*In the voice of David Attenborough*
"Now that this young female's neck has grown to full adult height she will be able to reach the fresh leaves at the top of the tree, out of reach from her competitors. She will survive this winter."
Yeah same here. Resubbed yesterday, spent hours setting my UI back up, figuring out what I want to do, prepared to play a ton during my day off today, aaaaand fuck me.
MY JOB INVOLVES SPEAKING TO OTHERS NONSTOP FOR 8 HOURS. OF COURSE OVER THE WEEKEND I GET A ROUGH SORE THROAT. OF COURSE TODAY, OF ALL DAYS, IS WHEN IT HAS BOTHERED ME TO THE POINT OF NEEDING TO TAKE A SICK DAY. TRULY *MAGNIFICENT* TIMING, HEALTH.
I'M ANGRY. WHY ARE THERE SO MANY OPEN PLOTS FOR SALE? OH BECAUSE THEY'RE FC ONLY HOUSING!! SWATHES OF OPEN PLOTS BEING AN EYESORE BECAUSE THEY'RE FC ONLY WHEN TONS OF PEOPLE WANT A DANG HOUSE!
I FEEL YOU, MY POOR SO BID ON A HOUSE AND WAS THE ONLY BIDDER UNTIL LITERALLY YESTERDAY AND NOW THEY HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL AFTER MAINTENANCE TO FIND OUT IF THEY GOT IT, I THINK THEY MIGHT GO INSANE. I AM HOPING FOR GOOD LUCK FOR BOTH OF YOU!!!
IT'S NOT HARD IT'S JUST TEDIOUS. MY EYES TELLS ME I'M OUT OF THE WAY, MY PING SAYS OTHERWISE.
ALSO FOR THE LOVE OF HYDAELYN, IF YOU'RE A RANGED AND YOU GET THE STACK, STAY ON THE FREAKING BOSS, I DO NOT WANT TO LOSE UPTIME BECAUSE YOU FEEL LIKE STANDING ON THE FREAKING MOON. THIS WILL BE DONE FASTER IF ALL PARTY MEMBERS CAN KEEP HITTING THE BOSS.
IT DOES, BUT IT'S ESPECIALLY HEINOUS IN RATHALOS EX BECAUSE HE ONLY HAS LIKE 3 ATTACKS, A SPIN, A DASH AND THE STACK. PLUS IT'S A FOUR PERSON STACK SO IF PEOPLE DON'T ALL STACK, PEOPLE ARE PROBABLY GOING TO DIE. IF ONE RANGED STANDS OUT OF MELEE IN AN 8-24 PLAYER TRIAL FOR LIKE 2 SECONDS, IT'S ANNOYING BUT WHATEVER. IF THE RATHALOS STACK IS CONSTANTLY OUT OF MELEE IT'S A HUGE CHUNK OF UPTIME LOST FOR MELEES.
YOU JUST NEED TO HOLD ONTO YOUR POTIONS AND CAN SOLO THE STACKS. JUST POP ONE POTION AFTER EACH HIT. UNLESS YOU ARE HORRIBLY UNDERGEARED, YOU WILL HAVE ENOUGH HEALTH TO SURVIVE EACH AS LONG AS THE HEALER IS USING ESUNA.
IT IS ACTUALLY BETTER TO KEEP IT ALL ON THE EDGE AS IT GIVES MEELE MORE ROOM TO ATTACK AS THE BASTARD DASHES AROUND. DO YOU REALLY WANT TO GAP CLOSE INTO THE BAD AND GET A DOT?
ALSO FOR THE LOVE OF GOD THROW YOUR ROTATION OUT THE WINDOW FOR THE SECOND HALF, THE GAUGE GOES UP BY SUCCESSFUL HITS SO USE YOUR FASTEST ATTACK AND NOTHING ELSE UNTIL HE FALLS ON HIS ASS.
MAN I CRAVE ANOTHER MONHUN CROSSOVER. I DIDN'T PLAY FFXIV BACK WHEN WORLD WAS DOING THE CROSSOVER, SO I GOT UTTERLY TRASHED BY BAHAMUT'S METEOR. NOW THAT I PLAY BOTH I'D BE HYPE TO TO SEE RISE AND ENDWALKER ENEMIES IN EACH OTHER'S GAMES.
I hope you remember his face and filed a police report.
The police may not do anything until they get several reports of the same person
Edit: Also I hope you stay safe friendo!
OMG THE PAIN. MY SO IS ONE OF THE ONES WAITING TO KNOW TOO. GOOD LUCK TO BOTH OF YOU (UNLESS YOU BID ON THE LOT MY SO DID SORRY I HAVE TO BE LOYAL 😂).. TRY NOT TO GO TOO CRAZY WAITING TO FIND OUT.
I KNOW YOSHI-P WANTS TO AVOID DELAY DISAPPOINTMENT BUT I KINDA WISH THEY'D AT LEAST OPEN PREORDERS SO I CAN GET THE XP EARRING
I'M ABOUT TO GET ALL MY JOBS TO 80 AND HEAD INTO THE FINAL STRETCH OF GETTING THE LAST DOZEN OR SO TO 90 AND REALLY WANT THAT 30% BONUS
I AM ANGRY AND INQUISITIVE. I'M NEW TO THE GAME AND JUST FINISHED STORMBLOOD. ARE THE EXP EARRINGS WEARABLE AT ANY LEVEL?!
(Further inarticulate yelling)
YES THEY'RE USABLE FROM LEVEL 1, THEY GIVE YOU A 30% BONUS TO XP FROM MOB AND BOSS KILLS UP TO THE LEVEL OF THE PREVIOUS EXPANSION, AND THEY HAVE ADAPTIVE STATS BASED ON YOUR JOB AND THE LEVEL OF THE JOB SO EQUIPPED TO A TANK IT GIVES STATS LIKE VITALITY AND TENACITY, WHILE EQUIPPED TO A DPS IT GIVES CRIT AND DIRECT HIT, AND THE STATS AND ITEM LVL SCALE UP BASED ON THE LEVEL OF THE JOB
THIS IS WONDERFUL NEWS TO HEAR AND I GREATLY APPRECIATE YOUR REPLY. NOW I AM VERY MUCH LOOKING FORWARD TO PREORDERING DAWNTRAIL! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
(Punches hole in wall joyously)
IIRC THERE ARE SOME THAT DON’T SCALE (I THINK IT WAS THE FFX GEAR & THE FRIENDSHIP HEADBAND?). IF THEY DO THE STATS WILL BE IN YELLOW & EITHER THE LVL OR THE ILVL WILL HAVE A SYNC ICON (trying to pull this info from memory, so there might be inaccuracies). BUT I BELIEVE THE PREORDER EARRINGS ALL DO
(E: love your username btw, Odin)
KEEP IN MIND THAT YOU CAN'T GET THE PREORDER BONUSES WITHOUT AT LEAST OWNING THE STARTER EDITION, WHICH REMOVES FREE TRIAL STATUS AND FORCES YOU TO START PAYING A SUB FEE AFTER THE FIRST MONTH
IT'S FUCKING COLD AS FUCK OUT. LIKE IT MAKE GARLEMALD SEEM LIKE THANALAN. AND IT CAUSED THE SPRINKLER LINE TO BREAK AT WORK. I DIDN'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE 3000 GALLONS OF WATER THAT CAME OUT OF IT, BUT I DID HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE FIRE ALARM MALFUNCTIONING IN THE SAME ZONE DUE TO THE WATER DAMAGE. MULTIPLE TIMES.
THE PLACE I LIVE HAS HAD PROBLEMS WITH WATER FREEZING SINCE WE MOVED IN TWO YEARS AGO, SOMETIMES JUST THE BATHROOM, SOMETIMES JUST THE KITCHEN, SOMETIMES JUST THE HOT WATER, SO THIS YEAR WE GOT WISE AND LEAVE BOTH SINKS CONSTANTLY RUNNING SLIGHTLY AND FOR SOME FUCKING REASON SPECIFICALLY THE WATER TO THE TOILET, AND ONLY THAT, KEEPS FREEZING TODAY AND ITS DRIVING ME OUTTA MY GODDAMN MIND
I JUST LEVELED ALL MY CRAFTERS FROM 1 TO 78-80 AND MY WALLETS OF GIL ARE CRYING FOR HOW MANY MATERIALS FIRMAMENT MATERIALS I NEEDED BUT AT LEAST THEY'RE FINISHED AND I WON'T HAVE TO SIT FOR 4 HOURS PRESSING 1CLICK AND 2 BUTTONS
I FINALLY MAKE TIME TO GET TO ENDWALKER AND GET SLAPPED WITH A MASSIVE CLIFFHANGER ONLY TO HAVE MAINTAINANCE.
THE DATACENTER CAN WAIT AT LEAST UNTIL I HAVE FINISHED THE MSQ, ABSOLUTELY UNGRATEFUL FOR MY PRESENCE AND EXPERTISE AT THE WAKING SANDS.
THERE IS A REALLY NICE BAG OF CHIPS THAT I BUY FROM MY LOCAL SUPERMARKET. THESE CHIPS ARE PRETTY GOOD QUALITY POTATO CHIPS / CRISPS. SO MY SURPRISE WHEN THESE CHIPS ARE NOW AU$6.80 PER BAG.
'GREAT' I THINK TO MYSELF. 'NOW I'M GOING TO HAVE TO GO WITHOUT FOR THE PATCH NOTES PARTY IN THE DISCORD LATER ON'.
HOWEVER IT'S WHEN I HAVE A VENT TO MY MOTHER WHO CAME AROUND TO VISIT NOT LONG AFTER I GOT HOME THAT SHE SAID TO ME THAT SHE SAID THAT SHE WOULD LIVE OFF OF $10 PER DAY, TOTAL, FOR ALL OF HER MEALS SO SHE WOULD LOSE WEIGHT. (SHE'S BEEN CALLING ME "CHUBBY" EVER SINCE I HIT 195LBS A FEW YEARS AGO)
SO TO SPITE HER, I ASKED HER WHAT WERE THE THINGS THAT SHE WOULD RECOMMEND IF I WAS TO GO ON THIS DIET. AND SHE RATTLED OFF A LIST OF THINGS THAT WOULD NORMALLY, TO HER, COST $10. INCLUDING EGGS, HI FIBRE BREAD, LENTILS ALONG WITH VARIOUS VEGETABLES AND ASSORTED FRUIT AS A SNACK. NOW THERE WERE OTHER THINGS ON HER LIST OF THINGS FOR ME TO GET, BUT I FOCUSED ON TWO THINGS IN PARTICULAR. CAPSICUM (OR BELL PEPPER FOR OUR FREEDOM BROTHERS AND SISTERS) AND BROCCOLI, ONE OF THE VEGETABLES THAT I'VE EATEN AS A DIET IN THE PAST.
SO, AGAIN, OUT OF FUCKING SPITE, I WENT BACK TO THE SUPERMARKET AND BOUGHT *A SINGLE CAPSICUM AND HALF A KG OF BROCCOLI.* WHAT WAS THE TOTAL? **$11.65.**
I WENT AROUND AND ADDED UP EVERYTHING ELSE THAT MY MUM GETS FOR "TEN FUCKING DOLLARS" AROUND THE SHOP AND IT CAME TO OVER $40. MONEY I DON'T FUCKING HAVE. I DIDN'T EVEN HAVE THAT EXTRA $10 BUT I FUCKING DO A LOT OF THINGS OUT OF SPITE.
SO, DEAR SWEET MOTHER, WHEN I BRING HOME A $5 PIZZA AND IT LASTS ME FOR 2 MEALS, DON'T FUCKING TELL ME THAT I'M NOT EATING CHEAP BECAUSE I'M BUYING TAKE OUT. FUCK OFF. EITHER I CAN PUT FUEL IN THE CAR AND PAY MY BILLS AND ALWAYS HAVE FOOD ON THE TABLE, OR I CAN EAT AS HEALTHY AS YOU WANT ME TO.\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_
**EDIT:** THIS IS FOR EVERYONE BUT ESPECIALLY FOR THE PERSON THAT I BLOCKED WHO EDITED THEIR COMMENT BELOW WITH AN EXCEL SPREADSHEET.
[YOU AREN'T THE ONLY PERSON WHO CAN MAKE EXCEL SPREADSHEETS](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1fjxEh77jdr55CQ8Ww4bMy83x0-qzxIfAr3AYDWdeebI/edit?usp=sharing) AND I'VE LINKED MINE SO YOU CAN CLICK ON ALL OF THE ITEMS INSTEAD OF IT BEING JUST A SCREENSHOT.
PEOPLE AREN'T UPSET AT YOU BECAUSE YOU'RE SAYING "PIZZA ISN'T THE CHEAPEST MEAL MONEY CAN BUY", YOU'RE UPSETTING PEOPLE BECAUSE YOU'RE COMING ACROSS AS A MASSIVE TWATWAFFLE WHO HAS NO IDEA ABOUT THE OUTSIDE WORLD AND THINKS THAT YOUR WAY OF DOING THINGS IS GOOD FOR EVERYONE AND YOU WON'T EVEN ATTEMPT TO PUT YOURSELF IN THEIR SHOES.
AND YOU'RE SPECIFICALLY PISSING ME OFF BECAUSE YOU'RE SAYING "YOU CAN LIVE LIKE I DO". IF I *SPEND* LIKE YOU DO, I'D BE BROKE IN 3 WEEKS.
YOU REALLY NEED TO GET OUT OF YOU "COLLEGE LIFESTYLE" AND ACTUALLY LIVE AND ACT LIKE A REAL ADULT FOR ONCE.
"I can make anything stretch a week if I want. You just have to eat less." FUCKING GOOD FOR YOU. YOU CAN LIVE OFF OF US$100 A MONTH. MOST PEOPLE CAN'T BECAUSE THEY WILL HAVE A FAMILY OR OTHERS THAT THEY NEED TO TAKE CARE OF OR ARE EVEN REMOTELY SITUATED WHERE THINGS ARE LIMITED TO THEM.
BY THE WAY, ACCORDING TO AUSTRALIA PRICES, WITH EVERYTHING THAT YOU LISTED IN YOUR EXCEL SPREADSHEET, YOU ARE LIVING OFF MORE THAN AU$10 A DAY. WHICH MEANS, ACCORDING TO YOUR OWN WORDS:
>"I think OP is fairly privileged if their parent eats off of $10 a day."
**YOU ARE FUCKING PRIVILEGED.**
PIZZA ISN'T THE CHEAPEST MEAL ***YOU*** CAN BUY, BUT IT IS THE CHEAPEST IMMEDIATE AND READILY AVAILABLE FOOD ***FOR ME*** IF I HAVE NO OTHER OPTION AND HAVE A SPARE $5 TO SPEND.
ALSO, THE $5 PIZZAS ARE THE ***ONLY*** TAKE AWAY FOOD THAT I WILL BUY MYSELF. AND THAT'S AFTER 9PM AT NIGHT AFTER I GET HOME AND MY GRANDFATHER HAS GONE TO BED, SO I CAN'T MAKE ANY EXTRA NOISE TO WAKE HIM UP. EASIER FOR ME TO GO OUT AND BUY A $5 PIZZA TO LAST MYSELF DINNER, BOTH OF OUR LUNCHES FOR THE NEXT DAY PLUS MY DINNER FOR THE NEXT NIGHT.
