Is there a quick and dirty guide on how to do stuff in general with a controller in this game? I decided to finally grab a PS4 license (for backup in case something happens to my PC) before they get pull purchases but I literally have no clue how to operate the game on a controller. Can I upload my PC UI settings and apply them? Really not looking forward to setting everything up from scratch.

I believe you can upload your PC UI through the character select screen, but I'd go in expecting to have to adjust it no matter what. For a controller guide, there's a good write-up in the New Players thread.

You can sync your settings but, you're going to need to make totally new bars anyway because controllers don't use hotbars, they use crossbars.

just finished Endwalker and I need a place to post my extensive thoughts on the expansion: whole thing owned, grand finale owned, this game owns, got some gurren lagann vibes from the climax which also owned

Waffleman_ posted:Oh, also the 2002 login bug.... I'm a bit taken aback at times with how transparent they are with nitty-gritty details about how the game works in Yoshida posts. They frequently read more like one game developer's letter to another than a service provider making an address to customers. Most game company communiques set a base assumption that the player thinks computers are magic and MMOs are made by Gandalf. Maybe it's not surprising that they include that little detail with this particular revelation, since half the community assumed it already, but still.

theblackw0lf posted:Finished Endwalker and loved it, but have some story gripes. Yes his view was that all life was precious, but you've left out a crucial part of his worldview which was that living beings shouldn't suffer unnecessarily. This is borne out of a deeply personal struggle with depression where it appears that he feels his life is filled with lonely suffering. Given the number of predators on Elpis he has a hand in, he seems to have no issue with animals hunting each other, for instance. When we meet him on Elpis, he is searching for something to make it all seem worth it. Thus he created the Meteia to go out among the stars and return with information from other stars about what they see as the meaning of life. He hopes that they'll return with a plethora of answers and he can pick-and-choose the one that makes everything make sense. They return and tell him that there is no point, a ton of the civilizations they encountered were in the midst of killing themselves or had killed themselves, and that they all suffered greatly while inflicting untold harm on their world including to the flora and fauna. He believes the Meteia almost unquestioningly because, to Hermes, this seems to have confirmed a feeling that had been building in him--that life has no meaning and therefore the best way to minimize suffering is for all life to end. This is why he defends Meteion.

The last section of the dev notes about "suspicious services" has me very curious. Anyone have a clue what it's referring to?

I'm just guessing, but I suspect there are services where you get a discount on your sub by paying some dodgy provider in bitcoins or starbucks gift cards or something, and they log into your account to make the payment to square-enix with a stolen credit card

Not just so he shares their fate but so he can fight against it too. Despite all the despair and poo poo he felt leading up to that moment, it still spurs him to action. He might not know why he lives or what his purpose is in life, but he is determined to fight against the nihilistic notions that Meteion's hivemind bears at the moment. For all his mixed feelings on things, he still rejects "nothing matters lol, lmao".

Speaking of Interject, I was glad to see an interrupt mechanic in a dungeon boss this time around. I have no idea what True Bravery does because I’ve never let the boss cast it

It’s just extra utility. Bahamut is supposed to be more damage, but phoenix phase is still going to do more damage than any of the non bahamut ones

Phoenix is to heal yourself back up after you steal aggro with Bahamut and burn through both shields during the primals.

Nah, the 2002 mid-queue were always attributed to a connection interruption (90002 came up later and was also said to have the same cause). Errors 3001 and 4004 were always said to be on their end. That said, it's not like they were lying to us, either. They weren't hiding it, they didn't have anything showing them it was coming from something else. We can always think things are obvious from our perspective, but it's entirely possible that from their end whatever was causing the 2002 bug they found looked like interrupted connections.

Seriously, WAR and PAL especially, but GNB and DRK still are bringing the beef. It is disgusting how good your healing and mit are. DPS may have gotten a new class (or 2 depending on you look at it) and healer got 1...but tanks just got beefed. Also, these are the best tank queues, you are instaqueuing every dungeon and trial...and even alliance roulette isn't bad.

That said, don't expect to be able to beef through every dungeon with no issue, because right now we're getting an awful lot of healers who don't do much healing, especially around Shadow ringers dungeons.

Cool that a trait gives you a nerf That's an incredibly stupid way of looking at something but go off I guess. But yes technically as you level up you get to summon Bahamut less so you get fewer death flares so you lose like, 4 potency per second to get some utility.

On Adamantoise, Chi spawned while the servers were having issues last night. I can only imagine how furious people would be if they waited all day and missed out during the couple hours they were disconnected. Thankfully I didn't get kicked and happened to be there even though I wasn't waiting there very long. No fancy mount for me yet, though.
