Gotta remember, people are incredibly dumb.

Also I got dced in the middle of a potential success on a extreme, so that stings.

To be fair he had been “The Crystal Exarch” for a lifetime. He even comments at one point he had nearly disassociated himself from who he had once been. He has lived a LONG time. At least a century helping the Ironworks with the crazy scheme and then almost another century in The First.

Makes sense.

Also, I just hit the last dungeon and :supaburn:

Too bad the server died right before I could kill the last boss.

If anyone has a real answer let me know

I think Gunbreaker is mechanically closer to WAR than DRK. Realistically it seems like all the tanks are shocking similar right now. Everyone has pretty similar toolbox and it seems to largely vary in flavor.

Don't put points into luck, they said.

It's a useless stat, they said.
Doing some more thinking on the MSQ and storytelling (endgame story spoilers):

I think overall they did a great job with pacing. The five lightwardens gave you milestones to look forward to and Emet revealed himself as the big bad at exactly the right moment to build tension.

The one part I feel suffered was early Tempest. It felt like such an abrupt halt to the buildup the story had been working towards. It wouldn't have been as bad if it weren't for the game throwing typical fetch quests at you and the level 80 and role quest gating by an inconsequential NPC. Amaurot made the wait worth it, but it could've been a lot smoother.

Well, maybe no one actually buys it. Have you checked the actual history and not just what is listed? Like I saw L.80 crafter/gatherer tools listed at 1.5m, but they sure as hell weren't selling.

What is going on with this?? I played through a dungeon on the PS4, did a couple missions, figured whatever server issue was going on was probably resolved, and went upstairs to log in on PC (which I prefer generally). Now there's a queue of nearly 4000 which seems loving unreal to me.

theres a lot of weird warrior changes that i don't like. i feel a lot weaker than i did at level 70 and it kinda blows. can't overheal myself like crazy anymore, even inner chaos doesn't hit as hard as my fell cleaves used to. (i know i know, warrior was OP before but it still stings to get nerfed)

does having more beast gauge still give extra crit chance? or is that just gone?

Nascent flash is bloodbath but it also heals your target and its on a 25 second cooldown and is way better than the healing options we had before, it's my go to for the beginning of every big pull and I haven't had any trouble pulling wall to wall with a variety of healers.

Do not use the car please ok thank you

As much as possible use your non-Fire spells during Umbral Ice so that you can most efficiently use your MP regen ticks

With the changes to MP, the increased timer, the second polyglot, and the level 72 trait this is actually far less important than it used to be. As long as you’ll have two spells in your UI phase (and b4 is free so you just need one other) and you don’t lose a fire spell or a despair, you’re not losing anything. There are times when casting thunder 3 in fire phase is the right choice, now. It depends on what the state of your class gauge, your mp, and your procs are, of course

It's a good point, I definitely have to play less perfectly. Doing old dungeons is way harder because everything kills your momentum. I think BLM DPS sucks until Firestarter basically.

You’re 100 percent correct and even though blm is my main I refuse to take it into leveling roulette :V


But also what’s exciting is that unlike previous expansions, what counts as perfect is a lot less rigid! So if you are aiming for that there’s more flexibility to deal with mechanics without sacrificing dps

There was a big datacenter crash a few hours back, and then some persistent problems with certain internet routes they're investigating: https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/news/detail/8cda654c85c32c404dec04efc315811ba0ab0d7c

The servers went down briefly, possibly from a DDoS attack. Now everyone's waiting in queue to log back in.

It's my fault, guys, I looked at the Excal market board and saw that people were selling the 78 HQ crafted axe for something like eight times vendor NQ, got mad, remembered that World Visit is a thing, figured out how to do that, and then went and ransacked every other server on our datacenter for cheapo PLD swords to get my BSM desynth over the hump. I think I walked away with something like 50 of them from 15K to 20K apiece.

(also got me a smashy hammer! Which I was in the process of taking screenshots using just before the servers went kablooey)

Yeah I think the Steppe is generally held to be the best zone in Stormblood.

I think in light of Shadowbringers SB is gonna look like the poor sister of the expansions, but they probably felt they had no choice, and they might not have felt there was enough compelling story content to do a full Othard expac. So, marry the two and get it out the door.

The one thing I'll miss from Stormblood is the Japanese/Asian-themed music (though we get some stuff that is just as good in exchange).

One interesting thing I noticed from the intro cutscene (which I watched on my laptop, even though I'm putting off playing until I come back from vacation and have my PC) is that it seems to be lip-synced to English, with the Japanese voice acting being very clearly unsynced. Kinda an interesting inversion of how those things usually go.

Armoire is special storage for some special items that doesn't use glamour dresser space. But usually only holiday/event items get to go in there.
