What a long, busy day! zzzz SE "adjusted" Campaign again, and it's closer to being okay. The reward isn't OMG good, but it's high enough to be worth doing -- a fair balance.

And do it I did! 10 hours straight today. zzzzzzzz

Unfortunately I found a bug in it that cost me some XP. If you forget to flag, you can still fight the campaign mobs and be killed... but you lose XP for it (not to mention, don't get your reward). What it should do is automatically flag you if you hit an event mob -- or just not let you do it.

However, on the plus side, I made more than 11K XP and about 6K AN, giving me my third merit and over 10K AN. I spent my merits on another MP boost, so that I could cast reraise while weakened on DRK (that helps so so so much! Lets me get right back into the fight instead of sitting and waiting to unweaken).

I'm still very, very confused on how points are figured. It sure as hell is not the same way Besieged's are. There were times when I did hundreds of HP of damage, took lots of damage, cast spells (including curing people) and got next to zero reward. Other times I ran in, died, reraised at the end, and got lots of points.

I set a new record for fastest death ever. I usually get to at least draw my weapon and take a swing!


This amused me. Wake me up? Death will do that, I suppose?


Old Sandy is so so so so religious, it scares me on a regular basis. Sometimes I wonder if SE is basing this stuff on RL...

So it's wrong to take a life... unless it's someone we don't like! Please please please stop mirroring RL so much!

And the last bit amused me so much. You know an attack is going bad when wolves kill all the people and then start eating your house! (If they kill all the PCs, whatever mobs that are attacking will then attack your building. It looked like the wolves were chewing on the walls!)

With "Besieged" basically happening 24/7, it's so hard to get other things done. :/ I didn't do Hot & Cold today (I think I'll be dropping that off my list of daily work) and I didn't mule of half the stuff I got in chocobo digging. I try to tell myself it's okay not to attend because it IS 24/7 and will be there when I'm done, but that doesn't help much. Don't want to eat! Don't want to sleep! Don't want to go to work! Must save the world!

Where were our epic battles in say!?!? BAH! This means WAR!!

How do you get so many notes? Did you just hang in one zone all day or did you hop around? I don't have the patients to stay in one space and since the campaign map isn't in real time and takes so long to bloody update half the time I went to long finished campaigns ; ;

You can't wait to try it out? Do you mean campaign or do you mean the part about killing people you don't like? @.@

Please don't kill me!

I wonder if they based that whole speech on history, specifically during Elizabeth's reign. That bit from the NPC is so eerily similar to the papal bull excommunicating Elizabeth.

If it would make you feel better, I can't think of any religious leaders in today's world that would condone outright killing. I guess we can call that progress?

Hey, just look at the JP name for the expansion: アルタナの神兵 which turns into something like, "Altana's Holy Soldiers". hehe

Have we met in game? I don't think so. Say hi some time! If I knew who you were I'd threaten you, but since I don't, I won't. :(

Aw who am I kidding?

YER GUNNA DIE SUCKAH!

*laughs* I guess! And it's not the religious leaders that worry me so much... (The NPC who says that is a battlefield... commander? general? Lead NPC thing.)

Why are there no screenshots of that? Because you have no penis! lolgalka! Back into the mines with you! :E

And it varies. When I'm tired, I just camp out at one place (usually Jugner) and wait for the attacks to come to me. When I have energy or am hyper, I watch /cmap and chase them around the world!
