    Haven't gotten to level mine other than getting it to 62, read a lot of negative opinions on that theorycrafting discord thing. Looks kinda meh now? Damage is way lower especially aoe, like garbage tier aoe compared to WHM or even AST, but that's ok for raiding content and stuff, just annoying...

    It'll be pretty easy to carry next gear tier or something but yeah atm it's a rough roulette. I did it first time with like everyone being new and it went really well, we wiped like 3times at various stages to figure out stuff, first wipe being like 20secs in when everyone fell down and then...

    Oh was it, I haven't played HW much and early on it was like the end of 2.0, at the end of 2.0 it was pop PB, then pop all your cooldowns while you're building and refresh dots before the buffs drop. But now it feels it's just start fight with demolish > PB > snap punch > snap punch > dragon...

    70 Monk quest was actually harder than the 67, impressive stuff for a solo instance. It wasn't like really hard but I almost died a couple of times. Got the 70monk skill and as expected, it's partly shit. It's super RNG, sometimes you get a bunch of chakra, sometimes you don't get shit. In 4mans...

    Hmm maybe I missed something obvious but the 67 class quest for monk was actually really challenging. Not complaining it was pretty refreshing, but didn't expect to have to work for it that hard. The 70 one will probably be disapointing as a result, almost there.

    Yeah that was a few hours ago, it fixed itself soon after I posted I got my stuff done. Did a test on my AST, at 61 doing the 61 SB dungeon with rested and armory xp, FC buff and food buff, I got a bit over 1.8m xp from the run. That's pretty good, although without rested it wouldn't be as...

    It's down on EU too, can't enter a solo instance even though I'm on Omega and no one around(and it's 5AM). I think it might be a different issue this time though because it makes little sense to have issues at this hour on a low pop server. Oh well I had to do my beastmen daillies and hunting...

    I mean you can keep going with it if you like, pretty sure it still works past 60. But yeah it's boring as fuck, I only do a few runs on my alts then switch back to another char. You could technically level doing other stuff but potd is stupidly efficient for xp so hard to beat. I think it's...

    There's apparently a much worse issue with people getting disconnected on Susanoo at the end(and potentially in other places too) where you basically brick your char and can't log back in. They said it'll take a couple of days to fix too, so you're fucked until monday/tuesday if that hits. I'd...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Yeah seems they managed to kinda fix it. It's not perfect, lots of ppl DCing instead of getting in, but a lot of people got in too, I can actually see the NPC now, just need to manage to reconnect and shit. Edit: Reconnect after queue, DC while loading and requeue. Zzzz.

    Probably not as I said the xp curve is weird on these. Potd gives 400k+ even at lvl 40 which is ridiculous xp, but it doesn't increase all that much per level. Meanwhile Frontlines seem to give like 10-15% xp, which is a lot lower value at lower levels due to xp scaling, but gets better as you...
  12. Pyros

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Yeah it's new, it's very good xp at 60+ but not sure it's so good before that the scaling seems way different than potd. Supposedly only 180k or whatever at lvl 50, while it gives 600+k at 60. So potd is a lot better up to 60 it seems. Gonna go take a nap, can't do anything atm. Potd/frontlines...

    PvP overall seems a lot more fun. I did a couple frontlines on my monk and while the lag is fucking unbearable as a melee until they open server transfers, it was still pretty fun. Has few abilities but flows nicely, also the abilities are different enough from the pve stuff that it feels kinda...

    Honestly I'm slightly excited about pvp changes, they sound pretty interesting. Not having the usual 2 full bars+half a bar of hotkeys then adding 6more abilities and actually having to use the shit keybind abilities cause root/knockback/stun/whatever was good in pvp is really nice. Like...

    Yeah I still have a bunch of HW crafting/gathering quests to do. I was really disapointed with crafting back in 3.0 though so we'll see, not too sure how it was changed over time but if it's the same I'll just do leves to get them to 70 then forget about them, just need to be ready for 5.0 repairs.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    With the new expansion though it's almost guaranteed that just like HW, you'll be able to buy white gear for cheap with way higher ilvl once you reach 60, which lets you skip the whole gearing process and just do your shit. Original vanilla story is the same, the moment you hit 50 you can grab a...

    You could probably find a summary of the story though and not miss that much especially if you sit a couple of hours in the inn checking the various cutscenes and stuff. A large part of the MSQ is still "go talk to this fucker, now teleport somewhere and go talk to another fucker" and the...

