Give a taru a leg up!!

[Godofgods]

Theirs a lot of taru npcs that SE has made behind a counter that they cant see over! Such as Taten-Bilten the alzabi clothcraft merchent.

Have a heart, give the taru a stool to stnad on or something! Let them see over the counters. Theirs a whole big world out their!

Taru npc's should all float. We are the ultimate magical beings.

[Kingofgeeks]

LOL i fully support this. its actually really sad to see a taru npc that can't look over the counter. I mean, we sit on tables during cut scenes, NPCs should be treated with the same respect :p

[Bubeeky]

all tarus should float miimii! not just the npcs.....I work hard to make mahself noticed with the sam buttflag....I wanna float too!

[Shadotter]

I agree with this wholeheartedly, and while we're at it, how about fixing those Taru traps, those stairs and pits and other such stuff that traps a Taru PC but other races can step over just fine.

[Fondle]

Seriously. I'm not saying they should be wheelchair accessible or whatever, but those stairs are racist.

[Godofgods]

where waiting SE......

This is not going away...

[Godofgods]

i dont see anything about helping the tarus in mondays update notes!!!
whats going on?????

dont tell me SE has become a bunch of racist bastard sword

[Bubeeky]

nono, not racist....sizist! all those counters and stairs are built for tall people! SE just hasn't realized that Tarus are regular sized and the other races are just hideously tall :)

[Godofgods]

/em turns on his frosty the snowman music

bumpedy, bump bump... bumpedy, bump bump, .. look at that taru go!!!!!

[Godofgods]

i still dont see anything about this in the updates... you cant tell me its to hard to program this, theirfor im starting to think SE realy is racist.. or sizest..

[Teraniku]

Yeah my biggest Peeve is the Taru who hands out Mercenary missions in Whitegate. Poor guy can't see over the counter while some Taru vendors have stools to stand on.

[Godofgods]

Yea.. youd think as money greedy as WG is, theyd have enough to buy a taru a stool!!!

[Godofgods]

were waiting dev team.....

[Godofgods]

..........

[Tsukino_Kaji]

They're to short on help to do anything for taru.

[Kikkyo]

Yeah my biggest Peeve is the Taru who hands out Mercenary missions in Whitegate. Poor guy can't see over the counter while some Taru vendors have stools to stand on.

Yeah, sup with that? Are they trying to say that some tarus are more privileged than others? DISCRIMINATION! Those tarus without stools work just as hard as the ones with and still don't get to see ;-;

[Laraul]

Hey what's with you Taru's always so cheerful. You taru never stop smiling! Creeps me out. Wipe that grin off your face if you want people to think your unhappy about things.

[Geebee]

yeah ive never understoood this either, when you go anywhere in windy all the Tarus have ramps, stools or even platforms to stand on when you need to find them but never anywhere else, I think this is discrimination and needs sorting out SE shame on you all

Either that or make all races crawl when in windy to make up for this travesty :P

[Teraniku]

Yeah, sup with that? Are they trying to say that some tarus are more privileged than others? DISCRIMINATION! Those tarus without stools work just as hard as the ones with and still don't get to see ;-;

Well look at it this way, we're talking about the nation who doesn't have a Taru Serpent General either.

[Godofgods]

Well look at it this way, we're talking about the nation who doesn't have a Taru Serpent General either.

Their ignoring this thread.. the wont give tarus stools to stand on... no serpent general taru.. How can you come to any other conclusion then racisem from SE? What did the tarus ever do to you!!!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!

[Ziyyigo-Tipyigo]

The Chocobo Circuit (among others) knows to put tarutaru on counters, not behind them. And let's not forget the handi-capable ramps they have at counters in places like Heavens Tower for tarutaru players to deal with NPCs face-to-face.

[Godofgods]

i sure hope todays maintence is including this!!!!!!!

