Post tamer

le 700 year old with child's body faec

Are brown tamers okay too?

nobody said that, pretty sure lorewise tamer is like 12 or 14

if someone roleplays that, then /shrug idk what you can do to complain about it, its just writing

If I can flag on her she can consent.

diary user where's the daily update

Nth for erping with a guy is the equivalent of blowing 5 dudes

*pomf* =3
W-what are we going to do in the grind spot I was occupying before you came along, outlaw-senpai?

not really but okay

I've enjoyed that many times before, but dunno why I just always forget to keep up communications with these people even though we have common interests.

no.

Other than fighting over grind spots, it's there really any benefit at all to open PvP? Do you get anything out of it in-game other than the satisfaction of knowing you outplayed/outgeared/out-afk-ganking-bastard'ed the other guy?

Nope.

not really

If you're a berserker, you can tag people down to 5-10% and then grab combo them until they die to monsters and potentially lose crystals.

Is the marketplace updated in real time? Do I benefit from bidding on an item or should I set it for notification and whip out a maid when it goes up?

No, for cash shop items they appear on the market around 30 secs to 2min after they are posted. For normal items it takes 10 to 20 min to show up. You mean pre ordering? That depends on the type of items you are trying to get.

Sometimes people get really mad.
If they say a no-no-word I report them so they get a 1 day to 1 week vacation.

My friend told me I should try to get a +15 Yuria Staff to help make leveling less painful. I've got enough silver to cover the price now, but every time it's shown up on the marketplace, it's gone within seconds.

>3 relic shards in 20 minutes
>2 of them in a row
does base fishing rod give extra luck or something?

...

You can either get Yuria or Rosar(I prefer the later, since it has the same atk of Yuria, but 1 extra slot).
You can try to pre order one with base price, but since witch/wiz is a popular class you might have a bit of trouble getting either of those.

nobody fucks with millenium, but I'd hit that

I was able to nab one just now, but thank you for the input.

whats up gamer dudes. lets see your main

How about Elsh though? That Kzarka tier accuracy is neat

Not sure, I didn't look into the leak, so I don't know the real stats for Elsh =x

Congrats user!

I think heilang just killed this guy!

am redy 4 shoot

redy 2 fish

I've read the pastebin, but which class is __fun?

the most fun is winning

Striker, prints tears and is unkillable. Plus some pretty fun combos you can pull off. Great in pve and pvp

Damn, ranger needs some love. Just saw a +13 Kzarka bow sit on the market for like half an hour.

rangers don't need love, they need buffs

I'm amazed that the devs are so uninterested in balancing the huge class disparities

I want to bend you, rip your panties, slip it inside and pull your hair while you try to gather water on the fountain

dude that's mad gay. you know he's a guy right

I guess they're more interested in pumping out power creep new classes and selling character bound inventory space and weight limit expansions to people who reroll.

A dude thats into scat at that. You dont want poop dick do you?

I'm Roleplaying with his character, not with the person behind it. If you don't like it, just ignore it, there's a reason why it's spoiled.

that would make gathering water rather difficult...
I don't roleplay as a boy
I don't like scat, thats gross

That's rather cynical. Games that do that too transparently tend to fail. My guess is that they do a subtler version of this, where new classes get to be a little overpowered for a while, but they try not to upset the balance too much.

But it's clearly not the whole story. Because Witch and Wizard are both very strong right now, and both are original classes.

ITC is never on the highscores, do they just not life skill?

Oh, ok. So it's like screwing a "transgender woman", basically not gay.

Except that's totally gay.

But that's the fun part

I mean I don't think theres anything I can say to change your mind you seem pretty set on calling ERP "gay", so, sure?
my gathering rank...

...

Explain to me how it isn't gay to engage in role play with another man for the sake of sexual pleasure

In the same way that's its not gay for a male author to write a sex scene and a male editor to make changes.

>Tfw Tet Kzarka Longbow, Bronze dagger and blue ultimate awakening.
>Tfw still feel weak asf.
I don't even know if I'm playing it wrong or if Ranger really is that bad. A-atleast it's fun playing ranger.

depends on the person, some people are just straight and just give the other person the benefit of the doubt and don't bring up their gender ooc(out of character) they just write a kinky sex story to fap to then log off, the gay ones are the ones who want to compare irl cock size and ask if you're also fapping while giving their skype info

like I know its not the same but I think a good example is; its not gay to fap to hentai a guy drew

it is if they're both jerking off while they exchange notes

Even if they're not in the same room?

Don't worry it will be quick (T^T )

quickies are kinky

see, you think of "gay" as meaning "aroused by beards and penises", whereas I see it as meaning "engaging voluntarily in non-reproductive sex acts with other men". To you it makes sense to say "it's not gay if the man seems like a woman", to me it makes sense to say "it's gay if what looks like a woman is really a man".

Neither statement has very much meaning, as "gay" is not an especially important category of sex acts. The more important thing is that it is wrong to engage in any kind of sexual fantasizing. But I don't expect you to agree with that.