    I mostly want it for glamour, my SCH is like i255 or whatever so it's good enough for leveling, although I've been second guessing myself on which class to take to 70 first, Monk or SCH. Monk would benefit from faster queues if I level it first, a bunch of DPS will be rolling the new classes...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Yeah hope that too, running dungeons repeatedly kinda sucks, it's not terrible xp but it's just really boring especially when it's in the middle of when the story gets good or whatever. The vault was a good example, story starts getting good in the cutscene after first clear, then you have to...

    What I'm hoping is for Primal to not be dead for hours. My server should be fine since I'm not on Gilgamesh but the entire datacenter fucking up would be annoying. I'll be transferring to the free EU server shit whenever that's available but since they said nothing I assume it won't be available...

    Metroid 2 remake looks pretty "action-y" compared to original metroids, has counters and stuff so not sure how it'll turn out, but looks nice enough. Guess they didn't forget about the Metroid aniversary but were just late as fuck. They announced Metroid Prime 4 on switch, although that's...

    The story will pick up wherever it stopped, that's pretty standard, so yeah Mor Dhona. Not that logging out in Mor Dhona would save you more than a few seconds anyway, shit's pretty pointless, it's like ppl asking where the RDM and SAM trainers will be so they can log out there, like, why...

    Haven't looked at the stats but I've seen a bunch of games where he basically doesn't do shit too, people ignore him kinda, kill 2-3people on his team, then turn and kill him by either CCing then hitting him from the front/silver edge/just fighting through quills especially ranged chars that can...

    Really? I thought I'd just buy the cheapest pack for beta access but when I saw the cool leather set thing I just bought the 60$ pack instead, looks great imo, unlike most of the set which are fucking shiny "look at me" kind of stuff. Matter of taste in the end I suppose. Only issue is I now...

    Whoever's doing camera work for Epicenter is pretty shit in general, misses a bunch of kills and what not. I'm not too sure who it is, if they're using the russian obs stream or whatever but yeah it's a lot sloppier than most usual tournaments.

    Yeah I think they might change the map draw distance on objects, it's A LOT easier finding stuff currently cause you see doors/objects way further than your actual vision. I don't think it's intended. Also shows secret passages in the labyrinth sometimes(seems to disapear when you get close...

    Bard/Machinist are usually fairly sought after for endgame, at least since HW, and I assume for SB. The utility they provide with group regen abilities is invaluable on the longer fights especially to recover from fuckups because when you rez, while getting your health back to full is easy...

    Honestly compared to HW rotations it doesn't really look much harder, it might require better planning ahead of your song rotation though cause you'll want to be in the right song for the right buff at the right time(or well try to). Interesting part is there's kinda 3 different "playstyle" for...

    Seems press NDA was lifted on the promo tour so bunch of articles being released. Hands-On With Final Fantasy XIV: Stormblood has a lot of the class changes detailed so a pretty good read if you're wondering about classes especially the ones they didn't talk about much during the live letter.

    Not really, they will open more housing with the expansion though(new area and I think more wards for existing? not sure) so you might find one then. Can also just rent an appartment in your FC house instead or whatever, I think they made them less shit at some point. Still can't get a garden...

    Changing healer damage to be mind based is really nice for QoL, cleric stance swapping wasn't hard but it was annoying especially if you have to switch in and out constantly.

    Big issue of Razor is how utterly dependant on static link he is. If you can't get a link to stick(like say if the other team has a bunch of force staff, and everyone does), he kinda does no damage. Double ult is nice but you need to be tanky as fuck for it to really kick in, and that with...

    Yeah I mean you said you'd need more but more probably wouldn't help doing 2mudras ninjutsus without clipping cause it'd reduced the GCD of normal skills also making it worse. Torrents and stuff, if you search for FFXIV you should find them they're not super rare. I don't know if there's a...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Wouldn't more skillspeed clip more, cause the gains on the low cd mudras would be lower than the gains on long basic GCDs especially with lag being applied twice? Anyway the double GCD stuff might be semi fixed with some of the changes they do to combat, need to see what's up. Ping is really a...

    Is there's such a large difference in ping for ppl in the US, especially people near the south of the US? I mean the servers were in canada before right? So like it wasn't really super close unless you lived in the north of the US. I guess the distance is larger from east coast to west coast...

    Na the promotion works here, it works in most of the big countries in central europe(UK france germany, forgot the rest).

    I don't have Amazon Prime though cause it's hot garbage over here.

No 20% discout...

    Oh and on the actual subject, I did like Raki in Vanguard, they were pretty fun. They weren't really furry as much as anime though. Looked like gnome furries or some shit, cutesy race, just looked kinda awkward, like they didn't belong to a race of adventurer and stuff. You see korean games have...
