So today I was in Ruins of Surmia missions with my friend and we were waiting around at the end and i decided i wanted to see what my 20 celestial oxes looked like lying on the ground. so i dropped them all, took a screen because it looked cool, started picking them up, and then... CUTSCENE. Lost 8 celestial oxes all unded. this is not a QQ thread, im not blaming anyone but myself. it was stupid and i paid for it. just warning everyone else, dont do this sort of thing! something bad will happen! i'm over it, i mean it's just a game, but still, it sucked. so just be careful!

Moral of the story: Don't carry multiple minipets for no reason?

Yes it was dumb, and yes i learned my lesson. I was with someone ive been playing the game with for about 3 years so i had no worries about him stealing it. go cubs why no point? im warning people not to do something stupid like this. and i had that many because that char is my mule and i was holding them in hopes they go up in the future like other celestial pets. i think the moral of the story is dont drop your valuables in an explorable area.

as for the screeny:

I know people drop items all the time to make patterns, screenies etc, but why the hell did you chose a mission? and at the end of it as well?

To OP:

Do you watch NBA? You know when a player successfully shoots the ball in a free throw, there is a sound that will be played like:

ta - na - na - nan ta - nan (i hope you understand what im saying).

Where I came from, the put words into that music so you would feel how good that music is. Here are the words that we put in that sound:

bu - ti - na - lang ta - nga.

And we will just laugh at it.

sorry for ur experience but let me just sing this to you:

bu - ti - na - lang ta - nga.

I actually did something similar before when I finally found a perfect Strength and Honor inscription, and it just came to my head, I wonder what an inscription looks like when its dropped?

I honestly lol'd, I mean I'm sorry for your loss but that was funny xD

PS: I did drop all my stuffs stupidly when I'm with my friend, like yesterday I dropped Obsidian Edge on the ground, around HoD and little did I realized that he was running back toward the portal because he took a wrong skill without saying anything... needless to say, I picked it up as quickly as my reflex can give me.. -_-;

The purpose? I dunno, I want it to seems like, "OMG! I JUST GOT AN UNBELIEVABLE DROP!" moment.. cause my luck's suck.. >.>

Thanks for warning us not to drop stuff on the ground seconds before a cutscene.

I mean, it's not like I'm able to figure this out for myself.

Like anybody is really going to drop 8 minipets on the ground during a mission. What's next? Somebody drops stacks of ectos and complains that another person picks them up?

lol yea looking back it is very funny. at first i didnt even notice what rurik was saying but wow thats damn hilarious. ohh the irony. lol and i havent done that mission in about 2 years so i had completely forgotten there was a cut scene about to happen. the worst part of it was, after the cutscene it showed us on the other side of the gate for s plit second before it took us into town, and i could see the 8 oxes lying there on the ground, as if to mock me. but yeah i mean it sucked but no biggy.. shit happens.. its a video game, life goes on.

and to all the haters, stfu. im not bitching about my loss, was just telling other people not to do stuff like this. and offering a good laugh to everyone. lol that screen shot cracks me up XD

That was like the time my guildies and I all went into Isle of the Nameless and they started dropping things. I guess one guy forgot about his 20k he dropped I gave it back though, 20k isn't worth a kick, lol.

You would think there would be an open window when you loaded into the next town for "unclaimed items." But then again, if you drop them I suppose the game assumes you do not want them.
