mostly just the first boss. it's tuned weird so that if your DPS is too much it becomes completely unhinged chaos

LITERALLY MY FETISH posted:Yeah but if you take that away there’s nothing left. True, I guess. But It's a such wasted oportunity. Their setting and art style would be so perfect for a more Terry Pratchet kind of "gentle" and humorous social critique. drat with all those mmos out there we ended up without a discworld mmo. Maybe is for the best, but a guy can dream... edit: On the subject of statics now that I'm leveling a NA character I might consider looking for a goon static if I can find some time to play during the week. The thing is, I bounced really bad from this game on SB release due to a bad pub static experience. I announced in that lfg discord that I was a new player looking for a static that wouldn't mind me being bad. They seemed fine at first, but after a while, everyone started bickering with each other and being super frustrated and passive aggressive to the point where I started dreading when Tuesday was getting close and just stopped logging in at some point.

Last night I was in an o11n where the tank was just completely unable to hold still and kept spinning the boss and walking it all over the place, resulting in poo poo like a Larboard that covered 90+% of the map. We asked him to try to hold still and he got all indignant. "Lol this isn't savage I can do what I want" After the inevitable wipe, we pulled again and he died about 1/3 of the way through. Other tank said he's got this so we just left the shmuck on the ground and finished the fight without him. He spent the whole time claiming he had a GM watching us for actionable harassment which was original at least.

Argas posted:WoW did start releasing the Chronicle series of lorebooks. Yeah I have a real problem with how almost casually the WoW team goes about retconning the old bits whenever they don't fit with whatever they have in mind. On a side note I hope it's possible to "catch up" with the Doman reconstruction because I just started last week and I kinda want to complete it before the new expansion but the weekly cap feels low and I have no idea how high it goes.

For the Burn final boss, any tips for the checkerboard AOE or flying AOE? I was shamed into a life of weaving last night after my pug failed the duty and just couldn't beat it. I thought I healed good

I thought I healed good The flying AoE is pretty easy - run around the edge till you find the line. It's invisible if you're in it. Other than that, I think the big trick involves the targeted puddle - drop it near an edge, get out asap, and try not to trap anyone with it.

I wish there was some sort of reward for running normal mode trials. I really enjoy normal Byakko and especially normal Suzaku but I have no desire to try the savage modes but have no reason to redo the normal modes.

ARR Story primals had weapon drops. Like if Susaku normal or whatever dropped a 365 weapon, I don't think that would be problematic. The old tomestone weapons are better.

Why, god, have I never done raids on a tuesday night? O9-12N in the space of 1h30, including some waiting for friends to watch cutscenes and a couple wipes on O12 (but now I know all the mechanics!) the best part was the final phase of O12, raidwide comes down and my healer buddy (running for the first time) mics up "...did they just limit break us?" Good times, really enjoying this raid tier

Don't feel obligated to do savage if you don't want to, but just so you know, O4S / O8S / O12S have entire super boss phases that don't exist in the normal versions. They're worth the effort of doing if harder raids are your thing!

I just transferred to Balmung to play with some friends and nah, the ERP crap really is just kind of out in the open. Party finder is...a thing. On the other hand, everything costs 1/3 or 1/4 as much as it did on Adamantoise and that’s really cool.

Should I be at all concerned that if I don't finish the MSQ soon enough it'll be hard to find people to do all the Stormblood raid content with, or do I have a while? At my current rate it'll probably be at least a couple weeks until I finish that. Doing the Binding Coils stuff actually makes me kind of curious about these raids, even though I've never really raided in an MMO before; it's kinda fun learning the mechanics and doing them correctly, and the plot stuff was also cool. I'm currently periodically checking Party Finder for the Heavensward raids (they actually seem to be less common on there than Binding Coils for some reason).Harrow posted:Minor spoiler I guess: that melody is the Ala Mhigan anthem. The Empire took the melody and wrote their own lyrics to it as a way of hijacking Ala Mhigan culture. The Empire's colonialism is surprisingly realistic in various ways. Stuff like privileging certain native members to defang resistance, as well as having the colonizer have some sort of not-explicitly-evil (but paternalistic) motivation but in practice the on-the-ground soldiers commit atrocities constantly (various Ala Mhigans have mentioned having relatives randomly killed/grievously injured by Imperial troops). The Grimace posted:I honestly think FF MMOs are the only ones to keep my attention thanks to the aesthetics and story focus. If not for both of these, I'd go back to single player games. Same here; FF has a good balance where it's more like a single-player game where you occasionally group with people to do things (and still have the choice of focusing on a lot of group content if you want). Granted, WoW is also pretty good in this regard, though its story/setting/characters/etc aren't really good enough that it's as enjoyable to me as a single-player experience. Like, when I go home and play the FF14 MSQ I'm curious and excited to find out what happens next. I never really got that same sort of feeling from WoW. It had some really good/interesting quests (and honestly WoW does some cool things that FFXIV doesn't in terms of interesting mechanics), but they just sort of "made leveling more enjoyable" rather than being something I'd enjoy solely for the plot. Pigbottom posted:Let me be a little passive aggressive here, to point out that I feel like most of what made WoW story bad was Chris Metzen's cheesy, over the top, loktar'ogar, "epicness" bullshit. Yeah, that's basically the sort of thing I was referring to with my comments about "Western/US nerd culture" That's basically one of the things that sort of characterizes that general "feel" to certain media.

Magil Zeal posted:Yeah I have a real problem with how almost casually the WoW team goes about retconning the old bits whenever they don't fit with whatever they have in mind. I totally agree. I may be wrong, but I imagine Yoshi P being as prominent in the head of the team allows them to have a better "bigger picture" view on the game and to keep a consistent story and then proceed to make content that fit into it. I still really enjoy wow, but it feels like they just build whatever they think sounds cool and then they find a way to And it's not just the lore, blizzard must be the most ADD-riddled developer in the history of video-games by now. Every expansion they seem compelled to ditch whole game systems just because. The game is full of vestigial systems hanging in there to rot. On that note, I know it's almost unthinkable (see SE own ARR story + blizzard and cataclysm), but I still would love to see another "back to the tree cities" expansion.

There's a few goons on Balmung, I'm probably the most active. If you want to add me (Estelle Auberlaint) I can help out with stuff or invite you to the goon linkshell, though it's not terribly active. Also, I've said it before, but I get more horny tells on my Excal alt than I do on Balmung.  Maybe being a nerd-married grey elf turns off the hormy members of the community? At least compared to a (still grey) catgirl.

Ok, I think I'm done with my seasonal cycle. Every time I try to roll a new char in NA, I decide I'm done with healing, it's to stressful (and mouse over macros in this game are a bit lovely) and I'll be better rolling as a PLD. Then halfway there I get bored and go back to healing, but promise this time I'll main WHM co's SCH is too clunky and I'm still pissed that I can't heal with my good pal carbuncle. And now here I am, playing SCH again...  I'm still at arcanist and I haven't logged in with my EU sch to try it. Did they really make controlling the faerie better?

The next raid content is coming out in 4.5, and the old raid tiers have been added to Wonderous Trials to keep some interest up outside of the raid completion coin that you can turn in to upgrade gear. It might not instapop, but people will still be doing Rabanasty and Lighthouse.
