I found it nauseatingly boring, actually, and could barely get past section one. --Jette 01:55, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

The whole page could be summed up as "If it seems wrong, don't do it." That page wastes a lot of E-space appealing to the wikilawlers of tomorrow. ~Shard 01:57, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

@Armond: If you're lost, wikimail me or something. The trolls frequent your page, and I'm not giving them any more food. — Jon Lupen 05:00, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

FE10

You'd better be playing on hardmode to call it "a challenge". (Although I can understand what you mean about being a perfectionist. I still haven't even started the game because I am still trying to build a "perfect" FE9 transfer file. >_>) Vili 点 22:56, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

No, fuck you. You know that chapter where you first find Jill, Zihark, and Tauroneo? Jill died fucking five times before I could finish that chapter. And keeping alive the cavalry in that two-part chapter is a bitch. And fuck allied NPCs in general. -- Armond Warblade{{Bacon}} 04:45, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

Of course I wouldn't know, I've never played the game. I just watched my brother beat the shit out of it. Maybe he's just better than you...! Vili 点 04:48, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

Or maybe he was on easy. -- Armond Warblade{{Bacon}} 04:55, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

Normal tbh. He replayed later on hard and gave up for the same reasons you say.

Also, the Black Knight climbing up ledges is awesome, isn't it? Vili 点 04:59, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

FFX

Best blitzball score? --neshot 16:13, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

Mine was like 12 or 13 to zip. Swim to middle, steal ball every time, shoot immediately, score a goal. Powergaming blitzball was amazingly fun but it got pretty ridiculous. -Auron 16:52, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

Mine was only about 8. Still the best between my few friends who played, but they weren't exactly good and always asked me for tips on the game. --neshot 17:02, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

I've actually never played blitzball outside the one forced game. -- Armond Warblade{{Bacon}} 21:36, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

Is it all that fun? I seem to remember playing FFX on my PS2 before the repo man took my TV screen that costs more than a house away. Does it work on the PCSX2 or whatever they call it? Every game I put on that stupid thing is slow as hell and laggy as hell, despite meeting all the requirements and such. —Jette 01:04, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

I've always sucked massively at it. I always had to fetch my brother to do that for me. OR try four times and eventually win it myself with a 1 point margin.-- anguard 01:05, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

It's a fucking amazing game. I spent literally hours playing blitzball. When the NPC teams drop a player, you can pick them up - I got most of the al bhed psyches right off the bat, and their stats are amazing. Their goalie (nimrook?) has one of the highest catch stats in the game for most levels, and their two forwards (blappa and eigar) are very strong with attack and shot. Tidus is terrible at attack, but his shot is high and he gets jecht shot (and jecht shot 2), so he's always nice to have around. There are specific random npcs that suck at low levels but rock at high levels (I think there's an npc called shoo that gets like 99 shot at level 99), and even wakka is good at higher levels, but leveling in that game takes forever, so I pretty much never got anyone above 60 or 70. /geekrant -Auron 03:52, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

Sounds cool. I may have a disc lying around somewhere (doubt it), if not I'll see if it works on this cruddy emulator. Maybe I just need a new GPU. —Jette 05:27, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

That was precious. Raine - talk 08:25, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

I remember Shoop, not many others. My disc's broken (I was careless back then) and I'm looking to get the dark Aeon edition. --neshot 10:14, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

If you find one, let me know where. -- Armond Warblade{{Bacon}} 14:22, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

Most annoying moment in FFX was when I forgot to pick up one of the items for Tidus' celestial weapon, and whenever I tried to go back and get it Dark Bahamut kept blasting away for 99999 damage on my poor party. Yojimbo solved that issue with Zanmoto or w/e it's called. Dark Aeons are annoying. Shadow Runner 14:46, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

Not like celestial weapons are needed at that point tbh >.> Should have farmed Dark Yojimbo. -- Armond Warblade{{Bacon}} 14:49, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

At some point, it becomes better to buy blanks and make your own. Raine - talk 16:07, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

(Reset indent) Yea, break damage limit is probably the best upgrade out there. Break HP limit is awesome too though. You kinda need everything you got against Penance... Shadow Runner 16:11, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

I say looking for one, I'll probably end up still saying that in 5 years or so. --neshot 16:36, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

You're basically forced to use the celestial weapons against Penance - anything else will do shit for damage thanks to his uber huge defense. -- Armond Warblade{{Bacon}} 22:52, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

Nested loops

I've heard some people don't know what these are. Thus, I've decided to do the community a favor and describe them as best I can.

