Regalingualius posted:TBH, ARR postgame was basically just “when are we getting to The best and worst part of the ARR post-game is the humiliation of Alphinaud, because it's a great character moment for him that advances the game's world, but it's infuriating when you're playing it because the looming betrayal is really obvious but they've turned your character into a stupid idiot so you're forced to nod and go along with it all

reports from the catgirl mmo thread about raiding please think about your posting like a raid and don't stand in the red circle of posts what i'm trying to say is use the ignore function of the somethingawful forums if there's someone you want to ignore i won't be probing people for being wrong about catgirl mmo mechanics

The crafted gear looks great and will have some glam use after it's obsolete. The design-a-weapon contest winners all look great. The rest of it looks very bland

Getting real tired of striking sets that would make a good RDM glam while the casting set is more loving robes. Lunar envoy is probably the worst recent offender, that striking set could work as RDM artifact armor.

Every class can look like anything antithetical to their class fantasy, including other classes, like they're on vacation from our reality in street clothes, or nearly naked.

Mordiceius posted:Yeah. And those are called extremes. Yeah. I'd argue in terms of difficulty curve it's Dungeons and MSQ trials<Alliance Raids & Normal Raids<Extremes<<Savage<<Ultimate. With other content to be put somewhere on the scale. Extremes are in the end moderately difficult DDR sessions with lenient DPS requirements compared to the harsher Savages.

If anything, the difficulty curve in FFXIV is pretty well designed IMO, and the varying difficulties allow for a very gradual slope up, especially now with the Variant Dungeons providing a step between Extreme and Savage.

I would tend to agree that the jump from normal to extreme is quite big. I'd like there to be some content which is doable with duty finder but a bit more sweaty than what we already have

My usual vibe is witchy so I really don't mind the robes, but casting as a whole with gear is weird. Smn, rdm, blm all have very different aesthetics and at least two of the three suffer expac to expac

I think the crafted healer set looks cool. I'll be rocking that for a while. I don't dig the raid gear as much. Not as big into the draped robes. Some of the floating crystals look neat though.

Vitamean posted:thing is from a dev standpoint extremes are meant to be done via DF. it's mostly a cultural issue we have where people are expected to only do them via PF. Yeah, I feel like it comes down to the idea that whenever there is a level of personal responsibility required that can't be effortlessly covered by the rest of the group, people resort to PF. With pretty much all "normal" content, you can have one or two players that are basically dead weight and die repeatedly and still be fine. Sure, it may take a little longer, but you'll be fine. And honestly, I don't know what kind of "mid-core" content you would create and slot between normal and extreme content. I think one reason people find extremes intimidating is because you really can't go in blind and expect to do well. When it comes to normal 8mans raids and trials, I don't look up anything before. I mash that duty finder button and go. I would never do that with extremes, if only out of respect for others time.

Lots of extremes especially are blind friendly in the first week or two. If that’s your thing there’s plenty of time where that’s the norm.

Also in terms of pure mechanism, ShB and EW have tended to make the starting extremes relatively easy. Innocence is an example.

I don't do Extremes when they're current, if I can out ilvl them I will and even then I have to be feeling good about my chances. Because yeah, I don't want to be the guy who wastes everyone's half hour because we can't clear an enrage or something.

Eureka & Bozja and their associated raids were basically duty findable Normal+. Criterion dungeons aren't done in DF, but they do require less group finding work to get started with. I do think the current Extremes could stand being tuned down a couple notches. The last couple of Exs have had a lot going on, lenient enrages or not.

The exs usually ramp up from the X.0 forward.
