Alert: bad post spotted.

Endorph posted:

its a bit of a pain but every character you have has their own individual folder in the ff14 folder on your computer. you can look through your folders for your main's by looking for the most recently modified folder, then going to the subfolder in there called 'log,' and looking for stuff you recently did on your main.combat logs and chat box chatter are stored there, so you should be able to deduce which folder is your main's - if you play more than one character semi-frequently, try doing some specific dungeon and then logging out and looking for the bosses from that dungeon in the log files. then simply copy paste all the .dat files in your main's folder to the new character's folder (discerning that through the same method), overwrite, and it should be completely duplicated.

if you're on ps4/ps5 you might be out of luck though

Guess i'll find out the hard way.
Also the World Transfer service is predictably making GBS threads itself. I selected home, destination and character, started the transfer, changed browser tabs, then tabbed back and was met with the "unavailable/undergoing maintenance" error message.

Hope this doesn't do anything to my character since I was mid-transfer.

Unfortunately, it means your character had a Star Trek-style teleporter malfunction and is now merged with someone else's character.

So I decided to spend a bit of time leveling a gathering class for treasure maps because I am kind of interested in riding the Excitetron 6000. I get that the way to level gatherers is through provision missions and leves. Any others that I am missing?

That's about it. Once you unlock Custom Deliveries, you can do them on your gatherers for white scrip that you can turn in for the EXP boosting manuals to speed through levels. You can easily hammer out 10 levels in an hour or two post-50 with those, the FC gathering EXP boost, and food.

up to enrage on p4s p1 and i gotta say i am not really a fan

idk it’s just weirdly obtuse in ways ffxiv raids normally aren’t. i like it when a fight introduces a mechanic and then makes you resolve it a different way later, but this fight just immediately tosses you into doing everything backwards and it’s so bizarre. everything is like two layers of backwards deep and my brain is folding in on itself every time i try to call what blood rake means lmao

We call out what the targeted people do, not what they don't do. Like, if the first bloodrake targets dps, we call out "dps out". If the second one targets tank/heals we call out "tanks and heals stack". Just like, removes one layer of backwardness, which we find helpful, at least

The thing I'm not fond of is that the hardest part of pinax is exactly 2 minutes into the fight, so your job is at its most complicated right when the fight is at its most complicated. And even if you delay it to align with pots, that just makes it collide with second pinax! It's very rude.

It took me a while to understand the internal logic behind the second set of bloodrakes/towers. The trick is that he rakes everyone, puts half of what he gets into the towers, and stores the other half for later.

If your second potions are coming up during second pinax then something's going terribly wrong because they always come up at the role call towers for me.

I finally cleared P3S today (with my requisite first clear death right at the end) and we did a few pulls of P4S. When I saw him drop the cloaks on the ground with a few seconds left before the next Technical Step I was like you motherfucker.

It sure seems like they made all the jobs' buffs line up in nice, neat 2-minute windows specifically so that they could then design fights where the complex mechanics also line up with those nice, neat 2-minute windows, probably while making the :twisted: face

I didn't mean that the potion would be back up during second pinax. I meant that if you delay your second burst by 30s, then it comes back up at 6:30 a few rounds later--smack dab in the middle of the third element of the second pinax. The exact mechanic you delayed earlier to avoid!

yeah you could just delay a second time. But enrage is at something like 7:15 so depending on your kill time you may be delaying all the way into not using it at all

losing the use only matters if you're parsebrained but the fact that you have to delay twice to avoid using your 2m skills during a low-uptime, brain-intensive period is very funny and annoying

trying to think about which direction he's going, water vs thunder, cape vs sword, trying to keep uptime while still making it in position in time, thinking about the timing for arm's length, all while doing the 9 oGCDs drg gets at multiples of 2m, four of which are jumps, is too much for my tiny brain

I don’t think there’s any need to worry about not having time to do your last 120s here for a while. If you pop them at the end of the last pinax there is enough time to use the full duration of them, which has been the case in all of my clears so far. If the damage is high enough to push this before then you would just pop them immediately anyway since there isn’t an alternative.

Here is my dream dragoon rework. Note that I am a madman so this is a fever dream, or perhaps a nightmare:

  • The GCD outline stays the same. Chaos thrust combo->two extenders->full thrust combo->two extenders
  • Randomized positionals from HW are back. Chaos thrust and full thrust will proc either wheeling thrust or fang and claw, randomly. You still do the other one after the random one.
  • Raiden Thrust is reverted to how it worked in shadowbringers: you only get it if you hit the second positional. The dumb wyrmwind mechanic is completely removed, but it still exists sort of; see below.
  • Geirskogul has like, a 120 second cooldown or something dumb like that. However, every single jump--high jump, spineshatter dive, dragonfire dive, and stardiver--resets the CD. Mirage dive is removed to make up for this. High jump now directly grants an eye.
  • When Geirskogul's CD is reset by Dragonfire Dive, it turns into something badass for the next use. Morn Afah, perhaps.
  • Nastrond now changes form each time you press it. The first time is nastrond, the second time is wyrmwind thrust, the third time is Ala Morn. This resets every life of the dragon, but it makes it feel good to get all three nastronds.
  • Life of the dragon, instead of giving you a red aura, now fully transforms you similar to reaper's thing. You look like Estinien from Final Steps of Faith. Alternatively, it could just give you the wings and make you float in the dragoon pose, I'm not attached to the idea of it changing your armor. This is the most vital part of my proposal
  • The tether keeps its 30y range but the tether is made visible again
