Mathbot is kind of really breezy even at minimum ilvl if everybody gets the buffs for correct numbers and doesn't get obliterated by the spin. I can probably count on one hand the number of times that's happened for my runs since launch.

Getting the numbers wrong should kill you, it'd be a lot funnier. Unfortunately that whole raid is stained by the last boss, it's always a huge slog

mathbot should be more math and less other things Like, I hate when a boss has a fun gimmick or mechanic I want to learn, but then it comes up like twice in the fight and then it just repeats some other annoying mechanic over and over until the end.

Mathbot is like the one Ivalice raid boss I can actually handle, so I am obliged to defend his honor And yeah, he's nothing compared to Sir Ten Trillion HP at the end of that raid anyway. That would be a great boss fight if the dude just had... like, two-thirds of his HP?

Thundarr posted:Somehow every npc that uses Plus can galaxy brain their way into a final play Plus cascade to come from behind and win and I'm a little salty that I've never been able to gain that power for myself! All NPC’s generally react a very specific way to how you throw down your cards. If you play them a bunch you’ll eventually start to see patterns where you can win a majority of the time by forcing them into bad plays or being able to setup your own plus cascade win.

Chillgamesh posted:Mathbot is great, Spinbot on the other hand can gently caress off I still think they should make a Mathbot G.A.T.E. at the saucer but give it some different functions on top of the usual mechanics. Like stepping on the number pads gives you a permanent amount of HP and you have to reach a certain total within the time limit without going over or something.

Around the time endwalker came out they released an xivplugin for triple triad that suggests moves, it is extremely better at seeing plus/same combos than at least I am. Fear not, it is disabled in the hallowed realm of triple triad pvp

I finally remembered to ask this, what happened with treasure maps since Endwalker? Gliderskin maps are like 45k, but the level 90 ones are like 14k. Why are the Shadowbringers solo maps so expensive now?

Why are the Shadowbringers solo maps so expensive now? There is more demand for the older stuff while the newer stuff has been fairly mined dry but this point since there's a smaller loot pool. They'll pick up once the next set of items is added.

I wish the tunic on the cape of happiness didn’t dye. It ends up looking kinda dingy with most dyes.

Kazy posted:Quick! You have a buff of a certain color, stand in the correct order to match a resistor of the correct value! Nobody actually uses through hole anymore, most resistors are 0201 that are almost impossible to manipulate by hand, bigger packages are only if you need a higher power rating, or want to simplify your BOM and have space available, anything smaller than 0603 doesn't have codes printed anyways. Gameplay analog would be having content that's only doable in a reasonable manner with tool assistance, so house decorating (savage) I guess.

Every once in a while when in a group fighting I'll hear an odd sound, https://onlinesequencer.net/2695104 that doesn't feel common/regular enough to be someone's ability, and oddly pierces through all the other sound effects/music. Anyone happen to recognize it?

Anyone happen to recognize it? Hard to tell, but is it the "resource ability available" sound? It plays on jobs like WAR and MCH when your job resource bar hits 50 and you can use the associated action. It's a rising swoosh-type sound that can be hard to associate with an action since it plays a while after whatever random GCD made the meter half full, but it's a quick glide and not 3 held, distinct notes.
