There’s also a second bug where it states there were no entries into a particular lotto when there was.

There’s a post on the JPN Loadstone rn stating they’re looking into everything ASAP. Hopefully they’ll have some English language explainations soon.

Ignore my posts!
I'm aggressively wrong about everything!
I admit I'm mostly laughing because I already have a house and so wasn't affected, but I do think this is a perfectly Ishgardian way to gently caress up housing. I don't think I could deliberately write a more fitting way for people to get screwed out of houses in Ishgard.

I give Crystalline Conflict a solid -15 out of 10. 0 out of 10 for having any form of stun. More points lost for potions being bad, both in picking up them up being wonky and being unable to deny them if you're full health. Job design like it was done by a certain Riot designer. Multiple times I have had my LB do literally zero damage right on top of someone after I waited for their guard to drop.

Edit: Also thanks to there being 1.234x1035 forms of crowd control in PvP, Purify shows why their base design of abilities is bad. Resilience might as well not even exist for how often I get hit with CC that still takes effect because of the delay between removing CC and gaining resilience.

I find it irritating because my enjoyment comes from mastering the mechanics of the fight, but I find myself spending a lot of time 'head down' making sure I'm about to hit the right button in my rotation instead of paying attention to the boss. It feels artificial--like you're trying to count in sequence while someone yells random numbers at you.

I'll probably spend time tomorrow trying to reorganize my UI and hotbars, along with hitting target dummies to see if I can't figure out something more intuitive.

Your rotation and doing it better and finding where to use buffs and greed for damage is half of the mechanics in every single fight in the game.

I was told to play healers because they're helpful, and I assumed that meant they'd heal.

Not only are you right and they're basically budget DPS with some incidental healing, but it is horribly awkward to try to use any heal that isn't WHM's Cure III.

They don't heal primarily. They CC and support skills.

It matches the PvE healing experience of doing DPS and occasionally reluctantly casting a heal if it isn't too much trouble

It's mostly about providing enough EHP for someone to get out their own Recuperate/Guard than it is about keeping them alive through sheer throughput. Cure II ain't much, but it can be the margin between life and death, which is the design they're aiming for.

CC really needs a more obvious way to tell which team is which mid-match. like the "Your Team" and "Enemy Team" titles really should just be Astra and Umbra.

I, as expected, remain houseless.

So when do the houses abandoned for Ishgard open up for purchase? I've found one but it says it's unavailable for purchase.

The next lottery could be interesting as I imagine some people with private houses will have moved from what are now FC-only wards, reducing the overall stock of personal housing. I know they've said purchase methods "may vary in the future" but I would assume it's going to be the bid-claim cycle for at least this entire patch.

Lost the lottery on a private large. I already own a large in Shirogane so it's not the end of the world, but I am a Saint of the Firmament so this was my ultimate goal and now it's dead, ah well.

Lost on a medium and I don't have a house. Already scouted some abandoned lots in Goblet and Shirogane for the next round, but I figure if I don't win that one I'll just chill until they add more plots.

On leviathan there were about 500 bids across the 36 larges this week. Looking forward to next week to see all those bids consolidated onto a couple.

Ended up doing the new Praetorium. Very different from the original and way shorter aswell. Like at least half (alongside two whole fights) of the cutscenes are removed, including the reunion with Maggie which surprised me because I thought they would keep that in.

AngusPodgorny posted:

From what I've heard, some final bids won, which seems likely as an ex-programmer because the mistake is more subtle. My pseudo-code guess is ...

what they should have done: integer(random(#entrants))+1
what they probably did: integer(random(#entrants+1))
how to get the final bid never winning: integer(random(#entrants))

That game developers dealing with random numbers constantly would make a basic mistake like that is baffling, and that they never caught something so replicable in testing is even more baffling.

1) naming things
2) cache invalidation
3) off-by-one errors

So, I feel like something in my brain is broken, I literally cannot puzzle out what macrocosmos says it does. What does "storing" damage mean, does it hit me then go into the stored damage bank, or is Macrocosmos a 50% damage reduction while its up?

The former. You take damage, that damage is measured, and then when you activate it is based off that damage.

Yeah, there's seven plots in my ward that opened up, but they were all individuals in a ward that's now a FC-only ward.

We'll see what happens on Tuesday I guess.

a friend mentioned this and now im sad it didnt happen, but they should have used the PvP rework to add BLU to pvp. enough of the nu-pvp kits are wacky enough that you could 100% figure out a way to make some of the more iconic BLU spells into a functioning small toolkit.

Each field has unique creeps that a BLU has to defeat to unlock an arena-specific special move.
