It's okay when FFXIV has sharding

You can also change shards at will.

This, outside of the duty finder and party finder the game is largely single player.
And unlike wow with rare gathering spawns like black lotus where sharding effectively multiplies the supply, there's no materials on ffxiv that's affected in this way because gathering points are character based rather than instance based, everyone on the server can gather from that unspoiled node all at the same time.

i've seen several shards depopulate entirely when one of them had something significant going on, making everyone switch to the same one

>due to world PvP being a core aspect of the game
Literally hasn't been since battlegrounds were patched in aside from those cringefaggots who spent their miserable lives ganking lowlvls

They have an entire mode dedicated to world PvP nowadays dude. You even get XP bonuses for turning it on.

It's more core than it's ever been.

just started leveling dancer and I completely forgot it was ranged. I've been getting up close and personal with everything all the time.

I agree, encountering a fate train in the overworld and having your frames drop to single digits while the hunt target doesn't even load in until after it dies is what makes MMO's fun. I wish more MMOs did stuff like this

I agree. I want it to feel like a real, breathing world, which means I want crowding.

>Add option to completely opt out of world PvP
>It's more core than it's ever been

It quite literally is okay because it only stays there until it's needed.

Definition- a place where people like me are bullied, harassed, called a troll on a 24/7 consistent basis, and any and all discussions and suggestions are automatically nullified because people are unable to grasp the concept of anything other than the status quo.

That is what this place is. Every single solitary discussion I have made, has come straight from my heart. Everything I talk about I genuinely want to have good discussions about, but everytime I create a topic, it just gets completely derailed by bullies. People who just jump in and call me a troll and accuse me of being mentally challenged.

The truth is, I am a gay guy, and this is the main reason why people on these forums dont like me. The majority of people here are straight white anime tweens who like to rehearse every single thing that they type so they can achieve maximum thumbs up or in this case stars

That's not to say everyone on here is bad, I've had some genuine good discussions on here with maybe 5 or 6 people, and to them I say thank you for being kind to me and thank you for being open minded.

These forums are in desperate need of quality control, every time I voice my opinion I am attacked and treated like dirt. Why am i silenced and treated unfairly, yet people can make threats to the developers about making Hrothgar and not make Viera, repeat butt slider threads, and go on and on about the same stuff over and over again. Why is this allowed but my opinions are seen as trolling?

> more core than ever
Unless it’s rank 14 tier of “core” I’m not buying it

What's the point of multiple servers if the game still can't handle keeping the population in a single world?

Does Odin ever fucking open up to allow you to create a char ?

Some of the experiment subjects and allagan lore are good too, but the actual zone is dogshit and hurts my fucking eyes.
HW was mostly good all the way from the trial by combat to the road trip and the Vault. It dips after the Vault but picks back up in Azys Ila. Ysayle's death didnt make sense but was pretty fun regardless. You soloing an army of ancient robots, 2 ascians then Thordan with only the help of a dragon eye was high octane as fuck. The peace deal with dragons and final fight against Nidhogg was good shit too.
The only thing really bad about HW is how they just abandoned the Ul'dah plot. The dragon attack on Ishgard, with the exception of your actual fight with Nidhog, was underwhelming as fuck compared to the trailer. Fucking lizards didnt even manage to make it into the city. Last part with Ilberd was meh, but that might as well be counted as SB.

FFXIV thread? Cool.
Is BRD my best bet if I want to play a support DPS? What I've heard about DNC so far is less than ideal.

You have no idea.
Day one of the expac, no one could make new characters on any server.
I can't imagine being an excited new player who got the game and the expansion and was suddenly told they couldn't play because literally every server was full

Should have been the endgame city, eulmore is where everyone is and that one is smaller.

>scrolling the front page
wow last time i checked it was 2019 not 2009

The best support is making the enemies dead.
Play a Machinist.

BRD has the most utility beyond "more damage" out of the "support jobs."

why the fuck is Phoenix the final summon when Phoenix came before Bahamut in Coil.

Honestly that kinda proves most players are gay trannies that are slaanesh worshippers. Crystarium is so much better looking than Eulmore

Is there some unspoken rule that you don't pull big in westminster switch because of ilvl scaling or some other bullshit?

