Chakan posted:That is impressively bad, they may have been dealing with serious lag, or maybe it was the fabled little brother? Are these screenshots from ACT? does it do that now? I've always wondered about these folks until I actually met one of them. They're a cool person to talk to and I was excited to be friends with them but as soon as we went into an instance together it was like... ohhhh noooo. Like either they don't have a keyboard or they're the world's slowest typer, which is fine, but they prioritize responding to text messages above all else even while in mid-combat. So like as a healer they'll randomly go AFK for 30 seconds at a time and then you'll see a joke pop up in group chat. I've also gently suggested things like not randomly provoking the boss while they're standing behind it in alliance raids, and it sticks for like maybe a minute until they're once more skeet skatting and diddly bopping across their keyboard hitting whatever feels right. Like we duoed a dungeon for a blue mage skill and we talked about how we'd divide up the roles and how 1000 needles is the Big Damage Button in this instance, and then like 10 seconds into the boss fight they're just hitting random buttons on their hotbar. It was something out of a comedy, I'm benny hilling around trying to stay alive and do damage and meanwhile there's a dude in the corner going "I'm helping!!!" pelting them with fish and acorns and poo poo lol

What is this stupid series of quests post-stormblood even? Am I really trying to find someone to make wage slaves out of the ala mhigans literally days after liberating their home from the empire? The casino wouldn't hire them so I'm now trying to get the weaselly lalafell merchant guy from uldah to put them to work in a literal salt flat? And I'm traveling all over the world to find investment and trade partners for this endeavor?

It is, conceptually, very funny that no matter how high the WoL rises and to what strange lands they travel someone, somewhere, is going to make them go on another fetch quest for wine

The people involved with Ala Mhigo’s restoration are trying to get their industry up and running so that they can be self sufficient. I’m really not sure what a better solution would have been? Nanamo is also barely more than a figurehead in Ul’dah. She can’t just snap her fingers and make everything magically better either.

It was very upsetting seeing that, but on some level I guess it's more palatable to the audience/internet to build a capitalist exploitation operation than a socialist paradise.

They do throw a bone to the idea of the Ala Mhigans finding this to be kind of bullshit, if you go and do a sidequest in Ul'dah that unlocks a bit after all of that is over. I believe it starts at the guy in the alley that gives you one of the tutorial quests, and was a contact back in 2.x with the riot subplot? He outright states that a lot of Ala Mhigans still don't trust those monetarist assholes, and that they're essentially planning to unionize and use whatever scrap of power this venture gives them to hold their own. It's the best deal that Nanamo could have brokered, given her relative lack of power and her need to placate the capitalist fucks in charge. FFXIV's story has always been mealy-mouthed about genuinely addressing social change, but at least it's left open-ended for now.

Like, it doesn't GO anywhere but it at least does acknowledge that Ul'Dah loving sucks and Nanamo is a pure figurehead just trying her best to avoid yet another coup.

Onmi posted:Today, I had an encounter that made me wish for an Honest Healer. I was doing Eternity with my friend (She was playing Astrologian at the time) and we happened to get paired with the biggest collection of chuckle fucks I have ever met doing any content, ever. The other day I was playing black mage and my party wiped to the first boss of Matoya's Relict. It was weird - a dodgeable AoE killed the healer and badly mangled the RDM, the RDM just managed to resurrect the healer before dying to a raidwide AoE that the healer didn't top them off for, and then the healer just sort of stood there while the boss auto'd the tank to death. After the pull, the tank said something like "give me a couple minutes to fix up the healer's buttons, she's 5" And you know what? They did, and we cleared the dungeon, albeit a bit more slowly than I'm used to.
