I'd jump on a boost instantly on one character to see how the expansion looks and to go raiding.

Y'all ready to farm some light?! Rumor has it you have to get a Runic drop from the end of specific dungeons, then infuse the rune with 3 of an item bought for 1000 lore each, then seal it by farming light. Then start the process over on the next Rune. They must be done sequentially. No one actually knows what the next step is.

So from the discussions here I'm getting that, as a newer player, I'll have to play through the entirety of the level 50 story to get to Heavenward. What does that entail? It's monumentally stupid either way but I might just straight stop playing if those quests require doing a raid or time locked grinds.

No time locked grinds, there's a few mandatory 8mans and dungeons but even as a DPS there's never more than a 5-10 min wait. The game does a good job of rewarding higher level players for doing older content so there's never a shortage of people in the queue. There's an 8man at the end of the story that might be considered a raid but the mobs and bosses die so fast that by the time you finish the introduction cut scene the death scene is playing.

There's 2 dungeons and some trials in there, but that's it.

It's the same experience from 1-50 and the quality varies as did the grind from 1-50. Heavensward picks up after Patch 2.5, not after 2.0. All raids are optional. However, both of the 2.0 raids are hilariously easy at this point, are likely to have slower entry times (except CT on a bad day as a dps), and have good stories so they're worth doing. If only to take a break from doing *insert thing I don't like here*. I don't know what a time locked grind is though.

Thumbtacks posted:What do you mean? Debuffs can be hard when you're in a SMN/SCH heavy 24 man but in general you should be keeping Dragon Kick and Devastate up as part of your key combo (devastate, ~2 snap punches, devastate.) Fist of Death's a bit harder to time since it's usually only worth it on bosses (everything else dies too fast.) For when you're partied with another MNK, green debuff icons are yours, grey is others. You'll probably be trading off Dragon Kick's but everything else should have a separate icon.

I haven't played Machinist so I don't know how they are quality wise but as far as I know they don't "suck", it's just more that their gameplay is poo poo because it revolves around only getting to do any actual damage when Wildfire comes off cooldown.

On the flip side, their post-50 castbar mechanic works way better with the rest of their job mechanics than bard's equivalent does.

new famitsu interview, slightly spoilery stuff new relic steps 3.5 - 270 "will be kinda hell" 3.55 - 275 "easy and casual" aether oil and umbrite steps will be nerfed jump potions most feedback are people worried about people not knowing rotations, but people who level through fates and the like don't know anyway will be 2 msq potions, one to skip 2.55 and one to skip 3.55. they won't be released at the same time misc stuff new 24 man won't have gobdip until 3.55 zurvan will drop weapons AFTER the germany fanfest, 24 man proto ultima trial - drops accessories bird mount drops up to sophia will be nerfed (probably means increased) 4.0 will be the end of current style of relics, expect acquiring them to be much different new diadem secret dungeon will have different mechanics from 24 man raids (parties splitting up and going different routs to open new progression paths) feedback from diadem will affect eureka (they're the same but different) new "lucis" tools are achievement only because previous 2.x crafting difficulty to acquire them was too "intensive"

I would play Neverreap 9 times out of 10 over ARF. It's a fast and easy dungeon (faster than fractal, actually!), and even as a BLM it's not hard to keep your DPS over 1k for the final boss. I think people just hated it because of how long it was 1 of 2 EXDR dungeons during 3.0.
