FFXIV 3.4

Well the maintenance just started.

How about a FFXIV thread in the mean time?

What's you guys opinion on the AST buff?
Will the meta turns out to be AST/SCH from now on?

>AST/SCH
You're damn right it is. We're forcing our WHM to learn AST.

I picked the game back up last week. Was surprised by how massive the nerf to the relic grind was. Back when it was introduced I just though fuck that shit, now I got half the unidentifiable stuff in one week, will have it finished in another.

Glad I didn't waste my time on the grind before.

If you didn't work on 230 will getting the unidentifiable stuff, it will take you 4 weeks to get the oils.
And then about 1 month or 2 for 240 if you take it easy and play everyday.

>209/240
Couldn't make it in time.
They can buff ast as much they want, ast mains will still be whiny shitters that never dps.

We've got a FFXIV thread on /vg/ right MEOW!

Stop shilling here.

Full Patch notes btw.

na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/topics/detail/159309cb1ef0706cf37a9a91e3e18865b70097a6

So what are these meant to be?

It's probably for your Squadron, if you looked at their stats they were divided into 3 category.

Any info on when the maintenance is supposed to end or when we'll be able to download the patch?

>when you get banned for talking about the game on /xivg/

>/vg/
>MEOW!


GET THE FUCK OUT OF Cred Forums. We are not going to fucking /vg/

>What's you guys opinion on the AST buff?
Can't spell "master race" without AST

After a year of crying and whining you are finally decent, congratulation!

GODS=MODS

>AST/SCH new meta

literally what
Do you even know how useless AST is if you don't consider the cards?

Everyone too busy reading the patch notes to post.

Sucks that its takes 6 fucking new type of lumber to make the tier 4 Aquarium, but I'm fully prepared to spend the gil.

WHM/SCH on suicide watch

It's same as prelim but with recipes shown, so jews can camp market boards to buy whatever is left.

>tfw capped seals in preparation of the promotion

Til Sea swallows my cock

>no wind-up bismarck

This was the only thing I wanted, enjoy your shitty "raid tier" that will have you be killing the same 5 bosses for a year until 4.0 releases.

Seriously, was the idea to make AST on par with both healers that specialise in their own thing?

The buffs are really good and helps with statics that run WHM/AST. But I don't it over throws any of the healers. But I think if I got a AST that did Noc sect I'd be okay with it. While SCH still has the edge because of the fairy, having a Noct Ast replace them if parties want them. I think it will be fine.

>I told Yoshi-P to keep buffing AST he actually did it the absolute madman

Every job getting reworked come 4.0

hopefully that means WAR/SCH won't be fucking required.

>No SMN changes
>Still no egi glamour
>Still stuck with fucking Garuda

Servers are already down, but when they go up tomorrow yeah.

>mfw I stockpiled hive forewings, glass, and a ton of furniture materials to make the most popular pieces and get mad dosh tomorrow

Why is FFXIV's community so awful about knowing what will be in the obvious patch cycle?

If that means MNK will get more comboing and less getting fucked by GL3 dropping off for every little thing, I welcome the change.

How long is the downtime for today?

I wouldn't mind completing my housing collection by snagging an apartment in Ul'dah

Great, more gil that i'll never use.

Well they covered all primals without particle effect shit at this point so I don't know what to expect for 3.5 beyond Mhachi Raid 3 and Zurvan

>you'll still be stuck with garuda regardless of glamour.

I bet they get lazy and don't use change the animation of the skills when used as a glamour.

>balance is now 20%

MIGHT AS WELL UN-NERF FLARE WHILE WE'RE AT IT

And holy.

24 hours

24hrs

>24 hours without XIV

wat do

But then you'll have Balance Holy and Flare destroying content not meant to be sped run, since Yoshi wants players to slow down and take their time

Awesome, thank you anons.

Today shall be a day where college algebra is actually done on time

Play Overwatch.

Nothing changes for me really. Still at lvl 57 BRD and probably around halfway through the story since I'm one of the 10 people who actually read all that shit and watches every cutscene. Heard clearing coils is important though, played up until T10 with my FC so I guess I will ask around if some people are willing to join for the rest, medusa fight was pretty fun.


Also, what are some must have cross skills for BRD? Been levelling lancer here and there to get blood for blood but besides that I have no idea what to get.

The whole "skilled astrologians will really shine!" thing sort of pisses me off, anyone with half a brain can play any of 14's classes at maximum skill level, the game isn't hard.

The sad part is that 14's playerbase IS that retarded and only 1% of players actually read their tooltips, and thus know how to play.

>I resubbed yesterday
>Had to download the whole fucking game so I couldn't play
>BAM 24h down.

My gosh.

Do you know how useless SCH is if you don't consider the fairy?
Do you know how useless WHM is if you don't consider the Curagas?

dragon quest and the presidential smackdown later

I was doing math with my friend who mains AST and he'll be hitting 5.5k and about 9k crit single target shields and about 3k and 5k crit AoE shields in 3.4 and more with his increasing of ilvl.
While SCH is still king in terms of crit shielding, I think AST will be overall better for consistent and AoE shielding as their shields are about 1.5-2k more than them.
But SCH will have more consistent raid mitigation takes to Eos and Sacred Soil. But AST can get on apr with Raid mitigation if they draw an AoE Bole and everyone gains the regen/Mitigation effect from Collective Unconsciousness.

Overall I think you could easily replace SCH with AST, it won't overtake SCH but serve as a fine replacement if your group chooses to.

POO

>Pajeetess

lol no

The thing is: you NEED heals, and both SCH and WHM are good for that, cards are arbitrary, you do not need them to even clear stuff, AST is shit when it comes to the important part: healing so what's your point

she can shit on my dick anyday

Yeah and you don't need Healers to DPS or even Tanks to DPS to clear content. Your Point?

With that logic nobody should use anything but WHM because you don't need healers to DPS to clear content.

You don't need more DPS if you can't keep the party alive is my point

Good thing they shield better than Scholar and heal almost as well as WHM now then

You guys got any tips for leveling? I am level 35 and all I have done is the main quests.

You make it sound like Cards are hard to use. Besides AST's kit is actually pretty good, but people still shit on it even though most of the problems have been fixed.

If your party dies because the healing isn't good enough, your party dies. If your DPS is low it just takes longer. Having damage is the lowest priority except in DPS checks.

Main Quest

If you use leveling roulettes on the same job every day you'll never hit the level cap on quests. Main story quests give you good exp so just keep doing those + leveling roulettes. If you want to grind another job do fates.

Just keep doing those. You'll probably be busy for days, even weeks, just getting through them. You'll be max level long before you finish them.

Main quests do give good exp though. Otherwise hunting log, FATE grind, leves, guildhests, duty finder.

roulettes
palace of the dead
hunt log
challenge log
fates
hall of the novice ring

Is WoL a primal?

They fit all the conditions for becoming a primal like thordan and they have a mysterious ability to bring people to their side, aren't they tempering everyone?

Ilberd was right

>heal almost as well as WHM
>almost
That's the problem

>they shield better than Scholar
if you have an AST in nocturnal stance you don't want a SCH which deletes the "new meta" OP was talking about

Came back to the game over the weekend. Left when Final coil was cutting edge content. I had SCH BLM and FSH leveled, and in the case of FSH, melded, aside from Nepto requirements. I've been enjoying HW so far, BLM is at 54, SCH 53 and FSH 51. Seems like it's gonna be a bitch to get my ilevels up to 220~ for everything, especially because I want to level and make a BRD now, and am considering WAR.

