All it's really doing is calculating the best possible moves based on what you've uncovered, and you can do that in your head/on a piece of paper if you want to. It's not like it's adjusting the position of the numbers.

Semi-related, I am convinced that jumbo cactpot is bullshit. Even picking a different last number on all three tickets, I've never gotten more than a consolation prize since I started doing it.

We gazed into the eyes of madness... And all we found was horny.




I’ve kinda wondered: is it possible for a Retainer to come back with a unique item you already have in your inventory? I know it’d be a stupidly low chance because of how vast the loot pool is, but hey, I’m curious.

I don't think retainers come back with unique items. All the rare stuff is stackable (Minions, Retainer Coffers, Alpha Plushies, Boko Boko statues)

it has the 3 common filters but they leave a lot to be desired (especially in some raid scenarios where the visual language relies too much on color differences)

Yep. There's colour filtering options in the System - Accessibility Settings.

I can't comment on how well they work.

iirc we've got a goon who unsatisfied with the built-in options and was using gshade to make a custom filter suited for their own colorblindness along with some texture mods for things like aoe puddles to make them stand out better. made for some trippy screenshots :catdrugs:

also jackasses reporting streamers for mods is poo poo and really exposes how garbage s-e's policy on this stuff is

I was always surprised by people openly using mods on stream. If the token gesture out of all this is slapping down a few people doing that to make an example I guess everyone can be reasonably happy and call it a day

basically markers really need to be designed like the playstation ones in ultimate, with a different shape and a different color, instead of just being two glowing orbs of different colors, because there's only so much you can do if you actually cannot tell two markers apart.

i know some people had trouble with the fire/wind markers in p4s p2 act 2. they do apparently have a visual difference outside the color but if you can see the color its super easy.

That was partly why I always felt like streaming with mods was questionable, surely there would be someone out there who e hates you enough to report it with the best proof imaginable. I guess not ignoring those reports anymore is as good a mechanism as any

How would they even enforce it on twitch or youtube-like services? It's a huge number of anonymous viewers, and the rest are free email accounts. Not like you need to swipe your credit card to watch a stream.

I am pretty sure everything in FFXIV since StB that has a color identifier also has a shape identifier. Even if you're literally playing in black and white you can tell where to stand for e.g. the last boss of Vanaspati or Hells' Kier by looking at the shape.
