Fister Roboto posted:I can understand doing it for normal primals, since a lot of those are required for story progression and also not nearly impossible for random level-synced newbies. Might as well put savage coil in there. Contrary to several recent posts, Coil (normal or savage) is not included. Mentor roulette includes: Everything in leveling roulette Everything in main scenario roulette Everything in level 50 roulette Everything in level 60 roulette Everything in expert roulette Everything in guildhest roulette Everything in trial roulette 2.x trials that aren't in trial roulette (ex primals, Odin, Ultima) 24-player raids (2.x and 3.x) Normal-mode Alex raids Mentor roulette does not include: 3.x trials that aren't in trial roulette (ex primals, Thordan, Nidhogg) Coil raids (normal or savage) Savage-mode Alex raids Anything PvP And honestly, with the exception of the boldfaced line, it's a perfectly good split between what should and should not be included. The roulette (otherwise) includes things that you can realistically expect to mentor a group of random newbies through because it's aimed at The Casual Masses, and it excludes things that you can't expect that because they're aimed at a higher caliber of player. e: Few clarifications Vil fucked around with this message at 19:53 on Jun 20, 2016 |

I remember finally beating Odin through duty finder groups way back before Heavensward as a SCH. The other healer was also a SCH. It was a miracle we got through that, given how AoE healing intensive the fight is.

Vil posted:Contrary to several recent posts, Coil (normal or savage) is not included. Yeah, it's kind of weird, because they seem to be intent on letting Coil just rot with no reason to go back to it, while they added systems to give players a reason to go back to the level 50 dungeons (XP/Tomestones) and the level 50 24-player raids (the relic quest). And then they threw the Ex Primals into Mentor Roulette for whatever reason, and the Nexus Kettle quest requires some Ex Primals too. But not Coil, it's just been left entirely alone so no one bothers to run it any more.

Coil has crafting items to let you create replica coil gear, and music sheets. It's not part of roulettes and not required for any relic steps but there are definitely reasons you might want to go in there, either to get poo poo for yourself directly or to make some money off poo poo other people want even if you don't. The item needed to create replica final coil (dreadwyrm) gear's legs, in particular, is going for like a million gil apiece on my server. Doubtless this is unrelated to the very low waistline on the monk, ninja, healer, and caster pants.

To me there's a lot to do because I have been on a pretty long hiatus

Mordiceius posted:http://www.mmorpg.com/gamelist.cfm/...ation-More.html i dunno this is news to me quote:Yoshida also said that a later update will also introduce a system to build premade parties across servers complete with a chat system to allow players from different servers to communicate together. The chat system should be arriving in update 3.5, but there's no word on when the premade cross-server matching will be introduced. While some might see this as a negative addition because it diminishes the need for players to play with those on their same server, this could also be the first steps of Final Fantasy XIV moving towards some variation of a megaserver, which are typically much better if handled well. As someone with friends all over different servers it would honestly be great if I could at least chat with them.

Why do people in Weeping City seem to think a group of healers and tanks who keep dying and being reraised due to Brink of Death should spend 20 minutes trying to finish Calofisteri from 15% instead of just wiping and killing her in 5 minutes with 24 people. No one ever raised a DPS, because they were too busy raising and reraising tanks and healers (and most of the DPS had said "gently caress it" and returned to the entrance anyway) We ended up wiping at 2% and redoing the entire fight in less than half the time it took them to get her from 15% to 2%

I'd say it's unique to 24-mans, but that's only because you have enough people to see it at work. Basically the concept of "looks like a wipe, clean it up" is just very hard to grasp?

Most people died so we said eh and wiped, except this WAR from C. Who insisted on doing his rotation thing for another 10 minutes, and apparently she does fuckall damage if you don't stand in bad so he just kept self healing.

Does someone have a 100% clear understanding how the Raid ID/save works for Midas Savage raids? Because I need confirmation on something. I'm in a situation where I gave my static two weeks of advance for them to find a replacement Bard/Machinist. Our static raids on Saturdays/Sundays and we usually clear M1S and M2S on Saturday. In the meanwhile, I'd like to - as much as possible - help a fairly fresh, lesser progressed static progress in Midas. However, as far as we understand, I'd be boning my own static of loot on M1S if I even *entered* M2S before my static enters M1S - the static I'd be helping would be subbing a ranged for M1S and clear it before me. This is assuming I can even enter M2S with not having cleared M1S during the reset. Raid finder also changed the ID system a bit to my knowledge. So to our understanding, my only choices for helping that other static would be on either Sunday before or after my own raid has cleared M1S and (most likely) M2S and on Monday before the weekly reset. M2S kill wouldn't be immediate so they aren't really bothered about my ID screwing them of loot.

Dessel posted:Does someone have a 100% clear understanding how the Raid ID/save works for Midas Savage raids? Because I need confirmation on something. At least before raid finder, entering a later floor if you hadn't cleared the previous one meant giving up all loot opportunities, including manifesto pages. If you go into A6S with this other static, you will count as having cleared A5S and as a result reduce the rewards for your Sat/Sun static to one chest (assuming nobody else cleared). As far as I can tell, raid finder forces you to clear each floor in order before queuing into the next one (don't quote me on this, I haven't used the RF to queue fully pre-formed parties, so I might be missing an option somewhere.) If you want to give your current static full loot from A5S, your only option is to clear it with them, then help your second static with A6S afterwards.

Dragoons can easily tank whatever bosses/trash mobs the dungeon throws at them, if the healer is doing his job. Or even if the healer is not doing his job if they're outgearing the content. The last few times I've seen a tank doing this the healer himself vote-kicked him out, because it's really boring to deal with divas. There's nothing more annoying than healers/tanks/dps trying to prove a point instead of just playing the game normally. Elentor fucked around with this message at 14:56 on Jun 21, 2016 |

Hi pals, here's an unreasonably complicated question! I have a PS4 licence for ARR and HW, but only ARR on PC. I know that if I redeem the licence on PS4 I won't be able to access the content on PC, but will my PC be able to gain experience at level 50? If that character reaches 51, will they become unplayable on PC? Or will I simply earn no experience when playing with only the ARR licence? (To cut a long story short I'm holding out for a sale on the HW PC licence but want to know whether it's safe to redeem my PS4 one) Thanks!

Honestly I'm willing to forgive pretty much any flaw as long as the tank doesn't wait 60 seconds after every pull, and then ready check, wait another 60 seconds, then finally move

Seriously, most DPS classes have buffs that they need to maintain or juggle in combat, and if you're moving along at a decent pace then they're going to want to keep it going. You're basically trying to punish them for being good at the game.

Generally as a tank, I'll just shrug and roll with anything, though it does make me twitch a bit when someone "helpfully" runs ahead and pulls another pack, in a party that's clearly been neglecting its AoE DPS up to this point. If the DPS are annoyingly insistent on single-targeting everything down anyway no matter how many things there are, big pulls do gently caress-all and you might as well keep pulls smaller so there's more opportunity for dishonest healers to contribute damage. Now granted, most of the time the DPS do have at least some semblance of competence and will try to AoE when they can, so most of the time it's as big a pull as I'm comfortable with between my own unsquishiness, the healer's throughput, and (usually the limiting factor) the DPS's kill speed thus far.

I'm happy Tornado Kick is there so my Greased Lightning stacks don't just fizzle out, but I'd rather keep them rolling. Granted, with recent dungeons I haven't seen many TP issues. Usually there's a forced lull to recuperate.
