Impermanent posted:people tell me that in organized play superbolide is amazing It’s shorter cooldown hallowed ground with a bit less duration, but the duration was never really the reason hallowed ground was bonkers good anyway. I’ve heard there can be issues with taking a hit in the split second between losing all your health and the invuln going up, so probably not as good at doing huge dick dungeon pulls?

Superbolide is way better than living dead. It drops them to one, but they don't need to be healed to full or even at all, and they are immune to damage (unlike Homlgang which is still the best).

I've been enjoying the hell out of Dark Knight but Living Dead doesn't seem like a super useful button so far. Maybe at higher levels (I just hit 53).

It's basically only for big fuckoff tankbusters, or annoying mechanics that it's better to blow a bunch of cooldowns than actually do.

Captain Oblivious posted:Again, you misunderstand the explanation they themselves gave us. The Umbral Shard rejoining is what empowered Bahamut in the first place. It's not a physical thing, the shard is converted to aspected aether which does it's thing, amplifying what is already occurring. if anything, stopping Bahamut's rampage was probably seen as a positive by the ascians. it weakened Hydalen and left a society developed enough to initiate another rejoining in the space of a single decade, not centuries.

It's definitely an ability that requires coordination. It's something you plan to use in advance, with coordination with your healer, which gives you a ton of effective mitigation. In a static raid it can be amazing. With randos, it's not very good.

Bahamut was a proper calamity causing a rejoining and, according to the Encyclopedia Eorza, Astrally charged, not umbrally (no real shadowbringers spoilers here, just Bahamut stuff from coil and post ARR.

So which shards exactly have been rejoined? I know the one that became the Void CAN'T, because something went too far there and it made a mass of darkness instead.

The shards at this point are capital G Gone, so I don't think there's really names for them anymore. The problem with the Void was that they just drained ALL the aether instead of tilting it to a specific element, so there was no way for it to connect to the source. It's not actually dark aligned either, as you can see one of the shards that's already been rejoined in Emmet-Selch's little lecture was a dark aether rejoining.

Irritation question for one of the dungeon bosses. Storge in particular. It does some kind of square/triangle beam thing after about 50%, and I've been doing it with a trust. I follow Thancred around which has usually worked out, except I can literally be standing on top of him and the beam clips me. If the beam clips me twice I die and the fight resets. This is very frustrating. Where am I supposed to stand? Am I like literally one pixel outside of the space, or are the Trust guys just immune? e: Figured it out. The trick is to ignore Thancred and stand at the vertices. Hurray! Nessus fucked around with this message at 11:43 on Jul 7, 2019 |

Finally! Today, I finally got my new main job up to level 70 (actually my old main job, I abandoned Black Mage at level 55 but I still liked it well enough, so it's my new best friend) and got started into Shadowbringers! After doing the initial opener, I've realized that forcing a job other than my old main up fifteen levels in a week and then immediately jumping into it after a Main Scenario duty roulette it actually was the right thing to do. Because the correct emotion to have during those initial Crystarium quests is 'frustrated, annoyed and a little tired'. That entire opener plays a lot like your character just has a ranging hangover and is gritting their teeth and dealing with the fact that everything's so bright, nobody understands what you're saying, half of them are laughing at you, you're being told all these things and you really have no idea if any of it's important but you want it all to stop, and there's so many stairs... It jumps in quality basically the second the game lets you out into a field zone, though. I love that the setting's grim and horrifying as hell while wearing a totally unexpected face for that, it's like the whole expansion is 'Final Fantasy does Shin Megami Tensei' and it's great. I also love what it chooses to underplay and not discuss; They never outright say that it's an Earth-2 situation, because in truth it doesn't matter, they just let you have the 'wait isn't this--ohhhhh' moment by yourself. I think it works better if you go to meet with Alisae before Alphinaud, though, it's less obvious with her which makes it more of a slow realization. Just now left off after finishing both of the (first?) branching quest paths.

If I made a members account to play the Steam demo, but I want to buy the game on the SE store, do I need to change the email address associated with my steam demo account in order to use that same email address on my "real" account for the subscription? I don't want to sub through Steam. Pretty much I want to start over completely but use the same email address for the different PC platform. When I tried making a new account with the same email the system told me it's already in use, which it is, by me, for the steam demo which I will never touch again. Follow up question: Do I need a new store account, too? I don't think I do, but I don't want to mess it up. My current store account is linked to the Steam demo account that I will never use again, can I re-link it to the new Members account I will make, or is there no reason to do so?

I had that happen to me twice already in big pulls, so I don't use it anymore. Also, zone talk I just made it to rak'tika and it's already my least favorite zone. The cult people are extremely boring and the trees all look horrible, pixelated and low res, it's like I suddenly been dropped into a playstation 2 era game.

Nessus posted:Regarding your spoiler, it has been really sad when I spotted some of them. I'm pretty sure that despairing orphan outside of Eulmore just inside the gates is Khloe. I haven't been noticing the NPCs, because I honestly haven't been paying the closest attention to that, and am also bad at recognizing faces, so the only one I picked was Rowena's double because her use of the word 'Splendors' made me zoom in to make sure. On thinking about it, though, I think the doctor that gives the bad diagnosis to the singer might be the head of the Alchemist's Guild? The geography has been the fun part of it for me, though. The first one I noticed was that the Inn in Amh Araeng is Little Ala Mhigo, and man, that place is miserable in every universe, huh?

funkymonks posted:Post MSQ Spoilers The only thing I didn’t like was the stinger after the MSQ with Zenos. He is probably my main issue with SB and now he is going to make ShB patch content less interesting. He sucks. He looks like a creep and is a bad boring villain. His motivations are really loving stupid. Everything about him is bad. This, but also Ran'jit, who was also kind of boring to me. Zenos was funny just being a teleporting edgelord back when Stormblood had nobody to distract from, but there was genuinely tension of whether Varis was going to cause some serious damage with Black Rose that's gone now because "Heh, nothin' personnel, father." Also, making Elidibus look like a Lahabrea level chump.

Holy poo poo, hackers do not gently caress around in this game. Bot named Vhfopdsfihjf Wdhjdifh or whatever was just teleporting all around the area instagibbing the mobs I was hunting for a quest. That would have been a lot more frustrating if I didn't have an instant cast DoT to tag them with as they respawned. e: also the process for reporting cheaters is laughably primitive. I have to manually type all the information into the support ticket, as opposed to being able to say place: here, time: now, character: the one I'm targeting who's blipping around the area like Agent Smith.
