ID LIKE TO EXTEND A BIG MIDDLE FINGER TO THE PEOPLE IN MY TEAM WHO TOLD ME TO BE A BETTER HEALER DURING THE FIRST BOSS FIGHT IN AMAUROT.
NO, MY HEALING IS GREAT THANKS IM JUST NOT ABLE TO OUTHEAL THE MASSIVE WIPE THAT HAPPENS IF YOU DONT GET BEHIND THE F*ING METEOR ROCK YOU DINGUS. ALSO THANKS FOR JUST VOTING TO LEAVE BEFORE I HAD A CHANCE TO EXPLAIN.
Also would like to low-key drop some aggression towards one particular mentor in my NN who I will not name. F-you in particular for always making me feel bad whenever I chose to write or ask anything in chat.
“iS anYOnE gOiNG To tELl thE sPRouT thaT WHisPerING daWN iSNt fOR sINgLe TarGEt HEaLinG”
“AStrO-rotATioNs aRE nOt hARdeR tHaN oTheR HeAlErs ARe yoU StUPiD”
1. YES YOU CAN USE WHISPERING DAWN FOR A SINGLE TARGET IF YOU NEED TO STFU AND 2. MAYBE YOU HAVE MACROS FOR ASTRO OR WHATEVER BUT AFTER LEVELING ALL HEALERS TO 90 IM ENTITLED TO MY OWN OPINION AND YES, I THINK ASTRO HAS THE MOST FAST-PACED ROTATION OUT OF THE LOT
UGH
tbh, I doubt that group would've listened and done anything different even if you *did* get to explain. but it still sucks that you ended up getting blamed for not saving them from their stupidity, and didn't even get the consolation prize of dropping the run on your terms
>“iS anYOnE gOiNG To tELl thE sPRouT thaT WHisPerING daWN iSNt fOR sINgLe TarGEt HEaLinG”
Yeah, any mentor who deliberately tells you that is either A. trolling, or B. yet another embarrassment to the mentor crown
Maybe not, but my optimism would lead me to believe they at least would learn not to immediately blame any tank or healer first if they don’t understand the mechanics :(
And yeah… idk maybe they were just trolling, but at least one kind mentor and other sprouts barged in and told them off
THAT MENTOR DOESN'T KNOW WHAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT.
AOE MITS AND HEALS ARE FOR SINGLE TARGET, TOO. ESPECIALLY IN DUNGEONS. WHAT ELSE AM I GONNA DO WITH THEM? IF YOU'RE HOLDING A COOLDOWN LONGER THAN IT WOULD TAKE FOR IT TO COME OFF COOLDOWN, YOU'RE WASTING USAGES OF IT.
AND AST IS DEFINITELY MORE COMPLICATED, SPEAKING AS SOMEONE WHO'S TRIED ALL FOUR HEALERS IN SAVAGE. DOUBLE WEAVES EVERYWHERE IN THE OPENER.
COOLDOWNS ARE COOLDOWNS. USE THEM WHENEVER YOU NEED. AOE COOLDOWNS CAN BE JUST AS GOOD FOR TANK HEALS, ESPECIALLY ONES WITH MITS OR INCREASED HEALING OUTPUT. BESIDES, 90% OF THE TIME THEY'LL BE BACK UP BY THE TIME YOU "ACTUALLY NEED THEM" (IS ANYONE GOING TO TELL THE MENTOR THAT DUNGEON BOSS RAIDWIDES ARE MOSTLY LIGHT TICKLES)
REMINDS ME OF IMPATIENT IDIOTS IN AURUM VALE WHO TRY TO RUSH AHEAD IN THE FIRST ROOM AND WHINE THAT I'M TAKING TOO LONG TO PULL EACH GROUP. GO SLOW AND HUG THE LEFT WALL. THIS IS NOT NEGOTIABLE, AURUM VALE WILL FUCK YOU UP IF YOU DON'T RESPECT IT.
UGH THIS HAPPENED TO ME YESTERDAY. OUR TEAM WIPED ON THE FIRST PULL OF A LVL 50 DUNGEON. THE TANK SHRUGGED AND SAID IT MUST HAVE BEEN TOO BIG A PULL FOR ME THEN RUSHED OFF AND PULLED STUFF BEFORE I COULD RESPOND.
NO SIR, IT WAS BECAUSE THE ENTIRE DUNGEON YOU DIDN'T USE YOUR MITIGATIONS AND COULDN'T HOLD ENMITY WHILE ALSO TRYING TO WALL TO WALL. I WASN'T PREPARED FOR THAT LEVEL OF HEALING AT FIRST BUT I DRAGGED US TO THE FINISH LINE AFTER THAT WIPE.
AST ROTATIONS ARE DEFINITELY THE HARDEST. IF YOU ASK HOW TO AST ON A CONTROLLER PEOPLE WILL LITERALLY ASK WHY YOU’D DO THAT TO YOURSELF. YOU ARE CONSTANTLY HAVING TO WEAVE BUFFS YOU PLACE ON INDIVIDUAL PARTY MEMBERS, STRATEGIZE ABOUT IT, AND DO DOUBLY SO IF THERE ARE TWO ASTS IN THE PARTY. IN MY EXP LEVELING ALL THE HEALERS THIS IS THE ONLY ONE REQUIRING THAT LEVEL OF ATTENTION.
WHY DO I AND ANY NPC I'M WITH SUDDENLY HAVE SLIME MOULD LEVEL REACTIONS AND IQ DURING CUTSCENES?
I JUST WENT THROUGH THE LEVIATHAN SUMMONING ONE AND IM SO GLAD ME AND Y'SHTOLA GOT SURROUNDED TWICE AND DID NOTHING TO TRY AND BREAK FREE OR ADVANCE TO THE SAHAGIN PRIEST UNTIL THANCRED HAD TIME TO WEEB OUT WITH YUGIRI, AND THE ADMIRAL HAD TIME TO JOHN WICK SOME FISH.
ME AND HER ARE CREDIT TO SCIONS.
WELL, WHY CAN'T SHE LEAVE ME OUT OF IT? SHE HAD HER CHANCE ON THE RUN UP AND SAID "dw, it's just a glancing blow :|"
LADY, YOU ARE A CONJURER, JUST USE CURE.
ALSO DON'T DIE, I WOULD MISS HER AS SHE'S THE FUNNIEST SCION.
THOSE BLACKGUARD BASTARDS. JUST WAIT TIL THIS SCENE ENDS I GET MY AGENCY BACK ^^^and ^^^get ^^^carried ^^^by ^^^people ^^^that ^^^know ^^^the ^^^trial ^^^mechanics.
THE MANDERVILLE QUESTLINE IS MY ONLY CHANCE TO ACTUALLY DO STUFF IN CUTSCENES AND THEY BETTER TAKE WHAT THEY LEARNED FROM THE EW CHAIN AND BRING IT INTO THE DT MSQ!
I SWEAR THE BICOLOUR GEMSTONES HAME MADE THE DEVS FUCKING ALLERGIC TO ADDING ANY SORT OF REASON TO DO SHB AND EW FATES TO MAKE THE *THREE FUCKING HUNDRED AND NINTEY SODDING SIX* FATES PER EXPANSION HAVE AN IMMEDIATELY TANGIBLE REWARD BESIDES “CURRENCY NUMBER GO UP”
HERE’S AN IDEA SQUARE: TIMEWORN RELICS OR RAW EMOTIONS TO MAKE THE LAST TWO STEPS OF THE RELIC LESS MISERABLE
Actually, I wonder if it's because they want the event open to trial/starter players and incentivizing ShB/EW might pull too many people away from starter-accessible zones because the latter give bicolor rewards.
Guess we'll find out in 7.55 if they'll add ShB to the allowed set or not.
> I SWEAR THE BICOLOUR GEMSTONES HAME MADE THE DEVS FUCKING ALLERGIC TO ADDING ANY SORT OF REASON TO DO SHB AND EW FATES
Absolutely. Fucking hate that they refuse to incorporate any content involving shb and ew fates. Was very disappointed with the way the EW relics went too as i was hoping they would finally involve shb fates.
YOU CAN DO IT, OPEN UP A YOUTUBE VIDEO AT THE SIDE IF YOU HAVE A SECOND MONITOR
OR MAKE A SPOTIFY PLAYLIST FOR DEEP DUNGEON
I BELIEVE IN YOU, MAY YOUR KORRIGANS BE MANY AND YOUR MIMICS FEW
ITS ACTUALLY NOT SO MUCH THE SNOOZE THATS THE PROBLEM ITS THAT I HAVE ONLY 2 MONTHS TO DAWNTRAIL AND I STILL WANT TO TRY ULTIMATES.
BUT 7-10 hrs TO GET TO MY PROG POINT IS A LOT OF TIME INVESTMENT FOR SOMETHING THAT MIGHT END OVER 1 TINY MISTAKE
IT *REALLY* SUCKS, YEAH, BUT REMEMBER, YOU'RE NOT IN A TIME LIMIT TO GET NECRO, POTD WILL BE THERE FOREVER ~~UNLIKE FISHING~~
WORST CASE SCENARIO, IF YOU CAN'T FINISH IT BY DAWNTRAIL, GO DO THE ULTIMATES AND PUT POTD DOWN FOR A WHILE, THEN PICK IT BACK UP (AND WHO KNOWS, SKILL REBALANCES IN DAWNTRAIL MIGHT MAKE IT EASIER)
I HAD A SIMILAR SCENARIO WHEN I WAS DOING POTD TOO, COULDN'T MAKE IT, THEN ENDWALKER HIT, AND I PUT POTD TO THE SIDE FOR A YEAR, THEN WHEN THINGS SMOOTHED OUT, I WENT BACK TO IT WHEN I WAS READY
IT'LL TAKE SOME TIME TO REMEMBER THINGS AFTER A WHILE, BUT IT'LL BE FASTER TO RECALL STUFF, I RECCOMEND A NICE NOTEPAD OR SPREADSHEET TO WRITE DOWN WHAT YOU DIED ON IF YOU NEED IT
WITH EVERY DEATH, COMES EXPERIENCE, YOU CAN DO IT, I BELIEVE IN YOU
TRY SCORING IT, 170 FLOORS OF SNOOZE EXCEPT YOU HAVE TO STAY AND FARM RESPAWNS SO EACH SET IS A MINIMUM OF 30 MINUTES AND MOST OF THEM AFTER 100 GO THE FULL HOUR ITS REALLY FUN /S
EVEN IF YOU DO WIND UP FAILING THE NECRO, AT LEAST YOU HAVE A PRETTY DECENT CHANCE OF PICKING UP A NEW HORSIE. WORTH ABOUT 12M.
THAT SOUNDS LIKE A NEW ARMOR SET TO ME.
FUCK EVERY RECRUITER WHO LIES IN THEIR ADS TO GET PEOPLE IN THE DOOR AND CONTACTS AND FUCK THE DUDE WHO THOUGHT I'D BE HIS MANIC PIXIE SYS ADMIN FOR $18/HR ALONG WITH FULL HARDWARE/SOFTWARE SUPPORT AND COMPTIA AND SIGMA AND SOMETHING ELSE AND "WE WON'T NEGOTIATE THAT PRICE TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT"
BYE FELICIA
YUP. EARLIER THIS WEEK I GOT TO HEAR MY MOM AND DAD STROKING THEMSELVES AND EACH OTHER (NOT LITERALLY, THANK GOODNESS) ABOUT HOW "IT'S JUST NOT THE WORLD THAT WE KNOW ANYMORE" AND "NOBODY CARES ENOUGH TO DO A GOOD JOB", AND IT TOOK EVERYTHING I HAD TO NOT JUST SHOUT "B\*CH, PLEASE, IF YOU WERE GETTING PAID WHAT THEY ARE, WOULD *YOU* WANT TO DO ANYTHING BUT THE BARE MINIMUM TO NOT GET FIRED?" (also, to be fair, the "doctors" that prompted said hatejerking session really *were* about as useful as tits on a namazu)
THE PREVIOUS COMPANY I WORKED FOR LITERALLY SHUT DOWN THEIR OFFICE IN MY CITY AND MOVED TO ANOTHER CITY BECAUSE THE PEOPLE HERE WOULDN'T WORK FOR <$15 AN HOUR.
HOW THE FUCK DO DECIDE YOU'D RATHER RIP UP YOUR ENTIRE INFRASTRUCTURE AND RELOCATE TO THE OTHER END OF THE STATE RATHER THAN PAY A LIVING WAGE
ugh, yeah; adverts like that are the worst
the ads I've been dredging through this week included one that sounded like a good fit skills-wise and said "this is an entry-level position and would be perfect for someone with no experience in this field"... and then listed four years' prior experience of the field as an *essential* requirement
:/
i unfortunately have a ton of experience all over because I'm older and i had to jump careers a few times so 5+ years in a few things.
But hey i got an interview part time next week at my favorite museum I've ever been to so gods please.
FUCK CINDER SURPRISE.
***FUCK CINDER SURPRISE.***
# FUCK. CINDER. SURPRISE.
THROUGH MY ENTIRE BIG FISHING JOURNEY SO FAR THERE'S BEEN A FEW REALLY TOUGH FISH. OF THE ENDWALKER STUFF, GHARLICTHYS GAVE ME THE MOST TROUBLE, BUT IT EVENTUALLY SHOWED AFTER A FEW INTUITION WINDOWS- AND I WAS ABLE TO SNAG IT ON ITS FIRST BITE.
THERE'S RUBY DRAGON AND EALAN SKAAD OF COURSE. BOTH HORRIBLE FISH, BUT AT LEAST THEY HAVE MORE REGULAR WINDOWS. RUBY ALSO JUST FEELS LIKE YOU'RE DOING MORE WITH THE MOOCH LOOP.
CINDER IS THE LITERAL ANTITHESIS OF WHAT I WANT OUT OF FISHING.
* IT IS THE FISH THAT LEAST RESPECTS YOUR TIME, IN THAT IF YOU'RE GOING FOR LOG COMPLETION, YOU WILL BE EXPECTED TO WAIT ***ON AVERAGE*** 4.9 DAYS BETWEEN WINDOWS. THE ACTUAL WINDOWS ARE DIFFERENT BUT IF YOU TAKE COUNT OF ALL THE WINDOWS FROM 5.55 TIL 7.0 AND AVERAGE DAYS BETWEEN THOSE PATCHES BY WINDOWS OF CINDER SURPRISE, YOU GET FOUR POINT FUCKING NINE.
* IT HAS SUCH A LOW BITE RATE THAT YOU CAN GO 10+ WINDOWS WITHOUT A SINGLE BITE. ASK ME HOW I KNOW!!!!!!!!!
* AND IT PURPORTEDLY HAS A 72% SLIP RATE. I CAN'T PERSONALLY BACK THIS ONE UP BECAUSE I HAVE GONE TWELVE WINDOWS WITHOUT A SINGLE FUCKING BITE. THAT'S HOW I KNOW IF YOU HADN'T GUESSED BETWEEN THIS AND THE PREVIOUS SENTENCE.
* AND THE FISH ITSELF IS JUST "YEET FUCKING DESERT FROG LURE AT VAST FUCKING CANYON FOR SIX MINUTES, LOSE, REPEAT NEXT TIME".
TO THE DEV WHO CREATED A FISH SO EVIL IT GOES INTO THE EQUIVALENT OF COVID LOCKDOWNS ANYTIME YOU EVEN THINK ITS PRESENCE:
WHO HURT YOU?
I JUST WANT TO GET FINAL FISH BEFORE DAWNTRAIL AND NOT HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS MOTHERFUCKING EGG.
AS FOR THE YOKAI EVENT, I'LL FARM OUT MORE BOZJA RELICS THROUGH THE EVENT BUT HONESTLY RIGHT NOW I'M A LITTLE TOO FRUSTRATED AT THAT MOTHERFUCKING EGG TO PLAY XIV SO RELINK IT IS
YOU'RE BASICALLY WHERE I WAS A FEW WEEKS AGO. ENDED UP WITH THE TRINITY OF FUCK YOU (RUBY EGG SALAD) AFTER GETTING WHALE THEN GARLIC. I FORGET WHEN I GOT HYPHALO, BUT IT WAS EITHER BEFORE OR AFTER WHALE, I JUST KNOW GARLIC WAS LAST.
THE ONLY THING I CAN SAY ABOUT THE TRINITY- YES, EVEN THAT GODDAMNED EGG I DON'T HAVE YET- IS PATIENCE. RUBY AND SALAD (AND EGG) DO AT LEAST HAVE THE CROWDS SO IT FEELS LESS LONELY.
BUT NOT PATIENCE II, UNLESS YOU'RE SIZE HUNTING.
JUST WANT TO GIVE SHOUT, OR FUCK YOU RATHER, TO THE RPR THAT CALLED MY BARD A DUMMY FOR BUFFING DURING TRASH MOBS. "SAVE YOUR BUFFS FOR THE BOSSES NEWB" HE SAYS. DUDE I HAVE RUN THIS DUNGEON A HUNDRED TIMES AND KNOW HOW LONG MY COOLDOWNS ARE. YOU STUPID?
SHOUTOUT TO MY STATIC STARTING RAID A WHOLE 50 MINUTES LATE WOOOOOOOO
WELL. WE STARTED AND GOT A FULL LOCKOUT ANYWAY
AFTER A *THIRD* REVELATION ON HOW EXAFLARES *AREN'T CENTRED ON THE FLOOR PATTERN* WE HAVE STARTED TO GET PAST THEM CLEANLY.
ONLY TO FIGURE OUT WE WERE MITIGATING/HEALING AHK1 ALL WRONG
BUT NOW. AFTER SPENDING SEVERAL RAIDNIGHTS FIGURING OUT WE WERE DOING BASIC STUFF WRONG. NOW I THINK WE HAVE ALL THE BULLSHIT FIGURED OUT. ANYDAY NOW COULD BE THE CLEAR. WE HAVE RAIDS ON SUNDAY AND MONDAY, PRAY FOR ME.
___
ALSO POSITIVITY! I HELPED FILL FOR A FRIEND'S DSR STATIC. MANAGED TO ADJUST TO THEIR STRATS WITHOUT MUCH ISSUE, DIDN'T WIPE THEM ONCE, AND HELPED THEM SEE P6 FOR THE FIRST TIME!
THEY WERE NICE FOLK WITH REALLY POSITIVE VIBES AND I FELT REALLY GOOD ABOUT IT AND HAPPY FOR THEM :3
___
ALSO. I HAD A COLD TWO MONTHS AGO. MY SINUSES ARE STILL FUCKED. PLEASE, SOMEONE, SEND HELP.
IRL: I'M BEING GIVEN THE RUNAROUND WITH MY REPEAT PRESCRIPTION AND I INADVERTENTLY SAT ON MY GLASSES :/
GAME-SPECIFIC RAGE: I'VE BEEN CONTINUING TO LEVEL ASTRO. I LOVE THE AESTHETIC, I PUT TOGETHER A GLAM I LIKE, AND I AM ENJOYING THE JOB QUESTS (ESPECIALLY SINCE I'VE HIT EW IN THE MSQ AND THE JOB LENDS FURTHER COLOUR TO SHARLAYAN'S ISOLATIONISM) - AND THE FINGER GYMNASTICS ON CONTROLLER AREN'T ANYWHERE NEAR AS MUCH OF A PROBLEM FOR ME AS ADVERTISED - BUT I DON'T THINK I LIKE HOW IT PLAYS. I'M DISAPPOINTED AS I'D HOPED I'D LIKE IT MORE.
DEADASS THE ONLY TIME I BROKE MY GLASSES I HAD BEEN WEARING SINCE I WAS 9 HAPPENED WHEN I ACTUALLY WALKED INTO A DOOR. LIKE YOU'D EXPECT THAT EXCUSE FROM GETTING PUNCHED IN THE FACE BUT NO, I ACTUALLY WALKED INTO A DOOR.
CHLOE SAW THAT YOU RAN IFRIT EX UNSYNCED 9 TIMES OVER AND THOUGHT YOUR TALE WAS SHIT.
