Second, PLUGS! Apparently I’ve inspired / shamed some people I know into creating livejoural blogs and so there’s a whole slew of them. Obviously they’ll never be as witty as me, and who knows if they’ll even update the crazy things after tonight, but so such it goes. Izzybella, aka izzyffxi, spends a lot of her time getting worked up about stuff ( Read more... )

I have now completed the mini-expansion. This blog post is pretty much the entirely of my thoughts on it, as well as some general strategy tips for the fights. Despite the name, I’m not ALL that pissed, but still, it’s annoying.

Contains spoilers about the fights but no screenshots because I was too frustrated to take any because I don’t want to ( Read more... )

I cannot BELIEVE I paid ten bucks for this bullshit! I paid my good money to be forced into farming not one, not two, but SIX stupid-ass items from weak mobs against dozens of competing players. And after that, then what? There’s only like two fights in the entire expansion! People got it done the very first night! So much for two weeks of content.

Hmm. Well.

This one’s a little odd. You see, I camped VE last night again. I was alone, it popped pretty late at night, I killed it with no TH and got not drop. No drop. No pin. So I log out there at the camp site and go to bed. This afternoon, I’m about ready to give it another go when I see my character is naked instead of wearing the dancer AF I ( Read more... )

 After a long night in the metalshop labs I come back to find my linkshell with no more than 15 people at Dynamis - Bastok almost a half hour after the start time and with no officers present organizing anything. So I make the extremely sketchy decision to warp out of Bastok and join Sampi in another attempt to finish ToAU mission 44.

Amazingly, our ( Read more... )

Last night was all ToAU missions.

My sunday started off with a knock on the door and a Sampi waking me up, asking me if I wanted to do ToAU mission 35. I was more interested in sleeping at that point, but having a 6/6 party for this missions is pretty good, so I got up. About an hour of people not knowing where Nashmau was later we did the fight and won it. I had to Benediction ( Read more... )

Dynamis - Xarc was bothersome. I was trying to use the Minstrel's ring and people kept curing me. I made it quite clear I was using it early on but they kept doing it. Once or twice is a joke, haha, but like six or seven times is pretty much spite. So when I d/c'd with about an hour to go I decided, screw it, I'm takin' a nap. Lousy drops on the ( Read more... )

I'm a day behind now so maybe a second entry later tonight.

Sampi, Shp, and BRD quadrod ToAU missions 29 and 31 - the mamool ja wivre rider and then the lamia swarm. The rider went down like a punk, barely bothering to Blazing Angon us a few times before dying a miserable death. The lamia swarm, on the other hand, actually posed smoe challenge. Shp ( Read more... )

Got another merit on BLU. Only one! The hell! It's not even the BLU job's fault. Getting merits is painfully freaking slow because all the camps are always taken 24/7 now. We need a new expansion just for new spots to level. Though who am I kidding; the old will dry up if the new is better and it'll be the same people crammed in there. I'm now 4/5 ( Read more... )
