Lost In The Crowd

First thing that make this weekend not so typical is on Bismarck Bastok manages to take over Sarutabaruta area in national conquest! Finally I complete my set of OP warp, thanks to whoever make this happen In my entire career of FF11 I only see Bastok take over Ronfaure area once couple years ago and this recently Sarutabaruta area while losing Gustaberg area to both Windurst and Sandoria couple times ._.

Both Sarutabaruta and Ronfaure OP is close to Windurst and Sandorian respectively which make those two OP are awesome not like Gustaberg OP that pretty far from Bastok and need to run across South Gustaberg as well to reach Bastok, it is like double time needed to get to town compares to Sarutabaruta and Ronfaure OP. I could say this is reason why Bastok lose its front area OP often, because it is useless I guess?

Next up! I get chance to do Proto-Omega fight again. After few weeks of duo/trio Apollyon limbus with my friend we are able to pop Proto-Omega on one of friend and aonther one coming next weekend. I had to dual box WAR for the fight so I asked another PLD to be a main tank and told him I’ll gear my PLD more DD focused instead. I plan to focus on WAR more while tossing flash/cure around on PLD because I have to claim and hold Gunpod too, play WAR most of the time so I don’t waste time switching character when Gunpod pop sounds like a decent idea. Well it works until first Gunpod pop and I claim it on WAR then Omega uses Floodlight that wipes my shadow then Gunpod proceed to kills my WAR shortly after -_- I manage to grab that Gunpod attention after few hit on our BLMs and they kill it after, could be worst I guess.

Fight went smooth after that little chaos until very end, we decide to hold it to farm chip from Gunpod but thing doesn’t go so well. Omega killed the main tank and used Colossal Blow on me then came after BLMs next, killed 2 BLMs before I can get hate back and we decide to just kill him instead ._. The drop was somewhat lame I guess, legs and eye, oh well better than 2 eyes.

At least this weekend wasn’t so boring as it could be, FFXI start become boring for me again. I still log on everyday but nothing more than crafting and log off, other stuff I do during weekday is Einherjar which is gives me frustration as well. LS I join still have hard time on tier 3 chamber like I talked about in few entries ago and the worst is I just realize they also use point system for their loot distributing system which I don’t know before. The leader mark my name as a inactive member that not allowed lot anything, I was like what? I attend 100% of their Einherjar and how I’m inactive member. I got my answer pretty much few minute later browsing through their site, apparently they use same point pool for all of their event (Sky and ZNM) and one of those event can yield up to 30 point per raid while Einherjar is 2 points.

Problem isn’t that they use same point system for all of their event or Einherjar give less point than sky really but it is that I don’t know all of this until couple week in. When I join them I thought they have separate rule for each of their event because leader told me to put comment in for Einherjar that I want to lot Abjuration or Synthesis Material, so I assume they threat Einherjar like Dynamis where people put comment and lot according to their comment. Another time my assumption bites me in the ass, I feel like I did better job in Einherjar than 70% of them and got owned by my not care about reading rule or ask before joining. It is really frustration even I realize it is my fault. Not much I could do I guess beside start raid with them on Monday (for ZNM) and Tuesday (for Sky) as well to fix my attendance percent, or I could just live with getting Therion Ichor only.

On top of this boring and frustration things my friend that I used to play with a lot start not logging in much, I assume the game is boring for him as well. Although we don’t do many things together probably just MMM run, limbus and random stuff but its way better to have someone you can screw around with than logging on making money and stare at Moogle hoping for someone send you a tell ask you to do something. Perhaps it is a time to take another break.

Ugh I manage to turn rutine I do this I do that stuff post into typical livejournal ranting style post at the end somehow, well more pretty picture and some juicy stuff next time I (don’t) promise!
