Given the stinger at the end of the Return to Ivalice quests, we will definitely see a Math (Savage) boss at some point in the future. I'm down for more puzzle fights as long as they're interesting and have at least some variability. Bardam sub boss 2 and Haley Normal's sand trap are both neat but suffer for being exactly the same every time you do them.

Definitely being a bad player is a worse offense than being mean to a bad player though, especially if a bad player thinks they have the right to speak to me. I....had to read this multiple times to make sure i wasnt misreading it. jesus dude.

Krabboss posted:Okay I might finally have to stop playing this game until competent players resub. If I feel like doing anything other than Omega Savage/Story or EX trials, the people playing are just garbage. Some scholar with 3 70s just honest healed Shisui like a sprout in Sastasha. The pld didn't put on shield stance until the first boss and he still lost aggro on trash pulls after that. The blm had 1000 dps on trash pulls. I feel like blowing my brains out when I play this game.

Mordiceius posted:One of the best things about FFXIV is the mechanical consistency. It's one of the annoying things about WoW. One fight a purple circle means do not stand here. The next fight it means "stand here" That's not what he's saying. The meaning of the tells is the same, but interpreting them relative to other concurrent mechanics influences your behavior. Many people are bad at this. Sometimes, a damage circle is the better option relative to other things you could be hit by. Also, steadily expanding segmented AoEs. It's much faster to run into them than to try to go around.

I did enjoy Kefka and the first few times with his gimmick was very much a "clever girl" moment. I'd love to see more stuff like that. Just no gimmicks where if one person fucks it up, everyone dies. I hate that poo poo.

One thing I see a lot of is when it's down to like, one healer, one dps and two tanks, the dps will get marked by a stack marker and the tanks don't move so the lone healer runs in and stacks with the dps resulting in both of them dying instead of just the dps dying.

My misunderstanding then. I thought he meant having a fight where they want you to intentionally stand in an orange circle that almost kills you because there is a bigger, badder orange circle that will kill you right next to it or something like that.

It's not even that getting hit by the damage circle is the preferable option, it's timing two mechanics so you briefly use the damage circle indicator as a safe haven until a different mechanic resolves. The mechanics and markers are both normal, but the interesting encounter comes from how they interact together.

Worse, the healer gets marked but they're a million miles away and expects everyone to come to them. That's a dead healer imho.

Yeah. That sounds cool as hell and I definitely like when they do that. I just don't want them to ever do something like putting the stack arrows on someone but the mechanic actually requires that no one stacks. poo poo like that.

Saigyouji posted:Yes, it's always the same. Ah, it's where you start that can be different. I have memory of doing the puzzle differently, so I knew something was up. I'm a little spacey, but I'm not a complete idiot, I would've noticed doing the same thing every time.

Also there are a lot of fights where it's safe to stand in telegraphs because all they do is (survivable) damage. It's kinda dick to your healers, but they're usually spamming medica 2 anyway. Great example is the PBAOE circles at the start of Ivalice Ultima, they only do a couple thousand damage to dps characters and they don't inflict a debuff, but everyone moves out of them and disengages from the boss because ORANGE CIRCLE BAD.

When I got carried through omega normal to unlock savage my group made a point to not tell me any mechanics, and stopped dps on Hali so that I could do the sand trap puzzle, and they said anyone who was on my side HAD to follow me no matter what, since i'd never seen it before. i of course solved it correctly the first time.  Mordiceius posted:Yeah. That sounds cool as hell and I definitely like when they do that. nah they don't do that, they do poo poo like "there's a stack up marker but you have to spread out first and THEN stack up after the first thing hits" this game has a great system of introducing mechanics to you at a reasonable pace, and gradually stacking them and making them interact in more complicated ways the harder the content gets. it's fun. i spent like 2-3 hours last night wiping on O11S and had a great time, even though we didn't get very far. (though i gotta give most of the credit to that baller fuckin' theme music)

I didn't say that exactly, but definitely people who can do a 10 minute run should have priority over people who don't want to learn how to press their buttons. It's the best way to solve dps queues.

Fair enough, but that wasn't the post they were referring to. You'll just have to trust me that I was being insincere to rile people up. Well, they should actually have an in game parser, or something other grading system so people know when they're underperforming. Overwatch Porn posted:tell me more about how some people just don't deserve to play a videogame I mean, you can be angry at my tone if you want (which is fair enough because I am being intentionally hyperbolic), but it is disingenuous to suggest nobody here has been annoyed by incompetent players. There's screenshots of it and stories shared very frequently. I do genuinely believe there should be some benefit to being able to play a DPS class, because that's certainly more rare than a healer or a tank.

FFXIV seems to have the meta-organizational decision to want to keep people from telling low-skill players they're lovely, probably because the low skill player's money spends just the same.

In order to log into the game proper you should have to complete a DF savage raid. No exceptions. Yes this includes new players. Don't want unqualified rabble playing our game.

He's being an rear end in a top hat about it but maybe, just maybe, it would be nice to live in a world where we could all trust that somebody who has been playing the game from level 1 to 70 (soon to be 80) would know what the gently caress the various mechanical indicators mean and can ride their GCD.
