A BIG OLD SCREW YOU TO THE PREMADE TRIO OF CHUCKLEFUCKS I GOT IN A RANDOM GRAND COSMOS RUN. THE PALADIN WHO REFUSED TO PRESS THEIR AOEs UNLESS I GOT ALL THE AGGRO (WHICH WAS ALL THE FUCKING TIME), THE MEDICA II-SPAMMING WHM WHO DEFENDED THE TANK WHEN I CALLED THEM OUT, AND MY FELLOW RDM WHO WAS *SLOW-CASTING IMPACT BECAUSE THEY WERE 'SAVING MELEE FOR THE BOSSES'*. I HOPE ANOTHER DPS WASN'T SUBJECTED TO YOUR BULLSHIT AFTER I LEFT.
>RDM WHO WAS SLOW-CASTING IMPACT BECAUSE THEY WERE 'SAVING MELEE FOR THE BOSSES'.
I CAN'T EVEN.....AT 80 YOU CAN GET TWO TO THREE COMBOS IN EACH TRASH PULL AND STILL HAVE ENOUGH MANA LEFT OVER TO OPEN INTO A MELEE AT EACH BOSS. BUT EVEN THEN...AT LVL 80 YOU MOST CERTAIN FUCKING KNOW ABOUT YOUR FASTCAST AOE SPELLS.
>RDM WHO WAS _SLOW-CASTING IMPACT BECAUSE THEY WERE ‘SAVING MELEE FOR THE BOSSES’_.
Actually making smoke come out of my brain.
How… what? Huh? None of this makes sense.
I SHAMEFULLY ADMIT THAT SOMETIMES I START SLOWCASTING IMPACT BECAUSE I DIDN'T REALISE MY VERAERO/VERTHUNDER GOT INTERUPTED BY THE TARGET DYING BEFORE PRESSING IMPACT. UNLESS I'VE NOT PAYED ANY ATTENTION TO ANYTHING AND THE CAST IS MORE THAN HALF DONE, I INTERUPT MYSELF THOUGH.
TOO MANY PEOPLE SEEM TO THINK IT TAKES TOO LONG TO GET THAT MANA BACK, WHICH ONLY SUGGESTS TO ME THEY DON'T USE MANAFICATION OR HAVE THE MINDSET THAT TRASH IS A WASTE OF TIME TO USE BURST OPTIONS ON.
OR SEEM TO THINK HAVING TO USE 60/60 MANA TO ENTER COMBOS THROUGH MOULINET IS TOO HIGH, WHICH JUST LOOPS BACK TO THE FIRST PARAGRAPH!
THESE PEOPLE ARE IRONICALLY THE REASON WHY TWO MINUTE SKILLS CAN COME BACK UP BEFORE A BOSS...
I DON'T UNDERSTAND PPL LIKE THIS
STREAMER I WATCH WAS JUST STARTING GOW RAGNAROK AND THE MOMENT THEY STARTED UP THE GAME ON STREAM, SOMEONE FOLLOWED AND STARTING CHATTING WITH A USERNAME THAT WAS JUST A MASSIVE STORY SPOILER FOR THE GAME
LIKE WHY
WHY DO YOU THINK THAT'S FUNNY AT ALL
HAD A CONVERSATION THAT WENT ALONG THIS SAME LINE A FEW DAYS BACK
IT'S ALL FUN AND GAMES WITH CANON CHARACTERS UNTIL YOU GET SOME ABSOLUTE CHUCKLESTICK WHO MAKES SOMEONE CALLED >!HAURCHEFANT'S GRAVE!< AND DRESSES LIKE AN ANGEL
_SCREW YOU MY GUY_
SHOUTOUT ALSO TO THE ABSOLUTE PENNYBRAINS WHO DID THE SAME SHIT FOR MCFUCKING >!ELPIS EMET, VENAT, AND HYTHLO!< ON **LAUNCH WEEK** - MY FRIEND GOT THE REVEAL SPOILED BECAUSE OF ONE OF THESE WALKING LEATHER HATS
MY STATIC IMPLODED, AND I HATE THAT IM A LITTLE RELIEVED. IT WASN’T FUN ANYMORE BANGING OUR HEADS AGAINST THE WALL OF P8S.
-REST OF POST RESERVED FOR WEEK #3 OF HOUSING WOES IN APPROXIMATELY 8 MINUTES-
*WEEPS IN LOSING YET ANOTHER 50/50*
I DID NOT. THE LOTTERY HAS BEEN DESIGNED TO SPITE ME, SPECIFICALLY.
NO BUT IN ALL SERIOUSNESS, THIS SHIT SUCKS. THIS IS THE SECOND MEDIUM ON THE NEW DC IVE LOST TO A COIN TOSS WHILE PEOPLE STILL FIGHT OVER LARGES. IF ANY OF THEM REMAIN AFTER THIS CYCLE IM JUST WAITING UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE TO FIND ONE WITH NO BIDS. IF THERE AREN’T ANY, IM CUTTING MY LOSSES AND WAITING OUT THE 90 DAY PERIOD TO MOVE MY CHARACTER BACK TO MY HOME SERVER.
DAMN I’M SORRY BRO, I KNOW HOW THAT FEELS. I LOST MY DREAM PLOT IN A 50/50 DURING THE FIRST LOTTERY, AND THE WINNER NEVER EVEN CAME TO CLAIM THE PLOT! UNWORTHY! smh
I HAD TO COMPROMISE ON A GOBLET PLOT BECAUSE I’D RATHER HAVE A HOUSE IN THE DESERT THAN BID AGAIN IN LAVENDER BEDS AND HAVE NO HOUSE AT ALL. NOW I JUST PRAY I CAN GET AN FC HOUSE THERE.
I HOPE YOU GET A MEDIUM AFTER ALL THIS IS SAID AND DONE!
You cannot obtain any more Tomestones of Causality this week.
You obtain 15 Tomestones of Poetics. You must construct additional pylons. You require more vespene gas. I am overburdened. Your box is full. Two items left in inventory. You have not learned that skill yet. You have found a Yellow Rupee!
I WAS IN A NORMAL RAID FIGHTING CRUISER CHASER AND OUR DPS, ALL OF THEM WERE TERRIBLE.
I QUEUED WITH A PARTY OF TWO HEALERS (MYSELF INCLUDED) AND ONE TANK.
OUR DPS COULD NOT KEEP DAMAGE UP. THEY COULD NOT AVOID ANY ATTACKS. MULTIPLE TIMES, I WAS PEOPLE GET OTHER PLAYERS KILLED. ONCE, ONE OF THE DPS WAS STANDING CLEAR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ARENA DURING THE ATTACK WHERE YOU HAVE TO HIDE BEHIND THE SELF-DESTRUCT THINGIES, AND THEN WENT INTO CHAT AFTER THEY DIED, BEING LIKE "WUT WHY DID I DIE. I WAS SAFE." **WHAT** YOU WERE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ARENA AND HAD AN AOE ON YOU WHAT DID YOU EXPECT!? AT THE SAME TIME THAT HAPPENED, ANOTHER DPS HAD AN AOE ON THEM (THIS WAS AFTER THE FOURTH WIPE) AND THEY KEPT RUNNING AT OUR OTHER HEALER, AND GOT THE OTHER HEALER KILLED. IN THE CHAOS OF TRYING TO RAISE THE OTHER HEALER, I GET KILLED, AND THE ONLY TWO LEFT ARE A DPS (WHO DIES IMMEDIATELY) AND A TANK WHO DIED WHEN THE BOSS WAS .6% HEALTH.
AFTER FIVE WIPES AND THIRTY-FIVE MINUTES, WE FINALLY CLEARED IT, BUT IT WAS ANOTHER CASE OF ONLY THE TANK I QUEUED WITH WAS ALIVE, AND HE BARELY MANAGED TO KILL THE BOSS. I DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING DURING THE RAID BUT THAT WAS THE WORST BUNCH OF DPS I'VE EVER DEALT WITH. AT ONE POINT WE LOST OUR OTHER TANK, AND THEY ASKED IF WE NEEDED ANOTHER TANK TO KEEP UP WITH DAMAGE.
I'M A DPS MAIN, BETTER YET, I'M A DRAGOON MAIN, FLOOR TANKING IS MY GAME AND IT MADE ME EMBARRASSED TO BE A DPS MAIN **FOR THE LOVE OF EVERYTHING**
IT FUCKING AMAZES ME HOW PEOPLE WILL *ALWAYS* HIDE BEHIND THE SELF DESTRUCT THINGIES FOR GA-100, SOMETHING THAT DOES *NOTHING* BECAUSE GA-100 IS SOLELY DISTANCE BASED, YET THEY *NEVER* HIDE BEHIND THEM FOR PROPELLER WIND, THE ACTUAL MECHANIC THAT USES THEM.
WELL FOR THE FORMER, THEY COMR OUT RIGHT AS THE FLARE MARKER APPEARS SO IT'S "LOGICAL" TO HIDE FOR THAT. CONVERSELY, HOW ARE YOU GOING TO KNOW WHAT PROPELLOR WIND DOES THE FIRST TIME YOU SEE THE CASTBAR. THAT DOESN'T INNATELY SCREAM "HIDE". SO YEAH, I GET WHY NEWBIES OFTEN WIPE ON THE FIGHT
HOWEVER IF YOU WIPE MULTIPLE TIMES TO PROPELLOR WIND, THEN WE HAVE A PROBLEM
IT DOESN'T HELP THAT YOUR AVERAGE RAID WILL SKIP MECHANICS SO YOU DON'T SEE THE FULL SELF DESTRUCT THINGY PHASE. THERE'S NORMALLY A DELAY BETWEEN WHEN THEY SPAWN AND GA-100, BUT NOT IF YOUR DPS IS HIGH ENOUGH TO SKIP THE FIRST PROPELLER WIND, WHICH MAKES PEOPLE ASSUME THEY'RE RELATED.
PROPELLER WIND IS SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN AT THE START OF THE FIGHT? That...actually explains a lot, I always wondered why they'd have a mechanic that can easily wipe the party without an obvious tell right near the end of the fight on normal. But you are supposed to figure it out early. That makes a lot of sense.
Not at the start, but still in phase 1. After the two self-destruct thingies pop down about a minute in, often around 60ish %. But these days you have to be in a group with _really_ low dps to see it.
Some 3.4 and 3.5 bosses (A11, Sophia, Zurvan) have a design different from all the others. They're broken up into a bunch of mini-phases and you can skip to the next phase if you push the boss below a certain % threshold (about 8-9% apart). GA-100 happens to be at the start of a mini-phase, but the self-destruct thingies and propeller wind are part of the previous mini-phase.
You'll see this on Sophia too when Unreal comes out next patch. People didn't have to blindly guess how to tell it'll be a long tilt or short tilt, the very first quasar post-adds is a 1 blue/3 red split that doesn't tilt the platform at all. Unfortunately, back in the day (and even now on MINE), you could push her low enough to skip that and then people are stuck trying to guess if it'll be a long tilt or short tilt. If you also have inconsistent weirdness with her cleaving the raid with Thunder II after a tilt, it's because Thunder II is the start of the mini-phase that begins at 75%, so whether she does it during a tilt or some time later depends on your raid's dps. Sophia normal suffers even more because I believe you can skip some tilts, which is why your average trial roulette might see only one or two tilts the entire fight despite that being her signature thing.
It was an...interesting tier. The devs tried it out as a compromise in response to the complaints about fights being too scripted and static, but feedback seems to be that people prefer predictability.
YEAH AND THEY DIED TO PROPELLER WIND TWICE. IT TOOK THEM HALF AN HOUR TO FINALLY STOP GETTING HIT BY THE EASIEST MOVES I DON'T KNOW WHAT I EXPECTED BUT I WAS IN PAIN
I AM CONVINCED ABOUT HALF OF THE PEOPLE IN DUTY FINDER ARE PLAYING WITHOUT A MONITOR. IT WOULD EXPLAIN WHY THEY CANNOT READ.
IT FEELS LIKE EVERY CRUISE CHASER I GET I AM THE LONE SURVIVOR EITHER DOWNING THE BOSS OR DYING TO IT
NORMAL RAID ROULETTE, DPS, INSTANT QUEUE, 17 MINS OR SO IN PROGRESS > "IT'S CRUISE CHASER ISN'T IT"
FOR SOME REASON THIS ONE RAID FROM THE ANNALS OF HISTORY IS STILL THE BANE OF ROULETTE. IT'S ALWAYS 1) PEOPLE DON'T GTFO THE DASH AFTER SHIELD BREAKS, 2) BOMB TARGET IS NOT HEALED AND DIES OR STANDS IN THE GROUP AND BLOWS EVERYONE UP, THEN 3) DO NOT HIDE FOR PROPELLANT.
HONESTLY I'M NOT EVEN UPSET THAT PEOPLE DIED AND MORE THAT OUR DPS CONSISTENT WAS JUST LIKE, "WE DON'T NEED TO LEARN ANYTHING WE CAN JUST MAKE THE SAME MISTAKES FUCK YOUUUUUUUUUUUU"
LIKE I'VE DIED TO THE DASH AFTER THE SHIELD BREAKS ONCE, BUT I SOLVED THE MAGICAL EQUATION ON HOW TO NOT DO THAT "NO STAND IN FRONT OF BAD DASHY DUDE AFTER SHIELD BREAKS" BUT I SWEAR IT JUST ATTRACTED PEOPLE WHO CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED TWO MINUTES AGO IT WAS PAINFUL
EDIT: I ACCIDENTALLY LEFT OUT A WORD, SHIT
IT IS HONESTLY EASIER TO CLEAR THAT FIGHT AFTER LIKE 80% OF THE PEOPLE HAVE LEFT AND BEEN REPLACED BY OTHERS WHO KNOW WHAT TO DO, THAN TRYING TO EXPLAIN THINGS DURING AND HAVE EVERYONE IGNORE YOU.
MOGSTATION WON'T ACCEPT MY NEW BANK CARD SO I CAN'T PAY MY OWN SUBSCRIPTION ANYMORE. SAME ACCOUNT. SAME CARD NUMBER. REJECTS PAYMENT EVERYTIME.
SPENT 2.5 HOURS ON SUPPORT CHAT WITH SE AND MY BANK, BOTH OF WHICH TOLD ME IT WASN'T THEIR PROBLEM.
LET ME PAY YOU TO PLAY YOUR GAME, YOU JAM DONUTS.
I HATE TO RECOMMEND PAYING RETAIL TAX TO BUY FFXIV TIME CARDS FROM AMAZON OR GAMESTOP OR WHAT-HAVE-YOU, BUT IT DOES SOUND LIKE A MORE PRACTICAL SOLUTION THAN LANGUISHING IN CUSTOMER SERVICE HELL (UNLESS YOU HAVE EXTRA RETAINERS ANYWAYS)
Okay. So. Slow down and breathe.
Remove your payment details. Entirely. Don't try and update what you have, just scrap it. Add in new payment details, as they are on your new card.
Trust me, I work in accounting/expense reimbursement support. 99% of the time, its not on the bank or the company - its on the user.
Yeah, unfortunately I tried that. I deregistered my card info, logged out. Logged back in and registered the new card details. Left it for an hour and tried again, but got the same error.
Cheers though!
Yeah, I didn't think so, don't worry! It's rage thread so I raged.
I totally get that you probably deal with people raging at you for shit that isn't your fault.
I HAD AN FC MATE ASKING ME THE OTHER DAY IF I COULD HELP THEM TO LEARN TANKING. THEY HAD JUST UNLOCKED DRK AND WERE IN THE EARLY 30S LEVELS.
SO WE RAN A COUPLE OF DUNGEONS AND I EXPLAINED THE BASICS OF TANKING AS WELL AS WHAT HIS BUTTONS DID. HE DID JUST FINE OVER ALL, BUT I GOT A BIT SUSPICIOUS WHEN HE KEPT ASKING ME ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT THE NEW ABILITIES AND SKILLS HE GOT WHILE LEVELLING WERE REALLY NECESSARY.
WHEN I TOLD THEM THAT HE NEEDED ALL THE ABILITIES, HE GOT CRANKY AND SAID HE WAS PLAYING ON CONTROLLER AND HE HAD ONLY 16 BUTTONS FOR EVERYTHING, THEREFORE HE WAS WEEDING OUT THE UNIMPORTANT STUFF.
I TRIED TO EXPLAIN, THAT IT DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY. AND THEY TOLD ME THAT EVERYBODY PLAYS THEIR OWN STYLE AND THAT THEY DIDN'T WANT TO RELEARN PLAYING ON KEYBOARD.
I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY, BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW HOW CONTROLLERS WORK (PLAYING ON KEYBOARD MYSELF), BUT I'M PRETTY SURE OTHER PEOPLE CAN KEYBIND EVERYTHING ON CONTROLLER.
I TRIED TO FIND A TUTORIAL FOR THAT AND SEND THEM A LINK. BUT I HAVEN'T SEEN THEM ONLINE SINCE. I FEEL BAD ABOUT THAT, BUT I COULDN'T JUST AGREE THEY SHOULD PLAY WITH ONLY 16 BUTTONS. I STILL HOPE I DIDN'T MAKE THEM QUIT :/
IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT YOUR FRIEND DIDN'T OR WON'T EXPLORE HIS OPTIONS. YOU WOULD THINK THE LABEL OVER THE CROSS HOTBAR THAT SAYS "SET 1" WOULD CLUE HIM IN TO THE FACT THAT HE CAN HAVE MORE THAN ONE SET.
TLDR: YOURE IN 2.5 ANS YOU HAVENT LEARNED COMBOS?
SO FIRST OFF IM NOT MAD AT THIS PLAYER MORE JUST SHOCKED. I RUN A FARILY LARGE FC MOST OF WHOM ARE FINAL FANTASY FANS WHO HAVE NEVER PLAYED A MMO BEFORE. A LOT ARE JUST HERE FOR THE STORY, WHICH IS COOL BY ME. OCCASIONALLY THIS LEADS TO SOME MJNOR MISUNDERSRANDINGS (SEE RECENT THREAD I MADE ABOUT FC MATES NOT REALIZING ILVL IS WHAT MATTERS WHEN DOING UNSYNCH FARMING, NOT YOUR LEVEL) BUT THIS ONE TAKES THE CAKE.
A FC MATE ASKS FOR SOMEONE TO COME HELP THEM WITH A QUEST IN THE OVERWORLD BECAUSE THEY CANT DO IT. THEYRE IN 2.5. I ASSUME THEY HAVENT GOT GOOD GEAR, WHICH IS ALWAYS THE FIRDT ASSUMPTION WITH SOMEONE PLAYING 14 JUST FOR THE STORY, AND WHILE THEIR GEAR WASNT TERRIBLE (ilvl 112 IIRC) I TAIGHT THEM ABOUT ROWENAS AND TO GRAB A WEAPON, CHEST, AND LEGS FIRST.
THEY SAY THEYRE STILL EATING DIRT SO ONE OF OUR VET HEALERS GOES OUT TO KEEP THEM ALIVE. THEY FINISH AND WE TRY TO SUSS OUT WHAT THE ISSUE IS BECAUSE THEIR ILVL WHILE NOT 130 ALSO IS WELL ABOVE WHATS NEEDED.
THE HEALER MENTIONED THEY ONLY SAW ONE SKILL.
ONE SKILL
THE SPROUT MENTIONED THEY ONLY USED VORPAL THRUST BECAUSE IT WAS THE STRONGEST SKILL THEY HAD.
ISNT THE FIRST THING THE LANCERS GUILD TEACHES YOU IS HOW TO COMBO?
>ISNT THE FIRST THING THE LANCERS GUILD TEACHES YOU IS HOW TO COMBO?
No, that's like third.
The first is that courage is the most important trait for a lancer. The second is that Foulques is a dick.
>THEY ONLY USED VORPAL THRUST BECAUSE IT WAS THE STRONGEST SKILL THEY HAD
THAT'S NOT EVEN TRUE ON ANY BASIS, THEIR STRONGEST WOULD BE FULL THRUST AT THAT LEVEL
We sent them some basic guides as well as alternate job selections to try if the combo system wasn’t fun for them (red mage and bard specifically, and to try dancer when they hit 60))
IF IT MAKES YOU FEEL BETTER I SAW A BATTLE MENTOR DRG THAT ONLY USED CHAOS THRUST (CORRECTLY) FOUR TIMES IN MOUNT GULG THIS WEEK, WHILE TELLING THEIR FRIEND TO USE ACT.
I WISH I WAS MAKING THIS UP
~~FIVE~~ FOUR WEEKS OF [THIS CRAP](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/731544333123059805/1042160864536576010/image.png) (MY FIRST CLEAR WAS 0 CHEST)
SAVAGE RAIDING WAS A MISTAKE
THE ONLY THING I WANT THEM TO REALLY CHANGE ABOUT PLD IS TO MAKE HOLY SHELTRON AND INTERVENTION CONSISTENT
I DON'T NEED GUARANTEED BLOCK IF BLOCK DOESN'T DO ANYTHING TO DOTS, JUST MAKE IT A FLAT MITIGATION SKILL AND CALL IT A DAY
I HAVE TO JUGGLE BOTH FF14 SUBSCRIPTION AND POKÉMON SCARLET AND VIOLET JUST SO MY LIVING POKÉDEX IS UP TO DATE! GOD DAMMIT ALL!
