Man i finally had to log out today because my router restarted today and now i'm stuck in a 1400 person queue. I'm really glad i didn't log out last week when the queues were 7000 people or whatever if it's this slow.

Dragongem posted:Man I really hope I can at least play in the mornings in my time off next week. Just got some free time and it's a 2k person queue already. If you logged in 3 hours ago the queue was fine. 2 hours ago it was 700. Now it's in the thousands. This is on Leviathan which is the busiest server on Primal afaik, your server may vary.

I don't like this narrative that they have to stop selling the game because it's just so popular, when it's more that their login server is so badly coded that it has to throttle logins and randomly resets your connection every 15 minutes.

Mister Olympus posted:Endwalker is the final and absolute confirmation that they do this based on mainstat first, then role, then armor type. In this sense, you should be counting ranged as 4 with ninja in there, because it's dex mainstat/aiming rightside, not just ranged-as-role. This puts melee (str) at 4, and caster at 3, so it's going to be a caster and one other DPS, because it's likely that the pattern is DPS+cycle, where the cycle goes dps-tank-healer. It sounds like you're trying to make patterns out of a very limited history. What is the conclusive proof that they choose new classes based off their mainstat? If you have to declare that Ninja is a ranged class to fit this theory you probably need to start again.

Mister Olympus posted:Because they've always consistently added to the mainstat with the least representation, even when it meant that roles became overrepresented. The first instance of this before Reaper was Samurai, being the fourth melee added before a third ranged, which wouldn't make sense unless you view it as a third strength job added to balance out three of every other mainstat. Have you considered that they may have added Samurai in Stormblood because it was the expansion about fantasy Japan? They probably just add what they think is cool with some consideration to what they role they haven't added in a while.

Kind of weird that we just killed those guys and then let all the other people in Eulmore off. I don't think they even did anything that bad compared to the citizens throwing their slaves off buildings and stuff. Kill jester, i guess.

Zenos It's bullshit that at some point in the fight there wasn't a cutscene where you both drop your weapons and then pass them back to each other like the end of Cowboy Bebop. They nearly went peak anime and they screwed it up.

When raiding is it better to hit my cooldowns as soon as they come up so they line up with everyone elses or wait until i have my oGCDs and resources to use them in the cooldowns? I tried doing the extremes for the first time, and on Gunbreaker it feels really lovely when my Gnashing Fang combo or Blasting Zone slowly get out of sync with No Mercy due to The GCD cooldown or having downtime on the boss due to dodging a mechanic. It's also ridiculous trying to fit everything in to No Mercy when Bloodfest is off cooldown. I'm not even sure it is possible. Hope you don't need to use a defensive cooldown either because you're constantly animation locked.

RME posted:There’s a few exceptions to hitting stuff asap and things like the GNB ammo combo is one of them, since it’s on the GCD as a cooldown it scales with sks but no mercy is a fixed 60s, you should always hold every other ammo combo for no mercy. Why would i need to hold the Gnashing Fang combo? Its cooldown is 30 seconds so it will ideally line up with No Mercy. The problem is if i ever don't hit Gnashing Fang the instant it doesn't come off cooldown because i'm in the middle of a GCD or i can't get in melee range of the boss, i then have to hold No Mercy for Gnashing Fang.

Endorph posted:it really doesnt mean that and even then why does 'character in an anime' need its own special term instead of just 'character.' Because languages evolve naturally and aren't completely logical or efficient. Anyway i prefer people being attracted to good characters rather than ones which are there purely as fanservice. FF14 is pretty good about that. The only one i can think of who isn't is G'raha, who basically because a self parody in Endwalker. Also, for HW vs SB chat, i think HW had story issues (i think it's insane that there isn't a defense of Ishgard dungeon), but it did a way better job of telling a story that people could connect with emotionally. 3.0 wasn't as character based, and had the problem of Lyse and the disjointed gaps between the two halves. The Stormblood patch story content was all great though and really redeemed it. 2.3 and 2.4 were really good too, but i think every Stormblood patch had stuff that was really engaging.

Mister Olympus posted:warriors of darkness was a pretty big "okay, where is this going? is this just here to find a really elaborate way to put minfilia on a bus?" in the moment, without all of shadowbringers to look forward to The game definitely has a pattern of setting stuff up for the expansion after in the post patches. Yugiri and the Doma stuff is in 2.x, WoD is 3.4, i can't remember if there's anything Endwalker in the 4.x though. I think it's probably around the time that they are writing the story so they can seed some stuff to set it up. I don't believe that they had it all planned out from the start though except in very very broad strokes.

