Hey weird question, but is anyone having their nvidia drivers completely die playing this game lately?
Nope, mine have been working just fine. Maybe you need to update/revert an update?

:rant:
Tonights play session was entirely dedicated to trying to unlock floors 51-60 in the Palace of the Dead so I could follow goon advice and repeat them until my character was around level 48-49 and be set for at least a few more story beats.

I have gotten to the boss of floor 50 exactly one loving time. Six goddamn attempts more have all failed due to lure traps spawning a fuckton of wraiths. After I finish burning Ishgard down, PotD is getting napalmed.

E: "Just use the Witching thing!" someone is typing. That requires the RNG to give us the damned thing to begin with!

Doing your dungeons is better, honestly, for the most part. Dungeon roulette/spam the highest level dungeon you have. If you're in a goon FC, ask if someone wants to come along so you can borrow their healer or tank queues.

Darkhold's okay but to be perfectly honest I'd rather bash my face in against PotD than do Aurum Vale, though I'd also just say gently caress it and grind FATEs and leves in Mor Dhona once I got sick of that.

Drivers done, gpu isnt overheating or overclocked, clean install of FFXIV, though it seems like a sweetfx ini was left in there. It seems to be running ok, but I'm very paranoid atm because it comes without any warning, there's no stutters or FPS loss or anything.

Also holy moley the regalia is very expensive, I'm just about done with HS and I've had 0 spare time in game to go mess about in golden saucer

So, giving you every piece of the class armor set except the chest is kind of a dick move. Especially when your class trainer lives in a frozen hellhole.

It's even sillier, once you complete the last quest not only do you finally get given a shirt but they also give you an entire second set of the same armour in a slightly different shade with better stats.

I don't even care about personally ever having the mount. I just think that they've put in a mount that is objectively the best mount in the game (aka the only four person mount in the game) and made it cheap enough that anyone could get it with an afternoon of casual play.

Eureka has broken your brain because a 4 person mount has 0 relevance anywhere outside of Eureka. The real objectively best mount in the game is the cloud bike because it always moves at speed upgrade 1 minimum and that's going to be very nice while levelling in shadowbringers. So expect to see a lot of bikes until people hit level cap.

to be fair that second part didn't exist until fairly recently

the real silly part is that you just replace everything with augmented ironworks immediately anyways and then your "epic conclusion to your class questline" ends up being so easy that you're surprised when it ends because you were still waiting for the hard part

Yes, yes. I actually don't have the Mikoshi yet, but I'm super close and once I get it I'm replacing my random mount button for it and never looking back.

Also, if I ever change my avatar I'm changing the text to "Wasshoi, motherfuckers". Just letting you know.

I used Blue Mage for the FFXV event because it's probably one of the few times it'll be possible to use it for level 50 content. I cheesed the suction thing with Mighty Guard/Diamondback and took like no damage from it. The change in NPC targeting means White Wind healed Noctis as well.

I think it will be removed from GS after the event ends and will *not* be added to Mog Station, since other crossover event items have never shown up there.

Within a year there will be some other four seat mount you can pay $30 for though.

e: the Garo stuff is the only crossover event gear that has remained available, probably because it continues to be a carrot to get people to fill out pvp queues.

Yeah, I'm the opposite. Don't like how clunky the medieval stuff looks. Might be a race thing, I'm sure it looks better on a Roe or Potato, but my catgirl is built for agility.

They added the FF13 stuff to Mog Station? I guess I never noticed it there. Maybe they would eventually add the car then. I guess that would make sense rather than leaving the :10bux: x3 on the table.

There was 3? I only remember the one with the journalist catgirl going "omigod lightning is so cool and everything she is in just flies off the shelf MAKE SURE YOU BUY LIGHTNING RETURNS" and then you do some fates where lightning shows up, says something some guy at SE thought was cool, then walks away.

I didn't camp with Lightning, or fish with her. So her event is dumb AND stupid.

To elaborate on this, it gives you plenty of time to adjust your timing rather than mash the special duty action as soon as it comes off cooldown to time it right. You're basically supposed to pop it after she pulls you in. Once you sync your timing to that, and just mash it when it comes off cooldown, you've got the timing right for avoiding the actual cast.

You're also supposed to run behind the monument after you warp to it.

Giving you your class armor sans chest, at the same level where you'll be wearing the coliseum fetish chestpiece if you've been doing dungeons, was extremely smart design.