If I can get some help on this, someone explain what the fuck scrips are, aside from tomes for DOL/H and while you're at it, redpill me on BRD, is it mandatory to get Blood for Blood?

Thanks for fast replies.

you have to go back

fates and levequests while waiting on the dungeon ques

AST's healing is pretty good, plus with better shields and new Benefit II trait their healing just got better. Besides its not hard to draw a card, see what it is real quick, and then slap it on someone.

You can't heal if you have no MP
You can't indefinitely maintain MP
You can't have MP if you aren't doing enough damage to finish the battle/phase before healers run out of MP
This is all irrelevant because you're a retard, the patch is making AST the best healer in the game

>You make it sound like Cards are hard to use
absolutely not my point, what I'm saying is that everybody is sucking AST's dick for the cards but the healing part of the AST job is still ass

yoshi is saying the warriors of darkness are the protagonists of 3.4 onward

But its good though? You also have a Co-healer for a reason.

It's not though, because the patch is making it better
That definitely seems to be what they're going for to me.

could be
ifrit implies that youve already been tempered when he fails

>it just takes longer
lol
the dps checks in alexander have by far been the biggest problem for every group

blessing of light basically means tempered by hydaelyn

>If I can get some help on this, someone explain what the fuck scrips are, aside from tomes for DOL/H and while you're at it

it's as simple as that. you check rowena's crafting log under timers and see what she needs for that day, make them into collectable crafts and trade them in for gear/tokens which you can save for better gear

>redpill me on BRD, is it mandatory to get Blood for Blood?

yes
doing as much dps as possible is always mandatory

>the dps checks in alexander have by far been the biggest problem for every group

Maybe you and your party should step the fuck up and stop being shitters then, the DPS checks in alex are a joke, if you can't even beat those you should just drop the game

Eikon, basically.

Got it. I guess it shouldn't take more than a few days to level LNC enough to get blood for blood by stacking xp bonuses and asking the FC to add 'The heat of battle' as the 2nd company buff.

>think I better stock up on grade 2 dissolvents for new gear
>others beat me to it
>2k dissolvents now going for 70k
>sour grapes--tell myself there will probably be a new grade of dissolvent anyway, so why bother
>patch notes

Feels good.

...

>Levelling LNC

Good riddance is there a more tedious class out there? Been doing the same to get blood for blood and holy hell can someone delete this piece of shit class please?

I don't know but if the WoL is so powerfull that he can defeat literal gods there will be a point where a Scions-like group will try to kill us for being a danger for Eorzea.

Have you subscribed yet? Or are you still in your free month?
If the latter, use this recruitment code on the mog station and you'll get a circlet that increases the amount of experience you receive up to a certain level:
VCPJ3HEH

If you do the Hall of the Novice trials you also get a ring which does the same thing. Besides that? Join a free company for the Heat of Battle buff which is another flat EXP multiplier, eat food for the 3% buff (just buy 99x of anything cheap from one of the Culinarian/Potwatch NPCs in the major towns). Make sure you're keeping up to date with your hunt log too (hit H if you're on PC to bring it up) and do the same for Guildhests because they give a decent amount of Gil and EXP for your first-time clear on a given class.

One thing you should definitely do though is your daily Leveling Roulette. With the daily bonus it gives an absolute shit-ton of EXP, and you should vastly outpace the main story if you keep up. Aside from that? Palace of the Dead is good, since it gives you the opporunity to learn more about how to play your job at high levels (plus it gives you tier 5 materia which you'll need once you hit the level cap).
There's also FATEs, but these should be a last-resort once you've cleared the FATE entry in the challenge log.

On the challenge log note, make sure you do any quest marked with a Blue icon. Some extremely important faculties are tied to relatively obscure quests.

>A full 24 hours for a patch during [Current Year]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

>faggotary post
>gets surprised due to ban

>being this delusional
just admit it that you don't even know what you're talking about, literally not a single person who raids savage has been stuck on DPS checks, and I pray to fucking god you're not talking about hummelfaust because I might die of laughter

I have to do turning coil of bahumut to get the full story though.

He's probably talking about Gordian, but yeah Midas was laid back on the DPS check

Probably not. I remember back in earlier patches DRG being notorious for not only being completely fucking braindead, but also played like shit. It's why I refuse to touch the thing, but since it's cross class skill is needed for Melee dps, I guess I'll fucking have to do it now.

>Fighting over a queue spot on patch day for 18 hours and tearing your hair out trying to get into [LATEST CONTENT] is better than the patch taking 24 hours to apply so everyone has a smoother time getting back into the game.

generals exist for a reason

the xiv spam got really bad, you can bet mods will cleanse again if you fucks spam the board with it really hard like the old days.

unrelated, does every melee still require constantly playing "shove the dick into the butt and thigh" because it was just fucking tedious.

>only play magic classes
>never have to touch Lancer

>generals exist for a reason

to contain the dregs of society

Needing a lower accuracy stat and doing more damage from the rear and flank is tedious?

Do you want to just run up to the meanie and smack 1 2 3 1 2 3 all day until you get your shiny lewts?

Did they include anything to make people return to Bahamut Coil? I started playing this at 2.4 and I could never go further than that dragon boss with tornadoes.

Gas the lalas race war meow.
What nonsense are they going to come up for the creator? I expect the story to be even more retarded than midas, alex was a mistake.

If you've been gone for so long you probably don't know about the newbie area? It's basically a step-by-step tutorial for every class, when you complete it you get a ring that give you a 50% exp boost for every fighting class below lvl 30 among some other gear.

Alright, so it's been a while since I played FFXIV. I think I stopped around when AST got buffed or something the last time and cards got changed around on what they did. Did AST really have a problem? I remember when Heavensward was launched AST was hard as fuck to heal as but after the buff I didn't have trouble.

>...taking 24 hours to apply so everyone has a smoother time getting back into the game.

you don't actually believe this do you

Try leveling a SMN.

You have 2 dots and ruin ruin ruin ruin ruin ruin ruin ruin ruin ruin ruin....

You get a different more simpler story if you haven't completed the coil.

>That one time ffxiv got banned temporarily because of HW's release
One more time please?

In general or in this patch?

in 3.4
It's recommended to do all the coil turns before starting on 3.4 to get the full story.

still better than lancer
you get a period of like 12 levels or something where the best damage output is to do nothing but 1 skill
just this patch, alisae will react differently depending on if you beat coil or not
you can just slap a party finder up and say bonus available and people will come running since its like a free 1.4k poetics

Yes, tedious. That is what I said, and you just said why. Standing at the ass to avoid frontal anything is pretty common as melee in all these sorts of games, but having to play little footsies between ass and flank was just boring and tedious.

the "123 123" until loot doesnt change either way you mongoloid.

if you clear the final coil of bahamut, there's some special dialogue with alisae in 3.4

people should be doing it though, i think coil will be included in the wonderous trials thing, and it really isn't that difficult with a full party except turn 9 which can be a wipefest still if mechanics aren't handled properly

Yup. However, I had a better time leveling Lancer than fucking Gladiator. I will never do that shit ever again.

SMN is way more fun

Lancer and Thaumaturge are the worst by far. Once you get Bane on Arcanist you're set.

Every single 50+ skill for SMN is fucking incredible and it transforms into the most fun dps at 60.

So you don't use your off-GCDs and buffs?

Or are you just being a whiny little shit because of a retarded tank not sitting still?

Honestly, if you want the game to be dumbed down further then please, would you kindly fuck off back to WoW? I heard they got a new xpac just recently that caters specifically to you.

