He’s probably going to hate me for uploading this BUT HOW COULD I NOT JUST LOOK AT THAT ADORABLE LOPSIDED SMILE

It’s been a little over a week since getting back from a 2 week skip across the giant fucking pond to England, and I’m already dying to go back. I had an amazing time getting to know his friends, family, people in his life, plus getting to spend time doing things just with him. ^-^ 

We ended up going to London for our anniversary (can’t believe it’s been 1 year already!). Although we don’t get to see each other often, it was nice being in a place just the two of us; it felt like a real couples vacation and let us get to know each other in a different environment than what we’ve been put through before. I can’t describe the exact feeling I felt, but it was wonderful being alone with him in a sea of strangers, and if I had any doubt before about our relationship (which I don’t think I did), I definitely have none now.

I have never been more impressed by an individual than I have with Ben. After you get past his silly sarcastic remarks, you’ll find a deeply quiet intelligence and humanitarian who denies it, but is an extremely caring individual. After my world broke down and I found myself, yet again, desperately trying to crawl out of the darkest pit I’ll ever be in, he was the only one who truly understood that I was sad and, while never saying it, sought to make sure I was okay and even went out of his way to try and cheer me up (even if he wasn’t consciously trying to do it). He was the only one who I felt treated me like I was an actual person, broken but still here. And from there, he’s always stood by me, which meant telling me the things I didn’t want to hear but needed to hear as well, to get me to the point where I am now. He’s given me insight to tough situations with difficult people and has put me in my place and given me perspective on the world. Frankly, even if he never intended to, he taught me how to have compassion towards the people I don’t like and has helped fortify the practice of thinking about situations from the other person’s perspective. He’s also taught me the idea of giving people another chance. I mean, two and a half years he’s known me and he still decides he likes me (he better), so…

He’s generally quiet, and puts up with way more shit than he ever should (mine included), but he’s an incredibly loyal individual worth getting to know. Sometimes I still have problems understanding why you love me so much, but I love you too and miss you silly bearbutt <3 @bearswillkillyouirl

High Daeva Battlefield - High Daeva Crafting System

This is the last of the major highlights for the 5.1 patch, a reworked crafting system, tailored specially for High Daevas. There are definitely some similarities to the crafting system used in Blade & Soul, such as 100% success rates** and crafting-on-the-go.

**this is conditional

The following descriptions are linked to the numbers depicted in the second screenshot:

1. Crafting Level - unlike the present system, this skill level applies universally throughout all crafts listed in the new system. 100% success rates are applied when you craft at the item’s recommended skill level

2. Search Bar - you can search for the specified craft here

3. Craft Categories - following up from 2. you can choose to use this instead.

4. Craft Recipe Menu - self-explanatory

5. Crafting UI - this displays your selected craft, the materials needed and the results. the button to proceed crafting is shown below

There are some differences from the present crafting system:

- It utilizes the craft-on-the-go concept, you don’t have to be confined to a crafting table (your character however, is still rooted while crafting, similar to the morphing process) - As mentioned earlier, your skill levels apply universally to all types of crafts in the new system. 100% success rates are only applied when you craft at the item’s recommended level, proc rates however, are still subjective to RNG - Craft products are strictly High Daeva items only. Anything below that tier, you would still have to utilize the present crafting system

The rest of the screenshot depicts the new series of mythic equipment exclusively obtained from the new crafting system. You can also craft pets, mounts and wings.

So many similar to current skins and renewing old instances as main endgame content is a good part of the reason my interest for this game's future is rapidly dying.
