Chunni and The 'Bo, Amateur Detectives: On the Case!

This week's story: "The mystery of someone else's name on the placard of that one housing plot I bid on" or, "The 'Bo delivers a beatdown!"


An aside, getting that multi-million gil deposit back from a failed housing bid softens the disappointment a good deal. Fingers crossed for next time.

I'm rooting for you guys Chunni and the 'Bo.

I think on Secure the timing on mid is based on when the last drone is destroyed, so it slightly varies from game to game.

I'm pretty sure it's hard linked to specific times. But also, I've intentionally avoided secure for over a year now. Boycott secure!

I REALLY need a macro that tells me (and other folks) when mid pops open.

In a game a couple nights ago I asked in /a, and people couldn't tell me.

it happens 4 minutes after the previous mid objective died

also the big boi always spawns at 10:00 regardless of the other drones

I play on Jenova but a lot of the NA DC are congested status so it's just now Dynamis or nothing atm.

My Frontline record is about 31/31/37. I think my lowest win-rate map is the one with the ice crystals. I hate Borderland Ruins, though. It's the "fair" map in that the spawns don't favor one team, but that makes it take too long while DRKs and MNKs suck (or push) all the fun out of it.

Seal Rock and Onsal turn into absolute bloodbaths but that means you've got a chance to get a really good team that obliterates the other two

my small fc with like all but two inactive members play on Mateus, but we’re heavily considering switching to Dynamis because of the EXP boost, Gil, and the chance to get a medium or even large house. waiting on the other fc members to give their opinions before we do. plus, switching off of an Congested world is free. lots of incentive.

Didn't you mean to ask about flowers?
Does capping points really help? Due to the spawning invincibility buffs 99% of the time pushing onto the enemy point just loses you 5 points for everybody who doesn't run fast enough and you gain what, +2 per 10 seconds you held it? Add in the potential for BH losses and the margin for a true gain is razor thin. At least if you have a back cap team like when the drones spawn in the center you can grab points and gain a benefit + deny passive enemy point gain for the time they're swapped.

Vitamean

back caps sow discord in the target team as dudes yell their heads off in chat going "ONLY SEND A FEW PEOPLE" as like half their team mobs onto a point where there's either one tank or nobody. if you time it right you can draw teams away from the mid points in secure, or reduce their numbers right before a big crystal in shatter.

Ah true. Nothing like inflicting upon the enemy the things that give me headaches.

Some wanna-be shotcaller mashing his <se-6> macro while screaming BASE BASE BASE oh noooo our passive +20 points in a minute

Yeah the point of a back cap is for one pld or drk to get 5-10 opponents to stop doing possibly useful things and instead attempt to kill one guy far away from the actual fight. And the pld/drk gets away without even dying a lot of the time because tanks are fuckin hard to kill in pvp.

Meanwhile the rest of their team capitalized on the numerical advantage to turn a slugfest into a rout.

Bases do matter in Secure, but you can leave respawners with invuln to fix your home base most of the time. And if you get a genuine murderball rolling, you can more or less ignore the bases and win handily without them.

Yeah, I would consider it worthy since there's a LOT of open housing in the new DC. The downside is the slower queue times and emptier areas. I thought about moving but then the extra wards opened and I won a Small house in the Empy.

That said the solution to slower queues and emptier areas is for more people to put their mains on there.

this, except the big boi also doesn't count for the timing of the next set. this is maybe the only part of secure timing that actually helps much to know; basically let's say small nodes spawn at 10:30, die at 10:18, then the big node spawns at 10:00 and dies at 9:45, the next set of nodes will spawn at 6:18. So this spawn tends to catch teams off guard since it feels like it happens faster than the other ones, since they were hanging around for the big node longer
