deal as much damage as you can
Delay first nastrond and try to use nastrond under b4b as much as possible.
Literally do the rotation. Over and over again.
I'm doing that but it's a mathematic impossibility for there to be nowhere to improve upon the rotation and my application of it
>cramming for a test after you've failed it
just try again in bunnytown after they've fucked around with all the jobs again.
Couple months before the early-access for that, yet, I'd rather not just fuck around for that time if I could be using it to pin down jobs better
Man the art style of this game is so good but I'll be damned if I'm going to spend 150+ hours doing fetch quests to get to the good part of the story.
Whoever designed the early-mid game should be lynched.

One more thing:
If you have an assload of party buffs on you (litany, tether, balance, battle voice, etc) and you need to reload your dot, feel free to haga at 2 sen to get as many of those bitches on the dot as possible

How to use meikyo shisui without buff timers falling off? It seems like the logical thing to do is use it on gekko/kasha/yukikaze for the most payoff, but hitting those directly means you skip the 2nd step weaponskills, and by the time you cycle back around to them both the shifu and jinpu buffs are falling off (or already have).
Feels like the instances where meikyo is up and both those buffs are nearly capped are few and far between
use it after yukikaze then gekko and kasha
You only need a lot of skill speed to not drop one of the buffs
Try the general....
>asking for ingame advice in a general that exclusively avatarfags, namedrops, and discusses discord drama
Give it a try and let us know how that worked out for you.
also if NIN in party, make sure you are aligning your higanbana to the trick
I'd sooner ask OP to make a snowball in the flames of hell than tell him to find game advice in /xivg/

