If it's like most of the other promotions they've done, there will be an alternate way to get the emote later that's at least a little less obnoxious.

I wait an hour and a half to get to under 1000 in the queue. Then it disconnects, but when I try to reconnect the data center doesn't respond. The second try works but by then I'd lost my spot. That's just... really lovely. I can deal with 3001 errors not letting me queue at all but kicking me out of line because of connection issues on their end, while I can't even use my TV for hours because I have to act fast if I get disconnected again, sucks.

Welp. That would have been a nice chunk of cash to start the expansion with. The ex trials are both cool but the spinning map mechanic still breaks my brain even when I know exactly what it's going to do. And I forget if it was this way in ShB too, but gatherer leves boost you *insanely* fast. Like three to four leves will level you up, and since there aren't even HQ gathers any more they're even easier than they used to be.

The opening act of the Endwalker is definitely not strong enough to be an entire expansion on its own, and would either feel badly padded or would have needed a completely different setup pre-EW to work that way. (83 trial spoilers) and as hype as we've been to fight Zodiark since ARR, the events of Shadowbringers made it clear that killing Big Z is an incredibly terrible idea and could not have worked as an ending. Which is why Dan forced our hand. I'm really enjoying the quieter version of Flow the more I hear it. It's just so comfy.

I've not even seen the Chi fate yet because people on my server keep killing it at weird times of day. I was somehow able to jump through instance congestion to get a gold win on the guy in Thavnair though. Maybe he has mechanics but he went down so fast he only got to do like three things.

Macaluso posted:I absolutely loved the part where all your friends come into your room with a bunch of food and your WoL and all their friends are talking and eating. I loved the little bit with Graha and Alisae with their burgers This was an exceptionally good cutscene. That, the dinner with the rest of the Scions, and the hug were highlights of the expansion imo. Just wonderful humanizing moments to help keep you grounded between dealing with cosmic conflicts.

I would be happy if the 6.x patches were nothing more high stakes than a romp around the world, looking for shiny new dresses to wear, strange new gods to kill, and even bigger fish to catch. There will probably be some big fancy story hook, but there's a lot of potential places one could lead to.

Staggy posted:My favourite line in the expansion comes in the cutscene after the final dungeon/before the final trial. I took that line as partially sincere and partially an attempt at a friendly jab, showing that Zenos has actually exhibited a tiny little bit of growth. It was a really good line regardless.

jimmydalad posted:So I understand why they are releasing the Island Sanctuary. After all the poo poo he's been through, my WOL really wants a place to just gently caress off and not be disturbed for once. That's kind of my plan. Just retire to the farm until the plot starts again, then they can summon me forth like I'm Fantasy Cincinnatus or something.

z6 shout chat is a non stop trash fire. Tying a cool mount to a world FATE with a random 36-72 hour cooldown with heavily congested servers full of gamers was a mistake.

Onean posted:It's funny you say that, because in this case everyone fucks up the unobvious mechanics the first time they see them except Y'shtola. She shouts she can see the aether and adjusts. Also the trusts assign themselves spread positions but don't tell you, so Urianger managed to murder me by chasing me with his AoE. Luckily when you do the fight with trusts it gives you a few freebie stacks where the healers are allowed to rez you before the fight resets. Unless you touch the edge, anyway.

Probably a dumb question, but since shield healing is the thing I've done the least: there's no point trying to keep E.Diagnosis up on the tank at all times right? Just when they're gathering trash or for a tank buster if Haima isn't available for some reason?

Devor posted:I just did the quest that gives you a Chocobo battle buddy pet, wasn't expecting that! You never *need* a chocobo out for single player overworld stuff but it helps, especially after you train them up with a few healer levels and they can Choco Cure you. And there's really no reason not to have your bird buddy out in places they can be out. Their tanking ability is pretty trash, and only useful for sometimes interrupting an attack with a stun. Even as a healer you can easily steal hate off a chocobo tank. Thundarr fucked around with this message at 16:17 on Dec 14, 2021 |

Devor posted:So it's not a class-either-or thing with Chocobos, you can splash some healing, some damage? Yep. And eventually you can max them out in all three roles, and they can use all the abilities from each. Though some people argue that you shouldn't get that last healer level due to the AoE heal being a hps loss while solo.

TGLT posted:While I haven't done any extreme shield healing yet, I think that's the idea yeah. In boss fights you wanna primarily rely on your various gall heals, like Kerachole, with zoe + E.Diagnosis when it's up or when you need to provide room for the regen effects to work. I've seen some people say Haima + E.Diagnosis shields stack, but I'm not sure about that. It may just be they keep the Haima buff so that'll kick in for you when the first E.Diagnosis shield breaks. Thanks, that's more or less what I thought!

Xerophyte posted:Yes, the various shields stack. We can stack Haima and Panhaima too, doing so saved my bacon once in T2Ex when we went in to a repeated stack aoe with 4 people alive and I managed to come out the other end alive with LB3 available. Good to know that "PUSH EVERY BUTTON" is a valid strat in oh poo poo situations, as opposed to half your stuff stepping on the toes of the other half. I'm also positive there's some actual use for the Rescue + Icarus position swap, but I couldn't say what it is. The funny applications for it are much more apparent.

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.

Warrior is absolutely beastly right now with both self sustain and burst damage on demand, and their level 90 is one of the most satisfying buttons in the game to push. Be a warrior, you won't regret it.

Nibble posted:(Final trial spoilers) The Worm's Tail at 150%, into the Final Fantasy Overture, into Ultima while keeping the same key and instrumentation, is just magnificently hype. Especially as a direct follow up to Zenos rushing the stage. If there's anything that makes Endcaller less than perfect as a final boss theme for 2.0-6.0 it's that it doesn't have any more Worm's Tail after the opening.

Harrow posted:Do any of the role quests actually lean into what role they're supposed to be about? I found that the tank one didn't really feel like it had anything to do with the tank role at all and felt more like a healer role quest until the final solo duty (which, admittedly, was pretty fun I thought). The melee role quests are less about being a puncher specifically and more about being a squad commander I guess? I've only done a few of the healer quests but the theme seems to be providing therapy to somebody who's needed it for a long time. Tank wasn't really about being a tank at all, yeah.

My queue was only 1300 instead of 3200. The planet is healing.Infidel Castro posted:Sounds like the Gorilla in Raktika No comparison, especially since I can't even remember what the gorilla does so it can't have been so bad. (are hunt target mechanics spoilers? whatever, feel free not to click if you like being surprised) The one in z5 does a spin move, but every time it turns 90 degrees it does a gently caress Everybody to the Right Punch or a gently caress Everybody to the Left Punch, alternating with each turn. Not too awful to avoid if you know what is about to happen. Very few people there did. The two A ranks in Labrynthos are decent runners up for Meanest EW A Rank but this dude just had a hilarious amount of blood on his hands in seconds.

Sage is cool and fun, though I'll probably never get the absolute maximum output from it since I'm not exactly a "think three steps ahead" kind of gamer. Luckily the prep work for most content is pretty straightforward and extremely effective. One thing to watch out for is getting too used to Kerachole having a regen, since when you sync down it'll stop doing that. I have to admit I'm kind of curious how the "don't you dare ever dps as a healer" genre of tank players will react to sage.