Yet you won't be able to correct the general opinion that FFXIV is good. So kinda pointless to even stop by, you sound more retarded tho.

FFXIV was never like vanilla wow. I still don't like sharding. I don't know if they still do events like Odin and Behemoth but sharding would fuck with them

dunesfolk and anything above mid height

Attached: 1546741184508.png (1122x1200, 1.48M)

They have new hidden fates like the frog one in the last zone, the sharding allows you to have more of them active than normal. Like each instance has its own cooldown/spawn timer.

Sharding is only for Shadowbringers zones, and you can switch shards at will anyway. Shards will empty out when a big event FATE or S-rank spawns.

Sharding only happens in new areas introduced for the expansion, and it only lasts a few months until server congestion dies down.
Also this

>doesn't change your shard out of the blue like WoW

It's absolutely great for those things, but awful for general FATE farming, since the playerbase is split in 3.

>playing the class for cucks and women

Yikes, faggot.

it's not that bad, just go to the most populated shard and there's probably a fate train running

Not really since you can easily just switch whenever you want.

It's more like
>japan does it better
When WoW shards you are stuck in that shard.
When FFXIV shards you can choose which one you want and change at any given time. Making the shards only real function a means of reducing lag if you want.

200 people in one instance turns game into holy mess
I'm honestly no idea why my fps start dropping even if people are not on the screen. Their presence alone turn everything into shit.

>she doesn't dance partner the hrothgar regardless of the job they play

You can, sure, but the majority of players don't. You usually wind up with 3-5 players per instance doing FATEs instead of 9-15 players in one instance.

It really isn't that bad, it's just the one thing I'll be happy about when the instances go away.

when is yoshida removing gender locks on gear so I can be a slutty hrothgar dancer

beast on female is patrician

It's because the game is built on the skeleton of 1.0, which was a shitshow.

Fucking make SMN about using your pet instead of this retarded DoT/Ruinmancer

Attached: 1532892492750.gif (400x400, 169K)

Seconded.

Agreed. An actual miniomancer would be sick. Just prune the DoT's and make a new DoT caster class, simple.

New Fates are rally good. At least world feels alive with all those people despite flying.
But cross world garbage ruined hunts. They should not allow refugees to participate in hunts

Then just switch to the majority instance.
WoW forces you to switch ever few mins. you want that instead? TF2 team switching?

Fuck off I didn't pick summoner in an FF game so I could be a pet class, I wanted to summon big monsters to do big flashy attacks.

Somewhat conflicting answers here. I knew I could rely on you, Yea Forums

too bad you don't really do that in XIV either most of the time

I don't have ACT so I use the aggro list on who does the most damage.

SMN always felt like it was some mishmash of someone wanting a dot class, another wanting a pet class, so they merged the two together horribly in a way that doesn't feel like a proper FF summoner.
I really like the new way of it building up to the big demi summons, but the dots and egis are still holding it back.

That does sound awful, but it seems you didn't get my point. Moving to the majority instance means you're doing FATEs with 5 people, instead of 3, when it would be 15 people if there were no instances. Again, it's really not a big deal, it's just the one plus side to when the instances get removed.

If I had to choose between this one minor issue against the positives of 3 times the hunts and 3 times the world boss FATEs, I'd pick instances every time.

On a completely different note.

FFXIV should have been a Ivalice MMO. Fuck these buff blue people and potato tards.

That's only if people are doing fates. And you act like the majority of the hardcore players don't know how use the whole instance thing in the first place.

1.0 Arcanist was planned to be a support mage that used DoTs and set down traps on the field
Original SMN plan was a void mage that used poison magic and summoned voidsent that would be the lesser-used summons in the series like Cait Sith, Catoblepas, Mindflayer, etc
But the people of 1.0 wanted to use the classic summons like Ifrit and Shiva, so they shifted it over to a poison mage that uses the current egis

I'm never gonna get my Bangaa and Garif race.

I'm not acting like most players don't know how to use the instance thing, I'm straight up telling you that's the case. I've done a lot of FATE farming, and every zone always has a few people doing FATEs in each instance. You can usually find one instance that's better than the other two, but a combined instance would be better still.

