Aldotsk

Slight work doodle while I was bored. Left was my RP character for my paladin since Vanilla ver. WoW - Elslie Strumwald, and right is Anelia Sadowyn in her younger age (right before Carteneau). Elslie during her age 16 was a happy cheerful girl and yet a troublemaker, and Anelia at the same age as Elslie was a bit more attitude angst girl, yet serious in her duties due to many reasons.

I'd like to take two of your slots :> if you dont mind~

Will do arts w/ full scale CG art for two characters power level to 50 and story mode completion (2.0) and Atma. kkthx. ... honestly I would but I wouldn't trust people with my account

I really hope those people who keep spamming the /random roll to bid on gil would be punished because they are really getting worse by filling up those chats. Also I do feel sorry for those who can't afford IRL money and has to pay Gil for commission for many personal reasons, and it's not easy really. Commissions irl money for some people who are offering commissions happened to charge $80-$100 irl money but for Gil they were only charging 400k-500k

Go read Shokugeki no Soma. And let me know if you want to kill me /flees

I've been absent on drawing but this is my PSO2 character I did. (I am not playing PSO2 again yet. I felt like drawing her)

One of these reasons I've bought like two to three plots for myself early hand in case if I ever want to use them. I haven't sold any or given them away. I haven't customized either and I am still holding them to see if I can offer for trade to occupy any plots in Ward 7 main division . I do understand that the plots are so limited in Balmung though. I've noticed that some servers are not even filled yet, which is probably why the devs weren't so concerned about making new wards so far

Rubber Bullets sound better for Grindstone. However, as you said - if people can cooperate in what needs to be posted up in RP, I am sure everyone can deal with it. If they feel defenseless, they might as well as use melee (kick/elbow/punch) to sway the enemy away in terms of close combat in case the gun is not within a good range.

Ahyup. That's deep, man. With all that statement said, I guess in terms of bullets - I guess it'll just come down to how people will react to it ICly then. Honestly, I don't mind shooting more than few bullets to knockdown a target or creature if I had to (if I was a ranger/gunner/Machinist even). But how far I can handle people with their creativity in their guns and bullets is another story though. Like if they said something like exploding bullet or "hysteria bullet", I am not sure if I should take it seriously :'/

This is something that was posed to me about the Grindstone, as well. I didn't think a lot about it before then, but I've put a lot of thought into this between Saturday and today. When RPing combat with someone, part of the appeal is the colorful flourish and counter, or the cleverly taking damage without being killed. Gunshots don't leave a lot of room for the Defense Phase of RPing. It's already difficult enough to explain how someone can dodge an arrow in close range (sub thirty feet fulms), and bullets travel far faster. At the end of the day, the posting comes down to "I shoot at you" and then it being either blind luck or inaccuracy on behalf of the shooter to rationalize a miss. This causes obvious problems in a turn-by-turn scenario. When the extent of your actions are 1)it missed 2)it was stopped by armor or 3)it broke armor it removes a lot of the creativity. That's how I feel, anyway. I'm not technically in a position to make declarations for the Grindstone, and I'll pool the regulars to see how they feel, but firearms are a little one-sided when it comes to believable combat. From that bolded letters I've made for your statement, I agree the fact that it's hard to explain arrow vs bullet in terms of combat. Though I still remember back in my high school through college, the guns in the 17th-18th century were musket based and it took longer time to reload and fire at the enemy. (cleaning the barrel and pour the powder to reload and such). In Final Fantasy XII, Balthier used rifle in the game - even though the rifle had such a strong damage ratio, it had the longest delay to aim and shoot within the time sequence comparing to bow and arrow. (I am sure FFXI did have most rifles to have delays too). Though I disagree with people using and deadly arms in Grindstone, but I don't run the event so I can't say what should be implemented in the match.

I always wondered about how people would take Roleplayers with guns/muskets in combat. Would you say that it's considered as overpowered comparing to knives/swords/shields/arrows or even magics? At this point, we'll see plenty of Musketeer/Machinist roleplayers who'll be wanting to wing the pistols at their opponents. So I feel that it's something that should be concerned in the future of how we want to approach to this.

What have you been growing in there!? You played Jumanji too much @@ I think tree lines seem more convincing to make it uber jungle in this case.

