Thread: 2.0 Grass: please change!

They do say it's all about the little things, but only when the little things are talked about in a positive light. If it's something negative, it's blowing things out of proportion and considered whining.

Now, if SE gave us something more meaty to talk about, then maybe this whole grass conversation would calm down. Still waiting for the so-called flood.

Dude, I criticized one graphical asset of the game, clearly that means I'm going to:

1. Cry extensively
2. Punch my monitor in frustration
3. Drop all of my XIV gear
4. Drop all of my gil
5. Delete my XI character (FUCK IT WE'LL DO IT LIVE)
6. Send several death threats to Yoshida
7. Delete my character
8. Never play a square enix game again
9. Spend several years playing the stock market so I can own 51% of the shares, and then sell SE to Activision Blizzard
10. Not play 2.0.

Who said they were going to quit?

Enough with this grass this, grass that. the grass is the flat green stuff on the ground, and most of that isn't even grass, it's moss and fallen leaves if you would actually look closely at the texture. Forests in general simply do. not. have. grass. Grass as we know it requires quite a bit of light, which is why it's generally found on plains. NOT forests.

Those things that are sticking up out of the ground? yeah, that's not grass. a closer inspection shows a veritable plethora of plant life, however. I see daylilies, ferns, snapdragons, mallow plants, calla lilies, what might possibly be saint john's wort, generic bushes that are probably hawthorns not in bloom, some heavenly bamboo (not an actual bamboo but a barberry), mexican feather grass (not something you find in your lawn, it's a large clumping grass with feathery tufts), some morning glory vines, and some grape hyacinths. That's just the stuff i can see clearly enough and remember from my job at a garden center several years ago.

Nowhere, NOWHERE in that foilage is there what you would call "grass" in the sense of the stuff you would find in a lawn. No fescues, no st. augustine grass, nothing. In a forest there is fierce competition for light and nutrients, and grass simply requires too much water and sunlight for it to thrive in a forest. That is why you find them in plains. And gridiania, last i checked, is not a plain.

The clumping of the foilage is very natural, with the majority of it clustered in sunnier areas, and the ones clustered near trees tend to all be on the same side, (the side that isn't constantly in the trees shadow.)

Seriously, some of you people need to go on a nature hike and see what a real forest looks like. Let's just end this thread now, and stop picking on the poor flowers and bushes, please? They don't like being called grass.

Should really get u and michael one in vent so you both can talk about your grass....

Idk how im gona do now to kill mobs and mine and stuff, with this grass/weed, my emmersi.. for real? Grass issues? ffs, every single thing as to be bitched about...