I got a juicy 59,624 hit on Seriyu today.
>enter a house with 2 catgirls erping
>use hide
>u-um we can see you
No you can't
You're 100% right, but if you successfully shill out 20 bucks you can skip it. It's a shitty, greedy solution but it IS a solution.
>That juicy sound effect when you pull it off
God damn this job feels so satisfying to play, meta autists can suck my dick.
ah thats neat, didnt think to use it after yukikaze so you'd get 3x of the 400 potency weaponskills off it.
Yes. It's so satisfying to nail hits like that on Samurai.
I forgot to mention
Thats be for the others one, in my opener I use it on yukikaze
I do kasha + gekko + meikyo + yukikaze gekko > higan
haga after yukikaze****
>he fucking deleted it
Just resubbed after like a year. Orbonne Monastery was fun.
It almost makes me want to replay FFXII.
Almost.
Just put it on in the background and let it play itself, easy shit user.
tell me your character is wearing some booty shorts or something behind that stupid smock. god, that outfit is ridiculous. Also, what did you think of the TG Cid fight?
Shit taste.
Sorry lad. It looks retarded, and it looks retarded on everyone.
That outfit is retarded, XIV can't do tactics/tactics ogre equips in this game.
Damn that reminds me of Joker from Flame of Recca.
people seem to like the valerian dragoon set. Though the plain tabard is a bit weird for me.
Nope, pants.
I tried it with the Astral Silk Bottoms of Healing but it looked even more ridiculous.
I could, but it still feels like a massive waste of time.
I do wish the zones in FFXIV were more like the ones in XII though. I get that one game is an MMO and the other isn't, but an area like the Giza Plains that goes from arid badlands to water-soaked marsh with the seasons would be really interesting.
The outfit is goofy looking, unfortunately, but to imply that 'booty shorts' will fix it just fills me with disgust.
>tell me your character is wearing some booty shorts or something behind that stupid smock.
Yeah because the best looking ones are female
I just thought that would make it even more funny. Not that it would look good..
Is XIV's SAM a parry tank like in XIV?
>wind up finisher:kaiten
>tank moves boss away
No it's pure DPS.
No it's a DPS that's not meta.
That's kinda disappointing. Thanks, though
iiajutsi is fun as fuck if you're a weeb though, fuck the meta
>dragoon
Always get 2 nastronds in BfB. Have to delay the first LotD by 30s to do so (use gier before mirage), the rest should be intuitive from there and may differ based on skill speed. Doom Spike -> Sonic Thrust can salvage botd in some cases.
>white mage
Use Regen to salvage some of the value of having to move or in cases where you have to use Tetra/Swiftcast without Aero II coming up anytime soon. Ideally, every Regen applied is one that's used during movement. Assize is powerful now, It's better to balance all aoe healing around it, if you don't have to heal immediately, just wait for assize.
DRK has at least one katana weapon model and a full samurai armor set if that's any consolation. It'll be edgier than SAM, but if you want to tank while looking like a samurai that'd be an option.
whats a good side bitch mmo to play, servers are going to go down in an hour and i have nothing to do til reset
There's literally nothing of value besides WoW and ESO
is that really it because i dont feel like play either of those
Truth, XII had an amazing setting with a very grounded world and a relatively solid cast of characters. Minus side is it's also FFXII. Maybe just watch the cutscenes on youtube, look at some concept art or some shit to get it out of your system.
GW2 can be enjoyed in small bursts
Time to review your backlog.
Play a gatcha game. Granblue or Fate GO maybe.
GBF is like a modernised Final Fantasy, with a lot of art done by Akihiko Yoshida himself; but I personally play FGO because I'm at heart I'm still a 13 year old and I love my chuunibyou powerlevel fightan.
runescape
What is meta right now?
NIN/MNK, BRD, MCH, DRG. The usual chads.
i haven't bought any of the expansions for that game yet,and honestly i dont even feel like playing it regardless
i've played granblue some but i don't care for gacha games at all, almeida is cute though
What about magic dps, tanks and healwrs?
>NIN/MNK
>MNK
MNK shitter this isn't going to be true no matter how many times you say it. Just hope for next expansion, maybe with the vulnerability thing not mattering anymore you'll have a shot this time.
>NIN/MNK
you wish mhigger
FFXIV is like 95% player skill emphasis over class. Autists will claim there's a "meta comp" but it's really only for top 10 speedrun shit.
Current "meta" is
WAR
PLD
AST
SCH
NIN
BRD
DRG
SMN
You can play literally whatever you want and clear everything in the game. The fastest speedrun strats use BLM because big dick DPS, and the world first this tier was taken by a DRK. If you really want meta specifically though there it is^
I dunno man, if it's just for a couple hours I'd suggest busting out an emulator or browsing GOG to find and play through a real game for a few hours.
>autisming out over Jobs when ShB is gonna through everything into orbit
Drop NIN, add BLM.
Your delusion is cute, come to my chamber.
Read the rest of the post?
crash bandicoot it is then
Brotherhood + Mantra + The damage diff between NINs and MNKs make them meta in certain tiers of savage as well as team comps for prog.
Stay mad SAMcucks.
>SMN
It's always two phys range with drg you mongoloid.
MCH has been phased out.
Except I main WAR, fag. Swap back to DRG and tether me for my burst windows or you're out of the party. Enjoy your queue times.
FF Paladins are my jam, soprolly that
lol I'm a nin, I don't even think about you
Is it actually viable to skip the quest and one job? If you take the time to learn the class of course.
I want to get back into it but I hate slow leveling without having (m)any abilities with a passion.
Nice choice, PLD is great and every MT loves to see you backing them up. The leveling process can be a bit grindier than most jobs though so try not to burn yourself out.
That's it? That's barely more than my TKs do
hell I'm pretty sure I landed a non-crit 50k Midare yesterday
These days you can just grind palace if you like having abilities.
One day left lads!
that s not europe
Depends how much you value your time. It'll be roughly 80 hours (not an exaggeration) to get through all the shlock and hit Heavensward content which is about where it gets good. Minus side is you'll have none of the story context so a lot of shit won't really impact you the way it would had you experienced it normally.
The boost will cuck you out of some story fulfillment and 30 bucks for story up to HW/character, but it will save you literal weeks of casual quest hell.
Then you don't even get to use half your abilities because everything dies before you can.
Well that's without party buff, or Strength party bonus, ilvl 392 with a ilvl390 weapon.
Yes it is, but do NOT skip HW. Only buy the ARR skip if you want to. HW isn't full of filler as much as ARR was and it's a lot more relevant than most of ARR. Do remember to go to an inn and watch the tail end of the ARR story cutscenes though (pretty much everything from after Titan onward)
So it's gonna be even harder to queue?
Cheers. Not looking forward to 80 hours of bullshit. Not a big fan of buying shit like this, but in this case I'll make an exception. Thanks bros.
Not really, all the RP servers are being quarantined on Crystal and nobody on them queues anyway
Gonna be real easy for Crystal players to queue. You'll never clear, but you sure can queue with all those players.
If you recruit a friend do they have to play on the same server as you?
remember my sacrifice primal bros
no
You are nothing to me bryn, diablolos, malboro, nothing, I hate you, die die die
Oh, I just assumed you had an Omega weapon or at least a tome weapon. 50k is what I got on a direct crit too with two 380 accessories and a 405 weapon/400 left side/3 400 accs
I'm on Coeurl. My WoW guild is on Gilgamesh. Is it possible those free world transfers allow me to go to say Adamantoise to raid with them?
Why is it grindier?
>laughs at you in Foul.
Job doesn't put out as much damage so fights take longer and an extra like 10 seconds doesn't sound like much until you multiply it by the 5k mobs you'll have killed by the end. Note that's only on a clean first character, if you already have dungeons up to 70 you can just smash your head on those and get to 70 in like a week.
I don't think you can direct hit crit more than that with foul without a party
how do people live off of a raid tier cosisting of four 10 minute fights for 6 months
Foul is nice but have you ever had every single one of your hits direct crit during Riddle of Fire? Nothing feels better than seeing
>17,436!!
>25,245!!
>10,104!!
>56,307!!
>10,911!!
All in the span of 2 seconds
Majority move on to attempt ultimates or just unsub.
Many also try clearing on alt jobs.
Hey man, I main BLM too. We 100% do more damage than SAM overall, but a kaiten'd Midare will out damage Foul 1:1 almost every time. It's literally just the potency difference.
Foul is pretty lame when you consider that in the time you get a single 60k direct crit foul you also get a bunch of 40k crit fire 4s
^This right here is the tradeoff. Foul is important yes but triplecasting Fire 4 is the REAL big dick.
Is this game fun/worth getting into? I like the final fantasy world aesthetic but i don't know if it would be enjoyable this far into the game's lifespan.
Easy, I don't play 14 hours a day.
Yes but not at this exact moment unless you have twitch prime
Right now in order to play past level 50 (Heavensward is 51-60 and Stormblood is 61-70) you have to buy Stormblood (which comes with HW included) for $40. In a couple months when Shadowbringers releases you get SB and HW packaged with Shadowbringers when you buy it for the same price
FFXIV is a JRPG first and MMO second, it really doesn't matter when you start
Try the trial, it's unlimited time and you can get to 35 on all ARR jobs. It's right before the new expac and that twitch prime promo has a lot of new people joining.
To improve on Dragoon you increase uptime as much as possible.
To improve on the other three you stop playing them since they're trash.
What server do i move to if i want decent queue times but also not to play with ERP furfags and trannies
Tank.
Tank
Ultros has a good pop and is about to be segregated away from the ERP containment servers.
Any server on the Aether Data Center after tomorrow.
Primal is pretty good
mana
At level 60 in near full Alexander gear (weapon included), my BLM's Fire 4s are doing the same damage as my level 70 fully BiS shintens. BLM damage is absurd
Honestly at this point it's not worth the effort. Things will change a lot in 5.0 overall.
Also Aetherbros... we're free...
>also not to play with ERP furfags and trannies
You think they are all just going to stay on Crystal?
squareniggers i know you can hear me
remove Wildfire RIGHT FUCKING NOW
I am both excited and worried about that to be honest.
On one hand, this could be a breath of fresh air and make some jobs a lot funnier to play (see DRK/MCH).
But on the other hand, we are speaking of the team who made 3.0 AST, 4.0 SCH, and nerfed NIN damage because of a rotation that they didn't think about when they made the changes
>Remove Wildfire
>Overheat has no reason to exist
>By extension, Cooldown and Flamethrower have no reason to exist
>Ammo now has no reason to exist since it's only fucking purpose is negating RNG setting up a 3 - 2 - 3 combo during wildfire rota
MCH would be reduced to 5 buttons.
I have a feeling all three healers will end up worse to play overall than they are now with their "big changes".
>If you remove wildfire every bad mechanic mechanist has would cease to exist!
Sounds like a good start to me.
Back when I played in HW every single job wasnt fun to play anyway so reducing abilities isnt a negative.
Cool. I'll play the trial until the shadowbringers comes out and if I like it I'll buy it all then. Thanks anons.
Exactly? You fucking idiot? Mechy is a fucking clusterfuck of retardation. Heated, Slug and Clean Shot are all 50/50s for no reason, flamethrower exists for no reason, rapid fire and reassemble exist for no reason, turret overcharges exist for no reason and ammo absolutely exists for no reason BUT to prop up the parasite that is wildfire. Remove all the fucking garbage and give the class a reason to actually exist beyond a 10 second window so you can actually excel when you press buttons instead of your baseline being dependent on it.
I mean for fucks sake the Heated Split Heated setup before popping reload is literally fucking RNG dependent since a 4x coinflip has to lineup with the cooldowns or you just fail a fucking prerequisite for no goddamn R E A S O
N.
>White mage
Throw stones as much as possible, avoid your gcd heal unless neccessary. Pop Tetra, assize, etc first. Use regen and aero II to weave these during gcd. If you must gcd heal, use medica II for spread and cure III for stack, and cure ii for single target madness. Benediction is not an oh shit button, work with your tank so it works with their holmgang and living dead.
Good, keep those five buttons and redo the fucking Job. MCH is the most cancer shit in the game with RNG on top of RNG for even a fucking chance to do damage. And you'll still get shit on by anyone playing another class because at least their class always works.
Anybody know what this is? I can't read moon.
PvP gear.
Reward for the highest rankers in the next Feast season
New ranking reward for the Feast.
I wonder if SE will ever give those to the casuals
The butthurt would be glorious

