Any anons on Ultros? I don't want to switch worlds.

Will these retards even feel the regret when random 4k gil vendor gear from 2 hours into SB outclasses it?

Ultros is literally the reddit server. There's a cuckchan FC too and it's full of as many cancerous normalfags and retards and you would expect

Maybe for glamour?

This is why I stopped myself from doing 60 stuff upon resubbing. Gonna suck for them. Meanwhile I'll finally level all these other classes.

Fuck, I had that feeling too. The game feels so dull socially. The FC I'm in is nice and does nice things for me, but it's so dull and saccharine.

Most anima look like dogshit, relic glams peaked with the zodiacs like hotdamn that WHM staff is just beautiful

What's your FC?

Sounds like a bunch of normalfags, like the FC I'm in on Famfrit. But they're not so bad once you've been in one for a while. There's some easily ignored drama. But it's different than the more autistic drama you see in chan FCs.

I feel like normalfag drama usually revolves around attention whores who stir things up to entertain themselves. Or the occasional troll.

normalfags is the best way to put it. It's nothing bad, I just kinda pine for an experience where I might forget to do anything productive for an hour because I got busy chatting about bullshit or talking shit with others.

The best source I've found for that is private social linkshells. I've joined several. Just ask around. I'm sure there are people you know who are in ones that you would like.

Worst case scenario, you can create your own social linkshell and invite everyone you like into it.

That's a good point, I hadn't even thought of it. Now to find decent people lel

They are just private chat rooms, more or less. You can find LS that are topic related, like pick up raiding, hunting, or crafting. Or just social chatting.

Man, I've played this game for way too long. But it's the best traditional MMORPG I've found, so no reason to quit now.

Oh, and pvp LS too. I'm sure there are plenty of those. I forgot about that since I don't pvp.

The question is, do I just /sh 'SHADILAY' in Limsa 24/7 until I find one?

kek, that should be funny if you did. But I have no idea.

How do you macro together an ability with a weaponskill? I just want Aeolian Edge to check for Duality if it's up it if not just do the Aeolian Edge but I can't seem to get it to work at all.

I asked in the last thread but I think it died before anybody replied. Does anyone want an early access code to Stormblood with 2 in-game items? I put $5 down at Gamestop so I could increase the profit from flipping their games yesterday, but I don't own the base edition nor do I own a PS4 so this code is useless to me.

I'll either end up cancelling the pre-order after or moving the 5 bucks into something else.

sure user?

steamcommunity.com/id/shickin/

Add me on steam so I can send you the information.

Which kind of normalfaggotry to be exact? I am on the JP world, my FC chat is mostly comprised of women mostly talk about gardening, growing your own vegetables, cooking manicures, paper art, and girl stuffs. I find it very comfy and a relief from normal boring stuffs like other games, politics, movies, etc.

I lost all motivation to play after reaching Ishgard.

go level DRK you fagaloon, its the best class quest in game.

Good point, not touched those jobs I unlocked yet and instant queues would be fun.

So is the place that Sharlians come from just a Holla Forums utopia? Fuck the Garlien empire, I want to be a neet and tell everyone to fuck off using magics.

Any anons in cerberus?

FOUR DAYS

Jesus when they said they were pruning skills and spells I didn't expect them to straight up throw out half the fucking spell and skill list while doing it. All healer dps rotations are beyond a fucking snoozefest now, balancing a wooping 1-2 dots and a single nuke and honestly they weren't that hard to begin with. Looks like all jobs in general are going to be a nightmare to level early on.
Bard looks alot more fun now it isn't a proto-caster, Sam looks like Monk 2.0, WAR is looking to be sitting in the shit tank corner this time around again, AST somehow still has fucking Balance despite raidwide buffs in general taking a nerf, Chain Stratagem is looking to work multiplicative instead of a flat rate and thus is utter trash, Fey Union looks tacked on, Selene hasn't been buffed and Lustrate 2.0 would have been great if Cleric Stance was still a thing, Lilies aren't as shit as WHMs are whining about, Dungeons look about as boring as they always do, Lakshmi will be pretty nuttable but there is going to be zero porn of her because its not a futa catgirl kinda odd the lack of porn with how lewd XIV is but whatever., RDM looks fun but sadly no swift raising with valcure+raise, weeb houses will be camped come 4.1 so good fucking luck getting one and the PvP changes do fuck all to the actual problems with PvP and still no answer to the bot issue plaguing Frontlines right now. Have they said anything about crafters or still dead on that front?

I'm sure it will be great expansion! In 4.4

You're right, better unsub user!

So is WHM being garbage confirmed or is it just speculation still? I'm thinking of trying out a healer class and want to know what I should play.

Play Scholar if you want to the alpha healer that makes his bitch fairy do the healing for him while you smack bitches around.

Play Astrologian if you like watching your team do more damage while you heal and be useful.

Play White Mage if you like swallowing dicks.

Dammit I really wanted to play White Mage just to because it's so classic.

Not odd at all, lad. The franchises that always get the most porn are the innocent ones, because the artists are all sick fucks that get off on corrupting and destroying innocence and I love them for it

Joke about it but this is genuinely the optimal option until at least 3 months into the expansion

wat. someone who played the early build said dualcast worked on everything, including raise. source faggot.

whm main here and i think people are overreacting a little. yes the lilly mechanic is shit, also the fact that we didn't get any sort of raid damage increasing utility is shit, but assize is going to be a on a fucking 60 second cooldown, and thats awesome.

Fuck assize, all they had to do was to give some sort of mechanic that gave utility while also boosting heals to maintain the white mage lore but nooo fucking yoshi had to make a mess again.
Was it so hard to give stone IV a heal proc or something? a mechanic tying your own overheals to some buff? or even just buff holy

In HW, we lost pro-shell, graniteskin and we got the holy nerf.

In SB, we lost a shit ton of our kit and need to pay to get them back via cross class skills. Stoneskin is completely gone now and divine seal got nerfed. The lily mechanic being shit is just icing on the cake. Whm has been the designated shitting street of healers for a while now and it's really fucking old.

The reason for no new healers is laughable considering Yoshi couldn't balance his way out of a wet paper bag. I still remember wm/gb being a dps loss for brd/mch when it first came out and the bs excuse Yoshi gave before someone explicitly showed him the math, which caused him to immediately buff it. War was an absolute mess as well before the buffs and so was Ast until they went overboard with the final balance buff rather than making spear more useful.


They fully expect you to spam cure 1 and cure 2 like a good pure healer for the ability to lower the cool down on your cds, which you would normally keep off cd regardless. This shit is beyond retarded, so I'm keeping a keen eye out for the patch notes. I doubt there was enough time to change lily, so I'm curious what bandaid fixes they'll do. They already made cure 2 proc a lily iirc.

