From the old thread:Bruceski posted:Oh God the music's still here. I get it game, there was a very exciting call to action three hours ago. You can go back to the old music now. I thought finishing the zone would end it. Please, let me botany in peace! If you're a dirty plugin-user like me, the Orchestrion plugin was updated to allow replacing one song with another, or even to disable a specific song or set of songs from playing entirely. It comes with an option to put the currently playing song in the server info block and/or echo the current song to the chat log on song change. You might have to let it use song IDs as not all the songs from Endwalker have public names at this point in time.

Prae's got roughly 30 minutes of cutscenes in it. Castrum doesn't. However prae gives decently better xp because of its length, so, eh. There are people who will leave CM to requeue for Prae (presumably they're fate farming in the meantime? 30 minutes is a long penalty to take).

If you are the class you want to copy to you can also use current instead of the class name or abbreviation. For controllers it's /chotbar instead of /hotbar but everything else is the same.

Orcs and Ostriches posted:Yeah, well, MMO players are fundamentally broken in one way or the other. Still don't know why people think it's more interesting to have dead ends you're never visit and enemies you won't fight. It does help the dungeon feel like an actual place you're visiting rather than a themed corridor with conveniently placed temporary barriers. It's not more interesting past the first time you run it, and it feels like Square has gotten better over time at making dungeons feel like events you're running through, particularly from StB on. I like what they've settled on, but it leaves some Heavensward dungeons in an awkward-feeling spot.

Magres posted:The thing that absolutely rules about fishing is that you can do rod fishing entirely by the audio queues. Turn off everything but Sound Effects, turn them up loud, put on some Netflix (with the volumes set right so you can clearly hear the fishing queues over whatever you're watching) or a game you can pause easily, or even do some WFH, and you can fish to your heart's content with minimal attention paid. If you have a controller, map a crosshotbar for FSH and turn on the option to have the game accept controller input even when the window is inactive:  You can also fish by force feedback as the game rumbles your controller when you get a bite.

Macaluso posted:There's a lot of amazing clothing mods too. Now there are also a lot of extremely horny sex mods, and one of the main mods that is required for a lot of outfits is something called Bibo+, which is a body replacement mod. And you can set it to have small clothes or full nude. I get the reasoning behind nude mods, I don't fully understand why so many of the clothing mods require Bibo+ or this other mod "Tight and Firm" (though Bibo+ keeps the body shape the same if you pick the small option.). I'd rather not have to bother going to the effort of installing an entire body mod just to put on all these cool clothes. If you forgo using TexTools, there's a mod for XIVLauncher called Penumbra that does all that too. You can import .ttmp2 files and it does the right thing, only instead of modifying the underlying game files it unpacks them to a given directory, and redirects resource loads from the game files to the enabled addons. Multiple things can affect the same piece, and there's a system where you can set priority to certain mods. You can also add Character Collections which are sets of mods that should always be applied to a specific character from a specific server, so multiple mods that affect the same thing could be enabled for different characters. These are a bit more complicated to deal with though. Penumbra also enables replacing music files, so for example when I go back to Rak'tika Greatwood I hear the lovely sounds of Soken's voice. Or I have a mod I made myself to play Black Hole Sun in Ultima Thule

Doomykins posted:It is hard to call stuff in FF14 filler because FF14 is so consistent about doing set up, whether in the moment to add some weight to what is going on(i.e. general MMO new zone storyline of "earn these people's trust") or for later by establishing what's going on in this part of the world. It feels like they tried to streamline and MMO-ify the part of a single-player FF where you'd get to a new town and obsessively talk to everyone to learn what's up. Like it can seem very filler-like "go do these chores because you're at a new hub and you gotta do chores" but it'll almost always follow a solid line of logic and put in consistent, at least average character building. This is in a genre where most writers wipe their rear end with the dialogue scripts or worse, including the other big AAAs in the field so even with all the warts it shines just for the steady competence. TBH it's hard to tell what parts of these are denouement from 1.0 and particularly in ARR/HW things were not exactly being set up for a specific purpose. The writers said in interviews post-Endwalker release that (not endwalker spoilers, but perhaps spoily anyway) the Ascians particularly didn't have a driving motivation, they were just villains doing typically villainy poo poo; to their credit they worked things out well enough so ARR Hydaelyn and ARR Lahabrea's speeches still kinda fit, as long as you're willing to work it into what came later

