FFXIAH Linkshell Ni
By Ramyrez 2015-03-02 11:23:08
As long as I have internet to watch videos/play games I'm pretty content myself.
I really wish content providers would embrace the fact that the traditional television model is dying. Keep giving the twits what they want (vapid sitcoms, reality shows, etc.), but find a way to provide better content via streaming and on-demand viewing.
It really sucks that great shows have to fight so hard because the target audiences just don't have the time or inclination to 1) pay through the *** for so much crap they don't need or 2) don't have the time to stop their lives and watch on the network's schedule.

See, that's my problem, and despite what I just said to Misa, I'm just as bad because I'm terrible at watching things on a Network's schedule. I just record everything I want to watch but cannot due to time issues. Most channels here even allow skipping advertisments on records^^

Pretty much everything is available streaming the day after. Most of it is all on the networks own websites with ads and then you have stuff like Hulu.
The stuff that isn't available on Hulu I just go bring up the web page for the network and watch it there. Ads are longer but meh, never actually have to turn on my tv.
I guess the one downside to all that is they are only available to watch for the next 2-5 weeks usually. There are certain shows I just wait until the come out of netflix or AmPrime or whatever.
Also, DVR.

oh I didnt mean as in you cant watch fox on airstream (or whatever the *** it is called)
but rather, as a shitty Fox business model.
it has a habit to terminate shows prematurely, to make way for new shows. usually Scifi shows tend to get canned earlier than others.
dunno why.
"oh I guess your show is successful. Congratulations. before you ask for more money, here, lemme cancel your show. bye" A lot of that stuff got cancelled because there wasn't a huge crowd for it at the time. firefly just had a small but passionate fan base that kept the love for the show live but didn't keep the lights on at the studio.
Had shows like those come on nowadays they'd probably have a much better chance of succeeding as the market is a lot different. Networks didn't keep producing stuff that had low numbers though.

Welcome back been gone too longers!
First, get you some trust npcs, they are awesome.sign up for sparks and unity.
Second, In your quest log you will find "Record of Eminence"
half of which you have probably already done.. so get on a job you need exp on and turn on some quests, if you already did them they give you exp and stuff and then disappear, if not well... onto 3
Third have as many active quests on as possible as you and your trust npcs kick the living ***out of lair reives in ciezak until you have a full set of bayld gear.
the trick is to complete as many RoE pages at the same time as possible. Have the zone you are in on, spoils active for whatever crystals drop, multiple enemy ones on etc.
poor? Do voidwatch for high dollar drops of reforged relic gear items that go for a million or so
need more money? grind dyna for coins or salvage for alex...or both
Welcome Home!

OK! you got your bayld gear on and some rem's tales stored up and a couple drops towards your reforged relic! What else?
Unity! like sparks they cap at 50,000 so you gotta burn them up and unity nms drop lots of cool stuff
WKR! Wildskeepers rieves (also in ROE!!!) bring ***piles of reraise and get your JSE capes on!
Oboro! after you win exactly ONE high tier battle field you unlock this doucher who has some cool crap you can buy in 1/47th of the time of building a relic
/rocks his three song terpsderp harp like an electric guitar
we'll get to forri porri, skirmish, incursion, and delve later

TRUST ME! Maybe for 119 upgrades, but if you have a small group(can't remember if Misa is playing with Meshi or not) they'll have more luck using Sparks gear and spamming lower tiers of the battlefields until the gear up and can do higher tiers.
If it's your second job, your first job should already be geared enough to do it imho or else you probably shouldn't be on this second job to begin with.
For 109 upgrades? The seals fights are even simpler and can even be done with trusts.
I just feel Bayld is better saved for either smaller adoulin transactions or for purchasing/selling HQ Bayld for gil.

Well aren't you just a little rebel today. Who's a little rebel? Is it you? Yes it is! Yes it is! First time I've been tempted to change avatars in a while.
That being said, it would make the hammer-*** pseudonym a bit more confusing, if still appropriate.

Shneddick +1 is awesome though and it's level 117
you can survive a "normal" high tier bcnm battle in it.
and the smaller delve nms you get the accessories from like asperity necklace and earings.
Personally, my drop rate sucks on the easy versions of the bcnm fights. you can get seals that way...but you better have a ***pile of seals

I read some of your words and blacked out due to overexposure.
My brain can only handle so much information at once. "They" call it a "handicap", I call it a faulty valve.
I have purchased sparks gear for all my jobs, and the skill up gear as well. I even finally got my SAM to 49 and have been subbing it on DRK, much to my dismay. I have to admit though, it is a good sub...

Since we all can't be on the same linkshell in game, this can be our cross server linkshell thread.
Like most linkshells, it can be pretty dead at times. Other times it's full of intense conversations about either rl, gear, goals, pokemon or anything else you want to contribute.
We can cover any sort of topic at all, within reason of the forum rules. No real main topic, just a bunch of FFXIAH friends/people coming on and discussing random things.

Update: Sorry Eternaltriumph, too much has changed D: (Page 698)
Eternaltriumph said: Yeah Chuu. Bringing you up to speed, Ludoggy is the LS pedophile. I'm the fountain of random and useless knowledge that makes you go "Hrm" with the occasional side of "holy shit he said what?"
Kungfu is the LS nutjob, spouting super random things that are usually sexist, until Savvy or Alyria comes into the room. Then he's a classic case of sexual harrassment. Rumaha is also true to the second part; we're wondering about his sexuality though.
Daj is Ludoggy's gay lover. Not much else is known about this Asuran. Tairo is kinda new, but since is a female and Alyria's lesbian lover, she fit right in real quick.
Celene(F) and Rowland(M) are more of the shyer members, but often say things that are witty, have a good pun and sometimes cause three page discussions. Celene hates when people hit on her. It doesn't stop them from trying.
Krizz is just social and likes to kill time here during work Tbest is about the same, except tends to be a douche to guys and affectionate toward girls.
Alyria is the most social female, gets groped a lot without provoking it by others, and Tairo ends up stabbing people for it. Cai is just a barrel of lols, I might be gay for him. If I wasn't straight.
Not sure about Citag, s/he's new. Kiriyu is just an in-out kinda person. Says one thing every three days that every guy makes a big fuss over. Ludoggy gets really defensive since she's asian and underage (might be 18 now).
Artem is the wayward soul that makes you ponder the meaning of life by constantly reminding us life can suck. But he deals, and so do we. About the same for Savannah, except people are more "AWH!" to her because of a vagina involved.
Dasva is the ex military man (as is Krizz but this doesn't apply to him) who hates the world and plots a way to destroy most of it.
Number2 is kinda like a mix between Cai and I; never bashes, likes to laugh and has odd avatars. His current suits a lot of the convos this LS gets into. Barti is most well known for his moustache. He gives mousatche rides for a fee. I'm missing a few people but whatever. CARRY ON!
Luelle Smells.
