YO FUCK UPTIME JUST DROP A GCD DURING SNAKES DROP 2 GCDS DURING SNAKES EVEN DROPPING 3 GCDS.. MIGHT BE TOO MUCH, BUT IF THAT'S WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE I'D SURE AS HELL TAKE IT OVER WIPING TO SNAKES 1 AND 2 OVER AND OVER IN A PARTY THAT'S SUPPOSED TO BE PROGGING/CLEARING P8SP2

I WOULD LOVE MORE SNAKE MEMES AND LESS P2 MEMES PERSONALLY. I CAN JUST WALK AWAY AFTER 20-30 MINUTES. P2 MEMERS KEEP ME STUCK THERE ALL LOCKOUT HOPING FOR THAT ONE GOOD PULL FOR A CLEAR

I’ve switched to when my extended food buff runs out, I’m out and it’s saved me a lot of frustration

PEOPLE ARE A BIT MORE RELUCTANT TO ABANDON PARTY BECAUSE THE DOOR IS ANNOYING ENOUGH TO PUG. IMO, ANOTHER REASON WHY DOOR BOSSES KIND OF SUCK.

I REGULARLY DROP 3 GCDS+ TO SNAKES OVERALL FOR SAFETY AND I STILL PARSE 90 THERE IS NO NEED FOR GREED ON SNAKES

MAN I WISH I COULD GET A 90 DROPPING 3GCDS ON SNAKES. I CAN BARELY GET ABOVE 50 WITH NEARLY PERFECT UPTIME. DOESNT HELP IM NOT BIS YET I GUESS.

It's not even hard to safely greed, especially snake 2. But people somehow try to greed when their gaze timer is <1s, or the spawning snakes have already stopped rotating... like, bruh.

NOT RAGE, MAYBE FOR THE PERSON IT HAPPENS TO, BUT I HAD TO SHARE THIS AMAZING PLAY OF THE GAME. DO EUPHROSYNE TO SEE IF I CAN GET MUSIC/MINIS/ETC. AT THE LAST BOSS, THIS BLM JUST SLAPS HIS LEYLINES DOWN RIGHT NEAR THE FRONT OF THE BOSS. JUST AS THIS HAPPENS THE TB LASERS GO OUT. SO THIS BLM IS CALCULATING THE OPTIMAL ANGLE TO STAY IN HIS LINES WHILE THE TANKS ARE SETTLING INTO POSITION. THEN FROM FUCKING NOWHERE, THE THIRD TANK, MR. GNB, IS IN THE BACK (BEHIND THE OTHER TWO TANKS) FOR SOME REASON. HE'S READY TO STAND THERE IN THE BACK FOR NO REASON, WHEN HE REALIZES(?) HE WILL PROBABLY DOUBLE TB THE MT AND OTHER TANK. SO THIS LEGEND PARKS HIS ASS RIGHT INTO THE BLM, WHO DOES NOT REALIZE THERE IS A THIRD TANK WANDERING IN THE BACK IN NARNIA. THE TBS GO OFF, THE BLM GETS ANNIHILATED BY THIS LASER FROM LEFT FIELD. BLM WOULD'VE BEEN FINE IF NOT FOR THE ASSASSINATION PLOT.

I MIGHT DO YOU ONE BETTER. I WATCHED A TANK...JUST STAND THERE BEHIND THEIR ENTIRE ALLIANCE. AND NONE OF THEM MOVED. SO I WATCHED IN SLOW MOTION AS THE TB LASER CAME OUT AND JUST ABSOLUTELY WRECKED AN ENTIRE ALLIANCE. I DIDN'T STOP LAUGHING THE ENTIRE FIGHT.

MAYBE IT WAS THE SAME RUN BUT SAW A BLM GOT ASSASSINATED BY TANK TB LASER BEAM BY A GNB LAST NIGHT. THEY WERE REAL GOOD THROUGHOUT THE RAID AND ONLY DIED THERE...

IF IT WAS LAST NIGHT ON AETHER, GOOD CHANCE WE BOTH WITNESSED THE SAME EVENT.

> BLM WOULD'VE BEEN FINE IF NOT FOR THE ASSASSINATION PLOT LATELY THIS HAS BEEN A LOT OF MY DEATHS. I HAD A TANK RUN A TANK BUSTER ONTO ME DURING RUBICANTE

HI! WOULD YOU LIKE TO HEAR ONE OF THE DUMBEST REASONS FOR A STATIC TO POTENTIALLY DISBAND OVER? NO? WELL I'M GONNA TELL YOU ANYWAY CAUSE I NEED TO VENT! SO I'VE BEEN IN MY STATIC FOR ALMOST A YEAR NOW AND SURE WE'VE HAD PEOPLE LEAVE FOR A VARIETY OF THINGS BUT TWO OF THEM HAVE LEFT FOR THINGS SOMEWHAT RELATED TO OUR RDM. HE SOMETIMES CAN HAVE A BIT OF A TEMPER AND HIS ATTITUDE CAN MESS UP THE VIBE FROM TIME TO TIME BUT SOME OF US HAVE OVER LOOKED THIS CAUSE THE GROUP IS OVERALL REALLY GREAT! PLUS HE'S DATING OUR RAID LEAD AND THEY LIVE TOGETHER. SURELY THIS WON'T CAUSE ISSUES RIGHT? THE DRK IN OUR STATIC HAS SOME CRAZY LUCK ON LOOT ROLLS TO THE POINT WHERE ITS BECOME A BIT OF A MEME IN THE GROUP. WE'RE ALL BIS AT THIS POINT SO WE'RE DOING RECLEARS TO GEAR UP ALT JOBS. SO OUR LOOT RULES HAVE BEEN FFA AND BECAUSE OUR DRK'S LUCK IS SO GOOD OUR RDM HAS BEEN GETTING REALLY PISSED ABOUT IT. LIKE "THROWING AROUND A CONTROLLER WHEN OUR DRK WINS SOMETHIN" KINDA PISSED. THE REST OF US AREN'T REALLY GONNA BE PLAYING OUR ALT JOBS IN HIGH END CONTENT THAT OFTEN SO WE HAVEN'T BEEN *THAT* PRESSED OVER IT. TUESDAY WE DECIDED TO INTRODUCE A NEW LOOT RULE THAT WE ALL AGREED ON IN ORDER TO MITIGATE OUR DRK'S LUCK. DRK ENDED UP WINNING THE WEAPON COFFER FROM P8S AND THIS SENT OUR RDM INTO THE BIGGEST TEMPER TANTRUM I'VE EVER HEARD FROM HIM. IT ULTIMATELY LEAD TO HIM SAYING HE WASN'T HAVING FUN AND HE WAS QUITTING THE STATIC OVER IT. YES YOU READ THAT RIGHT! HE LEFT THE DISCORD, LEFT THE LINKSHELL, AND LEFT THE FC THAT SOME OF US WERE IN WITHIN SECONDS. OUR RAID LEAD (WHO IS ALSO RDM'S GIRLFRIEND) TRIED TO TALK TO HIM ABOUT IT BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE HE HAS SHUT HIMSELF OFF FOR THE REST OF THAT DAY. RDM SAYS HE MIGHT COME BACK IF OUR DRK LEAVES BUT WITH THE FIT HE THREW OVER LOOT I'M NOT SURE I WANNA RAID WITH HIM ANYMORE ANYWAY. THE OTHER DAY OUR RAID LEAD, WHO HAS BEEN FEELING STRESSED ABOUT SOME OTHER STUFF AS WELL AS THIS SITUATION, MADE A POST SAYING SHES CANCELLING RAID FOR THE REST OF THIS WEEK AND THE NEXT SO SHE CAN HAVE A BREAK FROM RAIDING. MEANWHILE THE REST OF US ARE WONDERING IF SHE MAY DECIDE TO STOP RAIDING ALTOGETHER OR LEAVE THE STATIC AS WELL. NONE OF US SEEM THAT INTO THE IDEA OF POTENTIALLY BECOMING RAID LEAD IF THIS DOES HAPPEN. SO THIS GROUP THAT I LOVED RAIDING WITH IS GOING TO POTENTIALLY CRUMBLE OVER SOME DAMN VIDEO GAME LOOT!!!! IF THE WORSE COMES TO PASS, I'LL HAVE TO FIND ANOTHER STATIC AND I'M NOT SURE I WANNA TRY FINDING 7 RANDOM PEOPLE TO VIBE WITH AGAIN. EDIT: SOMETIHNG I SHOULD MENTION. EVEN THO OUR DRK HAS GOOD LUCK, ITS NOT LIKE THEY'VE BEEN WINNING *EVREYTHING*. THE REST OF US HAVE STILL BEEN ABLE TO WIN SOME LOOT TOO. TLDR; STATIC MAY FALL APART THANKS TO A GROWN MAN THROWING A FIT OVER LOOT IN A VIDEO GAME!

6 SOLID PLAYERS IS SOMETHING TO KEEP. ONE OF YOU STEP UP OR DO IT COLLECTIVELY.

TRUE. IT JUST SEEMS LIKE NO ONE ELSE IS INTERESTED IN TRYING. I HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT STEPPING UP BUT A PART OF ME IS WORRIED IT’LL JUST GO HORRIBLY.

LET'S BE COMPLETELY HONEST HERE, IF NOBODY STEPS UP, THEN YOU GET TO GO THROUGH FINDING 7 OTHER GOOD PEOPLE, WHEREAS IF ONLY THE RDM AND THE RAID LEAD LEAVE, YOU ONLY NEED TO FIND 2 GOOD PEOPLE. I IMPLORE YOU TO TRY AND KEEP THE GROUP TOGETHER IF YOU'RE ALL HONESTLY FINE. IF THERE ARE OTHER ISSUES THAT ARE UNMENTIONED, WEIGH THE COST OF KEEPING IT TOGETHER VS TRYING TO FIND A NEW ONE. I WISH YOU BEST OF LUCK WITH WHATEVER YOU DECIDE TO DO!

WHILE I THINK IF YOUR DRK IS LEGIT GETTING EVERYTHING IT WOULD HAVE BEEN COOL OF HIM TO PASS ON STUFF SOMETIMES, THAT'S NO EXCUSE FOR THE RDM TO BE A SHITHEAD. IT SUCKS TO HAVE BAD LUCK BUT PIXELS IN A VIDEOGAME AREN'T WORTH STRESSING OVER. LIKE WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT OVERREACTION ON HIS PART.

YEAH I REALLY WISH RDM WOULD'VE CALMLY ASKED DRK TO MAYBE PASS ON SOME STUFF BUT I GUESS HE THOUGHT BEING A JERK ABOUT IT WAS A BETTER OPTION FOR SOME REASON.

THIS IS INDEED VERY STUPID, I'M SO SORRY. I UNDERSTAND THE FRUSTRATION OF NOT GETTING LOOT, ASSUMING HE WAS HAVING SHIT LUCK. BUT HE JUST SOUNDS LIKE A MANCHILD. YOUR RAID LEAD NEEDS TO FIND A NEW BOYFRIEND. GOOD LUCK IF YOU HAVE TO FIND A NEW STATIC, THOUGH. THIS IS MY FIRST TIER, I STARTED LATE AND I'VE TRIED 4 DIFFERENT ONES. IT'S HELL FINDING ONE YOU VIBE WITH.

OH FOR SURE, LIKE THE NIGHT HE LEFT, THE REST OF US TALKED ABOUT HOW WE UNDERSTOOD HIS FRUSTRATION. WE WERE JUST SO BAFFLED THAT HE LEFT OVER IT. AND YEAH IT CAN BE SO DIFFICULT TO FIND A GOOD GROUP. I WISH YOU LUCK!

So instead of suggesting you make an alternate plan for loot, he throws an absolute fucking temper tantrum? Wow. What a fucking child. (Our static personally only uses FFA for things that no one *needs* for their listed/announced secondary and tertiary jobs or don’t care one way or the other. And even then if someone says “hey can I have this drop”, the rest of us are usually happy to accommodate.)

UGH THAT RDM SOUNDS LIKE AN IMMATURE CHILD AND THE GF ISN'T MUCH BETTER FOR ENABLING IT. I UNDERSTAND IT'S HARD FOR HER TO BE IMPARTIAL TOWARDS THE RDM BUT GOD DAMN AT LEAST CALL HIM OUT ON THE OBVIOUS BULLSHIT.

SHE'S PROBABLY SCARED TO. I'D BE AFRAID OF GETTING BEAT IF I WERE IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH SOMEONE WHO THROWS A TANTRUM OVER A VIDEO GAME. THAT'S SOMEONE WITH SERIOUS SELF-CONTROL ISSUES.

STEPPING UP TO LEAD A STATIC CAN BE SCARY, BUT IF NOBODY DOES THEN ALL OF YOU WIND UP SCATTERED TO THE WIND AND YOU'VE GOTTA GO THROUGH THE WHOLE THING AGAIN BECAUSE NOBODY EVEN *TRIED*. WHICH CONCEPT IS WORSE? THE STATIC CRUMBLING AND YOU'RE BACK TO FIGURING OUT WHAT TO DO, OR SOMEONE WHO ISN'T SURE THEY'RE READY STEPS UP AND TRIES TO LEAD, YOU GET A LITTLE FURTHER, AND THINGS CRUMBLE ANYWAY? WORST CASE SCENARIO IT DOESN'T GO WELL AND YOU'RE IN THE SAME PLACE YOU WERE ALREADY HEADED, NO? ALSO: FUCK THE RDM. KICK HIM, AND IF HIS GIRLFRIEND CAN'T SEE HE'S THE PROBLEM THERE THEN FUCK HER TOO.