Based on the 80% damage bs they tried with Bane, I fully expect them to try and nerf Holy again. There's a turbo retard on the dev team that hates aoes.


We'll find out soon enough how bad it'll be in less than a week. If it's bad, don't expect any real changes for a year or so.

So, I made the mistake of making a cat man, I fucking hate how he looks, in armour, in race clothes, in costumes everything. I want to change him… He's only level 17 or so, is it worth dropping money on changing him, or should I just re-roll

If you're new, you'll get a free fantasia after your first month's subscription time

na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/option_service/veteran_rewards/

I already used it a while ago for a different character on a different server

Every character on your account should get a fantasia in the mail

it isnt there :(
im just gonna re-roll, caddos look gay. gonna roll an Elzen(elves are the most aryan race) or a Highlander(the manliest race)

it does but dual verraise is like 85% your mana and RDM regen is real poor so its a "both healers died, fug"' scenario.

better to raise one then start casting vercure, its a solid 10k heal at 60-65 and far less mana.

AST here, WHM is a loser!

Could have sworn it was confirmed a mistake but can't find anything on it so disregard I suck cocks. Also the early build is filled with mistakes and misinfo so take it with a grain of salt.

I hate how everyone bitches and moans that its going to be the end of the world. WHM will still be fine. I'm not excusing the shitty lily mechanic, but still. Also stoneskin is getting replaced with Divine Benison, thats better in almost every way except that you have to have a lily to use it.

Although yeah the fact that we got our kit gutted and are forced to use cross role slots to get them back is retarded. maybe you guys are right. I might just switch my main to RDM and just use WHM in 4 mans from now on.

...

You just hate cute things.

I'm actually heavily considering buying the level and story skips for her just so I can go be a dark knight right away. And yes, >falling for the electronic jew, but I can't be doing with this.

why did you make an alt? just change your characters main class nigga, all you need is to equip an axe.

The level skipping and scenario skipping potions are made for retards that need an "alt".

WoW and Everquest fucked up the brains of most MMO players.

I think you mean EQ2.

I played WoW for like, 3 years and I never got used to that shit.

sounds pretty nasty.

It's more like attentive-guild normals. It's all very nice and pleasant but that's all it is and it's all about the game for the most part. 'No FC-leader I don't need any help but thank you' over and over again.

It certainly would explain why most of the smut I find is of two of the most clad npcs in the game (alphinaud and girl-alphinaud).

I hate this feeling. It's not exactly their fault they make me regret playing but god damn, between the casual who would rather glamor all day and the fag who won't stop using the auto translator to spam gay shit in idleshire I don't know if I can keep playing. The Mansion sized house is cool though. I like having two houses.

Patches will fix it. :^)

Why would you powerlevel an alt? Don't give those jews $50.

Do people have alts in wow? It used to be pretty common in mmos before wow.

Alts were and still can be useful in ff14. They were used in arr when you wanted to raid outside of the total lockout. They still are useful for crafters who don't want to be at the mercy of the mb jew. They're still useful for playing on different servers without paying $20 to SE. The different server bit is when you get stuck on a dead server or want to move to a smaller server during the beginning of expacs. Other than that, there's no point in alts unless you get really bored with the game. However, I suggest playing another game at that point.


People used to use toon a lot in coh.


Yeah. In a year.

The SE conference is Tuesday. We'll see what they have planned.

Anyone in Ultros in the fc 'Triggered' ? seems maymay

it's randum lala cancer.

purge lala

...

The 24 mans aren't "raids" in the traditional mmo sense. They're casual shit. The proper raids are savage stuff.

If you are on Ultros and want a non-poz FC you can join . We're only 8 people but we are active all the time and you make it bigger by joining. /tell Liu Piiu for an invite and/or send an application.

...

Better to look up skirts with up, my friend.

What skirt is that? Also how did you change your underwear color? Or does it change with the skirt

Its a southern seas swimsuit with a miqote loincloth underneath.

Certain skirts come with underwear if you dye the skirt the underwear is usually also died.

Fair enough. Galkas Roedons have a bitch of a time getting the camera under there. Also, SE conference soon. Who's ready to gut some more classes?

I don't know if I can justify leaving my fc, but it'd be nice if we made a non-poz LS too.

Someone once tried this before. It didn't work out.

it's a good feeling.

...

Why didn't it?

Was it me or did Yoshi look like he was about to beat the shit out of the gajin when he mentioned how westerns found out his patter about raid content > casual content > raid content.

The fishing game?

Soon.

He tried so hard to blow off the Whm question. By doing so, he made it clear that Omega savage isn't that hard which tells me Creator levels of difficulty. No glamour log yet, but it will keep getting asked till he cracks.

I have a bad feeling for Whm. The fanboys who blindly defended the changes are probably going to be the most violent come expac release. It's going to be a sight to see.

Can someone cut this down to just the Stormblood shit, preferably in a few webms?

I think he said somewhere a while ago that he was aiming for the difficulty to be comparable to Creator.

All I want from SB is that they put a whole lot of Minstrel Ballad type trials. Nidhogg and Thordan EX were easily two of the best fights in HW and seeing all the potential that went to waste in that regard still makes my ass sore
WHY YOSHI

That would be something else if done well. You could have a mechanic where the tanks, healers and dps get separated where each role has to out-do its respective warrior of darkness at some core mechanic or else. What if the players were allowed to wipe 3 times and had to wipe the warriors 3 times first? Each time a side gets wiped out, they get echo.


I remember that as well, but some people were saying that the damage was going to be midas/gordias-tier again as justification for the Whm changes. Others called bs and this just reaffirms it.

Stoneskin

Divine Benison

Divine Benison is shit compared to Stoneskin. I'd rather keep nerfed stoneskin than get this piece of shit.

I need a specific reward from a levequest does anybody know how you refresh them without having to actually do them?

The anima items? You pick up the chest then quit the levequest and make to retry it rather than select to remove it. If the levequest is red, then canceling it again will remove it. You need to select retry at that point.

If you're fishing for a specific levequest then you'll need to complete one that is available to reset them. Go look up the required levequests and select all of the ones that you'll need. It will reduce the pool of available leves and make it easier to both fish for the required leves and to complete the relic books.

You wanna know why people are bitching and moaning? It's because for 2 years now Pld got constant shit because it under performed in comparison to the other tanks. Pld is the "bad job." Now Whm will be. Fuck off.

So I'm bored and just finished my anima weapon. How long will it take a person now to get my relic weapon?

you can most likely solo all the content required at ilvl 260

I'm more interested in how long it takes to grind out.

Took me about 2 weeks start-finish doing fairly regular grinding along with capping scripture every week.

