Dr Pepper posted:As a WHM Main I'm mostly annoyed that its new mechanics are just dumb and boring and I will literally have no difference between playing White Mage at 70 than I did at 60. This is about as bad as it gets for classes in SB, which is not so bad? Ninja is mostly the same but with a couple new toys and a little simplification. I think Astrologians were complaining? I don't play AST so I didn't really pay much mind to it. But overall seems like a pretty good place, at worst your class is the same, at best its got some significant depth added.

Anybody got any idea what the zone order is gonna be like? I pretty much wanna check out Doma asap. All the Doma zones look beautiful, while the Ala Mhigo ones seem okay, but more like stuff we've seen already in 2.0. I'm sure there'll be some cool surprises, but I really wanna check out Kugane, Ruby Sea, Yanxia and Azim Steppe. I'm worried we're gonna do all the Ala Mhigo stuff first and I won't see that stuff till 65. But then again, I think the first dungeon they showed off was in Ruby Sea? So by that logic we'd be going to Doma first off, and then Ala Mhigo later. Or maybe they'll send us back and forth and mix it up? Also wonder how far into the game we unlock swimming, and whether we can use mounts underwater straight off or I assume we'll have to do flying attunement first or even swimming attunement... Azim Steppe really looks awesome, some really cool Mongolia / Tibet / China vibes going on there, contrasting the Japanese style of Kugane. Terraced farming!

So you can have a bigger bad, and kill the big bad (Zenos yae Galvus) this expansion and then tease the bigger bad for next.

I'm in Kugane and I'm swimming in the Ruby Sea and everything is beautiful, Stormblood rules now that its working  Jimbot posted:I want Square to sort the Samurai combos for PvE in the way they do it for PvP. It's utterly perfect how well they have their stuff sorted out. There's literally no reason to ever use the combo skills by themselves, so packaging them with the skill that combos into them is just fantastic. I'm not sure why they just didn't design it that way to begin with. It cuts down on the skillbar clutter lots! That makes it way too simple. If you want a class that is simpler to play than Samurai, don't demand that they make Samurai simpler for everybody. Just try a different dps class PvP has very different timing so things have to be simplified for pvp, but samurai as it is for pve is cool and good. I guess if you're on controller maybe its an issue? Couldn't you do it as like a macro or something? I guess macros aren't smart enough. Well, I guess if they gave you the option to do that, it wouldn't hurt things too much. But I'd feel disappointed if they made it play that way in pve. It'd be too boring.

Do you not have a poo poo-load of poetics?! There's several great katanas that are super easy to get, dude. Go to Idyllshire. Have you ever done pvp?! Thats even more easy to get amazing looking katanas. There's also the loving brilliant gold saucer katana, but that does cost 100k MGP. I'm super jealous of all the amazing katanas that SAM get, as a NIN half my daggers are really wonky looking. (But I've got a few I love, like the artifact weapons)

NIN barely got changed, but the changes were all 100% goodness. Paladin is supposed to be more fun now than it was before. Bard seems like its in a good place? Can't speak to the others. Note Block posted:Trying to decide which job to use a Tales of Adventure on: PLD, DRK, DRG, NIN, MCH, or BLM. Tough call. DRK and MCH start at 30, but leveling from 30 to 60/70 is still a pretty long grind. All those classes are good.  Have you played them all in POTD to see how they actually feel to play yourself at higher level? Testing the classes at level 5 with no abilities doesn't really tell you anything.Pick whichever you think has the coolest armor and weapons or whichever is the most fun to play. Use POTD to test out playing the classes at higher level without having to level up all the way.

Galaga Galaxian posted:It took a lot of work and gathering a small arsenal of gear, but back when I played FFXI 12 or so years ago, RDM (usually with /NIN subjob) was one of the few classes that could solo things. They patched the summons after not too long at all so that there were two versions of the fight; a party version and a solo version. The solo version was scaled to be do-able solo, but since you had to be a SMN and you had to do them to get the summon themselves, pulling it off with just carbuncle required a RIDICULOUS amount of kiting the boss back and forth on the boss arena. (which was a huge long strip, which facilitated you kiting them back and forth and back and forth) Once you had one of the better summons it wasn't too hard to solo the rest of them. But yeah, at launch summoners had it REALLY rough, and then it only got slightly easier. But in return, SMN in XI was loving amazing. You'd have Fenrir or Ifrit chiling with you 24/7. I just can't bring myself to play SMN in XIV when all you get is the tiny little egi dudes. Weak!

