DPS and Tanks are easier to play in endgame content because you can always do the exact same thing and it'll work every single time. Meaning you can basically turn your brain off while playing them. For healers the spells you do always change depending on the situation and you have to adjust to everything your party does and be on your toes at all times. So to me healing is the hardest

Dps is easy on console if you organize your buttons in the exact order of your rotation so you can just press them sequentially
whole wasp
the only difference is that steam has steam wallet

❤️
whole wasp
thats about it
remote lintel
once you get it on steam youre locked to steam

thank you so much!

on the other hand, if your team is very good, healing can be as braindead as dps/tanking
remote lintel
^^^
whole wasp
but your rotation is not interesting either
remote lintel
i zone out healing savage
whole wasp
so its a spectrum
leaden ginkgo
Biggest issue is when you get into a lower level duty and you lose all the cool moves and need to use an old rotation

yea those kinda suck but those are opt-in

On BLM I just turn my brain off and spam Fire 4. On Warrior I just pop the same cooldowns, place the boss in the same place etc. There's like no thinking involved. If you die it's because you did something different or because your healers didn't heal you
remote lintel

use the exp boost if you can

sadly that means I have to wait irl 5 hours for the next window of greens

i remember i had a rare fish where the next window is weeks away and i just didnt bother with big fishing anymore
median locust
just looking at the tracker now, I see the Ruby Dragon with only 6 windows in the next month
and only up for 11 minutes at a time, so if you're at work or sleeping during that, tough luck
strange coral
I vaguely remember hearing a long time ago that fishing retainers' quick ventures have a higher chance of bring back rarer items, compared to botanist or miner. Is there any truth to this?
median locust
They're rarer because fisher retainers aren't as useful so less people have them. So in that sense, sure?
strange coral
Both of mine are fisher just because that's the gatherer I leveled first, but I'm considering changing them to botanist and miner for consistent rewards. Currently their quick ventures mostly bring back blue or green gear that gets desynthed or traded for GC seals. I've gotten some super valuable stuff, but that's like once every couple of months.

So I'm trying to upgrade my gear from neo ish to aug crys. I don't have enough for pants (won't until next week because cap) but I have enough for the gloves. Should I save up for the pants or get the gloves now?
little swift
Pants are a bigger upgrade compared to gloves
Smugs got the big brain solution here
plain python
pantless for a week
little swift
Depending on how.much allegory you've got totaled that would be a great approach
gritty oracle
well more like pantless for two weeks because the gloves will pretty much zero my allegory and I'm about to hit weekly cap.
little swift
Save for pants then
gritty oracle
mhm, thanks!

Even if you're doing savage bigger upgrades can help more on defensive padding
Though accessories are super nice for stats

glossy flare
well, that is nice
whole wasp
smn quest will be fully done and unlcoked but sch will not be
glossy flare
not that I have interest in either job right now but hey, mystery solved 😄
median locust
Doesn't include gear for SCH, nor does it complete your SCH job quests. But at least your SCH is 70.
glossy flare
i mean, personally I think boosts are dumb because you miss out on all that class gear for style purposes
but I was curious
remote lintel
no you don't
median locust
you can still go back and get it
glossy flare
oh really? how?
remote lintel
you get it from calamity salvager or hunts
median locust
it's not exclusive to the job quests

Ok just did my first tank duty. I don't get the fuss behind learning how to tank. Isn't it just aggro a decent amount of enemies , position the boss correctly to face away from party then just do your rotation
Am i missing something .
faint flare
Use defensive cooldowns
leaden ginkgo
Yea thats part of my rotation
I'm just wondering because I was watching some multi part vid of how to tank and theres tons of written stuff on how to tank but i really don't see why its so extensive
grizzled mural
I hit 80 how do I do Unsyncd trials now
remote lintel
because some tanks dont pay attention to other party memebers
such as which job aoes to stand in
which direction to face which boss
crude marten
Ever had lore-breaking scenes where characters should be incapacitated and they come running in a scene because they're part of it? hahahaha
untold sand
how to bind macros to a key?
remote lintel
when to tank the boss in the middle and when to pull them north
@untold sand click and drag the macro to your hotbar
leaden ginkgo
Hmm but why is putting them north different from the middle
remote lintel
@grizzled mural click the cog at the top of duty finder and check undersized party
because some fights have mechanics in the middle
sometimes you need to move the boss
faint flare
Where you tank it depends on what the boss does and whatever forced movements it does
remote lintel
^
remote lintel
thats a meld slot
faint flare
Like if a boss jumps middle and faces south, you can pre emptively position it so it doesn't turn alot and lose melee positionals
leaden ginkgo
Ok guess I'll watch vids of how to specifically tank certain bosses
remote lintel
also tanks tend to pull enemies out of a party member's aoe
because they dont know better
leaden ginkgo
One thing i did notice was a party member would draw aggro of one enemy chasing them while ive aggroed 4 other enemies so i try to hit the one chasing them
remote lintel
use ranged or provoke
faint flare
If others aggro stuff they should bring it to you
To avoid distrupting pack positioning
leaden ginkgo
It was on cool down so i assumed hitting it would draw it. But good to know
Ok how about when im at a boss and they produce adds. Do i just focus the boss or try to draw some adds
Too
remote lintel
if youre the only tank you need to aggro them
faint flare
Depends on boss but try to get the adds
whole wasp
Stay on the boss ranged the adds/provoke them if you can.
faint flare
Range hit them or preposition for the add spawn
whole wasp
If you have to move,you have to move
leaden ginkgo
Range hit ?
remote lintel
your range attack

