Sea! Alright!

Ok! First things first! Sea: Complete! :D Finally our "static" has access to Sea. It was rather random but we finally managed to set a date to do Airship and stuck with it. Thanks to Tuuf for waking up at 4am to help us on the other side of the ocean~ As far as the actual Sea report goes, all I have to say is {Too Weak}. I hear all these horror stories of how hard and difficult it is, then I hear even worse ones that a PLD can't tank it. Well to that I say wrong! Seraphpdh did one hell of a job tanking Omege/Ultima. Not only did it go well, but we beat it with relative ease! Read Tuufless' blog for info on the actual Airship fight. After the fight we were all so excited and happy. Tuuf decided to go to lunch while the rest of us finished our cutscenes and prepared for the NMs and Tenzen fight. After our long time running around we took a break and Sao had to do some yardwork with her mom while the rest of us just chilled out. By the time we go underway to kill the NMs Tuuf was back so he decided to come along to help. His help was greatly appreciated however, there was also another party that was doing the same NMs we were. Normally any other day I'd gladly help them out but after the long day we had, I just wanted to get this all done and relax. Tuuf however offered our help and so we did just that and helped them beat all the NMs. It was nice helping each other out and all but this brought back memories of a previous CoP mishap. A while back during Riverne Site B#01 Tuuf organized a dual-LS run at it despite mixed feelings on the whole run. When we were getting ready to do the actual fight, Tuuf and his companions decided to split up the parties for optimized fighting ability. Well the problem was that none of our LS Static wanted to split, we wanted to do it as a LS with people we know and have fun with it. In the end however after drama we agreed reluctantly to splitting. Anyway, that ended horribly and it was a few weeks later that we actually beat B01 with our original LS Static. Now back to the Dual-Party run:
After the NMs were defeated we were all getting ready for Tenzen. Again Tuuf wanted to split us up for maximum fighting force. Now I respect the idea behind it but he should of learned from last time that we didn't want to split. Now there was major drama with members screaming back and forth, but what upset me the most is that no one backs Sao and I up when we have a problem with something. It always seems like Saoirse is being a bitch and I'm defending her because she's my gf. I am really sick of how people don't say what they are thinking. It's to the point where Sao and I don't even want to do things with people anymore. So after Sao and I caved in, Tuuf tried to organize the parties around... Well here is where it gets retarded. After ALL that drama, we ended up with the SAME EXACT STATIC pt -_-. @#&@%$*^ So I was in a foul mood, however I still wanted to get this done because Chummy delayed driving home a few days so we could get this done and I wasn't going to let the drama interfere with that.

So we went on to fight Tenzen. We lost. The problems were mostly the 3 Taru casting on us as well as Chummy and I not SCing correctly. So in the end we died. Well at this point is when one of the other parties players decided to go to bed. This left us in a very difficult spot. There were 6 people who needed the Tenzen win but it wasn't the most functional party. Tuuf sat this one out and we went in with PLD MNK SAM SAM BRD and Sao came as her 61 BLM to cure Seraph. Well after all our 2HRs and so forth we managed to own Tenzen. We were so happy to finally have this done and when the cutscenes were over, we were in Sea. ^^ It looks great, we plan to explore it tonight hopefully after Seraph gets out of Sky. Now this brings me to future CoP missions. I do not want to break the static, but I'm not going to organize anything either. Tuuf has made it clear that he has intentions of quitting the game, so this throws a wrench in CoP if he decides to go off on his own again when he feels he's done with the game. The static as it stands is Seraph, Chummy, Saoirse and I. If they want to do a mission I will gladly do it with them, I won't go off and beat CoP without them. So that is currently how it stands D: In the end, the Airship fight was nothing like the horror stories I've heard.

So Congratulations TR! ^^v

FFXI Boredom

Well where shall I start, it's been a while since I've posted on here so a lot has happened. Unlike most of the blogs I've read, I don't feel the need to spell every minor detail out for potential readers so I will go over briefly what has happened.