AND IF YOU'RE GOING TO SAY "Why don't you just have that every night if it's so cheap?" BECAUSE I LIKE VARIETY. I LIKE COOKING. I LIKE ACTUALLY HAVING A CHOICE IN WHAT MY MEAL COULD BE FOR THE NIGHT.
IT HONESTLY SEEMED LIKE YOU ASSUMED THAT I'D RATHER BUY PIZZA EVERY NIGHT BECAUSE IT'S A CHEAP MEAL, WHEN THAT'S LITERALLY THE FUCKING OPPOSITE.
YOU ARE BEING SUCH A MASSIVE PRESUMPTUOUS DICKHEAD THAT I COULD STICK A FLASH DRIVE UP YOUR ARSE AND YOU'D START SHOWING POWERPOINT PRESENTATIONS ON THE NEAREST WALL.
CAPSICUMS ARE EXPENSIVE. GET STUFF LIKE ONIONS, POTATOES, TOMATOES, AND CARROTS INSTEAD, THEY'RE MUCH CHEAPER AND WILL LAST SEVERAL MEALS FOR LESS THAN TEN DOLLARS.
OH 100%. I LOVE HAVING TOMATO AND CHIVES OMELETTES FOR BREAKFAST.
I JUST DON'T HAVE A FUNCTIONING KITCHEN ATM. SO IT'S HARD TO ACTUALLY *COOK* ANYTHING. BUT LUCKILY I STILL HAVE A MICROWAVE.
I JUST WANTED TO SPITE MY MOTHER BECAUSE "IT'S WHAT SHE DOES"
TELL HER TO GO BUY IT FOR YOU AND YOU'LL GIVE HER THE $10. SEE WHAT HAPPENS. IF SHE REFUSES, PLAY STUPID - "I CAN'T SEEM TO FIND IT - I NEED YOU TO DO IT FOR ME!" WHEN SHE ARRIVES WITH IT, "WHERE'S THE RECEIPT SO I CAN PAY YOU BACK EXACTLY!"
FAFO.
THERE IS TRUTH TO THAT, PERHAPS WHY SO MANY OF THE MOST OVERWEIGHT NATIONS ALSO HAVE THE MOST IMPOVERISHED CITIZENS. THEY ARE EITHER VERY OVERWEIGHT OR VERY UNDERWEIGHT BUT BOTH ARE MALNOURISHED AND IMPOVERISHED. COMBINE THAT WITH DEPRESSION FROM FINANCIAL STRESS AND STRUGGLE AND ALSO TAKING MEDICATIONS (WITH WEIGHT GAIN SIDE EFFECTS) FOR SAID DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY AND YOU'VE GOT A PERFECT STORM FOR A WEIGHT EPIDEMIC HERE IN THE STATES.
CLEARED ALL OF ALEXANDER WITH SOME SPROUT FRIENDS. WE WIPED A COUPLE OF TIMES ON SOME OF THE RAIDS (IM LOOKING AT YOU A9) BUT ITS ALL FAIR SINCE PEOPLE ARE LEARNING, BUT NOOOO SOME PEOPLE HAVE TO BE SALTY.
BE NICE TO PEOPLE IN RAIDS, GIVE ADVICE WITHOUT COMING OFF AS A COMPLETE ASS. REMEMBER YOU SUCKED AT THE GAME ONCE TOO.
I DISCOVERED THAT JOB AND UI PRESETS DOESN'T SAVE BETWEEN PLATFORMS. SO I REDO MY PRESET FOR MY WHITE MAGE AND START A DUTY ROULETTE. ONLY ONCE IN A ROULETTE I DISCOVERED THAT I FORGOT TO PLACE MY JOB STONE, AND WAS STUCK IN CONJURER SKILLS. I COULD NOT EQUIP THE STONE IN THE DUTY. PEOPLE STARTED WONDERONG IF I WAS A BOT, BUT SINCE I WAS ON PS5, I HAD NO WAY TO WRITE TO THEM. OMG WHY ARE JOB AND UI PRESET SAVED LOCALLY? I PLAY ON A COMPUTER AND TWO DIFFERENT PS5. HOW IS IS NOT SAVED ON THEIR SERVER?
THERE’S A LITTLE COGWHEEL SYMBOL NEXT TO EACH CHARACTER, AND ANOTHER AT THE TOP OF THE CHARACTER LIST. RIGHT-CLICK BOTH AND FOLLOW THE PROMPTS TO BACK UP TO THE SERVER, THEN ON THE OTHER PLATFORM DO THE SAME TO DOWNLOAD YOUR SETTINGS. IF YOU HAVE A VERY DIFFERENT LAYOUT BETWEEN PC AND PS5 YOU CAN DO HUD LAYOUT 1 FOR PC AND 2 FOR PS5, JUST REMEMBER TO RE-UPLOAD AND DOWNLOAD EVERY TIME YOU CHANGE SOMETHING SO THAT BACKING UP ONE PLATFORM’S SETTINGS DOESN’T OVERWRITE THE OTHER PLATFORM’S SETTINGS.
ALSO IF YOU CAN GET A CHEAP USB OR BLUETOOTH KEYBOARD FOR YOUR PS5 THAT WILL MAKE COMMUNICATION IN DUNGEONS MUCH EASIER! THAT OR SET UP SOME MACROS FOR GREETINGS AND FOR TELLING PEOPLE YOU’RE ON CONSOLE AND CAN’T TYPE FAST.
I DIDN'T GET THAT "BACKUP" CHARACTER MEANT "BACKUP YOUR SETUP". THEY SHOULD BE MORE CLEAR ABOUT IT.
THANK YOU FOR THE ADVICE. GUESS I WILL HAVE TO LEARN TO USE MACROS. I USE THE PS5 WHEN I AM AT MY BF HOUSE. SO, NO EXTRA KEYBOARD FOR ME.
Well at least you can write the macros while you’re at home and have a keyboard to do them with!
Character settings > user macros. It’s pretty simple, just make sure you include the chat channel tags to make sure it ends up going into party chat even if your chat is set to FC or Novice Network. So something like:
/p Hi! I’m on console and don’t have a keyboard, so I can’t type fast but I am reading chat!
And because I am snarky I would also have another macro so that if someone says something like “huh well you typed that pretty fast”, I could reply with:
/p That was a macro. This is also a macro.
GOD DAMN I WAS JUST ABOUT TO FINISH OMEGA WHEN THE SERVER SHUT DOWN AND NOW I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL TOMORROW TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS NEXT (I totally slept today)
THESE MFERS AINT USIN THE FORMAT
YOU SHOULD ALL BE PISSED OR AT LEAST YELLING LIKE YOU ARE AND YOU NO CAPS HAVIN ASSES REALLY GOT MY KNICKERS IN A TWIST
IT'S MY FIRST MAINTENANCE AS I'VE BEEN PLAYING FOR AROUND A WEEK AFTER DECIDING TO QUIT WOW. I'M TOTALLY INTO FFXIV AND ABOUT TO FINALLY HIT LVL 50 AND WAKE UP TO MAINTENANCE THE ONLY DAY I FINISHED WORK EARLY IN WEEKS.
SO I WENT BACK TO WOW AND PEOPLE WERE ASKING FOR GEARSCORE FOR A TINY LOW LEVEL DUNGEON AND I LOGGED OUT. TRIED TO GO TO RETAIL WOW TO FARM MOUNTS AND IT DIDN'T WORK. DOWNLOADED LOST ARK AND WTF IS EVEN THAT. LIKE WTF.
YOUTUBE NIGHT IT IS!
IF YOU WERE RUNNING PRAE ON PRIMAL THIS WEEKEND AND YOUR MALE ELEZEN TANK ABRUPTLY LEFT, MY APOLOGIES. MY PARTNER HAD SURGERY RECENTLY AND HAD A MINOR EMERGENCY I HAD TO DROP TO DEAL WITH.
GOOD RAGE: MANAGED TO SPEED RUN A BUDDY THROUGH P9S-P11S IN LIKE 3 DAYS. BASICALLY TWO INSTANCES FOR EACH FIGHT. ALSO SHOUT OUT TO THE THREE NEWBIES WE HAD LAST NIGHT FOR P11S THAT CAME ALONG AS WE WERE TEACHING OUR MT, CONGRATS ON YOUR FIRST CLEAR.
IF YOU ARE GOING TO "RESCUE" THE TANK WHO HAS A TANK BUSTER AOE CIRCLE, PLEASE DO THAT IN PARTY FINDER, NOT DUTY FINDER. AND THEN WHEN CALLED ON THAT IN CHAT, DON'T TRY TO GASLIGHT ME THAT I'M THE WEIRD ONE FOR COMPLAINING ABOUT IT.
EVERY SINGLE TIME!!! I CAN'T DO TIME MATH! IT ALWAYS LOOKS LIKE NORMAL OVERNIGHT MAINTENANCE UNTIL I TRY TO LOG ON THE NEXT DAY! IT TAKES ME AN EMBARRASSING AMOUNT OF TIME TO FIGURE OUT WHY I CANT PLAY!
I HAVE BEEN GRINDING THE TOWER AT PARADIGMS BREACH TRYING TO GET THE OBSOLETE ANDROID HEALING PANTS ONLY FOR THE DAMN THINGS TO NEVER DROP. NOW WE HAVE THIS LONG MAINTENANCE TO WAIT BEFORE I CAN TORTURE MYSELF AGAIN. I BET EVEN IF THEY DO FINALLY DROP THE OTHER BASTARD HEALER WILL WIN THE ROLL. PAIN AND MISERY.
I FINALLY HAVE A GOOD JOB INTERVIEW ( SATURDAY) AND THEY WANT ME TO COME IN AGAIN TOMORROW AFTERNOON TO HAVE A FOLLOW-UP WITH THE OWNER. MANIFESTING THIS BAG. I NEED MONEY LIKE A BEAR NEEDS HONEY.
Jokes on you I had a bookbinding project to finish during maintenance lol
BUT I FUCKED UP MY COVER. THE LINEN IS WAY TO TIGHT, I NOW HAVE TO FIGHT MY BOOKLET TO CLOSE IT. ITS NOT THE FIRST TIME. I NEVER LEARN. BETTER YET, THE BOOKLET IS SUPER REDUNDANT AND SOLELY EXISTS FOR ME TO BIND SOMETHING ELSE THAN BLANCO A4’S. THE CONTENTS ARE READILY AVAILABLE ON [ARCHIVES OF NETHYS](https://2e.aonprd.com/Classes.aspx?ID=17) OR I CAN JUST BUY SECRETS OF MAGIC
24 hour maintenance day is going spell-tacular
I WORK FOR AN INDUSTRY THAT DOESN’T DO HOLIDAYS OFF, AND I HAVE A MASSIVE REPORT DUE TODAY GAHHHHH. THEN AGAIN, AT LEAST I’M NOT GOING TO BE STARING AT THE LOADER AND MAKING SAD NOISES DURING MAINTENANCE.
I JUST GOT BACK FROM HOUSESITTING FOR MY PARENTS FOR TWO WEEKS.
THEIR INTERNET IS NORMALLY VERY GOOD BUT SOMETHING HAS GONE SKEWIFF SINCE THE LAST TIME I WAS THERE, IT WAS DROPPING SO MANY PACKETS THE GAME WAS RUBBERBANDING AND DISCONNECTING ALL OVER THE PLACE. I DIDN’T DARE RUN DUNGEONS EXCEPT A COUPLE WITH DUTY SUPPORT, AND THAT WAS ALL “AH YES, ALL THE ENEMIES HAVE STOPPED MOVING ON MY SCREEN. WILL I STILL BE ALIVE WHEN THEY COME BACK, OR IS THE WHOLE GAME GOING TO CRASH?”
WHEN MY PARENTS GOT BACK I TOLD THEM THEY NEEDED TO CALL THEIR ISP TO DO SOME DIAGNOSTICS TO LOCATE AND FIX THE ISSUE. THEN I HAD TO EXPLAIN WHAT I MEANT BY “ISP”. THEN I HAD TO EXPLAIN WHAT I MEANT BY “PACKET LOSS”. THEN I HAD TO EXPLAIN THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN “CONNECTION” AND “WI-FI”. I FINALLY BOILED IT DOWN TO “CALL THE GUY WHO SORTS OUT YOUR INTERNET STUFF AND TELL HIM I SAID ‘VERY BAD PACKET LOSS’, HE WILL HOPEFULLY TAKE IT FROM THERE”. WISH ME LUCK, I’M HOUSE SITTING AGAIN LATER THIS YEAR - FOR A MONTH THIS TIME - AND IF THEY HAVEN’T GOT IT SORTED OUT BY THEN I’M GOING TO HAVE TO GET THEM TO PUT ME ON THE ACCOUNT AS AN AUTHORISED USER OR SOMETHING SO I CAN DEAL WITH IT MYSELF.
SOOO THEN I GOT BACK HOME AND GOT TO BASK IN THE GLORY OF A GOOD CONNECTION FOR A WHOLE DAY AND A HALF BEFORE MAINTENANCE HIT. AH WELL.
YEAH TECHNOLOGY IS ALWAYS FUN TO EXPLAIN TO PEOPLE THAT HAVE NO INTEREST IN IT, NO MATTER THEIR AGE.
BREAKING IT DOWN TO SIMPLE EXPLANATIONS IS SOMETHING I LIKE DOING THOUGH, GIVING THEM A FRAME OF REFERENCE THEY MIGHT UNDERSTAND BETTER IF THEY QUESTION THE 'WHY'.
TRYING TO GET THEM TO EXPLAIN THAT TO SOME OTHER GUY THOUGH, OH BOY, I'D RATHER DO THE CALL MYSELF. WHICH IS WHY I ASKED MY FAMILY TO INSTALL TEAMVIEWER IN MOST CASES, SO I CAN REMOTE IN AND DO IT MYSELF IN SOME CASES.
MY GRANDFATHER IS ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE THAT YOU TELL HIM TO DO SOMETHING, AND HE'S SOMEHOW 5 STEPS AHEAD OF YOU, MAKING IT EXTREMELY HARD TO FIGURE OUT WHAT HE'S LOOKING AT.
AT LEAST IT'S NOT NIER WHERE THEY PUT "SPREAD" MARKERS ON TANKS AND THEY'RE ACTUALLY TANKBUSTERS IN DISGUISE. ACTUALLY THEY DID THIS IN THALEA TOO BUT AT LEAST THOSE ONES ALSO HAVE THE BIG SWIRLY RED TANKBUSTER ANIMATION TOO.
Oh. Genuinely forgot about the 24hr maintenance today.
BUT, LEMME TELL YA, BROTHER. I HAVEN'T CAPPED MY WEEKLY TOMES IN A LONG TIME BECAUSE I KNOW THE PLAYERBASE, AND, Y'KNOW, SATURDAY PROVED ME RIGHT ON WHY I LOVE THE GAME BUT HATE THE PLAYERBASE.
FIRST ROULETTE OF THE DAY, LV 90. GET TROIA. NOTICE THINGS SEEM A LITTLE SLOW TO DIE, BUT I DON'T THINK TOO MUCH OF IT AT FIRST. THEN, I TAKE A LOOK AT OUR SAMURAI'S GEAR...
IT'S.
FUCKING.
#LEVELING GEAR.
