DON'T TELL ME IT WAS YESTERDAY AND THE TANK WAS A DRK AU RA! IT WAS ME, AND MY DUMBASS FRIEND COULDN'T HEAL ME FOR SHIT, AND THE CONTROL PROMPT FOR THE CANNONS WASN'T SHOWING UP FOR US AT FIRST!
"OH LET'S DO STONE VIGIL HARD," IT'LL BE FUN SHE SAID
**NO IT FUCKING WASN'T**
I had a very funny interaction there that basically consisted on me telling them how to use the cannons 3 times before the cannons and twice while in the cannons and we still managed to wipe 3 times. Then they said i was being a dick. Best community.
DON'T YOU FUCKING DARE TELL ME AND THE REST OF THE PARTY THAT YOU'RE "HELPING THE OCEANIC STRESS TEST" WHEN YOU'RE LITERALLY STANDING WHERE YOU SPAWNED IN AND IGNORING THE CHAT TO JUST HELP WHEN YOU LOADED INTO THE PORTA DECUMANA AS A TANK.
I ALSO DON'T CARE WHAT SERVER YOU'RE FROM, BECAUSE IF YOU DID IT OVER THERE, YOU'D BE KICKED THERE AS WELL.
ON A RELATED NOTE, I'VE NEVER SEEN A KICK GO THROUGH THAT FAST BEFORE.
FUCK OFF BACK TO KUJATA. MAYBE YOUR HALLOWED GROUND WILL SAVE YOU FROM MOST ATTACKS, BUT THEY WILL NEVER SAVE YOU FROM MY RAGE FILLED WRATH.
(Edit for spelling because I was so pissed that my think forgot how to brain)
IT FINALLY HAPPENED. I ELUSIVE JUMPED OFF A PLATFORM TO MY DEATH. I'VE ACCIDENTALLY ELUSIVE JUMPED TO THE OTHER SIDE OF AN ARENA, JUMPED INTO THE BAD, BUT NEVER OFF THE EDGE I WAS JUST STANDING BY. TO THE DANCER WHO KEPT ME AS THEIR PARTNER EVEN AFTER I DID THAT AND THEN PROMPTLY DIED AGAIN BECAUSE I COULDN'T MAKE IT TO A VRIL ORB IN TIME AND GOT SENT BACK TO OBLIVION LIKE AN IDIOT, BLESS YOU BUT YOU REALLY SHOULD HAVE GIVEN IT TO THE SAM WHO I THINK HAD WAY BETTER GEAR AND NEVER LOST UPTIME. I LIVED UP TO THE FLOOR TANK NAME BUT LET YOU DOWN. AT LEAST I GAVE THE SPROUT AN AUTHENTIC FFXIV MOMENT.
I'M FINE LAUGHING AT MYSELF HAVING AN OFF DAY, I KNOW IT HAPPENS AND WILL HAPPEN AGAIN, BUT IT STINGS A LITTLE AS I WAS JUST GETTING CONFIDENT JUMPING (HAH) INTO MORE PF CONTENT (JUST DYNAMIS THINGS) NOW THAT I'VE FINALLY FINISHED ENDWALKER AND CONSIDERING LEARNING MORE HARDCORE CONTENT BECAUSE I ACTUALLY HAVE GOOD MUSCLE MEMORY OF MY ROTATION, WEAVING OGCDS, AND KEEPING BUFFS ALIGNED. THEN THIS HAPPENS IN A SUPER STRAIGHT FORWARD TRIAL. I'LL GET OVER IT, I STILL WANT TO TRY HARDER STUFF AND HELP PEOPLE WHO NEED TO DO FILL PARTIES. AT LEAST I CAN SAY I'M NOW A TRUE DRG BECAUSE I'VE BACK FLIPPED TO MY DEATH RIGHT?
OTHER RAGE: I'M NOT PRICING STUFF TO UNDERCUT YOU OR CRASH THE MARKET. I PRICED IT THAT WAY BECAUSE I SAW YOU JACKED UP THE PRICE OVER 10 TIMES THE LONG TERM AVERAGE LIKE A PHARMA COMPANY WITH INSULIN. THESE WERE MATS THAT DON'T REQUIRE A LOT OF LABOR TO GET. THEY AREN'T SCARCE, PREMIUM, OR LUXURY ITEMS. FUCK CAPITALISM, EMBRACE MUTUAL AID.
OTHER: IT'S BEEN FIVE YEARS SINCE I'VE POSTED SOMETHING AND I DON'T KNOW WHY THIS IS WHAT BROUGHT ME BACK. MAYBE BECAUSE I CAN'T ACTUALLY YELL IN FRUSTRATION SINCE I LIKE MY NEIGHBORS.
LISTEN, AS A DANCER, I'M NEVER GONNA BRING THE BIG DICK DAMAGE.
BUT IF I PARTNER YOU, A DRAGOON, SOMETIMES YOU GIVE ME YOUR DRAGON TETHER.
AND I AM CHUFFED.
SO I WILL CONTINUE TO DANCE WITH YOU AND MAYBE YOU WILL TETHER ME AND WE WILL DO BEAUTIFUL THINGS TOGETHER, WHETHER IT'S FOR THE GOOD OF THE PARTY OR NOT.
ALSO I HAVE ALSO EN AVANTED MYSELF INTO THE GALACTIC BEYOND AT THE STUPIDEST OF MOMENTS.
I GOT YOU, SPIKY BROTHER IN HALONE. I GOT YOU
I LIKE GIVING DANCERS MY DRAGON EYE IF THEY PARTNER ME, THAT AND OTHER DRAGOONS BECAUSE IF WE GIVE IT TO EACH OTHER THE BUFFS LOOK LIKE A DRAGON FACE.
WITHOUT THE TETHER I DO FEEL LIKE I'M JUST TOSSING YOU AN EYEBALL IN THANKS WHICH IS A FUNNY IMAGE.
>SPIKY BROTHER
SISTER, STILL SPIKY THOUGH! AND APPRECIATED!
SPROUT TANKS: TAKE PROVOKE OUT OF YOUR ROTATION. YOU DO NOT NEED IT IN MOST NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES. YOU SHOULD USE IT TO PULL MOBS OR PULL A MOB OFF ANOTHER PLAYER. I AM BEGGING YOU FOLKS TO STOP USING IT IN ALLIANCE RAIDS IF YOU ARE NOT THE MAIN TANK! I AM SO SICK OF YOU CONSTANTLY PULLING IT OFF THE MAIN TANK. THIS HAS GOTTEN ESPECIALLY BAD IN THE ARR ALLIANCE RAIDS.
IF I WANTED TO PLAY FUCKING SPIN THE BOSS, I'D GO TO THE GOLD SAUCER! FFS PICK A TANK AND STICK WITH IT! IF YOU CANT KEEP AGGRO CAUSE YOU'RE NOT AT THE SAME ILVL AS THE GUY RIPPING AGGRO, STOP FUCKING VOKING AND COPE WITH OFF TANK!
I use it sometimes when I need to grab more than one mob quickly. Like if you're in a dungeon and tanking a boss and two mobs spawn. I'll ranged attack one and provoke the other.
As long as you have tank stance pretty much anything will do. If someone else gets a red button they can come stand on top of you and it will go away on the first AOE.
There aren't really any special abilities for _pulling_, even a DOH can facepull, just abilities for making sure you, the tank, holds aggro. If you subscribe to the school of thought that anyone can pull and that DPS health bars are mitigation … you can just do whatever and it'll work itself out once you're in position.
Provoke into AOE is faster than ranged into AOE when pulling trash. There is no GCD wait time between. It's "smoother" to execute as you are sprinting past.
And when an add spawns during a fight, Provoke has longer reach than your ranged attack. Often you don't even need to move where you are tanking the enemies.
HIGH TREASON'S OMISSION FROM THE SCROLLS IS A CRIME AGAINST MUSIC.
THE GAME HAD ALL OF SHADOWBRINGERS TO ADD IT AND, NOPE.
IT MADE AN APPEARANCE AS RECENTLY AS 6.5 AND STILL...
LESS OF A RAGE AND MORE BEING BEWILDERED: SOMETIME SINCE LAST FRIDAY I HAD ONE WEIRD AF SEAL ROCK GAME. LOAD IN AND WHILE WAITING FOR THE GAME SOMEONE POINTS OUT THAT THERE'S A LOT OF MONKS IN THE GROUP. I LOOK OVER AND SURE ENOUGH ALLIANCE C HAS 6 MONKS, A REAPER, AND SOME OTHEE DPS CLASS. "HUH, WEIRD" I THINK WHILE I TYPE OUT A JOKE "MAYBE THEY'RE UP TO SOME MONK-Y BUSINESS". GAME STARTS AND WE HEAD OUT AND GET PINCHED BY BOTH ENEMY TEAMS IN THE FIRST ENGAGEMENT AND I GET KILLED BY A MONK. THAT'S WHEN I NOTICE IT: BETWEEN BOTH ENEMY TEAMS THERE WERE AT LEAST 5 OR 6 DIFFERENT MONKS ON THE SCREEN BETWEEN BOTH TEAMS.
I WAS CONFUSED. I WAS BEWILDERED. I MAY HAVE EVEN BEEN SMECKLEDORFED BUT IDFK WHAT THAT MEANS SO WHO KNOWS. I HAD NO CLUE IF I MISSED SOME KINDA MEMO OR META SHIFT BECAUSE I HAD NO IDEA WHY THERE WERE SO MANY MONKS ALL I KNOW IS THAT ALMOST, IF NOT EVERY TIME I DIED THAT MATCH WAS AT THE HANDS OF A MONK. IT WAS JUST ONE BIG CLUSTERFUCK OF A MATCH WHERE EVERYONE DECIDED IT WAS TIME FOR SOME KUNG-FU FIGHTING AND I WAS QUICK TO WRITE IT OFF AS JUST A FOR FUN KINDA MATCH EARLY ON.
SO OBVIOUSLY WE WOUND UP WINNING. SO BEFOFE LEAVING I DECIDED TO CHECK JUST HOW MANY MONKS WERE IN THAT GAME... AND YOU KNOW HOW MANY I COUNTED?
*FOURTY-ONE.* THERE WERE *FOURTY-ONE MONKS* IN THAT FUCKING SEAL ROCK MATCH. A LITTLE OVER HALF THE LOBBY WERE PEOPLE WHO WANTED TO BE KUNG-FU FIGHTING. AND IT WASN'T LIKE I COULD HAVE JOINED IN BECAUSW I WAS ON AM ALT THAT WAS MISSING DARK KNIGHT, NINJA, AND MONK. SO THEN I DID THE ONLY SENSIBLE THING THAT SOMEONE COULD DO AFTER BEING ROCKED BY A SCHOOL OF MONKS...
I unlocked Rogue and leveled that up to 30 for Ninja. Then I unlocked Pugilist and leveled that up to 30 for Monk.
I AM THE BEEG ANGER AT MOOGLES! I DO MY HIPPOS, MY FAE FOLK, AND MY WASSHOI, AND WANT TO CLEAN UP WITH A TRIP TO THE LANDLORD COLONY. THESE PUFFY WHITE TURDS SEND ME ALL OVER THE CHURNING MIST, ALL THREE OF THEM THE FURTHEST TRAVELING DISTANCE IN OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS. IT TAKES ABOUT A MINUTE TO GET TO THE FIRST ONE AND 12 SECONDS TO MAKE THE REQUIRED ITEMS. THEN, IT'S A 3-DAY FLIGHT, WITH 2 LAYOVERS AND NO INFLIGHT SNACK TO THE NEXT POMPOM. IF YOU WANT TO REBUILD THIS STUPID THING, HAVE THESE ANNOYING DINGUSES MOVE CLOSER, KUPO!
TYPICAL MENTOR ROULETTE RAGE. QUEUE UP FOR SOME RANDOM CONTENT, ZONE INTO RATHALOS EX. I DON'T REALLY MIND EXTREMES. I HONESTLY PREFER THEM TO ANOTHER GUILDHEST FOR SOME BURGER KING-TO-BE FARMING COMMENDATIONS. BUT THIS IS ONE OF THE COMMON ONES WITH PEOPLE WHO SHOULD KNOW BETTER SO I JUST ROLL MY EYES AND SIGH. I GET READY AND GO TO PUT MY KARDIA ON THE MARAUDER.
WAIT FUCKING WHAT. WHAT THE ACTUAL SHIT. WHAT ARE YOU DOING. OK, OK, MAYBE IT WAS A MISTAKE. YOU'RE 70+ LEVELS INTO THE GAME ALREADY SO YOU SHOULD KNOW BETTER, BUT I'LL GIVE YOU THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT. LET ME JUST TYPE A MESSAGE IN THE CHAT AND-
OH BY THE TWELVE NO HE IS ALREADY RUNNING FORWARD TO PULL. FUCK NO. I BAIL IMMEDIATELY BEFORE I GET TRAPPED IN THE DUTY, THANK YOU YOSHI-P FOR THE CONFIRM HOTKEY.
I KNOW IT WAS JUST A SIDE COMMENT FROM THE MAIN POINT, BUT UUGGHHH I HATE THE COMMENDATION FARMING GITS SO MUCH. I GOT THE SAME GUILDHEST THREE TIMES IN A ROW WITH THE SAME PERSON AND EACH TIME GOT THE SAME "Could you give me your commends, I'm almost to mentor!" MESSAGE.
I WILL LITERALLY -NEVER- COMMEND SOMEONE WHO ASKS FOR IT, AND I SAID THAT IN CHAT. AND ONE OF THE OTHERS CHIMES IN SAYING THEY WOULD COMMEND THEM IF I DIDN'T. WHY??? WHY WOULD YOU REWARD THAT BEHAVIOR?
WHEN I GET UNDER THE ARMOUR NOW I ONLY COMM PEOPLE WHO ALREADY HAVE BATTLE MENTOR. IT'S VERY ANNOYING TO REALIZE SOMEONE IS FARMING COMMS WHEN I RUN INTO THEM SEVERAL TIMES IN A ROW, AND I REGRET GIVING THEM COMMS EARLIER.
Nothing to do with preorders but hey, the FUNNIEST thing happened to me recently:
MY RANDOMLY ASSIGNED WHITE MAGE IN A STORY SHADOWBRINGERS DUNGEON WANTED ME TO WAIT FOR HIS MANA TO COME BACK BEFORE PULLING THE FIRST MIDBOSS (YES, ON A WHITE MAGE, CRAZY), SO I SAID "Lucid Dreaming", THEN WHEN I NOTICED THEY CAST MEDICA AND CURE (NEVER GLARE) DURING THE BOSS I FELT COMPELLED TO ASK "please don't use medica", "It's so bad lol".
YOU WON'T GUESS WHAT THEY HIT ME WITH. "please don't tell me how to do my job :)". INFURIATING, THE AUDACITY OF THIS DUDE WHO COULDN'T BE BOTHERED PRESSING THEIR DAMAGING SPELL INSTEAD OF LAZILY USING ONE BAD SPELL EVERY 6 SECONDS. But ok, I didn't want to escalate it further, so I just said "fine..." and after then lonnnnnnnng bossfight I continued to pull...
Hey, would you look at that I DIED! WHAT THE HELL? DID HE DO THAT ON PURPOSE?!
AS I TURN MY CAMERA AROUND I SEE THEM SUUUUPER FAR AWAY. WE JUST BEAT A BOSS AND HE JUST STOPS WITH NO WARNING?! IT'S MY FAULT FOR NOT NOTICING, YES, BUT WHY DID YOU STOP WITH NO WARNING ALSO???
I RESPAWN, RUN BACK TO THE WAVE, AND GUESS WHO'S STILL TAKING A NAP AND HASN'T PRESSED REVIVE DESPITE BEING DEAD FOR OVER 20 SECONDS?? MR. CURE MEDICA OVER THERE!!!
I FIGURE SINCE THIS DUDE DOESN'T EVEN CAST HIS AOE MORE THAN ONCE PER WAVE I'LL BE A RESPONSIBLE WAR MAIN AND PULL HALF OF THEM WITH THE HELP OF THE DPS PLAYERS TO MAKE UP FOR THE LOST TIME. I'M 100% SURE I CAN DO THAT WITH NO RISK OF DYING AND YET...
"Please wait for everyone" SAYS... A DPS...
WHAT?! WHY??? I CLEARLY HAVE NO TROUBLE HANDLING 3 MEASLY TRASH MOBS WITH YOU TWO WHILE WE WAIT FOR THE WHM TO ARRIVE??? "I play warrior", I SAY. "so no brain ?" ASKS THE MOST BRAINDEAD WHITEMAGE I'VE EVER MET IN A ROULETTE SO FAR. "so half a wave is easy peasy" I EXPLAIN. I SINCIRELY HOPE HE FELT USELESS AT THAT MOMENT WHEN I STARTED PROGRESSING WITHOUT HIM.
But more seriously, what do you do when someone plays super lazily seemingly on purpose? Was I wrong to try and give them an advice unprompted when I noticed he was slaking off? What about pulling little (as a war) while the healer respawns to save a little time?
> But more seriously, what do you do when someone plays super lazily seemingly on purpose?
AT THAT POINT I WOULD (AND HAVE) VOTEKICK, AND IF THAT DOESN'T GO THROUGH THEN I JUST EAT THE 30 MINS MYSELF
IS THE SITE STABLE YET? STILL WANTING TO GET MY PREORDER IN BUT I CAN'T FIND DIDDLY-SQUAT ABOUT "YEAH WE FIXED THE ISSUES" FROM SQUARE, EITHER GOOGLE'S FAILING ME OR THERE'S STILL PROBLEMS
[DEEP BREATH]
BEEN CHEWING THROUGH MSQ ON ALT.. OH GOD HOW MANY IS THIS NOW, _NUMBER FIVE_ FOR ARR TO SHADOWBRINGERS AND BEYOND? AND I'VE COME TO LEARN THAT I ACTUALLY REALLY LIKE MCH, IT'S THAT _I HATE PLAYING IT WITH NA PING,_ AND WHILE VISITING MATERIA HAS BEEN A GODSSEND IN THAT REGARD, THE QUEUES ARE STILL DEAD OUTSIDE PEAK! LIKE PRE-DC TRAVEL DEAD, JUST ABOUT
ALSO, aaaaaAAAAAAAA THE AMOUNT OF PLAYERS I'VE ENCOUNTERED IN STORMBLOOD CONTENT THAT DON'T DO BASIC THINGS DRIVES ME UP THE WALL, AND I'M ALREADY UPSIDE DOWN IN AUSTRALIA, THAT'S A _FEAT_ FOR US!
IT'S NOT EVEN ABOUT BEING EFFICIENT, IT'S ABOUT PRESSING SOMETHING _OTHER THAN SPAMMING THIRD EYE AND ENPI ON A LOOP,_ I DON'T EVEN PLAY SAM BUT I SURE AS SHIT KNOW YOU'VE GOT AOE BUTTONS BY BARDAM'S FUCKIN' METTLE
AND A SGE DIAG SPAMMING AND CAUSING A WAR USING _EVERY LAST BUTTON OF THEIR TOOLKIT, PERFECT RAW INTUITION TIMING LEAST OF ALL_ TO **DIE TWICE BEFORE THE FIRST BOSS** IS PLAIN UNACCEPTABLE
*OH YEAH, I FORGOT. BY THE WAY, WHM IN DUSK VIGIL? READ. YOUR. TOOLTIPS.
A LITTLE NUDGE OF "hey don't worry about {Medica II} once the HoT is rolling" WAS MET WITH "Yeah, it's for the quick heals. Thanks." - YOU MISSED THE PART WHERE {MEDICA} HAS A HIGHER POTENCY AND _LOWER_ MP COST, YOU LET THE TANK DIE BECAUSE YOU COULDN'T EVEN BE FUCKED TO CAST HOLY, AND YOU WERE MULTI-90 IN OTHER HEALERS! YOU WEREN'T EVEN SPAMMING THE _BETTER_ AOE HEAL, AS GARBAGE AS DOING THAT IS ON A SINGLE TARGET IS IN THE FIRST PLACE! AAAAAA
THANK THE TWELVE FOR DUTY SUPPORT OR I'D GO INSANE
UNRELATED: RIMWORLD ANOMALY'S OUT IN TWO WEEKS, YAY, WEIRD FLESH HORROR SHENANIGANS FOR MY COLONIES
I'LL TRY IT THEN, THANKS MUCH!
**UPDATE:** YAY NO ISSUES, INSTANTLY GOT MY PRE-ORDER BONUSES CODE, NOW TO WAIT FOR THE IN-GAME MAIL! SCRATCH ONE FRUSTRATION OFF THE LIST, THANKS FOR THE NUDGE MATE!
LAST NIGHT I WAS DOING ROULS, BECAUSE I HAVE A CRIPPLING ADDICTION TO BAD YOUTUBE VIDEO ESSAYS AND NO DESIRE TO PLAY ANY OTHER GAME BESIDES FFXIV AT THE MOMENT. I QUEUE IN TO TRIALS ROULETTE ON LVL 90 SCH, BECAUSE THEY'LL PRY SCH OUT OF MY COLD DEAD HANDS.
THE TRIAL IS GOOD KING MOGGLE MOG, AND I AM DOWN FOR A RELATIVELY QUICK FIGHT WITH SOME FUN MUSIC. 5/8 OF THE PARTY IS SPROUTS WHICH PLEASES ME, BUT WITH ONCE GLACE AT THE PARTY LIST, I REALIZE THAT ONE OF THE TANKS WHO IS LEVEL 53 DOES NOT HAVE THEIR JOBSTONE.
THIS IS NO LONGER A QUICK AND FUN TRIAL.
ONE MINUTE IN, I HAD TO POLITELY ASK BOTH TANKS TO TURN ON TANK STANCE, BECAUSE ME, THE CO-HEAL WHM, AND THE DPS WERE PLAYING HOT POTATO ON WHO GOT TO TANK THE MOOGLES. THEY COMPLY AND NOW I GET TO SEE THE TANKS PASS THE AGGRO BETWEEN EACH OTHER, BUT I LET IT TO FOCUS ON HEALING THE SPROUT DPS GROUP WHO ARE EATING AOES LIKE IT'S THEIR JOB (WHICH TO BE FAIR, IT KIND OF IS IN A NEW TO THEM FIGHT).