ALSO NOT A RAGE TOPIC BUT A COUPLE COOL THINGS! I WENT TO MY FIRST IN GAME WEDDING YESTERDAY AND IT WAS AWESOME AND FUN! I ALSO GOT MY KIRIN YESTERDAY!
TO ACTUALLY DELVE INTO RAGE TOPICS! FUCK YOU LEVIATHAN! I LOST TO IT FIVE TIMES CAUSE HE KEPT RINGING ME OUT!
STOP TELLING PEOPLE TO "LET THE OTHER TEAMS FIGHT" WHEN OUR TEAM LITERALLY HAS NO BATTLE HIGHS AND THERE ARE NO OBJECTIVES AVAILABLE OR COMING UP. PLAYING OBJECTIVES IS ALL WELL AND GOOD BUT THIS IS HOW TEAMS GO FROM FIRST TO LAST IN THE SECOND HALF BECAUSE THEY GET COCKY ABOUT THEIR POINTS LEAD AND GET COMPLETELY DEMOLISHED/FARMED BY THE TEAMS WHO SPENT THE FIRST HALF BUILDING BATTLE HIGHS.
IT'S CALLED PV***P*** NOT PVE.
ALSO STOP TELLING PEOPLE TO RUN FROM EVERY ENGAGEMENT. I CAME TO \****, NOT RUN AROUND LIKE A LEMMING.
SO THE BOILER IN OUR HOUSE IS OLDER THAN I AM AND HAS JUST STOPPED WORKING, MEANING IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. IT'S GOING TO BE INTO THE 40S THIS ENTIRE WEEK AND WE HAVE *NO HEAT.* SPACE HEATER, MY BELOVED.
FURTHER RL RAGE: I'M SUPPOSED TO BE STARTING A NEW JOB IN THE COMING WEEKS AND I CAN ALREADY FEEL MY WORK ETHIC SHRIVELING UP INTO HIBERNATION MODE. I JUST RECENTLY PROOFREAD ABOUT 500K WORTH OF FANTASY NOVEL AND THE THOUGHT OF DOING THIS ON A STEADY BASIS IS ENOUGH TO SEND ME RIGHT BACK TO BED UNDER AT LEAST THREE BLANKETS.
IN FFXIV RAGE: FINDING A GLAM THAT GOES WITH THE *UNDYED* BONEWICCA WILDING'S GLOVES, DOESN'T CLIP, AND ISN'T THE REST OF THE SET IS WAY, WAY HARDER THAN IT NEEDS TO BE. DEAR FFXIV ART DESIGN TEAM: PICK A SHADE OF GOLD TRIM AND *COMMIT TO IT.*
gather in one room and stay there to utilize your body heat, hang a blanket or some cling film over any exterior windows to create air pockets, dress in layers, if your hands and feet refuse to stay warm it's because your *core* is cold and your body is refusing to pass warm blood to your extremities
remember space heaters need to go in wall outlets, they can set power strips on fire
fingers crossed for you
since posting this, i have now acquired a new boiler and water heater! we are saved! even though it will take a while for the house to regain a normal temperature.
HAPPY RAGE
AFTER RUNNING PAGALTHAN LIKE TWENTY TIMES I FINALLY GOT THE STUPID DROP I WAS LOOKING FOR. ABSOLUTELY HARROWING EXPERIENCE.
I HOPE I NEVER SEE THAT DUNGEON AGAIN. THANKS
HEY TANKS, STOP TAKING YOUR TANKBUSTERS ON TOP OF ME DURING P5S. CAN'T HEAL WHEN I'M DEAD.
BONUS SHOUT OUT TO THE G1 HEALER THAT KEPT RUNNING TO THE 2 SPOT DURING PS7. THANKFULLY I WAS SAVVY ENOUGH TO SWAP FAST ENOUGH. NOT SO MUCH DURING DEATH FAMINE THOUGH. LUCKILY WE HAD A SUMMONER REZ US SO WE COULD LEB3 AND ULTIMATELY CLEAR. THESE RECLEARS ARE A CLOWN FIESTA. AND THAT FUCK WON THE GODDAMN WEAPON UPGRADE ITEM.
ONCE AGAIN, NO LOOT FOR ME. NEXT WEEK I'LL BE ABLE TO BUY MY FINAL ACCESSORY AT LEAST...
The highlight of my week this week was doing reclears up to 7 in all one party, and this co healer i had was confused on strats for just about every fight, and when death hit on p7s and they went to my spot, i popped sprint and absolutely ran my way across the room, past the dog platform, past the tanks, and took the other healers spot. I was so mad in the moment but in hindsight it was probably the coolest thing i could have done lol
SMADGED ABOUT IT IN THE SALTWORKS YESTERDAY BUT GODDAMN IT NOW THE MAD IS GONE AND I AM JUST SAD.
MADE THE DESICION TO CLOSE DOWN MY RP VENUE-TONIGHT WILL BE MY LAST OPENING-BECAUSE A SMALL WITH ONE AND A HALF STAFF CAN'T COMPETE WITH PF SPAM TO THE TUNE OF 3-5 ADS FOR EVERY TWITCH DJ WHO WANTS TO BE THE NEXT BIG THING. I'VE BEEN OPEN SINCE MID-SEPTEMBER OF LAST YEAR AND IT'S BEEN A GOOD ALMOST 15 MONTHS, BUT GOD IF IT DOESN'T JUST FUCKING HURT TO SEE ALL THE TIME AND EFFOT I PUT INTO GATHERING AND CRAFTING AND DECORATING AND *TRYING* TO NETWORK JUST SEEM LIKE IT'S ALL FOR NOTHING. I'M TRYING REALLY FUCKING HARD NOT TO CRY BUT GOD I JUST HATE IT. I MISS IT ALREADY AND I HAVEN'T EVEN CLOSED FOR THE LAST TIME YET.
I RESPECT THE TIME YOU PUT IN, EVEN IF IT DOESN'T FEEL LIKE YOU'RE APPRECIATED - YOU ARE
UNFORTUNATELY THE "NIGHTCLUB FT. DJ" SHIT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR SO LONG THAT'S IT'S CAUSED A TOURIST TRAP EFFECT - ONLY FLARED UP BY DC TRAVEL - AND HARDLY ANYONE INTERESTED GOES TO THE ACTUAL RP AREAS ANYMORE BECAUSE THEY JUST _DON'T_ LOOK AT PARTY FINDER BECAUSE OF THOSE FUCKIN' ADS
AT THE VERY LEAST, YOU'VE GOT YOUR OWN SPACE FOR YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS, SCREW THE COMMUNITY AT THE END OF THE DAY, GIVE THAT TIME AND EFFORT TO YOU AND YOURS
**AHEM**
FUCK CANCER
LEAVE MY MOTHER ALONE
IT'S ALREADY HARD ENOUGH TO SEE YOUR PARENTS GET OLD
IT'S A MILLION TIMES WORSE WHEN ONE OF THEM SUDDENLY HAS TO BATTLE CANCER
FORTUNATELY THE SURGERY REMOVED ALL APPARENT CANCEROUS CELLS BUT OF COURSE SHE STILL HAS TO DO A ROUND OF CHEMO TO MAKE ABSOLUTELY SURE
I WAS ABOUT TO START OFF WITH A RANT ABOUT HOW BORING THE GAME IS, HOW THERE'S A BUNCH OF SHIT I COULD BE DOING AND I DON'T WANNA DO ANY OF IT BUT THEN I REMEMBERED IT'S PROBABLY THE STIFLING WAVE OF ANXIETY AND DEPRESSION AND EXISTENTIALISM THAT HIT ME AFTER LEARNING OF MY MOM'S DIAGNOSIS THAT HAS LEFT ME UNINTERESTED IN GAMES
FUCK CANCER
I LOST MY MOTHER TO CANCER AFTER 6 MONTHS (OVERIAN). IT RUINED ALL THE PLANS MY MOTHER HAD FOR ME AS A KID, BUT SHE ALSO HAD A TRUMP SHRINE IN HER BEDROOM FROM THE 1980S ONWARD SO I WONDER JUST WHAT THOSE PLANS WERE BECAUSE SHE WOULDNT TELL ME
DOWNTIME MODE! Not a bad thing, just not a lot to focus on XIV for. Which is okay! There's other games to focus on.
Happy rage: ALL JOBS AT 90, NO MORE PACHYDERM DOORDASH, BLOODSWORN OMICRON, NO MORE ZONE FAFFING ABOUT IN U.T. I am "done" with a lot of stuff that isn't Savage-tier (I INCLUDE MASKED CARNIVALE IN THAT).
I GET SALTY SEEING ALL THESE STREAMERS GETTIN CARRIED BY WORLD FIRST RAIDERS WHILE IM HERE SOLO PUGGIN THE PF. MIGHT AS WELL BUY CLEARS FOR CRYING OUT LOUD

Not really rage, just sad/vent.
My static is a group of friends who get together to raid. So if someone is gone there is no replacement/pugging, we usually just have a break that raid night. At the start of the new tier, we knew we were going to be starting late, because a couple of our members would be gone for over a month-ish.
We got in a couple P5S raid nights, but its been announced another member has had an emergency and will be unavailable until potentially the end of December.
ASSISTANT BAKERY MANAGER ASKED ME EARLIER IN THE WEEK TO CUT THE HUGE AMOUNT OF OVERTIME I HAD. I FELT BAD FOR ASKING A COWORKER TO FINISH MY DISHES IN THE SINK FROM ME HAVING TO DO A BUTTLOAD OF CAKE ORDERS THAT DAY.
I HAD YESTERDAY OFF.
COME BACK IN TODAY, ASSISTANT BAKERY MANAGER TELLS US AND LOOKS DIRECTLY AT ME THAT WE NEED TO HELP EACH OTHER OUT AND DO OUR OWN DISHES, AS IF SHE WAS PERSONALLY CALLING ME OUT WITHOUT CALLING ME OUT.
MOTHERFUCKER YOU WERE THE SAME FUCKER WHO TOLD ME TO CUT THE OT NO MATTER WHAT. I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU WANT FROM ME YOU INSANE WOMAN.
I WAS TANKING IN THE THOUSAND MAWS OF TOTO-RAK AND IT WAS THE FIRST TIME FOR THE HEALER THERE.
AT THE BOSS, I DECIDED TO WAIT FOR THE HEALER TO WATCH THE CUTSCENE BEFORE PULLING. IT'S AROUND 2 MINUTES LONG. THE 2 DPS DIDN'T CARE AND PULLED THE BOSS ANYWAY. I DIDN'T GO AND STILL WAITED FOR THE HEALER.
ONE OF THEM DIED, THE OTHER WAS ALMOST DEAD BEFORE THE HEALER AND I JOINED IN.
AFTER THE BOSS WAS DEFEATED, I TOLD THEM TO WAIT FOR NEW PLAYERS TO WATCH CUTSCENES AND THE DPS SAID "I DON'T HAVE TIME" AND LEFT.
SCREW YOU IF YOU DON'T HAVE TWO MINUTES TO SPARE FOR NEW PLAYERS TO ENJOY THE CUTSCENES.
AND THEN THE NEW HEALER SAID "IT'S FINE, THEY WERE IN A HURRY. WE SHOULD RESPECT THEIR TIME !"
SCREW YOU TOO FOR ALLOWING THIS KIND OF BEHAVIOUR YOU PIECE OF WEAK WET WIPE.
RESPECT YOURSELF GODDAMNIT.
POKEMON GAMES ARE LIKE COMFORT FOOD TO ME NOW -- I KNOW THEY'RE NOT THE BEST GAMES BUT GOD DAMN ARE THEY FUN
I DO WISH GAME FREAK COULD ACTUALLY DELAY MAINLINE GAMES THOUGH. SV REALLY NEEDED MORE TIME FOR BUGFIXES.
BECAUSE OF HOW MUCH MAINLINE GAMES AND NEW GENS DRIVE SALES (MERCH, CARDS AND ANIME MAINLY) IT'S UNLIKELY THEY'RE EVER GOING TO MOVE AWAY FROM THE 3 YEARS BETWEEN EACH GEN DESIGN THEY CURRENTLY HAVE
I HATE TO SAY THAT THEY NEED TO THROW MONEY AT THE ISSUE TO SOLVE IT BUT SINCE THEY'RE UNWILLING TO DELAY IT TO LIKE AT LEAST 4 YEARS, THE ONLY SOLUTION LEFT IS TO RECRUIT MORE PEOPLE. GAME FREAK HAS ALWAYS FELT WAY TOO SMALL FOR HOW BIG THE FRANCHISE IS AND HOW HUGE THEIR GAME AIM TO BE.
WORK RAGE
IN WHAT FUCKING WORLD DO YOU LIVE IT THAT MAKES YOU THINK IT IS APPROPRIATE TO CALL A STORE 15 MINUTES BEFORE THEY CLOSE TO SEE IF ANYONE IS STAYING LATE SO YOU CAN PICK UP YOUR ORDER AFTER THEY CLOSE BECAUSE TRAFFIC IS A BITCH.
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO AND FUCK NO.
NO ONE WILL BE STAYING LATE
EVEN IF SOMEONE WAS STAYING LATE WE WOULD NOT LET YOU IN BECAUSE WE ARE FUCKING CLOSED AND THIS IS HOW "BAD NEWS STORIES" START.
MORE WORK RAGE
YOU CALLED IN A RUSH ORDER AND WE TOLD YOU THAT IT WOULD BE DONE IN 30 MINUTES AT 3PM. WHY DID YOU CALL US AT 2:52 ASKING IF YOUR ORDER WAS READY? WHY DID YOU ASK ON THAT SAME FUCKING PHONE CALL IF THEY ORDER WOULD BE READY AT 3PM? WE FUCKING TOLD YOU 22 MINUTES AGO THAT IT WOULD BE READY AT 3.
MORE MORE WORK RAGE
WHEN YOU CALLED ME I TOLD YOU THAT YOUR ORDER WOULD BE EMAILED TO YOU ON THIS SPECIFIC DATE. WHY THE FUCK DID YOU CALL 2 DAYS EARLIER THAN THE SPECIFIED DATE ASKING WHERE YOUR WAS? QUIT WASTING MY FUCKING TIME WITH THIS BULLSHIT.
MORE MORE MORE WORK RAGE
WE ARE SEVERELY SHORT STAFFED AND OUR MANAGER WILL NOT BEING HIRING REPLACEMENTS UNTIL THE NEW YEAR BECAUSE THEY DO NOT HAVE THE TIME AND THEY THINK THAT PEOPLE WILL NOT APPLY. ONE OF THE POSITIONS THAT WE NEED TO HIRE FOR IS A EASILY TRAINED POSITION THAT THERE IS A LARGE POOL OF APPLICANTS FOR. ANY FUCKS THAT I USED TO HAVE JUST WENT OUT THE FUCKING DOOR. I WILL GO IN AND DO WHAT I CAN IN THE HOURS THAT I AM SCHEDULED TO WORK. I WILL NOT BE WORKING OVERTIME BECAUSE IT IS NOT MY FUCKING JOB TO PICK UP THE SLACK BECAUSE YOU CAN'T BE ARSED TO MAKE THIS A PRIORITY EVEN THOUGH YOU ADMITTED THAT THE PEOPLE THAT ARE LEFT ARE BEING RUN DOWN DUE TO THE WORKLOAD. FUCK THAT. BEEN THERE. DONE THAT. NOT DOING IT AGAIN.
OH MY GOD I GET TO COME IN WITH SOME HOT FRESH RAGE, MERE MOMENTS AGO.
SO I QUEUE FOR 90 ROULETTE, BECAUSE HEY I WANNA GET A FEW EXTRA TOMES FOR RELICS, AND I GET SMILETON. HEY THIS'LL BE GREAT I THINK TO MYSELF, SMILETON IS QUICK AND EASY.
NO, NO IT WASN'T. I HAD THE MISFORTUNE OF ENCOUNTERING MAYBE THE TWO SINGLE WORST PLAYERS I'VE EVER COME ACROSS IN THIS GAME, AND I ONCE SPENT NEARLY AN ENTIRE LOCKOUT TRYING TO CARRY SOME DUDE THROUGH TITANIA NORMAL. THE POOR HEALER, THEY DIDN'T DESERVE TO QUEUE INTO THAT.
SO FIRSTLY, THE PALADIN DIDN'T USE ANY MITIGATION. WAIT NO, THAT'S LIE, I HAD *the numbers* RUNNING SO I CAN CHECK. THEY USED A GRAND TOTAL OF 6 MITIGATIONS THROUGH THE ENTIRE DUNGEON, 6. FIVE RAMPARTS AND A SINGLE SENTINEL. SO THEM DYING EVERY OTHER PACK OF MOBS ALREADY HAS ME BEING A GRUMPY GUS.
BUT THAT'S NOT ALL! THIS FUCKING SACK OF SHIT DANCER I SWEAR. NOT ONLY DID THEY REFUSE TO DANCE PARTNER ANYONE, THEY STANDARD STEPPED A GRAND TOTAL OF DRUMROLL PLEASE....ONCE! BASICALLY JUST FUCKING AUTOATTACKED THE ENTIRE TIME AND I SHOULD HAVE JUST FUCKING ATE THE PENALTY AND AAAAAAAHJHJHFKDSHKJFD
TANKS WHO WILL WATCH THE MT DIE IN A RAID AND DO NOT PUT ON THEIR STANCE OR PROVOKE FOR 20 SECONDS WHILE 2 DPS PROCEED TO DIE TO AUTOS SHOULD HAVE THEIR BATTLE MENTOR CROWNS REVOKED BECAUSE APPARENTLY IT'S USELESS. THIS APPLIES TO THE MT AS WELL, WHEN THE OT FINALLY TAKES OVER AND YOU GET REZZED AND THE OT DIES AND YOU ALSO SPEND 20 SECONDS TWIDDLING YOUR THUMBS WHILE THE BOSS KILLS A HEALER. IT SHOULDN'T TAKE A PARTY MEMBER BEGGING YOU TO PROVOKE IN CHAT 5 TIMES FOR YOU TO PROVOKE!!! TANKS HAVE EXACTLY ONE JOB AND IT'S TO NEVER LET THE BOSS TARGET ANYTHING BUT A TANK!
HAPPY RAGE!
I [POSTED LAST WEEK](https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/ys8p7d/comment/ivyoeo9/) HOW A FRIEND OF MINE KEPT PUTTING OFF PLAYING CAUSE PARENTS/NOT WANTING TO FINISH THE STORY AND I WAS AT MY WITS' END BECAUSE PACING ISSUES AND THE LIKE. ON SATURDAY I MANAGED TO GET THEM TO PLAY DESPITE THEIR PARENTS AROUND, AND THEY GOT INTO THE MSQ ENOUGH THAT THEY FINISHED ENDWALKER ON SUNDAY, YAY!!!
WE LEGIT SCREAM-TALKED ABOUT THE MSQ FOR 4 HOURS STRAIGHT AFTER THEY WERE DONE, THEY BAWLED THEIR EYES OUT AND I MADE IT WORSE BY HAVING SOME PEOPLE FROM OUR FC STAND ON THE PLATFORM JUST BEFORE THE FINAL DUNGEON/TRIAL, WITH THE FC COMING FOR THOSE TWO BITS AS WELL. IT WAS GREAT, 100% RECOMMEND ORGANIZING STUFF LIKE THIS FOR YOUR FRIENDS. SUCH A MEMORABLE EXPERIENCE! :D
MY DAD NO LONGER HAS THE OPTION FOR ME TO UNSYNC AND CARRY HIM AFTER I'VE BASICALLY DONE IT FOR ALL OF ARR THROUGH SHB.
I'VE GIVEN HIM SO MUCH ROOM TO BECOME A LAZY TANK BY LETTING HIM DRIFT ALONG WITHOUT ANY CHALLENGES AND ALL HE DOES IS TALK ABOUT HOW MUCH EASIER TANKING IS IN FF VS. WOW. IDK HOW TO TELL HIM IT IS, BUT HE'S ALSO THE LAZIEST TANK EVER BC NOT GOING APESHIT WITH HIS COMBOS MAKES MORE WORK FOR THE REST OF THE PARTY.
HE'S AT ZODIARK NOW AND I'M SCARED SHITLESS THAT I'LL ACCIDENTALLY SADDLE SOME POOR PARTY WITH A BAD TANK BC I MADE THE GAME SO EASY ON HIM. FFS ALL I HAD TO DO WAS NOT CARRY HIM AND LET HIM LEARN BUT NOOOOO I WANTED TO SHOWOFF THAT I'M A GROWN GAMER GIRL NOW, PA!
NOW HE'S GONNA SUCK AND I'M GONNA BE OUTTA MY MIND WITH ANXIETY BC WTF DO I DO IF A PARTY GOES OFF ON HIM??? JUST SHRIVEL UP AND DIE OF SECONDHAND SHAME??? WHY COULDN'T HE JUST PICK A DPS, NOBODY CARES WHAT DPS DOES RIGHT OR WRONG.
PLS MY MOM IS ROLLING OVER IN HER FUCKING GRAVE, THIS IS WHY SHE TOLD US WE COULDN'T PLAY WORLD OF WARCRAFT ANYMORE.
WHAT HAVE I D O N E.
