Onean posted:Just because it has numbers that go up, or any other progression system, doesn't mean it can't be a relaxing and chill experience. Stardew Valley has levels, strict time limits on what you can do during an in-game day, villager friendship, the community center/warehouse and more, yet it's still a standout in chill games. The difference is in genre and expectation. FFXIV is an MMO, where you're implicitly measured against your peers in whatever you do. Raids, MSQ, glamour, whatever. There's always someone you're implicitly being compared to. Stardew is a single player game in a genre that is culturally a "chill out" genre. There's plenty of sweaty gamer things you can do--speedrunning, optimizing, achievements--but they aren't the focus of the genre. Both takes miss the forest for the trees. RME posted:What do you think rowena does with all those knives She sells them to novice adventurers looking to be their own boss, and promises to give a cut of the proceeds from anyone they recruit into the scheme to them. They then go on to rack up tons of Tomestone debt and only sell a few of those knives to their parents and extended family. But at that point it's not Rowena's problem anymore. SettingSun posted:22 minutes is still a long time compared to a player party. I don't attempt to wall pull with trusts so that's probably a part of why my average is right about 25 minutes. I've found that wall-pulling in Trusts is a good way to practice my tanking skills, since it is basically a worst-case scenario heals/DPS combo. It forces you to play your CD rotations properly and utilize all of them. I've gotten better at GNB since I did NG+ using trusts exclusively. (And I was already a solid GNB.)

I don't see why you should feel the need to dye that headpiece. Healers and casters can now just be Darkman, how could dyes improve that?

Having the option to is better than not having the option to. And they should just have it dyeable and the reissue can be dyed a different way.

Has anyone done Rival Wings? How is the balance now? I do love how they decided to screw the RW release over by not giving it a roulette, while also putting the release between Island Sanctuary and the CC rank reset. They should have just waited like two more weeks. Poor RW

Dareon posted:Glamposting! Nice glam  The Virtu sets you can get from the PvP vendors use the same models as job gear, but the dye channels are different. You might like the way the actual level 60 scholar set takes dye more than the PvP set. I think the Virtu sets are all Heavensward job gear, except for the later expansion jobs, which use whatever their first set of job gear was instead. Cleretic posted:I don't see why you should feel the need to dye that headpiece. Healers and casters can now just be Darkman, how could dyes improve that? Yeah it's a good neutral color so I don't mind making an edgelord caster glam to go with it, I like it quite a bit

