If I have never played an MMO in my life, would this be a good first one? Is it too late to get into?

It has the biggest LGBT Community of all MMORPGs. Besides it is the melting pot of all degenerates. LGBT, weebs, 30 year old virgins who pretending to be cute girls, etc.

1.X and 2.0 was a good time. Really nice community around. Even dude bros. but after that... oh boy. Most toxic place of all mmorpgs.

>You'll take about 200 hours to complete the story

Thats a lie and you know it. You need max 30h to reach endlevel if you skip the story dialogues.

There's a free trial that allows you to play it to level 35. Focus on getting through the MSQ since everything is gated behind it, including endgame dungeons.

The LGBT is only on the Aether datacenter

Crystal is relatively fine as long as you avoid Mateus or Balmung

>it's not even a real FF
>it's better than FFX, XII, XIII and XV
Fuck off barry.

I think it's literally impossible with 30h even with skips. Maybe 80h.

Also if he skips story he might as well skip the game entirely. Not like FF14 distinguishes itself with a below average end-game, he could play any other MMO for that alone.

That's your opinion barry.

t-this is how a good community feels eh`?

It's not remotely FF other than the skin it wears on its theme park, its not a real FF in the slightest

>reading is hard

this

its mostly asia standard grind mmo with SOME FF elements on top like the spells names and summons

It's a good MMO but I'll tell you right now it starts out very slow and takes until 50+ for jobs to do more than 1 2 3.

Congratulations, you're now realizing that tanking is so easy even a monkey could do it.

This morning's DRG buff is causing MASSIVE butthurt in the jap community, including the OF and it's fucking hilarious.
The butthurt is so intense even jap DRG mains are getting embarrassed at their job's current state.

Here's a quote from the jap OF's DRG thread

>"As a DRG main I am happy to get this buff, but, let me say that THE TIMING FOR THIS BUFF'S RELEASE WAS THE WORST POSSIBLE. There are other jobs, namely monk, samurai, ninja who are extremely dissatisfied with their current state, and this buff to our job, which was already very good as in SB and got a damage buff on top of that, is making DRG get a LOT of (BAD!) attention on the on forums and on the various social networks. You should have released this in patch 5.05. This is clearly shedding bad light on us."
The jap SAM thread gained 4 pages in two hours which is a lot for the jap OF.
Some were suggesting to "stop with the fucking dragoon favoritism already, we get it, why don't you rename the game to Dragoon Fantasy XIV A Dragoon Reborn, with the expansions Dragoonsward, Dragoonblood and Dragoonbringers".
5ch and the comments in the matome blogs, as well as twitter are in the same vein.
Even as a SAM main I'm thoroughly enjoying this.
This said, please do buff us properly in 5.05. I want damage close to BLM levels, thank you. Oh, and do something with Shoha.

>Sense of progression is all fucked up. The first boss of the first tier feels like it should have been the last boss of the last tier. The last boss of the tier feels like a midboss and beating it doesn't make you feel like you've "cleared" anything, instead you're like "oh, that's it?"
>They ran out of boss concepts to lift from other games so now they're literally just reusing their own bosses. Even though the models and mechanics and stuff are different, I want to see new concepts not just rehashes of old stuff.
>More music that's just remixes of earlier works, again just a lack of originality, I want new shit not repackaged old shit.
>Sense of place is fucked up, you have no idea where you are when you get transported to the boss arenas, there's no little hallways or instance or anything leading up to the bosses, it's just bam, suddenly you're in a wildly different location with absolutely no sense of how you got there. When you travel to the new arena the screen literally just goes black and an NPC says "okay, we're here!". It's like there are cutscenes missing.
>Story makes absolutely no fucking sense. Why the fuck do we summon primals just to kill them? In every other area of the story primal summoning is always unequivocally a bad thing, it does nothing but fuck everything up and make things worse. But now suddenly it's good. The reasons given to you about why you have to do it are extremely vague and basically glossed over. It's EXTREMELY contrived lore just to justify having a boss fight.