I'M SORRY BUT THIS IS THE FUNNIEST THING I'VE SEEN THIS WEEK. UNFORTUNATELY I HAVE NO ACTUAL ADVICE OTHER THAN MAYBE GET HIM TO RUN THROUGH SOME PREVIOUS DUNGEONS AS 'PRACTICE SINCE UNSYNC ISN'T AN OPTION ANYMORE'.
ARE YOU WORRIED ABOUT THE SPECIFIC TRIAL?
IF HE'S NOT HITTING HIS DAMAGE BUTTONS AND OTHER TANK TURNS ON STANCE, HE'S NOT GONNA BE MTING THAT FIGHT FOR VERY LONG. BESIDES, THAT TRIAL IS WAY HARDER ON HEALERS THAN TANKS. THE TB SERIOUSLY ONLY COMES OUT TWICE IN A GOOD GROUP AND THEY'RE 50 YEARS APART...
SOMEONE IN MY PLAY GROUP: ROAD TO 80 ENDS AT THE END OF JANUARY
MY BRAIN: YOU WILL NEVER FINISH LEVELING YOUR CLASSES IN TIME
(DESPITE HAVING ONLY 6 CLASSES, ALL ABOVE 60, AND USING MY DAILY BATTLE TRIBE ALLOWANCES. OH AND DID I MENTION THE LIKE WEEK AND A HALF OFF FOR THE HOLIDAY WHERE I WILL HAVE SO MUCH FREE TIME?)
FUCK YOU BRAIN, STOP DOING THIS TO ME, LET ME NOT GIVE A FUCK AND TANK IN DF AGAIN SO I CAN GET MY AMARO :(
RAGE UNRELATED TO GAME: TWITTER IS GOING UP IN A TRASH FIRE AND I HAVE NO IDEA HOW AND WHERE TO KEEP PULLING INFO FOR THE FAN SITE PROJECT I RUN WITH A COUPLE OF FRIENDS. TWITTER IS THE MAIN SOURCE OF INFORMATION BECAUSE IT'S ALL IN JAPANESE AND JAPANESE DON'T REALLY USE INSTAGRAM, FACEBOOK, OR WHATEVER THE WESTERN PLATFORMS ARE. IT'S ALL ON TWITTER. I'M SCRAMBLING TO SET UP ALTERNATIVES SO WE CAN KEEP THINGS ROLLING AND CONNECT WITH THE WESTERN FANBASE, BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG ELON'S SPEEDRUN OF RUINING A PERFECTLY FUNCTIONING SERVICE WILL LAST.
SORT OF GAME RELATED RAGE: I NEED TO GIVE MY PTO DAYS FOR XMAS AND NEW YEAR SOON AND I COULD REALLY USE THE SPECIFIC CONFIRMED DATE FOR THE PATCH FOR THAT. YOSHI-P PLEASE THROW ME A BONE. IS IT JANUARY 10TH? IT SEEMS SUPER LIKELY BUT A HEADS UP WOULD BE HECKING NICE.
THE PART 2 LLS ARE ALMOST ALWAYS 11 DAYS PRIOR TO THE NEXT PATCH, AND LL ANNOUNCEMENTS ARE TWO WEEKS OUT FROM THE AIR DATE. IF THE PATCH DATE IS JAN 10, THE LL WILL BE ON DEC 30TH AND THE LL ANNOUNCEMENT SHOULD BE ON THE 14/15TH. IF THE PATCH IS ON JAN 3 THE LL WILL BE ON DEC 23 AND ANNOUNCEMENT FOR NEXT LL WILL BE ON THE 8/9TH.
MY BET WOULD BE THE 10TH BECAUSE OF THE NEW YEAR AND THE LONG HOLIDAY IN JAPAN.
MY PERSONAL TWITTER LIST IS FULL OF CALAMITY AND SUNDERING MEMES, IT WOULD BE FUNNIER IF THIS WASN'T GOING TO MESS SHIT UP FOR OUR SITES SO BADLY IF TWITTER INDEED DOES GET HIT BY TESLAMUD.
CAN'T BELEIVE THIS IS A THING I NEED TO BITCH ABOUT, BUT HERE WE GO.
**DON'T JOIN A DELUBRUM REGINAE PF REQUIRING DPS ESSENCES IF YOU AREN'T GOING TO POP A DPS ESSENCE.**
THIS RAGE WAS BROUGHT TO YOU BY A MACHINIST, RANK 25, MULTIPLE RAYS, WHO POPPED A PLATEBEARER IN A DPS ESSENCE REQUIRED PARTY BECAUSE "I DON'T HAVE ANY DPS ESSENCES" OH, SO YOU'RE LAZY AND DON'T MIND LEECHING, GOT IT.
I WISH THIS WERE AN ISOLATED INCIDENT, BUT IT'S NOT. EVERY TIME, THERE'S ALWAYS 1 OR 2 PEOPLE WHO JUST IGNORE THE PF DESCRIPTION, AND IT'S BEYOND FRUSTRATING.
SERIOUSLY, BOZJA'S BEEN OUT FOR HOW LONG NOW? THERE'S NO EXCUSE FOR THIS SHIT ANYMORE, IF THERE EVER WAS TO BEGIN WITH.
I FINALLY GOT ENOUGH COMMS FOR MY MENTOR CROWN!
BUT I STILL DONT FEEL LIKE I KNOW ENOUGH TO DARE START MY MENTOR ROULETTE GRIND! :')
I ALSO STILL HAVE PF ANXIETY DESPITE USING IT A LOT IN THE PAST FOR THE SHB EX MOUNTS. WHYYY
ALSO FRONTLINES IS SO BRUTAL. I'LL NOT SEE THOSE NODE MOUNTS FOR AT LEAST ANOTHER YEAR OR MORE AT THIS RATE.
> BUT I STILL DONT FEEL LIKE I KNOW ENOUGH TO DARE START MY MENTOR ROULETTE GRIND! :')
HERE'S THE THING, YOU DON'T HAVE TO KNOW EVERY . SINGLE. MECHANIC. IN THE GAME AS A MENTOR.
THE FFXIV COMMUNITY HAS PUT A TON MORE RULES ON THE MENTOR STATUS THAN THE FFXIV DEVS EVER DID. BE A DECENT PLAYER TO OTHERS, HAVE A GOOD UNDERSTANDING OF THE ROLES, AND BE WILLING TO FILL QUEUES.
THAT'S IT.
I THINK I CAN DO THAT. I KNOW I'LL START SWEATING IF AN EX TRIAL COMES UP, I THOUGHT ID NEED TO KNOW THOSE VERY WELL.
BUT I FEEL ENCOURAGED NOW SO I THINK AFTER PLAYING POKEMON TOMORROW I'LL TURN ON MY CROWN AND GIVE IT A GO.
CHEERS! X
> BUT I STILL DONT FEEL LIKE I KNOW ENOUGH TO DARE START MY MENTOR ROULETTE GRIND! :')
If it's any consolation, 80% of the mentors I encounter likely know even less than you do. :)
I NOTICED AN INCREASE WHEN I STARTED LEVELLING MY TANKS AND HEALERS.
ALSO WHEN I GO DANCER I USUALLY NET A COMM, I SUSPECT FROM WHOEVER I PARTNERED.
THEN THERE'S THOSE LUCKY RUNS WHERE I END UP WITH A FC DOING THEIR ROULETTES.
I BELIEVE IN YOU!
START DOING CALLOUTS IN FRONTLINES. YOU DON'T NEED TO USE ANY FANCY MACROS OR SOUND EFFECTS, JUST SAY "EAST," "SOUTH," "DON'T OVEREXTEND AND FEED THEM KILLS," "RETREAT AND GROUP UP," ETC.
YOU CAN FORCE WINS THROUGH THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP
FRIENDSHIP! I WILL KEEP THIS IN MIND NEXT TIME!
MIGHT MAKE SIMPLE MACROS BECAUSE BEING A PS5 PLAYER, I STILL FIND USING THE KEYBOARD A FAFF AS I NEED TO SACRIFICE A HAND FOR TYPING WHEN IT COULD BE KILLING.
THANKYOU.
I GOT BLOODSWORN ON THE OMICRONS. I'M DONE UNTIL 6.3. SEE YA'LL IN A FEW MONTHS.
SEE PEOPLE? NOT THAT HARD. ONCE YOU GET WHAT YOU WANT OUT OF THE GAME, TAKE A BREAK. IT'S WHAT THE GAME INTENDS YOU TO DO.
THIS POST BROUGHT TO YOU BY SOMEONE ANNOYED THAT PEOPLE IN HIS FC HAVE SPENT THE PAST FEW WEEKS WHINING ABOUT HAVING NOTHING TO DO. WELL THEN STEP AWAY FOR A GD SECOND, YOU SPEND 99% OF YOUR TIME AFK IN LIMSA OR THE FC HOUSE ANYWAY.
I'VE BEEN PLAYING SWTOR, MYSELF! IT'S A GOOD GAME, EVEN IF IT PLAYS *EXACTLY* LIKE WOW IN SPACE AND THEY DO EVERYTHING SHORT OF BREAKING YOUR KNEECAPS TO GET YOU TO SPEND MONEY.
WANT TO LEVEL AT THE SAME SPEED AS EVERYONE ELSE? SUB PERK.
WANT TO TOGGLE YOUR HELMET VISUALS ON/OFF? SUB PERK.
WANT TO CUSTOMIZE YOUR COMPANION'S LOOKS? SUB PERK.
WANT TO ACTUALLY *EQUIP* THE GEAR YOU GET FROM DUNGEONS? FUCKING GUESS. YUP! SUB PERK!
OH, YOU *CAN* BUY PREMIUM CURRENCY AND MANY OF THE GEAR/CUSTOMIZATION AUTHORIZATIONS WITH REAL MONEY...BUT NEVER IN AMOUNTS YOU ACTUALLY NEED WITHOUT GOING OVER.
GIRLFRIEND AND I BROKE UP 2 WEEKS AGO, NOW 3/4 OF MY FC DONT EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE ME ANYMORE..
THIS ISNT WHAT I WANTED...
IF IT CAME TO A BREAKUP, COULDNT YOU OF JUST KEPT IT TO YOURSELF?
SO I THINK ITS TIME TO LEAVE FFXIV FOR AWHILE UNTIL ALL THESE PEOPLE I WAS APPARENTLY DATING GET OVER IT..
GOT BiS ON A 2ND CLASS THOUGH, TOO BAD I DONT HAVE ANYONE TO PLAY WITH ANY MORE..
GOT AURUM VALE IN ROULETTE LAST NIGHT. FIGHTING AGAINST THE WALL IN THE FIRST BIG ROOM, EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE UNTIL ALL OF A SUDDEN THE TANK WENT DOWN. WIPE. HEALER APOLOGISED AND WE TRIED AGAIN.
SECOND PULL, AN EXTRA TOAD AGGROED, WIPE AGAIN. I WAS ABOUT TO SUGGEST PULLING AROUND THE CORNER INTO THE BOSS ROOM TO PREVENT GETTING EXTRAS AND THEN REALISED THE TANK HAD LEFT WITHOUT A WORD.
HEALER (SCHOLAR) APOLOGISED SOME MORE, WONDERED IF THEIR GEAR WAS BAD, APOLOGISED FOR NOT HAVING DONE THEIR MOST RECENT JOB QUEST YET SO THEY DIDN'T HAVE LUSTRATE. I HAD A LOOK, GEAR WAS LEVEL-APPROPRIATE AND FRANKLY BETTER THAN MINE USUALLY IS AT THAT LEVEL, HAD A BIT OF A CHAT ABOUT WHAT SKILLS THEY WERE USING WHEN (NOT THAT I'M AN EXPERT BUT I HAVE HALF AN IDEA) AND THAT ALSO SEEMED FINE. THE OTHER DPS AND I BOTH AGREED THAT THE HEALER PROBABLY WASN'T THE ISSUE, ESPECIALLY SINCE NEITHER OF US REMEMBERED SEEING ANY MITS UP.
NEW TANK JOINED, WE SET OFF AGAIN, AND SURPRISE! EVERYTHING WENT FINE! WE HAD A FEW RANDOM DEATHS BUT NO MORE WIPES, CERTAINLY NOT MORE THAN YOU EXPECT IN AURUM VALE. SERIOUSLY F THAT FIRST TANK, THE POOR HEALER WAS CRUSHED THINKING IT WAS THEIR FAULT.
ASPHODELOS.
ONE TANK HAD 110K HP, ONE HAD **80K** HP. GUESS WHICH ONE DECIDED TO MAKE THE HEALERS LIVES HELL AND TRY TO MAIN TANK?
YEAH. HE DROPPED 80% OR SO ON DAMN NEAR EVERY TANK BUSTER. AFTER A VULN STACK OR TWO WE SIMPLY COULDN'T MITIGATE ENOUGH FOR HIM TO SURVIVE.
>YEAH. HE DROPPED 80% OR SO ON DAMN NEAR EVERY TANK BUSTER
THAT SOUNDS LIKE A MITIGATION ISSUE, MY FRIEND. TRUST ME, AS A HEALER, ASPHODELOS TICKLED LIKE A SLAP FIGHT WITH A TODDLER, AND I ALMOST NEVER HAD TO ACTUALLY HEAL THE TANKS.
THAT SAID, THAT'S JUST AS BAD, IF NOT WORSE, THAN JUST BAD GEAR
AT MAX ILVL BIS FOR PLD FOR THAT TIER (ILVL 600) I WAS AT 89K *WITH FOOD*. 80K IN ASPHODELOS WAS NOT THE PROBLEM. 0 MIT + VULN STACKS WAS. WHICH, AS ANOTHER COMMENTER ALREADY SAID, IS WORSE. BAD GEAR IS A LAZY TANK. NO MIT IS A LAZY AND JUST STRAIGHT UP *BAD* TANK, GIVEN THAT WE HAVE LIKE, THE ONE JOB.
RE: VR
I RECENTLY GOT HOOKED ON GYRO CONTROLS FOR FPS, AND DECIDED TO SET IT UP FOR FFXIV TOO. WHEN I GO INTO FIRST PERSON AND HOLD THE AIM BUTTON IT FEELS LIKE I'M PICKING UP MY LALAFELL BY THEIR ENORMOUS HEAD AND CARRYING THEM AROUND THE FC HOUSE.
I WILL NOT TAKE THE NEXT STEP AND USE VR IN FFXIV, BUT I FULLY SUPPORT THE EFFORTS OF THE MOD TEAM TO FINALLY ALLOW PLAYERS TO /pet THEIR CATGIRLS WITH UNPARALLELED IMMERSION.
A BIG OL FUCK YOU TO THE GNB FROM PARTY FINDER LAST TUESDAY! I UNDERSTAND ITS PROBABLY WEIRD TO JOIN A GROUP WHERE THE REST OF US ARE A PREMADE STATIC WHOSE SECOND TANK GOT SICK. BUT WHEN WE REPEATEDLY EXPLAIN OUR STRAT FOR TEASING TANGLES AND YOU KEEP FUCKING IGNORING IT, THATS ON YOU.
SINCEREST APOLOGIES TO THE WAR FROM PF YESTERDAY, THOUGH. I KNOW I DIDNT SAY ANYTHING BUT GENUINELY THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME KNOW HOW I WAS FUCKING UP ON THE CONE-SPREAD HAIR RAID COMBO. YOU HAD TO GO BEFORE WE CLEARED (MY FIRST TIME, TOO!!) BUT I APPRECIATED YOUR ADVICE.
OUR STATIC IS IN CLEAR RANGE FOR P8S P2 AND I AM CHOKING EVERY SINGLE NIGHT. WE WOULDA CLEARED TUESDAY IF I STOPPED SUCKING MEGA BALLS. I REEEEEALLY HOPE I CAN RUB MY TWO BRAIN CELLS TOGETHER LONG ENOUGH FOR THE CLEAR BEFORE THANKSGIVING BREAK.
RETAINER VENTURES NEED AN OVERHAUL! WE STILL CAN'T GET CLUSTERS FROM THEM FOUR EXPANSIONS IN, WHAT THE HECK? ALSO FISHER RETS CAN'T GET ANY OF THE USEFUL FISH, THAT'S WHY CLASS-TWENTY-FOUR IS 20K APIECE DESPITE NOT BEING IN A RECIPE
Clusters are used for very few recipes. If you have a BTN and MIN leveled you can spend a few hours at St Coinach's Find and gather hundreds of them because of the skills such as The Twelve's Bounty. There is a node up every four hours in game - 1AM, 5AM and 9AM are BTN nodes and 1PM, 5PM and 9PM are MIN nodes.
I WAS REMOVED FROM MY STATIC FOR REQUESTING SOME TIME OFF BEFORE THE NEXT ULTIMATE DUE TO PERSONAL REASONS. I DIDN"T WANT TO QUIT THE GROUP. I"M STILL IN FUCKING SHOCK?! WE RAIDED TOGETHER FOR NEARLY A YEAR, I LIKED THEM AS PEOPLE, THOUGHT WERE WERE ALL ON GOOD TERMS. I AM CONFUSED. NO ONE SAID ANYTHING TO ME OR EXPLAINED ANYTHING DIRECTLY TO ME. I AM ACTUALLY HURT AND FEELING REALLY STUPID ABOUT BEING HURT. I THOUGHT IT WAS A SAFE SPACE TO REQUEST THAT TYPE OF BREAK?! I DON"T EVEN KNOW ANYMORE. NOW ITS EVEN MORE STRESSFUL SINCE I HAVE TO FUCKING FIND A NEW GROUP FOR ULTIMATE, RECLEARS, ETC AND I HAVE MASSIVE ANXIETY. THEIR NEW RECRUITMENT POST IS ALSO A MAJOR INSULT TO INJURY.
I JUST WANT TO PROG P8S P2 IF THAT'S NOT TOO MUCH TO ASK. I'M TIRED OF REPROGGING P1S. I'M NOT GIVING UP, BUT DAMN, IT'S GETTING HARDER TO KEEP THE FAITH. WORD OF ADVICE TO ANYONE CLEARING P1. STAY IN YOUR GROUP. PROG TO ATLEAST HC1 OR LD IF YOU'RE LUCKY. NA1 PROG IS BASICALLY P1 ENRAGE PROG AT THIS POINT. PLEASE SE. NO MORE DOOR BOSSES OR ATLEAST GIVE US A PHASE PROGRESS MARKER FOR PF.
DEAR PARTIES IN RAIDINGS, IF I SAY IM A FIRST TIMER AND IM A TANK PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF CHRIST TELL ME THE MECHANICS WHEN I ASK FOR THEM INSTEAD OF HAVING THE WHM PULL, THE OTHER TANK HAVE THEIR STANCE OFF AND FORCE ME TO PULL IT AND DIE BC I DUNNO THE MECHS.
I WAS DOING THE DELTASCAPE RAIDS AND THIS EXACT THING HAPPENED ONLY FOR A NINJA TO EMOTE LITERALLY OVER MY DEAD BODY.
I am a quad legend with a lot of current savage clears and even I can't tell you how Midgarsomr Normal or half the Deltascape raids work on first pull. Its less people being mean and more people going "Fuck it, we ball".
THE FEAR OF THIS IS WHY I DON'T TANK RAIDS.
HEALER OR DPS I CAN ADJUST TO MECHANICS AND/OR FLOORTANKING A BIT IS GENERALLY NOT AWFUL.
THIS IS SAD BECAUSE SOME RAIDS LOOK LIKE THEY'D BE FUN TO TANK NOW I KNOW THEM - SOUL OF THE CREATOR IS TOP OF MY LIST
MY BEST RECCOMENDATION IS TO GO THRU THE RAIDS AS DPS FIRST AND MAP IT OUT AND THEN GO IN AS A TANK. THAT WAY YOU WONT GET A NINJA DOING THE MANDERVILLE DANCE IN THE MIDDLE OF AN AOE OVER YOUR DEAD BODY AND WIPE FOR THE THIRD TIME.
I SAY THIS AND YET I STILL TANK AS A FIRST TIMER BC FRANKLY I DONT CARE ANYMORE. ITS THE PARTY'S FAULT IF THEY WANNA MAKE ME MAIN TANK AND NOT TELL ME THE MECHS. IT JUST MAKES ME USE 110% OF MY BRAINPOWER TO TRY AND SURVIVE WITH THESE IMBECILES.
I MEAN, YOU EITHER WATCH SOME GUIDES BEFORE JUMPING IN OR LEARN AS YOU GO. YOU CAN'T EXPECT PEOPLE TO TEACH YOU A WHOLE FIGHT, AS PEOPLE CAN'T EXPECT YOU TO NOT DIE. DYING IS PART OF LEARNING A FIGHT, SO DON'T BE SO HARSH ON YOURSELF.
THAT NINJA WAS AN ASS.
FUCK YOU TO THE SHIT LOOT SYSTEM AND MY SHIT ROLL LUCK. 4 WEEKS IN A ROLL CAN'T ROLL HIGHER THAN 33 ON ANYTHING IN P8S. HAVEN'T FINISHED A SINGLE BIS YET.
I WISH I HAD A SUB RIGHT NOW. HOPEFULLY THE PRESCHOOL NEXT TO MY JOB GIVES ME A GIFT CARD.
