>>717594593For the EX, it’s job dependent. I have to use a melee combo on them to get out by the time the boss is targetable and Im full BiS. Doing veraero/thunder spam with accel and GI gets very close but you are losing uptime on the boss.
The dps ones enrage when you kill one so you have to kill them at around the same time.
In normal people just won’t hit their buttons and get doomed.

its a reminder that when you get a trial with duty support available in trial roulette, someone there couldn't clear it with 3 reraise charges and perfect teammates
>>717595047No thats a modbeast
It is staggering how bad the game it is without the little QoL mods I am running.
This is the girlboss expansion I want
>>717594914That’s the ONLY good raid story alongside Bahamut.
Alexander is awful *touches scar*, Omega is fanservice nonsense with a chicken running through space, The Void Ark is about nothing.
>>717594773Same reason VGChartz isn't reliable - the numbers for accurate subscriber counts simply don't exist in the vast majority of MMOs so everybody has to guess based on vibes. in Fino Fano's case the devs really don't care if you're guessing based on Lodestone scrapes since that's all publicly available information (Yoshida in particular will probably laugh at you if you barrel into stream chat spamming GAME DEAD like he has with some other community figures on other issues during Dawntrail) but they DO start caring when you're pinging every player in sight using PlayerScope due to the side effect of the plugin's harvesting player IDs.
>>717593969I moved on to swtor but these threads are still good for a laugh.
>>717595139>using mods>playing on pc
>>717594587Another alliance raid of bad gear as well!
I want to get into ff14 as a lalafell sage, but I don't want to associate myself with the lala erp community. I hate those faggots so much. Why can't I play as a small alchemy mage without having to carry that stigma?
>>717595139I need to figure out how to do that drop-down menu macro thing for hotbars so I don't need a plugin to handle the actual drop-down effect for me. I know it's possible but I remember hitting a brick wall finding out where or how to do it.
This game got outclassed by WuWa
>>717595276>hehe I play an inferior version, so I am morally superior
>>717595325It’s simple: just wear meme attire.
>>717595159Alexander's time travel stuff was at least original and didn't drag on.
Omega was fanservice, but it wasn't trying to hide it. It was just a tournament arc. Also didn't drag on.

Really interesting. Fun thing btw, all the IP Range Bans were lost after the hack recently. So that’s why there’s been an Schizo uptick in all the threads here
>>717595089Those quests took way too long
>>717595325normies don't presume you're a degenerate as a lala. they presume memer who will rough you the HECK up

>>717595414>instead, a janny will nuke anybody posting the Google Doccy or even talking about it yesterday or the day before dumpy got cleaned out again and he was actually getting frustrated with the mods keeping on top of him for once, he had to wait for very late night to have his daily hate general
>all the IP Range Bans were lost after the hack recently. So that’s why there’s been an Schizo uptick in all the threads hereno that's just ecker services coming back up
>>717595325You spend too much time in these threads
>>717595091Im surprised they created a mechanic with such a high punishment, especially since in 5.3 they went out of their way to remove perma death in fights.
It’s weird to see the fight designers be ballsy.
>>717595464Yep. Normies would think “cute like Animal Crossing” or so.
>>717595386I want my lala to look cool, not like some streamer's dark souls character. She should be mystical and fairy like.
>>717595412What server is both populated and doesn't give you an erplala stigma?
>>717595480I'll believe it when I see WuWa threads show up with regularity instead of getting constant appearances alongside thread floods in FF14 threads.
>>717595551this. your biggest obstacle to rping as a lala is to be taken seriously
>>717595593Depends on the datacenter

