un: f0x

[veardant]

Hi, I suppose I should introduce myself, right? I'm Tighnari. Though I suppose I should go by F0x here? I'm not quite sure how this works.

At any rate, I'm pretty new to games like this, so any help would be appreciated. I'm a Wood element Steam Gunner, if that makes any difference. Nice to meet you all.

:D
good luck!
and i hope you enjoy playing the game

[notfunny]

Ha, I'll be putting a lot of hours into this in the meantime... so I'll give you all the deets when you're around.

Have you tried playing at all yet? How does it feel to you?

[tinged]

Fascinating. So we are like the different flavors in a salad bowl, each bite unique.

Alright, I'll look for him. I've never watched a streamer before, so I'd like to give it a try.

[veardant]

Hmm. I think there isn't only one purpose. Like myself, for example - I'm playing this game to be able to spend time with a friend I don't see often. I don't much care about being.. what's the word.

Meta?

[veardant]

Public opinion seems to say that F0x is the more appropriate choice, so, F0x it is.

Nice to meet you, Noir. Seems like we're in the same boat, hmm?

[rebelles]

It's probably a good precaution to use handles online. F0x it is.

Have you tried battling yet?

[tablescraps]

What's "meta," in this context?

I see, though. I didn't consider that objectives outside the scope of the game also qualified. I guess I have an additional purpose for playing this game. Or, I was assigned one.

[veardant]

Neither am I, but that's all right. We'll figure it out. It could be fun.

[veardant]

That's fine, it's your opinion. I suppose I just don't see the appeal, personally. I like my name just fine. Though I suppose the immersive nature of such a game lends itself well to escapism.

[veardant]

Thanks! Same to you.

[veardant]

Yes, I logged in for a little while, and got my first set of equipment.

Honestly, the environment is fascinating. It's incredible, how real it feels.

[veardant]

That's a nice way to see it, yes. It means we'll all be of use in some way, in a party.

[veardant]

He's pretty entertaining, so hopefully you'll enjoy it. What got you into the game?

[tot]

I suppose you're more carefree than most other people that I've met.
But I have! There hasn't been a game quite like this but I've played other MMOs and generally plenty other games.

[tinged]

May I add you as a friend, Tighnari? I would like to join you in a party in the near future.

You may call me "Hani."

[fluorite]

I know a few people who are really into video games, so when I came across an email with an invitation to the beta, I thought I'd join. This is a pretty neat opportunity.

[veardant]

Not yet, no, but I'm going later. I'll have a hard time not gawking at the environment, honestly, instead of engaging the enemies.

[veardant]

In the context of a video game, the "meta" is the group defined optimal approach to the game. So, the best optimized weapon and gear sets, buffs, party compositions, strategies, etc..

Assigned? What do you mean?

[veardant]

Sounds like you'll be in a good place for this one, then. You know what you're doing.

[veardant]

Sure, I don't see why not; go ahead. We can stumble our way through this together, Hani.

[veardant]

Ah, I see. Well, it's time for us to see what all the fuss is about, hmm? :-)

[tablescraps]

I see. I think I'd engage in that concept. Efficient gameplay seems preferable to the alternative.

In regards to my assignment: I'm currently recovering from a brain injury. I was told it may be therapeutic to participate in this beta test. The idea is to see if the neuralink technology aids in the rehabilitation process.

( Kinda personal for a public forum, but, apparently, he doesn't care. )

[insinning]

Do you prefer us using your real name then?

[It might be hard to remember, but Sinclair can try. Also, he definitely doesn't want anyone using his real name here. Maybe his first name but.... ]

[tinged]

Wonderful.

[ they will do just that when... they figure out how. ]

What drew you to this game, Tighnari?