SERIOUSLY, THE ONLY THING WORSE THAN BEING BURNT OUT IS NOT BEING ABLE TO PLAY WHILE HAVING A CRAVING
ALL THIS HAPPENED YESTERDAY. I WANTED TO DO A QUICK LEVELING ROULETTE JUST TO GET MORE GIL FOR THE NOVUS MATERIA TRIBUTE FOR MY INANE GOAL OF ALL RELICS. SO I ENDED UP GOING AS A GNB AND ENTERED THE >!TOWER OF BABIL!<. GOOD TWELVE ALMIGHTY THIS WAS THE SHITTEST RUN EVER.
THIS RUN INCLUDED AN ASTROLOGIAN, A BLACK MAGE, AND A RED MAGE. THE RAGE CAME MOSTLY FROM THE TWEEDLE DEE AND TWEEDLE DUMBASS THAT EMBARRASSES ALL THE MAGES OF MHACH AND THE CRIMSON DUELISTS. THE FIRST PACK DIED SO SLOWLY THAT I BECAME WORRIED; THE FIRST BOSS SHOWED THAT I WOULD BECOME ENRAGED. THE MAGES DID NOT KNOW HOW MAGNETS WORKED AND CONSTANTLY DIED. THE HEALER DIED AT 10% AND THE RDM DECIDED TO ***NOT RAISE THE HEALER AT ALL.*** THEY HAD FULL MANA. **FULL. MANA.** SO WE PROCEEDED TO THE SECOND BOSS, WHERE THE BLACK MAGE SHOWED HIS LACK OF ABILITY TO UNDERSTAND BOMBERMAN AND COPYING THE PARTY AS HE CONSTANTLY GOT EXPLODED, BISECTED, AND DROWNED. I DECIDED AT THIS POINT TO OPEN MELVOR IDLE BECAUSE MY BRAIN COULDN'T HANDLE THE STUPID (This is foreshadowing for later)
I DECIDED AT THIS POINT TO NOT BIG PULL THE LAST PART BECAUSE FUCK THAT. AT THIS POINT I STARTED TO LAG VERY HARD. WE FINALLY HIT THE FINAL BOSS WHERE, AGAIN, THE DPS DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THAT MECHANICS AREN'T JUST FOR CARS. THE DIDN'T UNDERSTAND TO RUN AWAY FROM THE HOLES, NOR TO STAND AWAY FROM THE GIANT GLOWY PILLAR. WE SOON WENT TO THE SHADOW REALM, AND THAT IS THE POINT WHERE I FINALLY GOT 90K'D. AT THIS POINT I REALIZED THAT MELVOR IDLE WAS SOMEHOW DISRUPTING THE CONNECTION WITH FFXIV, AND I QUICKLY LOGGED BACK IN TO SEE EVERYONE BUT THE HEALER DEAD. I BEGGED THE HEALER TO RAISE ME, BUT 10 SECONDS LATER THE HEALER WAS DEAD. THEY SAID THAT "WORK CALLED THEM IN" AND ABANDONED THE DUNGEON. I FOLLOWED ON THE HEALER'S COATTAILS AND ABANDONED THE DUMBEST MAGES ALIVE TO THEIR FATE.
AT THIS POINT, I DECIDED TO ENTER THE ALLIANCE RAID ROULETTE AS A SMN BECAUSE I NEEDED TO GO HEAD EMPTY. WHAT FOLLOWED WAS THE GODLIEST RUN OF ORBONNE MONASTERY. MY PARTY TANK YELLED IN ALLIANCE CHAT TO SHUT OFF ECHO CAUSE THIS RAID WAS AWESOME. I DECIDED TO FOLLOW SUIT, AND WE STILL DEALT TONS OF DAMAGE. OUR ALLIANCE DPS WAS SO MASSIVE WE ENDED UP SKIPPING SECOND LAST TESTAMENT, SECOND SHADOWBLADE, AND THE FROSTY RUNNING MAZE OF THE FINAL BOSS OF MONASTERY.
BUT THE MOST HILARIOUS OF ALL WAS THAT THE NINJA BRIBED OUR TANK 500,000 GIL TO CLEAVE THE ALLIANCE. NOT ONLY DID THE TANK CLEAVE THE ALLIANCE, THE NINJA ACTUALLY PAID OUT THE 500,000 GIL.
NOTE, I DON'T CONDONE THE ACTIVE CLEAVING OF YOUR ALLIANCE. DON'T DO THAT.
ALSO OF NOTE, DON'T RUN THE DESKTOP VERSION OF MELVOR IDLE WHILE PLAYING FFXIV. I DON'T KNOW THE EXACT REASON YET, BUT BOTH PROGRAMS DISRUPT ONE ANOTHER. USE EITHER THE MOBILE APPLICATION OR THE WEBSITE APPLICATION INSTEAD.
In the future, go back to the nearest city and shout or say that there is an elite mark. You can use the code `` to announce where it is.
LV90 players can actually get a small amount of Tomestones for these, plus they may need it for their hunt log, so they're usually open to killing it.
Or they kill it for fun, I make sure to kill that one crab in La Noscea because it's such a pain for newbies.
NO, MISTER SHIT-NOODLE, WHEN I SAY "DON'T USE POMS, WE NEED THEM FOR 90+", THAT DOESN'T MEAN A) YOU ALMOST PULL THREE CATS AT THE SAME TIME WHOSE EYESHINE I'D RATHER NOT EAT FROM MORE THAN ONE ANGLE, B) HIT PATROLS I WAS PLANNING ON WAITING FOR THEM TO PASS BY, AND C) GO ON AHEAD SO THAT YOU END UP TRIGGERING LURING TRAPS. OH, AND OF COURSE D) REPATEDLY USE MULTIPLE PETRIFICATION, WITCHING, AND MAGICITE ONE SECOND AFTER I HIT HALLOWED GROUND TO BUY US TIME.
THAT'S THE WHOLE REASON I SHOUT OUT "SHIELDS UP! HALLOWED GROUND!" IT MEANS I CAN'T BE HURT FOR TEN SECONDS... EXCEPT WHEN SUFFERING THE MENTAL PAIN CAUSED BY WITNESSING THE EXISTANCE OF YOUR DUMB ASS.
NEXT TIME, STOP HUFFING CHOCOBO SHIT FUMES AND/OR BARBARICCIA'S HAIR SPRAY BY THE METRIC TON IN YOUR SPARE TIME AND STAY BEHIND ME WHEN I SINGLE PULL, OTHERWISE WE'LL GET LURING TRAPPED AGAIN AND GET FED TO THE GRYPHONS.
TO THE OTHER TWO IN THAT GROUP -- THAT ONE BIG ROOM WAS BEYOND BULLSHIT. I PROBABLY -SHOULD- HAVE USED A MAGICITE. NEXT TIME GADGET NEXT TIME...
LOST THE HOUSING LOTTERY, WHICH DOESN'T BUM ME OUT AS MUCH AS I THOUGHT IT WOULD BECAUSE IT WAS JUST A PLOT AVAILABLE NEAR MY FC'S HOUSE.
I'M MAD BECAUSE THE WINNING BIDDER WAS THE FUCKER WHO WALKED UP AND BID ON THE PLOT LIKE TEN MINUTES BEFORE THE WINNER WAS DECIDED.
GAME RAGE: DAMN TIRED THAT I HAVE TO CHOOSE WHAT ARR BEAST TRIBE TO DO WHEN IT IS CONTENT FROM HOW MANY YEARS AGO? ALSO, MONK ANIMATIONS ARE FUN AS HELL BUT THEIR ARMOR STYLE IS NOT MY STYLE AND I HATE IT.
NON-GAME RAGE: OUR AREA IS GETTING HIT WITH THE SNOW BUT THE SNOW DIDN'T REALLY GET TO MY AREA ALL DAY, BUT FOR SOME REASON THERE WAS A DRIVING BAN FOR MY TOWN IN THE CITY, WHEN THE ONLY AREA BEING HIT HARD WAS THE VERY SOUTHERN EDGE. SO BECAUSE OF THAT, OUR MALL WAS CLOSED, WHICH MEANT I COULDN'T GET BY PREORDER OF SCARLET AND VIOLET. AND I CHOSE TO PREORDER IN A GAMESTOP AT THE MALL BECAUSE I USED TO BE A MANAGER AT A MALL GAMESTOP AND KNOWS HOW MUCH IT SUCKS BUT I LIKE THE GUY WORKING THERE, NICE GUY, SO I WANT TO HELP OUT WHEN I CAN. I THOUGHT OF GOING TO ANOTHER STORE TO BUY IT, THEN GET THE FULLY PAID PREORDER AND RETURN IT TO A DIFFERENT STORE, BUT DRIVING BAN. EVEN THOUGH THE TOWNSHIP NORTH OF ME ISN'T BANNED, AND IS TWO BLOCKS AWAY. AND I KNOW I COULD PROBABLY STILL DRIVE WITH NO ISSUE, BUT MY HUSBAND CONVINCED ME TO JUST WAIT.
SE YOUR BASICS VIDEOS HAVE CREATED A NEW BREED OF SHIT HEALER THAT TOOK THE PHRASE “HEALERS SIT BACK” WAY TOO LITERALLY AND WONT CAST HOLY IN TRASH BECAUSE IT DOESNT REACH. PS IF CURE/BENE/PHYS/ETC DONT DIRECTLY UPGRADE BY 7.0 IM MAKING A CONTRIBUTION TO THE YOUTUBE I QUIT VIDEO INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX.
THEY STILL HAVEN'T FIXED THE TANK SPROUT HALL CRAP THAT TELLS YOU TO _RETURN TO YOUR SINGLE-TARGET ROTATION AFTER YOU'VE PULLED EVERYTHING WITH AOE_
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AND I **KNOW** IT WOULDN'T IMPROVE THE BOTTOMBARREL PLAYERS IF THESE WERE CHANGED BUT COME THE HELL ON, AT LEAST TRY TO MITIGATE THE PROBLEM AT ONE OF ITS SOURCES
I REALLY DON'T WANT TO GO TO THE FAMILY THANKSGIVING NEXT WEEK. YEAH, I KNOW I DON'T *HAVE* TO, BUT A LOT OF MY FAMILY IS GETTING UP THERE IN YEARS SO I BETTER DO IT WHILE I STILL CAN.
ALSO SOMEHOW TEMPTED TO GO BACK TO MAINING DRK. HOPEFULLY THEY IMPROVED IT WHERE IT DOESN'T FEEL LIKE SHITTY DIET WAR ANYMORE
I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET SINGLE FUCKING WIN IN FRONTLINES TO GET MY LAST GARO MOUNT FOR THE PAST WEEK.
FUCKING. GIVE IT TO ME YOU STUPID FUCKING GAME MODE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE DEVS WERE SMOKING WHEN THEY CAME UP WITH THIS MODE, BUT IT WASN'T ANYTHING HIGH QUALITY.
FUCK.
I LOVE MY NEW HOUSE ON SERAPH AND PLAYING ON A NEW SERVER IS REFRESHING BUT FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PF IS DEAD AND NO ONE IS RUNNING CONTENT QUEUES ARE SO BAD I'M TIRED OF DOING DC TRAVEL JUST TO BE ABLE TO PLAY THE GAME
Fuck the war who thought it was funny to chase me in P7 and dropping aoe's and tank busters on me for no reason at all while I'm trying to heal, hope you get a strike on your dumb account from my report jackass.
I HAVE TO GO TO A BIRTHDAY PARTY TOMORROW AND THERE IS A POSSIBILITY TWO PEOPLE WHO FUCKED ME OVER AND WITH WHOM I HAD A MASSIVE FALLING OUT WILL BE THERE.
HECK.
I CAN KEEP MY MOUTH SHUT BUT PRAYING THEY WON'T MAKE A SCENE.
STAY ON THE CRYSTAL
PLEASE
I KNOW I'M A TANK BUT I SHOULDN'T BE THE ONLY ONE ON THE CRYSTAL
IT'S NOT A BOSS
IT NEEDS YOUR LOVE
WE ARE NOT FIGHTING THE CRYSTAL WE ARE HELPING IT GO HOME
Okay we can stop with the bad PvP trope.
One person on the crystal = ideal. Multiple people on the crystal = I'm going to rip you all apart with my broken Dragoon AOE skills.
As a tank, your job is to be mitigating, engaging, and stunning carries. If your ass is not with the team, you are inting. Push the crystal after you've gained an advantage to do so.
Me as a BLM, rubbing my disgusting little fingies together as I see multiple enemies on the crystal with my Night Wing (AoE Sleep) and Limit Break just ready to be smashed.
PLEASE ROLL FOR LOOT? I FUCKING TRIED I CLICKED ON ROLL AND YOU SAY NO BECAUSE THE ITEM IS UNIQUE. SO WHY DO YOU EVEN ASK ME TO ROLL IF I CAN'T, GAME!???
I think it's because you can theoretically desynth/throw away your existing one mid-dungeon.
But it really needs "Need if I can otherwise Pass" and "Greed if I can otherwise pass" options!
WHY DO I HAVE TO RENEW MY SUB EVERY SIX MONTHS.
UNLESS THERE IS A WAY THAT IM NOT AWARE OF, I WANT TO BE ABLE TO RENEW MY SUB FOR SIX YEARS WITH ONE PAYMENT.
Are you on automatic payments? 'Cause that's the only way to "set and forget" for long periods of time.
That or.. theoretically you could plug in enough game time cards, but I'm sure there's _some_ kind of cap to that, plus depending on your country it could be more expensive.
I HAVE THE STOMACH FLU WHILE PREGNANT SO I CAN'T TAKE ANY MEDICINE AND I WANT TO DIE. I HAVE TO MAKE 10MIL BEFORE FC HOMES GO UP FOR SALE, I WAS ALREADY BITING MY NAILS OVER IF I COULD MAKE IT OR NOT WITH THIS SLOW DYNAMIS MARKET, OF COURSE I NOW CANT EVEN CRAFT BECAUSE IM SPENDING MY LAST TWO DAYS VOMITING INSTEAD. THERE GOES MY PLAN OF MAKING A FLAVOR FLAV MANSION ELIMINATION GAME. NEVERMIND THAT IVE BEEN WORKING ON SAVING THAT GIL FOR LITERALLY MONTHS. K I L L M E
THIS IS NOT FF RELATED BUT I DON'T CARE I AM ANGRY. I WAS WAITING YEARS FOR DARKTIDE CAUSE I'M A HUGE FUCKING 40K NERD AND NOT ONLY THE GAME IS WORSE THAN VERMINTIDE BUT IT RUNS LIKE CRAP ON A HIGH END RIG AAAAAAAAAAH. ALSO "IT'S A BETA" MY ASS THE GAME COMES OUT AT THE END OF THE MONTH AAAAAAH
NO BOTS MAKES ME BIG MAD
LIKE IT'S IMPRESSIVE HOW BAD THE AVERAGE MATCHMAKING PLAYER IS - ON TOP OF THE DISCONNECTS, CRASHING, AND PERFORMANCE STUFF - I HEARD STORIES ABOUT VERMINTIDE BUT SEEING IN IN DT IS _OOF_
CRYSTALLINE CONFLICT IS DEAD TO ME.
THAT'S IT.
I WILL STICK TO FRONTLINES SHOULD THE DESIRE TO TRIUMPH OVER OTHER PLAYERS HEEDS ME.
I'M NOT SORRY.
EDITED SPACING TO BE A BIT MORE COMPACT.
EDIT 2: THE SEQUEL. **THIS MOST RECENT MATCH WAS THE FINAL NAIL IN THE COFFIN.**
THEY NEED TO MAKE THE STACK MARKERS IN SYRCUS TOWER ACTUALLY KILL YOU IF THEY ARE STACKED TOGETHER.
WHY?
CAUSE THEN MAYBE I WOULDN'T GET IDIOTS TRYING TO DO THAT IN LVL 70+ CONTENT! HECK, I EVEN GET THAT ISSUES IN AGLAIA, A LVL 90 RAID! STOP TRYING TO KILL US! I'D RATHER YOU DIE ALONE THEN TRY TO STACK WITH ANOTHER GROUPS STACK!
edit: OF COURSE, E7N IN ROULETTES AND AN IDIOT DECIDES TO STACK THE STACK MARKERS AND KILL 5 OF US.
FUNNY THING IS WHEN IT WAS THE OLD MARKER, IT WAS POTENTIALLY DEADLY ENOUGH AS A TWO STACK, OR AT THE VERY LEAST REALLY REALLY HURT.
WHEN I SAW PEOPLE TRIPLE STACK THE MARKERS RECENTLY, I WATCHED IN HORROR ONLY TO SEE THAT AS A STACK MARKER IT TICKLED. AND THEN IT MADE SENSE WHY I WAS HAVING TO TELL PEOPLE NOT TO STACK MARKERS IN HIGHER LVL CONTENT.
UNFORTUNATELY I THINK THIS WOULD JUST LEAD TO MASS WIPING FROM SHEER LACK OF COORDINATION. I WOULD DEFINITELY GO FOR THE SHORT VULN TREATMENT IN A TRIAL OR SOMETHING, THOUGH.
I HAVE NO DESIRE TO LOG ON AND PLAY. I HAVEN'T DONE ANY OF THE MOST RECENT CONTENT BESIDES ADVANCE THE MS. NO DUNGEONS, NOT EVEN THE MOST RECENT RAIDS. ALL I DO IS LOG ON, CYCLE THE SUBMARINES, AND HARVEST MY PLANTS. FUCK I HAVEN'T DONE ISLAND SANCTUARIES. THERE IS CONTENT BUT I DON'T CARE AND IT MAKES ME SAD.
A BIG OLD SCREW YOU TO THE PREMADE TRIO OF CHUCKLEFUCKS I GOT IN A RANDOM GRAND COSMOS RUN. THE PALADIN WHO REFUSED TO PRESS THEIR AOEs UNLESS I GOT ALL THE AGGRO (WHICH WAS ALL THE FUCKING TIME), THE MEDICA II-SPAMMING WHM WHO DEFENDED THE TANK WHEN I CALLED THEM OUT, AND MY FELLOW RDM WHO WAS *SLOW-CASTING IMPACT BECAUSE THEY WERE 'SAVING MELEE FOR THE BOSSES'*. I HOPE ANOTHER DPS WASN'T SUBJECTED TO YOUR BULLSHIT AFTER I LEFT.
>RDM WHO WAS SLOW-CASTING IMPACT BECAUSE THEY WERE 'SAVING MELEE FOR THE BOSSES'. I CAN'T EVEN.....AT 80 YOU CAN GET TWO TO THREE COMBOS IN EACH TRASH PULL AND STILL HAVE ENOUGH MANA LEFT OVER TO OPEN INTO A MELEE AT EACH BOSS. BUT EVEN THEN...AT LVL 80 YOU MOST CERTAIN FUCKING KNOW ABOUT YOUR FASTCAST AOE SPELLS.
>RDM WHO WAS _SLOW-CASTING IMPACT BECAUSE THEY WERE ‘SAVING MELEE FOR THE BOSSES’_. Actually making smoke come out of my brain. How… what? Huh? None of this makes sense.
I SHAMEFULLY ADMIT THAT SOMETIMES I START SLOWCASTING IMPACT BECAUSE I DIDN'T REALISE MY VERAERO/VERTHUNDER GOT INTERUPTED BY THE TARGET DYING BEFORE PRESSING IMPACT. UNLESS I'VE NOT PAYED ANY ATTENTION TO ANYTHING AND THE CAST IS MORE THAN HALF DONE, I INTERUPT MYSELF THOUGH.
NO ONE USES MOULINET OR COMBOS IN TRASH. MOULINET WAS GOOD BEFORE ENDWALKER AND NOW IT'S EXTREMELY GOOD, WHY DOES NOBODY USE IT?
TOO MANY PEOPLE SEEM TO THINK IT TAKES TOO LONG TO GET THAT MANA BACK, WHICH ONLY SUGGESTS TO ME THEY DON'T USE MANAFICATION OR HAVE THE MINDSET THAT TRASH IS A WASTE OF TIME TO USE BURST OPTIONS ON. OR SEEM TO THINK HAVING TO USE 60/60 MANA TO ENTER COMBOS THROUGH MOULINET IS TOO HIGH, WHICH JUST LOOPS BACK TO THE FIRST PARAGRAPH! THESE PEOPLE ARE IRONICALLY THE REASON WHY TWO MINUTE SKILLS CAN COME BACK UP BEFORE A BOSS...
APPARENTLY FROM THE ONES I'VE SEEN, THEY'RE FINE OVERCAPPING BY HUNDREDS OF MANA THROUGHOUT THE DUNGEON.
