Hey Ocarina, I hoped everyone had a good or relaxing weekend. I did forget to update this week, so here is the blog post! This month has been pretty hectic. Endless birthday parties and family dinners, which also includes endless shopping (but that part I don't really mind). I'll start the post off with some scenery pictures. I managed to take some really good ones due to weather and lighting :D

Sadly, no matter how beautiful this game is...I can't help to think the game is lacking activities for me to do. This is slowly becoming an expensive chat place for me and I'm always so hyped on Thursday night...mostly because I have SOMETHING to do and that's doing crafting red scrips. This patch has been a let down and I am hoping 3.1 would be a good surprise.

On the same topic of how this patch utterly sucks dick, I did Pharos by myself because I had nothing to do. I actually do envy people doing the story at their own pace and levelling slowly. The story was really good and unlocking the flying stuff on the maps were incredibly time consuming. Here is my boring adventure of soloing Pharos.

Here comes Zu. Beat this bitch with no problemmm!

This was the scenery outside of the light house o:

I did some levelling with Lunaria :D we had a lot of questionable runs and I still managed to keep ourselves alive (somehow). There was one run where I left a tank a snobby message before I left. I just can't help but to voice it LOL and I know Lunaria had a good laugh at that.

GIRL POWERRRRRR <3

I want to do Sohm Al next @_@;; I find the later dungeons are more fun than Dusk Vigil.

Also, I learned that adds should be away from the boss...but once the adds finished their aoe...the tank is suppose to take the adds back. Unfortunately, many tanks leave the adds on my dicks and not all DPS would kill the adds. In 9/10 cases, I'M FRIGGEN TANKING THE ADDS IN ONE CORNER BECAUSE I FIGURED THE TANKS WON'T HELP OUT. Lunaria had witnessed this.

I blocked Scherza out from this ((Oops!)) but here we are :D doing a full FC EXDR!

Zentai lvling up his popoto.

And as always, there will always be a section on FC shenanigans. When do we NOT do stupid stuff?

Here's Ubi teleporting away from me when I was crafting raid food on Sas' account.

Lunaria and I were both crafting @_@;;....that's cause this patch sucks dick.

Aikia chan had a new glamour <3

The three of us sitting in Mist, just like the old days o:

Aikia is soooooo kawaii in his lotus pink outfits :D

I recently made a new minion ~~ and he's so adorable.

Zentai and I crafting because this patch sucks dick.

The three of us are gathering because this patch sucks dick. Additionally, crafting sucks a lot of dicks and requires a lot of materials which will be gone in 5 minutes. Literally.

Here we are doing some S ranks because we got nothing to do since this patch sucks dick. Rare and Neru were flying around the Pale Rider lolll.

Neru being Neru... *sigh*

Here is the raid group deciding to do some Coil/Primal night because we hate A3S. We decided to go for a break and honestly, I had quite a bit of fun that night. I enjoyed it and it was a nice break from dying in A3S non-stop! I think we should do that some more since we don't necessarily need 8 people now :3

Titan EX kicked our asses hard since we did gear and level synced LMAO. WE SUCKED SHIT.

I still want to do more T9 --- need that tank robe and AST globe :P

Back for more Ultima :D

Shiva Shiba! Ohs, thanks for letting me run some primals with my nooby tank :D I'm so excited to get my bear eventually LOL ... 40/200. AWW YEAH!

AST power in Coil ^___^

We're still making some slow and decent progress in A3S (honestly SE, this fight sucks dick if lag latency is a mechanic). I'm pretty happy with the progression and we're getting better on adds phase. Aikia has been a great team player for raiding in this cute attire LOL

Eventually, A3S has gotten to us and some of us were screaming in pain on mumble ... LOL

Especially Neru and Zetto.

Then the screaming got real on our last run...

but that was because...

Although this patch really sucked a bunch of dicks, I am looking forward to 3.1. At the moment, maps are still getting some of us together for some group time. I do like doing treasure maps, even though the maps are awful to read. SE, don't let 3.1 disappoint us.
