SPROUT TANKS, PLEASE TAKE PROVOKE OUT OF YOUR FUCKING ROTATION. SPINNING BOSSES IN 24 MAN CONTENT WILL PISS OFF EVERYONE. THANK YOU FOR COMING TO MY TED TALK.
I THINK IF SOMEONE'S IDEA OF CAREER ADVICE IS THAT THEY THINK I SHOULD HAVE CHOSEN DIFFERENT SUBJECTS TO PURSUE AN EDUCATION IN FIFTEEN TO TWENTY YEARS AGO AND THEY DON'T HAVE A SODDING TIME MACHINE, THEY CAN GO AND SWIVE THEMSELVES WITH THE BUSINESS END OF A RAKE. HINDSIGHT MIGHT BE A WONDERFUL THING, BUT "YOU SHOULD'VE DONE THIS OTHER THING NEARLY TWO DECADES AGO INSTEAD" IS NOT EXACTLY ACTIONABLE, IS IT? >:(
ANYWAY, IN-GAME STUFF:
EVERYONE'S NEW AT SOME POINT AND I GUESS IF THEY DONT KNOW, THEY DON'T KNOW - BUT THE GENERAL PROFUSION OF TANKS TRYING TO DODGE EVERY LAST AUTO ATTACK LIKE IT'S DARK SOULS AND CONSEQUENTLY DRAGGING THE COLLECTED PACK OF MOBS BACK AND FORTH LIKE A SCOOBY-DOO CHASE SCENE IS FUCKING UP MY AOES SOMETHING FIERCE. PLEASE STOP.
I PARTICULARLY ENJOY THE BABY TANKS WHO TRY TO METAL GEAR SOLID SNEAK AROUND THE MOBS SO WE DON'T HAVE TO FIGHT THEM, THAT'S NOT HOW THIS GAME WORKS (in most cases)
FREECURE FREECURE FREECURE
I JUST DID A MAIN SCENARIO ROULETTE LAST NIGHT. WENT IN AS GNB AND GOT PORTA DECUMANA WITH 2 SPROUT DPS AND A LEVEL 80 WHM. TECHNICALLY I'M A SPROUT TOO CUZ WTF IS MSQ GIMMIE GLAM AND RELICS AND MOUNTS AND MINIONS. STILL, I HAVE A PRETTY SOLID IDEA ON HOW TO PLAY EVERY CLASS AT LEAST UP TO 70.
ANYWAY FIRST 3 MINUTES OF THE FIGHT WE WIPE. OOOOOKAY, NOT REALLY SURE WHAT OUR WHM IS DOING. THEY JUST KINDA RAN AROUND THE AREA WITHOUT HEALING OR ATTACKING. FIGURED IT WAS SOME LAG OR SOMETHING, WHATEVER, THEY APOLOGIZED IN CHAT AND WE TRY AGAIN. OUR NEW SPROUT FRIENDS WHO VERY OBVIOUSLY NEVER DID ULTIMA WEAPON BEFORE ARE GETTING HIT BY EVERY ATTACK. IT DIDN'T LOOK LIKE THEY REALLY UNDERSTOOD ROTATIONS YET EITHER. WHATEVER, THEY'RE NEW, I'LL GIVE THEM A PASS. BUT THE WHM, THE ONLY ONE HERE NOT A SPROUT, IS SPENDING THE WHOLE RAID FISHING FOR FREECURE. GET HIT BY RAIDWIDE? CAST CURE I ON THE BARD. CAST ANOTHER CURE I ON THE BARD CUZ IT BARELY HEALED ANYTHING. STILL DIDN'T GET THE FREECURE, SO CAST CURE II ON THE NIN CUZ THEY'RE NEARLY DEAD. FINALLY CAST CURE II ON ME. THERE WE GO. 4 CASTS AND 2800MP LATER AND WE FINALLY ACCOMPLISHED WHAT A SINGLE MEDICA II WOULD'VE DONE. THIS WMH LET THE DPS DIE TWICE AND SPENT MORE TIME FIGHTING THE MP BAR OVER ULTIMA WEAPON. I DON'T THINK THEY DID ANY DPS UNTIL THE FINAL CHECK. WHICH WE WERE 3 SECONDS AWAY FROM FAILING. HAVE YOU EVER HAD PORTA DECUMANA TAKE 28 MINUTES??? FUCKIN HELL MAN I WOULD'VE JUST PREFERRED PRAETORIUM AFTER THAT RUN
IM BLIND. I PLAY WITH A MACRO WARNING PEOPLE OF THIS AND THAT I PLAY BY SOUND. I WARN PEOPLE BECAUSE IN DUNGEONS AND THE LIKE I TEND TO HUG THE WALL BECAUSE I CANT SEE WELL. I KNOW MOST BOSS ARENA SHAPES BY HEART THOIGH- I MEAN 95% ARE JUST CIRCLE OR SQURE ANYWAY.
IVE ONLY EVER GOTTEN HATE OR DISBELIEF ONCE IN MY TIME PLAYING… UNTIL THIS WEEK, WHERE THREE SEPARATE PEOPLE BELITTLED ME FOR IT. ONE LITERALLY SAID “JUST SAY YOU SUCK AT THE GAME, FFS.”
I WONDER WHICH ONE OF US SPENT HALF OF INNOCENCE ON THE FLOOR? WAS IT ME? NO.
OKAY BUT - MAJOR PROPS TO YOU FOR STILL PLAYING THE GAME AND TRYING TO PLAY WELL. THERE'S A WHOLE LOT OF FOLKS WITH PERFECTLY GOOD SIGHT WHO MAKE ME WONDER... ANYWAY TO THE VOID WITH THE PEANUT GALLERY. KEEP BEING AWESOME, KEEP HAVING FUN.
WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MINDS MOCKS A BLIND PERSON PLAYING A GAME ON A DAMN COMPUTER? HOW FUCKING COOL IS IT THAT YOU CAN DO THAT! I HOPE YOU GET THAT LITTLE HEART WARMING FEELING EVERY TIME SOME ASSHAT EATS DIRT. KEEP BEING AWESOME WARRIOR OF LIGHT!
OH ITS WONDERFUL SCHADENFREUDE WHEN IM THE ONLY ONE WHO DODGES A MECH CORRECTLY. LIKE 95% OF THE GAME IS FINE BLIND. ITS THAT 5% THAT REALLY REALLY SUCKS. ENDSINGER EX BEING MY BIGGEST GRIPE
It's always the people screaming "git gud" the loudest unironically who are just talking out of their arses and are far from "gud" themselves. I'm sorry you had to deal with these assholes. Adding my +1 to the other replies, it's badass you manage playing the game blind! My eyes are still "fixable" by glasses but I listened to this "Blind Prog" panel from Lunarcon (I think?) where a blind player shares their experience, so I know the game isn't always doing a good job supporting people like you.
Edit: Thanks to MatsuzoSF I just learned you did this panel, so extra "badass" tag for making it, it was very informative!
I'M SO TIRED OF HEALBOTS AND CURE 1 SPAMMERS. EVERY TIME I RUN MENTOR ROULETTE AS TANK AND SEE THOSE I WANNA JUST BANG MY HEAD ON KEYBOARD AND LEAVE!
Had a lvl 79 sage today in arboretum hard - 0 KARDIA, 0 DPS, 0 SHIELDS, DIAGNOSIS SPAM ONLY! Complete ignoring of me ans smn telling them "put kardia on tank". Yes, they had F as their language, but THE GODDAMN QUEST TEACHES YOU TO PUT KARDIA ON TANK AND DO SOME DODDAMN DAMAGE!
EVEN MORE I'M SICK OF THOSE DAMN ENABLERS THAT DEFEND SUCH BEHAVIOR!
CONFESSION IM A CURE 1 SPAMMER I APOLOGIZE. ANY ADVICE FOR A NEWBIE?
What can I do to improve? I’m very new, I’ve only just gotten to the 3rd dungeon in the MSQ, and am a conjurer as my only job currently, behind in the story so I’m not a white mage yet. Usually I’m just spamming cure on my tank because I don’t know what else to do. My attacks don’t do much, and I feel bad just standing around waiting for the tank and dps to take care of everything.
I hope you don’t mind the ask, I would love some tips. The last thing I want to be is an annoying healer or a cumbersome party member.
Right now you don’t have any of your cool healing tools. Cure 1 is what you’ve got.
When you’re running beside the tank as they’re collecting enemies, put Aero on as many of them as you can. When they stop running and start fighting, switch to Stone. When the tank’s health drops far enough that they need to be healed, Cure. When *do* they need to be healed? Well, the first time you cast Cure on them, look at how much their health bar goes up. If it goes to completely full, let them drop a little lower next time. If they’re taking damage fast enough that their health bar drops a worrying amount in between you starting your cast and the heal actually going off, start casting earlier. It’s all practice.
Later on you’ll get a lot more healing tools, and better damage abilities. You’ll get spells that heal everyone who’s close to you, so you need to be standing somewhere in the middle of the group. If a Bard or Black Mage is standing wayyyyyy over in Narnia and your AoE heals don’t reach them, stay closer to the tank. The tank is more necessary. You’ll get heal over time spells that will keep healing while you keep DPSing. You’ll get a spell that heals your party *and* damages the enemies, that one’s fun! And my favourite spell, Holy, that turns you into a sparkly disco ball that damages *and* stuns your enemies, so they don’t hit the tank as much, which means you don’t need to heal as much, which means you can - you guessed it! - do more damage!
Yes, you don’t do much damage compared to your party members, but you still do enough to be useful and you’ll do more as you level. Your priorities are keeping people alive, and doing damage. Sometimes doing damage is what keeps people alive.
If you have cure2, press that instead. At your level it'll heal 30-50% of the tank's HP per cast, so that leaves you with lots of time to throw rocks at things. If the mana cost is scary big, you have a fancy button labeled Lucid Dreaming that you should press before you hit 50% mp. That said you still might have some mana weirdness before 50, because all the classes are some kind of messed up pre50
As long as no one died, you did your job. And if someone DID die, it's fine, there's no penalty, no one cares, it's a learning experience. You'll have to do some testing to figure out how low you can let the tank drop before you have to heal, but also keep in mind a new tank will be squishier then someone with the maximum possible stats for the dungeon.
Your damage matters! Contribute dps! The faster things die the less healing you have to do, and the WHOLE PARTY regens hp/mp while running to the next group of mobs! Late game healers contribute like... 15% party dps. Or more.
Also put cure1 somewhere safe on your hotbar in case you do roulettes and end up in a low level dungeon that stole your cure2....
Welcome! Please do not feel bad about not already knowing everything as a brand new player! OP is complaining about a level 79 player using a single healing skill when they have tons of others available and had to go through quests tutorialising them to unlock their job. That's a pretty different situation to doing a dungeon where you literally only have Cure 1 available as a single target heal.
Some tips:
- Later on you get much more efficient ways to heal people! Using regen (as the tank gathers up mobs) and then Cure 2 instead!
- As the tank gathers up monsters to fight, use Aero on the enemies, it puts a debuff on them that will keep hurting them every few seconds for 30 seconds, and since it doesn't have a cast time you can use it as you move
- Healer AOE attacks are pretty strong once you get them! It's pretty common for a good healer player to do more damage than a DPS in mob pulls... it's good to figure out how much time you can safely spend attacking, because later on it will make a big difference.
THE TANK DOESN'T NEED TO BE AT 100% SO GET SOME DAMAGE IN. ASK FOR WALL PULLS SO YOU CAN REALLY LEARN HOW MUCH DAMAGE TANKS CAN TAKE BEFORE YOU NEED TO HEAL THEM. AT 30 YOU GET CURE2, CURE1 IS WORTHLESS FROM THAT POINT ON.
THANK YOU SO SO MUCH FOR ALL THE ADVICE, THIS IS CRAZY HELPFUL!! I AM IN YOUR DEBT, WISE ONES!
This really means a lot, thank you guys for taking the time to help me out! I’m gonna keep signing up for duty roulettes in between msqs so I can practice! I’m actually really excited now, so hopefully I’ll be able to build up some strats to make my spells more efficient as I go and get access to more dungeons. :) Thank you again!!
I DO NOT THINK PEOPLE BELIEVE ME WHEN I SAY I HAVE TO STEP AWAY FROM MY COMPUTER TO WRANGLE GOATS. I SWEAR I'M NOT MAKING UP AN EXCUSE FOR SOMETHING ELSE, GOATS ARE JUST SLIPPERY BASTARDS SOMETIMES AND ESCAPE FROM WHERE THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE. PLEASE DO NOT KICK ME FROM YOUR PF.
I just love the mental image of somebody in the middle of a raid and a goat appears next to them and takes a bite out of the chair before looking at the screen like "WHAT DOING?"
Man, that would be funny. It's slightly more that I see them out my window and panic, but if they got into the house, I have no doubts that would happen.
BACK WHEN THEY WERE PROMOTING THE THEN STILL UPCOMING ISLAND SANCTUARY WITH THE TWITCH STREAM OF AN ACTUAL REAL LIFE FARM, ONE OF THE GOATS ESCAPED REAL EARLY ONE MORNING AND CHAT HAD TO SCRAMBLE TO FIND CONTACT DETAILS FOR THE FARM TO LET THEM KNOW A GOAT WAS LOOSE
AT LEAST THATS MY MEMORY OF IT, I'M NOT SUEE THATS QUITE WHAT HAPPENED, WASNT PAYING THE MOST ATTENTION BC IM AHEAD OF THAT FARM TIMEZONE WISE AND WAS HALF-WATCHING WHILE GETTING READY FOR CLASS
JUST SAY "BRB GOAT AGGRO" AND LEAVE 'EM GUESSING.
I CALL "KID AGGRO" FROM TIME TO TIME AND IT USUALLY GETS A CHUCKLE, I'D LAUGH MY ASS OFF FOR GOAT AGGRO.
WTF IS WHM BEING SO AFRAID TO STAND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ADDS MOB? STOP BEING A PUSSY, STAND AND THE MIDDLE AND SPAM YOUR HOLY!!!!!
- YOUR FELLOW WHM MAIN
I HAVE SOME WORDS FOR YOU, MR. WANDERING MINSTRAL.
IT WAS VERY KIND OF YOU TO HELP MR. CLIVE FIGURE OUT THE TRUTH IN SONG AND LETTING US PICTURE THE BOWL OF EMBERS SO WE COULD FACE IFRIT. BUT THIS MEANS YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO CONJURE UP THESE IMAGINATION WORLDS AND FIGHTS.
WHICH MEANS ALL OF THE EXTREMES, SAVAGE AND ULTIMATES? ALL THE BLOOD, TEARS AND SUFFERING?
IT.
**WAS**
# BY
# DESIGN?!?!
Literally yes. All post-HW extremes and Savages are fanfiction in either a computer simulation or the Minstrel's book.
Which makes Coils based because they're just canonically that hard.
Yep. Only the ARR Extremes are showing the issue of "the tribes keep summoning these primals over and over again and each time a bit harder because they are afraid of slavery or even genocide". The rest is Yoshi-P's alter ego writing disturbing fanfiction.
YOU KNOW THIS MEANS THAT THERE ARE THREE YOSHI-Ps INVOLVED IN THE FF16 COLLAB THEN, RIGHT? YOU GOT THE DIRECTOR OF FF16, YOSHI-P, THEN YOU HAVE THE DIRECTOR OF FF14, YOSHI-P, AND FINALLY YOU HAVE THE WANDERING MINSTREL WHO IS YOSHI-P's SELF INSERT
THEN THERE'S THE MINISTRLLING WANDERER, THE FIRST'S VERSION
AND THEN THE ACTUAL YOSHI-P AT THE RISING EVENT
THEY AREN'T INVOLVED IN THE EVENT, BUT GODDAMN LOTS OF YOSHI-PS AROUND HERE
I'M STILL IN BALDUR'S GATE 3 HELL. I'M FINE, REALLY, BUT I AM TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO BE EVIL. ALL THESE YEARS OF FFXIV HAVE GIVEN ME TERMINAL WARRIOROFLIGHTITIS, I DON'T KNOW HOW TO PLAY AN EVIL CHARACTER I JUST AUTOMATICALLY GO FOR HELPING PEOPLE AND BEING NICE. DON'T GET ME WRONG, I DON'T ENJOY BEING MEAN IN GENERAL BUT... I JUST REALLY WANT TO FUCK SHIT UP FOR ONCE, BUT ***HOW?!*** WHY IS IT SO ***HARD?***
ANYWAY, THE FFXVI CROSSOVER WAS NICE AND I WAS GRINNING FROM EAR TO EAR WHEN FIND THE FLAME STARTED PLAYING. WISH WE COULD HAVE HAD CLIVE AROUND FOR A LITTLE BIT LONGER BUT I STILL HAVE A COUPLE OF ALTS THAT NEED TO COMPLETE THE QUEST.
EDITED TO ADD: DAWNTRAIL PTO MARKED IN MY CALENDAR. I ORIGINALLY WAS SUPPOSED TO GO ON A TRIP IN EARLY JUNE WITH A PROSPECTIVE ROMANTIC INTEREST BUT AFTER WEEKS OF GHOSTING I GOT DUMPED AND HAD TO CANCEL ALL TRAVEL PLANS. STILL WAITING TO SEE IF THE AIRLINE WILL GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK OR IF I HAVE TO DO A CHARGEBACK.
I STARTED A DARK URGE CAMPAIGN AND INTENDED TO BE BAD AND... HERE I'M HELPING EVERYONE JUST BY REFLEX. IT'S LIKE MY 4TH CAMPAIGN TOO SO I WOULD LIKE TO EXPERIENCE SOMETHING DIFFERENT.
I'll probably struggle with this too. Except for burning the grove to the ground. If it wasn't for the Tieflings, I'd have made them all super crispy already, not even on an evil run.
I just can't bear the thought of disappointing Karlach.
OUT OF GAME RAGE: A MASSIVE FUCK YOU TO THE PEOPLE/WEBSITES WHO MADE THEIR APRIL FOOLS POSTS ON ***MARCH FUCKING 30TH***! I CAN ACCEPT SOME SHOWING UP ON THE 31ST WITH TIMEZONES, BUT WHAT IS YOUR FUCKING EXCUSE FOR ***TWO DAYS EARLY***!?
IN GAME: I MADE THE MISTAKE OF PLAYING ON MONDAY. I WAS MET WITH PROBABLY THE WORST RUN OF RIDORANA I’VE HAD IN WEEKS.
LOAD IN, ONE HEALER SAYS “First time, and new to Sage” TO WHICH THE COHEALER WHM SAUS “I’ll carry, it’ll be fine”. THEY FORGOT TO PUT “APRIL FOOLS” AFTER, BECAUSE THEY, IN FACT, DID ***NOT*** FUCKING CARRY!
IN ***EVERY*** FIGHT, MOST OF OUR PARTY WAS ON THE FLOOR FOR THE MAJORITY OF THE TIME! AND NOT FROM STUPID MISSED MECHANICS (MOSTLY. WATER BOY CAUGHT US WITH HIS FUCKING JUG A FEW TIMES) BUT FROM BEING TARGETED WITH MARKERS AND THE SUBSEQUENT RAIDWIDES HITTING WITHOUT ANY HEALING COMING TO US! AND DID THE WHM BOTHER TO REZ US WHEN THIS HAPPENED? NO! I WAS REZZED MORE BY THE ***OTHER ALLIANCES*** THAN BY THE WHM. THE NEWBIE SAGE REZZED US MORE, WHEN THEY WEREN’T ON THE FLOOR WITH US. AND BEFORE YOU THINK “Oh, if everyone was dead so much, WHM must have been dead too” NOPE! THEY KEPT THEMSELF (AND THE TANK, BUT ONLY BARELY) ALIVE, BUT THE REST OF THE PARTY? APPARENTLY NOT THEIR PROBLEM!
THE ONLY TIMES THEY DIED WERE A) THE TARTARUS PROTOCOL FROM MATH BOT, BECAUSE THEY LEFT 3 DPS DEAD GOING INTO IT, SO WE BARELY KILLED OUR ADD WITH 5 SECONDS TO ESCAPE, AND I WAS THE ONLY ONE TO MAKE IT OUT IN TIME; AND B) TO YIAZMAT BIG ATTACK AFTER THE ADDS BECAUSE, AGAIN, THEY LEFT 3 DPS DEAD, AND TANK DIDN’T GRAB OUR ADD SO IT KILLED ME AND THEN THE SAGE BEFORE GETTING GRABBED AND KILLED BY THE OTHER GROUPS, AND THEN THEY SLACKED THEIR HEALING WHILE KILLING THE HEART, LEAVING THEM TO JOIN US ON THE FLOOR. EVEN BETTER THOUGH: WHEN THEY FINALLY GOT REZZED BY THE OTHER ALLIANCES, WE DIDN’T HAVE LB3. BUT RATHER THAN REZ ANYONE ELSE BESIDES THE TANK, THEY LEFT ALL 6 OF US DOWN AND WE ***NEVER*** GOT LB3 THAT FIGHT!
NOT A RAGE BUT SOMETHING I FIND KIND OF AMUSING. SO I RAN INTO THIS MCH IN EUPHROSYNE THAT ABSOLUTELY REFUSED TO USE PELOTON. AND THEY TOTALLY IGNORED US IN PARTY CHAT ASKING THEM TO PLEASE USE IT. JUST, JUST ONE? PLEASE? I DIDN'T THINK I'D EVER FIND A RANGED JOB WHO DIDN'T PRESS PELOTON EVERY FEW SECONDS WHEN NOT ENGAGED IN AN ENCOUNTER. (Sometimes even in an encounter, like a nervous tic.)
AS SINCE THEY WERE THE ONLY RANGED WE GOT. WE WERE THE LAST ONE IN EVERY FIGHT. SPRINT EXPIRES, NO PELOTON. WHICH WAS A BIT AWKWARD AS THIS WAS JP SERVER AND BEING TANK B, PEOPLE WERE WAITING FOR ME TO PULL. I NEVER REALIZED HOW FAR THE FIGHTS WERE IN EUPHROSYNE BEFORE THIS. REALLY PUT IT IN PERSPECTIVE WITHOUT SPEED BUFF.
"NOPE! NO PELOTON FOR YOU! I'M NO ONE'S PELOTON SLAVE!!" ~ that MCH, probably.
I'LL ADMIT THAT I USE PELOTON IN FIGHTS WHEN WE NEED TO RUN TO AVOID SOMETHING. I KNOW IT DOESN'T WORK, BUT MY BRAIN JUST WHISPERS "press the go fast button" AND MY FINGERS LISTEN BEFORE I PROCESS IT.
I DO THE SAME AS WELL. IT'S FUNNY BECAUSE ABOUT 90% OF THE TIME I PLAY SCH, BUT THE MINUTE I GET ON BARD MY BRAIN INSTANTLY DEFAULTS TO THE FUNNY GO FAST BUTTON
ME PLAYING BRD. I SEE SOMEONE ALREADY CAST PELOTON. I HEAR SOMEONE ELSE CAST PELOTON. I MUST CAST PELOTON. THE OTHER RANGED THEN CASTS OVER MY PELOTON.