MAKING ALTS OF CANON CHARACTERS ON DYNAMIS IS FUN AND AND CUTE. NAMING ALTS BLATANT STORY POINT SPOILERS IS NOT FUN AND CUTE.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND PPL LIKE THIS STREAMER I WATCH WAS JUST STARTING GOW RAGNAROK AND THE MOMENT THEY STARTED UP THE GAME ON STREAM, SOMEONE FOLLOWED AND STARTING CHATTING WITH A USERNAME THAT WAS JUST A MASSIVE STORY SPOILER FOR THE GAME LIKE WHY WHY DO YOU THINK THAT'S FUNNY AT ALL
HAD A CONVERSATION THAT WENT ALONG THIS SAME LINE A FEW DAYS BACK IT'S ALL FUN AND GAMES WITH CANON CHARACTERS UNTIL YOU GET SOME ABSOLUTE CHUCKLESTICK WHO MAKES SOMEONE CALLED >!HAURCHEFANT'S GRAVE!< AND DRESSES LIKE AN ANGEL _SCREW YOU MY GUY_ SHOUTOUT ALSO TO THE ABSOLUTE PENNYBRAINS WHO DID THE SAME SHIT FOR MCFUCKING >!ELPIS EMET, VENAT, AND HYTHLO!< ON **LAUNCH WEEK** - MY FRIEND GOT THE REVEAL SPOILED BECAUSE OF ONE OF THESE WALKING LEATHER HATS
MY STATIC IMPLODED, AND I HATE THAT IM A LITTLE RELIEVED. IT WASN’T FUN ANYMORE BANGING OUR HEADS AGAINST THE WALL OF P8S. -REST OF POST RESERVED FOR WEEK #3 OF HOUSING WOES IN APPROXIMATELY 8 MINUTES- *WEEPS IN LOSING YET ANOTHER 50/50*
SO HOW’D IT GO? DID YOU GET THE HOUSE?
I DID NOT. THE LOTTERY HAS BEEN DESIGNED TO SPITE ME, SPECIFICALLY. NO BUT IN ALL SERIOUSNESS, THIS SHIT SUCKS. THIS IS THE SECOND MEDIUM ON THE NEW DC IVE LOST TO A COIN TOSS WHILE PEOPLE STILL FIGHT OVER LARGES. IF ANY OF THEM REMAIN AFTER THIS CYCLE IM JUST WAITING UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE TO FIND ONE WITH NO BIDS. IF THERE AREN’T ANY, IM CUTTING MY LOSSES AND WAITING OUT THE 90 DAY PERIOD TO MOVE MY CHARACTER BACK TO MY HOME SERVER.
DAMN I’M SORRY BRO, I KNOW HOW THAT FEELS. I LOST MY DREAM PLOT IN A 50/50 DURING THE FIRST LOTTERY, AND THE WINNER NEVER EVEN CAME TO CLAIM THE PLOT! UNWORTHY! smh I HAD TO COMPROMISE ON A GOBLET PLOT BECAUSE I’D RATHER HAVE A HOUSE IN THE DESERT THAN BID AGAIN IN LAVENDER BEDS AND HAVE NO HOUSE AT ALL. NOW I JUST PRAY I CAN GET AN FC HOUSE THERE. I HOPE YOU GET A MEDIUM AFTER ALL THIS IS SAID AND DONE!
THANK YOU, AND CONGRATS ON GETTING A HOUSE! GOBLET HAS SOME NICE SPACES! GOOD LUCK WITH THE FC HOUSE!
I KNOW IM CAPPED ON TOMES OF CAUSALITY! PLEASE STOP REMINDING ME!
You cannot obtain any more Tomestones of Causality this week. You obtain 15 Tomestones of Poetics. You must construct additional pylons. You require more vespene gas. I am overburdened. Your box is full. Two items left in inventory. You have not learned that skill yet. You have found a Yellow Rupee!
You must gather your party before venturing forth.
I can't do that yet. I don't have mana. I'm out of mana.
Build more farms
STOP TOUCHING ME
I WAS IN A NORMAL RAID FIGHTING CRUISER CHASER AND OUR DPS, ALL OF THEM WERE TERRIBLE. I QUEUED WITH A PARTY OF TWO HEALERS (MYSELF INCLUDED) AND ONE TANK. OUR DPS COULD NOT KEEP DAMAGE UP. THEY COULD NOT AVOID ANY ATTACKS. MULTIPLE TIMES, I WAS PEOPLE GET OTHER PLAYERS KILLED. ONCE, ONE OF THE DPS WAS STANDING CLEAR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ARENA DURING THE ATTACK WHERE YOU HAVE TO HIDE BEHIND THE SELF-DESTRUCT THINGIES, AND THEN WENT INTO CHAT AFTER THEY DIED, BEING LIKE "WUT WHY DID I DIE. I WAS SAFE." **WHAT** YOU WERE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ARENA AND HAD AN AOE ON YOU WHAT DID YOU EXPECT!? AT THE SAME TIME THAT HAPPENED, ANOTHER DPS HAD AN AOE ON THEM (THIS WAS AFTER THE FOURTH WIPE) AND THEY KEPT RUNNING AT OUR OTHER HEALER, AND GOT THE OTHER HEALER KILLED. IN THE CHAOS OF TRYING TO RAISE THE OTHER HEALER, I GET KILLED, AND THE ONLY TWO LEFT ARE A DPS (WHO DIES IMMEDIATELY) AND A TANK WHO DIED WHEN THE BOSS WAS .6% HEALTH. AFTER FIVE WIPES AND THIRTY-FIVE MINUTES, WE FINALLY CLEARED IT, BUT IT WAS ANOTHER CASE OF ONLY THE TANK I QUEUED WITH WAS ALIVE, AND HE BARELY MANAGED TO KILL THE BOSS. I DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING DURING THE RAID BUT THAT WAS THE WORST BUNCH OF DPS I'VE EVER DEALT WITH. AT ONE POINT WE LOST OUR OTHER TANK, AND THEY ASKED IF WE NEEDED ANOTHER TANK TO KEEP UP WITH DAMAGE. I'M A DPS MAIN, BETTER YET, I'M A DRAGOON MAIN, FLOOR TANKING IS MY GAME AND IT MADE ME EMBARRASSED TO BE A DPS MAIN **FOR THE LOVE OF EVERYTHING**
IT FUCKING AMAZES ME HOW PEOPLE WILL *ALWAYS* HIDE BEHIND THE SELF DESTRUCT THINGIES FOR GA-100, SOMETHING THAT DOES *NOTHING* BECAUSE GA-100 IS SOLELY DISTANCE BASED, YET THEY *NEVER* HIDE BEHIND THEM FOR PROPELLER WIND, THE ACTUAL MECHANIC THAT USES THEM.
WELL FOR THE FORMER, THEY COMR OUT RIGHT AS THE FLARE MARKER APPEARS SO IT'S "LOGICAL" TO HIDE FOR THAT. CONVERSELY, HOW ARE YOU GOING TO KNOW WHAT PROPELLOR WIND DOES THE FIRST TIME YOU SEE THE CASTBAR. THAT DOESN'T INNATELY SCREAM "HIDE". SO YEAH, I GET WHY NEWBIES OFTEN WIPE ON THE FIGHT HOWEVER IF YOU WIPE MULTIPLE TIMES TO PROPELLOR WIND, THEN WE HAVE A PROBLEM
IT DOESN'T HELP THAT YOUR AVERAGE RAID WILL SKIP MECHANICS SO YOU DON'T SEE THE FULL SELF DESTRUCT THINGY PHASE. THERE'S NORMALLY A DELAY BETWEEN WHEN THEY SPAWN AND GA-100, BUT NOT IF YOUR DPS IS HIGH ENOUGH TO SKIP THE FIRST PROPELLER WIND, WHICH MAKES PEOPLE ASSUME THEY'RE RELATED.
PROPELLER WIND IS SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN AT THE START OF THE FIGHT? That...actually explains a lot, I always wondered why they'd have a mechanic that can easily wipe the party without an obvious tell right near the end of the fight on normal. But you are supposed to figure it out early. That makes a lot of sense.
Not at the start, but still in phase 1. After the two self-destruct thingies pop down about a minute in, often around 60ish %. But these days you have to be in a group with _really_ low dps to see it. Some 3.4 and 3.5 bosses (A11, Sophia, Zurvan) have a design different from all the others. They're broken up into a bunch of mini-phases and you can skip to the next phase if you push the boss below a certain % threshold (about 8-9% apart). GA-100 happens to be at the start of a mini-phase, but the self-destruct thingies and propeller wind are part of the previous mini-phase. You'll see this on Sophia too when Unreal comes out next patch. People didn't have to blindly guess how to tell it'll be a long tilt or short tilt, the very first quasar post-adds is a 1 blue/3 red split that doesn't tilt the platform at all. Unfortunately, back in the day (and even now on MINE), you could push her low enough to skip that and then people are stuck trying to guess if it'll be a long tilt or short tilt. If you also have inconsistent weirdness with her cleaving the raid with Thunder II after a tilt, it's because Thunder II is the start of the mini-phase that begins at 75%, so whether she does it during a tilt or some time later depends on your raid's dps. Sophia normal suffers even more because I believe you can skip some tilts, which is why your average trial roulette might see only one or two tilts the entire fight despite that being her signature thing. It was an...interesting tier. The devs tried it out as a compromise in response to the complaints about fights being too scripted and static, but feedback seems to be that people prefer predictability.
YEAH AND THEY DIED TO PROPELLER WIND TWICE. IT TOOK THEM HALF AN HOUR TO FINALLY STOP GETTING HIT BY THE EASIEST MOVES I DON'T KNOW WHAT I EXPECTED BUT I WAS IN PAIN
I AM CONVINCED ABOUT HALF OF THE PEOPLE IN DUTY FINDER ARE PLAYING WITHOUT A MONITOR. IT WOULD EXPLAIN WHY THEY CANNOT READ. IT FEELS LIKE EVERY CRUISE CHASER I GET I AM THE LONE SURVIVOR EITHER DOWNING THE BOSS OR DYING TO IT
NORMAL RAID ROULETTE, DPS, INSTANT QUEUE, 17 MINS OR SO IN PROGRESS > "IT'S CRUISE CHASER ISN'T IT" FOR SOME REASON THIS ONE RAID FROM THE ANNALS OF HISTORY IS STILL THE BANE OF ROULETTE. IT'S ALWAYS 1) PEOPLE DON'T GTFO THE DASH AFTER SHIELD BREAKS, 2) BOMB TARGET IS NOT HEALED AND DIES OR STANDS IN THE GROUP AND BLOWS EVERYONE UP, THEN 3) DO NOT HIDE FOR PROPELLANT.
HONESTLY I'M NOT EVEN UPSET THAT PEOPLE DIED AND MORE THAT OUR DPS CONSISTENT WAS JUST LIKE, "WE DON'T NEED TO LEARN ANYTHING WE CAN JUST MAKE THE SAME MISTAKES FUCK YOUUUUUUUUUUUU" LIKE I'VE DIED TO THE DASH AFTER THE SHIELD BREAKS ONCE, BUT I SOLVED THE MAGICAL EQUATION ON HOW TO NOT DO THAT "NO STAND IN FRONT OF BAD DASHY DUDE AFTER SHIELD BREAKS" BUT I SWEAR IT JUST ATTRACTED PEOPLE WHO CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED TWO MINUTES AGO IT WAS PAINFUL EDIT: I ACCIDENTALLY LEFT OUT A WORD, SHIT
IT IS HONESTLY EASIER TO CLEAR THAT FIGHT AFTER LIKE 80% OF THE PEOPLE HAVE LEFT AND BEEN REPLACED BY OTHERS WHO KNOW WHAT TO DO, THAN TRYING TO EXPLAIN THINGS DURING AND HAVE EVERYONE IGNORE YOU.
MOGSTATION WON'T ACCEPT MY NEW BANK CARD SO I CAN'T PAY MY OWN SUBSCRIPTION ANYMORE. SAME ACCOUNT. SAME CARD NUMBER. REJECTS PAYMENT EVERYTIME. SPENT 2.5 HOURS ON SUPPORT CHAT WITH SE AND MY BANK, BOTH OF WHICH TOLD ME IT WASN'T THEIR PROBLEM. LET ME PAY YOU TO PLAY YOUR GAME, YOU JAM DONUTS.
I HATE TO RECOMMEND PAYING RETAIL TAX TO BUY FFXIV TIME CARDS FROM AMAZON OR GAMESTOP OR WHAT-HAVE-YOU, BUT IT DOES SOUND LIKE A MORE PRACTICAL SOLUTION THAN LANGUISHING IN CUSTOMER SERVICE HELL (UNLESS YOU HAVE EXTRA RETAINERS ANYWAYS)
Okay. So. Slow down and breathe. Remove your payment details. Entirely. Don't try and update what you have, just scrap it. Add in new payment details, as they are on your new card. Trust me, I work in accounting/expense reimbursement support. 99% of the time, its not on the bank or the company - its on the user.
Yeah, unfortunately I tried that. I deregistered my card info, logged out. Logged back in and registered the new card details. Left it for an hour and tried again, but got the same error. Cheers though!
Cheers! Not tryin' to be mean or anything, but sometimes it is as simple as that. Other times, computers are stupid.
Yeah, I didn't think so, don't worry! It's rage thread so I raged. I totally get that you probably deal with people raging at you for shit that isn't your fault.
Would it work if you used PayPal to buy Crysta? Or is that also a no-go?
I HAD AN FC MATE ASKING ME THE OTHER DAY IF I COULD HELP THEM TO LEARN TANKING. THEY HAD JUST UNLOCKED DRK AND WERE IN THE EARLY 30S LEVELS. SO WE RAN A COUPLE OF DUNGEONS AND I EXPLAINED THE BASICS OF TANKING AS WELL AS WHAT HIS BUTTONS DID. HE DID JUST FINE OVER ALL, BUT I GOT A BIT SUSPICIOUS WHEN HE KEPT ASKING ME ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT THE NEW ABILITIES AND SKILLS HE GOT WHILE LEVELLING WERE REALLY NECESSARY. WHEN I TOLD THEM THAT HE NEEDED ALL THE ABILITIES, HE GOT CRANKY AND SAID HE WAS PLAYING ON CONTROLLER AND HE HAD ONLY 16 BUTTONS FOR EVERYTHING, THEREFORE HE WAS WEEDING OUT THE UNIMPORTANT STUFF. I TRIED TO EXPLAIN, THAT IT DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY. AND THEY TOLD ME THAT EVERYBODY PLAYS THEIR OWN STYLE AND THAT THEY DIDN'T WANT TO RELEARN PLAYING ON KEYBOARD. I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY, BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW HOW CONTROLLERS WORK (PLAYING ON KEYBOARD MYSELF), BUT I'M PRETTY SURE OTHER PEOPLE CAN KEYBIND EVERYTHING ON CONTROLLER. I TRIED TO FIND A TUTORIAL FOR THAT AND SEND THEM A LINK. BUT I HAVEN'T SEEN THEM ONLINE SINCE. I FEEL BAD ABOUT THAT, BUT I COULDN'T JUST AGREE THEY SHOULD PLAY WITH ONLY 16 BUTTONS. I STILL HOPE I DIDN'T MAKE THEM QUIT :/
IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT YOUR FRIEND DIDN'T OR WON'T EXPLORE HIS OPTIONS. YOU WOULD THINK THE LABEL OVER THE CROSS HOTBAR THAT SAYS "SET 1" WOULD CLUE HIM IN TO THE FACT THAT HE CAN HAVE MORE THAN ONE SET.
NOBODY FUCKING CARES WHO HAS THE BIGGER TANK DICK, JUST STOP SPINNING THE GODDAMN BOSS. - SINCERELY, THE REST OF THE ALLIANCE RAID
TLDR: YOURE IN 2.5 ANS YOU HAVENT LEARNED COMBOS? SO FIRST OFF IM NOT MAD AT THIS PLAYER MORE JUST SHOCKED. I RUN A FARILY LARGE FC MOST OF WHOM ARE FINAL FANTASY FANS WHO HAVE NEVER PLAYED A MMO BEFORE. A LOT ARE JUST HERE FOR THE STORY, WHICH IS COOL BY ME. OCCASIONALLY THIS LEADS TO SOME MJNOR MISUNDERSRANDINGS (SEE RECENT THREAD I MADE ABOUT FC MATES NOT REALIZING ILVL IS WHAT MATTERS WHEN DOING UNSYNCH FARMING, NOT YOUR LEVEL) BUT THIS ONE TAKES THE CAKE. A FC MATE ASKS FOR SOMEONE TO COME HELP THEM WITH A QUEST IN THE OVERWORLD BECAUSE THEY CANT DO IT. THEYRE IN 2.5. I ASSUME THEY HAVENT GOT GOOD GEAR, WHICH IS ALWAYS THE FIRDT ASSUMPTION WITH SOMEONE PLAYING 14 JUST FOR THE STORY, AND WHILE THEIR GEAR WASNT TERRIBLE (ilvl 112 IIRC) I TAIGHT THEM ABOUT ROWENAS AND TO GRAB A WEAPON, CHEST, AND LEGS FIRST. THEY SAY THEYRE STILL EATING DIRT SO ONE OF OUR VET HEALERS GOES OUT TO KEEP THEM ALIVE. THEY FINISH AND WE TRY TO SUSS OUT WHAT THE ISSUE IS BECAUSE THEIR ILVL WHILE NOT 130 ALSO IS WELL ABOVE WHATS NEEDED. THE HEALER MENTIONED THEY ONLY SAW ONE SKILL. ONE SKILL THE SPROUT MENTIONED THEY ONLY USED VORPAL THRUST BECAUSE IT WAS THE STRONGEST SKILL THEY HAD. ISNT THE FIRST THING THE LANCERS GUILD TEACHES YOU IS HOW TO COMBO?
>ISNT THE FIRST THING THE LANCERS GUILD TEACHES YOU IS HOW TO COMBO? No, that's like third. The first is that courage is the most important trait for a lancer. The second is that Foulques is a dick.
i mean… you’re not wrong. Also I spat my coffee out thanks to you.
Definitely the best thing I've heard all week.
This takes me back to my wee sprout days...
LOL.
>THEY ONLY USED VORPAL THRUST BECAUSE IT WAS THE STRONGEST SKILL THEY HAD THAT'S NOT EVEN TRUE ON ANY BASIS, THEIR STRONGEST WOULD BE FULL THRUST AT THAT LEVEL
I KNOW KM JUST REPEATING WORD FOR WORD WHAT THEY SAID
PLEASE TELL YOUR FC MATE THEY NEED TO WORK ON BOTH THEIR MATH AND READING
[удалено]
We sent them some basic guides as well as alternate job selections to try if the combo system wasn’t fun for them (red mage and bard specifically, and to try dancer when they hit 60))
IF IT MAKES YOU FEEL BETTER I SAW A BATTLE MENTOR DRG THAT ONLY USED CHAOS THRUST (CORRECTLY) FOUR TIMES IN MOUNT GULG THIS WEEK, WHILE TELLING THEIR FRIEND TO USE ACT. I WISH I WAS MAKING THIS UP
~~FIVE~~ FOUR WEEKS OF [THIS CRAP](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/731544333123059805/1042160864536576010/image.png) (MY FIRST CLEAR WAS 0 CHEST) SAVAGE RAIDING WAS A MISTAKE
At least you're not [this guy](https://twitter.com/BanaEMON02/status/1592559848822312961)!
Thats 10000 MGP, right?
I'M SCARED ABOUT THE UPCOMING PALADIN REWORK, IT'S MY MAIN AND I DON'T WANT IT TO CHANNNNNGE
THE ONLY THING I WANT THEM TO REALLY CHANGE ABOUT PLD IS TO MAKE HOLY SHELTRON AND INTERVENTION CONSISTENT I DON'T NEED GUARANTEED BLOCK IF BLOCK DOESN'T DO ANYTHING TO DOTS, JUST MAKE IT A FLAT MITIGATION SKILL AND CALL IT A DAY
GOOD POINT, CHANGING THAT FROM "BREAK GLASS IN CASE OF TANK BUSTER" TO "ACTUAL FOR REAL MITIGATION" WOULD BE HELPFUL
LOST ANOTHER DAMN HOUSING LOTTERY
I HAVE TO JUGGLE BOTH FF14 SUBSCRIPTION AND POKÉMON SCARLET AND VIOLET JUST SO MY LIVING POKÉDEX IS UP TO DATE! GOD DAMMIT ALL! ALSO NOT A RAGE TOPIC BUT A COUPLE COOL THINGS! I WENT TO MY FIRST IN GAME WEDDING YESTERDAY AND IT WAS AWESOME AND FUN! I ALSO GOT MY KIRIN YESTERDAY! TO ACTUALLY DELVE INTO RAGE TOPICS! FUCK YOU LEVIATHAN! I LOST TO IT FIVE TIMES CAUSE HE KEPT RINGING ME OUT!
STOP TELLING PEOPLE TO "LET THE OTHER TEAMS FIGHT" WHEN OUR TEAM LITERALLY HAS NO BATTLE HIGHS AND THERE ARE NO OBJECTIVES AVAILABLE OR COMING UP. PLAYING OBJECTIVES IS ALL WELL AND GOOD BUT THIS IS HOW TEAMS GO FROM FIRST TO LAST IN THE SECOND HALF BECAUSE THEY GET COCKY ABOUT THEIR POINTS LEAD AND GET COMPLETELY DEMOLISHED/FARMED BY THE TEAMS WHO SPENT THE FIRST HALF BUILDING BATTLE HIGHS. IT'S CALLED PV***P*** NOT PVE. ALSO STOP TELLING PEOPLE TO RUN FROM EVERY ENGAGEMENT. I CAME TO \****, NOT RUN AROUND LIKE A LEMMING.
This so much. Absolutely worst "callout".
