If I'm doing any content the person that gets my comm is the person that has the best adventurer portrait.

I am a controller player, so I Comm whoever is still left. If there's more than one - best portrait gets it. But usually by the time I have tabbed over to the Comm button, most of the party has left.

I had a good run of comms while playing black mage in roulettes and I gotta assume my portrait was carrying most of that. I did hit 3k some time before though so I kinda wish they'd share the love with someone else.

I once had a healer who kept running ahead and getting themselves killed when I wasn't pulling big enough for them. Then they kept yelling at me for ruining the run.

As a healer, I comm anyone that does more damage than me. That's a small list sometimes. Do more damage than the healer, that's all I ask!

Mid to late game healing can take up literally zero time, and if the group is competent all healing will be done with ogcds between damage spells. Having to actually stop damage and use something like Cure 2 is usually a sign that the tank isn’t mitigating properly, or the dps is dreadfully low. It’s not unheard of to not even need those ogcds. A good warrior might be able to be self sufficient and the passive healing from SCH or SGE, or the additional stun time from WHM is more than enough help.

I have done expert roulettes as a sage with my warrior friend where I made a concerted effort not to heal him. Even went so far as to put Kardia on myself or one of the dps and not hit him with AoE heals. We made it through just fine. The sustain on warrior really is bonkers if you know what to do.

I'm still in Heavensward and have been avoiding spoilers; any chance that the new expansion will improve the co-op experience? Trying to catch up my brother through post-RR content and would be nice if we didn't have to keep dropping group.

If you're referring to solo duties, that's just something that'll never change. It's p much a core part of how the game tells its story. Sorry bout that.

Just get into a linkshell with each other so you can talk to each other in chat without needing to party up.

Finally got Archer to 30, and man... They really have a robust repertoire of instruments and a full-fledged synth for each huh? Make you sign a waiver too before getting access to it lol.

Rumor has it if you play Let It Go, one of Disney's lawyers logs into their FF14 account and then forcibly PvPs you to death to stop you from finishing it.

Why? Why did they persist in carrying forward the "spot random blob on landscape with telescope then press button" missions? I think the ONLY one was kind of fun was sniping guards with sleeping darts or whatever it was in Doma. Did the FF16 event this morning, and even it has one. Does anyone actually enjoy these?

People do the highest end raid content on controller, and they're not really at a handicap in that regard. Haven't used one but it seems like it's a good system.

YggiDee posted:it is incredibly playable with controller, there are so many settings and tweaks to smooth everything out. might still want a keyboard for chat though Yeah, it's nice. It takes some settings tweaking, and finding a button layout that makes sense for you, but after that it's great. There are lots of guides on controller setups on YouTube. That should give you enough to tell what it might play like. I should point out that FFXIV is the ONLY MMO I have ever played, and I have only ever played on a controller, which I'm sure colors my perception. Would say that a kb is mandatory to chat, tho. The software kb is useless for any longer than "gg"

kaesarsosei posted:How playable is this game with a controller? It seems a bizarre idea to me. Keeping a keyboard and mouse handy is recommended as you still as you may want to talk to people in your party, and also the targeting system can be weird to adjust to as you use the d-pad to try to target the desired NPC or player. Sometimes just using a mouse to click on someone is easier. There is a controller guide in one of the OPs if you'd like to take a look: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?noseen=0&threadid=3973448&perpage=40&pagenumber=2#post516241905

Tapping down twice will always target the first tank in the party. To cycle from the bottom of the party list up, hit up on d-pad instead. You will never need more than four taps to target a specific party member. Taken from that Akhmorning guide: If it is just one quick heal in-between throwing rocks at enemies, do not hit A to "confirm" the selection, leave them "soft targeted" where they have a partial circle around them without the actual selection reticle, the moment the cast goes off you will automatically be back on your previous target. As an example screenshot also from that guide:  The ladybug here is soft targeted, while the ground squirrel is hard targeted. The moment one spell/ability is used on the ladybug, it will automatically revert back to the squirrel, unless you hit A to confirm the new target. This lets you get a quick single-target heal off and revert back to attacking without any delay, or weave an oGCD heal inbetween casts. It can seem like a lot at first but I find it way more natural than scroll wheel/F-key solutions once you adjust to it. The only place healing with a controller struggles is rezzing people outside your party. Rezzing a healer or tank from the first alliance you have listed is no problem by holding L1+d-pad right, but whatever alliance is displayed second takes way more button presses to reach the tanks and healers. Rezzing people out in the open world or in areas like Eureka/Bozja also often requires zooming in really close in weird ways.

yeah targeting alliance members sucks always on controller, if i'm a healer in frontlines i just pretend my healing only works on me because 90% of the time most of my party is out of range and it's impossible to precisely target any specific player quickly enough to help

Yeah in Frontlines I'm not gonna bother healing outside my party unless I happen to have a mouse nearby while playing on controller. But healers are also barely healers in Frontlines outside of AoE LBs, their single target heals are way more suited for Crystalline Conflict where you can target just fine.