When they release the soundtrack

>void mage that used poison magic and summoned voidsent
Fuck that would have been cool.

To be fair the majority of the girls (female) in my FC are playing DNC

Bangaa are at least in the fucking game right now. Montblanc is just a normal ass moogle in the ivalice raids.

It would have been permanent if Louisoix hadn't gotten tempered. He just didn't consider it and relinquished his power. Phoenix at his peak was way beyond Bahamut.

You're really deluded to the way FFXIV works both mechanically and the general IQ of the populace who plays it. It's a simple game. It needs simple gameplay. They threw something in that was mechanically (on a macro level anyways) complex in anyways but in an isolated manner.

>If RDM and SMN can exist in this game, so can BLU.
Neither of those jobs have anything that could feasibly bend the game over in their typical incarnations (Final Fantasy 5 is really the only one that does for Blue Mage, but that's beside the point when XIV's BLU is themed after 5's) and BLU has the expectancy that you'll learn monster skills and those monster skills will be vaguely accurate. I'd advise you come down from the high of your own farts before you start complaining about anybody being a developer drone. Like, where is the lie? BLU would be useless in its current incarnation if it were allowed into raids; all of its esoteric effects wouldn't work, your party members would undoubtedly get pissed at you if you tried being a memelord with Self-destruct/Final Sting for a burst-damage hit or took aggro with Mighty Guard + The Look, no way in hell would something like Peculiar Light be allowed. It's 90% of the way to a useless job that nobody will take because its scaled-up damage is comparable to Ninja and Stormblood's Dragoon.

You pick a instance and stay there because, just like the name implies, it's a instance. Meanwhile sharding moves the players around as the server wants.

The instance memes should be removed next week anyways. They only add instances at the release.

Actually a lot of Classic WoW's problems would be solved if jumping phases was only possible from certain locations. The big problem is people jumping via parties and abusing the game, Aetherytes stop that.

This.
My problem with BLU isn't that I can't use it in current Dungeon/Raids, it's that it feels fucking weak despite being a Limited Job, if you make a Job that can only do old content make it so that you can easily clear that content by yourself, rather then needing other Jobs to help to clear it.
Like the fucking Primal EX farming, you can not tell me that Square expected you to farm these fight with a full team of BLU's.

Lyse defeated two characters that the WoL couldn't defeat. Lyse is above WoL and Zenos.

Thancred's stronger than the WoL.

This.
Lyse is above world level. Limitless.

>Did you think you had a point at all? Magic up to Fira, Cura/Fire 2, Cure 2 and Dualcast wouldn't and don't break the game
Really? Because until SB everyone also said RDM was impossible to add because it can 'do everything'. So what's impossible about BLU, a job that traditionally has acceptable melee damage and a wide range of support effects? Is it impossible because it has spells like Doom? Because BLM is allowed in. Is it because it can heal? Because RDM is in. Is it because it has spells that do percentage-based damage? Because AST has Gravity. So tell me in your own words what the actual fuck is impossible to implement about BLU?

slap Fire IV like it owes you money

Make everyone play around you

I haven't finished Shb yet, so Lyse is still a shitter that got btfo by Zenos
Thancred lasted 4 moves against Pajeet, WoL could've beaten Pajeet if he wanted

Man, I can't even clear Titania EX because everytime I try, I always get one or two shitters that cannot follow mechanics at all. From a tank that thinks he has to group all of the adds together, to healers that don't know that the first phantom rune requires you to move away, to DPS that just run in random directions with bramble. I wish I knew 7 people that play this game.

Bro you can't just add in a skill that hurts you how would that be acceptable??

there is no strict interpretation of mighty guard, it does something different in every game with the only consistent element being a defense increase. it only worked on the blue mage casting it in ffxi and that is the only justification needed for it not working as a party-defense buff in ffxiv

Estinien is actually extremely fucking strong considering he actually made Zenos fall back when he had the WoL in his grasp

playing with friends is worse because they can be just as dumb but you can't ditch them to try and find a better group

Lyse defeated Fordola and Lakshmi when they had defensive buffs that the WoL couldn't break with her monk LB3. She is stronger than the Warrior of Light, or should I say the Warrior of Cuck.

