    That's unfair to say. I don't have to have things be now. If Lullaby Island was a "do this 50 times" I would be totally fine with it. But it's not. It's a "here roll a D100? Not 95+? Try again next time!" I could get it next attempt or I could do a thousand and not get it. I don't like that...

    I was at over 100 attempts and gave up. Yeah I probably could have. It was the RNG that wore me down over everything else though. There's RNG built into everything and as a completionist gamer it was absolute hell trying to keep up with all the events going on at various times and looking at...

    You are correct. I ranted out at the game yesterday on Discord and quit. The RNG just got too much for me. Fuck Lullaby Island. My stats: Quit with 3000 blue crystals bought with gold, 25k gold, Gear score 1070. 100% free to play. Could I have pushed further? Possibly. But my fun was waning...

    It's not about there being a wall to progress. It's about there being a wall that other people can boost over by swiping while you are getting left behind. I am 100% ok with a game taking months to progress. I am less ok with a game taking months to progress that other people can skip with real...

    I'm playing from Japan with 140 ping. It's not terrible, but if it hits 200+, it's /really/ noticeable that I get hit by stuff I feel I clearly dodged, and you get dragged back across the screen to whatever you got hit by.

    The trend continues to the point where in Shadowbringers 80%+ of the MSQ is voiced.

    so am I correct in assuming the first thing I should do upon hitting level 50 is continue until I get to North Vern?

    Can't teleport in combat :) Get someone to carry you through the coils of bahamut for the story if you can. I'd do it myself if you were on Aether.

    The thing that bugs me about legacy movement is that I can't look behind me while moving forward, but you can mitigate that somewhat by using autorun.

    Found the easiest way to demonstrate. With standard movement, start facing a dummy. Run through it, W key only, and use an ability it once you are past it on the other side. Your character should pivot, turn around and start running the opposite direction, effectively 180ing. Now do it with...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Are you making sure you have auto-facing on even in Legacy? You are supposed to leave it turned on in both versions. But anyway that's correct, even if you don't notice it, each time you use an ability, your character is being forced to look in the direction of the target briefly with standard...

    You think you are, but you aren't. Xenos is facing AWAY From the dummy the entire time he is hitting it. You are being turned to face the dummy every time you attack, then manually looking away. These are not the same thing. Sooner or later standard movement will get you killed. This is a when...

    Go a target dummy with standard camera on. Attack it a few times with abilities, then run away from it while spamming abilities. Then run through it to the other side and keep spamming your abilities. Then run backward through it again. At various times you should be forcibly interrupted in your...

    The check you have doesn't ignore facing. It auto-faces you. It turns your character automatically to face whatever you are targeting and uses the skill. This can really wreck you, because if you are running away from a boss using a mechanic, and try to greed a GCD on the way out, and you are...

    the S key is irrelevant. It's being able to ignore facing that is the power of legacy movement. Try it out on a dummy. Face away from the dummy, and hit an ability on it with regular movement. Then try it with legacy. Then try running circles around the dummy, facing various directions with...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    You'd think that, but every serious player uses legacy movement. It offers tangible benefits that cannot be ignored. Not needing to face NPCS to use skills on them is massive. Ever had issues with facing or having your character move without your input when using overpower? that would never...

    I was anti-legacy movement as well until I discovered that not only can you run out faster with S, but that Legacy movement completely negates the need to be facing the NPC you want to hit with abilities. It really opens up freedom of movement. If you don't use legacy movement, either you are...

    It depends on your definition of Pay to win. Do you need to pay to "beat" the game - no. Are Pvp and the Tier3 raids normalized, no advantage with money - yes, except guild vs guild and open world island pvp. Paying gets you to Tier3 faster. Does paying money give you in-game advantages, cut...