[Bubeeky]

it's not just in towns that this game is sizist against tarus....have u ever been to Castle O where it says u cannot reach the lever?! or running through a random outside zone and u get lost because the grass is taller than u and u can't see over it...damn saruta grasses, confusing us short tarus that haven't been given the power to float yet....

[Godofgods]

well.. they didnt mention this in todays update notes.
Just another blow to tarus everywhere from SE. /cry

[Godofgods]

we need a taru revolution!

[Inafking]

The tarus should be Moogles, Galka should be Bangaa and the Mithra should be Viera fo fit in with FFT/12.

[Godofgods]

..........

[Jeez]

I am in full support of the Stools for Underprivileged Tarus Movement.

[Bubeeky]

how do u feel about being in support of the floating power for underprivileged tarus movement?

THIS (http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d186/NecroticGod/FFXI/Player%20Submitted/Taru_Dagmar.png) is goign to be SE's future. With SE taking the place of Dagmar...


Their coming to get ya....

[Godofgods]

still waiting...

[axlzero]

i hope they listen to you guys but i think they are getting a big kick out of this thread. puts a smile on my face when i play as taru i act cute and people always like a cute taru and girl players flock to you i think there is something about being the little guy in the crew that people like

[axlzero]

what if you hack the servers and all tarutaru are allowed to attack other player then you massed up and start slaughering all players npcs and when they show up GMs a wee little army of angry short people holding SE hostage that would be funny as hell and fun

[Godofgods]

stop ignoring this dev team! What did the tarus ever do to you!?

[Godofgods]

wake up devs!!!

[Godofgods]

Come on! Their is no good reason why their not helping the tarus out! No excuse!

[Godofgods]

were still waiting... ><

You know they fixed the weighted door thing, right?

[Godofgods]

still waiting...

[Teraniku]

Poor Lageegee still doesn't have a stool to stand on. I bet he gets laughed at by the other Assault mission givers.

[Godofgods]

Welcome back from your holiday break dev team! I certinly hoped you enjoyed it!!! I happen to know a few tarus around the world that couldnt enjoy it at all because they couldnt even see!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ><

[Godofgods]

when i get back, i better see this is the update notes!!!!!!

[Godofgods]

i'm back!!! And i still dont see this update yet!!!!!!!

Not only that, but you redo/add an entire New Nyzul yet giving the assult taru a stool to stand on is just to much!?!?!?!? ><

[Godofgods]

/sigh

...
...
...

Another update come and gone. Another update of not helping the tarus.
You should relay be ashamed...

[Godofgods]

CAMATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm disappointed in you man. Claiming to be a taru, i expected something better from you! Stick up for your ppl will ya?!
Its been almost a year now since this thread opened, and not a single word from anyone their.

[Teraniku]

Lageegee is the most glaringly obvious (Taru Assault giver in Aht Urghan Whitegate) of the Taru not getting their due. Heck they don't even have a Serpent General so go figure. This is like Bastok, just replace Galka with Tarutaru.

[Gerobiro]

With the taru being so superior, the other races should kneel down so we can stand on their backs for a boost.

That, or just being able to levitate. The taru are the "mage race", so it would be in character to be able to magically float.

Maybe the taru have the gift of x-ray vision that lets them see through walls, so while not being any taller than the counter isn't really an obstacle, since taru can see through it?

[Psxpert2011]

I want to support this thread. Give the Taru what they deserve SE man! They had Lungo-Nungo(or w/e his name was) take Vana diel!! He was given the title "War Lord"! A Beast Master from Windy!!! Taru-tarus kick ass, give them the respect they deserve!

My little Taru mule "Eriqqa", I love her to death man! She can tolerate it but it bothers her seeing her Taru bros and sisters being neglected!, It breaks my Elvaan heart ~___~;

She looks up to "Lungo-Nungo" and he's her hero but she's not a bst(yet) tho she started her adventure2 years after I did. She's now rank 5, a lv.40smn, 32rdm, 31blm, 32nin, 31blu, 29whm and a lv.17drk.