Ruby Weapon EX is harder as its recent, Ultima EX is kind of a joke now

Sprint counts as a spell for that agro for some reason.

there are MSQ fights that are harder than Ultima EX (even synced)
whole wasp
Ans people say they vercure to proc dualcast
median locust
there are not

Just sprint 4head
vivid thorn
not even Shinryu or SoS?
median locust
no
faint flare
Unless you get knocked off the edge of the arena, but that doesn't wipe you
vivid thorn
I messed up both insta-kills vs Shinryu
faint flare
Only insta kill in Shinyru is failing the active time manuver, and i guess being knocked off by Tidal wave

either way, I swear it's like the 50th time you bring up MSQ difficulty in here so I'm not gonna be taking the bait

plain python
is there any point for using Energy Siphon aside from it is a weak AoE?
faint flare
You use it at +3 mobs
unreal cipher
is there any point for using Energy Siphon aside from it is a weak AoE?
@plain python i was wondering the same, the damage seems low and it isnt like it generates more aether flow than the other arcanist spell. Im new to the game so maybe I am understimating the damage values
faint flare
Its the aoe version of energy drain
You use it when theres 3 or more mobs
Aoes deal ots potency to every mob hit
median locust
It's low but it hits many targets so it ends up being more damage than Energy Drain when used again 3+ mobs
plain python
3 monsters+ = 120+ potency
tidal osprey
how does base clase exp work?
faint flare
So hitting 3 mobs is skill potency X mobs hit
tidal osprey
if i join duty as rogue do i get exp for nin?
unreal cipher
That makes sense
faint flare
Hitting 3 mobs makes it more than energy drains 100 pot
wintry chasm
remote lintel
energy siphon is just the aoe energy drain
unreal cipher
But on a dungeon, won't that generates more aggro towards you?
remote lintel
not enough
faint flare
It literally doesn't matter
median locust
Energy Drain -> 100 potency * 1 mob = 100 potency
Energy Siphon -> 40 potency * 3 mobs = 120 potency
faint flare
Aggro is a non issue
median locust
Tanks generate too much aggro for DPS to even hope to take it
As long as you're not attacking while the tank is running with mobs to the next pack
but tanks shouldn't be doing that if they know anything about tanking so
at that point it's the tank's fault
oh for that, one is fine
if they complain because they take aggro, it's their problem
should still take the mobs though of course, I don't condone griefing

There was a point in the first main scenario dungeon where someone said "SMN, Limit break. Use it or lose it." so I used it because I am summoner. I thought Melee DPS were supposed to use limit break or healers?
faint flare
Melees use it on the bows
median locust
Limit Break should be used by melee DPS on the last boss, or on big trash backs for casters
faint flare
Casters and Range use it on big trash pulls
median locust
If there's no melee, casters can use it on bosses
leaden ginkgo
Like this?
median locust
Better than no LB at all
faint flare
Casters and range can use it to pull bosses as some bosses reset LB
Especially in castrum/praetorium
You usually have LB when you hit Nero
And pulling Nero resets LB
calm phoenix
I know healers do not use it for damage. LB3 raises everybody
faint flare
So ranged/casters use it for free damage
median locust
If the boss is at 5% and the melee isn't using the LB, you can use it too
faint flare
You only need to preserve Healer LB3 in higher end content
median locust
at that point it's their fault if they aren't using it lol

