DNC gets noticeably more interesting at 72 when you get Flourish. It's only on one minute cd and lights up all your procs, so you get a good amount of fan feathers out of it(and a fan dance III proc base), so all of a sudden you can get some pretty good oGCD weaving going on especially if you...

Nvm talked too soon. It seems Amh Araeng has 70 nodes, could see them fine at 70, but Kholusia nodes seem to be higher levels so they don't appear at 70.

Launcher had a couple of hiccups for me(crashed right away when servers came up, then was laggy), got in first time then 2002 login server errror shit while ingame, back to launcher, then got in after a couple more launcher crashes and now in queue, started at 1700 but going down pretty fast...

Cross server linkshells within the same datacenter yes, already existed, they now increased them to 8 like normal ilnkshells. Nothing like @Rezz suggested as far as cross datacenter stuff though, everything is limited to datacenters other than server transfers.

It's being linked on the spoilers discord of The Balance and Reddit, people kinda linking a lot of random shit though so it's better to just wait for the reddit post that'll just sort all that shit properly.

Seems datamining is starting. The first batch of primal weapons are looking really nice.

Bots don't bother gathering unspoiled shit that spawns once every 20mins though I don't think. As noted above this might also be only for Diadem nodes? Anyway bots don't really control the prices on these, people "failling" aetherial reduction while aiming for sands get thousands of clusters...

At SB launch people would get 2-3hours queue in the evening every day. If you think they were doing that to make the game more popular, you'd have to be pretty stupid.

Note, Trusts are only for ShB dungeons for now. They will work on adding them back on SOME content, maybe, eventually, but for now it's pure 70+ content, so not very relevant for you atm. There's Squadrons for ARR/HW dungeons, but they don't cover all dungeons, work differently and require...

Yeah I'm unsure about this change, it seems weird, since you can't aetherial reduce at 50, so in theory someone without the expansions won't be able to get materials for 50 crafts, which is weird. Unless maybe it meant they're moving them from Unspoiled nodes to normal nodes(the line was in the...

The initial download went up a few hours after maintenance, but then you had to download more shit later in the day. Kinda surprising it's not up already, at least the first part.

A good tip would be to read the tip popups since they kinda tell you that. I know people hate popups but they're pretty informative and fairly short. Things that you could probably miss would be... The combat chocobo quest in South Shroud(Camp Tranquil) that lets you use your chocobo in the...

90% means unusable in most cases as far as I'm concerned. Can use it for manual crafting MAYBE, but honestly it's generally not worth risking fucking up 2 synth in a row and getting completely fucked out of your craft because of bad RNG. You'd need to require crazy optimization to need it too...

Early access, they said so during one of the live letters. Won't be on sale like currently though obviously.

Yeah bunch of new stuff. Rapid Synth III sounds like ultra garbage but might combo with another to not have 50% chance of success, and the other stuff might be useful. I wonder if Reuse is something like a reset.

Yeah I know the change I'm just curious how much it'll affect crafting in practice without using HQ mats, we'll see I guess.

You should clear more than that tbh but eh up to you. I cleared out my shit a long time ago, I generally throw away all the past expansion stuff a few weeks after new expansion launch and I can confirm what's still needed and what's useless. Worst case scenario, I have to buy the mats again that...

They showed off the furnishing preview in the last live letter, it looked nice and exactly what I'd want if I had a house to decorate. With demolishions though I'm never buying a house again so until they release bigger appartments, it doesn't really concern me too much. No real surprises in...

Finished preparations for the most part. Did my 2 roulettes+2dungeons+4commends for the challenge log, capped genesis in Eureka, just need to get 200gatherer red scrips tomorrow and kill some centurio mobs so there's only 1 mob left for each page. Almost fucked up the melding challenge log cause...

RAF recruiter? Yeah maybe. I got a mount like last week from someone resubbing and it being 90days apparently, maybe you. Mentors are ingame shit that you can apply for when you do a bunch of garbage requirements and you get a crown next to your name and access to novice network. A lot of...

Yeah people clear ultimates with pads, it's not a big issue. You do need to organize your shit properly obviously but past that it's more than fine, the GCD is slower on purpose for this kind of stuff, and short of targetting, it's not a big deal, and you still have healers playing with pads in...

Rested isn't used in HoH/PotD, it's only used on kill xp which you don't get any of in these. You'll be at full rested starting 70 if you only do HoH(minus whatever you use to get to 61 unless you do potd, I'm doing a leveling roulette personnally). It's also not used doing primals, but maybe...