*that kills you

>there is no strict interpretation of mighty guard
There is no strict interpretation of Blue Mage, so there was no reason it couldn't have been a full job. Neck yourself you inbred monkey fuck.

I'm a different guy. I don't care about the Pajeet stuff since I know the WoL lost the first time due to that powder making them weak. I'm just upset that they added those defensive buffs just so Lyse can LB3 and save the day.

They probably expected you to clear it with a normal 2 tank 2 healer 4 DPS composition, with BLU just being another DPS that can also perform extra utility.
The problem is that they gave no incentive at all to do that and the playerbase will always choose the path of least resistence (i.e unsync farming)

Lyse would have been tempered by Lakshmi if the WoL and Arenvald hadn't been there

>fight story boss in duty
>completely whoop his ass
>"heh.... time to stop messing around" *sets you to one HP and your character is forced to kneel*
Why do they keep fucking doing this? Can't they fucking overwhelm the player mechanically? Are they scared I might actually beat their gay unbeatable boss that they have to hardcode me losing? God it breaks my immersion every fucking time. If you had a oneshot move just murder me from the get-go. Same with hard enrages of raids. Why the fuck are you using your oneshot move 10 minutes into a fight? If you had that kind of trump card what was the point of this fight??? I can KIND of accept hard enrages as just the boss LB3, but most of them aren't even flashy enough to warrant that honor. They just cast another generic AoE but slow this time so you know its enrage. Hard enrages are absolutely abhorrent game design.

Literally nobody in this thread pointed out that they do this with every expansion for the first month and then remove it. Not a single post clarifying this misinformation garbage.

Fuck this board.

Attached: 1559290761974.jpg (928x690, 76K)

Hard enrages exist because healcucks exist. You can literally just heal every damage and revive every dead person until the end of time.

Expansion isn't even a month old I believe. This is all because of those new GNB mains larping as squall. Next large patch should even things out.

I agree with you when it comes to story bosses but enrages are simply a gameplay mechanic, you don't need to consider them a canon part of the story. They're there to make sure that you beat the fight in a reasonable time, else every fight would be piss easy so long as you kept everyone alive.

Worse when they do it just so an NPC can 'save' you from the artificial peril. Nevermind that you were doing great till then. Nevermind the sudden glaring question of why didn't the enemy do that the entire time and why don't they keep doing it if they are that powerful?

I guess so but if this one were an XIdiot he wouldn't hinge his argument on Mighty Guard being a party-buff and it's not accurate in XIV every time he shows up, since somebody else already brought up that only works on the BLU casting it in XI.

there are multiple posts pointing that out, thread skipper

Not true. Look above.

BLU isn't impossible, but to make it practical they would have to stop streamlining leveling

considering you canonically win a fight on the first try and all failed attempts are Echo visions, enrages don't actually exist beyond a mechanical level.

To be honest, BLU IS fun right until the "End Game" where the spells are in dungeons and have 5% drop rates from fucking Extreme Primals and you just redo 3 Masquerade fights a week.

It is just so unfortunately built to be boosted rather then played at that point and the only reason to get the Primal spells? To ease up getting Perfect Blue.

They also honestly fucked up by counting the "Moonsong Self-Destruct/Final Sting" combos as wins in Masquerade since you basically just chip away and then do that on the "bosses", including Azulmagia.

And really, the most damning thing is the XI did BLU balanced as a "Normal" Job just fine with a similar system.

just do soft enrages? constant stacking damage ups and overwhelming the player more and more? making it exponentially increasing is still better than a binary win/lose switch that is flipped at X time

>We're currently experiencing DDoS attacks targeting the North America data center. We appreciate your patience while we work to address the situation.
LMAO

at the end of the day xiv is just average shonen powerlevel tripe

they would make you lose in a cutscene instead but they can't be fucked with making separate cutscenes for all jobs, that's it.

No, all of them say it's "temporary" without clarifying for how long, making it sounds like a lame excuse, and the others are using excuses like "you can freely switch between them" and the likes which reek of falseflagging.