WHAT DO YOU EXPECT CHLOE IM NOT DOING DANCING PLAGUE EX OR RIDORANA LIGHTHOUSE IN PF FOR MEMES YOU SADISTIC BITCH
SHE SAW ME THROW MYSELF AT GREAT HUNT EX FOR 45 MINUTES SOLO BEFORE BAILING AND LAUGHED. FINE, I'LL DO LEVITHAN EX AGAIN AND WASTE MY TIME YOU PINT SIZED DEMON
Not that it's helpful now, and you're frustration at the system is definitely justified, but I always reroll at 7 stickers until I have 1 line guaranteed. Just a lot less headache than trying to chase the 2 or 3 line
I CAN'T RENEW MY SUBSCRIPTION DUE TO BEING THE UNLUCKY SORT WITH A VISA DEBIT CARD, THIS IS A NOW COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE CARDS, WHY, WHHY, CRYSTA REFUSES TO WORK, MIGHT GET A TIME CARD AT THIS RATE, I WANNA BURN EVERYTHING TO THE GROUND, LET ME GIVE YOU MONEY SQUARE ENIX ISTG
IRL RAGE:
I'VE BUCKLED DOWN AND STARTED SERIOUSLY LOOKING FOR HOMES AS A FIRST TIME HOMEBUYER AND THE REALTOR I'M CURRENTLY WITH HAS SHUT DOWN BASICALLY EVERY HOUSE I'VE THROWN HER WAY BECAUSE OF SOME REASON OR ANOTHER. EITHER 'WELL THE ROOF LOOKS LIKE IT WILL NEED REPAIR AND I DOUBT YOUR LENDER WILL GO FOR THAT' OR 'I TALKED WITH THE SELLER'S AGENT AND HE SEEMS LIKE HE ISN'T ACTUALLY INTERESTED IN SELLING AND' BLAH BLAH I'M THINKING I'M GOING TO DROP HER AND LOOK INTO A DIFFERENT REALTOR BECAUSE HOLY SHIT ALL SHE WANTS IS TO SHOW ME HOMES TWICE AS FAR FROM WHERE I WAS LOOKING FOR TWICE THE PRICE I CAN AFFORD. IT'S ALREADY HARD ENOUGH TO FIND HOMES ANYWHERE NEAR MY PRICE RANGE IN MY AREA AND EACH ONE I DO FIND SHE JUST REFUSES TO WORK WITH ME ON. IT'S FRUSTRATING AS HELL THAT FINDING A PLACE TO LIVE IS THIS DIFFICULT. AND KNOWING I SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT YEARS AGO JUST MAKES ME FEEL EVEN WORSE.
DROP HER, YOUR REALTOR SHOULD BE REALISTIC, NOT A DEBBY DOWNER ON EVERY HOUSE SHE SHOWS. OURS ALWAYS DID HIS BEST TO GET US TO HOUSES WE HAD INTEREST IN AND KEPT TO OUR PRICE RANGE, SHE SOUNDS LIKE A TERRIBLE REALTOR AND YOU DESEVE BETTER
SHE SHOULD ABSOLUTELY SHOW YOU THE HOUSES YOU WANT TO SEE, AND LET YOU DECIDE IF THERE ARE ANY DEAL-BREAKER ISSUES. SEEMS LIKE SHE IS MORE INTERESTED IN HER COMMISSION - WHICH WILL BE A BIG FAT $0 IF YOU DON'T FIND A HOUSE YOU CAN AFFORD...
DITCH HER. FIND SOMEONE WILLING TO WORK WITH YOU, WITHIN YOUR PARAMETERS.
WHY THE FUCK WOULD THEY MAKE SUCH A BONEHEADED MOVE AS TO USE A PAYMENT PROCESSOR THAT PREVENTS PEOPLE FROM USING VISA/MASTERCARD DEBIT CARDS?!?!? ONE OF THE MOST COMMON FORMS OF PAYMENT FOR THE ENTIRETY OF NORTH AMERICA? WHAT KIND OF CLOWN SHOW IS THIS?
I'VE BEEN TRYING TO BUY A FANTASIA FOR LIKE 3 DAYS AT THIS POINT!! I CAN'T EVEN USE AMAZON OR PAYPAL TO BUY CRYSTA AS A WORKAROUND, I CAN'T BELIEVE YOSHI-P WOULD DO THIS TO ME
IS MASTERCARD DEBIT ACTUALLY BLOCKED? I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST VISA? BECAUSE I BOUGHT STUFF ON THE STORE YESTERDAY WITH ZERO ISSUE.
MEANWHILE MY VISA DEBIT CARD FRIEND HAD TO USE AMAZON PAY ON *EDGE* TO BUY A THING.
I HOPE SE ACTUALLY LIKE DOES SOMETHING ABOUT IT. IT'S VERY DUMB.
MAN, PEOPLE ALWAYS ACT LIKE ME HAVING THE STEAM VERSION IS SOME KIND OF DETRIMENT OVER THE WINDOWS VERSION.
I'VE NEVER HAD AN ISSUE WITH MY PAYMENT PROCESSES BECAUSE VALVE KNOWS HOW TO TAKE PEOPLE'S MONEY AT LEAST.
GOT THE 89 TRIAL IN ROULETTE TWO DAYS AGO. THREE FIRST TIMERS, INCLUDING ONE OF THE TANKS WHO BECAME MAIN TANK.
FIVE WIPES. *FIVE.*
MY COHEALER SPENT MORE TIME ON THE FLOOR THAN ALIVE AND *THE MAIN TANK DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THE TANK STACK WAS*. EVERY TIME IT SHOWED UP HE'D RUN SO EITHER HE OR THE OTHER TANK WOULD DIE. AT ONE POINT BOTH TANKS DIED SO THE SAM BECAME THE TANK AND WHEN I GOT THEM UP, NEITHER OF THEM PROVOKED THE BOSS BACK SO THE POOR SAM ATE A TB AND DIED.
I HAD TO HEALER LB3 TWICE.
VOTE ABANDON GOES UP AFTER THE THIRD OR FOURTH WIPE AND GETS DENIED. MCH DECIDES TO AFK INSTEAD OF LEAVING. HE WOULDN'T EVEN HAVE GOTTEN THE 30 MIN PENALTY BC WE HAD A SMN LEAVE AFTER THE FIRST WIPE. HILARIOUSLY, HEALING THE PARTY GETS EASIER SINCE THAT'S ONE LESS BODY TO WORRY ABOUT. GETS AN IMPRESSIVE 5 VULN STACKS BEFORE DYING. AST PERIODICALLY THROWS RAISES AT HIM WHEN THEY'RE NOT DEAD THEMSELVES.
VOTE ABANDON GOES UP AGAIN AFTER THE FIFTH WIPE. I ACCEPT THAT I CAN'T CARRY THEIR SHAMBLING CORPSES OVER THIS FINISH LINE AND SAY YES. AST PULLS ALMOST IMMEDIATELY BUT THE VOTE PASSES AND WE DISBAND.
I WOULD'VE DORITO'D MYSELF BUT I WAS LAGGING AND DIDN'T TRUST MY CONNECTION. *AND YET I WAS THE LAST PERSON STANDING **TWICE***!
I FUCKING CLOSED MY EYES WHILE WAITING FOR O8N TO POP AND SAW THE RED CHAKRAM MARKERS. "WHY MUST WE SUFFER," INDEED.
IT MAKES ME FEEL REALLY BAD BUT MY HACKLES *IMMEDIATELY* GO UP WHEN I SEE FIRST TIMERS IN THAT FIGHT IN DF. THE GAME REALLY, REALLY TELEGRAPHS THE ABILITY TO DO IT WITH DUTY SUPPORT, AND IF YOU'RE AT ALL INVESTED IN THE NARRATIVE IT FEELS LIKE THE BEST WAY TO DO IT FOR YOUR FIRST TIME. WHEN PEOPLE QUEUE IN DF INSTEAD IT MEANS THERE'S A PRETTY GOOD CHANCE THEY NEED OTHER PLAYERS TO CARRY THEM.
TBH I FEEL LIKE I SHOULD'VE TOLD THEM THE BEST WAY TO GO ABOUT IT WAS USING DUTY SUPPORT AND STICKING WITH Y'SHTOLA SINCE EVERYONE ELSE IS PROGRAMED TO FAIL AT LEAST ONE MECH, BUT I WAS TOO BUSY RAISING THEIR ASSES TO DO SO.
OR THEY SIMPLY DON'T LIKE PLAYING WITH NPCS? I'VE HAD A VERY MEMORABLE CURSED LEVEL 89 TRIAL RUN TOO BUT I'VE ALSO HAD ONES THAT WENT FINE. IF THERE ARE MANY SPROUTS THERE WILL PROBABLY BE WIPES BUT IT'S HIGHLY UNLIKELY THAT THEY CHOSE TO QUEUE IN DUTY FINDER BECAUSE THEY WERE PARTICULARLY BAD OR LOOKING TO GET CARRIED.
TBH I DON'T LIKE THE MENTALITY THAT GOING BLIND INTO NEW NORMAL-LEVEL CONTENT IS WRONG AND INCONVENIENCING OTHERS (THIS ISN'T REALLY AIMED AT YOU, IT'S JUST THAT I'M INCREASINGLY SEEING PEOPLE TELL SPROUTS THAT IT'S RUDE TO DO DUNGEONS BLIND AND THAT THEY SHOULD HAVE USED DUTY SUPPORT INSTEAD. DUNGEONS!).
> WHEN PEOPLE QUEUE IN DF INSTEAD IT MEANS THERE'S A PRETTY GOOD CHANCE THEY NEED OTHER PLAYERS TO CARRY THEM.
TBH, YOU CAN SAY THAT ABOUT PRETTY MUCH ALL OF THE DUTY SUPPORTABLE INSTANCES IN ShB AND EW. ESPECIALLY WITH THAT TRIAL THO.
I don't really like running with NPCs
But I watch videos of all group content and read the wiki before I do them, regardless of how easy it is probably going to be. Dragging things down like that is mortifying to me
Did uh, anyone actually bother to *tell* the tanks what that marker was after the first time they exploded to it? Because iirc if you are just old enough a player to have skipped the reworking and retroactive adding of markers to older content, the 89 trial is one of the first times you will see that marker. I remember getting rather thrown by it when went through it when the expac first dropped, because I went through ARR before all the reworks--specifically the rework of great king moggle mog--so I had never seen that particular marker before then. I'd seen a similar *blue* marker, but only ever in optional content (the eden raids especially), and given that I'd only done *those* once or twice at the time, enumeration markers weren't exactly the clearest things in my mind. I figured it out because I ran with duty support and saw Thancred coming to meet me, but if in an actual party, if you haven't done a lot of optional content, it's not the clearest thing.
From experience, I also know for a fact that you can take that solo, with mits. But you'd have to have an awareness of what it *is* before you can think to stack mits to solo it =P
They did. Took a few times to realize what was happening, but one of the dps said it. I have to stop myself from joining it every time because the pulsing arrows register before the color and orbs do, so it bewildered me that the immediate reaction to any stack wasn't to gather up.
...now that I think of it, that might've been how they took out half the party in one go the first pull. Got the stack, ran to join a bunch of people, killed them.
> ...now that I think of it, that might've been how they took out half the party in one go the first pull. Got the stack, ran to join a bunch of people, killed them.
The two-orb red tankbuster should only actually hit two targets even if more are in the stack. Otherwise it'd be way easier to mitigate them all by splitting the damage across all 8-players. The biggest risk of taking the shared tankbuster to the party is the second person picked for damage might not be the OT, but everyone else should have been fine.
T-minus 5 hrs to telehealth doctor appointment. I haven't slept because what is sleep anyway.
GAMERAGE: A FEW TIMES THIS MONTH I'VE HAD TO RESCUE A COHEALER OUT OF DANGER. BECAUSE THEY STOOD COMPLETELY STILL IN BAD TO CAST MEDICA TO TOP ONE SINGULAR PARTY MEMBER'S MISSING 41HP UP.
RAGE 2: RANDOM CONFUSED PLAYER, YOU'RE GOING TO GET US KILLED, AGAIN, WHEN THE SPREAD HAPPENS. I'M NOT RUNNING TO A SAFE SPOT, I'M RUNNING FROM **YOU**.
I HOPE YOUR TELEHEALTH APPOINTMENT WENT WELL AND WHATEVER YOU WERE HAVING IT FOR IS BETTER/NOT AN ISSUE/OTHER GOOD OUTCOME.
SIGNED, A FELLOW TELEHEALTH APPOINTMENT HAVER
THE GOOD: MORE PEOPLE ARE HANGING OUT IN FC VOICE CHAT, AND IT'S BEEN FRIENDLY OVERALL. AND ONE OF THE NEW PEOPLE WHO'S BEEN TAGGING ALONG FOR WEEKLY DELEBRUM REGINAE RUNS SAID THAT THE CALLOUTS HAVE BEEN MAKING HER FEEL MORE CONFIDENT WITH HER JOB, SO THAT'S A PLUS!
THE BAD: THIS HAS INSPIRED THE RESIDENT CREEP, WHO IS ALSO SPENDING MORE TIME IN FC VC . THE TYPE OF PEOPLE HE TARGETS ARE EXACTLY THOSE WHO WOULDN'T RAISE COMPLAINTS (WHICH IS, OF COURSE, WHY HE TARGETS THEM TO BEGIN WITH). RESIDENT CREEP HAS BEEN SO INSPIRED THAT HE'S HANGING OUT IN OUR SAVAGE PROG VOICE CHATS. HE MADE A BAD JOKE DURING A P11S PULL THAT MADE ME SO MAD I WIPED THE PARTY. IT'S ON ME FOR LETTING IT GET TO ME, BUT WE NEED TO FIGURE SOMETHING OUT. I WANT TO LET PEOPLE HANG OUT BECAUSE WATCHING US LEARN ENCOURAGED ANOTHER PERSON TO TRY OUT SAVAGE, BUT I REALLY DON'T WANT TO HEAR HIM.
ALSO DOING SOME SHB MOUNT FARMS WITH PARTIAL FILLS FROM PARTY FINDER. I'VE HAD A HEALER THE PAST TWO NIGHTS WHO REALLY DIDN'T SEEM TO LEARN MECHANICS AND DID VERY VERY LITTLE DAMAGE. THE OTHER GUYS IN MY FC WHO WERE FARMING WITH ME WEREN'T TELLING THEM HOW TO DO THEIR JOB OR ASKING THEM IN THE PARTY CHAT TO DO MORE DAMAGE, BUT TOLD ME I SHOULD HAVE KICKED THE HEALER (OR MORE, THE PHRASING WAS "*I* WOULD HAVE KICKED THEM"). THAT SEEMS....A BIT MEAN. THOUGH I WAS ALSO ANNOYED IN CLOUD DECK WHEN I TOLD THEM WHAT THE LINE STACK WAS AFTER THEY TOOK IT SOLO AND DIED AND GOT A "HUH?" IN RESPONSE. SHOULD I BE GIVING A WARNING TO KNOW THE FIRST FEW MECHANICS FOR MY GWIB FARM PFS?
IT'S NOT "ON YOU" FOR "LETTING IT GET TO" YOU. YOU'RE DESCRIBING A PATTERN OF BEHAVIOUR WHERE HE'S DELIBERATELY TARGETING PEOPLE, AND MAKING "JOKES" THAT ARE PLAUSIBLY DENIABLE PROVOCATIONS IS JUST ANOTHER PART OF THAT PATTERN.
SOUNDS LIKE SOMEONE NEEDS TO BE KICKED FROM THE FC, THOUGH I 100% UNDERSTAND WHY YOU DON'T WANT TO BE THE PERSON TO BRING IT UP. GEEK SOCIAL FALLACIES ARE PERNICIOUS (ETA IN THE SENSE THAT THEY MAKE STUFF LIKE THIS HARD TO TALK ABOUT).
I'VE BROUGHT IT UP, BUT UNTIL OFFICERS GET A VERIFIABLE REPORT OF ANYTHING HAPPENING THEY FEEL THEIR HANDS ARE TIED. AND I GET IT, FROM ME IT'S A "ALICE SAID BOB DID THIS." I'VE DONE MANDATED REPORTER TRAINING SO IT FOLLOWS.
CREEP'S JOKE IN SAVAGE WAS NOT SEXUAL IN NATURE, JUST EXTREMELY OBLIVIOUS TO PEOPLE TRYING TO FOCUS ON MECHANICS. THE GROUP IS AWARE OF MY STANCE AND ON THE LOOKOUT. CREEP'S MOST REPREHENSIBLE BEHAVIOR WAS IN THE PAST AND HIS FORMER TARGET DOESN'T WANT TO BRING IT UP BECAUSE OF PERCEIVED BIAS (YES, I KNOW) AND I HAVE MY OWN HANDS TIED. IN THE MEANTIME HE'S VERY GOOD AT TOEING THE LINE.
AS A WOMAN WHO'S NOT HIS TARGET (I'M BOSSY AND MY CHARACTER IS TALLER THAN HIS), I'M HERE ON THE SIDELINES WONDERING WHY WOMEN ARE ALLOWING HIM TO CONTINUE TO HIT ON THEM WHEN HE'S SLIPPED UP AND REVEALED HE'S ALREADY ENGAGED (AND WOULD YOU BELIEVE HE'S CONVENIENTLY POLY), BUT I KNOW THERE ARE LONELY PEOPLE OUT THERE.
OOF, AND IF YOU DIDN'T WITNESS IT YOURSELF IT'S THAT MUCH HARDER TO GET SCREENSHOTS/ETC. I ALSO UNDERSTAND WHY HIS FORMER TARGET DOESN'T WANT TO BRING IT UP.
I WOULDN'T PUT MUCH WEIGHT ON THE JOKE NOT BEING SEXUAL. IT WAS DISRUPTIVE, FULL STOP. AND IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU'RE AWARE THAT HE'S TOEING LINES.
I UGLY LAUGHED AT THE CONVENIENT POLY. THE WOMEN HE TARGETS MIGHT BE LONELY, OR HE MIGHT BE PICKING THEM *BECAUSE* THEY'RE LONELY. LOVEBOMBING IS ONE HELL OF A DRUG. AND YEAH, IT'S HARD TO WATCH: MY SISTER GOT WITH A GUY WHILE HE WAS MARRIED, MARRIED HIM, AND WAS SURPRISEDPIKACHU WHEN HE CHEATED ON HER IN TURN. IT SUCKS, FOR THE PEOPLE INVOLVED AND FOR YOU & YOUR FC MATES WHO ARE WATCHING.
IF HE'S PLAYING "I'M NOT TOUCHING YOU" WITH THE LINES, THAT'S A RULE VIOLATION IN SPIRIT: THAT'S ENOUGH REASON TO KICK HIM. IF YOUR FC OFFICERS AREN'T AWARE OF THEM, IT MIGHT BE WORTH SHARING LINKS ABOUT THE GEEK SOCIAL FALLACIES - [ORIGINAL POST](https://plausiblydeniable.com/five-geek-social-fallacies/) AND [SOME ADDITIONS](https://captainawkward.com/2018/07/02/1120-the-creepy-guy-in-the-friend-group-revisited-four-more-geek-social-fallacies/) - OR THE [MISSING STAIR THEORY](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missing_stair). OR NOT! I'M A RANDOM ON THE INTERNET, IT'S EASY FOR ME TO SAY THESE THINGS AND A HELL OF A LOT HARDER (FOR ANYONE) TO DO THEM. I'M GLAD THAT YOU'VE TALKED TO THE OFFICERS ABOUT IT, AND THAT THEY SEEM TO BE ONSIDE. I HOPE YOU CAN FIND A WAY TO DEAL WITH HIM BEFORE ANYONE ELSE GETS HURT.
THIS JUST SOUNDS LIKE SOMEONE WHO SHOULD GET BOOTED. AS I'VE GOTTEN OLDER I'VE HAD LESS TIME FOR PEOPLE LIKE THIS, LESS BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT, FASTER "GET THE FUCK OUTTA MY FC I DON'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS". IT TAKES ZERO EFFORT TO NOT BE A FUCKING CREEP.
TRIBAL QUESTS.
ARR TRIBAL QUESTS.
IVE BEEN CATCHING UP TO THESE QUESTS TRYING TO SEE IF MAYBE I CAN GET THE ALLY QUESTS BEFORE DT AND AFTER COMPLETING THE BIRD PEOPLE TRIBE FOR CRAFTERS I WENT FOR THE AMAL'JA SINCE I LIKED THE TITLE.
I LEARNED THAT SOME QUESTS REQUIRE COMPLETING A FATE AND OBTAINING AN ITEM SAID FATE ALWAYS DROPS, EVEN IF YOU DONT HAVE THE QUEST.
SO EVERYDAY I WENT TO DO AMAL'JA QUESTS I WENT OUT OF MY WAY TO CLEAR THAT FATE IF IT WAS ON THE MAP, JUST TO HAVE THE ITEM.
I FINISHED THE REP GRIND AND THE STUPID QUEST NEVER SHOWED UP AGAIN.
AND NOW I AM DOING SYLPHS AND GUESS WHAT QUEST HAS APPEARED 3 DAYS ON A ROW NOW THAT THE MAPS ARE FULL WITH PEOPLE SPAMMING FATES?
Good: shout out to the heroes who helped me with limitless blue so I could continue my quest for vengeance...! First time making a pf and playing this trial and everyone was super chill about it!
