Dear S-E: You suck. No Love, Thistle (FFXI and WoW)

[thistlechaser]

So after another 8+ hour downtime in a week, the servers finally came back up. (On time! For once!) But, since S-E fixed the issue as well as they ever do, I had a brand new login/logout issue and now can't get back on!

Typed /logout so I could switch to a mule, screen went black... then nothing. Yay for servers that work!

And of course now I can't get back on. Ha ha ha.

If I can't get back on before finishing this post, to hell with it. I'll play WoW for the rest of the night.

When in a WoW Halloween costume, the icon has a bit of funny text about your outfit. Like when I was twice as big and orange it said something like "You feel very large and... orange.". I have no idea what this one says about the Blizzard people. :P My costume turned me into a female human (so tiny!), and the text up top made me peer and then snicker.

While out leveling, I ran into an Elite! Woo! And yes, no matter my previous conversations and no matter that it was higher level than me, I pounced on it! Thunderstomp! A big, green... eh, electric dinosaur thing! You can't see Pitch (my pet) at all, the dinosaur thing was so big he totally covered the poor puppy.

Oddly, Thunderstomp was a major push-over. He was even easier than other things his level. o.O Didn't get any outstanding drops, just a piece of armor.

Oh, and one last odd thing! They never taught this trick to FFXI mobs (thank god). What the heck is up with mobs that can go invisible, sneak up on you (not show up on mob radar) and attack? Sheesh!

Still can't get back on FFXI, so it's back to WoW for me.

Yeah, same for me. x.x *kicks the game* Only I don't have WoW to go to. *sits and broods*

Oh, and there is a mob that can inv. The NM that drops the YingYang robe spawns and remains inv until it aggros. You can not target it in any manner, and the only way to find it is with Widescan, then spamming spells, or resting where it's near. (You know, amid the other magic aggro mobs..)

Oooh, right, that weapon one. I forgot about that! Alas, the thing that invisible-attacked me was a common mob, so I suspect I'll be dealing with that a lot from now on.

I feel guilty for telling people they should get WoW (and I'd miss you all even more if you spread across various WoW servers), but it's really nice to have a back-up game. And man, I had so much fun tonight! And I made progress! But mostly: It was fun!

I won't get WoW for two reasons. :)

1) Don't like the spy wear.

2) The important reason: I need to get off FFXI more start drawing comics so I can submit to Tokyo Pop and maybe actually do something with myself. If I take another game I won't do that. u.u FFXI has already proven that I get too addicted.

Eeee! Yes, you should draw comics! One about, say, a sexy DRK who gets all the girls at the end of each adventure~?