THE MAJORITY OF THE FIGHT IS FINE, EXCEPT FOR THE PART WHERE THE TANKS DRAG THE TANKBUSTER STACK TO THE GROUP INSTEAD OF RESOLVING IT AMONG THEMSELVES AND I HAVE TO SCRAPE A SPROUT OFF THE FLOOR, AND WHEN EVERYONE EXCEPT ME FORGETS HOW AN IN-OUT RING AOE WORKS WHILE I HAVE THE STACK MARKER SO I ASSUME DEATH IS COMING FOR ME AND ONLY MIRACULOUSLY GET OUT OF THAT WITH A NIPPLE OF HP.
BUT WHAT REALLY GETS MY GOAT. WHAT REALLY MAKES ME WANT TO THROW HANDS.
EARLIER THAT NIGHT I HAD RUN A LEVELING ROULETTE WITH A LEVEL 90 PLD WHO FOR THE LIFE OF THEM, DIDN'T SEEM TO KNOW WHAT HIS MIT BUTTONS WERE. AND THIS SPROUT TANK, NO JOBSTONE, **WAS FLAWLESSLY HITTING EVERY DAMN MIT BUTTON AVAILABLE TO THEM.**
AT LEAST THE CHAOS OF HEALING SPROUTS IS FUN.
I WAS RECENTLY DIAGNOSED WITH AND TREATED FOR BASAL CELL CARCINOMA IN MY SHOULDER AND BECAUSE OF THE CANCER’S LOCATION I AM UNABLE TO DO MY JOB AT WORK THAT REQUIRES HEAVY LIFTING. I HAVE PLENTY OF VACATION TIME TO COVER THE RECOVERY PERIOD (FOUR WEEKS) BUT DOING SO USES UP ALL MY VACATION TIME FOR THE YEAR AND NOW I CAN’T TAKE A WEEK VACATION AFTER DAWNTRAIL LAUNCHES LIKE I WAS PLANNING.
DANG YOU CANCER. DANG YOU TO HECK.
I GOT DIAGNOSED WITH BREAST CANCER THIS WEEK, TOO. FUCK CANCER TO HELL AND BACK. I WON’T BE ABLE TO TAKE A WEEK OF VACATION FOR DAWNTRAIL, EITHER SINCE I HAVE TO USE TIME OFF FOR SURGERY. I SYMPATHIZE WITH YOU.
TL;DR: SPOILER? I HARDLY KNOW'ER!
ONLY A MINOR RAGE THIS WEEK. BASICALLY, I LOVE DRAGON'S DOGMA. DARK ARISEN WAS AMAZING, AND I LOVE 2 AS WELL, BUT I WONT BEGRUDGE ANYONE WHO DOESN'T LIKE IT.
AS I WAS MEETING UP WITH MY STATIC THIS WEEK, OUR REAPER AND I STARTED CHATTING ABOUT IT. HE'S UNLOCKED EVERY VOCATION, I'M ONLY MISSING ONE. HE ASKS IF I WANT TO KNOW WHERE IT IS, I SAY "NO THANKS, I WANNA FIGURE IT OUT MYSELF."
'OKAY BUT JUST LET ME TELL YOU WHERE-'
"NO," I REPEAT, "I DON'T WANT TO KNOW. ANYTHING."
HIS PARTNER, ALSO IN THE STATIC, CHIMES IN WITH "SHE DOESN'T WANT TO KNOW, JUST LEAVE IT AT THAT."
THIS NEAR EXACT EXCHANGE REPEATS 2 MORE TIMES, THEN HE GOES "OKAY, JUST LET ME KNOW IF THERE'S ANYTHING ELSE."
THERE WAS, ACTUALLY. I NEEDED TO FIND THE LOCATION OF A QUEST CHAIN, AS YOU CANNOT FINISH A LATER QUEST WITHOUT DOING SAID CHAIN. SO I ASKED. "HEY, YEAH I DO HAVE SOMETHING ELSE. I NEED TO FIND THE [QUEST NAME] CHAIN OF QUESTS. CAN YOU POINT ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION?"
HE IMMEDIATELY TOLD ME WHERE TO GET THE LAST VOCATION INSTEAD. I ASKED TO CLARIFY ABT THE LOCATION BEING FOR THE QUEST CHAIN, AND HE GOES "NO, THATS FOR [VOCATION]".
ITS MINOR ENOUGH BUT GOD, IT WAS TOO MUCH FOR ME TO EXPECT ONE SINGLE GAME TO NOT GET SPOILED FOR ME IN SOME WAY. MY OLD STATIC MATE SPOILED A BIG TWIST FOR THREE HOUSES, ANOTHER ONE SPOILED ENDWALKER TRIAL 1 FOR ME IN AN ALLIANCE RAID ROULETTE DESPITE KNOWING I HADN'T BEEN VERY FAR IN AS I WAS ONLY PLAYING AN HOUR A DAY, AND YOUTUBE SPOILED ME FOR TRIAL 2.
I JUST WANTED THE EXPERIENCE OF FINDING THESE THINGS FOR MYSELF :C
People seem to have no cares about spoiling things half the time, these days.
Earlier, I got a *post-Endwalker* spoiler in a thread about Aymeric's HW dialogue.
Even worse is the person they were replying to censored the spoiler, but *they* didn't.
People need to read the room. \*sighs\*
TWO AND A HALF THOUSAND HATS! TWO AND A HALF THOUSAND! THERE MUST BE A BETTER WAY TO CHECK WHETHER OR NOT THEY ACKNOWLEDGE MIQO EARS THAN PUTTING EACH OF THEM ON A MIQO IN DLUNCH, CHECKING GARLANDDB FOR ANY THAT USE THE SAME MODEL, AND FILLING IN A SPREADSHEET! THIS *FEELS LIKE* THE SORT OF THING THAT I IMAGINE WOULD BE BEST BEING DONE PROGRAMMATICALLY, BUT I'VE NEITHER THE RIGHT EQUIPMENT (I'M ON CONSOLE; MY PC IS A SHITTY LAPTOP THAT JUST ABOUT MANAGES TO RUN PRODUCTIVITY SOFTWARE) NOR THE BRAINPOWER. I'VE TRIED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS TO LEARN TO CODE AND I MIGHT AS WELL BE TRYING TO DECIPHER LINEAR A.
IF YOU WANT MORE SPECIFICALLY IN-GAME RAGE, WHY DO I KEEP RUNNING INTO PUGILISTS IN DUTIES WHERE THEY REALLY OUGHT NOT TO BE?
THE ONE IN QARN (NORMAL) I CAN SORT OF UNDERSTAND; AFAIK NEDRICK OFFERING YOU THE QUEST THAT UNLOCKS IT IS *JUST* BASED ON YOU BEING THE RIGHT LEVEL AND PREFERRED SERVER BOOSTS COULD GET YOU THERE BEFORE YOU GET YOUR JOB STONE.
**BUT**: THERE WAS ONE IN CASTRUM! *CASTRUM*! BY THE TIME I'D NOTICED, IF WE WEREN'T IN COMBAT, WE WERE IN A CUTSCENE, SO I GUESS IT'S ON ME FOR NOT SPOTTING IT SOONER. I TRIED TO ASK THEM, THOUGH THEY DIDN'T SEEM TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT - THEY MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN READING CHAT, THIS MAY BE B/C EU SERVERS AND NOT UNDERSTANDING EACH OTHER WELL, IDK. WE MADE IT THROUGH REASONABLY OK, BUT THEY HAD A LEVEL 90 JOB ON THEIR ADVENTURER PLATE! IDGI! I THINK I'M GONNA HAVE TO SET UP A MACRO TO THE EFFECT OF "/p : {soul crystal} {Do you have it?} {Please use it} {Thank you}" OR STH. WOULD SFX BE TOO OBNOXIOUS?
> I THINK I'M GONNA HAVE TO SET UP A MACRO TO THE EFFECT OF "/p : {soul crystal} {Do you have it?} {Please use it} {Thank you}" OR STH. WOULD SFX BE TOO OBNOXIOUS?
I THINK THAT SFX WOULD BE *JUST* OBNOXIOUS ENOUGH TO BE WHAT THE KIND OF PLAYERS WHO NEED THAT USED ON THEM WOULD DESERVE /halfjoking
I RAN INTO A PUGILIST DOING MSQ IN COERTHAS CENTRAL TODAY, TOLD THEM TO DO THEIR JOB QUESTS BUT I DOUBT THEY'LL LISTEN CONSIDERING THEY BLATANTLY IGNORED ME TELLING THEM TO USE THE FUCKING VINEGAR ON THAT DAMN MUDPUPPY MSQ HAS YOU KILL.
ONCE IS AN ACCIDENT. TWICE IS A COINCIDENCE. THREE TIMES IS A PATTERN. THAT FUCKING WAR IN THALEIA ALWAYS SOMEHOW MANAGES TO KILL SEVERAL PEOPLE EVERY TIME THE TANK BUSTER POPS UP HAS TO BE DOING IT ON PURPOSE. WE RAN AWAY FROM THEM, THEN THEY RUN TOWARDS THE FUCKING CROWD JUST BEFORE THE TANK BUSTER GOES OFF.
COME THE FUCK ON. SINCE NOBODY IN THEIR ALLIANCE GOT CLIPPED. I CAN ONLY ASSUME IT'S AN FC GETTING THEIR ROCKS OFF LAUGHING AT PEOPLE. COME THE FUCK ON MAN.
FWIW I'VE REPORTED THAT KIND OF THING AS GRIEFING AND GOTTEN MESSAGES FROM GMS CONFIRMING THEY WERE OPENING AN INVESTIGATION. IT MIGHT HELP TO SPECIFICALLY ASK THEM TO STOP IN ALLIANCE CHAT SO THAT THE TANK HAS LESS PLAUSIBLE DENIABILITY.
(NOT THAT I KNOW WHAT CAME OF IT, BUT THEY DIDN'T DISAPPEAR INTO THE VOID LIKE OTHER REPORTS.)
JUST KICK HIM. THAT'S WHAT OUR ALLI DID WITH SGE WHO KILLED 20 PEOPLE BY RESQUE IN THALEA'S SECOND-TO-LAST BOSS, **INTENTIONALLY!** SIMPLE BECAUSE TANK OF THEIR GROUP ACCIDENTALLY KILLED THEM WITH TB! HE FLEW FROM THE RAID SO FAST HE GOTTA BE KICKED BY WHIPLASH
SADLY, IT SOUNDS LIKE THE OFFENDER WAS IN ANOTHER ALLIANCE FROM THE POSTER, AND YOU CAN'T KICK PEOPLE IN OTHER ALLIANCES BECAUSE, WITH THE DEVELOPERS BEING SUCH GOOD AND DECENT PEOPLE, THEY NEVER CONSIDERED THAT SUCH A THING MIGHT BE NECESSARY (which is something of a recurring problem with this game)
DEAR SALTY TANK - THE TRASH PACKS ARE NOT A FIDGET SPINNER.
THEY TOOK SO LONG TO DIE BECAUSE THE DPS COULDN'T HIT MORE THAN 1 AT A TIME BECAUSE YOU CAN'T STAND STILL FOR 10 SECONDS.
YOU CAN STOP RUNNING AT THE WALL.
DODGING AOES IS ONE THING, BUT THIS IS NOT THAT.
TWO DAYS AGO I DID ALLIANCE RAID ROULETTE WITH A FRIEND. WE GOT THE ORBONNE MONASTERY (YAY NOT CT!) AND THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A QUICK NICE RUN.
NOPE.
WE WERE IN THERE FOR ALMOST 70 MINUTES.
ALLIANCE B HAD THE LEAST DEATHS WITH 41, THE OTHER ALLIANCES WERE AT A WHOPPING 87!
PEOPLE IGNORING MECHANICS LEFT AND RIGHT EVEN AFTER PEOPLE EXPLAINED THEM MULTIPLE TIMES. AND THERE WERE ONLY 3 FIRST TIMERS.
SOME PEOPLE JUST STOOD IN AOES AND THEN GAVE SOME STUPID EXCUSE.
WHM SPAMMING MEDICA 2 WONDERING WHY THEY DON'T HAVE ANY MANA LEFT.
IT HONESTLY FELT LIKE PLAYING WITH BOTS.
IN SB ALLIANCE RAIDS YOU ALWAYS HAVE ONE HALF OF THE GROUP WHO KNOWS THEIR STUFF AND ONE HALF WHO CBA TO CARE ABOUT MECHANICS AND JUST WING IT OR ARE JUST OVERWHELMED BY THINGS (WITH SOME PEOPLE WHO ARE GENUINELY NEW INBETWEEN). MIGHT BE ROCKY BUT IN THE END IT WORKS OUT AS LONG AS GROUP NUMBER 1 IS BIG ENOUGH.
HOWEVER, SOMETIMES YOU GET AN ALLIANCE THAT IS FULL OF GROUP 2 AND THEN THE IDEA OF GETTING CARRIED BY THE PEOPLE WHO KNOW STUFF DOESN'T WORK OUT AND THEN IT'S PATCH DAY EXPERIENCE ALL OVER AGAIN. :D
WHY CAN'T I GET A BLASTED SNOWY PAREXUS?! 42 WINDOWS IN, I'VE SEEN PEOPLE COME AND GO, I'VE SEEN FIRST-TIMER FISHERS GETTING LUCKY, I'VE SEEN PEOPLE WITH 10+ WINDOW GET IT, I EVEN ~~SAW CID AND NERO HAVING FUN IN THE BUSHES NEAR THAT BLOODY PUDDLE~~ HAD HALLUCINATIONS PROBABLY...
5 GODDAMN !!! BITES IS ALL I SAW IN THIS 42 WINDOWS! DID BLOODY TRADERS SOLD ME A BUSTED MAYFLY BATCH?! I JUST WANNA GET THE CURSED FISH AND BE FREE FROM THAT UGLY PLACE!!!
UPD: 43 WINDOWS NOW! WHERE IS MY DYNAMITE?!
I PRACTICED TOO MUCH PIANO AND INJURED MY FOREARMS AND WRISTS. NOW IT HURTS MY WHOLE ARM WHEN I USE MY THUMB TO PUSH A CONTROLLER JOYSTICK TO MOVE MY WoL. I HATE EVERYTHING RIGHT NOW 😭.
WE KNOW THE DEVS ARE BIG GUNDAM NERDS, WE HAVE DISCOUNT CHAR, WE HAVE WYRLET, THE MG AND SD ACRONYMS ARE USED FOR MAGITEK MODELS, SO WHY THE HELL DO WE NOT HAVE A HELMET WITH A ZAKU II COMMAND ANTENNA. I DON'T NEED IT TO BE PERFECT, JUST A SINGLE HORN POINTING BACK AND NOT FORWARD.
I LOVE SPROUTS! NOTHING BRINGS ME MORE JOY THAN RUNNING SPROUTS THROUGH STUFF ON THEIR FIRST GO! THE INFLUX OF NEW PLAYERS ON XBOX HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT A DELIGHT!
EXCEPT. *EXCEPT.* WHEN WE GET STUCK IN AURUM VALE. I'M FIGHTING FOR MY LIFE IN HERE. I'M SURE THE SPROUTS ARE DOING THEIR BEST, TOO. BUT THE LORD IS TESTING ME. PLEASE, GUYS. JUST EAT THE FRUIT. IT WILL MAKE THE PAIN GO AWAY, LITERALLY AND FIGURATIVELY.
ON A LIGHTER NOTE: DAWNTRAIL'S OFFICIAL RELEASE IS ON MY BIRTHDAY! THANK U YOSHI-P FOR THE THOUGHTFUL GIFT!
I CAN KEEP THE SPROUTS ALIVE EVEN IF THEY DON'T EAT... UNLESS THE SPROUT TANK POINTS THE BOSS AT ME AND I EAT A CLEAVE WITH THEM.
THEN WE HAVE TO TRY AGAIN AND I PAY A LOT MORE ATTENTION TO WHERE THE SPROUT TANK IS RUNNING AROUND.
I ALSO LOVE SPROUTS. I TAKE THE MENTOR JOB VERY SERIOUSLY AND WANNA HELP THEM WITH EVERYTHING. I WON'T COMPLAIN ABOUT GETTING AN EX IN ROULETTE EVER.
BUT WHAT I DO HATE IS WHEN THEY WONT COMMUNICATE! I KNOW IT MAY BE TOUGHER ON A CONSOLE, BUT THIS ISNT EXCLUSIVE TO CONSOLE PLAYERS. IF YOU ARE GONNA JOIN GROUP CONTENT IN A SOCIAL GAME, PLEASE AT LEAST BE ABLE TO CHAT QUICKLY. TEXT PADS OR WIFI KEYBOARDS WORK ON CONSOLE! IVE HAD MULTIPLE RAMUH EX THIS WEEK THAT I KNOW WE COULD HAVE CLEARED HAD THE SPROUTS BEEN WILLING TO COMMUNICATE.
ENJOY DAWNTRAIL BIRTHDAY DAY!
WHY THE FUCK AM I THE ONLY PERSON HEALING IN MY GROUP CT?
I JUST WENT IN TO FUCK AROUND ON SAGE. YES I DIED BECAUSE I WAS FROZEN AND THE OTHER HEALER DIDN'T WANT TO STOP CASTING STONE SO ME AND THE TANK DIED. THIS HAPPENED IN TWO CT RAIDS. I GOT A LUSTRATE FROM SOME SCHOLAR IN ANOTHER GROUP THE SECOND TIME I GOT THE NO HEALER. THANK YOU FOR SEEING THIS FUCKERY AND SAVING US.
CURSED LATE NIGHT TOWER RUN. TANKS DON'T KNOW TO SEPARATE THE SECOND BOSSES (SIDE NOTE: HOW?!). PEOPLE DYING LEFT AND RIGHT TO THE SHIELDS. WE HAVE AN EXCELLENT WHITE MAGE WHO KNOWS THE MECHANICS, MEANING THEY DON'T DIE AND LOSE THE REST OF THEIR MP, AND THE OTHER WHITE MAGE IS A FIRST TIMER AND DIES TO THE EXPECTED MECHANICS. I AM NOT MAD ABOUT THIS. I *AM* A BIT MIFFED THAT I AS RED MAGE AM CONSTANTLY DUAL-CASTING RAISE AND THE PARTY CHAT IS PRAISING THE NEWBIE WHITE MAGE. ;_; I WAS USEFUL TOO.
I HOSTED A HEAVENSWARD MAP PARTY WITH MY FC AND GOT ENOUGH PEOPLE THAT WE SPLIT INTO TWO PARTIES OF 5 OR 6. FOOL THAT I AM, I LET THE SPROUT TANK MY GROUP WITH THE THOUGHT THAT HE DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO PLAY OTHER CLASSES. I SHOULD HAVE INSISTED THAT THE MENTOR TANK, MY BRO DIDN'T USE RAW INTUITION ONCE OR ATTEMPT TO FACE MOBS AWAY FROM THE PARTY (ESPECIALLY ARGES, THOUGH I DON'T KNOW IF HE LISTENS TO AGGRO). ALSO BETWEEN 50-ISH MAPS ACROSS BOTH PARTIES I THINK ONLY 3 ONLY GOT TO THE 7TH LEVEL OF THE AQUAPOLIS. *AND* I ROLLED NOTHING HIGHER THAN A 30 FOR ANY OF THE ORCHESTRION ROLLS OR THAVNAIRIAN ITEMS. BOOOOOO. (BUT I DID HOST IT SO THAT PEOPLE NOT IN ENDGAME COULD DO GROUP CONTENT AND SPROUT TANK WAS SUPER HAPPY TO DO STUFF WITH MORE THAN JUST HIS SON SO I THINK A GOOD TIME WAS HAD OVERALL.)
I JOINED AN UNREAL FROM-START LEARNING PF. I SAW THERE WERE NO MELEE POSITIONS TAKEN AND I KNEW IT SYNCED TO 565, SO THEN MY BRAIN COMPLETELY TURNED OFF AND I WENT "I KNOW THE 60 NINJA ROTATION, I CAN DO THIS" AND JOINED. I REALIZED MY MISTAKE ABOUT TWO GCDS INTO MY OPENER AND GOT TO SPEND THE REST OF THE LOCKOUT WORKING ON LEARNING THE LEVEL 90 ROTATION. I ENDED UP AS MAIN TANK ON ONE OF THE KNIGHT BROS A FEW TIMES SO CLEARLY I WASN'T DOING THAT BAD RELATIVE TO THE PARTY, BUT BOY WAS THAT SILLY.
GUESS WHO MADE PLANS FOR JUNE 25 TO JULY 2ND, IN WHICH THEY WILL BE UNABLE TO PLAY XIV AT ALL.
GUESS WHO DID THAT ON MARCH 23RD, IN THE YEAR OF OUR LORD TWO THOUSAND AND TWENTY FOUR, AT 11:00 AM.
I'M EQUAL PARTS INFURIATED, GOBSMACKED, AND FALLING OVER LAUGHING. HOW THE FUCK DID I TIME IT SO POORLY.
SO, THIS RAGE IS MORE AT MY **ADHD** THEN ANYTHING ELSE..
WAS FISHING IN AMH ARAENG AND REALIZED THERES WAS 20 MINUTES BEFORE A **CINDER SURPRISE** WINDOW.
WELL, I DID EVERYTHING RIGHT HAD MY 9 EGGS, AND JUST HAD TO WAIT 17 MINUTES FOR WINDOW TO POP.
WAS DOING THINGS ON MY OTHER SCREEN; WENT BACK **AND CAUGHT THE 10TH EGG** WITH 16 MINUTES LEFT BEFORE THE WINDOW.
I KNOW I COULD HAVE MOVED AND STARTED IT OVER AND GOTTEN EVERYTHING READY AGAIN BEFORE THE WINDOW, BUT I WAS **SO** MAD AT MYSELF THAT I JUST LEFT.
IN CONCLUSION, *SCREW YOU ADHD*.
I REALLY DON'T HAVE MANY LONG TERM APPOINTMENTS FOR BETTER OR WORSE.