>twitter.com/BalanaRahl/status/874765009015799809

New Smn tool tips have been shown. Devotion is utter shit and Fester is confirmed 300 potency.

They really fucked up by not having a Matt equivalent in this game.

THE FUCK DO I DO

Anyone here gonna move to the new world on the EU datacenter?
I might since Moogle has too many french people on it.

I just want to get the MSQ out the way before Stormblood. I don't think there's too much to go.

I can't bring myself to get SB, I don't like changes to tanks, especially to DRK.


You can't escape the French and Germans if you're in EU

...

It's going to be Creator level of difficulty. It won't be that bad and nowhere near the difficulty of midas or gordias. As long as they aren't completely retarded, you should be fine.

28 HOURS TILL THE DOWNLOAD STARTS LADS, RIP IN PISS PSTRIPPLE

Feels real good to be able to play in the living room and my bedroom. There is something comfy about fishing on a large tv.

I've got an FFXIV account with Heavensward on it, but almost all of my characters are low level. What level will I need to play Samurai? Also, what's that level 50 skip thing I've been hearing about?

You will probably have to be Level 60 and must have finished the Main Story up to Stormblood if it is like it was with Heavensward

you'll be fine almost satan. it's like riding a bike. also checking those satan dubs.


personally, im hoping it'll be creator-level early on, then they'll ramp it back up for the later content.


you mean Maat from FF11? yeah, would be nice if there was something like that.

from what we've been told so far, no, you only need to finish the ARR MSQ to access SAM and RDM, both of which will start at level 50. then you can ride through HW content on those before heading to SB.

...

25 HOURS TO GO

Is that really all that's required to unlock RDM/SAM?
Surely it's not that simple.

I'm sorry for all these questions, I just can't seem to find an answer anywhere else

Yeah thats Holla Forums alright.

I dont know about gametime but theres a big push to sort some servers out so theres currently a transfer campaign that gives you a bunch of shit including free gametime. If you are returning and your servers dead or you are trapped on balmeme or moogle thats an option.

There are two potions. One to skip all MSQ, another to level one and only ONE job on that account on one character only to lvl.60. But unless they changed it i think those are not actually going live till a week or two after launch.

...

...

...

Fuck you, WHM was the shit at launch. Holy was a fucking nuke until it got nerfed to shit.

Which MSQ? I was at ARF myself, fell back in to DRG easily enough (not that it's hard).


No gametime, that comes with the base game only.

Guys, I just realized something

mia dubs confirm. ananta best beast tribe.

I'm on Shadows of the First, I need to do Xelphatol duty.
My main is also DRG and I'm remembering most of it. Keep fucking up some rotations tho since I was planning to change to MCH before I took my break.

>eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/topics/detail/54b16fc0f43a225bb4d72b9e28f136e7c4fe2596

You get 15 days of gametime free for leveling up an alt on whichever servers they designate to level 30. That should take a few hours at most once you get potd unlocked.

since the release of the expansion is imminent I am going to predict that the empire has attempted to make Ultima replicas and we will fight them. I will also predict that the ninja and monk quest line will be rather poor mirroring how drg was kinda lackluster in heavenward despite being the cannon class and should have been tied into the main quest.

please let it not be that. drg in HW wasn't terrible, but it wasn't great either, and surely didn't hold a candle to the badassery that was drg in ARR. personally, i'd like to see us, as nin, revisit the cute shinobi girl that was Oboro's assistant for the 30-50 class quests can't remember her name, but watching her be embarrassed to wear a bikini at camp bronze lake was adorable. be great to see her in her "natural" environment so to speak.

no idea what they'll do with mnk. i've learned long ago to set my expectations low so that every surprise i get is pleasant.

It can't be worse than hw Pld. Holy fuck was it bad.

paladin was a great example of how not to design tanks in such a dps oriented mmo, compare warrior or dark knight to paladin and you cant help but feel paladin was the ultra cuck of HW, both terrible and boring to play
fortunately square is doing something about paladins finally, unfortunately it seems all tanks are going to suffer another dps nerf when the community in general prefers that style of play over just holding aggro and using cooldowns when the boss is about to do something

nobody with half a brain wants to go back to the old WoW style of tanking, everyone complaining about warriors and dark knights being too dps oriented where proven to be literal worthless scum that dont actually do any real competitive content, just a collection of bad healers who cant keep up and monoclass paladins upset they get cucked on aggro by the offtank in dps stance during trials

From what we've seen so far, it looks like the dev team will bend over for Yoshi. This tells me that he's the one behind all of this shit.

Pld is looking good in SB, but the tank damage nerf is going to suck. Str being the tank damage stat again is fine, but then they made accessories role dependent. Given all of the aoe nerfs and the gutting of Bane, I'd say Yoshi is fucking retarded. The only way I can see this working is if they completely give up on ever forcing players back into older content, because pre-70 Smn is going to be painful. Sch aoe is fucking shit now with the 80% damage drop-off too. Ast still doesn't have any aoe pre-50 and Whm has been picked clean.

Of course, we'll know for certain tonight or tomorrow. Maybe someone knocked some sense into Yoshi? I just hope he didn't fuck over crafting.

Whistle 2: Electric Boogaloo coming soon

say bye bye to that title screen HW music. you will be missed minor tonality FF theme rendition.

more to the point, they nerfed aoe midway through the life of ARR, they can certainly un-nerf it midway through the life of SB. my hope is that they'll see some metrics from earlier content, realize it's an unfun slog, and either un-nerf aoe or make it less of a slog. im fine either way, but tbh, id prefer if there were less overall trash in a dungeon. sohm al hard and baelsar's are a decent metric as far as trash goes. i ran a mentor roulette that took me to amdapor keep normal, and my god that first trash area prior to the barrier before the boss is so fucking boring. it's probably really wishful thinking, but here's hoping they did a pass on older content to make it less grindy.


it was needed. now there might actually be choices in materia melding, as opposed to "str on the right side, crit > det on the left unless you're a warrior who needs a bit more skill speed to make the berserk cutoff." also no more slotting accuracy for savage content, thank fuck.

new xpacs typically always bring a revival of crafting, since crafted and properly overmelded gear tends to outperform the welfare stuff, and in some cases even outperforms the raid drops.

on the one hand, yeah, it was boring as fuck just being a pure aggro/mitigation tank, so as long as yoshi and co. balance the damage stances with the aggro stances, such that we get good damage while in damage stance for a tank obviously then that rewards good use of the abilities, which is a good thing. of course, they're changing so much shit all at once i'm sure it'll be an absolute shitshow for the first month at least, probably until the first major content patch.

tbh, i'm really going to enjoy watching the new meta shake itself out and seeing the conniptions bleeding edge raiders will go into with the meta changes

also, anyone else think that rdm and sam, from what we've seen, might be just a weeeeee bit overtuned?

