Well same thing as I said really, it's kind of a non factor if you're geared and have tank stance(early leveling might be shit in that regard, until next expansion when they're moving tank stances earlier and shit). Having the WHM precast Medica II before pulls on raid fights isn't uncommon if...

Well they're just Hildibrand parents and I guess that's a way kinda to explain why Hildibrand survives Nashu's bomb and being thrown across several continents, plant face first into the ground then stay there for months and somehow is still alive. There's no real logic to it and I don't think...

Unleash has a threat modifier of 20x and is basically 1k+ potency(not counting Grit bonus), it shits on abyssal drain entirely for threat it's not even in the same category. It's worse for damage and generally if you're in Grit you're much better off spamming Abyssal Drain(and if you're not in...

If you get aggro in dungeons from regen, the tank is shit tbh. Like you will take initial aggro, and maybe take a hit, but more than that the tank's a pooper. It's very easy to catch mobs as they run past, or at the very least once they're next to the WHM(as long as he's not sprinting around...

Battle usually has more expensive mats, but gathers less of them so tend to lag behind. BTN/MIN make good money. FSH tends to suck but can be good the first few weeks of the expansion if you spam leve fishes. You level using 1hour specific item, and 18hours when you go to bed/can't use more...

It's better to level both early on, because you only have a few collectible nodes but they generally make them so they're not all at the same time, so you can do the mining one, then do the botanist one and alternate and not waste time like that. Once you unlock a fair amount of them(66 or so)...

The music goes all over the place in XIV but is also like way higher quality than pretty much any other mmos. I'll spoiler the whole thing to not shit up the thread too much

I don't get it, the video shows the same ED contagion gameplay, only at the end? The point of the video is to show the effect of the specific skill that's affected, so it makes sense it's not entirely ED contagion gameplay, and just ED, then just contagion. But each have a scene with both...

https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/news/detail/8732080bc8b074749a0264258fe2e18da8fd6962 Actual times. 2AM PDT, 9AM GMT, the "usual" maintenance time. Goes down 24hours before as usual for large patches.

You mean Omega? That was 4.0 though, you said you had primal gear on so that's also what I assumed. There's a bunch of dungeons between that and the first MSQ trial in 4.3. I quit in 4.0 too, think I had a bit higher ilvl(324?) probably cause more upgraded tome gear shit, but when I resubbed in...

You want to unlock the dungeons and do them for first time bonus, it's like 140mendacity per dungeon or something, then you buy belt/accs to pump that ilvl. You also can get upgrades from them, for example Hell's Lid and Fractal drop i325 stuff, a small upgrade, then you get to i330 with...

Just getting a Rakshasa weapon is a huge shortcut, and the weapon alone should be 200-300k, which is very affordable. The rest of the gear imo you can get via tomes pretty quick so keeping the ilvl up isn't that hard. And SB patches are like 2hours each or so, while watching cutscenes. It's...

Seems they're removing the FATE challenge logs with 5.0 so no need to bother prepping these. Bit weird since they said they still have FATEs, although less random ones and more story ones like the Azim Steppes FATEs. Maybe because they have their own rewards stuff, or because they boosted xp on...

Ah yes the original 4.0 stuff might be worth some scrips you're right. Worth doing if you want to get a leg up on that I guess, I kinda don't care much about gathering personally, I level it just because and for retainer ventures, but I rarely gather my own stuff, I just buy shit even if...

Pretty sure you get garbage scrips as soon as the patch turns in too, because they add new gathering collectibles that are 70 in the new zones(like they did in SB), and those give good scrips, while the old HW stuff gives like 10red scrips per turn in only. Mind you it's still 10 if you stack a...

This shit's for DNC/GNB, where you start at shit level and need to get to HoH level asap. Also the MSQ is always missing xp, so having side shit to do while you're queuing for your daily roulette's fine. It's 2:1 for expansion poetic conversion, 4:1 is in expansion conversion(like creation to...

This is a really weird game to pick when you're not fan of these lol.

Yeah it sucks the promotion is only for one char, although supposedly you can redeem more than one code(some guy said he got the mount on all his chars from the japanese promotion cause he eats at the chicken place that ran the promotion ever week). Need them to run that shit in EU though...

It's fairly RNG and not that common, supposedly. There was someone bitching on reddit about burning 45 fossils and only getting maim 3times, so yeah.