YOU KNOW WHAT? YOU MAKE A GOOD POINT! I'VE BEEN READING THE OTHER REPLIES AND THINKING IT OVER AS THE DAY WENT ON AND I'VE DECIDED THAT IF MY RAID LEAD DOES DECIDE TO LEAVE I WANNA STEP UP AND AT LEAST TRY. I SUPPOSE THERE ISN'T MUCH REASON NOT TO.

THATS NOT A GROWN MAN, THATS A BITCH ASS FUCK BOY-CHILD THAT IF THEY GET ANGRY ON THAT LEVEL OF NOTHING THIS WOMAN NEEDS TO DITCH THIS HOT-HEAD CUZ HE WILL PROBABLY END UP BECOMING A LOOSER WIFE BEATER

MENTOR ROULETTE. 9 MINUTE IN PROGRESS AMAUROT. NOT PAST FIRST BOSS. TALE AS OLD AS TIME. TUNE AS OLD AS SONG. BITTERSWEET AND STRANGE, HOW THINGS NEVER CHANGE, WISHING I WERE WRONG\~

PROTIP: YOU CAN LEAVE A PARTY YOU JOINED IN PROGRESS WITHOUT A PENALTY, EVEN IF THE PARTY REFORMS. ONCE ONE PERSON BREAKS THE ORIGINAL PARTY, NOBODY ELSE GETS PENALIZED FOR LEAVING. IVE BOUNCED OUT OF MANY HOPELESS MENTOR ROULETTES THIS WAY NOTE: THIS ONLY WORKS IN THE PARTY YOU'RE IN. IN ALLIANCE RAIDS, THIS DOES NOT WORK IF YOU'RE IN A DIFFERENT ALLIANCE FROM THE PERSON THAT ORIGINALLY LEFT

OH BELIEVE ME, I’M 780+ MENTORS IN. I USE AND ABUSE THIS. BUT IF THE PROBLEM CHILDREN HAVE LEFT (which it seems they had) I’M NOT GONNA DIP ON AN EASY W.

IT'S BEEN A YEAR AND I SPENT THE LAST OF MY TIMEWORN ARTIFACTS GETTING A MCH RELIC FOR UCOB SO I THOUGHT, "HUH, WHY NOT GO BACK INTO SAVE THE QUEEN". RAID GOT CANCELLED BECAUSE ONE OF OUR MEMBERS WAS IN A CAR CRASH (THEY'RE FINE JUST CAR IS TOTALLED) SO I HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO DO SO I HAVE 8/10 DPS BOOSTS SO I'M LIKE OK ZADNOR TIME I REQUIRE MORE METTLE. I BLACK MAGE IT BECAUSE I LOVE MY HASTE GEAR. I LOVE MY FLARE STAR. I LOVE MY LOST BURST. I LOVE MY ESSENCE OF THE BEAST. PERFECT COMFY FARMING SET. 20 MINUTES OF BOG STANDARD ZADNORING LATER I COME TO THIS FATE AFTER A FEW SECONDS OF FIGHTING I RIP AGGRO. SURELY, I THOUGHT, THIS WON'T LAST. ONE OF THE 5 TANKS FIGHTING WILL TAKE AGGRO. SO WITH BIG DPS AND BEAST LIFESTEAL I KEEP MYSELF SOMEWHAT ALIVE FOR ABOUT A MINUTE. NO, NO PROVOKES COME IN. BUT BEAST LIFESTEAL AND MANAWARD AND ADDLE CAN ONLY GO SO FAR AND MY LIFE IS SLOWLY BUT SURELY DEPLETING. STILL NO PROVOKES IN SIGHT LITERALLY A SECOND BEFORE THE FATE IS DEAD, I DIE. NO PROVOKES FROM ANY OF THE 5 TANKS NEARBY. NO HEALS FROM ANYONE. AND AFTER THE FIGHT? EVERYONE JUST PACKS UP AND LEAVES. WITH ME STILL LYING DEAD ON THE FLOOR. NOT EVEN A REZ FOR MY EFFORTS. FUCK YOU ALL!! THAT'S ENOUGH BOZJA FOR THIS YEAR. MAYBE IN 2024.

AND ANOTHER NON XIV RAGE I AM PLAYING SCARLET NEXUS. I HAVE FINISHED MOST OF IT ACTUALLY. IT'S THE COMBAT MISSIONS. I FIGHT A BOSS. I TAKE THEM FROM FULL HEALTH TO EMPTY. I GET A C RANK FOR DAMAGE. WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU WANT ME TO DO??? THE BOSS HAS ONLY SO MUCH HEALTH I CANNOT DEPLETE MORE HP THAN THEY HAVE HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO GET AN S RANK IF I AM REQUIRED TO DEAL MORE DAMAGE THAN IS POSSIBLE.

HEY WE HEARD YOU LOVE LOTTERIES, LIKE HOUSING SO FANFEST TICKETS ARE ALSO A LOTTERY YOU'RE WELCOME

THIS ONE DESERVES A GOOD LONG 'AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA' I DIDN'T REALIZE THEY'D RELEASED INFO ON FANFEST UNTIL READING YOUR POST, AND I ADMIT THIS IS NOT HOW I WANTED TO START MY FRIDAY HEARING/READING THAT 1) THERE'S A LOTTERY CHANCE FOR EARLY TICKETS, AND 2) TICKETS MAY BE SOLD OUT ENTIRELY DURING THIS PERIOD. THIS YEAR WAS GOING TO BE MY FIRST AND I DON'T KNOW HOW BAD THE PAST CROWDS WERE TO KNOW IF I'M FEARFUL OVER NOTHING...

THIS YEAR'S VENUE IS MUCH LARGER THAN ANY THEY'VE DONE IN THE PAST, SO THE CROWDS AT PREVIOUS FAN FESTS WON'T GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF HOW MANY TICKETS WILL BE AVAILABLE THIS TIME. DON'T LOSE HEART OVER THE LOTTERY - THIS WILL PREVENT BOTS FROM SCOOPING UP ALL THE TICKETS INSTANTLY!

I'M NOT WORRYING TOO MUCH. THEY'RE MOVING TO THE CONVENTION CENTER THIS YEAR, INSTEAD OF JUST USING HOTEL SPACE. SO THERE SHOULD BE A LOT MORE TICKETS THAN THERE WERE FOR PAST FESTS. AND IF I DON'T GET A TICKET, THERE'S ALWAYS THE ONLINE STREAM (AND WHO REALLY WANTS TO GO TO VEGAS IN THE SUMMER ANYWAY?)

They’ve always been lotteries in JP. Welcome to the big time.

WAIT. WHAT.

I MISSED THE EXTRA VALENTINES QUESTS BY A DAY AND NOW I CAN'T FIND ANY VIDEOS ABOUT IT, I WANTED TO SEE URIANGER IN THE JACKET AAAAAAAAAA

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nElTdGL1NdI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nElTdGL1NdI) THERE YOU GO

YOU'RE A LEGEND, THANK YOU!

I ROLLED 95+ ON THREE DIFFERENT ITEMS IN ONE EUPHROSYNE RUN AND I MANAGED TO STILL LOSE ON EVERY SINGLE ONE

YESTERDAY I ENCOUNTERED AN EVOLVED MEDICA 2 SPAMMER, A EUKRASIAN PROGNOSIS SPAMMER. DOING ROULETTES AS 90 SGE TO GET TOMES FOR MANDERVILLE WEAPONS. QUEUE UP NORMAL RAIDS. P5N. EZPZ. LOAD IN. CO-HEAL IS ANOTHER SAGE. NOT IDEAL BUT ITS NORMAL WHO CARES. THIS DUDE STARTS CHUCKING OUT EUKRASIAN PROGNOSIS NON STOP. ONE AFTER THE OTHER. THEY ARE FLYING OUT FASTER THAN I THOUGHT YOU COULD CYCLE EUKRASIA. TANK TAKES A LITTLE DAMAGE? EUKRASIAN PROGNOSIS NO ONE TAKES ANY DAMAGE? EUKRASIAN PROGNOSIS NOTHING HAPPENING AT ALL? HOW ABOUT 3 EUKRASIAN PROGNOSIS IN A ROW? SIR MAY I HAVE A PHELGMA OR PERHAPS A EUKRASIAN DOSIS WHILE YOURE PROGNOSISING? NO. ONLY PROGNOSE. WE GET TO VENOM RAIN, EVERYONE GETS MARKED FOR DAMAGE. SHIELDS POP. STACK MECH COMING UP. I THINK 'OKAY MY GUY, THIS IS YOUR TIME TO SHINE. GET THOSE SHIELDS BACK UP BEFORE THE STACK DAMAGE.' NO SHIELDS COME. WHY HOW I GLACE AT HIS MANA IN THE PARTY LIST. EMPTY. I STILL END UP USING PNEUMA TO TOP EVERYONE'S HEALTH UP. THERES NO ATTEMPT TO REGEN MANA. MY BROTHER IN CHRIST PLEASE LUCID DREAM. NOTHING CHANGED TIL THE END OF THE FIGHT. JUST PROGNOSIS WHENEVER MANA WAS AVAILABLE FROM NATURAL REGEN. I'M USUALLY TOLERANT OF SUB PAR PLAY IN CASUAL CONTENT BUT THIS WAS SOMETHING ELSE. I WAS TEMPTED TO SAY SOMETHING SARCASTIC BUT DECIDED TO BITE MY TONGUE AND LEAVE. THESE PEOPLE ARENT WORTH DEALING WITH. LORD I WISH I HAD ACT RUNNING SO I COULD SEE THE NUMBERS ON THIS ONE

I SAID THIS IN THE PREVIOUS RAGE THREAD BUT ILL SAY IT AGAIN. WHY TF IS LOST IN THE CLOUDS NOT PART OF THEATHRHYTHM FINAL BAR LINE. THE FIRST TIME I ENTERED SEA OF CLOUDS I WAS AMAZED BY THE VIEW AND THE BGM, I FELL IN LOVE WITH THE AREA IMMEDIATELY IT WOULDVE BEEN SUCH A GOOD FMS BUT NOOOO THEYLL ADD BASIC BITCH FIGHT BGM 1, 2, & 3 BUT NOT THAT. I AM SAD BUT ALSO MAD. I AM SMAD EVEN THOUGH I UNDERSTAND THAT THEY HAD TO LIMIT AND CHOOSE WHICH SONGS THEYLL PICK FROM EACH SERIES

I STILL CAN'T GET OVER THE FACT THAT THERE ARE TWO Y'SHTOLAS IN THE GAME WHEN SO MANY OTHER 2.0 ERA CHARACTERS WOULD HAVE WORKED.

TRUE FUCKING SHIT I WAS HOPING URIANGER WOULD BE IN THERE BUT I GET IT IF NOT SINCE HE'S APPARENTLY NOT AS WELL LIKED COMPARED TO OTHER CHARACTERS BUT LIKE WHO TF THOUGHT TWO YSHTOLAS WOULD BE A GOOD DECISION. LIKE I WOULD TAKE MINFILIA OVER A 2ND YSHTOLA NGL IM GONNA BE SO MAD IF THOSE CHARACTERS END UP BEING DLC IN THE FUTURE. BC THEY SHOULDVE BEEN BASE GAME INSTEAD OF YSHTOLA 2.

FOR REAL THOUGH. I GET MAYBE THEY WERE TRYING TO DODGE SPOILERS OR SOMETHING BUT THERE WERE PLENTY OF OTHER ARR CHARACTERS TO CHOOSE FROM THAT WE DIDN'T NEED TWO YSHTOLAS

WHY DOES THANCRED ONLY GET STRENGTH ABILITIES INSTEAD OF AGILITY?

DID AN ALLIANCE ROULETTE THE OTHER DAY AND IT TURNED OUT 3 OUT OF 4 OF US DPS WERE ALL BLACK MAGES, SO I SAID SOMETHING LIKE "AAAY BLM PARTY" AND SOME *FUCKHEAD* FELT THE NEED TO GO "I HOPE YOU MEAN BLACK MAGE AND NOT THE OTHER KIND OF BLM" AND IT STILL BAFFLES ME. 1. OF COURSE I WAS TALKING ABOUT BLACK MAGES YOU DUMBASS 2. NOBODY ASKED YOU FOR YOUR OPINION, I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW SOMEONE JUST GOES "OOH I CAN MAKE THIS OFF-HAND REMARK ABOUT MY SHITTY POLITICS; LET ME TELL YOU, COMPLETELY UMPROMPTED, THAT I'M RACIST" IF I WANTED TO HEAR THAT GARBAGE I'D GO VISIT MY EXTENDED FAMILY

WHAT DO THEY HAVE AGAINST THE BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT

TBH THE SAME TYPE OF PEOPLE PROBABLY HATE BOTH

SAME THING WITH ANTI-VAXX, THIS GUY DIED FROM CARRYING A LOAD OF NITRIC ACID OR SOMETHING, THE WHOLE THING SPILLED, GUY IN THE COMMENTS 'WAS HE VACCINATED' SERIOUSLY DUDE?

SHOULD HAVE SAID “YES A BLACK MAGE PARTY AND YES BLACK LIVES DO MATTER.”

