they're still fates so if you do one in a zone that drops medals, you can do them to earn more medals

The tools of a hero mean nothing without a solid core.

Dalradia question: I was in a run today where someone was calling out four letters for the lasers, like LR LL. I'm pretty sure I've only ever seen two letters for callouts, but when asking about it everybody acted like it was totally normal without actually saying what the extra two letters were for. Have I just had some aphasia moment where I've forgotten how many letters the callout has had this entire time?

EDIT: looking at my log it was LL RR, RL RR, RL LL and RL LL

This is an ideal time to get the ARR achievement fates nobody really does anymore. I was just in a farming group that did the South Shroud one in like three minutes flat

Hoping I can maybe get my last couple of Stormblood ones crossed off the list myself, maybe Darkscale too

It's the dual laser corridor, right? and they have 4 lasers each, so the person at the console reads both out at once like that. I think. it's been a hot second and it wasn't explained well. :v:

I have three large problems in the Dalridia Corridor thing:

1) does "RL" mean "Right Corridor, Left Side", or "Right Side of the Left Corridor"?
2) are they telling me the safe zone or the danger zone?
3) sometimes players use /yell instead of /shout and yell does not reach the end of the corridors

I have never managed to do the corridors without dying.

I got my Hori F14 TacCom today. Any thoughts on good ways to set it up? The one annoyance I have is that on this model the joystick is upright so it's kinda hard to use in a totally natural way - it would be better if you could angle it tbh. But otherwise it seems cool and I'm interested to get to grips with it, seems like it has a lot of potential.

There's 2 lasers on each side, one of which fires each time. Usually someone will just call out "RL" to mean the right side of the right hall and the left side of the left hall are safe.

It's a nice plate set at least with parts that can be used without being discordant.

It took a whole 5 minutes of fate farming in Central Shroud before some guy started screaming about how Blue Mages are ruining the event for everyone.

Heeeeeey


Blue mages do ruin Fate farming though with the way they monopolize spawns so nobody else can even get credit. I wouldn't mind BLU if it weren't for the fact that unless I'm really fast on the draw I can't even get bronze credit when they're around.

The astrologian globe is so stupid I'm almost tempted to start using it

On the plus side, all of these weapons can go in the armoire, so that's where they're going to live until I decide it's time to make Gold Plastic Snake AST a reality

Even as a tank, when you're synced down to a level where you don't have a ranged attack, it can still be hard to get gold credit if one or more BLU are killing everything from range before you have a chance to get close enough to get in a single hit. Especially when the mobs spawn outside of the fate level sync zone, far enough that you can't hit them with melee but they can hit them with ranged attacks.

Enough of this nonsense. You are an important mayor and this absurd contraption has wasted enough of your time.
Clearly you should take this time to level blue mage and get skills. When you finish that, most of the rush will be gone and you can cheese the fates yourself.

It's OK :shobon:

I did the event the very first time it arrived so I have the BLM and DRK weps and they kinda just exist in my armoire. I know most sensible players will wait for 2-3 weeks so it's less chaotic but I just think I would rather do leveling on WAR than fates.

I wish I had your luck. On my world, every fate had devolved into a BLU race to nuke everything first. Even in a party I was still frequently not getting credit and I just gave up. RNG already makes me want to uninstall when I encounter it, let alone racing to even activate the gamba. Fuckin even Eureka is better than this.
