  1. Domino will be unofficially representing NB, but officially be representing them IC so that I can make everyone look horrible!!:bomb:
  2. Hiromichi Tanaka was one of the longtime designers for FFXI and the masses hold him (myself included) responsible for the clusterfuck that was FFXIV 1.0. The best gear in the game for FFXI? It came from the first two expansion. It wouldn't be replaced for three expansions and a level-cap increase. Everything was sidegrades and situationals, and XI had a lot of flatly bad gear and decisions in it. We remember it fondly now, of course, but it was a mess back then. How put this, for the folks who didn't play XI... You needed 44,000 experience to hit the old level cap of 75. Getting 6000 exp a night, spending multiple hours in parties used to be a GOOD night. That's if you could get a party, because XI had no solo content. Monsters didn't give incremental EXP: Killing something levels below you gave you 15 or 30 exp, if it gave any at all, and that proceeded to the cap. It's not so bad when you only need 2000 exp to level and can run around whacking bees, but you stop being able to solo comfortably around level 12. I could go on and on and on. Tanaka is the battlecry of retarded design choices. Must....not....derail....thread..... I will say that a good party could get over 10k an hour if memory serves me correctly. At 75 cap you could pull in 12k+ for the thinger points (the name escapes me). I don't know much about gear though because I spent most of my life in a Scorpion Harness and Ohat, lol. Edit: Jammer Leeches, hahahahahaha. I forgot all about them! I actually almost went and redownloaded that game for that free weekend. It owns a part of my soul and will forever call out to me like a siren on the shore.
  3. I'm sort of on the fence as well. I think I'm more okay with people playing scholars, but pretty standoffish when the fairy comes into play. Finding and unlocking a fairy seems like a very rare event. As far as dragoons go I think you are fine. There are other dragoons out in the world
  4. The idea is, is there anything that is considered an equalizer to account for physical differences. Society generally goes on with the idea that women are "lower" because they are physically weaker and not as strong as men. What can be stated as the "equalizer" for females can pretty much be the same reason why Lalafell are considered just as strong and equal in battle as a Roegaydn. Or vice versa. Not every society takes that standpoint, even though women in the real world are physically weaker than men. There's at least one culture that I can think of in New Zealand that is fiercely matriarchal. I want to say that some subsets of Tibetan society are also matriarchal. And even though Chinese culture was very patriarchal, women actually ran the family unit prior to the revolution there. There are some cultures in India that are the same way. I remember doing a report on a subset of people where the child took the mothers name, the land was in the mothers name, and the child had multiple fathers. Anthropology class was fun Men are born with more skeletal muscle tissue while women usually have more adipose, so technically they are stronger than women...technically. Things start to change as the body grows older and you account for physical activities and diet. Eorzea seems to be pretty much like the society we see today. Actually a little better as women seem to be deployed to the frontlines alongside men while last I checked the American military seems to frown upon that sort of behavior. I know they still dont allow women onto submarines. All 3 branches of government seem to be held my women as well which should speak volumes about how equal the sexes are treated.
  5. Its good to know that you will be back in good health soon. I will be wishing for a speedy recovery and can't wait to have you roam around with us again.
  6. Ahahaha yes! So much yes!
  7. I always emote Denn having a deep and thunderous voice. The only voice I think comes close to it is. gey4MNgteK4 And Cyrinius of course would be... n54RJNS5aFw I originally thought of him using the more feminine voice in the later Dynasty Warrior games, but decided to deepen it up a little more.
  8. soldiers is the new myth, myth is the new philosphy. Atma is only obtained through FATEs in certain regions. You need a Zenith equipped (and the quest started) to obtain them. Its rumored that the drop rate is 3%. You need twelve.
  9. I would contact Gharen Wolfsong (I think that is his last name). I believe he was in an Ala Mhigo Resistance group. There was a plot weaved where I attacked them before >.> For Garlemald! :bomb:
  10. You just show up and ask for an Overseer! They'll almost always happily sign you on. We've got a shortage of healers. ^ Its why Denn stopped showing up. Too many broken people left in her path and not enough healers to kiss their boo boo's better. :evil:
  11. *Cough, cough* There may have been a certain bandit who tried to bring Ul'dah down to its knee's and is rumored to be an ex-Garlean. I had the same trouble of trying to measure how much chaos she would start in Ul'dah. I thought about doing newspaper articles to roll out on the RPC about the happenings of what was going on (to give people IC things to talk about in the Quicksand and stuff). I actually did end up rolling out one episodic newspaper, but then kind of lost the desire. I may be able to offer you some help as that group still runs around Thanalan causing mayhem, but they have not started much trouble with the city itself since their leader was rumored to have died as she has not been seen since being ambushed and poisoned by an opposing faction.
  12. Call me a sucker for sexy nip slips, but Andralyn looks great.
  13. Yeah, I have been watching Archeage for a few years now. Following the english community who plays on the korean server. On paper it sounds absolutely amazing, but they had lots of complaints about it. Mostly involving the pirate/criminal system and how the risk vs reward is too out balanced. I still might check it out, but for some reason I think my heart will stay in FFXIV. The Repopulation is the only game I am looking forward to >.>
  14. I see your waiting list is open :3. May I poke you for one?
