Super General Discussion 2.0 - Always offering a happy, fun time~!

Super hyped about 2.5

Also, congrats C'rysta. Commemorative doodle in the works. Another big project, so I will see how long it takes me to get it done >_<;

In the famitsu article.. are those armors the drops from World of Darkness? ?_?

@Coris:
Yes, those should be the World of Darkness gear

@Aldora/C'rysta:
Here you go!

Thanks Cloe! I'm loving it! I'll make sure the others will see it too. (^_^ )

I am glad about the looks of the Caster-Sets and the BRD one.. I clearly prefer them over CT2.

On another node:
Tomorrow's the final of my finals (duh) and at this point I am sure to pass, even though it is an oral exam (I'll be holding a presentation) and I am a tad afraid of the following questions...

BUT! After that I'll be free ;<
... and I can enjoy my games without feeling guilty for not studying instead xD
Plus I am planning on pimping my PC (if I pass.)


P.S: I will post some pics of Coris' changes too, but only after the exam.

Thanks! (^_^ ) Both Ten and i had a blast with the Eternal Bonding Ceremony. I made a video of the ceremony as well, but i think i should edit out the teamspeak chat before posting it. hehe. Once this ready, i'll post it here. (^_~ )

Btw, how are things on your end? Did you tie knots with Rubieus as well? (^_^ )

Welp, we have started our quest almost done but have not set a date.

And I was thinking, wouldn't it be fun to invite people from all over?
So! Once we have a date down - we will be announcing that Everyone is invited! (with priority to IRL/FC/SGD friends)
So if you are willing to make a character on Masamune and friend either Rubieus or myself - we can mail invitations and it can be a cross server wedding! We are thinking of fun things to do for the reception and allowing people to invite +1's (So bring a friend)

Might be late Feb - will give more details when we know ^^

Edit: I would make it at a most agreeable time - to help accommodate people

I’d definitely would try to create a character on Masamune for the Ceremony. (^_^ ) Depending on the time of day, i might not be able to attend the actual ceremony (since i’m living in the GMT+1 timezone, meaning that there’s a time difference of around 9 hours hehe (^_^; ) ).

But! I’d at least pop in to congratulate you guys. (^_~ )-b

Congratulations Rogue! \(^_^ )/

I was curious about my own progress. I’ve kept track of them, but never really counted them when i was done with my quest… (^_^; )

Dungeon Count
~~

• Wanderers Palace - 1/7
• Copperbell (Hard) - 1/2
• Hullbreaker Isle - 1/2
• Qarn (Hard) - 1/4

~~

• Aurum Vale - 1/3
• Hauke Manor - 1/5
• Lost City - 1/1
• Sastasha (Hard) - 1/3

~~

• Amdapor Keep - 1/2
• Pharos - 1/5

My “virtual significant other” (lol, this will never get old) on the other hand, had a lot of problems with Copperbell and Haukke Manor. He had run each of them 15+ times. Poor fellow… /comfort.

Definitely wouldn't be pleased with just one! Greedy Lalafell-fingers, ya know? ;0
(Sidenote: The cook of our crew (FC) is a Lalafell too and he wins almost all the rolls on loot... we always said it's because he's a Lalafell.)

Congrats!

Does that mean we get to hit you up for free tech advice? Please tell us how to cut down on lag between Aussieland and North America! *Gives Coris a bunch of pretty (but cheap and fake because the real deal are bloody expensive o.o; ) sunny yellow yarn balls* Pwetty pwease?

Oh, and also, why is it that when the computer misbehaves for me it behaves for everyone else? It'll do something bad every time I want to do something and then the moment I try to show that to someone else to get any help with it it won't do that bad thing in front of them... I'm sure it's trying to make me look insane .. But I'm not! I swear I'm not! >_> <_< >_> <_< Stop looking at me!!! >_<

Thank you!

Well, erm @____@
I actually only finished the exam because I wanted to get the degree. During my 3 (1/2) years of traineeship, I found out for myself that this isn't the job I wanna do. But I wanted to finish it and not stop so close to the end.
That being said: I suck at networking xD (And the mark I finished with wasn't "too good" either, but I passed and for me that's all that counts)

P.S.: But if you need some new PC parts, I am always glad to help! :O Even though atm I not sure myself which CPU to choose >,<

I just upgrade from i5-760 to i7-4790. It's super fast already. (with H87 motherboard and gtx970 graphic card)

I'm using a Phantom II X4 955 since Feb 2011, now* with a HD7870 and yeah...
If I upgrade the CPU I need a new board and cooler too xD Maybe even RAM, but if it works with the one I have, I'll wait until I have more money to get faster one.

