Kuai posted:I'm having problems with my sound. It seems like im missing a ton of sound effects during battle. I only noticed this when I hit 60 on Sam and moved to doing the SB questline. Am I crazy? Earlier today something happened that caused my music to stop playing. I fixed it by shutting down the client and logging back in. Maybe try the same thing (when there aren't 700+ people in the login queue)?

The best part of the expansion is the level 70 red mage quest telling you no less than three times about how much of a good idea it would be to pack a few antidotes. Also not sure if it was answered, but re: Verflare/Verholy - if you even begin to cast a different spell when the procs are up, it won't let you cast flare/holy even if you interrupt your cast.

Has anyone else had their hotbars completely reset? I logged in today after having them be perfectly fine yesterday to see this on a handful of my jobs. Doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason - it struck my RDM main that I didn't notice until I was in a Susano instance, as well as my 70 DRK, and also hit my NIN and MCH, which I haven't played since the expansion dropped. Only thing I can think of is that I made a new character on a different server last night, but I don't get how that'd affect some of my jobs and not others.

Fister Roboto posted:I think there's a difference between the references in the past and Omega, which is just straight copies from FF5. Like it's not even part of the world of FF14, Omega literally comes from another dimension. Compare that to the Crystal Tower series, which made the FF3 story a part of the history of Eorzea. It's just "hey here are some bosses from FF5". God I spent the majority of this morning trying to sort out my feelings about Omega, and I think this hits it pretty well. I love FFV, and initially seeing a handful of bosses in-game was a nice surprise, but I think the magic wore off really quickly. I hadn't thought about how it's separate physically from the rest of the world, but that's exactly it. Why should I care about the Dimensional Castle? It's a cool visual reference, but it has no presence in Eorzea like CT did. Also there's just something a bit disappointing about not being surprised by boss designs. After V2.0 confirmed that all the bosses would be from FFV the only real surprise for me was that the V4.0 boss appears now when I expected it down the line.

Kalenn Istarion posted:Don't they explicitly write the fights for savage and then destine them by removing stuff for normal? It's helpful to remember that Exdeath in V4.0 bites it in the exact same manner that he does in FFV: getting consumed by the void, only to be transformed (?) into Neo Exdeath. I'm kinda hoping it's not an additional phase, but an additional Savage tier. Either that or they reduce the HP Exdeath has, cause the fight is already pretty long.

Pro tactics are passing everything but the thing you want and letting the dudes who roll on everything get their weekly first. Less competition for the thing you actually want. e: also if everything but the thing you want drops to the floor you know you're in for a fight.

I think the normal mode token system sucks but it confounds me that between three free companies of goons, six to eight people are having trouble getting together and saying "hey a couple of nights this week lets run Omega for an hour and try to get everyone tokens".

EponymousMrYar posted:Running all 4 raids to get 8 people the tokens they want is really freakin' exhausting. My personal pro-strat is 'need on whatever I want, make no bones about if I get something or not. unless it's a chain/bolt, those are the most translatable tokens GDI why didn't I get a chain or bolt that run.' I don't think you need to do them all at once, or even as a full group - even rolling in as a stack of six means you have a much higher chance of getting what you want than going in by yourself. Like it doesn't even have to be a set, static time. It's just weird to me that there's such a large pool of people on excal allegedly willing to help yet I see people in this thread complaining about solo queuing multiple times and coming out empty handed.

Hobgoblin2099 posted:
Honestly, if your #1 goal is to get to 60+ as fast as possible, then you should buy a One Hero's Journey from the Final Fantasy XIV Mogstation Web Store. But DPS queues aren't nearly as bad as they were during Stormblood launch (where I saw a lot of suggestions to do 50-60 in PotD), and if you're queuing for leveling roulette you can plug out your ninja turtle dailies during the wait time, so I wouldn't recommend buying if you've got the time. Also I've gotten nothing but dungeons under level 40 for the past week in leveling roulette so you can technically be 60 but never get a chance to use the good stuff anyway. I bought a PLD boost for my alt on Excal but that was just so I could unlock Red Mage sooner.

Josuke Higashikata posted:Red Mage feels pretty feature complete in low level dungeons because you have Scatter and Veraero/thunder. Everything should have at least that level of functionality at low level. Partially true but if you get Totorak as red mage you end up in the hellish situation where you've got Verfire but not Verstone.

Rosalind posted:While the conversation is on this topic, I'm a fairly new tank and to the game (just hit 65 on paladin which is my first class after starting about 2 months ago). When do I do big pulls and when do I do single group pulls? It never seems like I can do it right. I try to pull multiple groups but then the ranged DPS start attacking the first group so I have to run back because they steal enmity. Or I pull a single group and a DPS writes, "zzz pull more." Or I pull 2 groups and the healer lets me die, even if I pop all my defensive cooldowns. Or I pull one group only and a DPS decides to pull a second group for me and just train it back to me. It just feels like whatever choice I make it's the wrong choice. You can throw out some tomahawks/shield lobs/dark.... orbs.... while you're running to the next pack. My rule of thumb when running with randos is to pull two groups, and if for whatever reason the healer can't keep up I'll slow it down.

I could see myself being baited into running a longer MSQ roulette with a chunky enough exp/item (matter?) bribe. Especially once I finish off my tanks and healers. But I do think they should change it to a solo instance. Maybe even one you could bring other people into if you were in a party, but one that could still be completed by yourself with NPC friendos tagging along.

I spent something like four? hours in Eureka yesterday spread throughout the day. It's okay, I guess. If you're only interested in the lore you can wait until your one friend leveling in Eureka is 20 and have them carry you up, since while exp is split between party members you get exp relative to the level of the monster you're fighting. I also tagged a couple of NMs, and got a bunch of fireworks and materia from lockboxes. I think it'd be a good place to introduce battlecraft levequests, especially since I've let my leves cap out after getting all my crafters to 70. Having stuff for gatherers to grab would also be cool, since we're not in Diadem's hellscape of true sound mobs hovering over mining points. E: oh yeah my hands also started hurting by the time I ran my 2nd exp party. That's bad, they should do something about that. Vitamean fucked around with this message at 18:33 on Mar 14, 2018 |

If you wanna jump on the NM train switch to healer or RDM and don't drop your power level in shout chat. Nine times out of ten if I just said "RDM lfg" in shout I'd get an invite, even at low levels. No fuss, no muss. Pazuzu could disintegrate you with a funny look and people would still appreciate just having you there as a raise bot.

Rainuwastaken posted:Yeah, Pazuzu can do that to just about anybody from 1 - 17 so I don't really care what level you are. I roll around Eureka as a tank specifically so that I can guarantee a gold out of things, so it doesn't much matter if my party is full of level 20 badasses or level 2 wee babs. Assuming you can get into a party (I've not seen people be super picky but that could just be my experience), I have no idea why you'd ever grind mobs instead of just sticking with the train. Hell, one time when I was with friends between 3 ~ 6 we saw that the train was working on Hazmat, but couldn't easily make it up there. Instead we tried spawning Lord of Anemos to bait them out of there and then ride the train back up. Some other group spawned Teles first but the train came down anyway and Lord popped right after so it works!!

Sometimes they come up early, unless it's a housing patch, in which case they'll keep it on schedule for fairiness. I wouldn't bet on it, but I get up an hour before maintenance is scheduled to end, just in case.