So you cant read then?
>Aether is biggest LGBT datacenter

>Except Balmung and Mateus, avoid those

In otherwords, ANY other server on Crystal is fine, except Balmung and Mateus

That's why he said avoid balmung you dumb EOP.

SAM doesn't require time consuming adjustments, it's probably only gonna be pot increases (if we do get something). We'll get NIN, MNK and SAM adjustments in 5.05, I'm not too worried.

The LAST thing SAM needs is any sort of buff, period. It's the highest parsing melee in the game.
In fact, NONE of the melee dps needs a buff except for NIN, who does like 60% the damage of SAM because 'lol muh trick attack'.

Trick attack needs to be removed from the game. Or changed to effect only the Ninja. Then buff NIN DPS to viable levels.

Inb4 some autist goes "B-BUT M-M-MUH RAID UTILITY!" WHAT raid utility? TA is literally it and it promotes the most cancerous standards of "oh hey its okay that you a MELEE DPS does garbage DPS because you have TA!" Fuck that.

When the general playerbase starts getting around to it over the next week you'll see a lot more morons.

alrighty then nerf DRG and MNK, who have utility and SAM doesn't.
And nerf MCH too by the way, they're ranged and can always and easily have 100% uptime on the boss.
You do need to settle down, though, everyone knows NIN is shit currently and it's gonna get its fixes. It doesn't have to be at the other jobs' detriment, too.

SAM doesn't need utility because (and this is YOUR ARGUMENT not mine) it has the highest DPS in the game of all the melees.

Frankly I think it's fucking sickening that the most braindead, retard-proof job in the entire game, SAM, gets to have the highest DPS.

People doing it this early may actually give a shit about their performance. Just try again during the weekend.

Is it really a buff? They have to reapply it doing AOE combos still

>action combat

The problem is that the context was already explosive (the japs love trolling and flaming the fuck of each other on the Internet and it can get quite violent, they use the anonymity provided by the Internet to vent), so this morning's adjustment was the spark that made the whole thing explode. The best hint that show the devs knew the situation was bad is that little note saying that more balance changes and adjustements will come in 5.05. They put that in, hoping people wouldn't get mad. It failed spectacularly.

I only played FF11 for a bit, so FF14 is the only one I’ve really dedicated myself to. I’ve been playing on and off since launch on PS3 and I’ve enjoyed it quite a bit. It’s real easy to get into, however there’s a ton of catching up to do and the pacing for the early game fucking sucks. You have very few abilities, combat is boring, and the story is only okay at best. Once you get closer to Lv50 and beyond, then the game really starts to pick up but that’s a pretty big fucking investment. My main recommendation is to not bother with an MMO at all, but if you do want to play one, and it helps a ton if you’re a FF fan, then this is a good one to try out. If you want to check it out, I did a review video on it that goes a little more in detail, but I’ve already laid out the important shit above; it’s just a huge timesink, but it’s hardly “impossible” to catch up. youtu.be/9KZbjAmYRRQ

why aren't you feeling equally sick at DRG and BLM, who are also braindead (only slightly less than SAM)? You're talking about SAM, but SAM isn't doing enough damage to justify its lack of utility. It should be doing BLM tier damage, not DRG/MNK damage. As it is currently, SAM DRG and MNK do more or less the same amount of damage and it just means people will take DRG (or MNK but much less) in raids instead.

Why do trannies always like reshade for some weird reason?

That's not how patches work

Because DRG and BLM actually require 2 (but only 2) braincells to play.
A fucking vegetable could play SAM and do well.

You don't just pick this up and mess around with it like a WoW expansion. If you don't get invested with the story and major characters you will probably not enjoy this game. There are hours and hours and hours of main story quests which you must complete in order before you get the latest content.

Endlevel, as in Lv80? Why would you lie? I literally did a speedrun of the free trial and it took me about 15 hours just to reach Lv35. Don’t spread misinformation like this, there’s a lot of bullshit to get through in this game. Not to mention that speeding through the story turns the game into a chore and removes one of the only good things about it.

