Came home late from work at about 6:30 EST. Logged in about 6:45 to 1000 abouts queue. Got in at 7:10. Pretty good in my head, considering: 1. We are on a max pop server 2. We are still in the early days of an expansion launch The folks whining about 20-30 minute queues in the other forums need to re-attune to their reality aetherite, imo.

Each time I get booted due to server load, I'm going to order another pizza.

The version for the Titan fight was put on the 2.5 Before the Fall OST. (2:24) I think that means we'll see something... maybe not a full length rise. You know, being a bit of an older gamer that grew up in the Atari/NES area ... these chiptunes feed some sort of starved nostalgia monster dwelling within my core. And leave me wanting for the entire FFXIV soundtrack redone on the 8 or 16 bit board. x_x Here's for hoping they release that Alex track at somepoint.

I'm kupo for kupo nuts! :moogle:

Why hello! As someone who has a character that was raised in that path and followed that trade for many years before taking up the lance, I can safely and sadly see this thread has about most of the lore on it. And you've taken the same idea with Raine that do with Tris: "This is what/how he learned, not how the Ala Mhigan shamans are." It works given his mother was an outcast and broadly considered a "witch" by the locals of the time. To Teadrinker's point, I followed some of the same logic. Anything healing is really more an herblism/wortcraft kind of thing. I actually look at the alchemy recipes and wing it by dumbing them down with the basic ingredients, then adding the RP flair of smelling like a goats ass. For magic, during the few and rare times you will see Tris put it to use instead of the lance? Look to 1.0 Conjuration spells. They are more fitting to the idea both highlanders and the Ala Mhigans being a rough and tumble sort of people. Note that the spells are almost entirely offensive. Still, I'm being careful with this. While it satisfies the druid/ranger/pathfinder archetype I was wanting with Tris, I am fully prepared for lore to roundhouse his face as well. It's a sparsely mentioned element of Ala Mhigan life, notably in the Cactuar Piss quest. So I have to take a balancing act with it, and use some of my storytelling dynamics for the character to be not so upfront about being a shaman. I would love more lore on it, and maybe Stormblood might toss of a few bones on that. (if you see what I did there you get a cookie)

Been on an electro-swing and related variations kick lately ... UbQgXeY_zi4 SGIn0g80g_I KHWa1M9oIkk

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. Damn things are more traveled than I am by the time they arrive.

Confirmed here. Was able to get mine ordered with the link in the email they sent. Looks like after 48 hours they are opening the remaining alotted inventory to the public:

Honestly? I'm about as fucking salty as a hot pretzel over the speed of that book selling out right now. Wait list it is ... *wanders off to find some mustard for his pretzel*

Practical me guesses September. Patch pace plus a release delay.

I'll be making my way so far outside, I'll be in outer space ... The Empire needs supplies at a new outpost, and there is a good work for the pilots willing the make the haul out. o7

While true that naked is a fine word to use, particularly in the context of using it to assist in the description of likening your character's bum to a "ripe tomato", do take care with the following words: Dollop Cordwainer Lima Peregrinate Ambuscade Floccinaucinihilipilification Kindercarnavalsoptochtvoorbereidingswerkzaamhedenplan Kumquat

I feel like we need to wander over the feature request thread and ask for fridge to put these on, complete with alphabet magnets.

By continue to do what I have always done: With no swivin' clue.

Honestly, I love your color pallettes and the way you draw hair. All those fine colored lines and detail, with that little bit of sheen. As a person with zero arting skills, I'm completely envious. Pigeons are obviously the superior avian. Your art continues to get better and more awesome each time I see it. *tosses some bread and old museum popcorn* p.s. omghi its grey. @_@

What Tris has been doing the Shroud the last few moons, according to some ...

Oh thank Hydaelyn I am not the only one who does this. I usually do this while listening to character playlists too. It's like audio-visual submersion. Also ... ... when you spend an entire weekend deep diving into the research on the shamanistic practices of multiple cultures in an attempt to draw connections to their extremely rare and almost nonexistent presence in game.

A bit of old school wisdom on this one: "You feel it's your job to pull it, then it is your job to tank it." Any game where I have tanked while in pick-up groups and this happens, I spam the /sit skill. Trusted friends or groups where the agreement is made is really my only exception. Props to that AST though, I'm slowly learning to play WHM and healing is certainly a whole another animal when you don't know the dungeon from that role.

Played for about six, and generally agreed. Was always interesting to watch the sov maps change and shift, sometimes wandering what happened out in nul-sec while being glad you weren't there at the same time. The collapse of CVA held space by the AAA alliance (I think) comes to mind. Sure it was a cesspool but it was my favorite cesspool, being a low-sec/nul-sec pirate in the end.

That is a rather large request. Shoshopu, gimme like... four days and I'll get your friend just about everything there is. If I may make a suggestion for your friend in the meantime ... Garland tools has a lot of that information stored on their DB. It'll be a slow crawl through all the leve text and the item text, but they can at least get started. http://www.garlandtools.org/db/

While humorous, this seriously would not be far from the truth.

Behold our glorious mismanaging salvation. Here's to hoping she remembers we have a damn link pearl and don't need to go walking back to her desk EVERY DAMN TIME.
