Post Your Positivity: Awesome moments were awesome!

I have to say its awesome to see you around forums, since you designed the mini-party of your own characters just like I did. With unique personalities and just a few specialized jobs on each.

Solotanking t5 felt pretty awesome once I got a win with my friends, although extra scary since my controller was dying during twisters. Someone actually thought I was cool (my tank is a lala) then they realized they already know me and were like how could you xD

Soloing the boss in SV HM as a puny paladin in str gear with most of its HP still left. Had a few close calls but I killed it.

Beating t8 with a duty finder group with no deaths in the run :D I was a heal xD

Scholar becoming my main class over others was a cool moment, since I found a healer that suits my style and it comes with a fairy too. Really didn't expect to like it the first time I donned on the job outfit for it.

Grats on the coils! xD I'm a little chicken to drop into T5 - mainly fear of not doing well enough and then people flipping tables at me x_x

Nice to see another doing the same (with creating diff characters)! xD


Ramblings of doom (ignore if boring, rofl):
My characters have their own personalities, but I only really drop in and out of their character around friends/FC that understand whats up - and if I'm just not being serious about something/messing around. We're really not an RP FC (though I have RPed in the past and in other mediums) and I'm moreso out-of-character than in-character... though, even then, I usually drop out of character once I'm in a pugged/DF party - so if in a party that isn't comprised of just my FC, I'm more or less just me.... But I also think some of their traits are just magnified pieces of myself (and some not), anyway.
I think the only thing that remains, character-wise, when I enter a DFed party is the type of greeting.... and that's it. No real particular reason.

Keeping it brief....
Saseal (my main) is like the serious, kind of prudent big brother type - kind of diplomatic and protective, but does have a twinge of impishness when feeling playful around friends/FC.... I tend to enter dungeons with "Heyos", when on him

Taiga being Saseal's little brother, who is very much the skiddish, easily frightened kitten-y kind of Miquo'te.... and stutters. But I get lazy with typing the stuttering that I sorta omit it >_>. I usually do "Hello!" or "Hellos" in DF parties.

Zhyneel is a little bit of an opinionated, tempermental imp with a bit of a height complex. Depending on who the rest of my party is, I'll either say "Please don't step on me!/Nobody step on me!" if it's tall peeps (....born from a time when I entered a hest with three Roe and my wee little Lala) or just a general "hello" if I'm feeling uncreative...

Fenrir is a bit of the happy-go-lucky, friendly 'fella' who tries hard (maybe too hard, but I think that's more my own personal flaw) to do what he can. I usually enter with "Hello, hello!", when on him (much like one of the male hyur retainer greeting types)

/endramble rofl x_x

So this one time in Garuda EX, we kept wiping. This, of course, led to flaired tempers, then silence in waiting out a timer (no one wanted to abandon at 40+/- mins on the clock, I wanted to keep trying and two didn't want the leave penalty). So there we are, sitting in silence... when my co-healer, a SCH I believe (my memory is not the best) sort of starts a conversation. A silent convo. All emots. So we just 'spoke' in emots. It was pretty awesome.

It turned a "Well. This is a bad night -___-" to "Okay, it was an annoying hiccup in the night, but it's not so bad, sitting here now ^^".
So much better mood from then on.

Thank you, mister scholar sir!

Sometimes, it's even the little things...



(Garuda must have been sitting there, watching our group like, "wtf?")

Had a Peru with some newbies doing Garuda HM, I was running BLM, had already done SCH and PLD on it, figured DPS would be an easy quick kill. My mistake. 5 wipes, but each time we got closer to the end. I was explaining tactics and kept encouraging, and eventually downed the duty. Everyone broke into the Manderville, and I got commendations galore. Was frustrating but fun. I had been drinking a bit that night though, so was in good spirits.

Getting my Ramuh EX clear.

I joined a progression/clear party after banging my head against this for a few weeks. I was afraid this would turn into a case of "oh, we didn't clear immediately. I have better things to do *leave*". I knew we weren't going to clear it the first or even the fourth time. I was ready to devote as much time as it took, but prepared for the inevitable disband after one or two tries. We wiped once...and no one left. We wiped again...and no one left!! We wiped a third time...and still no one left!!! We wiped a fourth time (this time finally making it past the add phase)...and then we had to reset because someone forgot to repair their gear. That caused some people to leave (although whether their excuses were real or made up, we'll never know). We recruit a bit more and go in. We wipe again...and no one left!! You can see where this is going. Around round 6 or so we finally cleared it. Commendations and friend requests went all around.

My Ramuh EX clear was incredible. It was about a week before the patch dropped, my friend and I had been trying for ages. We beat him as everyone started dying. I was terrored as a tank, the other tank had to Holmgang, and Ramuh died to a last second Flare from my friend. We erupted into cheers. I hadn't nerdgasm'd like that in forever.

Another was doing a Trial Roulette on Warrior, we got Chimera, my whole party died (there were about 2-3 new people. And I soloed Chimera from 10%~15% to death. They were all like. "God damn you're a beast." Felt good, was the first time I got 7 commends at once as well.

After running SV and Tam-Tara HM for the last couple of weeks I got my Robe of Divine Harvest ^.^ Also this morning I ended up with an amazing team for Sastasha HM ( I went SCH). The damage was really good and the tank was very polite and asked if we wanted to speedrun at the beginning of the dungeon ( to which everyone said yes, however I was presuming a little bit of chaos XD) and whether we wanted to try a big pull just before the last room (I said we could try although I thought we'd wipe). We (with a few close calls) didn't have a single death throughout the dungeon AND we succesfully did one big pull in the last room (my first time seeing that) =D That was one of the smoothest runs I've had in Sastasha HM. Usually it's hectic to speedrun, but today it was quite calm mostly =D

About half a dozen or so of our FC members working our tails off to save up for a Large House in Mist. Felt very satisfying when we reached our goal.

The best moment in my gaming experience was.

Looking at how much my raid has grow for the past 4 months as a leader it means a lot to me, I wish I was a better leader and I wish my raid will forgive my shortsighted decision I make

I'm enjoying the new buffs of the DRG so much that sometimes I even forget to go watch the negative posts in forum and some replies.
I even decided to not continue my ninja's nexus because Sasuke's blades look ugly... So I win both things! Gearing up now my lolDRG (Love the 120 chest gear of DRG and MNK) and maintaining the cool nexus lightsabers!

I'm also happy that my server seems to be one of the rares that doesn't sell certain cash shop stuffs in Party Finder.

Recently nooby chocobo raised to 17 and it was another happy moment of this week... And now I have a funny theory about RNGesus and the golden-white-silver-black dyes of the quick explorations that I'll post later.
