BetterToRuleInHell posted:Any PS4 users able to download SB? I can't fire up HW, it sits on the 'connecting to PSNetwork' screen and I can't find my pre order in the PS store. It downloaded on mine last night, it's probably just swamped.

Magil Zeal posted:Impact's a bit weird, maybe it's a bit of leftover design space where it was intended for something else but got trimmed down. I agree the animation is cool though. Now that I think about it, why doesn't Impact just replace Jolt II when you have Impactful, the same way the Enchanted melee skills replace their basic versions when you have enough mana? There's no reason to cast Jolt II when you have an Impactful proc--they have the same cast time and MP cost, but Impact deals more damage and grants more mana--so it'd just be one fewer thing to keybind.

Baphy update -- after panicking and sobbing for a short time, I restarted the PS4 and was able to log into FFXIV, starting the SB download

What's the situation if I have PS4 ARR but not HW but want to (have to :/) use PS4 to play Stormblood at the moment? If I pre-order it, is it going to get me the Heavensward rights now or am I basically just hosed?

It's really unfun having to swap between protect and eye for an eye every single time I enter a dungeon. Edit: Just remembered that I'd have to reapply protect if someone dies, I guess I don't need e4e. Hommando fucked around with this message at 15:50 on Jun 16, 2017 |

Frankly I think the RDM melee combo could also be handled as all one button (like PvP)--it's not like it has positionals or branching paths, and all 3 skills even have the same TP cost! There's basically no reason to ever use them out of order except as a fuckup.

There's basically no reason to ever use them out of order except as a fuckup. I'm sure someone would call that "dumbing down" but I'd love it. Consolidate keybinds whenever it doesn't reduce actual gameplay complexity IMO. And "read the tooltips to know which order to use these in and then never use them out of that order because why the hell would you" doesn't count as complexity

Soothing Vapors posted:It says 4.X in the patch notes, I think it's just SB. Would love to be wrong I don't think the FATE boosts apply to pre-SB areas, I did two levels' worth of FATE grinding this morning when the instance servers were throwing a fit on my RDM and never saw any boosts. Patch notes seem to confirm it. Of course you're getting the +100% Armory boost for pre-60 FATEs so it kinda evens out.

Minrad posted:PvP is WAY different, but it feels pretty good. Reminds me a lot of Battlerite, like I thought it would. It gives a ton of exp too: Came in second for 600k at level 60. Yeah, I reported back on PvP earlier in the discord, and it cannot be stressed enough that if you enjoy PvP, use it to level. It's just shy of 600k experience at 60 and scales up.

Ciaphas posted:This annoys me because I find MMO PvP to be literally satan but muh expeeeez The revamp is incredibly different. Almost all of the RNG in the combat system has been removed with the notable exception of damage variance. Skill Potency is roughly the amount of damage you deal or heal. Players have static stats, DPS sit at 10k health, with Healers at 12.5k and Tanks at 15k. Kits have been massively truncated to where classes only have about a dozen abilities total. Most importantly, the whole system where PvP Rank dictated relative player power through ability upgrades is completely gone. Everyone is absolutely equal.

It's pretty cool that they just built a PvP system using the various jobs as a framework instead of trying to fit what the jobs already did into a lovely PvP mode. Now I'm really going to have to give it a try. Are there any videos of the revamped PvP yet? I'm curious to see it since I can't try yet (why didn't I just take today off )

What's sad is that some of the new mechanics are better designed in PvP than in PvE. 3 Lilies granting 50% off benediction and divine benis cooldown? gently caress yes, please.

They also pruned a lot of poo poo I disliked from PvP. Healers can no longer raise people, so deaths and kills are both way more impactful. Healer mana actually matters and there's trade offs in taking mana regen to compensate. I haven't tried Feast yet, I'm curious how much XP it gives compared to Frontlines. Make sure you hit up the Wolves Den pier first so you can actually set up your PvP bars/abilities/etc.
