Minrad posted:Also I've been holding off gushing but drat, this expansion really nails the idea of telling a story and delivering a compelling single player experience compared to ARR. The latter patches did a much better job of it, but so far all the single player instances, class quests, and storylines have been great. Even my friend who could barely stand leveling 1-50 in ARR is really digging what HW is doing so far. Yeah since there's always people complaining but rarely celebrating, I just want to add, Heavensward is goddamned amazing so far and definitely lives up to the hype I really can't believe how good the story is. Like it's actually pretty good on its own merits, not just "less poo poo than other video games". The areas are beautiful and huge and there's just so much to do it's hard to stay on one track.

Rincewind posted:Since most of your XP comes fro,m quests and not mob kills, am I correct in thinking it's fine to have my Chocobo out for leveling my first class through HW? I do. Mine is rank 17 so the xp from kills is pretty pathetic but for challenge log and utility, it's nice. It's always been better to have it out anyway since it actually does enough DPS and utility that you can kill stuff faster to more than make up for it.

Blockhouse posted:gently caress I want to level DRK but tanking is scary and I think after machinist I won't want to level much of anything for a while Just do it, tanking owns. The worst thing that can happen is some nerds on the internet whine at you in party chat sometimes until you get good, and even that's unlikely. Generally your mechanics are much less complicated than DPS classes as you're more concerned with things DPS generally don't have to do like positioning and such, so don't think that tanking is basically doing monk combos/rotation while also all the fight mechanics. It's easier than that.

Eimi posted:So there is one thing about the story thus far that has pissed me off, so I hope someone further along can spoil the poo poo out of it. Please, please tell me Nanamo is really dead and all this she might be alive is a false plot and the dumb bitch is dead. If its true its the biggest misstep in the game so...yeah. I really don't know how anyone could ever possibly think that she was actually dead. You see her drink the wine then she's just whisked away, and when Raubaun demanded to see her they were really cagey about it; if she was actually dead they'd be practically throwing her corpse at him. This is an anime, after all. As a wise goon once said, if you don't see a mangled corpse, the character isn't dead. Also wtf how can you hate the sultana

hobbesmaster posted:Yay I'm back from a month long business trip and can play the game again just in time for early access for my preorder! Only... I can't, I got the code, went to enter it and for some reason its a steam account despite never buying the game through steam? So the code they gave me doesn't work and apparently I couldn't purchase it through steam either since I never paid for it through steam. Is support seriously not open again until monday? I fly out again tuesday so I'm guessing I just wasted money. If that is indeed the case I'm so so sorry, that loving sucks. That said, are you sure you're not just trying to register the expansion? Early access isn't an expansion code, and nobody has an expansion code that didn't buy from Steam. Follow the instructions carefully, you need to register as I believe a pre-order bonus code.

Renegret posted:I am so triggered right now. I am up to WAR 55 and DRK 34 and woke up at for launch time and have been playing nearly nonstop and I feel behind compared to some of these people. That's the worst thing about these things I feel bad for stopping to smell the roses even though I really shouldn't  Also speaking of lesser poopsockser epiphanies, I finally decided to start playing with stance dancing as WAR in dungeons and it turns out it's really goddamned cool and it seems like you're kind of supposed to. When you switch, your stacks are converted between Wrath and Abandon as appropriate. When taking heavy hits from bosses, throw up Defiance, when adds come out or there's a DPS check, switch to Deliverance. All 3 tanks have stance switching mechanics now, and it seems like MOST of the new WAR stuff is centered on basically allowing WAR to do this too, and as such I predict a lot of Alexander and Extremes will be tailored towards tanks switching between defensive and dps stances. It really makes WAR's rotation and cooldown management a lot more interesting as well as continuing the grand WAR tradition of kind of blowing apart the implied linear and static order of a "rotation" in lieu of doing things that are situationally appropriate, which is pretty much why I love WAR so much in the first place. Now to find hotbar room and work out muscle memory for stance switching which I previously had in a weird spot in the corner :V Boten Anna fucked around with this message at 18:39 on Jun 21, 2015 |

vanbags posted:Is this game worth it for someone who exclusively enjoys PvP endgame? While the PvP is good, it's extremely limited in scope and content compared to everything else, and it will take a lot PvE to unlock and get stuff you will want for PvP. As such it sounds like this game probably wouldn't tickle your fancy unless you find something compelling in the PvE that you didn't expect, which isn't impossible because the PvE is a lot more interesting mechanics-wise than pretty much any other MMO. I really enjoy the PvP in this game but not particularly the /marked/ PVP parts--I enjoy getting into wacky tank threat fights in Crystal Tower