Dareon posted:So it pains me to admit this, but I could use a little nudge towards mods. Because the game is like 90% playable without them, but my god that 10%. You probably want Allagan Tools, formerly known as Inventory Tools. I haven't used it personally but it can do lots of Garland Tools stuff right in the game, and you can set up filters to highlight things (like all items that can be gathered but aren't used for crafting). If you're already using XIVLauncher, it's in the default plugin repo ready to install. If you have plugin testing turned off, it'll still be InventoryTools IIRC. Some of the stuff like generating crafting lists is in the updated version, so you may need to enable testing to have it do everything you want.

Alxprit posted:Oh, since it's using a third-party launcher, maybe I should wait a day or two after 6.2 comes out to make sure it won't break compatability or what have you? No need to rush in any case, but it's definitely kind of awkward timing. The launcher itself and its ability to update and start the game are extremely unlikely to be affected by this. Launching and updating happens separately from injecting the plugin loader into the game, and game launch stays pretty stable; the only exception was when they made Steam accounts use Steam authentication, and login for Steam-connecting SE accounts wasn't working for a few days. Any plugins you may or may not want to use will likely not be working for a day or two, possibly longer depending on how much the game executable changes. This patch the dev team for XIVLauncher are also changing to use .net 6, so some plugins may get left behind in that upgrade as well.

Shinjobi posted:I guess I'm just left wondering when I'm going to find a group that's open to explaining stuff to me or are these conversations I should be having ITT or in my FC chat. The trick with PF is that most people are lying about where they're at, both people making parties as well as those joining. People are generally not immediately assholes though, you can ask what a given mechanic is and have it briefly explained. This tends to be fairly terse, a quick one-sentence thing; often you'll get it anyway after a wipe, when someone who does know will mention what went wrong (e.g. wait for AOE puddle to show before clocks = don't spread away from the mechanic position too soon). If you're confident in your ability to pick up and apply mechanics, you can watch a video guide and sneak in, particularly if a party is listed at a relatively early point in the fight. If you're not, anything tagged with a sprout or [Practice] should be fine.

There's a bunch of dungeons and bosses and several of them get run pretty rarely by people, and I definitely don't remember most dungeon boss gimmicks until they happen. Hell, even the new current dungeons I barely remember the gimmicks until they're happening..

I got a dude killed in P6n last night because I (a tank) repositioned too early from front+back safe to sides safe. The boss turned with me before blasting front and back, and at the last moment I realized it and got out. Most everyone else did too but one poor dancer ate it. A dude in party chat called out my big brain murder and it was pretty funny. I didn't mean to kill them, I was just tanking while high.

DACK FAYDEN posted:it's really not so bad, the challenge log pays out, per week: I've said this before when it's come up but do not sleep on Verminion tournaments. They're not at the same time every week it's like 3 days on, 3 days off or something. But you don't have to face human opponents, just queue for Master Tournament once you're registered. The cheese strategy I use relies on Wind-up Kojin and Wind-up Gentleman, so you'd have to have done the Kojin to that point and the ARR Hildibrand quests. Summon 4 Kojin to A, 4 Kojin to C, and send them at the arcane crystal. Summon as many gentlemen as you can and send them to B. Once a crystal goes down, send the minions from that to the center. Should take about 3 minutes at most to win. If you win 5 matches it's another 40k or more. If you win 10 matches 4 times, you can get a penguin pet from the achievement, and winning 10 matches usually rewards 80k-100k MGP.

