 * XD I don't collect boxes like that on my userpage, but it's worthy of keeping here. I do think it would be funnier if you had made the background color close to Entropy's sig color instead of maroon and made a linkie somewhere in it to the talkpage section about it. :P  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 17:55, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

 * So.... what was the reason you used those tags for? RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 01:11, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Well Kali, as you started talking about the userbox on my talk page, I could only assume that you had seen the userbox in question. Thus I would have no reason to show you the userbox itself. --> Suicidal Tendencie [[Image:Suicidal_Tendencie_Sig.jpg]] 13:18, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
 * But see, I wanted to show it on my talkpage without having to copy over the code once again, but I guess you think that it somehow belongs to you and I'm not allowed to wikify it. *confused* RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 15:05, 11 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Due to the licensing, what I submit does not belong to me. However, this site documents both the game, and itself. You do not edit the contributions of others unless it is an article that you are improving. That leads to an inaccurate account of what somebody has "said". --> Suicidal Tendencie [[Image:Suicidal_Tendencie_Sig.jpg]] 16:03, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

What was the purpose of "saying" the raw code of a userbox? And I thought anyone can do pretty much whatever they damn please on their own talkpage, it's the article discussions that have to be kept intact. RoseOfKali 16:08, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Ya, you can, but intellectual honesty and good debating hygiene compels you to add a note when you edited another person's edits in a way that is likely to affect the meaning. (Of course, some pranksters here don't always do that, but pranks are there to break the rules, which means the rules remain what they are.) -- ◄mendel► 16:34, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Ya. Well, I didn't think this was a debate or a prank or anything of that nature. ST just posted the userbox code with no comment, so I made it "visible" as I failed to see the meaning of posting raw userbox code with no comment.  But oh well, gotta love how people make problems where there aren't shouldn't be any...  I guess ST and I aren't just from Mars and Venus, we must be from different galaxies.
 * Well Kali, as you started talking about the userbox on my talk page, I could only assume that you had seen the userbox in question. Thus I would have no reason to show you the userbox itself.
 * So instead of showing be the box that I had already seen, he just decided to show me the code for it, but he still hasn't said why he showed me the code... O_O *still confused* RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 16:45, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

Most F*ed-up DC evar!
So I set up a death-level with a bunch of charr last night. Had some lag in the process, but I was hopeful. I came back in the morning, and behold 4 lvl 20's in the group 13, yay!

So I put on my armor, equipped my max bow of fortitude, and started wailing on them. After 2 kills I checked my level to be at 18 and 87%, and I picked up the 2 drops while looking for the third lvl 20 between the other charr who were like 9. I started attacking the third lvl 20 and DC'd... To my disappointment, I couldn't reconnect, but here's where the weird shit happens.

I logged back in to see myself in Ascalon, my armor in my inventory, my pulling bow equipped, without the 2 drops from my last 2 kills, and at level 18 and 85%!!!

WAT DA HEEEELLLLL!!!!! RoseOfKali 17:44, 17 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Fuck, ROLLBACK'D?! So anyways, weird... o-o" Never heard of that happening. --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]] -- (contribs) &emsp;(talk)  17:53, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I've had that happen before, where I get D/C in the middle of something important. One time, it was good - I d/c in the middle of Ruins of Morah, and when I get back in (manage to reconnect) they have won me Master's reward. :D But it's usually worse. Like that time I d/c at the Disc of Chaos after struggling through with 60% DP, and then didn't reconnect >.< [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 17:56, 17 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Viper, remember that one day we were trading random crap in the command post (don't even remember what it was), we both disconnected, and when we came back we had the trade reversed? So I did experience a rollback like that, was pretty strange...--[[Image:Progger.png]] - talk 18:54, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

My guess is that the rollback after spontaneous DC in certain situations was employed as a buffer against the DC duping thingimajigy. &mdash; Nova   &mdash;  (contribs) 22:57, 23 March 2009 (UTC)


 * That or my computer fell really really really out of sync with the server. I've had similar shit happen before, but on a much shorter time scale, seconds versus minutes.  Basically, the server thinks I DC'd, but my PC still says I can keep playing, and certain types of actions (like using a skill on an enemy) will make it resync and finally tell my PC that it was DC'd, so I'll see my character teleport to some previous location and a split second later I'll see the DC screen.  But I've never heard of anything remotely like that rollback...  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 23:06, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

GW:AGF
I apologize if I sounded grumpy on the boss talk page, as I had just answered what appeared to be identical text on my talk page. &mdash; Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 07:21, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
 * It was identical, just making sure that you saw it (your talk), and any future visitors with a similar question also saw it (boss' talk). I didn't think you were grumpy at all.  :P  It just seems very odd to me that in 4 years of GW's existence, nobody noticed this before on Hoss, but they did on Fryn, and that Hoss comes out to have one more skill than Fryn.  ^_^  Sorry if I offended you by the question, this is just really odd to me, and people have been known to confuse the two before.  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 07:28, 27 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Not offended; just figured that (wink, wink) AGF also assumes I would get the boss talk message :-)


 * The bosses spawn in wildly different areas, some of them patrol, so I think it's easy to miss them. And how often is someone going to bring 3 caps just to confirm all the skills? I almost didn't cap Hoss in order to check that ppl didn't confuse them in the first place. I was too chicken to wait, since on my last visit, I coudn't find any of the rider bosses and wasted a skill slot on the cap.