Any good experienced WAR in here?
I have a feeling I hit a wall and just can't improve anymore. I pretty much have my WAR under control and know full well what I'm doing. I still can't get over 1k dps in A5s and A6s no matter what I do. I also have a slight phobia of using Berserker whenever possible because I'm scared of being pacified when I need to tank swap.

What should I do?

Why don't you rather go into one of the Overshill or Legion threads and complain there if you want to do something about "Spam" in Cred Forums?

They gate everything they don't want speed run now as it is, and it's not like nerfing holy or flare is really stopping anyone.

>1 skill
Don't forget to heavy thrust.

Or just do it unsynced at 60 and blaze through it.

if you get caught in pacification you can use provoke and flash spam, the other tank should stop attacking for a moment anyways to ensure the swap is smooth

Is this shit for real? AST having to heal a little more than WHM doesn't matter because they make up for lost cleric stance time with their DPS output. AST being worse at healing is completely irrelevant.

Crossclass Flash because you can use it while pacified.

If you're not skipping boosts you need the rest of your group to improve before you'll get any big DPS boost.

Berserk+Vengeance+Deliverance+Overpower for pigs. Make the PLD/DRK take the ogre thing.

Are we going to save Ala Mihgo? Ive had it with snow elves and grey stones.

>Those healing buffs
>Those shield buffs
>Those CD QoL changes
>That Balance buff specifically
>Basically an extra Raging Strikes

Meanwhile people on my server were bitching in their linkshell about how "They didn't buff AST how we intended them to, AST still sucks"

>mfw stuck on turn 9
Hopefully I can find a party after the patch and do it before I do my story quests.

I hope not. Ala Mhigo is full of disgusting highlanders.

The great gatherer/crafter battle begins tomorrow. THERE WILL BE NO BREAKS ON THE CRAFT TRAIN.

youtube.com/watch?v=8JPfQb549Eo

Trailer to get in the mood.

Ok...all the turns or just the final coil?

>you can just slap a party finder up and say bonus available and people will come running since its like a free 1.4k poetics

Really? Isn't the "bonus" a red alarm sign yelling "NOOB SPOTTED, NOOB SPOTTED!"?

so because I didnt mention off gcd or buffs, that automatically means I dont use them? sorry, do you want me to spell out exactly my entire opener, rotation and situationals?

jesus fuck dude you could try to find something actually more legit to try and attack. is it completely unfathomable to you that someone can play the game, like aspects of it, be good and dislike one part?

Yes and don't expect a single thank from these ingrate beggars.

>Fighting over a queue spot on patch day for 18 hours and tearing your hair out trying to get into [LATEST CONTENT] is better than the patch taking 24 hours to apply so everyone has a smoother time getting back into the game.

Are you retarded?

Summoner is such a fucking waste in this game.

Nigga every coil except maybe t9 is so easy unsynced you can clear it going with a full blind party.

3.45 with Palace of the Dead please look forward to it.

if you want you can just do turn 5, turn 9, turn 13

i really don't recommend skipping around though if you're into the story, turns 6-13 have a shitload of story

DELET

Where's my mana song? bard?!

I never said this thread was spam. Just that generals exist for a reason, and that action was taken against xiv in the past for having way too many threads up at once.

You should try being a little less defensive, might make less people be like

>Only ever log on to raid
>Servers go down
>Suddenly want to play

Make a Berserk Macro
No need to add a countdown just say when you activate it and if your healers aren't ass they'll dispell the pacification.
It's even better if you have a BRD because he can just put Paean on you directly.

I play healer and I don't want any buffs. This is a race to the top where everything gets overpowered. I like AST cause I had to think about my healing styles. I don't want to be a healbot like WHM or OP like SCH.

They added Shiva's music yesssssssss

I wonder what it must feel like for her. She KNOWS half the Gridanian male population are masturbating to her.

all you need to know are the mechanics of 5, 9 and 11, everything else can be facerolled in unsync

Sophia's Music gets me hype everytime

The fight just looks amazing. Since her whole gimmick is "balance" I wonder what we'll have to do to keep the stage balanced as we saw the scales move the Stage around.

that's nophica, she doesn't exist

I think my FC is actually full of spastics.

I was under the impression that everyone was chill.

*tips Spotted Fedora*

>Expecting bards to play any song at all.


Lmaoing

You can make everything with faith and a lot of ether.

I remember killing Twintania and stopped there. I guess I can keep with the quest if I find the correct NPC to talk with.


Fucking college, I had to stop raiding because mister "want to know everywhint" had to be a fucking chemist. Now I'm a fucking chemist but with no fucking coil.

Locus and the brute justice theme too, my house is going to be playing them forever.

How? And where is this?

I don't think the average player that rolls their face on the keyboard will be able to handle the fact that the story will flatout state they're suddenly ruining things as DA CHOZO ONE, despite that being a point in prior FF titles due to balancing light and darkness

Don't worry, user! You too can watch Mr. Happy somehow make money just being a retard smashing the button to log into the server for hours on end with his community he's built up, since housing is up for grabs once more.

As much as I love the occasional Cred Forums thread for the game, we really are approaching 24/7 general status as of late with these threads. I know /vg/ sucks, and people claim nothing can be done, but the other natives are getting restless due to people posting about having fun in vidya on Cred Forums

What did Ilberd ever talk about Primals?

>mention the line in notes about two of the same job can't enter savage
>the full party exception only mentions ilvl
>"they should fix that line in the notes if it doesn't apply"
>"THATS ONLY MATCHED PARTIES"

I kinda hope it isn't a oversight in the notes to remind people not to assume. Same shit happen in 3.3 with the ilvl restriction.

the next step is urianger in the waking sands

Who is the second (female) voice there narrating?

>fish stocked up ready to crash the market

i250 weapons require desynthesis, new gathered mats, and fucking diadem mats and they're still below i255 sophia weapons

>tfw going to try my hardest to get into a meme server after maintenance

Wish me luck

Only worth it for the look, luckily only the caster set look good.

+1 weapon damage for Disciples of Magic
Crafted weapons with melds will probably be superior for a couple of DoW classes.

inb4 parry and skill speed on sophia weapons

make your character before the servers go live on the benchmark or something

>I know /vg/ sucks, and people claim nothing can be done, but the other natives are getting restless
No one is, you chicken little false flagger. Considering the garbage on this board people should be glad xiv threads come by at all since at least actual gameplay is being discussed.

Balmung?

The Sophia weapons also look fucking great.

Pentamelded crafted weapons could easily beat Sophia weapons depending on secondary stats, especially with shit like parry on tank weapons or det/spellspeed for healers.

did that a while back just trying to settle on a name I can do that while the servers are offline

Maybe or either gilga


I just want a non dead server where I can level and play and just see other people and chat and all that.

They have pictures of them?

Where are you getting this from?
I ask because I'm iLv 229; I have 2 Mhaci Farthings and Pennies which will get me to i232 after Lore is uncapped, and I was kind of banking on the i250 crafted gear being cheap (like the i220 Eikon gear) to shore up my iLv to the minimum for challenging Sophia.

Watch the Sophia part of the trailer.

>crafted raid gear being cheap at the start of a patch
In which fucking universe?

>tfw I have no catfu that I can marry.

I hope one day, we get better cinematics ala 1.0.

youtube.com/watch?v=4evYBUCmPTw&feature=youtu.be&t=577

Dragonfus are superior anyway.

>Players can now display an additional cross hotbar by double-tapping the left or right triggers on a gamepad.

Neat. Combined with the R2->L2 and in reverse actions we get 40 commands without a hassle now.

it's in the patch notes, they require 5 demicrystals which are in the demimateria item category which come from desynthesis, saurian leather which is a diadems item, and some other shit that i'm assuming is the new gathered high end item because what the fuck else would it be?

