Same. I've been training my team all this time in preparation for the day when I can watch them let me down in real time.

Twenny or so bux a pizza or a decent night in with some booze, which will probably cover you getting NIN to 60 anyway.

I'm really glad that exdr is going to have four dungeons in it, at least for the next three months.

I've thought for a while that FFXIV should just add armor stands like Minecraft did.

I swear I heard somewhere that EXDR was always going to have four dungeons: the last two patches (so either 1/2 or 2/1) and a random other dungeon. Or maybe that was just a fever dream.

These are definitely the worst offenders of the most recent ex roulette dungeons. Personally, gently caress any boss that goes invincible for long periods of time to do some trivial poo poo. I always go all out when Yojimbo starts only for him to almost immediately go into his first money phase and remind me why I shouldn't do that.

Yojimbo himself should pick up the money for the first phase (and not be invincible). For the second phase it's him and his dog. For the third phase it's him and his dog but they're super fast.

Why should Yojimbo pick up his own money? He has a dog for that!

I'd just like it if Yojimbo sassed his employer more, since that's the best part of the fight

Psh, I know how to do that poo poo. You only even need to know one term, and considering one of them is "Fore", there's basically no excuse at all to get it wrong. It's other people not knowing it and then doing 200 damage for 10 seconds every time he uses one of the attacks that debuffs you that makes that fight balls.

I think you can bypass that by clearing your DNS cache and/or changing your DNS to a new value (to/from Google, for example).

The good news is that the download picks up where it left off after an error. If it does happen to start at 0 for some reason, I'm finding that it rapidly gets back to where it was before the crash.

The bad news is that this means you have to loving babysit the launcher, because Squeenix in its infinite wisdom decided to force you to restart the launcher rather than let it just retry the connection.

I've gotten about half down twice now and its errored out "unable to download patch" and started over.

I'm getting the impression that the patch isn't in a fully uploaded state for PC and it's slowing down to hell because people reach the point where there's just barely anything to download. The process has died and started over from 0% for me several times and each time it goes further at a breezy download speed until hitting the bottleneck again.

Gloomy Rube

I notice they update the launcher every time they come out with a patch. Are they actually changing anything about it or is it just that they're updating the version numbers and telling it to grab the right patch and stuff like that?

Yep, it looks like the bottlenecking stopped. Anyone who hasn't patched yet better get on it before Squeenix breaks something else.

I don't really care for housing so slow patching isn't a big deal to me. I just want the Rabanastre sets datamined to see if they're peak Yoshida inspired or if they're trash like that new dungeon set.