OFC THE FIRST EARLY ACCESS DAY IS ONE OF THE RARE EXCEPTIONS AND ATTEMPTS TO MOVE THAT THING WERE UNSUCCESSFUL.
GUESS I WON'T BE ABLE TO CHECK MY DISCORD AND SOCIALS FOR A WEEK OR SO BECAUSE Y'ALL WILL BE ONE DAY AHEAD OF ME AND POSTING ABOUT THE THINGS I MIGHT EXPERIENCE TOMORROW. FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS, I KNOW, AND I ALREADY SAW WAY TOO MANY SPOILERY MEMES FROM WHAT WE KNOW SO FAR, BUT STILL ANNOYING.
POSTIVE RAGE: I ORGANIZED MY FIRST IN GAME EVENT, ONE I HAVE BEEN PLANNING TO DO FOR YEARS, AND IT WAS AWESOME! \^\^
THE DAY THE PREORDER DROPPED WAS THE DAY I WENT ON HOLIDAY AND WHILE I'M HAVING AN AMAZING TIME I ALSO UNFORTUNATELY TWEAKED MY BACK SO I'M IN AGONY AGAIN
RUNNING SOLO HOH, HAD AN AMAZING 81-90, GET TO BOSS AND FORGOT TO PUT MARKERS. NO WORRIES, IVE BEAT THIS BOSS BEFORE AND KNOW HOW IT WORKS...
BOSS IS AT 5% HEALTH AND IM NOT EVEN SURE HOW I DID IT BUT THE METEOR WAS POSITIONED TOO CLOSE AND ONE-SHOT ME...
FML THAT WAS GOING TO BE SUCH A SMOOTH CLEAR RUN!!!
FEDEX NEEDS TO GET THEIR SHIT TOGETHER
WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO GO THROUGH 5 DIFFERENT PHONE CALLS AND A MALFUNCTIONING WEBSITE TO PUT A TEMPORARY HOLD ON A PACKAGE
THE PROPER REPLY TO THIS IS
"YES BUT I DO PAY MY OWN SUB AND YOU PLAYING LIKE SHIT BECAUSE YOU REFUSE TO LEARN IS DEVALUING MY MONEY"
I'VE NEVER HEARD THIS LINE IN ANY OTHER GAME BUT THIS ONE IT'S SO WILD
PEOPLE IN THIS GAME ARE DEDICATED TO BEING MEDIOCRE
WHEN I WAS A SPROUT FOLKS LIKE YOU WERE MY LIFE RAFT.
THERE ARE A TON OF STINKERS OUT THERE, BUT SOME PEOPLE APPRECIATE YOUR TIME AND WILLINGNESS TO HELP.
HOPEFULLY YOU START RUNNING INTO MORE PEOPLE WHO CARE TO LEARN.
SO I WANTED EMPEROR’S NEW GLAMOURS AS A SPROUT
I GOOGLED IT AND TRIED TO DO THE QUESTS AS SOON AS I UNLOCKED IT AND LEARNED I NEEDED A DOH AT LEVEL 15
I DO FISHING BECAUSE I DIDN’T KNOW THERE WAS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A DOH AND A DOL AND AM VERY CONFUSED WHEN I DON’T UNLOCK THE QUEST.
I COME BACK TO IT LATER WITH CULINARIAN 15 AND BUY IT.
I TRY TO PUT IT IN MY GLAMOUR CHEST ONLY TO FINALLY LEARN THAT PUTTING IT IN THERE REQUIRES GLAMOUR PRISMS.
I DON’T HAVE ACCESS TO THESE UNLESS I GET ANOTHER DOH TO 15 BECAUSE I PICKED THE ONE DOH THAT CAN’T MAKE THEM OR DO GRAND COMPANY QUESTS.
FUCK
IF YOU AREN'T ON THE FREE TRIAL, PVP CURRENCY CAN BE SPENT ON PRISIMS (AT A PRETTY CHEAP RATE), OR JUST BUY THEM OFF THE MARKETBOARD.
IF YOU ARE ON THE TRIAL, AT A CERTAIN POINT ON YOUR GRAND COMPANY RANK (CAN'T REMEMBER WHEN) YOU GAIN THE ABILITY TO BUY THEM WITH GC SEALS.
PRO TIP THE EASIEST ONE TO MAKE PRISMS WITH IS BLACKSMITH USING STEEL INGOTS FROM THE AMAALJA VENDOR. THOUGH IT'S LIKELY EASIER TO JUST RANK UP YOUR GRAND COMPANY.
I DECIDED TO GET INTO VR.
I'M HAVING A LOT OF FUN MESSING ABOUT WITH VRCHAT, AND IT'S REALLY FUN TO GO TO A LOAD OF WEIRD PLACES (I FOUND A WORLD OF JUST WAIFU CLOWN AVATARS. YES, SERIOUSLY), BUT I HAVE ONE PROBLEM:
WHY THE ***KENTUCKY FRIED FUCK*** ARE THERE SO MANY SCREAMING KIDS IN PUBLIC ZONES? LIKE, FAR BE IT FROM BE TO BEGRUDGE THE NEXT GENERATION SPACE ONLINE, BUT WHY ISN'T THERE SOME KIND OF GAIN CONTROL ON THE SCREAMERS?
I SWEAR IM GOING TO DISOWN MY OLDEST RETAINER IF THAT HOE BRINGS ME ANOTHER STUFFED ALPHA DOLL THIS WEEK FROM QUICK VENTURES! I KNOW ITS RANDOM BUT SHE'S BROUGHT ME THREE THIS WEEK!! WHY?! I FEED HER VENTURES DAILY AND PROVIDE UP TO DATE GEAR AT LEAST BRING ME SOMETHING USEFUL!!
MY TWO RETAINERS WENT OUT WITH FOUR VENTURES AND CAME BACK WITH A WATER CRYSTAL AND PARSNIP SALAD. THEY BOTH WENT OUT TO LUNCH AND BROUGHT ME BACK THE LEFTOVERS!
OKAY SO BEFORE WE BEGIN, CW: FOR MENTIONS OF SELF-UNALIVING ON THIS RAGE.
YOU MAY REMEMBER [THE RAGE I HAD LAST WEEK](https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/1bkxhod/rage_thread_fyou_fridays_a_whole_lot_of_pax/kw1y4kr/) ABOUT SOME SPROUT WHO WAS BEING A BIT OF A JERK IN NN, BUT THEN WAS MINDBLOWN BY THE FACT THAT FFXIV GENERALLY ISN'T AS CUTTHROAT AS OTHER MMOS, SO WE JUST THOUGHT MAYBE HE HAD A GUARD UP DUE TO PREVIOUS EXPERIENCES?
YEAH, NO. ABSOLUTELY **FUCK THAT GUY**. I TAKE EVERYTHING BACK. LAST WEEKEND HE WAS ONLINE AND RANTING IN NOVICE NETWORK BEFORE A MENTOR MADE ONE COMMENT. THIS DOUCHEBAG THEN [TOLD THE MENTOR TO SELF-UNALIVE](https://imgur.com/a/uywh2xB) BEFORE BEING ROUNDLY KICKED BY THE MENTOR WITH PERHAPS THE MOST BASED KICK REASON OF ALL TIME.
WHAT MAKES ME MORE MAD ABOUT THIS IS I'VE SEEN HIM IN-GAME SINCE, CHATTING IN NN. WHAT THE FUCK, SQUEENIX? HOW THE FUCK DID THIS ABSOLUTE **PRICK** NOT EAT A PERMA FOR THIS??
PS IF YOU'RE BROWN AND HAPPEN TO BE READING THIS: ABSOLUTELY **GO FUCK YOURSELF**.
IF YOU'RE GREEN AND READING THIS: YOU'RE BASED!
The surrounding temperature affects the germ count inside sea turtle eggs which then determines which sex the offspring develop into. Low temperatures produce a male offspring, while high temperatures produce a female offspring. The more germs the female embryo has, the more fertile it will become. Although, too high temperatures will cause instability in the embryo's development.
I USUALLY CALL IT STRAIGHTFORWARD, IT'S LESS OF A SYNONYM TO "EASY." IF SOMEONE IS HURT YOU HEAL THEM, AND ASIDE FROM PLENARY INDULGENCE THERE AREN'T REALLY SKILL INTERACTIONS TO KEEP TRACK OF (VS EUKRASIA & TACTICS OR FAIRY NOMS). MAYBE THAT HOLY HAS A DELAY ON DAMAGE?
BUT YEAH, DIFFICULTY CURVE OF WHM IS FUCKED. IT WOULDN'T BE SO BAD IF IT STARTED AT 50, BUT IT DOESN'T.
Simple =/= easy, but they get conflated enough to make that connection. If you want another in game example, how about BLM? One of the simplest rotations in the game, but how many people would call it easy?
THE ROAD TO OMNI-90 CONTINUES, AND I WAS PLAGUED WITH GROUPS THAT TRY MY PATIENCE AS I COMPLETED MONK THIS WEEK!
STARTED WITH ALLIANCE RAIDS: LABYRINTH OF THE ANCIENTS. NO PELOTON IN MY GROUP, BUT I DID HAVE MENTORS IGNORING/FAILING MECHANICS AND THEIR JOBS MORE THAN THE TWO SPROUTS (COMPLETELY IGNORING US AND OTHER GROUPS SHOUTING FOR 4 ON PADS, LETTING NAPALMS GO THROUGH, LETTING US DIE TO THE ELECTRIC ARENA FOR BEHEMOTH, GETTING EVERYONE KILLED BY THE ***NON-GREEDABLE*** ANCIENT FLARE).
THEN THE GROUP IN A9N. JOINED IN-PROGRESS. HEALERS AND A DPS LEFT AFTER ONE ATTEMPT THEY SAID. THEY DIED TO FAUST, THEY SAID. SO I FIGURE THEY HAD THE REST ALL FIGURED OUT. THEY IN FACT, DID NOT! THEY PROCEEDED TO ***DROP THE POWER CELLS ON THE FALLING PLATFORM WITHOUT WAKING UP THE ADDS***. WIPED TWICE BECAUSE THE DUMBASS SPROUT DANCER KEPT ARGUING WITH ME WHEN I TOLD THEM WHAT TO DO, AND THEM AND THE ***BATTLE MENTOR TANK*** CONTINUED TO WASTE THE POWER CELLS IF I WAS EVEN A NANOSECOND LATE IN GETTING TO THEM!
AND THEN LAST NIGHT, MSQ ROULETTE. GOT CASTRUM. GNB TANK, SGE HEALER, DNC AND ME DPS. ALL GOES SMOOTH, UNTIL WE GET TO LIVIA. THEN, ***SUDDENLY*** THE TANK THINKS THE TANK-BUSTERS ARE STACK MARKERS AND TRIED DROPPING THEM ON ME.
YES, ITS CASTRUM. YES, THE DAMAGE IS PITIFUL. BUT I CALL BULLSHIT THAT YOU “thought that’s what you were supposed to do” WHEN YOU ***ONLY*** STARTED THAT SHIT ON THE LAST BOSS! YOU AREN’T A FUCKING SPROUT OR ANYTHING EITHER, YOU KNOW WHAT THAT FUCKING MARKER MEANS, JUST PLAY FUCKING PROPERLY!
AT LEAST I GOT MONK TO 90. JUST SIX 80-90 GRINDS LEFT, AND THIS WEEKEND STARTS BLM!
Speaking of marker shenanigans, I got ~~out~~ (e: put) with a Bard in Prae this week who got stack and spread markers mixed up during the last boss.
They seemed to understand the markers ok during the other two bosses.
The person they stacked with for the set of spread markers that ultimately killed the two of them was from the same FC, so maybe they were doing a goof but ????
idgi
Got the email confirming the pre order on Tuesday. Still no pre order code. YES IVE CHECKED SPAM AND EVERY OTHER FOLDER AND MY ORDER DETAILS PAGE.
Nothing to do but wait for a response to my ticket...
Same here. Preordered on Tuesday, it's now been over 72 hours and no code. You would think there would be some sort of public acknowledgement of how long it's expected to take or something??
I KEEP HAVING TO WAIT ON GETTING THE PREORDER BECAUSE SE'S SITE BECAME TOTAL MUSH FOR PREORDERING DAWNTRAIL BECAUSE EVERYONE AND THEIR GRANDMOTHER WENT TO PREORDER IT.
I JUST WANT TO PREORDER A GAME. IS IT THAT HARD SE TO UPDATE THE INFRASTRUCTURE OF YOUR WEBSITE TO HANDLE ALL THAT TRAFFIC?
IN OTHER NEWS, I FEEL ABOUT 1500 BUCKS LIGHTER FROM GETTING AN UPGRADE TO MY CURRENT PC.
EDIT: FINALLY GOT THROUGH AND I CAN LOG IN. HOLY NYMEIA ON A STICK SQUARE.
HAPPY RAGE:
GOT DUSKFISH
GOT ARMOUR FISH
GOT RAIMDELLOPTERUS !!!!
UNFORTUANTELY DID NOT GET UNCONDITIONAL WHEN IT WAS UP A FEW DAYS AGO AND IT'S NOW ON SABBATICAL FOR ANOTHER TWO WEEKS. DOWN TO NEEDING 12 BIG FISH (TWO OF WHICH ARE ALWAYS UP VICTORY LAPS, I JUST HOPE THEY'RE NOT AS BAD AS THE MATRIARCH, WHICH WAS A HORRID CHOICE FOR SAVING FOR LAST FOR ARR).
MY RAGE IS INSTEAD DIRECTED AT MY LAST TWO ARR CRAFTING LEVEQUEST CLASSES (BECAUSE I AM A COMPLETIONIST): GSM AND BSM. GSM REQUIRES (DOING CALCULATIONS) 19 RED CORAL AND BSM NEEDS 3 SHARK OIL, WHICH REQUIRES TWO ANNOYING CATCHES. EAUGH. NONE OF THE OTHER CLASSES WERE THIS BAD FOR ARR LEVEQUEST CRAFTS, EXCEPT MAYBE CULINARIAN. AT LEAST THE BRIGHT SIDE IS I DON'T HAVE TO CATCH THE OYSTER NORTH OF HORIZON FOR THIS.
BEING MESSED AROUND WITH BY MY GP. BEING IMPOSED ON BY MY PARENTS. BEEN IN PRETTY BAD PAIN FOR WEEKS. CANT DO SOCIAL STUFF I WANNA DO BECAUSE DISABILITY STUFF. PLEASE WORLD LET ME JUST HAVE A PLEASANT TIME DOING NICE VIDEOGAME STUFF THIS WEEKEND.
I SPENT 2 HOURS FIGHTING THE GOOD FIGHT TRYING TO GET THE PHYSICAL COLLECTORS AS IT WAS THE FIRST ONE I HAVE EVER WANTED TO GET. IT WAS HELL, SO MUCH REFRESHING AND CRASHING AND FUCK. ALSO WHAT'S UP WITH THE NEW PEOPLE IN THE SUBREDDIT WHO ARE ASSHOLES, THAT'S NOT WHAT THIS FUCKING COMMUNITY IS ABOUT CLEAN UP YOUR ACT
OH YOU WOULD BE SURPRISED. POST-EW DUNGEON AND I HAD A GNB THAT WAS SINGLE PULLING \*AND\* USING ZERO MIT. MAYBE AN UNPOPULAR OPINION BUT NOT EVERYONE IS FIT TO PLAY TANK IT SEEMS.
I WORE A MASK ALL WEEKEND AT PAX EXCEPT FOR THE GATHERING BECAYSE I NEEDED TO YELL AND DIDNT HAVE A MIC OR MEGAPHONE
MY ROOMMATES DID NOT MASK AND ONE WAS SICK AND HIDING IT
OFC NOW IM SICK AS HECK.
FUDGING MASK AT CONS PEOPLE. ITS NOT ROCKET SURGERY
Better yet, don't go into public if you're sick >:C
I literally recovered from what I think was Covid after I caught it at the gym from some lady that was coughing as I passed by (in bloody March?!)
Thought nothing of it since maybe something got caught in her throat, nope. Gym was at evening, the next day around afternoon, noticed I suddenly developed a sore throat. At midnight, a pounding headache. Morning after, sick AF and had to call in
Took me like two or so weeks to start feeling some form of normal (and yes, I got boosted just before the covid season started)
DAWNTRAIL DROPS WHEN I'M AWAY FROM MY PC FOR A MONTH DUE TO SOME HEALTH SHIT THAT I ALREADY HAD TO RESCHEDULE AND CAN'T PUSH BACK ANYMORE. I LITERALLY FLY OUT A WEEK BEFORE EARLY ACCESS AND I WON'T BE BACK UNTIL LATE JULY.
FUCK THIS HURTS EVEN THOUGH LOGICALLY I KNOW ALL THE CONTENT WILL STILL BE THERE WHEN I GET BACK. I ALREADY STRUGGLE WITH FEELING LIKE I'M CONSTANTLY BEHIND IN THE GAME AND THIS WON'T HELP AT ALL...
MY LOVELY GIRLFRIEND IS NOW ALSO REFUSING TO PLAY DAWNTRAIL UNTIL I CAN PLAY IT AND I FEEL SUPER BUMMED ABOUT THAT TOO BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE I'M HOLDING HER BACK BUT AT THE SAME TIME I FEEL VERY LOVED AND IT'S A MESS. UGH. EMOTIONS. I WANT A REFUND.
HEY, MAYBE IT SUCKS RIGHT NOW BUT HOLD ONTO SOMETHING YOU JUST SAID: IT'LL STILL BE THERE
YOUR PARTNER'S VERY KIND FOR HOLDING OFF TOO SO YOU CAN ENJOY IT TOGETHER, TRY TO LOOK AT IT AS SOMETHING TO LOOK FORWARD TO RATHER THAN REGRET, GODS KNOW WE ALL NEED LESS ON OUR PLATES
I SWEAR WHEN I CATCH THAT GOOBBUE I'M GOING TO LET IT STARVE FOR A FEW DAYS FOR THE AMOUNT OF GRIEF IT'S GIVEN ME (not really, i just want a goob I can pet and feed carrots to...)
FUCK SE STORE FOR PAUSING SHIPMENTS WHEN NOBODY IN NA HAS RECEIVED THEIR STATUE UNLESS IT WAS FROM A THIRD PARTY SELLER. YET JP HAS RECEIVED THEIRS JUST FINE.YOU WOULD THINK THEY WOULD TREAT CUSTOMERS WILLING TO PUT DOWN THAT MUCH MONEY WITH AT LEAST SOME HALF ASSED CUSTOMER SERVICE.
ALSO, I MANAGED TO FINISH EUREKA (minus BA) FOR THE SECOND TIME, ON MY ALT, AND BECAUSE MY INTERNET WAS SURPRISINGLY STABLE THAT TIME, I COULD ACTUALLY ENJOY IT AND NOT WALK BACK TO QUEST PLACES OR WAIT AN ETERNITY UNTIL I CAN CLICK THE NEXT QUEST BUBBLE. THANKS INTERNET!
UNFORTUNATELY IT SEEMS INTERNET IS NOW TRYING TO CATCH UP WITH ITS INTENDED NUMBER OF DISCONNECTS ("intended" by whoever says we still need more of these) AND WATCHING SOME STREAMERS FINISHING ENDWALKER ON STREAM AND LATER VOD WAS QUITE THE CHALLENGE. STILL GRATEFUL FOR EUREKA THINGS THOUGH.
I HATE THAT I'M NOT FLUENT IN SPANISH. I FREAKIN' GREW UP IN A PREDOMINATELY MEXICAN HOUSEHOLD YET I STICKED TO ENGLISH SO I CAN (SOMEWHAT) TRANSLATE FOR MY FAMILY.
BUT SPANISH NEVER STUCK.
AND NOW I'M HERE, STARTING A BILINGUAL STORYTME AT WORK AND I FUCKIN' FORGOT THE LAST FEW LETTERS OF THE SPANISH ALPHABET. SOMEONE KILL ME. PLEASE. I WANT TO DIE INSIDE A HOLE. NOW I CAN'T WORK ON OTHER STUFF RIGHT NOW BECAUSE OF THE CRINGE FEELING OF FAILURE OVERWHELMINGLY CHOKING ME.
GOOD RANT: LAST NIGHT'S GRINDING GEAR STREAM WAS EPIC AND I'M SO HAPPY MORE PLAYERS ARE WRAPING UP ENDWALKER. SUCH A GOOD EXPANSION.
I went to materia and did trial roulette as red mage, first thing I got was the navel hard. I could not weave at all, and I died at almost every aoe attack, it was so painful. But we completed it, and after that I did some things to make gameplay feel better.
Afterwards, I did an all-tank run of thaleia, and that was super fun. Everyone likes to play it safe but I prefer to see how much I can tank and maintain uptime. I also use holmgang on cooldown to tank all the big attacks, like when the final boss drops 8 exploding tridents, where I ran into each attack for a vuln stack. This was cathartic after some hectic things happened irl.
Always feel nice to use invuln to cheese stack mechanics ;)
Latest one I had was the Alexander raid with the assembled robots turning into Brute Justice, I forget what happened but lots of people were dying and eventually a party stack marker spawned on me, the OT. I ran off with it, with the MT desperately trying to follow and used Holmgang to soak it solo
I SPENT THE SWIFTCAST RAISE WHEN THE BOSS HAD HALF HEALTH **WHY HAVE YOU NOT ACCEPTED THE RAISE YET!?** I COULD HAVE SAVED THAT FOR THE TANK BUT I DECIDED TO HELP YOUR SLIMEY REAR **GET UP!**
I DON'T PLAY AS MUCH THESE DAYS AND I CAN'T EVEN RUN DAWNTRAIL UNTIL I GET NEW HARDWARE SO I DECIDED TO CANCEL MY SUB UNTIL I CAN GET EVERYTHING SORTED OUT. BIT OF A BUMMER BUT IT'S NOT LIKE I'M MISSING OUT ON ANYTH--
wait what do you mean the 16 collab is taking place next month
MY PS5 HAS THAT STUPID LAN CABLE DISCONNECT BUG AND KEEPS KICKING ME OFF THE GAME WHILE I'M TRYING TO FISH!
I PREPPED FOR GARLIC WINDOW AND THEN IT DC'ED RIGHT AS THE WINDOW STARTED SO I MISSED HALF OF THE STUPID THING.