A small stool for a poor Taru is a gesture which speaks louder than words can go the distance and bring peace to the nations for a better future. Donate a stool NOW!

[Teraniku]

We would also like a Tarutaru Serpent General, and Lageegee still needs a stool to stand on so he can see who he is giving assault missions to.

[Godofgods]

wow...

One year (and two days) ago, this thread was opened on behalf of the tarus.
One year... and a single ounce of help from the devs...
One year and not a single responce...
One more year passed and the devs still show their prejudice against tarus...
One more year... i wonder what they'll think then... :(

[Teraniku]

Poor Lageegee.... Still neglected by the Dev team... He should sue the Aht Urghan public works system for Tarutaru Discrimination. He'd have a case too if you think about it.

Point 1: No Tarutaru Serpent General, which shows that the empire doesn't take it's Tarutaru citizens seriously....
Point 2: Lageegee is not offered a stool to make his work environment as pleasant as those of his other Assault mission givers...

[Eric]

Is this a giant troll thread, or have you guys seriously been complaining about this for an entire year?

[Godofgods]

Is this a giant troll thread, or have you guys seriously been complaining about this for an entire year?

I find that highly insulting to tarus!

[Godofgods]

and yes.. I'm serious'

[Teraniku]

and yes.. I'm serious'

I'm serious as well. While Bastok shows Galka Discrimination, The Empire is more subtle with it's Tarutaru discrimination.

[Teraniku]

Just as a side note: When Aht Urghan first came out, the reason there wasn't a Tarutaru Serpent General was that said General wouldn't survive long enough in Beseiged at the lvl 75 cap. Now that the cap is 99, there's no excuse not to have a Tarutaru Serpent General. Make him a Special Hero NM pop for the empire, like the Invaders get with their Monsters.

[Retsujo]

Poor Lageegee.... Still neglected by the Dev team... He should sue the Aht Urghan public works system for Tarutaru Discrimination. He'd have a case too if you think about it.

Lageegee is a SHE! :(

[Teraniku]

Lageegee is a SHE! :(

lol you can't tell for the most part because she's stuck behind that counter. All the more reason to get her a ramp or stool to stand on. lol.

[Retsujo]

lol you can't tell for the most part because she's stuck behind that counter. All the more reason to get her a ramp or stool to stand on. lol.

Female tarutarus have one-word names that usually repeat syllables (Lageegee, Shantotto, etc.), while males have hypenated rhyming names (Ajido-Marujido, Yoran-Oran, etc.)

The more you know! :)

So you can create all this... but you cant give a taru a stool...

Guess their prejudice is confirmed.

[Godofgods]

they have no heart...

[Teraniku]

Maybe we should do an "Occupy Whitegate" Protest to help poor Lagegee's plight.

[Godofgods]

Mr. Akihiko Matsui, i gave you some time to get adjusted before making a post to you. But now the time has come.

Please have the developers/programmers help out these tarus. Iv been trying to get them to listen for over a year now, to no avail. I'm hoping the new director will see the injustice done to these tarus and help them out. Its not much to ask.

They have been revamping content and working on a new expansion. Am i to believe that a stool is beyond their skills?

[Godofgods]

Now then, I'd like you all to tell me what you would like me to focus on. Anything is fine.

However, I would like you to keep in mind and agree to the following:

•Do not attack or flame others, including myself.
•Be specific and concrete. We won't be able to accomplish anything if posts are unclear or full of attacks.
•Instead of saying what you "don’t want," tell me what you "want."
•Tell me what it is that YOU prefer. Not what your friends or linkshell members say, I want to hear from you specifically.

I want stool for all the tarus that can not see over their counters.