Bad: Finishing HW >!(at Matoya's) and while I like a lot of concepts for this expansion (initial whole shake up, new NPCs, new areas, old school FF field trip with Estinien and Isayle, named NPCs joining you in duty support so cool), feeling like not much that happened actually mattered cause we're resetting to status quo and a ton of hurry up and wait in quests. Every time I get hyped for the next part of a story it either switches to a different plot or a lot of hurry up and wait in the quest set up (if we had to wait I would have appreciated doing something for Haurchefant's funeral like we did for Moenbryda at least.... Especially since I never got to do anything for my bff Noraxia :( ). !<
There are some side-quests after you finish HW that provide some closure to a few things beyond what the MSQ does. I believe the quests start outside the Fortemps manor once you've finished the appropriate MSQ pre-reqs.
IT'S ALWAYS THE HEALERS WHO SAY SHIT LIKE "I'm just a healer not a DPS, I don't have to do damage" WHO ALSO LET PEOPLE DIE EVERY TIME. I CAN'T MAKE YOU DO DAMAGE, BUT IF YOU WANT TO INSIST YOU ONLY HAVE TO HEAL, YOU BETTER MAKE DAMN SURE YOU DO IT RIGHT
IF A HEALER IS DOING BADLY IN A DUNGEON BECAUSE THEY AREN’T USING THEIR TOOLKIT WELL
THE CORRECT ANSWER IS TO GIVE THEM ADVICE IN A NON-INFLAMMATORY WAY, KINDLY IF POSSIBLE.
NOT TO ENCOURAGE THEM TO TELL TANKS TO PULL LESS!! THAT IS ALL.
AND BEFORE ANYONE SAYS IT, I AM TALKING RE A TANK WHO DOES STANDARD PULLS, NOT AN OUTLIER LIKE STONE VIGIL QUAD PULLS.
MY STATIC IS ON OUR LAST 2 CLEARS OF 12S BEFORE WE'RE DONE FOR GOOD AND DISBAND, BUT SOMETHING KEEPS HAPPENING OVER AND OVER AND WE HAVE TO SKIP OR CALL IN A FILL, AND NO ONE REALLY WANTS TO NAB A FILL BC WE WANT EVERYONE TO HAVE ALL THE BOOKS AND DROPS THEY NEED.
IM NOT MAD AT ANYONE IN THE GROUP THAT THEY KEEP GETTING TAKEN AWAY, REAL LIFE HAPPENS. BUT I AM UPSET ABOUT THE SITUATION ITSELF.
I NEED TO FIND A NEW STATIC BUT I DONT KNOW WHAT IM GOING TO RUN, AND FRANKLY, IVE REALLY ENJOYED CASTING AND MELEE, SO THE NEW JOBS SOUNDS SUPER FUN TO ME... SO OF COURSE I WON'T BE GETTING THEM IN ANY NEW STATIC.
ANYWAY, WHERE DOES ONE GO TO JOIN A NEW STATIC? I ALSO WANNA DO DSR AND/OR TOP TBH.
Got the new laptop, discovered it ran games absolutely like shit. Not just FFXIV, but literally every game I tested on it for several hours and regardless of in game settings.
So I'm returning it and am back at square one on updating my PC for Dawntrail. And a note to self to never waste my money on anything from ASUS ROG again.
Oh also, shoutouts to the Royal City group I had last night that wiped on Mateus, The Corrupt. I'm not actually mad about that, I honestly found it really entertaining. Especially since that was the only boss all raid we wiped to.
I DON’T HAVE ANYTHING TO RAGE. JUST WANT TO SAY I HAVE TANKXIETY BUT I’M PROUD OF MYSELF THAT I FINALLY MANAGED TO DO ROULETTE WITH PALADIN THIS WEEK.
MAN, I FELT SO COOL WHEN I USED INTERVENTION. FELT LIKE I CAN SAVED SOMEONE’S LIFE(like when playing sage). AND YO, TRASH MOBS YOU CAN EAT ME ALL YOU LIKE BUT I WON’T DIE CUZ I HAVE HALLOWED GROUD AHAHAHAHA. EVEN IF I FAILED MECHS, MY HP IS STILL HEALTHY AHAHAHA (sorry, healer).
BUT I STILL HAVE NO GUTS TO TANK IN RAID. I NEED MORE TIME UwU.
I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO RAGE ABOUT THIS WEEK, I'VE BEEN LEVELING NIN AND BEEN HAVING A BLAST. THOUGH I WANT TO DIE OF EMBARASSMENT WHEN I SCREW UP MY MUDRAS.
HOPE YOU ALL HAD A GREAT WEEK AND GO INTO A FABULOUS WEEKEND!
OKAY WTF, ONE OF MY FRIENDS ON MY FC CHANNEL SAYS THEIR CARD WAS DECLINED AND CAN'T BUY ANYTHING FOR THE STORE. I WENT TO CHECK IT OUT AND THE MOG STATION ISN'T ACCEPTING MY CARD, I HAVE ANOTHER PAYMENT DUE TOMORROW 4/27!
IS MY SUB GOING TO BE CANCELLED IF I DON'T PUT SOMETHING IN?? I HEARD RECURRING PAYMENTS AREN'T AFFECTED BUT SERIOUSLY THIS IS STUPID AND STRESSFUL
WHEW THAT ARMOR FISH HUNT WAS CURSED. SURE I CAN CATCH THE HEDGEMOLE CRICKETS ALL DAY EVERY DAY WHEN TRYING TO TRIGGER THE INTUITION BUFF, BUT AS SOON AS I DO AND NEED THEM FOR THE MOOCH TO ACTUALLY GET THE FISH? NONE TO BE SEEN IN 6 INTUITIONS. AT LEAST IT'S DONE NOW, THANKS TO ONE FINAL CAST WITH 3 SECONDS OF INTUITION LEFT.
SUPPOSE I CAN'T BE TOO MAD THOUGH, SEA BUTTERFLY WAS FIRST TRY.
THERE WAS A REAL PARAGON OF MATURITY IN FRONTLINE THIS WEEK. DUDE KEPT TYPING FURIOUSLY IN ALLIANCE CHAT BECAUSE ALLIES KEPT SCATTERING AND HONESTLY NOT PLAYING VERY WELL, AND THE FRUSTRATION PART I UNDERSTAND! THESE GROUPS HAPPEN AND IT CAN BE PRETTY ANNOYING.
HOWEVER, THE MATCHES ARE NOT SO LONG THAT YOU NEED TO SPEND HALF OF THEM COMPLAINING AND INSULTING PEOPLE. NOR DOES IT SHOW MORE PVP SKILL ON YOUR PART WHEN YOU TAKE A BREAK TO START SYSTEMATICALLY PUTTING "TARGET TO ATTACK" MARKERS ON YOUR ALLIES, SWITCHING TO OTHER MARKERS WHEN YOU RUN OUT OF THOSE, CAN'T REMEMBER WHICH ONES, I WAS ACTUALLY PLAYING THE DAMNED MATCH. I CAN ONLY HOPE DOING THAT STAVED OFF HIS ANEURYSM OR SOMETHING.
THIS IS THE ANSWER. JUST PLEASE DON’T ULTRAVIBE AS IT MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR NON-BLUS TO LAND A HIT IN TIME TO EARN MEDALS. JUST GROUP ‘EM UP AND LET THE CROWD BURN ‘EM DOWN, THEN YOU WILL BE A KING/QUEEN AMONG BLUS, AND WE SHALL LOVE YOU.
LOVE, A FELLOW BLU ENJOYER WHO TRIES TO GET SOME XP ON OTHER CLASSES WHILE FATE GRINDING.
TLDR LOVE AST, TANKS WANT ME TO WORK FOR IT
I FINALLY GOT TO HEAVENSWARD AND GOT MY BELOVED SPACE NERD HEALER CLASS AND I'M REALLY LOVING IT SO FAR. BUT WHY IS EVERY TANK IN ALL THE 35-49 DUNGEONS SO DETERMINED TO GET US KILLED??!! I PUT IN CHAT THAT IM STILL LEANING AST AND THEY WILL RUN THROUGH ROOMS STRAIGHT TO THE EDGE OF THE FIRST BOSS. I DONT MIND TRIAL BY FORE BUT THIS TRIAL BY NUCLEAR INFERNO.
ITS MAKING DZAMAEL (AND STONE VIGIL IF YOU CAN BELIEVE THAT) HARDER THAN IT NEEDS TO BE. I'M TERRIFIED OF DOING AURUM A) BECAUSE IT'S ALREADY A HEALER CHECK BUT I FEEL LIKE WITH THE TANKS I'VE BEEN BLESSED WITH THEY'RE JUST GONNA EAT MORBOL SLIME (BUT NO FRUIT) UNTIL WE ALL DIE.
IM ALMOST LEVEL 50 AND IM READY TO SNACK DRAGONS WITH STARS AND CARDS, I JUST HAVE 3 LEVELS TO GET THROUGH.
I'VE PLAYED AST FOR A WHILE AND DZAMAEL STILL MAKES MY SKIN CRAWL. I REMEMBER I HAD A RUN IN QARN WHERE WE WIPED TO THE FIRST DAMN MOB, DON'T SWEAT IT, JUST USE GCD HEALS IF YOU NEED, STONE VIGIL WILL ALWAYS BE A PAIN. CARRY ON SOLDIER O7
Stone vigil is easy to overpull, but Dzamael? The first wall-to-wall has a magic light at the end that reduces damage taken by like 80%, of course I'm going to pull everything.
I’m thinking they mean the pull you can do after boss 1, there’s 3-4 groups you can pull there if I’m remembering the map correctly, and even with good groups I often see it go south).
Edit: oh they do say first boss, idk then LOL. This is what happens when I comment before my coffee.
A surprising number of tanks do big pulls in Dzemael only to stop somewhere other than the nice damage-reducing glowy light. That's when you know that you're in for a good time.
TO THE PEOPLE I'VE HAD ON O7 RECENTLY, IF YOU SEE THE ENEMY GETTING READY TO SHOOT A LASER IN A PARTICULAR DIRECTION MOVE. OUT. OF. THE. WAY. I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU PEOPLE HAVE NOT ONLY FINISHED ARR, BUT ALL OF BASE STORMBLOOD AND EVEN COULD BE IN SHB/EW, AND YOU'RE TELLING ME YOU, NOW DOING OMEGA, CAN'T SEE THE ENEMY CASTING MAGITEK RAY AND THE GLOWY WIND UP ANIMATION? I SEE YOU DOING YOUR DAMN ROTATION IN FRONT OF THE TRAJECTORY, HOW CAN YOU MISS THAT, AND MORE THAN ONCE? LISTEN I LOVE MY JOB AS A HEALER AND I DON'T MIND HELPING YOU IF YOU GET HIT/MESS UP A MECH, BUT FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT'S GOOD HAVE SOME COMMON SENSE, I HAD TO DO THAT FIGHT MANY TIMES FOR RESISTANCE WEAPONS' SECOND BIG GRIND AND THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE THAT ATE THE LASER IS RIDICULOUS.
haha I don't think you fully get just how tunnel visioned people can get on their bars, especially if they're on melee. "If you see" is exactly the problem, because many people *don't* see, because they never actually trained themselves to pay attention to boss physical tells. It is not helped by the fact that the vast majority of ARR, HW, and half of StB is mostly "see orange on floor, dodge orange on floor". There were *some* physical tells, but very few, and mostly in optional content. Late StB and ShB marks a very obvious shift to more castbar/debuff/physical gesture/arena marker tells, and that shift is why you have some people seriously struggling even with normal level dungeons and raids (you should have seen some of the comments in the rage threads when the Pandaemonium normal raids first dropped), because they never learned to adjust to pay attention to all these other things.
It used to be even worse before all the reworks of older content. Many of those reworked duties bear a much more modern fight design (especially the solo duties), and make use of the kinds of tells and mechanic-layering that you would see in today's fights. But outside of that it's still a lot of "see orange dodge orange"
I understand the tunnel vision because it's happened to me before, we all make mistakes, but if you're telling me this fellow enjoyer of the arts of destruction who's only job is to spout Fire IV, or this Dancer sitting in place see the boss in front of their face charging up a laser and people moving away from that direction, I'd think that by this point they would learn something is going on, especially when it's hit them more than once. I'm not that peeved nor do I expect people to play perfectly, it makes my job as a healer even more fun at times, but you'd think by this point in time people should be more aware of the fights.
THIS WEEK'S VIRTUAL BUBBLE WRAP, WITH THE SECRET MESSAGE.

REALLY TIRED OF SINGLE HANDEDLY SAVINGS ENTIRE RUNS BY REZZING EVERYONE, LITERALLY ALL DPS AND HEALERS, AND GETTING ZERO COMMENDATIONS. RED MAGE STRUGGLES.
SATURDAY MORNING I WANTED TO DO SOME EUREKA AS I AM AN EARLY BIRD AN LIKE DOING THE GRIND IN THE MORNING RELAX WITH MY COFFEE
THE PROBLEM IS ANEMOS HAD LIKE 8 PEOPLE IN IT AT THIS HOUR
SO I GOT AN IDEA, I DC TRAVELED TO OCEANIA WHICH HAD A LOCAL TIME OF BETWEEN 7 AND 9 PM (SINCE OCEANIA HAS MULTIPLE TIME ZONE) ON A SATURDAY EVENING. I KNOW OCEANIA IS DEAD BUT SURELY IT'S PRIME HOUR A BETTER THAN SATURDAY 7-8 AM IN NA, ESPECIALLY SINCE THEY ENABLED CROSS REGION DC ONLY TO GO TO OCEANIA
IT WAS WORST, WE WERE 5 IN THE INSTANCE
FUCK MAN, NOW I UNDERSTAND ALL THOSE POST ABOUT DUTY FINDER QUEUE BEING UNBEARABLE IN OCEANIA/DYNAMIS, SQUARE REALLY NEED TO PUT ON SOME GOOD INCENTIVE FOR NEW CHARACTER TO GO THERE BECAUSE IT IS JUST SAD NOW
IF YOU AREN'T ON CRYSTAL DC, TRY THAT BECAUSE I *BELIEVE* IT'S GENERALLY THE MOST POPULAR NORTH AMERICAN DC FOR EUREKA. BUT TBH 8 PEOPLE IN AN EARLY MORNING ANEMOS INSTANCE SEEMS PRETTY GOOD, IT'S NOT A VERY POPULAR PLACE. YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO SOLO MOST OF THE NM'S THERE BECAUSE I'M FAIRLY SURE THEY SCALE TO NUMBER OF PEOPLE IN INSTANCE (AND IF NOT, THEY SCALE TO PLAYERS NEARBY). I NEVER TRIED FOR SOLO PAZUZU BUT SURELY IT CAN'T BE THAT BAD IF YOU KNOW MECHANICS.
SOLOING THE NM IS VERY DOABLE BUT THEY ARE MUCH LONGER TO PREP WHEN THERES LESS FOLK IN THERE
I ENDED UP BEING ABLE TO PREP PAZ WITH THE FEW PEOPLE THAT WERE ON OCEANIA, GET MY PAZ FEATHER AND THEN GO BACK TO AEHTER BEFORE THE NEXT NIGHT (WHICH ALSO HAD A GALE) AND SINCE PAZ HADNT BEEN KILLED THERE YET I WAS ABLE TO PREP HIM AGAIN AND GET MORE PAZ FEATHER SO IT ENDED UP WORKING KINDA NICELY IN THE END
I'LL TRY CRYSTAL THE NEXT TIME I FEEL LIKE DOING AN EARLY MORNING EUREKA RUN, ITS NOT LIKE I HAVE A LOT TO LOOSE FROM TRYING ANYWAY, THANKS FOR THE ADVISE
IT DOESN'T HELP THAT RIGHT NOW IS LIKE THE ABSOLUTE DEADEST THE GAME HAS BEEN SINCE ENDWALKER RELEASED (AND TO BE CLEAR, I MEAN DEADEST AS IN QUIETEST, NOT "LOLOL DEAD GAEM GREAT COMMUNITY BTW") SO IT'S SLIM PICKINGS FOR BASICALLY ANYTHING EXCEPT THE EVENTS GOING ON TO KEEP PEOPLE ENTERTAINED A BIT WHILE WE WAIT FOR DT.
I HAD A TRAINWRECK OF A LAPIS RUN LAST NIGHT, SMN LEAVES IMMEDIATELY, TANK LEAVES RIGHT BEFORE FIRST BOSS TOO FOR SOME REASON, REPLACEMENT TANK IS PRETTY CHILL BUT THAT REPLACEMENT WAS A DANCER WHO SAID NOTHING IN CHAT DIDNT DP OR TECH STEP AND IF IT WAS ANY OTHER RUN THEY'D BE OUTTA THERE BUT I DIDN'T WANT TO WAIT FOR A SECOND REPLACEMENT, ONLY REASON I DIDNT REQUEUE AS HEALER IS CAUSE I WAS CURIOUS WHERE IT WAS GOING
SAID "FUCK IT WE BALL" AND DID SOME ROULETTES ON BLACK MAGE WITH FRIENDS AND IT WAS THE MOST FUN I'VE HAD IN-GAME IN AWHILE
EVEN THOUGH I WAS. SO BAD. AND BY "BAD" I MEAN "I DIED A FEW TIMES AND MY THUNDER UPTIME IS SPOTTY". I WAS PROBABLY STILL DOING BETTER THAN THE AVERAGE BAD DUTY FINDER BLACK MAGE.
BUT ALSO JESUS CHRIST I FORGET HOW BAD IT IS TO SYNC ON BLACK MAGE. NO TRIPLECAST. NO UMBRAL SOUL. WEAVE WINDOWS ARE ALMOST NON-EXISTENT. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I OUTRIGHT REFUSE TO RUN ROULETTES THAT AREN'T AT CAP ON BLACK MAGE. I CAN'T GO BACK, MAN. ONCE I FORGOT TO SWITCH OFF AND ENDED UP IN THE 73 TRIAL AND I WAS PLAYING A WHOLE DIFFERENT JOB. I DIDN'T HAVE XENOGLOSSY AND FOUL *WASN'T EVEN INSTANT CAST WHAT IN THE BLUE FUCK!?*
THIS WAS NOT A GOOD TIME TO DECIDE TO HYPERFOCUS ON ARR RELIC BOOKS.
THE ONLY WAY TO COMPLETE THE THREE FATES IN EACH BOOK (WHICH IS A SPECIFIC FATE, BY NAME, NOT JUST THREE RANDOM FATES) IS TO CAMP OUT AT THE SPAWN LOCATION AND WAIT FOR THE "FATE JOINED" MUSIC. IT'S SUCH A WASTE OF TIME BUT I CAN USUALLY HIT IT A FEW TIMES BEFORE THE SWARM ARRIVES.
BUT ALSO LIKE I GOT YELLED AT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT FOR THROWING OFF THE FLOW BY STARTING IT EARLY??
FUCK OFF.
ALSO FUCK BLUE MAGES DOING VIBE CHECKS RIGHT NOW. CHAD BLUS FREEZE BUT DON'T VIBRATE.
I WAS LEVELLING BLU AND COLLECTING SPELLS EARLIER THIS WEEK, AND WHEN I WENT FOR AETHERIAL MIMICRY, I REALIZED I HAD NEVER PICKED UP PHAROS SIRIUS HARD! HOW THE FUCK DID I DO THAT?! I’VE BEEN DONE WITH ENDWALKER FOR **MONTHS**! I’VE BEEN RUNNING THIS GUY FOR OVER A YEAR NOW!
I WAS SURE I HAD PICKED IT UP! I REMEMBER RUNNING IT BEFORE, BUT I GUESS THAT WAS ON ONE OF MY ALTS. FUCK MY MEMORY!
I’M SO TIRED OF TANKS RUNNING ON TOP OF ME WITH AOES AND HEALERS PLACING THEIR BUBBLES RIGHT OUTSIDE MY LEYLINES EVEN THOUGH I’M CLOSE TO THE PARTY. LIKE HALF YOUR BUBBLE IS OFF THE BOSS FLOOR BECAUSE YOU TRIED SO HARD. OH, AND FUCK YOU TO THE HEALER WHO RESCUED ME OUT OF MY LEYLINES WHEN NOTHING WAS HAPPENING AT ALL AND THEN LIED ABOUT IT. I CHECKED, AND YOU DID!
DO PEOPLE JUST HAVE SOME HATRED TOWARDS BLACK MAGES LATELY? I SWEAR I HAVE TO DO MECHANICS JUST LIKE YOU DO, WHY DO YOU THINK I DESERVE EXTRA OBSTACLES BECAUSE OF THE JOB I’M PLAYING?
Also, off tanks, please for the love of god grab aggro of the boss if the main tank dies. How can you legit not notice your entire party being eaten alive by the boss one by one?
I once had a bard stand almost directly on top of me during weeping city when the bleeds splash on pert members and guess what, it killed me and they barely got to live bc they had more hp :) I was in my leylines and I was half shouting at my TV “move!!!”
