I like how FFXIV pvp scratches that moba itch without the feedback loop of the winning team getting stronger so they can keep winning and keep getting further ahead. It means your team can identify a threat on the other team and start prioritizing them, or realize they need to wait for backup before going back in, and you can pull off some nice rallies, and come from behind or at least draw matches that you were losing.

kung fu jive posted:Honestly I would love for the next FF MMO to have smaller kits with less overall buttons to press in PvE but much faster paced (akin to Guild Wars 2). I will dream about 2030 when Yoshi finishes the 9th and final expansion for XIV and moves on to the next one. Yeah the XIV kits are too bloated for me but GW2 also feels a tad too anemic. I'd say 18-24 abilities, all in, would be my optimal number. Would be pretty cool to see a standalone release along the lines of CC/wow arena or whatever with snappier gameplay. I can't think of much that fits in that genre space outside of like, Smite maybe.

A Moose posted:Pretty light on the debuffs. As far as I can tell, the only one you have is if you cast Gravity, and then copy it with double cast, which puts a 75% Heavy on the main target and any others in a 5y radius, so you won't be locking anyone down, though it is good if you either get someone separated, or hit multiple targets before they engage on you, to give your team time to engage on your terms. You don't have to double cast it to get the heavy, that's on the normal gravity cast. The double cast effect is a bind.

GW2 pacing of combat is great, but there is a lack of buttons unless you are talking about off cases like Elementalist. The only downside to a standalone release like that is it would consume so much of my time that I would fall behind on the PvE side.

I salute the brave souls daring enough to play BRD in this Aglaia I just ran. Shame three of you got sorted into the same party, but oh well. You're all much braver than I, the person who correctly guessed this would happen and switched to NIN for that run instead.

W.T. Fits posted:I don't play Ranked. I stick to Casual because I don't want to drag down people who are making an earnest effort to be competitive. As long as you're actively trying to win and have some experience with the class you're using, play ranked IMO. I'm still in Bronze and my experience got exponentially better when I started playing ranked, just because (almost) everybody I matched up with was also trying to win. No AFKers in the corner, less people just mindlessly zerging forward in to death because a fast loss is more efficient points/time than a grindy overtime win, etc. Even if you completely suck at it, you'll just sit at the bottom of bronze, and you'll probably have a better time there because genuinely good players will advance up to the ranks where you'll never see them again.

yeah, I think especially right now it's a good time to just queue into ranked and take what you get. you don't need to be a crystal tryhard or anything but you'll eventually average out to people around your skill level and probably have a better time for it. I can empathize with not wanting to drag other people down but as someone who's been through the wringer multiple times on my way to diamond (and hopefully crystal) yeah those losses were annoying in sequence but also I don't remember a single person's name from those matches.

I remembered one person's name for a couple days. Because all they spammed was "Push the Crystal!" even when it was 2v5, and we were the 2. Then after about a minute they just AFK'd in spawn. It's not coming to mind now so maybe I've forgotten, or maybe I'll remember if I see them again, not sure. Either way I have to take a break from CC, because about 20ish losses in a row over almost 3 days has turned any enjoyment of the mode into a practice in frustration for me.

There are portrait borders for each tier and portrait borders for the top 100 on the data center, all with some bonus trophy crystals. For good or for ill, if you don't like climbing it really really doesn't matter at all

IcePhoenix posted:borders for your portraits you do not, fwiw. I think you have to wait until the end of the ranked season for them to mail a token that, when used, unlocks a hidden achievement that has rewards attached to it. at least that's how it worked for feast and firmament ranking.

You also get extra Trophy Crystals.IcePhoenix posted:you might actually just unlock them immediately on earning a rank too Nah, you have to wait until the season ends. You can see them in-game under the (Rank) Conflict options for frame, background and sticker. If you want to see them all in one place, here's official rewards page that also includes the breakdown for how many Crystals you get.

you have to win three matches to move from unranked to bronze, but you don't lose progress from losing a match until you've broken into bronze.

most unassignable SMN abilities replace one of your normal buttons, the exceptions are Wyrmwave: Demi-Bahamut's auto-attack Akh Morn: used by Demi-Bahamut when you press Enkindle Bahamut Everlasting Flight: used by Demi-Phoenix after being summoned Scarlet Flame: Demi-Phoenix's auto-attack Revelation: used by Demi-Phoenix when you press Enkindle Phoenix Deathflare replaces Astral Flow when you use Dreadwyrm Trance/Summon Bahamut.

Those are what Bahamut/Phoenix cast when they get summoned. There is no button for it that you could press. e: ^^^ is right, replaces one of your buttons. Megaflare is what Bahamut does when summoned (but only in PVP) Tamba fucked around with this message at 23:56 on Apr 19, 2022 |