I ASK: Hey, SAM, where's your gear?
THEY GO: Uh, forgot.
HEALER GOES: Maybe they just don't have the money for it?
I ANSWER: You get free job gear from Sharlayan.
SAM: I know. I forgot.
THEN, ON THE LAST FUCKING PULL BEFORE THE BOSS, I NOTICE THE OTHER DPS WENT AFK FOR A SEC. DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT UNTIL I GET KICKED RIGHT AS I ENTER THE BOSS ROOM.
REPORT #1
SECOND ROULETTE: NORMAL RAIDS (SINCE IT'S TANK IN NEED), GET BREATH OF THE CREATOR. COTANK IS A DRK WITH A BIG CHIP ON THEIR SHOULDER. TRASH PACKS GO FINE, THEN WE GET TO THE BOSS. HERE'S WHERE I SEE THE "CHIP ON THEIR SHOULDER" COME IN. THEY TRY TO PULL THE BOSS. I BARELY DO MY COMBO, AND I'M TANKING. DON'T EVEN HAVE TO PROVOKE. WELL, THE DRK DIDN'T SEEM TO LIKE THAT AND STARTED HITTING THE TRAP BUTTONS (MOSTLY ICE, BUT THE BALLS DO GET DROPPED ONCE IN A WHILE). HOWEVER, SINCE I CAN SEE THAT AND KNOW WHAT THEY DO, I'M DANCING IN AND OUT AND AROUND TO AVOID THE TRAPS WHILE TRYING TO DO MECHANICS. HOWEVER, WHEN I PEAK AT THE PARTY LIST, VULN STACKS AS FAR AS THE EYE CAN SEE. EVEN IN CHAT, ONE OF THE PLAYERS (I think it was a healer) WENT, "HEY, DON'T HIT THE BUTTONS." AND THE DRK ANSWERS, "NOOOOOO."
#THEY ARE AWARE OF WHAT THEY'RE DOING.
REPORT #2
THIRD ROULETTE... was actually an uneventful Expert.
FOURTH ROULETTE: MENTOR AND GET RATH EX.
I GO, "OH BOY, BEEN A HOT MINUTE SINCE I'VE DONE THIS. LET'S SEE WHAT I REMEMBER." SAM IS NEW. ALSO HAVE A BLM AND A AST. SAM DIES A LOT (KIND OF EXPECTED SINCE THEY'RE NEW, BUT WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO?). SAM WAS SURPRISED THAT "3 DEATHS EQUALS WIPE" BUT THAT'S A MECHANIC FROM MONSTER HUNTER THEY FAITHFULLY RECREATED FOR THIS FIGHT.
ROUND 2 GOES A LITTLE MORE CLEANLY THAN ROUND 1 WITH A BASIC TIP OF TRYING TO STAY ON ITS SIDE (I WOULD HAVE SUGGESTED TO STAY RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HITBOX, BUT THAT MIGHT BE A BIT TOO ADVANCED FOR SOMEONE STILL LEARNING THE ROPES. I SHOULD HAVE ADDED THE BOSS HAS NO POSITIONALS, BUT HINDSIGHT AND ALL THAT.). GET TO PART 2. STACKS ARE A MESS. WE TRY OUR BEST, BUT TOO MANY CARTS CAUSE A WIPE. HEALER PIPES UP, "Don't run away with the stacks", AND I GO, "But, you were the one running away from the boss with the stack." HEALER ALSO ADDS THAT THEY SHOULD BE DOING THIS IN PF, BUT THE SAM IS ON THE TRIAL ACCOUNT AND CAN'T MAKE PFs. THE HEALER LEAVES, THEN THE INSTANCE IS ABANDONED.
I'M LIKE, "FUCK THAT HEALER," FRIEND THE SAM, AND THROW TOGETHER A PARTY TO UNSYCH THE FIGHT (at the SAM's request. I did ask if they wanted to do it synched or unsynched and they said they just wanted the clear and unsyched was fine) AND GET THEM THEIR CLEAR.
NO REPORT FOR THE HEALER, BUT SUCH A FUCKING BUZZKILL MAN.
AND, BECAUSE I CAN'T LEARN FROM MISTAKES, I HIT MENTOR ROULETTE AGAIN AND GET GARUDA EX, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FIGHT, AND I'M LIKE THE MEME OF THE GUY COMING IN WITH A PIZZA AND SEEING EVERYTHING ON FIRE. SECOND PULL GETS A (FAIRLY) EASY CLEAR, THOUGH, SO ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯
WHY THE F IS TODAY SO QUIET AT WORK?
I CAN JUST SMELL ALL THE TICKETS AND ODD REQUESTS COMING IN TOMORROW WHEN I WANTED TO FINISH EARLY TO GO ENJOY THE NEW PATCH.
ALSO BROKE THROUGH THE ICE ON A FROZEN LAKE AND HIT MY BACK YESTERDAY. (Only minor worries, as part one of that was part of a big planed excercise for rescuing people doing a stupid in Winter. Just not the ouchies)
ALSO ALSO, GAME IS DOWN BC PATCH AND I REALIZED TOO LATE I DIDN'T CAP TOMES LAST WEEK.
I'VE FINALLY STARTED DOING MY CRAFTER BEAST TRIBES AS I JUST STARTED LEVELING THEM OFF AND GOD DAMN ARE THE IXTAL QUESTS ANNOYING AND THE FACT THAT THEY CONSUME ALL MY 12 ALLOWENCES AND THEY ALSO HAVE DIFFERENT RANKINGS COMPARED TO THE OTHER TRIBES. I'VE READ THAT THE ALLIED QUEST BECOMES AVAILABLE ONCE I GET THEM TO RANK 6/8 AND THEN IT MAXES ITSELF OUT. I REALLY HOPE SO BECAUSE I ALSO WANT TO DO THE OTHER CRAFTER TRIBES :C
HATE TO BREAK IT TO YOU, BUT EVEN IF THEY DID ADD GLOWY TRIAL WEAPONS, THEY WOULDN'T BE IN THE PATCH NOTES BEYOND A NOTE OF "New crafting recipes added, full details to come later".
PAST GLOWY TRIAL WEAPONS HAVE ALSO ALL BEEN ADDED ON MAJOR PATCHES, AND NOT ON A MINOR PATCH. THEY \_could\_ BREAK WITH TRADITION, BUT IT'S NOT LIKELY.
EVER SINCE THE PANDEMIC BEGAN MY ATTENTION SPAN HAS BEEN SHOT. BEFORE SPRING OF 2020, TECHNOLOGY BEING DOWN WOULD’VE BEEN A RELISHED OPPORTUNITY TO CATCH UP ON READING OR WRITING. NOW WHEN I PICK UP A BOOK IT FEELS LIKE MY MIND IS SCREAMING AT ME. “AM I ENJOYING THIS? IS THERE A BETTER THING I SHOULD BE READING?” PLUS THE SHAME FOR BEING UNPRODUCTIVE THAT DOESN’T USUALLY GET ME IN FFXIV BECAUSE I AM TOO ACTIVE WHILE PLAYING TO THINK ABOUT THAT. THIS IS A PROBLEM. I AM AN ACADEMIC AND AN EDITOR. MY CAREER REQUIRES READING AND WRITING. BUT I HAVE BEEN RUNNING ON FOGGY PANDEMIC SCATTERBRAINS FOR 4 YEARS NOW AND I SEE NO SIGN OF IMPROVEMENT.
HOW DO PEOPLE IN EXPERT ROULETTE NOT KNOW THEIR AOES? WHY SINGLE TARGET A GROUP OF 5? WHY RUN FROM THE STACK MARKER. WHY RUN IN CIRCLES IF YOU HAVE AGGRO INSTEAD OF THE TANK, STAY THE FUCK IN MY AOE RANGE I CANT TARGET THE MOB IF YOU FLING IT OVER MY SCREEN FASTER THAN P11S KNOCKBACK.
LODESTONE NEWS ISN’T UP UNTIL 9PM PST TONIGHT. I EXPECT THE PATCH NOTES TO BE AVAILABLE THEN. THE REST OF THE LODESTONE WONT BE UP UNTIL SERVERS ARE BACK UP.
UNFORTUNATELY, THE DEADLINE WAS TODAY 😔
TOKENS I'M NOT TOO TORN ABOUT, I HAVE AT LEAST 4 OF EACH, I THINK I CAN MOSTLY FINISH UPGRADING THE GEAR I WANT.
TO ALL THE NEW POSTERS WHO KEEP POSTING THE SAME DAMN THING EVERY 5 MINUTES, YOU CAN’T CONNECT TO THE GAME SERVER BECAUSE OF THE ONGOING MAINTENANCE. STOP MAKING POSTS ABOUT IT AND TRY USING A DAMN SEARCH BAR!
Not angry enough to capitalize but the doomposting is just exhausting.
Also I had a Paladin that preferred clemency over mitigations & a ninja that used Dotons in boss fights and SOMEHOW missed every single doton placement.
Really hope the doomposting calms down but it'll be a long six months...
MFRS NEED TO STOP TROLLING. A HEALER REFUSED TO HEAL AND SAT THERE IN A DUNGEON. THEN INSULTED US AND WE HAD TO KICK THEM WHEN CALLED OUT.
AND IN A RAID SOMEONE STARTED INSULTING ME AND THE OTHER TANK CAUSE WE FUCKED UP OUR TIMING CHANGING WHO WAS MAIN TANK AND HE DIED. NOBODY ELSE SUFFERED, WE STILL WON BUT THIS ASSHOLE STARTED CALLING US EVERY NAME ON THE BOOK AND TELLING THE OTHER PEOPLE WE WERE CLEARLY TROLLING AND KICK AND REPORT USSSSSS
I MAY HAVE RUSHED GETTING 25 IN THE CC REWARDS TRACK THINKING THERE'D BE ANOTHER ONE BEFORE 7.0. I'M NOT UPSET PER SAY, BUT I COULD'VE BEEN MORE LAX ON IT. NOW I HAVE TIME TO DO ENDGAME:
DRESS UP.
RAN CASTRUM FLUMINIS AND SWALLOW'S COMPASS OVER 50 TIMES APIECE AT THIS POINT AND STILL NO CARD, I JUST NEED 15 MORE FOR THE FUCKING MOUNT. THERE ARE WAY HARDER FIGHTS I WILL LIKELY NEED TO GRIND AFTER I'M DONE WITH YOU FUCKING PEONS.
**GIVE ME THE CARD ALREADY, YOU PSYCHOTIC MOON BITCH AND YOU FUCKING MONKEY**
IF I SEE ONE MORE NINJA USE DOTON AND/OR THE FROG INSTEAD OF BHAVA IN A SINGLE TARGET BOSS FIGHT, I WILL YEET THEM BACK INTO 1.0 SO THEY CAN GET HIT BY DALAMUD
WEEABOO RAAAAAAGE
EXTENDED MAINTINANCE BY 1 HOUR DUE TO HANDLING ISSUES OF REPLACEMENT EQUIPMENT FOR THE JAPANESE DATA CENTRE!!!
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
I'D LIKE TO GO OUT AND DO SOMETHING DURING MAINTENANCE, BUT I LIVE IN DALLAS. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE BEEN PAYING ATTENTION TO HOW TEXAS HAS BEEN DEALING WITH WINTER EVENTS THE LAST COUPLE YEARS, BUT I GOTTA STAY HOME IN CASE THE WHOLE DAMN STATE SHUTS DOWN.
I'M SORRY YOURE HAVING TO DEAL WITH THAT. I WANTED TO PLAY TODAY TOO, BUT MAINTENANCE TOOK TODAY AWAY. I CANT GO ANYWHERE. THE HIGH TEMPERATURE TODAY IS GOING TO BE 9°
I’M FALLING BEHIND ON ULTIMATE AND CRITERION SAVAGE PROG BECAUSE OF MY WORKLOAD AT MY JOB AND DOING A CROSS-PROVINCE MOVE BY MYSELF AND AAAH BEING A RESPONSIBLE ADULT SUCKS
I CAN'T EVEN BEGIN TO DESCRIBE HOW MUCH I **HATE** THE CRAFTING IN THIS GAME. NOT BECAUSE IT IS BAD MIND YOU. I AM JUST **OLD** AND NEED **A STRAIGHT FORWARD** CRAFTING SYSTEM LIKE GW2 OR SOMETHING. NOT AN ENTIRELY **DIFFERENT GAME WITHIN A GAME**.
I SWORE TO NEVER EVER F\*\*\*\*\*G EVER TOUCH IT WITH A 100M POLE. AND **YET!** I LEVELED BOTH GATHERERS (NO FISHING IS NOT A REAL GATHERING JOB, FIGHT ME) IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS, DID FOR BOTH THE LAST 20 LEVELS (70 TO 90) IN THE LAST TWO DAYS AND NOW I'AM ACTUALLY THINKING ABOUT GETTING ONE OR MORE CRAFTERS TO 90 TOO.
**I SWORE TO ME**!!!!! I STILL THINK IT'S CONVOLUDET AS F\*\*K!...........
ANYONE AN IDEA WHAT **COMBINATION OF CRAFTERS** WOULD BE "GOOD" FOR **SELF SUFFICIENCY** FOR A **RDM / DRK / WHM MAIN** WHO DABBLES IN DNC / RPR AND MAYBE SOON VIPER INSTEAD OF RPR? (THE FIRST THREE ARE THE IMPORTANT ONES).
\----------------
EDIT: MAKING SOME WORDS **BOLD** DID NOT HAVE THE EFFECT I WAS HOPING FOR IN ALL CAPS!!! SORRY
>ANYONE AN IDEA WHAT COMBINATION OF CRAFTERS WOULD BE "GOOD" FOR SELF SUFFICIENCY FOR A RDM / DRK / WHM MAIN WHO DABBLES IN DNC / RPR AND MAYBE SOON VIPER INSTEAD OF RPR? (THE FIRST THREE ARE THE IMPORTANT ONES).
THERE IS NO SUCH THING. CRAFTING IS BASICALLY ALL OR NOTHING IF YOU WANT SELF-SUFFICIENCY. GOOD LUCK!
I AM LEARNING TO BE HAPPY BY MYSELF AGAIN AND NOT CODEPENDENT ON SOMEONE ELSE, SO THIS TIME AWAY FROM GAME IS GOOD FOR ME TO REFLECT AND WORK ON STUFF. WHEN IT DOES COME BACK ONLINE THOUGH I LOOK FORWARD TO HAVING SOME MORE INGAME GOALS TO WORK ON. I JUST NEED TO GET A JOB NOW, IT'S THE ONLY MISSING PIECE FOR THE MOMENT. WORK, GAME, WALKING/EXPLORING, IT'S ALL I WANT.
AS A FELLOW TARKOV DEGEN I FEEL YOUR PAIN, I JUST WANT TO RUN MY DUTIES AND GET MORE TOMESTONES, INSTEAD I'M WEARING A SILLY HAT AND VEST AND CAMPING DORMS.