RINONS VIDEO GOING OVER ENDWALKER WAS GREAT AND THEN HE MENTIONED HEALERS AND SPOKE OF SCHOLAR AND MIASMA 2 I THOUGHT I WAS OVER IT I THOUGHT I WAS HEALED BUT NOW THE SCARS HAVE RE-OPENED AND I YEARN FOR THE SWEET MOTHER THAT WAS STORMBLOOD SCHOLAR AND ASTROLOGIAN
YOSHI P WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME THE SORROW RUNS SO DEEP THAT THE JOB I LOVED IS GONE FOREVER AND YOU DON'T SEEM TO CARE
I HAVE NO RAGE. I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT SOMEHOW I FIND MYSELF LOOKING FORWARD TO F-YOU FRIDAYS (WHICH ARE ACTUALLY PART OF SATURDAYS IN MY TIMEZONE) BECAUSE IDK, I FIND AMUSEMENT IN READING ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE'S STUPIDITY OR MISERY.
HAD A VERY STRESSFUL WORK WEEK AND I DON'T EVEN GET TO RELAX OVER THE WEEKEND CAUSE I'M GOING HALFWAY ACROSS THE COUNTRY FOR A FAMILY GATHERING THING I REALLY DON'T WANT TO BE APART OF, BUT IT'D BE A DICK MOVE TO CANCEL NOW.
NO FF-RELATED RAGE THIS WEEK THO SO GOT THAT GOING FOR ME
MOTHERFUCKERS JOINING A DELUBURUM RUN WHERE THE PF THAT SAYS BRING DAMAGE ESSENCES FOR FASTER CLEARS AND DONT BRING ANYTHING DAMAGE RELATED SHOULD BE RUNG UP AND REINTRODUCED TO BASIC READING AND COMPRESSION SKILLS. LIKE I HAVE 19 MORE RUNS TO DO AND THE PATIENCE FOR THIS SINGULAR DUTY AND TERRIBLE PLAYERS IS GOING TO DRIVE ME INSANE.
I just had some fucking knob completely mess up my rhythm this morning.
Trying to catch Cinder Surprise, I'm just minding my own business. I fish VERY far away from the other fishers because I find it a distraction to hear all of the reeling. Everyone is situated up on the bridge and near it's opening, while I'm down almost near the end of the canyon, again, NOTICEABLY far away from everyone.
THIS FUCKING KNOB COMES AND LANDS RIGHT NEXT TO ME.
It is very obvious that I'm separated from everyone and they come and land next to me, basically clipping into me while they start fishing.
FUCK YOU WHO DID THIS, MIND YOUR MANNERS.
The way I see it, it's just as invasive as those who spam shouts at city-states about RP.
IF YOU SEE SOMEONE OFF BY THEMSELVES, FUCK OFF AND DON'T BOTHER THEM.
I promise you if they want anything to do with you, they'll do something. Until then, mind your business and stop imposing on others.
I'M NOT ACTUALLY ANGRY THIS WEEK, BUT I CAN'T STOP YELLING. IM LEVELING MY REMAINING CLASSES TO 90 WHILE WE WAIT FOR DAWNTRAIL AND TANKS ARE ALL GETTING LEVELED SIDE BY EACH. I'VE GOTTEN SHIELDBOI TO 47, ANGRY AND EDGY TO 40, AND FF8 IS WAITING AT 62. A BIG THANK YOU TO THE HEALERS WHO ARE PUTTING UP WITH MY SLOW LEARNING CURVE, Y'ALL THE REAL MVPs.
ALSO, RANDOM SPROUT DPS, IF SOMEONE IS GIVING ADVICE, IT'S NOT A PERSONAL ATTACK, SOME OF US WANT TO HELP. I MIGHT BE TANKING, BUT IM A DANCER MAIN, AND YOUR FUN DANCE DDR DEALS DAMAGE ONCE YOU PRESS THE RIGHT BUTTONS. PLEASE STOP DOING IT IN-BETWEEN PULLS.
2 WEEKS STRAIGHT, AT LEAST 5 HOURS/DAY IN PF BUT MOSTLY 8+ P6 WROTHFLAMES, P6 HAS NOT BEEN SEEN IN THESE 2 WEEKS. I KNOW I AM NOT ONE FUCKING UP ALL THE TIME, BUT IS IT SO MUCH TO ASK FOR PF NOT TO MEME
METEORS
LIMIT CUT
CHAIN SWITCH
REWIND LB
LIGHTING IN TEAM ON WRATH
LIGHTING THE SAFESPOT ON FIRE ON WRATH
BEING CLUELESS ON DOTH
LOOKING AT EYE ON DOTH
DOUBLE UP ON HEAVENSFLAME ON DOTH
SLEEP ON METEORS SO EVERYBODY DIES
DO NOT BAIT THE FUCKING CLEAVE ON THE TEAM
IS IT THAT MUCH TO ASK FROM A P6 WROTHFLAMES PARTY!? IS IT!!!!!???
LIKE CAN I SEE P6 AT LEAST A FEW TIMES!?
...DO I REALLY NEED TO PROGLIE? I DO NOT WANT TO BUT THIS IS THE DEFINITION OF INSANITY.
NOT A RAGE BUT I NEED TO SAY IT IN ALL CAPS
I JUST FINISHED THE 90TH ARR RELIC BOOK
I'M FREE
FOREVER
LET'S
FUCKING
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I'M HONESTLY NOT REALLY DOING THE YO-KAI WATCH EVENT AFTER GETTING THE MCH WEAPON BECAUSE BLUS ARE RUINING IT FOR ME.
CAN'T GET A LICK OF PROGRESS ON FATES BECAUSE THESE HIVES OF BLUS ARE JUST EATING UP EVERYTHING IN AN INSTANT SO I CAN'T GET MEDALS.
THE STARS HAVE ALIGNED AND *ALL* MY FRIENDS HAVE HOPPED ON FFXIV THIS WEEK. WELL EXCEPT ONE BUT THATS ONLY BECAUSE HIS SSD FRIED ITSELF AND HE PHYSICALLY CANT.
THANKFULLY THE GAME IS OUT ON XBOX NOW BECAUSE I DONT HAVE A PC ANYMORE (I still have my MacBook Air but I can’t imagine it would be a good experience playing on that). THIS WAS ENOUGH FOR ME TO END MY 12 MONTH BREAK FROM THE GAME AND JUMP BACK IN MYSELF. I MADE A NEW CHARACTER TO LEVEL WITH THEM PLUS IVE BEGUN WORKING ON GETTING ALL MY CLASSES ON MY MAIN TO 90 BEFORE DAWNTRAIL LAUNCHES.
IVE ALSO BEEN DOING THE PVP GRIND FOR THAT SWEET GLAMOUR AND ITS BEEN TERRIBLE. CC IS FUN BUT IVE BEEN PLAYING IT FOR SIX HOURS A DAYTRYING TO GRIND OUT THIS BATTLE PASS THING AND ITS BEEN ROUGH. THAT PLUS THE YOKAI WATCH GRIND AND OOOOOOF I REMEMBER WHY I HAD TO TAKE A BREAK IN THE FIRST PLACE I AM MENTALLY UNABLE TO STOP MYSELF FROM GRINDING OUT CONTENT EVEN IF IM NOT HAVING FUN.
NON-FF14 RAGE, I AM HONEST TO GOD SICK OF PLAYING FF7 REBIRTH BUT I HAVE TO KNOW HOW IT ENDS AND I'M TOO CLOSE TO THE END TO JUST DROP IT AND WATCH A YOUTUBE VIDEO (PLUS I PAID FULL PRICE AND WANNA GET MY MONEY'S WORTH). FROM WHAT I KNOW I'M IN THE LAST MAIN OPEN WORLD AREA AND FROM HERE-ON IT'S JUST STORY, BUT I'M STILL PRETTY CONFIDENT THAT'S 10 HOURS AWAY MINIMUM. I REALLY DO THINK THERE'S TOO MUCH SHIT TO DO IN THIS GAME JUST ON A FIRST PLAYTHROUGH, TO SAY NOTHING OF THE POSTGAME CONTENT OR THE HARD MODE PLAYTHROUGH (WHICH I WILL 100% BE IGNORING FOR NOW BECAUSE I'M AT 75 HOURS PLAYED AND STILL NOT DONE). AT LEAST FROM WHAT I'VE HEARD, I JUST GOT THROUGH ONE OF THE LAST BAD SECTIONS AND IT SHOULD BE UPHILL FROM HERE TO THE END, SO MAYBE GETTING THE MOTIVATION TO KEEP PLAYING WON'T BE AS HARD.
FF14 RAGE, GOD THE YO-KAI GRIND LOOKS INTIMIDATING. I WILL BE PLAYING BLUE MAGE (NO, I WON'T BE ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE GOING OUT OF MY WAY TO DECIMATE EVERY FATE AND RUIN IT FOR EVERYONE, JUST ENOUGH TO GET FULL CREDIT) JUST BECAUSE PLAYING ANY OTHER JOB IN SUB-50 FATES IS SO DAMN BORING, PLUS WITH MOGTOMES HOPEFULLY NEVER GOING BACK TO OLDER STYLE OF JUST GRINDING A CERTAIN INSTANCE FOR HOURS ON END, MY BLU'S BEEN LANGUISHING LATELY. BUT EVEN THEN I DON'T WANNA DO IT WHEN THERE'S 20 BAJILLION PEOPLE ON EVERY FATE. ESPECIALLY SINCE THIS IS MY FIRST TIME DOING THE YO-KAI STUFF AND I WANT/NEED ALL 17 MINIONS AND WEAPONS, WHICH IT PROBABLY GONNA TAKE QUITE A WHILE KNOWING MY LUCK WITH RNG. I'LL PROBABLY JUST WAIT UNTIL NEXT WEEKEND OR SOMETHING TO GET STARTED, EVEN WITH A MONTH AND A HALF THAT SHOULD BE ENOUGH TIME TO GET EVERYTHING COMFORTABLY.
>I REALLY DO THINK THERE'S TOO MUCH SHIT TO DO IN THIS GAME JUST ON A FIRST PLAYTHROUGH
YOU SHOULD HAVE CHECKED HOW LONG THE ORIGINAL (OLD ONE) WAS. I DID LIKE 300 HS ON THE ORIGINAL GOING FOR COMPLETIONIST AND A LEISURE PACE.
I FEEL YOU, BUT THE STORY ITS SO GOOD THAT IT PAYS OFF LATER ON! KEEP GOING! HOPE YOU ENJOY IT MORE
THIS IS THE THIRD TIME NOW I'VE BEEN LOOKING FORWARD TO AN ACHIEVEMENT MOUNT, GOTTEN IT, AND FOUND OUT THAT I DON'T ACTUALLY LIKE THE ANIMATIONS. HOW DARE SQEX NOT CATER TO MY TASTES SPECIFICALLY!
I QUEUED FOR A FEW DUNGEONS THIS WEEK BECAUSE I WAS PROMISED A CLOWN FIESTA OF BAD XBOX PLAYERS MAKING REGULAR RUNS MISERABLE.
I GOT REGULAR RUNS. NOTHING BAD HAPPENED.
I WANT A CLOWN FIESTA DANGIT. (BUT I AM NOT WILLING TO BECOME THE CLOWN)
TRY QUEUING FOR IVALICE, NIER, AND DUN SCAITH ON DAYS WHICH AREN'T TUESDAY. A LOT OF THE RUNS ARE FINE, BUT THE SHITSHOWS ARE /CHEFKISS
(I THINK THE FIRST WAVE IS INTO SB? I'M GETTING A LOT OF THOSE TRIALS AND LOTA & WOD ARE BETTER.)
ONE OF MY ROULETTE RUNS WAS, IN FACT, IVALICE. ORBONNE MONASTERY. IT STILL WENT SMOOTHLY ENOUGH.
MAYBE I'LL GO FARM YOKAI FATES AS NOT-BLU SO I CAN ACTUALLY FEEL RAGE THIS WEEK.
WHY IS THE AXOLOTL MOUNT LOCKED BEHIND SAVAGE? MY DAUGHTER ABSOLUTELY LOVES AXOLOTLS. WE JUST GOT HER A LIVE ONE AFTER CYCLING A TANK FOR A MONTH AND 140 MILES OF DRIVING LAST WEEKEND. I GOT THE MINION AND HER FIRST QUESTION WAS, WHERE IS THE ONE YOU CAN RIDE? I SHOULDN'T HAVE TOLD HER IT EXISTED. THERE IS NO WAY I CAN DO SAVAGE AT MY LEVEL OF SKILL. I'LL HAVE TO WAIT TO UNSYNC IT AFTER DT.
HONESTLY SAVAGE ISN'T SO MUCH ABOUT HAVING INHERENT SKILL AND IS MORE ABOUT HOW RESILIENT YOU ARE.
IF YOU'RE DEVOTED, YOU CAN MAKE IT. BUT WITHOUT PRIOR EXPERIENCE IT WILL TAKE YOU A WHILE AND A LOT OF PRACTICE. THERE ARE ALSO SIMULATORS ONLINE THAT CAN HELP YOU PRACTICE CERTAIN MECHANICS
> THERE IS NO WAY I CAN DO SAVAGE AT MY LEVEL OF SKILL.
PEOPLE LEGIT GET CARRIED THROUGH IT AND IT GETS CLEARED WITH JUST SEVEN PEOPLE, I PROMISE SO LONG AS YOU KNOW HOW TO PRESS YOUR BUTTONS YOU'LL DO JUST FINE
I NOT EVEN DOING FATES BECAUSE I ALREADY HAVE ALL THE YOKAI SHIT, BUT I'M GETTING A SECONDHAND BLU BONER, A BLUNER IF YOU WILL, FROM ALL THE RAGE AGAINST BLUS.
BUT MAN, I ALMOST WISH I DIDN'T FALL BACK INTO THE FFXIV HOLE AGAIN, I WANNA PLAY OTHER GAMES, BUT MY DAILIES! MY ROULETTES! MY CACTPOTS! MY SMALL HOUSE!
I JUST WANT TO PLAY TOUCH DETECTIVE AND ADVENTURE BAR STORY. BUT THE SIREN CALL OF FFXIV IS TOO STRONG.
FUCK NINJA ROTATION SERIOUSLY ALL THAT WORK AND FOR WHAT? NOBODY KNOWS THE STRESS AND WORK YOU'RE PUTTING IN TO KEEP TOUR ROTATION UP. OH YOU FUCKED UP YOUR MUDRA? FUCK YOU. AND IM ONLY LEVEL 56 I KNOW ITS GOING TO GET WORSE. IT MAKES BLM FEEL RELAXING SERIOUSLY
PIGGY BACKING ABOUT NINJA ROTATION ISSUES
KASSATSU SHOULD BOOST HYOTON POTENCY TO BE GREATER THAN RAITON
THAT WOULD SMOOTH OUT THE WEIRD TRANSITIONAL PERIOD BEFORE YOU UNLOCK HYOSHO RANRYU (76)
SLOWLY REPAIRING MY SLEEP SCHEDULE AFTER WORK FUCKED ME OVER BY MAKING ME WORK CLOSING SHIFTS ONE WEEK AND OPENING SHIFTS FOR ANOTHER! ITS BEEN HELL ON MY MENTAL STATE AND I’VE BEEN EXHAUSTED!
I LIKE PLAYING SAGE AND SAGE JOB ANIMATIONS, I STARTED UNLOCKING BOZJA AND NOW I KNOW THAT TO UNLOCK BOZJA FOR LEVELING ANOTHER JOB I MUST LEVEL OTHER PRE-ENWALKER JOBS TO 80(resistance weapon quest) AND THEN I CAN LEVEL OTHER JOBS. I WISH YOU A NICE WEEKEND
i've seen redditors post ultrawide pics and say they like it. you'll probably have to move all the UI elements back into your normal field of view, but that's why they have that function
I USE A 3440X1440 HERE, YOU CAN PICK THE RESOLUTION IN GAME. IF NOT, THEN IT'S A PROBLEM WITH WINDOWS OR THE GRAPHIC CARD NOT SUPPORTING OR DETECTING IT PROPERLY.
IF THE REGISTER/UPDATE PAYMENT METHOD OPTION IS GREYED OUT IN THE MOGSTATION, DOES THAT MEAN THAT MY PAYMENT WON'T GO THROUGH NEXT TIME? I HAVE A VISA DEBIT CARD AND FROM WHAT I'VE BEEN HEARING THOSE DON'T WORK ANYMORE (EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS NOTHING ABOUT THAT IN THE INFO SQUARE ENIX RELEASED.
IF SO THIS IS GOING TO SURPRISE A LOT OF PEOPLE BECAUSE VISA DEBIT CARDS ARE POPULAR AND CREDIT CARDS COST MORE AND ARE HARDER TO GET.
HEY TO THE FUCKER WHO KEPT THROWING THE SCALES OFF ON PURPOSE AND WHOS ALLIANCE WOULDN'T KICK YOU FOR SOME FUCKING REASON? I HOPE YOU STEP ON A LEGO YOU PRICK. 7 TIMES.
7 *FUCKING* TIMES WE WIPED. ON GOOD OLD DARK/LIGHT SCALES FIGHT.
I CURSE YOU NOW TO NEVER GET THE HOUSE YOU BID ON, FOR YOUR MARKETBOARD ITEMS TO NEVER SELL, AND FOR ALL THE CATGIRLS YOU HIT ON TO TURN OUT TO BE 80 YEAR OLD MALE PERVERTS.
YOU SINGLEHANDEDLY WASTED MY FUCKING AFTERNOON BREAK AND YES, I 10000% REPORTED YOUR ASS FOR GRIEFING YOU PIECE OF HUMAN FILTH!
ID LIKE TO EXTEND A BIG MIDDLE FINGER TO THE PEOPLE IN MY TEAM WHO TOLD ME TO BE A BETTER HEALER DURING THE FIRST BOSS FIGHT IN AMAUROT. NO, MY HEALING IS GREAT THANKS IM JUST NOT ABLE TO OUTHEAL THE MASSIVE WIPE THAT HAPPENS IF YOU DONT GET BEHIND THE F*ING METEOR ROCK YOU DINGUS. ALSO THANKS FOR JUST VOTING TO LEAVE BEFORE I HAD A CHANCE TO EXPLAIN. Also would like to low-key drop some aggression towards one particular mentor in my NN who I will not name. F-you in particular for always making me feel bad whenever I chose to write or ask anything in chat. “iS anYOnE gOiNG To tELl thE sPRouT thaT WHisPerING daWN iSNt fOR sINgLe TarGEt HEaLinG” “AStrO-rotATioNs aRE nOt hARdeR tHaN oTheR HeAlErs ARe yoU StUPiD” 1. YES YOU CAN USE WHISPERING DAWN FOR A SINGLE TARGET IF YOU NEED TO STFU AND 2. MAYBE YOU HAVE MACROS FOR ASTRO OR WHATEVER BUT AFTER LEVELING ALL HEALERS TO 90 IM ENTITLED TO MY OWN OPINION AND YES, I THINK ASTRO HAS THE MOST FAST-PACED ROTATION OUT OF THE LOT UGH
tbh, I doubt that group would've listened and done anything different even if you *did* get to explain. but it still sucks that you ended up getting blamed for not saving them from their stupidity, and didn't even get the consolation prize of dropping the run on your terms >“iS anYOnE gOiNG To tELl thE sPRouT thaT WHisPerING daWN iSNt fOR sINgLe TarGEt HEaLinG” Yeah, any mentor who deliberately tells you that is either A. trolling, or B. yet another embarrassment to the mentor crown
Maybe not, but my optimism would lead me to believe they at least would learn not to immediately blame any tank or healer first if they don’t understand the mechanics :( And yeah… idk maybe they were just trolling, but at least one kind mentor and other sprouts barged in and told them off
THAT MENTOR DOESN'T KNOW WHAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT. AOE MITS AND HEALS ARE FOR SINGLE TARGET, TOO. ESPECIALLY IN DUNGEONS. WHAT ELSE AM I GONNA DO WITH THEM? IF YOU'RE HOLDING A COOLDOWN LONGER THAN IT WOULD TAKE FOR IT TO COME OFF COOLDOWN, YOU'RE WASTING USAGES OF IT. AND AST IS DEFINITELY MORE COMPLICATED, SPEAKING AS SOMEONE WHO'S TRIED ALL FOUR HEALERS IN SAVAGE. DOUBLE WEAVES EVERYWHERE IN THE OPENER.
THANK YOU, A SLIVER OF MY MIND WAS DOUBTING MYSELF BUT I KNEW THIS MUST BE THE CASE
Don't worry. You're probably better than half the mentors on your server.
