K'nahli

To save me reading it again, may I ask what changes? I only read that they are changing the BGM somehow. Also, I must be the only person who doesn't really care about the slap emote since we essentially had that already with /throw, but I'll happily check it out nonetheless and await for the first time I come back and find some random lalafel attacking my shins. Pharos Sirius is the one with the BGM change. Which hopefully means that the little choir sort of song at the very beginning will play the whole way through now. Syrcus Tower is getting guaranteed drops of Unidentified Allagan Tomestones/Oil of time from Amon and Xande. As well as Sands of Time from Xande. Ohh, I'm sorry! I read Pharos but interpreted that as Syrcus for some reason, haha. Thank you very much for your reply. Ahhh, I'm sorry to hear ;; Why is it that she cannot get a house though? Because she wants it in a private, residential zone only or because of the prices? I didn't put too much stock into the emotes they were saying they would put in due to the fact they wouldn't even give a proper sleep emote, nor let us use it anywhere other than in the house. I'm betting hug will be like pet where you've got to spend time positioning for it to even look right. I'm glad they put it in though, just not excited about it. I am glad about the new UI changes that make things a little faster and easier to access. Also, I'm cheesin' a bit that they named the upgrade of Novus to Nexus since that's our company name. *does raise the roof emote*:lol: Also, its nice that you can ride your chocobo in neighborhoods now, I always hit the button for it and go "Doh". I can tell you now that this is how it does work, unfortunately ;; I was holding out hope that the hug might at least look pretty good but it doesn't look very affectionate either which is a shame since I really wanted to use it with my character's sister mostly for a warm and mooshy set of screenshots. *sigh*

Yes, sadly.

I never really considered the impact this might have on FCs until Liadan linked the topic from the Japanese forum, I can easily see how they(and anyone here) would be rattled over that. I wouldn't complain if they reconsidered this even if it doesn't affect me, though it will kill me to have to wait longer to get back in-game, haha. I had no idea the game was to be patched today but I had the day off conveniently. (In any case, sorry to hear that the housing has been a major disappointment to you)

But before this gets bogged down in more housing complaints, I must add that the /hug emote isn't quite what I had hoped for by the looks of it ;w; It doesn't look much more than a HIGHLY platonic one that you could give any random acquaintance. I don't think I can really see it as a hug which siblings or parent and offspring would exchange, sadly. I hope I have spoken too soon though!

Everyone has their breaking point. Just because you don't understand it doesn't make it less valid. I don't... really see what you were trying to get at there. I wasn't commenting on the validity on anyone's reason for leaving, I simply stated that I did not understand it. My point was that if people are going to get so upset over a "little" issue like this then I hope they are prepared for a lot of further disappointment with other games because I have yet to encounter a company that takes care of it's players and appeals to their interests as well as Square Enix do. While not perfect, they're certainly the best that I have encountered... based on 'A Realm Reborn' alone.

Thanks, Liadan.

In the shroud, hopefully neighbouring a friend with my secondary character. Also, while this was disappointing to many people, I do not really understand how is worth quitting the game over. If this little aspect was all that tied you here then I am not entirely sure what you are expecting better of other games. (Also no-one ever said that it was going to be anywhere near 800k that I recall).

May I have a link, please?

Whatever new system they may choose, I just hope I can make enough money to be a friend's neighbour and harass them on a regular basis and try to outdo them garden-wise(in a comical sense ww Though I doubt I can hold myself away from really trying to have a nice garden in the end).

I like that guy. I've chilled with him many times while visiting Sagolii as my Sunseeker. I like your screenshot by the way, it reminds me of Skyrim.

UltimatePay serves as a medium for Paypal payments which is how I add Crysta to pay for my subs. (Bank transfers are how I get money into Paypal).

Ohhh!! Ohhhhh!!! I do this too! Whenever I see someone running toward me that is seemingly on a collision course, I have my fingers ready above Q and E so that I can casually step to the side. I also make sure not to run through people either and I get annoyed when I see people on big Goobues from my party running on top of me in Frontlines, haha(in the real, open FF world, I get out of the way as quickly as I can if they're coming the other way and usually follow with a /shocked emote). In addition, I do a LOT of walking through cities and the world in general, even when I am going nowhere in particular. Also if I see anyone else walking I will almost certainly stop and do so myself so as to help boost their immersion just a little bit should they be RP'ing. There are so many things I neglected to remember if not for other posts, haha. I am really glad others do this too. I'd appreciate seeing people deliberately trying not to run through me though I don't ever recall noticing it. Sometimes when passing through places like Fallgourd float where a lot of people can gather I might even slow my chocobo to a walk and place a wide berth between us so as to not... well, startle them I guess. I know I wouldn't want a big horse casually brushing right by me in real life in case of a misplaced hoof.

