I remember doing so many stuns and silences in old ARR Haukke that the LB bar would be full by the first boss, because interrupts give a bonus to the gauge.

EW spoilers: The EW Role Quest's big final duty does rely on Interject a few times, which I didn't get at first since I had never used it since the early levels where it never had any effect.

I think this is the biggest problem: Interruptible abilities are the exception, not the rule, so you get used to ignoring the fact you even have it.

Yeah, that was some wild stuff. I basically had to remind myself the mechanic existed. Even after a year+ in-game, I only started consistently recognizing interruptible bars after I started Blue Mage and got into Masked Carnivale fights. There are lots of mobs in there with nasty slow casts, and it pays to become the Master of the Flying Sardine.

I feel like a lot of early game problems would be smoother if the Active Help Tutorial or whatever it is didn't come up while you're in the middle of a dungeon, which as we all know is the best time to stop running and read several paragraphs of information. Generally I'll close it immediately, catch up to the party members who have already ran halfway to the next boss, and then forget to check what it actually said.

The Monarch posted:Thanks for the PF advice. And yea I definitely got a bad feeling seeing the ones listed like "learning party using 2f 3i 2-2 KNOW THE STEP DANCE!!!" usually the learning parties with alphabet soup in them have later prog points. when it comes to learning savage raid fights, it's generally bit of a faux pas to join a pf that's progging a late-fight mechanic or is advertised as enrage-to-clear if you're fresh to a fight and haven't at least seen the latest mechanic the pf is ostensibly learning. it's when a pf is advertised as learning mechanic x but after half an hour in the instance you haven't even seen it once that some people get a bit salty.

Xerophyte posted:Related to enemy cast bars, possibly the most important of the assorted semi-hidden HUD layout choices is making it very large like this (image stolen from some random reddit post. Coincidentally, it is an example of the bar for an interruptible cast): And a little example of the game providing an anti-tutorial, since the elemental sprites in the overworld have the most common interruptable abilities new players will see, except they cast so fast you'd need the reflexes of an olympic fencer to actually interrupt them

I think that was it, interject rarely worked for me because I'd usually cast it just a smidge too late.

I did it, I got everything up to 90 (for combat jobs). Time to never log in again apart from raids and playing The Sims: Final Fantasy version with my house.

I'm not overly interested in DoH/L, and I've already have BLU to 70 and got every single spell for it.

you should work on the noncombat jobs anyway, they have nice storylines and some of the better daily tribe hubs + if you can deal with the tediousness of completing the entire blu spellbook then working on gathering/crafting logs should be easy

Am at the tail end of Shb AV has a pretty good black set. The glovws and boots have little triangle spikes, but the legs and chest are simple leather. Any DoW can use it Robo Reagan fucked around with this message at 21:44 on Jul 26, 2022 |

The best bet is just look at the marketboard and see what the crafted stuff looks like. It's all there to look at and you can buy most of it from npc vendors. There's definitely sets that look far lighter than plate at least.

There's the replica sky pirate stuff, that looks pretty thin. The Fending chest is just a coat

There's a cloth set with a lion's head in HW zones for tanks. It has a visor where it either shows your face or the lion face.

Something like light armor, a simple chest plate, bracers, regular boots/pants with maybe knee guards

The stuff from Bozja is fairly nice; not too fancy but not boring either. You do need to finish Shadowbringers to reach that activity, though.

Even the low-level light armor has more greebles and furbelows than I would generally expect from basic videogame armor. Don't ignore crafting/gathering gear if you're looking for simple glams, though. Some of the smithing gloves are just nice, simple forearm-length leather gloves.

Xerophyte posted:One nice thing 14 does compared to WoW is that if you interrupt an interruptible cast then the mob will usually stand there doing nothing until what would have been the end of the cast. There's no incentive to play latency chicken with the cast bar for ~efficiency~, you can just press head graze when you see a blinking cast bar.

Doman Steel Tabard of Fending I like "street-level" looking gear a lot, especially since as a big RP nerd my amateur moron shouldn't be rocking FF protag armor and gear that glows and all, at least not yet.  And since I looked into my screenies folder for that, more glam shots: Eastern Musketeer!   Alternate Reality Garlean!  That point where you enjoy playing a class in pvp and leveling rous but it's level 50 and your glam options are limited!

Back when ARR came out and the relic reborn Chimera trial was cutting edge content I had groups wipe there to ram's/dragon's voice unless a bard was silencing them. We were bad then.

LunarCon is just a few days away, starting this Friday, so if you're interested in visiting on your character and need to DC Travel (it's largely on Crystal's Brynhildr server, with a club on Malboro), you might want to do so in the next day or two. With as many people that showed up for last year's, I imagine DC Travel will be slammed Friday morning. If you can't or don't want to visit in-character/person, almost everything will be streamed so you can watch those instead. They updated the website recently with a schedule for events and panels, which includes links to the stream channels at the top. https://twitter.com/LunarConXIV/status/1551697078308315136?t=UIn_pv85HT4_fZs29okBHg Onean fucked around with this message at 02:31 on Jul 27, 2022 |

One Jesse Cox will be making an appearance at this as well  https://twitter.com/LunarConXIV/status/1552051137381031936 I remember when Jesse was so against playing the game and now he's probably one of the biggest fans of the game. To the point where he's getting a statue made for his WoL: https://twitter.com/MediaRhoades/status/1550311876055138304 (I have also contacted this guy and plan on getting one for mine as well)
