It just occurred to me that I never greeted the forum. My name is Shazbot, and I actually started playing this game months ago. (I started the topic asking about trojans in the game files.) I haven't been playing recently because a friend wanted me to play World of Warcraft with her, plus I've been busy with life and stuff. Now, I think it's safe to say WoW has officially bored me, and I won't be going back.
So now here I am trying to get back into the swing of things. I mostly started this game with a few friends of mine, and we all had a lot of fun exploring it. I especially was tripping giant nostalgia balls, having been around for the Dreamcast but never getting to play this groundbreaking title. I also like the Phantasy Star Universe, and I hope SEGA gets a chance to revisit it, maybe even release PSO2 for the western market? (Incidentally, I downloaded the 65 gigabytes of cheese to play Phantasy Star Online 2, I just lack a working controller to play it, plus I still really like the first game, so here I am.)
I also love multiplayer games that require cooperation and roleplaying, being a D&D nerd IRL as well as a big fan of Monster Hunter. Generally speaking, I'm a support player; I heal, I buff, I run screaming from the front lines. When I'm not the healer, I like to tank; I smash, I peel, I run screaming toward the front lines. From what I understand, this game's Defense stat is completely borked. I took this as a personal challenge, and was researching a method of creating a character with the highest possible Defense so I could go true tank. That idea is still up in the air, as until I hit max build such a character would only hold my party back. (Assuming it works at all, but we'll cross that bridge when we get there.)
My current main is a level 39 FOnewearl named Sub Ubi. If you wanna do stuff I suggest hitting me up on Discord. (Send me a private forum message, I change my Discord name often and at my whimsy.)