>>717594914This is true but that doesn’t excuse the alliance raid story from sucking dick and being, frankly, lazy in its execution.
>>717595414You can always go talk about this slop on /vg/ tranny.
>>717593969xivsissies really are that pathetic lul
>>717595868lazy how? a mamool ja using electrope to run a FFXI private-server and everybody in it getting pretty fucking pissed they're a simulation of some other world is a cool angle. including the elvaan who seems like he actually is from that world and he's getting culture shock at things being the same but not quite or specific simulations not remembering him
>>717595865Thanks, maybe it's finally time to roll up my lala.
>>717595868I really don't know how the fuck you'd make a good framing story for the XI raids. You can't really hop over and back since it's not even a shard, but the current story of it being Mamool Jafar making it out of electrope is just odd.
At least it's not Myths of the Realm tier
>>717596000>go to the place dumpy is too terrified to go because mods exist there. even if it doesn't seem like itHonestly it's funny how sniveling the average shitposter actually is. I recall dumpy raging on 8moe too before he or somebody else gave up all pretenses and started spamming the whole website so bad it was starting to catch fire.
>>717596013>jafar fell into a bottomless pit.... but ended up in FFXI somehow!>now here are random memberberries tossed into a blender!That's lazy as fuck.
>>717596143it's vague whether he actually did or didn't, but you're fixated on calling it lazy to the point of oversimplifying it to have any ground to stand on so i'll leave you be
>>717595339this but unironically
>>717596143yeah. not even an original song in it. the second wing felt phoned in compared to the first as far as memberberries
>>717593787>we also don’t have a side quest trial series and never will againThere's absolutely no reason they couldn't have both trials in the MSQ patches and a side quest trial, even if the side quest trials are B team.
>>717596000trips of truth
>>717596268we usually still do have that but it's tied to hildibrand so people say it doesn't exist, see asura and gilgamesh
>>717593787>wasting yet another alliance raid instead of using it to world build, especially since we also don’t have a side quest trial series and never will againThe only alliance raid that wasn't world building was the nier one, ff11 was already double canon to 14 before dawntrail.
>>717596073The only way people are gonna think you're a lewd lala is if you go out of your way to advertise it, go to nsfw lala friendly rp venues, or mod and join a public syncshell with sexy outfits on.
It's not like you can automatically tell when a hroth or male viera is a raging pervert due to how hes dressed, but the same outfit on a lala usually just looks funny
>>717593969So that's why they keep shitting up the catalog with their general
>>717595339I downloaded WuWa and the start is so dreadful I shut it down after reaching the first town.
>>717593787Don't care faggot
You'll continue to spam horny yshtola pictures because you have an illness
>>717596087>I really don't know how the fuck you'd make a good framing story for the XI raids.By tying it into the other FFXI content that's already there and was perfectly set up for it. Remember how Zantetsuken is still out there? It's from Eureka. Half of FFXI's story ties into Odin fucking things up because that's his job. Make the Shadow Lord a previous wielder of Zantetsuken. Have an adventurer named Luzaf searching for it and getting corrupted. Spitewardens as more Zantetsuken tempered.
>>717596194It's not vague, he ended up in the Walk of Echoes. And no, it's not oversimplified. That's the whole story. This latest patch was literally

>>717593969There are barely any second life avenues left at this point in XIV. The only people who continue to huff hopium are the savage raider and content creators who depend on XIV for their income. I think each and every one of them declared .1, .2 and now .3 as the patch that saved DT at some point.

>>717596721> Xeno recently had a temper tantrum over voice-chat on a stream about a very simple puzzle in MSQ because he skipped cutscenes and didn't read instructions (ultimate raider btw)Because I know you don’t watch it, just pointing out that he was being sarcastic. You’re just repeating what others said happened. At the 54 minute mark of the stream (the Kick link was put here) he said that he might make a silly toxic post about it, but overall didn’t care.
>>717597105Why are you talking about Wuk Lamat? She's from 7.0 and we're on 7.3 now. You seem obsessed.
>>717596970They have to remove the expository dialogue with NPCs standing around emoting. That’s the most important part.
All you have to do is hook player intrigue. Everyone’s checked out at the moment because there’s no attachment to Tural, the characters or the antagonist.
The way to create intrigue is through silence. You say as little as possible and rely more on cinematography to carry scenes. Instead of pushing a narrative, you pose little questions to the player.
After that, you need emotional attachment to the characters again. You need scenes like Sphene waking up, Alisae and Gaboo, Yshtola flirting with you.
It works. Content and raids are secondary to the attachment of the setting.
>>717597243They are maximizing usage of Wuk talk before we leave her in Tural
>>717597090Honest discussions, of course, start with back-checking your pics to see if they ever made me mad before. I will now swear vengeance against you across many ecker service tabs and still struggle to get more than one friend to help me out with my autistic crusade, such that it's patently obvious whenever I stop flooding to argue, and sometimes lose track of my own "posting personalities" and mix their gimmicks.