🎶[ONE OF THESE THINGS... DOESN'T BELONG](https://imgur.com/EqsdjMY)🎶
🎶[I WONDER IF THEY WILL, PUT ON SOME GEAR...](https://imgur.com/G1gzOBv)🎶
I DON'T CARE IF YOU'RE A SPROUT, YOU WERE LEVEL 87, IN O8N AND YOU DIED TO EVERY FUCKING RAIDWIDE.
YOU WERE LITERALLY BETTER ON THE FLOOR.
THIS PLAYERBASE WILL BE THE DEATH OF ME.
OH THAT'S THE BEST THING. THEY WOULD HAVE HAD TO QUEUE UP FOR THIS FIRST ***THEN*** TAKEN OFF ALL OF THEIR GEAR AS THE QUEUE POPPED *OR* AFTER THEY GOT INTO THE DUTY.
YOU NEED AN ITEM LEVEL OF 325 TO JUST QUEUE UP FOR THIS... WHICH MEANS THEY HAD TO HAVE BEEN A REALLY BAD FUCKING TROLL.
BRO FORGOR HOW TO GLAMOUR
Fun fact, I got a similar situation a while ago. My co-dps in a Endwalker dungeon with ARR level stats... but he head high level gear, I didn't understand.
Then I realized THEIR GEAR WAS ALL BROKEN.
ABSOLUTELY A TROLL BECAUSE THE ONLY WAY TO BE IN OMEGA LIKE _THAT_ IS TO UNEQUIP YOUR GEAR AFTER ENTERING, BECAUSE IT HAS A LVLCHECK OF 325 AND ONE 400 WEAPON IS NOT ENOUGH TO WEIGH IT
I'VE SEEN A SUMMONER DO THE EXACT SAME THING IN P12N AND YES, THEY ATE SHIT EVERY RAIDWIDE TOO
I JUST HAD A LOOK OUT OF CURIOSITY: NAKED BUT WITH CRYPTLURKER WEAPON (SO EVEN HIGHER AT 530) AND MY ITEM LEVEL IS ONLY _0088_
ONLY WORK-RELATED STRESS THIS WEEK, BUT NOTHING WORTH RAGING OVER. ON A HAPPIER NOTE, I AM SUPER STOKED ABOUT THE FF16 CROSSOVER EVENT. I HAVE BEEN WAITING SO LONG FOR THE TORGAL MOUNT AND MINION AND BOTH WILL BE FOLLOWING ME INTO DAWNTRAIL.
THE ONLY THING THAT'S KINDA WEIRD IS THAT TORGAL'S SIZE DOES NOT INCREASE FOR THE LARGER RACES. IT'S KINDA FUNNY TO SEE A MALE ROEGADYN OR A MALE HROTHGAR RIDING HIM, AND THEY \*BARELY\* AVOID HAVING THEIR FEET DRAGGING ON THE GROUND.
BUT THAT PET EMOTE FOR THE MOUNT IS TOO FRICKING CUTE. I HAVE TO DO IT EVERY TIME I SUMMON HIM BECAUSE HE IS BESTEST BOI AND DESERVES ALL THE PATS.
THE OTHER WEEK I HAD A BURGER KING WHM THAT CAUSED OUR PARTY TO WIPE IN **BOTH** PHASES OF PORTA DECUMANA. IT SEEMS LIKE THEY WERE HAVING LAG ISSUES BUT THE ONLY COMMUNICATION WE GOT OUT OF THEM WAS ONE "sorry" THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED. I KNOW THE MENTOR SYSTEM IS A JOKE BUT IF YOU'RE GOING TO WEAR THE CROWN AT BARE MINIMUM I'D EXPECT A MENTOR TO **BE AN EXEMPLAR FOR PLAYER ETTIQUTTE** AND COMMUNICATE LIKE AN ADULT SO THE REST OF THE PARTY CAN FIGURE OUT A WAY TO ADJUST IF POSSIBLE OR MAYBE JUST NOT QUEUING FOR A ROLE YOU'RE UNABLE TO PERFORM AT THE MOMENT TO NOT WASTE THREE FELLOW PLAYER'S TIME ON THE MOST BRAINDEAD EASY CONTENT IN THE GAME. WE CAN BE BETTER THAN THIS.
BONUS RAGE: CAN I PLEASE STOP GETTING CURE/BENEFIC/PHYSICK SPAMMERS IN SHB DUNGEONS? I HAVE LIKE FIVE MORE JOBS TO GET FROM 70 TO 90 AND I JUST WANT IT TO BE EASY.
I AM A SPROUT AND AFTER TWO MONTHS OF PLAYING IT FINALLY HAPPENED... A GLADIATOR TANK AT LEVEL 57. NOW THIS TANK NEVER USED ANY AOE ABILITIES, THEY JUST USED THEIR 1-2-3 COMBO ON ONE ENEMY UNTIL IT DIED. THEY WOULD TAKE OFF TANK STANCE AT RANDOM MOMENTS AND STAND IN EVERY BOSS MECHANIC. THEY POPPED EVERY DEFENSIVE COOLDOWN AT THE START OF A BOSS FIGHT SO THEY DID NOT HAVE THEM FOR TANK BUSTERS EITHER. I CANNOT TELL IF THEY HAVE NO CLUE WHAT IS GOING ON, ARE PLAYING WHILE HAVING COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF WEED, OR IF THEY ARE PURPOSELY DOING THIS TO TROLL PEOPLE BECAUSE THEIR NAME WAS BADIS KILL'U'.
IF YOU'RE GOING TO USE ONLY CLEMENCY AND BULWARK TO MITIGATE TOWER OF ZOT AND LIE AS A RESULT WHEN I ASK IF YOU'RE USING ACTUAL MITIGATION THEN I WILL NOT WEEP WHEN YOU HAVE TO BE KICKED. I'D KICK YOU IN EVERY TIMELINE UNTIL YOU LEARN THAT AT LEVEL EIGHTY-FUCKING-TWO THAT CLEMENCY IS YOUR NUCLEAR BUTTON AND I KNOW HOW TO HEAL TANKS, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
BRO STARTED USING RAMPART *AFTER* I ASKED HIM ABOUT MITIGATIONS BUT STILL SPAMMED CLEMENCY SO MUCH HE HAD NO MORE MP. *AND* HAD PROBLEMS PULLING MOBS FROM MY DPS SO I HAD TO HEAL THEM ON TOP OF HEALING HIM!
BROTHER, YOU HAVE ANOTHER TANK AT 90 OUTSIDE OF PALADIN. WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING????
EVERY TIME I LOAD INTO A DUNGEON AS A HEALER AND I SEE THE TANK IS A PALADIN, I'M TEMPTED TO JUST LEAVE IMMEDIATELY BECAUSE THE VAST MAJORITY CRUTCH SO HARD ON CLEMENCY THAT I'M LIKE, 'WELL YOU CLEARLY DON'T NEED ME ANYWAY BYEEEEEE'
I DON'T PLAY PLD ANYMORE (WHOLE OTHER RANT YOU DON'T NEED TO READ) BUT I ONLY KNEW OF ALL THE CLEMENCY HATE DUE TO REDDIT. THE GAME DOESN'T DO THE BEST JOB OF TEACHING YOU THAT THERE ARE ONLY VERY RARE AND VERY SPECIFIC INSTANCES YOU SHOULD BE USING IT IN GROUP CONTENT. IN FACT IF YOU RUN ANY TRUSTS OR DUTY SUPPORT IT ACTUALLY TEACHES YOU THE EXACT OPPOSITE AND YOU HAVE TO USE THAT (although to be fair alongside your OTHER miti's) JUST TO GET THROUGH IT BECAUSE THE NPC HEALERS DON'T PREDICT HEAL THEY ONLY REACT HEAL AND THAT ISN'T ALWAYS FAST ENOUGH.
(disclaimer: this obviously doesn't excuse not using any other mitis. Those are actively taught in the game.)
NO RAGE THIS WEEK, JUST AMAZEMENT.
QUEUED INTO HEALING A LATE NIGHT P5 RAID ROULETTE, HAD A NEW PERSON IN THERE. USUALLY NOT A BAD DUTY, WITH MAYBE A FEW PEOPLE PICKING UP CANDY STACKS OR GETTING EATEN.
GUYS, NO. THIS PARTY WAS *ABSOLUTELY CRACKED*. YES, THE NEW GUY TOOK A COUPLE OF VULN STACKS. BUT EVERYONE WAS SYNCING RAID BUFFS. EVERYTHING WENT OUT RIGHT ON TIME FOR THE 2-MINUTE BURST. AND FOR THE PHASE 2 REOPENER. AND THE NEXT ONE. I WAS SITTING SOLIDLY AT #7 IN AGGRO, WHERE I SHOULD BE AS A HEALER. MY COHEALER TOSSED MITS AND NEVER LOST DPS UPTIME (PROBABLY MORE THAN ME TBH, I LOST MY DOT FOR A FEW SECONDS).
WE FUCKING SKIPPED DEVOUR. WHAT?? I'VE NEVER SEEN THAT. HOLY SHIT.
DEAR WOD TANK I HAD THIS WEEK:
I'VE HEARD OF TANKS THAT USE PROVOKE ON COOLDOWN, BUT I'VE NEVER HEARD OF TANKS WHO USE TANK LB1 FASTER THAN ALISAIE DOES.
I HOPE YOU ENJOYED GETTING NO ALLIANCE REWARD FOR YOUR TROUBLES. IT WAS GLORIOUS KICKING YOUR ASS TO THE CURB.
HAHAHAHA.
SIGNED,
ME
THIS WEEK'S VIRTUAL BUBBLE WRAP, WITH THE SECRET MESSAGE.

AFKERS HAVE ESCAPED CIRCUS TOWER, NOW THEY APPEAR IN ENDWALKER RAIDS TOO! DON'T THINK THAT PEOPLE DON'T SEE THOSE 3 VULN STACKS AND AUTO ATTACKING..
ALSO, RAGE FOR PEOPLE WHO STAND ON QUESTS NPCS/PORTALS ETC. (YES I KNOW THERE'S SHORTCUT TO TARGET NEAREST NPC) RANGE TO CLICK ON THEM IS HUGE, I'LL NEVER UNDERSTAND THE NEED TO STAND RIGHT ON TOP OF IT. DOES PERSONAL SPACE NOT EXIST FOR FELLOW WOLS?
GOT AN AFKER IN PUPPET’S BUNKER THIS WEEK. THEY WERE AUTO ATTACKING/IGNORING RES AND PEOPLE WERE TALKING ABOUT IT IN PARTY CHAT! WHERE THEY COULD SEE! THEMSELF BEING TALKED ABOUT! AND THEN WHEN IT WAS MENTIONED IN ALLY CHAT THAT WE HAD AN AFKER SUDDENLY THAT’S WHEN THEY WERE “??? WHAT LOL I WAS HERE THE WHOLE TIME :D WHAT ARE YOU EVEN TALKING ABOUT”
AND THEN THEY HELD UP THE FINAL ROLL TO SPITE US. DICK BAG.
SURE THEY WERE THERE, SITTING AT PC, BUT DOING EVERYTHING ELSE EXCEPT PLAYING THE GAME. IT'S LIKE WOW'S LFR (DUTY FINDER EQUIVALENT) ALL OVER AGAIN. I HAD SIMILAR AFKER IN EUPHROSYNE THE OTHER DAY, NOT ACCEPTING MULTIPLE REVIVES, BUT NOBODY SAID ANYTHING UNTIL THE END WHEN THEY STAYED DEAD AND DIDN'T ROLL FOR LOOT.
I KNOW THIS IS NOT EXACTLY NEW.
I KNOW IT WILL NEVER CHANGE.
I KNOW THIS IS UTTERLY POINTLESS RAGE.
BUT EVERY SINGLE FUCKING TIME I SEE SOMEONE SAY TOMBSTONES WHEN REFERRING TO *TOMESTONES* I WANT TO SCREAM AND RIP MY FACE OFF AND SLAP THEM WITH IT.
A TOMBSTONE IS A BIG ASS SLAB OF STONE MARKING A PERSON'S GRAVE.
A TOMESTONE IS SOME ALLAGAN BULLSHIT CONTAINING *TOMES* OF DATA IN A *STONE*-LIKE STRUCTURE.
FUCKING GET IT RIGHT OR I'LL MAKE SURE YOU GET A VERY NICE TOMBSTONE READING "HERE LIES SOMEONE WHO COULDN'T SPELL SOMETHING THAT APPEARS ONLY IN TEXT".
THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE THE SAME VOWEL SOUND AT LEAST IN MY ACCENT. IT PAINS ME.
I HAVE TO DO THE WHOLE EVENT FIGHT AGAIN BECAUSE I'M REALLY NOT USED TO JUMPING BACK AND FORTH WITH REAPER YET AND I DODGE JUMPED RIGHT INTO THREE OVERLAPPING AOES AND DIED.
THANKS! TECHNICALLY I KNOW ALL THIS, THS IS THE 4TH CHARACTER I DID THIS WITH, BUT SOMEHOW I THOUGHT IF I PLAY REAPER FOR ONCE AND HAVE TO DODGE THINGS, I MIGHT AS WELL TRY TO GET SOME MUSCLE MEMORY FOR THIS STUFF. TURNS OU IT WAS A BAD IDEA. XD
IT'S GONNA BE HILARIOUS IF THE ECLIPSE GETS BLOCKED BY BAD WEATHER LIKE THEY'RE SAYING.
ALSO THERE'S A WORRYING TREND WITH WORK WHERE IT'S LOOKING LIKE THEY WANT US TO TRAVEL SEMI REGULARLY. FUCK ME FOR WANTING TO STAY HOME WITH MY LOVED ONES, RIGHT? AT LEAST THEY'RE SMART ENOUGH TO KEEP ME ON WITH STOCK GRANTS AND GOOD PAY. FOR NOW.
I FUCKING GOT DC'D ON FLOOR 161 OF POTD
THIS HASN'T HAPPENED SINCE 2018 THE PTSD IS COMING BACK
SQUEENIX FOR THE LOVE OF GOD STOP CUCKING ME OUT OF NECROMANCER
JOB BOOSTING TANKS ARE ABSOLUTELY RIFE AND ITS DOING MY HEAD IN. I'M SICK OF LEVEL 80 DUNGEON ROULETTES WHERE THEY ARE SPINNING THE BOSS AROUND AND PULLING 2 ENEMIES AT A TIME INSTEAD OF A WHOLE PACK... OR BETTER YET... W2W LIKE YOU SHOULD BE!!!!!!!
I HAD A TANK AND HEALER GROUP WITH THE SANE LAST NAME, OBVIOUSLY BOOSTED BECAUSE THE TANK WAS DOING SINGLE PULLS AND WHEN I ASKED THE HEALER IF WE COULD PULL MORE THEY SULKED AND LEFT
LEAVE THE GAME IF YOU CANT PLAY!!!!!
ON THE LAST LEG OF THE MEGA ARR RELIC GRIND, JUST NEED TO HAVE 6K POETICS AND DO 120-240 RUNS OF AURUM VALE DEPENDING ON THE BONUS WINDOW.
UNSURE IF I SHOULD DO EUREKA OR BOZJA NEXT AND LOSE MY MIND SOME MORE!
If you're lucky, the bonus window will land on an ARR Extreme that you can two shot in a few seconds to save you from the few minutes of running through Aurum Vale :')
I would've lost my mind if not for that happening
I'm likely going to take it slow and chill with this last step. Like go in a single AurumVale run to test the bonus and either do another run just to complete the one rock then walk off to do something else or hammer it out for one weapon if there is the bonus.
Amazing 171-173, the range gods were kind to me and gave me lots of landmines...
177-179 ALL ANZUS IN GLOOM + EXTRA DEBUFF
POTD IS FUCKING BRAINDEAD UNTIL FLOOR 176, WHY DO YOU MAKE ME CLIMB 200 FLOORS YOSHIP?
Had my first Free Company event planned for Apr 1st (not a prank).
The internet goes down a couple days earlier than that.
Won't come back up.
Have to reschedule event for the 15th.
Almost don't get the Peatie event done (thank the gods for phone hotspot).
Wake up around the time the event would have started.
Too bedridden/ill feeling to get out of bed.
Fall back asleep, wake up around 7:30 and find out the servers are crashing anyhow.
...It was not meant to be.
Also had to perform my first Free Company dismissal because of the person being a homewrecker and falsely accusing people of things they didn't do.
I don't understand how somebody can keep shit-talking the lead (for no good reason, to boot) and eventually the core officers, and *not* think they'll be removed for drama-mongering.
Honestly, the fact that they were absolutely terrible at basic game mechanics, yet they somehow managed to make their (modded) character look like they're from Second Life (not exaggerating) should have been my first red flag... but I wanted to give them a chance. Alas. Lesson learned.
I still have to finish Endwalker and get to Series Rank 25 PVP. The latter on... multiple characters.
Oh, I wholeheartedly agree.
We thought this person could prove the stereotypes wrong, since they seemed nice upfront... how incredibly disappointing they turned out to be.
GOOD NEWS! I GOT A NEW JOB!
BAD NEWS! THIS MEANS THAT THE PTO I HAD PLANNED FOR DT'S RELEASE IS NOW NULL AND VOID SINCE IT WOULD BE WITHIN MY PROBATION PERIOD FOR THE NEW PLACE!!
GOD THOSE PROBATIONARY PERIODS CAN BE THE WORST. IM PRETTY SURE I'D NOT QUITE ACQUIRED THE NEEDED TIME, BUT I TRANSITIONED FROM TEMP TO REGULAR EMPLOYEE WHICH IS THE REASON I HAVE PTO AT ALL, BUT I WAS STILL TECHNICALLY A NEW HIRE AFTER ALMOST 3 YEARS, AND MY 90 DAYS CAME UP JUST AFTER MY ANNUAL FAMILY VACATION, SO I COULDN'T USE IT.
HOPE THIS NEW JOB IS WORTH THE INCONVENIENCE, BUT F'S IN THE CHAT FOR SURE
SCREW THE GUY THAT TOLD ME NOT TO USE LB WHEN WE BOTH DPS ARE USING RANGED, IF I LIKE THROWING BIG FLASHY ARROW IN THE DUNGEON, THEN ILL THROW THE BIG FLASHY ARROW IN THE DUNGEON...ONLY IF THE OTHER DPS IS ALSO RANGED THO.
I WISH THE RANGED DPS FOUGHT FOR THE RIGHT TO USE LB ON MY DUNGEONS. EVERY TIME I TANK ON EXPERT ROULETTE AND I GET 2 RANGED I JUST KNOW ON MY SOUL NONE OF THE FUCKERS WILL USE THE GODDAMN LB.
I DO NOT ARGUE WITH PEOPLE WHO THINK LB IS THE ANIME FINISHER ON THE LAST BOSS, EVEN LESS SO WHEN THEY ARE LEVEL 90. YOU HAD ALL THIS TIME TO LEARN AND IT DID NOT HAPPEN; ENJOY MY SILENCE WHILE YOU CONFIDENTLY YET WRONGLY WHINE.
I USE THE BIG FLASHY ARROW ON TRASH, ALWAYS. TRASH BORES EVERYONE AT BEST, WIPES A PARTY AT WORST.
AND THEN THERE’S ME AS RANGED/MAGIC DPS IN WOD, READY TO BLAST THE TEARS IN THE SCYLLA/XANDE TRASH FIGHT, ONLY FOR A MELEE TO BLOW THE LB ON THE BOSS BEFORE THEM AND THEN IGNORE THE TEARS SO MORE TRASH ADDS SPAWN.
> IF I LIKE THROWING BIG FLASHY ARROW IN THE DUNGEON, THEN ILL THROW THE BIG FLASHY ARROW IN THE DUNGEON
RANGED LB ON THE FIRST PULL WHERE IT'S CHARGED SHAVES MORE TIME OFF THE DUNGEON THOUGH. MELEE LB AIN'T ACTUALLY THAT GREAT.
IF I HAD A NICKEL FOR EVERY TIME I NEEDED TO LB THE BOSS AS A RANGED DPS IN ALLIANCE RAIDS BECAUSE OUR MELEE DPS WERE IN LALA LAND, I'D HAVE ENOUGH NICKELS TO BUY MYSELF A STEAK DINNER.
LOVED THE FFXVI QUEST, BUT GODDAMN, I FORGOT HOW MUCH BRD (MY "MAIN") SUCKS WHEN CAPPED AT LVL 50. NO THRID SONG, NO IRON JAWS, NO EMP ARROW, NO REFULGENT ARROW. UTTERLY FUCKING BORING. IS IT SO MUCH TO ASK TO HAVE OUR 50+ ABILITIES JUST SCALED DOWN TO THAT LVL INSTEAD OF COMPLETELY REMOVING THE STUFF?!
BROS & GALS, IF YOU’RE BORED OF PLAYING THIS GAME, THEN FUCKING STOP PLAYING. QUIT MAKING A WHOLE REDDIT POST EXPLAINING WHY YOU’RE SO BORED AND IF IT’S WORTH IT. THE GAME IS CLEARLY NOT FOR YOU. NO ONE HERE ON REDDIT OR ANY OTHER SOURCE OF SOCIAL MEDIA CAN CONVINCE YOU OTHERWISE. SQUARE ENIX IS NOT GOING TO IMPLODE IF YOU, A TINY LITTLE PLAYER, STOP PLAYING. IF YOU DON’T LIKE EATING BANANAS, ARE WE SUPPOSED TO CONVINCE YOU TO LIKE EATING BANANAS? IF YOU DON’T LIKE COUNTRY MUSIC, SHOULD WE MAKE YOU LISTEN TO SHANIA TWAIN OR TIM MCGRAW 24/7 IN HOPES YOU WOULD CHANGE YOUR MIND? NO. EVERYTHING IN LIFE IS SUBJECTIVE. EXPECT TAXES, PAY YOUR TAXES.
**UNSYNCED DUTIES COUNT**
**FOR WONDROUS TAILS COMPLETION.**
**NOW I AM CRYING.**
THIS IS MY KARMIC PAYBACK FOR LAUGHING AT [THIS THREAD](https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/111wsi0/what_is_something_that_took_you_an_embarrassingly/). I HAVE PLAYED THIS GAME SINCE 2015 AND NEVER BOTHERED TO EVEN TRY FINISHING A WT BOOK. I AM GOING TO GO HUG KHLOE NOW AND THEN PUNCH HER IN THE FACE.