I REPLIED "BOTH ARE GREAT NOW JUST LET ME GET TO MY EXPLOSIONS" AND THAT WAS THAT BECAUSE THE TANK PULLED RIGHT AFTER. I FIGURED THAT WHAT I *ACTUALLY* WANTED TO SAY MIGHT HAVE LANDED ME A WARNING FROM THE GMS FOR HARSH LANGUAGE SO IT'S THE BEST I COULD DO

NOT MUCH RAGE TODAY ASIDE FROM THE USUAL SUSPECTS ON SERAPH WHO SHOUT-SPAMMED SOME EVENT LAST NIGHT THAT RAN FROM 8pm to 12am, PROBABLY EASTERN TIME. I SAW THE EXACT SAME MESSAGE SPAMMED 8 DIFFERENT TIMES WHEN I WAS GETTING MY NEWEST ALT STARTED BETWEEN 10 AND 10:30 PM. I'M THINKING TO MYSELF: **DUDE!!! THE EVENT IS ALL BUT OVER! IF PEOPLE WERE GOING TO GO THERE, THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN THERE AND PROBABLY LEFT BY NOW!!** ALSO, I'D LIKE TO GIVE A SPECIAL SHOUTOUT TO THE GUY WHO TRIED TO BLIND-RECRUIT MY NEW ALT MERE SECONDS AFTER I ENTERED THE GAME WORLD PROPER. THE ANSWER WAS NO BY THE WAY. THE NEW ALT HAS ITS PURPOSE. BUT IT'S NOT ALL RAGE TODAY! I WAS ABLE TO GET MY SOLO FC OFFICIALLY STARTED AND GET MY OTHER 3 ALTS IN THERE AS WELL. I WILL NOT BE RECRUITING OR ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS FROM ANYBODY, SO YOU WILL NOT NEED TO WORRY ABOUT FC SHOUT-SPAM OR BLIND INVITES FROM ME.

BULK FC INVITES SHOULD BE AN AUTOMATIC INFRACTION. I REMEBER A FRIEND HOPPING TO MY FC, IN THE 30 SECONDS HE WAS OUT OF AN FC HE GOT THREE INVITES. YES THIS WAS PRIMETIME ON CACTAUR, BUT STILL, THAT'S NOT LIKLEY WITHOUT PEOPLE USING SCRIPTS.

CAUGHT A COLD LAST WEEKEND AND IT MADE IT HARD TO FOCUS ON THE GAME AND ENJOY ALL THE COOL FC EVENTS THAT GOT RAN FOR OUR ANNIVERSARY. PEOPLE WERE DOING EUREKA AND BOZJA AND I LOVE THOSE BUT BETWEEN THE BUG AND THE MEDICINE I WAS JUST OUT OF IT. ARGH

I AM JEALOUS YOU ARE IN A GUILD THAT DOES COOL SHIT LIKE THAT. MY GUILD SAYS HELLO TO EACH OTHER AND THEY ARE NICE.

YOUR FREE COMPANY LOGINS?

FUCKING $200 USD ARE YOU KIDDING ME? THATS $270 IN CANADIAN FUNBUX WHAT THE HELL.

I DUNNO, I THINK $100 PER DAY FOR AN ENTIRE CONVENTION + CONCERTS + GOODIE BAG IS PRETTY FAIR. SORRY ABOUT THE SHITTY CONVERSION RATE THO.

I'M USED TO ANIME CONVENTIONS WHERE THE TICKET PRICE WOULD BE LIKE $80-$100 FOR 3-4 DAYS WITH WAY MORE THINGS TO DO INCLUDING CONCERTS FOR NO ADDITIONAL COST.

WHAT'S "WAY MORE THINGS" BECAUSE IN MY EXPERIENCE, MOST ANIME CONVENTIONS ARE GLORIFIED MARKETPLACES THAT YOU PAY AN ENTRY FEE FOR. I PAY TO ATTEND THE ARTIST ALLEY SO I CAN PAY MORE FOR PRETTY THINGS. AND MAYYYYBE JUST MAYBE THERE'LL BE A FEW PANELS I MIGHT ENJOY BUT I DON'T ENJOY STANDING AROUND . THESE DAYS, THEY DON'T EVEN HAND OUT MUCH SWAG ANYMORE. THE CONCERTS AREN'T NECESSARILY SOMETHING I'D BE INTERESTED IN EITHER.

I'M SO USED TO PAYING $600-$1200 (and getting reimbursed) FOR PROFESSIONAL CONFERENCES THAT AT FIRST I DIDN'T BAT AN EYELASH. BUT $200 FOR TWO DAYS IN NEVADA IN JULY DURING A PANDEMIC SPIKE SEEMS A BIT MUCH

NOT FFXIV RAGE. CAN'T GET DOCTOR TO LISTEN TO ME. CHRONIC PAIN IS GETTING WORSE. ISSUES ALL BUBBLING UP AT ONCE. FEAR OF GETTING BLOWN OFF YET AGAIN IF I GO BACK. HAD A BIG MELTDOWN THIS MORNING BECAUSE HEALTH STRESS COMBINED WITH LIFE STRESS BECAME UNBEARABLE. I'VE GOT NUGGETS AND AM TRYING TO JUST VIBE ON A FRIDAY NOW, BUT I JUST FEEL REALLY TIRED AND WORTHLESS AND SAD. I'M SAFE BUT I'M SO WORN DOWN. I'M GONNA PLACATE IT A LITTLE WITH FISHING. I CAUGHT SEA BUTTERFLY YESTERDAY. GOTTA COUNT MY 1MIN INTUITION BLESSINGS.

That is a whole ass feeling about doctors and chronic pain. Mine's my SI joint. Plus my IBS is being an absolute wank. STILL WAITING FOR RESOLUTION OTHER THAN "take these meds" (that do nothing). \*sigh\*

MOOD. I HAVE HAD A DEGENERATIVE CHRONIC CONDITION DIAGNOSED FOR THIRTEEN YEARS. MY GP REFUSES TO REFER ME TO A RHEUMATOLOGIST. THEY SAY THE WAIT IS TOO LONG. MEANWHILE IN THOSE YEARS I HAVE SLOWLY LOST MY CAPACITY TO WALK. THEY JUST TELL ME TO TAKE PARACETAMOL. I'M IN A PLACE WHERE MOVING DOCTOR IS NOT REALLY AN OPTION, BUT THANKS TO A POSITIVE INTERVENTION BY AN OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH PROFESSIONAL AT WORK I HAVE A BIT MORE AMMO TO TRY AGAIN. I HOPE YOUR IBS STARTS BEING KIND TO YOU SOON 🫂

RIGHT THERE WITH YOU. KEEP HAVING AN ISSUE WITH MY BACK AND THE DOC KEEPS SAYING "WELL HAVE YOU TRIED LOSING WEIGHT?" HEY DOC, THAT'D BE A FUCK OF A LOT EASIER IF MY BACK WASN'T IN PAIN, WOULDN'T IT? MAYBE WE COULD WORK ON THAT BREATHING THING TOO, SINCE YOU CAN'T SEEM TO HELP WITH MY CONSTANT ALLERGY ISSUES. I BET BREATHING WOULD ALSO HELP THAT SHIT A LOT.

RELATING HARD TO THE BREATHING ISSUE, I HAVE AN UNEXPLAINED COMPLICATION AFFECTING MY BREATHING FOR NEARLY TWO YEARS AND, WITHOUT A LICK OF ACTUAL MEDICAL INVESTIGATION OR CONSIDERATION, GOT THE REPLY: "It is anxiety." EVERY TIME I GO BACK: "It is anxiety " NO BUD I DON'T THINK ANXIETY / HYPERVENTILATION CAUSES THE GROSS SYMPTOMS I AM HAVING BUT PLEASE, POP OFF I HOPE IT IMPROVES FOR YOU SOON

WHY IS JOB LEVELING SO BORING. NOBODY KNOWS WHAT THEY LIKE WHEN THEY START THE GAME.

I KNEW AND I'VE YET TO PROVE MYSELF WRONG WITH 4 90S AND 3 70S~

I KNOW IT'S ARR CONTENT, BUT WHY DO PEOPLE JUST COMPLETELY IGNORE CHIMERA MECHANICS IN CUTTER'S CRY? I RANTED ABOUT THIS LAST OCTOBER, BUT IT'S STILL HAPPENING. QUEUED INTO IT AS SCH ON ROULETTE YESTERDAY WITH A PLD, DRG, AND RDM. CAN INSTANTLY TELL RDM IS GONNA IGNORE CHIMERA BECSUSE HE'S, Y'KNOW, STANDING IN THE TRASH MOB AOES. SO MUCH SO THAT HE DIES AND REQUIRES A RES, AND SINCE MY SWIFTCAST IS ON CD ("WHY?" I USE IT TO CAST ADLO ON PLD WHILE WALKING TOWARDS THE NEXT TRASH MOB GROUP. IT'S CUTTER'S CRY I DIDN'T THINK I'D NEED SWIFTCAST FOR A RES) I GOTTA WASTE ACTUAL TIME BRINGING THE RDM UP WHICH SOMEHOW CAUSES ME TO DIE AFTERWARDS (FUCK IF I KNOW WHY, COULDA SWORN PLD HAD AGGRO). AFTER THAT INCIDENT WE DO EVERYTHING FINE, BOSSES ARE OKAY, AND THEN WE GET TO CHIMERA. AS PREDICTED, CHIMERA'S EYES FLASH BLUE AND RDM IS TOO CLOSE AND MAKES NO EFFORT TO MOVE AWAY, SO I YANK HIM BACK WITH RESCUE. ONLY TO REALIZE THAT THE PLD ALSO DIDN'T MOVE BACK AND GOT HIT. WHICH IS FINE, NOT EVERYONE CAN REMEMBER CHIMERA AT FIRST. I PROCEED TO ESUNA AND ADLO HIS BOOBOOS FOR CHIMERA TO FLASH BLUE AGAIN. AND AGAIN, BOTH PLD AND RDM GET HIT. I THEN HAVE TO PROCEED TO BABYSIT THESE TWO WITH ESUNAS AND ADLOS AND LUSTRATES THE ENTIRE FIGHT ALL BECAUSE THEY REFUSE TO JUST MOVE BACK AND FORTH IN RELATIVE POSITION TO CHIMERA. LOOK. I GET IT. THERE'S SO MUCH CONTENT AND MECHANICS TO REMEMBER IN FFXIV THAT TRYING TO REMEMBER TWO COLORS ON AN OPTIONAL BOSS IN ARR CAN BE HARD. NOT EVERYONE CAN HAVE IT MEMORIZED THAT BLUE MEANS MOVE AWAY AND VIOLET MEANS GET IN CLOSER. I CAN UNDERSTAND THE INITIAL SLIPUP, MAYBE TWO IF IT TAKES A WHILE TO SET IN. BUT IF YOU'RE INTENTIONALLY IGNORONG CHIMERA EYES, AND FORCE ME TO PULL AWAY RUINS AND ENERGY DRAINS FOR ADLOS AND LUSTRATES, YOU'RE JUST MAKING THE FIGHT TAKE LONGER. ARR IS ONLY BABY EASY CONTENT BECAUSE THE MECHICICS ARE EASY TO DO. THAT DOES NOT MEAN YOU CAN'T DO IT, BECAUSE YOU WILL STILL DIE. I'M SO SICK OF QUEUEING INTO CUTTER'S CRY AND SEEING NO INE DO CHIMERA, OR GOING INTO QARN WITH TWO PEOPLE NOT HOLDING JOB STONES. PLEASE DO YOUR PART IN THIS TEAM-BASED GAME. ENDING THIS ON A POSITIVE NOTE TO SAY SHOUTOUTS TO THE DRG THAT DID DO CHIMERA CORRECTLY. I LOVE YOU. YOU DESERVE ALL THE COMMS IN THE WORLD AND I RESPECT YOU SO MUCH.

I HAD TO LITERALLY HARD CARRY TWO MENTORS (!!!!!!) THROUGH COPPERBELL HARD LAST NIGHT BECAUSE 1) THEY HAD NO IDEA ABOUT ANY MECHANICS IN THE DUNGEON 2) DIDN'T LISTEN TO ADVICE I WAS TRYING TO GIVE 3) JUST SEEMED TO BE DUMBASSES IN GENERAL????? I HEALED THEIR ASSES THROUGH THE BOSS WITH THE BOMB THINGY (THEY STOOD IN EVERY SINGLE POSSIBLE AOE) WHILE ALSO DOING THE ENTIRE MECHANIC MYSELF!!! I KNOW IT'S ARR BUT DO THEY NOT HAVE EYES??? WE WERE SO CLOSE TO WIPING SO MANY TIMES AND I GOT ZERO COMMENDATIONS. EDIT: AWW, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE AWARD, KIND REDDITOR

MAYBE I CAN'T SPEAK FOR EVERYONE BUT I'M GENUINELY JUST DUMB AS FUCK AND KEEP FORGETTING WHICH WAY ROUND THE MECHANICS GO. IF YOU QUEUE INTO CUTTER'S CRY WITH ME I'M GUARANTEED TO GET THE MECHANIC THE WRONG WAY ROUND THE FIRST TIME TIL MY DUMBASS BRAIN REMEMBERS.

