Currently listening tooooo: Zodiac <—–Same maker as Anubis, Aliyah. ;D
Guess what time it is? Rant time! Woot!
SMUGGLING! ARGH!
Pleeeeease tell me that I’m not the only one getting increasingly irritated by this.
Honestly, every single pq is run by smuggling! NO ONE wants to do things the long way! ANYTHING to avoid just a little work. I’m not trying to be a grouchy old man here, but it’s really starting to irk me now.
I go to join a Henesys pq and what do I see? A bunch of level 3x people yelling “J> SMUG AND RUSH PQ@@@@”. What? 6-7 minutes too long for you or something? It’s an ULTRA short pq! But no, you’ve got people smuggling in a bunch of cakes. If it was easier, I bet they’d just smuggle in every colour of seed too. Am I the only one who actually enjoys fighting off the monsters and protecting our fair Moon Bunny?
Nothing huge here yet, but you’ve already got people smuggling in passes. Because you’ve gotta pass everything quick quick quick! I can’t really see this getting wide-spread due to the barrel stage though.
On a side note, I NEVER, EVER, EEEEVEEEERRRR, let anyone solo King Slime – unless they have an uber good excuse. It is a party quest boss and will therefore be fought in a party. No questions asked, I don’t care how luk-less, dex-less, str-less, or int-less (XD) you are.
Yeah, people smuggle passes in here, but it wasn’t always a problem. Nexon somehow managed to mess up a perfectly functional pq by BREAKING the mage door, so people smuggled. Even with it now fixed however, people smuggle in passes, just like Kerning passes except… THEY’RE FROM ANOTHER DIMENSION! OoooOooooOooo…
Ahem. If you wanna get the pq done fast, you smuggle in tickets. HECK! Smuggle in the keys if you wanna skip Alishar! Again, I’m one of the few people that ENJOYS banding together and fighting big bosses.
Another side note – what’s this whole JMS pattern business for stage 8? How many seconds do you save doing that? 2, maybe 3 in total? You don’t look pro by doing it! Seriously!
Nothing to report here…but watch your backs. >.>
Normal run – do the stages, band together, fight the surprisingly tough Papa Pixie at the end, go through bonus, claim your prize. Huh? Not enough exp for you? Well…we didn’t make this pq to give you lots of exp. That’s what the monsters outside are for. What? You INSIST on staying and won’t get out of my face until you get more exp? Well then…
RUSH run – Do a few, easy stages, get some exp, leave. Efficient, but more boring than watching paint grow…I MEAN grass dry…I MEAN….WHATEVER! Huh? Still not enough exp? Well then…
SUPER HAPPY FANTASTIC ULTRA LEVEL BOOSTING RUSH run – Rushing too much work? Well then here’s SUPER rush! The only work you have to do is walk from room to room, for someone will have smuggled in EVERY piece you need! Because actually doing the ‘quest’ in ‘party quest’ is lame! (again, missing out on the big boss fight -.-)
GLITCH run – See, what you do for this is- *banned*
The smuggling era bugs me insanely. No one wants to do any work for exp anymore. Again, I know I may sound like a grouchy old man, but come on! It’s okay to do a pq without smuggling anything! FIGHTING BIG BOSSES SHOULDN’T BE A CHORE!
Well as I said, I went to HPQ on both my ranger and sniper. Basically, I help people protect the Moon Bunny with a super smexy arrow rain/eruption, follow them to bonus, kill some pigs, and pick up the drops. Then, when I got a good amount of stuff, I’d drop it all in the next pq.
After that, the newblets would follow me around going “plz”. Yes. That’s right. Just “plz”. It’s kinda funny. Wish I took a few screenshots.
OH! If you see a guy named Sambo16 in Bera, do me a BIG favour and defame him. He stole a glove that one of my kills dropped. It’s not that the glove was rare, it’s that I absolutely HATE people that loot stuff while in a party.
Anyway, that’s about it.
BYE NOW!
PS: Nothing against those of you that do smuggle. I just hate the entire concept and reasoning.
I thought you were going to say the smuggling eraser! XDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
That’d rock. But no such discovery yet.
Do you ever eat the eraser on your pencil?
No. I tend to use them rather than eat them. Do you know what they taste like? I’M CURIOUS NOW!
I’m going to erase you out of existance.
Not before I whiteout you. >.>
Smuggling ‘R Good ‘4 gettin’ banned!
Whiteout is yummy.
(Don’t ask how I know)
Actually, I haven’t really noticed the smuggling problem, but maybe that’s just ‘cos I never PQ anymore. And I don’t really go on anymore, so bleh.
But I agree 100%.
And I’ll be on the lookout for smugglers. o.o;;
See, how you smuggle in HPQ is- (Disclaimer, don’t kill me for this. If you show the barest amount of hostility towards my post, I have the rights to your car and bank account. If you are outright mad towards me, I own your firstborn child. In other words, I’m making a li’l joke.)
Well, first, you only have a 40% chance of getting enough passes in HPQ to smuggle. Then, you have to go the extra mile to defend Moon Bunny for a couple more minutes, depending on how good your party cooperation is. Which is usually pretty low. Making those darned noobs your downfall. Unless you have a pro with AoE (FLyFF term). Then, that poor bunny works like a sweatshop slave, cranking out one every ten seconds. You then go to the win shortcut to home or something. Stay back and drop the seeds. The part that trips everyone up is this: I will not deliberate on telling you the answer, which is the following: Which is very secret and is the trickiest part to do.
The thing you have to do is: *whacked on the back of the head*
Allusion to the Simpsons!
If you are pissed at me, read the entire post. Your tiny brain powered by a hamster wheel just might figure out that I didn’t actually tell you anything.
If you really want to know how to smuggle, PM me.
Then, you have someone besides the leader pick up everything else you get after 10 cakes.
Womg XD! -dies over your music-
This stuff is so freaken rad! Ahahaa! What kind of music is it? It’s like something I’ve never heard in my life and it fascinates me. Rofl. This is pretty cool stuff.
Sounds like you’re having a lovely time in Bera! I should pay you a surprise visit
I love your blogs, dude.
Yeah, I’m not into the whole smuggling thing.
It’s way too boring of a pq.
You have srush pq wrong, Scyne.
Srush (SuperRush) requires two (2) smugglers in your party. One for the storage piece, one for clouds. What happens is, if you don’t have a set of clouds, collect them, then rush. You then drop the clouds as soon as you get in, thus clearing the stage. Then, 2-3 people will stay behind to collect clouds for the next round. The other 3-4 people, will do lobby, and the free exp from storage. Everyone recieves the exp, even though they aren’t in the room. This method grants 20.5K (I think) exp every 5 minutes or less. Nice, eh?
Yes, my summary of it is a bit off, however the general concept of it remains the same, which is why I don’t like it.
Yeah, the exp is nice, but again, I enjoy fighting bosses, and for me, enjoyment > lvling/pro-ness
You can even pronounce Srush!
I was a 120% smuggler.
I was the leader, AND the smuggler. LOL. >.<”’
And I still beat about 80% of other leaders at clicking, EAT THAT!
So you were like. . . a leader, a smuggler, AND a member? YOU BEAST!
But i r not hungie.
But i r not hungie.”
Yup, but leader couldn’t get in with the items in the inventory, so I had to drop them. . .
And sometimes, blundering idiots lost ma items ’cause they looted too slow. >.<