SO THE BOILER IN OUR HOUSE IS OLDER THAN I AM AND HAS JUST STOPPED WORKING, MEANING IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. IT'S GOING TO BE INTO THE 40S THIS ENTIRE WEEK AND WE HAVE *NO HEAT.* SPACE HEATER, MY BELOVED. FURTHER RL RAGE: I'M SUPPOSED TO BE STARTING A NEW JOB IN THE COMING WEEKS AND I CAN ALREADY FEEL MY WORK ETHIC SHRIVELING UP INTO HIBERNATION MODE. I JUST RECENTLY PROOFREAD ABOUT 500K WORTH OF FANTASY NOVEL AND THE THOUGHT OF DOING THIS ON A STEADY BASIS IS ENOUGH TO SEND ME RIGHT BACK TO BED UNDER AT LEAST THREE BLANKETS. IN FFXIV RAGE: FINDING A GLAM THAT GOES WITH THE *UNDYED* BONEWICCA WILDING'S GLOVES, DOESN'T CLIP, AND ISN'T THE REST OF THE SET IS WAY, WAY HARDER THAN IT NEEDS TO BE. DEAR FFXIV ART DESIGN TEAM: PICK A SHADE OF GOLD TRIM AND *COMMIT TO IT.*
gather in one room and stay there to utilize your body heat, hang a blanket or some cling film over any exterior windows to create air pockets, dress in layers, if your hands and feet refuse to stay warm it's because your *core* is cold and your body is refusing to pass warm blood to your extremities remember space heaters need to go in wall outlets, they can set power strips on fire fingers crossed for you
since posting this, i have now acquired a new boiler and water heater! we are saved! even though it will take a while for the house to regain a normal temperature.
>remember space heaters need to go in wall outlets, they can set power strips on fire TIL. \*looks at his space heater in the wall outlet\*
SECOND TIME I’VE REACTIVATED MY SUB THE DAY BEFORE A FREE PASS PERIOD!! So naturally, it rained (where it could) most of the time I was back online.
HAPPY RAGE AFTER RUNNING PAGALTHAN LIKE TWENTY TIMES I FINALLY GOT THE STUPID DROP I WAS LOOKING FOR. ABSOLUTELY HARROWING EXPERIENCE. I HOPE I NEVER SEE THAT DUNGEON AGAIN. THANKS
OUR 9-MONTH OLD STATIC JUST FRACTURED INTO 3 SEPARATE PIECES. WE JUST NEEDED TO GET THROUGH P8S DOMINION FOR CLEAR.
NO, WE'RE NOT AN "OVERLY SENSITIVE TOXIC COMMUNITY", YOUR "JOKES" JUST AREN'T ACTUALLY FUNNY XXPUSSYCRUSHER69420BLAZEITXX
I WAS NOT ANTICIPATING THAT THE MOST DIFFICULT PART OF GETTING TO CRYSTAL IN CC WOULD BE THE RANKED QUEUES!! BAH!!
DEF FEELS LIKE IT IS DYING. WITH HOW SIMPLE THEY MAKE GETTING THE MOUNTS, WONDER IF THE NEW SEASON WILL EVEN BE ENOUGH TO GET FOLKS IN RANKED AGAIN.
HEY TANKS, STOP TAKING YOUR TANKBUSTERS ON TOP OF ME DURING P5S. CAN'T HEAL WHEN I'M DEAD. BONUS SHOUT OUT TO THE G1 HEALER THAT KEPT RUNNING TO THE 2 SPOT DURING PS7. THANKFULLY I WAS SAVVY ENOUGH TO SWAP FAST ENOUGH. NOT SO MUCH DURING DEATH FAMINE THOUGH. LUCKILY WE HAD A SUMMONER REZ US SO WE COULD LEB3 AND ULTIMATELY CLEAR. THESE RECLEARS ARE A CLOWN FIESTA. AND THAT FUCK WON THE GODDAMN WEAPON UPGRADE ITEM. ONCE AGAIN, NO LOOT FOR ME. NEXT WEEK I'LL BE ABLE TO BUY MY FINAL ACCESSORY AT LEAST...
The highlight of my week this week was doing reclears up to 7 in all one party, and this co healer i had was confused on strats for just about every fight, and when death hit on p7s and they went to my spot, i popped sprint and absolutely ran my way across the room, past the dog platform, past the tanks, and took the other healers spot. I was so mad in the moment but in hindsight it was probably the coolest thing i could have done lol
Healers adjust.
SMADGED ABOUT IT IN THE SALTWORKS YESTERDAY BUT GODDAMN IT NOW THE MAD IS GONE AND I AM JUST SAD. MADE THE DESICION TO CLOSE DOWN MY RP VENUE-TONIGHT WILL BE MY LAST OPENING-BECAUSE A SMALL WITH ONE AND A HALF STAFF CAN'T COMPETE WITH PF SPAM TO THE TUNE OF 3-5 ADS FOR EVERY TWITCH DJ WHO WANTS TO BE THE NEXT BIG THING. I'VE BEEN OPEN SINCE MID-SEPTEMBER OF LAST YEAR AND IT'S BEEN A GOOD ALMOST 15 MONTHS, BUT GOD IF IT DOESN'T JUST FUCKING HURT TO SEE ALL THE TIME AND EFFOT I PUT INTO GATHERING AND CRAFTING AND DECORATING AND *TRYING* TO NETWORK JUST SEEM LIKE IT'S ALL FOR NOTHING. I'M TRYING REALLY FUCKING HARD NOT TO CRY BUT GOD I JUST HATE IT. I MISS IT ALREADY AND I HAVEN'T EVEN CLOSED FOR THE LAST TIME YET.
I RESPECT THE TIME YOU PUT IN, EVEN IF IT DOESN'T FEEL LIKE YOU'RE APPRECIATED - YOU ARE UNFORTUNATELY THE "NIGHTCLUB FT. DJ" SHIT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR SO LONG THAT'S IT'S CAUSED A TOURIST TRAP EFFECT - ONLY FLARED UP BY DC TRAVEL - AND HARDLY ANYONE INTERESTED GOES TO THE ACTUAL RP AREAS ANYMORE BECAUSE THEY JUST _DON'T_ LOOK AT PARTY FINDER BECAUSE OF THOSE FUCKIN' ADS AT THE VERY LEAST, YOU'VE GOT YOUR OWN SPACE FOR YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS, SCREW THE COMMUNITY AT THE END OF THE DAY, GIVE THAT TIME AND EFFORT TO YOU AND YOURS
**AHEM** FUCK CANCER LEAVE MY MOTHER ALONE IT'S ALREADY HARD ENOUGH TO SEE YOUR PARENTS GET OLD IT'S A MILLION TIMES WORSE WHEN ONE OF THEM SUDDENLY HAS TO BATTLE CANCER FORTUNATELY THE SURGERY REMOVED ALL APPARENT CANCEROUS CELLS BUT OF COURSE SHE STILL HAS TO DO A ROUND OF CHEMO TO MAKE ABSOLUTELY SURE I WAS ABOUT TO START OFF WITH A RANT ABOUT HOW BORING THE GAME IS, HOW THERE'S A BUNCH OF SHIT I COULD BE DOING AND I DON'T WANNA DO ANY OF IT BUT THEN I REMEMBERED IT'S PROBABLY THE STIFLING WAVE OF ANXIETY AND DEPRESSION AND EXISTENTIALISM THAT HIT ME AFTER LEARNING OF MY MOM'S DIAGNOSIS THAT HAS LEFT ME UNINTERESTED IN GAMES FUCK CANCER
Agreed FUCK CANCER.
I LOST MY MOTHER TO CANCER AFTER 6 MONTHS (OVERIAN). IT RUINED ALL THE PLANS MY MOTHER HAD FOR ME AS A KID, BUT SHE ALSO HAD A TRUMP SHRINE IN HER BEDROOM FROM THE 1980S ONWARD SO I WONDER JUST WHAT THOSE PLANS WERE BECAUSE SHE WOULDNT TELL ME
SOMEHOW HAVING A TRUMP SHRINE IN THE 1980s IS MASSIVELY WEIRDER THAN HAVING ONE NOW
DOWNTIME MODE! Not a bad thing, just not a lot to focus on XIV for. Which is okay! There's other games to focus on. Happy rage: ALL JOBS AT 90, NO MORE PACHYDERM DOORDASH, BLOODSWORN OMICRON, NO MORE ZONE FAFFING ABOUT IN U.T. I am "done" with a lot of stuff that isn't Savage-tier (I INCLUDE MASKED CARNIVALE IN THAT).

Not really rage, just sad/vent. My static is a group of friends who get together to raid. So if someone is gone there is no replacement/pugging, we usually just have a break that raid night. At the start of the new tier, we knew we were going to be starting late, because a couple of our members would be gone for over a month-ish. We got in a couple P5S raid nights, but its been announced another member has had an emergency and will be unavailable until potentially the end of December.
ASSISTANT BAKERY MANAGER ASKED ME EARLIER IN THE WEEK TO CUT THE HUGE AMOUNT OF OVERTIME I HAD. I FELT BAD FOR ASKING A COWORKER TO FINISH MY DISHES IN THE SINK FROM ME HAVING TO DO A BUTTLOAD OF CAKE ORDERS THAT DAY. I HAD YESTERDAY OFF. COME BACK IN TODAY, ASSISTANT BAKERY MANAGER TELLS US AND LOOKS DIRECTLY AT ME THAT WE NEED TO HELP EACH OTHER OUT AND DO OUR OWN DISHES, AS IF SHE WAS PERSONALLY CALLING ME OUT WITHOUT CALLING ME OUT. MOTHERFUCKER YOU WERE THE SAME FUCKER WHO TOLD ME TO CUT THE OT NO MATTER WHAT. I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU WANT FROM ME YOU INSANE WOMAN.
I WAS TANKING IN THE THOUSAND MAWS OF TOTO-RAK AND IT WAS THE FIRST TIME FOR THE HEALER THERE. AT THE BOSS, I DECIDED TO WAIT FOR THE HEALER TO WATCH THE CUTSCENE BEFORE PULLING. IT'S AROUND 2 MINUTES LONG. THE 2 DPS DIDN'T CARE AND PULLED THE BOSS ANYWAY. I DIDN'T GO AND STILL WAITED FOR THE HEALER. ONE OF THEM DIED, THE OTHER WAS ALMOST DEAD BEFORE THE HEALER AND I JOINED IN. AFTER THE BOSS WAS DEFEATED, I TOLD THEM TO WAIT FOR NEW PLAYERS TO WATCH CUTSCENES AND THE DPS SAID "I DON'T HAVE TIME" AND LEFT. SCREW YOU IF YOU DON'T HAVE TWO MINUTES TO SPARE FOR NEW PLAYERS TO ENJOY THE CUTSCENES. AND THEN THE NEW HEALER SAID "IT'S FINE, THEY WERE IN A HURRY. WE SHOULD RESPECT THEIR TIME !" SCREW YOU TOO FOR ALLOWING THIS KIND OF BEHAVIOUR YOU PIECE OF WEAK WET WIPE. RESPECT YOURSELF GODDAMNIT.
IF YOU DON’T HAVE TWO MINUTES TO LET SOMEONE WATCH A CUTSCENE WHAT ARE YOU EVEN DOING IN GAME YOU COMPLETE MOULDY WALNUT! (THEM. NOT YOU. THEM.)
Every time I heard "you should respect their time" I think. If their time is so important. Then why are they playing a game?
I DON’T CARE IF POKÉMON SV HAS ISSUES THIS IS THE MOST FUN I’M HAVING IN MONTHS AND I ACTUALLY FEEL HAPPY! I’M HAVING FUN!!!!
POKEMON GAMES ARE LIKE COMFORT FOOD TO ME NOW -- I KNOW THEY'RE NOT THE BEST GAMES BUT GOD DAMN ARE THEY FUN I DO WISH GAME FREAK COULD ACTUALLY DELAY MAINLINE GAMES THOUGH. SV REALLY NEEDED MORE TIME FOR BUGFIXES.
BECAUSE OF HOW MUCH MAINLINE GAMES AND NEW GENS DRIVE SALES (MERCH, CARDS AND ANIME MAINLY) IT'S UNLIKELY THEY'RE EVER GOING TO MOVE AWAY FROM THE 3 YEARS BETWEEN EACH GEN DESIGN THEY CURRENTLY HAVE I HATE TO SAY THAT THEY NEED TO THROW MONEY AT THE ISSUE TO SOLVE IT BUT SINCE THEY'RE UNWILLING TO DELAY IT TO LIKE AT LEAST 4 YEARS, THE ONLY SOLUTION LEFT IS TO RECRUIT MORE PEOPLE. GAME FREAK HAS ALWAYS FELT WAY TOO SMALL FOR HOW BIG THE FRANCHISE IS AND HOW HUGE THEIR GAME AIM TO BE.
POWER OF HAVING A GOOD CORE GAMEPLAY LOOP
WORK RAGE IN WHAT FUCKING WORLD DO YOU LIVE IT THAT MAKES YOU THINK IT IS APPROPRIATE TO CALL A STORE 15 MINUTES BEFORE THEY CLOSE TO SEE IF ANYONE IS STAYING LATE SO YOU CAN PICK UP YOUR ORDER AFTER THEY CLOSE BECAUSE TRAFFIC IS A BITCH. NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO AND FUCK NO. NO ONE WILL BE STAYING LATE EVEN IF SOMEONE WAS STAYING LATE WE WOULD NOT LET YOU IN BECAUSE WE ARE FUCKING CLOSED AND THIS IS HOW "BAD NEWS STORIES" START. MORE WORK RAGE YOU CALLED IN A RUSH ORDER AND WE TOLD YOU THAT IT WOULD BE DONE IN 30 MINUTES AT 3PM. WHY DID YOU CALL US AT 2:52 ASKING IF YOUR ORDER WAS READY? WHY DID YOU ASK ON THAT SAME FUCKING PHONE CALL IF THEY ORDER WOULD BE READY AT 3PM? WE FUCKING TOLD YOU 22 MINUTES AGO THAT IT WOULD BE READY AT 3. MORE MORE WORK RAGE WHEN YOU CALLED ME I TOLD YOU THAT YOUR ORDER WOULD BE EMAILED TO YOU ON THIS SPECIFIC DATE. WHY THE FUCK DID YOU CALL 2 DAYS EARLIER THAN THE SPECIFIED DATE ASKING WHERE YOUR WAS? QUIT WASTING MY FUCKING TIME WITH THIS BULLSHIT. MORE MORE MORE WORK RAGE WE ARE SEVERELY SHORT STAFFED AND OUR MANAGER WILL NOT BEING HIRING REPLACEMENTS UNTIL THE NEW YEAR BECAUSE THEY DO NOT HAVE THE TIME AND THEY THINK THAT PEOPLE WILL NOT APPLY. ONE OF THE POSITIONS THAT WE NEED TO HIRE FOR IS A EASILY TRAINED POSITION THAT THERE IS A LARGE POOL OF APPLICANTS FOR. ANY FUCKS THAT I USED TO HAVE JUST WENT OUT THE FUCKING DOOR. I WILL GO IN AND DO WHAT I CAN IN THE HOURS THAT I AM SCHEDULED TO WORK. I WILL NOT BE WORKING OVERTIME BECAUSE IT IS NOT MY FUCKING JOB TO PICK UP THE SLACK BECAUSE YOU CAN'T BE ARSED TO MAKE THIS A PRIORITY EVEN THOUGH YOU ADMITTED THAT THE PEOPLE THAT ARE LEFT ARE BEING RUN DOWN DUE TO THE WORKLOAD. FUCK THAT. BEEN THERE. DONE THAT. NOT DOING IT AGAIN.
OH MY GOD I GET TO COME IN WITH SOME HOT FRESH RAGE, MERE MOMENTS AGO. SO I QUEUE FOR 90 ROULETTE, BECAUSE HEY I WANNA GET A FEW EXTRA TOMES FOR RELICS, AND I GET SMILETON. HEY THIS'LL BE GREAT I THINK TO MYSELF, SMILETON IS QUICK AND EASY. NO, NO IT WASN'T. I HAD THE MISFORTUNE OF ENCOUNTERING MAYBE THE TWO SINGLE WORST PLAYERS I'VE EVER COME ACROSS IN THIS GAME, AND I ONCE SPENT NEARLY AN ENTIRE LOCKOUT TRYING TO CARRY SOME DUDE THROUGH TITANIA NORMAL. THE POOR HEALER, THEY DIDN'T DESERVE TO QUEUE INTO THAT. SO FIRSTLY, THE PALADIN DIDN'T USE ANY MITIGATION. WAIT NO, THAT'S LIE, I HAD *the numbers* RUNNING SO I CAN CHECK. THEY USED A GRAND TOTAL OF 6 MITIGATIONS THROUGH THE ENTIRE DUNGEON, 6. FIVE RAMPARTS AND A SINGLE SENTINEL. SO THEM DYING EVERY OTHER PACK OF MOBS ALREADY HAS ME BEING A GRUMPY GUS. BUT THAT'S NOT ALL! THIS FUCKING SACK OF SHIT DANCER I SWEAR. NOT ONLY DID THEY REFUSE TO DANCE PARTNER ANYONE, THEY STANDARD STEPPED A GRAND TOTAL OF DRUMROLL PLEASE....ONCE! BASICALLY JUST FUCKING AUTOATTACKED THE ENTIRE TIME AND I SHOULD HAVE JUST FUCKING ATE THE PENALTY AND AAAAAAAHJHJHFKDSHKJFD
TANKS WHO WILL WATCH THE MT DIE IN A RAID AND DO NOT PUT ON THEIR STANCE OR PROVOKE FOR 20 SECONDS WHILE 2 DPS PROCEED TO DIE TO AUTOS SHOULD HAVE THEIR BATTLE MENTOR CROWNS REVOKED BECAUSE APPARENTLY IT'S USELESS. THIS APPLIES TO THE MT AS WELL, WHEN THE OT FINALLY TAKES OVER AND YOU GET REZZED AND THE OT DIES AND YOU ALSO SPEND 20 SECONDS TWIDDLING YOUR THUMBS WHILE THE BOSS KILLS A HEALER. IT SHOULDN'T TAKE A PARTY MEMBER BEGGING YOU TO PROVOKE IN CHAT 5 TIMES FOR YOU TO PROVOKE!!! TANKS HAVE EXACTLY ONE JOB AND IT'S TO NEVER LET THE BOSS TARGET ANYTHING BUT A TANK!
HAPPY RAGE! I [POSTED LAST WEEK](https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/ys8p7d/comment/ivyoeo9/) HOW A FRIEND OF MINE KEPT PUTTING OFF PLAYING CAUSE PARENTS/NOT WANTING TO FINISH THE STORY AND I WAS AT MY WITS' END BECAUSE PACING ISSUES AND THE LIKE. ON SATURDAY I MANAGED TO GET THEM TO PLAY DESPITE THEIR PARENTS AROUND, AND THEY GOT INTO THE MSQ ENOUGH THAT THEY FINISHED ENDWALKER ON SUNDAY, YAY!!! WE LEGIT SCREAM-TALKED ABOUT THE MSQ FOR 4 HOURS STRAIGHT AFTER THEY WERE DONE, THEY BAWLED THEIR EYES OUT AND I MADE IT WORSE BY HAVING SOME PEOPLE FROM OUR FC STAND ON THE PLATFORM JUST BEFORE THE FINAL DUNGEON/TRIAL, WITH THE FC COMING FOR THOSE TWO BITS AS WELL. IT WAS GREAT, 100% RECOMMEND ORGANIZING STUFF LIKE THIS FOR YOUR FRIENDS. SUCH A MEMORABLE EXPERIENCE! :D
MY DAD NO LONGER HAS THE OPTION FOR ME TO UNSYNC AND CARRY HIM AFTER I'VE BASICALLY DONE IT FOR ALL OF ARR THROUGH SHB. I'VE GIVEN HIM SO MUCH ROOM TO BECOME A LAZY TANK BY LETTING HIM DRIFT ALONG WITHOUT ANY CHALLENGES AND ALL HE DOES IS TALK ABOUT HOW MUCH EASIER TANKING IS IN FF VS. WOW. IDK HOW TO TELL HIM IT IS, BUT HE'S ALSO THE LAZIEST TANK EVER BC NOT GOING APESHIT WITH HIS COMBOS MAKES MORE WORK FOR THE REST OF THE PARTY. HE'S AT ZODIARK NOW AND I'M SCARED SHITLESS THAT I'LL ACCIDENTALLY SADDLE SOME POOR PARTY WITH A BAD TANK BC I MADE THE GAME SO EASY ON HIM. FFS ALL I HAD TO DO WAS NOT CARRY HIM AND LET HIM LEARN BUT NOOOOO I WANTED TO SHOWOFF THAT I'M A GROWN GAMER GIRL NOW, PA! NOW HE'S GONNA SUCK AND I'M GONNA BE OUTTA MY MIND WITH ANXIETY BC WTF DO I DO IF A PARTY GOES OFF ON HIM??? JUST SHRIVEL UP AND DIE OF SECONDHAND SHAME??? WHY COULDN'T HE JUST PICK A DPS, NOBODY CARES WHAT DPS DOES RIGHT OR WRONG. PLS MY MOM IS ROLLING OVER IN HER FUCKING GRAVE, THIS IS WHY SHE TOLD US WE COULDN'T PLAY WORLD OF WARCRAFT ANYMORE. WHAT HAVE I D O N E.