Thing is it gets worse depending on the roles and who's the newbs. Like, if your tanks(or at least one of the tank on some of the fights) and healers are mentors, and they've done the fight before, then you can generally clear pretty easily most of the fights other than the ones with mechanics...

Yeah DF means you get mentor roulettes people, since that's the only roulette that gets these. So it's that and a bunch of newbs, some of which are wholly unprepared for EX content. Older EX aren't so bad though and can generally be carried, especially the early ones(like ifrit/titan) but some...

People rarely use macros for combat job stuff, because macros are shit in this game, largely because they can't be queued and also are wonky at times. Only macros most people use are on oGCDs that require special targetting(ground targetted stuff or buff you throw on people). Like for DRG you'd...

Oh fuck Diablo 4 is Hellgate 2? Fuck this dumb ass shit if it's true. Also that story pitch looks like the worst shit every written. Whole point of Diablo is you kill a bunch of demons. What you gonna kill if you fight Angels, just well, Angels? Do they have any other monsters? Or do the Angels...

I made macros for DNC so I can press 3 buttons and put all the skills on my bar and save the 20seconds so I can start leveling faster. It was entirely pointless, but I had nothing else to do. Right now the only things left for me to do is to prepare the challenge log tomorrow then run Pyros for...

Yeah I thought I remembered prelim on tuesday too until I checked it. We'll see maybe they have them ready and will release them in advance.

Job guide was during the maintenance. That said when I looked into it, prelim patch notes were also during maintenance. Soon after maintenance started, they releases prelim patch notes then several hours later(the day after in japan I think), they released final patch notes which had Known...

If you mean Bone Harvest cold, that's irrelevant. You leave bone harvest at one, 1dread, dump into Soul Harvest. The skill is really only used for the buff in pet builds, there's no need to lvl it further. One other good skill if you have more keybinds to waste is Ravenous Earth with the 2nd...

Yeah you have some damage, but 4% attackspeed versus 50%pet, and 39%crit dmg versus 92%, so they do a lot less damage. If you get Grim Internals you can probably summon both and hit a dummy for a bit and see how much they do versus some other pets. Thing about Soul Harvest is it buff every...

You'd probably get a shitton of damage from dropping Guardian to 1(since they don't do a lot of damage, they're player scaled pets so don't benefit from most of your stuff and they can't be killed so don't need hp) and dumping that into Soul Harvest, with obviously 1pt Bone Harvest(maybe 1pt...

Fishing is weirder than the other 2. You get a lot more xp just gathering normally, but collectibles are a lot shittier especially pre SB, since you can't select what to gather and there's no skill to boost the rating, it's basically just if you crit you get a collectible you can turn, if you...

Yeah the queue is pretty small atm still, but it's growing a bit. Also 22 should be near instant, cancel the queue and select your char again and you should get in. The reason it takes longer is because the automated checks are only every ~20secs, to prevent spamming the servers when there's a...

There's different categories. Some categories involve just playing the game normally/only using minor glitches(the fact you move faster if you spam jumps instead of run for example), while other involve using everything to break the game entirely. Dark Souls for example has a ton of categories...

The unofficial census recorded the highest number of active players several weeks ago and the closer we get the more it's growing. And Yoshida confirmed it's the most subs they've ever had last live letter, even beating SB launch(which as a new expansion was the highest). The game's been...

There's a post on reddit that's topical, apparently some guy farmed ~1.5k Burial Chambers and didn't get a single HH card, ended up buying it with the currency he got from farming the maps instead. So the nerf on that is probably pretty heavy, but it's too "easy" I guess to chance it/get it via...

Yeah I mean obviously they can nerf HH, but I doubt they're nerfing HH mid league that's why I said I don't see what they can do specifically for that. They should nerf HH at the end of the league for sure though this shit's been going long enough, it looks stupid even, character isn't even on...

I'm not sure what's there's to nerf though, I guess they can cap how many mobs you kill per conflict but that kinda defeats the purpose. Issue is Headhunter is retarded and has been retarded for years now. It was kinda "ok" back when it was added and people moved slow as fuck and took 20secs to...

The saying "you never forget how to ride a bike". I mean yes I guess technically, but I sure forgot how to ride a bike well. Decided to buy a bike since I never got my driving license, lived in Paris since I was 18, so public transportation everywhere, having a car in Paris is pretty shit and...
