I hope your just joking....well maybe not...

b/c then I get use a quote ive been saving and really want to use it

Just gotta read this quote in the context of the quotes before it (and the other thread where people are ripping on ShepardG about his grammar/spelling).

But, thanks for playing.

My gramar and my spelling are empecable. Let's just get that out there now.

Also I'm flat out excited about this update on mon/tues. I am such a "glass is half full" kinda guy, I even started doing MMM with some friends in our spare time incase they implement some other sweet gear through that system.

I have a feeling that the walk of echos might be cross/mix of dynamis and campaign. Mobs might drop indvidual stuff like armor, and the campaign/WoE loot at the end will appear in everyones treasure pool, and involve the crafting of various things. Here's to hoping they implement dynamis currency into the loot pools, because 200mil for a relic at this stage in the game is ludicrous.

ya havent been around on the forum long enough to have really picked up on that for sure. but definately now lol

I'm kinda getting more and more excited about the new areas and the possibilities it holds. 1 thing i dont want to happen is that you have to maintain some kind of rank to participate in the higher areas (like campaign is now). I just dont have that much time to keep my medals up in campaign to really participate or reap the rewards. so allied ring willl probably always but just out of reach

so im hoping its going to be more taylored to the casual player. since they already have something for the more harcore players. i.e. salvage would like to be able to get some decent gear without sacrificing lots and lots of spare time that i have so little of already.

Thought just occurred to me but would "in campaign battle" effects work here?

I can't tell if he’s kidding or not ><.
And I could be wrong…but that looks like the correct version of ‘there’. He’s learning!!!!

Aww I’m just joking Shep. I got in a little bit of trouble back in the day because I spelled “shirt” wrong… (I forgot the “R”). Which sucked because I didn’t realize my mistake till the teacher yelled at me…nor did I do in on purpose.

Re: The Walk of Echoes Beckons! (06/15/2010)

Was totally kidding ^^

I have a vary ... "passionate" view/ideaology about the future of written language, after having witnessed the rise of the information age, but that subject is for another thread/time

Re: The Walk of Echoes Beckons! (06/15/2010)

I thought for a while you were trying to be humorous with purposefully misspelled words. Now I'm back to just being of the opinion your spelling and punctuation really does suck big, fat, sweaty bollocks.

-----------------------
Again shep…sorry. I really shouldn’t be making fun of anyone’s grammar or spelling. I pretty much type any and all responses in a word document and fix all the red and green lines before posting. And even then one might wonder if I got past the 4th grade.


So how about that upcoming "Walk of Echoes'...

[ShepardG]

Re: The Walk of Echoes Beckons! (06/15/2010)

Grizz, it's both ^^ and sucks bulloks or not, if you understand the post, isn't that the only thing that matters? even if your brain has to work a couple synapse connections more, Yeah i spell wrong and use improper gramar (like that) but i really could give a flying fuck, cause i'm pretty sure you still understood what i was conveying with this sentance.

[Laynton]

Re: The Walk of Echoes Beckons! (06/15/2010)

ShepardG has a point. Even if I were to start spelling without any of the vowels many people would still understand what I wrote. They've dones studies on this I'm not just making it up.

I suppose I could always go BLM/DNC and wack some crap with a staff... cast a few nukes and faceplant into the dirt. -shrug-

The way I use BLM in campaign is by whacking at things with a staff, then using Spirit Taker and Aspir for MP. I'll use a Jupiter Staff and every now and then drop a Thunder IV when my MP is nearly full.

It's still a gimp way to play. If I'm less than 1k from cap, I'll just nuke smn pets in West Saruta (S). 50xp each, and two one-shots per MP bar adds up fast.

and the campaign/WoE loot at the end will appear in everyones treasure pool, and involve the crafting of various things.

Crafting! Yes, I think they will require crafting for the best drops... and make them rare/ex so you can't sell them on the AH (like people don't do anyhow with all the Swamp Ores and Fool's Gold Ores.

Or they'll just fill the treasure pool with more crappy Evoliths.

I doubt it. Why would there be Arbiters giving Allied Tags in some kind of inter-dimensional limbo that you are somehow fighting to try and take control of?

More to the point, why would S-E pass up the chance to introduce a whole new reputation grind to the game.

Necro-bump for a necro-event. <(O.o)>


I dropped in there last night to show something to a friend.

There was nobody else in there.

Fail event is fail.


Right now (late JP prime) there are nine in there, and 7/9 are level 80.

Part of the reason for the failure is that it's really not doable at 75 and barely doable at 80. Unless someone decides they just have to have a gear from in there and can form a LS just for WoE, it ain't going to happen.

Another part of the reason is the reward system. From reading on the 'zam forums, the general concensus seems to be that it's an Einherjar-style event with Campaign-style rewards. Giving only the five "top performers" the best loot is not going to encourage support jobs to show up. No support jobs, no event.

And the mob aggro was just too complicated for people to bother to figure out without some other good reason to be in there.

And then of course there's the epic win that is Abyssea exp alliances to draw even more people away.

Maybe it'll get some interest when people hit the 90 cap.


And there are still bugs. When I got quickly KOed by a crab, it said I would get kicked after 3 minutes and 300,000 or so seconds.

Re: The Walk of Echoes Beckons! (06/15/2010)

I asked my LS and some various friends about it recently. Not many have tried it. Infact a number of people forgot it was even there.
