So they didn't fully do away with cross classing in crafting like they did in combat, that's too bad.

I feel like we'll see both Yojimbo and Fist lady again in dungeon storylines.

Now I'm curious as to who this person is and what they did to get this reaction.

A guy who groomed an Icelandic teen through eve online, later played archeage in a goon guild. The guild leadership tried to keep him in with a defense line "you can bang teens in Iceland" or something after he was exposed and the guild imploded. It was hilarious to read about.

I was able to learn O2S's mechanics in about 2 hours but wasn't able to get a good clear group before maintenance. Will definitely get it tomorrow.

Looking forward to trying to pug O3S while the gravy train is running, and hitting a brick wall over and over

I'd say put Yojimbo into the Manderville quest lines somehow, but I suspect they aren't going to do anymore trials related to Hildy.

Dear SE, we arent all no life neckbeard basement dwellers

So stop with the forced multiplayer dungeons already!
Make them solo for MSQ and then have them be raid-hard for repeating. In queue for over 20 minutes now. Not every one has time to waste like this.
Dont say play a tank or healer either. That is not a solution and beyond stupid to say because then we'd all be tanks and healers and no other jobs. And you dont always have 8 people in an fc willing to run dungeons. This is an unacceptable design idea from SE.

EDIT: Apparently I was beaten on this one. I'm honestly a little bit proud of you people.

I should probably just spam Ala Mhigo specifically instead of sitting around AFK and grumbling :v:

I wouldn't mind some more light-hearted trials to pop up in roulette, and yojimbo seems like a Greg-caliber bro, I hope this happens

I'm sure we'll see him again, he's way too interesting to appear once as a dungeon boss and then never ever again.

Oh for sure, and I'm not trying to defend the ridiculous post either :v: I just think it's weird how incredibly hostile people get when someone wishes an MMO was more solo friendly. Just because it's A MULTIPLAYER GAME ARGH doesn't mean it can't be fun to play solo, so why treat it as such an alien idea? It's not like the game would be ruined for everyone else if weirdos could play it alone.

Just in case you didn't know, progress missions always require all three skill requirements to be fulfilled. If even one skill check is lacking your squadbuds will fail 100% of the time.

There's some options under character configuration to hide specific hotbars when your weapon is sheathed. You can also use the hotkeys assigned to hotbars even if they're hidden, but that's only really useful for skills without cooldowns

Update: Turns out the sheathing feature is only for the ~*~Cross Bar~*~.

:aaa: That's literally exactly what I'm looking for.

Well, appearance-wise anyway. Is it actually automatic or is that just using a macro to toggle sheathe + hide/show hotbars? Because if I have to press a button every time I enter/exit combat I just know I'm gonna screw it up.

I'm considering making a crazy Red Mage-specific UI around the job gauge but that'll obviously screw it up for every other job... what's the easiest way to backup/restore hotbars and keybindings?

You could do something like:

Make a macro with

/battlemode
/hotbar display X
/hotbar display X
/hotbar display X

and then put it on a hotbar and bind that key to whatever you want, default is Z I think

I know I can do this, but then I'd have to remember to press Z every time I enter and exit a fight and... I'd rather not :v: Might have to do it if I just can't find a good way to make my UI though, so thanks for the commands.

I think FFXIV does a pretty good job of making grouping as painless as possible for people who generally don't group. I have a friend who started a couple weeks back and she's really enjoyed herself despite being a very, very solo player in any MMO she's played before now. I think the fact that she can just queue and go to sidequests, then run a dungeon where it's generally easy enough that she doesn't have to talk too much, helps a lot.
