I don't understand how anyone can lose elemental xp ever, every Eureka instance I've ever been to has been a massive hugbox where complete strangers will cross half the map just to res you. All you have to do is ask.

As for the delevelled guy, it's probably the dude from reddit who went from 20 to 10 on purpose as an experiment.

Gonna need roaming gangs of at least two full parties of level 20 healers and red mages canvassing the zone for dead dudes, extorting the deceased for money and dinosaur mounts.

Nipponophile posted:That's not "classic WoW", but it is very much "classic EQ" and "classic FFXI". By sheer coincidence, one of those games is far more successful than the others. Yeah uh Eureka is far less lovely than the loving AQ summoning bullshit pre-gates opening. Hell I'd argue it's less tedious to do than Molten loving Core. Classic WoW was full of terrible loving hellgrinds, and they couldn't be mitigated by doing it in a raid for the most part either.

I'm curious as to where you died, because there's literally 2 places that are effectively a no mans land Here, especially at night  And the southern part of the hell cave where Pazuzu lives. High level people can pull you out of the first after you get chain hosed by dullahans and sanuwas, for anyone who isn't 19+ it's effectively a death sentence to revive you at night and a complete poo poo show in the day. As for the second, gently caress you release idiot there's literally no reason to ever go into that part of the hellcave

Asimo posted:Speaking from personal experience, yeah, this is absolutely the case. You're not getting one-shot anymore by most of the monsters and bosses and you can finally start getting actual rewards from most of the NMs in the zone. I'm glad to have hit 11 tonight, but all it's really done is confirm my annoyance about how hosed the level scaling is, and how much better it could have been if there wasn't a huge loving wall at the front of the content. TBH not getting rewarded beyond exp for 75%of the fates I ran was what was largely sticking in my craw, it goes against the Skinner box, I ran the maze give me my cheese. The mass deaths during fates and human wave attacks on the other hand are downright funny.

That. Tunnel. Another player did eventually come rez me but they died too.  We were screaming in shout when someone said "hey there's like 39 people in this instance think it's time to go".Add to this that I was already late for my statics raid time and it was hilariously stressful.

itskage posted:And to be clear this can be difficult at times esp with all the ilevel fluctuations you run into when doing LDR so don't feel bad if you mess it up occasionally. I still remember just getting completely demolished/demoralized by a Stone Vigil where the tank refused to adjust to my ability to the heal them. I don't remember what my gear was like so it was likely that I was a bit undergeared but this tank would just keep trying to make these big pulls despite me telling them I couldn't keep them up healing on every GCD. WHM definitely gets a lot more fun around 50-60 when you get a few more tools to deal with those "oh poo poo" situations. I think it was Atherochemical Facility? One of the 50/60 dungeons - was a ton of fun sprinting alongside the tank and then dropping a pile of holys once everything is wrangled up. Another thing I've kind of enjoyed about healing is how you can feel good gear a lot more then as a dps.

SonicRulez posted:Swimming is not a major feature of Stormblood, man. It's really silly to say that it is. Square Enix seems to think it is in the top 5 most important features of Stormblood, according to the official website: https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/stormblood/ Swimming and Diving was also a major talking point in Tokyo's 2016 Fanfest Keynote speech, getting five slides devoted to it (more than any other topic in keynote): https://docs.google.com/document/d/1DEUujbe-rP5zfg2FQs4cKydlu8qZacC3nb_IiYMg_zQ/edit Don't get me wrong, Swimming has literal no impact in the game and was largely a pointless addition, but Square Enix totally bills it as a major expansion feature.

I had about ~25 revives on the Good Samaritan achievement a few days ago, and I got my 200 title yesterday. The only reason it took so long is because everybody else is faster on the draw than me!

Seriously, hell when I'm doing other stuff I just idle as rdm in eureka seeing if Pazuzu will pop and I answer the res calls for poor fuckers who are dead off in some obscure corner of the map. I've been finding Eureka is really fun if you go in with a group of friends, and decent fun if you get a group right off, if you try to go solo though I'm sure it would be a miserable hellgrind. Which is probably the biggest way Eureka flies in the face of recent MMO development - MMOs have been becoming more and more solo friendly and Eureka is basically ff11 in ff14 and 11 was in no way solo friendly.

I find it hard to imagine an instance of Eureka that doesn't have 10 or so people ready to raise you in seconds. When the trains are moving through high level spots, you see low levels dropping like flies and people immediately stop to raise them. It's.....kind of inspiring really. From my own experiences, mainly doing Fafnir and Pazuzu spawning as a level 7 rdm, my only job literally was to raise people who died since I couldn't do anything else. Didn't stop assholes pming me and telling me to stop afking though.

