Phurble. Adorable name, cuter than tribbles. Why we gotta kill 'em?

Probably 'cause it's a quest and they're lookin' at me funny.

You are an irredemable monster. How can you even think of hurting a floating pair of eyes?

I know. And now I'm killing golden phurbles for their golden fleece.

Fuzzy things are goin' down. There's a market for this sort of thing. I don't put all the sickos in the pretend world, I just supply them!

"D is for Dead"

"Tresses in Distress"

"Drain a golden fleece of its blood"

Easier than dragons, I'll say that.

 

[Recidiva]

"You obtain a basket of snurble tufts."

Of course I do!

It's like slaughtering the cast of a Dr. Seuss book.

 

[Sean Renaud]

Except most of a Dr. Suess book won't look like an eaten Pacman ghost if you get them wet! This is a unique level of depravity. This is the kind of thing that would happen if Jafar and Maleficient got together, had a child, raised him on a diet of Captain Crunch and Soy Milk, threw him in a volcano to prove he was worthy of their love and then shouted J/K! When he pulled himself out of the volcano.

The sorrow here cannot be measured using terms that humans can comprehend nor can it be spoken by any mortal who wishes to live to see another day. The seas boil, the skies turn to blood and still Mother Earth weeps because of you.

Nobody did. That's why they gave us classic Dante as a skin and we grudgingly accepted their apology and paid for it.

I did not know that. There's another game I need to get. Make sure I introduce the kid to hot dhampires as early as possible. I have absolutely no idea how to spell that.

Because as a parent apparently part of my job is to completely fuck up a child's sense of danger. Everyone knows that bears are fucking cuddly and will in no way maul you, right? I mean, that's why we give them to our young.

If you could point me toward Mother Earth she's probably got a quest or two for me to do. That bitch is twisted.

...I can't help but think of beholders when you say that...

Was Mother Earth fucking Captain Planet?

 

[CandiCame]

Hey, Sean, you still on? I did draw you the thing at work. I just got home. Gonna scan it.

 

[CandiCame]

I forgot a really important line on his left leg. Goddamn it Lit makes it impossible to upload images, I forgot about that. Hold on.

Edit: If I have to go through the trouble of uploading and shut, I'll fix that leg first.

There

Some of these quests are really boring.

Some of these quests are really boring.

And unfortunately they don't really have enough of them, even the boring ones. Hoping for a change to that. Levequests and Fates help a lot.

Ya I havent had a quest yet where I need a party. The fates kind of annoy me. Sometimes I just stumble into them. When I run into the bomb one i have trouble targeting the bombs so i always fail

Many people gain levels very quickly just by grinding fates, so there are huge chocobo herds roaming the plains from fate to fate.

 

[remy_lebeau8]

I don't mind fates as long as I'm not in the middle of a quest. When I'm trying to kill 10 mushrooms or some shit and then bam fate pops up I get annoyed

I got pretty annoyed once. I had to do a class quest, level 30 something, and it was in a specific spot on the map. I died doing it about six times, and then I finally succeeded. When it dumped me back onto the map, a level 49 Fate quest mob spawned on top of me and killed me in seconds.

That, in fact, is poor game planning. There is a lot of that, unfortunately, but I think it might shake out to be a better game in the future.

 

[Sean Renaud]

A lot of games have poor game planning. I have to assume that a lot of it is carry over from the old days of gaming and nobody really complains much about it in general so they don't make any effort to unfuck it. It's easy to forget that a lot of guys started by making arcade machines and the goal of those was to steal quarters. Most of them have atleast one complete bullshit zone or two.

Yeah, and especially MMO's, there is insufficient testing before going live.

But you're wrong about people not complaining. Since gaming can be an addiction, you have rabid "fans" that the game makers could do without, demanding more and better for less and less.

 

[Sean Renaud]

I'm gonna start by accepting that it's possible that I'm wrong about people not complaining. Maybe they do. I assumed though that the numbers are sufficiently low that they ignore them because they know that people who are unhappy are more vocal than those who are satisfied or happy. I assume they have some math equation that says if we have x% of people complaining about any given issue that it's an issue and if it's lower than that just ignore it. Those are whiny bitches.

MMO's have websites and they're about as reasonable as the political arguments here.

Bioware won't even let you onto their boards unless you've bought and registered a game. A game developer at Dragon Age II had death threats. It isn't sane.

 

[Sean Renaud]

That doesn't really change my point about squeaky wheels though. If two people are satisfied and one person is bitching up a storm you notice the one guy bitching up a storm. It doesn't matter that he's the minority it matters that the majority is silent.

Still, I may not be wrong. Note: This only applies to bugs that never get fixed or on rare occasion get worse as time goes forward.

Got my nes controllecontrollers working again. Had to sand near 30 years of grime off the boards.

Eh. I'm prone to a certain amount of grumbling and bitching, but I'm aware that $15 a month doesn't entitle me to everything I want.

This is not a view shared by many.

Now, keep in mind, sometimes the game just promises stuff it can't deliver.
