FFXI

Edit: Attention! The finalfantasy11 comm has been deleted (because hkr continues to be the ass he always was). New comm is here: ffxi_advanced. For more details, see the comments to this post.

Would have been a really good day, if not for the end.

BRD 50 -> 52, yay! Even though we went to GC (hate hate hate that place), and on a holiday no less, we did okay. I had fun doing the crazy BRD 'keep one slept while other being killed' thing, which at least kept the XP coming in at an acceptable level, even when there were four other parties in GC's basement. Luckily eventually they all left (I like to think I drove them out by claiming all the mobs, ha) but we still killed everything as fast as it spawned. Was fun.

I totally love the Minstrel's Ring, and going /RDM worked out just fine. On long pulls my HP did dip a little low, but never into the red. Plus, /RDM gave fast cast, and so quite often songs would complete at the 50% mark. *drool*

Digging after that, which I rushed because I was wrong about the start of a LS event. Did a quarter in Meri Mountains, then finished in the Canyon because I thought I had no time. Got a single gold ore, which is at least something.

Weekly Eco and Escort after (about 900 XP from each). Was exhausted by this point, but idiot me went looking for my CN coffer again anyway. (Last night I made a trip through CN as well, one aggro-filled end to the other.) I cannot put into words how much I hate the AF quests. I'd pay double the price any BLU, COR, or PUP had to pay for their AFs, just not to have to look for damned chests and coffers. I've put an hour and a half of my RL time (not to mention a hell of a lot of stress -- stealthing through aggro is the thing I hate to do most in the whole game) just for the CN coffer. A million or two (or more) gil would be so totally worth paying not to have to deal with that crap. It doesn't help that I can only play during NA primetime. *growl/sigh*

So, while the game was mostly good today, I'm damned pissed tonight. Maybe I'll go with my original plan and say to hell with my AF until I'm 75 (or forever).

Bah.

Edit: But oh my, doesn't this fan art make the night better! (Totally work safe.) Wow, that expression! *pounces him*

Hi there, thistlechaser. I'm not sure if you remember me, but I'm from your FFXI community. That com was deleted tonight without warning, so I'm trying to make a new home for everyone.

It's at ffxi_eljay. I'm inviting everyone whose names I can remember, so I hope to see you there!

[sairobi.livejournal.com]

... Oops, way for me to forget the underscore in your name. ^^;

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Which FFXI comm was deleted? And ffxi_eljay appears not to be a valid name. It's crossed out. :)

[sairobi.livejournal.com]

finalfantasy11. You can see the wankstorm brewing at former mod's hkr's journal.

Heehee, sorry I went and deleted it -- catwho beat me to making a com and hers is prettier anyway. It's at ffxi_advanced. Hope to see ya there for reals this time. ;)

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Oh, good. I read the post where hkr deleted the person's post with no warning, and it just underscored my opinion that he's a royal ass. I'll add the new link to my post.

great thistle, thanks alot! i go on vacation for four days and i come back to no community? lol

wow i just read the post on hkr. just a shame really. sad individual.

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

See what happens when you leave us?! No more vacations for you! :D

wow i just read the post on hkr. just a shame really. sad individual.

Totally. I checked his LJ and he was like "lol i'll be an asshole, it'll be funny! lol!". Idiot.

[pomr.livejournal.com]

Wow.

Just.
Freakin'.
Wow.

hkr is really a cock isn't he? I can't imagine doing anything like. His reason was essentially that he wanted to be a dick. Nice. Well, he succeeded. Naturally nobody should post in his LJ and give him the Drama he craves and needs so badly. :) That's the sad part -- 1300 people are out of years of posts because a nimrod with admin rights wanted attention.

I like how he thinks he's some sort of badass because he can press a delete button. You're hardcore!

One of the comments was that it was "on the internets" or whatever, which always pisses me off since last time I checked you're screwing over *real people* with whatever divalicious thing you just decided to pull. Who am I to judge, though, maybe he had a bad night when he got a tear in his fursuit. ;(!

[pomr.livejournal.com]

I don't even Play FFXI anymore and this pissed me off. :)

And yeah, I /almost/ replied to the dickheads at the end going 'Dude, it's a video game'.

This somehow excuses hkr being a jerkwad...how? The point wasn't the subject matter, the point was he was rude, and intentionally so. There's also no way to get those posts back that I'm aware of.

Pure. Malice.

And a pathetic bid for attention, which is why I DIDN'T post any flames to the guy's LJ. Why give him what he wants?

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

The guy's been an asshole for as long as I've known him. I'll be happy to never have to see posts/comments from him again, I just wish he hadn't had the power to screw people over this way. Hopefully one of the new comms will grow into what the old one was!

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Who am I to judge, though, maybe he had a bad night when he got a tear in his fursuit. ;(!

Or his boyfriend walked out on him mid-yif!

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Exactly. He's such an idiot.