They should since it's all win traders and cliques anyway that remain in PvP.
Whats the most fun class in the game?

OwO
Never played another MMO but WoW, how is FFXIV compared to it? Thinking of giving it a try. What class is most similar to the WoW's mage?
it's the mantra shitters like to repeat for not wanting to play despite the fact that you can easily get top 100 with a low platinum ranking
dunno if this is true but all of these get removed.
this is really good bait
only raidtrannies would do work hours to accomplish something i can obtain in an hour the expansion later
combat is more complicated and encounters are designed so you can learn everything without 3rd party addons, but you don't have much customization for your class. however you can level every class on a single character to make up for the lack of specs.
black mage is most similar
Dragoon for melee, Summoner for ranged, Warrior for tanks, Astrologian for healers.
Out of those, Astrologian.
>Doesn't know that MNK regularly replaces NIN in speedkills
i like that the second something gets posted on Yea Forums it becomes a """"leak"""""
black mage and samurai ironically
what class has the easiest/smallest rotation in the game
Veracity aside, I'm always torn on when devs remove shit like Protect. I mean, it's been ingrained into my membrane to cast it at the start of every instance, or after a raise where it matters. It's absolute jank, doesn't add anything interesting, and yet it'd be weird to see it go.
Same with WoW's 1h buffs like Power Word: Fortitude or whatever, just completely useless button on a hotbar, kind of, and yet there's something strangely appealing about those.
I really like Red Mage just for the weeb as fuck spender window.
I've played through all the jobs and keep going back to Black Mage each time.
Ok. I just logged on the site and I saw there are 2 games I could buy, realm reborn and complete edition? What's the difference between the two?
I don't really care about the win traders; I care about the fact that The Feast is the ONLY mode with exclusive, never-to-return rewards, despite the fact that it's a dogshit game mode nobody plays. Add it an expansion later or something, fuck, there's no reason the Magna Roader should be lost to time as a fucking feast reward.
Red Mage is really simple, but you'll be expected to raise people and off-heal if you do anything challenging.
It's most likely that cross class skills are just going to be removed.
I'm just jumping into this game, have a few questions.
How many Germans and Frenchies are shitting up the EU data centers? Is it a large enough issue to just go on the US?
How do you guys deal with keybinds? I'm looking to grab an MMO mouse (Scimitar) or a keypad thing (Tartarus V2), because I've never liked using shift, ctrl and alt and it's clear Paladin requires plenty of binds to play properly.
How often do annoying Lalafell players show up? They're obnoxious in these threads so I rather not run into them frequently in-game.
As a Paladin, at what level is the job complete enough to play? I know that from 30 on you get the tank stance, and that it takes way longer to get the full dps rotation, but do they feel too limited to play before that, or is it fun enough from level 30 and up?
Red Mage
>when you remove someone from your friends list you still show up on their friend list
>they can even see you when you're online
Protect shouldn't be removed, but instead turned into an active cooldown ala Palisade.
is there a fast way to level armorer to 61?
aaaAAA that's the worse in video games
A Realm Reborn is just the base game. Complete has every expansion, except maybe Shadowbringers, which comes out in July.
If you want more of a casual experience then you're better off going to US. I don't think I've seen a single FC recruitment in English since the split.
If you just join parties to raid, there's still plenty of English speakers with the usual one or two that exclusively seek Spanish/German/French speakers, it's just that the pool of people to play with is smaller.
Shitty change that should be reverted.
they are relics of old mmo design, powerful buffs you would ask for before going on an actual journey where you may not have access to them again for several hours, also they may cost some sort of limited reagent to cast. that or your party consisted of a specific support class that could perform one of the several long term buffs but not any of the others, and the rest of your party might be designed around that
>monk delusions
The operation on Aether has begun. Can the cancer be excised safely or is it too late?
>leaving Malboro
>no friends are online at this time
>no one in Rhalgr's or Kugane either
>no one to talk to anywhere in the server
>spend my last few minutes gazing at the crystal tower in Mor Dhona alone
Why was I here?
I remember Yoshi saying they were debating whether to remove Protect at the start of Stormblood, and only decided to keep it because it's an iconic Final Fantasy spell. I'd be fine if they removed it but if they could make it more interesting it'd be better.
I think those "long buff" type spells are a holdover from old MMOs where they were more interesting due to the spells having more exclusivity (i.e. you wouldn't always have a druid in the party, so bringing one along for mark of the wild was a unique benefit when they were there) and because of the more open-world nature of the games, where running across another player in the world who could buff you or provide some kind of unique service was actually useful. In XIV where every healer can use Protect, and you always have a healer, and open world content doesn't really exist, it's pointless.
which is the best server to move to? i
Cheers. I'll just stick with the US of A then. Seems a bit messy with the data centers but judging by forum posts, that has already been talked to death. It is what it is, I suppose.
-light is ger, chaos is french
-use keys you easily reach, click if you can't
-many lalas everwhere
-lv 50
levequests, collectibles, GC deliveries, namazu dailies, challenge log
just play it ;)
>White Mage
Memorize fights. 98% of the fights are based on a boss rotation, if you figure it out, you can optimize when to heal, how to heal and when it's ok to DPS or leave your party at low HP.
Also don't be one of those who WHM who spam Medica II, specially when the situation demands stronger heals like Cure III and Medica I
>How many Germans and Frenchies are shitting up the EU data centers? Is it a large enough issue to just go on the US?
It was never really a huge issue, occassionally you run into some dumbfuck Baguette that can't or simply refuses to speak English but that's relatively rare and most of the time so hilarious it'S prime material to shoot the shit about with your friends. The Germans are on Light and the French on Chaos nowadays, so if you just desperately want to avoid one or the other you can take your pick.
>How do you guys deal with keybinds? I'm looking to grab an MMO mouse (Scimitar) or a keypad thing (Tartarus V2), because I've never liked using shift, ctrl and alt and it's clear Paladin requires plenty of binds to play properly.
I use a Naga for instants and have GCD skills on my keyboard. You won't get around using some sort of modifier though. Pretty much all classes have 30+ skills, I think PLD has like 45 binds they need.
>How often do annoying Lalafell players show up? They're obnoxious in these threads so I rather not run into them frequently in-game.
There's only like one or two Lalafell players regularly in these threads though? There's a decent bunch of Lalafell around ingame, especially on the JP servers.
>As a Paladin, at what level is the job complete enough to play? I know that from 30 on you get the tank stance, and that it takes way longer to get the full dps rotation, but do they feel too limited to play before that, or is it fun enough from level 30 and up?
I'd say lv60 maybe. Most jobs don't really fall into place until 60, some even need all the way until 70 cap. Early gameplay is fucking boring and slow as shit no matter what class you play, thankfully it goes by pretty fast with all the adjusted exp rewards not really requiring you to run any dungeon more than once on your way to cap.
Frost Ma- I mean, Black Mage imo
But I find that most time you should just pick a class you like because you will probably make more of an effort to learn it and be better with it than others, even if they are easier to perform
na.finalfantasyxiv.com
tl:dr they're going to stress-test the World Visit system by spawning the Ixion fate on specific worlds at regular intervals and announcing it as a system message to everyone online.
nice
Why is it so easy to make friends when your a beginner but as soon as you hit end game nobody wants to even bat an eye when you talk in chat?

