Kweh!

Hi all,

Been a long time since I updated my blog.

Not really been up to much apart from Sky and Dyna.

I finally finished Chains of Promathia.

And now my next task is a new addiction... I can't help but feel really attached to this next project.

I'm raising my very first Chocobo!

After finding out that my Bo was a female, I decided to come up with a name...

So looking through the lists, I came across two names and put them together.

Angel Heart.

She just so cute.

Have a good evening everyone!

I'm off to bed.

Odin Revealed!

Konnichiwa!

Ok, so last night I was doing Einherjar with my group OdinPLZ (Was Execute).

I have not been doing this long, but I got to fight Odin for my first time. (And about time too!)

It was really strange at first, because I entered the Chamber, and it was all dark and nothing but a slightly screeching noise was heard throughout the area. I was shitting myself to be perfectly honest. So the tactics were a bit different from what I was used to... I died about 4 times, which is a lot... (I was rubbish at timing it so I can get back up... This is because Odin kept using moves that would kill me in 1 hit every time I got back up.)

So after we won, we had some good drops... apparently... (I didn't see a V.Fork, so couldn't have been that good.) Anyway, people got some things they really wanted, and spent shit loads of points actually trying to get them.

Ugh... just really want the V.Fork so I can focus on other things... but gonna be a long time before we fight Odin again...)

I hope everyone is well...

Take care and have a great Easter weekend!

Mother Globe Disaster! (My Fault!)

Well, Sky... what can I say?

I got a little bored, and thought I would try to pull Mother Globe... on White Mage?!?!?

Yeah, silly idea... got us all killed...

End!

ACP COMPLETE!

Hooray!

I finally completed A Crystalline Prophecy.

Many thanks to Zareen for hitting me up with an awesome group.
Many thanks to Aengus for being super tank that evening.

It couldn't have gone any smoother.

I won't go into great detail about the fight, but the setup is as follows

COR (Shoot Crystal) COR (Shoot Crystal/Help with Clones) BLU (Deal with Clones) DRK (Stun those spells!) PLD (Duh! Is it not obvious?) WHM (Me... yeah... doing hardly anything but meh!)

Any who... Check me out!

The end of Hades!

Hello all,

Well, I thought it would never reach that time where the worlds finally merge.

We are going to be moving over to the Cerberus server, and there will be plenty of people waiting for us.

We finished the day with a very good Sky run.

We did Seiryu, which went very smoothly. Unfortunatly there was once again no M.Head drop for Kuching (My in-game sister).

Next we did Suzaku, which was a little rough, as Kuching died almost instantly. We got good drops and then did a group photo (Which I was as WHM for, and not DRG... which annoyed me >_>)

Anywho, on a brighter note, I did Dynamis-Jeuno with Intrepid today, and it too was obviously our last run on the server. However, I finally got my DRG hands that I have been waiting for, for like ever! I am now 6/6 on DRG which means, I leave Hades a happy Elvaan. (Cool looking too.)

Anywho, I am off to bed now... Good night to all my Final Fantasy friends!

Nyzul Isle

Hello all!

I've been doing Nyzul Isle for a while on Final Fantasy XI. And up until recently, I've been really fed up with the way people act about it. All they want to do is Take Take Take. When some things are a bit unfair toward you or others, what do you do?

1) Try and make things a bit more fair? Even if you have been doing it one way for so long. What's stopping you from trying a new way?
2) Continue the way it's always been and hope/prey for the best.

Well... I tried option one and this did not work. In a matter of a fact, I was cut short before people could hear my solution. This really ticked me off and made me feel like I was the child in the group. (Now I know there are plenty more things to be concerned about in life than some virtual armor for your online avatar.) But here is the scenario...

There are six of us doing the fights, myself and five others.

Now some of the people can get more than 1 of the armor because they have the necessary jobs leveled to use the gear. However I (at the time) only had the choice of one set of armor (Askar). The Thief/Red Mage only wanted the Mage armor (Goliard) because he didn't need anything else for his Thief. The Warrior/Monk/Ranger could get two out of the three armors. He wanted both. (Denali and Askar). The Samurai wanted all three because she had the necessary jobs for each. (Goliard = Mage, Denali = Damage Dealing, Askar = Heavy Damage Dealing). So she did not really care what dropped because she could "Cast Lots" (An attempt to role a higher number than anyone else in the party/alliance) on everything. The other two were just as bad, with having the necessary jobs to go for all three.

When someone needs something more than the other, perhaps it's best to ask for something in particular. This is my solution. But no... they wanted to make it so you could just go for whatever dropped if you have the appropriate job leveled. Only one other person thought my idea was good enough. I appreciated his support because he was the Thief/Red Mage who wanted just one armor too. So whilst everyone else is able to go for what we wanted too, this made things a bit unfair.

I suggested that if you wanted something more than the other, and it dropped, then you can only go for that. However if something you did not ask for dropped, but you still have the jobs necessary to wear it, you can NOT go for it. The reason I wanted to go for this solution is because, if they want their mage gear quicker, then the people who can only get Askar (me) could have a chance at getting it. Now they understood why I wanted to do this. At least, they thought they did. Not only was this going to help me, but it was going to help the person who was at a disadvantage also. I got called "Greedy" "Selfish" because I was trying to make something I do everyweek actually seem worthwhile. But no, they had to be THE selfish ones to say no, we can get all the armor available, and we don't want to miss out. So when my decision was cast aside I got treated like the "Enemy". I don't want an atmosphere when doing something I enjoyed so I decided to leave, and call them a joke. It wasn't because I didn't get my own way that I left, it was because they didn't take any suggestions, weren't open to any other solutions, or couldn't deal with problems in a well mannered way. And for this, I felt I didn't have any time for someone who doesn't give others a chance.

Another side of the arguement was "We will all get the armor in time". As much as I "thought" this might be true, I did think about what if they get what they want and leave me stranded? When you haven't met someone in real life, that decision becomes a tricky one.

My side of the arguement was, "You're only getting armor on a whim because you can wear, but not necessarily need it". However I needed Askar and I felt I should have a chance at getting it quicker than those who did not need it. Was I wrong to think such a thing? Same with the Thief, he only wanted Goliard because he would use it more, and actually needed it. With others, it was the "Collection" game.

Another thing that happened was, I was replaced with one of the members sons. After asking him if he enjoyed it or not, he turned around and said "Yeah I am actually". This came across as arrogant to me, however he then said "However I don't think I am doing it right, I haven't said "I want" enough times.". This really got to me, because not only were these people nearly/maybe more than twice my age, but they went on to say that stuff about me, to someone it does not concern. This seemed to be childish than I ever may have been in our Nyzul Isle static.

So, to those people who decide to be arrogant bastards, I hope you grow up and realize how childish you have been for a group of "Adults".

I'd like to hear what your thoughts are on this situation?

Kind Regards
Lukaan