remote lintel
dungeons are long encounters with trash mobs and a few mini bosses and a ifnal boss
halcyon glen
usually
remote lintel
raids are just 1 hard boss
halcyon glen
also lmao turn 3
jade bear
turn 3?\
faint flare
A raid
remote lintel
hes talking about a really hard raid
vital ruin
Does party finder take long
I'm queuing as healer still no one's joining
halcyon glen
(except T3 isn't hard but like the rest of the ones in that set are)
halcyon glen
It takes as long as you find people willing to do it
What did you put as the PF info?
vital ruin
U mean objective?
remote lintel
whats your level
halcyon glen
And the description
vital ruin
56
halcyon glen
Well yeah that's...
jade bear
Is it supposed to take this long..?
halcyon glen
yes
remote lintel
yes
vital ruin
I didnt write anything
remote lintel
dps queues are about 20 mins
halcyon glen
Ah, there's your issue @vital ruin
halcyon glen
Say something like "Looking for an unsynced carry to complete a quest!"
median locust
Write something like "unsync for quest, bonus"
halcyon glen
Mention bonus if you want yep
jade bear
How do you do that..?
vital ruin
not gonna write carry :/
remote lintel
theyre not talking to you lux
vital ruin
What's the bonus
vital ruin
o
remote lintel
well youre going ot be carried tahmeed
whether oyu like it or not
since its unsync
median locust
I mean you're going to get carried if you're doing it unsynced. Level 80's will come and nuke the boss for you
vital ruin
halcyon glen
yeah your level 56 ass ain't doing anything meaningful to Ultima
vital ruin
Do I write in comment
remote lintel
yes
vital ruin
I mean I can heal :/
halcyon glen
Not really
median locust
Healing isn't necessary
remote lintel
lvl 80s dont need healing
polar cairn
are puppets coins farmable ?
vital ruin
o
remote lintel
the boss wont even dent them
median locust
The boss hits like a wet noodle for level 80's
@polar cairn 1 per week
Resets on Tuesday morning
jade bear
Theres like no one joining tho
remote lintel
and make sure you set your duty finder to undersized party
@jade bear you need to wait
dps queues are like 20 minutes long
halcyon glen
For one, whoever's carrying you won't need healing. For another, your 300hp heals aren't going to make a dent in your carrier's 100k HP
vital ruin
What does undersized party mean
median locust
@jade bear There are more DPS willing to do dungeons than there are tanks and healers. So you have to wait your turn in queue.
remote lintel
it means unsync
vital ruin
o
halcyon glen
Alternitively, jsut ignore that quest
median locust
^
halcyon glen
It doesn't gate progression
remote lintel
yeah theres no point doing it
halcyon glen
and you can always solo it once you're 80
faint flare
And doesn't even offer anything good
vital ruin
But the ballad gets to praise me :/
I'd like some praise
halcyon glen
oh yeah also there's no reward
remote lintel
the ballad will praise the lvl 80 
median locust
Gives you some cool looking accessories, that's about it
vital ruin
They'll never know I got carried
median locust