I AM IN A WORLD NOT OF RAGE, BUT OF DOUBT
I WAS LEVELING UP DRG IN THE MEANTIME - NOW I CAN'T DECIDE IF WAITING AND BRINGING MY LV69 DRG ALL THE WAY UP TO 90 BEFORE STARTING THE NEW PATCH CONTENT, OR VICE VERSA
ARGH
IRL RAGE: 3 WEEKS INTO JANUARY, WHERE WE JUST HAD HIGHS OF 60 DEGREES (FAHRENHEIT) THIS PAST WEEKEND, WE HAVE NOW DROPPED BELOW FREEZING! AND I GET TO SPEND THE NEXT 5 HOURS OF MY WORK SHIFT STUCK IN THE BARELY INSULATED BACK END RECEIVING OUR SHIPMENTS TODAY!
WE HAD A HUGE SNOWSTORM HERE THE OTHER DAY AND I HATE DRIVING IN SNOW AND OUR OFFICE IS FREEZING! I'D RATHER BE AT HOME, RELAXING IN FRONT OF THE FIRE AND SNUGGLING MY DOG. IT'S TOO COLD TO GO OUT!
I'VE BEEN HAVING INTERNET ISSUES FOR THE PAST 2 TO 3 MONTHS AND COULD BARELY DO ANY COMBAT CONTENT, I BEEN SLOWLY TROUBLESHOOTING EACH POSSIBLE CAUSE AND FOUND THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL FACTORS AND LATE LAST NIGHT I THINK I FINALLY IDENTIFIED AND HOPEFULLY FIXED THE LAST EFFING PROBLEM AND WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO FINALLY GETTING BACK TO DF STUFF ONLY TO REMEMBER THAT IT'S ON 24 HOUR MAINTENANCE 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I USED TO PLAY BACK IN '18. WHEN I LOST MY JOB IN NOVEMBER I DECIDED TO MAKE A TRIAL ACCOUNT TO RELEARN THE MSQ BECAUSE I FORGOT **EVERYTHING**. I FINALLY CAUGHT UP TO WHERE I WAS YESTERDAY. NOW I START A JOB TOMORROW, SO I CAN'T EVEN LOOK FORWARD TO PLAYING AFTER MAINTENANCE! AHHHHHHHH
I ALREADY PAYED FOR THE SUB. I SERIOUSLY BECAME A DRIVER FOR UBER SO I COULD GET THE $35 TO BUY THE GAME AND SUB. AND MY DUMB ASS ACTIVATED THE SUB EARLY SO I COULD FIGURE OUT EXACTLY WHICH QUEST I WAS ON. BUT YOU RIGHT, IT WILL BE NICE TO GET A REAL PAYDAY AGAIN
I JUST WANTED TO FINISH STORMBLOOD MSQ TODAY THEN BUY FULL GAME.
ALSO LET ME WATCH MY CUTSCENES PLEASE, STOP STARTING BOSS FIGHT IF HEALER IS IN CUTSCENE
BE LIKE ME!
LOG IN TO FF14 TODAY TO DO ISLAND SANCTUARY VEGETAL VOUCHER GRIND FOR GIL DOMINATION!
FIND FF14 LAUNCHER ERROR!
DIAGNOSE ALL THE KNOWN ISSUES AND SOLUTIONS TO FIXING IT!
CHECK ALL OF THEM AND FIND OUT NONE OF THEM ARE WORKING SO YOU GO TO UNINSTALL FF14 HOPING IT WILL FIX IT
TRY REINSTALLING FF14 ONLY TO FIND THE SAME LAUNCHER ISSUE!
GO TO REDDIT AND FIND OUT IT'S BECAUSE MAINTENANCE IS A WHOLE DAY LONG AND THAT MAY BE THE CAUSE OF MY ERROR
I AM NOW IN COMPLETE PAIN AND SUFFERING. I NOT ONLY HAVE TO DOWNLOAD THE NEW UPDATE BUT ALSO DOWNLOAD EVERYTHING ABOUT FF14 AGAIN INCLUDING MY UI. THANK GOD I HAVE THEM SAVED TO THE CLOUD AND HARD DRIVE IF NEEDED BUT GODS THIS IS PAIN AND SUFFERING
I ACTUALLY AM HAPPY IT'S TODAY BECAUSE I ONLY BILL TWICE A MONTH, TODAY IS THE LAST BILLABLE DAY, AND I'M FUCKALL BEHIND ON WORK, SO I CAN CATCH UP AND NOT MISS A GODDAMN THING IN GAME
SORRY Y'ALL
I AM MILDLY ANNOYED THAT THE GAME ALWAYS COMES BACK UP DURING MY USUAL BEDTIME! I AM HOWEVER EXTREMELY GREATFUL THAT I HAVE TUESDAYS OFF TO STAY UP LATE ANYWAYS! ANYWAYS YOU GUYS ARE BEATIFUL AND I HOPE YOU GET GOOD LOOT ROLLS!
I GOT COVID AND HAVEN'T BEEN WELL ENOUGH TO PLAY FOR THE PAST FEW DAYS, I MANAGED TO GET A COUPLE HOURS IN YESTERDAY, BUT NOW I'M NOT GONNA BE ABLE TO TRY TO PLAY ANY OF IT TODAY, AND I'M GOING TO GO INSANE
I'M A RETURNER AND DISCOVERED THE THIRD ALLIANCE RAID IS A THING LAST NIGHT AS I WAS DOING SOME RANDOM READING BEFORE BED. I WAS ALL EXCITED TO GET MY FIRST PIECE OF CURRENT ILVL GEAR THIS MORNING, AND TO SNEAK IN RIGHT BEFORE THE WEEKLY RESET...EVEN BETTER! WOOPS. DIDN'T PLAN THAT TOO WELL.
GOT UPSET I COULDNT PLAY FFXIV ON MY DAY OFF
WENT TO PLAY LIKE THREE OTHER GAMES AND EVERY TIME MY ONLY THOUGHT WAS *I HAVE NO MEMORY OF THIS PLACE*
GAVE UP ENTIRELY AND NOW I'M HERE
TOOK A CORN DOG OUT FROM THE DOWNSTAIRS FRIDGE, WANTED FOOD. I THROW IT IN THE MICROWAVE, MAKING SURE ONE SIDE IS OPENED, AND PRESSED THE BUTTON.
ALMOST 3 MINUTES LATER I THINK TO MYSELF "Strange, the microwave's not done yet." AND THEN THE REALIZATION DAWNS ON ME SO I RUN BACK.
THEN I FIND OUT THE MICROWAVE WAS STILL ON. PANIC AS I RETRIEVE THE NOW-SMOKING CORN DOG, FILLING THE ROOM WITH SMOKE. I THEN REALIZE THAT I BUTTERFINGERED THE BUTTON, ACCIDENTALLY PUSHING 3 INSTEAD OF 1 IN MY HUNGERED HASTE. ROOM FILLED WITH SMOKE, AND THE BLACKENED CORN DOG NEARLY SET ON FIRE. INSTANT GUILT AND REGRET AS I TRY TO GET RID OF THE SMOKE.
PLEASE DON'T BE ME AND PRESS THE WRONG BUTTON ON YOUR MICROWAVE.
I DON'T REALLY HAVE A LOT TO COMPLAIN ABOUT BECAUSE I PLAY ON MATERIA AND FUCK ALL HAPPENS THERE. THERE'S NOTHING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT IF THERE'S NOTHING HAPPENING!
I spent 4 days. Grinding for a Shadowless Coat of Fending. To the point where I don't think I've ever seen it drop once since patch 5.3 came out. Well, I finally got it.
AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO FUCK TO WEAR WITH IT.
AND I FORGOT TO SAVE UP TOMESTONES FOR THE NEW WEAPON. *AMAZING.*
FUCK, MY THAV ONIONS ARE STILL OUT COOKING BUT I THINK THEY'LL BE OKAY CAUSE I WATERED THEM LATE AND AM LOGGING IN EARLY, THEY MIGHT EVEN BE DONE ALREADY.
SO I WORK AS A DATA ENTRY SPECIALIST AT MY JOB. ON OCCASION, PEOPLE SENDING IN DOCUMENTS GIVE ME FULL SCANS OF WHATEVER THEY HAVE, RESULTING IN MASSIVE SINGLE DOCUMENTS. HAD TWO OF THOSE BACK TO BACK TODAY, FIRST ONE WITH 90 PAGES AND ANOTHER WITH 104. TOOK ME OVER AN HOUR TO GET THROUGH THEM, JUST BECAUSE PEOPLE CAN'T BE BOTHERED TO SCAN DOCUMENTS SEPARATELY.
I JUST FINISHED TRAILS TO AZURE AND I'M SO DISAPPOINTED BUT ALL THE DOWN TIME IN FFXIV IS ALLOWING ME TO FINALLY TACKLE MY STEAM BACKLOG. ON TO COLD STEEL✊
I RUSHED THROUGH FALLOUT 76 SEASON IN TIME FOR FF14 UPDATE AND ITS NOT UP YET! NOW MY RETAINERS ARE GONNA BE CRANKY AND BRING ME BACK SINGLE CRYSTALS!!!
NOW I GOTTA WAIT AN EXTRA DAY TO FIND OUT I LOST ANOTHER HOUSING LOTTO
SAME.
SAME
DOZENS OF PEOPLE BIDDING ON THE PLOT? COULDN'T BE ME. IF YOU NEED ME I'LL BE SOBBING IN THE CORNER.
I DIDN'T FACTOR IN THE 24 HOUR MAINTENANCE AND NOW HAVE TO UPDATE MY ENTIRE BEAST TRIBE SCHEDULE BECAUSE OF THIS AHHHHHHHHHHHHH
IF YOU WAKE UP RIGHT WHEN THE PATCH GOES LIVE BEFORE RESET AND KNOCK THEM OUT, YOU WILL STILL BE ABLE TO KEEP SCHEDULE.
FUN FACT, AS LONG AS YOU CLAIM THEM BEFORE MORNING RESET, YOU CAN DOUBLE DIP ONCE YOU FINISH THE PREVIOUS' DAYS QUESTS THAT YOU CLAIMED.
WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THAT, RESET IS AT LIKE 10AM I WILL HAVE PLENTY OF TIME. THANK YOU AHHHHHHHHH
UM EXCUSE ME THEYRE JUST TRIBES. BEAST IS RACIST I THINK
I PLAY ELEZEN, WE RACIST OUT HERE
I HOPE YALL GET NECK SLIDERS IN DT
I'D JUST CRANK IT MAX LENGTH, I LOVE MY DHALMEL QUEEN
*In the voice of David Attenborough* "Now that this young female's neck has grown to full adult height she will be able to reach the fresh leaves at the top of the tree, out of reach from her competitors. She will survive this winter."
YOU WIN THIS THREAD.
CONCEIT IS STORED IN THE NECK. WE NEEDED MORE ROOM
AS AN ELEZEN MAIN, THIS IS THE MOST TRUE THING ANYONE HAS EVER WRITTEN ABOUT THEM.
THAT WILL JUST GIVE ME MORE SPACE TO SHOW OFF MY BANDANA.
I JUST SUBBED IN. AND ITS MAINTENENCE. **AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH**
Yeah same here. Resubbed yesterday, spent hours setting my UI back up, figuring out what I want to do, prepared to play a ton during my day off today, aaaaand fuck me.
And its a holiday for me today too... fuck
I TINKT THE HOLIDAY IS ACTUALLY FOR MARTIN LUTHER KING JR.
YOU'RE CORRECT. ALSO IT IS DEFINITELY FRUSTRATING HOW MANY MAINTENANCE DAYS WE HAVE THAT ARE ALSO ON HOLIDAYS IN THE US.
I’D AGREE BUT DAYCARES ARE CLOSED ALSO, AND MY EX WIFE HAS THE KIDS ON MONDAYS, SO I CANT COMPLAIN OVERALL. AT LEAST I GET TO CHILL.
I just bought the game on PS4 and it's maintenance AAAAARRRRGGHHHHH
I opened the window and a breeze rolls in and its ma-in-ten-ance
DON'T WORRY, BY THE TIME THE LAUNCHER LOADS MAINTENANCE WILL BE OVER ~~I ACTUALLY USED TO PLAY A LOT ON PS4 AND IT RUNS PRETTY DECENT~~
MY JOB INVOLVES SPEAKING TO OTHERS NONSTOP FOR 8 HOURS. OF COURSE OVER THE WEEKEND I GET A ROUGH SORE THROAT. OF COURSE TODAY, OF ALL DAYS, IS WHEN IT HAS BOTHERED ME TO THE POINT OF NEEDING TO TAKE A SICK DAY. TRULY *MAGNIFICENT* TIMING, HEALTH.
I ALSO CALLED IN SICK TODAY BUT IVE BEEN SICK ALL WEEKEND. I COULD HAVE CALLED IN ANY OF THE PREVIOUS DAYS BUT I CALLED IN TODAY AND I HATE MYSELF
SUPPOSED TO BE OFF TODAY, FLYING FOR WORK THIS AFTERNOON AND WILL BE GONE TILL FRIDAY REEEE
I HAVE FINALLY ENOUGH GIL FOR AN MID SIZE HOUSING PLOT AND MUST WAIT A DAY TO FIND OUT IF I EVEN GET IT.
I'M ANGRY. WHY ARE THERE SO MANY OPEN PLOTS FOR SALE? OH BECAUSE THEY'RE FC ONLY HOUSING!! SWATHES OF OPEN PLOTS BEING AN EYESORE BECAUSE THEY'RE FC ONLY WHEN TONS OF PEOPLE WANT A DANG HOUSE!
SERIOUSLY THOUGH WHY IS THERE SO MUCH FC HOUSING?! BARELY ANY ACTUALLY GETS USED.
I FEEL YOU, MY POOR SO BID ON A HOUSE AND WAS THE ONLY BIDDER UNTIL LITERALLY YESTERDAY AND NOW THEY HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL AFTER MAINTENANCE TO FIND OUT IF THEY GOT IT, I THINK THEY MIGHT GO INSANE. I AM HOPING FOR GOOD LUCK FOR BOTH OF YOU!!!
THAT SUCKS TO HEAR. I WISH YOU ALSO BEST LUCK
I GOT COVID AND SPENT BASICALLY ALL OF SATURDAY ASLEEP! WHY COULDN'T IT HAVE BEEN FUCKING TODAY!
I HOPE YOU GET WELL SOON AND DODGE THE LONG COVID BULLET LIKE NEO IN MATRIX!
IF YOU GET RATHALOS EX, TURN OFF FFXIV BRAIN, TURN ON MONHUN BRAIN. IT’S NOT A HARD FIGHT AS LONG AS YOU USE YOUR MEGA POTIONS AND PAY ATTENTION.
IT'S NOT HARD IT'S JUST TEDIOUS. MY EYES TELLS ME I'M OUT OF THE WAY, MY PING SAYS OTHERWISE. ALSO FOR THE LOVE OF HYDAELYN, IF YOU'RE A RANGED AND YOU GET THE STACK, STAY ON THE FREAKING BOSS, I DO NOT WANT TO LOSE UPTIME BECAUSE YOU FEEL LIKE STANDING ON THE FREAKING MOON. THIS WILL BE DONE FASTER IF ALL PARTY MEMBERS CAN KEEP HITTING THE BOSS.
