Google Butt posted:So like I want to play this on PC using my xbone controller. Where do I even start? It's scary. Okay, the first thing you do, the *first*, is you go into Character Configuration - > Hotbar Settings - > Custom, then you enable both Expanded Hold Controls. One lets you access a second hotbar by double-tapping L2/R2, the other lets you hold L2 and R2 or R2 and L2 for another set of buttons. So that's more or less tripled your button real estate. I recommend using Legacy Controls but muck around with both and see what you prefer. I also suggest enabling auto target.

The mount description and flavor text will still indicate nobody recognizes who he is and everyone confuses him for famous skater Tony Hawk.

Since the bar in the 2nd phase builds up by gcd use and not anything else, I've also been able to solo it as a samurai and both monk and nin would also presumably work. Reaper could not solo it since it had no attack speed buff. I've solo'd it on DRG recently, so I imagine RPR could, too

S.J. posted:No poo poo? I might have to do that for the mount then. Hmm. The best thing to do is just get 3 buddies and pound it out real quick. With a full unsync party, you can do it in 2 minutes. So just do that for 2 hours and everyone gets their 50 scale mount - since scales are personal loot and there's no competition.

Why should the customer, who already pays the boxes and sub fees, care about the internal financing structure of SE? It doesn't make it less lovely if they divert all the profits from their very successful service game to other projects, then expect users to also buy overpriced ingame items to actually pay for said successful service game's further development. While I also buy mogatation items occasionally, I would never rationalize it as a good thing ~because the money goes back into the game~.  Zeruel posted:I just want the pizza emote

How does the individual dungeon loot awarded at the end of a dungeon work? I want a piece from a dungeon for glam, and if it can't roll dupes and always rolls your class it seems like it should be pretty fast.

And yes, it avoids dupes, so you should have the full set after 10 runs if you don't get anything from the treasure chests.

Bear in mind that only works for levelling dungeons. Level cap dungeons don't have automatic drops so you're at the mercy of the rng there

If I threw you into Sophia Extreme right now, no warning, I don't think you'd do very well no matter how good you actually are, because chances are slim to none your experience was recent enough to recall usefully. What I'd think would be the best angle, if keeping the Extremes in mentor roulette is indeed a requirement despite their unpopularity, is to have essentially separate 'Mentor' and 'Extreme Mentor' roulettes; give the Extreme Mentor roulette ten times the achievement progress or maybe their own separate rewards just to bait the hook, but somehow increase the penalties for leaving that one. Mentor Roulette keeps everything that aren't the Extremes so that it can keep being basically 'help sprouts understand basics' roulette (which is probably the more useful purpose of it all things considered), Extreme Mentor lets people who actually are prepared for 'Remember Thornmarch EX Four Years Removed Challenge' give that help.

'Remember How To Herd Seven Naive Cats Through Thornmarch EX Four Years Removed' is probably more accurate for that one, yes. It's not really the mechanics or process that are overly heady for that one, it's more getting everyone to do it. Shiva would've been a better example.

realtalk one of the best things about ffxiv is how the community treats new players with warmth and how the game's designed multiple mechanics to support it, and it frustrates me how some people feel like the effort to continue that is too much to ask of them when all they want are the mentor queue rewards. i think the first bad experience i had with the game was spending 30+ minutes queuing for some non-standard instance, having it pop, and getting told 'lol you all hosed up, try party finder next time' before they dropped group and everyone else left