>taking a ss of your screen
Ayy lmeow.

Where is pic-related armour?

Sent it to a friend by text. Here's a SS

Au ras look terrible. I don't know how any one likes their fetal alcohol syndrome and permanently stoned/bored expression when they aren't doing their overly cutesy emotes. They look like aliens with their 1 cm chins and cheekbones right next to their eyes.

for healers you have a point, but unless it's parry/skillspeed with more weight on parry, it'll be a break-even at worst for tanks

They added that to the game for the summer event

The last event armor looked like it. I don't know if that's just me wanting it to be though.

>forgot to log out near the apartment area

I disagree, I think their faces look fine and pretty. Some of the Miq'ote faces look pretty FAS tho.

As a diehard WHM main, I'm happy for you ASTs.

there's like 6000 fucking rooms who cares

Don't blame yourself, blame Yoshi-T for not making it so everyone can have one. You know? like Final Fantasy XI.

>Decent

One thing is being decent and another thing is what ASTs are going to be lol, the buffed bole and balance are just insane.

255 won't have an extra wd over 250 for DoW classes. The pentameld could be far superior

i220 stuff was fairly inexpensive.
Besides I'm on a JP server and have ~12 million at my disposal; that's probably sufficient for at least a full accessory set, and I'll spend every single Gil of that sum to avoid what happened last time with Nidhogg (spent 4 days trying to gear up to i220 because I was undergeared and poor at that point- which was apparently just long enough that all the competent players got their NidEX clears).

Shit.
Is it possible to reach i235 in a single day without crafted gear, or am I fucked for another 6 months again?

I like Au'Ra's. They're top tier waifus.

But nothing beats catsluts

>they will never be your daughterus
It hurts, Cred Forums...

me too

then i remembered i already have a private FC room and i'm saving up for an FC mansion anyways

I don't understand why your room at the inn doesn't function like FFXI's mog houses did.

Just get a static nerd.

Why are Miqittens so perfect while full grown cats are so awful?

don't they tend to make sure if they have a weapon with an extra 5 ilvls that it always has an extra WD now? bards and mchs not included

Show me one neutral au ra face that looks good.

What about a dungeon that was non-linear?

Something a bit more open with several end goals strewn throughout it?

>~12 million
How is it like to be so poor?

i245 weapons (midas savage) have 1 extra wd over anima weapons and upgraded lore weapons, but i235 (nidhogg and PotD) weapons have the same wd as regular lore weapons (i230), so I guess it'll follow the same formula this time.

MSQ + Daily Dungeon.

Then everyone would just take the easy route to finish it for dailies.

Im so glad they didn't make loliqotes playable. We don't need dirty pedophile Cred Forumsirgins shitting up our game.

no. 230 lore drg spear and 235 horde spear were same 79wd. horde spear had better stats

Yea you're probably right

Sick avian doesn't know what the fuck he's talking about though.

They're still on par with that, the problem is they only really animate characters in sidequest stuff (Hildibrand, Mahou Shoujo School).

Take this time now to catch up with the story and when servers go live go as hard as possible you can clear the content in a few days at the cost of going through the story at a comfy pace.

SCH doesn't have the raw healing to be above anyone on enmity.

And now matter again.

It looks the same. I still don't know why they don't make A = 1

>sch

That's what the pet is for.

I am on the verge of quitting the game now that this patch makes SCH irrelevant.

It sucks having to switch my main to AST because of how fucking incompetent yohsida is. I fucking hate how flashy and girly AST is, I am also not a fan of "muh faith" WHM. Yoshida is literally telling me how to play the game by taking a class that is supposed to be a jack of all trades and making it OP on both healing styles, its really fucking jarring.

I hope my WHM Can tolerate bo fairy because spammable deployment tactics on AST is way to OP to pass up.

A means aggro

1 means highest in your party that doesn't have aggro, for 24 man content

They changed the colors to match the enmity list.

Reading tooltips doesn't teach anybody how to make decisions on the fly from group to group and on a per fight basis. If every fight were literally the same thing then tooltips alone would suffice.

That opens a whole new universe for my DRG and SMN

That's like 60 million on a server without gil-seller inflation.

True, but that would require grinding Void Ark and Weeping City. By the time I'm done with that competent players will have stopped learning Sophia and I'll be left out in the cold, again.

>SMN on controller
Do you have brain damage? I hope I never meet you in Savage content.

This is exactly why I have stoneskin on my PLD. Yes, its the sucky version, but fuck it I'm not waiting around on lazy healers.

>What's you guys opinion on the AST buff?

Pretty fucking amazing.

>Will the meta turns out to be AST/SCH from now on?

Yeah. I've played all three healers through all wings of Alex Savage, and the meta will be AST/SCH now. Like BRD before the patch, people probably won't turn down a WHM/SCH group for shittier groups if it means they actually get a healer for their static, but AST/SCH will be king. WHM just no longer brings enough to the table, and I doubt there will be any fight that requires Cure 3, because that defeats the purpose.

Was a WHM main until the end of Midas, now a SCH main. They are all pretty fun in their own right.

Why do people still play this shit game?

Why do you want Stoneskin at all?

How the fuck do I get rid of my house and make money back aside from not logging in for however many days until it gets auto-demolished (which they're turning on this patch)?

People keep saying selling your house through PF is reportable.

Quite frankly, you'll only ever meet like 30 people in your lifetime in Savage content.

only if you ask for an exorbitant amount it is reportable

They'll be done in a day? Yea I guess so then if you're gonna be a whiny bitch about it.

>How the fuck do I get rid of my house and make money back aside from not logging in for however many days until it gets auto-demolished (which they're turning on this patch)?

>People keep saying selling your house through PF is reportable.

Yep. Whole system is broken as fuck. Only way around it is to check PF for being buying a house, not selling. Other then that, sit on your thumbs, don't enter your house, wait. It's dumb, it's terrible, I hope it gets revamped in 3.5.

Selling your house in PF is fine as long as you aren't flipping houses for unreasonable profit. (Example: buy a small plot for 5 million then resell it for 12 million because no more houses left)

Stoneskin is pretty much pointless outside of extremely niche situations that shouldn't occur outside of progression content.

Because it's fun unlike most MMOs on the market.

It's reportable? Well, shit. I'm in a FC by myself after the leader and most of the others bounced to another server, and I have no real use for their house so I was hoping to sell it, as it's on a high pop server.
What's an exorbitant amount? Example, for a small house/plot. Could I try and off-load this FC onto someone who wants it for the house/plot for the same sort of price a plot would go for?

>those new crafting recipes

Well none of my prep work I did matters now, fuck.

Don't advertise your house on pf. Respond to people looking to buy one on pf.

They won't report you. The people who report are shitters who probably have no intention of buying a house but know they can word their report to make it seem like rmt

>bothering with stoneskin in a dungeon
I'd pull for you while you were casting.

They're planning on a system that will allow you to trade and actually sell plot + house. However that has been mentioned like four full patches ago.

And where does it say what is acceptable?

i don't understand why that's bannable

how is this not exactly how some people play the market

If they buy the house why are they not allowed to demand whatever price they feel like

>it's not fair
that's dumb

>want to try playing on a new server
>whm is my second favorite healer and wanted to give it a honest try

Fuck

What do you find fun about it? Its gameplay is lackluster compared to literally any other mmo on the market, its content has no replayability value and the architecture of the RPG elements in it are bland and boring, the only thing you can literally do to standout is change how you look, everything else is the same, from gear to 'spec' to rotation to everything.

