dang, ok.

Ill delete it and join bera, im gonna try to get the same name.

[ghost_of_eb]

Dude, don't delete it.....just make a new character. xD

[gonzo4life44]

na, I hate to have more then 5 characters. Any ways, if im gonna make a theif on bera anyways. so ill just givew all my mesos and valuable items to my other character on broa. so it kinda works out.

[OniSplitter]

As for the ranks: How about Oni, Heavy, Standard, Light, Beginner, and stuff like that? IT WOULD MAKE WAY MORE SENSE!

Hmm... Oni *points at monitor*... Oni *points at Login ID* I see a pattern forming here. xD

No seriously, I think that is a much better ranking system, I mean seriously... who here is Greek? =P I was trying to think of something involving FFR or SM or DDR or anything of the sort, and I guess I overlooked the obvious. >.< Good thought though ~ Song difficulties FTW

[banditcom]

Uhh the DDR rankings are lame... Might as well say AAA, AA, A, B, C, D...

Again, I like the Greek. Alpha, Beta, etc sound awesome

Cool Gonzo... We can help you level with teeth. However, only come over when we can give you like 5000+ teeth otherwise it'd be pointless as it'd use an hour of your time that you could have spent training and getting the same exp anyways.

I wanted to post this when I hit 72 but I forgot and it never took the screen.


I don't understand the logic of 95% of the players setups, for any game. The default keys for this game completely lack efficiency (as are most FPS). I do not understand the logic in an FPS to use the arrow keys. Why? What's the sense in that? All the other keys that you'd use are defaulted in the typing area. And if you want to type a message, you have to completely adjust your hands. And even if you moved the keys to different ones, the keys are far from the arrow keys in comparison to if you set the movement keys to esdf or wasd... It just boggles my mind how anyone can play games with horrible setups. It's like as if I switch the function of the A and Start buttons on the GCN controller.. It makes zero sense...

Even Pat was like "well I use the arrow keys in CS and I'm one of the top ranked in the world". Yea, so? You'd improve with a better key setup...

*shrugs* Whatever.

Notes about my setup:
Main functions are designated to main fingers.
Lucky 7 for index, Drain for middle, Jump for thumb.
Pickup at S because it's a vital function and my ring finger is already resting there.
Attack is still there to undo Dark Sight.
Flash Jump is set to E, as it's easier to move my middle finger up one than it is my index finger.
Booster, Haster, and Avenger are set to their respective keys for obvious reasons.
Copy Cat is out of the way, as I don't use it now, and it'd be easy to hit even when I do use it. I'll leave it there probably indefinitely.

Potting is done with right hand, as it'd be retarded to do otherwise. As it's much easier to pot while already doing the movement (jumping forward/backward) than while attacking (hard to explain). Also instead of elixers, I usually have pure waters that I buy from Jane. However, there was no level 40+ that was on and in Victoria that did the level 40 Jane's quest completely. So I bought elixers with my mule in Ellinia, since they are cheaper.

Whisper and Messenger are set up top next to the other chat types. Guild chat will be placed up there as well when it arrives.

Also when typing to others, I only have to move my right hand, as my left hand is already in place.

You can't argue my setup. It's as efficient as you can get. The only way it could be more efficient is if I could change the movement keys to ijkl.

[gonzo4life44]

So after 20 minutes of rolling the die, MrSkillz mas made into bera. Current level: 6.

[Tokzic]

You can't argue my setup. It's as efficient as you can get. The only way it could be more efficient is if I could change the movement keys to ijkl.

Technically speaking, you're very right. Where my hands are, I have four keys available to my left hand. Four keys. These are Jump/Tele/HP Pots/Lit. On my right, I have movement, as well as a couple of skills - Del (a giant key for me) is my MC, and PageDown is my MG. I also have MP Pots on PageUp. An alright setup for now, but when I rack up a few more skills (Cold Beam in a matter of levels, Med, etc.) I'm going to have to completely redo my setup. Probably will be easier to switch now, actually.

Also, Greek sounds better than step difficulties. Besides, lots of the people that access the forums don't even play FFR/SM, and lots of the ones that do only do so minimally.

[B0NK]

i feel left out
:'(

[Chromer]

Hey maybe the Big Update IS Zakum. It does say you asked for it so train hard so you don't get raped by Zakum's stone arms bishes.

[falconsfan14]

Yes! Finally out of those lvl 8 noob clothes!


How dow my stats look?


And do i need to start upping magic guard?

[padpod]

Omg. At your level your Max MP increase should already be maxed out. I maxed out mine asap and I had 613 max mp when I was your level. Sheesh. Max out Max MP increase first, then MP recovery next, then claw, then magic guard last for me.

How you up your stats up to you =/

[Tokzic]

Yeah, you really screwed up your skills.

