The way I see it, there are two valid uses for Tsubamegaeshi: 2sen and 3sen, because no potency off any of those will go to waste. Maybe you can Tsubamegaeshi a Higabana if you hosed up and don't have the kenki to Kaiten it, or something, but even that feels like something you'd really need to screw up to have to fall back on.

High Steel Uchigatana, though when I was levelling, I used the upgraded Shiva katana because Yukikaze felt like it needed justification.

Oh, never mind, Elf was just holding the sword at an angle and it looked weird. Like it was shorter than the usual standard samurai sword.

I thought SE had snuck in a broken katana model and I totally didn't know.

You may also be able to bypass farming if you're Flames, the Flame Captain's Samurai Blade is also the same model. It's a newer addition and was not there when I last looked, but, of course, requires you to be Flames and capped your Squadron poo poo, I think.

also is there any reason i shouldn't buy the ff14 complete edition on steam? it has the base game and stormblood

Bless you for asking before pulling the trigger.

You're locked into buying all your future expansions through Steam, and can never take advantage of the steeply ramping discounts that happen shortly before and after an expansion launch.

Furthermore, it has been indicated by the devs in the future (and through datamined login strings) that current Steam-purchased copies of the game will be forced to log in to Steam in order to fire up the launcher to punch in your password and authenticator code.

They always release a patch or a new game every time someone else does the same. This is not new behaviour for them. They knew what they were worth, and that they were the only game in town.

That said, unfortunately for Blizzard, they are not the end-all be-all of games anymore, and this probably hurts them more than it has helped them in the past.

Contrary to a different MMO with player retention problems, FFXIV has no reason to continually pump out expansion after expansion without ever coming to an end.

Combined with murmurs about FFXVI, I fully expect the MMO to finish the story that it has wanted to tell us, and end/move into maintenance mode before the issue of doing stat squishes becomes a necessity.

Obviously they always release patches near FFXIV expansions (you can check major patch dates vs earlier expansions) but its not like they delayed or moved forward the patch for this, its their normal release schedule. Should they just not release game updates?

I mean, if it makes life better for the WoW players by making sure that THEY get a steady stream of content to keep up with the steady stream of content that FFXIV makes? Sure, no skin off our noses. They get a better experience than the year-long content drought of WoD. Unfortunately, I don't think Blizzard realizes that WoW ain't the end-all be-all, where everyone drops whatever other game they were playing to pack back into WoW anymore. (not saying that FFXIV is, I'm saying that I'm seeing a lot of my friends go "meh" when new WoW patches come out, where they would do the thing I just described previously.)

Therefore:

Here's a secret if you need/want a Zantetsuken and have BSM desynth levelled: You're dumb, why did you level BSM desynth. Also, you can desynth the Odin Fountain to get the currency needed to buy a Zantetsuken. Don't ask how I found this out.

I got home and went back to look up my lovely pubbie stories:



I may have one more, I'm still looking through screenshots, but I gotta say, it took me until my second? third? year of playing that I actually came across truly anger-inducing pubs.

I hope that in maneuvering myself to place the SCH following me and their fairy either outside of healing range and/or behind LOS while continuing to do my job, I comported myself in a manner that would make goons proud.

edit: Nope, no more. Actually, considering that I've been playing this game for ... almost six years now, that I've only really had one genuinely bad experience with pubs says a lot about the game, I think.

Been screwing around with being a potato, am debating between holding that long enough to get through the Dwarf area, or going straight to Hrothgar on SHB launch.

If not, it might be back to Roe depending on how sad Hrothgar makes me.

JESUS gently caress, SE, IT IS NOW WEEK-OF. WHERE ARE THE NAMING CONVENTIONS THREADS.

Cabbit posted:

Kind of a hard sell to have a role just for one job and one job only. Queue times would be even worse than they already are.

Queue times would be what they would be regardless.

SE stated in a live letter that they found that people who tended to play tanks continued to play tanks, people who tended to play healers, continued to play healers, and people who tended to play DPS continued to play DPS.

That, however, was in a post-HW live letter, but since they still haven't done one-of-each role again, I assume the conclusions they drew from that experience still hold up.

There's no point doing this, the server availability refreshes at set times. I believe the server status refreshes every 6 hours and I think those times are 8 pm, 2 am, 8 am, and 2 pm. May be wrong on this, but I'm not having any luck digging up the actual times.

Even that is no longer true. The new server status page they put up (found here) updates in relatively close-to realtime now.

It's just that they lowered the "we're full!" cutoffs to try and shape traffic towards the less-populated Crystal.

It sucks, but keep trying, the goon support network WANTS TO HELP.

I loving hate Nier Automata.

There. I said it. Route B's combat singlehandedly ruins the game for me, though it got better once I begrudgingly started using a controller and tapped into all those accumulated hours of Geometry Wars.

But I eventually pushed through and am almost done beating the drat thing not because I'm having fun, but because I'm engaged in the story on its own merits before seeing how they link it to FFXIV.