Crashing servers with no survivors.
Uhhh you don't get to bring ping.
the sprout icon makes anybody with it look cute
because everyone wants to help newbs but not high level players
stfu
is the df for the new primal and orbone aliance raid broken or is the game completely dead and noone wants to run that shit? nice free login campaign yoshi.
What's the difference? Can I reach max level on the base game and participate in end game content? What about classes?
Nobody is going to do Orbonne today. It's on a weekly lockout, it will be a nigh on insta-pop after the reset tomorrow
also before you consider buying, there is a free trial

Level caps and new jobs are locked to their respective expansions. You have to proceed through main story quests to gain access to new jobs in the second expansion and Red Mage and Samurai are locked behind a level requirement along with just owning the third expansion.
>click if you can't
Holy fuck, why would you advise this to anybody? Fucking retard.
Who else /only logs in to play mahjong/ here?
whens the battle system overhaul live letter anyway? seems like there is zero hype
reminder that the world first ucob clear was with a drk(when everyone laughed about drk) who clicked a lot of his skills
Not the dude you're responding to, but that's such shit design. RDM is the easiest job in the game so there's no reason to lock it behind level 50, it's even worse with HW jobs that need you to be 50, past 2.x, but come unlocked as level 30.
I wish it actually awards something worthwhile. I'll play it once in a while to get my fix but when games last an hour or so it feels a bit disappointing not getting anything for it.

HELP
mid - late may
benchmark is late april - early may
How to gear for content past in 4.3+? I stopped playing on stormblood launch so I'm only at 320 but I need 335+ for everything. I unlocked one of the alliance raids but that only drops 330.
There's zero hype because there's zero information. Their understaffed team is working on an extremely tight schedule so they probably don't even have anything final to tell us at the moment. Please look forward to it.
Just farm Genesis tomestones, the cap is 900/week now.
that and the team is also working on a secret project. its gonna be a shitshow
>and the team is also working on a secret project
Not the same people.
I don't think there is a single person that would disagree. I personally believe that at the very least, those jobs should be available at character creation as long as you own the expansion. But I guess that would be too much work for SE.
i just do roulettes and eventually i cap on mendacity and genesis which will get you 360 and 390 gear respectively
unlock the other 24 mans and alphascape for some 360 and 380 gear
What's the easiest way to farm them? I can't to daily dungeons because I still need to unlock stuff
Yeah, no, I just keep being reminded of it every time there's a new person. Maybe in 7.0.
Because helping a newbie takes only 20 minutes, because all they'll need is your assistance with a queue so you can subsequently steamroll some braindead leveling dungeon.
Helping a levelcap player meanwhile involves spending potentially 90+ minutes coaching them through a mechanic-heavy dance, and the second you help them with one fight they'll need your help with another that's equally involved.
For all people complain about idiots fucking up their party finder listings, and don't get me wrong- by god they fucking do, it's also Square Enix's fault for failing abysmally to educate players properly and to actually incentivise helping people.
No, more tomestones and a second-chance point is not a good enough reward, to offset the fact that if you're coaching someone through a tough fight when it already cuts your loot drops in half.
oh no they got him
I love playing but I have shockingly low attention span and find it hard to commit to doing something that I know is probably gonna take 30 minutes or more.
PvP is one way.
Alternatively just spam the highest level dungeon you have unlocked.
send them a mog mail with your contact if yo ucare that much
I'm not even talking about help. I'm just talking about casual talk. It seems logging into an FC is just saying Hi and that's it lmao
they do it so they dont have to design new weapons for the lower levels which sucks though because a normal looking level 1 rapier sounds really fucking cool
Don't forget about job quests they would have to make.
>log into an FC, smash down that /fc
>"Hey, user, what's happening, how's x?"
>silence
>someone else greets me
>"Oh hey, user 2, you get your y yet?"
>"yes"
>end of conversation
Our small FC is usually lively but still you get some really weird dead air. I guess sometimes people just want to play and not talk, I generally try to friends and strangers alike but some days I just power down and silently play the game.
Same reason, ultimately.
The way endgame is structured (endgame raids only allow 8 players, and are very difficult; you can only clear it once per week for loot, and you can't go back to lower floors- you're locked out until the weekly reset) corrals people into 8-man statics. It's the only way to make meaningful, consistent progress and effectively farm.
When it only takes one moron to make a fight unwinnable, and there are a lot of them, it cultivates an attitude of "fuck you, got mine" and makes people unwilling to socialise outside their friend group. FFXIV also doesn't support voice chat so those players look elsewhere to things like Discoid for coordinating raids, and Discoid has a chat function so why bother using in-game chat at that point? Just stay night and cozy in your little in-group and merely exchange pleasantries with strangers, because with the way Duty Finder is structured you'll never see them again.
>that and the team is also working on a secret project