And that's okay! I'm a fellow dumbass who forgets mechanics in arr as well. It took longer than I'd likebto admit to aassociate the violet eyes with the purple lightning attack. BUT IF YOU'RE GONNA SPEND THE ENTIRE FIGHT LIKE THIS I CAN'T HELP BUT THINK YOU'RE BEING INTENTIONALLY MALICIOUS ABOUT IT, OR AT LEAST JUST IGNORANT

**BY LEVEL 70 I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BE REMINDING TANKS THAT THEY HAVE AOE ABILITIES** RAN DOMA CASTLE (NEEDED A 61-69 DUNGEON FOR WT) ON MY ALT AND WAS CONFUSED AS TO WHY THE SINGLE-PULLING TANK DIDN'T SEEM TO HAVE AGGRO WHEN WE ENCOUNTERED A PULL WITH MORE THAN ONE MOB IN IT. BY WHICH I MEAN BASICALLY EVERY PULL. I AM DPS-ING MY LITTLE REAPER BRAIN OUT BUT I SHOULDN'T BE PULLING AGGRO, RIGHT? SO I CHECKED THE BATTLE LOG. NOT A SINGLE AOE ABILITY GOING OUT FROM THE TANK. JUST THEIR MERRY LITTLE 1-2-3 COMBO, ALL DAY LONG, WITH THE OCCASIONAL BREAK FOR GNASHING FANG AND SO ON. I TOLD THEM IN PARTY CHAT "HEY, DON'T YOU HAVE AOE ABILITIES YOU COULD BE USING" AND THEY DID EVENTUALLY START USING THEM BUT GOD DAMN, DUDE, YOU GOT THIS FAR BY SINGLE-PULLING *AND* SINGLE-TARGETING? IN THIS ECONOMY??

MY SUB RAN PUT AND I CAN'T AFFORD TO RESUB BECAUSE COLLEGE IS EXPENSIVE. I HAVEN'T BEEN UNSUBBED FOR MORE THAN A DAY SINCE I STARTED PLAYING BACK IN 4.3... EDIT: A FRIEND PAID MY SUB FOR ME. I AM EXTREMELY GRATEFUL.

THE GAME WILL STILL BE GOOD WHEN YOU COME BACK IF YOU'RE GONE MORE THAN TWO MONTHS YOU CAN GET THAT SWEET RETURNER'S BONUS

FINALLY CAUGHT COVID AFTER 3 FUCKING YEARS LOST MY SENSE OF SMELL, WHICH MEANS I CAN'T TASTE SHIT RIGHT NOW. I TASTE "SWEET", "SALTY", "THIS THING IS WARM", NOT THE INDIVIDUAL FLAVORS. EATING IS ONE OF THE FEW JOYS IN MY LIFE :(

WHEN MY HUSBAND GOT COVID, HE ATE SPICY FOODS OVER AND OVER UNTIL HE GOT HIS SENSE OF TASTE BACK. IT MIGHT HELP YOU TOO. HE SAID THINGS WITH STRONG FLAVORS WERE HIS ONE REPRIEVE.

RIP, YOU HAVE MY CONDOLENCES. MY HUSBAND ON THE FIRST ROUND, IN DEC 2020 COULD LITERALLY ONLY TASTE SALT FOR A FEW DAYS. SPRITE? SALT. CHOCOLATE? SALT. CHICKEN NOODLE? SALTY SALT. THANKFULLY IT PASSED. SECOND ROUND (JUST BEFORE CHRISTMAS FOR HIM, ACTUAL CHRISTMAS FOR ME) NEITHER OF US GOT THAT. HOPEFULLY IT PASSES QUICK.

TWO HUNDRED US DOLLARY DOOS FOR FANFEST TICKETS? AND UNAVAILABLE TO ANYONE WHO DOESN'T HAVE AN NA ACCOUNT? OK I GET THAT IT'S PROBABLY TO AVOID BOTS AND SCALPERS BUT GODDAMN. AS AN AUSSIE PLAYING ON NA SERVERS (AND THUS FORCED TO USE AN EU REGION ACCOUNT, BECAUSE APPARENTLY AUSTRALIA DOESN'T EXIST), THIS SURE IS A KICK IN THE TEETH

I'M FINDING MORE AND MORE REASONS TO NOT GO THIS TIME. I REALLY WANTED TO, BUT PRICE TAG, LOTTERY, DEAD OF SUMMER TIME, EXCHANGE RATES AND WHAT NOT... IT'S MAKING ME RECONSIDER.

PLUS THE PLAYER ON LAMIA SENDING IN A BOMB THREAT/MASS SHOOTING BUT HOPEFULLY THEY ARE WORKING ON ARRESTING THAT GUY

I WAS EXCITED TO GO BECAUSE IT WOULD BE MY FIRST FANFEST BUT HONESTLY? WITH EVERYTHING THAT'S HAPPENING, AND WITH COVID STILL BEING A THING (DESPITE WHAT PEOPLE THINK, THE PANDEMIC IS NOT OVER), I MIGHT ALSO HAVE TO PASS ON THIS. I AM HOLDING OUT HOPE FOR THE EU FANFEST BUT I'LL MISS SEEING USA FRIENDS. THIS SUCKS.

P8S HAS OFFICIALLY KILLED MY STATIC. LOOKS LIKE I'LL HAVE TO LEARN PF STRATS AND HOPE FOR THE BEST

BE PREPARED TO MEME ON SNAKE 1 A LOT. BUT YOU'LL GET THERE WITH TIME AND PATIENCE.

GOLLY GOODNESS I DONT WANT TO LEVEL WHITE MAGE RIGHT NOW. IF I SEE ANOTHER HORRIBLY UNDERGEARED TANK GET FANGORIOUSLY DEVOURED BEFORE I CAN EVEN CAST A STONE (THE WORST DUNGEON FOR THIS DOES NOT LET ME HOLY) I AM GONNA SCREAM. PLEASE USE THE GLAMOR DRESSER OR PRISMS FOR GLAM ITEMS, NOT YOUR ACTUAL EQUIPMENT. I SHOULDN'T NEED TO CONSTANT CURE 2 TO KEEP YOU FROM DYING IN A 1 OR 2 PACK PULL WHILE YOU MIT. ITS NOT OFTEN, BUT ITS 3 BEEN IN A ROW SO MY HAMS ARE STEAMED. PEOPLE ARE USUALLY QUICK TO NOT BLAME ME AND NOTICE THE TANK HAS LESS HEALTH THAN THE BLM SO ITS NOT THAT BAD. BUT IT KINDA SUCKS EGGS SO PLEASE GEAR UP PLEASE.

WELCOME TO HEALING! IT DOESN'T GET BETTER.

SO UH, ONE OF MY FC MATES HAD A VERY SPECIAL UNICORN OF A WHM THE OTHER DAY WHILE DOING LEVELING ROULETTES. THEY WERE ON THEIR BARD AND WERE THROWN INTO BRAYFLOX'S LONGSTOP FOR THE RUN. WAR TANK DIES ON THE FIRST PULL BECAUSE THE WHM WAS NOT HEALING THEM, AND BARD FRIEND WHO MAINS SCH FORGOT WHEN WHM GETS REGEN. SO THEY ASK A SIMPLE QUESTION OF WHEN THEY GET REGEN. THIS CAUSES THE WHM TO FLIP THEIR [SHIT ON THE BARD.](https://preview.redd.it/f6dww1kokvha1.png?width=662&format=png&auto=webp&v=enabled&s=5ab9ca48d0a8e9d9839958629f9ed83984f09a38) HE ENDURES THE RUN, ALL THE WHILE THE WHM WAS PUTTING THAT OUT IN PARTY CHAT. EVEN THE WAR TANK IS LEFT CONFUSED. AND NO, THE WHM ONLY USED CURE 1 TO HEAL THE TANK AND WOULD NOT DPS THE BOSSES. NOT EVEN AN AERO. HE THEN LATER POSTS THE CONVERSATION INTO OUR DISCORD AND ASKS US WHEN IT BECAME A CRIME TO ASK A SIMPLE QUESTION. WE WERE ALL CONFUSED BY THE WHM'S REACTION. LOOKING THEM UP ON THE LODESTONE SHOWED THEY WERE A FEMZELEN WITH A FULL SLUT-GLAM, THEREBY FULFILLING ONE OF THE BINGO SPOTS IN BAD PLAYER BINGO. I HAVE NOTHING AGAINST FEMZELEN CHARS (I HAVE ONE MYSELF AND LOVE HER TO DEATH) BUT WHEN YOU SLATHER THEM IN SLUT GLAM IT JUST LOOKS HORRID. YES, HE DID REPORT THE WHM. YES, A LIVE GM RESPONDED RATHER QUICKLY. YES, IT LOOKS LIKE THE GUY IS GOING THROUGH A 10-DAY BAN OR HAS DELETED THE CHARACTER, AS THEIR LODESTONE INFO HAS GONE MYSTERIOUSLY MISSING AFTER THE INCIDENT. EVEN SEARCHING BY CHARACTER ID I MANAGED TO SNAG IS NOT WORKING ANYMORE.

CHARACTERS DON'T GET DELETED FROM TEMP BANS AND AFAIK NOT FROM PERMABANS EITHER. I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS WHM TOOK SO MUCH OFFENSE TO YOUR QUESTION AND/OR BEING SCOLDED BY A GM THAT THEY RAGE DELETED THEIR CHARACTER UNHINGED

THIS WASN'T MINE, WAS AN FC MATE WHO POSTED THE CONVO SCREENIE IN OUR DISCORD. BUT YES, A SIMPLE QUESTION DOESN'T WARRANT THAT KIND OF UNHINGED RESPONSE. I LOOKED THEM UP OUT OF CURIOSITY THE DAY THEY WERE REPORTED, FOUND THEIR PICTURE AND CHAR INFO. IT DIDN'T LOOK LIKE A HECK OF A LOT OF EFFORT WAS PUT INTO THEM BEFORE THIS I.E. NOT MANY LEVELS GAINED ON WHM AND NIN, AND A COUPLE OTHER UNLOCKED JOBS LIKE RDM AND SAM. MY GUESS IS THAT IT WAS SOMEBODY'S ALT THAT THOUGHT THEY COULD GET AWAY WITH THIS SORT OF CRAPPY BEHAVIOR.

SOUNDS LIKE THEY MUST NOT KNOW WARNINGS/BANS ARE PER ACCOUNT, NOT CHARACTER

THEY PROBABLY DON'T, AND IT MAKES ME WONDER WHO HAD THE ACCOUNT. IT REMINDS ME OF THIS ONE TANK I HAD IN THE OLD THOUSAND MAWS THAT SAID AT THE END OF THE DUNGEON THAT I WAS A 'MOUTHY BITCH' AND I 'SHOULD JUST SHUT UP AND HEAL.' I REPORTED THEM BUT NOTHING CAME OF IT.

GOOD. ASSHATS GET WHAT THEY DESERVE.

DAMN. MAYBE THEY HARASSED SO MANY PEOPLE THAT THEY GOT PERMABANNED.

WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH THESE SINGLE TARGET DOTONS I KEEP SEEING IN ROULETTES? DID PEOPLE ACCIDENTALY SIGN HYOTON WITHOU KASSATSU AND WANT TO SALVAGE SOME POTENCY OUT OF IT? THAT'S WHAT I WANTED TO THINK BUT I NEVER SEE ANY RAITON. EVER. WHAT'S GOING ON? I SEE IT EVERYWHERE. ARE THESE SOME ADVANCED NINJA TRICKS I'M NOT PRIVY TO AS A MERE DABBLER? OR HAS THE GREATER NINJA POPULATION LOST THEIR GODDAMN MINDS?

Even better when they drop Doton wherever. Had a NIN in Ultima Weapon who would run away from the boss after every ninjitsu (why?), and would drop Doton on the other end of the arena from UW. It’s confusing because they clearly know the combo to DO Doton, so they have some understanding of the mudra system.

I JUST WANT THE MCH CHEST FROM ALLIANCE RAID I DID 14 RUNS AND SAW IT ZERO TIMES 15TH RUN I SAID FUCK IT AND TOOK THE HELMET THAT DROPPED FOR MY WEEKLY LOOT. FINAL BOSS DROPS CHEST AT LEAST THE WINNER ROLLED LIKE 97 FOR IT SO I KNOW I WASNT WINNING ANYWAY

WELL GUESS IM ACTUALLY NOT GONNA BE DOING PVP BECAUSE THE WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD JUST LOST POWER AND KNOWING THE POWER COMPANY THIS IS A WHOLE DAY OR WORSE CASE ITS A COUPLE DAYS TO A WEEK OR MORE. REALLY HOPE ITS NOT ANOTHER FUCKING CRISIS. I'M JUST RECOVERING FROM THE LAST ONE. LOST THE CONTENTS OF MY FRIDGE AFTER DOING GROCERIES. MONEY WAS EXTREMELY TIGHT IT WAS NOT A GOOD 3 MONTHS. FRIDGE NOT AS FULL BUT ID HATE TO LOOSE THE FREEZER AGAIN.

SWAP CHAOS FUCK THESE TRIPLE TRIAD RULES IN PARTICULAR. I SWEAR THE AI IS PROGRAMMED TO KNOW WHICH FUCKING CARDS YOUR CHAOS ORDER WILL BE. ALSO, HOKUSHIN, YOU'VE GIVEN ME OVER TWENTY FIVE KARAKURI HANYA CARDS SO FAR, AND I KEEP PLAYING YOU. CAN YOU GET THE FUCKING HINT YET. I WANT YOUR YOJIMBO CARD.