This is a large reason why I am not sure I ever could kill of an "important" character of my own when other peoples' RP can rely pretty heavily on the fact that they're alive. Not saying that that is quite the case for me, but to use my own two characters as an example: K'nahli Her death would deeply trouble her younger sister K'mih and have a massive impact on her RP but I do not think it could be considered interesting or dramatic as opposed to troublesome and even selfish. It would also have a significant impact on a tia named K'rahto who has a bit of a thing for her as well as her father though he wouldn't be a primary concern I guess. K'rahto's story hinges a lot on K'nahli since he was sort of developed for that unrequited and forbidden love dynamic, haha. Andre He is sort of Clover's excuse to go to events without being there alone. I'm sure his death wouldn't stop her and probably wouldn't trouble her that much but it would be an OOC inconvenience to the player so for that reason alone I could not kill him, even if I really wanted to.

Hahaha, that's a nice little quirk that never really occurred to me myself. Its definitely silly things like that which I was hoping to hear about. That reminds me, I do like to salute NPCs belonging to my GC or for the very rare time I see someone in full uniform though that's not quite an IC thing really since none of my characters are active members of one. Also, when on my hyur, I tend to smile and wave a lot to random people whenever they look my way or for any other natural reason(similar to occasions where you would do so in real life). That sounds amazing ;w;

I'm curious as to how many people do this and how far you take it. I'm sure that many people have been guilty of this at least once, but what I want to know is... Is there any way that you behave while playing a character, even when you are completely OOC and not even close to RP'ing? It needn't even be specific to the way your character behaves or would behave, but even just a reaction to the world around them at any given time. I, for example, very seldom go through Coerthas or anywhere undergoing cold/rainy weather without equipping a set I have that is made to keep my character dry and warm(mainly just a cloak, gloves and decent boots). It's quite bad, to the point that I sometimes question why other people around me, even non-RP'ers, aren't doing the same(not actually questioning them, haha... but in my head...) A friend also has this little quirk where she simply says "Hello." when entering a dungeon, completely absent of any friendliness or smileys - which are almost mandatory in her normal, daily speech patterns and when playing her brighter characters - simply because they do not suit her male characters. So! What are yours?

Maybe.

