I assume the Modern Aesthetics item is actually the clown face paint rather than a haircut. That would be the first time they've added a face paint option as a limited time thing to my knowledge.
it's face paint that we see on the poster according to the garland tools website

Frontlines is a total crazyfest, there's a mix of people who actually want to try to win for the title and people who just want to find the nearest person and hit buttons

Tried CC again as SMN this time; still fun but some of y'all need to stop chasing the solo samurai off away from the crystal lmao. Teams can get absolutely demolished if people run in one or two at a time as opposed to trying to stay with a group, even if that means giving up some crystal progress. Also Bahamut/Phoenix can straight delete people and it's great.

And also tried Frontlines, and yeah, that still sucks rear end. But I'm down for more CC-related stuff!
SMN in CC is fairly fun, but it seems its AoE attacks might be even more useful in FL, but I need to try it in FL

I just stopped playing ranked, after a string of lost games where I saw my team mates playing 'meta' jobs revive one by one and then run alone into an enemy team to die, I just gave up.

I was thinking about rocking a bunch of casual games to help level my AST since I don't generally like healing in PvE as much, but are they actually good at keeping their team alive and debuffing the enemy, you think? That's good enough for me to try it out.

e: They seriously should add some of the PvP MCH stuff into their PvE toolkit. Heat blast sucks and should go away imo
btw, CC gives very little leveling exp

I've started doing Frontlines roulette and it loving sucks, I don't know how anyone can keep track of what is happening at any given moment, it's just pure chaos and not in a fun way. It's decent enough XP and doesn't take too long, though the matches have been incredibly tedious. I'm looking forward to trying out CC at least, but Frontlines is just something to be endured for me, at least until I get the fist-punch emote.
It's mostly about looking at the map, following the group from one crystal/flag/whatever to another and glancing at chat window for occasional calls. Otherwise just don't jump alone into enemy group. It can be quite organized sometimes.

I got archfiend coffer and some stuff I wanted from crystal trophy merchant, so I can just wait until next season whether it will be better balanced.

I feel like there is a difference between how well the game mode is actually balanced, and how well people think its balanced. Some things might be EXTREMELY popular because they are perceived as being good. I don't think WAR and WHM are THAT much stronger than everything else. I think its just because we see them all the time, every game, and we see them all the time every game because people think they're good. After all, they must be good, otherwise why would people play them every game? Its just a meme that reinforces itself. There might have been some truth to it at first but just try some different things.
yes, I think there was a bit of a surprise when it was found there are many RDMs among the top 100, because it was not considered OP job back then, but no SMNs

I didn't think housing situation is this dire, I remember seeing plenty of empty plots years ago, I even managed to buy house twice (I lost the first one). I suppose this might be an effect of booming game population and suspension of reclamations.

My week of frontlines was 0 1st place, 0 2nd place, 7 3rd place, and that's not atypical
I tend to have a week of losses and then next week I have a string of wins. Maybe that's coincidence or it's their weird FL matchmaking system.

Tataru is totally planning her own rug-pull coin, and she has something juicy on Thancred to ensure he says nothing about it.

I maxed out the height slider (or close enough) on my catte, but I haven't really noticed it in game. I don't really stand around next to people focusing on the models enough to appreciate the difference.
I usually spend some time checking other teammates in CC while waiting for the start of the match. I noticed my character is taller than 90% of other players and I am not even playing as one the tallest races.

Every time I see someone in my housing ward, it's a little miracle. Maybe return of autodemolitions would change something, maybe it would help bring some active players.
Although I know my neighbor exists and is active because they recently clearly copied exterior of my house.

Speaking of Frontline, anyone know when the Dynamis DC ones trigger? They must fill at some point, since there's a leaderboard, but I have no idea what the window is (8pm EST Sunday was no good and immediately after the daily reset now apparently isn't either).
:lol: at leaderboard for frontlines existing, just a list of people that rolled the dice the most

they could bring back 8-man frontlines for times when DCs are less populated

There needs to be a way to preview classes, it's impossible to get a good feel for them with how much some of them change as you level.
It is not ideal, but you can access POTD at level 17 to (sort of) try how job plays at level 60.