About the PvP win trade thing. I spoke to a friend of mine that won the feast tournament at fanfest this year. He said that win trading is definitely something a few people do but it's generally looked down upon, he was really passionate about getting me into PvP and kept telling me that win trading is just a myth. He has no reason to lie to me so I'm gonna believe him.
TL;DR you're all salty baddies that can't get good at PvP
Yeah that's what really sucks. Every FC seems to need a discord chat but it's just as awkward in there.
Am I just an autist? Am I hanging out with a bunch of normies? Why the fuck is it so hard to initiate a conversation with people in game?
I only have level 50 and 60 roluettes, still worth it?
No?
Do your highest level dungeons. You may have to go around unlocking them; some are unlocked via the story.
Alternatively just spam Frontline Roulette.
Depends if you chat people and get silence or if you just have a hard time squeezing yourself into conversations. The latter probably just means you might not be gelling with the FC. Ours has Discord but we still use in-game FC chat and linkshells.
PVP is just not fun. FL and RW are both poorly designed mess and Feast is impossible to queue into and inside, impossible to communicate because SE is too scared that somebody might get feefees hurt. I already have PVE teams I don't have time to get PVP teams together for... no fucking reasonable reward.
Socializing as an adult is difficult in general. No one really wants to talk to people they don't already know well.

Dunno. Real life I have an easy time meshing with people. Just keep getting left on read in game though.

What?
Me: "Hey guys, what are you up to?"
Silence
Few seconds later

What are the best classes for PvP?
I was planning on going in as a NIN but I can't seem to kill fast enough before they dip.
It's just a themepark you know.
Think of it in terms of themepark, what happens in a real life themepark.
You go in with your group of friends maybe 4, 8 friends and you don't talk to strangers there. When you go to disneyland do you strike conversations with strangers? No. It's exactly the same.
Yoshi-P truly managed to replicate the themepark experience.
So you're being ignored.
No idea what the fuck you meant by
>left on read
Frontline or Wolves Den?
Frontline is definitely BRD/MCH.
Nah. I always keep the conversation going if they answer but almost every first few weeks in a new fc this always happens.
MCH/BRD are incredibly strong. Ninja is really good as well, you have a lot of utility, a stun, a silence, a root and a slow, amazing at killing healers

That explains it. No i never used those.
>Hey user
>How is it going?
Good? Everytime. What else I'm supposed to say, if you don't have anything interesting to say, why even start conversation?
>I'm going to not enjoy my life and talk to friends just to SPITE you normies!!
Oh.
Why couldn't you just say "they're ignoring me" or "they're not replying" like, I hesistate to use the the term, normal person?
I always tell them some stupid shit I did recently, don't ever just say "Good" that's a conversation killer. Just tell them anything at all even if you think it's dumb as fuck like "oh I just came back from the beach" or whatever and watch the conversation keep going
>I'm going to not enjoy my life and talk to friends
I talk to my friends either IRL or on Discord.
Oh.
Why couldn't you just search the term on Google you dumb autist?
I didn't make the original post first of all. And man just fuck off with that shit you're constantly using Yea Forums slang but the moment somebody says something you don't understand it's constant bitching from animeposting retards and lots of "normie" thrown around fucking pathetic
Joke's on you, it's actually used as a plot device of sorts in Aobuta. I needed my wife to explain it to me.
I'm sure that's what you did in 2010 when discord didn't exist yet
>acting standoffish and holier than thou over using facebook slang on fucking Yea Forums of all places
I think I'm starting to see a picture here, why these people are not responding to you. It might be you.
Steam, IRC and Skype existed back then. We used all those, occasionally Teamspeak too. Especially Skype before it went to shit.
>what is an anonymous
Yeah I sure made all those posts talking about how I'm socially awkward! Man you got me there, I'm totally not just some anonymous who knew what OP meant instead of making a fuss while posting retarded anime girls
>Ultimate prog bottlenecked again by female healer
>Absolutely impossible to find a replacement at this point, especially in EU and she knows it
My God I'd give my right testicle to have 2 healbros instead of just 1. Fuck women.
>EU
There's your problem. Lag beats dealing with EUfaggotry.
I knowingly kill conversations with people I don't know very well who ask me "what's up?" or "how's it going?" I don't like repeating myself and I get the "how are you?" question several times a day. I prefer actual conversations and discussions, miss me with that "sup homie" shit.
As someone who played in all regions, the only way to avoid faggotry is to learn Japanese
>2 healbros in my static
>We clear the entire tier in a month
>1 healbro and a thot
>We clear in 4 months
>2 thots
>We clear in 6 months and it took us 1 hour and 40 minutes to re-clear O12S after we had killed it 11 times already
There's a lot that can go wrong of course and it probably wasn't 100% the healers' fault but it's just fucking insane to think about how it took ages longer to clear as soon as women joined
Just drop some light jokes like "Reminder to fix your posture, you know who you are." Into the chat for a few back and forth. If you are looking for a conversation join the fc discord.
>Discoid
I laughed
I never understood what the issue is with discord. I've had FC people join the FC discord and we immediately became good friends and play a lot of games outside of FFXIV. What's the problem?