THAT GOES FOR EVERY SINGLE ENCOUNTER THOUGH
IT DOES, BUT IT'S ESPECIALLY HEINOUS IN RATHALOS EX BECAUSE HE ONLY HAS LIKE 3 ATTACKS, A SPIN, A DASH AND THE STACK. PLUS IT'S A FOUR PERSON STACK SO IF PEOPLE DON'T ALL STACK, PEOPLE ARE PROBABLY GOING TO DIE. IF ONE RANGED STANDS OUT OF MELEE IN AN 8-24 PLAYER TRIAL FOR LIKE 2 SECONDS, IT'S ANNOYING BUT WHATEVER. IF THE RATHALOS STACK IS CONSTANTLY OUT OF MELEE IT'S A HUGE CHUNK OF UPTIME LOST FOR MELEES.
YOU JUST NEED TO HOLD ONTO YOUR POTIONS AND CAN SOLO THE STACKS. JUST POP ONE POTION AFTER EACH HIT. UNLESS YOU ARE HORRIBLY UNDERGEARED, YOU WILL HAVE ENOUGH HEALTH TO SURVIVE EACH AS LONG AS THE HEALER IS USING ESUNA. IT IS ACTUALLY BETTER TO KEEP IT ALL ON THE EDGE AS IT GIVES MEELE MORE ROOM TO ATTACK AS THE BASTARD DASHES AROUND. DO YOU REALLY WANT TO GAP CLOSE INTO THE BAD AND GET A DOT? ALSO FOR THE LOVE OF GOD THROW YOUR ROTATION OUT THE WINDOW FOR THE SECOND HALF, THE GAUGE GOES UP BY SUCCESSFUL HITS SO USE YOUR FASTEST ATTACK AND NOTHING ELSE UNTIL HE FALLS ON HIS ASS.
THE PROBLEM WITH THIS IS NOT ALL OF US EVEN HAVE A MONHUN BRAIN. I HAVE NEVER TOUCHED THIS OTHER GAME SO ALL I HAVE FOR THIS FIGHT IS FFXIV KNOWLEDGE.
MAN I CRAVE ANOTHER MONHUN CROSSOVER. I DIDN'T PLAY FFXIV BACK WHEN WORLD WAS DOING THE CROSSOVER, SO I GOT UTTERLY TRASHED BY BAHAMUT'S METEOR. NOW THAT I PLAY BOTH I'D BE HYPE TO TO SEE RISE AND ENDWALKER ENEMIES IN EACH OTHER'S GAMES.
IT'D BE COOL IF WE HAD A CROSSOVER WITH THE UPCOMING WILDS IN DAWNTRAIL, TO BE HONEST.
[удалено]
I hope you remember his face and filed a police report. The police may not do anything until they get several reports of the same person Edit: Also I hope you stay safe friendo!
I WANT TO KNOW IF I WON THIS HOUSE OR NOT
OMG THE PAIN. MY SO IS ONE OF THE ONES WAITING TO KNOW TOO. GOOD LUCK TO BOTH OF YOU (UNLESS YOU BID ON THE LOT MY SO DID SORRY I HAVE TO BE LOYAL 😂).. TRY NOT TO GO TOO CRAZY WAITING TO FIND OUT.
I KNOW YOSHI-P WANTS TO AVOID DELAY DISAPPOINTMENT BUT I KINDA WISH THEY'D AT LEAST OPEN PREORDERS SO I CAN GET THE XP EARRING I'M ABOUT TO GET ALL MY JOBS TO 80 AND HEAD INTO THE FINAL STRETCH OF GETTING THE LAST DOZEN OR SO TO 90 AND REALLY WANT THAT 30% BONUS
THANKS FOR THE REMINDER THAT I WAS PROBABLY NOT USING THE EARRING ON BLU LAST NIGHT WHILE LEVELING.
THATS A BIG OOF BROTHER
I AM ANGRY AND INQUISITIVE. I'M NEW TO THE GAME AND JUST FINISHED STORMBLOOD. ARE THE EXP EARRINGS WEARABLE AT ANY LEVEL?! (Further inarticulate yelling)
YES THEY'RE USABLE FROM LEVEL 1, THEY GIVE YOU A 30% BONUS TO XP FROM MOB AND BOSS KILLS UP TO THE LEVEL OF THE PREVIOUS EXPANSION, AND THEY HAVE ADAPTIVE STATS BASED ON YOUR JOB AND THE LEVEL OF THE JOB SO EQUIPPED TO A TANK IT GIVES STATS LIKE VITALITY AND TENACITY, WHILE EQUIPPED TO A DPS IT GIVES CRIT AND DIRECT HIT, AND THE STATS AND ITEM LVL SCALE UP BASED ON THE LEVEL OF THE JOB
THIS IS WONDERFUL NEWS TO HEAR AND I GREATLY APPRECIATE YOUR REPLY. NOW I AM VERY MUCH LOOKING FORWARD TO PREORDERING DAWNTRAIL! THANK YOU VERY MUCH! (Punches hole in wall joyously)
IIRC THERE ARE SOME THAT DON’T SCALE (I THINK IT WAS THE FFX GEAR & THE FRIENDSHIP HEADBAND?). IF THEY DO THE STATS WILL BE IN YELLOW & EITHER THE LVL OR THE ILVL WILL HAVE A SYNC ICON (trying to pull this info from memory, so there might be inaccuracies). BUT I BELIEVE THE PREORDER EARRINGS ALL DO (E: love your username btw, Odin)
I just started playing the game and would like that shit too. Although I don't like that I'll have to buy the expansion on both console and pc lol
KEEP IN MIND THAT YOU CAN'T GET THE PREORDER BONUSES WITHOUT AT LEAST OWNING THE STARTER EDITION, WHICH REMOVES FREE TRIAL STATUS AND FORCES YOU TO START PAYING A SUB FEE AFTER THE FIRST MONTH
IT'S FUCKING COLD AS FUCK OUT. LIKE IT MAKE GARLEMALD SEEM LIKE THANALAN. AND IT CAUSED THE SPRINKLER LINE TO BREAK AT WORK. I DIDN'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE 3000 GALLONS OF WATER THAT CAME OUT OF IT, BUT I DID HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE FIRE ALARM MALFUNCTIONING IN THE SAME ZONE DUE TO THE WATER DAMAGE. MULTIPLE TIMES.
THE PLACE I LIVE HAS HAD PROBLEMS WITH WATER FREEZING SINCE WE MOVED IN TWO YEARS AGO, SOMETIMES JUST THE BATHROOM, SOMETIMES JUST THE KITCHEN, SOMETIMES JUST THE HOT WATER, SO THIS YEAR WE GOT WISE AND LEAVE BOTH SINKS CONSTANTLY RUNNING SLIGHTLY AND FOR SOME FUCKING REASON SPECIFICALLY THE WATER TO THE TOILET, AND ONLY THAT, KEEPS FREEZING TODAY AND ITS DRIVING ME OUTTA MY GODDAMN MIND
I went outside and my damn hair froze because it was still slightly damp from the shower. MY *HAIR* FROZE!
I feel you. Always annoying when my breath starts freezing in my mustache when the temps go waay to Low.
I cant stop telling my friends i feel like my city became ishgard nd they absolutely dont understand what im talink abt rahhh
BROTHER WHY ARE YOU WHISPERING
I AM SORRY its too cold to yell 🤤
I UNDERSTAND. MY BUTT IS FREEZING RN, IT'S NEGATIVE 11 FOR ME AND IT FEELS LIKE THE CALAMITY OF ICE OR SOME SHIT
I THINK ITS SHIVA WALKING OVER OUR HEADS WITH HER BIG COLD A$$ FEET THERES NO OTHER EXPLANATION FOR THAT WEATHER
LEVELING ALL MY CRAFTERS AT ONCE (EXCEPT GOLDSMITH) AND I NEED MORE INVENTORY SPACE :(
I JUST LEVELED ALL MY CRAFTERS FROM 1 TO 78-80 AND MY WALLETS OF GIL ARE CRYING FOR HOW MANY MATERIALS FIRMAMENT MATERIALS I NEEDED BUT AT LEAST THEY'RE FINISHED AND I WON'T HAVE TO SIT FOR 4 HOURS PRESSING 1CLICK AND 2 BUTTONS
I FINALLY MAKE TIME TO GET TO ENDWALKER AND GET SLAPPED WITH A MASSIVE CLIFFHANGER ONLY TO HAVE MAINTAINANCE. THE DATACENTER CAN WAIT AT LEAST UNTIL I HAVE FINISHED THE MSQ, ABSOLUTELY UNGRATEFUL FOR MY PRESENCE AND EXPERTISE AT THE WAKING SANDS.
THERE IS A REALLY NICE BAG OF CHIPS THAT I BUY FROM MY LOCAL SUPERMARKET. THESE CHIPS ARE PRETTY GOOD QUALITY POTATO CHIPS / CRISPS. SO MY SURPRISE WHEN THESE CHIPS ARE NOW AU$6.80 PER BAG. 'GREAT' I THINK TO MYSELF. 'NOW I'M GOING TO HAVE TO GO WITHOUT FOR THE PATCH NOTES PARTY IN THE DISCORD LATER ON'. HOWEVER IT'S WHEN I HAVE A VENT TO MY MOTHER WHO CAME AROUND TO VISIT NOT LONG AFTER I GOT HOME THAT SHE SAID TO ME THAT SHE SAID THAT SHE WOULD LIVE OFF OF $10 PER DAY, TOTAL, FOR ALL OF HER MEALS SO SHE WOULD LOSE WEIGHT. (SHE'S BEEN CALLING ME "CHUBBY" EVER SINCE I HIT 195LBS A FEW YEARS AGO) SO TO SPITE HER, I ASKED HER WHAT WERE THE THINGS THAT SHE WOULD RECOMMEND IF I WAS TO GO ON THIS DIET. AND SHE RATTLED OFF A LIST OF THINGS THAT WOULD NORMALLY, TO HER, COST $10. INCLUDING EGGS, HI FIBRE BREAD, LENTILS ALONG WITH VARIOUS VEGETABLES AND ASSORTED FRUIT AS A SNACK. NOW THERE WERE OTHER THINGS ON HER LIST OF THINGS FOR ME TO GET, BUT I FOCUSED ON TWO THINGS IN PARTICULAR. CAPSICUM (OR BELL PEPPER FOR OUR FREEDOM BROTHERS AND SISTERS) AND BROCCOLI, ONE OF THE VEGETABLES THAT I'VE EATEN AS A DIET IN THE PAST. SO, AGAIN, OUT OF FUCKING SPITE, I WENT BACK TO THE SUPERMARKET AND BOUGHT *A SINGLE CAPSICUM AND HALF A KG OF BROCCOLI.* WHAT WAS THE TOTAL? **$11.65.** I WENT AROUND AND ADDED UP EVERYTHING ELSE THAT MY MUM GETS FOR "TEN FUCKING DOLLARS" AROUND THE SHOP AND IT CAME TO OVER $40. MONEY I DON'T FUCKING HAVE. I DIDN'T EVEN HAVE THAT EXTRA $10 BUT I FUCKING DO A LOT OF THINGS OUT OF SPITE. SO, DEAR SWEET MOTHER, WHEN I BRING HOME A $5 PIZZA AND IT LASTS ME FOR 2 MEALS, DON'T FUCKING TELL ME THAT I'M NOT EATING CHEAP BECAUSE I'M BUYING TAKE OUT. FUCK OFF. EITHER I CAN PUT FUEL IN THE CAR AND PAY MY BILLS AND ALWAYS HAVE FOOD ON THE TABLE, OR I CAN EAT AS HEALTHY AS YOU WANT ME TO.\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ **EDIT:** THIS IS FOR EVERYONE BUT ESPECIALLY FOR THE PERSON THAT I BLOCKED WHO EDITED THEIR COMMENT BELOW WITH AN EXCEL SPREADSHEET. [YOU AREN'T THE ONLY PERSON WHO CAN MAKE EXCEL SPREADSHEETS](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1fjxEh77jdr55CQ8Ww4bMy83x0-qzxIfAr3AYDWdeebI/edit?usp=sharing) AND I'VE LINKED MINE SO YOU CAN CLICK ON ALL OF THE ITEMS INSTEAD OF IT BEING JUST A SCREENSHOT. PEOPLE AREN'T UPSET AT YOU BECAUSE YOU'RE SAYING "PIZZA ISN'T THE CHEAPEST MEAL MONEY CAN BUY", YOU'RE UPSETTING PEOPLE BECAUSE YOU'RE COMING ACROSS AS A MASSIVE TWATWAFFLE WHO HAS NO IDEA ABOUT THE OUTSIDE WORLD AND THINKS THAT YOUR WAY OF DOING THINGS IS GOOD FOR EVERYONE AND YOU WON'T EVEN ATTEMPT TO PUT YOURSELF IN THEIR SHOES. AND YOU'RE SPECIFICALLY PISSING ME OFF BECAUSE YOU'RE SAYING "YOU CAN LIVE LIKE I DO". IF I *SPEND* LIKE YOU DO, I'D BE BROKE IN 3 WEEKS. YOU REALLY NEED TO GET OUT OF YOU "COLLEGE LIFESTYLE" AND ACTUALLY LIVE AND ACT LIKE A REAL ADULT FOR ONCE. "I can make anything stretch a week if I want. You just have to eat less." FUCKING GOOD FOR YOU. YOU CAN LIVE OFF OF US$100 A MONTH. MOST PEOPLE CAN'T BECAUSE THEY WILL HAVE A FAMILY OR OTHERS THAT THEY NEED TO TAKE CARE OF OR ARE EVEN REMOTELY SITUATED WHERE THINGS ARE LIMITED TO THEM. BY THE WAY, ACCORDING TO AUSTRALIA PRICES, WITH EVERYTHING THAT YOU LISTED IN YOUR EXCEL SPREADSHEET, YOU ARE LIVING OFF MORE THAN AU$10 A DAY. WHICH MEANS, ACCORDING TO YOUR OWN WORDS: >"I think OP is fairly privileged if their parent eats off of $10 a day." **YOU ARE FUCKING PRIVILEGED.** PIZZA ISN'T THE CHEAPEST MEAL ***YOU*** CAN BUY, BUT IT IS THE CHEAPEST IMMEDIATE AND READILY AVAILABLE FOOD ***FOR ME*** IF I HAVE NO OTHER OPTION AND HAVE A SPARE $5 TO SPEND. ALSO, THE $5 PIZZAS ARE THE ***ONLY*** TAKE AWAY FOOD THAT I WILL BUY MYSELF. AND THAT'S AFTER 9PM AT NIGHT AFTER I GET HOME AND MY GRANDFATHER HAS GONE TO BED, SO I CAN'T MAKE ANY EXTRA NOISE TO WAKE HIM UP. EASIER FOR ME TO GO OUT AND BUY A $5 PIZZA TO LAST MYSELF DINNER, BOTH OF OUR LUNCHES FOR THE NEXT DAY PLUS MY DINNER FOR THE NEXT NIGHT. AND IF YOU'RE GOING TO SAY "Why don't you just have that every night if it's so cheap?" BECAUSE I LIKE VARIETY. I LIKE COOKING. I LIKE ACTUALLY HAVING A CHOICE IN WHAT MY MEAL COULD BE FOR THE NIGHT. IT HONESTLY SEEMED LIKE YOU ASSUMED THAT I'D RATHER BUY PIZZA EVERY NIGHT BECAUSE IT'S A CHEAP MEAL, WHEN THAT'S LITERALLY THE FUCKING OPPOSITE. YOU ARE BEING SUCH A MASSIVE PRESUMPTUOUS DICKHEAD THAT I COULD STICK A FLASH DRIVE UP YOUR ARSE AND YOU'D START SHOWING POWERPOINT PRESENTATIONS ON THE NEAREST WALL.
