For anyone considering getting into the game now in preparation for Stormblood, Humble Bundle has FFXIV + Heavensward for PC for $19.79.

Also can just get either one for $9.99.

I picked up just ARR because I don't think I'll make it to the HW content before Stormblood, and Stormblood comes with HW anyway.

The best gpose instruction manual I can find is this:

/gpose will continually repeat your last emote. You have to exit and open /gpose each time you want to change
/sit will reset it back to idle
num* will open a special effects tab that's pretty self explanatory
1 will pause all actors
2 will pause the selected actor
space will have actors face you

If I really enjoy the GW2 and Rift style of open world events and social activities like that, is there anything in FFXIV endgame like that? All I see in streams is people doing dungeons or raids, and while that is cool, I also enjoy just loving around doing whatever dailies and events are going on.

FATEs are something similar to GW2 events but I think that's a thing GW2 does better. Have you looked at ESO? Great for just walking around and looking for things to do, I can't imagine myself doing this in XIV.

Hunts will scratch that itch, too. The lower rank hunting bills have you just go take out some general world monsters, where the higher rank Hunts will have you take on named mobs. A and S rank hunts are like big world bosses, and you don't need to pick up a hunting bill ahead of time, so you can jump in when you see them.

Yeah I wouldn't play this game for engaging open world content, all the endgame stuff of note is instanced. As far as open world stuff goes, You have FATEs which work pretty similarly to Rift, but outside of the handful of big boss battle ones the rewards for doing them are pretty slight after you hit level cap. There are open world hunts which you can totally gear yourself up via, but its not so much an activity as hearing a monster has spawned, teleporting to a place, and killing it. And then there's Diadem which is instanced but is one big zone full of players that it groups you up to do FATEs with.

Caster LB on the last big pull before Mr. Sloppy in Baelsar's Wall definitely speeds things up. I also tend to do it in Sohm Al Hard on one of the pulls with two Lava Oozes (or whatever they're called) and no one's complained.

For Sohm Al hard I caster LB the second set of adds on the last boss just because it makes everything vastly easier to deal with.

Yeah, same. It's not really a hard fight but using a caster LB there just trivializes it entirely.

Give everyone an individual bar that can do a level 1 LB. Maybe LB2 on certain bosses.

I want them to go further and let everyone have a super unique LB3 that isn't as powerful individually as the current LB, but is tailored for them, so like Monk can unlock access to GL4 for 30 seconds, and attacks in GL4, on top of being faster and hitting harder, give you back TP. Ninja could just have their mudra cooldowns unlocked so you can throw out ninjutsu as fast as you can mash em out. Summoner can summon a bunch of egis and swarm someone under, or they summon all of their egis including a bahamut egi and fuse them together into an egi voltron. Black mage gains access to a new spell that just fuses all of their current black mage spells into a shitfucker actual spell for 30 seconds, or just let them cast flare without cost for a little while, and let them change flare to single target if they're in umbral and it's just a giant ice spike.

Paladin can have the current LB3 because who loving cares about paladins.

Just, something that's really cool and involves you actually doing something instead of essentially watching a cutscene with a lovely camera.

Buffed to the point that WHM now exist in a state of "a welcome contribution but people shade towards AST for the increased raid utility".

That's sort of a bummer, I loved seeing how WHM played. I may have to jump back into the game to give AST a try however.

EDIT: On a side note, I've recently moved to Hawaii, would I be fine playing on one of the NA servers or do I need to play on a JP one?

There's the butler costume too, but that was a limited time thing last year. Depending on your class some of the shire sets have an over-fancy vaguely victorian sort of formal look to them too. I mean the caster one has a top hat and monocle. :wotwot:

This reminds me of the exdr with a mnk and brd yesterday. The MNK only ever hit from the back, and I wasn't paying too much attention, but he only appeared to be going through 1 combo and every time any boss so much as moved, he'd run to the other edge of the arena and back. The bard never used any song, much less foes. Neither used any cooldowns. I was consistently 2nd in threat even on bosses, despite using next to zero healing skills because rouse could handle most everything. At least the drk was competent.

You probably played with bots. We had a monk do the same poo poo in a DS. 450 dps the first boss and 165 dps the second one with 3-4 deaths. He did speak up when I said to say something. However I still vote kicked him after the 2nd boss. He also wouldnt turn on the fire stance when I nicely suggested he should.

Not gonna lie, would love to use a bot for mining/botany as that is some super mindless boring stuff, but using one for dungeons sounds pointless and a billion times slower than just playing.

I did during AAR. It was great. Did 1-50 bot/min for me. Would never trust it for a dungeon though or even know how they work these days. Plus the fun part of the game is murdering dungeons/raid content. I don't understand why people bot that.

I disagree, but I know some people don't like hats. I think the cloche with the tailcoat makes for a Victorian kind of look. Maybe a bit old-fashioned, but to each their own (glamour).

I have to say that I really don't like the LB system much. I know why it is the way it is but it feels kind of awkward and unnatural and too prone to miscommunication, plus it has a big cool awesome effect that like 1 person/fight gets to use and that person is probably a specific DPS or tank. I donno how you'd fix it but it'd be more fun if it felt like I ever had any reason to use a limit break ever as a healer except in the like 1-in-300 times that I'm the last one standing while the LB bar is still full.

You don't have to be the last one standing to use healer LB3, in fact I'm like 90% sure using it when there are 2 dps dead is a dps increase over using melee limit break.

I do think they should buff healer LB1 and 2, though. Maybe make LB1 cure all debuffs and restore party to full health, LB2 do those things plus restore all TP/MP, and LB3 do those things plus what it currently does.
Healer LB should be a way to remove at least some normally uncurable debuffs, like vulnerability stacks, imo.