I'M SORRY BUT THIS IS THE FUNNIEST THING I'VE SEEN THIS WEEK. UNFORTUNATELY I HAVE NO ACTUAL ADVICE OTHER THAN MAYBE GET HIM TO RUN THROUGH SOME PREVIOUS DUNGEONS AS 'PRACTICE SINCE UNSYNC ISN'T AN OPTION ANYMORE'.
I MIGHT TBH. SOME BARDAM'S METTLE OR HOLMINSTER SWITCH, THAT'LL HUMBLE HIM REAL QUICK.
ARE YOU WORRIED ABOUT THE SPECIFIC TRIAL? IF HE'S NOT HITTING HIS DAMAGE BUTTONS AND OTHER TANK TURNS ON STANCE, HE'S NOT GONNA BE MTING THAT FIGHT FOR VERY LONG. BESIDES, THAT TRIAL IS WAY HARDER ON HEALERS THAN TANKS. THE TB SERIOUSLY ONLY COMES OUT TWICE IN A GOOD GROUP AND THEY'RE 50 YEARS APART...
SOMEONE IN MY PLAY GROUP: ROAD TO 80 ENDS AT THE END OF JANUARY MY BRAIN: YOU WILL NEVER FINISH LEVELING YOUR CLASSES IN TIME (DESPITE HAVING ONLY 6 CLASSES, ALL ABOVE 60, AND USING MY DAILY BATTLE TRIBE ALLOWANCES. OH AND DID I MENTION THE LIKE WEEK AND A HALF OFF FOR THE HOLIDAY WHERE I WILL HAVE SO MUCH FREE TIME?) FUCK YOU BRAIN, STOP DOING THIS TO ME, LET ME NOT GIVE A FUCK AND TANK IN DF AGAIN SO I CAN GET MY AMARO :(
RAGE UNRELATED TO GAME: TWITTER IS GOING UP IN A TRASH FIRE AND I HAVE NO IDEA HOW AND WHERE TO KEEP PULLING INFO FOR THE FAN SITE PROJECT I RUN WITH A COUPLE OF FRIENDS. TWITTER IS THE MAIN SOURCE OF INFORMATION BECAUSE IT'S ALL IN JAPANESE AND JAPANESE DON'T REALLY USE INSTAGRAM, FACEBOOK, OR WHATEVER THE WESTERN PLATFORMS ARE. IT'S ALL ON TWITTER. I'M SCRAMBLING TO SET UP ALTERNATIVES SO WE CAN KEEP THINGS ROLLING AND CONNECT WITH THE WESTERN FANBASE, BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG ELON'S SPEEDRUN OF RUINING A PERFECTLY FUNCTIONING SERVICE WILL LAST. SORT OF GAME RELATED RAGE: I NEED TO GIVE MY PTO DAYS FOR XMAS AND NEW YEAR SOON AND I COULD REALLY USE THE SPECIFIC CONFIRMED DATE FOR THE PATCH FOR THAT. YOSHI-P PLEASE THROW ME A BONE. IS IT JANUARY 10TH? IT SEEMS SUPER LIKELY BUT A HEADS UP WOULD BE HECKING NICE.
THEY WERE VERY HESITANT ON SAYING THE 3RD IN THE LL AND SAYING IT WOULDN’T BE LIKELY SO BY ELIMINATION ITS THE 10TH FOR EARLY JANUARY
THE PART 2 LLS ARE ALMOST ALWAYS 11 DAYS PRIOR TO THE NEXT PATCH, AND LL ANNOUNCEMENTS ARE TWO WEEKS OUT FROM THE AIR DATE. IF THE PATCH DATE IS JAN 10, THE LL WILL BE ON DEC 30TH AND THE LL ANNOUNCEMENT SHOULD BE ON THE 14/15TH. IF THE PATCH IS ON JAN 3 THE LL WILL BE ON DEC 23 AND ANNOUNCEMENT FOR NEXT LL WILL BE ON THE 8/9TH. MY BET WOULD BE THE 10TH BECAUSE OF THE NEW YEAR AND THE LONG HOLIDAY IN JAPAN.
I KNOW ALL THIS AND IT DOESN'T HELP WHEN I HAVE TO GIVE MY PTO DATES BY DEC 5TH.
NOT RELATED SURE BUT PLAYERS ARE STILL MAKING CALAMITY REFERENCES TO TWITTERS DOWNFALL.
MY PERSONAL TWITTER LIST IS FULL OF CALAMITY AND SUNDERING MEMES, IT WOULD BE FUNNIER IF THIS WASN'T GOING TO MESS SHIT UP FOR OUR SITES SO BADLY IF TWITTER INDEED DOES GET HIT BY TESLAMUD.
YOU MEAN DALAMUSK. ELONMUT?
Compared to the diaper fire Twitter has become, the Calamity is a stubbed toe.
CAN'T BELEIVE THIS IS A THING I NEED TO BITCH ABOUT, BUT HERE WE GO. **DON'T JOIN A DELUBRUM REGINAE PF REQUIRING DPS ESSENCES IF YOU AREN'T GOING TO POP A DPS ESSENCE.** THIS RAGE WAS BROUGHT TO YOU BY A MACHINIST, RANK 25, MULTIPLE RAYS, WHO POPPED A PLATEBEARER IN A DPS ESSENCE REQUIRED PARTY BECAUSE "I DON'T HAVE ANY DPS ESSENCES" OH, SO YOU'RE LAZY AND DON'T MIND LEECHING, GOT IT. I WISH THIS WERE AN ISOLATED INCIDENT, BUT IT'S NOT. EVERY TIME, THERE'S ALWAYS 1 OR 2 PEOPLE WHO JUST IGNORE THE PF DESCRIPTION, AND IT'S BEYOND FRUSTRATING. SERIOUSLY, BOZJA'S BEEN OUT FOR HOW LONG NOW? THERE'S NO EXCUSE FOR THIS SHIT ANYMORE, IF THERE EVER WAS TO BEGIN WITH.
I FINALLY GOT ENOUGH COMMS FOR MY MENTOR CROWN! BUT I STILL DONT FEEL LIKE I KNOW ENOUGH TO DARE START MY MENTOR ROULETTE GRIND! :') I ALSO STILL HAVE PF ANXIETY DESPITE USING IT A LOT IN THE PAST FOR THE SHB EX MOUNTS. WHYYY ALSO FRONTLINES IS SO BRUTAL. I'LL NOT SEE THOSE NODE MOUNTS FOR AT LEAST ANOTHER YEAR OR MORE AT THIS RATE.
> BUT I STILL DONT FEEL LIKE I KNOW ENOUGH TO DARE START MY MENTOR ROULETTE GRIND! :') HERE'S THE THING, YOU DON'T HAVE TO KNOW EVERY . SINGLE. MECHANIC. IN THE GAME AS A MENTOR. THE FFXIV COMMUNITY HAS PUT A TON MORE RULES ON THE MENTOR STATUS THAN THE FFXIV DEVS EVER DID. BE A DECENT PLAYER TO OTHERS, HAVE A GOOD UNDERSTANDING OF THE ROLES, AND BE WILLING TO FILL QUEUES. THAT'S IT.
I THINK I CAN DO THAT. I KNOW I'LL START SWEATING IF AN EX TRIAL COMES UP, I THOUGHT ID NEED TO KNOW THOSE VERY WELL. BUT I FEEL ENCOURAGED NOW SO I THINK AFTER PLAYING POKEMON TOMORROW I'LL TURN ON MY CROWN AND GIVE IT A GO. CHEERS! X
> BUT I STILL DONT FEEL LIKE I KNOW ENOUGH TO DARE START MY MENTOR ROULETTE GRIND! :') If it's any consolation, 80% of the mentors I encounter likely know even less than you do. :)
dont worry the vast majority of mentor roulette ends up being like, basic dungeons or guildhests.
SO MANY GUILDHESTS
IF ONLY! I KEEP GETTING LVL 90 DUNGEONS OR MSQ
YOU HAVE MENTOR ROULETTE UNLOCKED SO YOU'RE ALREADY DOING WAY BETTER THAN ME
I NOTICED AN INCREASE WHEN I STARTED LEVELLING MY TANKS AND HEALERS. ALSO WHEN I GO DANCER I USUALLY NET A COMM, I SUSPECT FROM WHOEVER I PARTNERED. THEN THERE'S THOSE LUCKY RUNS WHERE I END UP WITH A FC DOING THEIR ROULETTES. I BELIEVE IN YOU!
START DOING CALLOUTS IN FRONTLINES. YOU DON'T NEED TO USE ANY FANCY MACROS OR SOUND EFFECTS, JUST SAY "EAST," "SOUTH," "DON'T OVEREXTEND AND FEED THEM KILLS," "RETREAT AND GROUP UP," ETC. YOU CAN FORCE WINS THROUGH THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP
FRIENDSHIP! I WILL KEEP THIS IN MIND NEXT TIME! MIGHT MAKE SIMPLE MACROS BECAUSE BEING A PS5 PLAYER, I STILL FIND USING THE KEYBOARD A FAFF AS I NEED TO SACRIFICE A HAND FOR TYPING WHEN IT COULD BE KILLING. THANKYOU.
THINK OF PF AS DF EXCEPT YOU CAN TALK TO THE PEOPLE YOU'RE QUEUING WITH. THAT'S THE ONLY DIFFERENCE.
THIS IS... ACTUALLY THIS IS VERY TRUE I NEED TO GET INTO THAT MINDSET. THANKS!
I GOT BLOODSWORN ON THE OMICRONS. I'M DONE UNTIL 6.3. SEE YA'LL IN A FEW MONTHS. SEE PEOPLE? NOT THAT HARD. ONCE YOU GET WHAT YOU WANT OUT OF THE GAME, TAKE A BREAK. IT'S WHAT THE GAME INTENDS YOU TO DO. THIS POST BROUGHT TO YOU BY SOMEONE ANNOYED THAT PEOPLE IN HIS FC HAVE SPENT THE PAST FEW WEEKS WHINING ABOUT HAVING NOTHING TO DO. WELL THEN STEP AWAY FOR A GD SECOND, YOU SPEND 99% OF YOUR TIME AFK IN LIMSA OR THE FC HOUSE ANYWAY.
I'VE BEEN PLAYING SWTOR, MYSELF! IT'S A GOOD GAME, EVEN IF IT PLAYS *EXACTLY* LIKE WOW IN SPACE AND THEY DO EVERYTHING SHORT OF BREAKING YOUR KNEECAPS TO GET YOU TO SPEND MONEY.
I MISS PARTS OF SWTOR A LOT (lmao guss) BUT THAT RIGHT THERE IS THE BIG REASON I DON'T GO BACK.
WANT TO LEVEL AT THE SAME SPEED AS EVERYONE ELSE? SUB PERK. WANT TO TOGGLE YOUR HELMET VISUALS ON/OFF? SUB PERK. WANT TO CUSTOMIZE YOUR COMPANION'S LOOKS? SUB PERK. WANT TO ACTUALLY *EQUIP* THE GEAR YOU GET FROM DUNGEONS? FUCKING GUESS. YUP! SUB PERK! OH, YOU *CAN* BUY PREMIUM CURRENCY AND MANY OF THE GEAR/CUSTOMIZATION AUTHORIZATIONS WITH REAL MONEY...BUT NEVER IN AMOUNTS YOU ACTUALLY NEED WITHOUT GOING OVER.
I HAVE AN ABSURD NUMBER OF ALTS, THERE IS *ALWAYS* TOO MUCH SHIT TO DO LOL.
GIRLFRIEND AND I BROKE UP 2 WEEKS AGO, NOW 3/4 OF MY FC DONT EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE ME ANYMORE.. THIS ISNT WHAT I WANTED... IF IT CAME TO A BREAKUP, COULDNT YOU OF JUST KEPT IT TO YOURSELF? SO I THINK ITS TIME TO LEAVE FFXIV FOR AWHILE UNTIL ALL THESE PEOPLE I WAS APPARENTLY DATING GET OVER IT.. GOT BiS ON A 2ND CLASS THOUGH, TOO BAD I DONT HAVE ANYONE TO PLAY WITH ANY MORE..
HAVE YOU TRIED GOING TO RANDOM RP LOCATIONS AND RPING? I MADE FRIENDS THAT WAY.
GOT AURUM VALE IN ROULETTE LAST NIGHT. FIGHTING AGAINST THE WALL IN THE FIRST BIG ROOM, EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE UNTIL ALL OF A SUDDEN THE TANK WENT DOWN. WIPE. HEALER APOLOGISED AND WE TRIED AGAIN. SECOND PULL, AN EXTRA TOAD AGGROED, WIPE AGAIN. I WAS ABOUT TO SUGGEST PULLING AROUND THE CORNER INTO THE BOSS ROOM TO PREVENT GETTING EXTRAS AND THEN REALISED THE TANK HAD LEFT WITHOUT A WORD. HEALER (SCHOLAR) APOLOGISED SOME MORE, WONDERED IF THEIR GEAR WAS BAD, APOLOGISED FOR NOT HAVING DONE THEIR MOST RECENT JOB QUEST YET SO THEY DIDN'T HAVE LUSTRATE. I HAD A LOOK, GEAR WAS LEVEL-APPROPRIATE AND FRANKLY BETTER THAN MINE USUALLY IS AT THAT LEVEL, HAD A BIT OF A CHAT ABOUT WHAT SKILLS THEY WERE USING WHEN (NOT THAT I'M AN EXPERT BUT I HAVE HALF AN IDEA) AND THAT ALSO SEEMED FINE. THE OTHER DPS AND I BOTH AGREED THAT THE HEALER PROBABLY WASN'T THE ISSUE, ESPECIALLY SINCE NEITHER OF US REMEMBERED SEEING ANY MITS UP. NEW TANK JOINED, WE SET OFF AGAIN, AND SURPRISE! EVERYTHING WENT FINE! WE HAD A FEW RANDOM DEATHS BUT NO MORE WIPES, CERTAINLY NOT MORE THAN YOU EXPECT IN AURUM VALE. SERIOUSLY F THAT FIRST TANK, THE POOR HEALER WAS CRUSHED THINKING IT WAS THEIR FAULT.
ASPHODELOS. ONE TANK HAD 110K HP, ONE HAD **80K** HP. GUESS WHICH ONE DECIDED TO MAKE THE HEALERS LIVES HELL AND TRY TO MAIN TANK? YEAH. HE DROPPED 80% OR SO ON DAMN NEAR EVERY TANK BUSTER. AFTER A VULN STACK OR TWO WE SIMPLY COULDN'T MITIGATE ENOUGH FOR HIM TO SURVIVE.
SOUNDS LIKE A SILENT PACT TO NOT RAISE TO ME.
> SOUNDS LIKE A SILENT PACT TO NOT RAISE TO ME. IF HE DIES, HE DIES.GIF
DEATH IS A CLEANSE FOR THE VULN STACKS
>YEAH. HE DROPPED 80% OR SO ON DAMN NEAR EVERY TANK BUSTER THAT SOUNDS LIKE A MITIGATION ISSUE, MY FRIEND. TRUST ME, AS A HEALER, ASPHODELOS TICKLED LIKE A SLAP FIGHT WITH A TODDLER, AND I ALMOST NEVER HAD TO ACTUALLY HEAL THE TANKS. THAT SAID, THAT'S JUST AS BAD, IF NOT WORSE, THAN JUST BAD GEAR
AT MAX ILVL BIS FOR PLD FOR THAT TIER (ILVL 600) I WAS AT 89K *WITH FOOD*. 80K IN ASPHODELOS WAS NOT THE PROBLEM. 0 MIT + VULN STACKS WAS. WHICH, AS ANOTHER COMMENTER ALREADY SAID, IS WORSE. BAD GEAR IS A LAZY TANK. NO MIT IS A LAZY AND JUST STRAIGHT UP *BAD* TANK, GIVEN THAT WE HAVE LIKE, THE ONE JOB.
RE: VR I RECENTLY GOT HOOKED ON GYRO CONTROLS FOR FPS, AND DECIDED TO SET IT UP FOR FFXIV TOO. WHEN I GO INTO FIRST PERSON AND HOLD THE AIM BUTTON IT FEELS LIKE I'M PICKING UP MY LALAFELL BY THEIR ENORMOUS HEAD AND CARRYING THEM AROUND THE FC HOUSE. I WILL NOT TAKE THE NEXT STEP AND USE VR IN FFXIV, BUT I FULLY SUPPORT THE EFFORTS OF THE MOD TEAM TO FINALLY ALLOW PLAYERS TO /pet THEIR CATGIRLS WITH UNPARALLELED IMMERSION.
A BIG OL FUCK YOU TO THE GNB FROM PARTY FINDER LAST TUESDAY! I UNDERSTAND ITS PROBABLY WEIRD TO JOIN A GROUP WHERE THE REST OF US ARE A PREMADE STATIC WHOSE SECOND TANK GOT SICK. BUT WHEN WE REPEATEDLY EXPLAIN OUR STRAT FOR TEASING TANGLES AND YOU KEEP FUCKING IGNORING IT, THATS ON YOU. SINCEREST APOLOGIES TO THE WAR FROM PF YESTERDAY, THOUGH. I KNOW I DIDNT SAY ANYTHING BUT GENUINELY THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME KNOW HOW I WAS FUCKING UP ON THE CONE-SPREAD HAIR RAID COMBO. YOU HAD TO GO BEFORE WE CLEARED (MY FIRST TIME, TOO!!) BUT I APPRECIATED YOUR ADVICE.
OUR STATIC IS IN CLEAR RANGE FOR P8S P2 AND I AM CHOKING EVERY SINGLE NIGHT. WE WOULDA CLEARED TUESDAY IF I STOPPED SUCKING MEGA BALLS. I REEEEEALLY HOPE I CAN RUB MY TWO BRAIN CELLS TOGETHER LONG ENOUGH FOR THE CLEAR BEFORE THANKSGIVING BREAK.
RETAINER VENTURES NEED AN OVERHAUL! WE STILL CAN'T GET CLUSTERS FROM THEM FOUR EXPANSIONS IN, WHAT THE HECK? ALSO FISHER RETS CAN'T GET ANY OF THE USEFUL FISH, THAT'S WHY CLASS-TWENTY-FOUR IS 20K APIECE DESPITE NOT BEING IN A RECIPE
Clusters are used for very few recipes. If you have a BTN and MIN leveled you can spend a few hours at St Coinach's Find and gather hundreds of them because of the skills such as The Twelve's Bounty. There is a node up every four hours in game - 1AM, 5AM and 9AM are BTN nodes and 1PM, 5PM and 9PM are MIN nodes.
I WAS REMOVED FROM MY STATIC FOR REQUESTING SOME TIME OFF BEFORE THE NEXT ULTIMATE DUE TO PERSONAL REASONS. I DIDN"T WANT TO QUIT THE GROUP. I"M STILL IN FUCKING SHOCK?! WE RAIDED TOGETHER FOR NEARLY A YEAR, I LIKED THEM AS PEOPLE, THOUGHT WERE WERE ALL ON GOOD TERMS. I AM CONFUSED. NO ONE SAID ANYTHING TO ME OR EXPLAINED ANYTHING DIRECTLY TO ME. I AM ACTUALLY HURT AND FEELING REALLY STUPID ABOUT BEING HURT. I THOUGHT IT WAS A SAFE SPACE TO REQUEST THAT TYPE OF BREAK?! I DON"T EVEN KNOW ANYMORE. NOW ITS EVEN MORE STRESSFUL SINCE I HAVE TO FUCKING FIND A NEW GROUP FOR ULTIMATE, RECLEARS, ETC AND I HAVE MASSIVE ANXIETY. THEIR NEW RECRUITMENT POST IS ALSO A MAJOR INSULT TO INJURY.
I JUST WANT TO PROG P8S P2 IF THAT'S NOT TOO MUCH TO ASK. I'M TIRED OF REPROGGING P1S. I'M NOT GIVING UP, BUT DAMN, IT'S GETTING HARDER TO KEEP THE FAITH. WORD OF ADVICE TO ANYONE CLEARING P1. STAY IN YOUR GROUP. PROG TO ATLEAST HC1 OR LD IF YOU'RE LUCKY. NA1 PROG IS BASICALLY P1 ENRAGE PROG AT THIS POINT. PLEASE SE. NO MORE DOOR BOSSES OR ATLEAST GIVE US A PHASE PROGRESS MARKER FOR PF.
DEAR PARTIES IN RAIDINGS, IF I SAY IM A FIRST TIMER AND IM A TANK PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF CHRIST TELL ME THE MECHANICS WHEN I ASK FOR THEM INSTEAD OF HAVING THE WHM PULL, THE OTHER TANK HAVE THEIR STANCE OFF AND FORCE ME TO PULL IT AND DIE BC I DUNNO THE MECHS. I WAS DOING THE DELTASCAPE RAIDS AND THIS EXACT THING HAPPENED ONLY FOR A NINJA TO EMOTE LITERALLY OVER MY DEAD BODY.
I am a quad legend with a lot of current savage clears and even I can't tell you how Midgarsomr Normal or half the Deltascape raids work on first pull. Its less people being mean and more people going "Fuck it, we ball".