Nested loops are, basically, a technique used by coders to repeat a number of tasks while doing other tasks. It's like if your boss says "Hey man, I need you to go through each of those unmarked cupboards over there and label them. Then while you're labeling them I want you to write each of these things on another piece of paper and put them inside the cupboards. Then while you're doing that I want you to organize the contents as I've written down here. And while you're organizing make sure everything's clean and shiny, and wipe it off with this towel. And while you're wiping with that towel..."

At the end of the day, does your boss know what he asked you to do? Of course fucking not.

-- Armond Warblade{{Bacon}} 01:38, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

What the fuck? My boss would be hanging from the fan by his tie if he asked me to do that shit. —Jette 06:45, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

AND IF YOU ASKED HIM IF HE'D BEEN ABLE TO KEEP TRACK OF WHAT HAPPENED HE'D BE LIKE FUCK NO. -- Armond Warblade{{Bacon}} 06:50, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

Why warrior's were viable on split and aren't anymore

https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.gw-memorial.net/nav/b_pase_i.php?id=34 To prove my Point I'd like to use a build of GWFC.Now this may sound stupid but you'll proly realise quite fast why.

1 ) Back then (its not just that build) you didn't have as many 33 % IMS skills,and in that case the one that is used (Windborne Speed) has cast time,Also note how there are no just tuck in to have mobility skill involved (read:Dash)

2 ) Check the flagrunner.I think this is very important.The flagger isn't some defensive bitch that just won't fucking die.Its actually a semi-offensive flagrunner.Here is a hint : A skilled warrior could kill the flagrunner.So how long has it been since that is possible ?

3 ) The use of healing signet.Point 1) and powercreep made healing signet ineffective.And nothing else.I would strongly discourage buffing healing signet.Instead nerf the mindless caster damage.

4 ) Whatever you do I don't think it will be possible to revert the powercreep.The reason is that even if you nerf shit like Bsurge and stuff.Elementalists had no superpowered elites.They just ran a normal bar and took the best elite to fill the energy management niche.In this case Ether Prodigy (wich was nerfed from 2 points of damage to 3,A dumb nerf but that is not why it no longer saw play).

Feel free to ask or discuss Lilondra *poke* 06:09, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

There's also, y'know, the fact that splitting accomplishes nothing anymore. But ok. -- Armond Warblade{{Bacon}} 14:28, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

AFAIK people still have to do *something* about it (doing nothing still isn't a option) shure the current system is bad but those are the main reasons tbh Lilondra *poke* 15:09, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, you have to do "something", but no one ever brings a warrior (or anyone except a ranger) with a build specifically made for defensive splitting simply because you can split back your ele or flagger and that's all the defense you'll need for the reasonably short skirmish - there's rarely any point in prolonging the split on the offender's side. -- Armond Warblade{{Bacon}} 15:12, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

But why is that ? Is prolonging useless because of the fact that a warrior is a standbeast these days or because of the System (wich indeed sucks epic coconuts).All I'm saying is that even ignoring the system this has to be fixed.NPC's will +- always be important since they make it harder to invade the base and easier for the defending team to push them back.IF splitting was useless then people wouldn't rly bother with Burning Isle would they ? My point is that You either have overdefensive flaggers or some OP midliner build or both making it rly hard to split.Natural stride is also one of the first skills that needs a nuke Lilondra *poke* 15:15, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

I was trying to say that between the small benefit you get from killing NPCs and the fact that the midline takes a shit on the melee on a split, splitting is generally not profitable unless you can kill the opposing split team and get some DP out of it. -- Armond Warblade{{Bacon}} 16:07, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

Kinda forgot to respond.But if you would nerf the power things would change alot.Suddenly front would become a huge threat on split again and Your statement isn't entirely true.If your warrior splits off they have to send back something,most likely their flagger or ranger.So the presence of your warrior @ their base makes a *huge* difference and might decide the outcome later on.I'd also like to note that its important to bring live into the niche,reduce power creep and reintroduce a VoD like system (try to balance it out).Then warriors will be viable again and guess what ? Skills like plague touch and Charge will see use again,since its not because they are UP that they don't see use but because of the niche that is no usefull in this meta or just not worth saccing a skillslot /elite slot/ secondary profession for Lilondra *poke* 06:00, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

The game's state of balance has become like a Rubik's cube. To fix it, we're going to have to make careful, slight adjustments, focusing on individual pieces while concentrating on the whole; willing to take steps back to take further steps forward. Individual skills have a quick fix (wounding strike, escape, etc.) and some just outright need to be stopped (shadow form), but overall it's going to take a long time and a lot of tweaking updates to put the game back in a playable state, if it happens at all. —Jette 06:13, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

My point is that they once were viable on split wich means they *can* be viable on split.And jette its not we're its anet so no its not going to happen.But I have a dream,A dream that anet is not retarded,I have a dream,.... Lilondra *poke* 10:23, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
