OK Yall this is bugging me. Why is it that the best nation in all of Vana'Deil is coming in last ALL THE FREAKIN TIME.....

I say this to you my fellow Bastokans! DO NOT LEAVE THE CITY WITHOUT SIGNET!!!!! The pride of our nation is on the line and i want to see Bastok return to the old days of glory wher Bastok was always 1st.

Pick up you WEapons and fight for the glory of Bastok! Trade in your old low level gear to outpost not under our control. Rank 10s of Bastok I place a heavy burden on you, GET A SIGNET STAFF. And ask your fellow Bastokan party members if they have signet.. IF they dont.. Then give it to them.

We Shall overcome this period of half-assery and shall emerge victorious on the feild of conquest!

GLORY TO BASTOK!!
HAIL BASTOK FOREVER!!
 
Claud. We're last because if we were in first, our CP items wouldn't work.

There's no denying that Bastok can dominate the world regions if it wanted to. Heck, on Quetz, Bastok was the first nation to have controlled every outpost atleast once at some point.

But if you're like me, most Bastokans already took advantage of that and snagged all outpost warps. So it's all good. Let Windurstians and San d'Orians have their fun. We can just sit back and watch. It's kinda funny.
 
If you think about, being Last is more of a bonus. We get to use all those "++++ Outside of Controlled Area" items. ^_^
 
true but i cant get my Bastokan Aketon till we get 1st
 
Yeah, all of the best CP items require to be outside of our nations control.

Just getting signet won't work, since most of the higher level people are hanging out in the expansion area and getting sanction, which overwrites signet. Maybe in a couple weeks when the excitement about the expansion dies down. Another option would be to organize a bunch of expedionary forces, I'd be intereted in joining if you do. I'd like to get another aketon.
 
I like being last. Signet lasts longer and my items work nearly everywhere. You can buy my Bastok Aketon if you want Claud. :wink:
 
hmm ok rones :P i just gotta get the money


I retract my statment :P We bastokans know we can be first if we wanted so and the aketon was really my only motive ... I have seen the light and the power last placve gives us :P
 
When you spend all your day in a shouting match around the Markets AH, it doesn't leave too much time to go collecting CP...
 
I'd like us to get first because I want a Senior Musketeer's Axe. They rarely go on sale. Attack+10 <Yes, please.>
 
I agree, im frustrated with our inability to get that first place. only reason why im rank 8 and not 10 is there isn't a need to, but as soon as that happens(when? IDK)....(assumes a glorius tone) it'll be eversweet,the Republic Aketons will flow like water from Drachenfalls in the lands North Gustaberg, An overwhelming(and long due) sense of accomplishment will once again be restored to the most advance of all nations...BASTOK
*raises his wand* /HURRAY!

No Claud! Our reputation is at stake now. For far too long have we sat back on our laurels and now people walk around speaking of lolBastok left and right! We must return to glory. For the Republic!

(I too want an Aketon =P)

QFT!!! :cool:
 
Maybe if we have this discussion 2,000 more times someone might give a crap.

There are benefits to being in 1st, and there are benefits to being in 3rd.

There is situational equipment that benefits you when you are outside your nations conquest as well as the opposite. Just take advantage of your situation.

LAST, is just third, and just a stigma.
If LAST bothers you, switch to Windy and keep your signet on. :)


Being in 3rd, your signet lasts longer, so I'm not sure what the deal for Bastok is...Personally, I just get signet and never give conquest a second thought.
 
Timeless... ill go ahead and tell ya this..... 9-1 is a BITCH man


that one MacroPlasm fight is rough... especially depending on where you fight it >.< low HP linking Skelitons, Hurricane Wyvrens, and Demonic Pugils = OMG Run AWAY
 
I just did that Bastok Rank for a friend. :)
 
I hate bastok being in 3rd place all the damn time. What I really want is fourth place. :O if we let the beastmen take over gustaberg :O we can use our "outside nations controll" anywhere. :O My R.K. Lance +2 will be used longer thanks to us bastokains.
 
I don't know...

I don't know why you guys keep finishing last place but do you think you could step it up for once i need to buy some cornette's for fame... cant do it if you're in last place all the time.
 
I'd love to defect to Bastok and get the Comrade Gold Medal, but Bastok's never, ever in first so it feels like it'd actually be a wasted effort.
Watch, next week they'll be first and I'll miss my one chance for the rest of the YEAR. :roll:
 
Yeah, my republic circlet just basically sits there in my mog house... </3 Bastok
 
Two things:

1.) Cid needs to put a fucking shirt on.
2.) Bastokans are actually called Bastokers....
