Funny you conveniently define irrelevance to the very thing that is pertinent to the argument. Good luck with your all-encompassing, ego-permeating video compendium of FFXIV how-to:Quote:

this thread is new and exciting.

/blowkiss Doc
ninjaedit.gif - We cleared AV a few hours into the patch (world first) and then Chimera a short hour or so after DoW cleared it. We were gonna toss out videos like we normally do but then got fat and lazy and just decided to keep to the shadows for the start and make some quality videos in the weeks after patch.
We probably wont release anything but SR5C from both instances + a cinematic with 95.6% more WUB WUB -
03-15-2012, 02:37 PMBuddhsie
I like how Mog thinks that DoW is on the map.

03-15-2012, 02:55 PMRichard_BGWe've stopped even grabbing the shit tier green chests since they aren't an SR5C condition XD And yeah with the solid 0.000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001% droprate of most Darklight gear they'll be worth a shiny golden penny in the near future.Quote:

i'm really happy for you and imma let you finish but sacred was the first to clear cc and we're greatest linkshell of all time.
i'm not here to promote sacred or where we stand in the rankings because quite frankly i, myself respect the humble more than the grandiose and i hope we can manage to amount to that.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO POST THESE VIDEOS. NO ONE IS FORCING YOU JUST LIKE YOU'RE NOT FORCING US TO WATCH THEM.
i'm asking you and in turn BG to NOT post these videos until AT LEAST 1 week after the content goes live. let people learn for themselves. you are not the greatest and you are not their mother.
there were plenty of strategies before yours but you feel the need to post them first so you can say that you were first and try to amount to something. we posted a picture of our win because yes, we want people to know we're skilled and also it was a great achievement for us as a VERY understaffed linkshell. we did not and we were not going to post our strategy or a video. we are all for helping people but not giving them a roadmap.
keep in mind this is just me bashing doc cause he seems like a pretentious fag and not any of his mates! i'm sure there's a great crew within dow.
i love xoo; even if you were a dude i'd say that i could go gay for you because i love you so much right now-you speak the truth ten fold. -

JP cleared it 1st like always. We were 1st for NA/EU Cutter's cry and possible 5chest Cutter's Cry.

It was an in joke, Richard. What Eji says has merit, and it is the exact same thing I made you guys aware of when Ifrit first came out.
-
03-15-2012, 04:07 PMKaeko
Unless someone can correct me, a JP Selbina LS beat CC first. Pro is an incredibly inaccurate way to judge who beat what first due to slow update process unless you force queue an update. This makes it seem like NAs are achieving things earlier than JP when in reality the JP just never update their status. But if we do go by Pro, a Selbina LS is the only group that beat it 3-09 (PST time).
Also congrats on the 5 chest. -

The only thing that has merit is having the self control not to spoiler things for yourselves. People will spoil anything and everything in life. Movies, Books, TV Shows, Games, Strategies having to do with anything competitive. Get over it and over yourselves. If you don't like it that's fine but it's not your decision to make. Crying and pleading "PLEASE DON't POST VIDEOS NEXT PATCH FOR A WEEK" will not get people to listen to you. -
03-15-2012, 04:13 PMTheFatHousecatWe don't post videos and guides, people QQ, we post videos and guides, people QQ. So basically, we're just going to do what we want and if you don't like it tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo bad.Quote:

FFXIV pro is subject to manual/delayed updates of each players history, but it appears that a Selbian party was first to down Chimera with Figarons, Lindblumites and Istorians all getting it on the second day. You can only see times of events on your own history and they are subject to date/time settings, so I am not sure if it is possible to prove who got it down first -
03-15-2012, 04:16 PMTakinagi
Lucky for us we posted it on these forums
http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...etter-Than-One
also has a date and time :O
Also go to last page and we just complete a 5chest run cutter's cry. -
03-15-2012, 04:16 PMBuddhsie
If I recall last time I was very civil about it, you guys ended up resorting to childish responses. Many people agreed with me, that it was just a method for you to promote yourselves, and that it wasn't necessary. There wasn't any pleading, but the fact that people continue to do it, along with live streaming, just oozes vanity, self-importance and arrogance. Just giving handy advice, friends.

