Now!?
!!! I should do that!
If that was a guy in the group, abandon the group now. That morale is going to crash and burn and explode into little pieces that are going to light on fire once more.

I finally submitted an application. Jesus, it took me forever to find a GAF member in game, lol. Hopefully I didn't mess anything up in the application.

you running with nana's group?
Just want to throw this in, but flank attacks are often doable if you do it as you are running through the enemy. There is a delay on the enemy spin and the server will accept it as a flank move. This was really useful back on old DRG to get the HT buff while soloing, but it can still speed things up slightly while soloing now. I've never seen it work with back attacks though, maybe if you were lagging really hard and harnessed it's power for your own good for once.

I'll see you all next month probably! I will probably need a static before next patch. If I even plan to raid.
Is there even any left to join?
I've seen some new groups spring up in anticipation for Midas, so yes.
Eh, there are openings from time to time when people leave, have to take a hiatus from raiding, new groups form etc etc.
For example, I'll probably have to take a raiding hiatus sometime this year. I'm going to try to make a move, and I doubt I'll be able to raid until after I'm settled in and all that.
Hey! Hey! That's great!
Join Natasha's group?
Get a Gilgamesh sale. Everyone is eagerly awaiting your post-A4S treatise on the intricacies of the White Magicks.

A look at the new Samurai class for the 4.0 expansion.
A look at the new Samurai class for the 4.0 expansion.
Somebody in Ultros PF was selling A4S recently.
Not advocating buying it and i dunno if anybody has yet, just saying we're now apparently a real grown-up server.
(A4S demoralization is a real problem though. I want to say it was less than a week before our first clear that we had a bad night of final phase #mechanics and Rin went all Debbie Downer "I don't know if we can clear at this point" whining. The important thing at that point is to tell them to stop being stupid because unless you're hitting the exact same problem every run, it's all just learning.)

I don't miss this shit.
I live for it. It's great for throwing in their faces later, and frankly nothing snaps me out of a slump more than getting to yell at people.
I am unable to give updates to group when people don't log on in-game, or only log-on when I log off to play Mumble GAF Civ V. I have been appointed new raid group leader for next cycle. I should probably change linkshell name to something that isn't "RIP Apolly".
The stick-to-it-itivness of A4S is pretty hard. You need everyone to give a shit about clearing the fight to make any sort of headway. That's the true challenge.
I imagine there were be a bunch of static reshuffling for 3.2 going on. Depending on how things work out I may end up on the waiver wire myself, so it should be an interesting time.
I have a new idea for the Gaf Air linkshell name!

Hey, for context that was more of a clear that week pre-reset and not ever! D:
Jokes aside, it's sort of good to have somebody to balance it out. I went a bit deep-end thinking "fuck, this just went out of reach" but then we didn't care and killed it shortly after.
You should totally PM me if you ever need anything (or expect me to log in and start caring again this weekend, whichever comes first).
Did we ever find Apolly? I don't remember.

If it's the group I think it is, somebody from the same FC (who has also cleared A4S) as the raid leader of the group selling it called BS, arguing that nobody on Ultros can sell A4S yet (without playing your account). And there's apparently only been one successful A3S sale. That was a week or two ago, might have been more since, I don't know.

Oh, I assumed it was going to be a logging in and playing your account thing. I know basically nothing about the Ultros sales scene beyond what I randomly see in PF, just thought it was interesting.

Hello guys I am a tad lost and google ain't helping a lot.
I just reached level 50 but I still have no idea how to access Heavenward content or how to unlock Harder dungeons or the primal battles. I just got a level 50 quest to do the sunken temple of quarn (lv 35 dungeon) seems to be a MSQ from minfila.
I have the Relic Reborn quest but I'm not sure if I want to drop 240k on the item the NPC is asking.
I also have 500 tomes of poetics and don't know if I should use them for something or wait for the quest rewards, because as I understand this is all pre-expansion stuff and I am afraid HW rewards will be better than whatever I get now
help!

The quest asking you to do Qarn is part of MSQ so do it and follow the quest line.
Don't bother with Relic Reborn. You can drop Poetics on Ironworks gear and Carbontwines at Mor Dhona. It's i130 and can last you until level 55 or 57. Otherwise you can buy i110 (?) whites in Heavensward and use HW dungeon greens.
The quest where you have to do Qarn is what you are looking for. You are in a quest chain around patch 2.1 or 2.2. You have to play the main storyline all the way through 2.55 before you can access heavensward stuff (if you've bought the patch though, you will get experience past level 50 which is good).
I wouldn't bother with the relic reborn quest or spend any of your tomes. The quests will gear you for now.

Thanks guys you have both been most helpful.
Also I think I now grabbed some quests for some harder versions of the earlier dungeons in Revenant's toll, in the Inn, some NPCs I talked to seem to be sending me to the same dungeons.
I love the story in this game and quite frankly this is the first MMO, since The Secret world that I read quest text.
Yes, you will want to do those hard mode versions of earlier dungeons at some point. They will be great leveling tools and you'll have to complete them all once to unlock the various daily roulettes.
Glad to have someone else who enjoys the story. Some of these losers around here skip cutscenes.
Ain't nobody got time for PMs! I have borders to protect against warmongering lalafells. I don't know how one can get that late into the game with 0% literacy.
I believe in you guys. Still what... 1 1/2+ months until 3.2? That's a decent amount of time if you go in on a regular basis.

No I really like it, honestly this game was a big surprise for me. I just hope there aren't any more subligars as high end rewards because I refuse to use it no matter how high the stats are

I would log onto my alt for that but alas I have to leave for work before then.
So, what is everyone up to in game while waiting on 3.2?
I've been spending more time with Fallout 4 since I can't log on for more than 5 minutes without getting bored.
Relic still sitting at 40+/80 since Christmas. Lol.

I do 1 to 3 roulettes (50/60/Expert) depending on how I feel to make tiny progress towards anima. Maybe do some A4N too and then I spend the rest of my day cycling through ventures or looking at my character's thighs while listening to FC play Civ V.
