Newest interview (abyssea was a mistake?)

[Natasha]

You can't say "i'm not gimp" then proceed to not have a brutal.

Uhh, yes I can and I did. Hate to use an internet meme but wth... You jelly? >.>

[Neisan_Quetz]

I thought we established you were...

Wait for it...

A hypocrite moaning about how stuff should be harder to get but can't walk out of their moghouse and acquire easy items.

[Natasha]

Actually I find you pretty hilarious, and haven't had a good laugh all day.

You're welcome.

[Greatguardian]

No, you're pretty gimp. I'm reeeeeally not jelly of your Mythril Grip +1.

[Natasha]

No, you're pretty gimp. I'm reeeeeally not jelly of your Mythril Grip +1.

Oh no I can tell you are! You even mentioned it specifically! You went out of your way for me? You so spice.

For the record, reason I use that is sheer utter laziness but even had i upgraded it you wouldnt agree with the one i would have picked as I don't cookie cutter build immediately like everone else and try to pick up items that compliment what I use as well as stuff for future builds (like your oh so precious double hit)

[Luvbunny]

And to be clear luvbunny is mostly right, except that its not just gear but the game in general that isnt as fun as it was.

I think you are one of the few people who equate "accomplishment and satisfaction" as something that takes a lot of time to get and have to go through many hoops and challenges. To be clear, those things are still there, they never go away, certain old school things are still very challenging (not to mention extremely grindy even with the new style of play) - but the biggest difference now, everyone who is willing to put some extra time and work for it, can have them and no longer need 17 other people for this.

For example, old school party is still viable - assuming you can find 5 other people who also want the nostalgia factor. Now it is more appealing with ground tome and auto repeat reward. The mobs are still hard to do for 6 people fighting VT-IT but now, you get more reward xpwise. And you don't really have to deal with congested camp anymore. There are still many viable hunting ground in the old school camp in Crawler Nest, Kuftal Tunnel, Boyahda Tree, Gustav Tunnel, Cape Terrigan, Valley of Sorrow, and Sky. Now you can get there super fast due to direct teleport.

There are now more options when it come to gears - old gears are still wanted - and now more attainable than ever. Trying to parade around in PJ with the "super hard to acquire" gears are no longer seen as "accomplishment" and only available for the few since now every single person who buy and play the game, can get it if they work for it. For me that is a big WIN! You work for it, you can have it.

No brutal

Can't kill Orthrus

Mythril+1

Spike Earring


Can't walk to Sagheera or the AH, so you're gimp and lazy, yet say gear is too easy to get, what?

[Greatguardian]

See, ladies and gentlemen. This is what we call a "Defense Mechanism". While thought to deter heckling and bamboozling, this particular defense mechanism generally has the opposite effect - instead inciting the would-be e-bullies as they pursue a better laugh than they've had all week.

The proper course of action, for those in the audience, is not to deny gimpnosity, but to accept it and live with it. "My Dark Knight is really really gimp, I just don't care any more because I have lost interest in the game". Now that is a sane and reasonable response. I have a lot of respect for someone with the testicular fortitude to come out and say something like that.

This, however, does not seem likely to happen in this particular case. On with the heckling!

Eh, i'd just be brewing stuff for gear anyway... which sucks

Actually I call it counter-troll or (troll the troll) because having gear or not having it has nothing to do with concept development. Did the dev team have relic weapons and brutal earrings and such when they made the game? I hope so, or the games mechanics might be screwed cause they know nothing if they dont have those.
