I lack the 1.0 background to properly ask after more lore on the Twelve, particularly as that relates to depictions, worship, religious practices, etc. Want more of these things. Can't find enough.

Bolshevik. Everyone knows that the real ship is Taeros x Jenlyns. ...Straightblade is a bottom.

Why... why would you remind us of this? ლ(ٱ٥ٱლ)

...preeeeeeettyyyyyyyy. :love::love::love:

I'd like a short break, But you're all too chaotic, Especially Nat.

A little part of me dies inside every time I see Serpent or Storm Elite gear. They look so good... but... *eyes Flame Elite gear and shudders*

SCHEME SCHEME SCHEME That feel when short. THAT FEEL WHEN HE TOOK ANOTHER STEP CLOSER AND I WAS LOOKING UP AT A NINETY DEGREE ANGLE BECAUSE TALL. Ovjang, approximately two minutes before I murderized him.

Required accuracy for each role in each turn of Binding Coil and Second Binding Coil. Might be slightly off, not sure if this references hard parses or anecdotes. You're not going to miss Twin at 490 acc, Coat. According to the table linked above, 512 accuracy is required for tanks to not miss T9, 491 is required for all physical DPS and SMNs, 470 is required for the remaining DoM classes. For most classes, these are fairly easy to hit with a combination of soldiery/ST gear even before you start getting into High Allagan... and let's not forget food bonuses.

My first thought when looking at this picture: "Amalj'aa beacon. Must put it out." ...f$#$^*& you, beastmen dailies.

Some small insidious part of my mind keeps whispering to me that Yvelont double-times by dipping himself in a large vat of chocolate before dying his hair cotton-candy pink. ... ...naaaaaaaaaaaaah.

What is your definition of plenty? Because it seems to me to be very odd. Consider that Balmung has 30,000 (roughly) players. Then consider how many houses we have, even after the wards are doubled. xivsoul.com reports a Balmung population of 80,000 player characters. Who knows how many of those are alts. Where'd the 30k figure come from? I'm curious.

This. Most of the legitimate complaints I've heard, seen, or read over the latter half of this past week boil down to, "there weren't enough plots added for there to be housing available for purchase after an hour." Balmung was supposedly sold out of small plots a mere 14 minutes after the patch went live and servers came back up. That's absurd. Put aside that personal housing turned out to be the same system as FC housing, put aside that individuals are now competing with FCs for housing, put aside whatever Yoshi supposedly promised before radio silence from Square Enix... those who'd worked their rear ends off to be able to afford small houses should at least have a fair chance at acquiring them, and that ought to mean a larger window than a mere hour or less. The current system by which FC and personal houses are purchased is, to be honest, inadequate. It favors those with no commitments, high-speed connections, and high-end computers who can be available as soon as as the patches go live and who can phase in and out of zones fast enough to travel an in-game distance sooner than others. I care little for personal housing - my FC was lucky enough to snag a house back in... 2.3, I think it was?... we're small enough that our members can take turns with gardening, and we all have access to chocobo stables, and we helped each other purchase our personal rooms. That said, the above is the one failing point in Square's implementation of housing acquisition, IMO, and I feel for those who've voiced their grievances. "We had the gil, but we weren't able to be there when patch went live." "We had the gil, but we took too long to phase in." I sincerely doubt that the small plots from the new wards coming with 2.4 will be available longer than a day at most. It'd be optimistic to hope for more than a few hours. Anyone who's not able to be online, patch quickly, and phase quickly as soon as the patch drops will get screwed again.

:tonberry: ODIN, ODIN, ODIN, ODIN, ODIN! :tonberry:

*kicks searchlight into operation and throws up the Askier logo*

Those little fluffy cakes at the Quicksand with the white powder on them.

"One hell of a view you picked." "I do not know if I care for it. The sea leaves a bitter taste in my mouth these days." The first shot rings out! Miss... the second shot echoes, striking Osric Melkire in the chest.

Page 143 is particularly delicious. Passing food by mouth is a favorite of mine.

I see nothing out of the ordinary here... What about Thaarus on a draught choco to the right without anyone groping him? thats pretty weird. No Thaarus doesn't get groped. He does the groping. The fact he isn't groping anyone is what's weird, you see. Does groping his draught chocobo count?