Any full 8man party? Even if its open world? How do you do gpose stuff like limit breaks? Do you just type /gpose right AS you're using the spell or LB or whatever in order to pause it and take a screenshot? That seems wonky. I figured you'd be able to trigger different animations in /gpose but I can't find a way to do that. Its just lighting and camera movement.... I tried looking up some tutorials but nobody explains poo poo. How does this work? Thanks. a crisp refreshing Moxie posted:Was it though? When I played you were basically a glorified white mage with some cool group buffs that you would summon an avatar for, have them cast, and then unsummon to minimize the MP cost. Accurate to the single player games, sure, but hardly great gameplay. IDK I never mained SMN hardcore and that was all a lifetime ago so its hard to remember... but I seem to remember summons chilling out and doing damage the whole time at least some point in the game's lifecycle.

Eopia posted:Upgraded shire gear is obsolete by level 64, and is showing its age by the 65 dungeon especially with the extreme defense bloat we're seeing. By the time you get tomestone gear it has literally over double the defense stats as upgraded shire. May as well get it anyway so you can replace it by running the level 65 dungeon though. Nah upgraded shire gear isn't obsolete until 67. That's totally wrong. Its ilevel 670. Maybe if you get lucky dungeon drops at 65, yeah, but its not "obsolete" until 67 really.

I could be crazy but they are different characters aren't they? Wasn't the implication that Yda died after ARR and was replaced by Lyse-Yda late in HW, who revealed herself to be Lyse at the end and is now hardcore Lyse in SB. Or is it that she was really Lyse-Yda all along and we never knew Yda? I wasn't super clear on that, but it seemed like the former. E: Nope, it was Lyse all along. That's silly. They could have solved the whole thing by just saying Yda didn't die until after ARR. Because yeah, they're really treated as two different people.

I don't wanna tell you how to play but.... please stop grinding and enjoy Stormblood already  The story is really good and way better than doing 1000 runs of POTD or pvp againI used to have alt-itis in old MMOs and I really regretted constantly hopping classes and not seeing endgame while everybody else was enjoying the content. You can always level alts later. You can level the MSQ later too, but... do it now while its hot and everybody's into it and running it nonstop In past MMOs I regretted it and I try to make myself stick to something now as a result.

Harrow posted:It's more that I'm trying to finish the 3.x stuff so I can finally start Stormblood and I don't really want to spend a few hours queuing for 50/60 dungeons to finish the quests. I only really wanted to unlock them for when I do the 50/60 roulette. Guess I'll just pause the MSQ for a while and do them so the quests stop bugging me. 50/60 dungeons should all be required for MSQ, so the only thing you're talking about is like hard modes for old dungeons which nobody does anymore anyways so just drop those quests and move on with your life. You do not need to do anything other than MSQ to unlock the 50/60 dungeon queue. Get to SB already please, Harrow.

Just enjoy it, don't agonize over small stuff. You're going to burn yourself out with that approach Uh, MSQs have level requirements. If you have 3 classes at 60 and you swap between them as you go through SB, you're going to hit a level requirement wall pretty drat fast because you'll be splitting that XP between those 3 classes, and then have to grind dungeons on that class to progress. Then if you swap classes again... you're right back there. Like you can but... not really. Mordiceius posted:Lord Hien is a Varian Wrynn that doesn't suck rear end.

homeless snail posted:Hard modes are definitely in roulettes, why wouldn't they be? Like I just said, ex primals aren't in the trials roulette, right? I just figured. Also haven't seen one pop but I haven't done but two of the 50/60 roulettes so far since the queues are so long for dps. And past roulettes required you to do everything to unlock them first, right? Maybe I'm crazy but I thought I remembered having to do all kinds of stuff to be able to do them first. I figured I had everything since I could already do it, although now that I think about it there's 59-60 dungeons I haven't done yet since I'm still 58 so the 50/60 wouldn't be available if it really worked that way.

Kalenn Istarion posted:Ex primals are fun tho and you can smash most of the old ones pretty good with an unsynced party Yep and I did that just the other day with some chill goons. No loving drops though  Harrow posted:You don't have to unlock everything to unlock the roulette itself, but you do have to unlock a dungeon for it to appear in the roulette. Basically, unlocking more dungeons just gives you more variety when you do the 50/60 roulette. That's why I was running around picking up the dungeon unlock quests, so that when I do the roulette there are more than a handful of dungeons I can get. I just didn't really know what the best option was once I got to the point where the dungeon is unlocked and I have to do it to complete the quest, especially with DPS queues meaning queuing for each one would take like a half hour each just to get in. With the 50/60 yes, I get that. But I was saying before it was different. When did they add the 50/60 roulette? I feel like that wasn't even a thing when I unsubbed, there was some other roulette that you had to do everything for. But maybe I'm mis-remembering. But yes, I know. And I know the queues are long. I get it. That's all obvious and tangential to what I was saying before. Zaphod42 fucked around with this message at 21:06 on Jun 25, 2017 |