>4 weeks
oh no no no no...

XIV has washed out colors out the ass

i do it because i have anxiety, but they all end up being really easy, especially now. the game used to be less visual and uniform so maybe those old dungeons, with different per-boss mechanics and telegraphs, are actually harder than 60-80 ones, where you can handle every mechanic by consistent visualizations alone.

Well, how do they work?

I know its not weekly and likely longer. That's why I said "at the earliest".

Sounds boring.
The fun of new content is figuring out mechanics and recovering from your fuckups.

Give me a link, I want to have a laugh.

There isnt going to be patch 5.0.2

I watch guides for older dungeons because I hate disappointing people, that's why I love playing expansions on release since no one has any clue whats going on and wipes to understand mechanics are normal and expected.

oh and further more the the ShB standard seems to be that no single mechanic can kill you in isolation - but rather, they give Vuln stacks, so they only kill you if you keep fucking it up multiple times.

But it does work on the big wave

As much as I have enjoyed shb I still agree with this post. While the mechanics in boss fights have improved dramatically and they’ve improved on overworld mechanics like fates, everything else has been a straight downgrade since arr, especially class and dungeon design.

>it promotes the most cancerous standards of "oh hey its okay that you a MELEE DPS does garbage DPS because you have TA!" Fuck that.

The game can look a lot better with it, removing the geen-grey fog that's everywhere.

It makes sense to me. You're drawing out massive amounts of element-aspected aether and you don't know how it will behave if you just let it go and do it's own thing, so you instead choose to shape it into a primal, then kill the primal to harmlessly disperse all the element-aspected aether.

>Titan still filtering plebes even with resurrection if you fall off
10/10 fight, would not be mad at all if the savage version doesnt have a super mode

Doesn't the MSQ give you a free fantasia or did you use that already?

>How is this meant to help? How does this contain the element? Why is summong a primal suddenly a good idea?
Because Primals are massive aetheric manifestations of the elements. Kill the primal and the aether will scatter freely across The Empty. If we just shoot a bunch of aether at the ground and Eden decides to fuck it up due to being an unstable SIN EATER we're fucked. We need to minimise the amount of time Eden has control over the aetherial dissipation, hence primals.

I like the new Gunbreaker sound effects. The attacks sound really heavy and meaty now. It doesn't have the weird "pew pew" bullet whistle sounds anymore. It might be my imagination but the explosions of the cartridge attacks sound deeper/louder too.

Why'd they do it?

soooo bestias/primals will never die? were they even humans like in FFX once?

But the concern is clearly that the element will "break free of Eden's hold" and not that Eden will do something to the element. This is 100% you just filling in the blanks, because it's not properly explained.

>thus they're summoning elemental creatures to spread their influence
They're summoning the creatures and then killing them which for some reason "contains" the element and prevents it from going haywire, it's literally all right there in the dialogue, I dunno how you can misinterpret it this badly. But this is never ever at any point mentioned to be a property of summoning/killing primals. That summoning and killing a primal somehow turns "angry aether" into "chill aether" is a brand new idea that is literally just now brought up and it's brushed over like it's obvious. They are clearly hoping you don't think too deeply about it.
>. does... does he have a good reason for wondering why this thing they just ran in to will be able to control the massive amounts of aether they need?
Yeah, they literally just found it. Why would he have any idea what Eden is or isn't capable of, let alone the specific scenario of Eden losing control of the aether? At the very least they could have had Ryne bring this up since she's the only one that has some vague idea of Eden's functionality at this point. Just because you're high on some fun boss fights doesn't mean you need to defend poorly contrived writing.

couldnt you just fail a trial ov er and over until you get that buff like 20 times?

Never played an MMO outside of a bit of Phantasy Star Online BB but this looks interesting and I love the XB games which are pretty much just offline MMOs.
How much does it cost though? The whole subscription thing is what's always thrown me off of the genre.