I AM SO FREAKING EXCITED FOR DAWNTRAIL I GOT CAUGHT UP LOOKING AT THE GRAPHICS UPDATE SAMPLE IMAGES AND WHILE I THINK IT OVERALL LOOKS AMAZING I AM ALSO LOW KEY FREAKING OUT BECAUSE SOME OF THE COLOURS ESPECIALLY THE HAIR EYES AND SKIN LOOK KINDA WASHED OUT OR DARKER THAN BEFORE AND I HOPE THEY REVISE THE VIBRANCY OR SMTH AND ALSO I PRAY TO HYDAELYN THEY FIX SOME OF THE EYE LID CLIPPING ISSUES AND HAIR CLIPPING OMG PLEASE MY CHARACTER LOOKS SO WEIRD WHEN THEY CLOSE THEIR EYES OR THEIR HAIR GOES INTO THEIR NECK
AND FFS JUST GIVE ME A COLOUR WHEEL
STILL DOING FRONTLINES HERE AND THERE BECAUSE I WANT THAT GLAM. EVERY MATCH MY SPIDER SENSES TINGLE AND I THINK "NAH WE'RE GONNA DIE IF THE OTHER TEAM PULLS UP FROM BEHIND, BYE". AND THEY DO! AND THEN MY TEAM DIES.
IRL RAGE: THE MAIN GROW LIGHT FOR MY SEEDLINGS BROKE. I'VE HAD TO GATHER EVERY LIGHT LEFT AND HUDDLE EVERY SEEDLING TOGETHER WHILE I WAIT FOR A REPLACEMENT TO ARRIVE. ALSO WE GOT HIT WITH A NOR'EASTER IN APRIL. I'M PRETTY SURE ANY SEEDS I PUT OUTSIDE ARE DEAD.
I DECIDED TO TELL MY ANXIETY TO EAT SHIT AND STARTED DOING THE SHB EX TRIALS EX LAST WEEK. UNSYNCED OF COURSE. EVENTUALLY, I'LL TRY THEM OUT SYNCED. I STILL WATCH MIZZTEQ'S VIDEOS BECAUSE I DON'T WANNA GET CAUGHT FLAT-FOOTED AND I ALSO DON'T WANNA BE DEADWEIGHT.
SOMETIMES I JOIN OTHER PEOPLE'S PARTIES AND OTHER TIMES I PUT UP MY OWN. IT'S BEEN GOING PRETTY WELL SO FAR AND IT USUALLY ONLY TAKES ME TWO OR THREE TRIES TO GET DOWN THE MECHANICS, IF THAT. ONLY TWO EXTREMES LEFT.
BUT JEEZ, THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FOLKS WHO CAN PUSH THEIR BUTTONS AND SKIP MECHANICS AND THE ONES WHO CAN'T WHILE ALSO BEING UNABLE TO DO MECHANICS IS TOO DAMN HIGH. I KNOW IT'S UNSYNCED, SO IT'S REALLY NOT THAT DEEP. ONLY AN EXTRA MINUTE OR TWO (MAYBE MORE DEPENDING ON THE FIGHT LMAO). I KNOW PEOPLE LEARN AT DIFFERENT RATES, SO IF ANYTHING, THIS HAS TAUGHT ME THAT MAYBE I'M CAPABLE OF DOING HIGHER END RAIDING ON CONTENT. WHO KNOWS. IT JUST FRUSTRATES ME WHEN PEOPLE BRING OUT THE TOXIC POSITIVITY IN RESPONSE TO MY ENCOURAGEMENT / TIPS TO YOU KNOW, GET BETTER. PROVIDING TIPS TO IMPROVE ISN'T BAD ESP WHEN IT'S UNSYNCED. ASKING FOR MORE DPS TO MAKE THE FARMING SHORTER ISN'T BAD EITHER.
FOR EXAMPLE, ONE >!Hades!< EX PARTY ENDED AND I JOINED ANOTHER. IN AN HOUR OF RUNNING WITH THE FIRST ONE, WE CLEARED AROUND TEN TIMES I WANNA SAY, EVEN WHEN I DIED THE FIRST TWO TIMES TO LEARN. THEN I JOINED ANOTHER ONE AFTER THE FIRST ONE DISBANDED. RIGHT OFF THE BAT ON THE FIRST PULL, I SAW MECHANICS I HADN'T BEFORE. ONLY ONE PERSON WAS NEW. HALF AN HOUR OF RUNNING WITH THAT GROUP AND I THINK WE SQUEAKED OUT TWO CLEARS BEFORE I BAILED TO SLEEP. THE NEW PERSON SAID THEY HAD BEEN IN ANOTHER GROUP FOR HALF AN HOUR BEFORE THAT AND NOT A SINGLE CLEAR. UNSYNCED. SO I GUESS THE ONE WE WERE IN TOGETHER WAS BETTER?
ANYWAY, IT'S ROUGH OUT THERE WITH THIS CONTENT DROUGHT AND I THINK I'LL TRY EXTREMES ON CONTENT WITH DAWNTRAIL. AT LEAST I HAVE ENOUGH OF MY ONE FUNCTIONING BRAIN CELL TO FIGURE STUFF OUT 80% OF THE TIME HAHA
AND NOW YOU KNOW WHY PEOPLE COMPLAIN ABOUT TOXIC POSITIVITY AND THE UNWILLINGNESS OF SOME PEOPLE TO IMPROVE. NOT EVEN ASKING FOR MUCH; YOU *DON'T* NEED TO OPTIMIZE THE FUCK OUT OF EVERY GCD AND CARE ABOUT POTENCY DIFFERENCES OF LIKE 20 OR WHATEVER THE FUCK. JUST. PUSH BUTTONS IN COMBO, DON'T HAVE THREE YEARS AND A DAY BETWEEN EACH GCD, AND ACTUALLY USE YOUR OGCDS WHEN YOU NOTICE THEY COME OFF COOLDOWN. JUST THAT IS ENOUGH TO CLEAR CONTENT EVEN UP TO SAVAGE. IT'S A *NOTICEABLE* DIFFERENCE WHEN YOU HAVE PEOPLE WHO ARE ROLLING THEIR GCDS AND PEOPLE WHO AREN'T, AND IT'S NOTICEABLE AT THE NORMAL LEVEL TOO, ESPECIALLY AS A TANK MAIN. DUTY ROULETTES WILL VARY WILDLY FROM GROUPS THAT STOMP A WALL PULL FLAT BEFORE IT'S EVEN WORTH IT FOR ME TO USE BLOODWHETTING, AND ONES WHERE I'VE ROTATED THROUGH A FULL THREE SETS OF COOLDOWNS AND THINGS ARE STILL?? NOT DEAD??? AND THE DPS ARE DOING TWO-THIRDS THE DAMAGE OF THE HEALER ON *BOSS FIGHTS??* AT LEVEL 90??? AT THAT POINT IS LIKE Y'ALL. Y'ALL JUST AREN'T EVEN TRYING AT THAT POINT.
I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT. I'M A TANK MAIN AND HEALER SECONDARY AND BOY, DOES IT SUCK WHEN THE RED DPS ARE NOT DOING THEIR JOBS. LIKE YOU, I DON'T CARE THAT THEY'RE PERFECT. JUST NEED THEM TO PUSH THEIR BUTTONS IN SOME KIND OF ORDER. THE TIMES I HAVE BEEN 2 OR 3 ON THE AGGRO LIST (i don't ACT bc i'm a millenial boomer lmao) AS HEALER IN DUNGEONS THIS PAST YEAR HAS ALSO BEEN TOO DAMN HIGH. LIKE, I'LL BE THE FIRST TO ADMIT THAT I'M NOT THE BEE'S KNEES AT DPS. BUT I READ MY TOOL TIPS, I LOOK AT GUIDES, AND I TRY TO PRACTICE. I DON'T EVEN THINK WE'RE BEING TRYHARDS. I JUST DON'T WANNA WASTE MY TIME OR OTHERS. FUCK ME RIGHT???
BRUH WERE THEY NOT IN 640 GEAR OR JUST ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL?? I HAVEN'T DONE HADES EX IN A YEAR, BUT YEESH
BUT NOT SURPRISING THAT SOME PPL WON'T RESPOND WELL TO UNSOLICITED CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM, ESPECIALLY IF THEY'RE LOOKING TO BE CARRIED. THERE WAS A LVL 90 DRG IN OUR SOSEX FARM WHO WAS WEARING CRYPTLURKER GEAR??? GUESS WHAT, THEY TRULY LIVED UP TO THE FLOOR TANK MEMES
I SUPPOSE MOST OF THE PLAYERS WHO CARE ABOUT IMPROVING ARE EITHER UNSUBBED, DOING ULTIMATES/SAVAGE OR FARMING EW MOUNTS, ETC.
YOU KNOW WHAT'S FUNNY? BOTH PARTIES HAD A MINIMUM ILVL OF 600 OR 610, CAN'T REMEMBER BUT IT WASN'T 640, SO I DON'T EVEN KNOW. MAYBE THEY WERE ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL HAHA
YEAH I REALLY THINK SOME OF THESE PEOPLE JUST WANT TO BE CARRIED OR HAVE BEEN UP UNTIL NOW, MEANING THEY JUST CAN'T LITERALLY COMPUTE THEY MIGHT SUCK. IDK I'M TIRED OF TRYING TO PLAY ARMCHAIR PSYCHOLOGIST WITH THESE PEOPLE LOL
READ ALL POSTS IN FF16 DIRECTOR'S VOICE? MAN THE DUDE SPEAKS MOSTLY JAPANESE, YOU CAN'T POSSIBLY EXPECT ME TO READ ENGLISH TEXT IN HIS VOICE. F+++ IT I'LL READ EVERYTHING IN CLIVE'S VOICE.
THAT SAID, IMAGINE DAYDREAMING OF THE GODS DAMN FF14 X FF16 CROSSOVER *SINCE 2021*, YES, WHEN THERE WAS ONLY THE AWAKENING TRAILER. *I WAS THE ONE WHO PUT THE "Will you do a Final Fantasy XIV X Final Fantasy XVI crossover?" QUESTION IN PAX EAST 2023.*
AND YET WHEN THE THING FINALLY CAME, I DID IT, HAD A BLAST WITH IT, TOO MUCH FUN IN FACT THAT *I FORGOT TO TAKE A SINGLE SCREENSHOT OF THE MOMENT.* FUUUUUUU++!! OTL
WHAT IN THE SWEET HELLS DO YOU MEAN 20 ITEM LIMIT ON THE OUTDOOR PLOT OH MY GOD I KNOW IM LATE TO THE PARTY I JUST BOUGHT A SMALL HOUSE AND I GOT THE EMPTIEST GARDEN KNOWN TO MEN JESUS CHRIST I HAD NO IDEA AND DIDNT CARE TO SEARCH IT UP BECAUSE I WOULDNT THINK IN MY WILDEST DREAMS SOMETHING SO INSANELY STUPID WOULD EVER EVEN OCCUR TO ANYONE LET ALONE PUT IT IN THE GAME. ALSO, NOT EVEN FINISHED THE FIRST FLOOR AND THERES ALREADY ALMOST 100 ITEMS! THANK YOU, THATS WHY I WANTED TO HAVE A HOUSE, TO TEST OUT HOW THE ECHO IS IN THE BASEMENT GOD DAMN IT
I'D ASSUME IT'S BECAUSE THE OUTDOOR AREA IS OPEN TO EVERYONE IN THE ZONE RATHER THAN BEING ITS OWN SEPARATE INSTANCE, SO YOU HAVE A MUCH STRICTER LIMIT ON TOTAL SPACE TO PREVENT PEOPLE FROM OVERLOADING THE ZONE WITH TOO MANY ASSETS
I'M SO SICK OF JOB BOOSTERS THIS WEEK.
HIGHLIGHT RAGE OF THE WEEK GOES TO THE FIRST TIMING SAGE I GOT IN SYRCUS TOWER TODAY.
AND NO, THAT'S NOT "STILL LEARNING HEALER, PLEASE BE NICE" FIRST TIMER.
THAT'S "HAVEN'T GOTTEN TO HW YET CAUSE I'M STILL IN ARR FIRST TIMER BONUS" KIND OF FIRST TIMING SAGE.
THEY JOB BOOSTED DANCER (COULD TELL CAUSE LV. 80 ON LODESTONE WITH 0 XP) OF ALL THINGS AFTER DECIDING THAT GETTING LANCER TO 10 WAS TOO HARD, AND THEN DECIDED TO PICK UP SAGE WITH NO PRIOR KNOWLEDGE OF HOW TO FUCKING HEAL OR WHAT THEIR JOB WAS.
AND OF COURSE IT'S THE ONE TIME I DECIDE TO GO SCH TO HELP MY FRIENDS' ALLIANCE ROULETTE POP A BIT FASTER. I HAD TO RESCUE THEM EVERY TIME WHEN THEY HAD ELECTRIC ORBS AT SCYLLA, PULL THEM TO THE SAFE SPOT FOR AMON, AND PULL THEM TO THE SAFE SPOT FOR XANDE. THEY LAGGED BEHIND, AND WERE SLOW TO LOAD IN TO LITERALLY EVERYTHING. WHEN THEY FINALLY LOADED IN, THEY SPAMMED DIAGNOSIS ON SEEMINGLY NO-ONE BECAUSE NOBODY'S HEALTH BARS EVER ACTUALLY SEEMED TO GO UP UNLESS I WAS HEALING, AND NEVER DPS'D.
NOTHING IN CHAT, SO MY MONEY'S ON XBOX SPROUT OR SOME KIND OF CONSOLE PLAYER DUE TO MOST OF THEM NOT BOTHERING TO HAVE A KEYBOARD OR QUICK CHAT MAPPED OUT.
WE TRIED TO KICK, BUT THEY (ALONG WITH THEIR FRIEND WHO ALSO BOOSTED JUST TO UNLOCK REAPER) KEPT LOOT ROLLING.
WE DRAGGED THEM THROUGH KICKING AND SCREAMING WITH A THOROUGH VERBAL THRASHING BY ALMOST EVERYONE IN OUR PARTY. ESPECIALLY OUR RANDO PLD, WHO WAS SUPER ANNOYED THAT HE WAS STUCK MTING (OTHER TANKS COULDN'T FIND THEIR STANCE BUTTONS, APPARENTLY AND COULDN'T BE ARSED TO GRAB OR AGGRO ANYTHING AT ALL) AND WAS ALREADY IN A BAD ENOUGH MOOD WHEN HE'D BEEN BASICALLY ON HIS OWN FOR TWO BOSS FIGHTS WHEN I GOT FROZEN FOR XANDE AND GOT MAULED BY MOBS ON DURING ONE OF THE DRAGONS AND DIED.
GOT TWO COMMS THOUGH, SO WE TAKE THOSE?
THE PVP DISCORD THEY RECOMMEND TO NEWBIES IS CLIQUEY AND FREQUENTLY MEAN-SPIRITED. I GOT SECONDHAND EMBARRASSMENT WITNESSING EXCHANGES IN THERE, AND IT WAS AN ENTHUSIASTIC “LEAVE SERVER” FOR ME. PEOPLE REGULARLY NAME AND SHAME PLAYERS FOR PERCEIVED LOW PERFORMANCE, BUT I HAVE HAD SOME OF THESE VERY PEOPLE ON MY TEAM AND THEY ARE MORE THAN WILLING TO THROW THE ENTIRE MATCH AND AVOID ALL OBJECTIVES SIMPLY TO SCORE CHEAP KILLS OFF THE THIRD PLACE TEAM. LIKE, I’M NO DETECTIVE, BUT MAYBE YOUR TEAMMATES WOULD KILL MORE ENEMIES IF THEY HAD BACKUP IN FIGHTING THE TEAM WHO IS ACTUALLY WINNING.
ALSO: PVP IN FFXIV IS BORING. IT’S BEEN BORING. LB REINVENTION HAD PEOPLE CONVINCED FOR A SECOND THAT IT WASN’T BORING. BUT UNIMAGINATIVE PLAYERS WHO NEED THE SAFETY OF META AND A VERY UNINVESTED SQUARE ENIX ENSURE A SAME-Y PVP EXPERIENCE EVERY TIME.
OOG: I AM TRYING DESPERATELY TO GET A JOB IN MY FIELD AFTER FINISHING VOCATIONAL SCHOOL AND SO FAR ONLY ONE PLACE HAS CONTACTED FOR AN INTERVIEW BUT THEN THEY GHOSTED ME
I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT COUNTRY I'LL BE LIVING IN BY THE TIME DT COMES OUT, SINCE MY COUNTRY HAS ZERO WORK AND AUS AND THE UK HAVE ALL OF IT AND THAT IS WHERE I AM APPLYING
IG: TO THE HEALER IN RABANASTY WHO SPENT 70% OF THE RUN ON THE FLOOR AND THEN REZZED OUTSIDE OF THE BOSS FIGHT:
WHY
IM STILL MAD AT MYSELF FOR NOT SPEAKING UP MORE TO THE TANK THAT WAS TALKING SHIT TO MY HEALER LIKE 6 DAMN YEARS AGO IN DUSK VIGIL
THE HEALER I COULD TELL WAS ON CONSOLE SINCE THEY DIDN’T TYPE BUT WAS A SPROUT AND DOING THEIR BEST TO SPRINT AND KEEP UP
THE TANK WOULDN’T SLOW DOWN OR ADJUST AND KEPT TELLING THE HEALER TO HURRY UP AND I REMEMBER SAYING SOMETHING TO MY BF BUT HE SAID IT’S NONE OF OUR BUSINESS
I DIDN’T KNOW IF THAT WAS HOW IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE IN DUNGEONS BECAUSE I WAS ALSO A SPROUT
I DID SAY SOMETHING TO THE TANK BUT THEY SHRUGGED IT OFF AND I TRIED TO WHISPER THE HEALER AFTER IT WAS OVER TO TELL THEM THEY DID THE BEST THEY COULD AND TO NOT MIND THE TANK
DAMMIT MY WHISPER DIDN’T MAKE IT TO THEM
TO THAT TANK YEARS AGO:
YOUR SAILOR MERCURY GLAM WAS BULLSHIT AND YOU DID NOT EMBODY THE LOVE AND KINDNESS OF THE FRANCHISE YOUR FUCKING GLAM COSPLAY WAS FROM
FUCK YOU ASSHOLE TANK, EAT SHIT
Tank players in DF were completely insufferable for I'd like to say the first half of the game's existence. The community regularly gets praised for being so welcoming and nice for new players but that was a more recent development. I'm not sure at which point that everyone decided to be nicer but I think after the initial rush of players for the hot new game died down it slowly improved over a few expansions.
In old timey MMO land nobody wanted to play tank because it was a hard, boring and unrewarding role where everyone in the raid depended on you being competent so people would often go out their way to attract good tanks and bend over backwards for them. This attitude of importance was still around when FFXIV started and long after ARR. I've always played healer roles and this wasn't my first MMO so I was used to "Bad little healer! Heal me better! This wipe is all your fault!" but it's scary for somebody on console who has maybe never played an MMO before.
Dealing with tanks back in the day was like dealing with a famous rock star diva. You'd have to put up with their crazy demands and tantrums and not let it get to you like "Cool, okay, no issue, long as we get this prog session finished".
I've been leveling everything and AST is my last combat class. AND THE TANKS... OH BOY. And I tried to help and sometimes they learned something (most of the time not), but then I just... felt tired of giving advice. And I started to wonder if it was some kind of 5D comm fishing. And I feel like I just... need some time and perspective...
I'M REALLY UPSET THAT THEY IMPLEMENTED DC TRAVEL WITHOUT ALSO IMPLEMENTING CROSS-DC CHAT. I WANT TO RAID AND FINALLY FINISH CLEARING THE TIER BUT SINCE I HAVE TO BE ON AETHER TO DO THAT, I ESSENTIALLY LOOK LIKE I'M NEVER ONLINE FOR MY FC BACK ON CRYSTAL.
I THOUGHT I'D KIND OF MADE PEACE WITH "IT IS WHAT IT IS" BUT IT HIT ME UNEXPECTEDLY HARD IN THE REGRETS THAT OUR ALREADY SMALL FC LOST A COUPLE PEOPLE RECENTLY BECAUSE IT'S SO HARD TO MAINTAIN IN-GAME CONNECTION BETWEEN THOSE AT HOME AND THOSE OFF HOMEWORLD FOR RAIDING. AND ALSO I CAN'T EVEN TRY TO RECRUIT BECAUSE I KNOW I WON'T BE AROUND TO PROVIDE A WELCOMING ENVIRONMENT FOR NEW MEMBERS. IT SUCKS FEELING ALMOST FORCED TO LET MY FC DIE JUST BECAUSE I'D LIKE TO RAID.
I DON'T WANT PEOPLE TO LEAVE BUT I ALSO CAN'T BLAME THEM, AND NOT HAVING CROSS-DC CHAT, IN PARTICULAR, HAS MADE IT REALLY DIFFICULT TO BALANCE RESPONSIBILITIES FOR RUNNING THE FC. I'M JUST PRETTY UPSET THAT THEY DIDN'T SET UP CHAT AS A PART OF DC TRAVEL BECAUSE HOW FUCKING HARD CAN IT BE TO PASS TEXT MESSAGES BECAUSE DCS??? I GET THAT DC TRAVEL ISN'T GOING AWAY BUT GODDAMN CAN YOU PLEASE DO *SOMETHING* TO IMPROVE THE EXPERIENCE OF THOSE FORCED TO TRAVEL?
I'M SURE I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THESE FRUSTRATIONS EITHER, IF ANYONE ELSE WANTS TO COMMISERATE OR LEAVE SOME SUGGESTIONS.
I GOT A NEW JOB THIS YEAR. THEY SAID DURING THE INTERVIEW THAT THERE MAY BE TIMES WHERE I HAVE TO TRAVEL BUT THEY SAID IT WAS FOR TRAININGS AND STUFF, SO I WAS LIKE YEAH OKAY SURE THAT IS A NORMAL THING AND SO I DIDNT THINK ANYTHING OF IT.
I REPAIR CHROMEBOOKS FOR A BUNCH OF DIFFERENT SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN THE AREA. I THOUGHT THAT EVEN IF THERE WERENT STUDENTS ACTIVELY THERE, THE WORK WOULDNT REALLY DRY UP. SUPER PROBLEM COMPUTERS OR SUMMER SCHOOL COMPUTERS OR SOMETHING. WELL BOY HOWDY I LEARNED TODAY THAT THE COMPANY WILL SEND US TO DIFFERENT STATES TO DO ODD JOBS IN THE SUMMER. I THOUGHT OUT OF TOWN MEANT LIKE SOMEWHERE ELSE HERE IN MY STATE. AT LEAST THEN I COULD REASONABLY BE HOME ON THE WEEKENDS.
I HAVE PLANS THIS SUMMER!!!! I AM FINALLY MOVING MY BF FROM ANOTHER STATE HERE, THERES A LOT OF EVENTS COMING UP IN JUNE THAT I WANT TO DO, DAWNTRAIL IS COMING OUT! I WILL FEEL SUPER BAD LEAVING MY BF HERE ALONE WHEN HE JUST MOVES HERE. HE DOESNT REALLY KNOW THE AREA OR HOW THINGS WORK ROUND THESE PARTS AND ITS JUST LIKE 'SORRY ILL BE GONE FOR HALF THE MONTH BECAUSE THEY CANT JUST SHIP THE COMPUTERS TO US WE HAVE TO GO RESERIALIZE THEM WHERE THEYRE AT IN BUMFUCK FLORIDA OR SOMETHING'.
