Several MSQ trials also checkpoint. The level 79 trial and the 5.3 trial definitely do, and I believe the capstone 5.0 trial does as well since the healthbar resets, but not totally sure about that one. Come to think of it I guess you could view the two-phase fights in the Praetorium and the 3.0 capstone dungeon as having checkpoints, though it feels a bit different. jalapeno_dude fucked around with this message at 10:03 on Feb 4, 2022 |

bi crimes posted:Pulled the 84 trial in trial roulette today. Last time I played it, I wiped for 90 minutes in a group, then in my next group, I put a marker on my character and told everyone to follow my lead. That was for EW and I haven’t done the fight in the month or two since. This time, no wipes and one shot easily with no marker lead on my head. Did people learn the trial, or is this due to me having recently transferred to a new data center? I left Crystal for Primal The trial basically just requires 1 healer to live through the intermission mechanic to avoid a wipe (or a couple rezzers but the timing will be tighter). Groups with more than 2 or 3 new people total are very rare at this point so it's just a matter of not getting unlucky with that.

Hommando posted:You shouldn't regen the tank until they've stopped pulling, it can make aggroing all of the mobs annoying because they run after the healer. If the healer is doing their job and stacking on the tank, then taking a first round of autos instead of the tank is just free mitigation. That said there is basically no reason to use regen in high level dungeons, use that GCD while running to stick a dot on something instead.

Antivehicular posted:On the subject of Triple Triad, is there any way to get cards out of your inventory besides going through the tutorial and, I guess, getting the card bank or whatever? I don't really want to do TT stuff, especially since I have enough distractions in this game as stands, but I got a few cards from Heaven-on-High and it'd be nice to get those inv slots back. Lots of people already replied but no one has pointed out the specific vendor who buys your cards. It's the Triple Triad Trader just to the right of the Mini Cactpot Vendor you talk to every day. Note that, sensibly, the trader will only buy copies of cards you've already added to your deck. Selling cards is probably my third biggest MGP source. The crystal tower cards have very high drop rates and are all worth 1500 MGP, so there's a bit of compensation for rolling them in roulette.

Rand Brittain posted:it can be completely destroyed, as Emet-Selch's was This is totally wrong. (spoilers through EW) We see Emet-Selch's soul return to the lifestream after the 5.0 end trial, and if somehow you failed to pick up on this in the moment or from 5.3, the Tales from the Shadows story + the EW plot make this explicit. Elidibus's soul was trapped as a result of 5.3, but not destroyed, and it seems pretty clear that it also returned to the lifestream after we returned from Elpis. We've only seen two, possibly three, souls get destroyed: the Sahagin priest in 2.x, Igeyorhm in 3.0, and possibly Lahabrea (possibly in 3.0 when Thordan absorbs it into the eye, or maybe in 4.0 when Estinien destroyed the eye, but honestly maybe when the eye was destroyed it was released into the lifestream).

Gobbeldygook posted:Yesterday I subbed into someone's static that uses with a solo scholar healer for P1S and P2S reclears and while it was totally fine for P1S, P2S required them spend so much time planning out cooldown rotations that it was a clear case of false economy. also they weren't just looking for a tank but only for a warrior, which is the sort of thing square should be extremely concerned about. It seems totally reasonable for a static looking for a single sub for one night to want the same job as you're filling in for. Saves having to replan cooldown usage.

Fiye posted:Now I want to see what happens when you touch SMN at 80+ when you don't have bahamut. Are you just never allowed to summon phoenix or do you always summon phoenix? The wording of the Enhanced Summon Bahamut trait is "Upgrades Summon Bahamut to Summon Phoenix when Demi-Bahamut returns from summoning." Since that can't happen without using Summon Bahamut once, I assume you just keep using Dreadwyrm Trance.

The lyrics of Flow are pretty clearly being sung to someone who is now dead. You aren't the "brave little spark", but it might be Emet, Hermes, Minfilia, or (comedy option, but also how it's framed in the music video) Zenos.

No, sadly the baby troll isn't at the end of the quest chain, but instead is an incredibly rare untradeable/unsellable dungeon drop that *also* happens to be required to spawn the Labyrinthos S rank.

As usual, the optimal position to be in for learning savage fights is "worst person in the static but not quite so bad that they kick you", because when you die it's a chance to learn from your mistakes but when other people die it's a tedious waste of time.

I'm trying to buy Pneumite, but none of the vendors I'm talking to that are supposed to have it (like Auriana in Mor Dhona) have it. Do I need to do something to unlock it? Yes, get your first anima weapon up to the stage you'll need it. This is true for a bunch of the required mats.

DanielCross posted:How possible is it to blind prog Omega Savage on the Party Finder nowadays? Specifically, O8S. I'm playing through this game with my SO, and FFVI is their favorite game ever, so I wanna do the Kefka Fight with them with the full transition into Final Boss Kefka...but I don't want to spoil that transition for them by us having to watch/read a bunch of guides before we go into it. If you're doing it unsynced because you just want them to see the transition, music, etc., it should be very easy, just make sure to put "we're blind" in the PF description. If you're doing it synced it's gonna be a hassle.

It's not a proper MMR because you can't go down in tier, so if you didn't start playing right away you're going to be placed in matches with a combination of other people who just started playing and awful players.

Vitamean posted:It's always a little bit annoying when I read this, because in my experience Frontlines is the most influenceable out of the three PvP modes. I've seen plenty of matches pushed from 3rd place due to a good shot caller wrangling the team into key positions and keeping them aware of the battlefield with macros. Obviously it's not guaranteed - nothing about PvP is - but even in a match with no one taking charge you can help guide people by calling out situations like an incoming pincer from the other two teams. you made the classic thread mistake of taking a Cleretic post seriously

Bloody Emissary posted:I did that this week (moved ahead of time just far enough to dodge the punches, that is) and felt like a god. Either the order in which the arms move forward after the back slams is always the same, or my wrong impression on that front was coincidentally right for that particular run! In general the first few mechs of normal aren't randomized even when they could be. For example p8 always starts snake then bird even though the opposite would teach the mechanic just as well. Same with Shadowkeeper's front/back cleave in Eden.

blatman posted:thank u for not wiping groups in stone vigil, dzemael darkhold frog canyon, bardam's mettle, holminster switch first hallway and sometimes zot right before the last boss I'm grinding out the mentor roulette mount, so I've tanked all these dungeons a billion times. Notes: Stone Vigil is easier since the revamp last patch. You're still not supposed to go past the first room on the first pull, but now you can get up to the boss in two easy double pulls without worrying about wandering mobs. (In theory you could do everything between the second and third boss in one single pull but I've never been crazy enough to do that, or seen anyone else try. Maybe with double dancer + AST but those ice sprites are spicy and arm's length doesn't work on them.) DD frog canyon is tricky but I wouldn't do it with a sprout healer. Bardam's got hit hard by the EW stat scaling. I haven't had any trouble with it since then. Holminster Switch first hallway is fine because the tank should be using their invuln on the first pull to get it off cooldown. The second pull I might break up into two small pulls if the first big pull dies slowly. The two pulls between the second and last boss of Zot are a little spicy by comparison to the rest of the dungeon, but again one of those pulls the tank should be using an invuln on. Vanspati loving sucks because there are a billion mandatory single pulls. I've never seen a wipe on anything other than the last boss (if the healer dies and there are no rezzers). jalapeno_dude fucked around with this message at 07:31 on Sep 24, 2022 |