To play the Devils Advocate. It was the players that pushed the 'every one must DPS' meta. Sure, stance dancing Cleric Stance and tank stances was a nice find and a good display of the player ingenuity. But then 'speedrun' memers and 'must be super elite world firsts' took it and ran a full marathon with it.

On the other hand, I do agree about WHM getting shat on like an outhouse in a lumberjacks lodge. They lose almost all of their kit for some Lily thing that looks like an afterthought. Unless they nerf SCH and AST heal potency so they can sell WHM as a 'premium big, interesting, and gimmicky heals all-in-one' (but then again AST got that star delayed heal bomb which looks awesome as fuck), I do not think this will work out well at all. Lets hope the WHMs complains reach Yoshi P. ears and pray to fuck he understand English well enough to comprehend all that shit.


Holy fucking shit. You don't need Trick Attack, Raging Strike, or anything anymore.

It wasn't. Tank dps was already nerfed when it got split between Vit and Str.


It's still going to be Str right side. That's exactly how it is now. The main difference is that Vit doesn't do shit for dps now. Nothing will change with melding. This was just Yoshi nerfing shit again.

When? I only remember the nerfs coming in with the 50% drop off to both Holy and Flare with HW. Those nerfs ended up spreading to Smn who now has an 80% damage nerf to Bane. I fully expect Yoshi to pull that shit again with 5.0. That is, the other aoes will get the same 80% drop off if the playerbase swallows that shit with a smile.

You don't know what you're talking about.

This is good

HW killed the shit out of crafting for the longest time.

That hasn't been true in forever if ever. I vaguely remember the crafted gear being useful early on if it was penta-melded. The main audience for crafters has always been other crafters. This was true in arr and it was true in hw. I can only expect Yoshi to fuck up crafting somehow given how well he's handled the tank and healer balance.

I doubt it. The last time that happened was Nin in arr. They've been coming out weak since then. From what I've seen, Rdm is going to have huge mana issues. I don't know enough about Sam to say otherwise.


Yoshi has already stated both that the Omega raid won't be that hard and that he will never tune them to Midas/Gordias difficulty again. The "meta" will always remain in the same in a themepark mmo. Nothing will change other than Whm getting shat on for two expacs in a row.

That'll never happen. Just look at early 3.0 Ast to see how that worked. They'll always balance the content so that every healer can do it. Hell, Whm even lost Divine Seal for a nerfed version that they have to buy back. They lost pro-shell and graniteskin in HW. The devs made it clear that they're not going to allow any healer to be required in terms of healing capability.

That's every mmo that has ever existed. I still remember how strong healers were in Coh and every game since then. The "only heal" healers were getting kicked from parties for being lazy shits even back then. Healers that couldn't dps as well were always seen as shitty unless the content didn't allow it. However, that's not going to work in ff14 given how well they handled midas/gordias.


Did you watch the E3 presentation? He knew, but didn't give a fuck. That's where he told the playerbase to take it to endgame raids to see why they balanced the healers the way they did while also saying that they don't balance healers around raids in the same presentation. It was beyond stupid.

Is Trick Attack still around? A lot of jobs lost access to Raging Strikes without getting a replacement. I'm referring to Blm and Smn specifically. Smn got its pre-70 aoe shat on hard, which is going to suck for any content lower than 70. Blm got fire 2 nerfed a bit, but Thunder 2 is aoe now so it might balance out.

Brd and Mch got changed so much, that I have no idea how they'll play now.

What? No player is going to just stay in a dps stance the entire time nor will they stay in a dps-nerf stance the entire time. If Yoshi thought players were just going to stay in dps stance the entire time then he's terminally retarded. Of course, I may have misunderstood you.

That's because Creator was too easy for them, so they ran out of things to do other than try to beat it quickly. Eventually other groups made it to that same realization. If Omega really is Creator levels of difficulty as he's hinted at, then it'll be more of the same.

Who knows though? Maybe he made last minute changes? I highly doubt given Yoshi's past and what we know of him, but there is that chance.

...

Never played a FF. Can I dip into this without running into continuity issues with any story?

Yes none of the final fantasies have a connected story. It's why are there sequels to specific games like Final Fanatsy X-2.

at HW they made the new classes weak as shit and then buffed them
guess now they are doing it the other way


more specifically warriors who could do fat damage in full str gear while still tanking normally, thats why the vit/str change happened because after the initial DK buffs paladin had absolutely no place in the game and square wasn't prepared to drastically change the class mid expansion, all tanks suffered because square didnt know how to make paladin not shit

if anything tank damage should be increased across the board now that paladin is more then just combos and defensive CDs, health pools should be slightly reduced too


actually yoshi is pretty prone to making drastic last min decisions before major content updates,

Here are the Smn changes so far


I've read some other e3 reports where their abilities are getting nerfed down a bit. The 500 pot heal for Sam is now 200 pot for example.


None of them are connected unless there's a title-2 or title-3 in their name

...

...

Planning to come back and play once they announce exodus as one of the eligible servers for the bonus gold feathers. Levitas Vivi here, planning to come back

who

Bonus?

worst case scenario, it can't be as bad as 1.0.

Looks like I am probably getting kicked from my long time FC soon, anyone on Tonberry recruiting? Somewhere I can dump Trump memes and not get reported by people from Melbourne would be fucking great.

got any pics of revamped skills for war, pld and drk?

mch would be nice too, i have taken a liking to the convoluted bastard

=YAMERO

Precisely why I play on the US data centre anyway. At least I can always find people who speak the same fucking language.

Is my shit broken or is this preparation for early access stuff?

LAUNCHER UPDATED, 2163.48MB PATCH DOWNLOADING NOW AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Early Access niggs. Tonight at 2am you can log in and wave your rapier/katana at the serfs and plebs for the next 4 days.

I have to go to work but these patch notes are gonna make me late

nice

thank fuck.

WWWWHHHHHAAAATTTT

this is a good change, the only point of this gear at 70 is glamour, i did so many runs of dusk vigil to get this set, easily the worst leveling dungeon in HW

HAHA, TIME FOR SERVER CRASHES, EAT SHIT BALMUNG DATACENTER.

I only played bard until recently, I leveled a healer because I didn't want to deal with hours of queuing when stormblood launched. Sadly I picked WHM. I hope the changes aren't as bad as people think

See you, space cowboy.

That Garlean anthem is godly.

OH BABY

>this kills the PvP even futher
SE stop! It's already dead!