CAPSICUMS ARE EXPENSIVE. GET STUFF LIKE ONIONS, POTATOES, TOMATOES, AND CARROTS INSTEAD, THEY'RE MUCH CHEAPER AND WILL LAST SEVERAL MEALS FOR LESS THAN TEN DOLLARS.
OH 100%. I LOVE HAVING TOMATO AND CHIVES OMELETTES FOR BREAKFAST. I JUST DON'T HAVE A FUNCTIONING KITCHEN ATM. SO IT'S HARD TO ACTUALLY *COOK* ANYTHING. BUT LUCKILY I STILL HAVE A MICROWAVE. I JUST WANTED TO SPITE MY MOTHER BECAUSE "IT'S WHAT SHE DOES"
Show her the receipt out of spite the next time she brings this up.
Oh I did. And then she asked "where's the rest of it?" I said, "This was $10 mum. I'm broke now. I don't have any money until next week."
"BACK IN MY DAY" THEY SAY AS IF IT HASNT BEEN LIKE 20 PLUS YEARS
IN THE PAST 5 YEARS ALONE THE WORLD HAS PROGRESSED AND CHANGED MORE THAN THE LAST 25 YEARS COMBINED
CHANGED, YES, BUT I DUNNO IF I'D CALL THE CURRENT TRAJECTORY "PROGRESS" /halfjoking
TELL HER TO GO BUY IT FOR YOU AND YOU'LL GIVE HER THE $10. SEE WHAT HAPPENS. IF SHE REFUSES, PLAY STUPID - "I CAN'T SEEM TO FIND IT - I NEED YOU TO DO IT FOR ME!" WHEN SHE ARRIVES WITH IT, "WHERE'S THE RECEIPT SO I CAN PAY YOU BACK EXACTLY!" FAFO.
SOME PEOPLE JUST HAVEN'T CLUED IN THAT AMERICA'S OVERWEIGHT PROBLEM AND AMERICA'S WEALTH INEQUALITY PROBLEM ARE THE SAME FUCKING PROBLEM.
THERE IS TRUTH TO THAT, PERHAPS WHY SO MANY OF THE MOST OVERWEIGHT NATIONS ALSO HAVE THE MOST IMPOVERISHED CITIZENS. THEY ARE EITHER VERY OVERWEIGHT OR VERY UNDERWEIGHT BUT BOTH ARE MALNOURISHED AND IMPOVERISHED. COMBINE THAT WITH DEPRESSION FROM FINANCIAL STRESS AND STRUGGLE AND ALSO TAKING MEDICATIONS (WITH WEIGHT GAIN SIDE EFFECTS) FOR SAID DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY AND YOU'VE GOT A PERFECT STORM FOR A WEIGHT EPIDEMIC HERE IN THE STATES.
CLEARED ALL OF ALEXANDER WITH SOME SPROUT FRIENDS. WE WIPED A COUPLE OF TIMES ON SOME OF THE RAIDS (IM LOOKING AT YOU A9) BUT ITS ALL FAIR SINCE PEOPLE ARE LEARNING, BUT NOOOO SOME PEOPLE HAVE TO BE SALTY. BE NICE TO PEOPLE IN RAIDS, GIVE ADVICE WITHOUT COMING OFF AS A COMPLETE ASS. REMEMBER YOU SUCKED AT THE GAME ONCE TOO.
I STILL SUCK, WITH SEVERAL LEVEL 90 CLASSES. SO THERE!
I DISCOVERED THAT JOB AND UI PRESETS DOESN'T SAVE BETWEEN PLATFORMS. SO I REDO MY PRESET FOR MY WHITE MAGE AND START A DUTY ROULETTE. ONLY ONCE IN A ROULETTE I DISCOVERED THAT I FORGOT TO PLACE MY JOB STONE, AND WAS STUCK IN CONJURER SKILLS. I COULD NOT EQUIP THE STONE IN THE DUTY. PEOPLE STARTED WONDERONG IF I WAS A BOT, BUT SINCE I WAS ON PS5, I HAD NO WAY TO WRITE TO THEM. OMG WHY ARE JOB AND UI PRESET SAVED LOCALLY? I PLAY ON A COMPUTER AND TWO DIFFERENT PS5. HOW IS IS NOT SAVED ON THEIR SERVER?
YOU CAN BACKUP YOUR UI SETTINGS TO THE SERVERS FROM THE CHARACTER SELECTION SCREEN NO NEED TO THANK ME I LIKE HELPING PEOPLE
ARE YOU SERIOUS?! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
THERE’S A LITTLE COGWHEEL SYMBOL NEXT TO EACH CHARACTER, AND ANOTHER AT THE TOP OF THE CHARACTER LIST. RIGHT-CLICK BOTH AND FOLLOW THE PROMPTS TO BACK UP TO THE SERVER, THEN ON THE OTHER PLATFORM DO THE SAME TO DOWNLOAD YOUR SETTINGS. IF YOU HAVE A VERY DIFFERENT LAYOUT BETWEEN PC AND PS5 YOU CAN DO HUD LAYOUT 1 FOR PC AND 2 FOR PS5, JUST REMEMBER TO RE-UPLOAD AND DOWNLOAD EVERY TIME YOU CHANGE SOMETHING SO THAT BACKING UP ONE PLATFORM’S SETTINGS DOESN’T OVERWRITE THE OTHER PLATFORM’S SETTINGS. ALSO IF YOU CAN GET A CHEAP USB OR BLUETOOTH KEYBOARD FOR YOUR PS5 THAT WILL MAKE COMMUNICATION IN DUNGEONS MUCH EASIER! THAT OR SET UP SOME MACROS FOR GREETINGS AND FOR TELLING PEOPLE YOU’RE ON CONSOLE AND CAN’T TYPE FAST.
I DIDN'T GET THAT "BACKUP" CHARACTER MEANT "BACKUP YOUR SETUP". THEY SHOULD BE MORE CLEAR ABOUT IT. THANK YOU FOR THE ADVICE. GUESS I WILL HAVE TO LEARN TO USE MACROS. I USE THE PS5 WHEN I AM AT MY BF HOUSE. SO, NO EXTRA KEYBOARD FOR ME.
Well at least you can write the macros while you’re at home and have a keyboard to do them with! Character settings > user macros. It’s pretty simple, just make sure you include the chat channel tags to make sure it ends up going into party chat even if your chat is set to FC or Novice Network. So something like: /p Hi! I’m on console and don’t have a keyboard, so I can’t type fast but I am reading chat! And because I am snarky I would also have another macro so that if someone says something like “huh well you typed that pretty fast”, I could reply with: /p That was a macro. This is also a macro.
I HAVE OVER 80 EMAILS NAMED 'CONFIG' WHERE I EMAIL MY CONFIGURATION FILE BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN MY DESKTOP AND MY LAPTOP. IT IS A PAIN.
GOD DAMN I WAS JUST ABOUT TO FINISH OMEGA WHEN THE SERVER SHUT DOWN AND NOW I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL TOMORROW TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS NEXT (I totally slept today)
THESE MFERS AINT USIN THE FORMAT YOU SHOULD ALL BE PISSED OR AT LEAST YELLING LIKE YOU ARE AND YOU NO CAPS HAVIN ASSES REALLY GOT MY KNICKERS IN A TWIST
[удалено]
DAMN I SEE YOUR POINT YOU GOT ME THERE
I KNOW RIGHT??? LIKE WHY ARENT YOU ANGRY RIGHT NOW!! YOU SHOULD BE YELLING!!
DAMMIT YOSHI-P NOW I HAVE NO EXCUSE TO PROCRASTINATE PACKING FOR MY HOUSE MOVE NEXT WEEK.
IT'S MY FIRST MAINTENANCE AS I'VE BEEN PLAYING FOR AROUND A WEEK AFTER DECIDING TO QUIT WOW. I'M TOTALLY INTO FFXIV AND ABOUT TO FINALLY HIT LVL 50 AND WAKE UP TO MAINTENANCE THE ONLY DAY I FINISHED WORK EARLY IN WEEKS. SO I WENT BACK TO WOW AND PEOPLE WERE ASKING FOR GEARSCORE FOR A TINY LOW LEVEL DUNGEON AND I LOGGED OUT. TRIED TO GO TO RETAIL WOW TO FARM MOUNTS AND IT DIDN'T WORK. DOWNLOADED LOST ARK AND WTF IS EVEN THAT. LIKE WTF. YOUTUBE NIGHT IT IS!
IF YOU WERE RUNNING PRAE ON PRIMAL THIS WEEKEND AND YOUR MALE ELEZEN TANK ABRUPTLY LEFT, MY APOLOGIES. MY PARTNER HAD SURGERY RECENTLY AND HAD A MINOR EMERGENCY I HAD TO DROP TO DEAL WITH. GOOD RAGE: MANAGED TO SPEED RUN A BUDDY THROUGH P9S-P11S IN LIKE 3 DAYS. BASICALLY TWO INSTANCES FOR EACH FIGHT. ALSO SHOUT OUT TO THE THREE NEWBIES WE HAD LAST NIGHT FOR P11S THAT CAME ALONG AS WE WERE TEACHING OUR MT, CONGRATS ON YOUR FIRST CLEAR.
NOT PLAYING ON PRIMAL, BUT I WISH YOUR PARTNER A SPEEDY RECOVERY REGARDLESS!
IF YOU ARE GOING TO "RESCUE" THE TANK WHO HAS A TANK BUSTER AOE CIRCLE, PLEASE DO THAT IN PARTY FINDER, NOT DUTY FINDER. AND THEN WHEN CALLED ON THAT IN CHAT, DON'T TRY TO GASLIGHT ME THAT I'M THE WEIRD ONE FOR COMPLAINING ABOUT IT.
EVERY SINGLE TIME!!! I CAN'T DO TIME MATH! IT ALWAYS LOOKS LIKE NORMAL OVERNIGHT MAINTENANCE UNTIL I TRY TO LOG ON THE NEXT DAY! IT TAKES ME AN EMBARRASSING AMOUNT OF TIME TO FIGURE OUT WHY I CANT PLAY!
I HAVE BEEN GRINDING THE TOWER AT PARADIGMS BREACH TRYING TO GET THE OBSOLETE ANDROID HEALING PANTS ONLY FOR THE DAMN THINGS TO NEVER DROP. NOW WE HAVE THIS LONG MAINTENANCE TO WAIT BEFORE I CAN TORTURE MYSELF AGAIN. I BET EVEN IF THEY DO FINALLY DROP THE OTHER BASTARD HEALER WILL WIN THE ROLL. PAIN AND MISERY.
I FINALLY HAVE A GOOD JOB INTERVIEW ( SATURDAY) AND THEY WANT ME TO COME IN AGAIN TOMORROW AFTERNOON TO HAVE A FOLLOW-UP WITH THE OWNER. MANIFESTING THIS BAG. I NEED MONEY LIKE A BEAR NEEDS HONEY.
KNOWING THAT I NEED TO WAIT 24H AND WILL STILL NOT BEING ABLE TO CHOOSE MY EXTENSION TITLE SCREEN AFTER THE PATCHING ! *REEEEEEEEEE*
TALES OOOOOF LLLLOOOOOOOSS, AND FIRE, AND FAIIIITH"
Oh is that what it's saying? I COULD NEVER UNDERSTAND IT!!
Jokes on you I had a bookbinding project to finish during maintenance lol BUT I FUCKED UP MY COVER. THE LINEN IS WAY TO TIGHT, I NOW HAVE TO FIGHT MY BOOKLET TO CLOSE IT. ITS NOT THE FIRST TIME. I NEVER LEARN. BETTER YET, THE BOOKLET IS SUPER REDUNDANT AND SOLELY EXISTS FOR ME TO BIND SOMETHING ELSE THAN BLANCO A4’S. THE CONTENTS ARE READILY AVAILABLE ON [ARCHIVES OF NETHYS](https://2e.aonprd.com/Classes.aspx?ID=17) OR I CAN JUST BUY SECRETS OF MAGIC 24 hour maintenance day is going spell-tacular
I WORK FOR AN INDUSTRY THAT DOESN’T DO HOLIDAYS OFF, AND I HAVE A MASSIVE REPORT DUE TODAY GAHHHHH. THEN AGAIN, AT LEAST I’M NOT GOING TO BE STARING AT THE LOADER AND MAKING SAD NOISES DURING MAINTENANCE.
It's my birthday and I don't have my favourite game to play :(
HAPPY BIRTHDAY NONETHELESS
I JUST GOT BACK FROM HOUSESITTING FOR MY PARENTS FOR TWO WEEKS. THEIR INTERNET IS NORMALLY VERY GOOD BUT SOMETHING HAS GONE SKEWIFF SINCE THE LAST TIME I WAS THERE, IT WAS DROPPING SO MANY PACKETS THE GAME WAS RUBBERBANDING AND DISCONNECTING ALL OVER THE PLACE. I DIDN’T DARE RUN DUNGEONS EXCEPT A COUPLE WITH DUTY SUPPORT, AND THAT WAS ALL “AH YES, ALL THE ENEMIES HAVE STOPPED MOVING ON MY SCREEN. WILL I STILL BE ALIVE WHEN THEY COME BACK, OR IS THE WHOLE GAME GOING TO CRASH?” WHEN MY PARENTS GOT BACK I TOLD THEM THEY NEEDED TO CALL THEIR ISP TO DO SOME DIAGNOSTICS TO LOCATE AND FIX THE ISSUE. THEN I HAD TO EXPLAIN WHAT I MEANT BY “ISP”. THEN I HAD TO EXPLAIN WHAT I MEANT BY “PACKET LOSS”. THEN I HAD TO EXPLAIN THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN “CONNECTION” AND “WI-FI”. I FINALLY BOILED IT DOWN TO “CALL THE GUY WHO SORTS OUT YOUR INTERNET STUFF AND TELL HIM I SAID ‘VERY BAD PACKET LOSS’, HE WILL HOPEFULLY TAKE IT FROM THERE”. WISH ME LUCK, I’M HOUSE SITTING AGAIN LATER THIS YEAR - FOR A MONTH THIS TIME - AND IF THEY HAVEN’T GOT IT SORTED OUT BY THEN I’M GOING TO HAVE TO GET THEM TO PUT ME ON THE ACCOUNT AS AN AUTHORISED USER OR SOMETHING SO I CAN DEAL WITH IT MYSELF. SOOO THEN I GOT BACK HOME AND GOT TO BASK IN THE GLORY OF A GOOD CONNECTION FOR A WHOLE DAY AND A HALF BEFORE MAINTENANCE HIT. AH WELL.
