"3 hour fight" l m a o try <50mins. Were you even there lol?
I was there. Arthars getting the killing blow was not just the only reason you guys totally made asses of yourselves. The whole fight was a bunch of mistakes one after another. I mean really. You guys made him Spike Flail like 3 times. Only because you had so many people there (40+) did you manage to keep a hold of it by just constantly sending more people at him as more people died. And you wonder why people compare you guys to TTK. Well atleast TTK wasnt the last linkshell to kill all three kings. Even though TTK and FS took forever to do it and wiped far to many times trying. The only trouble CKD ever had with Land Kings was getting claim.
I was there when arthars chanspelled at 2% incase you guys wiped or it went unclaimed. You sure as hell didnt see any CKD getting ready to steal it. I know because I was the one giving the orders to all CKD members. Dont let me diss the person your whole linkshell looks up to lol. FS chooses to be ignorant to the history of HNMLS on ifrit since they really wernt even a real HNMLS until the patch that helped claim HNMs. Another reason I look at TTK and FS as the same type of linkshell. You didnt bother camping until it was "easy" to get claim. I personally wish the claim system never changed.
I think
this picture sums up how FS preformed during that Nidhogg fight.
Decimus is bitter towards FS because he was unfortunatly part of that linkshell for a brief amount of time. Long enough to realize what a joke it was and leave for CKD. I personally think Decimus is one of the greatest additions to CKD. I was happy to have him join and everyone in CKD is with me when I say he helps make CKD as awesome as it is today.
Dalek I wouldnt put you down. However the linkshell youre in only holds you back. Dynamis and HNMs are not Fate-Sealers strong suit. FS needs to realize that its nothing more than a social LS that
tries to keep up with the big boys but never really does. You and I both know that in fate-sealers youll never really live up to your full potential. Its something I see in a few players in FS and TTK players.
Its a thin line between FS and TTK. While TTK is open door and lets in just about anyone, FS does limit the people who can join, however the screening process is limited and bias from what I can tell. I could be wrong (as always). The biggest problem with FS is how players are treated and that is not something you can fix. I can bash your linkshell all day long about being ass and sucking balls and the truth is that with enough work and motivation FS
could overcome it. The problem is that will never happen. There are many reasons why. I wont get into that whole thing i think everyone in FS knows. I think Fate-Sealers is like TTK in that the name has already been tanted from the general publics point of view.
You can sit in your linkshell and circle jerk all day long but no one is going to be proud or happy out side of your linkshell. Rationalize all you like about how it doesnt matter what other people think on this server.
In real life its what others think that doesnt matter. In a video game, you better believe its impressing people that counts. After all why do you want awesome loot? Why do want your character to be unique? Why do you want to stand out from everyone else? Why do you think they have High Scores in arcade games? Seperate this game from reality folks.
Massive Multiplayer Games are all the same. Everyone is after loot. The problem is, its not the loot people want. Its the respect for having the loot people seek. Getting loot and not getting respect makes the loot worthless. Just like players who buy gil and obtain items.
It's the idea of being famous (or infamous) among all the peers you play with. The idea that people know you but you dont know them. The idea that people look up to you. The chance for Fate-Sealers to make a mark on the server and have its members glorifide has come and gone. they missed the mark. Much like TTK, it was the way you rose to the top that left other players with a bad taste. That is something you can not change.
Im sure everyone sits here reading my posts and thinking all I do is sit and bash other linkshells. Well, I do. That doesnt mean I don't like other linkshells. I happen to think Valour is an awesome linkshell. Why? Zelphes is a great linkshell leader who like myself, actually cares about his linkshell. When FS dropped from our Dynamis raids for petty and stupid reasons (of jelousy) Valour stood up and took their place. I could not be more happy with the outcome. We have less players in dynamis and we are far far more effective and happy.
Not really sure what my point is, I guess I just found Dalek's comment about "youre bashing only makes us stronger" was funny. I gave my reasons above why you can sit and think youre getting somewhere. You can get stronger and you can kill more HNMs, but you cant escape your past. TTK cant and you cant. TTK even has a better HNM record than FS yet you sit and think that your better than them? Personally I rate you guys both the same. 1/10 Ruby Faces. Id rate lower but that rating system doesnt go lower than one, sorry.
The reality is that if I was smart I would just ignore TTK and FS. Youre much less of a threat in those linkshells. The problem is I see potential in some of their members. I cant help but feel bad. Im sure all those players know who they are.
Sorry to end this with such a horrible and over used cliche, but a linkshell is only as strong as their weakest member. TTK and FS depend on numbers, CKD depends on strong players. That is the difference that puts CKD above everyone else.
Trust me, I could invite 10 SMN and take out Wryms too, but whats the point?