It seems to be only a dps debuff now

combos should have been like that in the first place

I don't understand why some WHMs think that the changes are actually bad for WHMs. If anything these changes make the job better you retard. Besides how could you stand being a WHM main through HW were you like actually trying to give yourself a headache?

oh i cannot wait for the salt from this

I suppose but the fact they removed class attack and defense buffs also removed a lot of the depth of some classes that had the depth of a fucking thimble. Speaking of questioning changes,
What does that mean for overmelding? Can you just meld to your heart's content?

holy FUCK THEY FUCKED MONK OVER


I'm just going to get it to 70, then pick up Samurai. Fuck this.

Soon

Time to switch to SAM then

Every job sucks. Time to switch to WOW

inb4 the usual tripe about global cooldown times and not needing a jump potion to skip content

okay marketer kun.

seriously thats the best part of Stormblood imo, played bard in 2.0 and dropped it hard at lvl 52, bowmage is the shittiest fucking thing that ever happened.

Yeah no longer being bowmage is nice, too bad bard is now basically useless in terms of party utility unless you really want a whopping whole 5% vuln up. Because for some reason they decided to put mp/tp regen songs into the role pool

As bad as SB is looking, it's still miles above current WoW. Though with the way things are going another expansion or two it might hit WoWs levels of terrible.

Way I see it right now it's looking like this is FFXIV's cataclysm. I hope I'm wrong because I honestly enjoyed this game, but I'm not staying on another sinking ship if you know what I mean

If I recall correctly, I think the they (the dev team or the man himself, cannot remember exactly) said that what they intended Cleric Stance for is healer to be able to solo outside the party like leveling, end game sidequests, etc. So they were pretty surprised when players took it and do the healer stance dancing.

I do not exactly like those 'speedrun' memers and 'meta elitists'. I get it, they are damn good at what they do, breaking down components of the game, analyse it and find the most effective way of clearing it. Exactly why everything will be boring to them, because no matter how hard the content is they will find a way to beat it or abuse it (like the coil, getting boss to enrage instead of playing mechanics), then they will FUCKING complain that the 'game is too easy, boring, GG shitgaem'.

Not realising that everyone else are not as invested as them, not as hardcore as them, I mean we don't have to vet out jobs or need deeps-meter like the west do (I think) here in JP server. We do raids with PLD, WHMs (yes, 2 WHMs), we might wipe more than a few times, we tackle bosses without watching vids and learn it as we go as friends and FCmates. We have fun nonetheless.

The destination is not everything, the journey there is the big part of the fun. And I think being a meta jerk is not fun at all.

Also BRD main here. I think the we lost the boost, our AoE capabilities. But the main gimmick is still there (2 DoTs, crit and reset moves). We are still MP/TP battery though I fucking hate the fact is it is on long CD and only for 30s. Just drain our MP/DPS as usual is fine.

With new expansion comes new catbois.

Perhaps things are different in Asia, but that's been the norm for western mmos since I've been playing.

I started with rs in 2003/4 then went on to coh in 2006. There were no healers in rs, but there were in coh and damage was big part of their role. The true healer skill set "Empathy" had a shit ton of powerful buffs on top of their pure heals. I only played wow for a day in the burning crusade, so I have little idea how they worked there. However, healers in coh would get the boot if they tried to just spam heals rather than dps unless a fire/kin or fire/psi was farming. The only person that really mattered at that point was the fire/psi or fire/kin.

I remember dpsing being the norm in Conan, Warhammer, CO, DCUO and Aion. I honestly don't remember much about Aion, so I might be wrong there.

Datamining is a go btw.

Susano/Lakashima weapons and accessories will be i320.

dataminers getting ready to ruin everything as usual.

It looks like the crafting changes are good. The Specialist abilities got unfucked and Yoshi gave everyone access to the core abilities.

The typical wow style of healing was to put on netflix or your tv and use healbot to make sure people didn't die. If people died it was because they fucked up on mechanics. Of course this laziness is part of the reason why progression raiding in WoW could be so frustrating.

Wow is still fucking things up years later. I remember when NcSoft fucked over coh to try and chase the wow crowd similar to how fps' went after the halo audience.

As worried as I was for Whm, I'm actually pretty concerned for Sch now. Their aoe dps got gutted and the new tether skill looks like shit. The fairy got nerfed, their mp regen is worse and their abilities are still really expensive.

Looking at the datamining, SCH is utter garbage. Chain Strat got nerfed again going to 15% and a 10 second duration and isn't flat rate so you are looking at a wooping 2-4% crit increase to a single target, embrace down to 250, fey illu got hit to 10%. Bane? is still the same as early build (as in utter shit), Fey Union needs to be within 10y of the target but no idea if the tether ends if they go out of range or not, Selene got no buffs what so ever despite needing them, atherflow got nerfed to 10%, all there spells cost like 30% more for no reason and sch still has the worse raw healing out of the three. Muh OP fairy means fuck all with cleric stance gone. Meanwhile AST still has un-nerfed balance and Noct Stance still has a bonus 15% healing. Sad thing is WHM spamming nothing but Ass Size has better AoE then SCH do right now.

Don't blame ya, depending on how awful SB turns out I might jump ship too.


Does a AST player date Yoshi or something? It's fucking ridicules. Thank fuck only one card buff can be used at a time otherwise there's be no reason to bring any other healers besides AST.

...

Can we see stats of the gear yet?

I can't wait to see what the "let's wait and see" players are going to say. I already expect the "it was an old build" players to be doing some mental gymnastics over this shit.

I'll keep looking.

They'll just move on to the next part of this picture.

As an user about to be ass fucked by whm nerf Im focusing on gathering/crafting right now. So I'm gonna be super comfy with what was released info wise. All those script changes and changing the cradting lvl is fan-fucking-tastic. Also the beachwear

Luckily, I leveled every job already so I can switch back and forth. Smn is looking pretty shitty pre-70, so I'm going to go with Blm as my go-to dps again. I bought into the Bahamut hype, but it isn't worth it imo. I think I'll continue on with Ast as well. Sch got beaten bad and we already knew what was happening to Whm. The tanks are looking pretty ok from what I've seen, but I don't really tank that much. I may continue with Pld now that it has some aoe dps or War. I never really cared for Drk.

The crafting changes are looking really good.


I look forward to it.

Any chaos friends looking at transferring into Omega? The free transfer, gil and feathers are tempting…

small error in my rant, chain strat duration is 15 seconds but is now 120 second cd instead of 90 also doesn't help that most of the SB spells for them don't really add anything to the class and it isn't going to be fixed anytime soon while whm is crying the loudest.


the way things are looking, its going to be just that. Some mild communication gets around the single card buff limit anyway. Still can't believe that raidwides across the board has been nerfed to the ground, yet balance is still the same and they got another way to draw the fucking card.


Its gonna be something retarded I tell ya. I also feel like the "We wanted to balance healers and tanks so we aren't going to add new ones" point is a pretty moot point if they have still failed to balance said roles and gave them shit nobody asked for.