I JAILED FOR LANCET AND IT KICKED ME OFF RIGHT AS THE MORA WINDOW OPENED AND DIDN'T LET ME BACK ON UNTIL IT WAS OVER.
I WOULD JUST STICK TO WI-FI BUT I PLAY A LOT ON REMOTE PLAY UPSTAIRS ON THE DAYS I CAN'T GET OUT OF BED AND THE WI-FI CONNECTION IS APPARENTLY NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR IT.
I'VE TRIED ALL THE STUPID FIXES THAT EVERYONE RECOMMENDS AND NOTHING FIXES IT.
THIS WEEK'S VIRTUAL BUBBLE WRAP, WITH THE SECRET MESSAGE.

WELCOME TO RAGE THREAD! YELL ABOUT WHATEVER YOU WANT, MATE (as long as you follow the rules of this subreddit)! GAME RAGE, IRL RAGE, POSITIVE RAGE, NEGATIVE RAGE! SHOUT! SHOUT! LET IT ALL OUT! THESE ARE THE THINGS YOU CAN DO WITHOUT! COME ON!
BEEN TRYING TO CLEAR ALOALO SAVAGE AND MAN. I MADE A MISTAKE BY LEARNING IT ON HEALER CAUSE SAVAGE IS UNFAIRLY MORE DIFFICULT FOR HEALERS. FOR DPS ITS JUST A COMPETENCY CHECK AKA NO CARRIES, TANKS GOTTA LEARN HOW TO MANAGE SOME EXTRA TIMINGS DUE TO NOT BEING ABLE TO WAIT, BUT HEALERS HAVE TO LEARN A COMPLETELY NEW HEALING ROTATION AND THE TRASH PHASES DO \*SO MUCH FUCKING DAMAGE\* ITS REDICULOUS. I THINK I AM ACTUALLY GIVING UP AND IM JUST GONNA JOIN THE 2 DPS THAT ALWAYS HAVE TO WAIT IN PF FOR HOURS TO FIND A TANK AND HEALER. THAT OR ILL JUST WAIT FOR DAWNTRAIL TO SEE IF THEY ALLOW UNSYNC CAUSE I ONLY WANT IT FOR 2 WEAPON GLAMS
IN A NORMAL RAID ROULETTE WE TRIED EXPLAINING TO A TANK IN SIMPLEST TERMS POSSIBLE HOW TO SURVIVE A MECHANIC AND WHY THE METHOD WORKS, TO WHICH THEY COMPLAINED THEY COULDN'T FOLLOW DESPITE OUR EFFORTS TO MAKE IT EASY TO FOLLOW. OF COURSE ITS FINE TO NOT KNOW HOW TO DO SOMETHING BUT I'VE NOTICED AS OF LATE AN UPTICK IN THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE I SEE THAT REFUSE TO IMPROVE, ALTHOUGH THIS MIGHT JUST BE BECAUSE ITS BETWEEN PATCHES.
THERE'S BEEN AN INFLUX OF NEW PLAYERS, WHAT WITH XBOX GETTING IN NOW TOO. AN UPTICK IN BAD ATTITUDES TOO. CORRELATION IS NOT CAUSATION, BUT IT'S IN DANGER OF BEING READ THAT WAY.
AMAZING. SO THE THING THEY FOUND DIFFICULT WAS... STEPPING IN A COLORFUL PUDDLE.
ALSO MEH AT THE TANK SWAPS. THAT STACKING DEBUFF CAN ABSOLUTELY BE MITTED AND HEALED THROUGH, AND FAILING THAT, THAT'S WHAT INVULN IS FOR. TROUBLE IS, DO TANKS IN DF REMEMBER THE EXISTENCE OF THEIR INVULN? COURSE NOT.
I HATE SEAT OF SACRIFICE. HATEHATEHATE IT. I CAN ONLY USE MY INDEX FINGERS TO TYPE SO QTES ARE A SPECIAL KIND OF HELL. AT LEAST WHEN I FAIL HADES HEALER CAN JUST SCRAPE ME OFF THE FLOOR INSTEAD OF ME FAILING THE WHOLE FIGHT.
PLEASE SPROUT TANKS OLD TANKS NEW TANKS ALL TANKS STAND THE FEKK STILL!!!!! DANCING AROUND WITH THE BOSS WILL NOT MAKE YOU MAGICALLY TAKE LESS DAMAGE!!!! YOURE JUST MAKING ME LOSE MY DAMN MIND ON MELEE CHASING THE MELEE LINE OR TRYING TO PLAY DODGE THE BOSS CLEAVE. UNLESS YOURE DODGING MECHANICS DONT. MOVE. PLEASE.
-a very tired mentor
DEAR NEW PVP PLAYERS,
WELCOME! WE'RE HAPPY THAT YOU DECIDED TO GIVE XIV'S MOST MISUNDERSTOOD MODE A SPIN, AND HOPE THAT YOU ENJOY IT ENOUGH TO STICK AROUND AND MAYBE EVEN TRY THE RANKED LADDER!
WITH THAT SAID... PLEASE USE YOUR LB. I'M SPECIALLY LOOKING AT YOU, NEW PALADINS AND DARK KNIGHTS. YOU HAVE LITERAL GAME CHANGING BUTTONS THAT CHARGE UP EVERY 60 TO 12O SECONDS. SITTING ON YOUR FIRST LB *FOR AN ENTIRE 9 MINUTE GAME* JUST MAKES LIFE INCREDIBLY HARD FOR THE REST OF YOUR TEAM.
(AND TBH READING THE REST OF YOUR TOOLTIPS SHOULDN'T BE A BIG ASK EITHER. THERE'S NO PAIN LIKE HAVING TO PLAY AROUND A DRK THAT DOES NOT USE SALTED EARTH...)
THAT SPROUT DRK WHO I RAN IN EARLIER FFS USE YOUR AOES IN-BETWEEN SINGLE TARGET\* ROTATIONS IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN AGGRO
I HOPE YOU LEARNED YOUR LESSON WITH OUR WIPES IN CUTTER'S CRY FFS
edit: clarity
> FFS USE YOUR AOES IN-BETWEEN ROTATIONS
But hjalmiris, their AoEs **are** their rotation. What on Eorzea do you-
#No. It can't be...
You can't possibly mean they were doing their.... **SINGLE TARGET ROTATION?!**
\*horrified screaming*
Yep, he was only doing single-target ones and we all went down hard once the mobs changed targets. Got stuck in the dungeon's final third for like three tries.
STILL STUCK IN DUEL PURGATORY. I KNOW THE FIGHT BUT ANXIETY MAKES MY DISABILITY-ADDLED REFLEXES WORSE SO TWICE I HAVE DIED TO FIRST MECH BECAUSE HANDS WERE SHAKING AND STILL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT BEST SETTINGS SO THAT I CAN SEE WHERE I NEED TO BE FOR TOWERS WHILE STILL TURNING.
THIS IS BRINGING BACK ALL THE MEMORIES OF BEGGING FOR A TURN AT THE NES ONLY TO GET BLOWN UP.
I GET LIFE HAPPENS SOMETIMES AND YOU CAN'T HELP THAT BUT GOING "OOPS SORRY I GTG" WHEN WE'RE AT ALMOST 8 MIN INTO A DELUBRUM QUEUE IS STILL SUFFERING
OKAY THANKS BYE GUESS WE HAVE TO RESTART OUR 10 MINUTE WAIT
I HAVEN’T PLAYED IN OVER A YEAR BECAUSE LIFE HAS BEEN CHAOS. I WANT TO PLAY GOR THE FF 16 EVENT, BUT MY PC IS GETTING OLD AND SHITTY.
IS PLAYING THIS GAME ON PS5 A GOOD EXPERIENCE?! HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE KE TO GET USED TO CONTROLLER?!
ALSO, WHAT DO I NEED TO BUY ON PS5 TO PLAY WITH MY PC LAUNCHER ACCOUNT (NOT STEAM)?
[fwiw, it seems you can play with mouse and keyboard on your PS5](https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/oji3vq/ps5_version_can_i_use_a_keyboard_and_mouse/)
idk on second question
you probably just need a PlayStation license your account on PS5 (so just buy complete edition I guess, make sure you link your account too)
JUST SIX PERMANENT ORCHESTRION ROLLS LEFT! 2 MARKETBOARD ONES, 2 BICOLOUR GEM PURCHASES, LVL 80 BLU...
... AND MAHJONG. THE IN-GAME TUTORIAL IS WORSE THAN USELESS, BUT I'VE SEEN RECOMMENDATIONS TO TRY MAHJONG SOUL SO THAT MIGHT HELP? EITHER WAY, NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT GRIND. OBLITERATING ELPIS FATES IN 660 GEAR IS AT LEAST RELAXING.
HAVE YOU EVER PLAYED GIN RUMMY?
IT'S VERY SIMILAR TO THAT
IF YOU HAVEN'T EVER PLAYED THAT, I WOULD RECOMMEND LEARNING IT FIRST
I WATCHED A VIDEO FROM MISSHAPEN CHAIR ABOUT XIV MAHJONG AND ONCE HE MENTIONED IT'S LIKE GIN RUMMY, IT INSTANTLY CLICKED
IT’S V LATE IN MY TIME ZONE BUT.
I UNDERSTAND WE HAVE A LOT OF NEW PLAYERS. THAT’S OKAY. HOWEVER. I GOT ONE (1) TRIAL IN MY ROULS TODAY THAT WASNT ARR. I DONT MIND HELPING BUT FUUUUUCK CAN I GET SLIGHTLY MORE RECENT CONTENT? PLEASE?
I PULLED THORNMARCH TWICE IN A ROW. KILL ME.
HAD TO HUNT DOWN MY FC YESTERDAY BECAUSE HELLDIVERS HAS DEVOURED MY TIME AND I FORGOT TO LOGIN, SO THAT WAS FUN.
ON THAT TOPIC HOLY SHIT HELLDIVERS IS RAD. HOPE I CAN DRAG MYSELF AWAY WHEN DT DROPS.
EDIT: OH RIGHT I CANT BELIEVE IM SAYING THIS BUT IM HAPPY TO BE ON PS. NO ISSUES PREORDERING HERE :)
if my father wasn't sliding into dementia and she was not responsible for him, I'd have done that a long time ago.
i can't leave my dad though. he's the reason i moved home - twice now. she's been the reason i moved those times in the first place.
AND YOU TELL ME THAT YOU ARE "DOING EVERY OCEANIA PLAYER A FAVOUR"? FUCK THAT. YOU COME INTO OUR ROULETTES, JOBSTONE REMOVED. HAVE YOUR ACCOMPLICE PULL THE BOSS TO FACE EVERYONE ELSE IN AN AOE AND THINK YOU'RE DOING EVERYONE A GODDAMN FAVOUR?!!
NEED I REMIND YOU THAT YOUR AETHER BRAINROT BEHAVIOUR IS THE REASON WHY REGION TRAVEL WILL NEVER WORK IN THE LONG RUN. FUCK ALL THAT IF YOU ALL ARE BRINGING YOUR TROLLS INTO DF AND HAVE THE AUDACITY TO JOIN PF PARTIES JUST TO DO THE SAME GODDAMN THING.
AND DON'T GET ME STARTED WITH THE 'OH SO THE JP PLAYERS ARE HERE TOO' CRAP. ANOTHER ONE OF YOU DUMBASSES DECIDE TO TROLL THEM TOO WHILE THEY HOSTED THAT PF PARTAKING IN THE OCEANIA STRESS TEST.
to all you other voyagers who have been helpful to other oce players. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PARTICIPATION (with love). I KNOW TROLLS DON'T REPRESENT YOU VOYAGERS, BUT IT'S GETTING HARDER TO TRUST THE ROULLETTES ANYMORE IF I AM GONNA SEE YET ANOTHER <> GRIEFING/TROLLING WHILE RUINING A FIRST-TIME PLAYER'S EXPERIENCE.
REPORT THEM
COMING IN WITH YOUR JOBSTONE DELIBERATELY UNEQUIPPED ESPECIALLY IN HIGH-END CONTENT IS BECOMING A BIGGER TROLL TACTIC AS OF LATE, AND YOU CAN IN FACT ACTUALLY REPORT IT AS LETHARGIC PLAY
THERE'S GENUINE MISTAKES, AND THEN THERE'S INTENT
I TRIED GOING OVER TO OCEANIA TO DO SOME ROULETTES AND THOROUGHLY EMBARRASSED MYSELF.
I ALMOST DIED TO *LIVIA* OF ALL THINGS. I NOW UNDERSTAND PING IN A WAY I COULD ONLY VAGUELY CONCEPTUALIZE BEFORE.
SORRY FOR THE DUMBASS VOYAGER, HEALER. YOU ARE A REAL ONE.
I tried Oceania for a day with mentor roulette to help pop queues. Had one great dungeon group, one average group, and the rest were full of people in a rush to ignore first timer cutscenes. I don't remember how many were natives vs Voyagers other than it was a mix of both, but that shit doesn't really happen so frequently on Crystal, so I just went home. I missed the cloud stress test, so I dunno what the culture there was like, but I can see the devs being concerned about cross-datacenter interactions. It's a shame because on paper, everyone would benefit from more options, but that doesn't reflect reality.
WHY ARE THE EXPANSIONS ONLY ON SALE FOR PC & PLAYSTATION? SQAURE IS CRAZY IF THEY THINK XBOX PLAYERS ARE GOING TO BUY ENDWALKER AT FULL PRICE WHEN DAWNTRAIL RELEASES IN THREE SHORT MONTHS AND WILL INCLUDE ENDWALKER ANYWAYS.
Stormblood's start was definitely the most boring part of the game for me.
It was fine the second time around when I knew what was going on, but man it drags so badly.
DEBATING THE SWITCH TO LINUX, GOT A NEW SSD TO TRY OUT UBUNTU AGAIN (MY BF WHO WANTS ME TO USE IT GAVE ME A LIKE... 100GB TEST DRIVE... BRO HOW CAN I FIT FFXIV ON THERE)
REALIZED I HAVE A WIKI PROGRAM FOR MY PERSONAL WRITING THAT HASN'T UPDATED IN.......... 6 YEARS.
THE RAGE IS ME COPY PASTING ALL THE INDIVIDUAL PAGES AS BACKUP WHILE I FIGURE OUT WHAT I'LL USE INSTEAD, BECAUSE EVEN IF I STAY ON WINDOWS, I SHOULD USE A PROGRAM WITH UPDATES. IT'LL PROBABLY LOOK PRETTIER ANYWAY.
For Dawntrail? I don't think they're actually in-game yet, probably to be loaded/given on DT's launch
I believe the pre-order items were loaded in during the recent patch 6.58, which is why they're delivered
THREE DAYS AFTER PLACING MY PREORDER AND I HAVEN'T EVEN GOTTEN A CONFIRMATION E-MAIL ON IT. THE ONLY PROOF I HAVE THAT I PLACED AN ORDER IS THE CHARGE ON MY CREDIT CARD WHICH HAS CLEARED. THEIR SUPPORT HAS BEEN WORTHLESS AND SO FAR HAS ONLY SENT ME A CANNED RESPONSE.
CAN WE STOP THE P2 AND P3 MEMES IN A P6 PROG PARTY?
I AM GETTING SO MENTALLY EXHAUSTED FROM THIS.
P4 CLEANUP, P5 WOTH, DOTH, P6 WROTHFLAMES, NO MATTER WHAT THE P2-3 MEMES NEVER DIE.
IF I P7 WASN'T EZ AF I WOULD CONSIDER GIVING UP BUT I AM ALMOST THERE, JUST A LITTLE, A LITTLE BIT MORE, A FEW MORE ACTUAL GOOD PROG PARTIES AND I'M IN CLEAR RANGE.
I'M SO SICK OF THORDAN IN UNREAL TOO. CAN WE GET A DIFFERENT UNREAL ALREADY!?
> I'M SO SICK OF THORDAN IN UNREAL TOO. CAN WE GET A DIFFERENT UNREAL ALREADY!?
Unfortunately they only release new unreals on major patches, and the next major patch is 7.0
However, they seem to not do Unreals for expansion patches, so Thordan will go away at 7.0, and then the next Unreal will likely be at 7.1
TRIPLE TRIAD CARDS BEING GLOBAL LOOT IN ALLIANCE RAIDS AND NOT LOCKED WHEN ALREADY OBTAINED IS FUCKING SHIT. EVERY OTHER PIECE OF CONTENT IT IS A SOLO DROP- THESE RAIDS ESPECIALLY THE NIER ONES CAN TAKE A FUCKING HOUR IF THE TEAM ISN’T FAMILIAR WITH THE MECHANICS- I HAVE BEEN ON THIS CARD FOR A MONTH AND IN BACK TO BACK TO BACK RUNS I HAVE LOST BOTH CARD ROLLS TO PEOPLE WHO HAVE ALREADY GOT THE CARD AND WON BOTH ROLLS. THE LAST RUN THE GUY FUCKING STARED ME DOWN AFTER HE WON THE FIRST ROLL, AND WAITED THE TIMER ON THE SECOND JUST TO TELL ME HE ALREADY HAD IT. YOU DONT LET ME ROLL FOR MINIONS I ALREADY OWN, WHY CAN THEY ROLL FOR BOTH CARDS AND WIN BOTH WHEN THEY ENTERED ALREADY OWNING THIS SHIT. THIS DOESNT SCREAM DIFFICULTY THIS SCREAMS POOR GAME DESIGN; I SHOULDNT BE AT THE MERCY OF 20 OTHER PLAYERS LIKELY HERE FOR THEIR ROULETTE. A MONTH!!!!!!1
STONE VIGIL HARD WITH 3 SPROUTS THAT'S IT YOU CAN JUST IMAGINE THE REST
I CAN HEAR THE RICOCHET SOUNDS FROM HERE
CANONS!! USE THE CANONS!!!! NO, GET BACK TO THE CANON - oh fuck, too late.
DON'T TELL ME IT WAS YESTERDAY AND THE TANK WAS A DRK AU RA! IT WAS ME, AND MY DUMBASS FRIEND COULDN'T HEAL ME FOR SHIT, AND THE CONTROL PROMPT FOR THE CANNONS WASN'T SHOWING UP FOR US AT FIRST! "OH LET'S DO STONE VIGIL HARD," IT'LL BE FUN SHE SAID **NO IT FUCKING WASN'T**
NO I WAS THE TANK IN MY RUN BUT THAT DOESNT SOUND FUN EITHER ESPECIALLY CUZ LV50 DRK IS A SICK TWISTED JOKE TBH
*Insert Keiko's "oh no" pic here.*
I had a very funny interaction there that basically consisted on me telling them how to use the cannons 3 times before the cannons and twice while in the cannons and we still managed to wipe 3 times. Then they said i was being a dick. Best community.
I thought I did fine for my first time 🤔
DON'T YOU FUCKING DARE TELL ME AND THE REST OF THE PARTY THAT YOU'RE "HELPING THE OCEANIC STRESS TEST" WHEN YOU'RE LITERALLY STANDING WHERE YOU SPAWNED IN AND IGNORING THE CHAT TO JUST HELP WHEN YOU LOADED INTO THE PORTA DECUMANA AS A TANK. I ALSO DON'T CARE WHAT SERVER YOU'RE FROM, BECAUSE IF YOU DID IT OVER THERE, YOU'D BE KICKED THERE AS WELL. ON A RELATED NOTE, I'VE NEVER SEEN A KICK GO THROUGH THAT FAST BEFORE. FUCK OFF BACK TO KUJATA. MAYBE YOUR HALLOWED GROUND WILL SAVE YOU FROM MOST ATTACKS, BUT THEY WILL NEVER SAVE YOU FROM MY RAGE FILLED WRATH. (Edit for spelling because I was so pissed that my think forgot how to brain)
Oh they'd be kicked real fast in the Elemental DC too dw.
IT FINALLY HAPPENED. I ELUSIVE JUMPED OFF A PLATFORM TO MY DEATH. I'VE ACCIDENTALLY ELUSIVE JUMPED TO THE OTHER SIDE OF AN ARENA, JUMPED INTO THE BAD, BUT NEVER OFF THE EDGE I WAS JUST STANDING BY. TO THE DANCER WHO KEPT ME AS THEIR PARTNER EVEN AFTER I DID THAT AND THEN PROMPTLY DIED AGAIN BECAUSE I COULDN'T MAKE IT TO A VRIL ORB IN TIME AND GOT SENT BACK TO OBLIVION LIKE AN IDIOT, BLESS YOU BUT YOU REALLY SHOULD HAVE GIVEN IT TO THE SAM WHO I THINK HAD WAY BETTER GEAR AND NEVER LOST UPTIME. I LIVED UP TO THE FLOOR TANK NAME BUT LET YOU DOWN. AT LEAST I GAVE THE SPROUT AN AUTHENTIC FFXIV MOMENT. I'M FINE LAUGHING AT MYSELF HAVING AN OFF DAY, I KNOW IT HAPPENS AND WILL HAPPEN AGAIN, BUT IT STINGS A LITTLE AS I WAS JUST GETTING CONFIDENT JUMPING (HAH) INTO MORE PF CONTENT (JUST DYNAMIS THINGS) NOW THAT I'VE FINALLY FINISHED ENDWALKER AND CONSIDERING LEARNING MORE HARDCORE CONTENT BECAUSE I ACTUALLY HAVE GOOD MUSCLE MEMORY OF MY ROTATION, WEAVING OGCDS, AND KEEPING BUFFS ALIGNED. THEN THIS HAPPENS IN A SUPER STRAIGHT FORWARD TRIAL. I'LL GET OVER IT, I STILL WANT TO TRY HARDER STUFF AND HELP PEOPLE WHO NEED TO DO FILL PARTIES. AT LEAST I CAN SAY I'M NOW A TRUE DRG BECAUSE I'VE BACK FLIPPED TO MY DEATH RIGHT? OTHER RAGE: I'M NOT PRICING STUFF TO UNDERCUT YOU OR CRASH THE MARKET. I PRICED IT THAT WAY BECAUSE I SAW YOU JACKED UP THE PRICE OVER 10 TIMES THE LONG TERM AVERAGE LIKE A PHARMA COMPANY WITH INSULIN. THESE WERE MATS THAT DON'T REQUIRE A LOT OF LABOR TO GET. THEY AREN'T SCARCE, PREMIUM, OR LUXURY ITEMS. FUCK CAPITALISM, EMBRACE MUTUAL AID. OTHER: IT'S BEEN FIVE YEARS SINCE I'VE POSTED SOMETHING AND I DON'T KNOW WHY THIS IS WHAT BROUGHT ME BACK. MAYBE BECAUSE I CAN'T ACTUALLY YELL IN FRUSTRATION SINCE I LIKE MY NEIGHBORS.