How deadly are these muskets in Eorzean lore? Are they considered as lethal where it can be bullet piercing, or considered "One shot, one kill"? I am not sure if people discussed this before, but I've seen some people ICly roleplaying as unofficial Musketeers and now some pre-made Machinist or at least rangers with rifles/guns. Also there has been some Garlean roleplayers with their musket/rifles too. Since Musketeers -do- exist in lore and have been proven many times like Reyner in Limsa and the Lalafell Yellowjacket member in Rogue quest story, along with Admiral Merlwyb. What can we say about the guns? Considerably, I've seen in Armorer's quest where Merlwyb using her pistol to test the strength of the armor, and it took several shots for the armor to wear down. So I think it's proven that the guns in Eorzea are not as deadly as it seems. More that the bullets are pellet based and requires several shots.

You should post some screenshots here, too! It's what the thread is for, after all! Show off your Doman sense of style~ :thumbsup: I'll see what I can do tonight, I am currently not at home to take any screenshots - but yes you are right.

If you ever do need to know how the flooring might look, feel free to check out my FC house (Mist Ward 7 Plot 5) - and in Mizuho's room. It has all of the new Doman/Japanese style of furnishings so you might get some ideas. (Including the Oriental bathtubs too).

Oh, so I guess it's not 100% confirmed whether the expansion will upgrade the house furnishing slots or sizes of personal room yet unless they expect us to buy a whole new plot. (I wish they wouldnt make us buy the plot again). As for the straws, by around mid 2.5, it'll go lower. Tatami Mat for pre-2.4 was 800k-3.8 m gil then it dropped to 300k-800k. Now it's less than 300k for most part. The dimension is quite bigger than Oasis Carpet. It's as wide as the Glade bathtub in terms of dimension. However, rather than having multiple tatami mats, flooring is best option should anyone go for real Japanese esque type of floorings. It's just waste of furnishing slots.

I know the feeling. Coral is planning to upgrade to a larger manor come Heavensward... so I'm been REALLY iffy on trying to the get the tatami flooring and the ARM forge (since you can't pick them up again once placed). The fact that the tatami floor cost in the millions to pick up on the AH at advent helped keep me from making an impulse purchase too. :blush: If you actually just purchase the mats, it costs less than 300k. I've gotten three of the Tatami flooring and have spent at least 900k total for all three. Also if you need the rug version of tatami, I have 3 spares if you want any. Was there confirmation that housings of large plots will get bigger with larger furnishing slots?

UPDATE - 2/3/2015 Hiatus - Due to health issues, I'll be putting myself on hiatus on extension. I am not sure when I'll be back, but it's IRL concerns. Whether I am going to recover or not is unconfirmed as of right now. Updated the thread with Lores, RP Combat, Injury, and RP level. Updated the Arcs.

While I've been hiatus away from RPing, and RPC majorly. I've not forgotten about this thread. I've finally had some chance to respond. According to what everyone has said in regards to Sworns in this thread, especially what Natalie said - she is right about one thing. When you create a character, you can feel free to start as "I am a Sultansworn" without doing trials OOCly or ICly at any time. And then you be creative about how you became one before 2.0 or during 1.0. However it is not obligated to any of veteran players to accommodate all the time by doing the trials for you and training etc and such. You can just be creative and do the trial yourself in your own plot (Like being trained by Jenlyns or doing the trials under him or ABC XYZ). I understand that you want to focus your character, and if I wasn't on hiatus... I'd definitely accommodate for you, but I am not RP active as much anymore. ICly, Anelia re-did her trials for reinstatement and then went missing ICly because I OOCly wanted to go on hiatus. I did not ask anyone to do the trials because 1. I had been busy with my own schedule IRL 2. Timing was not always right between me and others. 3. I was busy looking after my FC. It's not the -best- way to go when I could have done something to work with others and interact by gaining character relationship/developments with others... but that's not what I wanted since everyone and I had disagreements yet also some schedule conflicts. So other best method is to just be creative and write a story or tell others about how you completed the trials. They have their own things too. Like some others said in this thread, we aren't really NPCs. But you can just be creative to make your own character and you can try to brainstorm on how you became a Sultansworn. However, this is indeed Sultansworn discussion thread. So it's not always bad to ask questions on how you can become a Sultansworn, since this discussions and informations can be useful for newcomers too who read this thread. But just try not to ask questions that goes beyond the Sultansworn related discussions. For that part, it is for you to decide how you want your character to turn out

Haters gonna hate. I'll RP in this outfit if I have to.

Thancred in his younger days. It was a quick 3 min sketch during work.

I don't think Melkire deliberately tried to call you that, but I do agree with some part in what you said, Berrod. As long as you are okay with what they give, you the more power you have of course. I am just that person who is very nitpicky in every outfit I wear, and I have no room in my Armory Chest space since there are too many clothes to wear like a Barbie. But regardless, there were like 4-6 outfits that I wanted them to release it as dyeable and craftable and yet glamourable for all classes as a social outfit.
