Haha! It's true, I should just say that my sense of direction sucks and have that be it. Smiley: laugh I took a wrong turn at Leaping Lizzy yesterday and couldn't figure out how I got into Dangruf Wadi. ^^;;

Gustaberg is the reason I live in Bastok! It's flat, you head in one direction to get out, the other to get in. It's impossible to get lost. And the coolest thing is that if you do manage to get lost, you'd never know it cos it all looks the same anyway ^^

The fact that you can get stuck in potholes and crevices in La Theine (I nearly ghettowarped to get out of that I can tell you!) and you have to negotiate round a completely unnecessary cluster of cliffs in Tahrongi Canyon right outside the zone to Sarutabaruta make me hate Sandy and Windy with a passion.

Windy especially. Once you cross Tahrongi's unnecessary cliffs and Saruta, you are faced with a city that was designed by a monkey on crack! The nation's embassies are in totally seperate areas, and everything is so far spaced out, I need to stop for lunch travelling between the mog house and the AH. One area is so far spaced out (with nothing of interest in it I might add!) it needs 2 maps!

Not to mention the area names leave you with no clue as to what to find within. Windurst Woods?! The whole fekkin town is in the woods! With the exception of Port Windurst I have no clue where I'm going.

Drunk and stupid people that are used to Bastok (Bastok MINES, Bastok MARKETS, PORT Bastok) like myself need this crap spelled out for them.

I feel so much better for that ^^

Hopefully the person I tried to help last night doesn't feel bad about this, cause both times it was just my bad luck.

But something that sucks is my bad luck.

Last night, I was LFG for over 2 hours with no bites. /sigh

So I remembered a shout I saw about someone needing G1 paper. With Carby I can solo the Liches so I figure I'll go help.

I've had the paper drop within 2 kills, but last night I was there for a good 2-3 hours with no drop. That sucks.

I died because an EP with high evasion aggros me. Settle for Raise 1, 2k xp loss.

I died again because I was stupid, didn't fully heal when I should have, cause by now other people were taking Liches. I get aggro'd by having low HP. Settle for Raise 1 again, 2k xp loss.

So all in all, a good 5 hours wasted and 4,000 xp loss on the night.

=/

In that forum you can post a topic requesting that the multiple posts be nuked. Just title the thread "Multiple-posts in Bismarck Thread. Nuke please." and they'll get rid of them.

Might wanna give 'em the link to this thread though. Smiley: wink2

Actually, to make things easier, here's the link to this page:

La Theine sucks so bad. I died so many times there as a nooblet, trying to get to Sandy and falling down some bloody ditch or another, and getting lost and stuck until an aggroing orc ate me.

Everyone seems to get lost in Bastok. I really don't see why, they just do.

You might try setting it to Quartermaster, if that's the rules you're using.

Leveling BLM to 17 so you can sub BLM and Warp back to town when fishing. Then going out to your fish spot, fish for 3 hours and notice your 49 bst/blm is 8 MP short of casting Warp.

Oh god Mosh, I feel so bad for you but that's completely hilarious. XD

My contribution: When you're using Ventrilo or Teamspeak and everyone is happily chatting away until somebody gets pissed for some reason or another. Then everyone is afraid to say anything for fear of setting whoever is pissed off even more and things are really tense for a while. :( This seems to happen way too much. And it makes me sad.

Reminds me of the Flame thread, and a short conversation Sioux and I had therein.

Sometimes someone says something and it just hits a raw nerve.

Like so: O.O

In the flame thread you really do just have to step back and take a breather.

I'd honestly recommend the same for Ventrilo and TS. Heck, even LS chat too.

Not particularly profound, and certainly not a new idea, but its no less effective for it.

Uncomfortable silences blow. Smiley: mad

- Cure III being so slow that two RDMs casting the spell can't save a poor little Taru WHM from being beaten to death by 3 Korroloka Leeches, even AFTER a 68 DRK smacks them with AOE ;_;

- Refreshing Sneak in front of Greater Pugils ><

- Staying at work despite the school being closed at 2 PM EST.

- Being the Taru WHM in that situation.

(But you know I didn't mind taking one for the group, and I'm happy you all got the key item for that quest. ^^) <3~

Not being able to run up the steps in ordells cave...I hate getting stuck on a 6 inch step.

Having a choco that can jump off a cliff no problem only to get stuck on a rock that he cant step over.

Getting let into a mog that I haven't rented...standing there saying to myself..."Where's Moggle"

Repeatable quests that make you zone before giving the quest again.

Incredibly narrow minded individuals who, when they can't have things their way, will spout out just how moronic they are:

"Omg, wtf, a galka mage. Get a real job"

Listen tiny taru. He got his job to that high of a level and rank for a reason. He's damn good at what he does. If your only comeback is that, than I'd like to see every taru melee come over and kick your lil' behind for being such a close-minded idiot and for ridiculing someone who obviously can do a better job than your lazy self.

*sighs*

My my... I've been all riled up.

Yeah I saw that. I hate that mentality. We have a new Galka RDM in our linkshell. I'd like to see him take it high level, but asshats like that aren't going to make his experience any more pleasant.

People are afraid enough to try new things without this kind of crap. Can you imagine this attitude when Zilart 1st came out?


NIN: Hey guys, I got an idea, let me try tanking the next mob.

This goes both ways. I am tired of listening to ppl using the "Skillz > Equipment > Race" tirade. Some ppl kept trying to use their "skills" to justify their horrible race/job combo. They always assume that no one could play their jobs right. Therefore their crappy job/race combo is ok, because they got the "skillz".

No matter how good you are or what kind of godly equipment you have, you'll never beat another player with the same skill and equipment as you but with a better race choice.

Someone might have a galka mage. That's hardwork. This does not in anyways show that Galka mage comes even close to a Taru mage.

If you can't admit that Taru mage > Galka Mage, you've got issues.
