Tataru Trust as a hardmode modifier. She just spends the entire dungeon screaming at her carbuncle to actually do something.

A Moose posted:Welp, spent an hour or so in boza, tried to get a castrum run, but 15 people showed up, someone pulled the first boss and everyone left. What's the discord that's doing free Castrum carries? Why would the resolution be a drastic reengineering of content to make it solo, rather than tweak the rewards a bit to get people running it?

I love doing a Tamtara run and casting a healing spell one (1) time. SCH rules.

Why is buying a house such a pain in the rear end? It's already hard enough IRL.

As a first time healer, I am feeling way more stress and anxiety during dungeons than I have with any other class. Earlier today during a dungeon roulette, my entire party started taking heavy damage and I pretty much panicked and lost focus on keeping everyone healed. I'm still fairly early in levels (35 so far), and I'll stick with it a bit longer, but healing just may not be for me.

It's already hard enough IRL. compared to some houses I see, I am perfectly fine with an apartment that looks like a room decorated by a horder with only the glamour box, music player, and cutscenes book accessible. The only music you hear is the powerman 5000 music-esque going on repeat If I had a house it would be basically the same and would piss people off when they walk inside! drat I want one now just to raise other player's cockles.

Getting more confident in your ability to keep people up, knowing what your tools are, getting a feel for when you need to start throwing out everything you have or if you just need to toss out some regen and get back to DPSing. It will all come with time, and along the way you're going to be anxious when you have dumb tanks and/or DPS who stand in AOEs all the time.

Consummate Professional posted:Wow, I finally hit the end of the MSQ. Now to figure out what I want to tackle next. This game is so drat fun. I think I'm almost right where you are, G'raha is young boy again and the character with the most punchable face is back as an ascian now. And I'm also wondering why no one (read Y'shtola or Urianger) is asking the hard questions like are we just Heidi's tempered so I've got a little bit to go.

Just keep at it and you too will become a jaded healer, seething as you watch people not even trying to dodge telegraphed mechanics.

Zeruel posted:Why is buying a house such a pain in the rear end? It's already hard enough IRL. Based on the last informal player census there are over 900 thousand active players in the game right now. A single ward is 30 plots of land. The supply is so low, and demand so high, that even when XIV devs do some heroic backend adjustments to server structure to give everyone an extra 3-4 plots in every region the result is still, to quote the late great Terry Pratchett, a bit like the ocean warming itself around a candle when the horde of homeless players descend on those wards for one of the precious slots. This state of affairs will continue as long as the devs maintain this stubborn insistence in maintaining these discrete neighbourhoods where people can move around and look at other player's houses in these full areas hosted by the server. It just doesn't work in a game the size of XIV anymore, and since the devs have given no indication whatsoever that they'll change strategies (see the latest announcement of Ishgard housing using wards, which will all vanish exactly as fast as every other housing expansion) it will remain a pain in the rear end forever.

They are but I wouldn't mind if my house were instanced off into its own zone if it meant more people could have houses too.

I don't think housing could even feasibly be all put into a singular instanced zone. Aren't even things like the innroom actually a single place that you just can't see other people in? Or was that misinformation.

RME posted:the neighborhoods are cool I mean yeah don't get me wrong the neighbourhoods are cool and I love living in mine but they are a relic of a game that wasn't nearly as popular as it currently is and the relative numbers here just diminish the experience for so many people. They've kind of tried to address this with the big apartment buildings but it doesn't work because people know the difference between a room to decorate and an actual house. When I got my large mansion in Mist it was right after personal housing had been implemented; I didn't have the money to buy it right away so I let the plot sit, for about two weeks, so that the price would go down to become affordable. That kind of situation was expected with how housing was initially designed and it's a different goddamn planet from the current state of the game and the game's housing.

So here's an approach I never see anyone take about this part. Y'shtola and Urianger rarely, if ever, miss a clue, especially between them. Far as the story goes, they're basically the smartest people in the room at any point, and their judgements can be trusted. If they never even entertain the theory that you're tempered by Hydaelyn, you probably aren't.

Yes I'm WHM, now at least. I was having some trouble during Halatali as a SCH, since all the fire adds weren't being dealt with, and were causing continuous harm to everyone. Unfortunately, I didn't have any MP regen either, so it got hectic.

Re the theory: We know that Tempering now basically represents a person's soul being so hugely shifted to a specific aether and that is what allows for the primal to control it. Presumably that is something Y'shtola would notice with aethersight much how she noticed the WoL was blazing with light aether.

I wish party finder wasn't so terrible, and that my schedule wasn't so unstable. Thinking of parting ways with my current savage tier static because the lack of structure and the lack of respect for people's time is just not there. It's very sad. And I am very sad. Cuz I will probably end up quitting the tier.

The issue here is that it isn't stubborn insistence. Having an established housing ward where you can decorate and see your neighbors is a genuinely important part of the feel of housing wards. If they tried to remove that people would rightly be furious about it. Especially like RP groups who would suddenly have one of their main RP avenues shut down. There isn't an easy solution here but you can bet that people would be furious at having housing gutted like that. One thing they mentioned before is potentially increasing the size of apartments or allowing M/L size apartments too and that could at least help alleviate the pain. Apartments are usually plentiful on any server, people just don't like them because they are so small and because you can't decorate them as part of a ward. The former can hopefully be fixed but the latter kinda shows why removing wards entirely would be a problem. ImpAtom fucked around with this message at 04:16 on Feb 14, 2021 |

But on the other hand, the WoL’s goals seem to coincide with Crystal Mom’s, but we’re not really devoted to her in the same sense. Now that I think about it, she’s never really told us what she stands to gain from all of this besides “you must defeat the dark ones (and I want to live so please save me too)”

She's a Primal created to counter Zodiark, so what she wants to do is to stop the Ardor and keep the Ascians from awakening him. Which, uh. Mission accomplished I guess!

We get to the first boss and while I’m trying to watch the Draw cooldown and get the buttons straight and target the right DPS with my dpad, I let the tank die. Like straight up 100% my fault due to tunnel vision. Probably the biggest faux pas you can make as a healer. No words were exchanged. I Swift-ressed them, we finish the boss and the rest of the dungeon without incident, though I do feel like they started pulling a bit smaller on purpose. If that’s the result of me committing a total gently caress-up, then I guess there really isn’t any need to be so stressed.