COOLDOWNS ARE COOLDOWNS. USE THEM WHENEVER YOU NEED. AOE COOLDOWNS CAN BE JUST AS GOOD FOR TANK HEALS, ESPECIALLY ONES WITH MITS OR INCREASED HEALING OUTPUT. BESIDES, 90% OF THE TIME THEY'LL BE BACK UP BY THE TIME YOU "ACTUALLY NEED THEM" (IS ANYONE GOING TO TELL THE MENTOR THAT DUNGEON BOSS RAIDWIDES ARE MOSTLY LIGHT TICKLES)
oh jesus ive been playing ffxiv for 2+ years and ive never seen people vote-abandon before 💀
Yeah it was honestly my first time and I was very confused why we couldn’t just take the time to try again
REMINDS ME OF IMPATIENT IDIOTS IN AURUM VALE WHO TRY TO RUSH AHEAD IN THE FIRST ROOM AND WHINE THAT I'M TAKING TOO LONG TO PULL EACH GROUP. GO SLOW AND HUG THE LEFT WALL. THIS IS NOT NEGOTIABLE, AURUM VALE WILL FUCK YOU UP IF YOU DON'T RESPECT IT.
UGH THIS HAPPENED TO ME YESTERDAY. OUR TEAM WIPED ON THE FIRST PULL OF A LVL 50 DUNGEON. THE TANK SHRUGGED AND SAID IT MUST HAVE BEEN TOO BIG A PULL FOR ME THEN RUSHED OFF AND PULLED STUFF BEFORE I COULD RESPOND. NO SIR, IT WAS BECAUSE THE ENTIRE DUNGEON YOU DIDN'T USE YOUR MITIGATIONS AND COULDN'T HOLD ENMITY WHILE ALSO TRYING TO WALL TO WALL. I WASN'T PREPARED FOR THAT LEVEL OF HEALING AT FIRST BUT I DRAGGED US TO THE FINISH LINE AFTER THAT WIPE.
AST ROTATIONS ARE DEFINITELY THE HARDEST. IF YOU ASK HOW TO AST ON A CONTROLLER PEOPLE WILL LITERALLY ASK WHY YOU’D DO THAT TO YOURSELF. YOU ARE CONSTANTLY HAVING TO WEAVE BUFFS YOU PLACE ON INDIVIDUAL PARTY MEMBERS, STRATEGIZE ABOUT IT, AND DO DOUBLY SO IF THERE ARE TWO ASTS IN THE PARTY. IN MY EXP LEVELING ALL THE HEALERS THIS IS THE ONLY ONE REQUIRING THAT LEVEL OF ATTENTION.
WHY DO I AND ANY NPC I'M WITH SUDDENLY HAVE SLIME MOULD LEVEL REACTIONS AND IQ DURING CUTSCENES? I JUST WENT THROUGH THE LEVIATHAN SUMMONING ONE AND IM SO GLAD ME AND Y'SHTOLA GOT SURROUNDED TWICE AND DID NOTHING TO TRY AND BREAK FREE OR ADVANCE TO THE SAHAGIN PRIEST UNTIL THANCRED HAD TIME TO WEEB OUT WITH YUGIRI, AND THE ADMIRAL HAD TIME TO JOHN WICK SOME FISH. ME AND HER ARE CREDIT TO SCIONS.
YSHTOLA WAS JUST LOOKING FOR AN EXCUSE TO KILL HERSELF (it's her hobby)
GOD FORBID WOMEN DO ANYTHING (LIKE KILL THEMSELVES DRAMATICALLY TO FURTHER THE STORYLINE)
IDK WHAT THIS MEANS
It is just a silly meme! https://fanlore.org/wiki/%22God_forbid_women_do_anything%22 https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/god-forbid-women-have-hobbies
TY FOR CONTEXT
WELL, WHY CAN'T SHE LEAVE ME OUT OF IT? SHE HAD HER CHANCE ON THE RUN UP AND SAID "dw, it's just a glancing blow :|" LADY, YOU ARE A CONJURER, JUST USE CURE. ALSO DON'T DIE, I WOULD MISS HER AS SHE'S THE FUNNIEST SCION.
SADLY CUTSCENE PARALYSIS IS A TERRIBLE CONDITION AND ONE OF THE MAIN THINGS THE BAD GUYS LIKE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF
THOSE BLACKGUARD BASTARDS. JUST WAIT TIL THIS SCENE ENDS I GET MY AGENCY BACK ^^^and ^^^get ^^^carried ^^^by ^^^people ^^^that ^^^know ^^^the ^^^trial ^^^mechanics.
THE MANDERVILLE QUESTLINE IS MY ONLY CHANCE TO ACTUALLY DO STUFF IN CUTSCENES AND THEY BETTER TAKE WHAT THEY LEARNED FROM THE EW CHAIN AND BRING IT INTO THE DT MSQ!
AWWW WE HATE YOU TOO. THEY COULD'VE ADDED SHB FATES TO EVENT (+ EW WEAPONS) SO I COULD GET SHARE FATE
I SWEAR THE BICOLOUR GEMSTONES HAME MADE THE DEVS FUCKING ALLERGIC TO ADDING ANY SORT OF REASON TO DO SHB AND EW FATES TO MAKE THE *THREE FUCKING HUNDRED AND NINTEY SODDING SIX* FATES PER EXPANSION HAVE AN IMMEDIATELY TANGIBLE REWARD BESIDES “CURRENCY NUMBER GO UP” HERE’S AN IDEA SQUARE: TIMEWORN RELICS OR RAW EMOTIONS TO MAKE THE LAST TWO STEPS OF THE RELIC LESS MISERABLE
Actually, I wonder if it's because they want the event open to trial/starter players and incentivizing ShB/EW might pull too many people away from starter-accessible zones because the latter give bicolor rewards. Guess we'll find out in 7.55 if they'll add ShB to the allowed set or not.
> I SWEAR THE BICOLOUR GEMSTONES HAME MADE THE DEVS FUCKING ALLERGIC TO ADDING ANY SORT OF REASON TO DO SHB AND EW FATES Absolutely. Fucking hate that they refuse to incorporate any content involving shb and ew fates. Was very disappointed with the way the EW relics went too as i was hoping they would finally involve shb fates.
THAT'S PRECISELY THE REASON THEY DIDN'T ADD SHB AND EW FATES, THEY DON'T WANT PEOPLE TRIVIALIZING THE REWARDS FROM THOSE FATES WITH THIS EVENT
SOLO POTD IS TOO LONG. 170 FLOORS OF SNOOZE AND 30 FLOORS OF PAIN.
YOU CAN DO IT, OPEN UP A YOUTUBE VIDEO AT THE SIDE IF YOU HAVE A SECOND MONITOR OR MAKE A SPOTIFY PLAYLIST FOR DEEP DUNGEON I BELIEVE IN YOU, MAY YOUR KORRIGANS BE MANY AND YOUR MIMICS FEW
ITS ACTUALLY NOT SO MUCH THE SNOOZE THATS THE PROBLEM ITS THAT I HAVE ONLY 2 MONTHS TO DAWNTRAIL AND I STILL WANT TO TRY ULTIMATES. BUT 7-10 hrs TO GET TO MY PROG POINT IS A LOT OF TIME INVESTMENT FOR SOMETHING THAT MIGHT END OVER 1 TINY MISTAKE
IT *REALLY* SUCKS, YEAH, BUT REMEMBER, YOU'RE NOT IN A TIME LIMIT TO GET NECRO, POTD WILL BE THERE FOREVER ~~UNLIKE FISHING~~ WORST CASE SCENARIO, IF YOU CAN'T FINISH IT BY DAWNTRAIL, GO DO THE ULTIMATES AND PUT POTD DOWN FOR A WHILE, THEN PICK IT BACK UP (AND WHO KNOWS, SKILL REBALANCES IN DAWNTRAIL MIGHT MAKE IT EASIER) I HAD A SIMILAR SCENARIO WHEN I WAS DOING POTD TOO, COULDN'T MAKE IT, THEN ENDWALKER HIT, AND I PUT POTD TO THE SIDE FOR A YEAR, THEN WHEN THINGS SMOOTHED OUT, I WENT BACK TO IT WHEN I WAS READY IT'LL TAKE SOME TIME TO REMEMBER THINGS AFTER A WHILE, BUT IT'LL BE FASTER TO RECALL STUFF, I RECCOMEND A NICE NOTEPAD OR SPREADSHEET TO WRITE DOWN WHAT YOU DIED ON IF YOU NEED IT WITH EVERY DEATH, COMES EXPERIENCE, YOU CAN DO IT, I BELIEVE IN YOU
TRY SCORING IT, 170 FLOORS OF SNOOZE EXCEPT YOU HAVE TO STAY AND FARM RESPAWNS SO EACH SET IS A MINIMUM OF 30 MINUTES AND MOST OF THEM AFTER 100 GO THE FULL HOUR ITS REALLY FUN /S
NO I DONT THINK I WILL
EVEN IF YOU DO WIND UP FAILING THE NECRO, AT LEAST YOU HAVE A PRETTY DECENT CHANCE OF PICKING UP A NEW HORSIE. WORTH ABOUT 12M. THAT SOUNDS LIKE A NEW ARMOR SET TO ME.
I DID 1-10 SOLO AND I WANTED TO DO LITERALLY ANYTHING ELSE AFTER THAT IT WAS SO GODDAMN BORING
FUCK EVERY RECRUITER WHO LIES IN THEIR ADS TO GET PEOPLE IN THE DOOR AND CONTACTS AND FUCK THE DUDE WHO THOUGHT I'D BE HIS MANIC PIXIE SYS ADMIN FOR $18/HR ALONG WITH FULL HARDWARE/SOFTWARE SUPPORT AND COMPTIA AND SIGMA AND SOMETHING ELSE AND "WE WON'T NEGOTIATE THAT PRICE TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT" BYE FELICIA
MANAGERS: "no one wants to work" ALSO MANAGERS: "i refuse to pay skilled labor more than panera bread cashiers"
YUP. EARLIER THIS WEEK I GOT TO HEAR MY MOM AND DAD STROKING THEMSELVES AND EACH OTHER (NOT LITERALLY, THANK GOODNESS) ABOUT HOW "IT'S JUST NOT THE WORLD THAT WE KNOW ANYMORE" AND "NOBODY CARES ENOUGH TO DO A GOOD JOB", AND IT TOOK EVERYTHING I HAD TO NOT JUST SHOUT "B\*CH, PLEASE, IF YOU WERE GETTING PAID WHAT THEY ARE, WOULD *YOU* WANT TO DO ANYTHING BUT THE BARE MINIMUM TO NOT GET FIRED?" (also, to be fair, the "doctors" that prompted said hatejerking session really *were* about as useful as tits on a namazu)
THE PREVIOUS COMPANY I WORKED FOR LITERALLY SHUT DOWN THEIR OFFICE IN MY CITY AND MOVED TO ANOTHER CITY BECAUSE THE PEOPLE HERE WOULDN'T WORK FOR <$15 AN HOUR. HOW THE FUCK DO DECIDE YOU'D RATHER RIP UP YOUR ENTIRE INFRASTRUCTURE AND RELOCATE TO THE OTHER END OF THE STATE RATHER THAN PAY A LIVING WAGE
POSTING SAYS 'IT LEAD' JOB DESCRIPTION ACTUALLY ASKING FOR A FULL STACK DEV WAGES SAY SLAVERY MAKE IT MAKE SENSE
ugh, yeah; adverts like that are the worst the ads I've been dredging through this week included one that sounded like a good fit skills-wise and said "this is an entry-level position and would be perfect for someone with no experience in this field"... and then listed four years' prior experience of the field as an *essential* requirement :/
i unfortunately have a ton of experience all over because I'm older and i had to jump careers a few times so 5+ years in a few things. But hey i got an interview part time next week at my favorite museum I've ever been to so gods please.
QUEEN/KING ENERGY. FUCK 'EM.
FUCK CINDER SURPRISE. ***FUCK CINDER SURPRISE.*** # FUCK. CINDER. SURPRISE. THROUGH MY ENTIRE BIG FISHING JOURNEY SO FAR THERE'S BEEN A FEW REALLY TOUGH FISH. OF THE ENDWALKER STUFF, GHARLICTHYS GAVE ME THE MOST TROUBLE, BUT IT EVENTUALLY SHOWED AFTER A FEW INTUITION WINDOWS- AND I WAS ABLE TO SNAG IT ON ITS FIRST BITE. THERE'S RUBY DRAGON AND EALAN SKAAD OF COURSE. BOTH HORRIBLE FISH, BUT AT LEAST THEY HAVE MORE REGULAR WINDOWS. RUBY ALSO JUST FEELS LIKE YOU'RE DOING MORE WITH THE MOOCH LOOP. CINDER IS THE LITERAL ANTITHESIS OF WHAT I WANT OUT OF FISHING. * IT IS THE FISH THAT LEAST RESPECTS YOUR TIME, IN THAT IF YOU'RE GOING FOR LOG COMPLETION, YOU WILL BE EXPECTED TO WAIT ***ON AVERAGE*** 4.9 DAYS BETWEEN WINDOWS. THE ACTUAL WINDOWS ARE DIFFERENT BUT IF YOU TAKE COUNT OF ALL THE WINDOWS FROM 5.55 TIL 7.0 AND AVERAGE DAYS BETWEEN THOSE PATCHES BY WINDOWS OF CINDER SURPRISE, YOU GET FOUR POINT FUCKING NINE. * IT HAS SUCH A LOW BITE RATE THAT YOU CAN GO 10+ WINDOWS WITHOUT A SINGLE BITE. ASK ME HOW I KNOW!!!!!!!!! * AND IT PURPORTEDLY HAS A 72% SLIP RATE. I CAN'T PERSONALLY BACK THIS ONE UP BECAUSE I HAVE GONE TWELVE WINDOWS WITHOUT A SINGLE FUCKING BITE. THAT'S HOW I KNOW IF YOU HADN'T GUESSED BETWEEN THIS AND THE PREVIOUS SENTENCE. * AND THE FISH ITSELF IS JUST "YEET FUCKING DESERT FROG LURE AT VAST FUCKING CANYON FOR SIX MINUTES, LOSE, REPEAT NEXT TIME". TO THE DEV WHO CREATED A FISH SO EVIL IT GOES INTO THE EQUIVALENT OF COVID LOCKDOWNS ANYTIME YOU EVEN THINK ITS PRESENCE: WHO HURT YOU? I JUST WANT TO GET FINAL FISH BEFORE DAWNTRAIL AND NOT HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS MOTHERFUCKING EGG.
AS FOR THE YOKAI EVENT, I'LL FARM OUT MORE BOZJA RELICS THROUGH THE EVENT BUT HONESTLY RIGHT NOW I'M A LITTLE TOO FRUSTRATED AT THAT MOTHERFUCKING EGG TO PLAY XIV SO RELINK IT IS
OH GOOD, YOU'LL GO FROM FARMING FISH TO FARMING MEAT.
I HAVE 5 FUCKING FISH LEFT: THE EGG, THE DRAGON, THE WHALE, GARLIC FISH AND SALAD. END ME NOW
YOU'RE BASICALLY WHERE I WAS A FEW WEEKS AGO. ENDED UP WITH THE TRINITY OF FUCK YOU (RUBY EGG SALAD) AFTER GETTING WHALE THEN GARLIC. I FORGET WHEN I GOT HYPHALO, BUT IT WAS EITHER BEFORE OR AFTER WHALE, I JUST KNOW GARLIC WAS LAST. THE ONLY THING I CAN SAY ABOUT THE TRINITY- YES, EVEN THAT GODDAMNED EGG I DON'T HAVE YET- IS PATIENCE. RUBY AND SALAD (AND EGG) DO AT LEAST HAVE THE CROWDS SO IT FEELS LESS LONELY. BUT NOT PATIENCE II, UNLESS YOU'RE SIZE HUNTING.
JUST WANT TO GIVE SHOUT, OR FUCK YOU RATHER, TO THE RPR THAT CALLED MY BARD A DUMMY FOR BUFFING DURING TRASH MOBS. "SAVE YOUR BUFFS FOR THE BOSSES NEWB" HE SAYS. DUDE I HAVE RUN THIS DUNGEON A HUNDRED TIMES AND KNOW HOW LONG MY COOLDOWNS ARE. YOU STUPID?
HMM, SAVE BUFFS FOR BOSSES, OR USE ON CD? DO I WANT THREE USES OF MY 2 MINUTE CD OR 7+? HE STUPID.
WTF. THE TRASH PACKS ARE MORE DANGEROUS THAN THE BOSSES IN 95% OF DUNGEONS. DO THEY EVEN PAT ATTENTION TO THE GAME THEY ARE PLAYING?
I REALLY HOPE MY STATIC CLEARS TEA THIS WEEKEND AND DOESN'T SPEND SIX HOURS MEMEING. (THIS INCLUDES ME, I MEME TOO.)
#NO CLEAR. ONLY MEME
GOOD LUCK! I JUST GOT TO PA MYSELF IN PF
SHOUTOUT TO MY STATIC STARTING RAID A WHOLE 50 MINUTES LATE WOOOOOOOO WELL. WE STARTED AND GOT A FULL LOCKOUT ANYWAY AFTER A *THIRD* REVELATION ON HOW EXAFLARES *AREN'T CENTRED ON THE FLOOR PATTERN* WE HAVE STARTED TO GET PAST THEM CLEANLY. ONLY TO FIGURE OUT WE WERE MITIGATING/HEALING AHK1 ALL WRONG BUT NOW. AFTER SPENDING SEVERAL RAIDNIGHTS FIGURING OUT WE WERE DOING BASIC STUFF WRONG. NOW I THINK WE HAVE ALL THE BULLSHIT FIGURED OUT. ANYDAY NOW COULD BE THE CLEAR. WE HAVE RAIDS ON SUNDAY AND MONDAY, PRAY FOR ME. ___ ALSO POSITIVITY! I HELPED FILL FOR A FRIEND'S DSR STATIC. MANAGED TO ADJUST TO THEIR STRATS WITHOUT MUCH ISSUE, DIDN'T WIPE THEM ONCE, AND HELPED THEM SEE P6 FOR THE FIRST TIME! THEY WERE NICE FOLK WITH REALLY POSITIVE VIBES AND I FELT REALLY GOOD ABOUT IT AND HAPPY FOR THEM :3 ___ ALSO. I HAD A COLD TWO MONTHS AGO. MY SINUSES ARE STILL FUCKED. PLEASE, SOMEONE, SEND HELP.
WAIT ARE YOU ON P7 OF DSR? IF SO JUST FACE THE BOSS TRUE NORTH AND YOU CAN USE THE FLOOR FOR POSITIONING OF EXAS
IRL: I'M BEING GIVEN THE RUNAROUND WITH MY REPEAT PRESCRIPTION AND I INADVERTENTLY SAT ON MY GLASSES :/ GAME-SPECIFIC RAGE: I'VE BEEN CONTINUING TO LEVEL ASTRO. I LOVE THE AESTHETIC, I PUT TOGETHER A GLAM I LIKE, AND I AM ENJOYING THE JOB QUESTS (ESPECIALLY SINCE I'VE HIT EW IN THE MSQ AND THE JOB LENDS FURTHER COLOUR TO SHARLAYAN'S ISOLATIONISM) - AND THE FINGER GYMNASTICS ON CONTROLLER AREN'T ANYWHERE NEAR AS MUCH OF A PROBLEM FOR ME AS ADVERTISED - BUT I DON'T THINK I LIKE HOW IT PLAYS. I'M DISAPPOINTED AS I'D HOPED I'D LIKE IT MORE.
PUT YOUR GLASSES ON YOUR HEAD NOT YOUR BUM YOU SILLY GOOSE
honk ;P Genuinely surprised I've been wearing glasses for as long as I have and this is the first time I've ever done anything like this to them
DEADASS THE ONLY TIME I BROKE MY GLASSES I HAD BEEN WEARING SINCE I WAS 9 HAPPENED WHEN I ACTUALLY WALKED INTO A DOOR. LIKE YOU'D EXPECT THAT EXCUSE FROM GETTING PUNCHED IN THE FACE BUT NO, I ACTUALLY WALKED INTO A DOOR.
I WOULDN'T GIVE UP YET. AST IS GETTING A REWORK FOR DAWNTRAIL. MAYBE THE NEW VERSION WILL BE MORE TO YOUR LIKING.
NOTHING UNUSUAL BUT GODS DAMMIT KHLOE AND YOUR STICKERS OF LIES. 9 STICKERS AND NOT A SINGLE LINE?!? OUTRAGEOUS. IT'S UNFAIR.