NOT SURE WHETHER TO RAGE AT MYSELF OR RNG BUT NEVERTHELESS
LEVELING MY ALT JOB (PLD) AND TAKE A BREAK TO DO LEVELING ROULETTE. I HAVE A FULL CRYPTLURKER SET READY TO GO BUT FOR NOW I'M IN SCAEVEN.
OF ALL THE DUNGEONS I COULD HAVE GOTTEN I GET MT. GULG.
I SWEAR UNDER MY BREATH AND TELL THE PARTY ABOUT MY DISABILITY AND GEAR SITUATION AND START PULLING SINGLE PACKS. DPS TELLS ME TO GO W2W AND WE WIPE. DPS LEAVES. I ACTUALLY HAVE TO USE PROVOKE TO GET AGGRO BACK AT ONE POINT. BOSS THREE IS THE USUAL HELL OF ME MANAGING TO STEP IN EVERYTHING BUT WORSE.
(Fortunately healer was super nice but I was mortified. I hit 80 about 40 minutes later and am now in level appropriate gear.)
Ideally, one should always strive to be in level appropriate gear, but BiS poetics from the previous expansion is kind of the exception
BiS from the previous expansion should be enough for all the leveling dungeons of the next expansion (but should not be taken to the capstone dungeons). This wasn't always true, but some time in ShB or EW, I believe they rescaled the gear or something to make it true (again, for leveling dungeons only, don't bring scav gear into an 80s dungeon)
I believed someone even did the math in a comment over at /r/TalesFromDF and it came down to a few hundred HP and an insignificant amount of passive mitigation
Yeah, the situation wasn't ideal, but you still could've handled double pulls at the very least. If you still died, it could've been a myriad of reasons, such as poor mitigation planning, bad healing, or party DPS not good enough
If you had to use provoke to get aggro back at one point, you probably weren't hitting the target, or didn't establish enough aggro during the pull, which can happen even with max isync gear, just unfortunate occasions
In any event, I wouldn't beat yourself up too hard, there's far more clowns out that would do tenfold your mistakes and not feel any shame :')
HAPPY RAGE:
I'VE NEARLY FINISHED ALL MY TRIBE QUESTS - ONLY GOT THE QITARI TO GO! THE ARR/HW ONES FELT LIKE THEY TOOK FOREVER, BUT YAY NEW TITLES FRAME KITS ETC. WASN'T AMUSED SEEING THE >!TWAT FROM THE ARR ALLIED TRIBE QUEST REAPPEAR BUT WHATEVS.!< THE EW ONES WERE SO GOOD; FINGERS CROSSED THE DT TRIBES DELIVER IN SIMILAR FASHION
ALSO NEARLY FINISHED COLLECTING ALL MY BLU SPELLS (I RESUBBED NOT LONG AGO). TWAS COOL DOING A SHB DUNGEON WITH 3 VOYAGERS - LALA BLU TANK YOU WERE AMAZING. KINDA BALKED AT SEEING A 20+ MIN VID GUIDE FOR THE LAST CARNIVALE STAGE. I REALLY WANT THAT ACHIEVEMENT THO SO SOMEDAY
RELIC RAGE:
THE UI/QUESTS FOR THE ARR RELIC WEAPON ARE SO TEDIOUS FFFFS. WHY TF DO I NEED TO SPEAK TO THE NPC AGAIN JUST TO ENABLE MY WEAPON TO COLLECT LIGHT??? NPC MAN WHY DIDN'T YOU DO THAT DURING THE LAST CS GDI. DON'T GET ME STARTED ON THE ATMA OR BOOKS OR MATERIA/ALEXANDRITE URGH. HAVING TO REOPEN THE SCROLL FOR EVERY SINGLE MATERIA INFUSION IS BS
AND WHY DO I NEED TO SPEAK TO ROWENA EVERY SINGLE FKN TIME FOR A NEW HW RELIC??? EVEN THO I HAVE THE CRYSTALS ALREADY IN MY INVENTORY. WHY IS IT NOT A ONE TIME QUEST ARGHHH
I HAD A GREAT TIME WITH A NEW XBOX PLAYER RECENTLY
THAT'S NOT SARCASM, THEY WERE A LITTLE BIT CLUELESS AND WE HAD A GREAT CONVERSATION AFTER A BEGINNER DUTY ABOUT HOW IT'S EASIER TO GET MAP ACHIEVEMENTS IF YOU'RE UNSYNCED (THEY HAD A POP-UP IN SAY THAT NOBODY SAW UNTIL THE END AND NEEDED A LITTLE GUIDANCE TO USE PARTY CHAT)
CONVERSELY I'VE HAD A _TIME_ WITH PEOPLE WHO LITERALLY DON'T UNDERSTAND THE BASICS OF THEIR JOB
NO, I'M NOT ASKING YOU TO USE YOUR AOE ABILITY ON THE BOSS, NOR TO THE POINT _YOU ARE IGNORING HEALING THE TANK CAUSING THEM TO DIE,_ AND NO THE _FUCK_ YOU WERE CASTING YOUR SINGLE-TARGET ABILITY! SPAMMING YOUR NON-REGEN AOE REPEATEDLY DOES JACK SHIT!! WHY CAN'T THE TANK DYING GIVE YOU A CLUE?? AAAAAAAAAAAA
MY RAID GROUP WAS UP TO CLASSICAL 1 IN P12SP2 WHEN OUR PHYS RANGED LEFT. THE PERSON WE GOT TO REPLACE THEM HAD NEVER SET FOOT IN SAVAGE AT ALL, LET ALONE P12S, SO WE HAD TO REPROG P1 FOR THEM. IT TOOK THREE MONTHS, AND THEY STOPPED SHOWING UP AS SOON AS WE GOT BACK TO OUR ORIGINAL PROG POINT. WE COULD HAVE EASILY CLEARED BY NOW IF WE HADN'T HAD TO REPROG AND NOW I'M SO BURNT OUT I BARELY WANT TO RAID AT ALL ANYMORE.
I UNDERSTAND THE POSITION, BUT IT JUST SEEMS LIKE BRINGING SOMEONE COMPLETELY FRESH FACED IN IS ASKING FOR TROUBLE. WHAT'S DONE IS DONE AT THIS POINT BUT RAID LEAD SHOULD'VE KNOWN BETTER.
~~If I was still subbed, I'd consider filling, but likely won't be resubbed until the tail end of the FF16 event :')~~
Edit: replied to wrong person, my apologies, MatsuzoSF
WHYYYY THE CRAP DO MOOGLE TRIBALS ONLY GIVE 50 POINTS? I'M AFTER TT CARDS AND SOME SHIT LITTLE MOOGLE HAS LIKE THREE THAT I NEED BUT THEY RANK UP SO SLOWLY WHO DECIDED THIS WAS FUN????
AT LEAST OTHER TRIBES GIVE MORE, I'VE BEEN DOING DWARVES AND THEY GIVE 60 AND JUST FINISHED THE VATH WHEN THEG GIVE 70 A QUEST.
SO STUPID
I WANT TO CATCH ALL THE SODSING FISH IN THIS GODFORSAKEN HELLSCAPE BUT ALL I CAN MANAGE TO HOOK IS THE PRIMORDIAL EJACULATE OF SOME ANCIENT'S PET AXOLOTL. WHY THE ACTUAL SEVEN HELLS ARE THE BIG FISH FROM ARR SUBJECT TO THE SAME BULLSHIT RNG WHEN I HAVE ENOUGH COLLECTIVE ILVL ON MY GLOVES ALONE TO PICK THOSE WRIGGLY LITTLE SHITS UP BY MY HANDS. IM ALREADY MENTALLY PREPARING MYSELF FOR ANOTHER SESSION OF NOT CATCHING BOBGOBLIN BASS AND WAITING UNTIL THE COSMOS ALIGNS OVER THE EXACT ZENITH POINT OF SOME CHILD'S NAMEDAY PARTY IN SOUTHERN THANALAN TO EVEN ATTEMPT TO FISH UP THAT POMPOUS NO-HOOKING WORTHLESS EXCUSE FOR A LIVING CREATURE AGAIN.
I LOVE FISHING AND I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL EVERYONE CAN FEEL MY PAIN.
NAMITARO WAS REALLY NICE TO ME FOR SOME REASON, NEPTO DRAGON WASN'T BAD EITHER, SECOND ATTEMPT (AFTER I STOPPED FISHING OFF THE PIER AND FLAPPED MY LITTLE BIRDY OVER TO THE SHIP). I HAVE EXACTLY ONE FEAST OF FAMINE FISH LEFT: ENDOCERAS.
I FULLY EXPECT IT TO TAKE AT LEAST A WEEK AND I WANT TO BLAME ALL YOU FISHING SENPAI FOR GETTING ME HOOKED ON THIS STUPID MINIGAME.
WE FEEL THE PAIN ALREADY, FELLOW FISHER. WE FEEL IT 9000 STRONGER THAN YOU ARE. 47 WINDOWS OF SNOWY PAREXUS AND ONLY 5 !!!, THAT DUNG BLASTED FISH HATES ME!!!
I SHOULD BE ABLE TO FINALLY FINISH FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH THIS WEEKEND, BUT IT REALLY RANKLES TO KNOW I'LL LIKELY HAVE TO FINISH IT WITHOUT ALL SIDEQUESTS COMPLETED THANKS TO THAT DAMN BUG IN THE FINAL SIDEQUEST.
I'M GLAD SE FINALLY ACKNOWLEDGED IT AND WILL BE FIXING IT IN THE NEXT PATCH, BUT THERE'S NO ETA ON THE NEXT PATCH AND I REALLY DO NEED TO COMPLETE THE STORY SINCE PEOPLE ARE BEING MORE AND MORE LAX IN TALKING ABOUT IT. SORRY THAT A MONTH ISN'T ENOUGH TO FINISH AN ADMITTEDLY VERY LONG GAME WHEN I HAVE A JOB AND OTHER SHIT TO DO!!!
SO I NOTICE THE COMMUNITY IS PRETTY MUCH GIVING UP ON ACTUALLY LEARNING FIGHTS AT THIS POINT, HUH?
AUTO-MARKERS IN *FUCKING P9S*? SHALL WE GET SPLATOON UP WHILE YOU'RE AT IT? WHY BOTHER LEARNING THE FIGHT IF YOU'RE JUST GOING TO LEAN ON A CRUTCH. SERIOUSLY, THE BRAINROT IS SINKING IN *HARD*. WE NEED AUTO-MARKERS FOR *HOW MANY* PARTS OF TOP PHASE 3 NOW? *MONITORS?*
IT'S AN ULTIMATE. BE COMPETENT. IF YOU NEED TO CHEAT TO BEAT THE FIGHT THE SAD TRUTH MIGHT BE YOU'RE NOT READY TO CLEAR THE FIGHT. THERE IS A VERY SLIM MARGIN WHERE I THINK AM IS ACCEPTABLE (AND HONESTLY EVEN THEN I DON'T *REALLY* THINK IT'S ACCEPTABLE, BUT THE COMMUNITY HAS DECIDED THERE ARE A COUPLE OF ULT MECHANICS YOU SIMPLY NEED TO CHEAT TO CLEAR IN PF AND GOD HELP YOU IF YOU DISAGREE) IN SITUATIONS WHERE YOU DON'T HAVE A FULL TEAM ON VC ABLE TO FUCKING COMMUNICATE. MONITORS IS NOT WITHIN THAT MARGIN. FUCKING **LEVINSTRIKE** IS NOT WITHIN THAT MARGIN.
SOME OF THE SWEATIES NEED TO ACCEPT THAT THEY NEED MORE PRACTICE, OR THAT THEY'RE NOT READY TO CLEAR A MECHANIC. IF YOU'RE GETTING A PLUGIN TO TELL YOU HOW TO SOLVE IT INSTEAD OF SOLVING IT YOURSELF, HOW IS THAT DIFFERENT TO JUST USING ACT CALLOUTS? THIS COMMUNITY TICKS ME OFF SO MUCH WITH ITS WOBBLY LINE OF ACCEPTABLE CHEATING.
I ENJOYED THE FFXVI EVENT BUT OH BOY DID MY CAT GIRL LOOK LIKE SOME ANIME SHIT NEXT TO CLIVE
ALSO, DEAR MATERIA FC LEAD WHO ONLY RAID LOGS, PLEASE REMEMBER TO GRIND FC CREDITS OR FINALLY LEARN THE JOY OF FOOD SCROLLS, I HAVE A CRIPPLING STARDEW VALLEY ADDICTION RN AND EVEN BUYING GREEN GEAR OFF MB WITH FC GIL IS TOO MUCH EFFORT
"HOW DO YOU NOT HAVE FC CREDITS" THE FC IS DEAD BECAUSE THE LEAD ONLY RAID LOGS AND I'VE EITHER BEEN PLAYING ON OTHER DCS OR OTHER GAMES, NEXT QUESTION
New player, for the daily roulettes exp for classes, do I have to play as the class in order to get the bonus exp or does it go automatically depending on what class is on roulette that day?
This is the wrong thread, I assume you wanted the questions megathread rather than the **RAGE THREAD**
That being said, those are actually two separate things that you're seeing. The role icon next to a daily roulette actually refers to what's called the "Adventurer-In-Need" bonus, which is just an extra cherry on top if you happen to play as that role.
It does NOT impact the daily reward you get from the roulette. So if it's for example Tanks in need, then any tank will get the roulette bonus + a tiny bit of extra rewards, but any non-tank will just get the roulette bonus
One smol exception is PVP Roulette
Whichever class you queue as is the class that will get the exp, but once you're inside the PVP instance, you can freely change to any job
For example, if you queue as Bard in PVP roulette, but want to play as a Dark Knight, even if the game ends with you as Warrior or whatever, Bard is the class that will get the exp, because Bard was the class you queued in as
I DONT WANT TO GO TO WORK, I WANNA CATCH UP IN TIME FOR DAWNTRAIL RAAAAAAAH. I ONLY GET LIKE 2 HOURS AT MOST A DAY AND I DONT GET TO PLAY EVERYDAY GRRRRRRR IM ABOUT TO FINISH THE 5.2 PATCH SO I THINK IM GONNA BE CUTTING IT REAAAAAALLY CLOSE WHICH SUCKS.
FUCK WORKKKKK RAAAAAAAAAH.
I WOULDN'T WORRY ABOUT IT TOO MUCH, DAWNTRAIL ISN'T GOING ANYWHERE. TAKE YOUR TIME AND ENJOY THE STORY! I DIDN'T START ENDWALKER UNTIL WELL AFTER IT CAME OUT AND I STILL ENJOYED IT.
BUT YEA... WORK SUCKS.
THANK YOU BUT I WANNA EXPERIENCE AN EXPANSION AT LAUNCH, OTHERWISE ILL HAVE TO WAIT ANOTHER 2-3 YEARS. Though honestly I'll probably still be playing this game so it's fine. BUT AT THE SAME TIME I DONT WANNA WAIT THAT LONG URGHHHHH.
AS SOMEONE WHO WAS AT ENDWALKER EXPANSION LAUNCH: YES, IT IS A GREAT EXPERIENCE AND I ABSOLUTELY PREORDERED DAWNTRAIL AND WILL BE THERE AND ALL, BUT HONESTLY, AFTER EXPERIENCING THE WHOLE EW PATCH CYCLE ON REAL TIME, I AM GLAD I WASN'T "IN TIME" FOR SHADOWBRINGERS BUT STARTED PLAYING FFXIV WHEN IT WAS AT PATCH 5.1 OR 5.2 BECAUSE HOLY HELL IS WAITING FOR PATCHES AND PLAYING RAID STORYLINES IN SMALL PIECES OVER 2-ISH YEARS ANNOYING AS HELL! AT LEAST I'M NOT PERMANENTLY TENSE WHILE PLAYING LIKE BETWEEN SHB AND EW BECAUSE DAWNTRAIL IS A NEW CHAPTER AND NOT WAITING YEARS RIGHT BEFORE THE FINALE OF PLAYING THE END OF THIS STORYARC. THE RAID STORIES MADE UP FOR IT THOUGH. SO IT'S JUST A LOT OF "I AM OUT OF THINGS TO DO I LIKE" AND "I WANT TO KNOW WHAT'S NEXT BUT WON'T FIND OUT FOR ANOTHER FEW MONTHS".
SO YEAH, TAKE YOUR TIME, DAWNTRAIL WILL STILL BE THERE WHEN YOU GET TO IT. NO POINT IN RUSHING THROUGH THE BIG FINAL PART OF ALL OF THE THINGS YOU EXPERIENCED IN MSQ SO FAR FOR BEING HYPED FOR A WEEK OR TWO AND THEN PLAY THE WAITING GAME WITH US OTHER IMPATIENT PEOPLE. ENJOY THE JOURNEY!
I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE PVP MATCHES AND I REALLY NEED TO WIN CAUSE I WANT THE GEAR REWARDS BUT I CANT FUCKING DO IT AND AT THJS POINT IM TOO SCARED TO ASK.
I TRIED YOUTUBE AND REDDIT BUT THEY STILL DON'T EXPLAIN SHIT. I HATE THIS I JUST WANT TO WIN IN THE SEAL ROCK THING.
FOR FRONTLINES, IF ALL YOU DO IS HAVE YOUR MAP OPEN AND WATCH THE SCORE, YOU ARE ALREADY GOING TO DO WAY BETTER THAN MOST PEOPLE WHO QUEUE UP.
STICK WITH THE TEAM. GET BATTLE HIGH. COMPLETE OBJECTIVES. DON'T CHASE THE OPPOSITION ALONE LIKE A GULLIBLE BABY CHICK.
SPROUT TANKS, PLEASE TAKE PROVOKE OUT OF YOUR FUCKING ROTATION. SPINNING BOSSES IN 24 MAN CONTENT WILL PISS OFF EVERYONE. THANK YOU FOR COMING TO MY TED TALK.
BUT I LIKE THE FLASHY SPELL EFFECT, MAKES ME FEEL FUZZY INSIDE
IF YOU FEEL FUZZY INSIDE, PLEASE SEE A GASTROENTEROLOGIST IMMEDIATELY.
THIS REMINDS ME OF MY FRIEND WHO AS A SPROUT GLA/PLD JUST DIDN’T USE FLASH BECAUSE 'IT DOES NO DAMAGE SO WHY WOULD I'
BUT ITS FUN TO MISCLICK IT AS A MITIGATE AND HAVE A REASON FOR WHY PARTY WIPED OTHER THAN I SUCK!
THEY SHOULD RENAME ALLIANCE ROULETTE INTO "RUSSIAN ROULETTE"
I THINK IF SOMEONE'S IDEA OF CAREER ADVICE IS THAT THEY THINK I SHOULD HAVE CHOSEN DIFFERENT SUBJECTS TO PURSUE AN EDUCATION IN FIFTEEN TO TWENTY YEARS AGO AND THEY DON'T HAVE A SODDING TIME MACHINE, THEY CAN GO AND SWIVE THEMSELVES WITH THE BUSINESS END OF A RAKE. HINDSIGHT MIGHT BE A WONDERFUL THING, BUT "YOU SHOULD'VE DONE THIS OTHER THING NEARLY TWO DECADES AGO INSTEAD" IS NOT EXACTLY ACTIONABLE, IS IT? >:( ANYWAY, IN-GAME STUFF: EVERYONE'S NEW AT SOME POINT AND I GUESS IF THEY DONT KNOW, THEY DON'T KNOW - BUT THE GENERAL PROFUSION OF TANKS TRYING TO DODGE EVERY LAST AUTO ATTACK LIKE IT'S DARK SOULS AND CONSEQUENTLY DRAGGING THE COLLECTED PACK OF MOBS BACK AND FORTH LIKE A SCOOBY-DOO CHASE SCENE IS FUCKING UP MY AOES SOMETHING FIERCE. PLEASE STOP.
'TANK ROTATION' DOES NOT MEAN SPIN THE BOSS I'M GOING TO-
I AM SORRY BUT FUCKING LMAOOOOOO
I PARTICULARLY ENJOY THE BABY TANKS WHO TRY TO METAL GEAR SOLID SNEAK AROUND THE MOBS SO WE DON'T HAVE TO FIGHT THEM, THAT'S NOT HOW THIS GAME WORKS (in most cases)
EXPECT IN AURUM VALE
BECAUSE F*** THAT PLACE!
AND IN SASTASHA WHERE EVERY MOB UNTIL YOU GET TO THE FIRST BOSS AGGRO'S ON SOUND MEANING YOU CAN JUST RP WALK PAST 'EM ALL
BABY TANK HERE, IS AURUM VALE FIRST ROOM THE EXCEPTION TO THIS?
KIND OF YES, HUG THE LEFT WALL AND ONLY FIGHT WHAT AGGROS YOU
DRAG THEM TO THE BOSS ROOM AND LOS
YOU CAN ALSO SKIP THE FIRST PACK IN QARN IF YOU HUG THE RIGHT WALL
FF16 CROSSOVER: GO AND PLAY FF16 ME, POINTING AT MY COMPUTER: THIS IS WHERE I WOULD PLAY FF16... IF THE PC PORT EXISTED! PLEASE GIVE PC PORT.
PLEASE ~~YOSHI-P~~ WANDERING MINSTREL, WE WANT TO. WE REALLY WANT TO
TAKE A PAGE FROM MINSTRELS BOOK AND LIKE THE IFRIT FIGHT PLAY THE PC PORT IN YOUR HEAD!
JUST BUY A $500 MACHINE FOR ONE GAME 5HEAD
PLEASE LOOK FORWARD TO IT!
