Final Act of 2020

Public


To continue from last blog...

When the reset happened on Tuesday, I was wondering what I should do next with my game time. With all the horrible experience on E10s parties on PF, I think I should stop doing it myself. Given that my sub will run out soon, loot is meaningless to me. I had already seen 2% enrage on that fight so I really shouldn't ask for more.

I didn't want to do E9s either. Last week I cleared it on a almost-0.1%-wipe. If I joined a "farm" party, they will expect me not to fail at all. Not to mentioned, I have already forgotten about the fight given I almost spent all my free time on E10s last week. Then, there was a PF caught my eye. It was a static looking for one spot to fill for a E9s kill. I thought for a while if I should bother. I suppose, at least it is a kill party, not farm. Maybe I should help out because I cleared the fight last week?

In my last post, Lil Cairn mentioned that "everybody has forgotten the fight already" in the JP servers. I have to tell you this, I am one of those "everybody". Really, I died to the knockback, died to the large aoe, and the list goes on. It almost like I need to die once to remember the mechanics. By the 3rd pull I was already worrying if those people will kick me.

Fortunately, I didn't got kicked this time, and my memory of the fight did come back. As soon as I have seen P1 and P2, everything came back to me and I stopped f--king up. It did take us a lockout, eventually we hit 1% enrage. Then in the last pull, we finally killed the boss when she was enraging.

All of these took 2 hours.

Still, it is the best thing happened to me in the week. Despite my mess up, I feel happier to be able to help someone than clear the fight myself.

After that I joined another E10s "kill party". Gosh, what a good way to ruin an evening.

Same thing as last week, not "kill party" but "trap party". This fight is serious annoying. It took me about 5 hours to get from know nothing about this fight to enrage at 2%. Then it took the next 10 hours of wiping at the first 2/3 of the fight.

Sometimes I wonder, maybe it is not just other people, but I am also one of those bad players. Maybe it is really the furthest I can get.

I have this feeling of helplessness, that not only I can't solve the problem myself, I don't even have people I can talk to.

The bright side of things is I am now very comfortable with the SMN rotation, after doing it again and again. I also getting good at doing voidgate and shadow. I did the best in the first couple pull, but then focus just drops as time goes by.




I have a think about what I want to do in this game other than have a go of another e10s trap party. My friend just re-sub, so I want to hang out with him a bit. There is also another story series that I was preparing. Some parts of it is similar to Annabel's MINE advanture. Back in patch 5.3, SE made this game free to play until lv60. At that time I decided to create a free trial account and re-experience the reformed/reduced msq. Of course, one adventure leads to another.

The title of this series will be "You Don't Pay My Sub But Neither Do I". It comes along the line that I don't pay sub as a free trial player. Then it seems like the only time when people talking about paying sub is when they say "don't tell me what to do...."


If you are not supposed to tell me how to play the game when you don't pay my sub, what happen when I also don't pay my own sub?

Anyway, I have prepared a table of content for this part of the story.

I will be making final edit as I post them.

So much for now.
