Valentine’s Day is already well behind us (and greatly before us), but the love among the MMO community never dies down. Today we have a headlining pic from Ralph the Wonder Llama, who reminds us that we are all deserving of flowers, kisses, and irrational armor.
“With the whole heart themed weekend coming up, I was reminded of this odd little topiary I found inside one of the treehouses at Blessing Basin in TERA,” he submitted. “Hugs and kisses from my Gunner!”
D’aww… can you feel the love tonight?
“My feelings on World of Warcraft: Warlords of Draenor are what I will politely call less than kindly,” Tyler sent in, “but one thing about the expansion that has filled my heart with unadulterated joy is a new toy that transforms your character into the legendary Gamon, former punching bag and meme turned Hero of Orgrimmar.”
I’m not quite sure what game this next picture is from, so if anyone (including the photographer) wants to clarify, please do! Still, it’s quite visually arresting.
“When you’re not fast enough to hit the screenshot button in cutscenes but the screenshot is nice anyway,” Krieglich posted.
“Here I am huntin’ around Daggerfall in The Elder Scrolls Online with my Wood Elf Nightblade,” ShagrathVtc writes.
Got to say, that is one very, very pretty game. It’s really nice that we now live in a time where MMOs don’t look like video game rejects from 20 years ago, isn’t it?
“Here I am now, to present to you some random shots of Blade & Soul,” zyrusticae assures us. “With the release of Mushin Tower and Bloodshade Harbor, I’ve been too busy doing my dailies to even touch my alt lately.”
Normally we’re not crazy about having text in pictures in this column, but for this week’s screenshot challenge, we’re going to ask you to break this rule by submitting pics that have funny dialogue or quest text!
Every week, One Shots shines a spotlight on the best community screenshots from your MMO adventures. If you have a great pic to share, email it to justin@massivelyop.com with the subject “One Shots.” Make sure that the picture is over 880px wide and comes with a description or story!
Hmm… ok. Â Funny dialogue? Â Well, I have a few possible submissions but will narrow it down to these three.
Cap #1 from BDO. Â Let me introduce you to my Herbalist. Â Suffice it to say, he is definitely more scary than funny. Â If you look at him closely and the cast of NPCs around him, you can see that they have been smoking all the wrong herbs. Â Less munchies and more delusions of grandeur for this group.
Cap #2 and oldie but a goodie from SWTOR. Â No funny NPC verbage required. Â Why? Â Because he is proving once again that golf transcends multiverses and Oricon is just a good a place as any to play a few holes.
Cap #3 a non-sequitur. Â There have been some complaints that there isn’t enough character customization in BnS. Â That everyone looks the same because you can’t mix and match outfits. Â Hmm, I beg to differ.

No screens from me this week. Taking a small like me hiatus from it for a bit. Feel free to send yours for my /upvotes though. <3

A certain pigtailed Gnome also likes this. Deekay may want to change the color since he doesn’t like said Gnome though. <3

It was rumored that when FFXIV pre-ARR was very first released, it contracted a 3rd party Chinese outfit for copy responsibility (don’t ask me why SE did this). To which didn’t properly use the correct characters in the ingame text. Thus Chocobos became “Horsebirds” to the horror to anyone who played XIV and spoke Japanese. Becoming likely one of the most notorious persistent typo errors in the MMO business. I am glad the current management are seeing the humor in that episode. :)

I think I state that most of us here like seeing trolls roasted. <3
Siphaed I’ll be diving into this in a little over a week…if for any other reason to significantly change genre, setting, pace, etc. I’m certain my eyes will be bleeding after so much Black Desert grinding. I really enjoyed the beta.
A friendly wave from my Valkyrie during this weekend’s Black Desert soft-launch. She doesn’t seem too concerned that ogre is going to break out after the quest to strengthen the chains. Almost feel sorry for it…almost.
