Who needs a house out in Hackensack? Is that all you get for your money?

it's face paint that we see on the poster according to the garland tools website

Garland Tools datamined the item a little while ago. I happened to stumble across it looking for something else and it has examples of what it looks like on all the races (it looks pretty good on Hroth, imo). It's only the second "Modern Cosmetics" item in the game. The first gave bats and spiderweb face paints and it's arguably among the rarest items since they've never sold it on the shop, to my knowledge on the shop apparently, I just never looked hard enough I suppose.

Anyway, whoop whoop ninjas, and all of that.

I don't think those sorts of moments are inherently bad but they're definitely the leading cause of burnout or bad blood in my experience in statics.

It'll probably be less bad with gear, at least in parts like the add phase where you can recover from one death if your party is on point with damage. Having repeated failures to NUMBERS or some poo poo where one person blinking kills everybody gets people salty really fast though.

progging through p3s and honestly this arena is pretty unforgivable. orange on orange on orange on orange. gross.

probably won't beat this week as we got walled by adds last night. just kinda kept running into conflicting ideas on why the adds kept enraging. should have a plan going forward, at least.

The only time I have ever considered lowering the size of my static's SMN's egis is in P2S while the water is up. There's just so little space available, and then he summons Titan...

It gets so orange that some secondary mechanics are colored red/black so it's actually possible to see them!

E: healers please press your AoE shield buttons while doing fountains. The results are both hilariously strong and probably the only way to keep the DPS from accidentally murdering each other.

I made my egis small because they're funnier that way. If I could turn their final forms back into multi-colored carbuncles, I would. But since I've been raiding weekly much more than I used to I've finally turned off all other player effects.

Okay, but did you do that with an illegal third party mod that replaces all effects in the game with Vermillion Scourge?

Use a suspicious third party tool to replace all the egi and summon models with Ruby Weapon. Or to be thematic, another Eric.

They're gonna add another job that uses the Scouting armorset in 7.0 and it's gonna be a ranged DPS that uses Blitzballs.

I've been saying for years right before the game goes into maintenance mode they should add one final Mime job for getting every job to cap that lets you mix and match skills in stupid and broken ways.

if you had access to every button in the game, would the optimal rotation just be to maintain all the +10% buffs you get from various classes, cycling through them as their 30s timers expire

I think PF might have soured my experience, because the groups in Chaos DC were a very mixed bag.

my experience with primal p2s clear parties so far have been a combination of D and one of A,B,C

a) wipe to overflow 1
b) tank runs into poop square with tether
c) wipe to avarice 1
d) not even close to enough damage even without mistakes

Hitting them all at once and snapshotting dots inside that mega burst window would be better, which is basically how it shook out in bozja with the flare star cheese.

I don't care if you're a star, the moon, or the whole damn sky, you need to come back down to earth and remember where you came from

I hope at some point in the game they introduce summon glamours. Being able to unlock summons for your three jewels and then mix and match them for summoner sets would be so satisfying and honestly i'd be excited to pair up with a summoner just to see what they use to block my field of view.

well, there's all the ogcd buff buttons of course but I was referring to things like storm's path and disembowel, stacking on top of the ogcds

might be too many gcds to be worth it though

Mimic knows what's up, and what they actually copy is the effects of Lost actions and essences (useable outside of Bozja).

Otherwise, just let me Riddle of Fire + Inner Release before a sam burst phase.

It's already there, just the options are the jeweled summons, egis or the carbuncles. (I run with the carbuncles, for example.) S-E could add more to the system, now that they've done the rework they kept putting off the updates they've talked about doing.

I don't know if I would say that it's already there. You can mix and match the egis, sure, but I was hoping for something more in line with swapping Titan for Bismarck or other weird poo poo like that.
