So. I was logged on last night, Christmas eve no doubt, and I get a tell from a friend
Friend>> Hey, can you help us out with something? We need one more person for a full alliance, just don’t tell anyone.
So I said, sure, why not, and geared up my Ranger and set out on my merry way to Halvung. It was around 10 PM, so I wasn’t really that flustered.
I arrived and we were buffing (as seen above) and we got ready to fight.
We started fighting, and we started well, as no better way to put it. Getting owned.
As we got owned for an hour, I got pissed. We got him down to 50% and he started whooping our asses even more, so I decided to get a D2 and come back as my NIN.
When I come back as my NIN, He’s at around 47%, and I start voking and trying to tank and the other tank bites it and I get hate.
This is when I realize, I still have ATK food on from RNG. Whoops. So I suck it up and die after a few hits of nonresponsive WHMs not knowing that I was a new tank (no haste or paralyna whupz.)

So we finally get him to 23%, and all is going well when
Cerberus readies Gates of Hades
Thats right folks, he readied his alliance-wiping move and we didn’t stun it in time.
After he uses his end-all be-all move, I get owned, and the entire alliance gets owned. We start losing people and we’re down to around 3 people left when someone runs up to it and Calls for Help.
Why did we call for help, you ask?
Well, we needed help, duh.
TMO had just come up to watch us as someone had informed them either Cerb. was up or that it was at a low HP and ready to use his alliance-wiping move, and they all started to gather at around 35%. We were getting a bit frustrated when they gathered and suddenly we lose claim after the nice big alliance wiper, and one of their PLDs comes out to voke it. We get hate back soon, and then theres almost no people left, and the mindset comes to the people that,
If they didn’t fight it down to 23%, they should have to fight it down from 100%. It wasn’t their monster to begin with.
So, we CFH, and they’re frickin’ pissed man, I’m tellin’ ya. But anyway, that was my FFXI day. Complete with
TMO Player : WTF GUYS?!
and everything.
Have a Merry Christmas. lawl.