Wow a bunch of retard shedposters purposefully ignoring the note about 5.05 to get angry replies. Reminds me of a certain place.

Actually paying attention to stats on gear now because I'm trying to be less of a shitter.

>check out aiming for the raid
>skillspeed is my worst stat
>it's on the chest and pants

So my plan is to get the ring (which i did), followed by gloves and earrings. Then just do innocence ex for the other ring, belt, wrists, and neck. I'll try to get some tank pieces after that and then some healer pieces. Once I have the pieces that actually give good stats is when I'll start grabbing throwaway parts.

id note as a person who thinks its a shit mmo, iv been enjoying it so far. theres a massive list of "they should just fucking steal these ideas from another mmo" for quality of life shit, but they'll never bother, but some things they do are fun, and the story is enjoyable. it would have been much better as an rpg, and i dont see myself playing more than a couple months, but iv yet to not have fun playing

Eden prime was a bit weak though the transition is a massive FF8 wank.

>$12.99/mo
Fuck me that's kinda pricey. Classes start back up soon and I know I won't have any time to play it then, so it ain't really worth opening up that can of worms for now.
Thanks though user. I have a friend whose been trying to convince me to play but if nothing else I'll wait until I have more time on my hands.

Please stay the fuck out of Mateus. Its been great for so long I hope you shitters keep avoiding it.

I've tried NIN but it doesn't seem rewarding at all and we got a new static member that mains it too so I'm searching for other options: we have PLD, GNB, WHM, NIN, DRG, BLM on the static so I could either cover DPS or Healer roles.
I tried SCH but I get utterly bored while doing dps, I also tried SMN and it feels nice, but only on hard content. Any tips on what to try next? I was considering BRD and MCH

It annoys me more they put a skill in called tsubame gaeshi and its not even an attempt to recreate the move in any of the animations. Powered up midare setsugekka should have that animation instead
Also found out recently what setsugekka and each kanji on the sen guage means, samurai moves have some cool naming shit going on

If that's too much money for you user, you've got more pressing issues than a mmorpg with a 200+ hours story that will suck up your time. Good luck to you

>is a brand new idea that is literally just now brought up and it's brushed over like it's obvious.
And? Everything has to start somewhere. That's every story ever. Sometimes they borrow from earlier plot points, sometimes new information is brought up. Getting angry over that, especially since it's literally Urianger's thing since ARR, is ludicrous.

>Why would he have any idea what Eden is or isn't capable of, let alone the specific scenario of Eden losing control of the aether?
Do you realize how fucking stupid your logic is? "He has no idea what this thing can do, so why does he ask whether it can do something?" Holy fuck, dude.

Anyone who watches guides for ANY content in this game is a faggot. You are paying money to play this game, and yet you go crawling for some e-celeb to hold your hand through it, not to mention spoil what happens? Pathetic.

t. I cleared every savage raid without a static, before echo, and without watching or reading any guides. Even got to the main boss of both ultimates that way.

Speaking of plot points, half the people of Amaurot sacrificed themselves to give birth to Zodiark, yeah?

What if all of them gave half of their energy instead?

You fucking nigger. Trick Attack and having to manage it at the right time, giving Ninja a unique role to play in group content, is the ENTIRE FUCKING REASON I played the job since it was released. No one wants SAM 2.0 with sharp sticks.

Yes it's good. But you'll have to get past the early ARR content that is objectively boring. Heavensward is good, stormblood is decent but necessary, Shadowbringers is fucking kino and fun all the way through.

>It annoys me more they put a skill in called tsubame gaeshi and its not even an attempt to recreate the move in any of the animations
I really fucking hope you don't think it's a fate reference or anything like that

You're literally retarded if you use food learning savage.

You can't really assign an order to those. They're all important and they're all mutually exclusive.

Correction:

>gear

>potions

Only potions are acceptable to forego in savage, and only if you haven't hit enrage yet.

