I unironically think he’s been possessed by a proto-Voidsent as a bit of irony considering he possess Thancred during his MSQ fight. Hence the way the raid seems to be set up narratively.

I'm thinking psycho future Lahabrea hitched a ride with you somehow and possessed his past self during your initial visit

Wild speculation: the fourth boss and the lyrics to the fourth boss's music makes me think future bosses in the raid will also be refs to popular non-Square PS1 games

A lot of the "DRK is absolutely unplayably bad" hysteria came from people noting that they have slightly less survivability in 4-man content compared to WAR, who basically everyone agrees is already invincible as long as the healer isn't asleep on their keyboard.

I think I could probably solo all or almost all dungeon bosses in the game as WAR. I soloed the big cheese from 25% a little while ago (the healer died at 70%)

"Only roll Need if it's your map" is a terrible system for several reasons, chief among them the fact that you're not guaranteed to get a portal. It puts you in a position where you're rooting for other people to have bad luck because if anyone else gets a portal it's less time spent on a map where you have a chance of actually getting something before the group disbands.

theres also a good chance not everyone will get the memo, or will pretend to not get the memo if something good drops

But there might come a point where profiles like that one become reportable.

Yea this is probably how they'll deal with it, giving GMs the tools to edit/delete portraits that go too far just like they can rename players and guilds

but there's no denying this is tremendous content

That's actually a really good idea for getting SMN to 90. Simplified play set, team environment, that might work for me

and best of all, once you're there you get a free 90 SCH for fast Aglaia and Asphodelos queues

Only two more to go for me. Insanely annoying how luck based it is.

But it has been a nice way to get experience for jobs I don't like playing.

Queueing as a group can help. 4 SMNs or 4 SCHs acting in concert will really tilt things in your team's favor

Yeah, I'm not really sure what they expected when they hired a team that had no experience in making an MMO, had leadership that didn't really play MMOs, and didn't even try to learn the lessons previous games had already left for them.

It's weird to me how little headhunting seems to go on in MMO dev. Some of my oldest twitter follows are Planetside 2 devs and hardly any of the systems guys seem to work in games anymore. And Planetside 2 was really technically impressive!

If I want to convert Poetics to gil I buy Unidentifiable Ore and use that to buy Grade 3 Thanalan topsoil to sell.

Last I checked there really is no good way, at least on Excalibur. Theres just way more people trying to unload poetics than there is demand for the stuff you can spend them on, if you have all the alt job gear you want you can just let them rot with zero guilt

Mild curiosity about the role quests in shadowbringers. Doing the DPS one right now involving an old hunter. Do the other role quests similarly involve other members of that party of old?


I guess I'm just curious if anything is different in the story later if you get all the quests done. Disclaimer: I will probably not get all the quests done before I complete the MSQ. Just wanna know if there's any differences down the road.

yeah, the MSQ has some callbacks to the SB capstone if you complete it

edit: actually now I can't remember if the MSQ does, the Eden plotline definitely does though, and the MSQ almost certainly will in the future

You haven’t really experienced WAR yet at 50. Trust me - keep leveling it. WAR becomes almost ungodly.

I usually main war when I play the game every couple years and I can't imagine it'll be as busted in Dawntrail as it was/is in Endwalker MSQ content. Being unkillable and even patch healing the dps before the healer can is very funny