i'm not trying to get other people-for the most part i'm trying to get you and dow to listen as you two clear content quick and post videos and strategies. give it some time to gel before you blow it up. everyone knows that you guys are the best so there's no harm in releasing the videos a little later.
i'm not crying and pleading either i'm asking, which is something people do rarely, if at all on these forums and in even general these days. caps lock is not indicitive of my tone! i just want to you see it.
you guys have the power to change it-there's no rush and instead it can even be a good thing. people trying as hard as they can but know there is a light at the end of the tunnel if it overwhelms them, ie. the days leading up to the video. posting on youtube is totally cool because people have to go out of their way to watch it but posting directly on the forums is a 'if you make it they will come' scenario.
edit: we were pretty beat up when we saw that the selbian won first >.< but we know that and the kanye was a joke and i was hoping you would know that! -
03-15-2012, 04:20 PMTakinagi
Its not hard to wait a week or two and let people have a real try at the dungeon before posting a video. I hate it when half these gimps cry about not enough content.
-
03-15-2012, 04:24 PMNexxus
From the link, there's still not a few ppl that have down him (Yay for Rabanastre ! <3 to much of them)
As is not to hard to avoid a video watch... I know there could be some guys in your party saying "i saw a video, i know how to do it", but it's your problem to ask him not to tell the strat.Quote:

True...Its just a shame the people who watch the video won't have anywhere as much fun as we did figuring out the dungeon :( It is what it is I suppose.

No one is buying anyone's high horse standards for 'preserving the innocence of the community' bs shpleel. Us or anyone posting videos right after immediate kills on new content obviously doesn't affect you guys, being that you're on of the contending top tier raiding linkshells.
White knighting for the the ones in the community who actually can't help themselves but look at a spoiler thread (and then ruin it for themselves) is your agenda - and it's poorly obvious. Trying to draw that crowd to your valiant cause does not make you more popular so it's OK.
Secondly any e-sport streaming is apparently too vain for you folk. Organized sports on television too I'd suppose. GOD EVERYONE IS JUST SO VAIN FOR WANTING TO BE SEEN DOING WHAT THEY DO BEST QQ.
and on that note I'm finished being drawn into another one of these conversations with another linkshell who isn't even 'on the map'. Nor will be. Just giving handy advice, friends. -
03-15-2012, 04:37 PMTakinagi
How come you guys didn't post an AV video? or did i miss it?

Maybe their fun is somewhere else ^^. there's people that only wan't the final reward, and have fun with it, and others people that want to use their own strat and see themself if it's work.
If you want the final reward, you'll probably enjoy having a guide and some video. (I don't see the evil there neither)
If you don't want to be spoiled and try your own strategy you'd better get a group that think the same and dont paid attention to any guide/video. -
03-15-2012, 04:55 PMBuddhsie
People who stream THEMSELVES are vain, not people who have their play streamed by others.
I'm not getting into this argument again, because we all know how it ended last time (and MY GOD was that a fun conversation). We'll let you believe you're the best linkshell out there, obviously because you take the time to promote yourselves so thoroughly. -

03-16-2012, 01:42 AMSheetaSince this thread has been very entertaining to read, I am interested what your vision of the "bigger picture" is. Please, enlighten me to your ideas. I am not being sarcastic or rude, I am serious. Because all I'm hearing how to get to that "bigger picture" and not what the "bigger picture" entitles. If you fully and honestly explain your mentality rather than degrading people and telling them they are wrong, I would say your success rate would increase maybe 50%.Quote:

However if I was not so busy, of course I would rather play around and learn new ways of doing the instance/fights. Though, why would some post on some forums mess me up if I had already talked to my team about trying out new things? I would not even have known about this post if my friend didn't tell me that there was some entertaining post on here that would make me giggle.
My way of thinking is that if you withhold information that someone else could use, you are not empowering the person to try out things they have the power to do. If you think about it, if someone didn't have time to figure things out because of their own problems, they would most likely think that they "couldn't do it" or "it would be a waste of time if I get it wrong". Yes people do think that way, surprisingly. So for those who think that way, getting more information on how to achieve their goals gives them more motivation, inspiration, and excitement to try it out at that time.
This is my vision of the "bigger picture". What about yours? -
03-16-2012, 02:12 AMScarface
Honestly, who cares. More than half the people who play this game won't beat Chimera, because they're bad and can't even take shit that's force feed to them.
The reality is: Dark light gear seems to be a huge time sink, and only the dedicated, or extremely luck will be running around in full sets.