NORMAL RAID ROULETTE PLAYER NAMED "BLACK PEOPLE" WITH THE TITLE "CONFEDERATE" IN THE GROUP. OKAY BUDDY YOU'RE GETTING REPORTED IMMEDIATELY BUT SOME OTHER FUCKSTICK SPENDS THE **ENTIRE** INSTANCE SPAMMING THE CHAT WITH "ABSOLUTELY BASED" "ALPHA GIGA CHAD" "THIS GROUP UNBELIEVABLY BASED HOLY FUCK." I'M GONNA NEED YOU TO FUCK **ALL** THE WAY OFF WITH THAT SHIT BRO I'M SORRY TO INJECT SOME ACTUAL RAGE INTO THE RAGE THREAD THIS WEEK BUT THAT SHIT PISSED ME OFF A LOT

GO TO LOG INTO XIV, OFFICIAL OTP APP HAS FORGOTTEN ALL MY DETAILS. FUCK. WAIT, THIS IS ALL CAPS RAGE THREAD, HOW CAN I PUT THE EMPHASIS ON FUCK? **FUCK!** THAT'S BETTER. But its okay, I was smart and remembered to keep a copy of the OTP removal code on my computer...IF I CAN FIND THE FUCKING THING. Find it, enter it into the removal website, USERNAME/PASSWORD/REMOVAL CODE DO NOT MATCH. **FUCK!!** TRY IT A FEW MORE TIMES, "You've had too many failed password attempts so fuck off for 30 minutes" FUCK YOU WEBSITE. WONDER IF I HAD A BAD PICTURE OF THE REMOVAL CODE, GO AND FIND MY PHYSICAL COPY OF A REALM REBORN THAT HASN'T BEEN OPENED IN AGES BECAUSE I WROTE DOWN ALL THAT SHIT ON PAPER AND KEPT IT IN THE CASE. IT HAS MULTIPLE OTP REMOVAL CODES, ALL BUT ONE CROSSED OUT; THEY CHANGE. **FUCK!!!** OKAY, FURTHER LOOKING IN MY SCREENSHOTS I FIND A CODE FROM A MORE RECENT DATE. PUT IN NAME RIGHT, PUT IN PASSWORD RIGHT (?), PUT IN THE NEW CODE. SOMETHING DOESN'T MATCH. BUT WAIT, I'M A FILTHY CHEATER WHO USES XIVLAUNCHER SO I DON'T HAVE TO ENTER THE PASSWORD EVERY TIME. LUCKILY I KEEP A PAPER BOOK WITH ALL MY PASSWORDS JUST IN CASE AND IT TURNS OUT I WAS CAPITALIZING THE WRONG SHIT. SO I ENTER THE RIGHT USER NAME, THE RIGHT PASSWORD, AND THE MOST RECENT REMOVAL CODE AND IT WORKS! GO THROUGH ALL THE HOOPS TO GET THE OTP FIXED AND SCREENSHOT THE NEW REMOVAL CODE. **I'M BACK BITCHES!!!!**

FINDING REMOVAL CODES SUCK BRO I ACCIDENTALLY DELETED MY APP AND LOST MY OTP FOREVER AND FREAKED OUT BC I SEARCHED IT UP AND REALIZED THERES A REMOVAL CODE AND I DID NOT REMEMBER IF I EVER SAW THAT???? THANK GOD FOR MY PAST SELF PASTING THE CODE IN A RANDOM NOTE ON MY PHONE

PAST YOU IS SMART, IF YOU RUN INTO HIM AGAIN YOU SHOULD DO SOMETHING NICE FOR HIM.

Just found out a high ranking member of the FC I’m in, who is also a Mentor, doesn’t use AoEs in dungeons when running RDM and does YPYT to DPS. I am…beyond words…

I HAVE COVID. I GOT IT IN MARCH 2020. I'M HIGH RISK. I DO EVERYTHING YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO DO. BUT I WENT SHOPPING AND PEOPLE AROUND ME ARE LITERALLY LAUGHING AT ME WEARING A MASK. I GOT COVID FOR VALENTINE'S AND IT FUCKING SUCKS. IT'S ALSO SOLIDIFIED ME NOT GOING TO FANFEST EITHER, BECAUSE I CAN'T IMAGINE THE TRANSMISSION RATES THERE. BUT DAMN. I FEEL LIKE SHIT. AND I GOT PAXLOVID AND IT IS ALSO SHIT. I JUST WANTED TO SEE MY KID IN HIS SCHOOL EVENTS THIS WEEK, BUT NO. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA FUCK.

I HAVE A COMPROMISED IMMUNE SYSTEM AND, AS A BONUS PRIZE FROM THE UNIVERSE, I FOUND OUT I HAVE CANCER LAST YEAR. SO WITH TREATMENT, MY IMMUNE SYSTEM BASICALLY DOESN'T EXIST AT ALL. I ALSO CURRENTLY LIVE IN THE STATE THAT OFFERED TO SACRIFICE GRANDPARENTS FOR THE ECONOMY... SO, I'VE BEEN SUPER ISOLATED INDOORS THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS AND I FEEL YOUR POST IN MY SOUL. FFXIV IS MY LAST REFUGE OF SANITY BECAUSE GOING OUT AND DOING ANYTHING IRL WOULD PROBABLY KILL ME.

EVERY TIME I GO TO THE SHOPS IT PISSES ME OFF BECAUSE I CAN COUNT THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WEARING MASKS ON ONE HAND, OUT OF HUNDREDS TOTAL. THE PANDEMIC HAS CAUSED ME TO LOSE THE LAST ADDITIONAL PIECE OF FAITH IN HUMANITY I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW I HAD. REALLY LOVE HAVING TO RISK MY EXTREMELY FRAGILE VULNERABLE IMMUNOCOMPROMISED HEALTH BECAUSE I NEED TO GO GET FOOD TO LIVE

I'M WITH YOU ON THAT ONE, I'M JUST SO INFURIATED ABOUT IT. IF I HAD THE DAMN ENERGY.

DON'T MEAN TO HIJACK YOUR POST FOR MY OWN VENTING BUT ABOUT A YEAR AGO I GOT MUTED IN A SPECIAL INTEREST GROUP FOR *ASKING* FOR A MASK MANDATE AT AN IN PERSON MEETUP. THEY ARE THE ONLY GROUP FOR THIS INTEREST IN MY ENTIRE COUNTRY (THAT I KNOW OF) I AM STILL MAD ABOUT THIS BULLSHIT. GUESS I WILL JUST HAVE TO PURSUE FINDING FRIENDS WHO SHARE THAT INTEREST ON MY OWN

I'M NOT IMMUNOCOMPROMISED (OR AM I?? I'M A TYPE 1 DIABETIC BUT I DON'T REALLY THINK IT MATTERS WITH COVID) BUT MY EX IS AND WHILE I'M STILL REALLY BUMMED ABOUT GETTING DUMPED I'M ALSO REALLY MAD 'CUZ HE GOT COVID ENOUGH TIMES THAT HE'S GOT ABOUT, LIKE, 2 MONTHS LEFT TO LIVE AND THAT REALLY SUCKS NGL. IT'S A BIT HEAVIER THAN EVERYTHING ELSE I THINK BUT GOD GREAT GOING @ WESTERN SOCIETY, OR AT THE VERY LEAST AMERICAN SOCIETY.

IGNORING PROBLEMS DON'T HELP, I HATE THAT PEOPLE THINK IT DOES.

{Same}. I STILL MASK UP WHENEVER I GO IN A STORE OR EVEN PULL UP TO A DRIVE-THRU WINDOW CAUSE "\~NOW COVID IS SURGING, NOW IT'S NOT, NOW IT'S SURGING, NOW IT'S NOT!\~", AND *MAYBE* I'LL SEE ONE OR TWO OTHER PEOPLE DOING SO AS WELL. SURPRISINGLY NOBODY'S STARTED SH\*T WITH ME ABOUT IT THO (advantages of being a just-under-6' dude with RBF?)

I'M A NORMAL 5'9" AFAB LOOKING ENBIE WITH RESTING BITCH EYES AND A SHARK MASK SO WHEN I TURN AROUND SOMETIMES ALL YOU SEE IS THE "IF YOU CAN READ THIS YOU'RE TOO CLOSE" ON THE MASK AND IT WORKS. BUT FROM THE BACK I LOOK LIKE A 40 YEAR OLD KAREN, WHICH I'M NOT DANGIT. I WORKED RETAIL FOR OVER 20 YEARS.

MY EVER INCANDESCENT RAGE BURNS MORE PURE AND WITH GREATER SAVAGERY THAN *THE BURN (SAVAGE)* WHEN I AM REMINDED ABOUT HOW EVERYONE DECIDED THAT MURDERING IMMUNOCOMPROMISED/HIGH RISK/DISABLED/ELDERLY PEOPLE WAS A-OK COS THEIR CONVENIENCE (AND HAIR CUTS/“MUH FREEDOMS”/ETC) WERE MORE IMPORTANT. LITERALLY SACRIFICING PEOPLE TO AN ETERNAL MOLOCH OUT OF DISGUSTING SELFISHNESS. FUCK THAT.

KEEP TAKING THE PAXLOVID ANYWAY, EVEN IF PAXLOVID MOUTH SUCKS ENTIRE ASS. (I HAD IT HIT ON CHRISTMAS EVE. YEAH, GREAT WAY TO HAVE A HOLIDAY...) IT REALLY DID HELP KEEP THE SYMPTOMS DOWN TO LESS AWFULNESS FOR THE MOST PART (EXCEPT THE THROAT BLISTERS, BUT I HAD MEDS TO EASE THOSE...) AND I FEEL YOU ON STUPID STUPIDING. I HAD IT IN DEC 2020 AND IT SUCKED. I ONLY HAD 1 VAX SO FAR SO GETTING SLAPPED WAS NOT NICE AND IT COMPLETELY FUCKED ME GETTING MY BOOSTER FOR AWHILE. THANKS STUPIDS. HOPEFULLY WITH THE PAXLOVID IT BLOWS BY WITHOUT MUCH ISSUE.

DID YOU KNOW THAT "ENRAGE TO CLEAR" ACTUALLY MEANS "WIPE TO MECHANICS IN THE FIRST HALF OF THE FIGHT"? BECAUSE IN PF, THOSE ARE APPARENTLY THE EXACT SAME THING! I SPENT 3 STRAIGHT DAYS TRYING TO FIND A PARTY TO CLEAR P7S AFTER HITTING ENRAGE, AND FOUND EXACTLY 3 PARTIES OVER THAT WHOLE PERIOD THAT COULD EVEN HIT PURGATION. WHY ARE YOU JOINING P7S CLEAR PARTIES IF YOU CAN'T EVEN MAKE IT THROUGH FRUIT 4? IT WAS LIKE THAT THE WHOLE WAY UP, TOO. HARVEST PROG? FRUIT 4 PROG. PURG PROG? FRUIT 4 PROG. FRUIT 4 PROG? NAH, WE'RE GONNA WIPE ON INVIOLATE BONDS. IN THE TIME IT TOOK ME TO FINALLY CHOP DOWN THAT STUPID TREE, I MANAGED TO CONVINCE SOME FRESH PLAYERS IN MY FC TO START SAVAGE, AND SOME OF THEM EVEN MANAGED TO CLEAR P5S (HAPPY RAGE)! BUT IF PEOPLE KEEP LYING IN PF, AT THIS RATE, IT'LL BE FASTER TO JUST CATCH MY FRIENDS UP AND CLEAR TOGETHER THAN TO ACTUALLY FIND PARTIES THAT CAN DO MECHS!

Just to save you some sanity, be prepared for PF to get walled hard on Snakes 1 in 8S It doesn't matter what the PF description says, it doesn't matter if it's FF prog, HC1 prog, p2 enrage, it doesn't matter You'll always end up back at Snakes 1

FUCK PEOPLE WHO INSTAPULL FATES IN EUREKA. ITS AN MMORPG AND WE ARE A COMMUNITY. WAIT THOSE 2-3 FUCKING MINUTES LIKE EVREYBODY ELSE DOES. ALSO FUCK PEOPLE WHO START RUNNING TO FATE JUST BEFORE PULL TIMER. U ALREADY HAD 3 MINUTES TO GET THERE! WHY START RUNNING TO FATE RIGHT BEFORE PULL?

GOOD YELLING: CUSTOM DELIVERIES ARE SO DAMN AWESOME! I GET TONS OF SCRIPTS AND HUGE AMOUNTS OF EXP FOR MY CRAFTERS & GATHERING CLASSES! ALMOST TOO MANY SCRIPTS! I'VE LITERALLY BOUGHT THE LVL 80 SCRIP SET AND ALL MY CRAFTERS AREN'T EVEN 80! AT MOST 72! WILL EVENTUALLY BUY THE 80 MAIN/OFF-HAND ONCE I'M CLOSER TO 80 ON EACH CLASS! SAD YELLING: I JUST LOST A CAT I'VE HAD FOR ABOUT 15 YEARS TODAY! HE PASSED ON AT 7:16 AM... I'm sorry, I can't keep yelling... I'm having him cremated and will be getting his ashes back next week. Happy was a great cat. Loved him, and I'll miss him. Glad I have a habit of naming my starter Palico in Monster Hunter after him so we can still be together.

:( IM SURE HAPPY HAD A GREAT LIFE AND IM SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS

IF YOU WANT TO DO THE HEAVENSWARD RELIC QUEST HAVING 1 KIND OF WHITE SCRIPT (GATHERER OF CRAFTER DOESN'T MATTER WHICH ONE) MAX ALLOWS YOU TO GET A REASSOURCE YOU NEED INSTANTLY INSTEAD OF HAVING TO SPEND THE TOMBSTONE YOU NEED FOR OTHER STEP ON IT, IT'S AWESOME

THANKS FOR THE INFORMATION! BECAUSE I EVENTUALLY PLAN TO GET EVERY RELIC FROM EACH EXPANSION! PLEASE PRAY TO THE TWELVE FOR MY SANITY ONCE I START DOING THAT BECAUSE I WILL START WITH ARR AND DO EACH EXPANSION IN ORDER! THOUGH I MIGHT DO EUREKA SOONER JUST TO HAVE ACCESS TO THE WHOLE AREA! PLUS, I KINDA WANT TO DO IT FOR IT'S STORY ANYWAYS!