Its "free" stats. i just pop one whenever I feel like we have a decent chance of clearing. Its only like, 4k for a decent meal. You get enough money to eat for an hour just by doing 1 hunt.

Yea it's alright. Wow Classic will most likely be good too if you want a more oldschool MMO experience with better PVP, it's less linear and has more player interactivity going but doesn't have that cosmetic side, housing and an involved main quest like XIV. I'd pick one of these two.

ShB is most kino as a lalafell

No shit? It's not automatic if that's what you thought, they're curating the statuses to usher people onto certain worlds. Ultros was congested and now it's standard, you think it's actually lost players since 5.0 launched?

The whole thing where like half the worlds were marked as "congested" before 5.0 launch doesn't actually mean those worlds were bursting at the seams with players, it means the devs wanted new players to make their characters on the lower pop worlds.

When I did the next Fate instead of getting +100% exp like the normal maiden buff I got +300%.

WoW devs can't even beat their own creations so they go in with godmode just to see that the fight functions and then push it out. They have no idea how over/undertuned bosses are until they're live. Wowfags have no right to make fun of other games when they have that kind of shit going on

What did soken meant by this?

youtube.com/watch?v=tNXM_lisckU
youtu.be/YurCzvTmxFQ?t=2m57s

we know primals "eat" aether, and that somehow makes it stop existing.
killing the primal doesnt remove the aether. The aether was already gone once the primal was summoned.

id say its more of a translation error, to say "contain" rather than "remove from existence", since it gives a false impression , like what you got. (but then again, is anyone surprised the translation teams suck? besides those who love to suck their dick over word sex)

as for thancred, he could be asking tons of questions, and that would be more reasonable, but it speed up the text, and just jump to the point. (surprised they would ever do something like that, rather than pad it out with more text.)

I agree the "writting" is the issue, but its not too terribly bad. (part in translation, and part being a simplified concept to begin with)

i shoulda have said "rushed concept" instead of "simplified concept".

aslo, remember, if aether didnt disappear when eaten by primals, then that would mean thoradan didnt eat Lahabrea, and hes alive after we killed thoradan.

Because 500 potency ogcd on a 30 second cooldown is OP.

Tera is still too heavily reliant on the hotbar and skills to be a proper action game I feel.

Looks kinda neat. I'll look into it.

ESO will be more up most people's alley.

ESO is shit though.

So is XIV, but that doesn’t stop anyone.

It's better than ESO that's for sure.
I've played both games quite a bit, obviously everyone has their opinions however if you wanted to play an actual MMO ESO is a terrible one.

to keep calm, just remember that mechanics that automatically drop the raid / group down will never be fatal and any follow will be avoidable, so its their fault if they die to telegraph mechanics, unless you are literally idle and not throwing out the MedicaII/etc after an AoE. focus on yourself, and the tank who is the only person that can die from unavoidable damage.

Do multiple instances of the same buff stack? For example if a tank has 2 instances of Regen, do they stack?

Should I bother getting the Relic weapon or is it made obsolete by later content?

Relic is never obsolete because it's supposed to be updating to be the big dick be all end-all weapon.

I figured it out before the mechanic even finished playing out because it's obvious, as normal raids should be. It's scary how unaware some people are.

I was told by a tank that you can just stand in orange circle AoEs because they don't do any vuln stacks/debuffs and are easy to live through. Is that true?

How difficult are the raids? I only just finished the story and haven't touched EX's yet.

2 regens will stack. 2 shields will not. Generally, buffs do NOT stack.

I don’t like ESO, and it’s kind of just a strange singleplayer experience with bad combat. That said it’s also about how I’d describe XIV, so at least ESO has some exploration and RPG elements. I do play XIV and not ESO, but if it wasn’t for having friends playing it I wouldn’t really bother with either.

Astral Fire is your DPS burst phase. You basically cast fire spells til you run out of mana
Umbral Ice is your regen phase. You cast ice spells to regen your mana, plus cast thunder whenever you need to reapply the dot and foul/xenoglossy whenever it's up.