The problem is, seemingly, that it drains interaction away from the game and shifts it into discorsd, resulting in cliques becoming even tighter. Joining a discord now beomes a prerequisite for "becoming good friends" with someone instead of just playing the game togetehr with them. While I am not entirely convinced that this is the case, there is at least some evidence that it did damage to the social component of the game.
>Join a static with a girl in it

I thought this was just a myth. She ended up going out with some other dude outside of the group. Found an image of the guy, hes a Chad.
Is Exodus a good server? I just got the game against after playing for a teeny tiny bit in beta. Thinking of rolling up a White Mage.
Was it any different back with mumble, Skype, teamspeak, ventrilo, xfire?
The only problem is the old content that you'll be playing for over 100 hours is so easy and everyone is so overgeared that you'll just blow through it. The story builds up to these huge confrontations and you'll just assrape them into oblivion.
That's the main point of anyone complaining about discord, its gravitational pull. Everyone moves to discord and you can either move too or become stranded and since discord is not topic-focused it becomes invaded almost by things that are not on-topic.
Discord was present when ARR launched but it became much more popular and wildly used by FFXIV players over the years.
Can someone explain why Hagakure>Midare? I haven't played SAM in awhile but I just did some math from memory with wiki help; Haga gives 60 kenki max, which at best is 600 potency from two Shintens, or 800 from Guren if it's up. Kaiten+Midare is 1080. Am I missing something?
bs, since not blufever
also, nin needs hide for early quests
Those things were present, but they were hardly used for casual chatting besides skype due to being less accessible or resource hungry, like skype. Mumble, Raidcall, Vent and TS in particular were only used for very intense encounters/group pvp/raiding and then it was back to the in game chats.
the effective potency of midare is reduced by its cast time, while the kenki you gain can be used on instant casts between gcds
are you a member of Mensa? if not I'm afraid you'll have to stop playing sam
weave that shit in while you're building sen and then blow the nigga up with a kaiten midare

JP housing will be superior to NA because japs are ok with spending days at a time grinding submarines and other shit to be able to have 10 candles and crafting mats. Because of this their market board is god tier for inexpensive buying.
Unless you pay that one tumblrina 60m gil to just buy everything for you and do it herself for e-points.
None of that stuff really had good text-based chatroom functions. They had them, but using them was often a pain in the ass and didn't really work as a substitute for in-game chats, so they were really only used when the voice chat features were needed. Discord basically unified all the necessary game-based communication features into one program that's really easy to set up and use and it pretty quickly became universal.
I don't really see the big deal about Discord. Using it is effortless and it has all the same functionality as in-game chats and more, except you have it open all the time instead of just when you're playing, so it's easier to stay in touch with people you play with. Most FCs that use them just have them publicly accessible so it's not like they're being kept as a secret club.
The only thing I don't like about it is that it's gotten so big that now people are starting to move useful resources onto discord servers instead of easily searchable webpages like wikis. If you have some question about XIV and you google it, you've got about a 50/50 chance of getting some outdated reddit thread with info from early Heavensward.

>tfw Limsa on RP world isn't shit because none of the fags hang around the place
Did you not see the announcement you literally have to click Okay for in order to get to character selection?
Wait, did the degenerate hangout change from Ul'dah to Limsa?
i'm sorry to hear that
which fight are you progging and how far did you get?
It's only Ul'dah on Balmung and Mateus. On every other server it's Limsa.
As said, limsa is only save on the RP worlds (Mateus & Balmung), because they're all in Ul'dah. On non-rp servers, limsa is where all the furies, baras, trannies, erp degens hangout if it isn't a dead server.
t. fag with multiple characters.
Well, shit. Maybe I should just bite the bullet and switch to Maelstrom already.
Limsa just seems to be THE hangout place on nearly every server, RP or not.
I’m on Cactuar and I see people sitting by each other, emotes flying around, idling people doing synchronized dance emotes, and all that stuff.
Though I hear that Ul’dah is still pretty much the ERP capital on RP servers.