[Midorikaze]

I want stool for all the tarus that can not see over their counters.
Yes! As an Elvaan I can hardly see the poor things as it is ;_;

[Godofgods]

Dont make the taru's cry director... :(

[Godofgods]

Dont make the taru's cry director... :(

The taru's are starting to /cry .... :(

[Jeville]

Dude, just stop. Take a gander around Windurst and you'll see all of them are on elevated platforms, complete with little doors exclusively for them. The one example in Al Zahbi (and I can't think of any more) shouldn't be enough to warrant this request so much.

[Rambus]

Yeah my biggest Peeve is the Taru who hands out Mercenary missions in Whitegate. Poor guy can't see over the counter while some Taru vendors have stools to stand on.

that one assault npc is a girl:

[Leonardus]

Keep up the good fight, Godofgods. Perhaps someday...there will be more stools. Someday.

[Godofgods]

So they will do EMERGENCY maintence to nerf choco blinkers, but after a year and a half, they still wont bother with the tarus...

[Demon6324236]

Because~ the tarus don't matter that much? They took 2 years to do something about blinkers and those had a big impact on the game, gonna be waiting a few decades for this 1 I think.

[Godofgods]

So i hear that the FFXIV alpha has humes and mithras, but no tarus...

[Godofgods]

http://static.ffxiah.com/images/ss/mid/4J2jrk8y2s781hvD.jpg

See.. its not that hard.

[Demon6324236]

Oh but it is.

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d186/NecroticGod/FFXI/Taru/Assault_01.jpg


In responce to SE mistreatment of the Tarutaru Lageegee, 2/3 of the Assault personals have gone on strike!! No assault missions will be given untill our demands are met!!!

[Mayoyama]

Hey dude.. in case you missed the post least year from devs.... they will blatently ignore any threads full of necro bumps and blatent spam to keep threads on the hot topic lists.

Being a taru myself, I wholeheartedly sympathise with my NPC bretherin, but I'd rather not see someone with such passion for taru loving get suspended or banned from forums for doing what you are currently doing.

Never give up loving taru.. for they truly are the best race.. EVER! But let this thread go before it becomes your undoing

[Godofgods]

But how could i live with myself if i gave up on the good fight?

[Godofgods]

Ok, i tried to stay away. But then i noticed this thread on ffxiah.com

Seriously?

Yep, we're a vanishingly small portion of the Adoulin population, under "Other". Of course, that also means the ones that ARE are incredible by Tarutaru standards.

We make up in quality and awesome what we lack in quantity and stature. :)

Also, +1 for more Taru-unfriendly spots in civilized areas getting fixes!

[Bunira]

Hahaha, I agwee to dis! I would like to see the Taru's better in town. You can only see like half of their head most of time unless you adjust you camera view.

Taru haters!!



No! I promise it’s not like that! (And I am speaking as a Tarutaru myself!)

Lore-wise there really aren’t that many Tarutarus who adventure out beyond the green and safe Sarutabarta region (though I suppose a Tarutaru at level 1 is not very safe from gigantic crawlers and Yagudos who roam these areas). Of course there are some super-Tarus who possess higher than normal abilities though! I’m sure you can name a handful. However, due to this we’ve placed the Tarutarus who reside in Adoulin into the 5% “Other” group. I assure you though that walking around the town you will still encounter a good deal of Tarutaru NPCs, and even meet some distinguished ones while adventuring.

Then how do you explain this?

http://static.ffxiah.com/images/ss/mid/7AIm37mE1gCD0f59.jpg

Now your drowning taru's?

You have taken the first step in giving a Tarutaru a stool during a CS. We are proud of you!
You have given the tarus of whitegate reason to hope again. Hope that one day they may be able to see the world past the counter in front of them. Please don't let them down!

[Godofgods]

I was going to wait until i was fully able to come back to the game before bringing this back up. Also i have not been able to play the last year+ since the death of my father. But i so today the release saying that this year would be the very last of new content. :(

So please!! let one of your final acts be to show your love to the tarutarus! Give them the stools they so rightfully deserve, and have so rightfully earned!!

Tarutaru are stools.
