Iron Tusk posted:Ugh. Too much hype. Can't sleep. There's a part of me that goes "you are far too old to be this hype for a videogame release". And then there's another part that answers back "if I was incapable of getting hype for something this fantastic-looking, I'd be dead inside". On the whole, I think it's okay to be hype for something that looks this promising.  I'm probably going to either Splat or Bloodborne while we wait for the servers to come back. Furnaceface posted:Friends and goons hyped the poo poo out of this game, so I bought it while it was on sale on Steam... last night right as the servers went down for an expansion. Best timing, after today's wait you'll get a huge boost to leveling from 1-50.

I still say it's fun to go back into the older threads and see just how goddamn far we've come. Especially the old 1.0 threads, full of despair. http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3353297 - original retail thread, the dawn begins to break on page 62. http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3433215 - Yoshi-era 1.0, ends when the servers go down. http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3516878 - the transition, beta, and launch 2.0 thread. Watching people realize the game is good in this thread is just  -inducing.Now, of course, we get to fill the current thread with talk of bad DRKs and fracture. So far, yet still so near~

psymonkey posted:I want Chrono Trigger content so bad in this game. Magus Castle Dungeon/Raid, ehhh??? Tyranos Lair? Black Omen?? Come on SE!! They actually have been tallying both the SaGa games and Chrono Trigger with the Final Fantasy series in other crossover products to ensure those games get exposure at all, so it's not impossible, really. I'd love a Black Omen-inspired raid.

Yeah I can't even get through the lobby at this point. I knew poo poo would be congested, but this is grim. At least I did get onto Zodiark for a little bit and tried out dragonprincess animations. In the main, I like them quite a bit  they don't have as great a /grovel as lalafells, but then nobody can really have as great a grovel because a proper-size person trying to mimic the lalagrovel would look like they're shattering their kneecaps. The other animations are nicely characterful, though, and by and large I dig 'em.Now I just need to see how my dragonprincess looks in my wardrobe.  Yoship plsquick edit in a queue thank gods

LITERALLY MY FETISH posted:given how popular DRK is on the RP server, a lot of what I'm seeing is probably both, DRK is a VERY popular class on balmung. chuuni job, 100% confirmed But yeah, threat gen is not a problem for DRK unless you sync down to >26 (and at that level threat is a joke for every tank ). The whole point of Dark Arts + Power Slash is to give you bonkers threat gen, and everything else important also has huge enmity scaling, so no DRK should have threat problems. The easy threat gen is one of the reasons I love tanking with it! (Now if only it was a little clearer exactly how Unleash worked vis-a-vis the "hit" going out compared to the animation...)

Niton posted:On this, though, I rather suspect you aren't, but we'll have to wait for the first balance patch to see what that entails. Well, I also meant that more as "what is either tank class supposed to do versus Fell Cleave" we will have to see if that sticks around.quote:Relatedly, I hope they address the weirdness of Fairy scaling in 3.0 - thanks to either a bug or change in the way 51-60 fairies calculate their stats, level 60 fairies heal for less as a percentage of your other heals than they did at 50. If you take a level 50 and a level 60 Scholar with equal MND and WD, the level 50's fairy heals for about 25% more I'm 90% sure this is a bug, though, and I'm a little surprised it wasn't fixed in this go-around. While it does seem like they were a little surprised at how long Scholars were spending in Cleric, the way the numbers are lining up right now just seems like an oversight. I can't imagine them intending for a fairy's "naked" healing to get smaller as you go higher in level. (And besides, if they didn't want SCH doing allthedamage, they wouldn't have given us Broil. )

From some comments the art team's made in certain places (like the art books), this is the reason - super long hair is a technical nightmare on multiple levels in the current engine, and only NPCs like Iceheart get such hair because the art team can exert far more control over the hair per-scene, compared to a player's hair which has to work everywhere and ideally clip as little as possible. (Longer hair would be cool)

Will I be fine idling in the FC until then? As I recall, we typically boot people who haven't logged in for 60 days or more periodically. If we're really squeezed for space and have tons of demand, I think we've done 30-day kicks. You're fine either way if you log in within 3 days and were on just a day or two ago.

abraham linksys posted:So, if you're not doing Savage, is the Esoterics gear kind of the last grind until 3.1? Like, Esoterics gear is all better than the story Alexander gear, so the only reason to run Alexander at this point is if you like the way that set looks, I guess? This is all confusing. Basically, yes. In fact upgraded Esoterics gear is probably going to be the best gear available until 3.2, as in the content model to date, odd-numbered patches have been "catch-up" patches. You're limited in how much Esoterics you get a week, though, so Alex normal will help fill that in. I didn't anticipate Esoterics being that much more powerful than Alex normal, though. That is one gently caress of a power spike we're seeing at 60 at this point. Farg posted:So if I Only did EXDR, it would take 6 days to cap esoterics? What if I threw in frontlines and trials? Or even just extra EXDR runs? Actual clears of Fractal/Reap will provide Esoterics too, so it's more like four days. If you do EXDR and Trial consistently, which takes less than an hour, capping should not be remotely an issue. SpaceDrake fucked around with this message at 15:15 on Jul 21, 2015 |

LegionAreI posted:So being the scrubbiest scrublord that ever did scrub in America, I tanked the boss, got the clear for the newbie, and got my amusement all at the same time. I don't get what these people get out of going off like that, but whatever floats your boat I guess? A lot of people simply go by their previous experiences in a given piece of content and assume it must be like that all the time, or simply have a comfort zone which they shut down outside of. Despite being nearly level 60, he probably never did the math and realized that Protect isn't even necessary for pre-30 dungeons, or didn't realize that, especially with the changes to syncing, a SCH can easily solo the dungeons at that level. He flipped out because he was afraid of ephemeral "failure", but for whatever reason couldn't process the information in front of him that revealed his fears were unfounded.

vanbags posted:So I have a question about tanking the 4th floor of Alexander. Not necessary. The Manipulator itself copies the aggro of the leg currently being attacked, so all tank-targeting mechanics will target the tank attacking one leg. There is no need to engage both legs at once (and in fact when one goes down the other gets a full heal, wasting the damage you did).

vanbags posted:That's what I thought, but I wanted to make sure. If I'm the tank with aggro should I also be eating orbs? In phase 1, sure, doesn't matter too much who intercepts them as long as they can soak a 4-5k hit. In phase 3, absolutely not, as Discoid is a multi-part attack then, and soon after orbs spawn, you'll get shot in the face with a succession of 5k+ laser blasts from Manipulator's center eye. Pikachu posted:Still can't clear A2  I've never even seen an A2 fail if it wasn't being done goofily on purpose with Goons and I have no idea how a tank could be so asleep as to not pick stuff up in the normal mode of that fight.

SirPhoebos posted:Is it me, or did a bunch of characters get new VAs between ARR and HW? Real answer: yes, for reasons they haven't quite explained yet, SE began transitioning to a London-based recording studio in 2.4 for the Ishgardian characters, and with Heavensward moved English voice production over there completely, with the attendant role changes for the non-Ishgardian cast. (The old voice recording had been done in Los Angeles.) As a result, there's actually a fair number of Xenoblade veterans among the cast now - Tataru is Fiora, which is basically the best thing, and Pipin, for all he doesn't get a ton of screentime this expansion so far, is Shulk. Sadly, no Jay Taylor (Reyn) or Rufus Jones (Dunban), though with Jones that's probably because he's busy as hell. We also got David Warner (Jon Irenicus, Chancellor Gorkon, et cetera) as Edmont, which just owns.