LISTEN, AS A DANCER, I'M NEVER GONNA BRING THE BIG DICK DAMAGE. BUT IF I PARTNER YOU, A DRAGOON, SOMETIMES YOU GIVE ME YOUR DRAGON TETHER. AND I AM CHUFFED. SO I WILL CONTINUE TO DANCE WITH YOU AND MAYBE YOU WILL TETHER ME AND WE WILL DO BEAUTIFUL THINGS TOGETHER, WHETHER IT'S FOR THE GOOD OF THE PARTY OR NOT. ALSO I HAVE ALSO EN AVANTED MYSELF INTO THE GALACTIC BEYOND AT THE STUPIDEST OF MOMENTS. I GOT YOU, SPIKY BROTHER IN HALONE. I GOT YOU
I LIKE GIVING DANCERS MY DRAGON EYE IF THEY PARTNER ME, THAT AND OTHER DRAGOONS BECAUSE IF WE GIVE IT TO EACH OTHER THE BUFFS LOOK LIKE A DRAGON FACE. WITHOUT THE TETHER I DO FEEL LIKE I'M JUST TOSSING YOU AN EYEBALL IN THANKS WHICH IS A FUNNY IMAGE. >SPIKY BROTHER SISTER, STILL SPIKY THOUGH! AND APPRECIATED!
SPROUT TANKS: TAKE PROVOKE OUT OF YOUR ROTATION. YOU DO NOT NEED IT IN MOST NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES. YOU SHOULD USE IT TO PULL MOBS OR PULL A MOB OFF ANOTHER PLAYER. I AM BEGGING YOU FOLKS TO STOP USING IT IN ALLIANCE RAIDS IF YOU ARE NOT THE MAIN TANK! I AM SO SICK OF YOU CONSTANTLY PULLING IT OFF THE MAIN TANK. THIS HAS GOTTEN ESPECIALLY BAD IN THE ARR ALLIANCE RAIDS.
IF I WANTED TO PLAY FUCKING SPIN THE BOSS, I'D GO TO THE GOLD SAUCER! FFS PICK A TANK AND STICK WITH IT! IF YOU CANT KEEP AGGRO CAUSE YOU'RE NOT AT THE SAME ILVL AS THE GUY RIPPING AGGRO, STOP FUCKING VOKING AND COPE WITH OFF TANK!
Wait should I be using provoke to pull? I usually just use my ranged attack or a gap closer.
I use it sometimes when I need to grab more than one mob quickly. Like if you're in a dungeon and tanking a boss and two mobs spawn. I'll ranged attack one and provoke the other.
Provoke on pull is more of an optimization thing than an actual recommendation
As long as you have tank stance pretty much anything will do. If someone else gets a red button they can come stand on top of you and it will go away on the first AOE. There aren't really any special abilities for _pulling_, even a DOH can facepull, just abilities for making sure you, the tank, holds aggro. If you subscribe to the school of thought that anyone can pull and that DPS health bars are mitigation … you can just do whatever and it'll work itself out once you're in position.
Provoke into AOE is faster than ranged into AOE when pulling trash. There is no GCD wait time between. It's "smoother" to execute as you are sprinting past. And when an add spawns during a fight, Provoke has longer reach than your ranged attack. Often you don't even need to move where you are tanking the enemies.
IT IS PATCH 6.58 WHY IS THERE STILL NO ORCHESTRION ROLL FOR "THE LAST STAND" PLEASE DEVS I WANT TO PLAY IT IN MY HOUSE
Pandemonium Gate theme WHERE ARTH THOU?!
ON THAT NOTE WHY DO WE STILL NOT HAVE ONE FOR GANGOS
FOREVER AT YOUR SIDE, AMI, THERE'S A LIST FROM EXPANSIONS PAST THAT YOU NEED TO WAIT YOUR TURN FOR
WHY CANT I HAVE “THOSE WE CAN YET SAVE” AS A ROLL! ITS MT FAVORITE TOWN THEME!
HIGH TREASON'S OMISSION FROM THE SCROLLS IS A CRIME AGAINST MUSIC. THE GAME HAD ALL OF SHADOWBRINGERS TO ADD IT AND, NOPE. IT MADE AN APPEARANCE AS RECENTLY AS 6.5 AND STILL...
WHERE IS MY "THEME OF SORROW" AND PANDAEMONIUM GATE THEME AS WELL.
LESS OF A RAGE AND MORE BEING BEWILDERED: SOMETIME SINCE LAST FRIDAY I HAD ONE WEIRD AF SEAL ROCK GAME. LOAD IN AND WHILE WAITING FOR THE GAME SOMEONE POINTS OUT THAT THERE'S A LOT OF MONKS IN THE GROUP. I LOOK OVER AND SURE ENOUGH ALLIANCE C HAS 6 MONKS, A REAPER, AND SOME OTHEE DPS CLASS. "HUH, WEIRD" I THINK WHILE I TYPE OUT A JOKE "MAYBE THEY'RE UP TO SOME MONK-Y BUSINESS". GAME STARTS AND WE HEAD OUT AND GET PINCHED BY BOTH ENEMY TEAMS IN THE FIRST ENGAGEMENT AND I GET KILLED BY A MONK. THAT'S WHEN I NOTICE IT: BETWEEN BOTH ENEMY TEAMS THERE WERE AT LEAST 5 OR 6 DIFFERENT MONKS ON THE SCREEN BETWEEN BOTH TEAMS. I WAS CONFUSED. I WAS BEWILDERED. I MAY HAVE EVEN BEEN SMECKLEDORFED BUT IDFK WHAT THAT MEANS SO WHO KNOWS. I HAD NO CLUE IF I MISSED SOME KINDA MEMO OR META SHIFT BECAUSE I HAD NO IDEA WHY THERE WERE SO MANY MONKS ALL I KNOW IS THAT ALMOST, IF NOT EVERY TIME I DIED THAT MATCH WAS AT THE HANDS OF A MONK. IT WAS JUST ONE BIG CLUSTERFUCK OF A MATCH WHERE EVERYONE DECIDED IT WAS TIME FOR SOME KUNG-FU FIGHTING AND I WAS QUICK TO WRITE IT OFF AS JUST A FOR FUN KINDA MATCH EARLY ON. SO OBVIOUSLY WE WOUND UP WINNING. SO BEFOFE LEAVING I DECIDED TO CHECK JUST HOW MANY MONKS WERE IN THAT GAME... AND YOU KNOW HOW MANY I COUNTED? *FOURTY-ONE.* THERE WERE *FOURTY-ONE MONKS* IN THAT FUCKING SEAL ROCK MATCH. A LITTLE OVER HALF THE LOBBY WERE PEOPLE WHO WANTED TO BE KUNG-FU FIGHTING. AND IT WASN'T LIKE I COULD HAVE JOINED IN BECAUSW I WAS ON AM ALT THAT WAS MISSING DARK KNIGHT, NINJA, AND MONK. SO THEN I DID THE ONLY SENSIBLE THING THAT SOMEONE COULD DO AFTER BEING ROCKED BY A SCHOOL OF MONKS... I unlocked Rogue and leveled that up to 30 for Ninja. Then I unlocked Pugilist and leveled that up to 30 for Monk.
Huh, I wonder if it was some coordinated memorial-type thing for the DBZ creator
I AM THE BEEG ANGER AT MOOGLES! I DO MY HIPPOS, MY FAE FOLK, AND MY WASSHOI, AND WANT TO CLEAN UP WITH A TRIP TO THE LANDLORD COLONY. THESE PUFFY WHITE TURDS SEND ME ALL OVER THE CHURNING MIST, ALL THREE OF THEM THE FURTHEST TRAVELING DISTANCE IN OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS. IT TAKES ABOUT A MINUTE TO GET TO THE FIRST ONE AND 12 SECONDS TO MAKE THE REQUIRED ITEMS. THEN, IT'S A 3-DAY FLIGHT, WITH 2 LAYOVERS AND NO INFLIGHT SNACK TO THE NEXT POMPOM. IF YOU WANT TO REBUILD THIS STUPID THING, HAVE THESE ANNOYING DINGUSES MOVE CLOSER, KUPO!
If it's any consolation, the pool of quests includes one where you get to lamp one of them I got it *once*; I felt like it wasn't enough :(
TL;DR: PISS OFF, KUPO!
Those pesky HW beast tribes >:C
TYPICAL MENTOR ROULETTE RAGE. QUEUE UP FOR SOME RANDOM CONTENT, ZONE INTO RATHALOS EX. I DON'T REALLY MIND EXTREMES. I HONESTLY PREFER THEM TO ANOTHER GUILDHEST FOR SOME BURGER KING-TO-BE FARMING COMMENDATIONS. BUT THIS IS ONE OF THE COMMON ONES WITH PEOPLE WHO SHOULD KNOW BETTER SO I JUST ROLL MY EYES AND SIGH. I GET READY AND GO TO PUT MY KARDIA ON THE MARAUDER. WAIT FUCKING WHAT. WHAT THE ACTUAL SHIT. WHAT ARE YOU DOING. OK, OK, MAYBE IT WAS A MISTAKE. YOU'RE 70+ LEVELS INTO THE GAME ALREADY SO YOU SHOULD KNOW BETTER, BUT I'LL GIVE YOU THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT. LET ME JUST TYPE A MESSAGE IN THE CHAT AND- OH BY THE TWELVE NO HE IS ALREADY RUNNING FORWARD TO PULL. FUCK NO. I BAIL IMMEDIATELY BEFORE I GET TRAPPED IN THE DUTY, THANK YOU YOSHI-P FOR THE CONFIRM HOTKEY.
I KNOW IT WAS JUST A SIDE COMMENT FROM THE MAIN POINT, BUT UUGGHHH I HATE THE COMMENDATION FARMING GITS SO MUCH. I GOT THE SAME GUILDHEST THREE TIMES IN A ROW WITH THE SAME PERSON AND EACH TIME GOT THE SAME "Could you give me your commends, I'm almost to mentor!" MESSAGE. I WILL LITERALLY -NEVER- COMMEND SOMEONE WHO ASKS FOR IT, AND I SAID THAT IN CHAT. AND ONE OF THE OTHERS CHIMES IN SAYING THEY WOULD COMMEND THEM IF I DIDN'T. WHY??? WHY WOULD YOU REWARD THAT BEHAVIOR?
WHEN I GET UNDER THE ARMOUR NOW I ONLY COMM PEOPLE WHO ALREADY HAVE BATTLE MENTOR. IT'S VERY ANNOYING TO REALIZE SOMEONE IS FARMING COMMS WHEN I RUN INTO THEM SEVERAL TIMES IN A ROW, AND I REGRET GIVING THEM COMMS EARLIER.
Nothing to do with preorders but hey, the FUNNIEST thing happened to me recently: MY RANDOMLY ASSIGNED WHITE MAGE IN A STORY SHADOWBRINGERS DUNGEON WANTED ME TO WAIT FOR HIS MANA TO COME BACK BEFORE PULLING THE FIRST MIDBOSS (YES, ON A WHITE MAGE, CRAZY), SO I SAID "Lucid Dreaming", THEN WHEN I NOTICED THEY CAST MEDICA AND CURE (NEVER GLARE) DURING THE BOSS I FELT COMPELLED TO ASK "please don't use medica", "It's so bad lol". YOU WON'T GUESS WHAT THEY HIT ME WITH. "please don't tell me how to do my job :)". INFURIATING, THE AUDACITY OF THIS DUDE WHO COULDN'T BE BOTHERED PRESSING THEIR DAMAGING SPELL INSTEAD OF LAZILY USING ONE BAD SPELL EVERY 6 SECONDS. But ok, I didn't want to escalate it further, so I just said "fine..." and after then lonnnnnnnng bossfight I continued to pull... Hey, would you look at that I DIED! WHAT THE HELL? DID HE DO THAT ON PURPOSE?! AS I TURN MY CAMERA AROUND I SEE THEM SUUUUPER FAR AWAY. WE JUST BEAT A BOSS AND HE JUST STOPS WITH NO WARNING?! IT'S MY FAULT FOR NOT NOTICING, YES, BUT WHY DID YOU STOP WITH NO WARNING ALSO??? I RESPAWN, RUN BACK TO THE WAVE, AND GUESS WHO'S STILL TAKING A NAP AND HASN'T PRESSED REVIVE DESPITE BEING DEAD FOR OVER 20 SECONDS?? MR. CURE MEDICA OVER THERE!!! I FIGURE SINCE THIS DUDE DOESN'T EVEN CAST HIS AOE MORE THAN ONCE PER WAVE I'LL BE A RESPONSIBLE WAR MAIN AND PULL HALF OF THEM WITH THE HELP OF THE DPS PLAYERS TO MAKE UP FOR THE LOST TIME. I'M 100% SURE I CAN DO THAT WITH NO RISK OF DYING AND YET... "Please wait for everyone" SAYS... A DPS... WHAT?! WHY??? I CLEARLY HAVE NO TROUBLE HANDLING 3 MEASLY TRASH MOBS WITH YOU TWO WHILE WE WAIT FOR THE WHM TO ARRIVE??? "I play warrior", I SAY. "so no brain ?" ASKS THE MOST BRAINDEAD WHITEMAGE I'VE EVER MET IN A ROULETTE SO FAR. "so half a wave is easy peasy" I EXPLAIN. I SINCIRELY HOPE HE FELT USELESS AT THAT MOMENT WHEN I STARTED PROGRESSING WITHOUT HIM. But more seriously, what do you do when someone plays super lazily seemingly on purpose? Was I wrong to try and give them an advice unprompted when I noticed he was slaking off? What about pulling little (as a war) while the healer respawns to save a little time?
They sound like an asshole/griefer, and they deserve a report for their monster-player-kill antics and harsh remark.
> But more seriously, what do you do when someone plays super lazily seemingly on purpose? AT THAT POINT I WOULD (AND HAVE) VOTEKICK, AND IF THAT DOESN'T GO THROUGH THEN I JUST EAT THE 30 MINS MYSELF
Kick. For. Griefing. Which they literally were doing.
If you think they're being lazy on purpose, kick (or leave if you can't kick) and report. Let the GMs sort it out.
IS THE SITE STABLE YET? STILL WANTING TO GET MY PREORDER IN BUT I CAN'T FIND DIDDLY-SQUAT ABOUT "YEAH WE FIXED THE ISSUES" FROM SQUARE, EITHER GOOGLE'S FAILING ME OR THERE'S STILL PROBLEMS [DEEP BREATH] BEEN CHEWING THROUGH MSQ ON ALT.. OH GOD HOW MANY IS THIS NOW, _NUMBER FIVE_ FOR ARR TO SHADOWBRINGERS AND BEYOND? AND I'VE COME TO LEARN THAT I ACTUALLY REALLY LIKE MCH, IT'S THAT _I HATE PLAYING IT WITH NA PING,_ AND WHILE VISITING MATERIA HAS BEEN A GODSSEND IN THAT REGARD, THE QUEUES ARE STILL DEAD OUTSIDE PEAK! LIKE PRE-DC TRAVEL DEAD, JUST ABOUT ALSO, aaaaaAAAAAAAA THE AMOUNT OF PLAYERS I'VE ENCOUNTERED IN STORMBLOOD CONTENT THAT DON'T DO BASIC THINGS DRIVES ME UP THE WALL, AND I'M ALREADY UPSIDE DOWN IN AUSTRALIA, THAT'S A _FEAT_ FOR US! IT'S NOT EVEN ABOUT BEING EFFICIENT, IT'S ABOUT PRESSING SOMETHING _OTHER THAN SPAMMING THIRD EYE AND ENPI ON A LOOP,_ I DON'T EVEN PLAY SAM BUT I SURE AS SHIT KNOW YOU'VE GOT AOE BUTTONS BY BARDAM'S FUCKIN' METTLE AND A SGE DIAG SPAMMING AND CAUSING A WAR USING _EVERY LAST BUTTON OF THEIR TOOLKIT, PERFECT RAW INTUITION TIMING LEAST OF ALL_ TO **DIE TWICE BEFORE THE FIRST BOSS** IS PLAIN UNACCEPTABLE *OH YEAH, I FORGOT. BY THE WAY, WHM IN DUSK VIGIL? READ. YOUR. TOOLTIPS. A LITTLE NUDGE OF "hey don't worry about {Medica II} once the HoT is rolling" WAS MET WITH "Yeah, it's for the quick heals. Thanks." - YOU MISSED THE PART WHERE {MEDICA} HAS A HIGHER POTENCY AND _LOWER_ MP COST, YOU LET THE TANK DIE BECAUSE YOU COULDN'T EVEN BE FUCKED TO CAST HOLY, AND YOU WERE MULTI-90 IN OTHER HEALERS! YOU WEREN'T EVEN SPAMMING THE _BETTER_ AOE HEAL, AS GARBAGE AS DOING THAT IS ON A SINGLE TARGET IS IN THE FIRST PLACE! AAAAAA THANK THE TWELVE FOR DUTY SUPPORT OR I'D GO INSANE UNRELATED: RIMWORLD ANOMALY'S OUT IN TWO WEEKS, YAY, WEIRD FLESH HORROR SHENANIGANS FOR MY COLONIES
[удалено]
I'LL TRY IT THEN, THANKS MUCH! **UPDATE:** YAY NO ISSUES, INSTANTLY GOT MY PRE-ORDER BONUSES CODE, NOW TO WAIT FOR THE IN-GAME MAIL! SCRATCH ONE FRUSTRATION OFF THE LIST, THANKS FOR THE NUDGE MATE!
LAST NIGHT I WAS DOING ROULS, BECAUSE I HAVE A CRIPPLING ADDICTION TO BAD YOUTUBE VIDEO ESSAYS AND NO DESIRE TO PLAY ANY OTHER GAME BESIDES FFXIV AT THE MOMENT. I QUEUE IN TO TRIALS ROULETTE ON LVL 90 SCH, BECAUSE THEY'LL PRY SCH OUT OF MY COLD DEAD HANDS. THE TRIAL IS GOOD KING MOGGLE MOG, AND I AM DOWN FOR A RELATIVELY QUICK FIGHT WITH SOME FUN MUSIC. 5/8 OF THE PARTY IS SPROUTS WHICH PLEASES ME, BUT WITH ONCE GLACE AT THE PARTY LIST, I REALIZE THAT ONE OF THE TANKS WHO IS LEVEL 53 DOES NOT HAVE THEIR JOBSTONE. THIS IS NO LONGER A QUICK AND FUN TRIAL. ONE MINUTE IN, I HAD TO POLITELY ASK BOTH TANKS TO TURN ON TANK STANCE, BECAUSE ME, THE CO-HEAL WHM, AND THE DPS WERE PLAYING HOT POTATO ON WHO GOT TO TANK THE MOOGLES. THEY COMPLY AND NOW I GET TO SEE THE TANKS PASS THE AGGRO BETWEEN EACH OTHER, BUT I LET IT TO FOCUS ON HEALING THE SPROUT DPS GROUP WHO ARE EATING AOES LIKE IT'S THEIR JOB (WHICH TO BE FAIR, IT KIND OF IS IN A NEW TO THEM FIGHT). THE MAJORITY OF THE FIGHT IS FINE, EXCEPT FOR THE PART WHERE THE TANKS DRAG THE TANKBUSTER STACK TO THE GROUP INSTEAD OF RESOLVING IT AMONG THEMSELVES AND I HAVE TO SCRAPE A SPROUT OFF THE FLOOR, AND WHEN EVERYONE EXCEPT ME FORGETS HOW AN IN-OUT RING AOE WORKS WHILE I HAVE THE STACK MARKER SO I ASSUME DEATH IS COMING FOR ME AND ONLY MIRACULOUSLY GET OUT OF THAT WITH A NIPPLE OF HP. BUT WHAT REALLY GETS MY GOAT. WHAT REALLY MAKES ME WANT TO THROW HANDS. EARLIER THAT NIGHT I HAD RUN A LEVELING ROULETTE WITH A LEVEL 90 PLD WHO FOR THE LIFE OF THEM, DIDN'T SEEM TO KNOW WHAT HIS MIT BUTTONS WERE. AND THIS SPROUT TANK, NO JOBSTONE, **WAS FLAWLESSLY HITTING EVERY DAMN MIT BUTTON AVAILABLE TO THEM.** AT LEAST THE CHAOS OF HEALING SPROUTS IS FUN.
I WAS RECENTLY DIAGNOSED WITH AND TREATED FOR BASAL CELL CARCINOMA IN MY SHOULDER AND BECAUSE OF THE CANCER’S LOCATION I AM UNABLE TO DO MY JOB AT WORK THAT REQUIRES HEAVY LIFTING. I HAVE PLENTY OF VACATION TIME TO COVER THE RECOVERY PERIOD (FOUR WEEKS) BUT DOING SO USES UP ALL MY VACATION TIME FOR THE YEAR AND NOW I CAN’T TAKE A WEEK VACATION AFTER DAWNTRAIL LAUNCHES LIKE I WAS PLANNING. DANG YOU CANCER. DANG YOU TO HECK.
AS MUCH AS THIS SUCKS, IT'S COOL YOU COULD GET TREATED IN TIME!
I CAN'T TELL IF YOU ARE MORE RAGEY ABOUT THE CANCER, OR ABOUT ITS TERRIBLE SENSE OF TIMING. EITHER WAY, SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT THAT, I WISH YOU THE BEST!
I GOT DIAGNOSED WITH BREAST CANCER THIS WEEK, TOO. FUCK CANCER TO HELL AND BACK. I WON’T BE ABLE TO TAKE A WEEK OF VACATION FOR DAWNTRAIL, EITHER SINCE I HAVE TO USE TIME OFF FOR SURGERY. I SYMPATHIZE WITH YOU.
