What exactly was said? If it was just "lol you need to go in the circle", just take that as joking.

I feel the need to apologize for every "lol rip" I've ever typed.

Plus no one really gives a shit anymore about Syrcus Tower, the only time I might actually get mad is if another team is fucking up the robot placements in Krillin's fight repeatedly.

The last time I cared was when we had a legitimately AFK person tagging along. As in, walked into each boss room and just sat in a corner and did a collective 0 damage across all the trash and bosses.

I'm still pretty sure that was a two-box situation, though.
 
Don't take that experience as being similar to all GAF member runs. Plus no one really gives a shit anymore about Syrcus Tower, the only time I might actually get mad is if another team is fucking up the robot placements in Krillin's fight repeatedly.

I don't get mad, I just get disappointed. In the human race. For being that dumb. Especially when that one moron causes a Scylla wipe by dragging an ice ball AND FREEZING EVERY SINGLE MELEE

nope, not mad.

nope, not mad.

I just consider that a situational awareness check for melee.

They usually fail.

Nobody tells me nothing about what's going on sometimes. What the hell are you guys even doing.

From now on the only person anybody is allowed to poke fun at is Mr. Happy.

Your double negative game is strong, Zeni. I'm on to you.

Also why you gotta be hating on Jersey people all the time?
 
how about the stupid as tank that won't ready check before Atomos in CT and we wipe three times because there aren't enough people to stand on platforms

or when we wipe to Amon in ST because nobody is killing Kum Kums

or when we wipe to Ceberus because nobody is tanking adds

or...


*kills self*

Wow some crazy pages of FC drama.

If anything the only thing I have an issue with is how open people have been about help night becoming "carry" night. I started doing it on Fridays so I kind of feel like I have some ownership of it or something and I don't like the pejorative connotation that comes when people start calling it "free carry Friday" or when Felix says (jokingly? Idk) that there are no learning parties on help night. The whole idea I had for it to begin with was a low stress environment where people could get help and learn battles. The first few ones we'd go whole nights without getting a Titan ex clear!

Not to spam the thread with any more FC talk but I just want to say I 100% co-sign the above.

Besides, it's entirely possible to screw around in MH4, watch Netflix, keep an eye on FC chat, telecommute, and bicker in the OT simultaneously.

MULTITASKING.
 
I don't think it's possible for anyone to fix the douchebaggery that comes with GAF. You just gotta kinda deal with people and their collective personalities just like any other social situation in life.

oh my god, didn't even realize there was an event from Feb. 27 - Mar. 9 where I could log back in and retry the game. disappointed.

I just got the email today which is odd imo.
 
great, thanks guys.

So basically the paladin just stays there sitting pretty while with the warrior you got some more options, is that correct?

Race-wise is there any meaningful difference?

Yes, the basic is that.

Going more in deep there are other significant differences:

- PLD can reduce it's damage for longer and continous periods of times, outside of Shield Oath. With Rampart, Sentinel, Bullwark and the last resort of Hallowed Ground, you can maintain reduced dmg for quite some time, (and you can add Convalescence on top of that). But of course you have to take into account the cooldown, instead WAR dosn't have as many dmg reduction skills, but Inner Beast allows the reduction of damage more constant and more easily avaliable when it's needed, that's the reason that on fights like Odin, WAR is always prepared fo those big attacks, while PLD, without more pin point control of skills, can easily end without skills when needed.

- Hallowed Ground is a very significant difference, since it's great as a last resort or "oh shit!" button. WAR Holmgang is never as useful or effective.

- Storm's Path and Storm's Eye, gives WAR a great utility that PLD just dosn't have, that's why both of them works so well together.

- Also due to Overpower, Steel Cyclone and Vengeance, alongside Berserk WAR is just better when dealing with a huge number of adds/trash. I mean PLD can do it too, but while all he can do is spam Flash, WAR can keep the hate while dealing a decent amount of AoE dmg. (Also infinetly more fun...)

- Although total DPS might be closer between the 2 jobs, the fact that WAR gets such a big burst (but shorter) boost of dmg, makes him ideal for dps races phases or for taking adds faster. Berserk + Storm's Eye + Maim + more critics + Vengeance and your PLD just can't make that extra push of DMG (And WAR can do it while using Defiance and neglecting the penalty on your DPS with Unchained)

The point is, both jobs are quite equal these days, and the reason you might want to MT with one or ther other depends mostly of the content and which fits better for the task. Normally PLD is more apt for the main bosses, while WAR is better for adds, but that's not always the case either.

All this extra OT posting is directly because of all the time doing other things.

- Hallowed Ground is a very significant difference, since it's great as a last resort or "oh shit!" button. WAR Holmgang is never as useful or effective.

Well, there's some niche uses of Holmgang that only work because of Holmgang's cooldown. It can eat the charge in T10 instead of doing the tank swap, for example. But, yeah, Hallowed Ground is just generally a better version since it flat out prevents all the damage.

Promoted in what way?

I think today in T10 our WAR soloed the cyclone with Holmgang?
I like Holmgang more because it helps building LB on Akh Morn.

do you suck at MH4 as much as I do?

if so, gibe friend code

1049-1274-7067

Pretty sure worse. I, uh, didn't find the roll button until like... the end of the second set of quests? and only figured out what the 'switch' in 'switch axe' means after that. I just made it to the second location? I ragequit the egg delivery quest like five times.

I AM SOMEHOW WORSE AT MONHUN THAN FFXIV. I also never play online so if there's some asynchronous thing then 2234-7155-6504 but I have wifi off like 95% of the time.

don't be a gryvan

Is this some mumble thing.

Are we fighting.

Am I winning.

...this is reminding me that I still should get around to figuring out how friend codes and MH4 online works.

One day I hope to be the something something of something. It would look awesome on my business card next to "314th best BRD in GAF".

is this as the Ninja?

I joined for Erin Brockovich discussion
There's nowhere near the fighting going on here, like there was in OG CoP in XI. Feelings got hurt. Words got spoken. Games got deleted.

I've never been ashamed to say that most of the endgame content I've not done a lot of, though now it's mostly the EX Trials and the Coil. I also will rarely watch video's or read strats. Just kills any learning enjoyment from the game. I'd rather get basic strats in game, or just "read and react" to what's going on.

How do you get an NPC in your private quarters like I've seen in some? Is that a retainer or a merchant I see? Whatever it is, does it count towards some maximum for your property?

It's so annoying that it doesn't shoot off as soon as you hit the button, you have to go through the the animation before it kicks off which means rather than using it as a reaction to something you usually end up having to predict if you need it.

One of the NPCs in the housing areas sell NPC Merchant permits.

One of them places a Junkmonger in your house, another a Material Supplier, the third being a Mender.
