discussion Rogue One !!Spoilers!! Discussion Thread
Kage replied to Kage's topic in Off-Topic Discussion
Saw Gerrera plays a big part in Clone Wars but I don't know if they plan to expand that in Cinematic form outside of animation. He just seemed so played up. I didn't expect his character to just... go quietly into the night lmfao. -
discussion Rogue One !!Spoilers!! Discussion Thread
Kage replied to Kage's topic in Off-Topic Discussion
I kept calling Bodhi Kodhi outside of the theater until I came home. Before that I only knew Jyn, CASSIEN? CASSIAN? CASSIAN CONFIRMED credits, and K2. Everyone else's names were after the movie actually ended. I have two thoughts about Vader. A) It would have been so much more impactful if it was just his end sequence tearing up Rebels as the disc gets passed. B) BUT THE PUN I enjoyed this more than A Force Awakens. I didn't hate A Force Awakens but OK. This, this I liked. A lot. And enjoyed. Willing to watch in theaters again. Especially if dolby cinema. @Warren: yes. SO MUCH YES. I kept staring at the Vader helmet/neck going "was... was that how it always was??? Why does it look so off? and bad?" -

FUN FACT: Gold Leader and Red Leader footage are from CUT REELS of A New Hope! They didn't CGI them in like Tarkin and Leia. (I mean they did do some editing so the cockpit looks right but yeah). If you missed some of the cameos, here you go. The entire end of the movie was re-shot. Hell, a lot of the trailers kept scenes that ended up not making it into the movie in the end. To that effect, I still think the execution of the Theft of the Plans of the Death Star was done much better in Rogue One than in the Expanded Universe. They played up Saw Gerrera so much though. One of the two flaws I had with the movie. Saw Gerrera and the pacing of the first third of the movie. A lot of people are complaining about how it didn't feel like a Star Wars movie but I think that Rogue One didn't need to take on that 'feel'. The desperation reflected in the war movie it is in the latter part is great. CHIRRUT. AND BAZE. The two Chinese actors' characters whose names I did not know. Are they a bromance? Or a romance. In the end, they died. They are one with the Force and the Force is with them. Also? jesus, Thank you that there was no Kiss between Jyn and Cassian. THANK YOU All in all, I really enjoyed it. I want to watch it in Dolby cinema now. -
Please talk Rogue One with me. Please.

I have no real hate or bias against them anymore as I honestly don't care too much whether or not people use them. People skip the story anyhow. People skip content anyway (just yesterday I saw a SCH who was working on A12Savage who had never been in Titan EX before synced). People don't care for the story. Sooner or later we're going to get to a point where people would then need to jump into a game 2 expansions in. Do they really need to get through that? Did I care that they locked one expansions behind the main game once? Back then I was like "sure, seems legit." Now, I can see why it can be detrimental to lock everything until you reach a certain stage etc. It doesn't matter about whether or not people know how to play their roles. People don't know how to do that and they had to go through all that time, I see no difference. I've heard that one of the World First players bought their account before they tackled the content and that it is/was widely known amongst hardcore raiders.

You mean aside from the actual penguin minion right?
-
It's another Starlight season approaching so what are your wishes for this season in FFXIV? A certain minion? Old content clear or people to run with? A certain top for glamor?
-
Your thoughts are pretty much along the same as most. People won't harass them but will try their best to ignore or have their characters believe they're imposters etc.

This used to be the case for Balmung... two years ago. Until like just before Heavensward (June 2015). You could still make characters at like 4-6 am Pacific NA on Balmung at the time of 2014 las Vegas Fanfest (October 2014) for sure.

Balmung char creation is getting seriously ridiculous. Even when Gilgamesh was still open Balmung was already closed. "Getting"? I'm fairly certain getting into Balmung has always been an ordeal. I managed to get my characters in during that short maintenance window two or so years ago and it's only gotten worse since then. Isn't it basically a given at this point that you'll have to transfer if you want in? It's been this way since a few months before Heavensward where you might have had <5 min after maintenance. Ever since HW, the only time I've seen a creation window is for <1 min or the server is crashing big time. It's pretty much a given that if you want Balmung you need to transfer. And Balmung has always been worse than Gilgamesh in terms of when you can create a character.

The Vent Tent - Poor PuGs and Other Terrible Tales
Kage replied to Gegenji's topic in FFXIV Discussion
If it's unsynched, sure. The fight is about a minute long with all 60s. But did the party maker forget to turn that on? That moment when people don't pop orbs but yourself and you can't self heal through all of them orz -
i think only if you were willing to wait like an extra two weeks? I'm not sure how much it costs to ship to Canada but with super saver it probably costs like $65 USD. Then you add whatever it costs to ship (maybe an additional $12? I think we have priority mail for the lore book size?)
-
10/28 I finally got the shipped status. 10/29 they got a UPS label. So sometime soon it will start to move. Hopefully it will be at friend's place before Thanksgiving!