*servers are dying because commiefornia toasters can't deal with all the players

Thanks Anons, I shall now be the very best black mage that ever existed. Will slam Fire IV like a fucking turret

It is temporal and no one gave a fuck about job quests.
They did make a lot of the classes boring, especially low level, that I agree on. The aggro management is a joke, yet the shitter tanks still can't hold aggro, that's not a matter of too many confusing skills, it's them being bad at the game. Healers are now only healers with a filler button that might as well be auto attack, but still can't find the Succor button in trials. You simply can't fix bad players, nor try to balance your game around them, and both roles and the job differences were much more interesting before 5.0.

BLU would have worked perfectly fine in 1.0, and probably would have been an extremely unique and balanced take on the class. But of course, Square Enix wanted a WoW clone instead of a work of art.

Attached: 1560660534612.png (1838x628, 104K)

It's the same shit because "soft" enrages only mean you can use invulnerables to survive it, non tanks will still die if they're hit by one soft enrage hit.

Ifrit ex had a soft enrage and it still killed everyone if you got hit by it twice.
T5 has a soft enrage that killed everyone in one hit.
T9 has a soft enrage that killed everyone in one hit.

Pffft we all know giving players the option for custom builds all results in players all using the same one, the best one, and turn them into elitists who exclude anyone who doesn't conform. And WoW is already a "toxic cesspool" to begin with. XIV is better for not using this build faggotry. Shit like that is good for single player games.

>forget about Eorzea for one expansion
>the game is suddenly good
The absolute city-state of 1.0 IQ keks.

FFXIV has more classes than WoW has valid builds.

I recall Shiva EX enrage is just she getting a stack of damage up whenever she changes weapons, to the point where her auto attacks hit tanks for half their health, yet it was still doable

They're not soft enrages you retard
Just because you can survive it with higher HP pool doens't make it not a hard enrage
Soft enrage refers to increasingly stacking difficulty of the encounter until players run out of resources to sustain themselves in combat
This game basically never done that (no, J-waves and similar phases do not count because they're all survivable at launch and lead into regular hard enrage, they just exist to make the fight feel more tense at the end and pad the runtime to make sure you've done all mechanics).

Downside is there are almost 0 balanced world populations. So if you drew the short straw and your server is majority opposite faction it's not even worth it since you'll get anally raped by a death squad the second you move anywhere close to the bonus objective. It got so bad they even changed the Nazjatar objectives since one faction would literally always win every bonus.

You could have different types of soft enrage

>more and more aoes on screen until the screen is just covered and you cant avoid being hit by several until you're just instagibbed
>faster and faster damage
>forcing players to do quick time events one by one and die
>toggling on permadeath then proceeding a last chunk of the fight
>draining all the MP and turning off healing

I have a question regarding housing:
As I understood it so far is that after a player relinquishes their plot, the house will be unavailable for purchase until the random timer expires.
Does owning an apartment prior circumvent the waiting time or can you only instantly relocate when you actually own your own plot?

Attached: 1564033919910m.jpg (781x1024, 149K)

>They're not soft enrages you retard
They're soft enrages on XIV because hard enrages will kill you no matter how much hp you have and they go through invulnerabilities.

You could still hallowed ground through T9 soft enrage and have the paladin possibly finish nael on his own before she finished him off. Meanwhile if she had a hard enrage everyone would be dead the moment she finished casting the first megaflare with or without invulnerabilities.

Turbo autists like you who can't read the entire encounter numbers is what's wrong with FFlogs, I'm glad DNC padding will nuke that shit for good

If you are very unlucky and need specific item it's possible to need 9 kills.
I believe I killed leviathan 7 times already because I just couldn't get head piece from it.

I'm serious. I'm pretty sure I dropped enochian at some point in that fight I know I blew my despair way too early somewhere but because dnc/ast padding is so dumb it decided to give me a 100 anyway.

As an honest class like BLM I like that they have rdps now. We have no buffs meaning our rdps is a legit indicator of how much we actually did as a player and how skilled we were as a BLM in the fight. No padding.

Of course it will never have a % of its own, and the number is not as honest for other jobs (nin rdps depends on how well party members used their TA window) but for me and the job I play, it's a really good thing to have. It made me realize I'm actually not that underskilled compared to the people scoring top 2 world or whatever.

Looking forward to Savage Voidwalker lads?

