Hello everyone! Zorn here again! I haven't been back for about a year, so most of you probably don't remember me. But for those who do, I used to play Eridan here.

BUT NOT TODAY.

I'm bringing with me Lord Haurchefant de Fortemps from Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward! For those who don't know who that is, he's an eccentric noble from a super religious city-state named Ishgard, which has been in a millennia long war with dragons, and also has been stuck in an eternal winter for like 5+ years now. While Ishgardians are known for their aloof, stand-offish, and often inhospitable natures, Haurchefant is very much the opposite.

He's a really nice, encouraging, and all around friendly guy! He's just a little weird and excitable, not to mention quick to shower praises onto people to the point of being a little uncomfortable. But overall he's a really great dude!

I'm looking forward to getting CR with everyone here, if any of you would like to read my app for Haurchefant, you can find it here, but if you don't want Heavensward spoilers then don't read it. IT'S FULL OF THEM.

ANYWAY, if you'd like to contact me out of the game feel free to add me on aim (Zornsable) or plurk ZornSable!

HI NERD.

[thefallensnow]

I AM NOT A NERD U NERD

BUT HELLO!

[thepuppetmaster]

o pls u best nerd.

[thefallensnow]

im p sure ur like PRINCE O THE NERDS so

[sylphauxiliatrix]

I have you on record claiming that Amporas are the worst and Maryams are the best. How did you come by such good opinions?

[thefallensnow]

uh... without any proof I'm afraid I'm not at liberty to comment on such tomfoolery.

[calmbefore]

Oh man, Haurchefant /chinhands



I mean uh, yes, hallo! I'm Sceadu, and while I vaguely remember Eridan hanging around I'm not sure I ever introduced myself at the time. I play this guy here (the Eighth Doctor) and Xemnas, and welcome back!

[thefallensnow]

He is a national treasure.


I don't think so! So nice to meet you too! I'm not too familiar with Dr. Who, my knowledge of it is very, very peripheral, but I am familiar with Xemnas! Either way I am looking forward to any future CR with you.

/too lazy to switch accounts

[needsmust]

He really is and it's great.


I'm probably going to throw Eight at him at some point today or tomorrow depending on how far I get in my tag backlog before I yield to the urge to hop onto FFXIV dat gear/seals grind, sob

[thefallensnow]

Nice! I will def look forward to it! And believe me I know that urge all too well... I've grounded myself from getting on it today until I get a good amount of tagging done and the like, otherwise I'll never return...

[needsmust]

yyyyyyep I've been there. I've been trying to be reasonably good about doing tags at least during the morning/afternoon and hop on in the evening, though I'll probably slow that down some after getting my main geared out in law stuff.

[thefallensnow]

Yeah I need to do that honestly. I actually leveled one of my alts to 60 before I got my main there... oops. But DRK was too much fun to NOT level it to 60. My main is smn actually ahaha. By the way, what server are you on? I'm on balmung!

[needsmust]

oh man, another person on Balmung! Balmung's my main server, and I've got some alts over on Adamantoise.


My main's SMN(/BLM) and I got SMN to 60 first, it's just that... I had to spend like two weeks yelling at SE support, because my CE arrived without a registration code so I couldn't play after early access ended. AST is prrrrrrobably gonna be my next 60, so I can do law grinds w/out having to sit through dps queues DX

[thefallensnow]

NICE! I've been there since 1.0 when it was besaid! Balmung is GREAT. All my alts are on Balmung actually, mainly because I'm rp trash... ahhaha.

Nice, yeah I have smn and blm on my main, but now I'm focusing on smn, blm will be next! Also that SUCKS... SE needs to get their shit together, I heard there were quite a few people with issues similar to that, eugh. From what I've seen of AST it seems like such a fun job, I should probably lvl it sometime too... I just wanna lvl everything, gdi.

/casually account-cycles again

[fatedcircle]

I didn't get into FFXIV until 2.0 but the people who got me into it had been playing since 1.0 so that's where I've been.


Yeah, it was a maaaajor pain, although I've been back on for a bit now, and have been scrabbling to catch up to plot and gear. I've got almost all my gear law or expert dungeons now though! So I'm getting somewhere. Also AST is hella fun, imo, but it hasn't got as much coverage for the "oh shit" moments. Essential Dignity is pretty good, but that's it so far (at lvl 50)

[thefallensnow]

I bought it when it first released, because I played ffxi for like 8 years. I'm just all around a ffmmo junkie.

I'm glad they finally resolved it for you! I won't lie, I hated ast for a bit because when I was lvling drk, for some reason asts would let me get to like 10% hp before healing me, so I was like I BETTER NOT SEE ANOTHER AST AGAIN... and then I'd always get one... But now that I've seen what they can do when someone who LIKES to heal, does the thing? They seem really really resourceful and a lot of fun.

I actually pseudo main sch, I was an end game sch till 3.0 came out, now I haven't touched it because the changes have kinda pissed me off, but maybe I'll see how much ast sits with me once I have other things done!

[fatedcircle]

This is my first ffmmo, but I've been liking it a lot!

