ImpAtom posted:Not really in my experience. A 15 minute run where things go a little slower is better than a 15 minute run where things go slower still because two people are sniping at each other in chat. It really depends though. Going slower is fine. Somebody not paying attention to a major mechanic like "the bomb" in wow can wipe the whole raid and its not worth just wiping it over and over hoping the stars align and that person doesn't get targeted. Sometimes you gotta tell people to pay attention, but in a nice way.

About 50% of why I quit raiding was because replacing people is just a never-ending revolving door of poo poo--kick one shitter out, get another shitter two weeks later after pugging your eighth for a while (the other 50% was that holy poo poo it is impossible to get eight people to all show up on time every week). Cross-world PF presumably would have fixed that but I was long done by that point. I probably would have quit anyways even if my static wasn't crap because that was Gordias and we hadn't even hit A3S yet.

So they freak out and use a threat drop when it isn't needed. unless dps are supposed to take agro at some point, I don't see why encouraging dps to use threat drops is a bad thing

ImpAtom posted:I finished leveling up my tank class and hoo boy are there some terrible healers out there. I don't nag because it's pointless but it drives me nuts when I get a White Mage who never casts Holy or Assize or who just sits there doing nothing if they don't need to heal. You can tell the good healers because theyre the ones that make the orbs explode before reaching DPS in Temple of the Fist.

That and raid bosses in FFIX taking hours or in some cases days to kill. It's definitely a different world now. Trying to do Susano/Lakshmi Ex as a solo dps is slowly killing my soul. At least I'm getting my crafting/gathering up again. Feeling any SAM envy fellow DRG buddy? They seem to put out stupid numbers and have much more forgiving class mechanics...

If the run is 20 mins or less I'm good. If it isn't I just sigh internally and power through it. That blm incident was a rarity for me. I want my comms! I am noticing a lot more dps healers then honest healers which is nice. When I did my delta I had to pug one healer for all four through DF and every single one was throwing out some sick damage.

It's definitely a different world now. Until SAM can shoot dragon lasers it's a no-sell We're gonna get buffed in 4.05 anyways, I can feel it. I'm expecting some sort of change to the LotD mechanic (though there's so many directions they could take it it's hard to predict), yet another buff to full thrust (500 here we come!) and yet another reduction to jump's animation lock because they do that every time they touch dragoon. e: I actually really enjoy optimizing LotD, though I wish you got more of a reward for doing it right. The difference between loving up horribly and doing it all perfectly is less than a thousand potency every 80 seconds.

It's definitely a different world now. As someone who raided back in Vanilla, how the gently caress did we ever manage to get 40 people raiding at the same time? It's loving baffling to me. At one point my guild was running simultaneous Molten Core runs. 80 loving people raiding at once. I don't know how we did it.

So I read earlier that rolling only on the thing you want in Omega is a dick move. Why? I want to see if I'm gonna get what I wanted. If not, then I'll just roll on the rest (cause gently caress if I'm gonna do poo poo multiple times in the very first week). But multiple times have I forgotten the way things worked, gotten something I didn't want, and then got locked out of the thing I actually wanted because of the way everyone else voted. Is it just like...poor form to have a "Got mine gently caress yall" mindset? Cause that is not a deterrent considering the way the poo poo loot system works.homeless snail posted:I just push my buttons real hard and hope for the best.  I tried being super into my DPS, but it doesn't matter. I've hit enrage like 10000x less than I've experienced a wipe because of deaths or mechanics done poorly.

The problem is that if everybody does it then you just sit there for five minutes waiting for the loot timer

Pro tactics are passing everything but the thing you want and letting the dudes who roll on everything get their weekly first. Less competition for the thing you actually want. e: also if everything but the thing you want drops to the floor you know you're in for a fight.

Problem was raiding back in Vanilla WoW you had half the raid carrying the other half and you always over recruited so you had 50+ members with some to spare incase if some members in your core raid team were missing. Also, have what may be the reason why the servers be going down tonight.

The real pro tactic is to not worry about getting your gear marginally earlier and just roll on everything that would be useful to you

I think the normal mode token system sucks but it confounds me that between three free companies of goons, six to eight people are having trouble getting together and saying "hey a couple of nights this week lets run Omega for an hour and try to get everyone tokens".

it's not that surprising, half the reason people don't raid is because they hate scheduling their video game leisure time, even if they'd be playing 3x as much as that anyway.

I might actually see if I can get into a casual static that raids one night a week and doesn't really care if they don't make it all the way to the end of the tier each patch, assuming omega savage is around creator difficulty

Oh, that makes sense. I can imagine that must suck for someone who's rolled on a foot piece or whatever and can't get it because person #5 decided to try and wait me out on the chest piece. I'm still gonna do it, because "Got mine, gently caress y'all" but I get it.

Coerthas and the work towards Garuda is beginning to annoy me almost as much as the Titan arc. "gently caress you filthy foreigner, do some tedious fetch quests and collect some bear asses so I can give you a letter to go see the next guy who will make you do exactly the same thing" repeated half a dozen times. Game's making me really want to not save any of these assholes.

The number one weakness of the FF14 story so far, I feel, really is that I feel like I'm trying to save a bunch of obnoxious, lazy asshats who can't be bothered to get a snack from the buffet table without hiring an adventurer to do it. Counting the class quests I've done, the only NPCs I feel like are even trying to pull their weight in this story are Y'shtola, Thancred, and loving Sylphie.

I don't raid because I'm constantly bouncing around between activities in the game and doing something sustained for multiple hours is torture. Plus, I don't have have multiple hour blocks available during the week where I can just raid with no break or interruption.

Running all 4 raids to get 8 people the tokens they want is really freakin' exhausting. My personal pro-strat is 'need on whatever I want, make no bones about if I get something or not. unless it's a chain/bolt, those are the most translatable tokens GDI why didn't I get a chain or bolt that run.'