As for the overall lore itself, it's explained in shadowbringers but
Astral elements are basically elements of stasis. They stem the flow of Aether and are ice, earth, and lightning I believe. Umbral elements are elements of growth. They expand the flow of aether and the elements are Fire, Wind and Water. Neither is inherently good or bad, and too much of either causes bad things to happen.

yes

>healers shouldn’t be dpsing
i seriously want newfags to fucking leave, this is the goddamn problem with your MMO becoming popular

Nu-Shiva is going to end up like Myste isn't she?

Well what did you say, so we can see whether you were actually being a dumbass.

You have what Umbral and Astral do mixed up

No, Astral isn't stasis, it's just passive, it doesn't lock things into place, it's just there, not really doing any action.
Umbral is active.

No, the Source has them mixed up.

It's obvious though. Everything out past the flood wall is light aspected aether. Primals draw in surrounding aether of any aspect and align it to their needs. So they summon Eden and let it draw a ton of aether then kill it. When killed it will release the aether it held which will now be something other than just light. My a child could understand that primal summonings are going to be a means of converting light to the spectrum of elements.

Lemme guess, SCH main? Only you retards value being 1% higher in fflogs over actually clearing the fight.

wow, are you a hacker??? how did you find that wtf

I swear if we don't get a chance to kick his ass for this

Is this the same faggot that spams his copypasta in mhw threads?

The game keeps a copy of everything said in the chatlog in your documents folder under logs folder.

wow the new raid is complete trash, time to uninstall.
Was a fun game for a few weeks, but they really dropped the ball on the raid.
Who wants to do shitty Leviathan and Titan again? Oh boy Titan turns into a car this time!!! jesus christ.

Was hoping they'd actually design a raid instead of 4 box arenas distilled in nothing. Eden is supposed to be an actual place, why the fuck does it feel more distilled and non-existent than Omega did? More boring ass hurr hurr ancient civilization technology shit too.

That second boss might be cool on Savage with the timers, but who the fuck wants to do Titan and Leviathan again.

Whatever fucking happened to designing actual raids, it's so fucking disappointing that it's 4 abstract arenas, and that's it. Why has their raid design devolved with every new raid? Why is it too hard to make eden an actual place?

Also that semen demon goth girl didn't even appear (yeah she's obviously the knight), don't even get to see her until 6 months + from now when she was the supposed lead character for the raid. Instead we get shitty Thancred and shit minfilia jr.

not until the first expansion Heavensward. ARR is trash and dont let anyone here tell you otherwise

Mount when?

There's a full plot summary in the lorebooks.

Just stop playing.

Finally some new pasta

only to preferred/new worlds, otherwise you have to pay

materia melder in towns

ur lass is very nice

why does it matter when you can play with the entire data center? just find one of the few competent fc's on your scrub server to run organised raids with

No, it's stasis because it actively hampers aether flow.

Sorta like how Black Rose is light aspected, and it's primary function is to basically cease aether movements in whoever breathes it in, killing them.

tldr is primals and beast men bad, warrior of light good

Put slots or add materia to existing slots? I don't think you can add slots. But there are melders in the canopy of eulmore that will slot materia for you if you don't have crafting up.

too bad wow is all about quantity and not quality

Dropped the ball, SE.

i know a lot of you fags will disagree but i wish they would just do what they did with alexander again, it actually felt like you were raiding some goblin city

Jesus, you really are a booster

Play the fucking game you nerd

>Literally every dungeon is a hallway with ironclad linearity
This is a non-issue, since you WANT to complete them as fast as possible, as the Duty Roulette is the fastest way to earn EXP.

