Eimi posted:I think the easy fix is just to increase rewards for the harder raids. No one tries to force Castrum in MSQ roulette, everyone wants Praetorium. I mean I think this probably is because they have the same ilevel requirement. I get what you're saying (and disagree, honestly, because if higher content had more rewards I think you'd likely see the same people just figuring out how to afk through higher content), but I don't think it's even possible to force CM over Praet.

Bardam’s is usually fine for me in roulette unless I’m healer. If I’m on healer, I always have the luck of getting the tank who wants to pull enemies up to the boss door yet they’re armed in a dinner cloth and butter knife and never uses any cooldown ever

You can actually skip the add phase now! The level squish made all the 4-man bosses faster, so if everyone is on the ball you just kill it before it even has a chance to summon the adds, it's great. That said, this one is annoying for the pulls and second boss. It's the only other dungeon besides Aurum Vale where I often see wipes on the first pull, some tanks are just too greedy and also refuse to press their mitigation buttons. e: Actually, that's not true, I've also had wipes on the first pull in Doma Castle, for some reason. Just on undergeared tanks, I guess. Begemot fucked around with this message at 20:42 on Dec 22, 2021 |

I got Pharos Sirus in 5/6/7/8 a few days ago and I really kind of hate that place. Every fight was confusing mechanics noone remembered. Why the hell is that bird such an rear end in a top hat.

Mechanist by comparison is called a very easy class because it doesn't have many buttons but I find it uses much more of my attention because you hit those buttons many more times, much faster. someone did an FFLogs review once and I think BLM was the job with the lowest APM

Ooh, fun! Worsts: Leveling: 1000 maws of toto-rak. So boring. 5678: copperbell hard. too many mechanics that nobody remembers. trials: steps of faith. Extremely boring, you can still wipe here too if your DPS isn't great and people mess up the dragonkillers. MSQ: Castrum. Done it a billion times and the cannon boss is awful. guildhests: the one where you have to kill all the enemies at the same time is maybe the worst instanced content in the game alliance raids: LotA. Awful bosses, awful boring dungeon design, done it a billion times, people always try to skip an ancient flare on the last boss and fail making it take even longer. normal raids: eyes of the creator. Hope you feel like explaining or everyone remembers what to do! troofs fucked around with this message at 20:39 on Dec 22, 2021 |

I'd love to join in on the worst lists but I don't do Guildhest or 5/6/7/8 roulettes enough to properly judge them, so I'll just take this time to complain about Copperbell Mines again.

I almost wish it was because that's some pure strain crazy. Any good Persephone shipper knows the dynamic is Emet constantly having a headache from having to deal with Azem's poo poo which is the furthest thing from a tradwife imaginable lmao

Hey, so, just gonna AsAJew this one: "The Ascians are Jews" is some absolute fuckin' nonsense. The closest one can say is that the longing of the Ascians for their Unsundered World renewed resonates - but very much is NOT THE SAME AS, and is explicitly their most sympathetic quality - tragically with any disapora people's historical reckoning with their lost homeland. A sympathetic quality in common is just...a sympathetic quality in common. Goblins, with their wandering diasporic existence, social ostracism, ingenuity and focus on intellectualism, are closer to a positive resonance with the Jewish experience.

My pick for worst frontline is Borderland Ruins because my experience with it is having my tram walk back and forth between two control points, capturing each one uncontested each time, then repeating endlessly They don't hold points, they just capture and leave, at which point one guy walks over to flip it back Occasionally you get a fight in no man's land but otherwise it's just a holding pattern until the middle lights up

That should not be a hot take because it matches much much better and I said as much in the other thread  The Garleans are a legitimately victimized ethnic group driven from their ancestral homeland of goddamn near a thousand years ago who have internalized a might makes right mentality and believe they can only defend themselves from the same victimization via aggressive imperialism.

Captain Oblivious posted:That should not be a hot take because it matches much much better and I said as much in the other thread Yeah no. Even just in sheer scope of atrocities, no. Garlemald's position as a world-spanning empire of vast atrocities and unstoppable military expansion up until it was destroyed from within makes it a grotesquely bad fit for the analogy of Israel even if we discount recent Jewish history. Oh and let's not talk about "the manifestation of a timeless conspiracy of evil wizard ghosts." It's Britain. It's extremely Britain.

Garlemald is another Britain!

Garlemald is Rome? Like they even use Latin. (the correct answer of course is that Garlemald takes bits of several empires and combines them to form an extremely Empire-y empire.)

Hellioning posted:Garlemald is Rome? Like they even use Latin. This is also true! But...yeah, the Israel thing is loving absurd. Israel isn't even an empire, let alone a world-spanning military power - it's a particular state whose dominant political parties are relatively expansionist within its highly restricted sphere and mostly continues to be allowed to do because almost every other regional and national power currently considers them more useful than the subjugated occupied peoples within conquered territories. To say Garlemald is an Israel analogy is genuinely offensive even before we hit the parts where Garlemald's atrocities are grotesquely bad fits for Israel's atrocities or the part where Garlemald is in-universe the product of a secretive conspiracy of evil bodysnatcher wizard ghosts manipulating history to their own ends. Just, goddamn, that's offensive. Jetrauben fucked around with this message at 21:30 on Dec 22, 2021 |