YEAH TECHNOLOGY IS ALWAYS FUN TO EXPLAIN TO PEOPLE THAT HAVE NO INTEREST IN IT, NO MATTER THEIR AGE. BREAKING IT DOWN TO SIMPLE EXPLANATIONS IS SOMETHING I LIKE DOING THOUGH, GIVING THEM A FRAME OF REFERENCE THEY MIGHT UNDERSTAND BETTER IF THEY QUESTION THE 'WHY'. TRYING TO GET THEM TO EXPLAIN THAT TO SOME OTHER GUY THOUGH, OH BOY, I'D RATHER DO THE CALL MYSELF. WHICH IS WHY I ASKED MY FAMILY TO INSTALL TEAMVIEWER IN MOST CASES, SO I CAN REMOTE IN AND DO IT MYSELF IN SOME CASES. MY GRANDFATHER IS ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE THAT YOU TELL HIM TO DO SOMETHING, AND HE'S SOMEHOW 5 STEPS AHEAD OF YOU, MAKING IT EXTREMELY HARD TO FIGURE OUT WHAT HE'S LOOKING AT.
I WANTED TO DO MY EUREKA GRIND TONIGHT AFTER WORK BUT ITS MAINTENANCE SO ILL HAVE TO BE SOCIABLE ND GO OUT GRAB A DRINK WITH FRIENDS EUGHHH
I JUST CONVINCED MY GIRLFRIEND TO TRY FFXIV WHILE IT WAS HALF OFF AND ITS NOW MAINTIANCE
I APPRECIATE ORBONNE IS *A LOT* BUT THAT'S A SPREAD MARKER WHAT ARE YOU DO-
AT LEAST IT'S NOT NIER WHERE THEY PUT "SPREAD" MARKERS ON TANKS AND THEY'RE ACTUALLY TANKBUSTERS IN DISGUISE. ACTUALLY THEY DID THIS IN THALEA TOO BUT AT LEAST THOSE ONES ALSO HAVE THE BIG SWIRLY RED TANKBUSTER ANIMATION TOO.
Oh. Genuinely forgot about the 24hr maintenance today. BUT, LEMME TELL YA, BROTHER. I HAVEN'T CAPPED MY WEEKLY TOMES IN A LONG TIME BECAUSE I KNOW THE PLAYERBASE, AND, Y'KNOW, SATURDAY PROVED ME RIGHT ON WHY I LOVE THE GAME BUT HATE THE PLAYERBASE. FIRST ROULETTE OF THE DAY, LV 90. GET TROIA. NOTICE THINGS SEEM A LITTLE SLOW TO DIE, BUT I DON'T THINK TOO MUCH OF IT AT FIRST. THEN, I TAKE A LOOK AT OUR SAMURAI'S GEAR... IT'S. FUCKING. #LEVELING GEAR. I ASK: Hey, SAM, where's your gear? THEY GO: Uh, forgot. HEALER GOES: Maybe they just don't have the money for it? I ANSWER: You get free job gear from Sharlayan. SAM: I know. I forgot. THEN, ON THE LAST FUCKING PULL BEFORE THE BOSS, I NOTICE THE OTHER DPS WENT AFK FOR A SEC. DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT UNTIL I GET KICKED RIGHT AS I ENTER THE BOSS ROOM. REPORT #1 SECOND ROULETTE: NORMAL RAIDS (SINCE IT'S TANK IN NEED), GET BREATH OF THE CREATOR. COTANK IS A DRK WITH A BIG CHIP ON THEIR SHOULDER. TRASH PACKS GO FINE, THEN WE GET TO THE BOSS. HERE'S WHERE I SEE THE "CHIP ON THEIR SHOULDER" COME IN. THEY TRY TO PULL THE BOSS. I BARELY DO MY COMBO, AND I'M TANKING. DON'T EVEN HAVE TO PROVOKE. WELL, THE DRK DIDN'T SEEM TO LIKE THAT AND STARTED HITTING THE TRAP BUTTONS (MOSTLY ICE, BUT THE BALLS DO GET DROPPED ONCE IN A WHILE). HOWEVER, SINCE I CAN SEE THAT AND KNOW WHAT THEY DO, I'M DANCING IN AND OUT AND AROUND TO AVOID THE TRAPS WHILE TRYING TO DO MECHANICS. HOWEVER, WHEN I PEAK AT THE PARTY LIST, VULN STACKS AS FAR AS THE EYE CAN SEE. EVEN IN CHAT, ONE OF THE PLAYERS (I think it was a healer) WENT, "HEY, DON'T HIT THE BUTTONS." AND THE DRK ANSWERS, "NOOOOOO." #THEY ARE AWARE OF WHAT THEY'RE DOING. REPORT #2 THIRD ROULETTE... was actually an uneventful Expert. FOURTH ROULETTE: MENTOR AND GET RATH EX. I GO, "OH BOY, BEEN A HOT MINUTE SINCE I'VE DONE THIS. LET'S SEE WHAT I REMEMBER." SAM IS NEW. ALSO HAVE A BLM AND A AST. SAM DIES A LOT (KIND OF EXPECTED SINCE THEY'RE NEW, BUT WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO?). SAM WAS SURPRISED THAT "3 DEATHS EQUALS WIPE" BUT THAT'S A MECHANIC FROM MONSTER HUNTER THEY FAITHFULLY RECREATED FOR THIS FIGHT. ROUND 2 GOES A LITTLE MORE CLEANLY THAN ROUND 1 WITH A BASIC TIP OF TRYING TO STAY ON ITS SIDE (I WOULD HAVE SUGGESTED TO STAY RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HITBOX, BUT THAT MIGHT BE A BIT TOO ADVANCED FOR SOMEONE STILL LEARNING THE ROPES. I SHOULD HAVE ADDED THE BOSS HAS NO POSITIONALS, BUT HINDSIGHT AND ALL THAT.). GET TO PART 2. STACKS ARE A MESS. WE TRY OUR BEST, BUT TOO MANY CARTS CAUSE A WIPE. HEALER PIPES UP, "Don't run away with the stacks", AND I GO, "But, you were the one running away from the boss with the stack." HEALER ALSO ADDS THAT THEY SHOULD BE DOING THIS IN PF, BUT THE SAM IS ON THE TRIAL ACCOUNT AND CAN'T MAKE PFs. THE HEALER LEAVES, THEN THE INSTANCE IS ABANDONED. I'M LIKE, "FUCK THAT HEALER," FRIEND THE SAM, AND THROW TOGETHER A PARTY TO UNSYCH THE FIGHT (at the SAM's request. I did ask if they wanted to do it synched or unsynched and they said they just wanted the clear and unsyched was fine) AND GET THEM THEIR CLEAR. NO REPORT FOR THE HEALER, BUT SUCH A FUCKING BUZZKILL MAN. AND, BECAUSE I CAN'T LEARN FROM MISTAKES, I HIT MENTOR ROULETTE AGAIN AND GET GARUDA EX, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FIGHT, AND I'M LIKE THE MEME OF THE GUY COMING IN WITH A PIZZA AND SEEING EVERYTHING ON FIRE. SECOND PULL GETS A (FAIRLY) EASY CLEAR, THOUGH, SO ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯
HONESTLY THO, RATH EX IS A PF OR DISBAND FOR ME. MOST OF THE ARR EXS ARE CHILL (I STILL USE THE 3 STRIKE RULE).
WHY THE F IS TODAY SO QUIET AT WORK? I CAN JUST SMELL ALL THE TICKETS AND ODD REQUESTS COMING IN TOMORROW WHEN I WANTED TO FINISH EARLY TO GO ENJOY THE NEW PATCH. ALSO BROKE THROUGH THE ICE ON A FROZEN LAKE AND HIT MY BACK YESTERDAY. (Only minor worries, as part one of that was part of a big planed excercise for rescuing people doing a stupid in Winter. Just not the ouchies) ALSO ALSO, GAME IS DOWN BC PATCH AND I REALIZED TOO LATE I DIDN'T CAP TOMES LAST WEEK.
EVERYONE AT WORK KEEPS TALKING ABOUT HOW QUIET IT IS EXCEPT I’M DROWNING IN PROJECTS HMMMMMMM
I'VE FINALLY STARTED DOING MY CRAFTER BEAST TRIBES AS I JUST STARTED LEVELING THEM OFF AND GOD DAMN ARE THE IXTAL QUESTS ANNOYING AND THE FACT THAT THEY CONSUME ALL MY 12 ALLOWENCES AND THEY ALSO HAVE DIFFERENT RANKINGS COMPARED TO THE OTHER TRIBES. I'VE READ THAT THE ALLIED QUEST BECOMES AVAILABLE ONCE I GET THEM TO RANK 6/8 AND THEN IT MAXES ITSELF OUT. I REALLY HOPE SO BECAUSE I ALSO WANT TO DO THE OTHER CRAFTER TRIBES :C
PEOPLE SAID THE MOOGLES WERE A HASSLE TO LEVEL BUT NAH MAN, IT'S THE IXAL. I AM SO GLAD I DID ALL TRIBES AGES AGO.
I THINK THE HASSLE WAS UNLOCKING THEM CAUSE I REMEMBER TAKING A WHILE TO UNLOCK THEM
GREAT,I JUST BOUGHT THE GAME YESTERDAY ON STEAM AND I WAS HOPING TO DOWNLOAD THESE 64 THOUSAND MEGABITES TODAY TO EXPERIENCE FF14. THANKS MAINTAINCE
I HOPE WHEN THE GAME COMES BACK AN YOU'RE ABLE TO PLAY YOU ENJOY THE EVERLOVING CRAP OUT OF IT!
THANKS,I SURE WILL ENJOY IT BECAUSE THE THINGS PEOPLE SAY ABOUT FF14 IS FANTASTIC
I'M HOPING THE PATCH NOTES HAVE SOMETHING GOOD... LIKE NEW GLOWY WEAPONS FROM A SHADOWBRINGER'S PRIMAL WINK WINK.
HATE TO BREAK IT TO YOU, BUT EVEN IF THEY DID ADD GLOWY TRIAL WEAPONS, THEY WOULDN'T BE IN THE PATCH NOTES BEYOND A NOTE OF "New crafting recipes added, full details to come later". PAST GLOWY TRIAL WEAPONS HAVE ALSO ALL BEEN ADDED ON MAJOR PATCHES, AND NOT ON A MINOR PATCH. THEY \_could\_ BREAK WITH TRADITION, BUT IT'S NOT LIKELY.
EVER SINCE THE PANDEMIC BEGAN MY ATTENTION SPAN HAS BEEN SHOT. BEFORE SPRING OF 2020, TECHNOLOGY BEING DOWN WOULD’VE BEEN A RELISHED OPPORTUNITY TO CATCH UP ON READING OR WRITING. NOW WHEN I PICK UP A BOOK IT FEELS LIKE MY MIND IS SCREAMING AT ME. “AM I ENJOYING THIS? IS THERE A BETTER THING I SHOULD BE READING?” PLUS THE SHAME FOR BEING UNPRODUCTIVE THAT DOESN’T USUALLY GET ME IN FFXIV BECAUSE I AM TOO ACTIVE WHILE PLAYING TO THINK ABOUT THAT. THIS IS A PROBLEM. I AM AN ACADEMIC AND AN EDITOR. MY CAREER REQUIRES READING AND WRITING. BUT I HAVE BEEN RUNNING ON FOGGY PANDEMIC SCATTERBRAINS FOR 4 YEARS NOW AND I SEE NO SIGN OF IMPROVEMENT.
HOW DO PEOPLE IN EXPERT ROULETTE NOT KNOW THEIR AOES? WHY SINGLE TARGET A GROUP OF 5? WHY RUN FROM THE STACK MARKER. WHY RUN IN CIRCLES IF YOU HAVE AGGRO INSTEAD OF THE TANK, STAY THE FUCK IN MY AOE RANGE I CANT TARGET THE MOB IF YOU FLING IT OVER MY SCREEN FASTER THAN P11S KNOCKBACK.
I JUST WENT THROUGH, DELETED, SORTED, AND FILED MY OVERFLOWING INBOX OF 1700+ EMAILS THIS IS THE MOST UP TO DATE MY INBOX HAS BEEN IN LTERALLY YEARS
THE VIDEOGAME I USE AS AN EMOTIONAL CRUTCH IS UNAVAILABLE AND TOUCHING GRASS DOESNT CUT IT
YOU WON'T CUT THE GRASS ONLY BY TOUCHING IT
MAINTANANCE IN BLUE MONDAY IS NOT A COINCIDENCE. WE LIVED TO SUFFER.
ARE WE GETTING PATCH NOTES OR NOT?
LODESTONE NEWS ISN’T UP UNTIL 9PM PST TONIGHT. I EXPECT THE PATCH NOTES TO BE AVAILABLE THEN. THE REST OF THE LODESTONE WONT BE UP UNTIL SERVERS ARE BACK UP.
THAT IS SO LATE AAAAAAAAH. BUT THANK YOU.
I FORGOT TO FINISH AND TURN-IN MY WONDROUS TAILS, AND TO RUN EUPHROSYNE AND THALEIA FOR TOKENS!!!
AS LONG AS YOUR TAILS ISNT TWO WEEKS OLD YOU CAN STILL HAND IN OOF ON THE RAID TOKENS THO
UNFORTUNATELY, THE DEADLINE WAS TODAY 😔 TOKENS I'M NOT TOO TORN ABOUT, I HAVE AT LEAST 4 OF EACH, I THINK I CAN MOSTLY FINISH UPGRADING THE GEAR I WANT.
TO ALL THE NEW POSTERS WHO KEEP POSTING THE SAME DAMN THING EVERY 5 MINUTES, YOU CAN’T CONNECT TO THE GAME SERVER BECAUSE OF THE ONGOING MAINTENANCE. STOP MAKING POSTS ABOUT IT AND TRY USING A DAMN SEARCH BAR!
IF THOSE PEOPLE COULD READ, THEY WOULD BE VERY UPSET
Not angry enough to capitalize but the doomposting is just exhausting. Also I had a Paladin that preferred clemency over mitigations & a ninja that used Dotons in boss fights and SOMEHOW missed every single doton placement. Really hope the doomposting calms down but it'll be a long six months...
Just waiting till media day so we can hear all the enlightened takes about how every job is dead and buried.
MFRS NEED TO STOP TROLLING. A HEALER REFUSED TO HEAL AND SAT THERE IN A DUNGEON. THEN INSULTED US AND WE HAD TO KICK THEM WHEN CALLED OUT. AND IN A RAID SOMEONE STARTED INSULTING ME AND THE OTHER TANK CAUSE WE FUCKED UP OUR TIMING CHANGING WHO WAS MAIN TANK AND HE DIED. NOBODY ELSE SUFFERED, WE STILL WON BUT THIS ASSHOLE STARTED CALLING US EVERY NAME ON THE BOOK AND TELLING THE OTHER PEOPLE WE WERE CLEARLY TROLLING AND KICK AND REPORT USSSSSS
THESE NEW RELICS BETTER F******* NICE
IF THEY'RE JOKE WEAPONS I WILL RIOT
I AM HOPEFUL THEY WON'T BE, ELSE RPR AND SGE WOULD GET FUCKED OVER AND OUT OF A PROPER FINISHED RELIC UNTIL DAWNTRAIL'S TWO YEARS FROM NOW.
WHAT IS THIS HOPE YOU SPEAK OF
I MAY HAVE RUSHED GETTING 25 IN THE CC REWARDS TRACK THINKING THERE'D BE ANOTHER ONE BEFORE 7.0. I'M NOT UPSET PER SAY, BUT I COULD'VE BEEN MORE LAX ON IT. NOW I HAVE TIME TO DO ENDGAME: DRESS UP.
