I hope autocombos comes back up next, that's the thread recurring argument I have strong opinions about.

Zeruel posted:it seems we've found a nice rich vein in the likes of hydaelyn posting Because it’s the same vein ultimately. Hydaelyn agrees with the sentiment that if people are simply given everything, they won’t push against their circumstances until something catastrophic happens and they’re helpless and wind up in an even worse situation. It’s the same idea because Stormblood is about laying the thematic and philosophical groundwork for Endwalker in the same way that Shadowbringers lays the metaphysics out. You can see this in the Azim Steppe too with grandma prophecies and the dotharl idea of reincarnation. Mister Olympus fucked around with this message at 04:47 on Nov 23, 2022 |

My Comfortable AST Glam for a while was That Dress, the welkin hat, and Zidane's jeans. I dyed the dress black. I'm pretty sure if I appeared on the streets of Santa Fe I would not have stood out.

The Syndicate is a cyberpunk dystopian government slapped into a high fantasy setting, they're obviously terrible and don't count. The underwater dragon people are Miniature Imperial China and we're going to have a hard time burning down an underwater palace. This is intentionally a hot take, I wanted to try and out-crazy "Noted major philanthropist Godbert Manderville actually hates poors for reasons no one has been able to explain."

We'll decide if Godbert is good or not when they finally add a trial for him.

Reading about The Striking Tree as I'm reaching that point in the MSQ and it seems intimidating, and that got me wondering; what sort of targeting hotkeys should I set up? Right now it's kind of a mess where I've got nearest target set to one of my aux mouse buttons and then everything else is sort of clicking wildly into a maelstrom of huge, glowing hell and hoping I draw aggro.

I think focus target has a default bind (shift-f?) if you want to keep track of a mob or player you can't target all the time. Otherwise tab target is fine, you can adjust its behaviour in the options somewhere but I never really needed anything else. Target of target might also be bound by default, it's mostly useful for healers (switch to heal the tank, from the mob you're DPSing) but I usually select healing targets from the party list (clicking or F row).

Oneiros posted:msq The Striking Tree isn't bad at all, especially as a tank. don't sweat it. Yeah. The thing to remember when you search for information on trials/dungeons is that the guides are typically made when the content has just come out. For ARR trials, that was for people in crap gear (the ilvl for Striking Tree is i65, whereas most people will be synced to i130, literally twice the item level), plus there have been three expansions worth of power creep (even if you did it at minimum ilvl you'd be doing, like 25%ish more damage and have way more mitigation tools than people at the same ilvl when the content is current). Expect ARR trials to take, like, 2-3 minutes, when they were originally 8-10 minute fights.

whenever i actually get it in trial roulette no one remembers any of the mechanics and it doesn't matter at all. power creep has completely obliterated any challenge it might have originally presented.

That said, the Extreme version of Striking Tree (so, not the version you're forced to do) is basically the first piece of outright Hard Content that the game really puts forward, so it tends to catch new players flat-footed. Yeah, there were Extremes before it, but they weren't actually big steps above what the game asked you to do in earlier difficulties of that fight; Ramuh is.

old hard content was pretty dumb. players are a lot better these days, even accounting for the power creep (exception made for hw savage raiding, which from all accounts and what i've seen was excruciating thanks to a confluence of questionable game design decisions) Oneiros fucked around with this message at 11:43 on Nov 23, 2022 |

Thanks for the reassurances, I'm probably overthinking things a bit, yeah. On the subject of targeting it's honestly a question of making it less annoying more than making it "correct", especially in pvp, where there's so much happening that I can barely see my mouse cursor.

the actual hard extreme of ARR was mog, because it's so goddamn janky imo. re: HW, people kept saying the game was too easy in ARR, so due to feedback, HW was made a little harder, and this combined with server tickrate positioning/tether jank killed so many statics lmao

Character Configuration -> Control Settings -> Battle Effect Settings -> Party [X] Show Limited, Others [X] Show Limited As somebody who started the game getting constant visual overload and spacing out for split seconds in dungeon combat this will remove most stuff except the most meaningful team work visuals such as healer bubbles to stand in and ninja ground aoes to drag mobs out of to hear them scream. I also recommend Hud Layout -> Enemy List. Make sure it's somewhere easy to see and click. If you have the enemy pile on you but there's something loose it'll be a green dot instead of a red dot on the list, you can click the name directly and throw a +threat axe at them! hopeandjoy posted:Everyone shut up about Godbert being a republican and look at my lizard. *humming and squinting, thinking critically* *reaches over and pats the lizard on the head* A good lizard.
