So the game is too easy, but giving us savage mode is bad because it just exposes how easy the rest of the game is?

People on the official forums are really really dumb.

I wish there was a way to configure ACT to better handle new encounters and encounter resets. Set one way I have like five Oppressor or Ravana "encounters" in the list to click through, but correcting that makes it not reset between trash pulls. Not a big deal really but it's, er, nice to easily see that the SMN in fractal is doing 550 in a three-pull because "three isn't worth using aoe" :cripes:

No. There either isn't a way to detect end of combat or the person doing the FF14 plugin has other stuff to do than implement it.

Not automatically but you can force it to start a new encounter from within the game by using /e end. You can set it to a macro and hit it between encounters.

I mean you could use a melded patrician set in 2.0, but it was much much easier to do two star stuff with your crafting AF. They didn't release multi class high end crafting gear for a few patches after.

It seemed a lot easier to make the crafter AF, though, since it was only 1-star. And you could get a 100% success rate on HQing 2-star 80 durability crafts with a set of fully overmelded jewelry plus the crafter AF with a few grade I materia in it, and fully overmelding your jewelry wasn't that bad since you only needed to use grade Is for the last few slots.

Not gonna lie, that's the point in the game where crafting was the most appealing to me--you could graduate from Hasty Touch spam and Rapid Synthesis was considered a garbage skill. Then 3/4-star crafting came and messed it all up.

An in-game echo? I guess that makes sense since it's watching the logs. Cool. Is that configurable / mentioned anywhere in ACT?

Again im saying use influences from FFXI that where good afterall it was FFXI that was SE MMORPG flagship not WoW.
Why should you get a freepass and handout for the relics for example? Its a pure disrepect to everyone that devoted countless of hours and million of gils on their weapon for it to completly get useless with one expansion it shouldnt be like that at all. Even during the abyssea days of FFXI your Excalibur or other relics etc where still working. This is one of many examples but this one is the easiest one to show in detail. I wont reply anymore to this because I have seen how MANY players agree with what Ive said in my first message in other threads. I like FFXIV I don't want to leave but at the same time I don't want to get punished for devoting time and see how others get praised and can catch up for playing less. Find a balance instead of catering to one side only.

This guy hasn't played FFXI in ages has he

because the game is getting easier and easier in order to let everyone experience all the content without putting too much time into the game since they're making their last update in a couple months.

What are you doing where you run out of TP?

I mean, like, are you using any MP abilities? Is this during boss fights or just dungeon trash?

Just depends on how long the fight goes. By about two and a half minutes of continuous fighting I'm down to running on fumes. You can only do so much on-GCD stuff that only expends MP, and doing that you're eventually gonna be dry on both. :(
