Oh, poo poo. Even if it isn't 1v1, this is absolutely happening, isn't it? Maybe it's a sin eater Ardbert that somehow took the Light so we wouldn't die?

Your party all become lightwardens and you play as Ardbert's party to save yourself

What's that? The red team happened to have someone near the top rank on Primal? hmm must be a coincidence

edit: and again!



They pressed a few more buttons, must have realized they were being too obvious.... except only 23k self-healing means they managed to not pop recuperate more than once the whole match. Got a few queue pops that got instantly declined too as the thrower and throwee probably saw they didn't pop at the same moment.

e2: oh weird they remembered how to play when in a third match, not against their friend

You should report that, it's probably covered by the new PVP rules

Yeah I did, it's the first time I've seen it be that blatant. Honestly I'd be surprised if SE actually does anything, but who knows. From what I understand this kind of match-fixing behavior has been insanely common forever in the Feast, and I'm pretty sure it was always against the rules.

After getting the title, you can always re-buy the gear from the Calamity Salvager for like... 7,000 gil a set I think. So I just delete them.

e: oh I couldn't remember if it's the title or the individual gear purchase, but well, get the titles anyway

Once you buy an item from the Disreputable Priest (edit: woops, guess it's the title), you can buy each item from Calamity Salvagers for 2,000 Gil. Put the ones you want for glamor in your chest, and toss the rest.

I think you're right and it's based off the title. I'm double checking just to be sure, though.

Yeah, it's based off the title. It's 9,000 gil for a full set, since apparently I just looked at the cost for the chest or legs piece, and the others have different prices.

The real question is what would have happened if Thordan had won, since the Alexander summoning was already set in motion before Azys Lla. I can only assume two subsequent Calamities of Light would have given Emet an enormous headache.

Part of the issue is that we don't 100% know if Thordan killed Lahabrea in the Alternate Dragonsong War timeline and that would have been a huge contributing factor to if the Ascians would have opposed Thordan or not. We also don't know how much power the Ascians had intended for Thordan to gain, since teaching him the summoning techniques necessary obviously implies the Ascians wanted Thordan to ascend, but to what degree is unclear.

The other issue is that although we know the mechanisms by which Rejoinings work, there's a lot of small-ish details that are handwaved such as some minutia of the required timing or the exact "elemental balance" required or how that balance is even determined. But presumably, there's a huge number of scenarios that could have happend, ranging from relatively quaint such as Garlean Empire opposing Ishgard to kill that stupid primal, to full on "Thordan kills a bunch of Ascians so Fandaniel is free to relive the scenario of Endwalker, but with no WoL to stop the Final Days coming"

The minion and mount boxes from the grand companies have made leveling alt jobs in trusts feel so rewarding. A few trips in a EW dungeon and you easily have a box already!

Yup!

What’s the plug-in that gives you positioning tips on extremes and such? I dragged down an ex3 practice group tonight and someone said that the plug-in’s hints helped them (though they are also a better player so).

Cactbot is basically cheating but who gives a gently caress.

As long as people aren't calling out mechanics before they appear i don't care what my party members are doing to not cause wipes.

After playing a lot of PVP Samurai in crystal rank I think the job got over nerfed, it either needs to be given its survivability back or given a disengage. Your LB takes far too long to charge and goes from OP in lower ranks to completely useless in crystal. It's also nearly impossible to reliably apply your barrier from your conal AOE because it has cast time and you're almost guaranteed to get CC'd.

Sure, in exchange for the LB only instakilling the primary target. That's the primary reason why SAM got nerfed: their LB can wipe an entire team, and incidental cleave is rampant so you can't be sure that you won't hit them in a dogpile.

It's probably beyond the ability of the pvp system but the SAM LB should be able to force someone into an honorable 1 on 1 duel by making them unable to attack anyone but the SAM and the SAM unable to attack anyone else for the duration. If they run away they die

I mean it really isn't, there are already a bunch of skills that massively debuff/buff attacks against a specific character.