I’ll share a bit of love for Caetsu as well. He’s fantastic at explaining things, and goes into technical depth without overwhelming the viewer with math or complicated details.
In a couple threads (across subreddits) I’ve mentioned that dungeons are designed to take 13 minutes: 1-1-2-1-1-2-1-1-3 for w2w trash pulls and bosses. I’ve been disagreed with arbitrarily at times. In a recent Caetsu video, he broke down a typical dungeon run by 1min/2min burst timers, and it matched my suggested timeline exactly. But his explanation was not only consumable, it was also educational and would course correct a lot of bad habits players might find themselves falling into.
I don’t agree with every single thing he posts but I DO think every video is a fantastic place to dive deeper into the nuances of the game. Unlike… some content creators, I get the sense he actually cares about improving a player’s experience and skill. And, as others have said, he is passionate about the game and actually enjoys it - he’s the positivity we should be putting on a pedestal.

God, I need Cross-up and NoClippy back. Double weaving without NoClippy feels like trudging through mud, and not being able to view more cross-hotbars on controller like we're still dealing with PS3 display resolutions is just pain.
On the topic of Cross-up, why the actual fuck can kb/m players completely clog their entire screens with hotbars if they so choose, but controller players can ONLY have essentially 2 bars visible at a time? Just let me have my regular XHB, WXHB, and double trigger hold bars visible at the same time, dammit. And make other bars mappable on controllers with back paddles now that they've become so popular. We're long overdue some updates to the XHB, but they're still treating that whole system like people are still playing on PS3.
>>717597867Takes me 24 minutes per run while I’m doing errands or at work. HusbandoMax’s Dungeon Master for tome farming as MCH. Can’t go wrong with it.
For me it’s not as much about how much in the cash shops as what’s in it versus what’s in game. In game we are told “rewards are hard” and given materia and maybe some gear that’s ilvl is always outdated when it releases. Then in the cash shop they get shadow dog mount, cruise chaser mount, good glamour, etc. There has been some cool pieces added in game this expansion but it has largely been trash. Outside of PvP and vanguard did we have any actually good sets? In terms of shiny weapons we even got less than usually since neither raid got one and the coolest new weapons went into map gamba (probably to stretch content). This patch also didn’t have a crafted extreme shiny weapon. The last two have been diamond and emerald both of which were more than a little disappointing, especially emerald.
It feels especially bad due to the content drought as it feels like the money we spend in the cash shop doesn’t even go back into the game or people would probably be ok with more cash shop items.
It’s also the mounts that went into the store. Having shadow dog and cruise chaser in there feels really bad. Those are mounts that directly correlate to raids in the game and they are something that would mean something to a lot of people. I don’t mind seeing the cutesy mounts in there but those ones always make me sad to look at. I was surprised Yan didn’t just go in there to follow the trend.

Checked some statistics on the excel site and it seems 7.2 savage clear numbers are lower than what they were during stormblood 4.2. So is their plan to delete job design and systems and bank everything on the encounters working or not? Also as could be seen from lucky bancho the player numbers are still dropping...
Also chaotic, variant and the latest forked seem to have flopped pretty hard as well even though some ppl were saying everything is peak... I wonder which was more popular. Island sanctuary or all of these and I'm not saying is was good...