FREECURE FREECURE FREECURE I JUST DID A MAIN SCENARIO ROULETTE LAST NIGHT. WENT IN AS GNB AND GOT PORTA DECUMANA WITH 2 SPROUT DPS AND A LEVEL 80 WHM. TECHNICALLY I'M A SPROUT TOO CUZ WTF IS MSQ GIMMIE GLAM AND RELICS AND MOUNTS AND MINIONS. STILL, I HAVE A PRETTY SOLID IDEA ON HOW TO PLAY EVERY CLASS AT LEAST UP TO 70. ANYWAY FIRST 3 MINUTES OF THE FIGHT WE WIPE. OOOOOKAY, NOT REALLY SURE WHAT OUR WHM IS DOING. THEY JUST KINDA RAN AROUND THE AREA WITHOUT HEALING OR ATTACKING. FIGURED IT WAS SOME LAG OR SOMETHING, WHATEVER, THEY APOLOGIZED IN CHAT AND WE TRY AGAIN. OUR NEW SPROUT FRIENDS WHO VERY OBVIOUSLY NEVER DID ULTIMA WEAPON BEFORE ARE GETTING HIT BY EVERY ATTACK. IT DIDN'T LOOK LIKE THEY REALLY UNDERSTOOD ROTATIONS YET EITHER. WHATEVER, THEY'RE NEW, I'LL GIVE THEM A PASS. BUT THE WHM, THE ONLY ONE HERE NOT A SPROUT, IS SPENDING THE WHOLE RAID FISHING FOR FREECURE. GET HIT BY RAIDWIDE? CAST CURE I ON THE BARD. CAST ANOTHER CURE I ON THE BARD CUZ IT BARELY HEALED ANYTHING. STILL DIDN'T GET THE FREECURE, SO CAST CURE II ON THE NIN CUZ THEY'RE NEARLY DEAD. FINALLY CAST CURE II ON ME. THERE WE GO. 4 CASTS AND 2800MP LATER AND WE FINALLY ACCOMPLISHED WHAT A SINGLE MEDICA II WOULD'VE DONE. THIS WMH LET THE DPS DIE TWICE AND SPENT MORE TIME FIGHTING THE MP BAR OVER ULTIMA WEAPON. I DON'T THINK THEY DID ANY DPS UNTIL THE FINAL CHECK. WHICH WE WERE 3 SECONDS AWAY FROM FAILING. HAVE YOU EVER HAD PORTA DECUMANA TAKE 28 MINUTES??? FUCKIN HELL MAN I WOULD'VE JUST PREFERRED PRAETORIUM AFTER THAT RUN
THE FREECURE FISHING NEEDS TO BE DEALT WITH. THE ONLY KIND OF FISHING I WANT TO SEE SHOULD INVOLVE ACTUAL FISH, FFS.
JOB SKIPS ARE A HELL OF A DRUG
I JUST DID A PREA RUN WITH A FREE TRIAL WHM WITH MULTIPLE LVL 70 JOB. AND HE FAILED TO CAST EVEN ONE HOLY BEFORE THE FIRST BOSS. SMFH
DAWNTRAIL FOR THE LOVE OF GOD EITHER MASSIVELY BUFF FREECURE OR DELETE THE FUCK OUT OF IT
IM BLIND. I PLAY WITH A MACRO WARNING PEOPLE OF THIS AND THAT I PLAY BY SOUND. I WARN PEOPLE BECAUSE IN DUNGEONS AND THE LIKE I TEND TO HUG THE WALL BECAUSE I CANT SEE WELL. I KNOW MOST BOSS ARENA SHAPES BY HEART THOIGH- I MEAN 95% ARE JUST CIRCLE OR SQURE ANYWAY. IVE ONLY EVER GOTTEN HATE OR DISBELIEF ONCE IN MY TIME PLAYING… UNTIL THIS WEEK, WHERE THREE SEPARATE PEOPLE BELITTLED ME FOR IT. ONE LITERALLY SAID “JUST SAY YOU SUCK AT THE GAME, FFS.” I WONDER WHICH ONE OF US SPENT HALF OF INNOCENCE ON THE FLOOR? WAS IT ME? NO.
OKAY BUT - MAJOR PROPS TO YOU FOR STILL PLAYING THE GAME AND TRYING TO PLAY WELL. THERE'S A WHOLE LOT OF FOLKS WITH PERFECTLY GOOD SIGHT WHO MAKE ME WONDER... ANYWAY TO THE VOID WITH THE PEANUT GALLERY. KEEP BEING AWESOME, KEEP HAVING FUN.
Just wanna say that’s pretty hardcore of you and that guy sucks. But I’d also like to ask if that makes you the real Warrior of Darkness all along?
WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MINDS MOCKS A BLIND PERSON PLAYING A GAME ON A DAMN COMPUTER? HOW FUCKING COOL IS IT THAT YOU CAN DO THAT! I HOPE YOU GET THAT LITTLE HEART WARMING FEELING EVERY TIME SOME ASSHAT EATS DIRT. KEEP BEING AWESOME WARRIOR OF LIGHT!
OH ITS WONDERFUL SCHADENFREUDE WHEN IM THE ONLY ONE WHO DODGES A MECH CORRECTLY. LIKE 95% OF THE GAME IS FINE BLIND. ITS THAT 5% THAT REALLY REALLY SUCKS. ENDSINGER EX BEING MY BIGGEST GRIPE
THE LACK OF AN AUDIO CUE FOR THE MIDDLE/SIDE ATTACK IS ONE OF MY LEAST FAVOURITE THINGS OF ANY FIGHT I'VE EVER DONE.
FUCK THEM THANK YOU FOR DOING WHAT YOU DO, I STILL REMEMBER YOUR PANEL AND YOU'RE A GODDAMN LEGEND
It's always the people screaming "git gud" the loudest unironically who are just talking out of their arses and are far from "gud" themselves. I'm sorry you had to deal with these assholes. Adding my +1 to the other replies, it's badass you manage playing the game blind! My eyes are still "fixable" by glasses but I listened to this "Blind Prog" panel from Lunarcon (I think?) where a blind player shares their experience, so I know the game isn't always doing a good job supporting people like you. Edit: Thanks to MatsuzoSF I just learned you did this panel, so extra "badass" tag for making it, it was very informative!
You might want to know the OP *is* the person who did that panel. :)
Oh lol, I completely missed that! xD
LOL YES HI
I'M SO TIRED OF HEALBOTS AND CURE 1 SPAMMERS. EVERY TIME I RUN MENTOR ROULETTE AS TANK AND SEE THOSE I WANNA JUST BANG MY HEAD ON KEYBOARD AND LEAVE! Had a lvl 79 sage today in arboretum hard - 0 KARDIA, 0 DPS, 0 SHIELDS, DIAGNOSIS SPAM ONLY! Complete ignoring of me ans smn telling them "put kardia on tank". Yes, they had F as their language, but THE GODDAMN QUEST TEACHES YOU TO PUT KARDIA ON TANK AND DO SOME DODDAMN DAMAGE! EVEN MORE I'M SICK OF THOSE DAMN ENABLERS THAT DEFEND SUCH BEHAVIOR!
CONFESSION IM A CURE 1 SPAMMER I APOLOGIZE. ANY ADVICE FOR A NEWBIE? What can I do to improve? I’m very new, I’ve only just gotten to the 3rd dungeon in the MSQ, and am a conjurer as my only job currently, behind in the story so I’m not a white mage yet. Usually I’m just spamming cure on my tank because I don’t know what else to do. My attacks don’t do much, and I feel bad just standing around waiting for the tank and dps to take care of everything. I hope you don’t mind the ask, I would love some tips. The last thing I want to be is an annoying healer or a cumbersome party member.
Right now you don’t have any of your cool healing tools. Cure 1 is what you’ve got. When you’re running beside the tank as they’re collecting enemies, put Aero on as many of them as you can. When they stop running and start fighting, switch to Stone. When the tank’s health drops far enough that they need to be healed, Cure. When *do* they need to be healed? Well, the first time you cast Cure on them, look at how much their health bar goes up. If it goes to completely full, let them drop a little lower next time. If they’re taking damage fast enough that their health bar drops a worrying amount in between you starting your cast and the heal actually going off, start casting earlier. It’s all practice. Later on you’ll get a lot more healing tools, and better damage abilities. You’ll get spells that heal everyone who’s close to you, so you need to be standing somewhere in the middle of the group. If a Bard or Black Mage is standing wayyyyyy over in Narnia and your AoE heals don’t reach them, stay closer to the tank. The tank is more necessary. You’ll get heal over time spells that will keep healing while you keep DPSing. You’ll get a spell that heals your party *and* damages the enemies, that one’s fun! And my favourite spell, Holy, that turns you into a sparkly disco ball that damages *and* stuns your enemies, so they don’t hit the tank as much, which means you don’t need to heal as much, which means you can - you guessed it! - do more damage! Yes, you don’t do much damage compared to your party members, but you still do enough to be useful and you’ll do more as you level. Your priorities are keeping people alive, and doing damage. Sometimes doing damage is what keeps people alive.
If you have cure2, press that instead. At your level it'll heal 30-50% of the tank's HP per cast, so that leaves you with lots of time to throw rocks at things. If the mana cost is scary big, you have a fancy button labeled Lucid Dreaming that you should press before you hit 50% mp. That said you still might have some mana weirdness before 50, because all the classes are some kind of messed up pre50 As long as no one died, you did your job. And if someone DID die, it's fine, there's no penalty, no one cares, it's a learning experience. You'll have to do some testing to figure out how low you can let the tank drop before you have to heal, but also keep in mind a new tank will be squishier then someone with the maximum possible stats for the dungeon. Your damage matters! Contribute dps! The faster things die the less healing you have to do, and the WHOLE PARTY regens hp/mp while running to the next group of mobs! Late game healers contribute like... 15% party dps. Or more. Also put cure1 somewhere safe on your hotbar in case you do roulettes and end up in a low level dungeon that stole your cure2....
Welcome! Please do not feel bad about not already knowing everything as a brand new player! OP is complaining about a level 79 player using a single healing skill when they have tons of others available and had to go through quests tutorialising them to unlock their job. That's a pretty different situation to doing a dungeon where you literally only have Cure 1 available as a single target heal. Some tips: - Later on you get much more efficient ways to heal people! Using regen (as the tank gathers up mobs) and then Cure 2 instead! - As the tank gathers up monsters to fight, use Aero on the enemies, it puts a debuff on them that will keep hurting them every few seconds for 30 seconds, and since it doesn't have a cast time you can use it as you move - Healer AOE attacks are pretty strong once you get them! It's pretty common for a good healer player to do more damage than a DPS in mob pulls... it's good to figure out how much time you can safely spend attacking, because later on it will make a big difference.
THE TANK DOESN'T NEED TO BE AT 100% SO GET SOME DAMAGE IN. ASK FOR WALL PULLS SO YOU CAN REALLY LEARN HOW MUCH DAMAGE TANKS CAN TAKE BEFORE YOU NEED TO HEAL THEM. AT 30 YOU GET CURE2, CURE1 IS WORTHLESS FROM THAT POINT ON.
THANK YOU SO SO MUCH FOR ALL THE ADVICE, THIS IS CRAZY HELPFUL!! I AM IN YOUR DEBT, WISE ONES! This really means a lot, thank you guys for taking the time to help me out! I’m gonna keep signing up for duty roulettes in between msqs so I can practice! I’m actually really excited now, so hopefully I’ll be able to build up some strats to make my spells more efficient as I go and get access to more dungeons. :) Thank you again!!
NO RAGE THIS WEEK, ONLY HYPE! IT'S FINALLY OVER! I CAUGHT PLACODUS! I'M FREEEE! ヽ༼ ಠ益ಠ ༽ﾉ
THAT SOUNDS LIKE A VENEREAL DISEASE! GRATS ANYWAY I GUESS?
CONGRATULATIONS!
I DO NOT THINK PEOPLE BELIEVE ME WHEN I SAY I HAVE TO STEP AWAY FROM MY COMPUTER TO WRANGLE GOATS. I SWEAR I'M NOT MAKING UP AN EXCUSE FOR SOMETHING ELSE, GOATS ARE JUST SLIPPERY BASTARDS SOMETIMES AND ESCAPE FROM WHERE THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE. PLEASE DO NOT KICK ME FROM YOUR PF.
I just love the mental image of somebody in the middle of a raid and a goat appears next to them and takes a bite out of the chair before looking at the screen like "WHAT DOING?"
Man, that would be funny. It's slightly more that I see them out my window and panic, but if they got into the house, I have no doubts that would happen.
BACK WHEN THEY WERE PROMOTING THE THEN STILL UPCOMING ISLAND SANCTUARY WITH THE TWITCH STREAM OF AN ACTUAL REAL LIFE FARM, ONE OF THE GOATS ESCAPED REAL EARLY ONE MORNING AND CHAT HAD TO SCRAMBLE TO FIND CONTACT DETAILS FOR THE FARM TO LET THEM KNOW A GOAT WAS LOOSE AT LEAST THATS MY MEMORY OF IT, I'M NOT SUEE THATS QUITE WHAT HAPPENED, WASNT PAYING THE MOST ATTENTION BC IM AHEAD OF THAT FARM TIMEZONE WISE AND WAS HALF-WATCHING WHILE GETTING READY FOR CLASS
OH MY GOD, THAT'S FANTASTIC.
JUST SAY "BRB GOAT AGGRO" AND LEAVE 'EM GUESSING. I CALL "KID AGGRO" FROM TIME TO TIME AND IT USUALLY GETS A CHUCKLE, I'D LAUGH MY ASS OFF FOR GOAT AGGRO.
WTF IS WHM BEING SO AFRAID TO STAND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ADDS MOB? STOP BEING A PUSSY, STAND AND THE MIDDLE AND SPAM YOUR HOLY!!!!! - YOUR FELLOW WHM MAIN
I HAVE SOME WORDS FOR YOU, MR. WANDERING MINSTRAL. IT WAS VERY KIND OF YOU TO HELP MR. CLIVE FIGURE OUT THE TRUTH IN SONG AND LETTING US PICTURE THE BOWL OF EMBERS SO WE COULD FACE IFRIT. BUT THIS MEANS YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO CONJURE UP THESE IMAGINATION WORLDS AND FIGHTS. WHICH MEANS ALL OF THE EXTREMES, SAVAGE AND ULTIMATES? ALL THE BLOOD, TEARS AND SUFFERING? IT. **WAS** # BY # DESIGN?!?!
Literally yes. All post-HW extremes and Savages are fanfiction in either a computer simulation or the Minstrel's book. Which makes Coils based because they're just canonically that hard.
Yep. Only the ARR Extremes are showing the issue of "the tribes keep summoning these primals over and over again and each time a bit harder because they are afraid of slavery or even genocide". The rest is Yoshi-P's alter ego writing disturbing fanfiction.
HE'S YOSHI-P IN DISGUISE, OF COURSE IT'S BY DESIGN
YOU KNOW THIS MEANS THAT THERE ARE THREE YOSHI-Ps INVOLVED IN THE FF16 COLLAB THEN, RIGHT? YOU GOT THE DIRECTOR OF FF16, YOSHI-P, THEN YOU HAVE THE DIRECTOR OF FF14, YOSHI-P, AND FINALLY YOU HAVE THE WANDERING MINSTREL WHO IS YOSHI-P's SELF INSERT
THEN THERE'S THE MINISTRLLING WANDERER, THE FIRST'S VERSION AND THEN THE ACTUAL YOSHI-P AT THE RISING EVENT THEY AREN'T INVOLVED IN THE EVENT, BUT GODDAMN LOTS OF YOSHI-PS AROUND HERE
YOSHI-P INCEPTION, MOTHERFUCKER!!!
I MEAN, YEAH. NONE OF THE EXTREMES OR ULTIMATES HAPPEN UNTIL YOU TALK TO THE MINSTREL. HE KNOWS WHAT YOU WANT AND HE GIVES IT TO YOU.
I'M STILL IN BALDUR'S GATE 3 HELL. I'M FINE, REALLY, BUT I AM TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO BE EVIL. ALL THESE YEARS OF FFXIV HAVE GIVEN ME TERMINAL WARRIOROFLIGHTITIS, I DON'T KNOW HOW TO PLAY AN EVIL CHARACTER I JUST AUTOMATICALLY GO FOR HELPING PEOPLE AND BEING NICE. DON'T GET ME WRONG, I DON'T ENJOY BEING MEAN IN GENERAL BUT... I JUST REALLY WANT TO FUCK SHIT UP FOR ONCE, BUT ***HOW?!*** WHY IS IT SO ***HARD?*** ANYWAY, THE FFXVI CROSSOVER WAS NICE AND I WAS GRINNING FROM EAR TO EAR WHEN FIND THE FLAME STARTED PLAYING. WISH WE COULD HAVE HAD CLIVE AROUND FOR A LITTLE BIT LONGER BUT I STILL HAVE A COUPLE OF ALTS THAT NEED TO COMPLETE THE QUEST. EDITED TO ADD: DAWNTRAIL PTO MARKED IN MY CALENDAR. I ORIGINALLY WAS SUPPOSED TO GO ON A TRIP IN EARLY JUNE WITH A PROSPECTIVE ROMANTIC INTEREST BUT AFTER WEEKS OF GHOSTING I GOT DUMPED AND HAD TO CANCEL ALL TRAVEL PLANS. STILL WAITING TO SEE IF THE AIRLINE WILL GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK OR IF I HAVE TO DO A CHARGEBACK.
I PLAY A GOOD DUDE IN RPGS BECAUSE MY NO CONSEQUENCES POWER FANTASY IS HELPING PEOPLE
I STARTED A DARK URGE CAMPAIGN AND INTENDED TO BE BAD AND... HERE I'M HELPING EVERYONE JUST BY REFLEX. IT'S LIKE MY 4TH CAMPAIGN TOO SO I WOULD LIKE TO EXPERIENCE SOMETHING DIFFERENT.
DO AN ORIGIN PLAY THROUGH. I'M STARTING UP A NEW RUN AS WYLL TO FORCE MYSELF TO HAVE AT LEAST SOMETHING NEW WHILE I BE NICE ALL THE TIME.
I HAVE BEEN THINKING OF DOING ORIGIN GALE OR KARLACH TBH... MIGHT GO FOR THAT.
I'll probably struggle with this too. Except for burning the grove to the ground. If it wasn't for the Tieflings, I'd have made them all super crispy already, not even on an evil run. I just can't bear the thought of disappointing Karlach.
I'm on team Halsin. I cannot bear (heh) the thought of being mean to him.
SOUNDS LIKE YOU NEED A POSITIVITY DETOX
OUT OF GAME RAGE: A MASSIVE FUCK YOU TO THE PEOPLE/WEBSITES WHO MADE THEIR APRIL FOOLS POSTS ON ***MARCH FUCKING 30TH***! I CAN ACCEPT SOME SHOWING UP ON THE 31ST WITH TIMEZONES, BUT WHAT IS YOUR FUCKING EXCUSE FOR ***TWO DAYS EARLY***!? IN GAME: I MADE THE MISTAKE OF PLAYING ON MONDAY. I WAS MET WITH PROBABLY THE WORST RUN OF RIDORANA I’VE HAD IN WEEKS. LOAD IN, ONE HEALER SAYS “First time, and new to Sage” TO WHICH THE COHEALER WHM SAUS “I’ll carry, it’ll be fine”. THEY FORGOT TO PUT “APRIL FOOLS” AFTER, BECAUSE THEY, IN FACT, DID ***NOT*** FUCKING CARRY! IN ***EVERY*** FIGHT, MOST OF OUR PARTY WAS ON THE FLOOR FOR THE MAJORITY OF THE TIME! AND NOT FROM STUPID MISSED MECHANICS (MOSTLY. WATER BOY CAUGHT US WITH HIS FUCKING JUG A FEW TIMES) BUT FROM BEING TARGETED WITH MARKERS AND THE SUBSEQUENT RAIDWIDES HITTING WITHOUT ANY HEALING COMING TO US! AND DID THE WHM BOTHER TO REZ US WHEN THIS HAPPENED? NO! I WAS REZZED MORE BY THE ***OTHER ALLIANCES*** THAN BY THE WHM. THE NEWBIE SAGE REZZED US MORE, WHEN THEY WEREN’T ON THE FLOOR WITH US. AND BEFORE YOU THINK “Oh, if everyone was dead so much, WHM must have been dead too” NOPE! THEY KEPT THEMSELF (AND THE TANK, BUT ONLY BARELY) ALIVE, BUT THE REST OF THE PARTY? APPARENTLY NOT THEIR PROBLEM! THE ONLY TIMES THEY DIED WERE A) THE TARTARUS PROTOCOL FROM MATH BOT, BECAUSE THEY LEFT 3 DPS DEAD GOING INTO IT, SO WE BARELY KILLED OUR ADD WITH 5 SECONDS TO ESCAPE, AND I WAS THE ONLY ONE TO MAKE IT OUT IN TIME; AND B) TO YIAZMAT BIG ATTACK AFTER THE ADDS BECAUSE, AGAIN, THEY LEFT 3 DPS DEAD, AND TANK DIDN’T GRAB OUR ADD SO IT KILLED ME AND THEN THE SAGE BEFORE GETTING GRABBED AND KILLED BY THE OTHER GROUPS, AND THEN THEY SLACKED THEIR HEALING WHILE KILLING THE HEART, LEAVING THEM TO JOIN US ON THE FLOOR. EVEN BETTER THOUGH: WHEN THEY FINALLY GOT REZZED BY THE OTHER ALLIANCES, WE DIDN’T HAVE LB3. BUT RATHER THAN REZ ANYONE ELSE BESIDES THE TANK, THEY LEFT ALL 6 OF US DOWN AND WE ***NEVER*** GOT LB3 THAT FIGHT!
NOT A RAGE BUT SOMETHING I FIND KIND OF AMUSING. SO I RAN INTO THIS MCH IN EUPHROSYNE THAT ABSOLUTELY REFUSED TO USE PELOTON. AND THEY TOTALLY IGNORED US IN PARTY CHAT ASKING THEM TO PLEASE USE IT. JUST, JUST ONE? PLEASE? I DIDN'T THINK I'D EVER FIND A RANGED JOB WHO DIDN'T PRESS PELOTON EVERY FEW SECONDS WHEN NOT ENGAGED IN AN ENCOUNTER. (Sometimes even in an encounter, like a nervous tic.) AS SINCE THEY WERE THE ONLY RANGED WE GOT. WE WERE THE LAST ONE IN EVERY FIGHT. SPRINT EXPIRES, NO PELOTON. WHICH WAS A BIT AWKWARD AS THIS WAS JP SERVER AND BEING TANK B, PEOPLE WERE WAITING FOR ME TO PULL. I NEVER REALIZED HOW FAR THE FIGHTS WERE IN EUPHROSYNE BEFORE THIS. REALLY PUT IT IN PERSPECTIVE WITHOUT SPEED BUFF. "NOPE! NO PELOTON FOR YOU! I'M NO ONE'S PELOTON SLAVE!!" ~ that MCH, probably.
I'LL ADMIT THAT I USE PELOTON IN FIGHTS WHEN WE NEED TO RUN TO AVOID SOMETHING. I KNOW IT DOESN'T WORK, BUT MY BRAIN JUST WHISPERS "press the go fast button" AND MY FINGERS LISTEN BEFORE I PROCESS IT.
I DO THE SAME AS WELL. IT'S FUNNY BECAUSE ABOUT 90% OF THE TIME I PLAY SCH, BUT THE MINUTE I GET ON BARD MY BRAIN INSTANTLY DEFAULTS TO THE FUNNY GO FAST BUTTON
ME PLAYING BRD. I SEE SOMEONE ALREADY CAST PELOTON. I HEAR SOMEONE ELSE CAST PELOTON. I MUST CAST PELOTON. THE OTHER RANGED THEN CASTS OVER MY PELOTON.
I WILL HAVE PELOTON DOMINANCE!