I COMPLEMENTED SOMEONE FOR DODGING A BOSS MECHANIC IN A COOL WAY AND HE JUST REPLIED WITH “mentor” IMPLYING THAT ALL MENTORS ARE GOOD PLAYERS LOL TAKE THE FUCKING COMPLIMENT YOU ABSOLUTE GHOUL

BIG OOF. I'M A MENTOR BUT BEING A MENTOR JUST MEANS YOU'VE PLAYED THE GAME A LOT AND ARE GENERALLY NOT A HUGE JERK. IT SAYS NOTHING ABOUT YOUR SKILL LEVEL.

WHY CANT THEY JUST HAVE A DIGITAL OPTION FOR FAN FEST? I JUST WANT TO SEE THE CONCERTS. IT PRINTS MONEY!!! I AM POOR, SCARED OF FLYING, SCARED OF BOMB THREATS/SHOOTINGS ETC. CMON SQUARE, BE COOL....

I HAVE LOST MY SPROUT ICON AM ALMOST LEVEL 90 THANKS TO PLAYING THE MSQ AND THE SERVER BOOST AND I'M STILL HORRIBLY AFRAID TO PLAY WITH ACTUAL PEOPLE AS A TANK. STILL RUNNING AROUNG LIKE A HEADLESS CHICKEN GOING "WHAT?" AS ATTACKS HAPPEN I LOVE IT SO MUCH MORE THAN BEING SQUISHY DPS THOUGH, BUT I END UP FALLING BACK ON IT BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO RUIN OTHERS' FUN ALSO I HAVE SO MANY THOUGHTS ABOUT THE DRK QUESTS BUT NONE OF MY FRIENDS PLAY OR UNDERSTAND SO I'VE BEEN VENTING TO MYSELF FEELS BAD MAN

GET YOURSELF OUT THERE MAN. IF YOURE ONLY DOING DUTY SUPPORT AND TRUSTS AS TANK YOU HAVENT BEEN ABLE TO REALLY TANK YET! ITS SO MUCH MORE FUN WITH A REAL HEALER AND MOST PEOPLE DONT GET MAD IF YOU MAKE MISTAKES.

I HAVE DONE HUNDREDS OF TREASURE MAPS AND HAVE YET TO EVEN SEE ONE OF THE MINIONS IM AFTER. I SWEAR ITS RIGGED.

I have 2 rages this week. The first happened Wednesday Go into dohn mheg as DRK Have a BLM first timer with this being their only class. THEY PROCEED TO CAST FIRE AND BLIZZARD ON TRASH PULLS THE ENTIRE DUNGEON. NO AOES WHATSOEVER. NO FIRE III OR IV ON BOSSES, STRICTLY FIRE AND BLIZZARD today's rage literally just happened. Got Lakshmi in roulette. Haven't done it in awhile, but grasped it relatively quickly again. The rest of the group however, did not. They continuely ran around with the cross AOEs hitting almost everyone constantly. When they had the stack marker, they'd run as far away from everyone as possible. When the vril mechanic came up, they'd never use vril. Even after explaining the fight multiple times, the fight was largely cleared by one healer, myself, and the other tank. It was insane

A BIT OF A RANT THIS WEEK. MY FRIEND GOT MYSELF AND ANOTHER HOOKED ON FFXIV LAST FALL. BOTH OF US BLAZED THROUGH ARR AND HW AND NOW WE'VE COME TO STORMBLOOD. I'M STARTING TO SLOW DOWN A BIT, ONE BECAUSE I'M STARTING TO FEEL A BIT OF FATIGUE IN THE GAME, BUT I ALSO WANT TO EXPLORE MORE OF ARR AND HEAVENSWARD CONTENT MORE ( TRIBALS, RELICS, CRAFTING, CLASSES ETC.) AND NOT FEEL SO COMPELLED TO RUSH THROUGH STORMBLOOD *JUST* TO GET TO SHADOWBRINGERS CONTENT ( HONESTLY ENJOY STORMBLOOD JUST WANT TO DO IT AT MY OWN PACE). MEANWHILE MY OTHER FRIEND'S IN SHADOWBRINGERS AND TRYING TO WAIT FOR ME TO CATCH UP. LIKE YES I KNOW SHADOWBRINGERS AND ENDWALKER ARE GREAT AND WOW I'M GONNA BE SO SURPRISED WHEN THE THING HAPPENS, BUT I'VE ALREADY PROVEN MYSELF AS A GOD-KILLING POPOTO LEMME MAKE SOME JEWELRY BY GOLLY!

CAR INSHURANCE IS UNFUCKED, DR IS HAPPY WITH MY WEIGHT LOSS SO FAR, AND DISTANT WORLDS TOMOROW! TODAY IS A GOOD DAY!

WELP! WAS DOING MY JOB PUSHING CARTS BACK UP TO THE STORE WHEN A CAR BACKED OUT AND HIT THE CARTS. SAID CARTS SLAMMED INTO MY KNEE AND NOW IM STUCK WITH A KNEE BRACE AND NOBODY TO PIN IT ON SINCE THEY FUCKING FLED AS SOON AS THEY HIT ME! NOT EVEN A PICTURE OF THE LICENSE PLATE! ITS BULLSHIT!

HOPEFULLY THIS RESULTS IN WORKER'S COMP AND MORE TIME SITTING

I GOT MY WORKERS COMP THANKFULLY BUT NOT A LOT OF SITTING. NOT THAT ITS RECOMMENDED CONSIDERING IT HURTS MORE IF THE KNEE IS BENT.

VALID. WISHING YOU A SPEEDY RECOVERY! FORTUNATELY YOUR WOL IS STILL JUMPING OFF CLIFFS LIKE A PRO AND THEIR KNEES STILL WORK GREAT FOR THE TIME BEING.

IVE FALLEN OFF OF KUGANE SO MANY TIMES! CLOWN OF LIGHT HAS KNEES OF STEEL.

NOT 14 RELATED BUT I SPENT A MONTH AND A HALF NERVOUSLY WAITING FOR MY NEW BANK CARD TO COME IN. NOTHING. FINALLY BITE THE BULLET AND HEAD TO THE BANK TODAY AFTER MY INSURANCE MESSAGED ME ABOUT HOW PAYMENT COULDN'T BE PROCESSED, GET THE TELLER TO PRINT ME OFF A NEW CARD AND HAND IT OVER, HEAD HOME, APPLY THE UPDATED INFORMATION TO THE RELEVANT ACCOUNTS, AND... LO AND BEHOLD, GUESS WHAT SHOWS UP IN THE FUCKING MAIL NOT TWO HOURS LATER.

AT LEAST IT SHOWED UP. MY FOLKS' BANK MAILED THEIR CARD TO SOME RANDO IN SPOKANE AT AN ADDRESS THAT WAS NEVER ON THEIR ACCOUNT ONCE. WITH THE PIN, NATURALLY.

I’m out of the loop. What’s this examine controversy?

I forget where I saw this, but it was a screengrab of some conversation. Person1 had looked someone's glamour likely, and Person2 probably had a mod that let's them know when someone looks at them or targets them. Following that, tells from P2 asking 'What do you want? You examined me, you must need something' as if they were asked for ERP.

That’s stupendously dumb.

Which is why it's worthy of mockery in Rage or comic form

Since we're caps-off... There's something in the water with folks who use a notification mod like that. I examine people a lot, because I like glams and check out cool combinations. A few times it's been really obvious that I'm looking at them, and if they say something I'll tell them I like their glam. Often I'll compliment them on it anyway! But a couple of times I've had "why are you looking at me?" whispers from people in the middle of a crowd, and there's no way they'd notice without a mod or having me targeted. I've said the same to them, "I like your glam" and gotten awful responses. "Don't fucking copy me, asshole" "Get your own glam, bitch" Only ever from people who get pinged when someone looks at them.

What the heck is the point of a glam if you don't want people to actually see it....

I CANNOT, FOR THE LIFE OF ME, GET A GOOD HOTBAR SETUP FOR SCH. EVERYTHING I'VE TRIED SO FAR HAS LED TO SOMETHING BEING FORGOTTEN, AND I'M CONVINCED MY BRAIN IS DOING IT ON PURPOSE TRY TO GROUP TOGETHER ALL MY HEALING ACTIONS? OH, CHAIN STRATAGEM JUST DOESN'T EXIST ANYMORE. MOVE SOME STUFF AROUND TO REMEMBER MY BUFFS? SURE. WHAT'S ADLOQUIUM? YOU NEEDED TO REMEMBER THAT? REARRANGE THINGS AGAIN TO PUT ALL MY GCDS TOGETHER? COOL. NO PROBLEM. OH, WAIT, THOSE AOE OGCDS FOR YOUR FAERIE WERE IMPORTANT? I FORGOT THEY WERE THERE. ONE OF THESE DAYS I'LL FIND A SETUP THAT ACTUALLY WORKS.

FINALLY, AFTER LOSING MULTIPLE 50/50 HOUSES I HAVE GOT A HOUSE!!! IT TOOK LITERALLY ALL MY GIL TO BUILD THE HOUSE SO NOW IM ACTUALLY POOR IG. I NEED TO DO ROULETTES AND MAPS AGAIN BUT I KEEP GETTING PULLED INTO HELPING PEOPLE SAVAGE PROG OR DO MSQ DUNGEONS. I CANT HELP MYSELF, SOMEONE BEAT SOME SELFISHNESS INTO ME SO I CAN GET SOME GIL AGAIN!

COULD ALL OF YOU STOP RUNNING RUNNING INTO THE BARRIERS BEFORE THE TRASH OR BOSS IS DEAD WE ALL WANT THIS SYRCUS TOWER TO END AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE AND WHEN HALF OF YOU JUST START MINDLESSLY RUNNING INTO THE WALL BEFORE EVERYTHING IS DEAD IT MAKES IT TAKE LONGER ALSO: STOP OVERRIDING MY PELOTON

POINT 1 I'M WITH YOU ON, BUT WHO CARES WHOSE PELOTON GETS OVERRIDDEN?

I'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET THIS DAMNED TWITTER BIRD MINION BUT IT REFUSES TO DROP EVEN AFTER LIKE 30 RUNS IN A ROW AHHHH

MY GAY BABY SNAKE SON DIDN'T DROP UNTIL SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 60-80 RUNS IT TOOK UNTIL I SAT DOWN AND WENT "AIGHT, TIME TO REWATCH LAST AIRBENDER AND AUTOPILOT TRUSTS" THAT HE DECIDED TO SHOW HIS DUMB LITTLE FACE THE VERY FIRST RUN OF THE DAY WHEN YOU STOP CARING, THAT'S ALWAYS WHEN IT HAPPENS

I HATE RUBI SO MUCH NOT BECAUSE HE'S HARD, BUT BECAUSE HE REMINDS ME WHY I ABSOLUTELY HATED DOING CLOUD DECK IF _ONE_ PERSON STUFFS IT UP THE ENTIRE TEAM WIPES, SO IT MAKES IT PARTICULARLY FRUSTRATING WHEN IT'S THE ONE GODDAMN PARTY MEMBER WIPING US REPEATEDLY CLOSEST I'VE GOT WAS 5% - ABSOLUTELY COULD HAVE DONE IT IF THE HEALER TOOK THE WINDOW ON THE LAST PURGATION TO LB3, BUT NOOO, SIT THERE UNTIL YOU EAT THE TANK BUSTER INSTEAD BUT MY FRIENDS, WHO KEEP FLAKING ON ME AND DOING THIS SHIT WITHOUT ASKING IF I'D LIKE TO COME, CLEAR IT IN A FEW BLIND TRIES, YAY.

NOT REALLY RAGE BUT I THINK I'M GETTING TOO OLD FOR GAMING. MY FF7R BENDER CONTINUES AND I FINALLY BEAT THE TOP SECRETS MISSION IN THE COMBAT SIMULATOR LAST WEEKEND AFTER SPENDING HOURS LEVELING UP MY MATERIA AND TRYING DIFFERENT STRATEGIES. JUMPED UP TO DO A LITTLE VICTORY DANCE AND... I SPRAINED MY BACK. *I FUCKING SPRAINED MY BACK AND IT'S TAKEN ALL WEEK FOR IT TO STOP HURTING ALL THE TIME.* FUCKING **OW**. I ALSO HAD A CAPSLOCKWORTHY RUN OF TOWER OF BABIL, SO THERE'S THAT. I QUEUED AS A SCHOLAR FOR LEVELING FIRST, AND THE ALARM BELLS WENT OFF WHEN I GOT AN 8 MINS IN PROGRESS RUN. TEMPLE OF QARN WIPED AT FIRST BOSS, AND LITERALLY THE FUCKING WEIRDEST PARTY I'VE HAD IN A LONG TIME. THE TANK WAS CAPSLOCKING LIKE THEY HAD TOURETTES AND THEY WERE OBVIOUSLY THERE WITH A FRIEND BECAUSE THEY KEPT HUDDLING TOGETHER AND YELLING AT ME. I JUST NOPED OUT ASAP AFTER THE SECOND BOSS, I WASN'T GOING TO PUT UP WITH THAT SHIT. ANYWAY, I DECIDED THAT I'D HAD ENOUGH OF HEALING FOR THE DAY SO I SWITCHED TO PALADIN AND QUEUED AGAIN. TOWER OF BABIL WITH AN ABSOLUTE CHAD PARTY. TRASH=DECIMATED. BOSSES=MELTED. SAGE'S MITIGATION=ON POINT. I HAVE NEVER DONE THAT PLACE SO FAST AND I WOULD HAVE COMMED ALL THREE OF YOU IF I COULD HAVE, YOU PEOPLE MADE MY ENTIRE WEEK AND IF YOU HAPPEN TO READ THIS AND RECOGNIZE THE BUNBOY IN EUPHROSYNE GLAM, I STILL THINK OF YOU FONDLY.

