What are fun / challenging things you do?

[Jana]

I wanted to run Ampador Keep with a tank, 2 heals (one WHM, one SCH), and a DPS once. I as all pumped thinking the SCH or WHM could hit cleric stance and DPS the hell out of things.

 

... The DPS was a major buzzkill, however, and it never happened. The sad part is he's from my FC.

 

The most fun I've had in there was a 4-DPS Amdapor Keep, with me as DRG and a MNK-buddy swapping tank roles until the trash died. We were worried we'd fail on the final boss, but baiting out the tail swipe was enough to keep whoever was currently taking aggro alive.

Just so you all know

 

 

I am not OP.

 

[Kellach Woods]

Trying to think of other stupid things I've attempted and succeeded at.

 

YOLO crafting but that's not challenging that's just straight up RNG.

[Sounsyy]

Ironworks Magitek Rod get! And just need a Shonisaurus for my Of Dragons Deep title. Almost have all my pre-2.5 goals met.

 

 

Um, more fun side things to do. So this all started back in 1.0 days, but a few FC friends and I have a running gag where we'll try to get another party member killed during content. Now the rules are, you can't wipe your party and you only get points if the intended target dies. And it's a pretty hilarious game that we're pretty fond of.

 

A few examples:

Back in 1.0 times Cutter's Cry was an extremely difficult 8-man dungeon. So we were almost up to Chimera and there's this pull with 2 Pieste on crack that you normally slept and then booked it to the Chimera sandtrap and zoned. We had a person afk though so we were all staying put at the start of this room. But having a stroke of genius I stepped forward and aggro'd the pieste. My friends who I play this game with stepped forward like idiots (DRG and WHM) and proceeded to AoE, gaining hate. I ran back to the party and sat there and watched them get eaten alive by pieste and because they were the only two with hate, the pieste deaggro'd after they were full of DRG/WHM meat. 2 points for me.

 

Said DRG got me back in early 2.0's AK with the Tank Sacrifice method though. I had gotten all of them to safety into the last boss room but had died outside of Raise range (derp) so I had to run all the way back to die in the proper place. So I'm booking it back to the boss when my friend asks "You almost here?" and like an idiot I say "Almost." This fool triggers the cutscene for the last boss on purpose and freezes me outside with 20 angry mobs on my tail. Needless to say... 1 point for the DRG.

One of my FC mates is determined to get me killed in content that we are super duper serious about (Farms).

 

When we did the 6 tank 2 heals T6, he deliberately didn't break my vines.

 

"Yeah I let Kage die"

"Wat! WRY?"

"Cause you won't marry me!"

"T_T"

"Well, also cause you let me die with ballistics."

"T_T"

 

Pssst I'd save you if you timed your positionals so you weren't a yalm+away fucking it up so I either can't save you in time or you mess up whether or not I can check fast if you're in the circles :c JK I love you.

[Sounsyy]

Sometimes I let my MT get double head from Kaliya cuz it's funny watching a full-sized manRoe get ate.

Does he die?

 

Does your BLM (if you have one) get ate by Bennus? T_T Please don't let yours get ate. T_T

Spectacularly.

[Kage]

I can see the brilliance now.

 

Until the OT dies and Kaliya cleaves us lowly DPS and healers in da face.

[Sounsyy]

There is nothing funnier than watching Kaliya's cleave one-shot 4 people. Then I think about how I soak that hit every time with just one other person and I shudder.

[allgivenover]

- t9/8 solo heal (before 2.4), I wouldn't dream of doing this with third coil. Way too much gear requirement, though it's been done by a Scholar in t10~

 

- Cancel echo buff, kill all the nodes in t2 so that you fight a super-powered ADS that instant cast AOE moves and hits like a truck (though this was right after 2.4, with current average gear this won't be any sort of difficult)

 

Stuff like this:

Clearing T10-11 last night this came up:

 

WHM: "I always laugh when you guys run right up to get cleaved as I stand back here."

NIN: "This is why I go at it from the side"

Me: Fuck that I want all the deeepz.

[Melkire]

NIN: "This is why I go at it from the side"

 

Monk does it from behind.

Tenacious D said something about the Side Hatch, but I can't post that here.

[Kage]

Man I can't even contemplate solo healing T9.

 

Solo healing T10 and T11 and T12 soon?!

 

fuck

[Merri]

I mainly keep busy with FCOB and SCoB Savage. Managed to get T10-13 on farm, and we're picking away at T9 savage at the moment. \o/

 

We're getting close to pushing final phase, which is awesome. That fight is absolutely brutal compared to normal T9, though. The damage dealt is unreal, and the DPS checks are insane. We have two people with their dreadwrym weapons, and the rest of us with i130, and we're still barely pushing golem phases some times. Gotta be incredibly snappy with feeding to keep DPS rolling. Turns into a complete mess if meteors start while the first set of golems are up, as meteors come quicker, fall quicker, and some times you'll have two people get meteors at the exact same time. Makes placement complete chaos some times, haha.

 

Heavensfall is absolutely insane, too. Lasts until 38% instead of 47%, so you have a ton more ghosts to deal with. Plus baiting black holes AND meteors while dodging the reversed orders is nuts. Looking forward to poking into final phase, though. Apparently instead of three dive bomb patterns, there's over ten. And meteors. And double lightning. And ravensbeak with a forced tank swap on top of bahamut's claws. Furthest we've gotten is 42% , but each pull has been getting smoother and smoother.

 

Woo!

Crafting and SBing have pretty much consumed my life when I'm not RPing @_@ I seem to do 30 percent RP these days and everything else is crafting and SBing.

 

I've made millions off materia and it's addicting. I can't stop.

 

...

 

Halp.

I can barely SB a full set of gear before getting bored and needing to do something different.... this may be a contributing factor to how poor I am...

I zone out because I Skype RP as I do it or watch a show in my other monitor

I think I just shipped my pants. @_@

But huge congrats on making it that far! I haven't been able to talk my static into trying Savage. ; ; Maybe when we get FCoB on farm...

[Melodia]

The only thing I have on farm is Halatali normal mode.

Thank you. :>

 

 

It was craaaazy, but, we got our clear tonight! \o/ So hype. Makes T13 look like baby mode in comparison. Such a fun fight. We're going backwards, so, now it's on to T8.

 

 

Dat title, though.

 

[Sounsyy]

OMG Grats! =O

 

Also, I prefer the female version of that title. ;P

[Kage]

Congrats!

 

I still think I suck at Ramuh. So I tell our group we need to clean it up so we don't have to refund because we wiped.

 

OF COURSE IT'S TIME TO SOLO TANK RAMUH...

 

 

Did Shiva for a static members' clear.

 

Roll 39 on pony.

97 beats it ; ;

 

ALSO GUYS. SIX DPS IN IFRIT EX IS THE MOST STUPID THING EVER. There is way too much dps already.

[Aya]

I'm going to add "RPing a Quick Sand barmaid" to this list!

 

It might be the most challenging thing I do in game!

 

(And I know its not supposed to be RP related.. but .. but.. still!)
