It was a blue day (Yay!) FFXI

[thistlechaser]

Nice, relaxing day! Finally slept last night (almost eight hours! Woo! So nice!), and didn't have to do much all day. We did some Bastok mission, which was a really easy fight in IC. We kill these darned mobs before they realize they've been spawned. Connection problems meant we only did the NPC Promy, no XPing, so that meant an evening of free time!

S-E is highly evil. (Yes, I know that's hardly a news flash.) This BLU job is such a timesink, but it feeds that "gotta catch 'em all!" compulsion in me. Part of me says that no sane player would level it, but I just can't stop. I played it for nine or so hours today, and got from level 6 to 10. I can't believe the number of hours I've put into leveling this job from 1 to 10, any other job could have gotten two or three times as far. But learning new moves is so cool! And using them is so fun!

Happily I've gotten all the moves you should get in the 1-10 level range, plus one in the 11-20 range. It's such a fun, powerful job: Even at level 7-8 I was ripping through EM and T+s without a problem! That's just insane. (I didn't try it after 8 because I was trying to learn stuff.)

Screenshot time!

In our NIN/SAM static on Saturday we had a random MNK with the worst text macros. Imagine seeing this a few hundred times in the space of three hours:


And gah, S-E! You can't even pretend that the pay-by-the-hour hotel is anything but that? Even the NPCs are in on the "secret"! (And the line about his mother boggles me...)

Here's Guppy in the goblin hat I made. I love gobbie hats on Taru, it's just so cute!

Volcanos are so hot~ And I love how I can just stand next to the lava. While wearing metal. Ha ha.

And last and probably least, I spent Saturday running around newbie zones looking like a cheap male whore. Or as Klene put it "a cheap french whore".

Eco and Escort will take up playtime tomorrow night, then on Tuesday I want to go to the new areas and do the quest for the teleport ring.

EDIT: Oh! The new Windower is out! I could kiss it! I'm so happy to see my TP again! (I couldn't care less about seeing party members' TP, but I want mine displayed on the screen all the time! It's an important thing to be aware of at all times.)

Oh, the windower is out? Last i checked the site is still down.

I hate to admit it but not playing with the plugins for a few days made me realize how dependent I was on them ._. Perfectly executed MBs because I kne exactly who had TP? Back to back BPs because I can see the timer count down? Measuring distance to heal kiters at the best possible spot? I've been so spoiled ; ;

Yes! It is out now! And unlike the old version we were using, it doesn't lag my whole machine down!

You can see TP in the upper right corner o.O;;; It's the crazy little bar under your HP and your MP, the blue one...

And BLU is so addictive ._. It definitely feeds that Pokemon instinct, but it's powerful enough that you can indulge it with relative ease. Imagine if the job was build like a WHM and BLU and you needed to let mobs beat on your to get the moves x.x; OMG, by 10 I could barely survive EPs with my BLM solo, it sucked... Nevermind letting it live long enough to get TP. I was hoping for a fast fight that I'd survive!

But only when fighting. Going into a fight, I need to decide if I'm going to use SA or not. (When DRK farming, either SA or WS will one-shot most things.) I like seeing my TP at all times, and it's annoying to have to hit my party TP macro to see.

Ha, yes. BLU is so backwards! It's freaky trying to keep them alive. Last night I was going 'Gah! Why won't Cure work on mobs! Don't die, Yag, don't die!"

Oh my goodness... I honestly can't believe they did that O_o;