Chart should read "20 are small plots". Seems a typo, as the rest of the math is correct. Just thought I'd point that out.

On behalf of the organizers, thank you all! Iron Sea & Misha Jinhri: Thank you for stepping up to the colossal challenge of helping organize such a high turnout! Trust me when I say that we understand how swamped one can get when buried under /tell and LS messages from so many people. Was even more impressed when I learned that you're on PS4, Iron! And Misha, tyvm for helping poor Iron out when things got to be too much. Igluvijaq Crow, Austurmax Laforet, Anelia Sadowyn, Oscare Iono as "The Strategist", and Zachary Evans as "Theatre Crow": Thank you for showing up and throwing in with the baddies to help bolster our ranks! We would have been much more hard-pressed for tense conflict had you not given your time and energy to stand against the forces of good! It's regrettable that we didn't have more time for pre-event RP and that our villains were strewn throughout Moraby for the duration of the event, meaning less interaction. Perhaps next time! Everyone who participated: Thank you so very much for being patient with us when it came to organization, explanation, etc. Thank you for showing up, and thank you also for sticking around! We hope everyone had fun. <3

*points at the giant windmill in The Goblet next to Raubahn's Salute* Take that. And similar places in Lavender Beds and The Mist. Add a door. Drop an aetheryte right outside that we can teleport to. Give us laaaaaaarge apartments via instances, with the ability to garden in potted plants a la Mog Houses. Add a communal chocobo stable instance. Allow us to whitelist friends we'd like to be able to visit our "personal housing". Price this setup accordingly. ...oh look. Something everyone would have been happy with.

"Rotunda, Weapon of Nald'thal. There is a task needed of you." Malms upon malms away, on a tranquil stretch of forgotten coast, Rotunda Crow convulsed as he fell to his knees, sabatons sinking into the shoal as he drove a shaking fist through the wet sand into the soaked soil below. Jaws clenched as rotten teeth slid against and over one another. Shoulders locked with tension as a feral growl rolled up his throat. Close. So close. More time. I need more time. i'llkillyouisweartotheonetruegodiwillyoucan'tdothistomeyoucan't In his mind's eye, Rotunda saw a pair of soot-black gauntlets rise up and snap shut around a thin, elegant neck, fingers fastening around the throat, the vice-like grip tightening as the man in black drove a battered, bloody husk of a duskwight to the floor. The soldier adjusted his grip, seized the Elezen by the hair, and held the head under the cool, icy waters of darkness. Words fell from lips in a steady cadence as the duskwight thrashed beneath the midlander. I am Adin Adonis, Major Triarius, faithful son of Garlemald, loyal hand of the Empire. Fortune favors me, as it ever has. I will overthrow these chains and wrest control from these gods-fearing savages. I will return to my people. I will rise again. I will become Legatus. I will be Emperor. Discipline will yield the bloom of ages. Rotunda shook as the fulcrum in his head returned to balance, as the scales tipped from chaos towards order. Aether surged through him once more, and he convulsed again... but he pushed himself back to his feet, shaking as he took one long, deep, shuddering breath of unlife. He licked his lips, then spoke to the chill winds of the Umbral Isles. "Coin for Nald, Blood for Thal, and Glory to the Voice." "Rotunda, Atrium's effectiveness has declined. As of this time, you are now First among Crows. During tomorrow's ritual, you are to do anything required to insure its completion. Should Atrium exhibit any sort of behavior you deem unworthy of a Crow, inform me immediately. If we cannot remove whatever is causing Atrium's decline, I shall destroy the body and send the souls to Nald'thal." One soot-black gauntlet, drenched and covered with mud, clenched into a fist. "The true god speaks and I hear. The Voice commands, and I obey." For now.

What Haeden yells in my ear over TeamSpeak every time we phase into Expert Roulette dungeons. Dear SCHs: your WAR tanks are so sorry for causing you grief. It's just that long pulls are so tempting that the W button calls to us. Must. Move. Forward. ASAP.

Short answer: Bungie never learned to develop a decent game that isn't Marathon or Halo. Long answer: Bungie never learned to develop a decent game that isn't Marathon or Halo, and they never will. P.S. Thanks for your feedback, Val.