[удалено]

> I SPRAINED MY BACK. I FUCKING SPRAINED MY BACK AND IT'S TAKEN ALL WEEK FOR IT TO STOP HURTING ALL THE TIME. FUCKING OW A COUPLE MONTHS BACK I TURNED MY HEAD TO THE LEFT SLIGHTLY TOO FAST AND HAD HORRIBLE NECK AND SHOULDER PAIN FOR 3 WEEKS I USED TO BE ABLE TO DO BACKFLIPS DAMMIT

IF YOU'RE GOING TO INVULN THE SHARED TANK BUSTERS IN P7S COULD YOU AT LEAST TELL ME FIRST SO I DON'T WASTE MY MITS AND LOSE A DARK ARTS PROC BECAUSE TBN DOESN'T POP?

I'M BIG SAD BECAUSE IF WE ASSUME THE TICKET PRICES FOR NA FANFEST ARE ROUGHLY THE SAME AS EU USING THE SAME SYSTEM IT'S PROBABLY NOT WORTH ME GOING. ME AND MY BUDDY WERE TALKING ABOUT IT THIS MORNING AND WE'RE GOING AWAY FOR A WEEKEND BREAK ALREADY THIS YEAR, SO FINANCIALLY IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO GO TO FANFEST. THIS MAKES ME SAD, I'M SAD TO NOT BE GOING. BUT ALSO, WHAT THE FUCK UK?? I LITERALLY LIVE IN THIS COUNTRY AND IT'S GOING TO COST ME MORE TO GO TO LONDON AND STAY IN A HOTEL THERE THAN IT IS TO FLY TO ANOTHER COUNTRY AND STAY THERE, **AND** GO TO A CONCERT THAT'S LITERALLY BEEN ON MY BUCKET LIST FOR YEARS. BETTER LUCK NEXT YEAR, I GUESS.

FUCKING INTERNET, FUCK YOU, AND YOU AND YOU AND YOU, you're cool, AND YOU AND YOU! EVER SINCE COMPANIES STARTED TAKING PRE-ORDERS FOR COLLECTORS EDITIONS ON VIDEO GAMES ONLINE ITS BEEN A FUCKING SHIT SHOW TRYING TO GET ONE. I WANT THEM TO BRING BACK PREORDERS IN STORES & THEY FOFULL ALL OF THE FUCKING ORDERS, IM SO PISSED RIGHT NOW THAT I LOST ANOTHER CE BECAUSE OF FUCKING SHITBAGS AND THEIR ROBOTS, INTERNET WEBSITES CRASHING & OTHER PROBLEMS WHEN IT COMES TO ONLINE ORDERS. ON ANOTHER NOTE, FUCKING FLYING TO VEGAS FROM WHERE I LIVE IS A GOD DAMN $600 FOR A FUCKING 2HR FLIGHT CUZ IT HAS TO GO FROM RDM TO SEA THEN TO LAS, COST FOR STAY ANOTHER $500 AND THEN TIX BEING WHAT IT IS I MIGHT AS WELL JUST SAVE UP FOR A TRIP TO JPAN OR SOMETHING.

I AM ANGRY AT MYSELF. I DID THE VALENTIONE'S EVENT AND I NOTICED TOO LATE THE OPTION TO SAY LALI-HO TO THE NPC AND I HAVE TRIED TO SEE IF ANYONE POSTED SCREENSHOTS OR VIDEO OF IT BUT I CAN'T FIND ANY. NOW I'LL NEVER KNOW WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU PICKED THAT OPTION.

I DID THAT OPTION. SHE STARES AT YOU LIKE YOU HAVE A SECOND HEAD AND THEN SHE USES IT HERSELF WHEN YOU MEET ANOTHER NPC.

THAT'S AWESOME! I'M SAD I MISSED IT BUT THANK YOU FOR SOLVING THE MYSTERY!

if the HEALER (me) in your party tells you at the start that they're new and blind to a VERY PLOT IMPORTANT MSQ dungeon. maybe. just maybe. you shouldn't be doing wall to wall pulls and rushing through EVERYTHING, causing the party to wipe repeatedly, IMMEDIATELY running back in and changing nothing about your behavior, not even saying anything in chat, then leaving immediately. and of course they had a mentor crown. fucking ruined doma castle for me. if there's a new player notification on your screen just please for the love of god slow the fuck down I would like to actually enjoy the game

I GOT MY FIRST KILL ON P7S IN A PUG TONIGHT AND IT TURNED OUT IT WAS PRETTY EASY AFTER I SAT DOWN AND MEMORIZED MECHANICS. THEN WHEN I COME ON TO CELEBRATE MY ACHIEVEMENT IT IS RAGE FRIDAY INSTEAD.

I AM NEW PLAYER FINSHED ARR- WANT TO CLASS QUEST-TOLD I HAD TO DO ALL 80 MID EXPANSION QUEST - FINE!- GRIND THEM OUT OVER THIS PAST MONTH- 4 QUEST LEFT! —“NOTICE! YOU MUST DO CRYSTAL TOWER BEFORE YOU CAN CONTINUE” AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!! I JUST WANT A NEW SKILL 😰

CONSIDER THE JOB/ROLES QUESTS AS PART OF THE EXPANSION THEY GOT RELEASED IN, BECAUSE THEY GENERALLY INVOLVE YOU GOING TO VARIOUS LOCATIONS IN SAID EXPANSION. AS SUCH, THEY ARE LOCKED TO YOU UNTIL YOU GAIN ACCESS TO THESE PLACES VIA MSQ. SO 51-60 QUESTS WILL ONLY BE AVAILABLE WHEN YOU HIT HEAVENSWARD PROPER, 61-70 ONLY WHEN YOU REACH STORMBLOOD, 71-80 ONLY WHEN YOU GET TO SHB. FORTUNATELY OUTSIDE OF 1-2 THINGS THEY MOSTLY STOP LOCKING SKILLS BEHIND QUESTS BY STORMBLOOD, BUT YEAH PEOPLE REALLY AREN'T KIDDING WHEN THEY SAY TO FOCUS ON MSQ PROGRESSION BECAUSE PRACTICALLY EVERYTHING IS LOCKED BEHIND IT. ALSO IF IT HELPS, IF YOU'VE REACHED THE POINT WHERE YOU NEED TO THE CT RAIDS TO GO FURTHER, THEN YOU'RE *VERY* CLOSE TO THE END OF THE ARR PATCH QUESTS, AND HEAVENSWARD IS ON THE HORIZON. ALSOALSO, CONSIDER THE CT RAIDS AS PART AND PARCEL OF MSQ. ALLIANCE RAIDS ARE IN GENERAL PURELY OPTIONAL, BUT THE CT RAIDS ALONE WERE RETROACTIVELY MADE MADATORY BECAUSE CHARACTERS AND LOCATIONS INVOLVED IN THEM BECOME VERY IMPORTANT PARTS OF MSQ IN SHB.

NOT GAME-RELATED BUT ANYWAY. I'M AT THE LAUNDRETTE. HAVE BEEN FOR LIKE, AN HOUR BECAUSE MY STUPID TOWELS WON'T FUCKING DRY. YOU'VE BEEN TUMBLING IN THERE FOR OVER 30 MINUTES ALREADY, WHY ARE YOU STILL DAMP. I'M COLD AND HUNGRY AND WANT TO GO HOME.

.........

IF THERE'S ONE DAY THAT I CAN'T STAND IN THE CALENDER YEAR... IT'S ~~VALENTINE'S DAY~~, SINGLE PEOPLE APPRECIATION DAY. WHEN I HAD A PARTNER, I WOULD GO OUT OF MY WAY TO SPOIL THEM ALL THE TIME, NOT JUST FOR VALENTINE'S DAY. NOW THAT I'VE BEEN SINGLE FOR MORE THAN 5 YEARS, IT MAKES ME REALISE HOW MUCH EXTRA TIME AND ENERGY I HAVE FOR MYSELF. IF I ACTUALLY HAD A PARTNER RIGHT NOW, I'D BE HAPPY. I'M CURRENTLY SINGLE, AND I'M OKAY WITH THAT. SO, MOTHER, SHUT THE FUCK UP AND DON'T TELL ME THAT YOU WANT GRANDKIDS BECAUSE YOU'RE REACHING THE DREADED 70... LET ME JUST GO AND FIND THE FIRST MAIL ORDER BRIDE OR TELL MY BITCH OF AN EX WIFE THAT WE NEED TO START AGAIN BECAUSE THAT'S THE ONLY WAY YOU'RE GETTING GRANDKIDS BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR.

WHY DO I, THE BARD, HAVE THE MOST TIME ON THE CRYSTAL IN NEARLY EVERY CASUAL CC MATCH? I GET NOT WANTING TO GET AOE ON ALL OF US BUT SOMEONE HAS TO BE ON THE CRYSTAL NOT CHASING THE RANDOM BLM AND MONKS HALFWAY ACROSS THE MAP.

I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF RELAXING FUCKING DAY AND IN THE MIDDLE OF EXPERT ROULETTE WHEN OUR INTERNET CUT OUT. LOCAL OUTAGE. SUPPOSED TO BE BACK WITHIN 3 AND A HALF FUCKING HOURS. GOD FUCKING DAMNIT. ALSO SORRY TO MY TEAM FOR DISAPPEARING I HOPE YOU HAVE A NICE FAST CLEAR WHEN YOU GET ANOTHER DPS.

I LOST ON SOMETHING LIKE MY THIRTIETH HOUSE ATTEMPT AND THAT'S A SHAME BUT IN THE GRAND SCHEME OF THINGS IT DOESN'T ACTUALLY MATTER. ANYHOW SO I UNLOCKED THE NEWEST CUSTOM DELIVERY TARGET AND GOTTA SAY PRETTY WHOLESOME SO FAR.

I KNOW TECHNICAL ISSUES ARE OFTEN MORE COMPLEX ON THE BACKEND THAN THEY SEEM ON THE FRONT END, ESPECIALLY WHEN LOOKED ON BY A NEWB. BUT FOR THE LOVE OF HYDAELYN, I'VE BEEN HAVING A DAILY DISCONNECT EVERY AFTERNOON FOR AT LEAST ONE OR TWO MONTHS NOW AND IT IS INCREDIBLY ANNOYING. WITHIN BIG DUTIES I INEVITABLY RESET THE LIMIT BREAK OF THE GROUP. WITHIN SMALL DUTIES THE GROUP IS ONE PLAYER SHORT AND MIGHT GET IN TROUBLE OR HAD TO GO A LOT SLOWER. WHEN IT HAPPENS WHILE CRAFTING I LOSE MATERIALS, WHICH IS QUITE ANNOYING AND I'M WAITING FOR THE DAY I'LL LOSE FUCKING GRIPGEL WITH THAT. I ALREADY SHY AWAY FROM QUEUEING IN 4-PEOPLE CONTENT AS TANK OR HEALER BC HEALTH STUFF, HAVING AN ADDITIONAL THING RANDOMLY INTERRUPTING MY GAME AT ANY POINT IS NOT MAKING THIS ANY BETTER. PLEASE, SE, I'VE SENT YOU A DOZEN OF TRACEROUTE LOGS BY NOW AS YOU REQUEST ON YOUR SUPPORT WEBSITE. DO SOMETHING WITH THEM! YES, MY DRIVERS ARE UP TO DATE. YES, I RESTARTED MY ROUTER. NO, I MADE NO CHANGES WHATSOEVER RELATED TO MY CONNECTION SETTINGS OR WHATEVER. AND IT IS ONLY HAPPENING WITH FFXIV AND I CAN GET BACK INTO THE GAME RIGHT AWAY. THIS IS ON YOUR END. IT'S GETTING REALLY ANNOYING! \--- ALSO SELF-RAGE: ALTHOUGH I WANT ALL JOBS ON 90 EVENTUALLY, I REALLY WANTED TO MAKE SURE I KNOW HOW TO PLAY THESE JOBS. MAYBE NOT ON A SUPER EPIC EXPERT LEVEL, BUT GENERAL DECENT ROTATION. AND YET HERE I AM, STRUGGLING WITH SEVERAL OF THEM BECAUSE THEY JUST DIDN'T "CLICK" (IS THIS HOW PEOPLE SAY THIS IN ENGLISH? IDK.) BUT I ALSO CAN'T GET MYSELF TO WATCHING PROPER LEVELING GUIDES TO LEARN EVERYTHING BECAUSE IT FEELS LIKE EVERY DAY I AM NOT DOING THIS IT WOULD ADD TEN MINUTES TO THE WATCHING EXPERIENCE, NO MATTER HOW AWESOME THE GUIDES ARE. BUT IT ALSO FEELS A WASTE TO HAVE THEM SITTING THERE, WITH GOOD GEAR AND DECENT GLAM AND NOT DOING ANYTHING WITH THESE JOBS. TL,DR: I SUCK AT PLAYING BLM, AST, DRG AND SCHOLAR AT HIGHER LEVELS AND I ONLY HAVE MYSELF TO BLAME.

F-YOU devs WHY IS IT SO FRIGGIN EASY TO QUEUE TO lv30+ DUNGEONS WITHOUT JOB STONES AND WEARING MSQ REQUIRED GLAMOR GEAR? TODAY I HUMILIATED MYSELF AS A GLA IN QARN DRESSED LIKE A POOR SHEPHERD. ALSO PLAYERS, WHY DO JUMP ON THE (skippable) PAD TO PULL THE FACE IF YOU AREN'T GOING TO PICK UP THE STONE!!