First of all, I must say E3 was awesome XD. Driving to LA went a lot smoother then I thought and we got there rather early, (took only 5hours to drive there). Once we got there we spent a good 1-2hrs looking for our hotel. We ended up driving through Chinatown like 6 times before we realized our hotel was IN Chinatown. So we get up to the front desk and find out that our hotel room was cancelled. Confused as we were, the front desk didn't seem to even care that it was cancelled. As we pressed them about this they basically just said "Well someone cancelled it." We told them it wasn't us, its not like other people can just cancel it. Whats worse is they weren't going to fix it -_-. Anyways after another hour of cussing and manager conversations they decided to give us the room for the night and figure the rest out the next day. So anyways we get to our room and unload, and decide we should drive over to the convention center now to get our badges. The E3 center was easy as hell to find, especially with all the video game posters all over the buildings XD. Once we got our badges we went back to the hotel and hung out till the next day. Then the real fun started. All the conferences were going on, the expo floor didn't open for another day so we got to see all these interviews and panels with developers. I'm very proud to say that I got to meet Hideo Kojima and Cliffy B~ Seeing them on the panel was amazing, and Gears of War and Metal Gear Solid 4 were my favorite games there I'm sure. After seeing other panels including Will Wrights, which was on Spore, we went home again. Funny thing is the hotel didn't bother us at all any time during the WHOLE week. We just kept renewing our keycard and we had a room >_>. We wondered if my friend was even being charged for it. To sum up my whole experience I'll close with a few select words. Nintendo Wii. Square Enix. Atlus USA. Booth Babes. Those were the best parts of the whole experience ^^.

Now on to FFXI. On my arrival back my friend was staying with me for 10 days so I really didn't get back to FFXI till he left. Anyways, upon my return I see that some stuff has changed. First of all I see that my friend Thazienne has gotten Sea access, so Congrats to him! ^^v. As for our progress through CoP, I'm not so excited. As some of you may know Tumble ditched us to do the Airship fight and even managed to complete the CoP story arc. Well that upset me greatly and if you read Tuufless' Bloggaru you will see a post he made that conveys our feelings on what he did. Which brings me back to Tuuf. I thought he felt the same way as I did until i read his newest post. You see he has also recently completed the Airship fight. However it was not with us as you may think. He went on and did it with some old friends instead. Now the thing is I didn't hear he did the fight without us until someone told me. Now when he finally told me, he said it was just a "test run". Recently he posted a new post on his Airship fight. I must say his definition of "test run" is a little different than mine. Failing twice and going on to do it once more seems more then a test. Also if his friends asked him out of the blue, why couldn't he do what I would have done and said "I'm sorries, I have a static, I can't ditch them." Honestly I don't really care anymore. I've learned a lot from playing this game. I've met a lot of people and friends on this game in my whole span of playing it and after seeing so much drama and ditching, I've had enough. I just don't care about people much anymore. After seeing Tuuf go on without us it makes me lose trust for all the people I know except my girlfriend Saoirse. I know that's kind of a harsh thing to say but it's how I am feeling. In the end people will do what is best for them, regardless of what others think. Now I know everyone always says "Well I'll still help you" but I'm tired of hearing that. How would the static feel if I did the airship without telling them and simply said "I'll still help you guys get it, don't worry." Also, Tumble confronted me and asked how I felt about Tuuf doing it without us. When I said I stopped caring, he got really upset because I gave him such a hard time and I didn't say one thing to Tuuf. Apparently Tumble has been lvling BRD "for us" this past month or so and feels that he has done it for nothing. I dunno anything about that because I honestly haven't talked to him in a while one on one. Anyway, I'm not expecting to have Sea for a long time if at all. If the "static" still wants to do it, I'm all for it. It's not like I'm going to just go do it if someone asks me ._.'

On a lighter note, I've gotten SAM AF2 Boots recently in Dynamis ^^. I've also lvled my THF to 36, almost capping it for a sub. I've been doing a lot of Besieged lately, even doing all 3 today ^^. I have Dynamis-Bastok tomorrow so hopefully I get lucky and get my DRG AF2 Pants finally. Wish me luck @_@. Also I will most likely be heading off to Cali to see Saoirse sooner than expected!~ XD hopefully in a week I'll be gone and cuddling with her to take my mind off teh FFXI Issues.~ I've also picked my classes for my fall semester so I should have my Associates in Game Design by January and then start my Bachelors. XD

Isn't she adorable~! XD

Anyway, sayonara~ m(_ _)m
