    Unlikely to do that much but might improve a bit. AST didn't look particularly more fun now but maybe I'll give it a try over WHM which definitely looks boring, although it's strong. Doing SCH atm, the 1.5s nuke change is godlike qol and it really sucks it took this long. Can use all my...

    For the afk talk, don't be stupid and do it in a personnal instance area(like any inn or your GC HQ or something like that). While unlikely you don't want to get reported for afking, even if you don't get any penalty you'll likely get kicked out and eat the queue. Logged in this morning to a 25...

    Yes and while they're adding some reverse gender class it's a slow process(and the classes are technically not the same even if they mirror a bunch of skills).

    No there isn't at all. Even Ctrl alt del and killing the process still apparently forces a normal logout. Might work if you're not in a city so it tries to log out with the 20secs timer but haven't tested that.

    Alright finally done with the MSQ. It was pretty amazing, lots of unexpected shit going on, it was quite a ride. I haven't really timed it, but it felt much longer than the usual MSQ. I think I played a bit over 50hours since launch, and while a few hours were spent doing some gathering and...

    I don't think that's the issue necessarily. They've repeatedly said they couldn't open new servers due to issues getting the hardware, as well as moving personnel around to install it(which is either because it runs piece of shit software you need to know about, or because they want to oversee...

    Oh wait I think I got your problem. You're a trial account? Paid subs have priority over trials in queue, which usually isn't an issue but with such a long queue, basically trial is impossible to log in with currently. Sucks but yeah for now you pretty much can't play the game unless you're...

    You keep your slot when you 2002 though. I got 2 errors at launch but both time it resumed where it left off/earlier, eventually got in. Relogged at the end of the day at like 3AM and still had 2k queue but only took like 15mins to get back in. No server crash so haven't had to relog otherwise...

    They didn't lie when they said this would be longer than usual, feels like I've already done as much as ShB and I'm still on the lvl 85 MSQ stuff. I guess cause there's a lot more long cutscenes and stuff not sure. Good thing is xp is plentiful for once, usually it's kinda tight at release if...

    Man Ocean Fishing is pretty busted, did a run cause I figured I wanted to get my Fishing up for ventures, gained 2 entire levels(from 80.7 to 82.7) with 0 spectral(2man boat with a newb, so even the spectral fish I got didn't proc) and since I wanted to try the big fish I was conserving GP so...

    Patch is up for download btw. In case you run into the error message about version mismatch, go to My Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn and edit FFXIV_BOOT.cfg with Notepad, then change BootVersionCheckMode 0 to 1 and launch it again, it'll force download the new patcher...

    Book will be available until next tuesday AND can be turned next week too(books last for 2weeks). Likely worth doing though since it's half a level for a fairly short amount of time if you use your lvl 80 and unsync, you won't beat it doing anything else I think. Also the book gives a bunch of...

    Well there's no rework coming I don't think, a few classes are already planned for reworks, but Summoner isn't one of them at least as far as I understand, the classes looking at reworks are Arcana and one of the warrior classes(I think the hammer one?). The only thing close is the fact Summoner...

    No no, adding Sorc was a great idea, I totally agree with this one, pretty sure I said the same thing a few posts back maybe last page. But why go and remove Summoner in the process? The class was already translated since it was in closed beta so there was no more work to be done on it.

    What do you mean SAM positionnals, I'm not seeing any change? Edit: I guess they changed Gekko and Kasha mechanics, but they were already positionals? Like they've always been positionals ever since the class was added, they just switched it from adding more Kenki to having more potency(same...

    One thing that was in the press build that's not really indicated anywhere on the tooltips is that Enhanced Flare stacks. In the press tour, it stacked up to 2. Also Umbra Hearts do affect Flare in the press tour. Like with 3 stacks you can cast Flare and still have 3600mp free and 2 umbral...

