I think it's a good thing that some npcs are either oblivious or so snobbish as to actually look down their nose at a walking god of destruction. If everybody fell to the ground in worship as I walked past that'd be insufferable even if it would kind of make sense.

Also that would turn me into a primal and make me my own and boss. :tinfoil:

Got my MRD to level 25, and really enjoying it. Still allows me to tank, but in a way just different enough from sword and board spanking. Chipping away at grand company leves, and am a second class sergeant. Just want first class so I can buy glamour prisms!

Now that you hit that rank, you can turn in all that garbage dungeon gear and unused poetic gear for seals (you don't cross the 1k seals per piece mark till HW) so roll on everything.

Went from 24 to 26 in Pagos last night in a little over an hour. Long live the Train!

The nice thing is that you can help kill NM spawn mobs and get challenge log credit at the same time. ...I mean, this was possible before, but now FATEs actually appear.

I'm impressed how quickly that map came out. It's helped me hunt down spawn points for getting challenge logs done.

I wanted to love MCH, but I'm really starting to dislike it lately. Problem is, I'm not talking about the whole awkward design of the class, as there is a bit of a rhythm to it once you get used to it. My problem is with the 'heated' shots: I actually much prefer the normal unheated shots. The unheated shots, to me, are a lot more satisfying as they are sharper, snappier, and more directed in terms of animation, sound, and damage impact, while the 'heated' shots are a bit all over the place in terms of animation with duller, muted sound and vague damage impact. I know it's sacrilege as I think everyone prefers the Bayonetta-esque animations. I'm not saying there's not a place for them, but as it stands there's no reason to see the unheated shots and they are treated as a punishment actually. Maybe if the heated animations played only during overheat it would allow for both animations to shine.

Oh no, you're completely right. If I went digging back in this thread's posts or the discord, I could probably find something complaining about this exact very thing. You might have run into the same problem that I did:

With the unheated animations, there is an audible audio cue that you get when you get a proc. This makes for very easy running of your 1-2-3 combo, because you can know exactly when something procced the next shot without ever looking down at your bar. You could blindfold me and I would be able to just sit there mashing 1-2-1-3-2-3 in perfect order if they procced properly unheated. If there is an equivalent effect on procced Heated Shots, it's very hard to hear compared to their unheated versions, and I cannot do the same.

Also, give me back my loving Grenado Shot, you bastards. :argh:

I play a lot of MCH and I didn't even realize the procs had audio cues. I've always just watched the hotbar.

If you're having problems with catching the procs, you could do what a BRD player suggested above and put copes of the shots on a zoomed-in hotbar.

Pagos’ map loving sucks if you are sub level 32.

Anemos’ map was dangerous (think of the snakes) but still fairly easy to navigate. Pagos just loving sucks.

Level-locking the aetherytes the way they did was a strange choice. You had to wait until 9 to attune to Anemos aetherytes, but you could get all of them. If they kept that pattern, you'd expect to be able to attune in Pagos at 27~28. Instead, the southern one only requires 21 while the northern ones are 30 and 32.

Really, it seems like they deliberately designed the zone to keep you in the southern half before hitting 30.

It also didn't require a lovely weaving pattern that takes 10 minutes just to get to the other side of Anemos.

There's negligence and then there's spite. Anemos could almost qualify as negligence with Shark Alley and Wind Serpent City.

Pagos doubled down on those, which makes it spite, which makes it deliberate.

The annoying thing is that since the map is so loving obnoxious to navigate that people level 30/32 can kill any NM spawn long before a level 20-29 player can run to it.

Was in one instance yesterday where a NM popped on the other side of the map and it was declared “we are pulling in 3 minutes.”

The people running made about 50% of the way when it was pulled and by the time it was dead, everyone was only 75% of the way there.

The train got me to Level 32. Granted, that was from Level 27, but still.

What I'm worried by is the fact that minions only drop from RNG based lockboxes from mutated enemies. And enemies only mutate based on another level of RNG.

And then there's the bunny chests that take you to areas of densely packed Level 40 enemies.

Yeah, the fact that they didn't take any criticisms of Anemos to heart, and just doubled down on the really lousy choices for Pagos, is a pretty good way to keep me out of it. Hell, I JUST unlocked it last night to get the quest maker out of Kugane. And I'm the kind of idiot who did multiple Anima weapons simultaneously.

Honestly, if you reduced mob strength in Diadem, it wouldn't be a bad way to spend time in-game. Hunting for chests is kinda neat, you have mounts from the get go, and you have a short mission that gives rewards right from the start.

Significantly better than "Level up to (high number) to continue the story. Just kidding; it's only Krile asking you to pick up another Magicite."

There has literally been only one cutscene in Eureka that was halfway interesting so far, and it's the one of the Lalafell lamenting how he can spend his whole life working to earn a position that someone else can also get just by virtue of being born with Crystal Mom's special blessings. Everything else is just non-existent or your standard vague RPG "intrigue" where we need to do THAT to stop THEM from beginning the THING.