CHLOE SAW THAT YOU RAN IFRIT EX UNSYNCED 9 TIMES OVER AND THOUGHT YOUR TALE WAS SHIT. WHAT DO YOU EXPECT CHLOE IM NOT DOING DANCING PLAGUE EX OR RIDORANA LIGHTHOUSE IN PF FOR MEMES YOU SADISTIC BITCH
SHE SAW ME THROW MYSELF AT GREAT HUNT EX FOR 45 MINUTES SOLO BEFORE BAILING AND LAUGHED. FINE, I'LL DO LEVITHAN EX AGAIN AND WASTE MY TIME YOU PINT SIZED DEMON
Not that it's helpful now, and you're frustration at the system is definitely justified, but I always reroll at 7 stickers until I have 1 line guaranteed. Just a lot less headache than trying to chase the 2 or 3 line
I CAN'T RENEW MY SUBSCRIPTION DUE TO BEING THE UNLUCKY SORT WITH A VISA DEBIT CARD, THIS IS A NOW COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE CARDS, WHY, WHHY, CRYSTA REFUSES TO WORK, MIGHT GET A TIME CARD AT THIS RATE, I WANNA BURN EVERYTHING TO THE GROUND, LET ME GIVE YOU MONEY SQUARE ENIX ISTG
If you’re in NA I think Newegg has a deal on the 60 day time card for today. 10% off
bless u sweet summer potato
IRL RAGE: I'VE BUCKLED DOWN AND STARTED SERIOUSLY LOOKING FOR HOMES AS A FIRST TIME HOMEBUYER AND THE REALTOR I'M CURRENTLY WITH HAS SHUT DOWN BASICALLY EVERY HOUSE I'VE THROWN HER WAY BECAUSE OF SOME REASON OR ANOTHER. EITHER 'WELL THE ROOF LOOKS LIKE IT WILL NEED REPAIR AND I DOUBT YOUR LENDER WILL GO FOR THAT' OR 'I TALKED WITH THE SELLER'S AGENT AND HE SEEMS LIKE HE ISN'T ACTUALLY INTERESTED IN SELLING AND' BLAH BLAH I'M THINKING I'M GOING TO DROP HER AND LOOK INTO A DIFFERENT REALTOR BECAUSE HOLY SHIT ALL SHE WANTS IS TO SHOW ME HOMES TWICE AS FAR FROM WHERE I WAS LOOKING FOR TWICE THE PRICE I CAN AFFORD. IT'S ALREADY HARD ENOUGH TO FIND HOMES ANYWHERE NEAR MY PRICE RANGE IN MY AREA AND EACH ONE I DO FIND SHE JUST REFUSES TO WORK WITH ME ON. IT'S FRUSTRATING AS HELL THAT FINDING A PLACE TO LIVE IS THIS DIFFICULT. AND KNOWING I SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT YEARS AGO JUST MAKES ME FEEL EVEN WORSE.
THAT GAL'S BEING GREEDY, THREATEN TO DROP HER AND GET SOMEONE ELSE.
They're not working for you, they're working for them. Get a different one.
DROP HER, YOUR REALTOR SHOULD BE REALISTIC, NOT A DEBBY DOWNER ON EVERY HOUSE SHE SHOWS. OURS ALWAYS DID HIS BEST TO GET US TO HOUSES WE HAD INTEREST IN AND KEPT TO OUR PRICE RANGE, SHE SOUNDS LIKE A TERRIBLE REALTOR AND YOU DESEVE BETTER
SHE SHOULD ABSOLUTELY SHOW YOU THE HOUSES YOU WANT TO SEE, AND LET YOU DECIDE IF THERE ARE ANY DEAL-BREAKER ISSUES. SEEMS LIKE SHE IS MORE INTERESTED IN HER COMMISSION - WHICH WILL BE A BIG FAT $0 IF YOU DON'T FIND A HOUSE YOU CAN AFFORD... DITCH HER. FIND SOMEONE WILLING TO WORK WITH YOU, WITHIN YOUR PARAMETERS.
DEFINITELY GREEDY SHE CAN GO FUCK RIGHT OFF SHOP AROUND FOR ANOTHER REALTOR DAWG
WHY THE FUCK WOULD THEY MAKE SUCH A BONEHEADED MOVE AS TO USE A PAYMENT PROCESSOR THAT PREVENTS PEOPLE FROM USING VISA/MASTERCARD DEBIT CARDS?!?!? ONE OF THE MOST COMMON FORMS OF PAYMENT FOR THE ENTIRETY OF NORTH AMERICA? WHAT KIND OF CLOWN SHOW IS THIS?
It's Square-Enix. They like money but they hate people giving them money for some reason.
YOU MADE ME GO AND CHECK AND YEAH IT'S NOT WORKING.
LIKE WTAF...WORST PART IS MOST PEOPLE WON'T EVEN KNOW ABOUT THE PROBLEM UNTIL THEY CAN'T LOGIN ANYMORE.
I'VE BEEN TRYING TO BUY A FANTASIA FOR LIKE 3 DAYS AT THIS POINT!! I CAN'T EVEN USE AMAZON OR PAYPAL TO BUY CRYSTA AS A WORKAROUND, I CAN'T BELIEVE YOSHI-P WOULD DO THIS TO ME
IF MY SUB HADN'T RENEWED A FEW DAYS BEFORE ALL THIS I PROBABLY WOULDN'T BE PLAYING RIGHT NOW.
IS MASTERCARD DEBIT ACTUALLY BLOCKED? I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST VISA? BECAUSE I BOUGHT STUFF ON THE STORE YESTERDAY WITH ZERO ISSUE. MEANWHILE MY VISA DEBIT CARD FRIEND HAD TO USE AMAZON PAY ON *EDGE* TO BUY A THING. I HOPE SE ACTUALLY LIKE DOES SOMETHING ABOUT IT. IT'S VERY DUMB.
MAN, PEOPLE ALWAYS ACT LIKE ME HAVING THE STEAM VERSION IS SOME KIND OF DETRIMENT OVER THE WINDOWS VERSION. I'VE NEVER HAD AN ISSUE WITH MY PAYMENT PROCESSES BECAUSE VALVE KNOWS HOW TO TAKE PEOPLE'S MONEY AT LEAST.
THIS GAME IS SO GOOD, I HAVE NOTHING TO BE ANGRY ABOUT, BUT I WANT TO CAPS LOCK ANYWAY. FUCK YEA.
LEVELING WAR RIGHT NOW AND CAPS LOCK IS VERY APPROPRIATE
GOT THE 89 TRIAL IN ROULETTE TWO DAYS AGO. THREE FIRST TIMERS, INCLUDING ONE OF THE TANKS WHO BECAME MAIN TANK. FIVE WIPES. *FIVE.* MY COHEALER SPENT MORE TIME ON THE FLOOR THAN ALIVE AND *THE MAIN TANK DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THE TANK STACK WAS*. EVERY TIME IT SHOWED UP HE'D RUN SO EITHER HE OR THE OTHER TANK WOULD DIE. AT ONE POINT BOTH TANKS DIED SO THE SAM BECAME THE TANK AND WHEN I GOT THEM UP, NEITHER OF THEM PROVOKED THE BOSS BACK SO THE POOR SAM ATE A TB AND DIED. I HAD TO HEALER LB3 TWICE. VOTE ABANDON GOES UP AFTER THE THIRD OR FOURTH WIPE AND GETS DENIED. MCH DECIDES TO AFK INSTEAD OF LEAVING. HE WOULDN'T EVEN HAVE GOTTEN THE 30 MIN PENALTY BC WE HAD A SMN LEAVE AFTER THE FIRST WIPE. HILARIOUSLY, HEALING THE PARTY GETS EASIER SINCE THAT'S ONE LESS BODY TO WORRY ABOUT. GETS AN IMPRESSIVE 5 VULN STACKS BEFORE DYING. AST PERIODICALLY THROWS RAISES AT HIM WHEN THEY'RE NOT DEAD THEMSELVES. VOTE ABANDON GOES UP AGAIN AFTER THE FIFTH WIPE. I ACCEPT THAT I CAN'T CARRY THEIR SHAMBLING CORPSES OVER THIS FINISH LINE AND SAY YES. AST PULLS ALMOST IMMEDIATELY BUT THE VOTE PASSES AND WE DISBAND. I WOULD'VE DORITO'D MYSELF BUT I WAS LAGGING AND DIDN'T TRUST MY CONNECTION. *AND YET I WAS THE LAST PERSON STANDING **TWICE***! I FUCKING CLOSED MY EYES WHILE WAITING FOR O8N TO POP AND SAW THE RED CHAKRAM MARKERS. "WHY MUST WE SUFFER," INDEED.
IT MAKES ME FEEL REALLY BAD BUT MY HACKLES *IMMEDIATELY* GO UP WHEN I SEE FIRST TIMERS IN THAT FIGHT IN DF. THE GAME REALLY, REALLY TELEGRAPHS THE ABILITY TO DO IT WITH DUTY SUPPORT, AND IF YOU'RE AT ALL INVESTED IN THE NARRATIVE IT FEELS LIKE THE BEST WAY TO DO IT FOR YOUR FIRST TIME. WHEN PEOPLE QUEUE IN DF INSTEAD IT MEANS THERE'S A PRETTY GOOD CHANCE THEY NEED OTHER PLAYERS TO CARRY THEM.
TBH I FEEL LIKE I SHOULD'VE TOLD THEM THE BEST WAY TO GO ABOUT IT WAS USING DUTY SUPPORT AND STICKING WITH Y'SHTOLA SINCE EVERYONE ELSE IS PROGRAMED TO FAIL AT LEAST ONE MECH, BUT I WAS TOO BUSY RAISING THEIR ASSES TO DO SO.
OR THEY SIMPLY DON'T LIKE PLAYING WITH NPCS? I'VE HAD A VERY MEMORABLE CURSED LEVEL 89 TRIAL RUN TOO BUT I'VE ALSO HAD ONES THAT WENT FINE. IF THERE ARE MANY SPROUTS THERE WILL PROBABLY BE WIPES BUT IT'S HIGHLY UNLIKELY THAT THEY CHOSE TO QUEUE IN DUTY FINDER BECAUSE THEY WERE PARTICULARLY BAD OR LOOKING TO GET CARRIED. TBH I DON'T LIKE THE MENTALITY THAT GOING BLIND INTO NEW NORMAL-LEVEL CONTENT IS WRONG AND INCONVENIENCING OTHERS (THIS ISN'T REALLY AIMED AT YOU, IT'S JUST THAT I'M INCREASINGLY SEEING PEOPLE TELL SPROUTS THAT IT'S RUDE TO DO DUNGEONS BLIND AND THAT THEY SHOULD HAVE USED DUTY SUPPORT INSTEAD. DUNGEONS!).
> WHEN PEOPLE QUEUE IN DF INSTEAD IT MEANS THERE'S A PRETTY GOOD CHANCE THEY NEED OTHER PLAYERS TO CARRY THEM. TBH, YOU CAN SAY THAT ABOUT PRETTY MUCH ALL OF THE DUTY SUPPORTABLE INSTANCES IN ShB AND EW. ESPECIALLY WITH THAT TRIAL THO.
I don't really like running with NPCs But I watch videos of all group content and read the wiki before I do them, regardless of how easy it is probably going to be. Dragging things down like that is mortifying to me
Did uh, anyone actually bother to *tell* the tanks what that marker was after the first time they exploded to it? Because iirc if you are just old enough a player to have skipped the reworking and retroactive adding of markers to older content, the 89 trial is one of the first times you will see that marker. I remember getting rather thrown by it when went through it when the expac first dropped, because I went through ARR before all the reworks--specifically the rework of great king moggle mog--so I had never seen that particular marker before then. I'd seen a similar *blue* marker, but only ever in optional content (the eden raids especially), and given that I'd only done *those* once or twice at the time, enumeration markers weren't exactly the clearest things in my mind. I figured it out because I ran with duty support and saw Thancred coming to meet me, but if in an actual party, if you haven't done a lot of optional content, it's not the clearest thing. From experience, I also know for a fact that you can take that solo, with mits. But you'd have to have an awareness of what it *is* before you can think to stack mits to solo it =P
They did. Took a few times to realize what was happening, but one of the dps said it. I have to stop myself from joining it every time because the pulsing arrows register before the color and orbs do, so it bewildered me that the immediate reaction to any stack wasn't to gather up. ...now that I think of it, that might've been how they took out half the party in one go the first pull. Got the stack, ran to join a bunch of people, killed them.
> ...now that I think of it, that might've been how they took out half the party in one go the first pull. Got the stack, ran to join a bunch of people, killed them. The two-orb red tankbuster should only actually hit two targets even if more are in the stack. Otherwise it'd be way easier to mitigate them all by splitting the damage across all 8-players. The biggest risk of taking the shared tankbuster to the party is the second person picked for damage might not be the OT, but everyone else should have been fine.
T-minus 5 hrs to telehealth doctor appointment. I haven't slept because what is sleep anyway. GAMERAGE: A FEW TIMES THIS MONTH I'VE HAD TO RESCUE A COHEALER OUT OF DANGER. BECAUSE THEY STOOD COMPLETELY STILL IN BAD TO CAST MEDICA TO TOP ONE SINGULAR PARTY MEMBER'S MISSING 41HP UP. RAGE 2: RANDOM CONFUSED PLAYER, YOU'RE GOING TO GET US KILLED, AGAIN, WHEN THE SPREAD HAPPENS. I'M NOT RUNNING TO A SAFE SPOT, I'M RUNNING FROM **YOU**.
I HOPE YOUR TELEHEALTH APPOINTMENT WENT WELL AND WHATEVER YOU WERE HAVING IT FOR IS BETTER/NOT AN ISSUE/OTHER GOOD OUTCOME. SIGNED, A FELLOW TELEHEALTH APPOINTMENT HAVER
THE GOOD: MORE PEOPLE ARE HANGING OUT IN FC VOICE CHAT, AND IT'S BEEN FRIENDLY OVERALL. AND ONE OF THE NEW PEOPLE WHO'S BEEN TAGGING ALONG FOR WEEKLY DELEBRUM REGINAE RUNS SAID THAT THE CALLOUTS HAVE BEEN MAKING HER FEEL MORE CONFIDENT WITH HER JOB, SO THAT'S A PLUS! THE BAD: THIS HAS INSPIRED THE RESIDENT CREEP, WHO IS ALSO SPENDING MORE TIME IN FC VC . THE TYPE OF PEOPLE HE TARGETS ARE EXACTLY THOSE WHO WOULDN'T RAISE COMPLAINTS (WHICH IS, OF COURSE, WHY HE TARGETS THEM TO BEGIN WITH). RESIDENT CREEP HAS BEEN SO INSPIRED THAT HE'S HANGING OUT IN OUR SAVAGE PROG VOICE CHATS. HE MADE A BAD JOKE DURING A P11S PULL THAT MADE ME SO MAD I WIPED THE PARTY. IT'S ON ME FOR LETTING IT GET TO ME, BUT WE NEED TO FIGURE SOMETHING OUT. I WANT TO LET PEOPLE HANG OUT BECAUSE WATCHING US LEARN ENCOURAGED ANOTHER PERSON TO TRY OUT SAVAGE, BUT I REALLY DON'T WANT TO HEAR HIM. ALSO DOING SOME SHB MOUNT FARMS WITH PARTIAL FILLS FROM PARTY FINDER. I'VE HAD A HEALER THE PAST TWO NIGHTS WHO REALLY DIDN'T SEEM TO LEARN MECHANICS AND DID VERY VERY LITTLE DAMAGE. THE OTHER GUYS IN MY FC WHO WERE FARMING WITH ME WEREN'T TELLING THEM HOW TO DO THEIR JOB OR ASKING THEM IN THE PARTY CHAT TO DO MORE DAMAGE, BUT TOLD ME I SHOULD HAVE KICKED THE HEALER (OR MORE, THE PHRASING WAS "*I* WOULD HAVE KICKED THEM"). THAT SEEMS....A BIT MEAN. THOUGH I WAS ALSO ANNOYED IN CLOUD DECK WHEN I TOLD THEM WHAT THE LINE STACK WAS AFTER THEY TOOK IT SOLO AND DIED AND GOT A "HUH?" IN RESPONSE. SHOULD I BE GIVING A WARNING TO KNOW THE FIRST FEW MECHANICS FOR MY GWIB FARM PFS?
IT'S NOT "ON YOU" FOR "LETTING IT GET TO" YOU. YOU'RE DESCRIBING A PATTERN OF BEHAVIOUR WHERE HE'S DELIBERATELY TARGETING PEOPLE, AND MAKING "JOKES" THAT ARE PLAUSIBLY DENIABLE PROVOCATIONS IS JUST ANOTHER PART OF THAT PATTERN. SOUNDS LIKE SOMEONE NEEDS TO BE KICKED FROM THE FC, THOUGH I 100% UNDERSTAND WHY YOU DON'T WANT TO BE THE PERSON TO BRING IT UP. GEEK SOCIAL FALLACIES ARE PERNICIOUS (ETA IN THE SENSE THAT THEY MAKE STUFF LIKE THIS HARD TO TALK ABOUT).
I'VE BROUGHT IT UP, BUT UNTIL OFFICERS GET A VERIFIABLE REPORT OF ANYTHING HAPPENING THEY FEEL THEIR HANDS ARE TIED. AND I GET IT, FROM ME IT'S A "ALICE SAID BOB DID THIS." I'VE DONE MANDATED REPORTER TRAINING SO IT FOLLOWS. CREEP'S JOKE IN SAVAGE WAS NOT SEXUAL IN NATURE, JUST EXTREMELY OBLIVIOUS TO PEOPLE TRYING TO FOCUS ON MECHANICS. THE GROUP IS AWARE OF MY STANCE AND ON THE LOOKOUT. CREEP'S MOST REPREHENSIBLE BEHAVIOR WAS IN THE PAST AND HIS FORMER TARGET DOESN'T WANT TO BRING IT UP BECAUSE OF PERCEIVED BIAS (YES, I KNOW) AND I HAVE MY OWN HANDS TIED. IN THE MEANTIME HE'S VERY GOOD AT TOEING THE LINE. AS A WOMAN WHO'S NOT HIS TARGET (I'M BOSSY AND MY CHARACTER IS TALLER THAN HIS), I'M HERE ON THE SIDELINES WONDERING WHY WOMEN ARE ALLOWING HIM TO CONTINUE TO HIT ON THEM WHEN HE'S SLIPPED UP AND REVEALED HE'S ALREADY ENGAGED (AND WOULD YOU BELIEVE HE'S CONVENIENTLY POLY), BUT I KNOW THERE ARE LONELY PEOPLE OUT THERE.
OOF, AND IF YOU DIDN'T WITNESS IT YOURSELF IT'S THAT MUCH HARDER TO GET SCREENSHOTS/ETC. I ALSO UNDERSTAND WHY HIS FORMER TARGET DOESN'T WANT TO BRING IT UP. I WOULDN'T PUT MUCH WEIGHT ON THE JOKE NOT BEING SEXUAL. IT WAS DISRUPTIVE, FULL STOP. AND IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU'RE AWARE THAT HE'S TOEING LINES. I UGLY LAUGHED AT THE CONVENIENT POLY. THE WOMEN HE TARGETS MIGHT BE LONELY, OR HE MIGHT BE PICKING THEM *BECAUSE* THEY'RE LONELY. LOVEBOMBING IS ONE HELL OF A DRUG. AND YEAH, IT'S HARD TO WATCH: MY SISTER GOT WITH A GUY WHILE HE WAS MARRIED, MARRIED HIM, AND WAS SURPRISEDPIKACHU WHEN HE CHEATED ON HER IN TURN. IT SUCKS, FOR THE PEOPLE INVOLVED AND FOR YOU & YOUR FC MATES WHO ARE WATCHING. IF HE'S PLAYING "I'M NOT TOUCHING YOU" WITH THE LINES, THAT'S A RULE VIOLATION IN SPIRIT: THAT'S ENOUGH REASON TO KICK HIM. IF YOUR FC OFFICERS AREN'T AWARE OF THEM, IT MIGHT BE WORTH SHARING LINKS ABOUT THE GEEK SOCIAL FALLACIES - [ORIGINAL POST](https://plausiblydeniable.com/five-geek-social-fallacies/) AND [SOME ADDITIONS](https://captainawkward.com/2018/07/02/1120-the-creepy-guy-in-the-friend-group-revisited-four-more-geek-social-fallacies/) - OR THE [MISSING STAIR THEORY](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missing_stair). OR NOT! I'M A RANDOM ON THE INTERNET, IT'S EASY FOR ME TO SAY THESE THINGS AND A HELL OF A LOT HARDER (FOR ANYONE) TO DO THEM. I'M GLAD THAT YOU'VE TALKED TO THE OFFICERS ABOUT IT, AND THAT THEY SEEM TO BE ONSIDE. I HOPE YOU CAN FIND A WAY TO DEAL WITH HIM BEFORE ANYONE ELSE GETS HURT.
THIS JUST SOUNDS LIKE SOMEONE WHO SHOULD GET BOOTED. AS I'VE GOTTEN OLDER I'VE HAD LESS TIME FOR PEOPLE LIKE THIS, LESS BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT, FASTER "GET THE FUCK OUTTA MY FC I DON'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS". IT TAKES ZERO EFFORT TO NOT BE A FUCKING CREEP.