Thinking of getting an AMD 8-Core D:
Then again, an i5 might be really sweet too, but they cost almost as much as if I buy an AMD CPU + Board + Cooler together

* actually since 2013. When I build this PC it was a HD6850.

Hey Aldora remember me? ;p

Mwahahahaha!!

Preliminary Patch notes are super exciting.

Interesting to see there is 2 new gear sets: dungeon gear AND World of Darkness. What I used to think was WoD gear looks like it's from the 3 new dungeons instead.

Set 1
http://img.finalfantasyxiv.com/t/a5a...d038115_33.png

Set 2
http://img.finalfantasyxiv.com/t/a5a...d038115_34.png

Edit #1: The more I look at them, the more I feel like this must be the wrong image next to the two sections in the patch notes. The tanking gear, for example, really has that FF3 feel to it, and ought to be in the World of Darkness drops.

In any case, 2 sets makes me happy regardless of where they drop -- I'll end up getting the pieces for my glamours from farming that content either way :P

Someone one Reddit says that they're flipped to what we think should the right one in the EU patch notes, so it's probably a NA patch note issue.

For me it doesn't matter where which set drops... They all look better than CT2 gear xD

Oh and @Nique:
I'd love to attend your wedding too, but just like C'rysta I live in GMT+1 @_@
At least I will try to create a character on (old home sweet home!) Masamune!

If you look carefully at the World of Darkness part from the trailer you'll notice some of the characters wearing sets from the "dungeons" picture (at least the healer/caster ones). So. You know.... they may indeed be switched xD

I really like the gear they are showing in this picture. (^_^ )-b Especially the left half of the picture. I believe the 2 left most ones are most likely for the Monk and/or Ninja and the 2 next to that might be the White Mage and Black Mage. I really want to gather those sets, even if it's just to see what they will look like on my character hehe.

From Left to Right, my impression:
Ninja (Lalafell F)
Bard (Midlander? F)
White mage (Elezen F)
Tank (Miqote M)
Lancer (Highlander M)
Monk (Roe M)
Black mage (Lalafell M)

That said, Monk, Ninja and Bard all seem to recolor of each other, except for the hats.
Lancer and Tank are also recolors, except for the hats.

I think the time of ceremony would be around 10am on a Sunday (AEST - Brisbane)
That is Saturday at 8pm for -5 GMT

Time converter timetable I made for a handful of timezones

I'll finalize it closer to a confirmed date <3

Grats to Rogue and Nique for winning blue bird earrings!

Congrats Nique & Rogue! \(^_^ )/

Poppin in here! I mostly lurk (admittedly I don't think I've posted in this thread for quite some time, possibly as far back as the 1.0 era O.O)

Just wanted to let everyone know who might be interested that this year Love Love Star Maid Cafe 2! is holding a Casting Call Contest with winners having the option to participate as a Maid or Host if they so desire!

Check out the thread here!

I’m extremely tempted to enter the competition… (^_^; ) What to do… What to do...

All righty. Done my bit for the day. Will be at work tomorrow during maintenance which finishes at like 9pm for me, so I opted to log out in Minfillia's chamber for starting of story quest. Much excitement for the story and Keeper of the Lake.

Where are people logging out? Near quest starting points? Near GCs for frontlines? Near Market boards to snaffle some bargains? Or just somewhere out of the way (and not Mor Dhona) so you don't spend 10 minutes waiting for your character to load when logging in?

I will probably, as I often do, find myself logging out in my FC's basement, in a corner dedicated to crafting. We have 5 facilities there (the remaining one is in the bar/restaurant on the 3rd floor), the retainer bell, armoire, GC chest, mender and supplier.

More than likely, I'll be sitting the half-wall --dubbed the Cat-Perch (TM)-- that separates that section from the rest of the basement, most likely snuggling with the absolutely adorable starlight celebration qiqirn doll.

Come to think of it, I should probably make drawing that my next art project.

I just logged myself out in the Rising Stone. Having a drink with Minfilia, in order to prepare ourselves for the quests to come. (^_~ )

I invaded a random house and naked I wait the forced log out, with my static. (All naked XD )

I logged out in the Solar so I can hit the main story as soon as I'm able to tomorrow.
