Just wondering: if I went through the effort of maxing out artifact armor in the first zone of Eureka, could I then buy dyeable replicas, or nah?

there's no achievement tied to finishing an anemos armor set, so you would need to hang on to them.

I've done plenty of Trust dungeons to level them up and farm various minions, and you can see the patterns in their movements. They are very much on rails, following programmed responses to various boss attacks. When something happens outside their programmed responses, they just stand and get hit.

Well now that I know DNC is the most fun you can have at 80+ I'm pushing MSQ again, cleared to the end of 5.2 tonight. 18 Vault runs and no card yet. lmao my man Urianger made a deal with the frog fae and learned a new spell to try to avoid swimming Very much enjoyed Undersea Smooth Jazz Dungeon, thanks. Procs procs procs procs procs cooldowns big AoE spinny spinny pretty. Yeah, I think DNC is the DPS for me. Also cool lore reveals all over the place. Sphinx Solo wasn't half bad either. Had a sensible chuckle at Elidibus infecting people with ambition to destabilize society. And a harder chuckle at the WoL having to owe up to their wandering helpful semi-murderhobo origins. But hey, Emet wasn't a one off and the Ascian Villain Of The Day is clever. Cool. Disrespectin' my soul buddy Ardbert tho. AUGH THIS FUCKER JUST SLOW CLAPPED US Y'shtola goes back for that stew, right? RIGHT? DONT DO THIS TO ME What will you say: selects Giott ten thousand times in a row  I really wasn't ready for Zenos and his Out Of Armor proportions.

Despite literally taking place in a seminary school, I was not expecting the Scholasticate questline to literally be a high school anime. Still, I appreciate the level of face rigging they have that let me immediately identify that the clumsy bookworm girl is sweet on the schlimazel.  Good news, inspector, I'm not wearing a subligar this time.

Although I understand why the system is in place (it discourages running splits for your static since it would be more effort than it's worth to run splits under the current system if you wanted to run full splits, although some people still run partial splits), I am kind of chafing at the loot limitation system, especially in the context of helping other statics in my FC. Currently if someone needs to fill a slot in their static, I either have to screw over my own static by giving them a single chest, or screw over the static that needs a replacement (depending on if they are scheduled to run before or after my own static). I can potentially create an alt to help others, but then I would need to clear with the alt as well every week, potentially in PF, to keep up with the gear.

It can be rough but getting a book and 1 or no chest is better than no loot and no books.

I still haven't gotten any chests from savage  I also had to turn off BGM for progging P7S, it felt like the song was reprogramming my brain somehow. Do I recall that you can hotbar a toggle for that? the song still plays in my brain, mind you. It's just not getting blasted out by the tv anymore

Should just be /bgm to toggle. Same with /mountbgm and similar. Specifying a number between 0-100 after sets it to that volume level, so /bgm 20 sets it to 20%, etc. There's also /master volume as well.

DR definitely needs a revamp to increase clear rate. Something like Baldesion Arsenal is one thing when it's a capstone dungeon that's largely optional rewards, but locking story progression behind DR feels bad when barely anyone does it and you therefore have to go through considerable effort to get a reasonable group together for it.

I've found that if I queue solo for ADR on a level 90 job I rarely get CT, almost always a 70-90 raid. But if I queue with even a couple other people in a party, even if we're all high level (and no one is stripping gear, or so they claim), it's always CT

