All I can say is WHY did SE not make Dynamis like this?! First of all, the event only lasts about an hour. This is really nice because an hour is nothing in comparison to 3hrs of having to stay at your computer without any breaks. And second, throughout the event you are earning "Ancient Beastcoins" which are distributed to the members at the end of the run, which go towards either upgrading your AF1 set to AF1+ 1, or for purchasing other nice gear.
So unlike Dynamis where you can go months without ever actually being lucky enough to have the AF you want drop, and then only to be outlotted by someone else... every run you actually earn something. It feels so much more rewarding doing Limbus, I only wish Dynamis could be this great.
But anyways, KeitaroPrime/KeitaroAeon created a new branch called KeitaroOmega and we went in to Tenemos on Tuesday night and kicked butt. We only had about 14 people, and I think mostly everyone got about 5 ancient beastcoins and we had a few of the AF+1 upgrading items drop. The fights were pretty easy from what I could tell, and we only had a couple of deaths but those were more or less because of being one shotted by a critical on low health.
It was really interesting getting to see all the types of mobs we had to fight. The first floor had black mandragoras, the second floor had opo-opos and I think one of the last levels had dhalmels. It was nice having variety in the kinds of mobs that we had to fight, because it meant that my job actually had something to do! Different bar spells needed to be cast, different status curing spells were needed and it kept me busy which was nice. I hate being healer and hardly having to heal because people keep their shadows up ; ;
We are suppose to have a run Saturday night, but i'm not quite sure yet if i'll commit to that only because weekends have always been my "LS help" time where I try to organize events to help on seeing as that's usually the most convenient time to get enough people together. We'll see how things go though, i'm really enjoying Limbus so if no one needs my help I might join on the Saturday run as well.
And the only other stuff to really post about, is the status of SpiftasticAdventures. For about 3 months or more now, we've been without our original leader Archmage. He's had some financial things to take care of and wasn't able to reactivate his account, so he passed on leadership to me for a bit. It was suppose to only last about a month, but unfortunately in life things don't always work out the way we want to and he hasn't been able to come back.
Unfortunately though, when it comes to Dynamis i'm really only good with the duties of the tank. I'm not really good on knowing more than the basics for other jobs, and as a result I haven't felt at all like a leader because I can't really give the walkthrough of what the group needs to do. And on top of that, every run we had less and less people starting showing. I don't mind the people that have had breaks because of RL, or just wanted to enjoy summer but I am extremely annoyed with the people who never posted or notified someone to say "hey, i'm not going to be around" or even "hey, i'm quitting". There's way too many self-centered people in this game that are inconsiderate and thats one of my biggest pet peeves.
So needless to say, eventually our numbers were so few that we had to start cancelling runs. And this continued, until we had cancelled 4 runs in a row and decided the shell was dying and we had to do something.
As of right now, we had an offer from another player named Zaus who is starting up a dynamis shell, and has about 10 people that he would like to merge with our shell. So, our group decided it would be for the best, and come next tuesday we'll see how things look because both our groups will be meeting up and being issued a new pearl.
Me personally, I think i'm about done with Dynamis for right now. I have a lot going on in real life (company I worked for is closing down our office, so i'm out of work) and the stress and organization that Dynamis requires feels to be too much for me at this point. You have to pay attention to attendance, update it and keep track of a bit all the while making sure your group is filled with good players and that everyone's moral is pretty high. And me being the type of person that wants to do a perfect job and doesn't like "any less", well right now its too much for me. I feel like i've failed SA because we've pretty much died out, and I was never an expert on everything about dynamis so I never felt like I should have been "the leader" of the shell. I had help from two other officers (Acts and Kizaryo) but unfortunately they too had to take some time off and weren't always available to help in the areas I wasn't so good at.
I'm a bit bummed that out of 9 months of being an officer for the shell, I never managed to get the gear I had made a goal (Valor) but that's how this game works sometimes. Some people get really lucky, while others don't. The one good thing though is that out of all the Dynamis shells i've heard about, I think ours had a really great group of people. We were a lot more laid back than others, and very understanding to the needs of our members when it came to RL. And some of our members did manage to get 100c, as well as the AF they had been after so we did have our success. Its just a shame we didn't get to see it through to the end.
As for the new LS, i'll end up being an officer but because I have no idea what kind of work i'll end up getting (if I can find any) I won't know what my work schedule will be, and if i'll still be able to do dynamis. So for now i'll help get the group started (I just hope the new leader Zaus is organized like Archmage and our other officers were) and help out where I can until I no longer can't. But i'm going to step back quite a bit from the "leadership" role, for me at least its something that I need to take a break from so that I can worry about the other things I have going on in my life.