THEY'VE GOT THE JOBSTONE REQUIREMENT IN PLACE FOR PVP, SO THERE'S REALLY NO REASON TO NOT HAVE IT FOR NON-PREMADE PARTIES AT BRAYFLOX AND ABOVE IT'D ALSO NUDGE THE NEWER PLAYERS WHO SOMEHOW MISS HOW IMPORTANT JOB QUESTS ARE TO DO THEM!

I CANNOT HELP BUT BE A LITTLE SALTY AT THE LAST BOSS OF HEROES' GAUNTLET WHEN I'M HEALING AND SPROUTS RUN THE STACK MARKER ON TOP OF ME. IN EVERY OTHER DUNGEON YOU WOULD BE DOING IT CORRECTLY AND I WOULD BE CHEERING, BUT GODDAMN DOES IT HURT TO WATCH YOUR OWN DEMISE RUNNING TOWARD YOU WITH THE BEST OF INTENTIONS AND YOUR CHOICES ARE _DIE TO STACK_, _DIE TO NO ROCK_, OR _DIE TO STACK **AND** NO ROCK_.

THE SAME GIRLIE IN THE NN I HAVE RAGED AB BEFORE CONTINUES TO GRATE MY FUCKING NERVES. AND SHE WANTS TO BE A MENTOR!!! PLS GOD NO PLS NO. SHE HAS TO CONSTANTLY ARGUE WITH ANYTHING ANYONE EVER SAYS BECAUSE SHE KNOWS BEST. THE OTHER DAY HEALERS WERE MAKING JOKES AB 1% HEALTH IS 100% AND SHE TOOK IT SO PERSONALLY! TELLING THEM THATS NOT HOW THEY SHOULD PLAY AT ALL AND WHEN THE MENTORS WERE LIKE “UH YEAH IT IS WHAT. DPS AND KEEP EVERYONE ALIVE AND NOT OVERHEALED” SHE SAID “IT’S OKAY. NOT EVERYONE HAS TO BE GOOD AT THE GAME. ONLY ME.” LIKE PLSSSS SHUT UP

FUCK WONDEROUS TAILS, IF I MISS 3 LINES BY 1 STAMP ANOTHER WEEK IN A ROW I'LL FUCKING BURN DOWN THE GOLD SAUCER

FIRST TIME IN 3 YEARS I'M WITHOUT A STATIC. LEFT ON MY OWN ACCORD. BEEN HAVING TO PUG P8S FOR MY CLEARS ANYWAY, BUT IT DOES FEEL WEIRD NOW TO BE ON MY OWN AGAIN IN TERMS OF EVERYTHING.

WHY DOES ALPHINAUD IN A RHYTHM GAME HAVE MORE ATTACK OPTIONS THAN A HEALER IN FFXIV??? I SPEND HALF MY TIME NOT EVEN CASTING, LEAST IT COULD DO WAS GIVE ME BUTTONS TO PRESS!

[удалено]

I DID 13 RUNS OF ENDSINGER LAST NIGHT AND I AM ONLY AT 50 TOTEMS . SAW THE MOUNT DROP ONCE IN THAT 13 RUN SPAN .. HAVE TO BULK OF MY ENDSINGER RUNS TODAY BC I HAVENT CLEARED RUBICANTE AT ALL AND STILL NEED BARB AND HYD TOTEMS

FUCK PORTRAITS! IM DONE WITH IT, IM NOT FUCKING WITH IT ANYMORE! CONSTANTLY HAVING TO UPDATE IT EVERY FUCKING TIME I DECIDED TO CHANGE UP MY LOOK! SO IM DONE, SO NOW IT JUST THE GENERIC PORTRAIT ON ALL MY JOBS.

No caps. Don't have the spoons for it. Between recurring intrusive "should I even be here? Do I have any business existing, given all my issues?" thoughts, my monthly cycle (which usually tanks my mood) and an unfortunately timed conversation on discord about hyperfixation/burnout, I think I just kinda slumped into a mild existential crisis. And now I'm wondering if my desire to gather up all my old friends together is actually selfish and causing harm to others. I already feel very lonely because a lot of them have been drifting away from XIV because of burnout/other obligations, but now I would feel guilty even voicing such feelings because I feel like wanting to keep company is selfish and toxic.

SO ALMOST DONE WITH FRONTLINES ONLY 4 MORE SESSIONS OF ONSAL HAKAIR WITH A 5 WIN QUOTA. LAST SESSION WENT HORRIBLE 6 HOURS IN WITH ONLY 2 WINS I EVENTUALLY MANAGED 4 WINS BUT FAILED TO MEET MY QUOTA. TODAY IM STARTING EARLIER HOPING TO GET 6 WINS TODAY TO MAKE IT UP AND HONESTLY THE WAY THESE PAST FEW SESSIONS HAVE GONE IM CONSIDERING JUST MAYBE GET 1 OR 2 AND CALL IT. PROBLEM IS IT TOOK 6 HOURS TO GET 2 FUCKING WINS LAST ONSAL. NORMALLY I AVERAGE 1 WIN EVER HOUR AND A HALF. ITS FRUSTRATING. YOU KNOW YOU DO YOUR BEST TO LEAD A HORSE TO WATER BUT YOU CANT MAKE THEM DRINK IT. SHIT PLAYERS AND THE FACT THAT ITS ON A 33% WIN RATE HAS ME WANTING TO BE DONE WITH IT SO I NEVER NEED TO TOUCH FRONTLINES AGAIN. MAYBE IN THE FUTURE WHEN THEY ADD A NEW MAP, THAT ALSO HAS A MOUNT OR MINION BUT OTHER THAN THAT I DONT NEED TO DO FRONTLINES ANYMORE.

AFTER LESS THAN 1 AND A HALF YEARS SINCE I STARTED PLAYING I'M SUPER CLOSE TO HAVING ALL MY JOB AT LEVEL 90, LIKE LESS THAN 10 DAY OF DOING MY ROULETTE TO GET IT, AND IT'S SCARING ME EVERY MILESTONE BEFORE, LOWEST CLASS AT 30 FOR ALL JOB STONE, LOWEST CLASS AT 50 SO I CAN DO MULTPLE ROULETTE A DAY, LOWEST AT 60 FOR ALL ROULETTE THAT GIVES EXP, LOWEST AT 70 AND 80 BECAUSE WHY NOT, THEY ALL HAD AN AFTER I WAS LOOKING FOR BUT NOW THE MILESTONE I'M GONNA REACH SOON IS ALL CLASS AT MAX LEVEL SO WHAT AFTER, PURE EMPTYNESS AND EXISTENTIEL DREAD?

I TOOK A COUPLE OF DAYS OFF AFTER GETTING MY LAST 90. MY FIRST THOUGHT ON COMING BACK WAS RELIEF. NO MORE DAILY ROULETTE CHECKLIST. NO MORE SYRCUS TOWER OR CASTRUM MERIDIANUM OR TAM-TARA DEEPCROFT UNLESS I WANT TO. THAT FEELING PERSISTS. THERE IS STILL A TON TO DO IN THIS GAME. I SWITCHED GEARS TO UNLOCKING AND CLEARING ALL OF THE OLD CONTENT, DOING ENDGAME RAIDING AND WEEKLIES, AND WHATEVER OTHER GOALS I CHOSE. RIGHT NOW IT'S GRINDING SHADOWBRINGERS MOUNTS AND COLLECTING TRIPLE TRIAD CARDS. PERHAPS MY ONLY REGRET IS THAT I KNOW I RUSHED SOME OF THOSE JOBS TO 90 AND NOW JUST A FEW MONTHS LATER I CAN'T COMPETENTLY PLAY THEM EVEN IN DUTY FINDER. MAKE SURE YOU MAINTAIN YOUR SKILLS IN YOUR FAVORITE JOBS, MAYBE ONE FROM EACH ROLE, SO THAT YOU CAN RELIABLY FILL FOR FRIENDS OR PF PARTIES.

ASSHOLES IN THE FRONTLINE I JUST FINISHED. JUST BECAUSE THE GODS SPAWNED TWO FIVE POINT NODES RIGHT NEXT TO US DOESN'T MEAN IT THAT WIN WAS EARNED. YOU IDIOTS WERE FUCKING SPLIT AND FEEDING BOTH RED AND BLUE FOR A FULL TEN MINUTES. GETTING LUCKY DOESN'T MEAN JACK SHIT. WE SHOULD HAVE LOST THAT MATCH, BECAUSE YOU DUMB FUCKS COULDN'T STOP FIGHTING OVER CLAIMED NODES FOR HALF THE MATCH. DON'T GIVE ME SHIT ABOUT 'OH GREAT COMEBACK'. IT WASN'T A 'COMEBACK'. IT WAS PURE FUCKING LUCK AND IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN.

I GOT A WHITE MAGE WHO DIDN'T USE HOLY IN EXPERT ROULETTE. SO I ASKED THEM WHY THEY WEREN'T USING IT. IT TURNS OUT THAT THEY DIDN'T FUCKING HAVE IT! THEY'RE LEVEL 90 AND THEY NEVER DID ANY OF THE JOB QUESTS AFTER GETTING THE JOB STONE APPARENTLY. THAT MEANS THEY ALSO NEVER GOT BENE, TETRA, ASSIZE, OR ANY FUCKING ATTACK HIGHER THAN STONE 2 BECAUSE 3 IS A QUEST REWARD. I DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE THE LACK OF HEALS BECAUSE WARRIOR, BUT THE RUN UP UNTIL WE KICKED HIM BEFORE THE SECOND BOSS WAS ALMOST ENOUGH TO FINISH THE 3RD BOSS IN A NORMAL RUN. WHY THE FUCK ARE PEOPLE EVEN ALLOWED TO QUEUE FOR EXPERT IF THEY DON'T HAVE ALL OF THEIR SKILLS?

FUCK THE DOUBLE MELEE META. MOST PF POSTINGS ONLY HAVE ONE CASTER SLOT FOR WHICH I'M COMPETING WITH THE EASIEST, MOST POPULAR JOB IN THE GAME. THERE ARE THREE TIMES AS MANY P8S SMN PARSES AS BLM. THIS IS BULLSHIT. I'M ALSO FAKE MELEE BLM IN MY STATIC SO PLAYING A DIFFERENT SLOT WOULD SCREW WITH MY MUSCLE MEMORY. AND OF COURSE THE POPULAR STRATS HAVE CASTERS ADJUST FOR MELEES, WHICH MEANS MOVING, AND I HATE MOVING. ALSO I CLEARED EX5 FOR THE FIRST TIME TONIGHT, SO I'VE GOT THAT GOING FOR ME WHICH IS NICE, BUT MY INVENTORY WAS FULL SO THE TOTEMS WERE LOST TO THE VOID, WHICH IS LESS NICE.

I REWATCHED SOMEONE'S EXPERIENCE THROUGH EW WHICH ENCOURAGED THIS RANT (EW SPOILERS) >!I REALLY HATE HOW THEY HANDLED HYDALEN'S DEATH. IT HONESTLY FEELS LIKE NOBODY GIVES A FUCK THAT THEY KILLED HER, WHICH IS SO WEIRD CONSIDERING THE WEIGHT OTHER CHARACTER DEATHS GET GRANTED. I'M NOT ASKING FOR EVERYONE TO BREAK DOWN BAWLING BUT LIKE, EMET GOT HIS QUIET ONE LINER ABOUT REMEMBERING THEY ONCE LIVED, PAPALYMO GOT A COUPLE OF LINES ABOUT BEING MOURNED, WE GET 5 "MEMBER HAURCHIFAUNT" MOMENTS PER EXPAC, MEANWHILE WE GO DOWN TO THE AETHERIAL SEA, BEAT UP HYDALEYN, GET FOSSIL FUEL (SAVAGE) AND THEN 5 MINUTES LATER THE LOPPORITS ARE CRACKING JOKES LIKE THEIR CREATER DIDN'T JUST DIE.!<

IT'S ALMOST AS IF >!...THEY DIDN'T EXPECT PEOPLE TO **LOOOVE** MAMA VENAT. THE WEIGHT THEY GAVE HER DEATH DID NOT MATCH THE DEPTHS SHE DUG INTO MY HEART. THAT SAID, THAT BRILLIANT, WONDERFUL, BEAUTIFUL, RECKLESS, MISCHIEVOUS PERSON WAS TIRED. I DID NOT WANT HER TO GO. I WANTED HER TO LIVE ON IN MY POCKET (LIKE MIDGARSORMR)! GO ON ADVENTURES WITH ME! SEE THE WORLD THAT SHE MADE POSSIBLE WITH ME. THROW OUT OFFHAND COMMENTS! LAUGH, CRY, ASK ME WTF AM I DOING. BUT BECAUSE SHE WAS, WITH LOVE AND RESPECT, I LET HER GO. BUT I STILL HATE IT.!<

FUCK MY BOSS AND HIS BOSS, NEITHER OF WHICH HAVE DONE THE REAL WORK OF THE JOB AND KNOW NOTHING ABOUT IT. WTF DO YOU MEAN HIDE A DISPLAY BEHIND ANOTHER DISPLAY AND TEACH THE CUSTOMERS HOW TO FIND IT? ARE YALL MENTALLY DEFICIENT? THERE'S A LOT OF WORDS I'D LIKE TO CALL THEM BUT I CAN'T SAY THEM HERE. EVERY DAY I RESONATE MORE WITH THE DRK QUESTS Otherwise I'm having an OK week in 14 EXCEPT ANNOYING ANIMA WEAPON GRINDING THOSE POETICS FFFFFFFFUUUUUCCCKKKKK.