After like a year of not doing these, it's back. Hopefully it means I can finally stop digging my heels and finish up Stormblood's post-patches already. Spoiler warning for post-Stormblood, obviously.   So the Scions are currently trying to look for Gosetsu considering Hancock informs them of rumors of someone resembling him and Yotsuyu of all people around Kugane. While the question of why the two are together in the first place is an important one, there's bigger problems since Garlean forces are planning on hunting them down. So for now, they need to follow their trail and fast. With the help of the unreliable, untrustworthy Gyodo who is lucky enough to have some concrete info, they find out that Gosetsu sold his sword to a pawnbroker. When they see the blade, Yugiri clearly knows that it's Gosetsu's and it's clear that the rumor is definitely true. So Alphinaud buys the sword with the Scion's coins (that are thankfully not from the WoL's funds because we would live in Tataru tyranny otherwise) and it's clear that he has no clue how much it would cost and didn't bother haggling for a lower price. Anyway, after a breadcrumb trail, we discover that the two are heading to Doma.    Before they head to the Ruby Sea, Tataru ends up finding out what Alphinaud did and she's not happy, at all. Anyway, they finally encounter Gosetsu and Yotsuyu and unfortunately, it's during an attack from the Garleans. After fighting them off, Gosetsu explains how he managed to survive and why exactly he's with Yotsuyu in the first place. She basically lost her memories and Gosetsu has decided to deliver her to Hien to decide her fate because he himself isn't really willing to kill someone if they have no clue what they did, even if it happened. Meanwhile, Soroban has offered a plan that'll lead to some cash and Tataru is willing to join in after what Alphinaud did. We'll get to that later.     Hien is glad that Gosetsu is alive but less on Yotsuyu. He plans on keeping her in captivity until he decides what to do with her because of various circumstances. We find out about some of Yotsuyu's backstory and we do know that her dad is a dick just like her mother considering he essentially sold her off to be a prostitute. Anyway, Garleans appear and they're not looking for a fight. In fact, they're from a group in the Garlean Empire called the Populares and they wish to negotiate peace with Doma and this small group of the Populares is led by Asahi sas Brutus, Yotsuyu's stepbrother. Oh my...     The negotiation is simple. The former viceroy for the people that were forcibly conscripted in Doma. Hien does see it as a reasonable (in terms of political stuff) deal but he'll take some time to think because the risk of it being genuine or not. Anyway, Asahi seems to be a big fan of the Warrior of Light.    And he's willing to defend people from threats like the Red Kojin     Until Asahi drops the act and reveals himself to be not that different to the rest of his family but he's also the founder of the Zenos fanclub. You'll likely find a "I Heart Zenos" underneath that armor. Asahi gleefully rubs it in the Warrior of Lights' face that he hates you for what you did to Zenos and the fact that you can't do anything to him at the risk of the peace negotiations going sour. Considering what he's saying, it's clear that this negotiation is a part of Asahi's scheme and things are about to get worse...     Alot worse...           During and after all of that, the Warrior of Light joins up with Soroban and Tataru's get rick quick scheme and get caught in a situation where they need to get help from the Four Lords before a rampaging monster named Koryu is awakened. This leads to the usual dungeon romping, beating giant animal men up, old age, a bird lady with kickass music, a snake hydra-taur and a giant golden kirin and in the end, they got the money they wanted and it all came with the cost of having an old turtle man living in Soroban's head. And I'm finally done with that. All of this was from before Endwalker's release, so these were here for at least around a year or under and Qilin was a catboy back then.

Have any healers tried Containment Bay S1T7 (Unreal)? How does it feel in terms of incoming damage? Are there any veterans that can compare it to the Extreme on launch? Is it neutered by all the oGCD healing tools that exist today?

It's easier than it was on launch in HW, although it's hard to say if that's due to additional ogcds in healing kits/defensives powering through the damage or if the playerbase as a whole has gotten better. Also, gear might be a factor as Sephirot released on an even patch which meant there was still room to grow in terms of the intended ilvl for it as compared to an odd patch trial where people are going to be going into it at a higher and more likely equalized ilvl. Everyone's going to be equalized for Unreal so that takes gear variance out of the equation too. Being able to be rezzed after being knocked off is a huge change though. If you compare Sephirot to the current Extreme, Sephirot is much easier and it isn't even close.

Hyper Inferno posted:If you compare Sephirot to the current Extreme, Sephirot is much easier and it isn't even close. Thanks! That's shocking to hear because I still consider it to be the 2nd or 3rd hardest extreme they ever added. I assure you the playerbase has not gotten better since Heavensward, though the general combat job design has gotten significantly less punishing across the board so it's much easier to do your role sufficiently and not get distracted and miss important boss cues. The Earth Shaker proximity change and Force Against Might/Magic persisting through death are pretty major changes too, considering the fight was referred to as "long-rope jumping" by its designer. Messing up one mechanic was meant to punish the rest of your team to the point that a run would become unrecoverable, in contrast to how many extreme trials are designed nowadays where most errors simply punish the individual. I guess I'm saying I'd be surprised if the current extreme required any appreciable amount of GCD healing, but you're making me hopeful!

I just did the new trial on normal, that was insanely fun. Me being rock bottom ilvl for it meant the phase transition oneshot me as an AST from full HP + food buff, with no vuln stacks though, lol I haven't played AST in PvE in months and that one fight made me remember why I main it, it's fun as hell

gear is definitely a thing for sephirot, 3.2 was the first time that pre-raid crafted gear existed ever and HW crafting was designed to ultimately never give you an absolute guarantee that you could complete a craft, so it was sparse

I suspect it'll be really fun once I get a little more comfortable with it.

To be clear, I meant that Sephirot Unreal currently is much easier than current Extreme. If you compare Sephirot Extreme on launch to current Extreme, that's a much closer comparison although the difficulty is on a different axis IMO so it's hard to compare.
