Man, there is so much cool stuff to catch up on. I really should have resubbed sooner, since it'll probably all have to take a backseat to Stormblood stuff next week.

dogsicle posted:Brayflox HM is pretty bad but it's the only one of that bunch that really sticks out negatively in my memory. Totally made up for by stuff like Tam Tara HM, Amdapor Keep HM, and the whole chain of unlocking Wanderer's Palace through its hard version. Hardflox has MEGAPULLS and also drops baby opo-opos and therefore is good. Copperbell HM is the real stinker of the level 50 dungeons, but mostly suffers from being made early on. The dungeons rapidly improve in overall quality in later patches.

orcane posted:I liked Brayflox HM at 50 because of how quickly you could run it, and the gear it drops looks nice. Except when it doesn't drop which is 99% of the time, RNG sucks and I eventually gave up on getting my last fistfighter piece. My experiences probably color things a bit because yeah, I ran it a lot hoping for certain drops and got repeatedly screwed. There's also the question of whether you get a tank/healer who do megapulls and that the last boss is invincible for half the fight.

When brayflox hard was current I ran the first 2 bosses legit hundreds of times to grind out tomes for myself and fc mates, always had a blast. I remember getting sub-7 min runs and cheering. For some reason it's still my favorite dungeon, the whole thing can be done in 3 pulls and the bosses are dead simple tank and spanks. Lb boss before the third invuln and beat it before big bomb, bada boom

Literally the only bad part of Hardflox is that babies complained about speedruns until S-E decided there was no fun allowed in future dungeons

That said, the only good thing about sastasha hm is the pull before final boss. Jinh fucked around with this message at 22:00 on Jun 6, 2017 |

I don't see a reason not to unlock all the roulettes. Whenever I want to play but don't necessarily have a goal to work towards (like now that I'm sitting at i270) you can just roll through roulettes. Perfect way to spend time while waiting on squadron stuff and the byproduct is that my SAM will be set in the future. Stocked up tomes can get dumped into the PLD anima just for kicks. 50dr is alright, I can't think of anything I've been dropped into where I wanted to die like in LDR.

I'd tell most people to unlock 50DR because the next whatever weapon grind that means we need another 27000 poetics to buy some thing to get through the drat quest is a bit more tolerable when you have another roulette to hit up for even more seals when you're doing anything to scrounge up more.

Daynab posted:Thanks for this, been trying to wrap my head around what our new rotation will be. I'm really excited for MCH after getting over the hypercharge nerf and some other utility getting removed. If heat feels good to manage I'll be sticking with MCH since my other most liked jobs are really getting dumbed down, I feel. * If this is a concern, Hypercharge can actually be pushed back, as much as -20 seconds before Wildfire, so in theory, you would be blowing up a turret whose Hypercharge effect has faded or is close to fading, but before the Wildfire wears off the target. Furthermore, Hypercharge's effect sticks around for ten seconds after the last buffed autoattack, so there is a window with which blowing up a non-Hypercharged turret inside of Wildfire is possible. ** Furthermore, I'm thinking that Big Wildfires and Little Wildfires may still be a thing, as Overload and Hypercharge are on 120 second CDs. I haven't yet explored whether or not you would alternate between the two, and whether or not it would be better to combine the two into a single Wildfire, as I'm still trying to track down where I screwed up with my potency math from last night. * I do not think so, because Cooldown is labeled as a weaponskill, and therefore on the GCD. The only Heated skill that Cooldown would be a DPA advantage over would be a) Heated Split with no ammo, 2) uncomboed Heated Slug, and iii) Uncomboed Heated Clean. However, as mentioned in the first iteration, there is a case where you would actually want to do the uncomboed Heated Slug, (albeit with ammo) so you can get a procced Heated Clean shot up and blinking, much as you would have now.

All I'd heard was "Will be upgraded in Eureka", and the weapon upgrading process "will be quite different", so probably, but considering how little we know about Eureka and the relics that's not exactly conclusive.

If you preordered there's a preorder site that you put that code in and it gives you the mogstation code. Just in case you didn't already do this.

Injuryprone posted:Who's LBR? an ffxiv podcast where they complain about the state of the game constantly without providing any reasonable solutions. Usual talking points are that the game is catering to casuals and SE is bleeding numbers/ignoring vets. I get that they are from the ffxi days, but it seems silly to keep comparing this game to it. I only skipped around cause I wanted to listen to something while farming mgp chocobo racing, but they called out some posters a week ago criticizing their opinion on jump potions/single button combos. Also made fun of the forum for having a paywall, but then 3 out of 5 of them admitted to having an account? Mainly listened cause Fusionx was on and discussed his time at the media tour, but for a good portion of the time they just talked over what he had to say. edit: it's towards the end of the most recent episode if anyone wants to hear it for themselves

Yeah, the preorder bonus/early access code, and the permanent full access code are separate things. The actual cd keys don't get sent out until the release date. If they just had 1 key that they gave you upon preordering, then amazon and other sellers that don't charge you until the release date would get screwed. The part where you have to plug your bonus code into a site to get a different code to plug into mogstation is weird though.

LBR is basically conservative talk radio for FFXIV. They'd be more convincing if they did even a minimal amount of research or had hosts who actually played the game.

I tried listening to that once and had to shut it off because it was like this dude shrieking his head off for five minutes about how if his dumb story theory wasn't true then square hosed up and cursing and shouting at some lady who was calmly disagreeing. I can't think of anything worse then someone going full skip bayless about final fantasy. Or anything really.

If you're market board savvy you can level pretty much every class up to desynth all ARR mats by finding the cheap poo poo on the MB and buying it up. Just look for weapons/armor that have dozens listed for sub 1000 gil.