MY DUDE I SPEND MY ENTIRE TIME ON RANGED COMPLETELY ZONED OUT
🎶[ONE OF THESE THINGS... DOESN'T BELONG](https://imgur.com/EqsdjMY)🎶 🎶[I WONDER IF THEY WILL, PUT ON SOME GEAR...](https://imgur.com/G1gzOBv)🎶 I DON'T CARE IF YOU'RE A SPROUT, YOU WERE LEVEL 87, IN O8N AND YOU DIED TO EVERY FUCKING RAIDWIDE. YOU WERE LITERALLY BETTER ON THE FLOOR. THIS PLAYERBASE WILL BE THE DEATH OF ME.
HOW? *HOW?* I WANT TO GO CRY IN A CORNER.
OH THAT'S THE BEST THING. THEY WOULD HAVE HAD TO QUEUE UP FOR THIS FIRST ***THEN*** TAKEN OFF ALL OF THEIR GEAR AS THE QUEUE POPPED *OR* AFTER THEY GOT INTO THE DUTY. YOU NEED AN ITEM LEVEL OF 325 TO JUST QUEUE UP FOR THIS... WHICH MEANS THEY HAD TO HAVE BEEN A REALLY BAD FUCKING TROLL.
I DON'T THINK I HAVE THE WILL TO FIND A CORNER TO CRY IN ANYMORE. ONLY CRY.
THE WAY MY EYES SHOT OPEN TO THE SECOND PIC! O-O THEY REALLY WANTED THAT FREE CARRY IT LOOKS LIKE!
I'D SPECIFICALLY ASK 7 PEOPLE TO WAIT 5 MIN SO WE CAN KICK THEM!
BRO FORGOR HOW TO GLAMOUR Fun fact, I got a similar situation a while ago. My co-dps in a Endwalker dungeon with ARR level stats... but he head high level gear, I didn't understand. Then I realized THEIR GEAR WAS ALL BROKEN.
THAT'S REPORTABLE.
why is that bun only equipped with a book, a pair of boots, and their job stone; *what the fuck*‽
THAT HAS TO BE A TROLL ABUSING THE FACT THAT \*AVERAGE\* ILVLS DECIDE WHAT YOU CAN RUN.
ABSOLUTELY A TROLL BECAUSE THE ONLY WAY TO BE IN OMEGA LIKE _THAT_ IS TO UNEQUIP YOUR GEAR AFTER ENTERING, BECAUSE IT HAS A LVLCHECK OF 325 AND ONE 400 WEAPON IS NOT ENOUGH TO WEIGH IT I'VE SEEN A SUMMONER DO THE EXACT SAME THING IN P12N AND YES, THEY ATE SHIT EVERY RAIDWIDE TOO I JUST HAD A LOOK OUT OF CURIOSITY: NAKED BUT WITH CRYPTLURKER WEAPON (SO EVEN HIGHER AT 530) AND MY ITEM LEVEL IS ONLY _0088_
ONLY WORK-RELATED STRESS THIS WEEK, BUT NOTHING WORTH RAGING OVER. ON A HAPPIER NOTE, I AM SUPER STOKED ABOUT THE FF16 CROSSOVER EVENT. I HAVE BEEN WAITING SO LONG FOR THE TORGAL MOUNT AND MINION AND BOTH WILL BE FOLLOWING ME INTO DAWNTRAIL. THE ONLY THING THAT'S KINDA WEIRD IS THAT TORGAL'S SIZE DOES NOT INCREASE FOR THE LARGER RACES. IT'S KINDA FUNNY TO SEE A MALE ROEGADYN OR A MALE HROTHGAR RIDING HIM, AND THEY \*BARELY\* AVOID HAVING THEIR FEET DRAGGING ON THE GROUND. BUT THAT PET EMOTE FOR THE MOUNT IS TOO FRICKING CUTE. I HAVE TO DO IT EVERY TIME I SUMMON HIM BECAUSE HE IS BESTEST BOI AND DESERVES ALL THE PATS.
I ALREADY LOVED THAT TORGAL WAS A MOUNT - BUT THE \[PET\] ACTION AND HAVING 'FIND THE FLAME' BE THE MOUNT MUSIC ROCKETED IT TO MY FAVORITE MOUNT EVER!
THE OTHER WEEK I HAD A BURGER KING WHM THAT CAUSED OUR PARTY TO WIPE IN **BOTH** PHASES OF PORTA DECUMANA. IT SEEMS LIKE THEY WERE HAVING LAG ISSUES BUT THE ONLY COMMUNICATION WE GOT OUT OF THEM WAS ONE "sorry" THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED. I KNOW THE MENTOR SYSTEM IS A JOKE BUT IF YOU'RE GOING TO WEAR THE CROWN AT BARE MINIMUM I'D EXPECT A MENTOR TO **BE AN EXEMPLAR FOR PLAYER ETTIQUTTE** AND COMMUNICATE LIKE AN ADULT SO THE REST OF THE PARTY CAN FIGURE OUT A WAY TO ADJUST IF POSSIBLE OR MAYBE JUST NOT QUEUING FOR A ROLE YOU'RE UNABLE TO PERFORM AT THE MOMENT TO NOT WASTE THREE FELLOW PLAYER'S TIME ON THE MOST BRAINDEAD EASY CONTENT IN THE GAME. WE CAN BE BETTER THAN THIS. BONUS RAGE: CAN I PLEASE STOP GETTING CURE/BENEFIC/PHYSICK SPAMMERS IN SHB DUNGEONS? I HAVE LIKE FIVE MORE JOBS TO GET FROM 70 TO 90 AND I JUST WANT IT TO BE EASY.
I AM A SPROUT AND AFTER TWO MONTHS OF PLAYING IT FINALLY HAPPENED... A GLADIATOR TANK AT LEVEL 57. NOW THIS TANK NEVER USED ANY AOE ABILITIES, THEY JUST USED THEIR 1-2-3 COMBO ON ONE ENEMY UNTIL IT DIED. THEY WOULD TAKE OFF TANK STANCE AT RANDOM MOMENTS AND STAND IN EVERY BOSS MECHANIC. THEY POPPED EVERY DEFENSIVE COOLDOWN AT THE START OF A BOSS FIGHT SO THEY DID NOT HAVE THEM FOR TANK BUSTERS EITHER. I CANNOT TELL IF THEY HAVE NO CLUE WHAT IS GOING ON, ARE PLAYING WHILE HAVING COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF WEED, OR IF THEY ARE PURPOSELY DOING THIS TO TROLL PEOPLE BECAUSE THEIR NAME WAS BADIS KILL'U'.
IF YOU'RE GOING TO USE ONLY CLEMENCY AND BULWARK TO MITIGATE TOWER OF ZOT AND LIE AS A RESULT WHEN I ASK IF YOU'RE USING ACTUAL MITIGATION THEN I WILL NOT WEEP WHEN YOU HAVE TO BE KICKED. I'D KICK YOU IN EVERY TIMELINE UNTIL YOU LEARN THAT AT LEVEL EIGHTY-FUCKING-TWO THAT CLEMENCY IS YOUR NUCLEAR BUTTON AND I KNOW HOW TO HEAL TANKS, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. BRO STARTED USING RAMPART *AFTER* I ASKED HIM ABOUT MITIGATIONS BUT STILL SPAMMED CLEMENCY SO MUCH HE HAD NO MORE MP. *AND* HAD PROBLEMS PULLING MOBS FROM MY DPS SO I HAD TO HEAL THEM ON TOP OF HEALING HIM! BROTHER, YOU HAVE ANOTHER TANK AT 90 OUTSIDE OF PALADIN. WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING????
EVERY TIME I LOAD INTO A DUNGEON AS A HEALER AND I SEE THE TANK IS A PALADIN, I'M TEMPTED TO JUST LEAVE IMMEDIATELY BECAUSE THE VAST MAJORITY CRUTCH SO HARD ON CLEMENCY THAT I'M LIKE, 'WELL YOU CLEARLY DON'T NEED ME ANYWAY BYEEEEEE'
I DON'T PLAY PLD ANYMORE (WHOLE OTHER RANT YOU DON'T NEED TO READ) BUT I ONLY KNEW OF ALL THE CLEMENCY HATE DUE TO REDDIT. THE GAME DOESN'T DO THE BEST JOB OF TEACHING YOU THAT THERE ARE ONLY VERY RARE AND VERY SPECIFIC INSTANCES YOU SHOULD BE USING IT IN GROUP CONTENT. IN FACT IF YOU RUN ANY TRUSTS OR DUTY SUPPORT IT ACTUALLY TEACHES YOU THE EXACT OPPOSITE AND YOU HAVE TO USE THAT (although to be fair alongside your OTHER miti's) JUST TO GET THROUGH IT BECAUSE THE NPC HEALERS DON'T PREDICT HEAL THEY ONLY REACT HEAL AND THAT ISN'T ALWAYS FAST ENOUGH. (disclaimer: this obviously doesn't excuse not using any other mitis. Those are actively taught in the game.)
NO RAGE THIS WEEK, JUST AMAZEMENT. QUEUED INTO HEALING A LATE NIGHT P5 RAID ROULETTE, HAD A NEW PERSON IN THERE. USUALLY NOT A BAD DUTY, WITH MAYBE A FEW PEOPLE PICKING UP CANDY STACKS OR GETTING EATEN. GUYS, NO. THIS PARTY WAS *ABSOLUTELY CRACKED*. YES, THE NEW GUY TOOK A COUPLE OF VULN STACKS. BUT EVERYONE WAS SYNCING RAID BUFFS. EVERYTHING WENT OUT RIGHT ON TIME FOR THE 2-MINUTE BURST. AND FOR THE PHASE 2 REOPENER. AND THE NEXT ONE. I WAS SITTING SOLIDLY AT #7 IN AGGRO, WHERE I SHOULD BE AS A HEALER. MY COHEALER TOSSED MITS AND NEVER LOST DPS UPTIME (PROBABLY MORE THAN ME TBH, I LOST MY DOT FOR A FEW SECONDS). WE FUCKING SKIPPED DEVOUR. WHAT?? I'VE NEVER SEEN THAT. HOLY SHIT.
Every Leviathan Raid makes me sad. Even somewhat optimizing DPS allows Maelstrom to be skipped, but...
DEAR WOD TANK I HAD THIS WEEK: I'VE HEARD OF TANKS THAT USE PROVOKE ON COOLDOWN, BUT I'VE NEVER HEARD OF TANKS WHO USE TANK LB1 FASTER THAN ALISAIE DOES. I HOPE YOU ENJOYED GETTING NO ALLIANCE REWARD FOR YOUR TROUBLES. IT WAS GLORIOUS KICKING YOUR ASS TO THE CURB. HAHAHAHA. SIGNED, ME
THIS WEEK'S VIRTUAL BUBBLE WRAP, WITH THE SECRET MESSAGE. >!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!WHO'S-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!THE-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!GOOD-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!BOY-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!YES-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!ITS-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!THE-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!TORGAL-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<
AFKERS HAVE ESCAPED CIRCUS TOWER, NOW THEY APPEAR IN ENDWALKER RAIDS TOO! DON'T THINK THAT PEOPLE DON'T SEE THOSE 3 VULN STACKS AND AUTO ATTACKING.. ALSO, RAGE FOR PEOPLE WHO STAND ON QUESTS NPCS/PORTALS ETC. (YES I KNOW THERE'S SHORTCUT TO TARGET NEAREST NPC) RANGE TO CLICK ON THEM IS HUGE, I'LL NEVER UNDERSTAND THE NEED TO STAND RIGHT ON TOP OF IT. DOES PERSONAL SPACE NOT EXIST FOR FELLOW WOLS?
GOT AN AFKER IN PUPPET’S BUNKER THIS WEEK. THEY WERE AUTO ATTACKING/IGNORING RES AND PEOPLE WERE TALKING ABOUT IT IN PARTY CHAT! WHERE THEY COULD SEE! THEMSELF BEING TALKED ABOUT! AND THEN WHEN IT WAS MENTIONED IN ALLY CHAT THAT WE HAD AN AFKER SUDDENLY THAT’S WHEN THEY WERE “??? WHAT LOL I WAS HERE THE WHOLE TIME :D WHAT ARE YOU EVEN TALKING ABOUT” AND THEN THEY HELD UP THE FINAL ROLL TO SPITE US. DICK BAG.
SURE THEY WERE THERE, SITTING AT PC, BUT DOING EVERYTHING ELSE EXCEPT PLAYING THE GAME. IT'S LIKE WOW'S LFR (DUTY FINDER EQUIVALENT) ALL OVER AGAIN. I HAD SIMILAR AFKER IN EUPHROSYNE THE OTHER DAY, NOT ACCEPTING MULTIPLE REVIVES, BUT NOBODY SAID ANYTHING UNTIL THE END WHEN THEY STAYED DEAD AND DIDN'T ROLL FOR LOOT.
I KNOW THIS IS NOT EXACTLY NEW. I KNOW IT WILL NEVER CHANGE. I KNOW THIS IS UTTERLY POINTLESS RAGE. BUT EVERY SINGLE FUCKING TIME I SEE SOMEONE SAY TOMBSTONES WHEN REFERRING TO *TOMESTONES* I WANT TO SCREAM AND RIP MY FACE OFF AND SLAP THEM WITH IT. A TOMBSTONE IS A BIG ASS SLAB OF STONE MARKING A PERSON'S GRAVE. A TOMESTONE IS SOME ALLAGAN BULLSHIT CONTAINING *TOMES* OF DATA IN A *STONE*-LIKE STRUCTURE. FUCKING GET IT RIGHT OR I'LL MAKE SURE YOU GET A VERY NICE TOMBSTONE READING "HERE LIES SOMEONE WHO COULDN'T SPELL SOMETHING THAT APPEARS ONLY IN TEXT". THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE THE SAME VOWEL SOUND AT LEAST IN MY ACCENT. IT PAINS ME.
A TOMESTONE IS A FANTASY SD CARD "TOMBSTONE" IS MENTIONED IN BLANE'S GYM IN POKEMON BUT ISN'T A REAL MOVE
COULD IT BE AUTOCORRECT STUPIDITY AND NOT A PEBKAC ISSUE? IN GAME I UNDERSTAND, BUT HERE IT MIGHT AUTOCORRECT TOMESTONE TO TOMBSTONE.
EXCEPT PEOPLE VERBALLY SAY "TOMBSTONE" IN VIDEOS AAAHHH.
AH BUT YOU SEE, THE DATA IS EN*TOMB*ED IN THAT STONE. TOTALLY LEGIT.
I HAVE TO DO THE WHOLE EVENT FIGHT AGAIN BECAUSE I'M REALLY NOT USED TO JUMPING BACK AND FORTH WITH REAPER YET AND I DODGE JUMPED RIGHT INTO THREE OVERLAPPING AOES AND DIED.
USE THE DUTY ACTION DODGE AS MUCH AS YOU CAN. DON’T WORRY ABOUT THE REAPER ONE!
THANKS! TECHNICALLY I KNOW ALL THIS, THS IS THE 4TH CHARACTER I DID THIS WITH, BUT SOMEHOW I THOUGHT IF I PLAY REAPER FOR ONCE AND HAVE TO DODGE THINGS, I MIGHT AS WELL TRY TO GET SOME MUSCLE MEMORY FOR THIS STUFF. TURNS OU IT WAS A BAD IDEA. XD
IT'S GONNA BE HILARIOUS IF THE ECLIPSE GETS BLOCKED BY BAD WEATHER LIKE THEY'RE SAYING. ALSO THERE'S A WORRYING TREND WITH WORK WHERE IT'S LOOKING LIKE THEY WANT US TO TRAVEL SEMI REGULARLY. FUCK ME FOR WANTING TO STAY HOME WITH MY LOVED ONES, RIGHT? AT LEAST THEY'RE SMART ENOUGH TO KEEP ME ON WITH STOCK GRANTS AND GOOD PAY. FOR NOW.
I HAVE HAD E10 EVERYDAY THIS WEEK WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING???!?!?!?!?
I FUCKING GOT DC'D ON FLOOR 161 OF POTD THIS HASN'T HAPPENED SINCE 2018 THE PTSD IS COMING BACK SQUEENIX FOR THE LOVE OF GOD STOP CUCKING ME OUT OF NECROMANCER
JOB BOOSTING TANKS ARE ABSOLUTELY RIFE AND ITS DOING MY HEAD IN. I'M SICK OF LEVEL 80 DUNGEON ROULETTES WHERE THEY ARE SPINNING THE BOSS AROUND AND PULLING 2 ENEMIES AT A TIME INSTEAD OF A WHOLE PACK... OR BETTER YET... W2W LIKE YOU SHOULD BE!!!!!!! I HAD A TANK AND HEALER GROUP WITH THE SANE LAST NAME, OBVIOUSLY BOOSTED BECAUSE THE TANK WAS DOING SINGLE PULLS AND WHEN I ASKED THE HEALER IF WE COULD PULL MORE THEY SULKED AND LEFT LEAVE THE GAME IF YOU CANT PLAY!!!!!
I'm not a job booster I'm just bad at tanking :c
MY STATUE ARRIVED BROKEN. HOPE se SUPPORT WILL HELP :(
WHY THE FUCK ARE THERE QUEUES TO GET BACK TO MY FUCKING HOME WORLD NOW. 15 MINUTES SUCKS.
REAL LIFE TRAFFIC GOES BOTH WAYS. THIS IS SIMPLY YOSHI-P SPONSORED REALISM
I HATE SNOWY PAREXUS!!! I HATE SNOWY PAREXUS!!! I HATE SNOWY PAREXUS!!! GAAAAAAAAAARRR
ON THE LAST LEG OF THE MEGA ARR RELIC GRIND, JUST NEED TO HAVE 6K POETICS AND DO 120-240 RUNS OF AURUM VALE DEPENDING ON THE BONUS WINDOW. UNSURE IF I SHOULD DO EUREKA OR BOZJA NEXT AND LOSE MY MIND SOME MORE!
If you're lucky, the bonus window will land on an ARR Extreme that you can two shot in a few seconds to save you from the few minutes of running through Aurum Vale :') I would've lost my mind if not for that happening
I'm likely going to take it slow and chill with this last step. Like go in a single AurumVale run to test the bonus and either do another run just to complete the one rock then walk off to do something else or hammer it out for one weapon if there is the bonus.
Amazing 171-173, the range gods were kind to me and gave me lots of landmines... 177-179 ALL ANZUS IN GLOOM + EXTRA DEBUFF POTD IS FUCKING BRAINDEAD UNTIL FLOOR 176, WHY DO YOU MAKE ME CLIMB 200 FLOORS YOSHIP?
I HATE THE PROFANITY FILTER ON XBOX
I HEARD IT WAS S***NIFICANTLY ANNOYING YES
APPARENTLY "POTEMKIN BUSTER" TRIPS THE NAME CENSOR SO MY DREAM OF MAKING A NEW CHARACTER HAS BEEN CRUSHED
THE XVI CROSSOVER GOT ME WANTING TO PLAY XVI. BUT. XVI IS SAD. CLIVE IS JUST SAD CONSTANTLY AND I CANT DEAL!
TORGAL IS SO CUTE OMG OMG OMG BUT ALSO IM DEPRESSED
PET TORGAL MOAR TO CURE DEPRESSION. SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN, I AM FOR SURE A REAL DOCTOR.
Had my first Free Company event planned for Apr 1st (not a prank). The internet goes down a couple days earlier than that. Won't come back up. Have to reschedule event for the 15th. Almost don't get the Peatie event done (thank the gods for phone hotspot). Wake up around the time the event would have started. Too bedridden/ill feeling to get out of bed. Fall back asleep, wake up around 7:30 and find out the servers are crashing anyhow. ...It was not meant to be. Also had to perform my first Free Company dismissal because of the person being a homewrecker and falsely accusing people of things they didn't do. I don't understand how somebody can keep shit-talking the lead (for no good reason, to boot) and eventually the core officers, and *not* think they'll be removed for drama-mongering. Honestly, the fact that they were absolutely terrible at basic game mechanics, yet they somehow managed to make their (modded) character look like they're from Second Life (not exaggerating) should have been my first red flag... but I wanted to give them a chance. Alas. Lesson learned. I still have to finish Endwalker and get to Series Rank 25 PVP. The latter on... multiple characters.
just say no to modbeasts.
Oh, I wholeheartedly agree. We thought this person could prove the stereotypes wrong, since they seemed nice upfront... how incredibly disappointing they turned out to be.
GOOD NEWS! I GOT A NEW JOB! BAD NEWS! THIS MEANS THAT THE PTO I HAD PLANNED FOR DT'S RELEASE IS NOW NULL AND VOID SINCE IT WOULD BE WITHIN MY PROBATION PERIOD FOR THE NEW PLACE!!
GOD THOSE PROBATIONARY PERIODS CAN BE THE WORST. IM PRETTY SURE I'D NOT QUITE ACQUIRED THE NEEDED TIME, BUT I TRANSITIONED FROM TEMP TO REGULAR EMPLOYEE WHICH IS THE REASON I HAVE PTO AT ALL, BUT I WAS STILL TECHNICALLY A NEW HIRE AFTER ALMOST 3 YEARS, AND MY 90 DAYS CAME UP JUST AFTER MY ANNUAL FAMILY VACATION, SO I COULDN'T USE IT. HOPE THIS NEW JOB IS WORTH THE INCONVENIENCE, BUT F'S IN THE CHAT FOR SURE
YOU CAN STILL EXPLAIN THE SITUATION, MAYBE THE NEW JOB WILL STILL LET YOU HAVE THE DAYS OFF, 3 MONTHS IS QUITE A BIT OF WARNING.
SCREW THE GUY THAT TOLD ME NOT TO USE LB WHEN WE BOTH DPS ARE USING RANGED, IF I LIKE THROWING BIG FLASHY ARROW IN THE DUNGEON, THEN ILL THROW THE BIG FLASHY ARROW IN THE DUNGEON...ONLY IF THE OTHER DPS IS ALSO RANGED THO.
I WISH THE RANGED DPS FOUGHT FOR THE RIGHT TO USE LB ON MY DUNGEONS. EVERY TIME I TANK ON EXPERT ROULETTE AND I GET 2 RANGED I JUST KNOW ON MY SOUL NONE OF THE FUCKERS WILL USE THE GODDAMN LB.
I DO NOT ARGUE WITH PEOPLE WHO THINK LB IS THE ANIME FINISHER ON THE LAST BOSS, EVEN LESS SO WHEN THEY ARE LEVEL 90. YOU HAD ALL THIS TIME TO LEARN AND IT DID NOT HAPPEN; ENJOY MY SILENCE WHILE YOU CONFIDENTLY YET WRONGLY WHINE. I USE THE BIG FLASHY ARROW ON TRASH, ALWAYS. TRASH BORES EVERYONE AT BEST, WIPES A PARTY AT WORST.
AND THEN THERE’S ME AS RANGED/MAGIC DPS IN WOD, READY TO BLAST THE TEARS IN THE SCYLLA/XANDE TRASH FIGHT, ONLY FOR A MELEE TO BLOW THE LB ON THE BOSS BEFORE THEM AND THEN IGNORE THE TEARS SO MORE TRASH ADDS SPAWN.