I'm interested to see if they do anything cool with the clock mechanic, yes

Would it really be difficult to add another % for rdps? I feel like that would help logs culture and behavior a lot if we can be viewed on our personal performance rather than optimizing around specific cooldowns.

I'm doing savage through PF so no

If mechanics are random then yes otherwise it's just going to be memorization and considering it's only the 2nd fight it might not even be random.

What's the point of jobs like MCH when DRG, MNK and BLM do more damage and bring better utility? How is that balanced?

>the first half of the fight is nothing but spell-in-waiting with 20 debuff icons on each person
>the second half of the fight is everything exploding in order
Yes I'm looking forward to it

The number can be considered personal performance for SAM and BLM. For other jobs, like I said, it's not as honest. A NIN who has a good group who utilizes their TA window to max will have higher rdps than an equally skilled NIN with a group who sits on their thumbs for their TA window.

Imagine all the circles with a set detonation order, with the stack mixed somewhere between them all.

Literally don't give a fuck, shit can be found elsewhere. Stop fearmongering.

Normal modes don't have enrages.

A lot wouldn't mind if it actually happened.

Almost no normal difficulty content in the game has an enrage. The only one I can think of is Brute Justice. As long as you have a good healer that can carry you can clear.

So what are the real parses not that rdps is in? what's the new list?

Not on Normal friendo

I thought rDPS was the damage your party buffs applied? Why do the heavy hitters have lower rDPS and the support jobs like DRG, NIN, and AST have higher rDPS?

Any fight where you barely have to move on ranged means BLM will be on top and melee will suffer
First time on fflogs I guess?

Instancing is only for expansion zones and certain other high-population zones
atm it's Mor Dhona (you get there about level 40 I think), and all of the >70 zones
When you get to a zone with instancing enabled, it'll ask you which layer you want to be placed in, you can switch which one you're in at an aetheryte

situational when you can't stay still at all and in transit. Good for times when you're running to stack markers.

There's no reason to believe that this will happen in the new Savage.

Anyone else here too much of a brainlet at playing GNB? I feel like I am doing something really wrong.

Fpbp.
None of this invite to asmon layer bullshit.

If my BLM has 12k Personal DPS, and I have a DNC stapled to my ass the entire fight who gives me an additional 1k over the entire fight, then my Raid DPS was 11k, since that's how much actual damage I brought. The DNC was the one who gave the extra 1k, so it's added to his RDPS which will now be higher than his personal.

DNC is pretty fun at 80, didn't expect that.

Then they'll still take BRD/DNC/SMN/RDM in favor of MCH. No utility (or absurd damage), no spot. This has always been true no matter the content. I don't like it either btw, it's just the truth.

There was that one vanilla lalafell doujin.

Not the guy you're replying to, but I find it funny that this is not the first, but the second time I see a SAM response that completely ignores MNK being ahead and focus entirely on ranged. As if MNK is now ranged.

Is that true? Show me another job other than BLM who can break the 12k mark of rdps on titania ex.

>just fucking goes super saiyan
what the fuck even is this boss

This is why I usually split my macros into at least two, stopping two steps before byregots.
For example, have one branching macro that goes into ingenuity II then blessing, then another that's blessing into ingenuity, in case you got an excellent right as the macro ends.

Even if you go for double ranged for prog, the meta will most certainly be triple melee+BLM unless they buff DNC. It would be downright stupid to take a BRD/MCH over MNK, which brings mantra+brotherhood+higher personal dps.

Honestly something about that fight just seems off while i'm playing GUB. It feels the same way on how cucked I feel doing Titty and inno EX. I think I might just be stupid.
Every time I get the dancer buff for fun from my static DNC I end up dying so I told them to never give me that cursed as fuck dance partner.

Well 100%, that's why I'm asking what happened. I assumed it was laser phase since there's a shitload of AOEs and if you walk out to spin the boss too early the charge is a 1 shot. As GNB it's unusual to see with 2 dashes.

Is it worth doing the 10 guildhest challenge every week for a lvl60+ class?

That's fine and dandy with a two button macro, but I'll take 1 failed espresso every 200 in exchange for doing everything 1 button.

The real bad feeling is when the macro fails becuase the server is getting DDoS'd,

BLM is the greatest wizard class ever made.