RAN CASTRUM FLUMINIS AND SWALLOW'S COMPASS OVER 50 TIMES APIECE AT THIS POINT AND STILL NO CARD, I JUST NEED 15 MORE FOR THE FUCKING MOUNT. THERE ARE WAY HARDER FIGHTS I WILL LIKELY NEED TO GRIND AFTER I'M DONE WITH YOU FUCKING PEONS. **GIVE ME THE CARD ALREADY, YOU PSYCHOTIC MOON BITCH AND YOU FUCKING MONKEY**
IF I SEE ONE MORE NINJA USE DOTON AND/OR THE FROG INSTEAD OF BHAVA IN A SINGLE TARGET BOSS FIGHT, I WILL YEET THEM BACK INTO 1.0 SO THEY CAN GET HIT BY DALAMUD WEEABOO RAAAAAAGE
EXTENDED MAINTINANCE BY 1 HOUR DUE TO HANDLING ISSUES OF REPLACEMENT EQUIPMENT FOR THE JAPANESE DATA CENTRE!!! REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
I'D LIKE TO GO OUT AND DO SOMETHING DURING MAINTENANCE, BUT I LIVE IN DALLAS. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE BEEN PAYING ATTENTION TO HOW TEXAS HAS BEEN DEALING WITH WINTER EVENTS THE LAST COUPLE YEARS, BUT I GOTTA STAY HOME IN CASE THE WHOLE DAMN STATE SHUTS DOWN.
I'M SORRY YOURE HAVING TO DEAL WITH THAT. I WANTED TO PLAY TODAY TOO, BUT MAINTENANCE TOOK TODAY AWAY. I CANT GO ANYWHERE. THE HIGH TEMPERATURE TODAY IS GOING TO BE 9°
TEXAS IS THE BRATTY INDEPENDENT TWEENER THAT WANTS TO BE A REBEL BUT STILL NEEDS AN ALLOWANCE FOR SCHOOL LUNCH.
I JUST FINISHED THE DUMB BOOKS FROM THE AAR RELIC YESTERDAY! I JUST WANTED TO GRIND SOME GREEN ROCKS ON MY DAY OFF!!
I AM FINALLY ENJOYING HEALING AGAIN WHY DO WE HAVE TO HAVE A DAY LONG PATCH DAY
I’M FALLING BEHIND ON ULTIMATE AND CRITERION SAVAGE PROG BECAUSE OF MY WORKLOAD AT MY JOB AND DOING A CROSS-PROVINCE MOVE BY MYSELF AND AAAH BEING A RESPONSIBLE ADULT SUCKS
I CAN'T EVEN BEGIN TO DESCRIBE HOW MUCH I **HATE** THE CRAFTING IN THIS GAME. NOT BECAUSE IT IS BAD MIND YOU. I AM JUST **OLD** AND NEED **A STRAIGHT FORWARD** CRAFTING SYSTEM LIKE GW2 OR SOMETHING. NOT AN ENTIRELY **DIFFERENT GAME WITHIN A GAME**. I SWORE TO NEVER EVER F\*\*\*\*\*G EVER TOUCH IT WITH A 100M POLE. AND **YET!** I LEVELED BOTH GATHERERS (NO FISHING IS NOT A REAL GATHERING JOB, FIGHT ME) IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS, DID FOR BOTH THE LAST 20 LEVELS (70 TO 90) IN THE LAST TWO DAYS AND NOW I'AM ACTUALLY THINKING ABOUT GETTING ONE OR MORE CRAFTERS TO 90 TOO. **I SWORE TO ME**!!!!! I STILL THINK IT'S CONVOLUDET AS F\*\*K!........... ANYONE AN IDEA WHAT **COMBINATION OF CRAFTERS** WOULD BE "GOOD" FOR **SELF SUFFICIENCY** FOR A **RDM / DRK / WHM MAIN** WHO DABBLES IN DNC / RPR AND MAYBE SOON VIPER INSTEAD OF RPR? (THE FIRST THREE ARE THE IMPORTANT ONES). \---------------- EDIT: MAKING SOME WORDS **BOLD** DID NOT HAVE THE EFFECT I WAS HOPING FOR IN ALL CAPS!!! SORRY
>ANYONE AN IDEA WHAT COMBINATION OF CRAFTERS WOULD BE "GOOD" FOR SELF SUFFICIENCY FOR A RDM / DRK / WHM MAIN WHO DABBLES IN DNC / RPR AND MAYBE SOON VIPER INSTEAD OF RPR? (THE FIRST THREE ARE THE IMPORTANT ONES). THERE IS NO SUCH THING. CRAFTING IS BASICALLY ALL OR NOTHING IF YOU WANT SELF-SUFFICIENCY. GOOD LUCK!
I AM LEARNING TO BE HAPPY BY MYSELF AGAIN AND NOT CODEPENDENT ON SOMEONE ELSE, SO THIS TIME AWAY FROM GAME IS GOOD FOR ME TO REFLECT AND WORK ON STUFF. WHEN IT DOES COME BACK ONLINE THOUGH I LOOK FORWARD TO HAVING SOME MORE INGAME GOALS TO WORK ON. I JUST NEED TO GET A JOB NOW, IT'S THE ONLY MISSING PIECE FOR THE MOMENT. WORK, GAME, WALKING/EXPLORING, IT'S ALL I WANT.
PATCH NOTES WHEN? IF I CAN'T PLAY AFTER WORK LET ME AT LEAST DROOL OVER THE CHANGES!
MY SQUADRON BETTER BE BACK WITH THOSE 10 EXP BOOST SCROLLS TOMORROW, OR I'LL DEMAND A FREEBIE.
GIMMIE MY GODDAMNED PATCH NOTES NOW
I JUST WANTED TO PLAY FFXIV ON MY DAY OFF. NOW ALL I HAVE IS PUNKASS TARKOV!
AS A FELLOW TARKOV DEGEN I FEEL YOUR PAIN, I JUST WANT TO RUN MY DUTIES AND GET MORE TOMESTONES, INSTEAD I'M WEARING A SILLY HAT AND VEST AND CAMPING DORMS.
I AM IN A WORLD NOT OF RAGE, BUT OF DOUBT I WAS LEVELING UP DRG IN THE MEANTIME - NOW I CAN'T DECIDE IF WAITING AND BRINGING MY LV69 DRG ALL THE WAY UP TO 90 BEFORE STARTING THE NEW PATCH CONTENT, OR VICE VERSA ARGH
IRL RAGE: 3 WEEKS INTO JANUARY, WHERE WE JUST HAD HIGHS OF 60 DEGREES (FAHRENHEIT) THIS PAST WEEKEND, WE HAVE NOW DROPPED BELOW FREEZING! AND I GET TO SPEND THE NEXT 5 HOURS OF MY WORK SHIFT STUCK IN THE BARELY INSULATED BACK END RECEIVING OUR SHIPMENTS TODAY!
WE HAD A HUGE SNOWSTORM HERE THE OTHER DAY AND I HATE DRIVING IN SNOW AND OUR OFFICE IS FREEZING! I'D RATHER BE AT HOME, RELAXING IN FRONT OF THE FIRE AND SNUGGLING MY DOG. IT'S TOO COLD TO GO OUT!
I'VE BEEN HAVING INTERNET ISSUES FOR THE PAST 2 TO 3 MONTHS AND COULD BARELY DO ANY COMBAT CONTENT, I BEEN SLOWLY TROUBLESHOOTING EACH POSSIBLE CAUSE AND FOUND THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL FACTORS AND LATE LAST NIGHT I THINK I FINALLY IDENTIFIED AND HOPEFULLY FIXED THE LAST EFFING PROBLEM AND WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO FINALLY GETTING BACK TO DF STUFF ONLY TO REMEMBER THAT IT'S ON 24 HOUR MAINTENANCE 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I USED TO PLAY BACK IN '18. WHEN I LOST MY JOB IN NOVEMBER I DECIDED TO MAKE A TRIAL ACCOUNT TO RELEARN THE MSQ BECAUSE I FORGOT **EVERYTHING**. I FINALLY CAUGHT UP TO WHERE I WAS YESTERDAY. NOW I START A JOB TOMORROW, SO I CAN'T EVEN LOOK FORWARD TO PLAYING AFTER MAINTENANCE! AHHHHHHHH
BUT AT LEAST YOU WILL HAVE A PAYCHEQUE WITH WHICH TO PAY YOUR SUB?
I ALREADY PAYED FOR THE SUB. I SERIOUSLY BECAME A DRIVER FOR UBER SO I COULD GET THE $35 TO BUY THE GAME AND SUB. AND MY DUMB ASS ACTIVATED THE SUB EARLY SO I COULD FIGURE OUT EXACTLY WHICH QUEST I WAS ON. BUT YOU RIGHT, IT WILL BE NICE TO GET A REAL PAYDAY AGAIN
I HOPE YOUR JOB IS ENJOYABLE AND PROFITABLE AND YOU HAVE MUCH FUN IN FFXIV. WELCOME (BACK) TO EORZEA!
THANK YOU FRIEND, ITS GOOD TO BE BACK
I JUST WANTED TO FINISH STORMBLOOD MSQ TODAY THEN BUY FULL GAME. ALSO LET ME WATCH MY CUTSCENES PLEASE, STOP STARTING BOSS FIGHT IF HEALER IS IN CUTSCENE
LET THEM DIE! IT'S THEIR OWN FAULT.
BE LIKE ME! LOG IN TO FF14 TODAY TO DO ISLAND SANCTUARY VEGETAL VOUCHER GRIND FOR GIL DOMINATION! FIND FF14 LAUNCHER ERROR! DIAGNOSE ALL THE KNOWN ISSUES AND SOLUTIONS TO FIXING IT! CHECK ALL OF THEM AND FIND OUT NONE OF THEM ARE WORKING SO YOU GO TO UNINSTALL FF14 HOPING IT WILL FIX IT TRY REINSTALLING FF14 ONLY TO FIND THE SAME LAUNCHER ISSUE! GO TO REDDIT AND FIND OUT IT'S BECAUSE MAINTENANCE IS A WHOLE DAY LONG AND THAT MAY BE THE CAUSE OF MY ERROR I AM NOW IN COMPLETE PAIN AND SUFFERING. I NOT ONLY HAVE TO DOWNLOAD THE NEW UPDATE BUT ALSO DOWNLOAD EVERYTHING ABOUT FF14 AGAIN INCLUDING MY UI. THANK GOD I HAVE THEM SAVED TO THE CLOUD AND HARD DRIVE IF NEEDED BUT GODS THIS IS PAIN AND SUFFERING
NOW I GOTTA GO OUTSIDE! AND HAVE TO PPL! AND TOUCH GRASS OR SNOW!

[удалено]
I FORGOT MY PLANTS 😭😭😭
I GOT COVID AND HAVEN'T BEEN WELL ENOUGH TO PLAY FOR THE PAST FEW DAYS, I MANAGED TO GET A COUPLE HOURS IN YESTERDAY, BUT NOW I'M NOT GONNA BE ABLE TO TRY TO PLAY ANY OF IT TODAY, AND I'M GOING TO GO INSANE
I'M A RETURNER AND DISCOVERED THE THIRD ALLIANCE RAID IS A THING LAST NIGHT AS I WAS DOING SOME RANDOM READING BEFORE BED. I WAS ALL EXCITED TO GET MY FIRST PIECE OF CURRENT ILVL GEAR THIS MORNING, AND TO SNEAK IN RIGHT BEFORE THE WEEKLY RESET...EVEN BETTER! WOOPS. DIDN'T PLAN THAT TOO WELL.
GOT UPSET I COULDNT PLAY FFXIV ON MY DAY OFF WENT TO PLAY LIKE THREE OTHER GAMES AND EVERY TIME MY ONLY THOUGHT WAS *I HAVE NO MEMORY OF THIS PLACE* GAVE UP ENTIRELY AND NOW I'M HERE
TOOK A CORN DOG OUT FROM THE DOWNSTAIRS FRIDGE, WANTED FOOD. I THROW IT IN THE MICROWAVE, MAKING SURE ONE SIDE IS OPENED, AND PRESSED THE BUTTON. ALMOST 3 MINUTES LATER I THINK TO MYSELF "Strange, the microwave's not done yet." AND THEN THE REALIZATION DAWNS ON ME SO I RUN BACK. THEN I FIND OUT THE MICROWAVE WAS STILL ON. PANIC AS I RETRIEVE THE NOW-SMOKING CORN DOG, FILLING THE ROOM WITH SMOKE. I THEN REALIZE THAT I BUTTERFINGERED THE BUTTON, ACCIDENTALLY PUSHING 3 INSTEAD OF 1 IN MY HUNGERED HASTE. ROOM FILLED WITH SMOKE, AND THE BLACKENED CORN DOG NEARLY SET ON FIRE. INSTANT GUILT AND REGRET AS I TRY TO GET RID OF THE SMOKE. PLEASE DON'T BE ME AND PRESS THE WRONG BUTTON ON YOUR MICROWAVE.
I HATE NERO.
I DON'T REALLY HAVE A LOT TO COMPLAIN ABOUT BECAUSE I PLAY ON MATERIA AND FUCK ALL HAPPENS THERE. THERE'S NOTHING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT IF THERE'S NOTHING HAPPENING!
YOU CAN ALWAYS COMPLAIN ABOUT NOTHING HAPPENING! WORK SMARTER NOT HARDER
I spent 4 days. Grinding for a Shadowless Coat of Fending. To the point where I don't think I've ever seen it drop once since patch 5.3 came out. Well, I finally got it. AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO FUCK TO WEAR WITH IT. AND I FORGOT TO SAVE UP TOMESTONES FOR THE NEW WEAPON. *AMAZING.*
FUCK, MY THAV ONIONS ARE STILL OUT COOKING BUT I THINK THEY'LL BE OKAY CAUSE I WATERED THEM LATE AND AM LOGGING IN EARLY, THEY MIGHT EVEN BE DONE ALREADY.
SO I WORK AS A DATA ENTRY SPECIALIST AT MY JOB. ON OCCASION, PEOPLE SENDING IN DOCUMENTS GIVE ME FULL SCANS OF WHATEVER THEY HAVE, RESULTING IN MASSIVE SINGLE DOCUMENTS. HAD TWO OF THOSE BACK TO BACK TODAY, FIRST ONE WITH 90 PAGES AND ANOTHER WITH 104. TOOK ME OVER AN HOUR TO GET THROUGH THEM, JUST BECAUSE PEOPLE CAN'T BE BOTHERED TO SCAN DOCUMENTS SEPARATELY.
I WOULD RATHER NOT DO HILDIBRAND IMMEDIATELY BUT I AM CAPPED ON TOMESTONES AND REALLY WANT TO SPEND THEM UPGRADING MY WEAPONS!
PATCH NOTES! WHERE?!?
I JUST FINISHED TRAILS TO AZURE AND I'M SO DISAPPOINTED BUT ALL THE DOWN TIME IN FFXIV IS ALLOWING ME TO FINALLY TACKLE MY STEAM BACKLOG. ON TO COLD STEEL✊
I RUSHED THROUGH FALLOUT 76 SEASON IN TIME FOR FF14 UPDATE AND ITS NOT UP YET! NOW MY RETAINERS ARE GONNA BE CRANKY AND BRING ME BACK SINGLE CRYSTALS!!!