Yeah, they gave me a standard reg code and told me to contact them when my account was registered for that so it could be bumped to CE (which should be done now; I was talking to them about that earlier.) And yeah, I can... see why they might? Essential Dignity does more heals the lower the hp so I can see a lot of the draw there. Plus keeping on top of card buffs takes a lot of time - I've heard there's a lot less time to dps with AST especially post-50.

On the other hand one of the stances is basically "SCH without the pet", so maybe that could be a replacement? Although I do know AST barriers will replace SCH barriers and SCH barriers are for more so you'd probably want to swap stances in 8-mans if there's a SCH in.

[thefallensnow]

They've definitely improved it a lot since the original launch.

See and I would totally understand that to an extent, except none of them were... They would just heal me up with benefic II or whatever. So it was even MORE puzzling to me. I can understand the whole jostling with cards, but pls heal the tank...

Yeah I'll have to see. I still really do like having a healing pet and sch in general (I'm just super mad about lustrate >:[), and maybe I'll get over it with time, be I'll just have to compare the two eventually!

[fatedcircle]

Yeah, that's what I've heard.

...I got nothing then. But the swarm of people trying the new shiny should be mostly over by now.

Yeah, that threw me too - I mostly have SCH up because SMN and might as well - but I can understand why too? Like if a non-WAR tank has ~16k hp it'd start to get a littttttle op to heal for percentile damage.

[thefallensnow]

Yeah, my main problem with it is it was sch's main oh shit button for healing tanks, now it's greatly nerfed on tanks, and more improved on DPS/Healers. And with emergency tactics your adloquium becomes lustrate with a cast bar. Lustrate is now weaker than WHM's cure II, and can only be used under astral flow, and honestly whms can now heal for like 8k crits on cure II, so 4k lustrate by percentage really isn't that op! Especially when cure II non-crits can heal for 4-5k.

Also someone in my FC tested it, and I haven't looked to see if it was a bug or not, but eos' healing buffs didn't affect lustrate. I hope it was a bug that's been fixed, but I haven't heard anything about it yet.

[fatedcircle]

Yeah, I heard about problems with the fairies not scaling either? But I've not been paying a whole lot of attention to SCH as a whole, since I'd rather WHM, partially I don't have to respec my point allocation for that. But either way, it definitely sounds frustrating if you'd been doing SCH more than I have been!

[thefallensnow]

Pretty much that's my problem, they've really messed up sch, while really giving a lot of goodies to whm (which I think was definitely needed!). I'm sure I'll adjust eventually, but it definitely made sch unappealing.

[fatedcircle]

Yeah, I can understand that. Hopefully tweaks/adjustments will be forthcoming but we shall have to see what the future holds.

BROCHEFAUNT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11ONE!

too lazy to switch accounts....

[shadowskin]

IN THE FLESH so to speak.

Re: too lazy to switch accounts....

[icanopenjars]

i'm so happy! Brochefant is my fave. Along with Hildy.
Where are you taking him from? After the Vault?
Also, do you play on Balmung, by chance?

Re: too lazy to switch accounts....

[thefallensnow]

Wow my email ate this, how rude.

And yes! He is from the vault because I'm cruel, and I do indeed play on balmung!

[icanopenjars]

Wow so rood.

Oh that's terribly cruel. I hope they give me a mini Haurchefant to adventure with me. I want to adopt him.

Another Balmung-ite hooray! I play a reclusive dusky. I'd say rp but he's shy sometimes. Damn that social claustrophobia.

[thefallensnow]

I'm just mean, what can I say! Oh they did say we are getting a minion AND a portrait AND his shield for glamour possibly!!

I have 8 characters total on balmung that I rp because I think I have some sort of disorder. One I like to call altitis. I don't rp as much as I'd like on the game, too busy doing other content, but if you ever wanna do a thing on there, or even discuss characters I'd love to hear about yours/rp with you ehehe.

[icanopenjars]

I know the feeling! I am much harsher to my XIV chars than the others. My last one just died to practicing black magicks without a soulstone in an attempt to lift a curse on his bloodline. Oh boy.

I read that on the live Q&A. I really hope that is coming!

I am down to just Val the dusky at the moment, but I will be establishing a handful of other chars soon. I feel you there. I'm so busy doing content, gearing up for Alex and getting my gathering to 60 I sometimes forget I'm an RPer. I am always up for adventuring, running dungeons, and rp. :D

My main currently is Valentinoix Thibault.

[shadowskin]

Man yeah! I have some sad deaths planned out for my characters, but they aren't for a long while because I am too busy loving all of them to let them die someway or another!

But yeah I am up for anything at any time! I am mainly on Erdeni Dotharl and Zanou'a Adveniho recently, so if you catch either of them feel free to send me a /tell! You can also come by my FC house any time you like, it's a mansion in the 2nd ward of lavender beds, plot 58!

[icanopenjars]

It really built up to it for months and he pretty much self-destructed.

I don't think I've seen you around but I shall! Same if you see me too.

My FC is Coral, Mist ward 6 plot 4, I believe. We always welcome random rpers into our house. The kitchen is fully stocked and there is always cake. We are such a fat fc.