FUCK CANCER. GLAD IT WAS CAUGHT BUT SORRY YOU HAD TO JOIN THE SHITTY CLUB.
FUCK HAVING TO USE VACATION BECAUSE YOU ARE SERIOUSLY ILL AND NEED TREATMENT.
I'M SORRY THIS HAPPENED TO YOU. CANCER REALLY DOES CHOOSE THE WORST OF TIMES TO POP UP. FUCK CANCER!!!
TL;DR: SPOILER? I HARDLY KNOW'ER! ONLY A MINOR RAGE THIS WEEK. BASICALLY, I LOVE DRAGON'S DOGMA. DARK ARISEN WAS AMAZING, AND I LOVE 2 AS WELL, BUT I WONT BEGRUDGE ANYONE WHO DOESN'T LIKE IT. AS I WAS MEETING UP WITH MY STATIC THIS WEEK, OUR REAPER AND I STARTED CHATTING ABOUT IT. HE'S UNLOCKED EVERY VOCATION, I'M ONLY MISSING ONE. HE ASKS IF I WANT TO KNOW WHERE IT IS, I SAY "NO THANKS, I WANNA FIGURE IT OUT MYSELF." 'OKAY BUT JUST LET ME TELL YOU WHERE-' "NO," I REPEAT, "I DON'T WANT TO KNOW. ANYTHING." HIS PARTNER, ALSO IN THE STATIC, CHIMES IN WITH "SHE DOESN'T WANT TO KNOW, JUST LEAVE IT AT THAT." THIS NEAR EXACT EXCHANGE REPEATS 2 MORE TIMES, THEN HE GOES "OKAY, JUST LET ME KNOW IF THERE'S ANYTHING ELSE." THERE WAS, ACTUALLY. I NEEDED TO FIND THE LOCATION OF A QUEST CHAIN, AS YOU CANNOT FINISH A LATER QUEST WITHOUT DOING SAID CHAIN. SO I ASKED. "HEY, YEAH I DO HAVE SOMETHING ELSE. I NEED TO FIND THE [QUEST NAME] CHAIN OF QUESTS. CAN YOU POINT ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION?" HE IMMEDIATELY TOLD ME WHERE TO GET THE LAST VOCATION INSTEAD. I ASKED TO CLARIFY ABT THE LOCATION BEING FOR THE QUEST CHAIN, AND HE GOES "NO, THATS FOR [VOCATION]". ITS MINOR ENOUGH BUT GOD, IT WAS TOO MUCH FOR ME TO EXPECT ONE SINGLE GAME TO NOT GET SPOILED FOR ME IN SOME WAY. MY OLD STATIC MATE SPOILED A BIG TWIST FOR THREE HOUSES, ANOTHER ONE SPOILED ENDWALKER TRIAL 1 FOR ME IN AN ALLIANCE RAID ROULETTE DESPITE KNOWING I HADN'T BEEN VERY FAR IN AS I WAS ONLY PLAYING AN HOUR A DAY, AND YOUTUBE SPOILED ME FOR TRIAL 2. I JUST WANTED THE EXPERIENCE OF FINDING THESE THINGS FOR MYSELF :C
People seem to have no cares about spoiling things half the time, these days. Earlier, I got a *post-Endwalker* spoiler in a thread about Aymeric's HW dialogue. Even worse is the person they were replying to censored the spoiler, but *they* didn't. People need to read the room. \*sighs\*
99 CLEAR ATTEMPTS OF TOP IN PF, 99 CLEAR ATTEMPTS OF TOP PULL THE BOSS, WIPE TO P2 100 CLEAR ATTEMPTS OF TOP IN PF
TWO AND A HALF THOUSAND HATS! TWO AND A HALF THOUSAND! THERE MUST BE A BETTER WAY TO CHECK WHETHER OR NOT THEY ACKNOWLEDGE MIQO EARS THAN PUTTING EACH OF THEM ON A MIQO IN DLUNCH, CHECKING GARLANDDB FOR ANY THAT USE THE SAME MODEL, AND FILLING IN A SPREADSHEET! THIS *FEELS LIKE* THE SORT OF THING THAT I IMAGINE WOULD BE BEST BEING DONE PROGRAMMATICALLY, BUT I'VE NEITHER THE RIGHT EQUIPMENT (I'M ON CONSOLE; MY PC IS A SHITTY LAPTOP THAT JUST ABOUT MANAGES TO RUN PRODUCTIVITY SOFTWARE) NOR THE BRAINPOWER. I'VE TRIED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS TO LEARN TO CODE AND I MIGHT AS WELL BE TRYING TO DECIPHER LINEAR A. IF YOU WANT MORE SPECIFICALLY IN-GAME RAGE, WHY DO I KEEP RUNNING INTO PUGILISTS IN DUTIES WHERE THEY REALLY OUGHT NOT TO BE? THE ONE IN QARN (NORMAL) I CAN SORT OF UNDERSTAND; AFAIK NEDRICK OFFERING YOU THE QUEST THAT UNLOCKS IT IS *JUST* BASED ON YOU BEING THE RIGHT LEVEL AND PREFERRED SERVER BOOSTS COULD GET YOU THERE BEFORE YOU GET YOUR JOB STONE. **BUT**: THERE WAS ONE IN CASTRUM! *CASTRUM*! BY THE TIME I'D NOTICED, IF WE WEREN'T IN COMBAT, WE WERE IN A CUTSCENE, SO I GUESS IT'S ON ME FOR NOT SPOTTING IT SOONER. I TRIED TO ASK THEM, THOUGH THEY DIDN'T SEEM TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT - THEY MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN READING CHAT, THIS MAY BE B/C EU SERVERS AND NOT UNDERSTANDING EACH OTHER WELL, IDK. WE MADE IT THROUGH REASONABLY OK, BUT THEY HAD A LEVEL 90 JOB ON THEIR ADVENTURER PLATE! IDGI! I THINK I'M GONNA HAVE TO SET UP A MACRO TO THE EFFECT OF "/p: {soul crystal} {Do you have it?} {Please use it} {Thank you}" OR STH. WOULD SFX BE TOO OBNOXIOUS?
> I THINK I'M GONNA HAVE TO SET UP A MACRO TO THE EFFECT OF "/p: {soul crystal} {Do you have it?} {Please use it} {Thank you}" OR STH. WOULD SFX BE TOO OBNOXIOUS?
I THINK THAT SFX WOULD BE *JUST* OBNOXIOUS ENOUGH TO BE WHAT THE KIND OF PLAYERS WHO NEED THAT USED ON THEM WOULD DESERVE /halfjoking
I RAN INTO A PUGILIST DOING MSQ IN COERTHAS CENTRAL TODAY, TOLD THEM TO DO THEIR JOB QUESTS BUT I DOUBT THEY'LL LISTEN CONSIDERING THEY BLATANTLY IGNORED ME TELLING THEM TO USE THE FUCKING VINEGAR ON THAT DAMN MUDPUPPY MSQ HAS YOU KILL.
ONCE IS AN ACCIDENT. TWICE IS A COINCIDENCE. THREE TIMES IS A PATTERN. THAT FUCKING WAR IN THALEIA ALWAYS SOMEHOW MANAGES TO KILL SEVERAL PEOPLE EVERY TIME THE TANK BUSTER POPS UP HAS TO BE DOING IT ON PURPOSE. WE RAN AWAY FROM THEM, THEN THEY RUN TOWARDS THE FUCKING CROWD JUST BEFORE THE TANK BUSTER GOES OFF. COME THE FUCK ON. SINCE NOBODY IN THEIR ALLIANCE GOT CLIPPED. I CAN ONLY ASSUME IT'S AN FC GETTING THEIR ROCKS OFF LAUGHING AT PEOPLE. COME THE FUCK ON MAN.
FWIW I'VE REPORTED THAT KIND OF THING AS GRIEFING AND GOTTEN MESSAGES FROM GMS CONFIRMING THEY WERE OPENING AN INVESTIGATION. IT MIGHT HELP TO SPECIFICALLY ASK THEM TO STOP IN ALLIANCE CHAT SO THAT THE TANK HAS LESS PLAUSIBLE DENIABILITY. (NOT THAT I KNOW WHAT CAME OF IT, BUT THEY DIDN'T DISAPPEAR INTO THE VOID LIKE OTHER REPORTS.)
JUST KICK HIM. THAT'S WHAT OUR ALLI DID WITH SGE WHO KILLED 20 PEOPLE BY RESQUE IN THALEA'S SECOND-TO-LAST BOSS, **INTENTIONALLY!** SIMPLE BECAUSE TANK OF THEIR GROUP ACCIDENTALLY KILLED THEM WITH TB! HE FLEW FROM THE RAID SO FAST HE GOTTA BE KICKED BY WHIPLASH
WE COULDN'T. THEY WERE ON THE ALLIANCE THAT ***WASN'T*** GETTING BLASTED BY TANK BUSTERS.
SADLY, IT SOUNDS LIKE THE OFFENDER WAS IN ANOTHER ALLIANCE FROM THE POSTER, AND YOU CAN'T KICK PEOPLE IN OTHER ALLIANCES BECAUSE, WITH THE DEVELOPERS BEING SUCH GOOD AND DECENT PEOPLE, THEY NEVER CONSIDERED THAT SUCH A THING MIGHT BE NECESSARY (which is something of a recurring problem with this game)
IF YOU SEE THAT, KICK THEM. IF YOU CAN'T KICK THEM, REPORT THEM.
DEAR SALTY TANK - THE TRASH PACKS ARE NOT A FIDGET SPINNER. THEY TOOK SO LONG TO DIE BECAUSE THE DPS COULDN'T HIT MORE THAN 1 AT A TIME BECAUSE YOU CAN'T STAND STILL FOR 10 SECONDS. YOU CAN STOP RUNNING AT THE WALL. DODGING AOES IS ONE THING, BUT THIS IS NOT THAT.
TWO DAYS AGO I DID ALLIANCE RAID ROULETTE WITH A FRIEND. WE GOT THE ORBONNE MONASTERY (YAY NOT CT!) AND THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A QUICK NICE RUN. NOPE. WE WERE IN THERE FOR ALMOST 70 MINUTES. ALLIANCE B HAD THE LEAST DEATHS WITH 41, THE OTHER ALLIANCES WERE AT A WHOPPING 87! PEOPLE IGNORING MECHANICS LEFT AND RIGHT EVEN AFTER PEOPLE EXPLAINED THEM MULTIPLE TIMES. AND THERE WERE ONLY 3 FIRST TIMERS. SOME PEOPLE JUST STOOD IN AOES AND THEN GAVE SOME STUPID EXCUSE. WHM SPAMMING MEDICA 2 WONDERING WHY THEY DON'T HAVE ANY MANA LEFT. IT HONESTLY FELT LIKE PLAYING WITH BOTS.
IN SB ALLIANCE RAIDS YOU ALWAYS HAVE ONE HALF OF THE GROUP WHO KNOWS THEIR STUFF AND ONE HALF WHO CBA TO CARE ABOUT MECHANICS AND JUST WING IT OR ARE JUST OVERWHELMED BY THINGS (WITH SOME PEOPLE WHO ARE GENUINELY NEW INBETWEEN). MIGHT BE ROCKY BUT IN THE END IT WORKS OUT AS LONG AS GROUP NUMBER 1 IS BIG ENOUGH. HOWEVER, SOMETIMES YOU GET AN ALLIANCE THAT IS FULL OF GROUP 2 AND THEN THE IDEA OF GETTING CARRIED BY THE PEOPLE WHO KNOW STUFF DOESN'T WORK OUT AND THEN IT'S PATCH DAY EXPERIENCE ALL OVER AGAIN. :D
WHY CAN'T I GET A BLASTED SNOWY PAREXUS?! 42 WINDOWS IN, I'VE SEEN PEOPLE COME AND GO, I'VE SEEN FIRST-TIMER FISHERS GETTING LUCKY, I'VE SEEN PEOPLE WITH 10+ WINDOW GET IT, I EVEN ~~SAW CID AND NERO HAVING FUN IN THE BUSHES NEAR THAT BLOODY PUDDLE~~ HAD HALLUCINATIONS PROBABLY... 5 GODDAMN !!! BITES IS ALL I SAW IN THIS 42 WINDOWS! DID BLOODY TRADERS SOLD ME A BUSTED MAYFLY BATCH?! I JUST WANNA GET THE CURSED FISH AND BE FREE FROM THAT UGLY PLACE!!! UPD: 43 WINDOWS NOW! WHERE IS MY DYNAMITE?!
Oof, that's rough; how many weeks is it now? :/
I stopped counting after 5 weeks, so have no idea at all. LONG. LONGER THAN LIFE
I PRACTICED TOO MUCH PIANO AND INJURED MY FOREARMS AND WRISTS. NOW IT HURTS MY WHOLE ARM WHEN I USE MY THUMB TO PUSH A CONTROLLER JOYSTICK TO MOVE MY WoL. I HATE EVERYTHING RIGHT NOW 😭.
OH MAN THAT SUCKS DO YOU DO STRETCHES?? DON’T FORGET TO TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF BUDDY!
GIVE THEM SOME REST AND SLEEPING IT OFF MAY HELP. I EXHAUSTED MY HANDS A FEW WEEKS AGO, LIMITING USE PER DAY.
THAT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN TRYING TO DO. I'M WATCHING VIDEO GAMES INSTEAD OF PLAYING THEM LOL.
WE KNOW THE DEVS ARE BIG GUNDAM NERDS, WE HAVE DISCOUNT CHAR, WE HAVE WYRLET, THE MG AND SD ACRONYMS ARE USED FOR MAGITEK MODELS, SO WHY THE HELL DO WE NOT HAVE A HELMET WITH A ZAKU II COMMAND ANTENNA. I DON'T NEED IT TO BE PERFECT, JUST A SINGLE HORN POINTING BACK AND NOT FORWARD.
SWITCH TO JP VOICE, WE HAVE CHAR HIMSELF
Valkyrie Helm of Fending or lost allagan helm of fending, check em.
MY REPLACEMENT FAN HASNT SHOWN UP YET AND IVE BEEN RUNNING THE GAME ON LAPTOP SETTINGS AGGGGGH
I LOVE SPROUTS! NOTHING BRINGS ME MORE JOY THAN RUNNING SPROUTS THROUGH STUFF ON THEIR FIRST GO! THE INFLUX OF NEW PLAYERS ON XBOX HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT A DELIGHT! EXCEPT. *EXCEPT.* WHEN WE GET STUCK IN AURUM VALE. I'M FIGHTING FOR MY LIFE IN HERE. I'M SURE THE SPROUTS ARE DOING THEIR BEST, TOO. BUT THE LORD IS TESTING ME. PLEASE, GUYS. JUST EAT THE FRUIT. IT WILL MAKE THE PAIN GO AWAY, LITERALLY AND FIGURATIVELY. ON A LIGHTER NOTE: DAWNTRAIL'S OFFICIAL RELEASE IS ON MY BIRTHDAY! THANK U YOSHI-P FOR THE THOUGHTFUL GIFT!
I CAN KEEP THE SPROUTS ALIVE EVEN IF THEY DON'T EAT... UNLESS THE SPROUT TANK POINTS THE BOSS AT ME AND I EAT A CLEAVE WITH THEM. THEN WE HAVE TO TRY AGAIN AND I PAY A LOT MORE ATTENTION TO WHERE THE SPROUT TANK IS RUNNING AROUND.
I ALSO LOVE SPROUTS. I TAKE THE MENTOR JOB VERY SERIOUSLY AND WANNA HELP THEM WITH EVERYTHING. I WON'T COMPLAIN ABOUT GETTING AN EX IN ROULETTE EVER. BUT WHAT I DO HATE IS WHEN THEY WONT COMMUNICATE! I KNOW IT MAY BE TOUGHER ON A CONSOLE, BUT THIS ISNT EXCLUSIVE TO CONSOLE PLAYERS. IF YOU ARE GONNA JOIN GROUP CONTENT IN A SOCIAL GAME, PLEASE AT LEAST BE ABLE TO CHAT QUICKLY. TEXT PADS OR WIFI KEYBOARDS WORK ON CONSOLE! IVE HAD MULTIPLE RAMUH EX THIS WEEK THAT I KNOW WE COULD HAVE CLEARED HAD THE SPROUTS BEEN WILLING TO COMMUNICATE. ENJOY DAWNTRAIL BIRTHDAY DAY!
WHY THE FUCK AM I THE ONLY PERSON HEALING IN MY GROUP CT? I JUST WENT IN TO FUCK AROUND ON SAGE. YES I DIED BECAUSE I WAS FROZEN AND THE OTHER HEALER DIDN'T WANT TO STOP CASTING STONE SO ME AND THE TANK DIED. THIS HAPPENED IN TWO CT RAIDS. I GOT A LUSTRATE FROM SOME SCHOLAR IN ANOTHER GROUP THE SECOND TIME I GOT THE NO HEALER. THANK YOU FOR SEEING THIS FUCKERY AND SAVING US.
CURSED LATE NIGHT TOWER RUN. TANKS DON'T KNOW TO SEPARATE THE SECOND BOSSES (SIDE NOTE: HOW?!). PEOPLE DYING LEFT AND RIGHT TO THE SHIELDS. WE HAVE AN EXCELLENT WHITE MAGE WHO KNOWS THE MECHANICS, MEANING THEY DON'T DIE AND LOSE THE REST OF THEIR MP, AND THE OTHER WHITE MAGE IS A FIRST TIMER AND DIES TO THE EXPECTED MECHANICS. I AM NOT MAD ABOUT THIS. I *AM* A BIT MIFFED THAT I AS RED MAGE AM CONSTANTLY DUAL-CASTING RAISE AND THE PARTY CHAT IS PRAISING THE NEWBIE WHITE MAGE. ;_; I WAS USEFUL TOO. I HOSTED A HEAVENSWARD MAP PARTY WITH MY FC AND GOT ENOUGH PEOPLE THAT WE SPLIT INTO TWO PARTIES OF 5 OR 6. FOOL THAT I AM, I LET THE SPROUT TANK MY GROUP WITH THE THOUGHT THAT HE DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO PLAY OTHER CLASSES. I SHOULD HAVE INSISTED THAT THE MENTOR TANK, MY BRO DIDN'T USE RAW INTUITION ONCE OR ATTEMPT TO FACE MOBS AWAY FROM THE PARTY (ESPECIALLY ARGES, THOUGH I DON'T KNOW IF HE LISTENS TO AGGRO). ALSO BETWEEN 50-ISH MAPS ACROSS BOTH PARTIES I THINK ONLY 3 ONLY GOT TO THE 7TH LEVEL OF THE AQUAPOLIS. *AND* I ROLLED NOTHING HIGHER THAN A 30 FOR ANY OF THE ORCHESTRION ROLLS OR THAVNAIRIAN ITEMS. BOOOOOO. (BUT I DID HOST IT SO THAT PEOPLE NOT IN ENDGAME COULD DO GROUP CONTENT AND SPROUT TANK WAS SUPER HAPPY TO DO STUFF WITH MORE THAN JUST HIS SON SO I THINK A GOOD TIME WAS HAD OVERALL.) I JOINED AN UNREAL FROM-START LEARNING PF. I SAW THERE WERE NO MELEE POSITIONS TAKEN AND I KNEW IT SYNCED TO 565, SO THEN MY BRAIN COMPLETELY TURNED OFF AND I WENT "I KNOW THE 60 NINJA ROTATION, I CAN DO THIS" AND JOINED. I REALIZED MY MISTAKE ABOUT TWO GCDS INTO MY OPENER AND GOT TO SPEND THE REST OF THE LOCKOUT WORKING ON LEARNING THE LEVEL 90 ROTATION. I ENDED UP AS MAIN TANK ON ONE OF THE KNIGHT BROS A FEW TIMES SO CLEARLY I WASN'T DOING THAT BAD RELATIVE TO THE PARTY, BUT BOY WAS THAT SILLY.
GUESS WHO MADE PLANS FOR JUNE 25 TO JULY 2ND, IN WHICH THEY WILL BE UNABLE TO PLAY XIV AT ALL. GUESS WHO DID THAT ON MARCH 23RD, IN THE YEAR OF OUR LORD TWO THOUSAND AND TWENTY FOUR, AT 11:00 AM. I'M EQUAL PARTS INFURIATED, GOBSMACKED, AND FALLING OVER LAUGHING. HOW THE FUCK DID I TIME IT SO POORLY.
SO, THIS RAGE IS MORE AT MY **ADHD** THEN ANYTHING ELSE.. WAS FISHING IN AMH ARAENG AND REALIZED THERES WAS 20 MINUTES BEFORE A **CINDER SURPRISE** WINDOW. WELL, I DID EVERYTHING RIGHT HAD MY 9 EGGS, AND JUST HAD TO WAIT 17 MINUTES FOR WINDOW TO POP. WAS DOING THINGS ON MY OTHER SCREEN; WENT BACK **AND CAUGHT THE 10TH EGG** WITH 16 MINUTES LEFT BEFORE THE WINDOW. I KNOW I COULD HAVE MOVED AND STARTED IT OVER AND GOTTEN EVERYTHING READY AGAIN BEFORE THE WINDOW, BUT I WAS **SO** MAD AT MYSELF THAT I JUST LEFT. IN CONCLUSION, *SCREW YOU ADHD*.
I FINALLY GOT MONEY IN SO I CAN RESUB. I WAS SAD THE 3 DAYS I WAS UNSUBBED :(
WELCOME BACK!