    Replacing Summoner sounds fucking retarded. Why would they do that, I don't think there'd be a tech issue limiting them to a specific amount of classes in our version but they did remove Arcana for Striker from what I understand, and now Summoner for Sorc, so maybe there's some fuckery? "Glad"...

    92.5s comparison for more fairness, we assume Phlegma/Assize are used right away, since Phlegma is a GCD, Sage needs one more GCD to apply dot so fairer that way: WHM 3x Dia 660x3= 1980, 2x Assize 400x2= 800, Blood Lilly= 900, 33 Glare(37-3dia-1blood lily) 33x310= 10230 Total= 13910 SGE 3x...

    Hmm MNK got some unexpected changes. Bootshine/Dragon Kick also have removed positionals, so only Snap Punch/Demolish now have positionals. That's a huge change from "all 6 GCDs have positionals" to "only 2 out of 6 have positionals". Especially big since missing positionals on Bootshine was...

    There should be no stat squish on ARR, it's just 51+ iirc. Regardless stat squish isn't supposed to affect difficulty, they might end up rescaling stuff but they didn't really mention anything in the prelim patch notes about it so I don't expect much actual changes, besides Unsynced(which...

    Have you done your Wonderous Tail book for this week already? That's one thing. Leveling roulette too, Alliance roulette also(make sure to unequip gear so you have around 110ilvl before you queue then put it back on, so you only get syrcus or lab, these take like 15mins but everything else is...

    Most 80 clear the ARR stuff in a minute or so, it's really fast on everyone really that's why it's better to just reset those than to try to do Omega 3N or Eden 6N or whatever else is in the book. BLU definitely beats everything for this though, it's literal one shot for most of the ARR primals...

    Eh, I think having an asynchronous race, while more boring from a spectator point of view, would be better for everyone overall. Yeah health bla bla, but also you basically can't compete if you don't do the same shit and that just feels like it's not a very fair way to do a "race". Not that most...

    The xp is actually somewhat new, 5.3 iirc? It used to not give any xp. It was still worth doing cause it gives money(via treasure maps and tomes you can cash in materials with) or MGP, and if you hit the jackpot it's A LOT of money. It also took like 5mins with BLU, you just do the ARR EX...

    Is khloe half a level? Though it was 30%. Half a level would let me basically hit 71 in 2mins by turning the book from last week+the 30ish sidequests I have saved which give 1.8% each at 70(apparently it's more xp at lower lvl and goes down to 1% at 80 so figured I'd turn them in on RPR/SGE)...

    It was in the little thing they posted earlier already, not sure if they caught all the tricks though. There's really only two afaik, HUD Layout basically completely removes the afk timer, and then if you're busy during the kick attempt it doesn't kick you(there's dozens of way to be busy...

    Yeah can't even use it anywhere atm even if you have it(Steam users have it for example). Will go up sometimes during maint or during early access. The preorder early access works for 7days, so until dec10th. After that you lose EW access if you haven't entered the real code, but that's plenty...

    You can verify if account is flagged on Mogstation, there's a line for EW preorder. You should have gotten a code already to register, assuming you're on PC(PSN is autoregistered). There will be another code during EA for the full version.

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    It was super unfinished cause it was dev hell shit, they restarted a bunch of things several times and they kinda scrapped together a game eventually with that. Scope was way too big originally and they had no idea what they were doing most likely. This is why I have more confidence in XVI...

    Yeah I remember watching their kill live and finding it weird he asked that but figured they had done a pull where they used melee LB3 before cause I didn't watch the prog but yeah. The swords part is also very obvious since he calls the mechanic before it even starts, the first time they even...

    I'd say the P2W isn't that bad, but it's a set amount that you more or less are going to end up paying.

    I think for GC turn ins they stay relevant, because you can't just turn in whatever you want anyway. At 81, you'll still get the 80 list stuff sometimes, it just bumps the 79 stuff out and replaces it with 81 stuff, and only at 82 you phase out ShB stuff entirely, as far as I remember...