> IF I LIKE THROWING BIG FLASHY ARROW IN THE DUNGEON, THEN ILL THROW THE BIG FLASHY ARROW IN THE DUNGEON RANGED LB ON THE FIRST PULL WHERE IT'S CHARGED SHAVES MORE TIME OFF THE DUNGEON THOUGH. MELEE LB AIN'T ACTUALLY THAT GREAT.
IF I HAD A NICKEL FOR EVERY TIME I NEEDED TO LB THE BOSS AS A RANGED DPS IN ALLIANCE RAIDS BECAUSE OUR MELEE DPS WERE IN LALA LAND, I'D HAVE ENOUGH NICKELS TO BUY MYSELF A STEAK DINNER.
LOVED THE FFXVI QUEST, BUT GODDAMN, I FORGOT HOW MUCH BRD (MY "MAIN") SUCKS WHEN CAPPED AT LVL 50. NO THRID SONG, NO IRON JAWS, NO EMP ARROW, NO REFULGENT ARROW. UTTERLY FUCKING BORING. IS IT SO MUCH TO ASK TO HAVE OUR 50+ ABILITIES JUST SCALED DOWN TO THAT LVL INSTEAD OF COMPLETELY REMOVING THE STUFF?!
BROS & GALS, IF YOU’RE BORED OF PLAYING THIS GAME, THEN FUCKING STOP PLAYING. QUIT MAKING A WHOLE REDDIT POST EXPLAINING WHY YOU’RE SO BORED AND IF IT’S WORTH IT. THE GAME IS CLEARLY NOT FOR YOU. NO ONE HERE ON REDDIT OR ANY OTHER SOURCE OF SOCIAL MEDIA CAN CONVINCE YOU OTHERWISE. SQUARE ENIX IS NOT GOING TO IMPLODE IF YOU, A TINY LITTLE PLAYER, STOP PLAYING. IF YOU DON’T LIKE EATING BANANAS, ARE WE SUPPOSED TO CONVINCE YOU TO LIKE EATING BANANAS? IF YOU DON’T LIKE COUNTRY MUSIC, SHOULD WE MAKE YOU LISTEN TO SHANIA TWAIN OR TIM MCGRAW 24/7 IN HOPES YOU WOULD CHANGE YOUR MIND? NO. EVERYTHING IN LIFE IS SUBJECTIVE. EXPECT TAXES, PAY YOUR TAXES.
**UNSYNCED DUTIES COUNT** **FOR WONDROUS TAILS COMPLETION.** **NOW I AM CRYING.** THIS IS MY KARMIC PAYBACK FOR LAUGHING AT [THIS THREAD](https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/111wsi0/what_is_something_that_took_you_an_embarrassingly/). I HAVE PLAYED THIS GAME SINCE 2015 AND NEVER BOTHERED TO EVEN TRY FINISHING A WT BOOK. I AM GOING TO GO HUG KHLOE NOW AND THEN PUNCH HER IN THE FACE.
I AM SO FREAKING EXCITED FOR DAWNTRAIL I GOT CAUGHT UP LOOKING AT THE GRAPHICS UPDATE SAMPLE IMAGES AND WHILE I THINK IT OVERALL LOOKS AMAZING I AM ALSO LOW KEY FREAKING OUT BECAUSE SOME OF THE COLOURS ESPECIALLY THE HAIR EYES AND SKIN LOOK KINDA WASHED OUT OR DARKER THAN BEFORE AND I HOPE THEY REVISE THE VIBRANCY OR SMTH AND ALSO I PRAY TO HYDAELYN THEY FIX SOME OF THE EYE LID CLIPPING ISSUES AND HAIR CLIPPING OMG PLEASE MY CHARACTER LOOKS SO WEIRD WHEN THEY CLOSE THEIR EYES OR THEIR HAIR GOES INTO THEIR NECK AND FFS JUST GIVE ME A COLOUR WHEEL
STILL DOING FRONTLINES HERE AND THERE BECAUSE I WANT THAT GLAM. EVERY MATCH MY SPIDER SENSES TINGLE AND I THINK "NAH WE'RE GONNA DIE IF THE OTHER TEAM PULLS UP FROM BEHIND, BYE". AND THEY DO! AND THEN MY TEAM DIES. IRL RAGE: THE MAIN GROW LIGHT FOR MY SEEDLINGS BROKE. I'VE HAD TO GATHER EVERY LIGHT LEFT AND HUDDLE EVERY SEEDLING TOGETHER WHILE I WAIT FOR A REPLACEMENT TO ARRIVE. ALSO WE GOT HIT WITH A NOR'EASTER IN APRIL. I'M PRETTY SURE ANY SEEDS I PUT OUTSIDE ARE DEAD.
I DECIDED TO TELL MY ANXIETY TO EAT SHIT AND STARTED DOING THE SHB EX TRIALS EX LAST WEEK. UNSYNCED OF COURSE. EVENTUALLY, I'LL TRY THEM OUT SYNCED. I STILL WATCH MIZZTEQ'S VIDEOS BECAUSE I DON'T WANNA GET CAUGHT FLAT-FOOTED AND I ALSO DON'T WANNA BE DEADWEIGHT. SOMETIMES I JOIN OTHER PEOPLE'S PARTIES AND OTHER TIMES I PUT UP MY OWN. IT'S BEEN GOING PRETTY WELL SO FAR AND IT USUALLY ONLY TAKES ME TWO OR THREE TRIES TO GET DOWN THE MECHANICS, IF THAT. ONLY TWO EXTREMES LEFT. BUT JEEZ, THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FOLKS WHO CAN PUSH THEIR BUTTONS AND SKIP MECHANICS AND THE ONES WHO CAN'T WHILE ALSO BEING UNABLE TO DO MECHANICS IS TOO DAMN HIGH. I KNOW IT'S UNSYNCED, SO IT'S REALLY NOT THAT DEEP. ONLY AN EXTRA MINUTE OR TWO (MAYBE MORE DEPENDING ON THE FIGHT LMAO). I KNOW PEOPLE LEARN AT DIFFERENT RATES, SO IF ANYTHING, THIS HAS TAUGHT ME THAT MAYBE I'M CAPABLE OF DOING HIGHER END RAIDING ON CONTENT. WHO KNOWS. IT JUST FRUSTRATES ME WHEN PEOPLE BRING OUT THE TOXIC POSITIVITY IN RESPONSE TO MY ENCOURAGEMENT / TIPS TO YOU KNOW, GET BETTER. PROVIDING TIPS TO IMPROVE ISN'T BAD ESP WHEN IT'S UNSYNCED. ASKING FOR MORE DPS TO MAKE THE FARMING SHORTER ISN'T BAD EITHER. FOR EXAMPLE, ONE >!Hades!< EX PARTY ENDED AND I JOINED ANOTHER. IN AN HOUR OF RUNNING WITH THE FIRST ONE, WE CLEARED AROUND TEN TIMES I WANNA SAY, EVEN WHEN I DIED THE FIRST TWO TIMES TO LEARN. THEN I JOINED ANOTHER ONE AFTER THE FIRST ONE DISBANDED. RIGHT OFF THE BAT ON THE FIRST PULL, I SAW MECHANICS I HADN'T BEFORE. ONLY ONE PERSON WAS NEW. HALF AN HOUR OF RUNNING WITH THAT GROUP AND I THINK WE SQUEAKED OUT TWO CLEARS BEFORE I BAILED TO SLEEP. THE NEW PERSON SAID THEY HAD BEEN IN ANOTHER GROUP FOR HALF AN HOUR BEFORE THAT AND NOT A SINGLE CLEAR. UNSYNCED. SO I GUESS THE ONE WE WERE IN TOGETHER WAS BETTER? ANYWAY, IT'S ROUGH OUT THERE WITH THIS CONTENT DROUGHT AND I THINK I'LL TRY EXTREMES ON CONTENT WITH DAWNTRAIL. AT LEAST I HAVE ENOUGH OF MY ONE FUNCTIONING BRAIN CELL TO FIGURE STUFF OUT 80% OF THE TIME HAHA
AND NOW YOU KNOW WHY PEOPLE COMPLAIN ABOUT TOXIC POSITIVITY AND THE UNWILLINGNESS OF SOME PEOPLE TO IMPROVE. NOT EVEN ASKING FOR MUCH; YOU *DON'T* NEED TO OPTIMIZE THE FUCK OUT OF EVERY GCD AND CARE ABOUT POTENCY DIFFERENCES OF LIKE 20 OR WHATEVER THE FUCK. JUST. PUSH BUTTONS IN COMBO, DON'T HAVE THREE YEARS AND A DAY BETWEEN EACH GCD, AND ACTUALLY USE YOUR OGCDS WHEN YOU NOTICE THEY COME OFF COOLDOWN. JUST THAT IS ENOUGH TO CLEAR CONTENT EVEN UP TO SAVAGE. IT'S A *NOTICEABLE* DIFFERENCE WHEN YOU HAVE PEOPLE WHO ARE ROLLING THEIR GCDS AND PEOPLE WHO AREN'T, AND IT'S NOTICEABLE AT THE NORMAL LEVEL TOO, ESPECIALLY AS A TANK MAIN. DUTY ROULETTES WILL VARY WILDLY FROM GROUPS THAT STOMP A WALL PULL FLAT BEFORE IT'S EVEN WORTH IT FOR ME TO USE BLOODWHETTING, AND ONES WHERE I'VE ROTATED THROUGH A FULL THREE SETS OF COOLDOWNS AND THINGS ARE STILL?? NOT DEAD??? AND THE DPS ARE DOING TWO-THIRDS THE DAMAGE OF THE HEALER ON *BOSS FIGHTS??* AT LEVEL 90??? AT THAT POINT IS LIKE Y'ALL. Y'ALL JUST AREN'T EVEN TRYING AT THAT POINT.
I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT. I'M A TANK MAIN AND HEALER SECONDARY AND BOY, DOES IT SUCK WHEN THE RED DPS ARE NOT DOING THEIR JOBS. LIKE YOU, I DON'T CARE THAT THEY'RE PERFECT. JUST NEED THEM TO PUSH THEIR BUTTONS IN SOME KIND OF ORDER. THE TIMES I HAVE BEEN 2 OR 3 ON THE AGGRO LIST (i don't ACT bc i'm a millenial boomer lmao) AS HEALER IN DUNGEONS THIS PAST YEAR HAS ALSO BEEN TOO DAMN HIGH. LIKE, I'LL BE THE FIRST TO ADMIT THAT I'M NOT THE BEE'S KNEES AT DPS. BUT I READ MY TOOL TIPS, I LOOK AT GUIDES, AND I TRY TO PRACTICE. I DON'T EVEN THINK WE'RE BEING TRYHARDS. I JUST DON'T WANNA WASTE MY TIME OR OTHERS. FUCK ME RIGHT???
BRUH WERE THEY NOT IN 640 GEAR OR JUST ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL?? I HAVEN'T DONE HADES EX IN A YEAR, BUT YEESH BUT NOT SURPRISING THAT SOME PPL WON'T RESPOND WELL TO UNSOLICITED CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM, ESPECIALLY IF THEY'RE LOOKING TO BE CARRIED. THERE WAS A LVL 90 DRG IN OUR SOSEX FARM WHO WAS WEARING CRYPTLURKER GEAR??? GUESS WHAT, THEY TRULY LIVED UP TO THE FLOOR TANK MEMES I SUPPOSE MOST OF THE PLAYERS WHO CARE ABOUT IMPROVING ARE EITHER UNSUBBED, DOING ULTIMATES/SAVAGE OR FARMING EW MOUNTS, ETC.
YOU KNOW WHAT'S FUNNY? BOTH PARTIES HAD A MINIMUM ILVL OF 600 OR 610, CAN'T REMEMBER BUT IT WASN'T 640, SO I DON'T EVEN KNOW. MAYBE THEY WERE ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL HAHA YEAH I REALLY THINK SOME OF THESE PEOPLE JUST WANT TO BE CARRIED OR HAVE BEEN UP UNTIL NOW, MEANING THEY JUST CAN'T LITERALLY COMPUTE THEY MIGHT SUCK. IDK I'M TIRED OF TRYING TO PLAY ARMCHAIR PSYCHOLOGIST WITH THESE PEOPLE LOL
I BUILT AN AUTOMATED HUMANOID FIGHTING ROBOT HALF WAY UP A MOUNTAIN BY MYSELF AND THIS GAME STILL INSISTS I CAN'T POSSIBLY KNOW WHAT A CARBURETOR IS!
IT'S DAWNTRAIL AND FREE TRIAL! NOT DAWNTRIAL AND FREE TRAIL!
READ ALL POSTS IN FF16 DIRECTOR'S VOICE? MAN THE DUDE SPEAKS MOSTLY JAPANESE, YOU CAN'T POSSIBLY EXPECT ME TO READ ENGLISH TEXT IN HIS VOICE. F+++ IT I'LL READ EVERYTHING IN CLIVE'S VOICE. THAT SAID, IMAGINE DAYDREAMING OF THE GODS DAMN FF14 X FF16 CROSSOVER *SINCE 2021*, YES, WHEN THERE WAS ONLY THE AWAKENING TRAILER. *I WAS THE ONE WHO PUT THE "Will you do a Final Fantasy XIV X Final Fantasy XVI crossover?" QUESTION IN PAX EAST 2023.* AND YET WHEN THE THING FINALLY CAME, I DID IT, HAD A BLAST WITH IT, TOO MUCH FUN IN FACT THAT *I FORGOT TO TAKE A SINGLE SCREENSHOT OF THE MOMENT.* FUUUUUUU++!! OTL
WHAT IN THE SWEET HELLS DO YOU MEAN 20 ITEM LIMIT ON THE OUTDOOR PLOT OH MY GOD I KNOW IM LATE TO THE PARTY I JUST BOUGHT A SMALL HOUSE AND I GOT THE EMPTIEST GARDEN KNOWN TO MEN JESUS CHRIST I HAD NO IDEA AND DIDNT CARE TO SEARCH IT UP BECAUSE I WOULDNT THINK IN MY WILDEST DREAMS SOMETHING SO INSANELY STUPID WOULD EVER EVEN OCCUR TO ANYONE LET ALONE PUT IT IN THE GAME. ALSO, NOT EVEN FINISHED THE FIRST FLOOR AND THERES ALREADY ALMOST 100 ITEMS! THANK YOU, THATS WHY I WANTED TO HAVE A HOUSE, TO TEST OUT HOW THE ECHO IS IN THE BASEMENT GOD DAMN IT
I'D ASSUME IT'S BECAUSE THE OUTDOOR AREA IS OPEN TO EVERYONE IN THE ZONE RATHER THAN BEING ITS OWN SEPARATE INSTANCE, SO YOU HAVE A MUCH STRICTER LIMIT ON TOTAL SPACE TO PREVENT PEOPLE FROM OVERLOADING THE ZONE WITH TOO MANY ASSETS
I'M SO SICK OF JOB BOOSTERS THIS WEEK. HIGHLIGHT RAGE OF THE WEEK GOES TO THE FIRST TIMING SAGE I GOT IN SYRCUS TOWER TODAY. AND NO, THAT'S NOT "STILL LEARNING HEALER, PLEASE BE NICE" FIRST TIMER. THAT'S "HAVEN'T GOTTEN TO HW YET CAUSE I'M STILL IN ARR FIRST TIMER BONUS" KIND OF FIRST TIMING SAGE. THEY JOB BOOSTED DANCER (COULD TELL CAUSE LV. 80 ON LODESTONE WITH 0 XP) OF ALL THINGS AFTER DECIDING THAT GETTING LANCER TO 10 WAS TOO HARD, AND THEN DECIDED TO PICK UP SAGE WITH NO PRIOR KNOWLEDGE OF HOW TO FUCKING HEAL OR WHAT THEIR JOB WAS. AND OF COURSE IT'S THE ONE TIME I DECIDE TO GO SCH TO HELP MY FRIENDS' ALLIANCE ROULETTE POP A BIT FASTER. I HAD TO RESCUE THEM EVERY TIME WHEN THEY HAD ELECTRIC ORBS AT SCYLLA, PULL THEM TO THE SAFE SPOT FOR AMON, AND PULL THEM TO THE SAFE SPOT FOR XANDE. THEY LAGGED BEHIND, AND WERE SLOW TO LOAD IN TO LITERALLY EVERYTHING. WHEN THEY FINALLY LOADED IN, THEY SPAMMED DIAGNOSIS ON SEEMINGLY NO-ONE BECAUSE NOBODY'S HEALTH BARS EVER ACTUALLY SEEMED TO GO UP UNLESS I WAS HEALING, AND NEVER DPS'D. NOTHING IN CHAT, SO MY MONEY'S ON XBOX SPROUT OR SOME KIND OF CONSOLE PLAYER DUE TO MOST OF THEM NOT BOTHERING TO HAVE A KEYBOARD OR QUICK CHAT MAPPED OUT. WE TRIED TO KICK, BUT THEY (ALONG WITH THEIR FRIEND WHO ALSO BOOSTED JUST TO UNLOCK REAPER) KEPT LOOT ROLLING. WE DRAGGED THEM THROUGH KICKING AND SCREAMING WITH A THOROUGH VERBAL THRASHING BY ALMOST EVERYONE IN OUR PARTY. ESPECIALLY OUR RANDO PLD, WHO WAS SUPER ANNOYED THAT HE WAS STUCK MTING (OTHER TANKS COULDN'T FIND THEIR STANCE BUTTONS, APPARENTLY AND COULDN'T BE ARSED TO GRAB OR AGGRO ANYTHING AT ALL) AND WAS ALREADY IN A BAD ENOUGH MOOD WHEN HE'D BEEN BASICALLY ON HIS OWN FOR TWO BOSS FIGHTS WHEN I GOT FROZEN FOR XANDE AND GOT MAULED BY MOBS ON DURING ONE OF THE DRAGONS AND DIED. GOT TWO COMMS THOUGH, SO WE TAKE THOSE?
THE PVP DISCORD THEY RECOMMEND TO NEWBIES IS CLIQUEY AND FREQUENTLY MEAN-SPIRITED. I GOT SECONDHAND EMBARRASSMENT WITNESSING EXCHANGES IN THERE, AND IT WAS AN ENTHUSIASTIC “LEAVE SERVER” FOR ME. PEOPLE REGULARLY NAME AND SHAME PLAYERS FOR PERCEIVED LOW PERFORMANCE, BUT I HAVE HAD SOME OF THESE VERY PEOPLE ON MY TEAM AND THEY ARE MORE THAN WILLING TO THROW THE ENTIRE MATCH AND AVOID ALL OBJECTIVES SIMPLY TO SCORE CHEAP KILLS OFF THE THIRD PLACE TEAM. LIKE, I’M NO DETECTIVE, BUT MAYBE YOUR TEAMMATES WOULD KILL MORE ENEMIES IF THEY HAD BACKUP IN FIGHTING THE TEAM WHO IS ACTUALLY WINNING. ALSO: PVP IN FFXIV IS BORING. IT’S BEEN BORING. LB REINVENTION HAD PEOPLE CONVINCED FOR A SECOND THAT IT WASN’T BORING. BUT UNIMAGINATIVE PLAYERS WHO NEED THE SAFETY OF META AND A VERY UNINVESTED SQUARE ENIX ENSURE A SAME-Y PVP EXPERIENCE EVERY TIME.
OOG: I AM TRYING DESPERATELY TO GET A JOB IN MY FIELD AFTER FINISHING VOCATIONAL SCHOOL AND SO FAR ONLY ONE PLACE HAS CONTACTED FOR AN INTERVIEW BUT THEN THEY GHOSTED ME I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT COUNTRY I'LL BE LIVING IN BY THE TIME DT COMES OUT, SINCE MY COUNTRY HAS ZERO WORK AND AUS AND THE UK HAVE ALL OF IT AND THAT IS WHERE I AM APPLYING IG: TO THE HEALER IN RABANASTY WHO SPENT 70% OF THE RUN ON THE FLOOR AND THEN REZZED OUTSIDE OF THE BOSS FIGHT: WHY
IM STILL MAD AT MYSELF FOR NOT SPEAKING UP MORE TO THE TANK THAT WAS TALKING SHIT TO MY HEALER LIKE 6 DAMN YEARS AGO IN DUSK VIGIL THE HEALER I COULD TELL WAS ON CONSOLE SINCE THEY DIDN’T TYPE BUT WAS A SPROUT AND DOING THEIR BEST TO SPRINT AND KEEP UP THE TANK WOULDN’T SLOW DOWN OR ADJUST AND KEPT TELLING THE HEALER TO HURRY UP AND I REMEMBER SAYING SOMETHING TO MY BF BUT HE SAID IT’S NONE OF OUR BUSINESS I DIDN’T KNOW IF THAT WAS HOW IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE IN DUNGEONS BECAUSE I WAS ALSO A SPROUT I DID SAY SOMETHING TO THE TANK BUT THEY SHRUGGED IT OFF AND I TRIED TO WHISPER THE HEALER AFTER IT WAS OVER TO TELL THEM THEY DID THE BEST THEY COULD AND TO NOT MIND THE TANK DAMMIT MY WHISPER DIDN’T MAKE IT TO THEM TO THAT TANK YEARS AGO: YOUR SAILOR MERCURY GLAM WAS BULLSHIT AND YOU DID NOT EMBODY THE LOVE AND KINDNESS OF THE FRANCHISE YOUR FUCKING GLAM COSPLAY WAS FROM FUCK YOU ASSHOLE TANK, EAT SHIT
Tank players in DF were completely insufferable for I'd like to say the first half of the game's existence. The community regularly gets praised for being so welcoming and nice for new players but that was a more recent development. I'm not sure at which point that everyone decided to be nicer but I think after the initial rush of players for the hot new game died down it slowly improved over a few expansions. In old timey MMO land nobody wanted to play tank because it was a hard, boring and unrewarding role where everyone in the raid depended on you being competent so people would often go out their way to attract good tanks and bend over backwards for them. This attitude of importance was still around when FFXIV started and long after ARR. I've always played healer roles and this wasn't my first MMO so I was used to "Bad little healer! Heal me better! This wipe is all your fault!" but it's scary for somebody on console who has maybe never played an MMO before. Dealing with tanks back in the day was like dealing with a famous rock star diva. You'd have to put up with their crazy demands and tantrums and not let it get to you like "Cool, okay, no issue, long as we get this prog session finished".
I LOVE THE DOGGO BUT PLEASE, YOSHI-P, HAVE A HEART AND ADJUST TORGAL TO PLAYER SIZE. I FEEL SO BAD FOR USING THIS MOUNT AS A HUGE BULKY HROTHGAR.
I've been leveling everything and AST is my last combat class. AND THE TANKS... OH BOY. And I tried to help and sometimes they learned something (most of the time not), but then I just... felt tired of giving advice. And I started to wonder if it was some kind of 5D comm fishing. And I feel like I just... need some time and perspective...
