I know a few dozen people in game. One has gotten past the second trial quest, a few have gotten past Ruabahn. A bunch have been playing since servers came up in the morning on Friday, and have been stuck since then. It'd be nice if only half the game population was stuck.

PVP's been pretty great. The biggest issue is I can only ever queue for one before I get an hour long stream of 90002 errors.

Last night I noticed FFXIV had a viewer count of about 18,000 on twitch, when in general it struggles to hit 3k. I wonder how long that lasted. Sitting at about 8,000 right now, and all the main streamers I recognize are sitting at level 70 doing stuff.

ruta posted:It's me. I know what you're holding because I've seen the animation so much. Sleeve Draw doesn't overwrite any filled card slots, so you don't need to worry about that one. I miss being able to discard a Royal Road effect, because it does help sometimes. Minor Arcanum draw is super good when you're pulling extra spires and poo poo. It's either a free heal or nuke, so just throw that garbage card away and use whatever card you draw.

Levequests, and do your daily GC high quality turnins. While hammering out leves or grinding your turnins, you can also have food (+3%) and your GC survival manual (+50% exp I think?) active.

Vargatron posted:Is it worth leveling Grand Company rep prior to cap? I may have to divert and do different things due to MSQ fatigue this weekend. Also, where do the Hildebrand quests start? I heard those were very good. Hildibrand stats in Ul'dah - The Rise and Fall of Gentlemen. I wouldn't say you need to sit down and grind your GC rep. Just turn in spare dungeon drops and use whatever seals you make to rank up.

nuru posted:The problem is that I main SCH, I'm just leveling as SMN. SCH dps is somehow more complex than AST though, and I think WHM? Don't they each have 1 dot now? ASTs have one dot and a spam. Earthly Star you can use once a minute like Assize, and maybe the Lord of Crowns if the cards work out that way. WHM should have Aero2 and Aero 3 still, as well as stone spam and Assize.

I'm going to say that you'll pick up the essentials of tanking quick enough, and none of the story dungeons are going to be mechanically intensive for a new tank. Learn how to hold threat on multiple targets, learn to use your defensive abilities properly and you've got a good start. once your comfortable not losing threat and not dieing, you can play around with stance dancing on bosses. And if you mess up, well, you mess up. Everyone else is overgeared by this point so you'll have an easy enough time to recover. You can always practice by running some mid-level stuff to get a feel for it. It doesn't really change past the 30s. Tanks come with the benefit of fast queues, whereas you'll probably be waiting ~30 minutes every time you try to do a dungeon as rdm.

It looks like the level 69 dungeon has more Tactics Ogre reference gear. All I have is a ring so I don't know what it looks like, but they're Xenobian and Valerian gear sets again.

The Black Stones posted:So there's no way I'm getting my physical copy of Stormblood before early access cut off. Is there any way S-E could extend that? gently caress their online store so hard, they didn't ship to Canada until Tuesday. With HW they shipped early so I had it before EA ended. Early access is already over. Launch was yesterday. And their online store is pretty consistently terrible if you're shipping to Canada. Doesn't really help but I feel your pain.

So a few things I've noticed on AST. Aspected benefic is loving expensive. 1440 MP at 70, vs 480 for benefic. It costs as much as helios. Collective Unconsciousness seems to break as soon as I cast it a lot. Might be lag related, but it fails half the time for me now. I've used Redraw during really laggy times, and it's given me the same card back. I haven't seen it happen when things are working nice, but it was pretty common over the weekend. Tanks like moving out of Earthly Star. This is the best use of Rescue I've found so far.

Do you have enough poetics to buy the shire katana? Won't need the kinna weapon in that case.

ndub posted:the thing with CU is that it breaks if you turn your character with right click, and it waits until the next server tick to apply it's regen. you have to pop it, hands off the game, (generally on top of the person you want to put the regen on) and wait up to 3 sec. it's a free, strong regen but you definitely have to plan ahead a little to use it right. same deal for anybody running in late, they won't get the regen until the next tick I've noticed the right-click turn thing with CU. This is new and super annoying, but the other stuff is old news. Asp Bene was way too good when it was dirt cheap so I don't mind the change. Just took me by surprise.

Playing an AST loses a lot of the dramatic tension in cut scenes, when I threateningly pull out my astroglobe. And then I sparkle the target to death like I'm Jubilee.

Cool Bear posted:So this idea that the Garleans attacked Eorzea because of the powerful primals, did I make that up, did I dream it? Maybe it was just one particular Count, like von Baelsar, who I heard in the main story, I heard, or I dreamt, I heard that they attacked with extra force *because* they were worried about too many primals. You made it up. Primals weren't being summoned until the Empire attacked and Midgardsomr dunked their flagship into silvertear lake. Baelsar hates primals, but the rest of the empire doesn't seem too interested in eliminating them, and in some cases are researching how to control or harness them. The Garlean who summoned meteor was researching it and got semi-tempered by Bahamut to bring it down and ruin everyone. That this happened slightly after their initial assault doesn't depend much on the existence of the beast tribe primals.

Ciaphas posted:My god these DPS queues loving suck. Makes me want to take up DRK from 60 even though I'm scared of tanking because of the whole DPS meta thing, not even bother with doing roulettes on my 70 RDM. There's nothing wrong with staying in grit and going a moderate pace if you're doing 4-mans. Hell, even pubbing 24-man or 8-man ex trials I was more than happy to sit in defensive stance because I didn't know if I could count on my healers. Don't let the meta actually influence what you're doing unless you're in a progression static.

Final Trial mechanic question. How does his Akh Morn attack work? You definitely don't stack it like the rest of the time. It looks like it targets a tank and tethers a single person to them. Do they stack it? Do they both take damage?

Mr. Nice! posted:Final dungeon is a part of the ex roulette and is a routine 4 man dungeon. It's also a rad as gently caress dungeon, with a ton of nice details if you look around while grinding your ex roulettes. There are a ton of GC NPCs running around fighting, with speech bubbles. One guy tells you to attack the scorpion robot while his tail his up (final fantasy 7). Raubahn and Pippin are fighting together just inside the castle. Hien and some ninjas are fighting another group just outside the throne room. Probably a bunch more but I haven't looked too hard yet.

Looking cool is its own reward. I think every movement ability works that way. Your character's hitbox is exactly where you cast the spell until the instant you land, and then your hitbox is there. Elusive jump is still a good skill, but you can't pull the clutch 1/4 s dodge with it.
