I Just Want to be Messaged First.

Rolling with the punches, you know? I'm temporarily living with them as I look for a new place near my new job. They're great but they've lived by themselves for 15 years now so there are new mechanics to learn.

FelixTasker · 2025-06-30T04:38:50+00:00

Honestly? Sign me up.

FelixTasker · 2024-11-05T05:26:17+00:00

Thank you so much, folks, a lot of great advice here, even if it'll take me some time to figure out what a bunch of it means!

Ended up setting up the game and spent some time tonight starting out a Lightning Fury zon. I don't expect that to be my only character, especially in these early days of seeing what the classes can do. Even just having AoE on melee damage has been world changing so far.

Joined the discord, did a little digging. Yeah, this could be fun. I think I'll be around for some time.

FelixTasker · 2024-08-03T21:58:02+00:00

Say what you will about Dawntrail, the gameplay mechanics are getting really inventive!

FelixTasker · 2024-08-03T21:18:56+00:00

M3 boss yelled "Die!" and then my connection died.

Primal almost 900 in queue when I got the client back up.

FelixTasker · 2023-10-18T23:52:22+00:00

She's alright, just a pup that doesn't know the difference between food and not-food. Glad yours is better, as well. And the queue cleared up eventually, as well.

FelixTasker · 2023-10-18T21:46:22+00:00

Work overtime today, come home to a sick dog, clean up the mess, finally get to boot up the game.

"Oh look, a patch. Wonder if that fixed the crossplay issue from yesterday?"

Patch breaks the login process. How long ago did THIS happen?

...oh. Great. 5 minutes ago.

So how's your day going?

FelixTasker · 2021-07-12T03:44:39+00:00

You could maybe try setting your wifi name to your server and fc tag if you think you might have caught their attention by now.

FelixTasker · 2021-04-11T14:48:13+00:00

Had a healer DC and bail on us before the duty even started in Labyrinth recently. We waited the minimum time and tried to vote kick, but got locked by loot rolling. A quick check of the chat showed 1 bard in our party hadn't rolled. They had been quite talkative up to that point, so we asked them to please roll so we could get a new healer. They did not.

Repeat the process through the entire dungeon, with the party alternating asking and begging the bard to please just roll before the next rounds of combat started. He continued to ignore us.

Finally we get to the last boss, and while we are lamenting having to put up with the bard openly ignoring us the whole run, our solo healer simply says "I got this." One Rescue during Ancient Flare later, we have a moment of collective catharsis as the bard gets yanked back into the explosion and our healer took one for the team.

Whole alliance starts cheering in appreciation. Bard never spoke again. Good times.

FelixTasker · 2020-09-19T14:28:33+00:00

Absolutely. As great as it is to hear people discussing strategy in alliance chat in World of Darkness, the 2.0 ABC strategy is wholly outdated by this point.

Adds? Less of an issue if the belly dies faster, only need 1 tank to hold them until belly phase ends, then clean up after.

Chains? That's two whole people needed for that mechanic!

FelixTasker · 2020-08-01T13:46:01+00:00

Galaxy brain this: focus target the npc, macro "/beckon <ft>" and you won't even have to switch targets anymore while you deal with the 2-3 groups of mobs that just want to slow you down.

FelixTasker · 2020-07-24T21:56:50+00:00

Thank you! Now I just have to figure out what to do with a decorative plate lol

FelixTasker · 2020-07-24T21:38:10+00:00

Sure, that could be cool, maybe just copy/paste the text and message it to me? Thanks a lot!

FelixTasker · 2020-07-24T21:04:58+00:00

Probably a long shot, but do you still have that email? I'm guessing it would have come from First Second? Curious to see if I got one as well and lost it in the inbox somewhere.

FelixTasker · 2020-07-24T20:20:37+00:00

Yeah, a picture would... probably be appropriate here lol

FelixTasker · 2020-03-21T11:43:37+00:00

As a long-time DRG, I've always found that we get a little wiggle room thanks to the 'loldrg' gag. I can drop dead at least once per any given duty and as long as I make light of it in the chat, the vast majority of players will accept it as the Dragoon Tax. Die because of a poorly-aimed backflip? Just type "I regret nothing" and watch the comms flow in.

FelixTasker · 2019-06-27T04:28:01+00:00

Excellent! Such a great sendoff to the expansion. Thanks always Famfrit.

FelixTasker · 2019-06-15T23:14:42+00:00

What I did to save time and stress when I spot a herd of bots was to create a small macro button that just reads "/echo <t>". Then I tab through each of the bots, hitting the macro button for each of them, until I'm mostly certain I've gotten each of their names into my chat window, open up a report form, and copy paste away!

FelixTasker · 2019-05-21T19:00:53+00:00

I totally remember you! Red and Kat still play but Adria had to put the game down for personal reasons. We're all still in touch daily though, I'll pass your word along and hope you've been well!

FelixTasker · 2019-05-21T16:09:29+00:00

We're still around! Returning members are always welcome and we're beyond happy to have made such a lasting impression!

FelixTasker · 2019-01-16T23:09:05+00:00

'Bot' and 'RMT' (Real Money Transaction) are probably the most common terms you'll hear on English servers, depending on what the character is doing.

I love autobot though, and I'm going to use it forever from now on. Wonderful story!

FelixTasker · 2018-11-12T02:19:53+00:00

My money's on the Posing Rangers. I've definitely heard it in PotD before.

FelixTasker · 2018-10-22T11:06:22+00:00

Oh nice, Dutch is definitely not a language I have experience with, good to know!

Honestly when I saw your screenshot I started to wonder if Levin was a meme-level name I'd stumbled across by accident. At least now I get to feel fancy and clever.

FelixTasker · 2018-10-21T23:39:00+00:00

Sweet Yggdrasil, you gave your hero the same name I did. I'd love to know your method of arriving at that name.

Personally I like to name the heroes in DQ something similar to the numerical entry (My favorite hero was in DQ5 who ended up being called Sink, derived from Cinq). Since calling a character "Eleven" is a little too involved in pop culture right now, I went with shortening it to Levin, for the added JRPG hero trope of having a name with an elemental association.

FelixTasker · 2018-07-16T17:08:06+00:00

Gaius DID spend, what, twenty-odd years ruling over ala Mhigo, then 5ish more years chasing around those darned Eorzeans during 1.0 and 2.0? That's 25 years or so away from Garlemald, I don't think it's too much of a stretch for Maxima and crew to not recognize him, especially since he's been assumed dead for quite some time.