You can tank for me too while you're at it.

if you want to be safe just sell it for exactly what you bought it for, you can probably get away with a little profit but don't sell it for like 200%

Please don't cast it on yourself in dungeons. Bad healers don't care. Good healers who dps already sustain you with regens and other basic shit, a 2-3k shield isn't going to make their job any easier.

I like the gameplay and raiding

Half of my prep work came in which is more then I expected. But it will be a gatherers paradise.

Because anything that is perceived as a form of bullying is bannable. You're banned for offending people.

outside of progression content class is irrelevant, every class can clear everything without hassles.

Because there are people out there that exploit the housing system by buying all the plots in the ward so they can sell it for large amounts of profit or RMT it for real life cash (which is against the rules). There are people on a Balmung that will pay $50 or more for a small plot.

Because of the rather small amount of houses available. Yeah, it's kind of stupid, butthen again there have been cases of scamming considering houses and other "activities".

Honestly sometimes I wish extreme undercutting was bannable.

Because the FFXIV community is terrible. Simultaneously made up of thousands of shitters coated with hundreds of vocal elitists.

If you put up a PF for 'selling house' some rich fuck with 800 hours in will report you out of spite. A shitter that doesn't have money to even think about buying a plot will also report you out of spite. There is literally no reason for selling houses for in-game currency to be a violation of ToS but FFXIV will suck as many cocks as necessary to keep their fanbase appeased.

Soon enough I would like to get to the tough stuff. Already behind it would seem like a poor choice to pick a class that is surpassed by others.

>Raid tells me only 3 days ago I will be MNK instead of AST for the new patch
>Haven't touched MNK since 3.1 came out
>Only managed to get it up to 228
>Won't be able to do day 1 sophia EX

i bet theyll yell at me for that too

It's really unfortunate that classes get trashcanned in higher content because of power creep. I would say SCH is probably my favorite healer, but I swapped mains for A8S and SCH is pretty heavily relied upon to not be a shitter, so it's a good feeling.

WHM has some good shit, its just AST has always been able to keep up, and now with their card buffs there is no reason not to take them. Free AoE Trick Attack that can be extended in duration, that shit is crazy.

Only reason I stayed away from AST is because RNG memes while healing is obnoxious, but with the Redraw CD nerf I imagine I'll care less and less.

Play what you want. You know like 90% of healers are incapable of playing AST well anyways.

Keep the house you fucking moron.
A level 8 free company with access to Airships ventures is a license to print money.

I wont deny I'm being whiny, but I missed out on farming Nidhogg because I reached the minimum iLv on a Friday, after 3.3 went live on Tuesday. 3 days was all it took, and the iLv for Sophia is much lower relatively which could expedite the clear process for others.

>i bet theyll yell at me for that too
>Raid tells me only 3 days ago

That's where you tell them to go fuck themselves and go pug someone for Sophia, holy shit.

RMT is against the rules and people do it all the time when it comes to buying/selling houses.

>gameplay is lackluster compared to literally any other mmo on the market

outside of 'not really mmo's like vindictus and dragon nest FFXIV easily has the best fights/combat in general, never played WoW so can't compare it to that though.

Far better than BnS, Tera, etc.

item level reqs can be ignored with a full premade in 3.4, supposedly

No problem friend, I'd probably end up doing that anyway even if you weren't acting like a bitch.

Well, they originally told me to go AST so I spent most of pre-patch time gearing AST up to 238 (including finishing the relic). Come 3 days ago, our SCH decides he wants to switch to AST and I get shafted onto playing MNK.

I don't really mind, MNK is my favorite job, but I didn't have a lot of time to fix my gear being bad!

I think I recall reading that too, now I think of it.

>bitch

>>Raid tells me only 3 days ago I will be MNK instead of AST for the new patch
>someone telling you what job to play
What is this cancer?

if you're starting over you won't be in a position to do progression content until 3.45 or 3.5.

By then you easily have enough time to level and gear all 3 healers appropriately if you wish.

it doesn't matter.

Should I bother with relic weapon? I already got Artemis Bow but looking at the relic upgrade progression it looks like a huge pain in the ass.

>Q. Are you adding something different for men?

>A. No. If we try to maintain that equity as a policy, we'll have to make most equipment unisex, and on top of that it'll require more development time and we'll have to cut the amount of total gear we can implement. At the moment we are working to get rid of the gender lock for bunny suits for men.

>Q. So men and women are going to be able to equip it?

>A.Yes. The NA community had an especially high demand so we thought we should do it. Our female staff is putting hard work into creating it.

Fuck the gay ass NA community that keep whining about every llittle bit of shit.

I mean if you're okay with that that's fine, but if they start crying you aren't geared enough in the first day (Spamming WC to gear yourself sounds absolutely miserable until people get more gear btw, hope you have gil.) you tell them to go fuck themselves. I swapped jobs for A8S but the group helped with melds and shit, so it wasn't a big deal.

On this note I didn't think I'd ever see a userbase worse than WoW's

It's weird how XIV has become so cancerous. What even caused it?

>I would say SCH is probably my favorite healer, but I swapped mains for A8S and SCH is pretty heavily relied upon to not be a shitter, so it's a good feeling.

Same even though mine was not max it was fun but a little exhausting to play especially with shit tanks. I had a tank at around 70-80% hp yelling CLERIC HEALER YOU ARE IN CLERIC when I was dpsing.

Might as well ask here:

I have a sudden urge to get into a turn based RPG. Should I play Final Fantasy Tactcis (the PSP version) or Tactics Ogre, which I also have heard good things about.

WoW you slam 5 buttons, mash your proc buttons.

/vg/ is filled with people who don't discuss the game and spend their time talking about how their characters look and speaking like children as seen here

Wait.. the sch is going ast so what is the whm doing?

Was the sch suppose to go monk

You're right. But as a healer I can maybe poopsock it and skip shit and maybe get close enough?

>Basically, it takes 6 months of development time to create one piece of equipment for all races, including the time to design it.
What

the game is pretty popular with tumblrites since it's easy to make male characters that look like faggots

shit, even brianna wu plays it

Try The Last Remnant if you like completely bullshit games with hidden shit everywhere and bosses that'll make you want to rip your guts out through your asshole.

kek

That's just the type of people that are drawn to FFXIV.
You're playing a game with a bunch of furry faggots

>finally got The Warrens yesterday
My playlist is ready.

Glad I'm playing on European servers.

WoW combat is like this:

Mash your 3 buttons while 10 things happen at the same time. The way to success is simply following DBM (an addon) orders. It will tell you where to move, when to move, what skill to use. At the same time it will put you timing bars of the next 5-10 boss incoming attacks so you know what's going to happen in every second. In other words, it's like playing with a Sharingan.

>Same even though mine was not max it was fun but a little exhausting to play especially with shit tanks. I had a tank at around 70-80% hp yelling CLERIC HEALER YOU ARE IN CLERIC when I was dpsing.

Fucking healer should heal meme gives me cancer in this game. Nigga I got Eos Embrace macros for when I'm using Broil, calm the fuck down.

Something I'd recommend is finding a main healer that communicates with you for harder content, that shit is wonderful.

>Got my DoTs up, swapping out of cleric, you get your DoTs up and I'll physick, then I'll go back and refresh Shadow Flare

Pure heaven.

I have a theory that WoWs is probably as bad but since you don't -have- to speak with a single soul 1-110 that you just don't see it as much. I don't know.

>A.Yes. The NA community had an especially high demand so we thought we should do it. Our female staff is putting hard work into creating it.

NA community has a high demand to dress their male characters as trannys. Just shoot me now fampai.

At level 50? Absolutely not, start working on leveling to 60.

