Mister Olympus posted:its rough edge is that the theme of this raid tier is "mechanics where the tank has to stand in front to take a tether and/or other people have to park at max melee" which, as the newly minted Only Melee Where Gap Closers Are Part Of The Rotation, sucks bad I'm missing something here, I don't get how those affect gap closers. Can you be more explicit?

There's a number of mechanics where the tanks need to be closer to the boss than the party is. If you use spineshatter dive, dragonfire dive, or stardiver, it puts you directly adjacent to the boss, and if the tanks are positioned dumbly, you will be closer to the boss than them

Can you be more explicit? dragoon, rotationally, occasionally jumps to the very edge of the target's hitbox. for someone to pick up a tether, you have to be between the current tethered and the boss. if a tank is doing this at any point outside of the hitbox, they are liable to have that position stolen by a dragoon doing their normal business. before the patch changes, ninja was the other melee that had an ability that did damage AND moved them, but now dragoon is alone.

So what's the optimum PLD rotation at 90? Trying to figure out how to make the most of Blade of Valor's DoT since it doesn't stack with Goring's.

Yeah this is why as a PLD I just park my rear end inside the hitbox to pick up tethers.

I believe it's FoF -> goring combo -> royal authority combo -> atonement x 3 -> goring combo -> recquiescat -> holy spirit x 4 -> confiteor combo -> royal authority combo -> atonement x 3 -> FoF -> repeat I think that works out right, might skip the atonements after the second RA combo, depending on how things time out (allowing for interruptions and whatnot).

Shame that the new NA servers won't be here until August, but DC visit should go some way towards alleviating congestion if it's accessible from the character screen.

I'm actually astonished that data center visit will give you full access to the market boards, duty finder, and party finder. They talked about limitations and I assumed it'd be really barebones. But the only limit is just on chatting

I figured that duty/party finder was guaranteed because what was the point of being able to visit data centers to do FATEs and hang out in Limsa, but the market board access is a shock.

I'm guessing they have enough data on hand to show that the economies between DCs are, when averaged across servers, similar enough that it won't suddenly cause the local economy on one DC to crater.

As an aside, this is a pretty massive vote of confidence in the ongoing future of the game from corporate. They obviously needed to expand even before the big surge, but planning to spin up 20 servers over the next year and change is a tremendous long term investment.

I imagine the combination of "our game is suddenly even more popular" along with "and that means we cannot sell it anymore and are giving away free game time" really helped motivate them to open the wallet. They're leaving money on the table every day that they delay getting the new servers up, essentially.

Will there be some sort of OCE goon FC? I’m a threadlurker but I’m thinking of transferring because I’ve spent years at poor connection 200ms+ ping with empty PF at 7pm my time, but it’d mean ditching my entire social network bar one other Aussie and I kinda want a place to land.

THE AWESOME GHOST posted:Which job ? I’m not using my later coffers so might as well Someone suggested that NIN gear would have a premium because they don't share, and a cursory glance at market prices seemed to bear that out. There would also be random-seeming spikes in accessories (like a necklace would be quadruple the price of earrings at the same tier, and vice-versa for the next)? Maybe they're GC turnins or something

Since accessory boxes come from sidequests instead of msq, a lot of people probably missed some of them so there's less supply and more demand.

We do currently have a goon FC on Kujata and people are considering moving, but considering that a few of us are SEA players (I'm one of them) and also differences in scheduling, general server culture etc we're not doing a full FC move. A goon might open up one on OCE servers though.

I don't know the full 81-90 GC turn-in list (it's random from a pool but the pool isn't "everything that can be crafted", it's more like 3 things per level), but if you're aiming to sell specific coffer items for levequests at least (for Endwalker leves): CRP: Palm Bracelets of Aiming, Palm Ear Cuffs of Fending, Ironwood Spear, Integral Magitek Rod BSM: High Durium Tathlums, High Durium Bayonet, High Durium Knives, Bismuth War Scythe, Chondrite Magitek Axe ARM: High Durium Armguards of Maiming, High Durium Armor of Fending, High Durium Gauntlets of Fending, Manganese Helm of the Falling Dragon, Chondrite Top of Maiming, Chondrite Gloves of Casting GSM: Ametrine Ring of Fending, Pewter Choker of Slaying, Pewter Pendulums, Phrygian Ear Cuffs of Healing, Manganese Rapier, Star Quartz Wristband of Aiming, Chondrite Magitek Planisphere LTW: Luncheon Toadskin Jacket of Scouting, Luncheon Toadskin Boots of Striking, Saigaskin Coat of Fending, Kumbhiraskin Gloves of the Black Griffin, Ophiotauroskin Boots of Healing WVR: Fingerless Darkhempen Gloves of Healing, Almasty Serge Coat of Healing, Almasty Serge Hat of Casting, Scarlet Moko Gaskins of the Rising Dragon, AR-Caean Velvet Bottoms of Scouting, AR-Caean Velvet Cap of Maiming ALC: Gaja Grimoire, Luncheon Toadskin Codex, Saigaskin Codex, Kumbhiraskin Grimoire, Ophiotauroskin Magitek Codex Can't guarantee those will have the best prices or anything but they've at least got potential churn demand beyond people wanting to gear up.

If you're a DPS do one of the ones that drains. I apparently was missing being pretty much self reliant from getting a portion of my damage done back as healing.

Vermain posted:I'm guessing they have enough data on hand to show that the economies between DCs are, when averaged across servers, similar enough that it won't suddenly cause the local economy on one DC to crater. They actually call out differing economies as why they aren't allowing DC travel across regions. They have the capability to do so, so if there's enough player demand and it won't be too detrimental, they can turn it on.

I usually try and dump my gapclosers during FoF, but if I'm still learning the fight/need one for a mechanic right after I leave one in the bank. I also usually don't Req early because it fucks up my muscle memory real bad if I do.

Yeah, I'll do the late FoF to make the window for the second goring easier, but if I don't do the holy spirits right after recquiescat it just throws me totally off. I have those buttons right next to each other for a reason!

I also usually don't Req early because it fucks up my muscle memory real bad if I do. I tend to keep the closer at 1 at all times, even if I don't actually need to for that fight. Much easier than keeping track of which fights need them, especially since there's some I haven't done since they came out.

Yeah, the fact that Region transfer is a question instead of a gaurantee is really disappointing, because either I take the free transfer and maybe don't get to do anything with my friends when they decide against it, or wait to know region transfer will be allowed but in doing so lose the free transfer.

In a little over a week, YoshiP and some other devs will be playing some Mahjong. Also, something from the server announcements I haven't seen mentioned is that they've got more news coming out regarding future patches at the end of February, and to look forward to the next PLL. So there's the timeframe for that, if anyone's been wondering.

A blogpost announcing the OCE servers and the bonuses including 1mil gil for leveling 1-30, and double exp to 80. https://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/lode...N6DCKbJWQutImVM Anyone have any idea if the "double exp to 80" is only applicable if you don't have a max level job? I really want to bash out as many jobs to 80 as I can.
