How does A3S or whatever compare to hellfire citadel in wow. Are we talking like heroic, easier than heroic but harder than normal, or harder than heroic but easier than mythic?

A3S took 687 pulls to kill. Mythic Archimonde took 470. Granted there is some Apples to Oranges comparison here, but it should give you a good idea.

Chyea posted:"Medium"-core statics really don't have an excuse for being unable to clear A4S other than player skill. Gear is no longer an issue, the strategy is known, the only remaining factor is playing well. What do you consider medium core? How many hours a week? Boris Galerkin posted:How does A3S or whatever compare to hellfire citadel in wow. Are we talking like heroic, easier than heroic but harder than normal, or harder than heroic but easier than mythic? All of savage is on mythic levels of difficulty. However a3s and a4s as seen below are on part with end boss mythic difficulty. Axle_Stukov posted:A3S took 687 pulls to kill. If we had actual boss mods and non poo poo net code I bet a3s attempts would be cut in half. I'm sure chyea could comment better on that. And a lot of archimonde wipes iirc were in the first phase due to not enough dps the first week they got to him. Drizvolta posted:While tanking as a DRK I had a SCH in neverreap complain I was taking too much damage. If I'm in full law gear, avoiding aoes, keeping enemies in front of me to parry, and using cooldowns, is there something else I'm missing? Or is DRK really that fragile even at 60? You were probably fine and that sch is used to the 95% of tanks that are vit heroes that pull one pack at a time. If I was a healer and popped into an exdr where the tank had 20k hp I'd just leave.

Gear is no longer an issue, the strategy is known, the only remaining factor is playing well. Can confirm. Was stuck on A3S for about 6 weeks or so, then we caved in and replaced a bad player in my static, killed A3S. Three weeks later, downed A4S. My static also raided roughly 12 hours per week. White mage/Astro is viable.

I unsubbed from the game, since I haven't played recently. If space is needed in DGKK, Alyssym Rondelet can be removed. Thanks for making me feel welcome, all.

Totally new player here, do enough people play old content that I won't miss out on any story? Also, is there a good lore resource that at least hides spoilers? Like I get no one really remembers what happened during the cataclysm but I'd like to know a little more.

Also you won't have any trouble seeing the ARR content-mechanics are in place to encourage veteran players to revisit them. In fact I'll go ahead and warn you that almost all the expansion is gated behind completing the MSQ quest.

I wasn't planning on even getting the expansion until I finish the content before it. I'm loving it so far, my Thaumaturge looks acceptably black magey even at level 11.

Yeah, they added duty roulettes in the early days of ARR to get leveled players to do older content. The big one is leveling roulette which tries to group roulette players with players that queued for a specific dungeon with a focus on new players doing dungeons for the first time. The roulette gives bonus EXP upon completion, awarding more the bigger the difference between the roulette's character's class level and the dungeon's level so high level players getting a low level dungeon can still get decent EXP from it. If a character is max level in it they'll get endgame currency instead of the EXP bonus. There's similar roulette for other content and they help get high level players to do older content. e2: You'll unlock it once you complete the second dungeon which is around level 16 or so. /e2: It doesn't cover everything though, the ARR/level 50 8-man and 24-man raids don't have a roulette for them. The 8-mans will require you to round up a group to do them (e: there is a queue but I'd imagine the queues are long dead at this point /e:) and the 24-mans require sitting in a queue for an hour. Neither are required to reach the expansion but there is story in both. The roulettes will be slower at this point though. You'll get priority when you do the dungeons for the first time but after that it's the regular queue and the game's currently in a mid-patch lull. Unless you're a tank, then queues are practically instant. Healers might take a bit, DPS have the longest queue times. Scrublord Prime fucked around with this message at 18:15 on Oct 7, 2015 |

I would recommend getting the xpac before you hit 50 that way you'll already be 2.5 levels give or take up on the MSQ.

Don't wait until you finish all of the 2.55 MSQ, get the expansion once you're close to hitting 50. You'll have a really good idea of if you want to keep playing the game once you're in the 40s, so it's a safe point to judge whether or not the expansion is worth it to you. It's been said before, but the reason you want to have the expansion early is so you can unlock the level cap - you have an enormous amount of quests to go through once you hit 50 (as in weeks or even months depending on how often you play), and without the expansion you're basically throwing away a couple levels worth of effort

2.0 is basically a full length JRPG. Then 2.1-2.55 is another full length JRPG. With Heavensward providing a third one.

Gauss Barrel's associated cast time on split shot is throwing me off my game more than I expected. When split is instant at the very least it feels like you have a lot more time to react to a Slug proc during that GCD, compared to when it procs after a cast that completes near the ability queuing window. It's probably just a practice issue but I'm not used to it yet and sometimes have a split queued already when the slug buff pops up. It feels very similar to how Firestarter / Thunderstuck procs would line up now.

It's less that there's not enough content, it's more that if you've been playing since launch you've had over two years to complete the content. In any case, ever wanted to know all about the Draconian language? Because Koji Fox posted an enormous post about it on the Official Forums.

The other big story thing is the Binding Coil of Bahamut, which you can probably get some goons to do with you if you don't mind doing it at level 60 instead of level 50.

There's a lot of content that I haven't covered, it's just that there's not a lot of people doing it right now since it's all level 50 stuff. We did have a good coil session that got a lot of us through last night though! By the way, DGKKers - I noticed that a lot of the chocobos in the stable haven't been doing much - is it possible to maybe start doing an extended push to start leveling each others' birds up?

Unless you are totally fine with sitting in a queue forever (or want to try to get an unholy alliance of goons to do it together) I wouldn't worry about the old 24 person raids until 3.1, as the long queue times is something they said they'd fix, so either there's probably at minimum a new roulette coming for them, and/or it's going to be part of the new relic quests.

If you can grab a few people for a run, I found the 24 person queues aren't so bad. Waiting by yourself is gonna take a real long time, though.

Basically start a queue when you're doing the bear rear end collection side quests. I'm glad they said they'd do something about the 24-man queues. Those are my favorite content in the game and I want to do them again

If you got good reaction time you can hit the procs before the buff actually shows up/highlights on the hotbar because it'll say +whatever on the right side of your character. It's not a big DPS loss to just pretend it's Firestarter and just cast through it though.

If you have ammo and take a Gauss Split shot then immediately queue Slug before the proc shows, will it still properly line up with the proc?

Sounds like we need a 24-man version of Cid's Angels. To nerd out a bit, probably something like Tetraicosa since that seems to be the word prefix version of 24 (like "haxa" for 6) and is apparently used when talking about crystal structures

Either way it's not impossible if you don't mind queuing and then either doing other poo poo like crafting or wandering off entirely (within earshot of the queue noise), but if you hold your proverbial breath for the queue, it won't be very fun.

Yeah, more people doing it would be cool because getting the items for Ironworks weapons would be pretty nice as opposed to gathering all the materials to craft a substandard HQ weapon at 50.

Hey guys, I'm trying to register on ffgoons, and I'm having this weird problem. I filled out the registration page for an account, but when I go to click "Submit Registration" down at the bottom, nothing happens. Like, nothing tries to load, nothing seems to happen at all. It's like I'm clicking on blank space. I tried it with two different browsers, tried reloading the page multiple times, still can't get past this. Any ideas?

I've seen Excalibur open at weirdly "peak" hours while other, smaller servers like Brynhildr were closed. So I have no idea what's going on there.