I hope we can get a 4th Iaijutsu technique in Shad. Not sure how to do it though. 0 sens but you have some buff on you to be able to use it?
Because ARR is shit unless you really have the patience for it.
It's not like a lot of mmos on the market and it's easy to miss a shit ton of random world building because people are used to shit not being there.
You're both on Yea Forums so I doubt either of you are very good.
I'm sure you're better than I who has hardcore raided in WoW for years before switching to XIV. This has absolutely nothing to do with my post though you insecure little man.
100 kenki and 3 sen lets you do a free limit break
>Patience.
Do you have adhd?
You know the pacing in ARR is shit take off those nostalgia tinted glasses.
Welcome to the master race
Notice how this guy doesn't mention raiding in FFXIV, as if the HP sponges in WoW matter
I wish Lalafell where real
They could give us as much Iaijutsu as Ninja has Ninjutsu, if they made the Iaijutsu work similarly.
Alternatively they could give a shit ton of Iaijutsu if they made certain Iaijutsu require certain Sen in certain order.
>I don't want other people to skip the story, they HAVE TO play through the marvel superhero-tier arr story and then through edgy cringefest heavensward
Whoever adapted Amanos DRG design is a genius, the XIV design works look sweet
The guy behind the music is a fucking god too
SE can still go fuck themselves though, it really feels like this game only exists to pump money out of whales while reinvesting as little as possible to give players half assed scraps of content to keep them just interested enough. The SB content they revealed is a joke.
You can also get exp bonuses out of the ass these days and pretty much only do story quests and dungeons.
You can even get your chocobo for almost free now.
You forgot to give me a (you).
>skipping half the game won't negatively effect the person's ability to play
Let's not pretend the majority of people who play video games are geniuses, user.
Do you have to pay for a job skip too, or does the story skip at least boost your starting class appropriately too?
Getting to corethas and the 100 post patch quests are the only serious dips in interest I remember. Everything else was at least bearable.
>i hate story, so i bought the jrpg with the most long winded and branching plot threads of all time then paid extra to skip it
Jobs and story are separate purchases as far as I know.
mmos are last generation's gacha games
made to turn minimum budget into big profits by exploiting addicted faggots with too much money
except gachas are incredibly more efficient at it
>You can even get your chocobo for almost free now.
>GC Chocobo
>Ishgardian Chocobo
Since when were these not free?
>Whoever adapted Amanos DRG design is a genius, the XIV design works look sweet
That set is based on Cecil's dark knight sprite.
I sure as fuck remember paying GC seals for my chocobo.
Not that they were hard to get, but they didn't just give it to me.
Back when I played and had to do a bunch of extra fates to get enough seals to buy it.
>I bought a final fantasy game to not play through the story
I actually only have a problem with people who buy job skips because none of them niggers read tooltips.
Job skip if you want to blast through the MSQ due to being over geared as well as OHKO any on field mobs. Story skip if you actually want to waste money because you're still level 1 and can't advance unless you manually level a class+job to 50/60.
>running 50 dungeons where you are mindlessly following the mentor who was unlucky enough to be queued with you makes you better at the game
we both know it's not like that
Wut? It's based off of Kain.
When I started they were 2k seals and I had to do a few FATEs for it.
Roulette (as a tank) will get you enough seals. Guess I just never had to think about grinding them since they're always in need.
ask me how I know you started playing yesterday
>experience doesn't make you better at playing video games
Some, like you, are just fucking horrid by nature and no amount of experience will change that.
The GC chocobo used to cost 2000 seals, which meant you would probably have to go out and do a little bit of hunting log or fate/leve grinding to get enough. Now it costs 200 seals and the game gives you 200 seals just for finishing the quest to join a GC.
No, the Heavensward set is based off of Kain. The set in OP is based off of Cecil's dark knight sprite as you can clearly see in the picture I posted The set shown in OP originally wasn't designed for Dragoons. It was designed as a marauder gear set and then was adapted into a Dragoon set when they introduced jobs.
>he wasted all that MSQ experience leveling a tank
Fucking lmao.
quite some time ago, you used to have to farm SOME seals to get a chocobo. now you LITERALLY get it for free, you have to do like one fate now.
what I think and wrote simply derives from thousands of hours in this game where I ran hundreds of dungeons with leaves at level 40+ that still didn't know how a stack marker works
Like I said, not all learn from experience.
Well there are some people that just shut their brains off and refuse to take in information to learn.
For reference here's the set based on Kain.
>yesterday
Try not needing to buy a chocobo since 2016 faggot
That explains it.
I remember grinding FATEs for mine.
Wasn't it like 16000 seals before?
Also remember the old stuck emote bug?
Reminder that you can force skip cutscenes in prae by closing the game and relogging
Tell your friends, save everyone ~20mins of their lives
>Wasn't it like 16000 seals before?
Absolutely not, the ARR max GC rank cap for GC seals was 20000. You were nowhere near max rank when you joined your first GC.
>THE ENTIRE SHB TRAILER IS A META COMMENTARY ON THE STATE OF WOW AND THE WOW FANBASE
Delusional.
reported to yoship
iirc it was 2k seals?
?
It's pointless if it's only you.
>fucking game is always down for 24 hour maintenance when I have a day off
I fucking hate the Japanese. What the fuck do you expect me to do all day now?
Shitpost.
Wew lad, the story one is a straight rip off, how the fuck did they get away with that?
At least the job skip gives you shire gear which means you're set until the first stormblood dungeon; and 300k gil which you can build on with all the extra gil you'll be getting through the story. Hell at 60 in shire gear, you could probably do it all in a weekend skipping cutscenes and not being a DPS.
No matter what day or time they put it into maintenance, there is always, ALWAYS some whiny nigger taking it as a personal fucking offense.
>autism
I think you might be right, it could have been 2000 seals.
That was still a ton of grinding if I recall. You'd get like 100 from a FATE in Quarrymill.
Also here's another blast from the past: remember farming Praetorium/Castrum Meridianum for Philo tomes?

Harass your friends into playing the game, teach them to be as good, or even better, players than yourself and then discuss the game with them.

Literally only with friends if you have any into this game.

I'm interested in ROG/NIN losing Trick Attack the most because it'll allow them to grow from being a Trick slave, theoretically their design should revolve around mudras, speed, and their other support-abilities but Trick is so highly valued that everyone thinks the job revolves around that instead. Either that or they skip the busywork and move Trick's effects to Suiton instead of the current set-up where Suiton only exists as a set-up jutsu for Trick.

I guess I will just stick to the degeneracy in XIV. I rather do that than ever log into shitfest that is modern WoW ever again.
Glad I get to stay on Primal. Who's getting moved and are you transferring back or staying on Crystal?
>it's 2019 and people still don't know how akh morn works
I do apologise. I'll stop.
Was just sort of getting carried away with my trip down memory lane.
The Shroud's not been very relevant for the past few patches. Most of ARR zones have actually. It's kind of sad, because there's nothing to utilise the new mount speed increase in them.
Because there's more to this game than raiding?
Did you blow diversion on the transition phase?
And tanks will complain about you not using Diversion when they literally can't lose aggro if they use their enmity combo once.
Confirmed fake
Is it so bad that Varis wants to give the fake echo to people so that they all could be merged into the perfect being and get rid of all asiens?
Gotta thank Blizz for fucking over my favorite classes so many times that I have a permanent WILL NEVER TOUCH WOW AGAIN buff.

