Pet peeves: The return (Part 1)

TBC servers

Announcing 9.1, 9.1.5 and 9.2. I stopped believing Blizzard planned their expansions ahead. Itā€™s much like a child who forgot to do his or her homework.

I think at this point, at best they have a rough basic sketch, maybe a title.

Then they essentially just ad lib the story up until then with whatever seems cool to them.

Just found out that the order I placed for some mini paints over a month ago wonā€™t be shipping for ages to come, still, because GWā€™s spraypaints are labelled incorrectly

Fun!

My internet keeps cutting out since Iā€™ve moved the office, and it keeps disconnecting me during dungeons in FF14. So aggravating.

Ele, what else can I say except

maybe later

I seem to have passed my internship interview, butā€¦

theyā€™ve been waiting for approval from HQ for more than a month now. Last week I even ringed them up to state that Iā€™m prepared to work for a lower compensation fee (I might have foolishly mentioned the word ā€œfreeā€ā€¦ not sure if being that desperate was worth it) and was answered with a chuckle and a cheerful ā€œIā€™ll call you back ASAPā€, but that was one week ago as well by now. Meanwhile the clockā€™s ticking. FFS man. Do I just continue waiting? Should I call again? Mail? I probably just ought to forget about it for now and continue looking for a different internship just in case, but this particular internship opportunityā€™s just too goodā€¦

If thereā€™s one thing I learned during my numerous job applications is that you need to go through harassement levels of callings to get anywhere with them. Every company is more or less swarmed with problems and peopleā€™s problems alongside theirsā€¦ Youā€™re very forgettable, so you have to call, sometimes even on a daily basis.

So yeah, Iā€™d tell you to call again every 2-3 days and send an email in the middle.

Guess Iā€™ll try that, thank you for the advice :flushed:

Since the Able Sisters have moved in, I have far less storage.

Had to build an extra room just so I could get more storage.

(Animal Crossing BTW)

The absolute cheek of the Dragoon story quest giving me a full set of cool armour at level 45, except leaving out the chest piece, arguably the most important, until the level 50 quest.

YO LIKE WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO WEAR? YOU THINK Iā€™M GOING TO WALK AROUND IN AN ALMOST FULL SET? NO

its funny because at 50 they also give you a better version of it so you never get to wear the chest piece.

god that is annoying

iā€™m 49 at the moment and just engaging in what iā€™m assuming is the final quest chain of a realm reborn where i go after ultima weapon

luckily going after ultima weapon in this game isnā€™t as tedious in 7 where you have to continously chase him across the entire map until he decides heā€™s going to stay still and fight

oh my sweet summer child.

Thatā€™s the bit i hope theyā€™ve cut the most out of though.

Lets just say it was the bit that most people quit at because its the WORST bit of the game.

Worth it in the long runā€¦but damn did they not make it easy.

Oh yeah, it is.

You get one of the two BEST expansions after.

But holy hell is it an uphill battle

ā€¦ that i have done more than 10 times (not since the revamp though)

Okay so youā€™re saying after Ultima Weapon is the most tedious bits?