Hogama posted:In a roundabout way you could say that setting up G'raha in 4.5 sets up Crystal Tower as mandatory which sets up a character. There's also the device Nero ditches - at the end it's beeping "IT'S ALL WRONGG" in Morse code (this was most likely meant to lead into the original concept for Eureka, though - if it might line up with anything else it's by happenstance). And they clearly had more plans for Zenos. Yoshida said in an interview that it was originally for Eureka but they changed it to detecting the Crystal Exarch's beacon.

WoL: Hey G'raha what's u- G'raha: When i was a boy i dreamed of travelling the world like the adventurers of legend, to see sights unseen, to truly experience what this wonderous star has to offer. The day i saw you standing there in front of the Crystarium felt like a dream, oh how i longed to go on adventures with you, my inspiration. Promise me that you will take me with you where ever you decide to go after this is all done. I care not where i end up, as long as it is by your side.

Antivehicular posted:I personally would prefer if we could discuss female characters without the conversation inevitably turning to why people are/aren't attracted to them, and under what conditions, and whether or not FF14 has a sufficiently high number of attractive female characters, because it is the worst conversation in the world and it dominates the rest of the goddamn Internet I really don't see that much for this game though. The one thing i have noticed is some people seem to just imprint their own made up personality onto Y'shtola because she's a catgirl. That and people making dominatrix jokes about Yotsuyu but the game is clearly baiting that. I see a lot more husbando talk, probably because there are a lot more male characters who lean into that.

Oxyclean posted:I like G'raha a lot, but he definitely has a bit of a hero worship thing with the WoL that I can see putting people off. Alisae is a teenage girl, she's allowed to fangirl. G'raha is an old man. The sentimental speeches were endearing in 3.0 and 3.3, but after he joined the Scions he kept doing it. I remember he did it in Azys Lla in 3.4 then obviously at the end of zone 6 of EW. We're teammates now, the idolisation thing is weird. I think they don't have anything to do with the character and he just has to hang around. He had one good moment in RAH where he went Exarch mode in the square but the rest of the time he was just tagging along. They should have had bodyswap Zenos give him the Y'shtola treatment from Stormblood and put him in the hospital until the final zone.

I loved MoP Shadow Priest when they added the Devouring Plague orb resource thing, and i'd love a DoT class with that kind of spinning plates gameplay. Do DoTs snapshot in this game? If so i'd assume a large part of it would be to refresh DoTs at the end of the raidwide buff window.

Do people pug savage raids like extremes? Being able to join groups that are at the same point in progression as you with no pressure is way more fun than having to commit to a group and get locked to the instance when they disband after recruiting in broadcast for an hour like in WoW.

 I'm getting the hang of Gunbreaker, finally got to purple. How much of a difference does using food/pots make? Do people use them for farming easy bosses like this? It probably also doesn't help that i'm the designated stand at range guy so i'm wasting a bunch of GCDs on Lightning Shot. When i put the log into that analysis site it's yelling at me for only doing 8 GCDs per No Mercy window. Am i meant to stack skill speed for that? I can't mash the GCD any faster.

WrightOfWay posted:Food and pots are minor, but noticeable. You'll need them if you want to absolutely maximize your parse but you can get high purple without them. I asked around on the balance discord and the problem was that i have 170 ping so i was clipping 0.6s over the duration of the burst window from double weaving. I had to install some program that modifies your animation lock to account for your ping and it works fine now. Seems like a perfectly normal thing to have to do to be able to play a class as designed.

central dogma posted:Jesus, imagine installing a plug in to squeeze 20 more potency out of an opener and getting banned for it. A hearty lol. I don't know how much of a difference it makes on Monk, but on Gunbreaker it's a 10% damage increase between having it on or off. They decided it was a good idea to make Gunbreaker give up one of its oGCD slots after nearly action by default though so it might not be as big a difference for other classes. The bigger problem is why the gently caress is the game coded so that it resets your animation lock after receiving acknowledgment from the server? The client knows when you pressed the button, it knows when it should end. It's not even that it's server authoritative, you can apparently modify XIVAlexander so that when the client receives the update from the server it thinks you pressed the button earlier than you did and gives you no animation lock, and the server accepts new inputs before you should be able to just fine. central dogma posted:You swooped in here so fast to defend a tool you don't even use that I confused you for someone else. Apologies Yup. Install "Orchestration" > do /porch > Replacements > Target song: 862, Replacement Song: 860.
