I am destined to be stuck on Ravana, I guess. This expansion has been a serious letdown between the ridiculous barrier to flight and somehow being completely unable to get seven people decent at this game together for an unchallenging boss fight.

And don't tell me to ask the guild, I've been completely ignored four loving times.

I'm not Smash Ko, nor have I trolled the guild. I just think it's crazy that I've been asking for help since early access and ignored so often, even when I was persistently annoying. But yeah, that attitude doesn't help, I'll PUG it and suffer. Thanks.

You annoy the poo poo out of people and then cry about it when people don't want to deal with you? You aren't making anybody here feel bad about themselves.

DGKK or PBC? And is this four times of 'hey come help me do this trial' during FC rambling at whatever stupid bullshit, or did you actively annoy them until a group filled? It takes more than asking a single time for people to pay attention and or notice. Whenever I offer to help newbies on doing stuff, I usually take over asking in /fc for them since they are afraid to ask more than once every hour it seems. We don't mind spam, half of FC chat is white noise.

Annoy them until a group fills up. It can be, and does get done multiple times a day. Rage posting on the forums isn't really gonna get you much response other than 'ask the fc' because thats what literally everyone else does.

Got the game, stayed up most of the night last night and Excalibur never opened up which is partly due to the expansion I am sure. The op mentions you can transfer over for about 20 bones, but can you only transfer over while servers are allowing for creation?

Basically I just wanna try this dumb game out :smith:

I'm fairly sure that transfer ignores character creation, because it's what I did to get on Excalibur. Try it and see what happens?

The Allagan were using the Triad as a power source. He hosed with the controls to get more power. We killed him before he could eat them.

They are (possibly) powering the gigantic floating Allagan monstrosity in that zone, and they were used to build Dalamud. I'm hazy on the details already cuz god drat Heavensward dropped so much on you there from Asyz Lla onwards, but I think it's implied or more likely outright stated that Thordan was down there to awaken and enslave the Triad's power for his own uses

The lead-in to the Bismarck/Ravana EX quests has the questgiver exposit that the Warring Triad statues actually literally ARE the Warring Triad who have been been sealed away by the Allagans, but that by using the energy of Azys Lla as part of his ascension the Archbishop has weakened their restraints and they're working to fully break free which would be disastrous. The additional impetus for killing Bismarck and Ravana again is apparently that having them around will speed up the Triad returning to life.

Or a dps for that matter. It's actually a DPS check for people, I learned. I got it for my trial roulette and after five attempts of me herding them through the fight we had to abandon it since the DPS was sleeping or using i90 weapons I suppose.

We had the main tank and a dragoon fall off during my bismarck run and we still managed to one-shot it somehow. I did wipe twice on Ravana before a friend and I managed to convince the DPS to stop tunnel visioning the boss and kill butterflies though.
