But i thought our superpower was being able to see into people's souls and see their past in flashback form? On the note of The Echo it's always bugged me that as important as the Scions of the 7th Dawn are in fighting Primals only 2 of the original members were actually immune to being mind controlled by the drat things. Not that the primals actually try doing that outside of the base ARR stuff but hey  Also also it's great to see [i assume] Square listening to feedback and lessening the amount of extra poo poo you have to do before you can actually go fight a newly introduced primal. I started noticing it when it came down to fighting i think Leviathan and the solution is "oh lets just tie 2 ships together!" and then they do it off screen and you go fight him immediately  . Then with Lakshmi you only get to see her for 1 cutscene before they just let you storm the drat Aetherite room and go fight her! Like wow what an improvement!

From a couple pages back but thanks to the person who did the massive effort post about crafting macros. I'm a dumb baby who can't do the maths to work out my own rotations so having someone write out a one-size-fits-all macro is helpful! even if I don't actually use macros themselves because they always lag and miss a step

Now they just need to make the loot timer on Omega 30 seconds instead of 5 minutes. I hope everyone who only rolls on their preferred item first steps on a lego.

The normal raid drops 320 tokens, in a week we get savage gear which most people won't see, in another week tomes of creation added and with them a new set of gear, right? Of these, creation gear is a bit higher than normal, and savage is a bit higher than creation? Are we likely to see the antiquated 290 in better and dyeable versions any time soon? I think something similar was dropping in alliance raids so it's probably 4.1 in a few months?

It doesn't really matter to them if you run it once a week or a hundred times a week - just as long as you're staying subscribed. That's the main motivation behind weekly loot lockouts, to stop people from getting all their gear on the first week and unsubbing for a couple of months.

There are lots of ways to encourage multiple runs without it being a gamble. Just make it drop a single unified currency that can trade for anything in the right amounts. What the problem becomes is that there is a pretty good chance to come out of a run with nothing.

I know people have said that the Stormblood theme is a seriously overused leitmotif and I kind of agree, but honestly I don't think I'm ever going to get tired of that melody. Even if it is in the Kugane music, the normal battle music, the dungeon boss theme, and other boss themes. It's just real great. Also I just got to the Azim Steppe and the music  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iR3yMqpaCrU

Welp I've been sucked back into this game as usual, it looks like this expansion is miles better than the last one was. I had some confusion on the whole 'you can't buy steam's version of the expansion and apply it to your non-steam version' thing and, since I wasn't super leveled before or anything, I've decided this is a good chance to start rather fresh what with the exp boosts and all. I threw even more money at the game to get the level 60 job boost/ARR story completed because gently caress redoing ARR on anything but side-alts. I think it says a lot that despite the initial annoyances I'm still loving being back in the game. I used my boost thing on Summoner because why not and holy poo poo this new dragon trance gauge is a really neat concept that really hammers in the whole 'scion for outside energies' thing. Do I need to go do HS stuff before I can start Stormblood, or is being 60/flagged for finishing ARR enough?

If it were up to me, I'd go the GW2 way, where every single instance has its own tomestone equivalent currency and once per day it gives a big bonus to it (i think 20 per run, but +60 daily), and then you grind a dungeon you want gear from and after ~20 dailies you can buy the whole set IIRC. It's super easy to make weekly caps like with high end tomes too, for raids etc., like this.

The Gate posted:Maybe they could have some sort of currency drop? That you could turn in for items?? Nah that would never work Currency drop, and once you are out of currency drop runs, subsequent runs for the week get you reset points for wt regardless of newbie bonus (Newbie bonus would net you 2).

I never know how I feel about loot systems. On the one hand, I find currency systems really unsatisfying. I like when I run a dungeon and get an actual item, not when I run a dungeon and get some sort of currency to go buy an item. In a way, it's part of what kills the fun of GW2 for me: everything boils down to currency, and the chances that you'll actually get something neat as a drop are abysmal. Obviously FFXIV is nowhere close to that and each dungeon has its own armor sets and everything, so it's miles ahead of GW2. On the other hand, having to roll for drops suuuuuucks, especially when those drops are your sole means of progression, and if there's one thing I hate worse than boring currency systems, it's frustrating random rolls. I wonder how it would work if they just went for WoW's current instanced loot system. Just skip the rolling and directly give players a thing if they get a drop, maybe with some built-in bad luck protection so you never run a boss like six times in a week and see nothing.

If nothing else, I wouldn't mind individual instances having their own currencies just because I have no idea why there are so many Allagan tomestones everywhere. If they're going to use currency--and they probably should, at least for now--I like that method a lot better than piece-specific tokens that you have to roll for.

I think the new system where you're assured a drop after finishing a dungeon is a good middle ground. You get the fun of potential faster progression but still get hard progression no matter what and if you run dungeons to level you'll be fully geared up by the next dungeon. Obviously that wouldn't work for raiding content but even there I like current Lakshmi/Susano's currency system with a chance of actual item better than currency only.

Yeah, the leveling dungeon loot changes are great. It does seem like Omega has the worst loot system of all of FFXIV's instanced content. Randomly rolling for tokens that you also need multiples of for a given piece of equipment just seems like a recipe for guaranteed frustration. Just going for a straight currency system with a chance for an actual item drop (like Lakshmi/Susano EX) would be infinitely better, because you get a chance of an exciting drop, but even if you don't get it (or lose the roll), you're still making progress with every run. Leaving a challenging fight completely empty-handed is the polar opposite of fun.
