I think a big problem is it's hard to even attempt to buy into it when he's called Curious Gorge. Imagine doing the DRK questline if Fran was called Clyford the big red Dog.

This, PLD was my first job and I was just rolling my eyes for most of the quests. The only good parts were the tournament, and your Newtype aura causing Aldis to poo poo a brick.

I got suspended in FFXI in 2005 for pos hacking so clearly the GMs had some power

I did, however, never get dinged for cheating my way into the endgame area which was locked behind a questline requiring you to be 70+ on a level 10 character

GMs had power for certain things and this is one of them, obviously.

yoship i don't care what else happens but if you could give me a separate callout on the HUD for raid buffs that would be solid thanks. You can do one of the goofy class bar things for it if you want.

I just have my UI buffs split and I took my debuff bar and resized it to 300%. It really helped me back in hello world and I would 900% recommend it.

Can the Sage limit break (Thunderdome) be moved? I just did a CC where I could've sworn it went up, then 5 seconds later shot ahead about 15 yalms.

Like, as far as WoW streamers go Pyromancer appears to actually be super into the story of the game, literally writing down notes as he goes and theorising.

Lots of them are. Preach, Bellular, Nobbel, Pyro. There's a huge bunch of story/lore wow nerds loving what they're finding.

Going for PUG reclears hasn't been painful but if you're having a bad day any PFer is only going to tolerate you for 2 pulls to 30 mins (Unless you get an almost enrage kill on P3S/P4S).

However if you're trying to get a clear friends definitely help. Clear parties are the loving worst.

I got insulted and berated on day 0 of doing p4 normal when people were still discovering the strategies. XIV isn't some paradise of kind players. there are still assholes waiting in the wings.

from what i've been told if you're progging savage this late in the tier you're dealing with a) other late comers like yourself who have no clue what's going on and b) people who have been working on it for ages not but have not progressed for reasons

so it's likely to be a bit more difficult than usual

guess i'll find out when/if i actually bother giving p3s a shot

and in general 1 and 2 can be cleared in an evening with callouts and 3-4 vets helping out (longer if you don't have that obviously), but 3 and 4 are just going to take long hours of practice by design

PF, at least on primal, generally follows the two mechanic rule: whatever mechanic the prog party claims its on, its actual skill level is two mechanics behind that

in my experience the general crowd is way nicer than any other online game i've played, even outside mmos. on the other hand there's always gonna be dumbass elitists who refuse to accept that they may not be god's gift to this world. in short, xiv is a land of contrasts, much like my ability to prog. i'm doing the tethers right, i swear.

Love how in a mechanic where 4 tethers and 4 non tethers need to work out how to soak intercardinal towers the solution is for the four people who want tethers to run around the boss like headless chickens instead of doing intercardinal partners and then having the people not soaking towers walk in towards the boss and back out at cardinals.

It’s like how Elmo is more likely to get people killed than most other methods of doing that fight, the operative word for PF brain dead mechanics is dead more often than not for me.

that sounds like a lot more effort than the strat that gives the players who want tethers the tethers from the start

heck, i got thru 1 and 2 in an evening each with less than that months ago (godbert and company did get me to p1s enrage to be entirely fair but i found that i don't do well with callouts because silent runs went muuuuuuuuuch smoother for me)

but yeah they're the entry point. ime i found the ex trails roughly equivalent in terms of time spent clearing them with pf randos