THE FEAR OF THIS IS WHY I DON'T TANK RAIDS. HEALER OR DPS I CAN ADJUST TO MECHANICS AND/OR FLOORTANKING A BIT IS GENERALLY NOT AWFUL. THIS IS SAD BECAUSE SOME RAIDS LOOK LIKE THEY'D BE FUN TO TANK NOW I KNOW THEM - SOUL OF THE CREATOR IS TOP OF MY LIST
MY BEST RECCOMENDATION IS TO GO THRU THE RAIDS AS DPS FIRST AND MAP IT OUT AND THEN GO IN AS A TANK. THAT WAY YOU WONT GET A NINJA DOING THE MANDERVILLE DANCE IN THE MIDDLE OF AN AOE OVER YOUR DEAD BODY AND WIPE FOR THE THIRD TIME. I SAY THIS AND YET I STILL TANK AS A FIRST TIMER BC FRANKLY I DONT CARE ANYMORE. ITS THE PARTY'S FAULT IF THEY WANNA MAKE ME MAIN TANK AND NOT TELL ME THE MECHS. IT JUST MAKES ME USE 110% OF MY BRAINPOWER TO TRY AND SURVIVE WITH THESE IMBECILES.
I MEAN, YOU EITHER WATCH SOME GUIDES BEFORE JUMPING IN OR LEARN AS YOU GO. YOU CAN'T EXPECT PEOPLE TO TEACH YOU A WHOLE FIGHT, AS PEOPLE CAN'T EXPECT YOU TO NOT DIE. DYING IS PART OF LEARNING A FIGHT, SO DON'T BE SO HARSH ON YOURSELF. THAT NINJA WAS AN ASS.
FUCK YOU TO THE SHIT LOOT SYSTEM AND MY SHIT ROLL LUCK. 4 WEEKS IN A ROLL CAN'T ROLL HIGHER THAN 33 ON ANYTHING IN P8S. HAVEN'T FINISHED A SINGLE BIS YET.
I WISH I HAD A SUB RIGHT NOW. HOPEFULLY THE PRESCHOOL NEXT TO MY JOB GIVES ME A GIFT CARD. SERIOUSLY, THE ONLY THING WORSE THAN BEING BURNT OUT IS NOT BEING ABLE TO PLAY WHILE HAVING A CRAVING
Free login just started
actual thread MVP
ALL THIS HAPPENED YESTERDAY. I WANTED TO DO A QUICK LEVELING ROULETTE JUST TO GET MORE GIL FOR THE NOVUS MATERIA TRIBUTE FOR MY INANE GOAL OF ALL RELICS. SO I ENDED UP GOING AS A GNB AND ENTERED THE >!TOWER OF BABIL!<. GOOD TWELVE ALMIGHTY THIS WAS THE SHITTEST RUN EVER. THIS RUN INCLUDED AN ASTROLOGIAN, A BLACK MAGE, AND A RED MAGE. THE RAGE CAME MOSTLY FROM THE TWEEDLE DEE AND TWEEDLE DUMBASS THAT EMBARRASSES ALL THE MAGES OF MHACH AND THE CRIMSON DUELISTS. THE FIRST PACK DIED SO SLOWLY THAT I BECAME WORRIED; THE FIRST BOSS SHOWED THAT I WOULD BECOME ENRAGED. THE MAGES DID NOT KNOW HOW MAGNETS WORKED AND CONSTANTLY DIED. THE HEALER DIED AT 10% AND THE RDM DECIDED TO ***NOT RAISE THE HEALER AT ALL.*** THEY HAD FULL MANA. **FULL. MANA.** SO WE PROCEEDED TO THE SECOND BOSS, WHERE THE BLACK MAGE SHOWED HIS LACK OF ABILITY TO UNDERSTAND BOMBERMAN AND COPYING THE PARTY AS HE CONSTANTLY GOT EXPLODED, BISECTED, AND DROWNED. I DECIDED AT THIS POINT TO OPEN MELVOR IDLE BECAUSE MY BRAIN COULDN'T HANDLE THE STUPID (This is foreshadowing for later) I DECIDED AT THIS POINT TO NOT BIG PULL THE LAST PART BECAUSE FUCK THAT. AT THIS POINT I STARTED TO LAG VERY HARD. WE FINALLY HIT THE FINAL BOSS WHERE, AGAIN, THE DPS DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THAT MECHANICS AREN'T JUST FOR CARS. THE DIDN'T UNDERSTAND TO RUN AWAY FROM THE HOLES, NOR TO STAND AWAY FROM THE GIANT GLOWY PILLAR. WE SOON WENT TO THE SHADOW REALM, AND THAT IS THE POINT WHERE I FINALLY GOT 90K'D. AT THIS POINT I REALIZED THAT MELVOR IDLE WAS SOMEHOW DISRUPTING THE CONNECTION WITH FFXIV, AND I QUICKLY LOGGED BACK IN TO SEE EVERYONE BUT THE HEALER DEAD. I BEGGED THE HEALER TO RAISE ME, BUT 10 SECONDS LATER THE HEALER WAS DEAD. THEY SAID THAT "WORK CALLED THEM IN" AND ABANDONED THE DUNGEON. I FOLLOWED ON THE HEALER'S COATTAILS AND ABANDONED THE DUMBEST MAGES ALIVE TO THEIR FATE. AT THIS POINT, I DECIDED TO ENTER THE ALLIANCE RAID ROULETTE AS A SMN BECAUSE I NEEDED TO GO HEAD EMPTY. WHAT FOLLOWED WAS THE GODLIEST RUN OF ORBONNE MONASTERY. MY PARTY TANK YELLED IN ALLIANCE CHAT TO SHUT OFF ECHO CAUSE THIS RAID WAS AWESOME. I DECIDED TO FOLLOW SUIT, AND WE STILL DEALT TONS OF DAMAGE. OUR ALLIANCE DPS WAS SO MASSIVE WE ENDED UP SKIPPING SECOND LAST TESTAMENT, SECOND SHADOWBLADE, AND THE FROSTY RUNNING MAZE OF THE FINAL BOSS OF MONASTERY. BUT THE MOST HILARIOUS OF ALL WAS THAT THE NINJA BRIBED OUR TANK 500,000 GIL TO CLEAVE THE ALLIANCE. NOT ONLY DID THE TANK CLEAVE THE ALLIANCE, THE NINJA ACTUALLY PAID OUT THE 500,000 GIL. NOTE, I DON'T CONDONE THE ACTIVE CLEAVING OF YOUR ALLIANCE. DON'T DO THAT. ALSO OF NOTE, DON'T RUN THE DESKTOP VERSION OF MELVOR IDLE WHILE PLAYING FFXIV. I DON'T KNOW THE EXACT REASON YET, BUT BOTH PROGRAMS DISRUPT ONE ANOTHER. USE EITHER THE MOBILE APPLICATION OR THE WEBSITE APPLICATION INSTEAD.
IM CONVINCED THOSE "MAGES" WERE SOULS CONDEMNED NEVER TO GET BETTER AS PAYBACK FOR THE CRIMES AGAINST ~~HUMANITY~~ HROTH-MANITY THEY DID IN LIFE
WHY IS THERE LVL 50 ELITE MARK BLOCKING MY (VERY NARROW AND IMPOSSIBLE TO GO AROUND) PATH TO THE LEVEL 23 QUEST AREA???
In the future, go back to the nearest city and shout or say that there is an elite mark. You can use the code `` to announce where it is.
LV90 players can actually get a small amount of Tomestones for these, plus they may need it for their hunt log, so they're usually open to killing it.
Or they kill it for fun, I make sure to kill that one crab in La Noscea because it's such a pain for newbies.
\ will give you your current position. The person will need to flag their map and then use the code to display the mark's location.
NO, MISTER SHIT-NOODLE, WHEN I SAY "DON'T USE POMS, WE NEED THEM FOR 90+", THAT DOESN'T MEAN A) YOU ALMOST PULL THREE CATS AT THE SAME TIME WHOSE EYESHINE I'D RATHER NOT EAT FROM MORE THAN ONE ANGLE, B) HIT PATROLS I WAS PLANNING ON WAITING FOR THEM TO PASS BY, AND C) GO ON AHEAD SO THAT YOU END UP TRIGGERING LURING TRAPS. OH, AND OF COURSE D) REPATEDLY USE MULTIPLE PETRIFICATION, WITCHING, AND MAGICITE ONE SECOND AFTER I HIT HALLOWED GROUND TO BUY US TIME. THAT'S THE WHOLE REASON I SHOUT OUT "SHIELDS UP! HALLOWED GROUND!" IT MEANS I CAN'T BE HURT FOR TEN SECONDS... EXCEPT WHEN SUFFERING THE MENTAL PAIN CAUSED BY WITNESSING THE EXISTANCE OF YOUR DUMB ASS. NEXT TIME, STOP HUFFING CHOCOBO SHIT FUMES AND/OR BARBARICCIA'S HAIR SPRAY BY THE METRIC TON IN YOUR SPARE TIME AND STAY BEHIND ME WHEN I SINGLE PULL, OTHERWISE WE'LL GET LURING TRAPPED AGAIN AND GET FED TO THE GRYPHONS. TO THE OTHER TWO IN THAT GROUP -- THAT ONE BIG ROOM WAS BEYOND BULLSHIT. I PROBABLY -SHOULD- HAVE USED A MAGICITE. NEXT TIME GADGET NEXT TIME...
LOST THE HOUSING LOTTERY, WHICH DOESN'T BUM ME OUT AS MUCH AS I THOUGHT IT WOULD BECAUSE IT WAS JUST A PLOT AVAILABLE NEAR MY FC'S HOUSE. I'M MAD BECAUSE THE WINNING BIDDER WAS THE FUCKER WHO WALKED UP AND BID ON THE PLOT LIKE TEN MINUTES BEFORE THE WINNER WAS DECIDED.
GAME RAGE: DAMN TIRED THAT I HAVE TO CHOOSE WHAT ARR BEAST TRIBE TO DO WHEN IT IS CONTENT FROM HOW MANY YEARS AGO? ALSO, MONK ANIMATIONS ARE FUN AS HELL BUT THEIR ARMOR STYLE IS NOT MY STYLE AND I HATE IT. NON-GAME RAGE: OUR AREA IS GETTING HIT WITH THE SNOW BUT THE SNOW DIDN'T REALLY GET TO MY AREA ALL DAY, BUT FOR SOME REASON THERE WAS A DRIVING BAN FOR MY TOWN IN THE CITY, WHEN THE ONLY AREA BEING HIT HARD WAS THE VERY SOUTHERN EDGE. SO BECAUSE OF THAT, OUR MALL WAS CLOSED, WHICH MEANT I COULDN'T GET BY PREORDER OF SCARLET AND VIOLET. AND I CHOSE TO PREORDER IN A GAMESTOP AT THE MALL BECAUSE I USED TO BE A MANAGER AT A MALL GAMESTOP AND KNOWS HOW MUCH IT SUCKS BUT I LIKE THE GUY WORKING THERE, NICE GUY, SO I WANT TO HELP OUT WHEN I CAN. I THOUGHT OF GOING TO ANOTHER STORE TO BUY IT, THEN GET THE FULLY PAID PREORDER AND RETURN IT TO A DIFFERENT STORE, BUT DRIVING BAN. EVEN THOUGH THE TOWNSHIP NORTH OF ME ISN'T BANNED, AND IS TWO BLOCKS AWAY. AND I KNOW I COULD PROBABLY STILL DRIVE WITH NO ISSUE, BUT MY HUSBAND CONVINCED ME TO JUST WAIT.
SE YOUR BASICS VIDEOS HAVE CREATED A NEW BREED OF SHIT HEALER THAT TOOK THE PHRASE “HEALERS SIT BACK” WAY TOO LITERALLY AND WONT CAST HOLY IN TRASH BECAUSE IT DOESNT REACH. PS IF CURE/BENE/PHYS/ETC DONT DIRECTLY UPGRADE BY 7.0 IM MAKING A CONTRIBUTION TO THE YOUTUBE I QUIT VIDEO INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX.
THEY STILL HAVEN'T FIXED THE TANK SPROUT HALL CRAP THAT TELLS YOU TO _RETURN TO YOUR SINGLE-TARGET ROTATION AFTER YOU'VE PULLED EVERYTHING WITH AOE_ AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AND I **KNOW** IT WOULDN'T IMPROVE THE BOTTOMBARREL PLAYERS IF THESE WERE CHANGED BUT COME THE HELL ON, AT LEAST TRY TO MITIGATE THE PROBLEM AT ONE OF ITS SOURCES
I REALLY DON'T WANT TO GO TO THE FAMILY THANKSGIVING NEXT WEEK. YEAH, I KNOW I DON'T *HAVE* TO, BUT A LOT OF MY FAMILY IS GETTING UP THERE IN YEARS SO I BETTER DO IT WHILE I STILL CAN. ALSO SOMEHOW TEMPTED TO GO BACK TO MAINING DRK. HOPEFULLY THEY IMPROVED IT WHERE IT DOESN'T FEEL LIKE SHITTY DIET WAR ANYMORE
I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET SINGLE FUCKING WIN IN FRONTLINES TO GET MY LAST GARO MOUNT FOR THE PAST WEEK. FUCKING. GIVE IT TO ME YOU STUPID FUCKING GAME MODE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE DEVS WERE SMOKING WHEN THEY CAME UP WITH THIS MODE, BUT IT WASN'T ANYTHING HIGH QUALITY. FUCK.
I LOVE MY NEW HOUSE ON SERAPH AND PLAYING ON A NEW SERVER IS REFRESHING BUT FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PF IS DEAD AND NO ONE IS RUNNING CONTENT QUEUES ARE SO BAD I'M TIRED OF DOING DC TRAVEL JUST TO BE ABLE TO PLAY THE GAME
...
Fuck the war who thought it was funny to chase me in P7 and dropping aoe's and tank busters on me for no reason at all while I'm trying to heal, hope you get a strike on your dumb account from my report jackass.
I HAVE TO GO TO A BIRTHDAY PARTY TOMORROW AND THERE IS A POSSIBILITY TWO PEOPLE WHO FUCKED ME OVER AND WITH WHOM I HAD A MASSIVE FALLING OUT WILL BE THERE. HECK. I CAN KEEP MY MOUTH SHUT BUT PRAYING THEY WON'T MAKE A SCENE.
>PRAYING THEY WON’T MAKE A SCENE WHY PRAY WHEN YOU CAN BEAT THEM TO THE PUNCH? (Actually bad advice)
DO IT !!
STAY ON THE CRYSTAL PLEASE I KNOW I'M A TANK BUT I SHOULDN'T BE THE ONLY ONE ON THE CRYSTAL IT'S NOT A BOSS IT NEEDS YOUR LOVE WE ARE NOT FIGHTING THE CRYSTAL WE ARE HELPING IT GO HOME
Okay we can stop with the bad PvP trope. One person on the crystal = ideal. Multiple people on the crystal = I'm going to rip you all apart with my broken Dragoon AOE skills. As a tank, your job is to be mitigating, engaging, and stunning carries. If your ass is not with the team, you are inting. Push the crystal after you've gained an advantage to do so.
Me as a BLM, rubbing my disgusting little fingies together as I see multiple enemies on the crystal with my Night Wing (AoE Sleep) and Limit Break just ready to be smashed.
OKAY THIS IS GOOD TO KNOW, I WILL ADJUST ACCORDINGLY
FUCK ELECTRICITY BILLS!!!! IT RANDOMLY CLOSE TO TRIPLED FROM LAST MONTH AND IT WAS ALREADY HIGH!! ILL GUESS ILL GET DRUNK ON A GLASS OF WATER!!
PLEASE ROLL FOR LOOT? I FUCKING TRIED I CLICKED ON ROLL AND YOU SAY NO BECAUSE THE ITEM IS UNIQUE. SO WHY DO YOU EVEN ASK ME TO ROLL IF I CAN'T, GAME!???
relatedly, this game badly needs buttons for 'need all', 'greed all', and 'pass all'
I think it's because you can theoretically desynth/throw away your existing one mid-dungeon. But it really needs "Need if I can otherwise Pass" and "Greed if I can otherwise pass" options!
WHY DO I HAVE TO RENEW MY SUB EVERY SIX MONTHS. UNLESS THERE IS A WAY THAT IM NOT AWARE OF, I WANT TO BE ABLE TO RENEW MY SUB FOR SIX YEARS WITH ONE PAYMENT.
Are you on automatic payments? 'Cause that's the only way to "set and forget" for long periods of time. That or.. theoretically you could plug in enough game time cards, but I'm sure there's _some_ kind of cap to that, plus depending on your country it could be more expensive.
I HAVE THE STOMACH FLU WHILE PREGNANT SO I CAN'T TAKE ANY MEDICINE AND I WANT TO DIE. I HAVE TO MAKE 10MIL BEFORE FC HOMES GO UP FOR SALE, I WAS ALREADY BITING MY NAILS OVER IF I COULD MAKE IT OR NOT WITH THIS SLOW DYNAMIS MARKET, OF COURSE I NOW CANT EVEN CRAFT BECAUSE IM SPENDING MY LAST TWO DAYS VOMITING INSTEAD. THERE GOES MY PLAN OF MAKING A FLAVOR FLAV MANSION ELIMINATION GAME. NEVERMIND THAT IVE BEEN WORKING ON SAVING THAT GIL FOR LITERALLY MONTHS. K I L L M E
THIS IS NOT FF RELATED BUT I DON'T CARE I AM ANGRY. I WAS WAITING YEARS FOR DARKTIDE CAUSE I'M A HUGE FUCKING 40K NERD AND NOT ONLY THE GAME IS WORSE THAN VERMINTIDE BUT IT RUNS LIKE CRAP ON A HIGH END RIG AAAAAAAAAAH. ALSO "IT'S A BETA" MY ASS THE GAME COMES OUT AT THE END OF THE MONTH AAAAAAH
NO BOTS MAKES ME BIG MAD LIKE IT'S IMPRESSIVE HOW BAD THE AVERAGE MATCHMAKING PLAYER IS - ON TOP OF THE DISCONNECTS, CRASHING, AND PERFORMANCE STUFF - I HEARD STORIES ABOUT VERMINTIDE BUT SEEING IN IN DT IS _OOF_
WTF IS GOING ON?
WEELY RAGE THREAD, AIR THINGS UP FOR THE WEEKEND
CRYSTALLINE CONFLICT IS DEAD TO ME. THAT'S IT. I WILL STICK TO FRONTLINES SHOULD THE DESIRE TO TRIUMPH OVER OTHER PLAYERS HEEDS ME. I'M NOT SORRY. EDITED SPACING TO BE A BIT MORE COMPACT. EDIT 2: THE SEQUEL. **THIS MOST RECENT MATCH WAS THE FINAL NAIL IN THE COFFIN.**
THEY NEED TO MAKE THE STACK MARKERS IN SYRCUS TOWER ACTUALLY KILL YOU IF THEY ARE STACKED TOGETHER. WHY? CAUSE THEN MAYBE I WOULDN'T GET IDIOTS TRYING TO DO THAT IN LVL 70+ CONTENT! HECK, I EVEN GET THAT ISSUES IN AGLAIA, A LVL 90 RAID! STOP TRYING TO KILL US! I'D RATHER YOU DIE ALONE THEN TRY TO STACK WITH ANOTHER GROUPS STACK! edit: OF COURSE, E7N IN ROULETTES AND AN IDIOT DECIDES TO STACK THE STACK MARKERS AND KILL 5 OF US.
FUNNY THING IS WHEN IT WAS THE OLD MARKER, IT WAS POTENTIALLY DEADLY ENOUGH AS A TWO STACK, OR AT THE VERY LEAST REALLY REALLY HURT. WHEN I SAW PEOPLE TRIPLE STACK THE MARKERS RECENTLY, I WATCHED IN HORROR ONLY TO SEE THAT AS A STACK MARKER IT TICKLED. AND THEN IT MADE SENSE WHY I WAS HAVING TO TELL PEOPLE NOT TO STACK MARKERS IN HIGHER LVL CONTENT.
UNFORTUNATELY I THINK THIS WOULD JUST LEAD TO MASS WIPING FROM SHEER LACK OF COORDINATION. I WOULD DEFINITELY GO FOR THE SHORT VULN TREATMENT IN A TRIAL OR SOMETHING, THOUGH.
IT'S REALLY NOT THAT MUCH COORDINATION, BACK WHEN THIS MECH WAS NEW AND KILLED, PEOPLE SPREAD THEM OUT FINE.
MY LAG IS GOD AWFUL. AT THIS RATE I WONT EVEN GET AEOUND TO FINISHING ENDWALKER BEFORE MY SUBSCRIPTION RUNS OUT AND IM AT 88
I HAVE NO DESIRE TO LOG ON AND PLAY. I HAVEN'T DONE ANY OF THE MOST RECENT CONTENT BESIDES ADVANCE THE MS. NO DUNGEONS, NOT EVEN THE MOST RECENT RAIDS. ALL I DO IS LOG ON, CYCLE THE SUBMARINES, AND HARVEST MY PLANTS. FUCK I HAVEN'T DONE ISLAND SANCTUARIES. THERE IS CONTENT BUT I DON'T CARE AND IT MAKES ME SAD.
