Because banning people for not breaking the rules is messed up? And it's not even a technicality - the tools are built into the game to prevent it from happening. If they ban people who do that, they might as well ban ice BLMs or people that don't use job stones. Or people that mess up boss mechanics.

And MMOs have vague, open rules precisely so that if they feel the need to ban some toxic player they can point to a part of the EULA or some other broadly written policy and say "you violated X now  "Though in this case the act of just emptying a guild chest is unlikely to cause GMs to react without a bunch of negative press forcing them to do so.

The game gives the players all the tools they need to prevent this. the other reason they won't get involved is because it sets a precident to be a scumbag fc leader, invite a player to your fc, then after they take something from an open tab kick them out and report them for stealing they wont get involved and the best thing you can do is ignore him since he's after attention

I'm trying to reinstall this game since my old HDD fried and it refuses to patch for some reason. Keeps giving me an unable to download patch files error. Tried the DNS and VPN switches the o forums suggested but drat if this game just doesn't want me to play ever again.

Tonight on Newbie Permagroup Blind Instance Run: Let's kill Stupidbeard (Ramuh Hard mode) Group: WHM (me), WHM, MNK, SMN, and four Duty Finder folks Not an ideal healing situation, but we've done trials with two WHM before. You just have to communicate a little more and be a bit more proactive since there are no shields. As usual, we warned the pubs that we were new to the fight and hadn't looked it up beforehand. No issues there. We engaged the boss, and it's an extremely straightforward fight until the adds. The only interesting element is the fear effect, which Esuna doesn't seem to clear. We figured out that it breaks if you take damage, so we started using those little lightning rings to get the feared people blasted by lightning. I don't know if that's the intended method, but it worked. Then the adds popped up. Our Monk broke off her attack and went after adds, while our Summoner got feared. We were having issues getting a ring to him because he was pretty far from everyone else. Speaking of everyone else, none of them went after the adds. So eventually Ramuh called down a giant lightning bolt and killed half the group. Fun! We kept going and got to the part with the lightning tethers, and figured out the rather obvious mechanic of breaking it with the lightning orbs. Easy. We eventually died to attrition since so many people had gone down and we'd used a bunch of mana raising people (a few of whom died again). Attempt #2, we decided to direct things despite not having done it before. We politely told everyone to kill the adds, and that seemed to work. We did have one tank die somehow toward the end (not really sure -- she went from full to dead on my screen), but otherwise it was very smooth. I got four commendations (pretty awesome since our pre-made group was the other four). I guess I healed okay! So, we killed Stupidbeard. Yay! Fortunately, it looks like the next storyline instance is a dungeon, which are far more interesting to me, and more fun to write up.

WhiteHowler posted:Tonight on Newbie Permagroup Blind Instance Run: Let's kill Stupidbeard (Ramuh Hard mode) It's been an age since I fought Ramuh (Hard), but based on what I remember of the mechanics, I'm guessing the tank died to his Tankbuster attack. It hits ridiculously hard and unless you take it with every cooldown you can manage you'll die... unless you've absorbed 3 (I think) lightning orbs, than the damage becomes manageable.

Does Ramuh Hard have the tankbuster that EX has? The mechanic for Extreme is that you want the tether-cancelling buff on the tank because it's a lightning-cancelling buff and his big hit is also lightning. That could be what killed the tank.

Sounds like your tank got too many stacks of debuff, which will wipe them out instantly. You needed to swap tanks before that happens. Of course, since you had pub tanks they should have known that. Edit: for the tankbuster you need a specific number of stacks to survive. Kwyndig fucked around with this message at 04:27 on Nov 10, 2016 |

The boss especially is pretty easily soloable if you know the mechanics, but gets progressively more difficult if you have anyone in your group failing to dodge properly because getting hit by In Health powers up her room wide aoe in addition to healing her.

MNK opener question - is it better to go Demolish > Snap > Snap or Snap > Snap > Demolish? I've seen variations on both, not sure if it makes a significant difference either way. I generally Demolish just for the few ticks before I refresh it.

I'm pretty new to the game, but I just managed to unlock glamours which is probably the only thing I care about. Palace of the Dead makes leveling far more enjoyable compared to anything else so far as a paladin. It also helped me pay for cool dyes and weapons and things.

I'm really starting to like how the weekly for the new relic quest forces you to run Leveling roulette. Got a party for Copperbell mines with a total newbie playing LNC. Got to explain how Limit Break works to him; seemed pretty happy when I described the Dragoon LB3 visual to him.

The 1-2 ticks you get will miss out on GL plus any buffs you popped between GCDs. The GL2 buff effectively gives you 10 extra potency per tick. Its almost always better to get all your buffs up before you apply dots. EDIT: corrected some things. Mr. Nice! fucked around with this message at 15:29 on Nov 10, 2016 |

Due to gear sync, dots and pets and MT dps can do this so literally everyone needs to not hit him at all until the adds are dead.

Basically everyone does this exact opener: Demolish +Perfect Balance > Snap Punch + Blood for Blood > Snap Punch+Internal Release > Dragon Kick + Potion > Twin Snakes + Elixir Field > Snap Punch + Howling Fist > Touch of Death + Steel Peak > Bootshine+Shoulder Tackle > True Strike + The Forbidden Chakra > Demolish If you do demolish third instead of first, you gain 22.4 potency on the initial hit of demolish, plus 16 potency per tick, at the cost of an average 75 potency from missing 1.5 ticks at the start, and 57.6 potency from unbuffing that snap punch. Since you have to reapply at the same time to get your next demolish into your cooldown window, you only get 4.5 of the GL2+B4B ticks, for 72 total potency. 22.4+72 < 75+57.6. Demolish first is better. VHGS fucked around with this message at 17:12 on Nov 10, 2016 |