The Vent Tent - Poor PuGs and Other Terrible Tales
Kage replied to Gegenji's topic in FFXIV Discussion
The funny thing with A11 is that I missed the first week of Creator cause of an on-going government audit at my company so my stress and anxiety was through the roof and I couldn't deal with pugging. Anyway, the videos I saw didn't cover everything but... A11's don't-stand-there-AoE-time!!! mechanics aren't new. It took 2 runs/wipes for me to realize that the non-standard glowing red symbol was yes an actual problem but it's just like Shiva's which were JUST LIKE TITAN's bombs. They blow up in order. So... go to the last one to be safe and then move to the free spot??? Osric and I went both new, didn't have time to really watch a vid as thoroughly as would have preferred... We got a comment of "best newbies ever" at one point. We ended up wiping once or twice but since it was the second week people didn't care as much. And then last night Osric jinxed me when I was going into Trials roulette for Second Chance points. Got Chrysalis. Second chance yay! osric says I'll wipe 10 times. 2 bards, 1 blm, 1 monk. We wiped once because no one LB'd the tear (or even hit it except for when I tomahawk'd it a bit cause I was TAKING COMETS). Explain after wipe: Gotta lb the tear asap, focus on the tear killing it. Everyone expected monk to lb. Last second a bard realizes that monk is not LBing so they try but comets and wipe. I say: [18:02](Kage Kiryuu) Monk-name! [18:02](a healer) ur supposed to lbit as soon as it appears [18:02](Kage Kiryuu) Why are you in first of earth [18:03](Kage Kiryuu) also you are the best to lmit break Then I notice that there's only the monk, myself and another dps left so I leave as well. Re-queue, Chrysalis again, Monk again! I don't say anything to the monk but there's now a dragoon too so I plead, "for love of all that is holy please lb the tear." A Tank and healer joke "Oh sure you mean don't kill the tear?" "Oh ok healer limit break right?" I notice, again, Monk still has fists of earth. 18:06](Kage Kiryuu) monk-name you're still in fist of earth [18:07](other tank) MNK tank lol [18:07](Monk-name) if u see im the only one not synchronise [18:07](Monk-name) I just pop lv 50 so stfu retard [18:08](a healer) Woah now. No need for -that- language! [18:08](a dps) Seriously, don't be a prick. [18:08](other tank) Damn, you should rename yourself Morton Salt'factory [18:09](Kage Kiryuu) It's ok. He's made cause 5/8 people left the last chrysalis after two wipes. A) You never asked for help and we also explained it? b) Fists of Fire and Fists of Earth are not level 50?? Fists of Fire is lvl 40? C) Someone went from 0 to fucking 100 real fast. -
The Vent Tent - Poor PuGs and Other Terrible Tales
Kage replied to Gegenji's topic in FFXIV Discussion
It was one of the top 3, especially when contained to only burst aoe dps. Its ranking has dropped in HW at 60 but that isn't much of a concern when talking about burst aoe at 50. -
The Vent Tent - Poor PuGs and Other Terrible Tales
Kage replied to Gegenji's topic in FFXIV Discussion
I am very confused as to how much damage is being done to you and -why- you are getting so much damage when the tank has aggro on everything. Exactly how many individual mobs are up? Because DRG have -great- burst aoe dps. (They did just fine in the old speedrun Brayflox HM pull everything in like 3 pulls runs). -
-flounders- It is hitting day 10...

I ordered super saver but it still hasn't even started delivery ..
-
Someone posted on reddit that their usps delivery of the lorebook went from Tennessee to Florida to Kentucky to Canada back to Kentucky. Several stops in Florida including Miami.
-
It's always the SE Online store. Always. -stares at book that has not been even started- Buying book for friend who was stuck working a convention did not turn out well. They still haven't even shipped it out.
-
If I had a better idea of Japanese forwarding systems and they sold these stuff through other places, I'd be up on them much faster. I'd rather be using amazon.jp amazon.com for that matter, amiami or other sites before I used the SE store. It's honestly more of the last resort for me.

Most likely you will be able to get some refund on the shipping with a normal company but SE's online fulfillment stores have always been shit since it was Digital River. They may argue that your shipping actually was the right one if the shipping takes 2 days (because shipping is not delivery!!!11) Meanwhile I paid for super saver on getting a lore book for someone in the area + moogle blanket + duality and the moogle blanket only good a shipping label on friday and is being delivered next friday. Plus, the Lore book hasn't even shipped yet for me and my order Date: 2016-10-17 19:04:11 Payment Date: 2016-10-17 19:04:11 (4 minutes after the hour) (from: Square Enix Online Store via sendgrid.me date: Mon, Oct 17, 2016 at 10:10 AM)

They had always been telling people that release and ship of the book would be this year after the NA Fanfestival.

The store is sadly infamous and notorious for sometimes not shipping things as fast as we wish it could be.
