i hope in DT they've randomly changed every single dye's color by 1-5 in each channel

i should note that dyes in XIV are controlled by a client file called "stainingtemplate" (dyes are stains internally) and the benchmark has a new file called "stainingtemplate_gud" and i'd guess gud means graphics update

haven't really done a comparison between them yet

I agree, but replace dyes with fishing baits. Replace one or two whole pages of inventory with fishing-bait slots only.

Zone into Bardam's Mettle, do the first big pull, reach for one of my mitigation buttons, and it isn't there -- my instincts were that I was still on my Paladin, not Gunbreaker.

I have never panic-slammed Superbolide so quickly, give me time to remember what job I'm actually playing.

This is why all my tanks have their mitigation on the same buttons, everything is roughly analogous even beyond the role abilities.

It's not too bad for my fav blue dyes as I just need like 3 main colors white, black, and like dark blue colors.

The roughest time was just me working in Ishgard Firmament and I worked all crafting back to back for several days and I had so many extra mats which I sold.

My saddlebag is full of dyes. I hoard the ones that I use often (such as mole brown), any that are inconvenient to get (like from tribe vendors), and the materials used for crafted dyes. I don't have room for anything else in there, but it's relatively convenient and it keeps the dyes from taking over my regular inventory.

I think it defaults to gladiator when you make a brand new character from scratch, though the bots tend to be archers. They're all Lalafell on my server these days. I assume it's the same elsewhere.

I stopped seeing bots on my server and found out that they’re all underground somehow now. Just piles of identical hyur and lala mole people shouting about rmt and farming where they can’t be seen or targeted.

I actually ran into some wild underground bots when I was doing a low-level quest on an alt once. They were killing coeurls out by the waterfall in Upper La Noscea. It was kind of surreal to watch. The ones I usually see tend to be at the Adders' Nest. They pop up long enough to turn stuff in before flitting back off the screen. Just a dozen little guys named Xcbfsd Zevdfdwdtw or whatever.

Yeah, I ran into some underground bots while taking my Dynamis alt through the MSQ; they were triggering spawns of MSQ-linked mobs while not being visible on the map, so it was a weird moment of "why are all these chigoes spawning and getting killed?" It was only a bit later, when they hit some point where they had to go visible, that I saw the pack of lalas and put 2 and 2 together.

I just had an amazing comeback as well. Went from 100/400/500 to a bit of a mess where they'd get high-score nodes and kill each other over them while we snuck the triangles, ending with blue at 675 but no nodes struggling to win some points while we slipped in ahead of them.

One of those fights where you decide "whelp, if one of them can keep momentum going we've lost so just claim victory over every inch and try to play a game you can feel happy about." Numerous times where I'd be unable to defend a node but stalled long enough for backup to arrive, or tag someone coming up the bridge hard enough that they jumped off to recover not knowing I was the only one up there.

I've had Seal Rock matches where my team was in third place for most of it and ended up winning, undeservedly, because the other two teams over focused on each other combined with lucky node placement. It's always been entirely possible to come from behind, it just usually needs the other two teams to get complacent and for your team to not be full of dummies.

And for complete loving dumb luck to win out.

I hate Seal Rock so much, because for someone who wants to feel like they contributed to a win, even most of the wins feel bullshit.
