Finally no more threads that freeze my phone browser. Also, hot take: FFXIV is good and Endwalker is a good expansion.

There's also the detail that Meteion's own reason for doing that task beyond "orders" was to make Hermes feel better. And all she got back was "Life is horrible and we wish we were dead" and Hermes pushed her to tell him that. No wonder the Meteia had a collective breakdown.

To all the people clamoring EW should have been 2 expansions: Do you really want an expansion of nothing but Fandaniel and Zenos? Even the people who liked them found their appearances in the 5.X patches boring, streching Garlemald to an entire expansion would mean 10 entire levels of that poo poo. IMO Fandaniel and Zenos only worked because their importance to the plot ended early, with Fandaniel getting an extra development through Hermes. The next problem is the areas. We'd need double for 2 expansions. The Garlemald one would have Thavnair, the moon as the final zone and then what? 4 Garlemald zones? Which would all have prob the same plot or be filler as in, liberating them and that's all? Do you guys want a repeat of Ala Mhigo but Worse? The second expansion wouldn't be so bad since they'd have Labyrinthos/Elpis/Ultima Thule, but I can't think of more zones to fit. And finally, there's the time lapse cause people forget we get an expansion every 2-3 years. Lv 85 already dragged long enough, now imagine 5 patches of the Final Days, all just misery and such. And what could you do in them besides "Thavnair but worse"? Cause solving the Final Days in 6.X patches would suck and waste all the non-Garlemald zones. Also killing characters just to raise the stakes is bad even if the character had more development than Moenbryda. The only thing I agree is that the Apocalypse weather should have spread to more zones beyond Thavnair and Garlemald. The scene where Krile sees an echo of the red skye should have just been... the sky turning red on Sharlayan. Not sure why they didn't do that, if people complain about not having weather for hunts/fishing just, finish the MSQ.

Oh, and also like, we have the 6.X patches, which despite the developers saying the plot finished on 6.0, can be used to develop Thavnair/Garlemald/the Moon a bit more.

Actually all summons should be 1:1 with the primal. They should also add Susanoo and Lakshmi, except they are they big sized forms. Nobody deserves to see mechanics.

Just a warning for people on the midst of Relic Weapon Quests: you may have to reallocate points to advance since they squished stats. Thankfully the anima one was free, not sure when it changed or if it's a one time only, having to farm more sand would have killed me.

In my case I'm pretty much just staying there while doing other stuff. That said the random spawn timers are a bit dumb even if it's so people don't keep killing the boss at ungodly hourse, Instance 1 on Moogle respawned way faster than Instance 3 so a lot of people missed it.

Ugh, I wanted to finish the "gather 30 each of 6 items" step of the relic before going into Dalriada to finish Bozja but I'm not sure my mind can handle it. Nowadays everyone on Zadnor just spams fates on zone 3 so that step is already done, but nobody bother killing much of the mobs to spawn CE and obviously nobody spawns anything on zones 1 and 2 so my only option is to run Eden and Alexander around 15 times and Deltascape around 30. Why didn't they remove the Sync requirement with Endwalker

drat, the crafted Gathering/Crafting sets feel really cheap for me? Just got Miner to 90 and went to check out and the whole set, accs included was under a million. Was expecting it to be like 10 times that, but even the crafting set feels cheap.

queeb posted:they were expensive 2 weeks ago, but holy moly there's a LOT more crafters nowadays it seems, everyones an omnicrafter now. Honestly? Checks out, I leveled miner from 81 to 90 in a day with only 6 leves. Between that and Ishgard Restoration for faster lower-level levelling getting crafters and gatherers at 90 is easy. Although it's probably slower once you finish all Studium quests since they're a good chunk of EXP. Also holy moly the MIN/BTN Studium capstone. Hinageshi totally planned everything out to bait him into proposing, I know it.

Okay, up until now I never had much problem with the queue times since I could just go do something else while keeping an eye, but getting kicked out of Castrum because wifi turned off (or my sister turned it off, still up to debate) and it was long enough to get a 90002 error and now the queue is 1000 so I have to do MSQ roulette again sucks balls.

...huh, just realized, Pandemonium gear should be 580 ilevel, right? Doesn't that mean it's better to focus on left side since you can farm 580 accs on EX trial? (I mean, there's probably some that have better substats than EX and ultimately it doesn't matter for casual play, but just wondering in order to max my ilevel for future gatekeeping)

Yeah, I know, I just forgot the first raid had that dichtonomy with the accs, and I have a tendency to still try to get the locked gear in the best order.

