cathead posted:In order to address the issue wherein beating “The Pool of Tribute” results in an error being displayed when returning from the content and causing players to be unable to log in again, we will be performing emergency maintenance on "The Ruby Sea" on all Worlds at the time below, during which the area will be unavailable. I know it's important they fix everything, and this is obviously the easier fix, but there's something kind of insulting about them prioritizing this while most of the population can't even make it to that content.

Its a cool moment though so imo its not worth picking it to death either I prefer to think that the WoL left that dangling on purpose, in the hopes for a savage mode rematch. Zenos was totally right about us, seriously.

Soloing on RDM at 70 is an absolute pleasure. I was maining machinist last expansion and couldn't really get into it, but I'm finding now that Odin, all of the level 50 hard trials (and probably at least some of the extremes, too, once I get mechanics down pat; garuda looked eminently doable) and I thiiiink all of the HW 4-man content has been a real blast and is showering me in glamour gear I never got around to before. Don't know how this was done before, but vercure puts a lot of things in reach I have to figure weren't practical before.

Givin posted:PVP exp is 12% of your level for a win, 10% for 2nd 8% for 3rd looks like. This absolutely blows and is a really wrongheaded approach. Disappointed, but not really surprised-- they're probably going to continue in this vein until PVP gets back to its HW levels of irrelevance.

Freak Futanari posted:I actually played a lot of Frontlines in Heavensward, and while it wasn't possible to win every single match there either, there were a LOT less people who treated it as Get Experience For Alt-Tabbing Out To Watch Netflix. Making PVP straight up the best levelling option for DPS players, while also giving the same reward if you win or lose, was a great recipe for really messing up Frontlines, since suddenly there were a lot less people bothering to play healers (because everyone wants to level their DPS), while also offering no incentive whatsoever to even participate beyond joining the match and then idling. Having rewards decided by individual effort would make a lot more sense to fulfilling that stated goal, is more my feeling, and a change I wouldn't have a problem with. I don't really like nerfs that hit things out of my control.

The bad trial roulette situation is pretty rare, and losing in rando PVP groups happens about 2/3rds of the time? These aren't equivalent situations.

I mostly just fish for and bank aoe cards for rr and balance for spread, then drop them on the party when I get them.

Mordiceius posted:Zenos didn't conquer Doma. Van Baelsar did, right? Zeno was just the replacement after we killed Van Baelsar. Correct, though Zenos did put down their last attempt at rebellion pretty brutally. Ultimately I think that's a big part of why he acts like he does; none of the territory he's stewarding is from his own conquests, and neither the previous emperor nor the current one will let him push outward and take new ground, so he wants to draw the WoL in for a fight with real stakes.

Darkside has 100% uptime regardless, it's mostly a question of whether you're in grit or not, as grit has a -% to dps.

Honestly, I think the sympathetic faction in Garlemald is going to have to be the non-military populace. Outside of the Royal family itself, even the highest-ranked civilian authority is lower-class than basically any army officer. if Asahi is any indication, the Populares faction is dominated by the military too. The only Garleans we've met who are decent people have been outside the military structure, like that theatre troupe in the Ivalice quests.

Azubah posted:Didn't the end cut-scene of the Ivalice raid say that Garlean tech was probably based on the clockwork tower tech? To me, I think it actually suggests that the Gougans eventually became the Garleans after abandoning Ridorana, which is kinda neat. Their whole backstory is about not being able to use magic and getting pushed around and onto worse and worse land by bigger countries for centuries.

FactsAreUseless posted:It was never this bad when I was on Mateus, but most of the people on there are terrible and lazy so why would you RP with them? Public space RP is universally terrible on any MMO, to be honest, though the ERP gets overstated. Most people who are serious about it on Mateus (and there's a pretty good community here, honest!) are in dedicated FCs, you aren't going to find them in the Quicksand.

The Trust system looks awesome, and I can't wait to see who they add to it as time goes on. Estinien for sure, right? I also kind of want them to add Tataru, for some kind of challenge mode where you get extra dungeon rewards if you can carry her mechanics-failing rear end through to the end alive.

Krabboss posted:Healers who don't DPS just aren't doing anything. Most of their time in a dungeon is spent doing nothing, or overhealing. It's relaxing because you're literally just not playing the game. And you'll still be expected to DPS in dungeons even with these changes. Scholar has a 150 potency aoe spell that should basically be spammed during trash pulls. This is a real uncharitable read of what looks more to me like "Scholar had a whole loving lot of buttons, which could be stressful to juggle while healing."

It isn't popular on the official forums either, or Reddit, or anywhere. it may shock you to learn the majority of players aren't posting on any forums about their thoughts. Also all these sources tend to skew more negative, because there's more incentive/desire to sound off when you want to make a complaint. This authoritative schtick you've got going is getting old.

Honestly the biggest problem with Eureka is that being minimum level in a zone feels loving awful, and you do it four times over the course of the quests. I genuinely enjoy Eureka when I'm at or near the zone cap, it's fun.

For what it's worth, I don't really get anything out of public scene stuff like goes on over at the Quicksand. I usually hate RP in MMOs, but the housing stuff here is rich enough and in-depth enough that we were able to set up a pretty detailed group and run RP around a strong concept that way. We do a little bit of public facing stuff, mostly for recruitment, but the "good" RP mostly happens behind closed doors in small group settings. I look at it more like a tabletop game.