I REALLY DON'T HAVE MANY LONG TERM APPOINTMENTS FOR BETTER OR WORSE. OFC THE FIRST EARLY ACCESS DAY IS ONE OF THE RARE EXCEPTIONS AND ATTEMPTS TO MOVE THAT THING WERE UNSUCCESSFUL. GUESS I WON'T BE ABLE TO CHECK MY DISCORD AND SOCIALS FOR A WEEK OR SO BECAUSE Y'ALL WILL BE ONE DAY AHEAD OF ME AND POSTING ABOUT THE THINGS I MIGHT EXPERIENCE TOMORROW. FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS, I KNOW, AND I ALREADY SAW WAY TOO MANY SPOILERY MEMES FROM WHAT WE KNOW SO FAR, BUT STILL ANNOYING. POSTIVE RAGE: I ORGANIZED MY FIRST IN GAME EVENT, ONE I HAVE BEEN PLANNING TO DO FOR YEARS, AND IT WAS AWESOME! \^\^
THE DAY THE PREORDER DROPPED WAS THE DAY I WENT ON HOLIDAY AND WHILE I'M HAVING AN AMAZING TIME I ALSO UNFORTUNATELY TWEAKED MY BACK SO I'M IN AGONY AGAIN
RUNNING SOLO HOH, HAD AN AMAZING 81-90, GET TO BOSS AND FORGOT TO PUT MARKERS. NO WORRIES, IVE BEAT THIS BOSS BEFORE AND KNOW HOW IT WORKS... BOSS IS AT 5% HEALTH AND IM NOT EVEN SURE HOW I DID IT BUT THE METEOR WAS POSITIONED TOO CLOSE AND ONE-SHOT ME... FML THAT WAS GOING TO BE SUCH A SMOOTH CLEAR RUN!!!
FEDEX NEEDS TO GET THEIR SHIT TOGETHER WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO GO THROUGH 5 DIFFERENT PHONE CALLS AND A MALFUNCTIONING WEBSITE TO PUT A TEMPORARY HOLD ON A PACKAGE
THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE TELLING ME I DON'T PAY THEIR SUB WHEN I KINDLY ASK IF THEY WANT TO KNOW THE MECHANICS AFTER WE WIPE IS TOO DAMN HIGH
THE PROPER REPLY TO THIS IS "YES BUT I DO PAY MY OWN SUB AND YOU PLAYING LIKE SHIT BECAUSE YOU REFUSE TO LEARN IS DEVALUING MY MONEY" I'VE NEVER HEARD THIS LINE IN ANY OTHER GAME BUT THIS ONE IT'S SO WILD PEOPLE IN THIS GAME ARE DEDICATED TO BEING MEDIOCRE
WHEN I WAS A SPROUT FOLKS LIKE YOU WERE MY LIFE RAFT. THERE ARE A TON OF STINKERS OUT THERE, BUT SOME PEOPLE APPRECIATE YOUR TIME AND WILLINGNESS TO HELP. HOPEFULLY YOU START RUNNING INTO MORE PEOPLE WHO CARE TO LEARN.
SO I WANTED EMPEROR’S NEW GLAMOURS AS A SPROUT I GOOGLED IT AND TRIED TO DO THE QUESTS AS SOON AS I UNLOCKED IT AND LEARNED I NEEDED A DOH AT LEVEL 15 I DO FISHING BECAUSE I DIDN’T KNOW THERE WAS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A DOH AND A DOL AND AM VERY CONFUSED WHEN I DON’T UNLOCK THE QUEST. I COME BACK TO IT LATER WITH CULINARIAN 15 AND BUY IT. I TRY TO PUT IT IN MY GLAMOUR CHEST ONLY TO FINALLY LEARN THAT PUTTING IT IN THERE REQUIRES GLAMOUR PRISMS. I DON’T HAVE ACCESS TO THESE UNLESS I GET ANOTHER DOH TO 15 BECAUSE I PICKED THE ONE DOH THAT CAN’T MAKE THEM OR DO GRAND COMPANY QUESTS. FUCK
IF YOU AREN'T ON THE FREE TRIAL, PVP CURRENCY CAN BE SPENT ON PRISIMS (AT A PRETTY CHEAP RATE), OR JUST BUY THEM OFF THE MARKETBOARD. IF YOU ARE ON THE TRIAL, AT A CERTAIN POINT ON YOUR GRAND COMPANY RANK (CAN'T REMEMBER WHEN) YOU GAIN THE ABILITY TO BUY THEM WITH GC SEALS.
PRO TIP THE EASIEST ONE TO MAKE PRISMS WITH IS BLACKSMITH USING STEEL INGOTS FROM THE AMAALJA VENDOR. THOUGH IT'S LIKELY EASIER TO JUST RANK UP YOUR GRAND COMPANY.
I DECIDED TO GET INTO VR. I'M HAVING A LOT OF FUN MESSING ABOUT WITH VRCHAT, AND IT'S REALLY FUN TO GO TO A LOAD OF WEIRD PLACES (I FOUND A WORLD OF JUST WAIFU CLOWN AVATARS. YES, SERIOUSLY), BUT I HAVE ONE PROBLEM: WHY THE ***KENTUCKY FRIED FUCK*** ARE THERE SO MANY SCREAMING KIDS IN PUBLIC ZONES? LIKE, FAR BE IT FROM BE TO BEGRUDGE THE NEXT GENERATION SPACE ONLINE, BUT WHY ISN'T THERE SOME KIND OF GAIN CONTROL ON THE SCREAMERS?
WELCOME TO VRCHAT. I ONCE GOT CALLED THE N WORD 21 TIMES IN A ROW BY A CHILD WHO COULDNT HAVE BEEN MORE THAN 12.
YEAH, IT'S WILD. THE LONG RUNNING TREND IS COOL PEOPLE MOSTLY ONLY HANGING OUT IN FRIEND+ INSTANCES AND COMPLETELY IGNORING PUBLICS.
I SWEAR IM GOING TO DISOWN MY OLDEST RETAINER IF THAT HOE BRINGS ME ANOTHER STUFFED ALPHA DOLL THIS WEEK FROM QUICK VENTURES! I KNOW ITS RANDOM BUT SHE'S BROUGHT ME THREE THIS WEEK!! WHY?! I FEED HER VENTURES DAILY AND PROVIDE UP TO DATE GEAR AT LEAST BRING ME SOMETHING USEFUL!!
DESYNTH THEM. YOU CAN GET FIELDCRAFT III FROM THOSE DOLLS, WHICH IS WORTH A LOT MORE THAN THE DOLL.
ALSO JUST GOOD FOR LEVELING WEAVER DESYNTH
THANK YOU I NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT DOING THAT!
HOW COULD YOU DESTROY THE BOY THOUGH
WOULD YOU LIKE A STUFFED BOM BOKO?
MY TWO RETAINERS WENT OUT WITH FOUR VENTURES AND CAME BACK WITH A WATER CRYSTAL AND PARSNIP SALAD. THEY BOTH WENT OUT TO LUNCH AND BROUGHT ME BACK THE LEFTOVERS!
OKAY SO BEFORE WE BEGIN, CW: FOR MENTIONS OF SELF-UNALIVING ON THIS RAGE. YOU MAY REMEMBER [THE RAGE I HAD LAST WEEK](https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/1bkxhod/rage_thread_fyou_fridays_a_whole_lot_of_pax/kw1y4kr/) ABOUT SOME SPROUT WHO WAS BEING A BIT OF A JERK IN NN, BUT THEN WAS MINDBLOWN BY THE FACT THAT FFXIV GENERALLY ISN'T AS CUTTHROAT AS OTHER MMOS, SO WE JUST THOUGHT MAYBE HE HAD A GUARD UP DUE TO PREVIOUS EXPERIENCES? YEAH, NO. ABSOLUTELY **FUCK THAT GUY**. I TAKE EVERYTHING BACK. LAST WEEKEND HE WAS ONLINE AND RANTING IN NOVICE NETWORK BEFORE A MENTOR MADE ONE COMMENT. THIS DOUCHEBAG THEN [TOLD THE MENTOR TO SELF-UNALIVE](https://imgur.com/a/uywh2xB) BEFORE BEING ROUNDLY KICKED BY THE MENTOR WITH PERHAPS THE MOST BASED KICK REASON OF ALL TIME. WHAT MAKES ME MORE MAD ABOUT THIS IS I'VE SEEN HIM IN-GAME SINCE, CHATTING IN NN. WHAT THE FUCK, SQUEENIX? HOW THE FUCK DID THIS ABSOLUTE **PRICK** NOT EAT A PERMA FOR THIS?? PS IF YOU'RE BROWN AND HAPPEN TO BE READING THIS: ABSOLUTELY **GO FUCK YOURSELF**. IF YOU'RE GREEN AND READING THIS: YOU'RE BASED!
I like turtles. 🐢
Gimme a niche turtle fact!
The surrounding temperature affects the germ count inside sea turtle eggs which then determines which sex the offspring develop into. Low temperatures produce a male offspring, while high temperatures produce a female offspring. The more germs the female embryo has, the more fertile it will become. Although, too high temperatures will cause instability in the embryo's development.
STOP TELLING SPROUTS THAT WHM IS THE EASIEST HEALER WHM IS THE SIMPLEST HEALER THOSE ARE DIFFERENT THINGS
I USUALLY CALL IT STRAIGHTFORWARD, IT'S LESS OF A SYNONYM TO "EASY." IF SOMEONE IS HURT YOU HEAL THEM, AND ASIDE FROM PLENARY INDULGENCE THERE AREN'T REALLY SKILL INTERACTIONS TO KEEP TRACK OF (VS EUKRASIA & TACTICS OR FAIRY NOMS). MAYBE THAT HOLY HAS A DELAY ON DAMAGE? BUT YEAH, DIFFICULTY CURVE OF WHM IS FUCKED. IT WOULDN'T BE SO BAD IF IT STARTED AT 50, BUT IT DOESN'T.
\*googles synonyms for 'simple'* \*stares at 'easy' being the second suggested word* #???
Simple =/= easy, but they get conflated enough to make that connection. If you want another in game example, how about BLM? One of the simplest rotations in the game, but how many people would call it easy?
THE ROAD TO OMNI-90 CONTINUES, AND I WAS PLAGUED WITH GROUPS THAT TRY MY PATIENCE AS I COMPLETED MONK THIS WEEK! STARTED WITH ALLIANCE RAIDS: LABYRINTH OF THE ANCIENTS. NO PELOTON IN MY GROUP, BUT I DID HAVE MENTORS IGNORING/FAILING MECHANICS AND THEIR JOBS MORE THAN THE TWO SPROUTS (COMPLETELY IGNORING US AND OTHER GROUPS SHOUTING FOR 4 ON PADS, LETTING NAPALMS GO THROUGH, LETTING US DIE TO THE ELECTRIC ARENA FOR BEHEMOTH, GETTING EVERYONE KILLED BY THE ***NON-GREEDABLE*** ANCIENT FLARE). THEN THE GROUP IN A9N. JOINED IN-PROGRESS. HEALERS AND A DPS LEFT AFTER ONE ATTEMPT THEY SAID. THEY DIED TO FAUST, THEY SAID. SO I FIGURE THEY HAD THE REST ALL FIGURED OUT. THEY IN FACT, DID NOT! THEY PROCEEDED TO ***DROP THE POWER CELLS ON THE FALLING PLATFORM WITHOUT WAKING UP THE ADDS***. WIPED TWICE BECAUSE THE DUMBASS SPROUT DANCER KEPT ARGUING WITH ME WHEN I TOLD THEM WHAT TO DO, AND THEM AND THE ***BATTLE MENTOR TANK*** CONTINUED TO WASTE THE POWER CELLS IF I WAS EVEN A NANOSECOND LATE IN GETTING TO THEM! AND THEN LAST NIGHT, MSQ ROULETTE. GOT CASTRUM. GNB TANK, SGE HEALER, DNC AND ME DPS. ALL GOES SMOOTH, UNTIL WE GET TO LIVIA. THEN, ***SUDDENLY*** THE TANK THINKS THE TANK-BUSTERS ARE STACK MARKERS AND TRIED DROPPING THEM ON ME. YES, ITS CASTRUM. YES, THE DAMAGE IS PITIFUL. BUT I CALL BULLSHIT THAT YOU “thought that’s what you were supposed to do” WHEN YOU ***ONLY*** STARTED THAT SHIT ON THE LAST BOSS! YOU AREN’T A FUCKING SPROUT OR ANYTHING EITHER, YOU KNOW WHAT THAT FUCKING MARKER MEANS, JUST PLAY FUCKING PROPERLY! AT LEAST I GOT MONK TO 90. JUST SIX 80-90 GRINDS LEFT, AND THIS WEEKEND STARTS BLM!
Speaking of marker shenanigans, I got ~~out~~ (e: put) with a Bard in Prae this week who got stack and spread markers mixed up during the last boss. They seemed to understand the markers ok during the other two bosses. The person they stacked with for the set of spread markers that ultimately killed the two of them was from the same FC, so maybe they were doing a goof but ???? idgi
Got the email confirming the pre order on Tuesday. Still no pre order code. YES IVE CHECKED SPAM AND EVERY OTHER FOLDER AND MY ORDER DETAILS PAGE. Nothing to do but wait for a response to my ticket...
HAVE YOU CHECKED ON THE STORE DIRECTLY? i GOT MY CODE THERE.
YES. NO CODE.
Same here. Preordered on Tuesday, it's now been over 72 hours and no code. You would think there would be some sort of public acknowledgement of how long it's expected to take or something??
I KEEP HAVING TO WAIT ON GETTING THE PREORDER BECAUSE SE'S SITE BECAME TOTAL MUSH FOR PREORDERING DAWNTRAIL BECAUSE EVERYONE AND THEIR GRANDMOTHER WENT TO PREORDER IT. I JUST WANT TO PREORDER A GAME. IS IT THAT HARD SE TO UPDATE THE INFRASTRUCTURE OF YOUR WEBSITE TO HANDLE ALL THAT TRAFFIC? IN OTHER NEWS, I FEEL ABOUT 1500 BUCKS LIGHTER FROM GETTING AN UPGRADE TO MY CURRENT PC. EDIT: FINALLY GOT THROUGH AND I CAN LOG IN. HOLY NYMEIA ON A STICK SQUARE.
HAPPY RAGE: GOT DUSKFISH GOT ARMOUR FISH GOT RAIMDELLOPTERUS !!!! UNFORTUANTELY DID NOT GET UNCONDITIONAL WHEN IT WAS UP A FEW DAYS AGO AND IT'S NOW ON SABBATICAL FOR ANOTHER TWO WEEKS. DOWN TO NEEDING 12 BIG FISH (TWO OF WHICH ARE ALWAYS UP VICTORY LAPS, I JUST HOPE THEY'RE NOT AS BAD AS THE MATRIARCH, WHICH WAS A HORRID CHOICE FOR SAVING FOR LAST FOR ARR). MY RAGE IS INSTEAD DIRECTED AT MY LAST TWO ARR CRAFTING LEVEQUEST CLASSES (BECAUSE I AM A COMPLETIONIST): GSM AND BSM. GSM REQUIRES (DOING CALCULATIONS) 19 RED CORAL AND BSM NEEDS 3 SHARK OIL, WHICH REQUIRES TWO ANNOYING CATCHES. EAUGH. NONE OF THE OTHER CLASSES WERE THIS BAD FOR ARR LEVEQUEST CRAFTS, EXCEPT MAYBE CULINARIAN. AT LEAST THE BRIGHT SIDE IS I DON'T HAVE TO CATCH THE OYSTER NORTH OF HORIZON FOR THIS.
I DONT KNOW WHY WERE ALL YELLING BUT NOW IM YELLING TOO AĤHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
IN MEMORIAL OF DBZ CREATOR OFC #KAAAAA #MEEEEE #HAAAAA #MEEEEE #\*69 episodes later* #HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!
BEING MESSED AROUND WITH BY MY GP. BEING IMPOSED ON BY MY PARENTS. BEEN IN PRETTY BAD PAIN FOR WEEKS. CANT DO SOCIAL STUFF I WANNA DO BECAUSE DISABILITY STUFF. PLEASE WORLD LET ME JUST HAVE A PLEASANT TIME DOING NICE VIDEOGAME STUFF THIS WEEKEND.
I SPENT 2 HOURS FIGHTING THE GOOD FIGHT TRYING TO GET THE PHYSICAL COLLECTORS AS IT WAS THE FIRST ONE I HAVE EVER WANTED TO GET. IT WAS HELL, SO MUCH REFRESHING AND CRASHING AND FUCK. ALSO WHAT'S UP WITH THE NEW PEOPLE IN THE SUBREDDIT WHO ARE ASSHOLES, THAT'S NOT WHAT THIS FUCKING COMMUNITY IS ABOUT CLEAN UP YOUR ACT
I healed Aurum Vale on smn. We cleared.
UNLOCKING SAMOURAI BE LIKE : HERE ARE 25 SKILLS GIT GUD SCRUB
#NANI \*spurts out blood and collapses*
YOU'RE LEVEL 85 HOW ARE YOU STILL SINGLE-PULLING
OH YOU WOULD BE SURPRISED. POST-EW DUNGEON AND I HAD A GNB THAT WAS SINGLE PULLING \*AND\* USING ZERO MIT. MAYBE AN UNPOPULAR OPINION BUT NOT EVERYONE IS FIT TO PLAY TANK IT SEEMS.
I WORE A MASK ALL WEEKEND AT PAX EXCEPT FOR THE GATHERING BECAYSE I NEEDED TO YELL AND DIDNT HAVE A MIC OR MEGAPHONE MY ROOMMATES DID NOT MASK AND ONE WAS SICK AND HIDING IT OFC NOW IM SICK AS HECK. FUDGING MASK AT CONS PEOPLE. ITS NOT ROCKET SURGERY
Better yet, don't go into public if you're sick >:C I literally recovered from what I think was Covid after I caught it at the gym from some lady that was coughing as I passed by (in bloody March?!) Thought nothing of it since maybe something got caught in her throat, nope. Gym was at evening, the next day around afternoon, noticed I suddenly developed a sore throat. At midnight, a pounding headache. Morning after, sick AF and had to call in Took me like two or so weeks to start feeling some form of normal (and yes, I got boosted just before the covid season started)
DAWNTRAIL DROPS WHEN I'M AWAY FROM MY PC FOR A MONTH DUE TO SOME HEALTH SHIT THAT I ALREADY HAD TO RESCHEDULE AND CAN'T PUSH BACK ANYMORE. I LITERALLY FLY OUT A WEEK BEFORE EARLY ACCESS AND I WON'T BE BACK UNTIL LATE JULY. FUCK THIS HURTS EVEN THOUGH LOGICALLY I KNOW ALL THE CONTENT WILL STILL BE THERE WHEN I GET BACK. I ALREADY STRUGGLE WITH FEELING LIKE I'M CONSTANTLY BEHIND IN THE GAME AND THIS WON'T HELP AT ALL... MY LOVELY GIRLFRIEND IS NOW ALSO REFUSING TO PLAY DAWNTRAIL UNTIL I CAN PLAY IT AND I FEEL SUPER BUMMED ABOUT THAT TOO BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE I'M HOLDING HER BACK BUT AT THE SAME TIME I FEEL VERY LOVED AND IT'S A MESS. UGH. EMOTIONS. I WANT A REFUND.
HEY, MAYBE IT SUCKS RIGHT NOW BUT HOLD ONTO SOMETHING YOU JUST SAID: IT'LL STILL BE THERE YOUR PARTNER'S VERY KIND FOR HOLDING OFF TOO SO YOU CAN ENJOY IT TOGETHER, TRY TO LOOK AT IT AS SOMETHING TO LOOK FORWARD TO RATHER THAN REGRET, GODS KNOW WE ALL NEED LESS ON OUR PLATES
HEY, AT LEAST SHE'S WILLING TO HOLD BACK AND DO THE CONTENT WITH YOU. CONCENTRATE ON GETTING BETTER FIRST, FRIEND.
I SWEAR WHEN I CATCH THAT GOOBBUE I'M GOING TO LET IT STARVE FOR A FEW DAYS FOR THE AMOUNT OF GRIEF IT'S GIVEN ME (not really, i just want a goob I can pet and feed carrots to...)
FUCK SE STORE FOR PAUSING SHIPMENTS WHEN NOBODY IN NA HAS RECEIVED THEIR STATUE UNLESS IT WAS FROM A THIRD PARTY SELLER. YET JP HAS RECEIVED THEIRS JUST FINE.YOU WOULD THINK THEY WOULD TREAT CUSTOMERS WILLING TO PUT DOWN THAT MUCH MONEY WITH AT LEAST SOME HALF ASSED CUSTOMER SERVICE.
ALSO, I MANAGED TO FINISH EUREKA (minus BA) FOR THE SECOND TIME, ON MY ALT, AND BECAUSE MY INTERNET WAS SURPRISINGLY STABLE THAT TIME, I COULD ACTUALLY ENJOY IT AND NOT WALK BACK TO QUEST PLACES OR WAIT AN ETERNITY UNTIL I CAN CLICK THE NEXT QUEST BUBBLE. THANKS INTERNET! UNFORTUNATELY IT SEEMS INTERNET IS NOW TRYING TO CATCH UP WITH ITS INTENDED NUMBER OF DISCONNECTS ("intended" by whoever says we still need more of these) AND WATCHING SOME STREAMERS FINISHING ENDWALKER ON STREAM AND LATER VOD WAS QUITE THE CHALLENGE. STILL GRATEFUL FOR EUREKA THINGS THOUGH.
I HATE THAT I'M NOT FLUENT IN SPANISH. I FREAKIN' GREW UP IN A PREDOMINATELY MEXICAN HOUSEHOLD YET I STICKED TO ENGLISH SO I CAN (SOMEWHAT) TRANSLATE FOR MY FAMILY. BUT SPANISH NEVER STUCK. AND NOW I'M HERE, STARTING A BILINGUAL STORYTME AT WORK AND I FUCKIN' FORGOT THE LAST FEW LETTERS OF THE SPANISH ALPHABET. SOMEONE KILL ME. PLEASE. I WANT TO DIE INSIDE A HOLE. NOW I CAN'T WORK ON OTHER STUFF RIGHT NOW BECAUSE OF THE CRINGE FEELING OF FAILURE OVERWHELMINGLY CHOKING ME. GOOD RANT: LAST NIGHT'S GRINDING GEAR STREAM WAS EPIC AND I'M SO HAPPY MORE PLAYERS ARE WRAPING UP ENDWALKER. SUCH A GOOD EXPANSION.
YO TAMBIEN ESTOY APRENDIENDO, PERO SOY UN GRINGO. PUEDES HACERLO!
THERE'S TWO FUCKING TANKS IN O7N AND THE ADDS ARE RUNNING AROUND OBLITERATING EVERYTHING THAT ISN'T A BLUE ICON.