ActionZero posted:A new Odin-like Fate spawned in Dranavian Forelands on Hyperion and I had to teleport out cause actions were taking like 10 seconds to fire off (I'm going relatively slowly so new to the zone and had no idea how to get to it). I find it odd that Dravanian Forelands isn't on the instanced zones list, it seemed to be getting more and more crowded. Wonder if it will be added soon. vanbags posted:Could you elaborate a little on this? Is this like WotLK where PvE gear shits all over PvP? First of all, to really unlock PvP you will need to level to 50 and complete the main story quest; you can't level through PvP, it's an endgame activity. There are some 4v4 arena matches that are sub-level 50 but nobody does them and the rewards are garbage. There are basically two PvP activities: Wolf's Den and Frontlines. Wolf's Den are 4v4 arena matches, and they're not very popular and if I recall the rewards are rather slow in coming. I believe there's a small community of people who are really into it, but I don't know much about it. Frontlines are similar to WoW battlegrounds, with one being something like Arathi Basin and the other more objective based where there are more adds to kill for points in addition to other players. There's a "roulette" (daily bonus for doing it at random) for it that offers XIV's equivalent of Honor/Valor and some really cool mounts and cosmetic rewards locked behind grinding it out, so it's much more popular, but queues can still be slow. By completing PvP matches you get PvP ranks (levels) and PvP currency to buy PvP gear that has good PvP stats and, more importantly to most players, looks really cool. PvP experience lets you enhance PvP abilities and base stats. There are PvP abilities in addition to the PvE abilities, with some PvE abilities working differently or having no effect (Provoke, for instance, does nothing). As this creates something of a wall between PvE and PvP balance, there's a complete lack of the WoW plague of one or the other necessitating unnecessary balance changes to the opposite. As far as gear goes, Frontlines normalizes everybody's gear to be roughly the same, making it difficult to get a massive gear advantage. That said, PvP gear is optimally statted for PvP and will improve your performance, and you only really get it from participating in PvP.

Kuai posted:You really didn't think this out did you..... I did, actually. I'm 90%+ certain that the new relic quest is going to, probably in the first step, involve statting it with materia. The advantage that previous relichavers will have over people making a new one is that they can use what they already have, and have to add just rank 5 materia or something, rather than ALL of them. A few hundred k as a bet that this will be the case (I was already almost done with this, I might add, I didn't JUST redo it) seems wise. If I'm wrong, oh well, if I'm right, I saved myself millions of gil later. The market will probably crash more, so maybe I spent more than I really had to, but I wouldn't have even been out nearly as much if I wasn't totally hosed by RNG and had to use 7 of the loving det materias to get the last one to stick. The only other real risk is if crit/det ends up not being perfect but even with the adjustments to determination, I somehow doubt it.

SwissArmyDruid posted:There's a reason why Rei_, Gaga, and I are all sperging over Fell Cleave. It's because we finally get to slap things around for back-to-back 3K crits with i130 gear. Deliverance finally delivers (heh) on the thematic promise of Warrior: a tank that can absolutely wreck poo poo. I am consistently out dpsing the actual DPS right now and it's amazing, and way more challenging and fun as staying in Deliverance requires way more careful and fiddly threat management. I'm excited to see how it goes when I finally have all of the skills and get a lot more practice.

Ciaphas posted:What does Deliverance itself do? Do you lose the mitigation from Defiance while it's up? You get a 5% DPS increase (sounds small but remember the previous WAR DPS stance was "turn defiance off" and it was still good) and generate stacks of Abandon instead of Wrath, switching stances also converts the stacks to the appropriate ones. Each stack of Abandon increases your crit rate and at 5 stacks you can use Fell Cleave which does ridiculous damage (I had one crit for 3700 last night), or an AOE I don't have yet. Lining everything up so you berserk, maim, storm's path, internal release, and then Fell Cleave, Infuriate, Fell Cleave does ridiculous and hugely satisfying amounts of damage. The new ability that parries from the front (name escapes me at the moment) also generates a stack of wrath/abandon, so along with Vengence and Berserk you can turbo up more stacks to get more Fell Cleave in, especially during berserk. I'm excited for the level 58 ability too, which is a self cure in defiance and gives you 400 TP in deliverance. I have sacrificed so many virgin goats to the dark lord praying for a TP restore ability. So many.

The chat log you have to change the font size, the other items I don't believe I've found a solution for There's an option on the main menu to default the HUD to be bigger but it didn't seem to do anything after I set it to 140% (I play at 1440p so having everything big is nice) so I'm guessing it only works with new characters or if you do a total UI reset

I have gotten absolutely poo poo luck for drops; the library after like 6 runs only ever dropped the tanking hands 3 times, and my running total on the expert dungeons is the tank ring 3 times and on the last run, tank feet. As such my gear is awful and I can barely survive in Defiance never mind playing for real and all my dreams are dying  Tanaka has forsaken me. How many Expert runs until I have a full set of Law gear?

I love dungeons so I recommend just doing highest level dungeons after exhausting roulettes, and if you're a dps, do fates while waiting or grab a healer/tank friend and/or goon to queue with. Dungeons are fun and give xp and the best* gear. *Depending on what you mean by best. Are the stats good? The best. Is it pretty gear? The prettiest. Either way, you win!
