just wanna know if the code is automatically associated with Steam. If so, nah.

Highlanders are Hyurs.

In short do not sign up if you aren't a Highlander or Roe.

Speaking of adorbs, Clio in OOC linkshells. Confetti for getting NIN 50? Anyone else who would do that? NOPE.AVI. She is the only one and it is awesome.

Caspar pretty much brought up the point I'd be making. Funnily enough, the use of Mary Sue surviving to this day is also a relic of, y'know, women being involved in fan spaces since the '70s and helping mold them. Same with slash. I need to read me some more Henry Jenkins - only thing I read was a book distilling his three previous works and some odds-and-ends writing. Besides, it would be very weird if the term itself was sexist that it would be used as the very title of The Mary Sue. It's been USED in sexist ways - I (not-so) fondly remember my days in fan spaces where people would just toss mad amounts of gendered hate onto anyone who'd dare post a mary sue fic. Then again I'm not expecting anything more than basic "i like this / i hate this" with, if you're lucky, actual telling you of what they hated and liked, out of tweens/teenagers in fan spaces. The term itself being sexist? I'm a dude who's never really thought about it, so I dunno.

READJUSTMENTS OF SKILL SPEED SPELL SPEED. FINALLY. And the crafting nerf is gonna be way too real - that... interview is nuts.

oh man I'd sure like to see them try to pass this over at The Mary Sue.

If you want 4K, go with PC if they end up releasing it there. And I know enough people that routinely change their hair color and wear colored contacts to be affected by that common trope of author-bae.

Makyn loves terrible puns based on his name. That is a compliment because many people would be annoyed but he revels in the tomfoolery. Makyn' bacon.

That is... stupidly epic. Not because of a misuse of the word, just that it's overwrought. But then again since when does S-E work in subtlety?

Keep in mind the RP community isn't the actual community. While most of us go ga-ga over the tall dames, the main playerbase is almost all Midlander/Miqo'te with some Lala's thrown in the mix. It kinda sucks because I personally do not like a split that is THAT pronounced made solely because players be thirsty fucks, but w/e.

Considering Kell's adventurin' days involve contract work typically involving escorting caravans, I'm certain he'll fit in well in this LS.

Guess I gotta PL my crafting so I can finish my traditional french maid outfit. KELL GONNA BE A BELLE.

You should be operating at... around 10% less capacity while your soul readjusts and absorbs the fact that you didn't fucking die from that. TRUST ME I'M A CONJURER. To be even fairer, we still have to quell the Guardian Tree in Job Quest 50 - If that's not a sign of rampant corruption (that you end up staving off thanks to a certain individual who bought it in kobold mines) I don't know what is.

Kell does not have any crushes, really. He has a would bang if they offered. It includes everyone.

MCH gonna be the new DRG because lolguns. It fits the criteria - all the tryhards are gonna go to that because omg guns, it's a DPS class and will likely be difficult to use well at first for many due to turret manipulation. I'm afraid you will never escape. * * * I don't think I've had any terrible tales since I haven't really been doing content lately. Lights are just too boring a step.

Just don't wield it in Gridania or South Shroud and you're essentially gravy (aka areas where there's Padjals who actually know wtf they're doing abound).

If the Fae are closely related to the Elementals... I see what you did there with the level 35 SCH spell. So we suppose that the Elementals were more about protecting quick access to the ability (which would indeed only be in Amdapor) rather than the knowledge it exists. Interesting. Although, other than Holy, most of the other abilities could technically be hidden under the guise of very potent conjury - Same with the responsibilities of healing the planet itself. Too few would know the difference, and unless used for nefarious means (harm the planet instead of heal) it wouldn't seem like the Elementals would mind that much considering that loredump. Still - interesting.

Truly a magnificent competition. Livers were destroyed for our entertainment.

Just gonna address the points... point-by-point since this is pretty much the only post of any value in the thread. Keep in mind these are mostly questions to Sounsyy but if you've got an answer that isn't snark go right ahead. 1 - Wouldn't a scholar studying the War of the Magi at least know of some things about Amdapor, or was that somehow erased from every single recorded history possible and would require an archaeologist character of some renown? I understand there is already, canonically, a book detailing the War of the Magi (that you conveniently deliver to Gerolt as part of the Omnilex relic quest) so wouldn't anyone who has read that and knows of conjury would at least realize that there's something not quite right? 2 - Here's where I don't get it - Wouldn't they do that to Vylbrand as well considering that's where WP is situated? Also, from the way it was worded in the Job Quest, it felt like the Elementals granted White Magic to those they deemed worthy. As such, why cover Amdapor? 3 - That's 1.0 stuff I imagine, since 2.0 is pretty much A-Towa-Cant loves you THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIS much. An interesting point here is that we do not know how the Elementals operate. We know that remove (read : kill) any threat to the forest almost automatically, but do we know their decision process for determining who is worthy? Are we talking someone who will heal the forest (and other people) indiscriminately, as well as calm the elements (which is essentially what you're doing in 2.0)? 4 - That's certainly nefarious means if a way to extract the soul's knowledge from the Soulstone can be found. If there's anything like that, I'd wager it's Ascian related and chances are if people aren't gonna accept a PC WHM they're not gonna accept a PC WHM who got the job because of the Ascians. Also, the Calamity was powerful enough to literally change the landscape of Eorzea - who's to say Amdapor is the only place these soulstones can be found considering how much damage such an impact would have. Assuming there are more than one, of course, I'd say perhaps one or two could be found at the Burning Wall in Eastern Thanalan. Or fished up there. I can't see the Elementals bestowing Succor on even a select group of people. I honestly don't think they have the power to straight up do that anymore - Whatever you learn of Succor and the practical applications in the Quieting in 2.0 comes from the soulstone, and even earlier it takes quite the commotion for an Elemental to show up. Other than in CNJ quest nary an Elemental is to be seen and considering East Shroud we should be seeing at least 3-4 in between Ramuh, Moggle Mog and the Garleans. Most of this is from interpretation of what's omitted in the quests so I could be totally wrong.

Seems like this maint also caused an issue - A lot of us are getting the Waiting in Queue : 1.

You are probably very delicious jelly. Wait is that even a compliment?

99 droplets of tears of all races and different genders, collected within the hour. You distill the Fantasia in a Aetheryte Alembic. You also need 10 clear clusters of all elements in order to synthesize the potion.

GAT DAMN Clio can make the AF FSH hat look damned good, wearin' it like a cowboy hat.

The only thing I learned from this thread was that 1.x UI was ugly as sin. IIRC, the wording used at the lore panel wasn't that the attempt to attain Succor without the Elementals was bad, but rather that the group seeking to do so sought to do it for nefarious means. For all we know, it involves asking nicely with tea and crumpets - they just want to do hella harm with it. In so far as RPing a WHM goes - I think coming at it with a well-researched angle and preparing yourself will oil up the possible frictions that can occur with the community at large. Many RP the jobs after all. Yes, all we have known as the way to learn it is "nefarious purposes" and "through A-Towa-Cant's Soulstone and an uninteresting MSQ", but I've found that if you make your story entertaining, people will jump through hoops to be part of it, rather than exclude you because of what is, essentially, an accessory.
