 For reference, these are the icons that can appear The dot in the top right of the first weapon means it's dyable, and what colour it currently is. The plus in the top right of the second shows that it has its appearance glamoured over, and that it's also been dyed or is dyable. The notepad in the bottom right shows it's part of a gear set. The red plus with the black internal means it's been glamoured over, but cannot be dyed.

CYBEReris posted:also give sch a fairy laser array they can spend a full fairy gauge to command Squenix doesn't seem to like SCH spending gauge on damage and I'm guessing that goes for the faerie gauge as well as the aetherflow gauge too. Which is sad because I'm really dumb about using my fairy properly so having a big laser for it is definitely something I'd remember to use and it would make me more effective than sticking it to the tank.

bewilderment posted:Squenix doesn't seem to like SCH spending gauge on damage and I'm guessing that goes for the faerie gauge as well as the aetherflow gauge too. I think it's just that they hate having a resource that is used for either damage or healing, not both. Afflatus Misery exists because it's not an either or; WHM gets that damage back as a natural part of healing, while SCH has to choose between dealing damage or healing with its limited Aetherflow stacks. Judging from how they had to be yelled at to put Energy Drain back, I'd assume that 6.0 will either rework Energy Drain to not key off Aetherflow, or use a dedicated damage resource or simply get removed entirely for some other damage button.

The fact that the armory chest is barely big enough to hold one of every weapon for every job is a travesty when most of the relic quests require you to be hotswapping them around with spares and you literally are not allowed to be without a mainhand weapon

If you need to use a hotbar for stuff, just copy it into an existing one. Like, for example, I have a menu bar made from three hotbars: one holds the root, which has buttons that copy stuff on to the other two. So if I want to change my mount or emote lineups or whatever, I don't go and switch to Conjurer or Arcanist. I just make the changes in place and copy them back. So if a button on the root menu goes "/hotbar copy cnj 6 share 9" then I make my changes on share 9 and then do "/hotbar copy share 9 cnj 6". Much less effort than changing to a class, plus you get to see the changes where they'd be used. EDIT: This is, however, presuming a mouse and keyboard setup. If you're, for example, on PS4 with no real keyboard, typing in the macro each time you want to write changes would be really annoying, and so your way would absolutely be better.

bewilderment posted:The thing is that healing is as a mechanic generally (not just in MMOs, games in general) not great for game health. It means progress for one side slows down, or even goes backwards. As long as they don't make kills happen faster than the opposing side can react to counter (see: when assassins get fed in a MOBA) stuff that does more damage faster or in some interesting pattern is better for game health than stuff that stalls out a game. MMOs without the holy trinity loving suck. Hope that helps. bewilderment posted:You could at least compare it to Guild Wars 2, a game that didn't pin its hopes on catering to the extreme raider/poopsock market. This is insane. You’re loving insane. GW2’s remove of the trinity is one of the things that made the game completely loving miserable. Dungeons were miserable.

No, no, you don't understand. The trinity is old and bad game design and ffxiv should be more like destiny and the division. They already play so similarly! Edit: I'd also like to note that the division also has threat as an actual stat. Bigger, louder guns made enemies shoot at you more often, and the riot shield you could use also drew enemy fire. As in, players could adopt a bulkier role to draw fire away from squishier allies, like a tank. Poops Mcgoots fucked around with this message at 00:52 on Dec 22, 2020 |

So I might have the shittiest wishlist ever, but I wish they'd readdress ilvl sync for lower level raids. Instead of syncing a lvl 50 LotA to 130, would it be so bad to just be min ilvl +30? It would still be trivially easy, but far more interesting. Lota, Syrcus, and Void Ark would be a lot more fun if they lasted long enough to do anything in.

Zombie Dragon was a nightmare if you had too many newbies, or tanks that didn't know where you were supposed to drag it. I think it's at just the right level now, it's a good introduction to raiding, with WoD being the wake-up call where you have to pay attention to some new mechanics.

I can almost grant lota, because they're still mostly just target dummies, but syrcus has a lot of mechanics which would still be decent enough. All in all they're terrible introductions to raids, because they don't introduce anything (except wiping to meteor).

biggest tip for helping manage your armory chest is not making all new gear deposit into it immediately, so you only move new stuff/upgrades into it yourself and keep the random longstop gear you got from levelling roulette in your inventory to just desynth/turnin/whatever in a more delineated way

I mean, Bone Dragon would probably wipe most pugs alone, although it would be funny to have Alliance C actually be able to do something on the Thanatos fight. Other than that, we'd have people being blown up by lightning towers on Behemoth and Scylla, Glasa actually having mechanics that I don't think people have done in the last 5 years, or people remembering "oh poo poo Cloud of Darkness had a wave of worm adds that could actually gently caress up the entire raid."

They should actually move the crystal tower raids out of adr and into msq roulette so that I can go back to doing adr. Edit: All content I personally don't want to do should be in MSQDR so every dungeon under level 40, Void Ark, A1, A2, O10, and frontlines: secure.
