I didn't get a sense of his personality in the first part of Return to Ivalice, I just mentally substituted other Ramzas in lieu of him just being there. Now he's an "incurable prick".

ramza was always a prick it's just more stark as time goes on because you expect someone like that to soften a bit over time but nope

HOOLY BOOLY posted:But Rathalos is a good example to why that doesnt work outside of gimmicks. Rathalos Extreme is fine though? Also, high floors of PotD and HoH count for reasonably difficult 4-man content (ok, not THAT difficult given people have nearly soloed it last I heard and probably have actually soloed past it since, as far as PotD up through floor 180 is concerned). I still have fond memories of the PotD behemoth rematch on floor 180. Obligatum VII fucked around with this message at 06:29 on Oct 1, 2018 |

Hobgoblin2099 posted:Pugs die on Phantom Train (Savage) like crazy, so I'll say yes. Oh god, Phantom Train. I only cleared O5S and O6S, but Phantom was definitely the harder of the two, and if I ever got ghost tethered, there was about a 50% chance I got passenger carted. I thought about the Larboard vs. Port debate, though, and the one advantage of Larboard is that if you had no idea what either meant, you can at least guess it means "the opposite of starboard." Maybe. I guess it's also better for symmetry or something.

To be able to start from Floor 150 if everyone in the party has reached it would be amazing.

Is the ARR raid content PUGable, or am I best avoiding it until I pull myself together and get into a FC?

It's a really easy fight Realtalk, do the veterans a favor and skip the cutscene at the start. Watch it at an inn afterwards. You'll probably get comms for that

You're a lame-o if you skip cutscenes. Speedrunner nerds need to sit down and get swirlied. Can't excuse MSQDR though.

Just dive in, especially if you are talking about the 24 man stuff like crystal tower, everything just melts and bosses barely get to do their gimmick. There are still one or two things you have to do but people will usually shout that stuff out before the fight. If you are talking Coils then you will probably have to join unsynced party finder groups and they melt pretty much like ARR ex primals. I think Turn 9 is still an exception where you might want to read a guide and try and get some help from vets but that’s about it.

Argas posted:Well, open-world PVP tends to breed ruthless behavior because the guidelines on it is open enough and there's no reason not to behave "dishonorably" in those cases. In WoW at least they also really want to encourage players to identify with their faction (Horde players are no doubt having issues with that right now) and hate the other like it's a sports team...or real life nationalism. wow has the worst implementation of open world pvp in the MMO sphere. and then a bunch of other MMOs went and copied that poo poo lmbo

Ramza bas Lexentale is a jerk but I'm curious what Ivalice part 3 will reveal about him. Hopefully he gets to switch clothing to look closer to Ramza Beoulve, because the St. Mocianne gear looks too drab on him.

I've sorta done that just once as a BLM. Got knocked off an edge due to being greedy with casts, as BLMs do, and I watched the healers revive the same monk 3 or 4 times before I decided to get up and go get a drink or something. I had a res and a 'you gonna join us?' waiting for me when I got back. It's petty but I didn't hurry back to life.

It is more than a little frustrating when you're not getting revived from your first death while other DPS who have had brink of death for three deaths straight continue to get raised. Doubly so when you have refresh and your healers are mana starved.

My favorite is when I'm spending the whole fight in o11 or o12 mana shifting the healers, finally get killed by something unavoidable because the healers are busy rezzing people who shouldn't be dead, and they leave me on the ground while they pick up the dragoon who has spent more time tanking the floor than being alive. E: that's a lie the best was when I died trying to be a hero vs Construct 7 by jumping into a stack with too few people, party had three rdm and they and the healers all had nearly max mp, and I stay on the ground for a good 90 seconds.
