I'm pretty sure it's not a new issue, per se - I've heard others talk about the audio just dying mid-playthrough and requiring a full reboot for a long time, now - but it's possible that CC introduced a new vector for that problem to crop up in.

has anyone been having audio issues since the patch? twice in one day I've had my audio in FFXIV just completely cut out and require rebooting the game - no other audio is affected when this happens. it's only happened during CC, but also I'm spending most of my in-game time in CC right now so I don't know if that's related or just a coincidence.

Also happened to me in CC about an hour ago, but I had attributed it to a discord bug because I had opened the overlay at almost precisely the same time

So if the overtime drags on long enough (and both teams are at 50%?), the match will eventually just end in a draw.

War is probably the best class, having on-demand aoe stun, guard cancel on lb, and potential for life stealing and stalling is really good, won't be surprised if we see nerfs if square is doing tuning

Sam is strong because of the lb power though hard to tell if it's as strong in higher end play

Dragoon has splashy damage and is great for starting fights, plus jumping is fun

I've seen a good number of WHM and NIN too in silver/gold

WAR is insane. I did a match that ended with 10 kills, 0 deaths, and 15 assists for me. I probably drove the other team insane. WAR is great because you can life steal, also use the heal, and when your team is fully co-ordinated and you've been defending you can then step back, use your potion and then go right back into things.

The biggest thing I have to learn is to realize when someone is trying to bait me. I'm usually good about not running off, and only jumping away for a minute when I know I can get a kill, otherwise the best option is always to just plant yourself right at the Crystal when you're a Tank.

i think the scariest thing a warrior can do is mark someone with a countdown macro then dive them with their stun while their sam and drg do the same and immediately eliminate any backline of their choice

I got one of those last night as well.

Overtime details:
--If the team in the lead is pushing the crystal forward, they immediately win.
--If the team that's behind is pushing the crystal forward, the game continues until the push either passes the other team or is stopped.
--If both teams have the same score (I think this will only realistically happen at checkpoints) things keep going until someone either clears the checkpoint (win) or some amount of time elapses (draw).

I assume other overtime situations have a time limit as well, but I've never seen it or just assumed the defeat was because everyone stepped off the crystal for 3 seconds.

Just did the new alliance raid, bosses seem weirdly small for alliance raid bosses. Under 24 people's spell effects its basically impossible to see small details like which half of the arena is going to get walloped. Even if you know what to look for you probably won't see it unless you turn off all spell effects.

Soken and his team could so easily coast a bit and turn in a B-grade performance for a patch or two and I don't think anyone would really complain, but instead every single time they go SSS Platinum Perfect No Damage and absolutely crush it

I need to dip my toes into pvp for a bit since I want some of those rewards, but I know from experience my performance will probably be miserable and I hate to drag down a team. I've always hated most pvp modes just because the experience boils down into three sour points:

1. I am properly placed in my team's deathball. We are steamrolling stuff, I am hitting buttons. It's very unsatisfying, and I have no idea how much I'm contributing or how I could contribute more. Even though we are killing lots of the enemy team, we can still easily lose because the deathball might not be playing to objectives.
2. I can't find or get to or make a deathball and get summarily slaughtered by superior numbers. I am frustrated and learn nothing.
3. I died to something. I have no idea what it was or what I could have done to change this. I have to respawn before I can try to process the information and figure out how to play better next time.

I think I'm a pretty competent pve player, but something about how pvp is combined constant movement, appropriately playing defensively or offensively, and fighting the tab-target system overloads me still. To use a dark souls term, I still panic roll like crazy when I start taking damage. I know a lot of this I can overcome with experience but I really need a class I can play. Just a job that is hard to be a fuckup with, nothing exciting, something that lasts long enough that I can get that experience.

I'd say just play a ranged job or one with a bunch of aoe, so it's harder for you to mess up and you don't have to do the constantly moving thing that melee do. Admittedly you should still do the constantly moving that melee does but it's harder to mess up.

CC is pretty good. Almost hit Platinum but then the wheels fell off. Gonna take another crack at it tomorrow.

Main complaints are:

A) Warrior is *egregiously* busto. They have literally every single thing that matters in PvP. High damage, high survivability, AOE stuns, the ability to negate the single most important PvP unique mechanic (Guard). Kits are supposed to have gaps in them :v:

B) As I get closer to Platinum you can see the Jobs start to filter out. Scholar, Gunbreaker, Reaper, and Dancer are all incredibly fake Jobs as you play against people who know what's up. They need something.

BLMs are a ton of fun.

They have a couple of big mechanics.

Blizzard and Fire are now 'rotations' where they advance from 1-IV-Flare/Freeze. In addition to AoE damage using a specific element builds a stack of that element on the enemy. You have a charge-based skill called Superflare that is AoE and when you use it it will either add a big DoT (Fire) or Deep Freeze (Ice) with more stacks = more effect. Your teleport move also gives you a free swiftcast and Thunder is an AoE + Barrier so combat tends to revolve around doing attacks from a distance that then going in with a Thunder + Superflare and then blowing poo poo the gently caress up with huge AoE damage.

I mean it's still in beta, I wouldn't be surprised if all of the plates reset and THEN pictures like that become reportable. That being said, they probably should make sure they don't overdo it on reporting it. Like the guy putting the DPS icon over his waist is fine, and letting players be in sexy poses I think are fine, my catgirl is very leggy. Just draw the line at ones that are like the one above, or the one that looks like a catigirl giving a POV blowjob.