Wrong, use diversion idiot
I can pretty much guarantee you didn't.
Thread's already too far gone even if you didn't post. Just mentioned that we've already got that box checked off technically.
I've played SMN at 70 back when Stormblood first came out at the very least decently enough to clear SSS before Omega came out and it felt less obnoxious than this is just at 50. Maybe I'm just out of practice? But the random procs and the changes to my GCD throw me off.
i also don't want to see your slutty catgirl but i don't complain about your sexually frustrated incel taste on Yea Forums
No. Tank was severely undergeared though, so that was probably the reason.
BRD was a lot more complicated back in 2.0 with all the cooldowns you had to manage. Then songs also decreased dps, so not many sang in order to maintain high dps
>that cluttered HUD
Reconsider your choices.
Honestly guys, this whole sundered universe thing is just silly. Let's stop fighting and just rejoin everything back to where it belongs. And FUCK H*daelyn
No it wasn't, you just didn't know how to play
>Wrong, use diversion idiot
It isn't, and I do.
The fact that your fragile ego probably can't take is that I do more DPS than you, so me dying because your shitter ass is incapable of holding aggro is more of a detriment to the party than you using your enmity combo.
Your DPS does not matter, nigger.
I believe they're trying to say unread but they're just an uneducated buffoon.
So how is RDM? I started one up but I haven't seen too many people playing that job.
this is only a "problem" because dumb westerns do not respect the content and spend hours trying to figure out how to save minutes on a run
Bring back HW pvp
It's easy to play, so that in addition to dualcast raises makes it great for progression. It has a low damage ceiling though so a lot of groups will want you to switch to BLM or SMN once they don't need the raises anymore.
>I haven't seen too many people playing that job
Really? It's one of the most popular jobs.
>Atleast the Trannies in XIV have basic pattern recognition skills and can read at a third grade level
Apologize to Construct-7.
Great, it might be boring for some people, but actually it feels good to play it.
I'm on Exodus and I never really see people around here talk about it. It seems like a fine server to me
I thought it was boring aside from the jumping you get to do. The in/out jumps can only be executed every 30(?) or so seconds. The rez is nice though.
literally what else does BLM do? You bring 3 things: Addle (useless for regular content), Mana shift (almost useless if your healers have at least 3 braincells) and a fuck ton of DPS.
RDM is a progression job.
The free resurrections give you a massive buffer for failure when learning mechanics.
Once you've got the mechanics downpat though and it becomes a matter of clearing DPS checks you sub RDM out for other jobs. They were common as dirt earlier into the expansion but their safety/comfort is no longer needed.
Play what you like though. The important thing is that you're having fun, no matter what Yea Forums tells you.
One aggro combo won't be enough to keep up with MNK because their threat reduction is bad or retard SAMs that don't use eyes if the fight is longer than a few minutes and the there are no shirks. If you play correctly as any other job you will not take hate. Tank DPS does matter and you probably suck ass.
DPS main btw
Maybe Hydaeyn wants a Flood of light to happen. Sure, it hurts her, but she's weak enough as is and she knows that even when the !st is saved, an Ascien will go there and start things up again. If it becomes a void, it can't be rejoined,thus preventing Zodiark's rebirth
spoken like a true greylet.
I have to centralize all my important shit on the left side of the keyboard since I have a shitty hand disablity, so it's admittedly all clustered around WASD, but if I can manage SMN's piano recital back when people thought you used Garuda in STB then I should be fine playing whatever, right?
>he didn't buy an apartment before server transferring for free money
RDM is a progression job in the sense that it took some progression for the community to realize they aren't even useful for progression thanks to SMN existing.
I'm a brainlet and been playing RDM after I got btfo trying to figure out BRD. RDM just feels fun to play to me. I dunno if there are other classes that are good for morons but I'll probably stick with RDM for the foreseeable future. I don't really plan to do any really high end content anyway.
Maybe they'll reduce diversions cd?
can i get sauce on the image
Jesus fucking christ almighty what in the world is that UI
They're deleting it
spread the content respect mentality to the rest of the players. if your mt is using an offensive stance he is not respecting the content and you should tell him to switch to a defensive one
Someone tell me which jobs are the most keybind intensive? so I can put them off until later
I am somewhat thrown off by the jumping in and out of melee combat but I like it. You don't see many classes in any MMO doing that. It feels unique.
tank's dps stance should be on a cooldown like they did with healers
I just use RDM as my dps alt when I need to free up the healing slot. I just don't enjoy dps in FFXIV all that much, I really like BLM but I play dps so rarely that I keep forgetting the intricacies of BLM and I don't want to play it suboptimally. So, RDM it is. And I get to scrape up the healers occupying my slot off the floor, to establish superiority.
only good post itt
i imagine all role actions will be condensed/packed into other abilities. Diversion will likely be a culled ability since it's purpose is just 'press button to stop enmity generation' which can be replaced by just buffing tanks enmity generation/abilities or nerfing dps enmity
AST, NIN, PLD, DRG. Whenever I play any other class it feels like I have half as many buttons.
>hasn't unlocked Iron Jaws yet
I suggest you switch to another job if you can't manage your shit at level 50
You ready to beta test, anons? I still need a few ixion horns so this is a good thing for me. Was worried I'd never get the mount since I missed the initial rush.
That's weird, meant to quote as first post.
imagine being this boring.
Not him, but it looks cluttered as fuck because of the resolution. Fuck huge icons.
He was using Shield oath, he just had garbage gear. It was really close to hitting my cds, I think I was something like ~13 seconds from lucid coming up.
What do you mean by keybind, just pressing buttons in general?
Bards and Dark Knights press the most buttons. Generally physical damage dealers press more thanks to ogcds and casters press less.
>"""""""""progression"""""""""""
progressing to fucking what? Who buys into this shit
>tanks being the blue DPS they are being incapable of keeping hate means they should always be in tank stance
I know you're being sarcastic, but your arguments are pretty disingenuous to the problem.
If a Black Mage uses their threat reducing abilities correctly, and still takes hate, it's on the tank, not the BLM.
Maybe not for your static, but for a slower (ie. purple/blue) progression group it's a big boon.
No.
Again play what you like. If you're not doing raids then you're not bothering anyone, unlike the dipshits that don't know their job and then stumble into PF groups looking for a carry.
My issue is I'm only good at healing, and while I don't really enjoy it any more I'm too retarded for any DPS job. I've tried NIN, BLM, and even SAM and RDM, and I just can't wrap my head around it.
Summoner, Scholar, Paladin (although you don't use a lot of their abilities regularly) and i think Ninja

Nigger are you fucking stupid? Or do you only do a fight months after it comes out and you have a nice easy guide and timetables to follow?
Blue Mage is a fucking joke.

How does this half baked shitty job just keep getting worse and worse. So now i need to either queue with other blue mages, or get someone else to waste their time helping me? Fuck this stupid job.
Progressing into the later fights in a given tier, or inside a given fight.
Want to know how I know you've never done a raid tier while it was current?
