Tiv being tsun as usual.

Apologies to those who had to put up with my downright awful play in EM Titan...you guys would have beaten it if I wasn't dying so much. Maybe I can beat the EM primals at least once before the patch but ehh, I question if it's really worth it.

Thanks to those who put up with my constant questions about crafting, i am finally getting the hang of it.

WTB leves

 

[GraveRobberX]

Got WVR to 50!

Now only BSM & ARM to go, will have all DoH and DOL to 50

Time to go mine a fuck-ton of ore and ash and make ingot for days!

Funny how ARM gets the easy leves and BSM gets fucked over =/

 

[Jayhawk]

I have all the craft classes at 50 since December and haven't touched them since. Maybe I will use them once patch hits. :>

 

[Ken]

crafting haha

ARM seemed a lot worse to level to me than BSM, the items they required for the single turn ins always required a lot of random things, and cost me a lot to level. Guess that is what I get for being lazy and not leveling gathering jobs.

 

[suzu]

I mostly just want to level up crafting cuz of the AF armor, hah.

 

[devious.one]

So I decide to do a CT with someone, and even as a tank there is a 18min wait time...

Bigger question is why are you in CT with the patch a week out!

Swindle a gatherer into getting stuff for you in exchange for gear?

Misery Mora

He's the reason behind my current misery... he dragged me into this shitshow

Although, doing that CT allowed me to witness the first 2014 macro of the year nominee:

No one cares about or does CT anymore this close to the patch. Tanks used to get a CT queue pop almost before the mouse button had popped back up after you clicked on Join. It wasn't so much an instantaneous queue as it was a queue that literally traveled back in time and had you queued even before you actually queued. El Psy Congroo.

 

[chrono01]

Only two hours until the Live Letter!

Also, regarding CT, all I need are the BLM gloves to complete my set. After around 20 runs in the last couple weeks, and not seeing them once, I know I will never have them.

Why would you do that to yourself?

Hey, I got my light pants.


On a serious note, the actual tower itself should be better thought out. Labyrinth of Ancients would've been alot better had it been in from day 1. But it'll still be a nice stepping stone for PS4 newcomers. We really shouldnt be calling it CT anyway, since its just the area outside the tower like in that shot post of III.

I still need the boots to complete the healer set but I'm not planning on setting foot in there ever again, so I guess I'll never complete it. Squenix really, really did not think CT through when they were releasing content. Everything about CT was a huge piece of shit from the day it launched until the day it died.

 

[chrono01]

It's the "completionist" in me. I cannot say "no" to him.

I'll agree with this. Normally, I welcome new content, but I never enjoyed CT, not even my first run through the place and definitely not my 50th. It's just not enjoyable and, given the fact that you're paired with another 16 strangers [sometimes more] the possibility for "trolling" is just too great.

If they would have allowed a full 24-player FC group to run the place, maybe it would have been more tolerable. Maybe. However, as it stands, I kind of hope Square-Enix never releases more 24-player content, at least in the form it's currently in.

 

[Reknoc]

Welp, forgot to cancel my sub in time so uh, bring on the next patch I guess

Woo

Seems like their goal is to have queuing in place for that in 2.3, right when the new CT hits. But that stuff is doomed to LFR tier, and I doubt it will change. They've definitely decided that they want the harder encounters to be focused on 8 players.

That's like reaching into your pocket and finding $20. Except, the $20 doesn't magically manifest and is, instead, deducted from your bank account without your knowing. However, upon looking at the $20 again, you realize it is in, actuality, not $20, but a delicious pizza.

Enjoy your pizza, friend.

As long as it remains that way, I will be happy!

except there's 12 people trying to cut the pizza from the center and 12 people trying to cut it from the crust all tugging at the pizza slicer until it goes out of control and starts slicing people

I will never look at pizza the same way again.

Hear that, CT? You ruined pizza for me. You monster.

Only I've been pizza free for months after getting sick of pizza due to eating nothing but pizza for a few months.


Man now I'm hungry.

 

[Sophia]

I've lost track of how many times I've ran Crystal Tower. Surely it's over 100 by now. That said, I don't actually hate the place. ><;

My condolences.

Unless you actually manage to order [and enjoy] a pizza, in which case, you are welcome!

You are a stronger person than I.

Listening to music in the background helps the tedium somewhat, but I would be lying if I said I enjoyed myself in there. It doesn't seem like I'll have to put up with it much longer, though. I have a feeling once 2.2 hits, that place will be a ghost town. In its current state, it almost already is.

 

[Reknoc]

I liked CT. Really wanted my hat and pantaloons but never managed to get them

My condolences.

Little too early in the day for pizza.

 

[chrono01]

There is always dinner.

Also, 30 minutes until the live letter! I know, I should be sleeping, but I cannot. I must not!

For what its worth, my guild almost always does full or near full parties for Crystal Tower. We can effectively strong arm the run if things are going poorly. Plus being on Mumble all at the same time really adds to the atmosphere.

I honestly have not had that many failed Crystal Tower runs. Most succeed really.

 

[empressdonna]

Titan music <3 so hype live letter

 

[Aeana]

Let's do this live letter thing.

 

[Aeana]

That Gilgamesh music teaser!

 

[Ken]

you guys should be asleep

 

[chrono01]

you guys should be asleep

How could I sleep!?

Also, it's STARTED!!!

 

[Sophia]

you guys should be asleep

Sleep is overrated for a robot such as myself. Let this live letter commence!

Spoiler

I'm sleep deprived atm

 

[chrono01]

OMG that Fat Chocobo mount...

I need it.

 

[Ken]

bring on the glamours and fishing, kagari's favorites

 

[Noi]

AAAH Fat Chocobo!

 

[Aeana]

The fat chocobo mount is so cute I can't

 

[Aeana]

So there's ilvl 90 crafted gear, for people who thought it might not exist.

 

[Ken]

it's...recolored battlemage set? haha

also a new ring model.

 

[chrono01]

Leviathan weapon = ilvl 100?

Wow.

 

[Noi]

iLvl 100 Leviathan weapons, nice!

 

[Aeana]

He's still trying to hide the allagan2 item level. I don't get it.

 

[Sophia]

Poor Yoshida, being reduced to the role of a lowly retainer...

 

[Aeana]

I am looking forward to people rolling on gear in dungeons for their retainers.

 

[Kagari]

Leviathan weapon = ilvl 100?

Wow.

Got to wonder about the stats though. idk seems kinda high considering allagan 1 weapons will still be a challenge to obtain.

 

[chrono01]

Indeed.

Also interested in why they're holding back the ilvl for the Allagan High Staff, unless it's something ridiculous like ivl120+.

Charging 200 yen for additional retainers?

 

[Aeana]

200 yen to hire a retainer, can hire 2 according to the CM.

 

[Sophia]

$2 for an additional retainer. Joy.
