Clarste posted:That defeats the entire point of the dungeon roulette, which is to force max level players to help out new level 20 players who need to clear the dungeon for the MSQ. If it was based on the average party level then the low level dungeons wouldn't come up, ever, and it would become impossible for new players to level up.

You can make shots pop quite a lot with just the basic filters in gpose, though yeah I think most everyone is on the reshade train.

My start of Stormblood was actually Heavensward. Yeah, I reached HW just as Stormblood launched. So: But I actually made it through the expansion! And got a little better at /gpose.  (Still not sure about the Noct hair...)

This is the oldest screenshot I could find. The file is dated August 18, 2013. Which means it must be from the last open beta or the date got messed up somewhere along the line (ARR's early access started 8/24/13). I mained BRD through 2.x This one is right after I got my i90 relic completed. To date the only relic/anima/eureka weapon I've had finished when it was still current.  This is right before HW's launch, patch 2.4 I think. I'd started playing more PLD at that point.  Didn't take too many selfies through HW. This is dated about 2 weeks before SB's launch.  A week later I changed my hair. The Aesthetician was a godsend. Sometime after I took the first 2 shots, I used my free fantasia to change hair/makeup.  Finally, I took these a week or so ago. I may have already posted them.

Man, I had like back to back the best dungeon experience and the worst dungeon experience The Worst: I was running Brayflox's Longstop, and god had bestowed upon me the stupidest loving monk in existence. There are certain Aggro who just think they are invincible and God's gift and will do ANYTHING to get into the fight before the Tank engages, and then do everything in their power to ignore the fight mechanics because why would they pay attention? Failure 1 happened when we hit the basin, the wide open area with a tonne of Mobs. I know Monks have a lot of positionals to work with, but he continuously moved in such a way to bring in more groups with a healer who was not the best trying to keep him alive as me (The tank) Ran to take on even more enemies I was not prepared to handle. I said "Hey, I know Monk has a lot of positionals, but please try not to draw in more enemies. I was promptly ignored and two groups were pulled. Failure 2 happened against the Bubble Frog. Our other DPS got put in the bubble so I told him to go pop it while I drew Aggro. He didn't, then our healer was bubbled, and he refused to stop doing his DPS combo. So, I figured "gently caress it, you want to be a Tank so badly?" And decided to go after the bubbles again, upon ME doing so, he finally got the hint and started to do it. And then there was the loving Dragon, this was just a messy, terrible fight. So, one of our DPS, not the Tank, Returns to Spawn when killed rather than wait for the res. So now we're down a DPS in the fight. The Healer has basically drained all their MP, so heals are even more infrequent, which is very awkward, especially when I'm trying to get the boss out of poison pools. I go down about... 3 times in the fight? On the final time, our good friend the Monk decides "Rather than pulling Aggro away from the healer who needs to resurrect our Tank, I'll let them die and solo this fight." So we wipe, no problem, we'll do it again with 2 DPS now. Our healer has no idea how to Return to Spawn. We try coaching them, we tell them what to do, nearly 10 minutes of a healer just refusing to respawn and having no idea how to do it. So then the monk quits, we boot the Healer, and then another DPS and Healer join and we do the fight near flawlessly. IN COMPARISON while my first run on the Aurum Vale had a lot of failings on my part, my Astrologian Healer was very polite in explaining the duty to me, understanding of my initial mess ups, and was overall a very positive mentor who made sure I got the mechanics and which ones I was likely to encounter in the future.

kirbysuperstar posted:You mean any shots from 1.x? I fell down a rabbit hole of watching 1.x cutscenes and kind of impressed at how much better they look and how much better characters emote, but also can see the problems it would have caused GPUs and, well, overall server stability of the time. So to answer your question, yes. 1.0 came out at a time when I was not at all interested in MMOs, so I never played it.

GunblazeGriffin posted:That would be great; I'd love to see an example layout. Sorry this took a bit, but here you go. Gyazo doesn't seem to work with timg for me, so I'll just use links. I use the dpad+dpad/buttons+buttons layout instead of the default dpad+buttons/dpad+buttons. The normal hotbar is just to keep an eye on timers; I've also seen people use WXHB for that instead. These are my old layout: main crossbars and expanded crossbars. These are when I decided to rearrange: main crossbars and expanded. My current layout, which is just a slightly modified version of the above one: main crossbars and expanded. It still could be better; in particular the pre-pull diversion, botd, elusive jump is slightly annoying, but I'll either figure out something else I like or get used to it. Chaeden posted:As a side note, the only time I ever feel its a little justified for players to do this poo poo is Black Mages trying to offload their foul as quickly as possible and monks hoping to maintain GL. ...Dragoon...[has] no reason to... Not touching the rest of this, but if you're excusing MNK for it because of their timer, do you not realize that DRG is also on a timer that can't be kept up indefinitely outside of combat?

I think this was CBT but my GTX-260 and uh..hm, I can't remember what CPU I had. I think it was a Phenom of some kind and then I went to an X6 afterwards.. but yeah it did not handle the game well.  Album of what I had lying around here: https://imgur.com/a/3lhgINx I like the ones where you can see that I had to drop the resolution pretty hard to maintain a whopping 15-20fps.

FactsAreUseless posted:Having a distinct color theme for characters is great. I had a lot of light blues when I was MCH and now I'm mostly red purple gold and black more or less as a result of maining BLM now. I pretty much exclusively use Rhotano Blue and Wine Red for all my glams. It's a good colour combo and I don't see any reason to change it.

In 1.0, I endeavoured to make myself look like as much of an unlikeable douche as possible, and I daresay I was pretty successful: At ARR launch, I couldn't resist the siren call of the male catgirl, so I changed to this:  By HW launch, I had tweaked my catman into his final facial incarnation:  Since then the only thing that's changed is my screenshotting ability:  Easy, Breezy, Beautiful, Male CatgirlTM Namnesor fucked around with this message at 02:32 on May 21, 2019 |

I started the game out as a THM, ended up switching to PLD at lvl ~30? then WAR after I finished ARR, then WAR all the way to 4.x, with some detours along the way But you know what? It's good to be back.   Exact same cat, I only changed the hair when I finished ARR because it clipped horribly with my Ironworks fending armour. Internet upload crapped out after I got those two through so I can't show off the older stuff, but I wanted to share them because they look dope

This is my very second screenshot I ever took all the way back in ARR (the first one had the UI on it) Here's from when I was an Au Ra, it's one of many screenshots that I actually know is from HW.  And here's my latest, although I'm probably going to fantasia out of Roedame when Shadowbringers hits
