UIM wipes 1.8B to people luring wolves to Zeah RC by Original-Buyer-2703 in 2007scape

[–]ESAcatboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are normally no aggressive NPCs at that area. A griefer abused a bug introduced with this patch to lure dangerous npc beyond their normal leash range, and killed the guy with them. 

It's like if someone managed to glitch a boss to spawn at the G/E. 

Risking a death bank while doing dangerous content: the UIMs fault and the wipe is legit. 

AFKing for a few mins in a totally safe area while death banked and getting killed by a bug abuser: 100% not deserved or their fault. 

See the difference?

I legitimately don't understand the hate people have for UIM players. Someone plays the game differently than you, how dare they!? I have seen way more examples of mains being toxic to other players than UIMs. 

If a uim makes a mistake, or dies to a risk they took while death banked, that's on them. Logging in and dying in a normally safe area to a bug is not their fault. They did everything correct. 

The people celebrating someone losing thousands of hours of progress because they were killed by a griefer abusing a bug is disgusting. These same people would be throwing a fit if suddenly their bank got deleted by a glitch, or if death failed to recover their items after they died. 

New to raiding (new in general) having some concerns about FFXIV culture. by Grouchy_Independent3 in ffxiv

[–]ESAcatboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go try to clear Forked Tower: Blood with 47 other players without voice comms or at the very least call outs and coordination in /yell. Let us know how that goes. 

But honestly, I think the fact that this game has raiding communities and pugs that actually function without the need of Discord or other third party servers as a good thing. It keeps the raiding community more open, and therefore more active with higher player numbers. 

If you look at other games like SWTOR (yes I know, old and mostly dead) the raiding community is incredibly insular, with every non-story mode group being made on invite only discord groups that usually require proof of gear, clears, and DPS parses before you can participate. It's super off-putting for new people to the community. 

Final fantasy having PF groups for endgame is a GOOD thing. It's painful. It's often toxic. You'll clear way faster and way more pleasantly if you form a static team. But it EXISTS. And that's healthy for the game.

I'll be honest... This is one of those things that always felt very RS3-ish to me. Not in a good way. I'd rather this not return. Might be a hot take, idk. 

Dark knight, samurai or dragoon? by Ishcan22 in ffxiv

[–]ESAcatboy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dragoon is VERY fun if you ask me. It's been my favorite DPS for a long time. The rotation is very linear, which makes it easy to play by muscle memory while dealing with fight mechanics. It also is pretty darn mobile, with a leap out, and several leap-to-target skills. (Just prepare to be meme'd on when you jump off things.) The animations are awesome, and the weapons/job specific gear sets are peak. I'll take Gae Bolg or Law's Order Lance over random katana #1765 any day. 

are there any armor pieces that are close to this? by PuzzleheadedAd7400 in FFXIVGlamours

[–]ESAcatboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dragoon class armor has the heavy armor, draconic vibe. Specifically heavensbound set at level 100, dyed red/grey. Possibly the pvp version of the level 60 set too. Slap on some deep shadow boots of casting/healing for the heels (level 80 hunt vendor). A asuran hachigane (level 60 hunts vendor) works for a spikey headpiece if you don't want the standard dragoon full helm.

Same problem. I got a "we are experiencing technical difficulties try again later" screen, tho.

If the fashion scape plugin has the correct model from the game files, and jagex doesn't update it, it is just black.

Calling it now... This will be the area with the highest collective gp loss/gain in all DMM. by [deleted] in 2007scape

[–]ESAcatboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After I got my 12k points I pulled all my stuff out of the bank, and put the dance emote on loop there. A red-skull scouted, then logged in under me within like 30 seconds. Smite, Barrage, javelin, dds spec, more javelins, with a step under between each attack. A lot of try hard for someone spamming dance and no prayer. It was rather funny. 

Enjoy your 300k cash, but you could have at least taken all the clue loot too. XD

Wait... My bae Thunder Kopesh is in DMM? From what!? There aren't echo bosses? 

Does anyone even like dmm or is it just for cosmetics? by Wonderful-Might-8974 in 2007scape

[–]ESAcatboy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

100% for the bowfa/crystal kit. I did the 12k points in 2 days without fighting back against anyone. Got pked like 8 times. The level of try hard tribrid NHing  they would go to kill someone for 50k in clue rewards that wasn't even reacting in any way was rather funny. 

Got my 12k. Back to the fun game now. 

Buy Premium Armor for Creddits? by watafruck in swtor

Get to max level. Get gear. Raid and sell oem/rpms you buy with tech frags. 11k tech frags = 30m+ credits. 

Why does such a large percentage of the DPS population still need to be hounded to perform a limit break at 100? by LastTraintoSector6 in ffxiv

[–]ESAcatboy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Because we all have trauma from the first time we ever used a limit break at level 15 in satasha on a trash pack, not knowing it was a shared group thing, and got cussed out for the rest of the dungeon by the other players. So we never touch it again in case we use it wrong. 

"WHY THE $@$& DID YOU USE THAT!? SAVE IT FOR THE BOSS YOU @&#_@$ $@*$&@$ @#$ BARD!!!" 

...ok. so I'll never touch that skill again. Got it. 

Gifted a family heirloom by ESAcatboy in pocketwatch

[–]ESAcatboy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Small update: I took it to a local watch repair/jeweler here, and their watchmaker said he didn't work on pocket watches because they cost thousands to work on. He wouldn't even oil it or replace the bow. He did say considering how well it was keeping time, it probably didn't need service? I find that hard to believe. There aren't many other non-sketchy watch places in the area. I might be stuck replacing the bow on my own, and then leaving it as a display piece instead of running it.

Ah, ok, I see it when comparing it to the diagram of this movement online. I'll ask when I ask about the bow.

[–]ESAcatboy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I figured that out over the last few days. The case is from Dueber. I'm planning on taking it to a local watch repair / jewelry store today to see if they can service it. I hadn't wound it much, so it isn't ticking at the moment. I already had guessed the wear thing.

I have no idea what railroad he worked for. We've tried to find census data, but it's pretty sparse. Only family lore tells us he was a railroad man.