 * And, appropos of AGF: I like your edit of the equinox note. Unfortunately, I read the equinox article; it doesn't double exhaustion, it applies it twice (before and after). So, that probably means hardly anyone besides s will ever care. For non-, you have to get hit by both equinox and arcane languor; none of the places where there's an environmental exhaustion have enemies that can cast equinox.  &mdash; Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 07:50, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
 * If one of your party members is dumb enough to cast Equinox near Glint, you will exhaust twice. It's not about how often it happens caused by enemies alone, but about how the mechanics are actually set up.  A note like that is more like a warning to not bring Equinox yourself into areas where you encounter the environmental effects/hexes that cause exhaustion, though even then it could still be beneficial to a team that somehow operates mostly on adrenaline and signets.  :P  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 08:09, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I suggest posting a link if you want somebody to see a question instead of asking it twice. ;-) -- ◄mendel► 10:18, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Leave me alone, it was easier to Ctrl+A+C....V, and I'm lazy. ^_^ RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 17:51, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

Ranger Elite Studded Leather Armor
The current pictures are horrid and don't even have anti-aliasing on. I am going to retake them in a different background. Do not revert them. Thanks. MikuChan 06:14, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Completely agreed, that was the reason I reverted the colored ones. I didn't touch the gray ones because the old version was yellow, but I do prefer the well-done yellow versus the horrid gray.  I posted the update notes.  If you do retake them, the current ones (yellow and purple) should be used as a template, they are perfect except for the anti-aliasing and gray color.

 * If only... That's another 6 months where I can't get an engineering job with the degree that cost me 65k+ (need security clearance for like everything), that doesn't count for the limit before I can apply for residency or citizenship (required for the said security clearance), where I can't get my master's due to not being able to afford 5x higher non-resident tuition, and where neither of us knows what to do with our lives, not to mention thinking about family... And even after that, I'm still looking at 15 months more of not even being here.  Doesn't look very bright to me...  Oh yeah, and if they lose it, they will make us file it all over again.

 * Warm weather.. right.. it peaked at +6 celsius today here in sweden and it's below 0 atm. Also, gratz on LDoA and the surviver and if you do get "deported" to Ukraine you can always sneak up to sweden, our politicians love immigrants more than they like us natives, and it's not like anyone would notice if you're up here or in Ukraine.

My grandmother is the only one left and she's sick now, my grandfather died 4 months ago, all my friends moved away, and my dad has a new family and spends most of the time working in Moscow.

Tonics page
Hi. While I appreciate your, eh, zealousness about the Tonics page, you should reconsider being so harshly defensive of a given article. It's a trend I'm beginning to notice a lot of on Wikis: if someone makes an edit you disagree with, it is reverted whole-cloth, sweeping all their time and enthusiasm right off the table as if it means nothing. Especially with statements like "broke the page to the point of fubar" or whatever, which is neither constructive nor communicative (and is in fact somewhat rude).

I perked it up a bit because the Talk page for the article had a request on it to add images, and it seemed useful to know at a glance which form you'd get from which tonic. Yes, it was incomplete, but the idea was to get it started so others would be encouraged to contribute and improve it, not erase it from existence. There are plenty of pages, on this Wiki and others, which clearly "need work". They're left because something is better than nothing for a visitor.

I have no problem with your criticizing my edit -- it was indeed imperfect. And frankly, the page itself doesn't mean enough to me to continue arguing about it (or bothering with it). I am only making a note here on your discussion page to caution you about being so curt and dismissive to other editors, especially when they're clearly trying. Wikis are neither pristine nor sacred, and being so unwilling to work with people who could potentially be enthusiastic contributors dashes the spirit of a collaborative effort like this. -- AudreyChandler 01:26, 10 April 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm sorry for coming off the way I did. The problem (that I mentioned in the edit summary) is that it cannot be completed with miniature images, as only part of the tonics have a corresponding mini, so mini images are not the way to go.  Also, clicking on the tonic's name will usually provide you with an image on its page.  The current table is already quite large (I'm talking about width), and it truly did look horrible in my browser size, as most of the text entries broke in 2 lines, but others didn't, and only a fraction of the images were there, making it look like a Sandbox as opposed to a complete article.  An alternate option would be to create a new table below, simply of images and tonic names underneath.  However, miniature images should not be used for it, as I already stated that they cannot complete the table (unless this changes with 4th year minis, but we have to wait and see for that).  An image of the creature embodied by the tonic is likely more appropriate.  I again apologize for my language, I am sick and likely more irritable than usual.  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 02:15, 10 April 2009 (UTC)


 * I did my best with the gallery: Tonic. 11 out of 18 tonics do not have an exact miniature of themselves.  I hope this compensates your time and achieves the goal of providing the images that people want.  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 02:56, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
