hey machinists of SA (all two of you, looking at you ibblebibble and alakaiser), got a question i'm trying to move from my sort-of-learned-but-not-perfected 2 ammo opener to 3 ammo, so i spent some time learning it this morning using the big MCH guide and this image:  i've pretty much got the rotation down pat, but i'm running into an issue where when i interrupt my flamethrower to go into midfire with cooldown, reload and wildfire still have like 1 second of cooldown remaining and trying to squeeze them in throws off the end of my wildfire. i can't fit in the last cooldown without first losing overheat i don't seem to be clipping. my current sks total is 780~ and the sks total for the BiS gear i've seen floating around should put me around 790, so if anything i should be having the opposite problem. i also don't believe it's my ping because i just tested it and it should be around 30-40ms. either of you have any experience with this? i can take a video if needed

So, re-reading this server shuffle thing, everyone on primal gets a free transfer even if they're on a server that is not moving? If so, thats pretty sweet since I've been waiting out the loving housing auto demolition pause so I could get my money back before transferring with some friends. https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/topics/detail/11cadb280ca20f53f22e0b0885d1ebf675536bb9

If you also wanted to name change completely unrelatedly to your server move, I believe this is a way to sidestep that process too. Get another goon to roll a character with your current name on the server already, should work, I think.

I'm going to look closer when I get a break but I feel like you're using flamethrower one GCD too early e; If you want to wildfire at 65 heat you're going to have to delay flamethrower slightly. Rather than instantly hitting flamethrower wait a little bit more in to the GCD cooldown so that you don't overheat too quickly before wildfire is back up. I checked in that guide you posted and I think it's saying the same thing but the wording is a little vague. Dryzen fucked around with this message at 23:49 on Feb 28, 2019 |

As one of the few MCH players I would help out but I use 3 ammo high ping which goes up to 95 heat before FT so I never have this issue

Ytlaya posted:What should I use my Heavensward beast tribe tokens on? I have a whole bunch from getting them all to rank 8. Does any of that stuff sell well, or is it just for crafting Heavensward gear If you can’t find anything that sells well (maybe check glass fibers from the moogles) there’s a couple things you can do. If you are interested in making Anima relic weapons you can buy Unidentified items that are used for a step or if you want cash you could try holding on to them for the next housing rush and buy a bunch of the furnishings and put them up on the MB. I did that when shriogane released and made a decent profit. If Ishgard housing is released people are going to want that Ishgard themed bonfire circle from the Vanu and they will want that poo poo now.

Are there any goons in Tonberry/Kujata/EN-friendly JP servers? Considering taking the free transfer there once the data center split happens so that I can raid again, as my current job keeps me on an AUS 9-5 work schedule.

Xerophyte posted:Roulettes are a sort of combination of timewalking and LFD/LFR, yes. FF14 heavily incentivizes queuing for random old content at max level or to level alt jobs, both through making the roulettes very rewarding and through some other mechanics you'll come across later. It has to, since the main story is 100% required and if the game stopped progressing while you spent hours finding an appropriately level group for some level 30 story trial you'd just quit. What I did when I joined FFXIV was sort all the post-game content by what patch it came out during and did it all in release order. That way you can space out the MSQ stuff with dungeons and raids, etc. I'm not necessarily recommending you do everything; I started playing during 3.1 and didn't catch up until 3.55, so you can save some things for later if you want.

I'm kinda worried about how PLD will pan out with them moving everything over to MP costs, since half the rotation is drain the mana pool, then the other half to restore it, and I don't want to go back to "My bars are completely full, but it feels like I don't have any buttons to press."

Going to make an interest call for SEA/AUS/NZ/general Oceanic players who are interested in playing in a datacenter with decent ping. I'm planning on using the free transfer that comes with the datacenter reshuffle in April to transfer to Kujata and start up a goon FC there. Would like to see who's interested in transferring along with me to start things up. Edit: also accepting ideas for FC names/tags.

Considering taking the free transfer there once the data center split happens so that I can raid again, as my current job keeps me on an AUS 9-5 work schedule. I'm on Tonberry. Being on a JP server is fine, you just sacrifice things like conversations in dungeons with rando's for a much higher average skill floor in all levels of content. (There's a reason why our savage clear rate is better than all of NA/EU) It's very easy to PUG savage/ex content, i don't do it because it doesn't interest me, but many people in my FC do and it's pretty much "Follow the macro, do your rotation, don't gently caress up and you'll win". You'll be locked out of PF most of the time, as parties are JP only.

PF = Party Finder, where you can create custom groups with various conditions and prerequisites, like item level, language selection, job selection, etc. You wouldn't be locked out entirely, but the groups are manually created and you could get booted for not knowing the language. You can always create your own or join a less common English group. Otherwise you can use DF, (Duty Finder), the regular random group queue.

Yeah, there's nothing stopping you from creating your own party, but the JP only restriction only applies to Extreme or Savage level content. For everything else, just queue via the Duty Finder (DF) in all languages and you'll be matched with other players. 99% of the time these will be JP players, but as I said earlier, no one really talks outside of a "Hello" and "Thank you" at the start and end so no need to worry about any language barrier.

I mean if this FC plan goes through and we have enough people interested in raiding we might start up a goon static. Will be Kujata-based though since I doubt that Tonberry will have the space or the housing for a bunch of ping refugees.

Probably not by the time all the transfers go through, but there are several plots available on Tonberry now that 45 days have passed since the auto demolition timer resumed. I have no idea what the Kujata housing situation is like.

i UNDERSTAND now, i have seen into the MCH matrix (danger noodle ex dummy parse:)  there's still a lot of room to improve just through gear, but spending an afternoon to knuckle down and truly understand what my rotation should be like and what sks really does for me, it all makes sense now. i feel like i made nearly a 1k improvement off that alone now i just gotta do it while doing, you know mechanics

There's "did they drop some actual japanese into the chat upon joining instead of autotranslate? meh it'll probably be fine" and "your primary client is set to <not japanese> so we're just going to remove you on principle", so if you do actually have a spot of japanese under your belt you can make attempts at PUGing at least some of the time.

I ended up figuring out the proper rotations after like 10m of just figuring poo poo out on my own which made me be so much better at remembering the rotations. I have yet to truly figure out MCH because I feel like once I figure it out and learn it, it'll be too daunting to consider doing in a duty. But man female MCH /cpose is neat.