Vitamean posted:can't wipe the party by blowing up too many large tanks or dropping aoes on the shield generator so I consider it less chaotic This. A major difference in normal encounter design since StB onward is that they almost never allow a party to wipe because of players failure to do something anymore. In the very first Trial of the game, you can wipe if you completely miss the Infernal Nail cue. Contrast to all modern trials in which the 'dps check' phase allows you only the relevant targets. In many of the Alexander normal raids, if at least one player doesn't figure out or know to do something specific during the fight, it can very easily lead to a wipe. (e.g. a1: shrinking missiles, a2/5: moving bombs, a4: Nisis spreading/colliding, a6: not freezing the cyclone, a7: the pure heart/certain cages, a9: smelting the robots, a10: traps, a11: EDD, a12: timegates; though many can be ignored with no issue thanks to ilvl and potency increases) Since StB, normal and alliance raids are instead almost entirely filled with mechanics that each player deals with individually, usually only penalizing the players that fail. There's generally more to dodge overall, and things have more visual tricks going on (compare a8n with o8n; they're both flashy but only one of them lies to you), but fights that at least one person in the group hasto know what to do to succeed are uncommon. The times where you really can unintentionally significantly hurt the raid as an individual are even a bit notorious nowadays: 3rd boss of Orbonne (more so pre-nerf); 2nd boss of Puppet's Bunker. I think they've become less comfortable with letting groups fail, figuring out why and trying again. Mordiceius posted:YOSHI P WANTS BLUE MAGE BATTLE ROYALE! Where'd you see that interview?! I pitched that idea on the Official Forums. And here and there... Seemed like a logical step given that they already put in their version of a MOBA pvp mode with Rival Wings.

The biggest issue to solve with a blu pvp thing would be the UI. The lost actions are only functional because you have at most two (and regularly one or both of those are long duration buffs) and the rest of your hotbars are unchanged. In a battle royale where you're getting many new abilities, cycling through old ones, and need your hot bars to actually be useful, it'd be a much harder problem to solve. I'm not sure FFXIV could even support everyone having 1 or 2 completely new hot bars which change frequently, I feel like adding that would spontaneously delete the Currencies tab from the game or something.

Every PVP job is currently 8-10 buttons at most including the universal five, give Blu like 8 categories of potential spells and use the Hotkey rewrite set-up most pvp classes use. 1 - Auto Attack. Start with Water Cannon or some other cooler auto. Can find better ones. 2 - Close Range AoE. Start with Gazer or something, on a CD. 3 - Dash Move. Start with Flying Frenzy by default. 4 - Weird Status Debuff. It's BLU so... put it on a long CD but have it combo with the other starter moves. 5 - Limit Break. 25000 Needles or something by Default! 6 - Sweet Damage Steroid ala Primal Spells. These slots start empty. 7 - Sweet Utility Spell like Diamond Back or the Teleport spell. Starts empty. 8 - Sweet Healing Spell. Another stronger slot that starts empty. 9 - Aetheric Mimicry Slot. Starts empty, you can get a watered down version of another classes iconic move and swapping on the fly lets you do higher skill ceiling stuff ala GNB. Works on friends and enemies so when the match starts you give yourself a spell you want, if you're fighting somebody and taking their AM move would give you an edge or a wombo you can do that. But you get the idea, Blu has a general template of autos that eventually becomes autos with a little twist(applies debuffs, or casts really fast, or is a bit stronger and ranged, or combos if you hit stunned), a few too many redundant aoes that are for hitting elemental damage types in the arena, cool damage spikes from Primal boss kills, etc. So every slot has 3-5+ possible spells in it(you might need 2 slots for Sweet Primal Damage Steroids) and if you use enough BLU moves you could even have different starter load outs so there's no guarantee a BLU at the start of the match functions a certain way. Water Cannon that applies Dowsy DoT + AoE Cold Northerlies that does more against Dowsed + Flying Frenzy to gap close + Weird Petrify Move(stuns for 1 second, then slows) vs Reflux to apply Snare + AoE Horse Laser that does more against Snared + Tongue Lash to gap close + Ink Jet(makes half their moves miss for 4 seconds, so 2 moves) vs Blood Drain(reduced damage, heals) + Sharpened Knife(melee only oGCD damage spike) + Snort to Knockback + Bad Breath(everything but only for like 5 seconds, long CD) It's a lot of work though since the PvE Blu spells are kinda redundant and some are painfully niche "use me to break a dungeon/BLU carnivale fight."

A BLU Battle Royale sounds like a great idea for PvP, on par with Rival Wings. Which means that like Rival Wings, it wouldn't be played because it would have completely insufficient rewards compared to Frontlines.

I got into an actual no deaths but cleared P5S at the exact moment of enrage party. In the sixth week. And I've still only received one chest total this entire tier so far. Not even bothering to move on to P6S tonight, the pug life is too tiresome.
