Was the mount whistle in a separate chest or in with one of the others?Redacted as there are obviously two chests and I was blind with excitement for cool dudes doing a cool thing.

That's my alt DRG, it hasn't even cleared Garuda Extreme.

MNK is a great class but Savage needed every ounce of optimization we could get so I had to play DRG throughout this tier.

MNK feels pretty left behind now. DRK taking care of int down kinda removes our main/only unique use for raids too.

BRD is better for A4S. Not going to delve into mechanic specifics but things are more favorable for the bow wizard.

How full are the Excal FCs? Kind of want to transfer soon, but trying to talk a couple friends into transferring with me (like, 1-3 of them). We've been wanting to start running savage, but we end up having to run with pubs as half our group for everything and hard to find people lately on our server.

TPT is about half full at the moment and afaik they aren't actively purging members from PBC or DGKK right now so come on over and join up. Plus there are tons of cross-FC linkshells to join up to.

Yeah, if you're worried about not enough people in the FCs just remember that you had to say "FCs" as in plural due to running into the 512-player limit multiple times

Well, wasn't worried about not enough people, concern was more "is there enough open room that I could sponsor a couple non-goons in one?"

I think it's so no one's putting out what is effectively a guide to how a successful clear goes before the other groups working on it have a chance for their own first clear. So mostly just a respect thing for the other progression guilds who are close to clearing.

It gives time for the other groups to refine their strategy without outside help. Most of the progression raiders in this game are in it for the puzzle solving and interfering with that process isn't something we want to do.

Welp, gave an A1S PF group a shot tonight and that's probably the fastest I've ever changed my mind from "I think I'm pretty okay at this game, I could probably clear A1S" to "Haha nope I'm entirely fine with being a casual." We got past Faust, but oh man there's so much poo poo going on during Oppressor. Maybe if I wasn't on a PS3 it'd be a bit better but as is I don't plan to take another swing at that, ever.

I don't blame you there. Alexander Savage + increasing real life obligations for many of our members pretty much destroyed our static (and we have been raiding since the first months of First Coil). Alex Savage is no joke and it literally requires everyone to be on their A game in all facets of their role, at least for the moment.

But it sucks, because now I'm at the point where the only thing I was doing for the past few months was raiding and now most of my motivation to continue in the game is gone. Like a terrible high school relationship, the first static breakup is always supposed to go this badly, right?
