DizzyBum posted:Where's the data on this being posted? I'm planning to main MCH come hell or high water and I'd like to know what I'm in for. It's still kind of vague but there's enough reports of MCH falling behind pretty badly in parses from several cases in different places. I can also sorta speak from experience, I've had several situations where I was just stuck spamming my first attack for a good 10+ attempts while waiting for CDs.

I just got another email from GMG this morning with two 4-4-4-4 codes. I enter the first one, and it says it's already been used. (I assume that's the one I entered for EA) I enter second one, and it says it's not valid... I'm probably loving up on where I'm entering the second code

Arrgytehpirate posted:I got Wanders Minute last night and it's loving terrible. If I wanted to play a god drat caster I'd be BLM. You should probably go beyond just Minuet to have an opinion on the ability. Minuet gives you access to a couple of abilities that are very strong and give you more off GCDs to use so you can move between shots if you need to while still doing damage. Bard needed the damage boost, but being able to do high damage and basically ignore the consequences of any mechanic at the same time would have been overpowered. There are ways to get around mobility issues, and the cast times aren't that bad.

Pretty much every job feels bad / weird / gimped / not the fotm until you get 60. Do you forget how lovely your rotations were pre-50? Just keep leveling and it'll make sense at the end.

So my net connection has been degrading bit by bit over the past couple of weeks until even with wtfast I can't guarantee doing something as simple as keeping greased lightning up on a stationary target The lag presents itself mostly through me hitting an ability, watching it go off, and then the server deciding that I didn't do that and moving me backward in rotation. And then sometimes big spots of rubber band lag. I'm gonna call the ISP today to try and get it fixed but if anyone has any idea what the problem could be so that I could better describe it to them Id appreciate it

I'm only at 54, but sure like ley lines and sharpcast seems like it'll be fun to learn how to properly use. also, nice av. Fredrika owns

KaneTW posted:F4 changes a lot. While until 58 you just get some oGCD buffs and it still feels (barring MP fuckery) more or less like 50 BLM, F4 changes literally everything. Fire is delegated to refreshing stacks and Sharpcast is used in conjunction with leylines to get 3 F4 in before stacks expire. Also, Swiftcast is now an actual DPS cooldown. It's a lot of variables but overall really fun. Enocian is a 30 second buff with a 1 minute cooldown. With the refreshing of the buff you get, under ideal circumstances, I'm assuming you can have 100% uptime of Enocian? I'm really excited about hitting 60 on BLM but I'm also kinda nervous about how difficult the rotation will be to keep up and what it means for someone like me who tends to occasionally make a stupid mistake.

Anyone here run the non-Steam client through Steam and get the overlay working? On my old PC it wouldn't show that I was playing the game at all, with my new one it does but I still have no overlay but my wife right next to me does under almost identical circumstances.

I've been kind of hesitant about leveling BLM to 60 first since I've heard some doubts about it, but holy lord I just got ley lines at 52 and it's ridiculously fun. Seems like BLM and WAR are in good fun places, definitely be my first 60s.

I thought it was going to be yet another cooldown, but it turns out it's a complete game changer instead. I am excite

The code GMG sent out this morning is definitely not a pre-order code since it's not 18-digit, not sure what's wrong there.

Hivac posted:It's still kind of vague but there's enough reports of MCH falling behind pretty badly in parses from several cases in different places. The problem MCH has even at 60 is that a chance-based proc combo was a bad idea designed make you use reload to which means your actual honest to god combo is on a loving cooldown which is kinda baffling. On top of that MCH brings very few things to the table that BRD doesnt already do without doing them better. Which is lovely. I love this class's style and I want to play it, but we're talking beyond outlier progression MCH problems I mean these are problems you can see with the class all the way from Haukke Manor to Turn 13. Reload and Clean Shot combo are just loving boned and they need to make them more consistent to START making MCH a worthwhile class outside of It Looks Cool and I Like Shooting Thing With a Gun (both good reasons imho) One thing i will say is that Wildfire and Lead Shot apparently aren't being counted in parses which I think is part of the problem but not all of it Kitfox88 posted:

On top of that MCH brings very few things to the table that BRD doesnt already do without doing them better. I've been looking up information on this because I'm at school and bored between classes, and some people are saying that you need to get gauss barrel before you can really judge MCH DPS because it's a big game changer, which is to be expected. The problem with that is that right now gauss barrel is a dps decrease because you trade about 30% of your dps in AAs for 20% increased damage on abilities. I'm not great at math, though, so maybe it really does even out at some point. Maybe you can drop guass barrel after dropping dots and your ammunition combo with some cooldowns and then put it back on when you've gotten a proc and your ammo back? Also you still need to have balanced damage in low level content because they want everyone to be regularly going back and doing old content, so having a dps just be lovely at everything before 52 isn't cool. Last night I did a stone vigil run that took more than 45 minutes to finish with two Machinists. We didn't wipe on anything, and I wasn't pulling any differently than I do for other groups that take in the neighborhood of 30 minutes or so. It's been pretty consistent across all of the lower level dungeons that I've done for DRK that having a machinist in the group means the dungeon will take an extra 5-10 minutes, and having two of them guarantees it'll take an extra 15 or so. DRK feels like it's doing about the damage of a WAR, but even if I was just spamming flash for threat and doing no damage at all it wouldn't account for that much extra time. On the other hand, DRK is baller as hell, definitely an A++ would roll again class.

The 2nd key is a new key, but is also returning an "Invalid Key" error. They might not be active yet. Oh okay, I figured it out. Don't use the "Enter Item Code". You want to use the big red button that says "Enter Expansion Code". Location of button is highlighted below. Mine says "Enter Upgrade" since I already redeemed the key. Good luck.

It's like when apple makes some feature that's so simple and intuitive you just don't think of it unless someone tells you. It took me like a year to find out that double tapping the circle button brings up all of the active processes on my iphone. It's a pretty humbling moment.

I'm sure it's more tolerable once you get everything, but that probably won't change my real problem with it

Funnily enough, I gave up on MCH at level 52 because my damage kept continuing to fall off even after getting Gauss Barrel. I cleared the Halatali quest in about half of the amount of time on 51 DRG that it took for me to make it to the end on MCH and die.