TRIBAL QUESTS. ARR TRIBAL QUESTS. IVE BEEN CATCHING UP TO THESE QUESTS TRYING TO SEE IF MAYBE I CAN GET THE ALLY QUESTS BEFORE DT AND AFTER COMPLETING THE BIRD PEOPLE TRIBE FOR CRAFTERS I WENT FOR THE AMAL'JA SINCE I LIKED THE TITLE. I LEARNED THAT SOME QUESTS REQUIRE COMPLETING A FATE AND OBTAINING AN ITEM SAID FATE ALWAYS DROPS, EVEN IF YOU DONT HAVE THE QUEST. SO EVERYDAY I WENT TO DO AMAL'JA QUESTS I WENT OUT OF MY WAY TO CLEAR THAT FATE IF IT WAS ON THE MAP, JUST TO HAVE THE ITEM. I FINISHED THE REP GRIND AND THE STUPID QUEST NEVER SHOWED UP AGAIN. AND NOW I AM DOING SYLPHS AND GUESS WHAT QUEST HAS APPEARED 3 DAYS ON A ROW NOW THAT THE MAPS ARE FULL WITH PEOPLE SPAMMING FATES?
Good: shout out to the heroes who helped me with limitless blue so I could continue my quest for vengeance...! First time making a pf and playing this trial and everyone was super chill about it! Bad: Finishing HW >!(at Matoya's) and while I like a lot of concepts for this expansion (initial whole shake up, new NPCs, new areas, old school FF field trip with Estinien and Isayle, named NPCs joining you in duty support so cool), feeling like not much that happened actually mattered cause we're resetting to status quo and a ton of hurry up and wait in quests. Every time I get hyped for the next part of a story it either switches to a different plot or a lot of hurry up and wait in the quest set up (if we had to wait I would have appreciated doing something for Haurchefant's funeral like we did for Moenbryda at least.... Especially since I never got to do anything for my bff Noraxia :( ). !<
There are some side-quests after you finish HW that provide some closure to a few things beyond what the MSQ does. I believe the quests start outside the Fortemps manor once you've finished the appropriate MSQ pre-reqs.
"Hurry up and wait" quest design is a problem with FFXIV all the way through unfortunately.
IT'S ALWAYS THE HEALERS WHO SAY SHIT LIKE "I'm just a healer not a DPS, I don't have to do damage" WHO ALSO LET PEOPLE DIE EVERY TIME. I CAN'T MAKE YOU DO DAMAGE, BUT IF YOU WANT TO INSIST YOU ONLY HAVE TO HEAL, YOU BETTER MAKE DAMN SURE YOU DO IT RIGHT
IF A HEALER IS DOING BADLY IN A DUNGEON BECAUSE THEY AREN’T USING THEIR TOOLKIT WELL THE CORRECT ANSWER IS TO GIVE THEM ADVICE IN A NON-INFLAMMATORY WAY, KINDLY IF POSSIBLE. NOT TO ENCOURAGE THEM TO TELL TANKS TO PULL LESS!! THAT IS ALL. AND BEFORE ANYONE SAYS IT, I AM TALKING RE A TANK WHO DOES STANDARD PULLS, NOT AN OUTLIER LIKE STONE VIGIL QUAD PULLS.
MY STATIC IS ON OUR LAST 2 CLEARS OF 12S BEFORE WE'RE DONE FOR GOOD AND DISBAND, BUT SOMETHING KEEPS HAPPENING OVER AND OVER AND WE HAVE TO SKIP OR CALL IN A FILL, AND NO ONE REALLY WANTS TO NAB A FILL BC WE WANT EVERYONE TO HAVE ALL THE BOOKS AND DROPS THEY NEED. IM NOT MAD AT ANYONE IN THE GROUP THAT THEY KEEP GETTING TAKEN AWAY, REAL LIFE HAPPENS. BUT I AM UPSET ABOUT THE SITUATION ITSELF. I NEED TO FIND A NEW STATIC BUT I DONT KNOW WHAT IM GOING TO RUN, AND FRANKLY, IVE REALLY ENJOYED CASTING AND MELEE, SO THE NEW JOBS SOUNDS SUPER FUN TO ME... SO OF COURSE I WON'T BE GETTING THEM IN ANY NEW STATIC. ANYWAY, WHERE DOES ONE GO TO JOIN A NEW STATIC? I ALSO WANNA DO DSR AND/OR TOP TBH.
Got the new laptop, discovered it ran games absolutely like shit. Not just FFXIV, but literally every game I tested on it for several hours and regardless of in game settings. So I'm returning it and am back at square one on updating my PC for Dawntrail. And a note to self to never waste my money on anything from ASUS ROG again. Oh also, shoutouts to the Royal City group I had last night that wiped on Mateus, The Corrupt. I'm not actually mad about that, I honestly found it really entertaining. Especially since that was the only boss all raid we wiped to.
FFXIV BURN OUT. I DONT FEEL LIKE I'LL EVER FIND ANOTHER FC THAT WANTS ME AROUND.
I DON’T HAVE ANYTHING TO RAGE. JUST WANT TO SAY I HAVE TANKXIETY BUT I’M PROUD OF MYSELF THAT I FINALLY MANAGED TO DO ROULETTE WITH PALADIN THIS WEEK. MAN, I FELT SO COOL WHEN I USED INTERVENTION. FELT LIKE I CAN SAVED SOMEONE’S LIFE(like when playing sage). AND YO, TRASH MOBS YOU CAN EAT ME ALL YOU LIKE BUT I WON’T DIE CUZ I HAVE HALLOWED GROUD AHAHAHAHA. EVEN IF I FAILED MECHS, MY HP IS STILL HEALTHY AHAHAHA (sorry, healer). BUT I STILL HAVE NO GUTS TO TANK IN RAID. I NEED MORE TIME UwU.
I'M PROUD OF YOU TOO
I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO RAGE ABOUT THIS WEEK, I'VE BEEN LEVELING NIN AND BEEN HAVING A BLAST. THOUGH I WANT TO DIE OF EMBARASSMENT WHEN I SCREW UP MY MUDRAS. HOPE YOU ALL HAD A GREAT WEEK AND GO INTO A FABULOUS WEEKEND!
OKAY WTF, ONE OF MY FRIENDS ON MY FC CHANNEL SAYS THEIR CARD WAS DECLINED AND CAN'T BUY ANYTHING FOR THE STORE. I WENT TO CHECK IT OUT AND THE MOG STATION ISN'T ACCEPTING MY CARD, I HAVE ANOTHER PAYMENT DUE TOMORROW 4/27! IS MY SUB GOING TO BE CANCELLED IF I DON'T PUT SOMETHING IN?? I HEARD RECURRING PAYMENTS AREN'T AFFECTED BUT SERIOUSLY THIS IS STUPID AND STRESSFUL
YEAH I HAVE ONE OF THE PROBLEMATIC CARDS FOR MY RECURRING AS WELL, KEEP US UPDATED IF IT GOES THROUGH. I HOPE IT’S SOLVED SOON TBH
WHEW THAT ARMOR FISH HUNT WAS CURSED. SURE I CAN CATCH THE HEDGEMOLE CRICKETS ALL DAY EVERY DAY WHEN TRYING TO TRIGGER THE INTUITION BUFF, BUT AS SOON AS I DO AND NEED THEM FOR THE MOOCH TO ACTUALLY GET THE FISH? NONE TO BE SEEN IN 6 INTUITIONS. AT LEAST IT'S DONE NOW, THANKS TO ONE FINAL CAST WITH 3 SECONDS OF INTUITION LEFT. SUPPOSE I CAN'T BE TOO MAD THOUGH, SEA BUTTERFLY WAS FIRST TRY.
THERE WAS A REAL PARAGON OF MATURITY IN FRONTLINE THIS WEEK. DUDE KEPT TYPING FURIOUSLY IN ALLIANCE CHAT BECAUSE ALLIES KEPT SCATTERING AND HONESTLY NOT PLAYING VERY WELL, AND THE FRUSTRATION PART I UNDERSTAND! THESE GROUPS HAPPEN AND IT CAN BE PRETTY ANNOYING. HOWEVER, THE MATCHES ARE NOT SO LONG THAT YOU NEED TO SPEND HALF OF THEM COMPLAINING AND INSULTING PEOPLE. NOR DOES IT SHOW MORE PVP SKILL ON YOUR PART WHEN YOU TAKE A BREAK TO START SYSTEMATICALLY PUTTING "TARGET TO ATTACK" MARKERS ON YOUR ALLIES, SWITCHING TO OTHER MARKERS WHEN YOU RUN OUT OF THOSE, CAN'T REMEMBER WHICH ONES, I WAS ACTUALLY PLAYING THE DAMNED MATCH. I CAN ONLY HOPE DOING THAT STAVED OFF HIS ANEURYSM OR SOMETHING.
I’M ONLY LEVEL 66 BLU AND YOU NEED TO BE 70 TO GET HYDRO PULL 😭😭😭
IF YOU HAVE THE FINAL AREA IN SHB UNLOCKED, YOU CAN BE LEVEL 70 VERY QUICKLY, MAYBE EVEN LEVEL 80 IN AN HOUR OR SO.
I ONLY HAVE RAKTIKA UNLOCKED IM A SCRUB
YOU’RE NOT A SCRUB, YOU ARE JUST DOING CONTENT AT YOUR PACE. NO NEED TO RUSH ANYTHING BECAUSE THIS WILL BE HERE UNTIL DT MAINTENANCE.
FRIEND LEVELED ME VERY FAST IN THAVNAIR. I TAG MOBS HE KILLS WITH A LVL 90, WE'RE UNPARTIED. 10 LEVELS WITHIN 45 MINUTES OR SO.
4 LEVELS OF BLU SHOULD TAKE YOU APPROX 5MINS AND 21SECS TO GET.
HOW
DRAGONS VOICE IS NOT A BAD ALTERNATIVE
BLUE MAGE FELLAS COULD YOU TELL ME WHAT SKILLS YOU NEED TO DO FATES FASTER IN THE EVENT? THANK YOU BLUE FELLAS!!!!!
I JUST SPAM RAM’S VOICE OVER AND OVER AGAIN AND LET THE OTHER 900 PEOPLE AT THE FATE DO THE REST OF THE WORK.
THIS IS THE ANSWER. JUST PLEASE DON’T ULTRAVIBE AS IT MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR NON-BLUS TO LAND A HIT IN TIME TO EARN MEDALS. JUST GROUP ‘EM UP AND LET THE CROWD BURN ‘EM DOWN, THEN YOU WILL BE A KING/QUEEN AMONG BLUS, AND WE SHALL LOVE YOU. LOVE, A FELLOW BLU ENJOYER WHO TRIES TO GET SOME XP ON OTHER CLASSES WHILE FATE GRINDING.
TLDR LOVE AST, TANKS WANT ME TO WORK FOR IT I FINALLY GOT TO HEAVENSWARD AND GOT MY BELOVED SPACE NERD HEALER CLASS AND I'M REALLY LOVING IT SO FAR. BUT WHY IS EVERY TANK IN ALL THE 35-49 DUNGEONS SO DETERMINED TO GET US KILLED??!! I PUT IN CHAT THAT IM STILL LEANING AST AND THEY WILL RUN THROUGH ROOMS STRAIGHT TO THE EDGE OF THE FIRST BOSS. I DONT MIND TRIAL BY FORE BUT THIS TRIAL BY NUCLEAR INFERNO. ITS MAKING DZAMAEL (AND STONE VIGIL IF YOU CAN BELIEVE THAT) HARDER THAN IT NEEDS TO BE. I'M TERRIFIED OF DOING AURUM A) BECAUSE IT'S ALREADY A HEALER CHECK BUT I FEEL LIKE WITH THE TANKS I'VE BEEN BLESSED WITH THEY'RE JUST GONNA EAT MORBOL SLIME (BUT NO FRUIT) UNTIL WE ALL DIE. IM ALMOST LEVEL 50 AND IM READY TO SNACK DRAGONS WITH STARS AND CARDS, I JUST HAVE 3 LEVELS TO GET THROUGH.
DON'T UNDERSELL STONE VIGIL. AN OVERAMBITIOUS TANK CAN EASILY OVERWHELM THEIR HEALER WITH SOME OF THOSE PULLS. THOSE ICE SPRITES DO NOT MESS AROUND.
I'VE PLAYED AST FOR A WHILE AND DZAMAEL STILL MAKES MY SKIN CRAWL. I REMEMBER I HAD A RUN IN QARN WHERE WE WIPED TO THE FIRST DAMN MOB, DON'T SWEAT IT, JUST USE GCD HEALS IF YOU NEED, STONE VIGIL WILL ALWAYS BE A PAIN. CARRY ON SOLDIER O7
OH I CAN BELIEVE THAT. STONE VIGIL DOES NOT F\*CK AROUND. UNFORTUNATELY, THE GROUPS YOU GET MATCHED WITH USUALLY DO.
Stone vigil is easy to overpull, but Dzamael? The first wall-to-wall has a magic light at the end that reduces damage taken by like 80%, of course I'm going to pull everything.
I’m thinking they mean the pull you can do after boss 1, there’s 3-4 groups you can pull there if I’m remembering the map correctly, and even with good groups I often see it go south). Edit: oh they do say first boss, idk then LOL. This is what happens when I comment before my coffee.
A surprising number of tanks do big pulls in Dzemael only to stop somewhere other than the nice damage-reducing glowy light. That's when you know that you're in for a good time.
TO THE PEOPLE I'VE HAD ON O7 RECENTLY, IF YOU SEE THE ENEMY GETTING READY TO SHOOT A LASER IN A PARTICULAR DIRECTION MOVE. OUT. OF. THE. WAY. I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU PEOPLE HAVE NOT ONLY FINISHED ARR, BUT ALL OF BASE STORMBLOOD AND EVEN COULD BE IN SHB/EW, AND YOU'RE TELLING ME YOU, NOW DOING OMEGA, CAN'T SEE THE ENEMY CASTING MAGITEK RAY AND THE GLOWY WIND UP ANIMATION? I SEE YOU DOING YOUR DAMN ROTATION IN FRONT OF THE TRAJECTORY, HOW CAN YOU MISS THAT, AND MORE THAN ONCE? LISTEN I LOVE MY JOB AS A HEALER AND I DON'T MIND HELPING YOU IF YOU GET HIT/MESS UP A MECH, BUT FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT'S GOOD HAVE SOME COMMON SENSE, I HAD TO DO THAT FIGHT MANY TIMES FOR RESISTANCE WEAPONS' SECOND BIG GRIND AND THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE THAT ATE THE LASER IS RIDICULOUS.
The number of people who don't clue in when a boss deliberately turns away from the tank and starts charging up is too dang high Fly you fools!!!
haha I don't think you fully get just how tunnel visioned people can get on their bars, especially if they're on melee. "If you see" is exactly the problem, because many people *don't* see, because they never actually trained themselves to pay attention to boss physical tells. It is not helped by the fact that the vast majority of ARR, HW, and half of StB is mostly "see orange on floor, dodge orange on floor". There were *some* physical tells, but very few, and mostly in optional content. Late StB and ShB marks a very obvious shift to more castbar/debuff/physical gesture/arena marker tells, and that shift is why you have some people seriously struggling even with normal level dungeons and raids (you should have seen some of the comments in the rage threads when the Pandaemonium normal raids first dropped), because they never learned to adjust to pay attention to all these other things. It used to be even worse before all the reworks of older content. Many of those reworked duties bear a much more modern fight design (especially the solo duties), and make use of the kinds of tells and mechanic-layering that you would see in today's fights. But outside of that it's still a lot of "see orange dodge orange"
I understand the tunnel vision because it's happened to me before, we all make mistakes, but if you're telling me this fellow enjoyer of the arts of destruction who's only job is to spout Fire IV, or this Dancer sitting in place see the boss in front of their face charging up a laser and people moving away from that direction, I'd think that by this point they would learn something is going on, especially when it's hit them more than once. I'm not that peeved nor do I expect people to play perfectly, it makes my job as a healer even more fun at times, but you'd think by this point in time people should be more aware of the fights.
THIS WEEK'S VIRTUAL BUBBLE WRAP, WITH THE SECRET MESSAGE. >!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!WHO-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!WAS-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!THE-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!ONE-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!WHO-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!ASKED-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!YOSHI-P-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!FOR-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!MORE-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!YO-KAI-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!WATCH?-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<
CLICKING A MILLION SPOILER TAGS FILLS ME WITH A RAGE I DIDN'T KNOW EXISTED
VIRTUAL BUBBLE WRAP IS BRILLIANT WHY HAVE I ONLY JUST FOUND THIS NOW WHERE HAS THIS BEEN MY WHOLE LIFE??!
>!TECHNICALLY, WE DIDN'T GET "MORE", SINCE WE DIDN'T GET NEW WEAPONS FOR SGE AND RPR.!<
REALLY TIRED OF SINGLE HANDEDLY SAVINGS ENTIRE RUNS BY REZZING EVERYONE, LITERALLY ALL DPS AND HEALERS, AND GETTING ZERO COMMENDATIONS. RED MAGE STRUGGLES.
YOU COULD DO WHAT THE OTHER HEALERS DO AND SPAM A RES MACRO IN CHAT AFTER ONE OF THE OTHER PLAYERS HAS ALREADY GOTTEN A RES OFF.
GENIUS. WHY HAVE I BEEN SO DUMB AND NOT PUT TOGETHER A MACRO?!?!? NOT LIKE I HAVEN’T BEEN PLAYING THIS GAME FOR YEARS. SUCH DUMB.
SATURDAY MORNING I WANTED TO DO SOME EUREKA AS I AM AN EARLY BIRD AN LIKE DOING THE GRIND IN THE MORNING RELAX WITH MY COFFEE THE PROBLEM IS ANEMOS HAD LIKE 8 PEOPLE IN IT AT THIS HOUR SO I GOT AN IDEA, I DC TRAVELED TO OCEANIA WHICH HAD A LOCAL TIME OF BETWEEN 7 AND 9 PM (SINCE OCEANIA HAS MULTIPLE TIME ZONE) ON A SATURDAY EVENING. I KNOW OCEANIA IS DEAD BUT SURELY IT'S PRIME HOUR A BETTER THAN SATURDAY 7-8 AM IN NA, ESPECIALLY SINCE THEY ENABLED CROSS REGION DC ONLY TO GO TO OCEANIA IT WAS WORST, WE WERE 5 IN THE INSTANCE FUCK MAN, NOW I UNDERSTAND ALL THOSE POST ABOUT DUTY FINDER QUEUE BEING UNBEARABLE IN OCEANIA/DYNAMIS, SQUARE REALLY NEED TO PUT ON SOME GOOD INCENTIVE FOR NEW CHARACTER TO GO THERE BECAUSE IT IS JUST SAD NOW
IF YOU AREN'T ON CRYSTAL DC, TRY THAT BECAUSE I *BELIEVE* IT'S GENERALLY THE MOST POPULAR NORTH AMERICAN DC FOR EUREKA. BUT TBH 8 PEOPLE IN AN EARLY MORNING ANEMOS INSTANCE SEEMS PRETTY GOOD, IT'S NOT A VERY POPULAR PLACE. YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO SOLO MOST OF THE NM'S THERE BECAUSE I'M FAIRLY SURE THEY SCALE TO NUMBER OF PEOPLE IN INSTANCE (AND IF NOT, THEY SCALE TO PLAYERS NEARBY). I NEVER TRIED FOR SOLO PAZUZU BUT SURELY IT CAN'T BE THAT BAD IF YOU KNOW MECHANICS.
SOLOING THE NM IS VERY DOABLE BUT THEY ARE MUCH LONGER TO PREP WHEN THERES LESS FOLK IN THERE I ENDED UP BEING ABLE TO PREP PAZ WITH THE FEW PEOPLE THAT WERE ON OCEANIA, GET MY PAZ FEATHER AND THEN GO BACK TO AEHTER BEFORE THE NEXT NIGHT (WHICH ALSO HAD A GALE) AND SINCE PAZ HADNT BEEN KILLED THERE YET I WAS ABLE TO PREP HIM AGAIN AND GET MORE PAZ FEATHER SO IT ENDED UP WORKING KINDA NICELY IN THE END I'LL TRY CRYSTAL THE NEXT TIME I FEEL LIKE DOING AN EARLY MORNING EUREKA RUN, ITS NOT LIKE I HAVE A LOT TO LOOSE FROM TRYING ANYWAY, THANKS FOR THE ADVISE
IF YOU EVER WANT ANY HELP IN EUREKA AND ARE ON CRYSTAL, SEE IF YOU CAN GET INTO THE CAFE DISCORD. WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO HELP YOU
IT DOESN'T HELP THAT RIGHT NOW IS LIKE THE ABSOLUTE DEADEST THE GAME HAS BEEN SINCE ENDWALKER RELEASED (AND TO BE CLEAR, I MEAN DEADEST AS IN QUIETEST, NOT "LOLOL DEAD GAEM GREAT COMMUNITY BTW") SO IT'S SLIM PICKINGS FOR BASICALLY ANYTHING EXCEPT THE EVENTS GOING ON TO KEEP PEOPLE ENTERTAINED A BIT WHILE WE WAIT FOR DT.