No preorders as I mentionned, probably because last time they had preorders so people would just preorder some shit, get a code and cancel the preorder.

I forgot, could you play without Cloud? I don't remember what my party setup was back in the days, I was still pretty young so I probably had Cloud and I'm sure I had Tifa, not sure for 3rd. Over the years I just do the girls band parties everytime I can, but can't get full girls in this so I...

Didn't see it posted but in case of, Amazon is running a promotional event in the US, buy 20$ worth of stuff(no preorders) and you get a Black Fat Chocobo for free with it. NA only for now. Presenting the FFXIV and Amazon.com® Free DLC Giveaway! | FINAL FANTASY XIV, The Lodestone

I mean sure, but also it's not like they get any more money from you preordering versus ordering the game at release. I do buy a bunch of games before they release for various reasons, but generally I don't bother until it's about to be released and I feel like playing it at the time. I'm not...

There's literally no reason to ever preorder something so far from its release. Arguably, there's no reason to preorder at all, unless the preorder comes with some bonuses you deem valuable enough(mmo early start stuff or beta access comes to mind). Just buy the game when it releases if it's...

Real game ads are always so weird. At least this one isn't too cringey. Also apparently Tom Holland actually plays the game, or so I read on Reddit.

I think they'll have a world map, it's not really hard to make one or anything, they can even stylize it in old school graphics or whatever so they don't have to design a realistic looking one. And not sure what the comment about them not caring about it for a long while means. FFXIII, which...

Oh yeah if you have the game registered you have everything, trial is just the limited up to 35 thing before you register(can't add friends, make party finder groups or send tells either with that). You should have access to retainers, assuming you're far enough in the MSQ. Go to one of the...

If you're on trial, you can't use retainers, which act as bank in this. Basically when you buy the game, you get access to retainers around lvl 17MSQ which let you both sell stuff on the market(which is why they're not available for trials, to prevent botters using trial accounts) and have...

Yeah but that doesn't matter really, just reds will be yellows but new master books will still be on yellows, white scrips will only be available later, like for the raid release or savage release I forgot which. But you can't have the new books costing like 400yellows and the SB books also...

The books are easy to get but they're older books and it's pointless for them to keep their high value when they're adding new books you have to get with the same scrips too. It makes perfect sense for them to reduce the old books no one cares about for easier catching up. Anyway crafting was...

Depends on how they do it. Hopefully they make it harder to gain quality via crafting, so the higher starting HQ becomes kinda necessary to keep the same difficulty. That said crafting hasn't been hard all of SB due to Prudent Touch specifically so I don't know how they'll go next expansion...

You could just use Flame Dash even with a shield.

You're meant to dodge the spears, the mobs have a fairly lengthy animation before they throw. The problem is they aggro offscreen and start charging, so if you flame dash/shield charge/quicksilver with high movespeed into them, they basically just shoot you right in the face. It's a bit like if...

Hmm so far not too much that was interesting, few bits here and there. Trust will only give about 1/4 of the loot of a standard dungeon to compensate since you're alone, unlike Squadrons. Seems fair especially if there's still the guaranteed loot at the end. Gatherers didn't get a whole lot of...

With the right affixes legion mobs will still one shot you even with 7k. They seem to one shot people with 8-9k EHP with a bunch of damage reduction, and since they do their "charge" animation offscreen, you basically just run into them as they fire their big shit and you die instantly. Won't...

OH you're right it's 2hours I read the time wrong.

Lol this time they started the test stream 1hour early for the live letter, so they don't run into the mess of last time. Seems to work fine too. Live letter in an hour.

There's a 2min uber elder cyclone kill, so scales perfectly fine. The main issue have been all the bugs associated to chanelling and cyclone specifically(too many actions shit). I think a bunch were fixed though.

It's a lot of spells overall. Quick count puts the number of lvl 50 spells at 20, not counting the ones you get as totems. Out of these, you can learn easily Tail Screw(can be learned on scorpions in fringes instead of the satasha hard boss, so that shit's really quick with someone else...

It isn't really much different than old wow(not sure how wow works nowadays). Damage=threat, tank stance=multiplier, some skills have their own multipliers(the ones that say additional threat, the threat combo, the ranged attack you get at lvl 15, the aoe threat move, all 3 tanks have all of...
