Previously on Dragon Ball ERP:

There are like 6 "girls" in my FC and they all have boyfriends

What the fuck m8s?

According to the lore book:
>Y'shtola prides herself on taking care of her feet
>her guilty pleasure is getting pedicures despite her proper appearance
>has a large collection of shoes and boots
She is PERFECTION

Everything will be the same as it was last year.

Feels Bad Man.

*frowns unoptimistically*

harambe can't die twice

what happens to your airships/company workshop stuff when you demolish a free company house and move to a different lot?

do you lose your airships or are they still 'there' until you build a new workshop?

all foot fags belong in concentration camps

except maybe tarantino because he makes fun of himself for being one

lose em all

lf for someone to spend time with then throw me away like the trash i am

Got two lines on one character and one on the other

Never expect grapes to show up when they are needed.

Dilemma here...

>Start playing with 2 other friends
>I'm wanting to play it way more then they are and will probably keep subscribing
>Don't want to pass them up in levels

Is it ok if I just keep going without them? Is the level sync thing good for helping them if I pass them by like 20 levels for the main story?

I want to wait for them, but I also want to just keep on playing.

Post cute maid Cat/Lizard girls.

hello this is cat

s-so I guess I'd better strip the parts off the existing ships then?

You'll still be able to run dungeons and stuff with them.

yeah if you go into a dungeon with them you'll get scaled down so feel free to pass them up.

level synch will you down to their level for dungeons, and you can swap classes if you get too far ahead, and start from the bottom again!
Maybe have a main class you level up loads, and a lower level one you use when with them?

Post thighlanders!

Level other jobs and classes

They'll probably drop the game after a month and you'll be left alone anyway

her waist is almost as big as your thigh irl

i hate neo ebins

or just keep using that house, whatever floats your skyboat

what the fuck is a neo ebin

post butt

Please use the voice of my people to speak to me, thanks!

...

i'm jumping on the 4.0 housing district bandwagon (and also upgrading to a mansion)

neo new ebins are anyone you think is newer to the general than you, which obviously makes them inferior to you

...

>tfw PoTD was legit a huge a success and they will definitely add to it
>tfw it single-handedly made you rich

Feels good.

ya same??

Whats your Paypal.

Please do not harm my fictional daughter.

Thanks.

How is this game solo? I'm an extremely experienced MMO player, but I'm not a fan of guild drama I just like to play.

Will I be ok if I play solo for PVE and PVP? Also what solo class in your groups do you wish the most was more intelligent? I normally go tanks since it's the easiest class to fuck up a party normally.

I'm going Warrior and probably eventually Astrologistwhatever/Dark Knight. Maybe White Mage?

...

>tfw you realize how small this game is
>tfw you realize how 90% of the scenery will never be used or even seen by the majority of players thanks to being able to teleport everywhere
>tfw the latest token grind replacing the old token grind doesn't entice you anymore
>tfw you just can't make yourself give a shit any more
later gator

Scholar (comes out of arcanist++healer) is great for solo, you're like a dps with a healer pet.

The game plays fine alone, you have partyfinder, but having a comy FC is nice.

I need LISTS

Lists about CATS

Hi I'm cat too

See you tomorrow

only you care

I've been addicted to c@butt for over 2 years now.

It's a drug that I can't fight.

Game is very solo friendly. There are some dungeons you will have to run though duty finder for story. But other then that all the main story stuff is soloable no matter the job you take.

i can smell the grease

phew the grease

I want to lick the inside of your eyepatch I bet it tastes like salted popcorn.

Are you John Travolta?

'Cause I can smell the grease

Is this game still not dead

Not even close

...

>putt still mad two years later his cat got called greasy

The game can't die until the last mammet summons ________

pst ada
hey ada
sans asmr

hello which boy has the nicest RL hands ITT

Someone please link Ada's character profile.

Is right now a poor time to join?

So is Nocturnal sect never worth using?

weird

When you don't have a Scholar in the party, you should always be using Nocturnal Sect, so you at least know how to use both aspects of the job.

it's only really worthwhile if there's another ast in the party, because diurnal regens don't stack for whatever fucking stupid reason, or if you absolutely need to be able to instantly "heal" around 6-7k on someone.

AST should be allowed to stance dance.

The sect lock is a pointless and arbitrary restriction that makes no sense.

It would make solo ast retarded

lol no, and this is coming from an AST main

>be a worse WHM or a worse SCH, depending on your sect
>instead of letting you shift between them, they just buff Diurnal and make you a better WHM

I also want to be a cat someday.

AST should just be well designed instead.
its a joke right now despite the buffs because they were forced harder than an arranged marriage

You and Abe never respond to me.
I just want to cuddle ;_;

Nocturnal is strictly better unless you can not benefit from the shields for whatever reason(such as having another AST in the party.)

>be a worse WHM or a worse SCH, depending on your sect

did you write this post in July of 2015?

AST was in-fact a worse WHM or a worse SCH.

And now all they did was push WHM out of the meta

remember when a bunch of retards thought Alisaie was a Red Mage teaser?

I would love for you to explain in what ways Diurnal AST is substantively worse than WHM and Nocturnal AST is substantively worse than SCH.

There's a correct answer for at least one of these, maybe both, and I don't think you'll give a correct one anyway.

So what's the point in having multiple characters on this?

>Nocturnal AST
>gets a weaker shield than SCH while also not having the auto-heal pet

no

Fun with other races or on other servers

Storage space and erp alts

ERP.
Pretending you're new.

I need qt Cat or Lizard maid girl pictures for drawing references.
Can no one help me out?

>WHMs ask for a slight MP boost since 2.0
>shroud literally has not been touched at all and Assize was just a bandaid

>AST asks for every buff under the sun since 3.0
>they get it all and more, and effectively make WHM obsolete

For as much as Yoshida claims that BLM and WHM are his favorite classes, he sure loves to kick them to the curb.

Finish the previous stuff first!

...

close enough?

I could see this being a reason.
I don't erp. I'm on Goblin and it's a dead ass server so yea

>cats and lizards
>again

Why are our drawfriends so afraid of expanding their horizons?

The difference being that WHM had always been a strong healer while AST was trashcan for about a year.

Lethe please turn up your character lighting, its in your settings

...

Well the picture I was planning on doing was specifically about tails and maid outfits.

Draw them getting railed

I'm right though.

>tfw female midlander
>don't have a tail
>want straddle male au ra with arms around his neck and pretend his 2nd tail is my tail

is Soft the ERP FC?

Nope, though some people n it ERP, its not allowed in the FC chat!
This is an enforced rule.
But join anyway, its comfy!

Seconding
I need my fix of Mexican skinned cat maids getting fucked.

Stop that. Midlanders are for hug, not fug.

Practical reasons include having all crafting job specializations, getting to raid with loot more than once weekly.

It's at 100, I usually fix it with /gpose wizardry is bad but for once I didn't because of the water reflections, instead of just turning those off.

>character lighting, its in your settings
where?

No longer the case. Many of the cocklords Ada brought in have left the FC and many of the randoms Ada invited have gone inactive or were removed. DRAKN gained many more sluts over the past few weeks due to Soft's hemorrhaging.

You can also use the gpose lighting for great effect if the natural lighting in an area is gross. Play around with it and place it in different areas to soften up the overall feeling of the screencap. You can also make your character look super spooky with it if that's what you're going for.
