Fucking pissed (FFXI)

Woke up this morning, tried to log on. Couldn't because a Besieged was going on and the server was too lagged to let me on. One attack ended and I finally got on. Another was getting ready.

I waited TWO HOURS for the next attack to get ready, then when they hit? The game moved me out of the zone. Probably because too many people in the zone.

However: People who had JUST ARRIVED got to stay and fight, but people who had been waiting for hours got moved.

More than two hours waiting for it to happen, then a halfhour standing and staring at the door locking us out.

If you're going to move people out of the zone, be fucking fair about it. I wasted my whole morning on this shit, and got nothing for it.

Tons o' screenshots (FFXI)

I wasn't going to post again today, but then I got to looking at my screenshots and said 'Well, it'll only take a couple minutes to edit these...' and so here I am.

Day ended up better than this morning (would have been hard not to). I didn't have much time, so I went out to learn BLU moves. Got MP Drainkiss off the first leech and Uppercut off the second Goob. Unfortunately even hours hunting walking trees in Jugner didn't give me Pinecone Bomb. :( That's the last pre-40 move I need.

Then we did NPC static which unfortunately was a lot rougher than usual. Usually I'd be able to say "but at least no one died!", but I can't this time. *cough*

Then we had fun! Farming sheep in the ToA area for their hides! Eee! Such cute sheep! Of the many, many great things this expansion pack has brought us, I think sleeping mobs is one of the best. Nothing like seeing a cute little sheepie with 'Zzzz' coming out of its mouth!

Look! Here's a sleepy sheepie now! Unfortunately it just happened to die soon after this screenshot was taken. Natural causes, I'm sure. c.c

How the "naked hume male torso" looks most of the time to me. See? No He-Man plastic chest or removable head, no tanline. Sometimes the lights/shadow do make the line visible, but in-game it looks like a shadow from his chin/jaw.

It's really surprising how some bare chests really change the game. I just love finally seeing chests! "Naked" should mean at least partially that! And naked Thistle can now chase other naked guys~! ("I LIKE GIRLS!" *snickersnort*)

Yay killing NM fishies~ Desant fished up two of these and we killed them both! Tough mob for such a small group, but it was fun!

Last but not least, on Saturday we had an amazing party. In the first 20 minutes or so we had a PL, but she died and we never got another (yay!). Ead wanted to see our PL's death. Click the line for the whole log:


(It's not all that interesting, other than one of the party members laughing at it.)
