[livejournal.com profile] tersa and WoW players:

Hey [livejournal.com profile] tersa, recall how when we had lunch together you mentioned FFXI watching for processes running on your machine as a way to find bots? WoW does that, and more. (That scary link comes to us by way of [livejournal.com profile] gbeans's LJ.)

WoW: The biggest (and worst) piece of spyware you'll ever willingly install.

---

In quite an "amusing" twist, stupid FFXI will be down all day on Thursday (a rare day I'll have off from work). Stupid game. I guess I'll be playing WoW for at least part of the day. (I've not played in... three? four? five? days now. :/ At least I'll have a ton of "rested XP", I guess.)

I printed out the info/maps I'll need for the QSC headstone for ZM5, so hopefully I'll get that done tonight. Doesn't look too bad, I suppose. I guess I'll go WHM/BLM for free stealthing, warp, and because I can eat deaths on WHM if necessary. I suppose I could bring my QSC key to try to get a coffer/map, but I died three times the last time I tried that, and the thought of trying it again leaves a very bitter taste in my mouth.

You people are not making me feel better about my upcoming DRG AF coffer hunt. ;p

Compared to some people, apparently, I found QC a piece of cake as far as coffers/quests/sneaking goes. Mainly because there's plenty of places you can get to when sneak starts to wear that you can hide in and recast. And a few places where the coffers pop, they'll be in a blind spot away from the Antica. My advice is to have your warp method macroed. That way if you do get aggro when sneak drops to open the coffer, you can get out quicker.

Ditto on that. Maybe it's a WHM thing XD

I opened 2 coffer in there with minimum resistance. One of which I got aggro from a PLD ant who casted Flash on me... Silly bug, so I Flashed him back and warped out XD

Ha ha ha, you'd laugh at how bad of a WHM I am. (I leveled it to 38 before dropping it a year or so ago.) I got halfway through the headstone thingie before I remembered that I had reraise! Hee. And this is the second time I didn't remember till I was halfway done with something! Kind of made me go 'Hmmm, wonder what other interesting spells I might have...'.

*snickers lots* Hee!

Yeah, I did notice there were nice empty places I could pause to refresh sneak.

Maybe I'll go back and look for the coffer on Friday. Sure would be nice to free up a storage space...

Just be happy you don't have to go into EN (or do you?), that was the worst of the ones I had to do. Most scary ones would be IC or Den of Rancor though... *twitch*

[identity profile] loneguardian.livejournal.com 2005-10-13 08:16 am (UTC)(link)
I did IC, it wasn't that bad if you're careful. There's miners there, so I pretty much put in my search comment I was looking for my AF. Within a half hour of checking the easy spots, I got poked and shown to the coffer. ;3

Oh, that was a good idea!

But personally, I hope to never look for another AF set again. :P

[identity profile] kamalloy.livejournal.com 2005-10-13 10:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, good; I'll keep that in mind when it's my turn to go through there.

(Oh, and to Thistle: for the record, mine will be QSC, Boyahda, and IC. I don't have to do EN unless I want WAR, PLD, or RDM AF someday... which may happen in a couple years. ;p)

. I don't have to do EN unless I want WAR, PLD, or RDM AF someday...

Or DRK! You should drop silly DRK and level DRK! ;)

[identity profile] kamalloy.livejournal.com 2005-10-14 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
Drop the silly DRK? ;p

But, yeah, I do want to try DRK someday. And SAM. And level about six other jobs I've already started on. It's just hard when you get about six hours of play time a week, which is about what I've had lately between RL stuff and maintenance. -_-; Admittedly, a lot of it's been good, fun RL stuff, but I really want to get some more play time in. I'm starting to stress about having RDM ready in time for coffer hunting, and FFXI stress is un-fun.

You don't suck; you just seem to be having a little problem with your typing. ^_~

Same difference. ;)
