If you think calling me names is gonna get a rise out me, think again. I like my life as an idiot!
Someone let a boomer loose in Novice chat today.

[13:33][NOVICE]Vapors Ryuken: really this is a main story quest. search for hidden children.... smfh
[13:36][NOVICE]Vapors Ryuken: i dont know if i can make it rhough all these dumb quests. so boring. run here talk to him. run here talk to her. so on and so forth. sigh
[13:37][NOVICE]Michael Stark: something something mmos something something
[13:37][NOVICE]Vapors Ryuken: most mmos arent like this though. its like a wow clone. and ff 11 you only had to do important quests
[13:38][NOVICE]Ashira Mira: yeah but ffxi, the quests and missions didn't grant you exp either
[13:38][NOVICE]Ashira Mira: instead you had to party grind
[13:38][NOVICE]Vapors Ryuken: i know that was so much better than this
[13:39][NOVICE]Vapors Ryuken: this is boring
[13:39][NOVICE]Ashira Mira: gen pop disagrees which is why the model fell out of favor
[13:39][NOVICE]Vapors Ryuken: yea but thats only because of millenials
[13:39][NOVICE]Tiny Princess: lmao at preferring grinding over a fun story
[13:40][NOVICE]Vapors Ryuken: fun story lol.. i skip all the cutscenes
[13:41][NOVICE]Vapors Ryuken: yea i played this game on release. i stopped after 6 months. every patch was just a repeat with a new lvl cap
[13:41][NOVICE]Tiny Princess: so why are you playing it now?
[13:42][NOVICE]Vapors Ryuken: figured id check it out since they brought some ffxi characters over
[13:42][NOVICE]Vapors Ryuken: i just want to do fun stuff and for 3 days ive been doing quests. getting annoying. now i have to find children hiding its like just so dumb
[13:43][NOVICE]Tiny Princess: you can always pay dollars to skip it if it's such a big deal to you
[13:43][NOVICE]Vapors Ryuken: that kinda takes away from the already paying monthly sub fee
[13:43][NOVICE]Vapors Ryuken: shouldnt be able to pay to win
[13:43][NOVICE]Tiny Princess: idk if skipping the quests is pay to win
[13:43][NOVICE]Tiny Princess: in fact i do know; it isn't
[13:44][NOVICE]Vapors Ryuken: yea it def is
[13:44][NOVICE]Vapors Ryuken: paying money in an mmo to skip is pay to win

Does anyone on Excalibur want to do Susano Ex some time today or tomorrow? I haven't had very successful experiences with trying to clear in Party Finder so far. In game name is Ross Perot

It wouldn't be as frustrating if it was just someone misaligning the stormclouds occasionally, but instead it's things like repeatedly dying to churn, or failing the DPS check on the sword.

I'm not in any of the Goon FCs, but I might be interested. "Galaga Galaxian" in game, RDM. Did the fight a few evenings ago subbing into a group of friend's static. Didn't clear, but that was probably because we were solo healing it and it was our first attempts.

No no, healer queues are great! That's one of the reason I went healer to first -time all the duties, aside from the fact that it's my preferred role anyway.

OH, I misread what you were saying. Yeah, PVP queues are sick, do that. They pop super fast because Frontline isn't role-specific. But if you queue in and see that your entire 8 man is DPS, just resolve to losing hilariously.

On Susano Ex, during the shuffling cup rock breakers, is it always the 4th rock on the emnity list? In each of my 24 clears we've just mass targetted the fourth and it's always worked, but I'm being told otherwise now. Early rumour and just lucky, or is that how it works?

That's what I've heard so far. I haven't been paying too much attention to it though, usually I'm dropping a heal right when it stops and then I just DPS what everyone else is hitting.

I actually just had a run where it wasn't the fourth, and nobody through up a sign until it was half way dead.

Yeah, the actual trick to it is that it's the latest letter in the alphabet on the enmity list. If you've been through enough attempts in a lockout for it to have gone through all 26 letters already, it might not be the bottom one. If the first one is Z it'd be C instead. :eng101:

If a boss is immune to the pull/bind effect of Holmgang, do you still get the six seconds of protection? Or are you not guaranteed the death resistance unless you can pull them?

Is there still a data-center-wide linkshell for goons? I'm on a low pop server with some friends, but it gets pretty quiet when they are out.

Also, for materia in tank gear, is tenacity, skill speed or det? (Most gear I see tends to have Str Vit and Crit capped).

You'll get the protection effect, and root yourself.

Thanks, that explains it. Most of my attempts have been one or two shot so I've never seen the results of it, but the last one I was in was absolutely dire.

Does anyone know how to deal with the Hex/Piggy/Devour mechanic with the A rank Mahisha in the Lochs? All I've figured out so far is that it's gravity based damage, as it did more damage to me with Thrill of Battle up.

It hits you for 100% of your max HP. If you have any kind of damage shield, it doesn't kill you.

The heck is the deal with Steel Peak for the Monk? It's a mediocre damage ability on a 40 second cooldown that offers no utility for anyone. Did this used to do something else? It just stands out to me because just about every other Monk ability has some sort of utility on it that benefits the Monk's mechanics or effects the enemy in some way. Feels like they ran out of ideas and threw this one in here for no real reason other than to fill out the ability bar.