>Literally every boss is just a dude in a circular arena
Except for the ones that aren't. I know there's at least 2 fights in the first expansion that take place on plaforms you need to jump to as the arena is destroyed.
>Everything related to PvP is shit
It's a story-centric PvE game. If you want PvP, play Ultima Online.
>Open world zones are tiny, empty, have nothing going on, and are separated by loading screens
Most have a shitload going on, almost every area has a purpose related to a quest.
>Zero player choice in character building (stat choice, skill choice, talents, gear choice, etc.)
The meta would decide what builds were viable, so there's no point in giving choices. In FFXI, you get kicked from parties for having the wrong gear and subjob.
>Gear is universally boring (No gear sets, no unique effects, etc.)
I see you've never built an AF weapon.

POST IT BITCH

I feel bad for anyone getting into MMOs for the first time having only modern MMOs to chose from.

Fucking this.

Sniff sniff sniiiiiiiiiiiiiiif ahhhhhhhhhhh sweet jesus

I for one enjoyed the selfie patch too, user!

actually create slots. thanks for the answer

why do wish for people to become NEETs by playing old MMOs

You can't add extra slots onto non-crafter gear. With most gear, what you see is what you get.

With crafted gear, you can overmeld if you have a max level crafter in the proper discipline (blacksmith for weapons, weaver for robes, goldsmith for metalic accessories, etc etc). With overmelding, you have a percentage chance of melding the materia, but it starts at like 14% with the first overmeld, and by the 5th one it's like 4% or something. And if you fail, you lose the materia. Basically a money/time sink for endgame.

>I feel bad
No one in sane mind will choose old style MMO. Even you don't play them.

this happened to me on susano'o just an hour ago, except i went mt because the other guy didn't, then i died in the first 10 seconds when the healers did not heal me at all, and instead of trying to take back enmity i dc'd. a bitch move for sure, but i'm never mt, so it just felt a little unfair. maybe the healers were the other tank's friends or something.

Yeah I think you'll need to either make friends with a crafter that can give you something with the amount of slots you want or buy something better with tokens or gil.

I don't mind trashpulls being gone. They didn't add much IMO.

I do wish we could see Eden flying up to whereever we are going, the sudden "Hey, we're here" thing is kinda odd, but it's not a big complaint.

What's more silly is the fact that they're still too afraid to just make the Raids actually part of the MSQ so we get this halfassed keep it a secret lol shit just to justify it never being brought up.

Don't make me turn this into a Ragnarok online thread. Fuck I wish games today could at least capture the feeling of exploitation and freedom you had with character builds. I just want to be a battle sage spamming auto attack and landing double cast fight bolts on unsuspecting targets.

i'm blue dps, it's the healers job to mitigate

at least the queue times are still relatively low

Yeah, I wouldn't mind if they made the raids connected to MSQ. Like even if it's an offshoot storyline, make it still related to MSQ.

Like I was thinking while during "main" msq, you are fighting ascians, maybe the raid series involves you fighting Garlemald in the last expansion. Though with recent story events, I don't even know what Garlemald's gonna do next.

Aumorot may be enough of a casual filter to stop a lot of people from even getting to the end for a while anyway. Even if the raids were msq they might never get to them anyway.

i want to /pet those lala

Is there some technical reason characters pause for almost every emote they make? Why not talk while emoting like real people?

Probably break out into another Civil War, maybe end up reformed as a Republic again or a Kritarchy so they have an excuse to put Judges in the game.

Game animation is hard and difficult.

Option 2 if they are good at the game, if not stay fcless

We're trying to break the elements free of Eden's control, she has a stranglehold on them all and that's why the world is stagnant and dead. Thancred's concern is that if you just remove the blockage then it'll run wild and pure and forever free.

>Thancred is getting another Daughterfu
Come on Thancred, at least let us have that one.

Yeah I dunno. I've played MMOs since Asheron's Call and while they were nice they definitely had their huge faults as well. Like, a lot of those games if you build a character 'wrong' you were essentially fucked.

Oh yes please let's discuss RO 'builds'. Outright USELESS skills, needing different builds to be effective in either PvP or WoE or PvE, requiring gear/cards that had fucking .01% drops. Yes let's bring that absolute autism to the forefront, please.

i laughed when i saw that shit, it's so fucking stupid looking

in mario kart mode go next to him, but on the side with 2 "lanes", because you get knocked back one lane, which will push you off

Alright.