FATEs are fine. Anytime I see someone dead in some corner of the map, though, it's a gamble whether or not anyone will go and save them if it's some crazy area like the Level 17 quest.

Tell them to go gently caress themselves. An entire fight of you dpsing your rear end off while ignoring raises would net less dps than a single properly leveled sch dot never refreshed. It’s a waste of your time and mana to do anything more than darting in to flèche while you chain raise.

If you're under leveled for the train, RDM or healer is objectively the best option so you can at least be useful. Putting yourself at risk of being one shot so you can do less than three digits of damage per hit is not useful, so you hang out in back until somebody needs a rez. I've also seen more than a few NM fights that would have been a full zone wipe if half the people there were not red mages furiously chain rezzing everyone in the corpse party. Respect those afk lowbies (unless they're still afk while standing amidst the pile of grey names, then gently caress em)

Eureka trip report; I got level 19, the full relic set for samurai and a bonus relic weapon for rdm, and still plan to grind pazuzu a bit for the altar. Final score - I give it a 35 out of 100. It's loving bad content, but it ended fairly quickly and I ended up hating it less than any of the light grind steps since 95% of my time was spent essentially afk doing something enjoyable instead.

Schneider Heim posted:Thanks all. I didn't know Lucid Dreaming helps with MP management. I hope to get matched in a dungeon that allows me to use Holy soon. I was serious, by the way, Holy is your best healing spell in aoe groups. With diminishing returns it’s like ten seconds of the entire pack being stunned if you triple cast it, which is ten seconds of zero damage being dealt to the tank. Granted, that eats your mana, but it’s still one of your best healing spells. It’s better when you get Assize.

When Ultros shows up, maintain dps on Guardian until he jumps. You'll have time to kill Uncle Ulty while he's the only target. There should be time for three potions: during your opener, right after virus tethers resolve, and at the end. If you're consistently getting close, make sure everybody is using their potions. When Bilbo circles are about to come out, have MT pull Guardian near the first melee circle so you can maintain uptime until you have to run to the second circle. Most of the rest boils down to renewing your abilities appropriately and not dying to stupid poo poo.

Also, your melee dps can stand at max melee range during ink in order to maintain uptime. It's also possible to do this during the first atomic ray if you position the boss right.

I kinda like the current seasonal event. It's very low-key, but these little side stories are fun. Good thing i unlocked Bard just like, last week, so i actually had some kind of backstory with Leih. Just in time! It's also a good thing i leveled all the crafters and gatherers and stuff so i know a lot of the people coming along. Beatin creeping on Fufucha was pretty funny.

Remilia posted:Also, your melee dps can stand at max melee range during ink in order to maintain uptime. It's also possible to do this during the first atomic ray if you position the boss right. Yeah this too. If you look at the floor, there are two lines running north to south that the boss fits neatly between when he's centered. At the middle of these lines are a hub/joint looking thing. Have your melee dps stand on these or slightly south for ink and to drop the initial atomic rays (pull the boss north after the rays drop and have the melee follow). The only times melee is forced away from the boss for any length of time are during Air Force, virus pushback, getting out of the way of tentacles + bombs later on, and while placing atomic rays in the back half of the fight. Otherwise they should have nearly continuous uptime whenever the boss is targetable. E: and while killing Bilbo/Daddy but they should stay in melee range of Guardian so you can get both with whatever AoEs and dots you've got.

 Also, I've got all of my WAR relics done and hit e20. Probably a good note to end on until Eureka (and thus the relic) is updated. All in all, still lovely content, but not as bad as it could've been. The downtime between NMs and the endless entertainment that is shoutchat made the experience tolerable.

https://www.fflogs.com/character/id/48908 Here's my fflogs page, all parses on there are with my group. It's the best I can do from my phone. We do keep uptime during load ultros and our MT drags the boss to the first melee biblio spot and we stay on Guardian till he lifts off. I run BLM and I'd say I realistically am pulling about 5500 at the end going off my own parser. Thank you for the help! We're just frustrated being stuck on a fight I feel we should have cleared three weeks ago.

Gearhead posted:I just realized something about the post-4.0 plotline: This one had occured to me too, actually. Obviously Thordan ate him and then you killed Thordan to death. Presumably his aether would have been absorbed by the eye at that point and been floating around in Shinryu, so maybe he could still exist? Though personally I'm expecting that his gimmick is that he just can't die, the Empire has a bunch of clone bodies of him stuffed away somewhere and his hosed up engineered Echo means that every time he dies his soul gets forcibly ejected into one of them. I'm also expecting him to be very unhappy about this if they want to give him a redemption arc or have him be the Token Evil Scion.