I like my FC to much to leave, even though I'm on moogle. I will get the free 15days though

I'm going to see if I can get a few of my FC friends over before making my mind up. At least housing will be more easily obtained.

Most likely gonna just level an alt on it just for the free 15 days subtime. Might transfer depending on how much the server location change in brugerland fugged my ping which last time I checked was a pretty heavy increase. I feel like that's the price to pay to not play with frogs. Fuck frogs.

Frogs are on Moogle, you're only really screwed if you go on PF!

I'm retarded, so I don't understand. Accuracy is gone and we have %100 hit to anything except what's a higher level?

Yes. Now accuracy stat is a mini crit stat for dps jobs only that stack with normal crits. Skill Speed now also effects auto attacks.

Isn't the core gameplay designer actually play the game on a fucking tablet instead of KB+mouse?

>na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/news/detail/80cd4583bf743600105b947d6906d0909189e479

I never realized Japan had so many worlds.

I've read that. Wow has gone to shit though from what I've heard. It would make sense that the devs would reflect that.

Everytime i get a urge to play this im immediatly put off how annoying it is to get an account and to get it installed withouth patch shit fucking everything up

I've always installed it through steam without ever encountering any problems. Worked fine when I used to not use the steam version as well.

preliminary look says that they might have done this. they may have "overbalanced" warrior down too much with so many changes at once, but they haven't done much for or against drk, just added some general utility like stronger aoe without spamming MP and better group utility outside of just being a tank. pld certainly seems to be much better than it was, but i dont think it will overshadow war or drk completely. drk brings solid group utility and good defense vs magic, while war still has the coveted slashing debuff and highest dps out of all the tanks. we'll see how things play out in a few hours.


the nice way of saying it is that it's still a "work in progress" but the truth is ast is so far ahead of sch and whm at this point it's comical. unless all encounters in the game have been retuned to work specifically with whm and sch changes, then what's the point? even then, ast will be able to handle all that shit no problem, and without any new gimmicks to boot. earthly star looks fucking awesome and OP though.

checking satan dubs.

have you tried updating your IE? the launcher uses IE as it's foundation, and if your IE hasn't been updated in forever then the launcher will be fucked.

also, anyone got a link to the patch notes? the launcher link keeps giving me a bad gateway or some shit.

Should work eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/topics/detail/fe38225b3d83e182213d5a4a99dc705ae58ea156

PLD is the only one who didn't get massive nerfs, and even then they still got them because of the VIT>STR swap.


2 AST unironically seems to be the preferred setup with how bad WHM/SCH got hit

LMAO2BALANCE

that did it, thanks user. appreciate it.

so many classes lost dot's that it's not a thing really. war lost fracture, sch and smn lost 2 dots apiece, and every dps class that would sub fracture lost it as well (so drg and mnk really, pld to a lesser extent).

also, don't forget that tenacity is a tank-only stat now that replaces parry and increases all sorts of stats, including dmg dealt.

also, anyone else see this?


im reading this and it looks like it means "you can't use any ability or action in PotD that you haven't unlocked prior to entering PotD." could this mean the end of PotD shitters? am i reading this wrong?

Role abilities as in new cross-class.

It means that any action you've unlocked prior to entering PotD is immediately available as soon as you enter, even if you start PotD at level 1. The other half says, like you assumed, if you enter PotD at level 1 base, even if you level enough in PotD to get higher-leveled skills, you still won't have access to them because you haven't unlocked them outside of PotD.

It won't end PotD shitters, though. Really, you just need to level enough to get your second or third skill in your base combo to get through most of PotD.

TEN HOURS TO GO

I don't think that works the way you think it does user. DRK still got hit pretty hard.

Also, no it will not end POTD shitters at all, POTD is so easy it doesn't matter if you only have auto attacks, you can still clear 1-50

...

Man, all of these VI designs being realized in 3D for Stormblood, but you can bet your ass that these will unfortunately never be a part of it.

Its out tommorow if you preorder

wat, well i have an early access code I redeemed, but I haven't actually bought sb yet. I need to no life like 100+ quests :l

get dem jump potion goy

docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1SImRPEGzc81a-eQI2n4Vn8WMzzwh0L0GSeem1uqKPpY/htmlview?sle=true#

heres the datamined skills, leave it to leddit to not datamine the stats on equipment the useless fucks

just fucking end my life breh

Fucking kill yourself Yoshi-P. we knew you wouldn't have the time to fix things. we knew you were bullshitting about 'muh april build'.

...

I just fucking bought the expansion, should I just refund it. SCH main, seeing how fucked SCH is now is just great.

And this was supposed to be the "monk" expansion. What a fucking laugh.

Hah, thats exactly what I just said to my friend.

who knows, maybe the increase of the STR traits will make up for it? i dont see it though

also fuck that forbidden chakra nerf

So what? Got a crit buff, shitload more MND to nuke with, and a bunch of AFK buttons like excogitation. Hardly the worst hit job.

See

There's literally no reason to play any healer than the AST.

twin snakes and passives were buffed in exchange though. I think this is more of a shift than a nerf. This makes sense according to one of the dev diaries where they said they wanted to make the difference between a scrub and a proper player much smaller.

Yeah, especially with the fucking NIPPON job being sucked off fucking hard. Even RDM doesn't look as fucking ridiculous as that faggot.

in all honesty i was also interested in SAM because i am a huge fucking weeaboo, but i didnt want it to be like this, i wanted to keep my MNK main

Twin snakes was always at 10%. Traits were only merged. I made this mistake too. Monk is still shit.

fugg

guess ill play RDM as my DPS class. But ill prolly be tanking and healing the whole time just like last xpac anyways.

we'll have to see what it's like in practice. looks like there's going to be a lot more chakra flowing for mnk. whether or not this will make a difference remains to be seen.

Rapiers are beast any way, fam.

How long fam?

Little under 4 hours

I want to hug it

I'm really, really wary about coming back to this game. Lots of changes seem to be taking place for zero reason, such as removing DoTs for just about every class, not just some classes. Some things aren't being changed in ways that make any sense from a design perspective, such as skill/cast speed lowering the cooldowns of oGCD abilities or Shield/Sword Oath changing the functionality of specific PLD abilities to be more tank/damage focused, respectively.

100% fag-only game

Sounds right up your alley, then.

Why even live? Maybe we'll see their outfits as glamour options at some point.

I feel like I wasted my time getting Monk up to 57.

but she's a major NPC user. she was even shown in the trailer a few times. im sure the rest is just a matter of time, given how the escape from vector seems to be the major inspiration for at least 3 new enemies.