They are living onaholes.

Standing in front of him is insta-death, standing to the sides gets you knocked back, stand on the side that has more space between you and the edge.

That doesn't make it good though

You're very brave user. I will be shuffling until I get 2 lines guaranteed. I need that Omega-F from last week.

Can't wait to play with Jimmy that is younger than WoW itself in content that is 100% already known and mastered.

is that kingdom hearts bbs gear?

Ahah, no.

he's always going have one side with more space than the other, stay on that side for gokarts
landslide is in front

Thancred has always been a pussy magnet, user

What's going on with gear stat values this expansion?

I just hit 80 and got my 430 set and it's like +2 primary stats over the 415 junk I was wearing. Are tomestone and raid gear so similarly underwhelming upgrades?

>WoW
>Better than anything
Pick one

>Classic WoW
>old style MMO
I swear god WoW existence warped everything about MMOs. Horrible old MMOs with clusterfuck combat, horrible UI and grind for grind

You get to the side that has more space so you don't get knocked off when he races past, it's a really heavy knockback so you need to be pretty close to him.

thanks bros.
i'll give it another shot.

What even is the point of level 7 material when 6 gives better stats?

Classic wow will be DOA, i'll have a stable population of 100k at most.

I have like, 10 years and wow and cant really see how it's gonna be a massive success like blizzard want/need.

overmelding, which isn't relevant yet because crafted stuff hasn't come out

You can overmeld grade 7s.

Welcome to literally every expansion start?

6 can't be overmelded, 7 can. will make more sense once crafted gear releases.

arm morph = in
atv= out
idk how these anons forgot to mention that

overmelding.

In the same vein, did they just get rid of any DH on healer/tank gear?

be aware after you're done dodging that, he does a lap, then he can go back and start again, so be aware and get back to the side with 2 lanes. depending on timing he might immediately go to "stack on boss" move or something else after the lap, so stay frosty.

Tanks/Healers never had DH on their gear. They have tenacity and piety instead

>Trying to stir shit while conveniently hiding how the other datacenters went back to standard

healer gear hasnt had DH ever

>tfw lala player who just wants to be cute tater and not sexualized

Huh, my mistake then.

direct hit is the dps special stat like piety/tenacity, it hasn't been on there since sb

why would healer gear have DH if heals can't direct hit

I'll probably just be better off following the group.

the very old gear has it since it replaced accuracy, that's probably what you're thinking of

it's a tough life when you want to be cute but everyone thinks you're a degenerate.

Attached: ffxiv_07122019_165855_612.jpg (407x636, 73K)

Probably similar. Nomura is the designer after all

makes sense. I hope we get that as wearable armor and its dyeable.

That's not tank/healer specific gear though is it? It's the disciple of war/magic gear you're thinking of right?

lala players who take no shit and don't try to be cute are the most based ones.

ironworks gear has dh on it and its seperated by role.

Could very well be gear from a later tier. And savage tier is always dyable of course

If you didn't want to be picked up and used by the taller races then you should stop being dickmagnets.

I think it's just a small chance to spawn a 'better'/moreHP maiden that gives that buff instead of the normal one. Coincidentally I've only seen them on boss FATEs so maybe that's it too

No it's been around since SB.

I'd change but id have a hard time taking myself seriously unless I only played casters.

It's weird since I mained Tarutaru in XI

the wording on loot rules is fucking me up, you can only get stuff from each boss once a week, right?

You can only get 1 token per boss per week.

Just unsub, it's literally not worth it

Yes. You can get one token per boss per week.
Now each token appears in each fight, so you could theoretically keep running each one til you get exactly what you want.

But tokens work the same as before. Belts and accessories require one token, helms, gloves, and shoes require two tokens, and shirts and pants require 4.

1 token per boss per week

Interesting, checked some other items and it seems like ARR tanking/healing stuff can have DH on it. ARR primal weapons have DH too
