http://ascule.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Musings about virtual universes and my adventures through MMOs. Wednesday, October 29, 2014. 24x out - Next coil jobs. FFXIV 2.4 is out! New content, Rogue/Ninja and the final coil of Bahamut. Hopefully this does mean that they are also on course to releasing 3.0 next year. I guess that there will be a 2.5 release at some point with more stuff for Crystal Tower before the 3.0 release? I'm under the impressions that there's supposed to be a 3rd CT before the expansion. Tanks: 2 primary, 2 secondary. We do...

Ascule's Adventures: Glamours, clearing content and the next grind!
http://ascule.blogspot.com/2014/04/glamours-clearing-content-and-next-grind.html
Musings about virtual universes and my adventures through MMOs. Monday, April 21, 2014. Glamours, clearing content and the next grind! One of the new major changes that the FFXIV 2.2 patch brought was the addition of "glamours", aka the "vanity system" that is common in many different MMOs. This brings out lots of imaginative outfits and gives a good reason for going back to farm lower level dungeons. Ever have that dream where you go fight an angry dragon without pants? Have you seen my skirt? Other con...

Musings about virtual universes and my adventures through MMOs. Friday, June 6, 2014. Thoughts on the 2.28 FFXIV patch. So, quick post on my thoughts on the 2.28 FFXIV patch. All things that people have been asking for since launch. As for new content. let's see. they added the Novus weapon, next step in the progression from animus (requiring TONs more myth farming, and even more spiritbinding or gil buying! All designed to be a fucking waste of time. That's all I have to say on this subject.

Ascule's Adventures: Respecting time and lack thereof
http://ascule.blogspot.com/2008/09/respecting-time-and-lack-thereof.html
Musings about virtual universes and my adventures through MMOs. Tuesday, September 23, 2008. Respecting time and lack thereof. Warning: Rant follows. you might want to skip this post. I did a quick calculation and figured that we just blew through the equivalent. Of 1-1 1/2 man-months worth of work with the two ZNM. Failures last night. Counting time we spent on the other pops, farming zeni. Etc, we basically spent in total over 200 hours between everyone participating in the event. In an ideal case, you...
