Great idea YoshiP, let's instance the new areas so they don't get congested! The original areas, the ones that people will need to log into to actually get to the areas without congestion? Oh, those will be fine :v:

I managed to get the company actions up, so when you can actually log in you will at least have reduced teleport costs. :toot:

Also I see they're basically forcing us to use those wheel things if we want level 3 company actions, so, I guess somebody should get on that, eventually, when we can log in.

This reminds me, I think I was working on my books before I stopped playing, is that weapon going to be immediately obliterated upon hitting expansion content or should I still work on getting the stuff for it?

If you take it all the way to Zeta it's still good for a couple levels.

I'm thinking about trying this out again and have a question. If I delete my character on Excalibur, will I be able to make a new one without dealing with the 'no new chars can be created on the server' thing?

Why would you delete your character?

None of the classes are very different honestly. They'd just be cool.

Could do a parry tank with it maybe.

Now Blue Mage, that's one that I want but don't ever see them doing.

Dark Knight is already a parry tank. Not that parry is any good, still, and thankfully it has actual mitigation cooldowns, but it uses parry the same way Paladin uses shield blocks.

I had a flash of memory, isn't that the one that utterly wiped out your save file as a reward for one of the endings? Man even FFXI wasn't that hardcore :v:

Yes. If you get the last ending to Nier it erases your save data and makes a note in the game's config save preventing you from ever making a dude with the same name.

What up poison forgetting buddy.

I'm against meters though, mostly because they don't actually fix the fundamental problem with bad DPS, which is either a refusal to learn how their abilities work or an inability to learn/keep up with mechanics. Just having a number doesn't tell anyway what's wrong, only that something is wrong.

I already had that and most of the twists spoiled for me so I wasn't too invested in the whole thing really. But the common explanation that no weapon = no power works for me.

Just started the Ishgard stuff and the fact that Alphinaud has a new VA that doesn't make me switch tabs is cool too!

They actually mention that in the 50 DRK quest. Speaking of which, that entire 30-50 questline is pretty incredible. Although it really makes me wish there was a chair made of skulls and bones in the game. The post 50 DRK trainer though, it's like YoshiP kept sending back the design with the words 'more spikes' and 'darker' written on them.

The Hinterlands is the worst, because you get there at 57, but can't unlock flying until 59, and it's basically impossible to run FATEs in that zone to earn those two levels without flying because the whole zone is split in two through Idylshire.

Now I'm wondering, did they ever go into the actual process of them transferring the servers over to Europe?

The fastest way to transfer files of the size involved here is to physically transfer the medium, yes. It's every player character on every world in the datacenter, that's gotta be at least a couple dozen terabytes unless their storage scheme is really good (it's not).

Maybe one day we'll get an evasion tank class and DEX will be useful for that.

Quoting because this is hilarious. If the development team have learned anything from working around the FFXI guys it would be evasion tanks are bad for encounter design. All the existing tanks are mitigation and tend to do roughly the same numbers there, an evasion tank would be nightmare on healers, since if they were pure evasion with no mitigation they would be fine until they actually got hit, where they would drop instantly if it was a tank buster.

Somebody in PYF found the real life fat cat.

Chili posted:

Oh god you guys, I'm so happy.

My fiancee and are continuing along with fostering kittens/cats from our local SPCA. There was a cat that needed fostering who was... 30 pounds. Yes, a 30 pound cat. His name is Butterscotch and he looks incredible.



Anyway, we were going to pull the trigger but someone else beat us to it. But today, we found out that his current fosters have sucked and he didn't eat with them for 3 days! Needless to say these people were let go and we were immediately summoned to come and get him, we're one of the SPCA's favorite fosters!

It's a really good day, we get DAT FAT KITTY and we found out we're doing a good job.

Of course, there will be far too many pictures of Butterscotch posted on Friday, once we get him. According to our point person, he's very needy and cuddly. This is going to be the best.

He won't be Fat Kitty forever, we're gonna be working with him to get him to a healthful weight so he can be adopted (but this already feels a hell of a lot like a foster failure).

Are you ready for Fat Kitty? You better be ready, 'cos Fat Kitty is a comin.

Can we get a hardmode version of the void ark series in the future?
Using the 1st void ark as an example...

TL : DR
210 dyable void ark gear
higher boss hp
shorter enrage timers
higher incoming damage
failed mechanics = wipe
Only premade alliances can enter
aimed to be bis ex difficulty scaled to 24 man.

This would close the midcore content gap. The fights would be retuned, not redesigned. It would give meaning to grouping up outside of df. A sense of community would return to the end game. etc etc etc

That will depend on if/how much lower level duties give out in light on undersized.