You should have only enough points in MP Recovery to get Max MP Increase, and you should have maxed that ages ago. Also, you should have enough points into Magic Claw for it to be decent already.

[ghost_of_eb]

Jason:
1) You act like the default setup for FPSes is with the arrow keys. I haven't played an FPS with that default setup since Duke Nukem, so I dunno what the hell YOU'VE been playing.
2) What's efficient for one person is not always efficient for others. For example, some people hit left shift/control/alt, while others hit the ones on the right. Being left-handed, I hit the ones on the left, and since all my main actions (attacking, jumping, etc) are on the left, it makes sense that my attack keys are ctrl and shift.
3) I like having my pots on insert, home, etc because of the quick slow window. I like being able to see how many of each pot I have left so I'll know if I need to restock any time soon. Personally, I don't understand why somebody would have that window minimized. That's like choosing to play without a HUD in an FPS game so you just kinda guess when you need to reload. It'd be pretty retarded.
4) My main keys (attack, jump, pickup) are on ZXC. When typing, hands tend to rest on ASDF, which is right above ZXC. Thus, in the split second it takes for me to hit enter, my left hand has moved up and is ready to type. I've only died while typing in freak accidents, like when one weak monster knocks me into a group of big ones or when I'm not really paying attention.
5) It's not always great to have all your keys crammed together. For instance, my magic guard key is Insert, which is a bit out of the way. This is because I rarely need MG, and turning it on accidentally is a pain in the ass, because HS.net is wrong and you can't disable buffs by clicking on them.
6) Why argue about key setups? That's like arguing about how somebody arranges their clothes in their drawers. Yeah, maybe having all shirts in one drawer and only pants in another makes sense to you, but maybe another person puts their clothes in by outfit so they only have to open one drawer on any given day. It's all a matter of preference, which is a matter of opinion, which is a matter of YOU CAN'T BE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT, so just hush.

Falcon:
lol, restart. You should have followed a guide. While there's nothing wrong with getting MP Recovery instead of claw early on (I did it because I'm a cheapass and hated potting), you have several screwed up by not getting MP Increase. You cannot right this wrong simply by adding to it now, so seriously, restart. And don't worry, level 18 is not a big deal. Also, don't delete this character. Make a new one, and once you get to the same point, transfer your clothes over so you don't have to pay for new ones.

About the guild:
Greek letters have absolutely jack shit to do with FFR. Song difficulties is for DDR/SM, but at least that's related. FFR isn't a frat or something, guys. Whatever we make the ranks, they oughta at least be related to FFR somehow. Hell, we're a forum, so why not call the ranks Admin, Moderator, Chat Mod, Normal User, Moogy? That last rank would be especially nice, seeing as how he hates this game so much. Seriously though, Greek letters? Screw that.

[banditcom]

1) ehh I am referring to older FPSs...
2) Huh? What you said makes no sense.... Since you're left handed, you say you hit stuff with the left side of your left hand? Or have to be on the far left side of the keyboard? Huh? Main fingers are index and middle, regardless of what handed you are...
3) I'm a sin. I know how many pots I need before my stars run out. I repot when they run out. That gives me the time frame. Otherwise I'd have it open.
4) No movement of hands > moving hands, even if it's slightly. How many benefit? Probably very little, but still..
5) Obviously, which is why I have CC placed on page up...
6) It's advice. Take it or toss it aside. I know you tend to ignore other's advice, like mine, quite often. You can do what you want, since you're "don't say I told you so" and "I decided to try this on my own not because of what you had said" instead of "thanks, I should have gave your advice an actual try sooner". I'm trying to help, not trying to say I'm better than everyone.

[ghost_of_eb]

Why I said something about being left-handed or right-handed: A right-handed person who normally uses right shift/ctrl/alt might put their pots on those keys, since the right hand usually does the potting. I stuck my attacks on those keys instead, since my left hand does the attacking and since I'm a lefty I'm used to using the lefthand ctrl/alt/shift keys.

Anywho, the main thing about a control system is whether or not the person is comfortable using it, not whether it's the most efficient. Who cares if you're able to get to typing faster or if your keys are in locations that make sense if getting to those locations bothers you? I was fine with the default setup for a while, but I noticed that if I played for too long, the awkward way I had to hold my hand bothered me and kinda hurt, which is why I changed it to what it is now. Moving my fingers up 2 rows is easier for me then moving then down 1, which is why my keys start at the bottom (ZXC) instead of in the middle. It's more of a comfort thing, and I think you fail to see that. Don't act like this is the same as Jr. Pepes vs Jr. Yetis or that I'm constantly ignoring your advice. This is personal opinion, and I can only think of that one instance where I was hardheaded, and afterwards I did admit that you were right all along.

Also, moving from the arrow keys to enter takes longer than it does to move from ZXC to ASDF, so there is no time difference there, since my left hand is on ASDF before the chat is even active and able to be typed in.
