Niton posted:There's a large contingent of players who are not only not trying their best, but who are offended by the idea that they should be giving 100% at all times. When they can be carried, they're usually a laughable footnote, but in Alex and Seal Rock, it's frustrating to see how little some people care. I'm alright with people not giving 100% at all times since I don't do the same (in dungeon/roulette anyway, 100% always in raids/trials) but some people are just really weird in their lazyness. SMN's that only cast bio, monks that do nothing but dragon kick, healers that do nothing except heal even when there's one mob left alive that's hitting like a wet noodle etc. It's like 'why did you even queue up if you're not going to put in the effort?'

In main scenario roulette I am not paying any attention to the game at all 90% of the time, and in fact regularly put people on follow and go make a sandwich or use the bathroom. I often get commendations regardless of how obviously I'm phoning it in. But maybe that doesn't count since it's literally the most braindead and easy content in the game. I actually try when I'm doing things that require effort. pandaK posted:I have narcolepsy and literally fall asleep at random, seemingly very frequently during dungeons I've had a few DPS fall asleep in dungeons before. I've never actually had a group that cared enough to kick them though, we just kept going without them and they'd wake up and catch up for a couple pulls then fall back asleep.

I try to give 100% on everything but after grinding a1 for a pedal and getting dps that gets to hard enrage or not being able to roll higher than 40, you get a bit worn out on that exdr you did for a break.

Keep playing the class and getting a feel for how long your casts take and keep an eye on your fire/enochian counters and know at which point you need to sacrifice a cast of fire 4 to toss out a fire or a blizzard 3+4 to keep things up. Also, remember you can use Swiftcast to help get a B3 -> B4 off in a hurry.

Etrips posted:There are three ways to try and get on a high populated server. 1) Attempt to make a character at random times hoping to get in. 2) Make a character after servers come up from maintenance (there is one tonight) 3) Start playing on another server and pay to transfer after 3 days I too am trying to get onto a high pop server (excalibur? the goon server). Is the server transfer guaranteed to work or is it too affected by the restrictions? I am not sure what they are thinking with restricting servers, im not going to play the game if i cannot play with goons. Glad i am only on the trial so far and not paid any money.

My fave part of this entire thing is where they made it so that movement is even more punishing, while flat out just removing ways in which you can avoid having to move, the Manawall change is just pointless and their justification makes my brain hurt. quote:In regards to Shade Shift and Manawall, these both made it so ninja and black mage were impervious to physical attacks, and since future content will have a lot of magic-based attacks, we decided it would be best to change their effects to what they are now to increase the fun of the content. Also the Flare nerf so AoE just gets arbitrarily slowed down for...some reason. But yeah in 2.0 if you had to move I think the worst thing that could happen is you got forced to move during Raging Strikes or something. Besides that it'd just be "Oh Astral fell off, let me hardcast Blizz/Fire 3 depending on my mana and get right back into it." now your dps just loving craters if you need to move a little bit because you're just dropping Fire 4s and your timers are ticking down and that Leyline you put down is just going to waste because that AoE and oh look you got distracted and dropped Enochian go sit in the low dps corner for 30 seconds. PS Casting Leyline + Enochian and immediately getting sent to Quarantine PPS Blizz 4 reaching 0.01s left on cast and getting interrupted because Enochian fell off.

Is there any way to make a macro that switches your Choco between Free Stance and Healer Stance? Right now I'm using /cac "Free Stance" /cac "Healer Stance" and it just wants to keep me in Free Stance unless there's a bit of lag or something and it switches to Healer. e: Eh, right now if I mash it quickly a few times in a row it'll switch. Good enough. Robo Reagan fucked around with this message at 13:05 on Jul 28, 2015 |

Right now I'm using I just made a hotbar on the side of my screen and have all my companion stuff on it. I've got a black choco and a GC choco button that I'll switch back and forth in my middle click spot depending on whether or not I have him stabled. One spot for gyshal greens, another for sylkis bud, spots for free, attack, healer, and tank stance, plus a button for follow and withdraw. Part of the reason your macro doesn't work is because there is no failure action or error if you click free stance while already in free stance. Just drag the buttons off your companion window to a hotbar somewhere and you'll be fine.

A lot of people are mentioning that the alex drop increase not only increased the drops from 2 to 4, but they also made it so that it always drops 1 of each possible drop plus 1 random. I really hope this is true because that would make the search for a specific drop a lot easier.

I'm fighting the urge to pick up the Eso PLD chest this week instead of the sword. I know weapons are the best upgrade, but pretty pretty dress up! I'm not doing Savage at all and haven't started normal Alex yet (though I will be this week) so I know it doesn't REALLY matter other than making it slightly easier on me if I get paired up with DPS that get their weapon next week. I'm thinking of doing chest > sword > shield > pants > gloves > boots > head. Since We PLD's can get the sword in 2 weeks, I'd only really be a week behind the fastest DPS in getting my i200 weapon.