After sixty. Until then it kind of hurts because your damage is proc based. When you proc it feels amazing, but no proc city feels like a fucking atrocity.

comparitive to their job's damage, I mean. A DRG might have 10k dps but 11k rDPS while a samurai has 11k dps but 10k rDPS

I have a new static. Hoping the guys are chill and respect that fact that I don't want to fucking party in discord.

Okay. But do you really still not understand why?

Did the fflogs creator announce the rdps change in any place? Is there a place I can go to read his posts?

FFXIV isn't an MMO. It's an online only instanced action-RPG.
The only place I see people out in the world in FFXIV are town, I see the same amount of people in town in fucking Path of Exile.

No I get it! I was just wondering why it's the whole DPS displayed, modified by whatever metric of account your party buffs go for rather than the flat damage of the party buffs alone. So instead of showing that the DNC is booster 1k damage in rDPS because it gave that much, I'm wondering why it doesn't just show the 1k damage alone under rDPS

Unironically yes, watching a friend torture himself grinding gold in WoW so he can buy a sub token to...continue to grind gold? Is genuinely upsetting.

Stop playing on garbage servers then. Here on Shiva, which is average in terms of population, I CONSTANTLY see people running around EVERYWHERE, no matter which time it is.

I was running into people grinding FATEs in Ahm Araeng at 3:00am last night.

there are always people farming fates and gathering nodes on every instance

Because 1k is not what you contributed to the raid. The actual DNC dps also contributed to the get the boss down. If they did 8k dps and their buffs contributed for 2k more, their total contribution to get the boss down was obviously 10k.

Event shisui doesn't have sleeves and is dyeable. Should be coming out in the cash shop soon.

Dude, why.
Make some friends for once

The ending said that one day it will fade, like everyone and everything does. The city isn't an enchantment or an illusion, it's essentially a primal because it was made with creation magics.

I know there's manaward, surecast, aetherial manipulation, but BLM still feels just so fucked in harder content before you clear it once or twice to master it and stop spilling spaghettinochian.
Every other job is easy mode in comparison. It's not about the rotation, it's about having to actually cast, and being really fucking squishy. The fight itself is harder.
Oh you have to weave? You can move, so big fucking deal. You probably even have a self-heal, pussy.

Once you have mastered a fight, it's like a joke of course.

People competing for attention, shouting and just in general treating the voice chat like a party is just annoying to me. Not everyone is the same. The only true friend I have who plays this game plays on crystal and his game activities vary compared to mine. He doesn't do savage at all.

cuz it was 100/100/100 if not more at the launch

It was sharded for launch. Things have calmed down now and it will probably be removed on Tuesday.

Don't know what kind of static did you find but mine, when we play, is silent because you can't stay concentrated with absolute chaos in voice chat.
Voice chat is just too useful in this game. Sure you can clear stuff without it, I've done it in PF, but why would you put yourself in disadvantage like that?

300/300/300 actually

It balances the load as it goes actually. It doesn't fill up one then send people to 2, then 3. it sends 1 to 1, 2 to 2, 3 to 3, and 4 back to 1, and so on, if allowed to work automatically. People can also pick their instance as long as it's not full, think it caps at 300, which is hilariously low.

There seems to be a misunderstanding. When I said I don't want to party in discord I didn't mean I didn't want to join discord. I mean I didn't want it to be a complete mess of dudes competing who is more funny or something in the middle of progression.

>retards keep calling instances by shards
Instances are literally mini servers inside a server, like old school MMOs had channels.

Sharding is the above with a retarded automated system on top of it.

How does Palace of the Dead translate into easy exp?

You get exp as a reward for completing 10 floors

none of the exp you gain in there counts for anything but doing the dungeon. you are awarded a set exp amount after completion of a set of floors

God I wish they had put the tomestone vendor in the Crystarium. How have they not learned this in THREE expansions?

yes yes, go back to wow, nigger

They like to keep things separate so you move around the world more and to help server load

Same. Crystarium has almost everything. It could also stand to have a collectable appraiser as well. I don't know why the Crystalline Mean doesn't have one since there's a scrip trader there.

It's ok because nothing in FFXIV matters. It's not a real MMO.