I'm expecting to be handed a bunch of free crafted gear on patch day anyway. I think I'm just overreacting and working myself up over nothing!

It's a little complicated. I was MCH, swapping to MNK. We've brought on another MCH to fill that gap. Our NIN is dropping NIN for SCH, our SCH is switching to AST.

This sounds like completely nonsensical shuffling... but our SCH is much better at main-healing and our NIN used to main SCH, so, whatever.

>I can maybe poopsock it and skip shit and maybe get close enough?

no, you literally do not have enough time.

By the time you hit the required ilvl for 3.4 the content will be known and explored enough to be able to take any class.

I hope you didn't get a new jumbo ticket before patchday.

Of course it was a cat boy looking as fagtastic as possible, attention whoring in the middle of the city and getting assblasted when receiving attention.

a new player can easily go from 1-60 without talking to anyone in XIV as well.

Its even worse. You make it sound like its tolerable. Its so fucking bad that these threads seem to ride out instead of getting moved. It takes a mod/janny with an OUNCE of empathy to see why this game is impossible to talk about outside of these "shilling" threads.

You try to talk about the game and you would maybe one pity reply and then you see comments like ">tfw me and my partner don't care who we erp with :3" and "I need a x slut right meow" also " [Race] futa cocks in my mouth!".

IMPOSSIBLE to navigate or say anything.


The price of starting over I guess. Fuck me for starting on a dead server.

So ditch Artemis Bow and make anima weapons instead?

>12 models they have to create for each piece of armor
That's just plain wrong. The reason every race is just a human with some extra accessories is so that they can use the same equipment models on each of them. All they do is adjust for size. This is also the reason we have no asses anymore.

The point was you HAVE to do instanced content for MSQ. I could be full of shit because it's been awhile since I played WoW but I think you just solo level the whole way.

>mfw in the same static since 3.0

How is LFG life treating you losers.

>no asses anymore
Not even an ass person and I find this stupid. I don't need giant asses, but they are literally flat.

No, ditch relic completely and never consider doing one.

This is false. They have to create a unique model for each race.
If you ever met YoshiPs character Ingame and try to equip his chest piece it will only appear on male hyurs. You get an invisible chest for any other race/gender. This is because they have to model each armor seperately to avoid major clipping issues and other weird shit.

>have to play bns to get my daily dose of butts

At least that's free

There's two relic questlines, the level 50 line (which will have you go from Artemis Bow to Yoichi Bow Zeta) and the level 60 line (which will have you go from Berimbau to Gandiva to Bow of the Autarch)

If you aren't level 60 yet, don't bother with the level 50 questline. At this point the Zeta weapons are just good for glamour purposes, it's a neat way to kill time but you have bigger fish to fry right now.

That said, relic weapon isn't a huge deal. If it's anything like before the expansion, the Heavensward relic weapons won't be BiS until patch 2.45 or 2.5... give or take. Right now they can get up to 240, but current BiS weapons are 245... and that will be even higher starting tomorrow. It's a good questline to keep up with if you don't mind the god-awful grinding, since relic weapons usually look fuckin' sweet at any rate.

>24 hour maintenance
how the fuck is this still acceptable you fucking dirty elevens

They're the same models, just slightly adjusted for size and things like stretching the chest for female models to give them tits. They straight out said back around 2.0 release that this is the reason we have no asses anymore. So they can save development time by only using one model on every single race.

>furry faggots
That's WoW. XIV just has normal faggots.

They're not the same models as far as the game recognizes it. If you have FFXIVExplorer you can check the model viewer yourself and see that each race has specific sets for their size. They may look the same but they are modeled differently and they have different filenames.

To be fair, they used to have 3-hour maintenance on almost weekly basis up until Heavensward.
A 24-hour maint once every 3 to 4 months is really not that bad.

>no new crafting books mentioned in the patch notes

All those blue scrips saved up for nothing

I hope you're not shilling for WoW because wow worgens have a line that directly references furries, not to mention the suggestiveness like that guy who fucked two taurens or panda race in general. Tauren too.

>Main SCH
>Static passive-aggressively asks me if I'm gonna change to accommodate what other people wanna change to
>"No"
>They figure it out amongst themselves and I ignore whatever they came up with since I don't care

I just won't play anything aside from WAR or SCH since everything else is just worse.

all they needed to do for Diadem to be fun is make it keep giving you objectives and spitting out progressively better rewards for completing them. Three objectives done and go farm dino-island for an hour sucks dick, give us something to actually do.

So it just for glamours? Alright then.

Is Heavensward ever goes on sale?

Well yeah, they're seen as different models as far as the game recognizes because they've been adjusted. But for the dev process, it's still only one model that's adjusted for things like tits and body size. You ever notice how gear modeled during 1.0 has tail holes for miqo'te, and everything after is missing even a minor detail like that?

Who's enjoying the game as a Semi-NEET here?

What does SCH dps rotation look like

Apply dots, spam broil, refresh dots as they're about to fall off.

They have to create different models for each race but they still share the same basic design. Notice how when you equip certain armor on females their breast sizes magically change to be bigger or smaller, because that's how the armor was modeled. It's different for every race.

They don't have those 1.0 tail holes anymore since that's more work involved and something something PS3 limitations trying to display in crowds.

>glamour prism changes
I don't know if that is good (A LOT more free space and not constantly checking which prism tier I need) or bad (market value).

>Not going sch+Ast

Shit, I only have 350k.

How do you feel about people using slutty glamours? Is it acceptable and do you often commend them if you like what you see?

I think it's more than fine using slutty glamour, that is if you're a Miqo'te or Au'ra.

Isn't that what it says in the patch notes?

I just hope I can log in in time to actually fucking get one. Won't be able to get on the game until 8:00 AM tuesday morning.


No, AST killed WHM not SCH. You would be fucking insane to try and raid without SCH (or WAR, for that matter)

>They don't have those 1.0 tail holes anymore since that's more work involved and something something PS3 limitations trying to display in crowds.
Man if I could have one thing back from 1.0 it would be tail holes.
Japs may not care about model clipping, but this game clips harder than radical larry and the tails especially do my fucking head in.

Maybe if they add another race with tails like Viera they'll re-implement tail slits since then 3 out of 7 will take advantage of them.

It's good since they are prepping for that glamour log implementation in 4.0

Lalafells look like normal human children, however starting age 5 they stop growing up.

>I think it's more than fine using slutty glamour, that is if you're a Miqo'te

Miqosluts are the best

aero idiot

bio2 - miasma - swiftcast shadowflare - energy drain - bio - energy drain - aero - energy drain - broil spam. You can weave rouse after your first energy drain if you don't need to save it for whatever reason.

This is also your dot priority list. If you can precast a shadowflare before the pull, do so, but only if you can drop it where the thing is going to wind up, and not directly on it, since otherwise you'd be better off opening with bio 2. The time to start casting shadowflare pre-pull is about 6 seconds before the pull, then immediately go into your dot rotation, which should land your bio 2 right after the tank picks it up. Adjust accordingly to your group's specific pull patterns.

Make sure you're auto attacking if you can be bothered, and change up your shadowflare timing in the rotation if the thing isn't going to sit still for the full duration, since if it doesn't then bio gets a higher potency and thus a higher priority, same with aero if the timing fits.

I play a c@ and have only one slutty glamour. I have brought shame over the c@people.

It's also fine on lalafells. It keeps the SJWs away.

MFW sch is dead.
Completely dead and burried forever.
Its our time to shine fellow AST!!

There's literally no point in bringing a WHM to groups now that AST is king.

>implying whites have culture
Ugh... can we not?