I was retarded enough to get a sub 20 days before SB, barely touched the game since. I played DRK and didn't really like the changes so I'm not getting SB, I moved to another mmo. I'm monitoring these threads because I'm slightly amused by how hyped people are.

Would that woman even count? I mean, the Dahling/Barb-E enemies (or whatever later translations called them) were literally painting monsters and a bizarre manifestation of Cyan's subconscious dream world.
I guess, I guess they're both smoking a pipe. But that's a bit of a stretch if you ask me.

yeah i think it would, because the same sprite was also present very early on as an actual real person when you go through Zozo the first time. given Cyan's, er, "traditional" nature, i always sorta thought that his experience in the "looser" world of Zozo left an impression in his mind that you later fight in his dreamworld.

HOLY SHIT IT'S HAPPENING

EU BROS LOG IN RIGHT NOW

>na.finalfantasyxiv.com/jobguide/redmage/
V E R H O L Y

Just wait until the return of fate shitters. Spam flash for xp tanks will soon make their grand reappearance. You're going to get shitters regardless unless you start forcing players into harder content where the retards either get good or get told to fuck off.


The main dataminer got scared of creating another Diadem weapon fiasco, which can be read in a number of ways. He also mentioned that the stats would appear inflated, which could mean they're in the 200s.


I would hold off SB unless you feel like moving to Ast or another job. Sch got its aoe fucked retarded. Holy shit were those changes bad.


Soon. Gilgamesh seemed pretty empty when I logged last night, so I'm curious how crazy it'll be in a few hours. Luckily, I have other characters on a smaller server so it won't really matter to me.


I'm expecting a ton of changes in 4.1, which will probably be in a year. I also expect a ton of players to lose their shit with the changes which would explain why SE was so afraid of releasing the combat changes. That or they were making a lot of last minute changes to try and salvage some jobs. I'm hoping it's the latter.


I feel really lucky that I decided to main Blm again, because holy shit did it make out like a bandit. However, Rdm does look pretty fun.

>na.finalfantasyxiv.com/jobguide/whitemage/

What the fuck. Where is the logic of making cure 1 and cure 2 mandatory for the procs and removing the chance for the free cure 2? What is that dumb island gook thinking?

Oh nvm. That says cure 3. It was still useless, but not necessary.

The man thought it was a good idea to have an rng system that requires you to spam 2 heals, that most whms try not to use at all and all you get for it is for some shitty CD reduction and a more limited stoneskin. Clearly Yoshi has just lost the fucking plot.

yeah because diadem weapons are stupid

What is the FINAL Fantasy Easiest game of all?

I hate RPG's, but I want a game of Final Fantasy that is super easy and without any difficulty

Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest

I'm hoping Yoshi gets shit-canned.


FF12. You can set the gambit system, so that the characters play by themselves.

I have NA account but my server is on EU server. Can I download the game now?

I look for RPG's games that are so easy that this little kid can overcome them without getting stuck somewhere.

And also have to be RPG's where there is nothing grinding

You lying piece of shit, it still down according to this website and lodestone is down too
arrstatus.com/

You could have downloaded the game hours ago. You just can't play it yet.

The 2016 time stamp didn't give it away?

Anons who were thinking of transferring, how does that make you feel?

Nervermind, it work

Is he playing RPG's for the gameplay or the story because you're stretching for the near impossible here with those requirements.

Isn't ME3 have a skip button for combat?

I would play it for the game


Besides, I do not like complex stories.


I prefer the stories super easy, without anything of entanglement and that can be understood at first


I hate turn-based fighting.


I prefer the real-time combat

and I only play video games Rated E For Everyone on the ESRB

I fucking knew it! That fucking island gook was planning on eventually hitting every aoe with that 80% bs nerf. Flare just got a 70% nerf to aoe.

Your damn fault for disrespecting the content.

You can do several flares in a row now with umbral hearts buff.

Although overall AoE is getting totally shat on, so fuck your anyways Yoshi.

It sounds like Yoshi is now catering to the literal retards of ff14. This expac is looking really shitty. Like Holy fuck, how can Yoshi fuck it up so badly?


I've read that you can only do 3-4 in a row. Still, that 70% nerf is going to shit all over that consider we could already do 3 in hw and arr. You Flare, convert, Flare, mana potion, then Flare. From what I've read that hearts mechanic gives you another free flare.

It says it reduces flares cost by 2/3s. So 1/3 of your max mp? Cast 3, convert, another, potion, another.

That's why I'm not getting it. I started playing last Christmas and played for 2 months, then did another 2 from April. Going through ex trials in ARR was fucking hell. Leveling dungeons were barely bearable. I won't even mention HW trials and raids. The playerbase is just too shitty. You know what the punchline is? Most players don't give a shit about the combat, they just do daily roulettes because dungeons are pretty.

Why did they leave in the 20% chance on crit? Why does anyone think a proc off a proc is good design? Just make it take off one second for each crit, fuck this gay shit.

It gets consumed after the first flare, so it only gives you one extra flare. It essentially is an extra convert.

RIP that dream then. Also I forgot but you can get an extra flare maybe 2 out of lucid dream, depending on how much MP it regens per tick, due to the tiny minimum mp cost requirement on flare.

HOW THE FUCK DO I STAY AWAKE

I highly doubt it. It's shroud and mana doesn't regen fast enough with shroud for an extra flare or 2. If the minimum got removed, then it would be nice. However, I'm hoping they get rid of that 70% bs instead and fire Yoshi.

You niggers are so fucking silly, it's so obvious this is your first mmo and you weren't even here for HW launch either.
Expacs at launch are ALWAYS dogshit

relive the existential guilt that you had to murder your dog.

thats how im doing it

I was thinking something like.

B3>B4>F3 + triple cast>F2>F2>Flare>Swift cast>Flare + Convert + Lucid Dream>Pray for MP ticks/flare cost to be low>Flare>Potion>Flare.

Could be possible, the base MP from 60-70 on casters didn't seem to rise much, and lucid has to be nice as its healers main source of MP regen.

BUT user NEW CONTENT IS MEANT TO BE DONE IN THE FIRST MONTH AFTER ITS RELEASE, IF YOU PLAY IT LATER YOU MISSED OUT

It isn't. Ast had a stronger version that they could extend, so popping it at 50% mp was useful. Whm, which the current version is based off of, had to pop it at 75%. The problem is that Flare eats up all of your mana, so the only ticks that will help will be the ones after your last Flare and before the next one. Lucid is not going to give you enough mana quickly enough for another Flare based on what we know of shroud and Flare.


This is true. SB is looking like a mess.

AST can still extend their lucid dream. AST can extend ANY buff that they used, hell they can extend mind potion duration's on themselves.

