Hey, has anyone had any success transferring expansion licenses between Mac and PC? I recently got back into it and found out that I have a Mac license for Heavensword but I'm now on PC. I'd prefer to not buy another license if I can but I'm currently on day 2 of waiting for a word back from customer support and I'm starting to get a little anxious

Are there any good alternatives to ACT for damage meters? It's started bluescreening my computer when I steel cyclone seventeen mobs.

You could disable all the actual parsing features in ACT (so it just dumps the combat log into a file somewhere) and upload to FFLogs after. I don't know of a better realtime alternative, though.

Kuvo posted:One thing I forgot to put on that crafting guide: if your GC squadron is decently leveled one of the weekly lv 50 mission rewards is Squadron Engineering Manuals x5, which give +20% crafting xp for 2 hours. In 4.1 they added new top-level Squad missions that will give you 10 of the engineering manuals (or any of the other things they give out), but they've got higher stat caps. If you scroll down the list you can find the harder ones. Also, Kuvo, your big post (very good info, btw) has a small mistake. CUL 37 is Steady Hand II and not Hasty Touch II.

You will save hundreds of thousands of gil on buying dark matter instead of having to hit up NPC's to repair. Also you can do it anywhere! Anytime! (except in the Squadron Barracks.)

You need a license for each platform you want to play on, but one subscription works across all 3.

Fister Roboto posted:I don't know if materia retrieval requires crafting levels, but that's a pretty huge deal if so. I don't believe it does. Or at least, it doesn't require max level and just high enough to repair said item. I've removed materia from 70 equipment, yet all my crafting classes are 60.

Prim posted:Few pages back but it looks like this didn't get answered fully -- you can float big non-tabletop items using the storage glitch. It only works along permanent items like walls, windows, doors, etc., but it allows for some neat combos. There's more info here: Relatedly, I recently learned about the breaking through walls with beds thing, and naturally began an exploratory voyage into the infinite black void that encapsulates my house, using porcelain vases as footholds    So in a sense, you actually have infinite space in every house/apartment, only caveat being only tabletop items can be placed out in the void (and all the existential dread I guess)

Was this recorded on a 144 fps rig or something? I don't understand how this looks so much more smooth than the actual game looks on my rig when I can run at 60+ FPS trivially. And watching video on the same monitor shouldn't actually look smoother than playing back video...

I have a 970, and play on a 60hz monitor at 2050x1080 with everything turned up to max. IIRC it's about 80 fps on average. So I don't think that's it. I suspect it's the video encoding giving it a smoother appearance. Either from the key/p frames, or due to some kind of hardware acceleration or enhancement on the video decoding end. Probably someone else knows the exact reason.

Amazing. Edit: Upon looking closer, I can't help but notice that the person who was rescued is a Dragoon and the Scholar made sure that he died with the other two.

It's not commendable if you die to the rescue too. It's only commendable if you rescue someone, they die and you don't.

If they can watch youtube without any problems, they should also be able to play ffxiv. Hell, even if youtube stutters ffxiv might be fine, streaming's generally more intensive than anything an mmorpg does.

I still think the 50% manuals are worth mentioning though, because the extra XP is no joke and at low levels they last forever. Renegret fucked around with this message at 13:41 on Dec 5, 2017 |

And watching video on the same monitor shouldn't actually look smoother than playing back video... I get this feeling every time I'm watching game videos recorded at 60fps, but if I make a side by side comparison it feels samey. We're just super conditioned to lovely 24fps films I think. It's not like you could see >60fps on a 60Hz monitor in any case.

I feel like I get accustomed to 60FPS pretty quickly after watching it for a little bit, like during gameplay, but having a sudden 60FPS clip doesn't have that acclimation so it's like starting at zero. I stop noticing it on 60FPS streams after a while too.

Yeah, that's been my experience, too. I have terrible wi-fi with my current router, to the point that Guild Wars 2 was nearly unplayable until I went wired, but FFXIV was absolutely fine. I don't know why but the packet loss I was dealing with just didn't affect FFXIV that much.

In the old dx9 client during ARR, I'd get hilariously bad frame rates every time one of those purple boss lockout walls activated, or there was a dungeon entrance effect somewhere on the screen. Something about particle sprites rendering super badly, it was reported on their bug section as an issue people rarely had, both with nvidia and amd, but never fixed. So every time I played content without any of those happening everything felt so smooth all the time. Now the game just runs at 60fps the entire time and that smoothness feeling is gone