Scandinavians didn't invent scale armor as far as I know

Which of these miqo'tes would you give your commendation to?

I'm SMN, can you talk me about this "dot potency"? I usually recast dots when they have 5 seconds left.

>like crafting and gathering.

The one in the middle.

Talking about the time it takes for a DoT to tick enough damage in before a target is dead/phase-jumps/etc vs. using your highest potency burst skill instead, which for SCH is Broil (170 potency).

It takes a Bio1 15 seconds to beat 170 potency.

Recast dots so they land when the timer is less than 3 seconds, as close to 0 as you can manage. Anything more is wasting potency aka damage, and causing you to do less dps.

Now that past and future extreme Primals will be added to Raid Finder, do you think people will use it more?

>literally called viking/berserker
I'M BEING OPPRESSED

>no cure3
Good. I hate when healers waste MP on shit.

Dots have a potency, and they tick for that amount of damage once every 3 seconds. So Bio I is (I think) 40 potency and lasts18 seconds, so it will tick for 40 potency 6 times for a total of 240 potency. Every tick you skip by reapplying dots too early means you have lost damage. Generally you want them to hit as they fall off, but realistically recast them at 3s or less.

Heavy Thrust + Dot combo + fire dot + damage combo x2 + Repeat

Viking and Berserker appeared as FF jobs in other titles.

No, people on NA/EU don't give a fuck about the other 7 people in the group and first thing they'll do is queue up for last phase/completion hoping to get carried and fuck up everything in the first phases ending in a vote abandon.

Nigga just for the balance alone AST totally wrecks WHM this tier.

it's actually really fucking good

So when I use the Dreadwyrm Trance Should I focus on redotting or spamming Ruin 3?

If you specify completion you can only queue if you cleared, it pairs you with others who meet the same criteria.

If you choose progression then you get paired with anybody who chose that including people that haven't cleared.

Both.

Typical of these fucks.

You should always have a Tri-disaster for DWT. Putting down a SF isn't even worth it after the Ruin III changes.
Just spam that shit.

THE FUCK AM I SUPPOSED TO DO?

Quick, Cred Forums what classic Final Fantasy boss would you like to see in FFXIV? I'm still holding out for this nigga.

I know he's coming.

Male Au Ra's running animation is dogshit too. They move way too slow for the animation.

Ruin 3 is a lot of damage and you should be using it a lot, mp permitting, not just in trance. Hardcasting your dots in trance is awful, use tri-disaster during it.

Heads up:
They're adding the Chinese regional gear to the mogstation come 3.4.

...

Garuda's contagion should also work? Or the dots won't get the DWT buff?

I'm sorry, I'm pretty new to this game and I feel like a retard.

Play other games.

Golbez, ExDeath

They're not adding the Sun Wukong gear and Cloud mount though.
I'm butthurt.

Right to left.

Go posts in /vg/? No one cares about your character.

so what are all you denialfags gonna do once creator raid damage is balanced around AST shields?

Because you know those idiots are very capable of doing that.

Doomtrain

This is the correct answer. Once you compromise once on the whims of others, they'll expect you to do it again.

It would be fun for a change to have a classic FF character as boss. Like Squall. Beating Squall till death would be delicious.

Whats the ilvl on crafted weapons?

Yes please, I want to fight the evil tree wizard and whilst listening to weird heavy metal songs about sick dark trees.

get a new static and friends

>you will never go back

DWT + Tri-disaster + Contagion should all be used together. You can also end DWT with a Miasma II + Fester + Dreadflare and then contagion that. Miasma II is worth 120 potency with contagion, the same as old Ruin III.

Though take my advice with a grain of salt. I absolutely despise SMN.

...

Full crafted sets excluding the weapon, at least for ninja but probably every role too, takes 70 lore mats. If it's the same price as eso mats then that's 1400 lore for all nq, and 3500 for all hq. Hope you're geared idiots.

250. It's not like they're unusable, since you can still overmeld it. But unless the Sophia weapons have an extra weapon damage over the crafted then good secondaries on crafted would easily overtake bad secondaries or even so-so secondaries on the Sophia weapons.

Your dots are snapshot. What that means is, whatever buffs you have up when you cast them is applied for their whole duration. Conversely, using a buff while a dot is ticking does not passively buff its damage. So you want to use tri-disaster in DWT (raging, pot, and another fester if you can) to increase their damage as much as possible and then spam contagion while casting ruin 3.

Didn't know they released FFXIV on Gameboy Advance.

Thank god.

That'd be great but Yoshida said something about characters who's stories are complete or dead wont ever be seen in FFXIV.

"Also, in regards to future collaborations with other FF series, we will be adhering to the below principles:

· We will never introduce characters that would destroy their meaning or story
· We will not use characters that are already dead or whose role has ended in their title

For example, “Red XIII” who appeared in FFVII.

I believe we mentioned “Red XIV” as a joke before, but Red XIII has a very rare and specific role in the world of FFVII. If he was wandering around the world of Eorzea it would destroy the image of the world of FFVII, so this can’t happen.

This is just a simple example of what we mean."

You didn't play it on Commodore 64?

Why are you using a pixel filter?

The DRG for actually beating A8S

You should always use Tri-Disaster+Contagion in DWT so this isn't even a question. You should also use two Festers along with the Ruin 3 spam.

How new are you?

ugly af desu senpai

Re purposed so he's his own character in XIV.

>have gtx 480 and core i7 q6660
>top of the line hardware back in 2010

god damn what a time that was.

That didn't stop Lighning to appear on Eorzea.

1.0 had an option to subsample the game

Thanks senpai

>255 for A12S raid finder
Not happening

When is Cure 3 ever needed?

Heavensward new but I can't play every month because life sucks.

What's Urianger doing

That was before Lightning Returns though in Japan so her story wasn't completed yet.

>Have i7 3770k
>8GB RAM
>GTX 580

It still ran like absolute shit.

Which is exactly in line with 225 for a8s

Saving the world with Elidibus.

If your party needs healers DPS to clear, you should just quit.

It just means the DPS aren't doing their job.

>that feel when there's a shitload of things you have to do and you can't log in
I'd wish it was possible to at least dress up retainers from the website while the maintenance is going.

A8S JWaves, I think that's the only actual place last tier where AST heals really suffered compared to WHM.

That was when she was still stuck in dimensional limbo in her series though, now that her story is over she won't appear again.

Gilgamesh appeared although he dies in FFV but his whole thing is that he traveled through dozens of different worlds via the Rift before he met the party again at the end of the game, allowing him to show up in any number of future FF games.

>hes never done savage
dont waste my time kid

look forward to the FFXIV retainer companion app for mobile phones later this year

Ok. Then what's the excuse for Ultros?

He didn't even die in FFV. When Necrophobe "kills" him, it throws him into FFVIII, because when he pops out he's asking about Bartz.

Ultros in XIV isn't the same Ultros from VI. He's a Voidsent summoned from the Necrologos.

Man I didn't know this game ran on n64

Why do you keep going against the MODS Cred Forums?

>Snatched a Hive wing for one Hive weapon

I think it'll still cost a fortune when buying the rest of the mats post patch.

This.

Gilgamesh doesn't die.
When he gets defeated in that dimension he is transported into another dimension.

>DRG dead
The little details...

I know that feel senpai

hope you managed to grab some battlecraft 3 demimaterias as well cause if you didn't you can always just spend those allied seals that are wasting space in your currency bag and desynth for them instead of paying the absurd amount they'll be on tuesday

I have the Ravana bird but no forewings
I don't have the Thordan bird but the Thordan weapons do not require any items from the trial

Is this my punishment for trolling in last week's A8S?