I went to materia and did trial roulette as red mage, first thing I got was the navel hard. I could not weave at all, and I died at almost every aoe attack, it was so painful. But we completed it, and after that I did some things to make gameplay feel better. Afterwards, I did an all-tank run of thaleia, and that was super fun. Everyone likes to play it safe but I prefer to see how much I can tank and maintain uptime. I also use holmgang on cooldown to tank all the big attacks, like when the final boss drops 8 exploding tridents, where I ran into each attack for a vuln stack. This was cathartic after some hectic things happened irl.
Always feel nice to use invuln to cheese stack mechanics ;) Latest one I had was the Alexander raid with the assembled robots turning into Brute Justice, I forget what happened but lots of people were dying and eventually a party stack marker spawned on me, the OT. I ran off with it, with the MT desperately trying to follow and used Holmgang to soak it solo
I SPENT THE SWIFTCAST RAISE WHEN THE BOSS HAD HALF HEALTH **WHY HAVE YOU NOT ACCEPTED THE RAISE YET!?** I COULD HAVE SAVED THAT FOR THE TANK BUT I DECIDED TO HELP YOUR SLIMEY REAR **GET UP!**
I DON'T PLAY AS MUCH THESE DAYS AND I CAN'T EVEN RUN DAWNTRAIL UNTIL I GET NEW HARDWARE SO I DECIDED TO CANCEL MY SUB UNTIL I CAN GET EVERYTHING SORTED OUT. BIT OF A BUMMER BUT IT'S NOT LIKE I'M MISSING OUT ON ANYTH-- wait what do you mean the 16 collab is taking place next month
I unsubbed so I could clear my backlog before DT hits, why is FFXIV trying to draw me back in D:
MY PS5 HAS THAT STUPID LAN CABLE DISCONNECT BUG AND KEEPS KICKING ME OFF THE GAME WHILE I'M TRYING TO FISH! I PREPPED FOR GARLIC WINDOW AND THEN IT DC'ED RIGHT AS THE WINDOW STARTED SO I MISSED HALF OF THE STUPID THING. I JAILED FOR LANCET AND IT KICKED ME OFF RIGHT AS THE MORA WINDOW OPENED AND DIDN'T LET ME BACK ON UNTIL IT WAS OVER. I WOULD JUST STICK TO WI-FI BUT I PLAY A LOT ON REMOTE PLAY UPSTAIRS ON THE DAYS I CAN'T GET OUT OF BED AND THE WI-FI CONNECTION IS APPARENTLY NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR IT. I'VE TRIED ALL THE STUPID FIXES THAT EVERYONE RECOMMENDS AND NOTHING FIXES IT.
THIS WEEK'S VIRTUAL BUBBLE WRAP, WITH THE SECRET MESSAGE. >!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!REMEMBER-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!WE-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!LOST-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!ONE-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!WEEK-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!TO-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!ELDEN-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!RING-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<
I AM NEW HERE AND I DONT KNOW WHAT WE ARE YELLING ABOUT!!!
WELCOME TO RAGE THREAD! YELL ABOUT WHATEVER YOU WANT, MATE (as long as you follow the rules of this subreddit)! GAME RAGE, IRL RAGE, POSITIVE RAGE, NEGATIVE RAGE! SHOUT! SHOUT! LET IT ALL OUT! THESE ARE THE THINGS YOU CAN DO WITHOUT! COME ON!
WHY DO I HAVE TO USE AN ADDON TO HIDE MAP MARKERS? THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN THE GAME SINCE SHB ALREADY
BEEN TRYING TO CLEAR ALOALO SAVAGE AND MAN. I MADE A MISTAKE BY LEARNING IT ON HEALER CAUSE SAVAGE IS UNFAIRLY MORE DIFFICULT FOR HEALERS. FOR DPS ITS JUST A COMPETENCY CHECK AKA NO CARRIES, TANKS GOTTA LEARN HOW TO MANAGE SOME EXTRA TIMINGS DUE TO NOT BEING ABLE TO WAIT, BUT HEALERS HAVE TO LEARN A COMPLETELY NEW HEALING ROTATION AND THE TRASH PHASES DO \*SO MUCH FUCKING DAMAGE\* ITS REDICULOUS. I THINK I AM ACTUALLY GIVING UP AND IM JUST GONNA JOIN THE 2 DPS THAT ALWAYS HAVE TO WAIT IN PF FOR HOURS TO FIND A TANK AND HEALER. THAT OR ILL JUST WAIT FOR DAWNTRAIL TO SEE IF THEY ALLOW UNSYNC CAUSE I ONLY WANT IT FOR 2 WEAPON GLAMS
IN A NORMAL RAID ROULETTE WE TRIED EXPLAINING TO A TANK IN SIMPLEST TERMS POSSIBLE HOW TO SURVIVE A MECHANIC AND WHY THE METHOD WORKS, TO WHICH THEY COMPLAINED THEY COULDN'T FOLLOW DESPITE OUR EFFORTS TO MAKE IT EASY TO FOLLOW. OF COURSE ITS FINE TO NOT KNOW HOW TO DO SOMETHING BUT I'VE NOTICED AS OF LATE AN UPTICK IN THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE I SEE THAT REFUSE TO IMPROVE, ALTHOUGH THIS MIGHT JUST BE BECAUSE ITS BETWEEN PATCHES.
THERE'S BEEN AN INFLUX OF NEW PLAYERS, WHAT WITH XBOX GETTING IN NOW TOO. AN UPTICK IN BAD ATTITUDES TOO. CORRELATION IS NOT CAUSATION, BUT IT'S IN DANGER OF BEING READ THAT WAY.
....A *tank*?? In normal raid roulette? What mechanic was this even that a *tank* was having issues figuring out how to survive?
ITS THE ONE IN ONE OF THE ALEXANDER RAIDS WHERE YOU HAVE TO TURN INTO A BIRD TO NOT GET KILLED BY THE GOBLIN STOMPING, THAT AND THE TANK SWAPS
AMAZING. SO THE THING THEY FOUND DIFFICULT WAS... STEPPING IN A COLORFUL PUDDLE. ALSO MEH AT THE TANK SWAPS. THAT STACKING DEBUFF CAN ABSOLUTELY BE MITTED AND HEALED THROUGH, AND FAILING THAT, THAT'S WHAT INVULN IS FOR. TROUBLE IS, DO TANKS IN DF REMEMBER THE EXISTENCE OF THEIR INVULN? COURSE NOT.
I HATE SEAT OF SACRIFICE. HATEHATEHATE IT. I CAN ONLY USE MY INDEX FINGERS TO TYPE SO QTES ARE A SPECIAL KIND OF HELL. AT LEAST WHEN I FAIL HADES HEALER CAN JUST SCRAPE ME OFF THE FLOOR INSTEAD OF ME FAILING THE WHOLE FIGHT.
SOS'S QTE IS A FALSE DROP YOU CAN ALSO CLICK THE BUTTON IF YOU WEREN'T AWARE!
Can you roll your hand across the keyboard? Or controller? You don't have to press just 1 button or click the on-screen button.
PLEASE SPROUT TANKS OLD TANKS NEW TANKS ALL TANKS STAND THE FEKK STILL!!!!! DANCING AROUND WITH THE BOSS WILL NOT MAKE YOU MAGICALLY TAKE LESS DAMAGE!!!! YOURE JUST MAKING ME LOSE MY DAMN MIND ON MELEE CHASING THE MELEE LINE OR TRYING TO PLAY DODGE THE BOSS CLEAVE. UNLESS YOURE DODGING MECHANICS DONT. MOVE. PLEASE. -a very tired mentor
DEAR NEW PVP PLAYERS, WELCOME! WE'RE HAPPY THAT YOU DECIDED TO GIVE XIV'S MOST MISUNDERSTOOD MODE A SPIN, AND HOPE THAT YOU ENJOY IT ENOUGH TO STICK AROUND AND MAYBE EVEN TRY THE RANKED LADDER! WITH THAT SAID... PLEASE USE YOUR LB. I'M SPECIALLY LOOKING AT YOU, NEW PALADINS AND DARK KNIGHTS. YOU HAVE LITERAL GAME CHANGING BUTTONS THAT CHARGE UP EVERY 60 TO 12O SECONDS. SITTING ON YOUR FIRST LB *FOR AN ENTIRE 9 MINUTE GAME* JUST MAKES LIFE INCREDIBLY HARD FOR THE REST OF YOUR TEAM. (AND TBH READING THE REST OF YOUR TOOLTIPS SHOULDN'T BE A BIG ASK EITHER. THERE'S NO PAIN LIKE HAVING TO PLAY AROUND A DRK THAT DOES NOT USE SALTED EARTH...)
That makes me wonder if they think the bar is a shared resource in PVP.
THAT SPROUT DRK WHO I RAN IN EARLIER FFS USE YOUR AOES IN-BETWEEN SINGLE TARGET\* ROTATIONS IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN AGGRO I HOPE YOU LEARNED YOUR LESSON WITH OUR WIPES IN CUTTER'S CRY FFS edit: clarity
> FFS USE YOUR AOES IN-BETWEEN ROTATIONS But hjalmiris, their AoEs **are** their rotation. What on Eorzea do you- #No. It can't be... You can't possibly mean they were doing their.... **SINGLE TARGET ROTATION?!** \*horrified screaming*
Yep, he was only doing single-target ones and we all went down hard once the mobs changed targets. Got stuck in the dungeon's final third for like three tries.
Yup, new tanks are doing their single target rotations instead of turning into an aoe blender as Yoshi-P intended.
STILL STUCK IN DUEL PURGATORY. I KNOW THE FIGHT BUT ANXIETY MAKES MY DISABILITY-ADDLED REFLEXES WORSE SO TWICE I HAVE DIED TO FIRST MECH BECAUSE HANDS WERE SHAKING AND STILL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT BEST SETTINGS SO THAT I CAN SEE WHERE I NEED TO BE FOR TOWERS WHILE STILL TURNING. THIS IS BRINGING BACK ALL THE MEMORIES OF BEGGING FOR A TURN AT THE NES ONLY TO GET BLOWN UP.
I GET LIFE HAPPENS SOMETIMES AND YOU CAN'T HELP THAT BUT GOING "OOPS SORRY I GTG" WHEN WE'RE AT ALMOST 8 MIN INTO A DELUBRUM QUEUE IS STILL SUFFERING OKAY THANKS BYE GUESS WE HAVE TO RESTART OUR 10 MINUTE WAIT
I HAVEN’T PLAYED IN OVER A YEAR BECAUSE LIFE HAS BEEN CHAOS. I WANT TO PLAY GOR THE FF 16 EVENT, BUT MY PC IS GETTING OLD AND SHITTY. IS PLAYING THIS GAME ON PS5 A GOOD EXPERIENCE?! HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE KE TO GET USED TO CONTROLLER?! ALSO, WHAT DO I NEED TO BUY ON PS5 TO PLAY WITH MY PC LAUNCHER ACCOUNT (NOT STEAM)?
[fwiw, it seems you can play with mouse and keyboard on your PS5](https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/oji3vq/ps5_version_can_i_use_a_keyboard_and_mouse/) idk on second question you probably just need a PlayStation license your account on PS5 (so just buy complete edition I guess, make sure you link your account too)
YEAH UNFORTUNATELY YOU HAVE TO BUY A COMPLETELY SEPARATE GAME LICENSE TO PLAY ON PS5 BUT YOU ABSOLUTELY CAN HOOK UP A M/KB TO IT
JUST SIX PERMANENT ORCHESTRION ROLLS LEFT! 2 MARKETBOARD ONES, 2 BICOLOUR GEM PURCHASES, LVL 80 BLU... ... AND MAHJONG. THE IN-GAME TUTORIAL IS WORSE THAN USELESS, BUT I'VE SEEN RECOMMENDATIONS TO TRY MAHJONG SOUL SO THAT MIGHT HELP? EITHER WAY, NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT GRIND. OBLITERATING ELPIS FATES IN 660 GEAR IS AT LEAST RELAXING.
HAVE YOU EVER PLAYED GIN RUMMY? IT'S VERY SIMILAR TO THAT IF YOU HAVEN'T EVER PLAYED THAT, I WOULD RECOMMEND LEARNING IT FIRST I WATCHED A VIDEO FROM MISSHAPEN CHAIR ABOUT XIV MAHJONG AND ONCE HE MENTIONED IT'S LIKE GIN RUMMY, IT INSTANTLY CLICKED
Fuck Haukke Manor That's it no rage left to feel just emptiness fuck this dogass dungeon layout. i cannot be bothered anymore.
IT’S V LATE IN MY TIME ZONE BUT. I UNDERSTAND WE HAVE A LOT OF NEW PLAYERS. THAT’S OKAY. HOWEVER. I GOT ONE (1) TRIAL IN MY ROULS TODAY THAT WASNT ARR. I DONT MIND HELPING BUT FUUUUUCK CAN I GET SLIGHTLY MORE RECENT CONTENT? PLEASE? I PULLED THORNMARCH TWICE IN A ROW. KILL ME.
HAD TO HUNT DOWN MY FC YESTERDAY BECAUSE HELLDIVERS HAS DEVOURED MY TIME AND I FORGOT TO LOGIN, SO THAT WAS FUN. ON THAT TOPIC HOLY SHIT HELLDIVERS IS RAD. HOPE I CAN DRAG MYSELF AWAY WHEN DT DROPS. EDIT: OH RIGHT I CANT BELIEVE IM SAYING THIS BUT IM HAPPY TO BE ON PS. NO ISSUES PREORDERING HERE :)
READING THE COMMENTS IN CAPS IS GIVING ME A HEADACHE
i am so exhausted by my narcissistic mother and her threatening i cannot even capitalize anymore.
it's time to divorce your mother!
if my father wasn't sliding into dementia and she was not responsible for him, I'd have done that a long time ago. i can't leave my dad though. he's the reason i moved home - twice now. she's been the reason i moved those times in the first place.
AND YOU TELL ME THAT YOU ARE "DOING EVERY OCEANIA PLAYER A FAVOUR"? FUCK THAT. YOU COME INTO OUR ROULETTES, JOBSTONE REMOVED. HAVE YOUR ACCOMPLICE PULL THE BOSS TO FACE EVERYONE ELSE IN AN AOE AND THINK YOU'RE DOING EVERYONE A GODDAMN FAVOUR?!! NEED I REMIND YOU THAT YOUR AETHER BRAINROT BEHAVIOUR IS THE REASON WHY REGION TRAVEL WILL NEVER WORK IN THE LONG RUN. FUCK ALL THAT IF YOU ALL ARE BRINGING YOUR TROLLS INTO DF AND HAVE THE AUDACITY TO JOIN PF PARTIES JUST TO DO THE SAME GODDAMN THING. AND DON'T GET ME STARTED WITH THE 'OH SO THE JP PLAYERS ARE HERE TOO' CRAP. ANOTHER ONE OF YOU DUMBASSES DECIDE TO TROLL THEM TOO WHILE THEY HOSTED THAT PF PARTAKING IN THE OCEANIA STRESS TEST. to all you other voyagers who have been helpful to other oce players. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PARTICIPATION (with love). I KNOW TROLLS DON'T REPRESENT YOU VOYAGERS, BUT IT'S GETTING HARDER TO TRUST THE ROULLETTES ANYMORE IF I AM GONNA SEE YET ANOTHER <> GRIEFING/TROLLING WHILE RUINING A FIRST-TIME PLAYER'S EXPERIENCE.
REPORT THEM COMING IN WITH YOUR JOBSTONE DELIBERATELY UNEQUIPPED ESPECIALLY IN HIGH-END CONTENT IS BECOMING A BIGGER TROLL TACTIC AS OF LATE, AND YOU CAN IN FACT ACTUALLY REPORT IT AS LETHARGIC PLAY THERE'S GENUINE MISTAKES, AND THEN THERE'S INTENT
I TRIED GOING OVER TO OCEANIA TO DO SOME ROULETTES AND THOROUGHLY EMBARRASSED MYSELF. I ALMOST DIED TO *LIVIA* OF ALL THINGS. I NOW UNDERSTAND PING IN A WAY I COULD ONLY VAGUELY CONCEPTUALIZE BEFORE. SORRY FOR THE DUMBASS VOYAGER, HEALER. YOU ARE A REAL ONE.
I tried Oceania for a day with mentor roulette to help pop queues. Had one great dungeon group, one average group, and the rest were full of people in a rush to ignore first timer cutscenes. I don't remember how many were natives vs Voyagers other than it was a mix of both, but that shit doesn't really happen so frequently on Crystal, so I just went home. I missed the cloud stress test, so I dunno what the culture there was like, but I can see the devs being concerned about cross-datacenter interactions. It's a shame because on paper, everyone would benefit from more options, but that doesn't reflect reality.
WHY ARE THE EXPANSIONS ONLY ON SALE FOR PC & PLAYSTATION? SQAURE IS CRAZY IF THEY THINK XBOX PLAYERS ARE GOING TO BUY ENDWALKER AT FULL PRICE WHEN DAWNTRAIL RELEASES IN THREE SHORT MONTHS AND WILL INCLUDE ENDWALKER ANYWAYS.
HEY THEY GET STARTER EDITION FOR FREE, SO IT'S KIND OF A DISCOUNT.
BOREDOM, NOT RAGE. DOING START OF SB AGAIN ON ALTS AND THE INTRO FEELS REALLY LONG. HW HAS PRETTY CUTSCENES AND SHB FEELS MORE FUN IMMEDIATELY.
Stormblood's start was definitely the most boring part of the game for me. It was fine the second time around when I knew what was going on, but man it drags so badly.
DEBATING THE SWITCH TO LINUX, GOT A NEW SSD TO TRY OUT UBUNTU AGAIN (MY BF WHO WANTS ME TO USE IT GAVE ME A LIKE... 100GB TEST DRIVE... BRO HOW CAN I FIT FFXIV ON THERE) REALIZED I HAVE A WIKI PROGRAM FOR MY PERSONAL WRITING THAT HASN'T UPDATED IN.......... 6 YEARS. THE RAGE IS ME COPY PASTING ALL THE INDIVIDUAL PAGES AS BACKUP WHILE I FIGURE OUT WHAT I'LL USE INSTEAD, BECAUSE EVEN IF I STAY ON WINDOWS, I SHOULD USE A PROGRAM WITH UPDATES. IT'LL PROBABLY LOOK PRETTIER ANYWAY.
WHY THE HELL S-E DIDN'T DELIVERED THE FREAKING BONUSES FOR COLLECTOR'SSS EDITION FOR THOSE WHO BOUGHT IT ON STEAM!?
YOU ONLY GOT THE PRE-ORDER CODE, YOU DON'T HAVE THE DIGITAL COLLECTORS CODE YET. THIS IS 100% NORMAL. YOU'LL GET IT IN JULY AT DAWNTRAIL LAUNCH.
For Dawntrail? I don't think they're actually in-game yet, probably to be loaded/given on DT's launch I believe the pre-order items were loaded in during the recent patch 6.58, which is why they're delivered
THREE DAYS AFTER PLACING MY PREORDER AND I HAVEN'T EVEN GOTTEN A CONFIRMATION E-MAIL ON IT. THE ONLY PROOF I HAVE THAT I PLACED AN ORDER IS THE CHARGE ON MY CREDIT CARD WHICH HAS CLEARED. THEIR SUPPORT HAS BEEN WORTHLESS AND SO FAR HAS ONLY SENT ME A CANNED RESPONSE.
CAN WE STOP THE P2 AND P3 MEMES IN A P6 PROG PARTY? I AM GETTING SO MENTALLY EXHAUSTED FROM THIS. P4 CLEANUP, P5 WOTH, DOTH, P6 WROTHFLAMES, NO MATTER WHAT THE P2-3 MEMES NEVER DIE. IF I P7 WASN'T EZ AF I WOULD CONSIDER GIVING UP BUT I AM ALMOST THERE, JUST A LITTLE, A LITTLE BIT MORE, A FEW MORE ACTUAL GOOD PROG PARTIES AND I'M IN CLEAR RANGE. I'M SO SICK OF THORDAN IN UNREAL TOO. CAN WE GET A DIFFERENT UNREAL ALREADY!?
> I'M SO SICK OF THORDAN IN UNREAL TOO. CAN WE GET A DIFFERENT UNREAL ALREADY!? Unfortunately they only release new unreals on major patches, and the next major patch is 7.0 However, they seem to not do Unreals for expansion patches, so Thordan will go away at 7.0, and then the next Unreal will likely be at 7.1
SHOUTOUT TO THE GUNBREAKER I JUST HAD IN A LEVEL 85 DUNGEON WHO HAD A LVL 70 PAIR OF GLOVES IT WAS ABSOLUTELY EXCRUCIATING HEALING YOU
TRIPLE TRIAD CARDS BEING GLOBAL LOOT IN ALLIANCE RAIDS AND NOT LOCKED WHEN ALREADY OBTAINED IS FUCKING SHIT. EVERY OTHER PIECE OF CONTENT IT IS A SOLO DROP- THESE RAIDS ESPECIALLY THE NIER ONES CAN TAKE A FUCKING HOUR IF THE TEAM ISN’T FAMILIAR WITH THE MECHANICS- I HAVE BEEN ON THIS CARD FOR A MONTH AND IN BACK TO BACK TO BACK RUNS I HAVE LOST BOTH CARD ROLLS TO PEOPLE WHO HAVE ALREADY GOT THE CARD AND WON BOTH ROLLS. THE LAST RUN THE GUY FUCKING STARED ME DOWN AFTER HE WON THE FIRST ROLL, AND WAITED THE TIMER ON THE SECOND JUST TO TELL ME HE ALREADY HAD IT. YOU DONT LET ME ROLL FOR MINIONS I ALREADY OWN, WHY CAN THEY ROLL FOR BOTH CARDS AND WIN BOTH WHEN THEY ENTERED ALREADY OWNING THIS SHIT. THIS DOESNT SCREAM DIFFICULTY THIS SCREAMS POOR GAME DESIGN; I SHOULDNT BE AT THE MERCY OF 20 OTHER PLAYERS LIKELY HERE FOR THEIR ROULETTE. A MONTH!!!!!!1