"Oi, S'amba!" an unfamiliar voice suddenly called out to the wounded male. "You are takin' all day with those damned bonds, how abouts you get a move on, eh?" the voice continued with an eager, even arrogant tone. It had hardly even been a couple of hours since S'imba had begun the slow and painstaking process of tearing at his binds using some of the sharpened rock that had naturally been shaved off from the cliff face, and yet the other male Sunseeker, whom had yet to say a single word toward the new captives, was already becoming anxious having eavesdropped on the conversations previous. "Shut up." A duly given sharp response was quickly spat toward the pompous youth in return, though it had come from his Duskwight companion, ironically, whom had mumbled it just loud enough for the other prisoners to hear. Contrary to the miqo'te next to him, the Elezen spoke with a tone of dejection. Like many of the others present, he had taken little interest in S'imba's attempts to escape his bonds. Right, like no-one here hadn't tried that already, he thought. Even so, however, his choice of words - unlike his tone and expression - did not reveal the same lack of enthusiasm. "Unless you want him to leave you behind, then shut up." The exchange was perhaps a bit risky, at least on the Sunseeker's part. Though most of the Ixali were a ways off, they had by no means cast a blind eye to the prisoners - and whether they could hear the exchange or not, conversing so blatantly with one another would not go unheeded. For now, at least, no such thing had been noted by the Ixali, much to the captives' fortune - but that was not to say, however, that the group were not being watched. --------------- On the far side of the encampment, quite a distance away, two pairs of eyes hidden low, beneath the shadow of the bordering treeline focused intently on the collection of prisoners that had been gathered below the tall cliff-face. "This is suicide... what could we possibly hope to accomplish here alone?" the youngest of the two, a midlander, protested. The tremor in his voice betrayed the inexperience that followed his youth as his leafy-green eyes fell upon the shade-laden profile of the older whom looked on with a calm determination from a crouched position. His gaze, unlike his more experienced counterpart, was far from steady, twitching and shaking incessantly as the mere two seconds it took for him to receive a response seemed to drag out to an eternity of it's own as he hoped, even prayed for his concerns to be acknowledged for what they only could be in a rookie's eyes, fact. "Ixali sleep just like any other creature. I find that you'll be praising our lack of presence come nightfall, when all that's left are their sentries" the elezen responded calmly without taking his gaze away from their objective. "But.. that is not to say that not arousing attention will prove a simple task, Aubrennard..! Surely you think tha-..." "If you want to back out now then I will not stop you, but after this there is no turning back. Even an onze of hesitation could cost lives... and I do not talk merely of our own" the elezen interrupted coolly as his sharp, mulberry gaze continued to scan over every ilm of the encampment with a habitual precision. He paused for a moment; before carrying his eyes to the right until his younger comrade pushed into the corners of his vision. Laying low beneath the forest's shadow, the young wailer, as ever, appeared weak and submissive to the Elezen's command, though that was not to be unexpected. Though wary of both danger and risk, the youth never did shy away from duty, less so any order he had been given. It was clear that proceeding with the task the two had silently taken charge of alone was something that caused him to be swallowed by an overwhelming sense of anxiety, but refusal was simply not in his nature. Perhaps the offer alone had not been enough. "You will be no less of a soldier for choosing to do so. Assessing risk and reward is important after all, but no-one other than yourself can ever determine for you the true worth of any reward" the Elezen finally spoke once again as he tried to push the responsibility back into the midlander's hands. He would not deliberately sway him one way or another. After all, it had to be a personal decision; one of worth. "He will not last much longer in that state, of that I am certain. And so I cannot waste any more time awaiting aid" the Elezen continued while returning his gaze forward once more to look upon one prisoner in particular. A distant but distinguishable form that was still visible beneath the evening's, remnants of light. "Wilkin saved me countless times when I was still green and for that I owe him everything. For me there is no decision to be made, there is only an objective". With that, the Elezen fell silent. The rest had been left up the young man. The midlander's green eyes slowly fell toward the ground to gaze upon the messy, litter of twigs that bedded over the soil beneath their feet. Even though he had been offered a safety line, an escape route that would allow him to return home to see his mother and friends again, he could never in good conscious leave now, as much as his sinful mind would tell him otherwise, to abandon pride and honour in favour of ensured survival and health. His heart pounded fervently against his chest, beating so loudly that it seemed to drown out all other sound as he tried to summon up the ability to formally announce his decision. Though his mind raged silently with a conflict of emotion and consequence, in his heart the decision had been decided from the moment the other wailer confirmed that he would not abandon Wilkin like this. Dyed leather creaked beneath tightening fists as the young midlander slowly raised his head once more to face the Elezen with a determined look. "I... won't abandon Wilkin.... nor you" he spoke with a misplaced anger as the green eyes that lay at the centre of his fierce expression glistened softly from the restrained tears that testified to the persisting, inner whispers of rationality that would from this moment on, forever haunt him with that repetitive phrase... "This was a mistake, you will die for nothing"

Head tilting.... will there be head tilting...?

=w= I don't know...

/pet let me down a bit but I don't really see how /hug could do the same..... unless you don't actually "hug" a person but just curve your arms around ahead of you which can be "made" to look like a hug if positioned correctly..... ugh..

I saw the recipe for the monk one a long time ago and I was so upset because it reminded me of something an archer might actually wear so I was happy to learn there was a PvP version, haha ; Is the Jerkin not good enough for you, Melkire?

Yeyyyyyyyyy >W< ;;;;;;;;;;; I AM GOING TO HARASS THREE, CERTAIN PEOPLE SO MUCH!!! dsfsdfsdf Also, for anyone who hasn't done the level 50 Goldsmithing quest or does not remember, I believe this may be how a taller character hugging a Lalafel might work should you be interested. Or perhaps not... but it's something to look at from a bad angle at least! It could just as easily not have been programmed in and animated on the fly but still!

I am nowhere near as talented but I had to make something ;w;

I am genuinely laughing, hahaha >w< ;;;