/vg/ is completely unusable, and can only be made better by several dozen permabans. Since that won't happen, people talk about video games on Cred Forums.

THREAD ID'S WHEN FOR /vg/?

>patch comes out
>get done with half the content in a couple hours
>have a crafted set the same day
>beat sophex the first week
>back to raid logging

oh well

Wait, didn't that tree race that whorshipped Septhiroth evolve into Lalas?

I really love the jwaves phase, there are so much straightforward simon says mechanics in xiv's raids that its nice to have an old fashioned raw numbers slugfest like that once in awhile. What a great way to cap off the tier.

/vg/ is for attention whoring erp

I bought 1 before the prices went up. I mean they were 150k each very early on and I quickly snatched one for 65k. I mean 2-3 mil to get it is no biggie for me when assholes sell them for 9mil. I fucking hate crafters. I havent made it to end game crafting yet so I cant jew or make the weapons myself

>not buying up all the hive forewings from the MB for dirtcheap as soon as the trailer revealed them

Wont make a difference, everyone knows each other there.

Whta you expect, is the only use they have for gil in the game.

Lalas are allagan creations.

No, you're thinking of the weird fish bug things you can fish up in Azys Lla. The tree people turned into the Bikolo enemies in the Arboretum.

When the shit did JWaves need Cure 3? Once both healers get their DoTs up AST+SCH can keep up to wave 9 no issue with 19k HP on the group.

Had it on farm status for awhile now.

What exactly are the 180 hive weapons for?

Resubscribed last week and I'm already in love with the music again

youtube.com/watch?v=OBLN4O6rZs4

Glamour

The true endgame

They were the entry-level weapons for Gordias Savage in 3.0.

But what do they look like, if it's just the Ravana weapons is it just dyeable?

I'm writing a list of for myself of shit to buy up and which timed nodes have become relevant again. I played the MB pretty hard when 3.3 hit and I fully intend to do so again.

But man, Grade 3 Dissolvents are just a hilarious addition to me because I had multiple people absolutely convinced they were going to recycle Grade 2 again because Aqua was giving them out like candy and Eikon gear required Grade 1. I've been taunting them that they'd add Grade 3 and that they'd require new mats and they actually did it the absolute madmen. In before they're specialist locked too.

They glow red. You can see them in the 3.4 trailer during one of the dungeon previews.

They now glow.

Did you even pay attention? Every time Gilgamesh shows up in other games is before he goes kamikaze at the end of FFV from his perspective. The games don't happen chronologically.

How farmable is Midas?

Lockout is finally gone so its time to get some glamours.

Of course they're specialist, expecting them not be is like expecting the weapons or gear themseveles not to be.

Fuck, I must have missed it.

Why did they miss Bismarck ;_;

>True end game

Fucking kek'd. After I gave up on end game raiding, glamour and side content is the only shit I do

They didn't. They were added last patch and have a windy+bubbles particle effect.

Far less farmable than Gordias.
A8S will require a ton of learning for most groups and can't be scummed out like A4S.

what went right for FFXIV while other MMOs failed?

Music.

Yeah most of the attention whores and ERP faggots are either a trip/namefag or post pictures of their characters with every post. IDs won't change anything because you can already see whos posting already.

reminder is you don't clear an EX primal in the first week you don't clear it at all

Music and Art.
Modern Graphics.

Marketing
Consistent content release
Struck right at the height of WoD hate.

You're right, but it's like the cherry on top after Jewing off luminous fibers so hard. I feel like I've been on a never ending money train.

With the higher ilvl, echo and the nerfs they did it should be simple enough, bonus or not.

Nah you just wait till the next expansion get to Lv70 and unsync it.

THIS TIME I WILL!

I'M IN LOVE WITH SOPHIA! SHE'S CUTE! CUTE!!

Unlike the others it's a good game.

nooooooooooo

How did I miss this?

Fuck the mods.

Some fucking poster who sent an email in to moot 4 years ago to regulate an anime board.

A friend convinced me to turn into a cat and now I'm a complete degenerate and I love it.

>Thordan introduced
>Prepare myself to beat the shit outta him
>Then my HDD get fucked and my mother board burn too
>Have to wait 2 weeks to buy another one
>2 weeks later every good players have already beaten him and all the learning/clearing parties wip on first phase
>mfw

It's hard to not feel like a slut when playing a cat.

who is this FemRoe?

2.0 only succeeded because it only ever got compared to 1.x's failure, if it was compared to any other MMO it would have failed and without the brand name it wouldn't have been known.

3.0 was a shitty excuse for an expansion and I doubt 4.0 will improve upon that with Yoshi still in charge.

make a new thread you shills

Man i'm so sick of Miq'ote, they are worse than Elins at this point

Look at his face, he know's he's a hack riding on the fact he's the face of the game.

If it's balanced around AST shields then SCH will still be able to mitigate everything no problem.

Or he's jetlagged as fuck every time.

>tfw you'll never be the savior of Final Fantasy and make haters butthurt just by existing

What is Minfilia 2.0 going to look like?

I got SMT IV / New Phoenix Wright but I need other shit.

A big glowing crystal.

Music rips when?!

Bigger, better and your private retainer.

I've never failed to clear any EX Primal while it's relevant and I've never done them in the first week because my ilevel is always too low when the patch hits since I don't bother grinding for gear.

Dead when Zodiark revives.

Minfilia 2.0 was meek waifu titty monster. Minfilia 1.0 was a stone cold bitch with a short fuse because her adoptive mother killed her dad, and she wanted to ally with the beast tribes to nuke Garlemald with the primals.

Like Zordon

What was the name of the bismarck weapons?

The ones that drop from EX are Expanse, the crafted are Endless Expanse.

Otto von of ______

Good luck. A4s has like 5 mechanics that were completely trivialized by gear and that's absolutely not the case in a8s. A5s was already easy, enumerations/height and vortexer debuffs can't be outgeared, and all echo would do in a7 is alleviate the dps check and make damage up stacks more manageable.

Endless X

Hopefullylike empty because she won't be fucking there. Removing Minfilia was the best thing about HW.

Did they even look good?

>Warrior of Light! Zodiark has escaped! Assemble a team of adventurers with attitude!

why dont you check yourself you moron

Lalas were made by allagans?

>This is what squadrons are for
fuck

There's a weird bug thing you can fish up in Azys Lla. The description says that its flesh feels extremely similar to lalafell skin. It's nothing conclusive, but it was confirmed that Allagans bioengineered the ixal so now people think the Allagans bioengineered every non hyur race.

But the game is down

And don't forget that sentai gear from summer event.

If you scroll down it shows you that those give 120 minute self-buffs.

Internet is a thing, I've heard.

...

Should I make a new thread?

Maybe

We're not a damn general.

When conversation stagnates, /vg/ shenaigans crop up.

People will be discussing things when the patch drops anyway.

>3 min before the maintenance someone was selling one of those moonfire halter for 150k
>Bought it and put it again for 1M200k

It's a patchday it's not like we have anything to do but talk about the game or shitpost.

Jesus I left during 3.1 and they still can't balance AST? Shows you how incompetent the developers are, they can only create vanity and flashy bosses only it seems.

AST was fine before, now they are OP.

savage

New general bros?

God I wanna level a MNK, I just don't want to depart with healer queue times.

I would turn Tank main is a set like this is put in the game for Tanks.

do it

why that general hasn't been studied by a psychologist yet idk

This is what happens when you use ERP as a source of validation instead of fun, nonsensical fucking around.

Psychologists end up going mental themselves seeing that general.