>How can players not understand that if MB and Tome vendors were in the same city it would be laggy as hell and the other would be a ghost town?

Eulmore needs company chests and Crystarium needs an aesthetician

It doesn't though, they only do this for the first month of an expac launch to prevent people from being unable to access areas

he wasn't dance boosted, do you guys know how finishes work?

No, Crystarium needs company chests.

No, we beat those by pulling 7 other Echo users out of our ass to fight them.

Crystarium IS a ghost town, like Ishgard was.

Just like Kugane and Ishgard, the Crystarium is full of crafters and gatherers all the time

I never played WoW. I'm just tired of people saying apples are oranges.

Yoshida has actually discussed WoL's power level using Guts as a metric, and Guts is stronger. At least he was at the time of that interview.

I remember reading something like that, got a source?

I just mean that Ranjiit has spent most of his life doing nothing but fighting Sin Eaters 24/7, he's basically the First's equivalent of our character, but more experienced. And even then he only beats us one time with a cheap shot stun. And no shit Guts is stronger

That's because the game is gay anime doll simulator shit for trannies.

so, this is how they got 1 million active players, huh?

Why is it that sometimes the adventurer in need only gives gold and other times it gives clusters?

Can't find a source right now except an Anony Moose post talking about it. The listings are
>LV50 Warrior of Light
>Raubahn Aldynn
>Zenos yae Galvus
>LV70 Warrior of Light
>Guts

It depends on your job's level

I still see tons of players in both cities
maybe transfer to a server that isn't dead if it bothers you

70+ in need gives the clusters.

You have to be level 70 to get clusters

Bots aren't counted because they don't bother getting mounts which is what the census counts.

I noticed it happen in Mor Dhona, but that's probably because they considered that part of ShB.

Good thing too could you imagine mor dhona crashing on early access? The launch was incredibly smooth this go around aside from the first 30 minutes and even that was simply kind of laggy and awkward.

Honestly, just completely change SMN from 30 onwards, get rid of egis and replace them with trances, and then give players trances based off of the primals in the game.

There's no reason why we STILL haven't gotten a Ramuh, Leviathan, or Shiva egi/demi yet outside of "lmao we need to keep the same playstyle for level appropriate content" when they don't even playtest classes in that content anyway. Fucking RDM STILL is overpowered in ARR content synced down to 50, to the point that they can outdps any dps with ease.

But I like egis. Garuda is a cutie.

Attached: SMN is the shittiest job in Final Fantasy XIV.png (530x1200, 842K)

I have a pdf of it, but my upload speed is trash and it's 1.75 GB or something.

But egis are clunky and terrible to use - especially now where they're made pet actions into your actions, so you have to weave them in like terribly clunky OGCDs. They are cute, I'll give you that.

What's clunky about Egi Assaults? They work just like every other OGCD you're double weaving on SMN. The only thing is that half second delay before it gives you a Ruin4.

We really don't need 7 different egis. Especially for just two Egi Assault buttons. Titan is already useless.

I wouldn't mind an AoE melee pet since those have an easier time giving Devotion to everyone.

I wouldn't mind Devotion being removed from Pet actions.

>sometimes your pet actions will be eaten because pet queueing is fucked
>this isn't even considering that it, as you said, takes a good second for them to do your pet actions
Don't get me wrong, I actually like that you have to actually hit them, but they need to tighten up the animation lock and make it smoother to use.

Well, if they went with the trance idea, I'd honestly rather we just dump egis and just go with trances. Maybe shorten most of them to 10s outside of the bigger ones like Phoenix or Bahamut, or something. Then we just go in and out of trance, calling upon primals for our attacks like an actual FF SMN instead of this bargain bin version. And Titan is alright for soloing, if you hold onto an egi-assault 1 for AoEs/TBs, since it gives you a pretty good shield.

What to level next?

I have a Machinist at 70 for some reason. And a DNC at 62.

MCH is very easy now. You should level it up.

You are not supposed to double weave during hypercharge.

This, and it feels shitty when you have to use R4 proc just for weaving shit like fester/assaults, when you should be saving it for movement heavy phases.
Even worse when you just don't have trance or R4 procs and you have to use R2
