Other way around, I think it's Circle/Fate Eternal.

Do attack names and dragonspeak really have to be spoilered? Whatever.

Akh Afah is "eternal circle," Akh Morn is "circle of death," so Morn Afah is "death eternal."

Today in EXDR, I learned the targetable adds summoned by the second boss of Kugane Castle blow themselves up if they aren't killed fast enough.

I learned that three times.

Because the DPS never bothered killing the adds. Then they both died to the triple explosion and then died again when it happened a second time. (Also, if you don't DPS the boss fast enough, the next add phase has three ninjas... then the next one after that also has three ninjas.)

I was expecting a third gold phase vs. Yojimbo but it doesn't look like he does that.

What a difference a group makes. I got a "rather good" against the second boss of Temple of the Fist yesterday. Today, I get exploding ninjas.

I learned a long time ago that as painful as it can be to have to abandon an EXDR because your tank of healer is worse than you'd be if you were running that role, by far the worst experiences come from having two sub sub sub par DPS players and feeling literally trapped as you spend forty-five minutes clearing a dungeon.

I only queue as a DPS now, and my runs are never longer than twenty minutes. That's not bragging either, 20-minute runs still suck, but I learned it can be so much worse.

Having started with a dps I never knew the horror of a low damage group until I began leveling a tank. Sitting there watching the mechanics cycle while everyone pecks away at their keys is truly purgatory. At least I can afk and listen for the dungeon ping while waiting on the longer queues as a dps.

Nothing ever beats the dawning realization that both of your dps are doing their single target rotation the entire time through a pull of 20+ mobs.

I would be willing to bet money that it goes straight through invuln.
It actually doesn't. 5150's stream where they reached it had their DRK use Living Dead and he survived it, which the PLD was stacking with him and did not. Worth noting is that 300k is just the game's way of saying "I give up" when calculating damage for anything above that number, and this number was reached when both tanks were taking Morn Afah. Either it is a party stack with a fuckton of falloff, or (more likely) the aggro-holding tank is fully intended to use their OH poo poo button to survive the first two nukes and needs to stack with the co-tank for the follow-up.

vOv posted:

Has there been a fight before where invuln is the intended/only way to handle a mechanic?
Not that I can recall. Most times the OH poo poo button is used, it's either as a panic button or to cheese a mechanic. Unending Coil marks the first instance of Holmgang/Hallowed Ground/Living Dead being a requirement to progress.


e: Unless, of course, it is a party stack and is intended to be neutered with the free LB3 you get, but with the OH poo poo button being an option I would be unsurprised if it were used by a Melee DPS instead.

Tch. One more little dream dashed, I guess.

I do wonder about more character customization outside of hair, though. Honestly we're not too far off from the models being in need of a bit of a refurbish (especially to help with the facial animation the cutscene team is clearly hungry to do), but he also shot down further face customization and it leaves me wondering how much of a mess the character backend already is.

Fairly glamour?

You mean changing Eos/Selene to Carbuncles or dressing up like a fairy?

I seem to remember them saying fairy glamours were in the works for some patch way down the road. Did they discover some reason it would be impossible to implement since then?

Considering they can do it with Summoner Egi, I can only imagine that it's a conscious decision to not do it rather than a technical hurdle.

I heard somewhere the summoner/scholar code is a huge pile of hacky spaghetti so I wouldn't be surprised if something that works for one of them doesn't translate over so easily. Fairies overriding the carbuncle summons and all.

Fairy glamour, yes

These questions were asked at a little non-streamed event in London, so don’t be surprised if something he said no to happens in the future I suppose.

He also said that Ishgard would take “thousands of years” to form a grand company, so take it with a pinch of salt.

I had to tank those face dudes that the summoners bring in every time, too.

I went in with the insta-queue, but it all ended up being a wash anyway. If I had queued as RDM I would have waited ~12 minutes, but it would have likely been a 15-20 minute run.

Oh well. Learning is fun. I never knew those adds did Hara-Kiri like the bomb guys.

After the first set of two exploded, I tried to take down the adds on my own as PLD, but I was usually only able to get one in time. I've literally never seen that happen before. They normally fold like paper.

On one hand, it will always be Five Years Past The Calamity, forever. On the other, they do things like showing a couple meet, fall in love, and have a child together, all on screen, as well as having characters reference the passing of months in between story beats so clearly there's more in world time passing they then will ever be willing to acknowledge.

The game supposedly happens in a time bubble where no huge amount of time passes between expansions/events and time spent is generally handwaved away.

They don't want you thinking about the timeline, basically.