Onean posted:It's not a blanket ban on mounts and emotes, and not all of the furniture and clothing is spared. It's just the single-character stuff. All emotes fall under that banner, unfortunately, but a large chunk of mounts don't. It's just the holiday mounts, furniture and outfits that do, since they were character specific to start with. The non-holiday mounts are account-wide, and giftable. As far as I can tell this is not true, there are no mounts that can be gifted. I tried with a couple I don't own, and there's no gift option. Trying with one I do own won't let me proceed to purchase because I already own it.

GloomMouse posted:I'm not sure what the issue is exactly but if it needs to be a 'puzzle' for you, then the 'puzzle' is "wtf is this note talking about???" It's not exactly going to make your brain explode but the note is meaningless unless you connect it to the other route (which you may not have done yet). Also, there have been several people that got the note and still didn't get where or how to use it until it was explained to them, so there's at least some thinking involved by the player I had a similar issue tbh. A friend handled the puzzle room by looking up the solution and just doing it, and I kept asking if there was any reason why that was the solution. Then we did a different path and got a note and welp, the solution is just find this note and do what it says. It felt pretty anticlimactic, I had been hoping that there was more of a logic puzzle to be figured out but there's no pattern or anything. They can't all be winners I guess.

Qwertycoatl posted:One thing to pay attention to: If the shop sell price is none, you can't buy the item of course. If it says restricted, there's some need to unlock the vendor. Those can sell for ok amounts on the market board. As mentioned the book might be useful, probably has recipes for a crafting class though it could be an emote. The glamour prisms and glamour dispellers are worth keeping, as are the gyshal greens to summon your chocobo to fight with you. Nothing you have looks to be irreplacable other than the friendship circlet, which is worth keeping around for the times you have a class under 25 you want to level. And if you don't want to bother with the market board for the materials (or don't have access to it because you're on the trial), just vendor them. They'll be worth modest amounts, but you won't meaningfully lose anything by doing so.

Awesome! posted:oh poo poo, i will look into that. is it just called "improved mount roulette" it's called "better mount roulette" and it finally got groups in, so you can set as many or as few mounts as favorites as you want, and you can set up groups of them so make a group called "dragons" and use /pmount dragons and it picks a random mount from that group. I don't know if it's in yet but the dev has planned to use groups as though they were one mount, so you can set up a few specific mounts and a couple groups like "horses" or whatever and rather than choose among all selected mounts, it'll choose an entry and if it lands on "horse" pick a random mount from the horse group. basically weighting everything in the group as one mount.

Kharmakazy posted:Throwing more hardware at it is literally what scaling is. And it isn't a matter of losing money, just making slightly less profit, which can easily be offset by renting. They have an app you rent, retainers for rent, and they literally sell passes to bypass content. This isn't a crazy or even difficult idea, it's literally what they are already doing. They did just come off a long period where they could not acquire any more servers for quite a length of time, to the point that they stopped selling the game because it was so crowded it took an hour or two to get on a server. Luckily that has changed which is why new servers have finally opened recently with more to come. Technical decisions were made long ago that housing wards are neighborhoods and will always be running rather than spinning up and down as people leave. There also seems to be a reluctance to touch any of the code related to housing; some of the plugin developers theorize most of the housing was done in a rush by contractors and the whole thing is a spaghetti mass that will make things keel over if you look at the code wrong. It's technical debt that has to be paid down, which is their responsibility of course. But because of the technical decisions made back in 2013-2014 and because of the semiconductor shortage, it's still not as simple as throwing more hardware at it.

drat they just keep coming with random quality-of-life features previously implemented in a third-party addon. Portrait (furniture) previews are in, party list debuff time remaining is in, gil count in the inventory window is in, and loving FINALLY you can disable the automatic camera follow in Legacy movement. All of these were options I used from addons and it's really nice to see QoL stuff like that implemented with each of these patches. Plus it looks like they're finally pulling what remains of cross-class skills out of the game with the change of gatherer skills to role actions.