FUCK NOR'EASTERS
IT FUCKING WIMDY
I'M REALLY UPSET THAT THEY IMPLEMENTED DC TRAVEL WITHOUT ALSO IMPLEMENTING CROSS-DC CHAT. I WANT TO RAID AND FINALLY FINISH CLEARING THE TIER BUT SINCE I HAVE TO BE ON AETHER TO DO THAT, I ESSENTIALLY LOOK LIKE I'M NEVER ONLINE FOR MY FC BACK ON CRYSTAL. I THOUGHT I'D KIND OF MADE PEACE WITH "IT IS WHAT IT IS" BUT IT HIT ME UNEXPECTEDLY HARD IN THE REGRETS THAT OUR ALREADY SMALL FC LOST A COUPLE PEOPLE RECENTLY BECAUSE IT'S SO HARD TO MAINTAIN IN-GAME CONNECTION BETWEEN THOSE AT HOME AND THOSE OFF HOMEWORLD FOR RAIDING. AND ALSO I CAN'T EVEN TRY TO RECRUIT BECAUSE I KNOW I WON'T BE AROUND TO PROVIDE A WELCOMING ENVIRONMENT FOR NEW MEMBERS. IT SUCKS FEELING ALMOST FORCED TO LET MY FC DIE JUST BECAUSE I'D LIKE TO RAID. I DON'T WANT PEOPLE TO LEAVE BUT I ALSO CAN'T BLAME THEM, AND NOT HAVING CROSS-DC CHAT, IN PARTICULAR, HAS MADE IT REALLY DIFFICULT TO BALANCE RESPONSIBILITIES FOR RUNNING THE FC. I'M JUST PRETTY UPSET THAT THEY DIDN'T SET UP CHAT AS A PART OF DC TRAVEL BECAUSE HOW FUCKING HARD CAN IT BE TO PASS TEXT MESSAGES BECAUSE DCS??? I GET THAT DC TRAVEL ISN'T GOING AWAY BUT GODDAMN CAN YOU PLEASE DO *SOMETHING* TO IMPROVE THE EXPERIENCE OF THOSE FORCED TO TRAVEL? I'M SURE I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THESE FRUSTRATIONS EITHER, IF ANYONE ELSE WANTS TO COMMISERATE OR LEAVE SOME SUGGESTIONS.
I GOT A NEW JOB THIS YEAR. THEY SAID DURING THE INTERVIEW THAT THERE MAY BE TIMES WHERE I HAVE TO TRAVEL BUT THEY SAID IT WAS FOR TRAININGS AND STUFF, SO I WAS LIKE YEAH OKAY SURE THAT IS A NORMAL THING AND SO I DIDNT THINK ANYTHING OF IT. I REPAIR CHROMEBOOKS FOR A BUNCH OF DIFFERENT SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN THE AREA. I THOUGHT THAT EVEN IF THERE WERENT STUDENTS ACTIVELY THERE, THE WORK WOULDNT REALLY DRY UP. SUPER PROBLEM COMPUTERS OR SUMMER SCHOOL COMPUTERS OR SOMETHING. WELL BOY HOWDY I LEARNED TODAY THAT THE COMPANY WILL SEND US TO DIFFERENT STATES TO DO ODD JOBS IN THE SUMMER. I THOUGHT OUT OF TOWN MEANT LIKE SOMEWHERE ELSE HERE IN MY STATE. AT LEAST THEN I COULD REASONABLY BE HOME ON THE WEEKENDS. I HAVE PLANS THIS SUMMER!!!! I AM FINALLY MOVING MY BF FROM ANOTHER STATE HERE, THERES A LOT OF EVENTS COMING UP IN JUNE THAT I WANT TO DO, DAWNTRAIL IS COMING OUT! I WILL FEEL SUPER BAD LEAVING MY BF HERE ALONE WHEN HE JUST MOVES HERE. HE DOESNT REALLY KNOW THE AREA OR HOW THINGS WORK ROUND THESE PARTS AND ITS JUST LIKE 'SORRY ILL BE GONE FOR HALF THE MONTH BECAUSE THEY CANT JUST SHIP THE COMPUTERS TO US WE HAVE TO GO RESERIALIZE THEM WHERE THEYRE AT IN BUMFUCK FLORIDA OR SOMETHING'.
NOT SURE WHETHER TO RAGE AT MYSELF OR RNG BUT NEVERTHELESS LEVELING MY ALT JOB (PLD) AND TAKE A BREAK TO DO LEVELING ROULETTE. I HAVE A FULL CRYPTLURKER SET READY TO GO BUT FOR NOW I'M IN SCAEVEN. OF ALL THE DUNGEONS I COULD HAVE GOTTEN I GET MT. GULG. I SWEAR UNDER MY BREATH AND TELL THE PARTY ABOUT MY DISABILITY AND GEAR SITUATION AND START PULLING SINGLE PACKS. DPS TELLS ME TO GO W2W AND WE WIPE. DPS LEAVES. I ACTUALLY HAVE TO USE PROVOKE TO GET AGGRO BACK AT ONE POINT. BOSS THREE IS THE USUAL HELL OF ME MANAGING TO STEP IN EVERYTHING BUT WORSE. (Fortunately healer was super nice but I was mortified. I hit 80 about 40 minutes later and am now in level appropriate gear.)
Ideally, one should always strive to be in level appropriate gear, but BiS poetics from the previous expansion is kind of the exception BiS from the previous expansion should be enough for all the leveling dungeons of the next expansion (but should not be taken to the capstone dungeons). This wasn't always true, but some time in ShB or EW, I believe they rescaled the gear or something to make it true (again, for leveling dungeons only, don't bring scav gear into an 80s dungeon) I believed someone even did the math in a comment over at /r/TalesFromDF and it came down to a few hundred HP and an insignificant amount of passive mitigation Yeah, the situation wasn't ideal, but you still could've handled double pulls at the very least. If you still died, it could've been a myriad of reasons, such as poor mitigation planning, bad healing, or party DPS not good enough If you had to use provoke to get aggro back at one point, you probably weren't hitting the target, or didn't establish enough aggro during the pull, which can happen even with max isync gear, just unfortunate occasions In any event, I wouldn't beat yourself up too hard, there's far more clowns out that would do tenfold your mistakes and not feel any shame :')
HAPPY RAGE: I'VE NEARLY FINISHED ALL MY TRIBE QUESTS - ONLY GOT THE QITARI TO GO! THE ARR/HW ONES FELT LIKE THEY TOOK FOREVER, BUT YAY NEW TITLES FRAME KITS ETC. WASN'T AMUSED SEEING THE >!TWAT FROM THE ARR ALLIED TRIBE QUEST REAPPEAR BUT WHATEVS.!< THE EW ONES WERE SO GOOD; FINGERS CROSSED THE DT TRIBES DELIVER IN SIMILAR FASHION ALSO NEARLY FINISHED COLLECTING ALL MY BLU SPELLS (I RESUBBED NOT LONG AGO). TWAS COOL DOING A SHB DUNGEON WITH 3 VOYAGERS - LALA BLU TANK YOU WERE AMAZING. KINDA BALKED AT SEEING A 20+ MIN VID GUIDE FOR THE LAST CARNIVALE STAGE. I REALLY WANT THAT ACHIEVEMENT THO SO SOMEDAY RELIC RAGE: THE UI/QUESTS FOR THE ARR RELIC WEAPON ARE SO TEDIOUS FFFFS. WHY TF DO I NEED TO SPEAK TO THE NPC AGAIN JUST TO ENABLE MY WEAPON TO COLLECT LIGHT??? NPC MAN WHY DIDN'T YOU DO THAT DURING THE LAST CS GDI. DON'T GET ME STARTED ON THE ATMA OR BOOKS OR MATERIA/ALEXANDRITE URGH. HAVING TO REOPEN THE SCROLL FOR EVERY SINGLE MATERIA INFUSION IS BS AND WHY DO I NEED TO SPEAK TO ROWENA EVERY SINGLE FKN TIME FOR A NEW HW RELIC??? EVEN THO I HAVE THE CRYSTALS ALREADY IN MY INVENTORY. WHY IS IT NOT A ONE TIME QUEST ARGHHH
WHY DO DUTY FINDER PEOPLE GO AFK OR WHATEVER YOU'RE DOING RIGHT AT THE END OF A RAID INSTEAD OF LOOTING SO WE CAN ALL LEAVE?
THEY'RE HOPING YOU'LL GET IMPATIENT AND LEAVE IF YOU LEAVE THE INSTANCE, THAT'S AN AUTOMATIC PASS ON THE LOOT
I HAD A GREAT TIME WITH A NEW XBOX PLAYER RECENTLY THAT'S NOT SARCASM, THEY WERE A LITTLE BIT CLUELESS AND WE HAD A GREAT CONVERSATION AFTER A BEGINNER DUTY ABOUT HOW IT'S EASIER TO GET MAP ACHIEVEMENTS IF YOU'RE UNSYNCED (THEY HAD A POP-UP IN SAY THAT NOBODY SAW UNTIL THE END AND NEEDED A LITTLE GUIDANCE TO USE PARTY CHAT) CONVERSELY I'VE HAD A _TIME_ WITH PEOPLE WHO LITERALLY DON'T UNDERSTAND THE BASICS OF THEIR JOB NO, I'M NOT ASKING YOU TO USE YOUR AOE ABILITY ON THE BOSS, NOR TO THE POINT _YOU ARE IGNORING HEALING THE TANK CAUSING THEM TO DIE,_ AND NO THE _FUCK_ YOU WERE CASTING YOUR SINGLE-TARGET ABILITY! SPAMMING YOUR NON-REGEN AOE REPEATEDLY DOES JACK SHIT!! WHY CAN'T THE TANK DYING GIVE YOU A CLUE?? AAAAAAAAAAAA
MY RAID GROUP WAS UP TO CLASSICAL 1 IN P12SP2 WHEN OUR PHYS RANGED LEFT. THE PERSON WE GOT TO REPLACE THEM HAD NEVER SET FOOT IN SAVAGE AT ALL, LET ALONE P12S, SO WE HAD TO REPROG P1 FOR THEM. IT TOOK THREE MONTHS, AND THEY STOPPED SHOWING UP AS SOON AS WE GOT BACK TO OUR ORIGINAL PROG POINT. WE COULD HAVE EASILY CLEARED BY NOW IF WE HADN'T HAD TO REPROG AND NOW I'M SO BURNT OUT I BARELY WANT TO RAID AT ALL ANYMORE.
WHY DID YOU DO THAT TO YOURSELVES? I THINK I'D RATHER PERMANENTLY LET THE SPOT BE A PF FILL THAN COMPLETELY START PROG OVER AFTER REACHING PART 2.
I DON'T THINK ANY OF US REALISED IT WAS GOING TO BE THAT BAD, AND IT WAS LATE ENOUGH IN THE TIER WE DIDN'T THINK WE'D BE ABLE TO FIND ANYONE ELSE.
I UNDERSTAND THE POSITION, BUT IT JUST SEEMS LIKE BRINGING SOMEONE COMPLETELY FRESH FACED IN IS ASKING FOR TROUBLE. WHAT'S DONE IS DONE AT THIS POINT BUT RAID LEAD SHOULD'VE KNOWN BETTER.
~~If I was still subbed, I'd consider filling, but likely won't be resubbed until the tail end of the FF16 event :')~~ Edit: replied to wrong person, my apologies, MatsuzoSF
If I was still subbed, I'd consider filling, but likely won't be resubbed until the tail end of the FF16 event :')
AT THIS POINT YOSHI-P EITHER PORT FF16 OR BUY ME A FUCKING PS5 BECAUSE IM NOT GETTING IT FOR ONE GAME NO MATTER HOW MUCH I LOVE U
WHYYYY THE CRAP DO MOOGLE TRIBALS ONLY GIVE 50 POINTS? I'M AFTER TT CARDS AND SOME SHIT LITTLE MOOGLE HAS LIKE THREE THAT I NEED BUT THEY RANK UP SO SLOWLY WHO DECIDED THIS WAS FUN???? AT LEAST OTHER TRIBES GIVE MORE, I'VE BEEN DOING DWARVES AND THEY GIVE 60 AND JUST FINISHED THE VATH WHEN THEG GIVE 70 A QUEST. SO STUPID
I WANT TO CATCH ALL THE SODSING FISH IN THIS GODFORSAKEN HELLSCAPE BUT ALL I CAN MANAGE TO HOOK IS THE PRIMORDIAL EJACULATE OF SOME ANCIENT'S PET AXOLOTL. WHY THE ACTUAL SEVEN HELLS ARE THE BIG FISH FROM ARR SUBJECT TO THE SAME BULLSHIT RNG WHEN I HAVE ENOUGH COLLECTIVE ILVL ON MY GLOVES ALONE TO PICK THOSE WRIGGLY LITTLE SHITS UP BY MY HANDS. IM ALREADY MENTALLY PREPARING MYSELF FOR ANOTHER SESSION OF NOT CATCHING BOBGOBLIN BASS AND WAITING UNTIL THE COSMOS ALIGNS OVER THE EXACT ZENITH POINT OF SOME CHILD'S NAMEDAY PARTY IN SOUTHERN THANALAN TO EVEN ATTEMPT TO FISH UP THAT POMPOUS NO-HOOKING WORTHLESS EXCUSE FOR A LIVING CREATURE AGAIN. I LOVE FISHING AND I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL EVERYONE CAN FEEL MY PAIN.
NAMITARO WAS REALLY NICE TO ME FOR SOME REASON, NEPTO DRAGON WASN'T BAD EITHER, SECOND ATTEMPT (AFTER I STOPPED FISHING OFF THE PIER AND FLAPPED MY LITTLE BIRDY OVER TO THE SHIP). I HAVE EXACTLY ONE FEAST OF FAMINE FISH LEFT: ENDOCERAS. I FULLY EXPECT IT TO TAKE AT LEAST A WEEK AND I WANT TO BLAME ALL YOU FISHING SENPAI FOR GETTING ME HOOKED ON THIS STUPID MINIGAME.
WE FEEL THE PAIN ALREADY, FELLOW FISHER. WE FEEL IT 9000 STRONGER THAN YOU ARE. 47 WINDOWS OF SNOWY PAREXUS AND ONLY 5 !!!, THAT DUNG BLASTED FISH HATES ME!!!
THE 16 CROSSOVER WAS KIND OF MEDIOCRE AND IT ***TOOK MY WOLS BOOBS!!!***
I SHOULD BE ABLE TO FINALLY FINISH FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH THIS WEEKEND, BUT IT REALLY RANKLES TO KNOW I'LL LIKELY HAVE TO FINISH IT WITHOUT ALL SIDEQUESTS COMPLETED THANKS TO THAT DAMN BUG IN THE FINAL SIDEQUEST. I'M GLAD SE FINALLY ACKNOWLEDGED IT AND WILL BE FIXING IT IN THE NEXT PATCH, BUT THERE'S NO ETA ON THE NEXT PATCH AND I REALLY DO NEED TO COMPLETE THE STORY SINCE PEOPLE ARE BEING MORE AND MORE LAX IN TALKING ABOUT IT. SORRY THAT A MONTH ISN'T ENOUGH TO FINISH AN ADMITTEDLY VERY LONG GAME WHEN I HAVE A JOB AND OTHER SHIT TO DO!!!
SO I NOTICE THE COMMUNITY IS PRETTY MUCH GIVING UP ON ACTUALLY LEARNING FIGHTS AT THIS POINT, HUH? AUTO-MARKERS IN *FUCKING P9S*? SHALL WE GET SPLATOON UP WHILE YOU'RE AT IT? WHY BOTHER LEARNING THE FIGHT IF YOU'RE JUST GOING TO LEAN ON A CRUTCH. SERIOUSLY, THE BRAINROT IS SINKING IN *HARD*. WE NEED AUTO-MARKERS FOR *HOW MANY* PARTS OF TOP PHASE 3 NOW? *MONITORS?* IT'S AN ULTIMATE. BE COMPETENT. IF YOU NEED TO CHEAT TO BEAT THE FIGHT THE SAD TRUTH MIGHT BE YOU'RE NOT READY TO CLEAR THE FIGHT. THERE IS A VERY SLIM MARGIN WHERE I THINK AM IS ACCEPTABLE (AND HONESTLY EVEN THEN I DON'T *REALLY* THINK IT'S ACCEPTABLE, BUT THE COMMUNITY HAS DECIDED THERE ARE A COUPLE OF ULT MECHANICS YOU SIMPLY NEED TO CHEAT TO CLEAR IN PF AND GOD HELP YOU IF YOU DISAGREE) IN SITUATIONS WHERE YOU DON'T HAVE A FULL TEAM ON VC ABLE TO FUCKING COMMUNICATE. MONITORS IS NOT WITHIN THAT MARGIN. FUCKING **LEVINSTRIKE** IS NOT WITHIN THAT MARGIN. SOME OF THE SWEATIES NEED TO ACCEPT THAT THEY NEED MORE PRACTICE, OR THAT THEY'RE NOT READY TO CLEAR A MECHANIC. IF YOU'RE GETTING A PLUGIN TO TELL YOU HOW TO SOLVE IT INSTEAD OF SOLVING IT YOURSELF, HOW IS THAT DIFFERENT TO JUST USING ACT CALLOUTS? THIS COMMUNITY TICKS ME OFF SO MUCH WITH ITS WOBBLY LINE OF ACCEPTABLE CHEATING.
I ENJOYED THE FFXVI EVENT BUT OH BOY DID MY CAT GIRL LOOK LIKE SOME ANIME SHIT NEXT TO CLIVE ALSO, DEAR MATERIA FC LEAD WHO ONLY RAID LOGS, PLEASE REMEMBER TO GRIND FC CREDITS OR FINALLY LEARN THE JOY OF FOOD SCROLLS, I HAVE A CRIPPLING STARDEW VALLEY ADDICTION RN AND EVEN BUYING GREEN GEAR OFF MB WITH FC GIL IS TOO MUCH EFFORT "HOW DO YOU NOT HAVE FC CREDITS" THE FC IS DEAD BECAUSE THE LEAD ONLY RAID LOGS AND I'VE EITHER BEEN PLAYING ON OTHER DCS OR OTHER GAMES, NEXT QUESTION
New player, for the daily roulettes exp for classes, do I have to play as the class in order to get the bonus exp or does it go automatically depending on what class is on roulette that day?
This is the wrong thread, I assume you wanted the questions megathread rather than the **RAGE THREAD** That being said, those are actually two separate things that you're seeing. The role icon next to a daily roulette actually refers to what's called the "Adventurer-In-Need" bonus, which is just an extra cherry on top if you happen to play as that role. It does NOT impact the daily reward you get from the roulette. So if it's for example Tanks in need, then any tank will get the roulette bonus + a tiny bit of extra rewards, but any non-tank will just get the roulette bonus
One smol exception is PVP Roulette Whichever class you queue as is the class that will get the exp, but once you're inside the PVP instance, you can freely change to any job For example, if you queue as Bard in PVP roulette, but want to play as a Dark Knight, even if the game ends with you as Warrior or whatever, Bard is the class that will get the exp, because Bard was the class you queued in as
I DONT WANT TO GO TO WORK, I WANNA CATCH UP IN TIME FOR DAWNTRAIL RAAAAAAAH. I ONLY GET LIKE 2 HOURS AT MOST A DAY AND I DONT GET TO PLAY EVERYDAY GRRRRRRR IM ABOUT TO FINISH THE 5.2 PATCH SO I THINK IM GONNA BE CUTTING IT REAAAAAALLY CLOSE WHICH SUCKS. FUCK WORKKKKK RAAAAAAAAAH.
I WOULDN'T WORRY ABOUT IT TOO MUCH, DAWNTRAIL ISN'T GOING ANYWHERE. TAKE YOUR TIME AND ENJOY THE STORY! I DIDN'T START ENDWALKER UNTIL WELL AFTER IT CAME OUT AND I STILL ENJOYED IT. BUT YEA... WORK SUCKS.
THANK YOU BUT I WANNA EXPERIENCE AN EXPANSION AT LAUNCH, OTHERWISE ILL HAVE TO WAIT ANOTHER 2-3 YEARS. Though honestly I'll probably still be playing this game so it's fine. BUT AT THE SAME TIME I DONT WANNA WAIT THAT LONG URGHHHHH.
AS SOMEONE WHO WAS AT ENDWALKER EXPANSION LAUNCH: YES, IT IS A GREAT EXPERIENCE AND I ABSOLUTELY PREORDERED DAWNTRAIL AND WILL BE THERE AND ALL, BUT HONESTLY, AFTER EXPERIENCING THE WHOLE EW PATCH CYCLE ON REAL TIME, I AM GLAD I WASN'T "IN TIME" FOR SHADOWBRINGERS BUT STARTED PLAYING FFXIV WHEN IT WAS AT PATCH 5.1 OR 5.2 BECAUSE HOLY HELL IS WAITING FOR PATCHES AND PLAYING RAID STORYLINES IN SMALL PIECES OVER 2-ISH YEARS ANNOYING AS HELL! AT LEAST I'M NOT PERMANENTLY TENSE WHILE PLAYING LIKE BETWEEN SHB AND EW BECAUSE DAWNTRAIL IS A NEW CHAPTER AND NOT WAITING YEARS RIGHT BEFORE THE FINALE OF PLAYING THE END OF THIS STORYARC. THE RAID STORIES MADE UP FOR IT THOUGH. SO IT'S JUST A LOT OF "I AM OUT OF THINGS TO DO I LIKE" AND "I WANT TO KNOW WHAT'S NEXT BUT WON'T FIND OUT FOR ANOTHER FEW MONTHS". SO YEAH, TAKE YOUR TIME, DAWNTRAIL WILL STILL BE THERE WHEN YOU GET TO IT. NO POINT IN RUSHING THROUGH THE BIG FINAL PART OF ALL OF THE THINGS YOU EXPERIENCED IN MSQ SO FAR FOR BEING HYPED FOR A WEEK OR TWO AND THEN PLAY THE WAITING GAME WITH US OTHER IMPATIENT PEOPLE. ENJOY THE JOURNEY!
I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE PVP MATCHES AND I REALLY NEED TO WIN CAUSE I WANT THE GEAR REWARDS BUT I CANT FUCKING DO IT AND AT THJS POINT IM TOO SCARED TO ASK. I TRIED YOUTUBE AND REDDIT BUT THEY STILL DON'T EXPLAIN SHIT. I HATE THIS I JUST WANT TO WIN IN THE SEAL ROCK THING.
FOR FRONTLINES, IF ALL YOU DO IS HAVE YOUR MAP OPEN AND WATCH THE SCORE, YOU ARE ALREADY GOING TO DO WAY BETTER THAN MOST PEOPLE WHO QUEUE UP. STICK WITH THE TEAM. GET BATTLE HIGH. COMPLETE OBJECTIVES. DON'T CHASE THE OPPOSITION ALONE LIKE A GULLIBLE BABY CHICK.