Well, in that case I suppose you take erotica at all to be wrong. Which is a fair stance to take. I personally take gay as meaning "homosexual intimacy, either romantic or sexual, but not counting platonic"

To further explain that, I don't consider erotica or roleplay to be exclusively intimacy.

Tamer with boots!

>whereas I see it as meaning "engaging voluntarily in non-reproductive sex acts with other men"
And this is where your definition gets a bit off. You see, there's no sex involved in ERP, we are writing a fantasy, the same way a book writer does in his book, the difference is that it's a interactive process, because each one is writing THEIR CHARACTERS, not themselves.
I also don't fap during the session, I like to take my time and focus on the things happening and them, after the session is done, I enjoy it as a, let's say, fanfic or ero novel.

The idea being that, because each roleplayer is disembodied, they are, in the context of the erotic play, sexless, or voluntarily-gendered? IE, if a man controlling a woman's virtual likeness pretends to be a woman, when we talk about the sex act, we treat his character as a woman?

But that this does not extend to real-world sex acts, because the agent is not properly disembodied, ie, though he may be female in appearance, his body is, factually speaking, male?

I take back my accusation from before, where I implied that you were a subjectivist. Clearly you aren't.

Where my disagreement enters in is that I don't think we can treat people as disembodied characters without willfully overlooking the fact that their body is engaged in the roleplaying, especially via arousal, even if we cannot see it. The act is not purely taking place in the virtual realm, but does also include two aroused men sitting at their computers.

...

That's a fair enough stance. I think that though the two males (agents) henceforth are aroused, their arousal comes from the shared collaborative erotica rather than emotional or physical intimacy with each other. This means that the agents' gender doesn't matter, just the relation between the agents and the roleplay.

I also consider there to be levels of homosexuality, so if you consider homosexuality a boolean value we might have a disconnect there as well.

...

I finally got my nodes set up, a nice surplus of contribution points, and a good chunk of energy. It's time to move on from Velia to Heidel. Wish me luck, lads.

BEHOLD RATFORD THE GIGANTIC CAT!

Its 2 dudes beatin off to text and pixels made by them. Its gay

Is it possible to reduce the game's resolution lower than 1280x720?

Why can't I craft ingots? As far as I know, it only needs 10 melted ore.

so all pornography is gay unless it was made by a woman?

i forget but i think you need a knowledge for it

Its like bein right nezt to the director whos beatin off and tellin ya whats happenin amd you beatin off to it too. Either way beatin off is weak get yourself a girlfriend or a slam piggy and play the mmo like youre supposed to.

Holy crap, this armor is lewd as hell.

I'm sorry I have to post this too.

Yeah, you need "Heating - Beginner". Here's a guide I followed for it.

What's this I see with people running around with weapons that are usually upgradeable 1-15, but somehow they're now PRI, DUO, etc.? Is that any additional upgrade step once they've reached 15 or something?

Yes, you can use special black stones that cost around 4 mil to try to get a weapon to PRI, DUO, etc. I would look up an enchanting guide on youtube since there are more things to consider for the system such as fail stacking.

>my first character from around launch was tamer
>dropped her after awakening because witch was more fun
>tag system coming out and i think tamer might be the best choice for it
>go to change how she looks
>can't get any of them to look good no matter how long i spend
what are some cute tamer presets from the beauty album and what is the cutest tamer costume? i have vixen and daru on her right now but i'm already sniping for a rakshande or anemos for my witch so might as well add in more costumes

>fail stacking
Jesus christ, p2w rng rears its ugly head.

What? There's no p2w in failstacking are you high?

the cute ones aren't in the beauty album.

My main is a boy (female)!

I'm trying to find Lourne's Lost Shoes they drop at Lake Kaia apparently? Does it matter what I kill there? I've been killing the Fat Catfishmen and the little mobs around them, does anyone know if that'll work?

Yes, they drop from catfishmen, I accidentally got a pair when I was leveling a while ago.

OWO

This is rather random, user

Ok, thanks. I just got the armor in like five minutes so I probably just got luckier with that than I am with the shoes.

I mean that
>insanely expensive
>ridiculously low chances of success unless you spend even more ridiculous amounts of time and in-game money
are classical hallmarks of p2w games, and a lot of whales do skip the endless grind for money by selling pearl shit on the market.

youre just asking to be raped at this point you fucking slut

Does a reform stone affect my chances of enhancement?

Say I have a +15 green weapon. If I use an ultimate reform stone on it will it then be more difficulty to upgrade it to pri/duo/tet?

I've gotten so many of those while at the catfishmen it's like a goddamn cobbler's graveyard down there.

no.

are there any places to find them or am I SOL?
i just want a cute tamer but i'm awful at creating a character from scratch

alri thanks

Ah are you the kuno I told about it? Glad you got it

So i have a weapon called Kalis Kriegsmesser and it's 12+
Should i keep upgrading it?

You haven't really played the game enough, have you?