People have been saying raids got harder after the squish but they feel the same to me? Prob it's just people AFKing more than usual. Like Syrcus still dies at the same pace. Anyways my policy for roulette is I'll leave if I get the same raid in a row 3 times when I have more available or I get a raid not on Khloe and I really want that checkmark.

Mordiceius posted:I hate PVP in MMOs. I find small-group PVP incredibly frustrating. Large-group PVP turns me into a rage beast. I'd argue that doing nothing on Frontline is a plain gain over playing badly since you don't feed. I don't like ot much either but it's MSQRR EXP for 15-20 min so I find it worth the mild boringness. Also MSQ roulette is tje best because you can just watch videos/play switch between burning bosses so it's even less effort than 24 man.

On the topi of worst roulettes: Expert: Not really one. Usually Expert is less guilty of having horrible dungeons or being boring (since you get to play on max level) and more guilty of having to do it anywhere between 3-5 times a week to cap so it can get repetitive real fast. Leveling: All dungeons up to Toto-Rak count, can't decide which is worst, but Tam-Tara has an edge for me because its corridors are long and you have to follow the tank for ages when they wall pull despite no one having AOE. Numbers: Too many dungeons to tell. I guess Neverreap? Or hell, Matoya's Relict, cool design but meh to play. Trials: Steps and the later trials mostly. Thankfully 90% of the time it's Ifrit/Titan Hard and I can sleep. Alliance Raid: Copied Factory cause the HP is too big, Labirinth for being old and boring and not fun fast like Syrcus and... well, any raid where people just sleep. Normal Raid: Agree on A2 as some said. Also Chadarnook for IDK the reason, I just don't like it. MSQ: Castrum because people forgot the fast strat against Livia (wait till all canons are ready to fire so you get all add waves at once and don't get the adds attacking the hands constantly making this poo poo last longer goddamnit) Guildhest: The bomb one for being longer due to needing to wait for all adds to explode.

Huh, I ended up buying some crafted gear to pump my SMN a little bit as an alternative to prog P1S when I can't find a spot as a tank and I think I'm actually doing good? Yeah, SMN right now is braindead but I find it fun to try and plan out the phases, and it's a great fit for my scatterbrain since I can just adjust on the fly which primal I'll summon next. Heck, I'm actually parsing quite high in the practice runs I have. Of course I don't know if I'm playing SMN well or I've been getting terrible teammates cause only RPRs have been outDPSing me and that feels wrong since SMN lost a ton of damage in the rework...

Fiye posted:DRG feels awful and the 90 capstone being a button you press after two combos just feels weak. Nothing like Stardiver where you were trying to optimize fitting it into your buffs. Is there anywhere I can get resources on SMN that's not locked behind a Discord (the greatest sin of this lustrum)? I've tried looking at there's not much to see, and I'd like to see it cause my mayor problem I have is Searimg Light always coming off CD after Bahamut is up, even if I delay Bahamut a bit at the start.

Thanks to the advice guys! Although to point it out, Akhmorning and the balance websites haven't updated yet for EW beyond maybe a rotation outline, that's why I was asking Glad to see I was mostly right about what I was doing. I might try to keep progging as SMN, mostly because tank on P1S PF feels like a mess because the strat is to voke at Pitless and then the original MT inmediately vokes back instead of just, tank swapping and it leads to needing to stance dance a lot because Shirk isn't up for every pitless that way.

Finally downed P1S  it took me around a week on PF but I managed to find the one group where we did good enough DPS (most other groups enraged at 5-10%, this one downed it even with a half-wipe-into-healer-lb3 during pizza chains). First time I clear Savage content when relevant!Now to P2S which is gonna be worse, of course...

The funny part with P1S is that chains and intemp are such a prog stopper that even groups that do them perfectly still gently caress up in second pizza from the obvious result of not getting enough practice at it

If Reaper didn't have to pay attention to his debuff it would honestly be totally braindead to play. That said I think adding a trait to the main combo that increases the timer by like 10 seconds on hit would be a nice QOL without completely making it irrelevant.

Just tried out P2S for the first time and... yeah, I can see why some people say it's less of a hassle than P1S? Boss hits like a truck and obv has wipeout mechanics but the first parts of the fight are much less of a "ubnderstand where you have to go NOW" than P1S. We got to NotLimit Cut on the second pull.

There's also the fact those numbers are implying optimal play. As a SMN I've been outDPSing bad BLM, everyone whom I parsed with. Ultimately just play your job well and hit GDCs and you'll be fine with everything but Savage.
