I can't get a Crossbone Booster, but I did see a few Meteor Hoppers

So that Gundam X Maoh I've been tinkering with has seriously gone through some changes. It went from a stock X Maoh with just Kampfer weapons to Head: Gundam X Maoh Eyes: Wing Gundam Fenice Arms: Gundam X Maoh Torso: Fenice Rinascita Legs: Build Burning Gundam Weapons: Kampfer Amazing, GM Cardigan, Victory II Gundam, Wing Zero, Rinascita I think what I'm going to do is keep the weapons interchangeable, make loadouts for it to play around with since I can't make up my mind.

I always loved Dozle...

I always loved Bright Noa, right now I'm working on getting my hands on an Adele from AGE since that was the coolest looking suit from that series. Why do they have to have the grunt suit with the head I like the most!?

I recommend starting older then working your way up. MSG, Zeta, I don't recommend ZZ even though I liked it, I don't think other people would enjoy it, but hey if you wanna give it a shot go for it. Move onto things like 0080 and 0083, these are really good and makes you wonder if the bad guys really are bad or not. Gundam has a neat way of making people on the other side seem more human than other anime series do, and it seems the most evil people are politicians or businessmen. So in short. Gundam 0079 Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam 0080 War in the Pocket 0083 Stardust Memory (Oh god please watch this, it's so entertaining despite being so short.) Gundam F91 (I have not seen this one yet, so I'm not sure) Crossbone Gundam (I have only seen a little bit of it.) Char's Counterattack (Even though people say it's great, lower your expectations or characters like Quess Parya and Hathaway will ruin it for you.)

So I was browsing around online when I noticed I could order some of the older kits from retailers that are still in the states. Found a website that has a GP03 Stamen in stock, I've always wanted to put one together. (No I will never assemble the flying brick known as the Orchis...) Though right now I am working on a customized Gundam X (Using Gundam X Maoh as the frame, and swapping out parts as I go) and I discovered some really neat tricks to force parts to become compatible. Right now I am going to be giving it Wing Zero (HGAC from the tv series, not endless waltz) arms, and I figured out that if I take the ball-joint polycaps from another gundam, stick them on a peg and shave it down and insert it into the zero's arm socket, I can force a connection while still keeping everything compatible with old and new parts. I'm finally getting the hang of customizing, now it's moving on to paint once I get some pictures rolling out. Though right now have a picture of my gundam with his new weapons :3

Call me cuddle bug and I'll be your waifu.

Well, in the past I did once, but after realizing how bad I felt for it, I never did it again because people liked the character.

Let's talk about organizing a tertiary RP server

Sorry for the late reply, but Delve and and most other 18 man content involved scholars stun locking the bosses. -
Let's talk about organizing a tertiary RP server
Melphina replied to Flickering Ember's topic in FFXIV Discussion
In truth it takes persistence for people to take you seriously, as anything would really jeopardize your progress in establishing a community. But no server has the right to demonize RP'er's just because they want to unwind from the mind numbing grind. While I used to grind all the time on FFXI, I had no real opportunities to RP, it was horrible on Ragnarok, and a lot of people were shamed out of roleplay because even though the content was severely easy when we just had to stun lock bosses and shift damage over here and there, we were always made fun of because of our lack of interest in content. Now that FFXI's final update is coming in November, I wonder if it'd be a better place now to RP, because I was trying to hold an RP night at the Marble Bridge in Upper Jeuno, and a group of players from a single linkshell came in and started spamming our chats until we just gave up and left since they kept coming on alts and we kept blacklisting them. Either way none of them play now probably, I may go and give it a chance depending on how November looks -
Let's talk about organizing a tertiary RP server
Melphina replied to Flickering Ember's topic in FFXIV Discussion
So far from what I am reading, a lot of the people that don't RP grief RP'er's because it gives them a satisfaction for making fun of people that get a retreat from reality. People in particular are those that spam holy or AoE's in the Quicksand, which I've seen once or twice when I first started playing. This kind of bullying and shaming is what hinders the advancement of roleplay on other servers, and if people could just accept and forget, they would be able to grow substantially on their own without having to move at all. -
No seriously, server doesn't matter, glad to have you here.

What you need to do is organize currently existing members on these servers to give RP a try, then once people start to notice it on the server and if people aren't griefed out of it, they'll give it a chance. That's the only reason Balmung has flourished is because it's a like-minded community where everyone is ok with everyone RP'ing. Unfortunately this is not the case on other servers (Especially some of the legacy servers, I've noticed that some of them have really nasty people just looking at their forum posts on the official forums.) The problem is getting around that, if someone can get into a long-lasting RP group and also make it a positive experience, others will imitate this. Start by holding RP events, encourage it, make it rewarding. It only takes one person to really make it worth imitating. If people go "I don't know how to RP" Tell them it's ok, we all begin somewhere, and a lot of people who have never RP'd, could contribute so much just by how good they could become. It's really amazing how someone who has never RP'd can fool people into thinking otherwise. It truly is. Hell people never thought of RP'ing on Halo PC, but by god thanks to clans who made it a happy experience and kept a watchful eye for griefers, along with people who were producing content such as my friend OpsY who made the best RPG maps, it became a possible thing. So for someone to turn a game that was never intended for role playing purposes, and turn it into that, that's saying something. Do I think that people should leave to join the servers? Not at all, each server has a healthy population, they just sit in the endgame places. Getting them to move around will help out everybody, as while you're roleplaying, you're breaking up the monotony of grinding. I think that'll help with the lack of current endgame content I keep reading about. Just break it up with roleplaying, that'll help so much. -
I really hope that Gundam doesn't stay like that the entire series, that waist just irks me.
-
Why you turn sideways!?
-
So I am at my grandpa's house right now, but I am overall very happy with how this thing turned out. Once I figure out what color I want to use on it, I'll get on to painting it.
-
ugh so maybe different ideas I want to put on this thing!!! It's driving me muy muy loco
-
I've heard that too, but only from time to time.
-
I'll have pictures of my Nu Gundam up shortly, so far it's looking pretty good. Still working on the paint I want to use on it, I can't think of anything that'd be good, and my mind keeps running to red....I don't want red dangit!!!
-
So right now while I have a list handy. I'm using parts from Nu Gundam Lightning gundam Powered GM Cardigan Gundam Alex Sazabi I could potentially give it Victory 2's beam saber, but idk
-
I'm actually giving my Nu model elements from 0080 in the form of one of arm-mounted Gatling guns, though I'm also giving it Sazabi's shotgun-like weapon. I never was a fan of fin funnels, I just view them as a cheap way for a main character to rapidly dispatch grunt suits, and my preference is leaning towards the back mounted cannon. If I can figure out how to I plan on making a storage rack for a spare weapon behind the shield, but then again that might be a bad idea sinc shields were typically the piece of MS equipment to get ripped apart the fastest
-
You have excellent taste, I would have worked on a Gerbera Tetra however for the life of me I can't seem to find any kind of kit. I typically do HG models, but I've been thinking of going to do something much bigger since I've gotten practice.
-
I've been looking for a good Tallgeese kit, I love that more rough look it sports as opposed to a gundam.
-
Maaaayyyybe.... Well right now I've assembled about 90% of my Nu Gundam kit (It's an HG) and to be honest I've been trying to customize it. This morning before I went to work I solved an issue wherein I was unable to put a back-mounted weapon except its trademark fin funnels if I wanted to give it a full backpack, and this morning I managed to make a hole good enough for a snug fit for a back-mounted cannon. I'm going to probably add a little more, then it'll be time for sealing and paint
