I had the bad luck of being the very last post in the other thread, so I'm just going to repost it here:

Arist posted:

AST seems like it's in a good place right now but I'm curious about a couple of things: First, you're not supposed to be fishing for three seals for Astrodyne, right? It's generally best to just use it when you can? Second, is anyone else feeling like they changed the timing for what qualifies as "in-combat" for the purposes of gaining seals? I feel like in ShB I eventually got used to how long I needed to wait after my first GCD for me to "enter" combat, and ever since EW launched I've been dropping seals "out of combat" like crazy.

Endwalker cutscene question just before going to the 6th zone (really *just* before, don't get into the slow wind-up and figure you've seen enough): all the beast tribes show up to help except the Namazu. Doesn't change based on quest progression, do they not count for some reason? I haven't done their quests, but I assumed the Big One was a primal even if we never fought the guy.

It's almost certainly that they haven't summoned a real primal, yes.

As someone whose trying to make it to zones 5 and 6 without spoilers due to how I see goons hyping it up, can anyone tell me without spoilers why it's so :holkyfuck: for people? I feel like based on the goon reactions so far I'm going to go into it with the same kinds of unrealistic expectations that Marvel fans have going into the Spider-Man.

The answer is, not really.

Crossposting from the Other thread:

I have some dumb questions about FFXIV on console (PS4/5 namely)

How does it play on a controller? Do you use a separate keyboard or just… forego chatting?

Is it cross platform i.e. can I use my normal PC account and hop back and forth between PS4 and PC at will?

It plays extremely well on controller (though some jobs are better than others). When I played exclusively on console I bought a wireless keyboard for when I needed to chat.

It is, in fact, cross platform. You have to buy the game + expansion for each platform, but your character will transfer.

I heard someone in I believe here say that The Scions who appeared in the first were determined by those who fought the Warriors of Darkness. If that’s the case, then How did Yshtola get to the first? She wasn’t there!

It's not the case. To my recollection the Exarch explicitly was only trying to pull the WoL but kept missing.

Saying “I’m having a bad experience with this game” is not at all the same as saying “this developer is bad, and should be ashamed of themselves.”

You can talk about silicon shortages and data center “blah blah blah” until you’re blue in the face, but the fact of our poor experience remains.

There are people saying exactly that though????

I think the only combat ability I have a macro attached to is Living Dead and that's mainly because the healer kind of needs to know immediately when you've used that so it's just a brief /party message. Even then, I don't really press it much at all.

These world boss fates loving fall apart if there's literally six hundred people in the instance. Ran it with a full party twice, with four and three tanks, and got bronze both times. I got silver once a different time somehow, but I still need one more silver at best to get this goddamn mount.

your cohealer opts to use the exact same macro after 2+ people die. the person they raised first hasn't accepted their raise yet. you hit this macro.

Also, what if you need to rez a red mage first, who will typically appear near the very end of the party list?

Theoretically, if I used Zoe on Eukrasian Diagnosis (which I know is probably not a great idea most of the time anyway), I would be kind of screwing myself by giving myself a bigger shield to break for an Addersting charge, right?

Ryanbomber posted:

If you're in a situation where you have to use a GCD on healing, then Addersting is probably a secondary concern, and also whatever's attacking is going to get through your shield anyway

I think Zoe only affects spells, so it's pretty much either EDiagnosis, EPrognosis or Pneuma

EDiagnosis is fine to use it on

I just figured Prognosis is a better pick for Zoe most of the time.

Friendly advice to people just now getting to 89-90 in the story:

When you get to the final zone, turn off shout chat entirely if you care even a little bit about story or ambiance. All the people with terminal gamer brains waiting on a world FATE may sour the experience for your otherwise.

Do this even if you're not in the final zone, I know someone who was in a hunt train an hour ago and was complaining about people /shout-ing spoilers through the 82-83 zone.

So like is it easy now days to figure out how to get the iron frog mount? I don't really know anything about how people figure out when the bosses are up and stuff. I have Ixion because of moogles.

If you use that site you can track all the world fates by server and chance to activate. Formidable is old enough that people won't instapull it so you'll have a few minutes when it pops to get there.

You can also go to the Coeurl Discord server and specifically track Formidable as a FATE and they'll ping you whenever it spawns on any server.

I have kind of a weird ask: You know how the 2002 error popup is semi-transparent and you can see the queue number behind it, something you've almost certainly never thought about? I'm working on something very stupid and for it I'd like a fullscreen (or at least reasonably large) screenshot of the 2002 error with the queue number below, say, 1300 or so (the number at 1 would be absolutely perfect but I'm not too greedy/picky about my prospects here). If anyone has an image like that they'd let me use, I'd be very grateful. I've been trying to get it myself during my logins but (un)fortunately I haven't 2002'd in a while.
