Even if you don't have WT unlocked you can unsync the fight and get people who do need it for WT.

What do you get out of beating Odin though? It's not part of the MSQ so I wonder...

The entire point of WT is to get people run through old content that isn't necessary to do, even if unsyncing level 50 content at 70 makes it a laughable joke.

It's the special limit break used by Squadrons in Squadron Missions. A glitch allowed people to use it outside of those missions where it gives an absolutely absurd buff for only 1 limit break bar.

Does anyone play the game with more than one computer? How do you synchronize your settings (like hotbars) and screenshots between them?

I set up a Dropbox symlink for the settings/screenshots folder but found that Dropbox syncing in-game was booting me out--whenever I would take a screenshot I would be disconnected after a few seconds. I removed the symlink so I would just have to copy the folder into Dropbox after every session, but it's kind of clunky.

So after rewatching a bunch of cutscenes I have determined that the best character is, in fact, Nero. Even though I keep forgetting who he is in between his appearances. They should make a magitech class with a big-rear end gunhammer or whatever the hell he uses. They should also kick Thancred out of the Scions and replace him with Nero.

I hope he’s ok :ohdear:.

I think he started out with a gunblade. But then he switched to the gunhammer, which is way more cool/stupid.

I hope he just shows up in the MSQ as a quest giver with no explanation at all if you didn't play the ARR and SB raids. That'd be the loving best.

The Scions really need some new blood these days. Alisaie has been a good addition, and Hoary Boulder is still around of course. But I really think they would benefit from adding an rear end in a top hat who only cares about himself and robots.

I'd argue that RDM is simpler than BLM rotations simply because it's more forgiving for movement and even if you mess it up it doesn't take much to correct your White/Black mana levels to where they need to be.

Agreed if you're referring to actual pre-Jobstone LNC. Admittedly I haven't mained DRG since the end of HW, but I find its single target rotation a bit more active and less forgiving than SAM.

DRG rotation is Connect Four. (And then Connect Five.) And then you just weave in oGCDs.

(Thank loving god they got rid of Power Boost or whatever the gently caress it was called, that was a dumb skill.

controller chat

*swoops into thread

Been playing pc using controller since day one. I literally cannot play without it now. Controller support for the game is top notch and is the main reason I am still subbed to this day. I can and do play all jobs on controller, the only thing I will say is a bad thing with controller is end-game healing which I have never tried but I can only assume would be a lot more difficult since targetting party members without a mouse can be time-consuming. Healing in all other content though is a breeze and people seem to get their knickers twisted over it for some reason.

I enjoy that this thread is basically cyclical in nature. If it's an input option on this game you can almost certainly play exclusively with it even at the highest levels in any role.

They should host a one on one pvp tournament of all the players up for bans for using the ungarmax thing. Split it up by role, stream it, and the winners get to keep their accounts. The rest are banned and their parents will receive a call from naoki yoshida himself who will explain the shameful things that they’ve done.

It's also highly dependant on how hard the other jobs get hosed by having to move, which won't affect a good bard at all. Some movement heavy fights this is enough for bard to climb to the middle of the pack in average parsing.

But yeah both rdps need to be able to bring their piercing debuff because the impact on their dps from a DRG just being there and pushing a rotational button they've been using since level 38 is absolutely bonkers.

Will the winners get one wish granted, which they could use to have all the banned players unbanned?

Winners should be allowed to do an honorable thing and delete their accounts without brining shame to their families. Losers should keep their accounts, but they would be instantly queued for Aurum Vale once they log in and they should be stripped of all glamours.

Squadron dungeons are pretty rad. Went from 33 to 40 on Machinist last night while watching a movie. Only downside is I'm a bit sick of Bryflox and I'm bleeding company seals.

Man, there's so much to do in this game. I want to level everything even though I probably won't play half of it with any consistency. I want to collect Triple Triad stuff even though I'm terrible and get dunked on by every jerk running the Plus rule*, I still need to finish up the ARR beast tribes. I keep neglecting WT and I probably should start working on crafters/gatherers again. Oh god, and they're adding the start of a new artifact weapon system next week, with Eureka, right?

* Is there a good triple triad guide? I've found some resources but not too much in the way of "get these cards, use this deck, fight this dude..." - I'm up to 60 cards so I can run 3 star cards but I feel totally clueless on how to actually make a deck or what cards are good.
