ConanThe3rd posted:Sprout question, what is the sort of time of an average, successful, savage-tier battle? About 10 minutes for most, although there's some which are two 7.5ish minute phases with a checkpoint if you beat the first phase. You can shave a couple of minutes off by being good players with good gear. 11 minutes is about the maxiumum before you hit an enrage and get auto-wiped. Ultimates, as well as being longer (the dragonsong one is about 18 minutes, not sure about the new ones) are much faster paced and dense. Savage tends to give you a quick breather between mechanics, Ultimate much less so. Qwertycoatl fucked around with this message at 16:07 on Feb 1, 2023 |

CJ posted:I wonder how many groups have cleared an ultimate completely blind without any addons. I assume most people use strat guides to help them, but for the people doing it blind once they have to sit through 15 minutes of fight while still paying attention just so they can see a couple of seconds of the mechanic they are progressing up to. I get sick of progging the end of 11 minute savage fights so it sounds miserable doing that in an ultimate. Given, that i can understand the temptation of using addons to cut down on the amount of pulls you need to do for information gathering. When everybody is using at least some addons and you only get punished if you leak your screen i can see why people would do it. people should use addons to skip your posts imo

If you mean time from first trying the fight to clearing it, rather than length of a successful pull: that varies by quite a lot. Going by the statics in PCD for this tier -- admittedly a very small dataset -- the average seems to be around 3-4 hours for each of P5S and P6S, then 6-8 hours for P7S, and finally 20-40 hours for P8S. More in some cases; I am still working through the last parts of P8S after some 50h on it. P8S feels like a difficulty outlier though, like a lesser version of where E8S was last expansion. E12S and P4S, the tier end bosses between them, were both considerably easier for me.

P7 is definitely an outlier when it comes to clear time. P8Sp2, my fastest time is 8:12.

SettingSun posted:P7 is definitely an outlier when it comes to clear time. P8Sp2, my fastest time is 8:12. Checkpoint Savage Fights are often shorter than other fights, so in tiers with 2 part savage fourth floors you'll find the third floor is the longest fight. Even saying that, P7S is long even for a third floor.

I hit level 90 back when EW first came out but haven't done anything at level 90 since. I've just been leveling all of my DoH/DoL and combat jobs to 90 since then. Is it too late to catch up on the harder level 90 content now? I've never actually joined a static or anything like that but am interested in what that would look like for a late-comer who has casually played the game for years and is finally getting more serious

I'd say Hydros is the best part of Eureka because of how conveniently laid out it is. First couple levels are in the center, rest are in the west, max level+ stuff in the east. It's a big open plain so bunnies are more convenient. No narrow corridors with rear end in a top hat dragons.

I've never actually joined a static or anything like that but am interested in what that would look like for a late-comer who has casually played the game for years and is finally getting more serious There are still groups learning the new Extreme trial, so that's an easy bet. Most of the dare I say more skilled players have moved on, but you can still get a new group for it. Same as the Unreal trial. Savage is a bit tougher, since that tier is like 5 months old now. Most of the groups running it are just for reclears, but it's not impossible to find people learning or practicing it from the start. Grab some 620 tomestone or alliance raid gear, or get the crafted 610 / upgrade it, and your gear is more than fine. In 3-ish months when the next Savage tier drops, you'll be in a good position to start ground floor. You'll need the new crafted set, and you'll be on equal footing to everyone else, since it will be better than today's BIS.

Orcs and Ostriches posted:Frosty, the guy that's ran the world first events since like Heavensward, basically said going forward his events will only recognize groups that stream/record their progress. This might be pretty dead territory at this point but it doesn't really matter. Someone could be using zoomhacks and simply be one of the non-streaming members, unless they require all members to be streaming but so far no team has done that IIRC. Even then there's no way to enforce a display capture, and any overlay on the window would be invisible. Even the cheaty parts like telesto, triggernometry or trigevent, splatoon, they're all implemented either as overlay plugins or use imgui to draw over the game window and that doesn't get captured unless you go out of your way to do so. There's really no way to verify not having any addons unless every player is verified as being on a console.

Eureka's still good for poetics, so I guess if you're doing it for that weapon or something then fire up an anima quest and do that simultaneously.

XIVLauncher/Dalamud plugins aren't doable on consoles right now (it might be possible with jailbroken consoles, no idea what the status on that is). ACT (and therefore Cactbot, Triggernometry etc...) is still possible by routing the traffic through a PC running that, because it doesn't directly touch the game, it's only reading the network data as it passes by.

Tamba posted:XIVLauncher/Dalamud plugins aren't doable on consoles right now (it might be possible with jailbroken consoles, no idea what the status on that is). The XIV parsing plugin depends on reading the game's memory for things like the party and entity lists. Someone can share their ACT setup and cactbot overlays over the network, but you still need a PC XIV client to function in the first place. editing now that i've gone down the rabbit hole: in fact the XIV parser requires a valid ffxiv exe because it loads that to get the Oodle library loaded to even do the packet decompression in the first place. in addition to reading combatants, party members, the player themselves, the zone and mapid all from memory. there's quite a bit of data like maxhp that doesn't come across the network, and while it's technically possible to build a parser that doesn't depend on reading ffxiv process memory, afaik nobody has bothered to do so parasyte fucked around with this message at 23:20 on Feb 1, 2023 |

For anyone who hasn't noticed, you can buy the opposite gender Valentine's items from the vendor and put em in the armoire, so it doesn't matter that your free coffee is only for your current gender. Costs a pittance of gil. It warns you you'll "never" be able to equip em but I don't believe that. Best to have it stored away just in case.

It's unfortunate, as I think they fully intended to not have gender locks on the gear this time around by default (considering the entire plot of the new event and all), but ultimately ran out of time. Anamnesis shows that there's already models of the gear for both genders, but there's a still a bunch of visible model seams where things don't close cleanly, so they chose to keep them separate for the patch launch until they could be fixed.