Also I will be sure to test out the whole lucid/flare thing when servers go live out of curiosity.

lmao enjoy your clownshit meta full of retards shitting the bed in every single duty

I'm well aware. I'm just saying that it'll act more like shroud for whm than for ast as Blm can't get that extra bit of mana from it. No ast is going to bother extending it either when they can do that for aoe balance instead.

For sure.

eye am excite

hah hah he still thinks war gets flash

pic related as a war who doesn't get flash any more

looks like they dropped the nearly useless -50% cost on the next cure 3 because it was nearly useless. they still have the "cure 1 can give you a free cure 2" proc though.

wheredoyouthinkweare.webm


oh, i get it. 3/10 inb4 "i was only pretending to be stupid"

at least it isn't 80% less? at least the last decrease only went up by 10% instead of 15%? seriously wtf yoshi. you and the dev team better have cleaned up a lot of the useless trash we need to slog through plus there's i guess? not sure how that will play out overall.

according to the job guide it's tied to blizzard 4. as things are now, if you have enochian up, blizz 4 is spammable, right? couldn't you just blizz 4 > fire 3 > flare rotation > blizz 3 > blizz 4 > repeat? or am i missing something here?


jesus hitler, you need this webm more than i did after my divorce

thanks for that
he was 17. he lived a good life, but it was still too soon for me

are you fucking shitting me?
HW was the smoothest MMO launch i have ever been in, the only problems with early HW was the 3 overpopulated US servers full of shitters who wanted to join the cool guilds and the gordias update which happened after launch anyway

i get ya user. my dog probably saved my life the night my marriage went to shit. she's only ~2.5 yrs now, and she's a small dog so she'll be around awhile, but i can't imagine life without her. even the thought of her being gone fills me with incoherent rage

maybe it's time for a new doggo to share in your life user. there's gotta be a scrapper out there that you can rescue and give a good life of headpats and play to.

nah not yet, this was literally last night at 12:35
its gonna take me some time
hell i still thought about finding him to send him out today

oh shit. yeah, that is way too recent. fuck man, sorry to hear that. fwiw, you gave him peace and freedom from pain after having lived a good, loyal life. there are few deaths better than that.

imo, have a wake for him. dog's aren't called man's best friend just for the hell of it. even if it's just yourself recounting some good memories, or hell even here with us, it does no good to avoid those feelings. ya gotta get em out

t. therapist

dat "open" dungeon. i didn't even know i wanted something like that.

What does the Battle Voice tooltip mean by direct hit? For that matter, why does everything about nu-Bard seem retarded?


How did you forget about Ahn'Qiraj?

1 minutes left

A lot of things about the job changes are retarded, because Yoshi is probably retarded himself.

its like a mini-crit.


never did it so wouldn't know.

SERVER IS LIVE!!!!!

Oh my fuck, it's not a new stat, is it?

NO BULLSHIT
arrstatus.com/

it's beautiful.

its up niggaz

ill never get that new jap house.

yeah, it's a new one. replaces accuracy iirc.

houseing is not available until future update

oh, also, it can stack with crit. so you can get a normal hit, a direct hit, a crit, and a direct hit+crit, complete with two !! after the number.

JESUS

Good fucking luck.


Soft drums and melody during char select too. Beautiful.

You failed to plan, man. Always get some early sleep for this kind of shit.

I'm gonna post my roe to pass the time

in the mean time, embed for funsies

How can Japs be so smart and so fucking stupid? In spite of its current, miserable state, WoW managed to stay alive for so long by studying its competition carefully, seeing what they did that worked and set them apart and adding it into their own game to improve it. You can hate WoW/Activision/Blizzard all day long, but this is still a fact.

XIV feels like it's flailing; throwing dumb shit at the walls to see what sticks rather than adding sensible, intuitive changes. The change to Bard songs is a great example of this. Now the job has three different playstyles that rotate during the fight, each with radically different mechanics. It adds complication without actually adding any depth to the class. The new Monk abilities seem schizophrenic at best. They got, what, four new charges? Why? And why does Tornado Kick still have no real purpose? In all honesty, I'll probably resub in the near-ish future, just to see the changes for myself. It'd be nice to be able to post feedback on the forums, but I don't think Jap devs read them or listen to their players in the same way that Western devs do, for better or worse.

...

WoD and Legion prove otherwise

IMO, I think they give more attention to their own side more than the west seeing how the west shitters and retards killed their games with 'constructive complains' and 'suggestions' on the forum. Shit like this is what every designer went through, clients who spew shit and does not know exactly want they want and give shit briefs, you have to give them shit they don't even know they wanted. Of course, this can backfire spectacularly. There are pros and cons to this method though.

SASUGA, SQUARE ENIX

RIP bloodbath.

Have you tried the bunny suit on your roe? I don't know if its just me but it seem like the bunnysuit make the femroe boobs looks smaller than the body. Looks really weird an unappealing.

My muscle memory gonna fuck up all these new rotation, I'm gonna look like a total scrub

it sets your bust to the lowest size bunny suit a shit for titty monsters

not yet but ill give it a shot. ive heard is a big issue with titty monster roes such as ourselves.

I don't see a use for Flare anymore, but Foul is looking good.

checking those 3's.


also, if you're a warrior, it seems the new quest at 60 is bugged at broken mountain in moraby, so dont get trapped there. wait it out a bit. unlock sam or rdm i guess.

new calsses bugged to, have a friend who cant get into the solo instance for one of em

Yup. Solo instances are screwed tits-up right now. Can confirm, have to relog in. Fortunately, its only 800 this time so . . . Time to make more coffee.

The duty server is dead. I doubt anyone can get instances running atm. An FC mate did get his war quest done earlier, but it's fucked right now.

Come on SE, get it together

jesus christ

Instances not working at all, even MSQ ones

yeah you get a black screen

how homosex

Somebody in SE has been forgetting something ~
100 man / 1 min login. Okay. Great. Solved one of the logistic nightmare, but somehow forgot the instances.

post it faggot

BTW. The bread already hit autosage. OP or someone else with the template or whatever the fuck necessary to make a bread; make another bread.

...

checking those dubs


is this what schizophrenia looks like?

Nice dubs

Back to the FF14:BS queue

Snek.

...

Where do you get the SAM starter gear and RDM starter gear?

gifted to you when you finish the first quest for each. literally the very first "before you even fight anything as a part of the quest line" quest. it's in a lootbox that should go into your inventory, with weapon in your armoy iirc.

Please help

This one already hit autosage. Go to another bread >>>/12830150/

I pray to fuck this is the right way to link to another thread, I forgot how.

Other servers have the issue with the Cold Steel quest?

Yeah I didn't realize that was a thing until a buddy of mine boosted his WAR and got the same sort of loot box.

Your friend has my condolences for wasting that on WAR.