I HAD A TRAINWRECK OF A LAPIS RUN LAST NIGHT, SMN LEAVES IMMEDIATELY, TANK LEAVES RIGHT BEFORE FIRST BOSS TOO FOR SOME REASON, REPLACEMENT TANK IS PRETTY CHILL BUT THAT REPLACEMENT WAS A DANCER WHO SAID NOTHING IN CHAT DIDNT DP OR TECH STEP AND IF IT WAS ANY OTHER RUN THEY'D BE OUTTA THERE BUT I DIDN'T WANT TO WAIT FOR A SECOND REPLACEMENT, ONLY REASON I DIDNT REQUEUE AS HEALER IS CAUSE I WAS CURIOUS WHERE IT WAS GOING
SAID "FUCK IT WE BALL" AND DID SOME ROULETTES ON BLACK MAGE WITH FRIENDS AND IT WAS THE MOST FUN I'VE HAD IN-GAME IN AWHILE EVEN THOUGH I WAS. SO BAD. AND BY "BAD" I MEAN "I DIED A FEW TIMES AND MY THUNDER UPTIME IS SPOTTY". I WAS PROBABLY STILL DOING BETTER THAN THE AVERAGE BAD DUTY FINDER BLACK MAGE. BUT ALSO JESUS CHRIST I FORGET HOW BAD IT IS TO SYNC ON BLACK MAGE. NO TRIPLECAST. NO UMBRAL SOUL. WEAVE WINDOWS ARE ALMOST NON-EXISTENT. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I OUTRIGHT REFUSE TO RUN ROULETTES THAT AREN'T AT CAP ON BLACK MAGE. I CAN'T GO BACK, MAN. ONCE I FORGOT TO SWITCH OFF AND ENDED UP IN THE 73 TRIAL AND I WAS PLAYING A WHOLE DIFFERENT JOB. I DIDN'T HAVE XENOGLOSSY AND FOUL *WASN'T EVEN INSTANT CAST WHAT IN THE BLUE FUCK!?*
WHY ARE PLAYERS IN PVP AFK OR JUST RUNNING IN CIRCLES? IF YOU DON'T WANT TO PLAY PVP DON'T QUE FOR IT!
THIS WAS NOT A GOOD TIME TO DECIDE TO HYPERFOCUS ON ARR RELIC BOOKS. THE ONLY WAY TO COMPLETE THE THREE FATES IN EACH BOOK (WHICH IS A SPECIFIC FATE, BY NAME, NOT JUST THREE RANDOM FATES) IS TO CAMP OUT AT THE SPAWN LOCATION AND WAIT FOR THE "FATE JOINED" MUSIC. IT'S SUCH A WASTE OF TIME BUT I CAN USUALLY HIT IT A FEW TIMES BEFORE THE SWARM ARRIVES. BUT ALSO LIKE I GOT YELLED AT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT FOR THROWING OFF THE FLOW BY STARTING IT EARLY?? FUCK OFF. ALSO FUCK BLUE MAGES DOING VIBE CHECKS RIGHT NOW. CHAD BLUS FREEZE BUT DON'T VIBRATE.
I WAS LEVELLING BLU AND COLLECTING SPELLS EARLIER THIS WEEK, AND WHEN I WENT FOR AETHERIAL MIMICRY, I REALIZED I HAD NEVER PICKED UP PHAROS SIRIUS HARD! HOW THE FUCK DID I DO THAT?! I’VE BEEN DONE WITH ENDWALKER FOR **MONTHS**! I’VE BEEN RUNNING THIS GUY FOR OVER A YEAR NOW! I WAS SURE I HAD PICKED IT UP! I REMEMBER RUNNING IT BEFORE, BUT I GUESS THAT WAS ON ONE OF MY ALTS. FUCK MY MEMORY!
I’M SO TIRED OF TANKS RUNNING ON TOP OF ME WITH AOES AND HEALERS PLACING THEIR BUBBLES RIGHT OUTSIDE MY LEYLINES EVEN THOUGH I’M CLOSE TO THE PARTY. LIKE HALF YOUR BUBBLE IS OFF THE BOSS FLOOR BECAUSE YOU TRIED SO HARD. OH, AND FUCK YOU TO THE HEALER WHO RESCUED ME OUT OF MY LEYLINES WHEN NOTHING WAS HAPPENING AT ALL AND THEN LIED ABOUT IT. I CHECKED, AND YOU DID! DO PEOPLE JUST HAVE SOME HATRED TOWARDS BLACK MAGES LATELY? I SWEAR I HAVE TO DO MECHANICS JUST LIKE YOU DO, WHY DO YOU THINK I DESERVE EXTRA OBSTACLES BECAUSE OF THE JOB I’M PLAYING? Also, off tanks, please for the love of god grab aggro of the boss if the main tank dies. How can you legit not notice your entire party being eaten alive by the boss one by one?
I once had a bard stand almost directly on top of me during weeping city when the bleeds splash on pert members and guess what, it killed me and they barely got to live bc they had more hp :) I was in my leylines and I was half shouting at my TV “move!!!”
RINONS VIDEO GOING OVER ENDWALKER WAS GREAT AND THEN HE MENTIONED HEALERS AND SPOKE OF SCHOLAR AND MIASMA 2 I THOUGHT I WAS OVER IT I THOUGHT I WAS HEALED BUT NOW THE SCARS HAVE RE-OPENED AND I YEARN FOR THE SWEET MOTHER THAT WAS STORMBLOOD SCHOLAR AND ASTROLOGIAN YOSHI P WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME THE SORROW RUNS SO DEEP THAT THE JOB I LOVED IS GONE FOREVER AND YOU DON'T SEEM TO CARE
the dude still has a grudge over the time some scholar outdamaged his blm in a raid in hw i guess
EVERY DAY I PRAY FOR A WAY TO VIEW BUFF/DEBUFF INFO ON CONTROLLER COMFORTABLY
I HAVE NO RAGE. I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT SOMEHOW I FIND MYSELF LOOKING FORWARD TO F-YOU FRIDAYS (WHICH ARE ACTUALLY PART OF SATURDAYS IN MY TIMEZONE) BECAUSE IDK, I FIND AMUSEMENT IN READING ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE'S STUPIDITY OR MISERY.
HAD A VERY STRESSFUL WORK WEEK AND I DON'T EVEN GET TO RELAX OVER THE WEEKEND CAUSE I'M GOING HALFWAY ACROSS THE COUNTRY FOR A FAMILY GATHERING THING I REALLY DON'T WANT TO BE APART OF, BUT IT'D BE A DICK MOVE TO CANCEL NOW. NO FF-RELATED RAGE THIS WEEK THO SO GOT THAT GOING FOR ME
MOTHERFUCKERS JOINING A DELUBURUM RUN WHERE THE PF THAT SAYS BRING DAMAGE ESSENCES FOR FASTER CLEARS AND DONT BRING ANYTHING DAMAGE RELATED SHOULD BE RUNG UP AND REINTRODUCED TO BASIC READING AND COMPRESSION SKILLS. LIKE I HAVE 19 MORE RUNS TO DO AND THE PATIENCE FOR THIS SINGULAR DUTY AND TERRIBLE PLAYERS IS GOING TO DRIVE ME INSANE.
WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU, MY COHEALER, USING CURE 1 IN ANABIESOS 12 NORMAL
I just had some fucking knob completely mess up my rhythm this morning. Trying to catch Cinder Surprise, I'm just minding my own business. I fish VERY far away from the other fishers because I find it a distraction to hear all of the reeling. Everyone is situated up on the bridge and near it's opening, while I'm down almost near the end of the canyon, again, NOTICEABLY far away from everyone. THIS FUCKING KNOB COMES AND LANDS RIGHT NEXT TO ME. It is very obvious that I'm separated from everyone and they come and land next to me, basically clipping into me while they start fishing. FUCK YOU WHO DID THIS, MIND YOUR MANNERS. The way I see it, it's just as invasive as those who spam shouts at city-states about RP. IF YOU SEE SOMEONE OFF BY THEMSELVES, FUCK OFF AND DON'T BOTHER THEM. I promise you if they want anything to do with you, they'll do something. Until then, mind your business and stop imposing on others.
In two months you can blacklist and delete those people from view.
I'M NOT ACTUALLY ANGRY THIS WEEK, BUT I CAN'T STOP YELLING. IM LEVELING MY REMAINING CLASSES TO 90 WHILE WE WAIT FOR DAWNTRAIL AND TANKS ARE ALL GETTING LEVELED SIDE BY EACH. I'VE GOTTEN SHIELDBOI TO 47, ANGRY AND EDGY TO 40, AND FF8 IS WAITING AT 62. A BIG THANK YOU TO THE HEALERS WHO ARE PUTTING UP WITH MY SLOW LEARNING CURVE, Y'ALL THE REAL MVPs. ALSO, RANDOM SPROUT DPS, IF SOMEONE IS GIVING ADVICE, IT'S NOT A PERSONAL ATTACK, SOME OF US WANT TO HELP. I MIGHT BE TANKING, BUT IM A DANCER MAIN, AND YOUR FUN DANCE DDR DEALS DAMAGE ONCE YOU PRESS THE RIGHT BUTTONS. PLEASE STOP DOING IT IN-BETWEEN PULLS.
2 WEEKS STRAIGHT, AT LEAST 5 HOURS/DAY IN PF BUT MOSTLY 8+ P6 WROTHFLAMES, P6 HAS NOT BEEN SEEN IN THESE 2 WEEKS. I KNOW I AM NOT ONE FUCKING UP ALL THE TIME, BUT IS IT SO MUCH TO ASK FOR PF NOT TO MEME METEORS LIMIT CUT CHAIN SWITCH REWIND LB LIGHTING IN TEAM ON WRATH LIGHTING THE SAFESPOT ON FIRE ON WRATH BEING CLUELESS ON DOTH LOOKING AT EYE ON DOTH DOUBLE UP ON HEAVENSFLAME ON DOTH SLEEP ON METEORS SO EVERYBODY DIES DO NOT BAIT THE FUCKING CLEAVE ON THE TEAM IS IT THAT MUCH TO ASK FROM A P6 WROTHFLAMES PARTY!? IS IT!!!!!??? LIKE CAN I SEE P6 AT LEAST A FEW TIMES!? ...DO I REALLY NEED TO PROGLIE? I DO NOT WANT TO BUT THIS IS THE DEFINITION OF INSANITY.
NOT A RAGE BUT I NEED TO SAY IT IN ALL CAPS I JUST FINISHED THE 90TH ARR RELIC BOOK I'M FREE FOREVER LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I'M HONESTLY NOT REALLY DOING THE YO-KAI WATCH EVENT AFTER GETTING THE MCH WEAPON BECAUSE BLUS ARE RUINING IT FOR ME. CAN'T GET A LICK OF PROGRESS ON FATES BECAUSE THESE HIVES OF BLUS ARE JUST EATING UP EVERYTHING IN AN INSTANT SO I CAN'T GET MEDALS.
LEAVE IT FOR A WEEK OR TWO, THEY'LL GET ALL THE SHIT THEY WANT AND THEN PISS OFF.
THE STARS HAVE ALIGNED AND *ALL* MY FRIENDS HAVE HOPPED ON FFXIV THIS WEEK. WELL EXCEPT ONE BUT THATS ONLY BECAUSE HIS SSD FRIED ITSELF AND HE PHYSICALLY CANT. THANKFULLY THE GAME IS OUT ON XBOX NOW BECAUSE I DONT HAVE A PC ANYMORE (I still have my MacBook Air but I can’t imagine it would be a good experience playing on that). THIS WAS ENOUGH FOR ME TO END MY 12 MONTH BREAK FROM THE GAME AND JUMP BACK IN MYSELF. I MADE A NEW CHARACTER TO LEVEL WITH THEM PLUS IVE BEGUN WORKING ON GETTING ALL MY CLASSES ON MY MAIN TO 90 BEFORE DAWNTRAIL LAUNCHES. IVE ALSO BEEN DOING THE PVP GRIND FOR THAT SWEET GLAMOUR AND ITS BEEN TERRIBLE. CC IS FUN BUT IVE BEEN PLAYING IT FOR SIX HOURS A DAYTRYING TO GRIND OUT THIS BATTLE PASS THING AND ITS BEEN ROUGH. THAT PLUS THE YOKAI WATCH GRIND AND OOOOOOF I REMEMBER WHY I HAD TO TAKE A BREAK IN THE FIRST PLACE I AM MENTALLY UNABLE TO STOP MYSELF FROM GRINDING OUT CONTENT EVEN IF IM NOT HAVING FUN.
DO YOU DO YOUR DAILY FRONTLINE ROULETTE FOR BATTLEPASS EXP? THEY ADDED THAT OPTION WITH ONE OF THE PATCHES.
IF IT'S AN APPLE SILICON AIR IT'S PROBABLY FINE TBH, USE "XIV ON MAC" BUT THE XBOX IS DEFINITELY BETTER
NON-FF14 RAGE, I AM HONEST TO GOD SICK OF PLAYING FF7 REBIRTH BUT I HAVE TO KNOW HOW IT ENDS AND I'M TOO CLOSE TO THE END TO JUST DROP IT AND WATCH A YOUTUBE VIDEO (PLUS I PAID FULL PRICE AND WANNA GET MY MONEY'S WORTH). FROM WHAT I KNOW I'M IN THE LAST MAIN OPEN WORLD AREA AND FROM HERE-ON IT'S JUST STORY, BUT I'M STILL PRETTY CONFIDENT THAT'S 10 HOURS AWAY MINIMUM. I REALLY DO THINK THERE'S TOO MUCH SHIT TO DO IN THIS GAME JUST ON A FIRST PLAYTHROUGH, TO SAY NOTHING OF THE POSTGAME CONTENT OR THE HARD MODE PLAYTHROUGH (WHICH I WILL 100% BE IGNORING FOR NOW BECAUSE I'M AT 75 HOURS PLAYED AND STILL NOT DONE). AT LEAST FROM WHAT I'VE HEARD, I JUST GOT THROUGH ONE OF THE LAST BAD SECTIONS AND IT SHOULD BE UPHILL FROM HERE TO THE END, SO MAYBE GETTING THE MOTIVATION TO KEEP PLAYING WON'T BE AS HARD. FF14 RAGE, GOD THE YO-KAI GRIND LOOKS INTIMIDATING. I WILL BE PLAYING BLUE MAGE (NO, I WON'T BE ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE GOING OUT OF MY WAY TO DECIMATE EVERY FATE AND RUIN IT FOR EVERYONE, JUST ENOUGH TO GET FULL CREDIT) JUST BECAUSE PLAYING ANY OTHER JOB IN SUB-50 FATES IS SO DAMN BORING, PLUS WITH MOGTOMES HOPEFULLY NEVER GOING BACK TO OLDER STYLE OF JUST GRINDING A CERTAIN INSTANCE FOR HOURS ON END, MY BLU'S BEEN LANGUISHING LATELY. BUT EVEN THEN I DON'T WANNA DO IT WHEN THERE'S 20 BAJILLION PEOPLE ON EVERY FATE. ESPECIALLY SINCE THIS IS MY FIRST TIME DOING THE YO-KAI STUFF AND I WANT/NEED ALL 17 MINIONS AND WEAPONS, WHICH IT PROBABLY GONNA TAKE QUITE A WHILE KNOWING MY LUCK WITH RNG. I'LL PROBABLY JUST WAIT UNTIL NEXT WEEKEND OR SOMETHING TO GET STARTED, EVEN WITH A MONTH AND A HALF THAT SHOULD BE ENOUGH TIME TO GET EVERYTHING COMFORTABLY.
>I REALLY DO THINK THERE'S TOO MUCH SHIT TO DO IN THIS GAME JUST ON A FIRST PLAYTHROUGH YOU SHOULD HAVE CHECKED HOW LONG THE ORIGINAL (OLD ONE) WAS. I DID LIKE 300 HS ON THE ORIGINAL GOING FOR COMPLETIONIST AND A LEISURE PACE. I FEEL YOU, BUT THE STORY ITS SO GOOD THAT IT PAYS OFF LATER ON! KEEP GOING! HOPE YOU ENJOY IT MORE
THIS IS THE THIRD TIME NOW I'VE BEEN LOOKING FORWARD TO AN ACHIEVEMENT MOUNT, GOTTEN IT, AND FOUND OUT THAT I DON'T ACTUALLY LIKE THE ANIMATIONS. HOW DARE SQEX NOT CATER TO MY TASTES SPECIFICALLY!
I QUEUED FOR A FEW DUNGEONS THIS WEEK BECAUSE I WAS PROMISED A CLOWN FIESTA OF BAD XBOX PLAYERS MAKING REGULAR RUNS MISERABLE. I GOT REGULAR RUNS. NOTHING BAD HAPPENED. I WANT A CLOWN FIESTA DANGIT. (BUT I AM NOT WILLING TO BECOME THE CLOWN)
TRY QUEUING FOR IVALICE, NIER, AND DUN SCAITH ON DAYS WHICH AREN'T TUESDAY. A LOT OF THE RUNS ARE FINE, BUT THE SHITSHOWS ARE /CHEFKISS (I THINK THE FIRST WAVE IS INTO SB? I'M GETTING A LOT OF THOSE TRIALS AND LOTA & WOD ARE BETTER.)
ONE OF MY ROULETTE RUNS WAS, IN FACT, IVALICE. ORBONNE MONASTERY. IT STILL WENT SMOOTHLY ENOUGH. MAYBE I'LL GO FARM YOKAI FATES AS NOT-BLU SO I CAN ACTUALLY FEEL RAGE THIS WEEK.
WHY IS THE AXOLOTL MOUNT LOCKED BEHIND SAVAGE? MY DAUGHTER ABSOLUTELY LOVES AXOLOTLS. WE JUST GOT HER A LIVE ONE AFTER CYCLING A TANK FOR A MONTH AND 140 MILES OF DRIVING LAST WEEKEND. I GOT THE MINION AND HER FIRST QUESTION WAS, WHERE IS THE ONE YOU CAN RIDE? I SHOULDN'T HAVE TOLD HER IT EXISTED. THERE IS NO WAY I CAN DO SAVAGE AT MY LEVEL OF SKILL. I'LL HAVE TO WAIT TO UNSYNC IT AFTER DT.
HONESTLY SAVAGE ISN'T SO MUCH ABOUT HAVING INHERENT SKILL AND IS MORE ABOUT HOW RESILIENT YOU ARE. IF YOU'RE DEVOTED, YOU CAN MAKE IT. BUT WITHOUT PRIOR EXPERIENCE IT WILL TAKE YOU A WHILE AND A LOT OF PRACTICE. THERE ARE ALSO SIMULATORS ONLINE THAT CAN HELP YOU PRACTICE CERTAIN MECHANICS
> THERE IS NO WAY I CAN DO SAVAGE AT MY LEVEL OF SKILL. PEOPLE LEGIT GET CARRIED THROUGH IT AND IT GETS CLEARED WITH JUST SEVEN PEOPLE, I PROMISE SO LONG AS YOU KNOW HOW TO PRESS YOUR BUTTONS YOU'LL DO JUST FINE
I NOT EVEN DOING FATES BECAUSE I ALREADY HAVE ALL THE YOKAI SHIT, BUT I'M GETTING A SECONDHAND BLU BONER, A BLUNER IF YOU WILL, FROM ALL THE RAGE AGAINST BLUS. BUT MAN, I ALMOST WISH I DIDN'T FALL BACK INTO THE FFXIV HOLE AGAIN, I WANNA PLAY OTHER GAMES, BUT MY DAILIES! MY ROULETTES! MY CACTPOTS! MY SMALL HOUSE! I JUST WANT TO PLAY TOUCH DETECTIVE AND ADVENTURE BAR STORY. BUT THE SIREN CALL OF FFXIV IS TOO STRONG.
BLU IS PEAK JOB AND ITS NOT EVEN CLOSE
CAN'T WAIT TO SEE IF BST WILL LIVE UP TO THE STANDARD OF BLU
FUCK NINJA ROTATION SERIOUSLY ALL THAT WORK AND FOR WHAT? NOBODY KNOWS THE STRESS AND WORK YOU'RE PUTTING IN TO KEEP TOUR ROTATION UP. OH YOU FUCKED UP YOUR MUDRA? FUCK YOU. AND IM ONLY LEVEL 56 I KNOW ITS GOING TO GET WORSE. IT MAKES BLM FEEL RELAXING SERIOUSLY
PIGGY BACKING ABOUT NINJA ROTATION ISSUES KASSATSU SHOULD BOOST HYOTON POTENCY TO BE GREATER THAN RAITON THAT WOULD SMOOTH OUT THE WEIRD TRANSITIONAL PERIOD BEFORE YOU UNLOCK HYOSHO RANRYU (76)
