I'm having weird glitchy issues with the client more than anything else.

I think my GPU drivers could be a little old so I'll update those and hope that's it.

What's the situation if I have PS4 ARR but not HW but want to (have to :/) use PS4 to play Stormblood at the moment?

If I pre-order it, is it going to get me the Heavensward rights now or am I basically just hosed?

You get HW right away. I'm in the same position on PC and you get HW on early access along with SB.

Right so I should just buy PS4 SB then.
I am the saltiest right now god drat setting up on PS4 is going to be years of effort..

Red Mage is extremely cool but POTD'ing it is essentially impossible right now thanks to disconnects.

Fate'ing might be viable but generally speaking this sure is an MMO launch.

Creating a throttle is probably a good idea but this is not the first time an instance or battle has caused a huge issue so having one right at the beginning was just foolish. They should have learned by now.


But as I'm in no rush to get the story done and get to 70 asap, I'm not super fussed.

I'm essentially locked in a kill zone. Was in POTD to see if it's working now (no, it kicked me instantly) and now when I log in, I get kicked again so I can't get out of POTD to not do POTD.

Exactly the same except you don't have touch of death dot anymore and the charging chakra sound is worse than the original sound it had when it first got put in the game.

Also dragon kick's debuff icon blends in too much with all the other debuffs now so it can be easy to miss if it drops off.

The charging sound is the same but the noise when capping Chakra is revolting

Level 60 Red Mage took all day and Palace of the Dead sucks a lot but now I have to decide what I should play primarily between RDM, MNK and WHM. I'm maybe leaning RDM but I'm not totally sure. I kind of want to stay loyal to my old main from day one, WHM though I've not really tried it in SB at all yet to see how things are now.

spamming floor 50-60 of POTD is the fastest way to level, right? or does it not matter which floors I do

Yeah, because it tends to have small rooms with easy set ups and you'll be out in like 15 minutes. People at the moment are running straight to the teleporter when the next floor is unlocked too instead of loving around.

Made the mistake of trying to learn my level 60 Red Mage skill.
Now I'm getting 500 person queues that immediately 90k me into 500 person queues.

Just spit me into the game world instead, I'll do something else.
Maybe they'll finally learn about not making these instanced single player fights come 5.0.

First dungeon is alright.


Would have liked it more if it wasn't all Bard drops for the bard we didn't have and the mandatory DRG drop (for the DRG we didn't have)

And RDM is really, really good.

Samurai is also good, though I'm not gonna play it at length.

Feels like to me they were just in a real groove when making the jobs in Stormblood where they just kinda weren't for Heavensward.

Dear Caster DPS (aka Red Mages) who don't give me Mana Shift after I pointedly tell them to give me Mana Shift when I'm at 20% MP 'cos I've spammed the poo poo out of Holy in your level 50 dungeon that I'm graciously healing

Had a DRG cry at me in Dun Scaith earlier because I used Red Mage LB3 on Diabolos Hollow once he'd cast his commit suicide move.

It's like the only time I'll ever get to see it and not have it be a total useless waste.

It's also cool as fuuuuck.

The second dungeon is neat. Name: Shisui. I'm not sure if it's for my taste but the Caster set from there is decidedly not casterish by this game's standards.

Alright guys, Stormblood hasn't even been out a week and people are already trying to name and shame new players who use Jump Potions. My advice to you? Don't. Give people a chance for god's sake. I get that some people are going to be new and or bad, it's just how the patch cycle goes. Do we really need to start this trend when Stormblood hasn't even been out for a full official week? I think not.

We're a community praised for our generosity and overall welcoming feel. Let's not ruin it. If you suspect someone used a Jump Potion and you're not on board with playing with them, then kindly leave the party, don't bring it to the subreddit in hopes of farming up karma and inflating you're own ego because you think it's okay to do so. It's not. We're better than this guys. C'mon.

my favourite thing was the title "we're better than this"

Got a honest healer a little while back who refused to cast his attacks, except to pull trash the tank didn't want to which is just bad at being a healer and being bad at being a honest healer

Skipping trash is dishonest to the content.

It was trash that was going to get pulled, it's in the way so you can't skip it. Pulling it before your tank is very dishonest.

Did Susano EX with some pubs and there were two other red mages in the party and yet I was still the only person who ever used addle, mana shift, or revive.

And still managed to pull 3200 dps. How are people this incompetent, part of why I love RDM is I can do all this utility poo poo without missing a beat at all damage wise.

I did Bardum's 'cos I'm only level 67 with another Red Mage and he never once used Scatter spam for AOE or Enhanced Moulinet and he still won the god-drat sword drop argh
Ban all bads


~level 67 Story stuff: It's all well and good sending important files via snail mail from Ala Mhigo to Kugane but why didn't they just ask me, the teleporting Warrior of Light, to pick it up and deliver it within 5 minutes?

Tanks who think they can still cross their tank stance off after getting an aggro lead are cute. Even in level 60 synced content, they're dropping aggro like it's hot thanks to E.Moulinet.

Zenos is alright, other than having a toddler's face.

Thordan was barely in the game unless you count Nidhogg as the baddy of HW and then he sucked.

Red Mage has a big issue. Verholy looks way cooler than Verflare, it makes me not want to use Verflare.

gonna message yoship and tell him to give RDM the deathflare animation and make the other casters utterly pointless

As cool as it is to see 900 new quests appear as soon as you get to a quest hub because it gives the impression there's a poo poo tonne of content, I'd much rather they just have a smaller amount that give more EXP each.

100k exp for each sidequest (~lvl62) is kinda pitiful.

It takes a least 5 minutes to do most side quests so you should be killing people in Shatter instead for 4-6x XP gains.

If by killing people, you mean getting zoned and just wishing that the two winning teams would give up and just let the inevitable front runners win, yeah.

PVP's still awful, just less so.



The important thing about Manafication is that if you're burning your mana on E.Moulinet, you can throw it out around 40/40 to get an extra couple of spin in which is very fun.