thats ugly

He always knows
vital ruin
Whoaa
median locust
This is the biggest reward you'll get from this
vital ruin
I needs dat shii
abstract harbor
time to watch netflix 
remote lintel
7 min is fast
abstract harbor
great-
remote lintel
if its actually 7 mins
proud willow
You mean 7 min is a lie
remote lintel
and not like 45
proud willow
(sometimes)
jade bear
Im stiuck with 11
remote lintel
11 is also fast
jade bear
Doesnt feel fast
abstract harbor
That slightly discourages me from playing :^)
halcyon glen
There's lots of things you can do in the meantime though!
vital ruin
Okay so I wrote " unsync for quest, bonus"
remote lintel
did you check undersized party in DF
vital ruin
Whoa someone joined
halcyon glen
Well say hi in party chat and ask if they want to wait for anyone else or just go.
jade bear
And this is the same day I switch from CNJ to ACN
halcyon glen
On the bright side, ACN can become a healer later
vital ruin
Told
jade bear
Im not sure if I can keep up with healing
If there's a lot of people
vital ruin
And yep a lv 80 I'ma get carried so hard
remote lintel
you definitely can
a good healer can probably solo heal an 8 man fight
depending on the fight
jade bear
Aaaaaaaaa its starting
remote lintel
select the thing in duty finder
abstract harbor
wait time went up to 8 mins
remote lintel
then queue
vital ruin
Ooh did it
halcyon glen
That should also give you no queue time if it worked
abstract harbor
if i do understized party it just tries to make me solo it ?
median locust
yeah undersized is if you just wanna do it alone
abstract harbor
ah
proud willow
if you are not currently in a party and you hit Undersized Party, it will put you in solo
median locust
But you need to be higher level to solo it
proud willow
you also won't get XP
halcyon glen
Alternatively, go accomplish something else!
frail sapphire
what's the fastest way to get to the glamour dresser? Tp to Limsa then aethernetwork to the aftcastle?
median locust
It's the theme from the Twinning dungeon
abstract harbor
@halcyon glen Such as? I'm just trying to get through the story missions rn
halcyon glen
I'm fond of the Gridania inn but that works fine @frail sapphire. afaik it's about even timewise for all three inns
remote lintel
@abstract harbor crafting, gathering, fates
frail sapphire
i have to go to the inn everytime i want to put someting into the glamour dresser?
remote lintel
yes
halcyon glen
yes
frail sapphire
i see
halcyon glen
@abstract harbor FATEs, random sidequests, gathering, etc.
For example, you could go unlock the Gold Saucer
abstract harbor
What's that?
vital ruin
Bruh
halcyon glen
It's a happy fun casino-like area except you literally always win
kind acorn
Hi guys. I just got the game and have no idea what I'm doing 😅 I was wanting to know if you guys could give me tips on which server to pick? I know you can actively travel between the ones in your data center so idk if it matters that much which one I choose
halcyon glen
it's a fun level 15 sidequest in Ul'dah
halcyon glen
yeah level 80 kinda stronk
remote lintel
@kind acorn if you plan on seriously raiding in endgame dont do crystal
abstract harbor
can i do it whilst queieing for Sastasha?
halcyon glen
Yep!
remote lintel
yes
halcyon glen
You don;t need to just stand there
abstract harbor
do you know the quest name?
remote lintel
it could happen to you
halcyon glen
It Could Happen to You!
abstract harbor
okie thank u
vital ruin
Holy shit
I need to be 80 too
kind acorn
Well I chose crystal because that's the one my friend is on and I wanted to play with him
vital ruin
That shit was broken holy
remote lintel
because its a lvl 50 duty
halcyon glen
in that case pick the server he's on @kind acorn
vital ruin
o I c now
remote lintel
and thats why nobody does it synced
latent prism
why do I notice subtle differences when using gshade vs stormshade on the same presets?
remote lintel
gshade is reshade
halcyon glen
Well ya still got the quest done
remote lintel
pretty sure its a random drop
vital ruin
No necklace
halcyon glen
Once you're 80 you can farm necklaces to your heart's content cause it's a random drop
median locust
yeah it's accessories at random
vital ruin
Damn u RNGesus
halcyon glen
Not that the ring isn't cool
vital ruin
So tiny I can't even see
kind acorn
Yeah I guess. I was just wondering if some servers are objectively better than others. I tried looking up some stuff online but most of what I found was pretty dated
remote lintel
no
halcyon glen
Nope!
leaden ginkgo
can someone explain flying for me for heavensward? i attuned into a few aether currents...do i have to attune into all of them in an area to fly?
leaden ginkgo
😭 thats so much work aaaaa
remote lintel
get to it
leaden ginkgo
😭 ok
tidal yarrow
how do you get Altar girl title?
opal shoal
It's a fun way to explore the map but don't stress it as you won't be able to fly in a zone until certain points in the MSQ anyway
Fun being gathering currents I mean
remote lintel
@tidal yarrow stormblood treasure hunts
tidal yarrow
oki thx
remote lintel
specifically the dungeons
median locust
@tidal yarrow Raid the Shifting Altars of Uznair, which is one of the two random dungeons you can get with Gazelleskin Treasure maps. Need around 3-4 people to do it.
median locust
end duty?
south basin
Hey guys, I just started playing ff14 3 days ago and switched at lvl 20 from lancer to rogue...my main story quest is at a higher lvl then my rogue and between the guild chest are always like 2 level I dont really know how to efficiently "grind"...what am I supposed to do?
remote lintel
hunt logs, fates, challenge log
dungeon when you get to it
@tidal yarrow the only thing i can think of like that are the tank mounts
tidal yarrow
no worries maybe it's not even a thing
south basin
i wasnt sure about being able to fate bc im missing any mount but I will try the hunt logs thanks
median locust
Yeah you're gonna have to be more descriptive
tidal yarrow
someone mentioned it once
remote lintel
you can do fates as long as you run fast enough
halcyon glen
@south basin Start with your Rogue Hunting Logs
median locust
there's a lot of high end duties, and no level 75 ones
abstract harbor
@halcyon glen So what should i be doing now that i have the casino xD
kind acorn
Is it true that Crystal is focused a lot on rp? I'm not really interested in that but I keep seeing people say that.
remote lintel
@median locust i think they mean completing 75 high end
median locust
what does 75 high end mean lol
halcyon glen
Run through the other quests in that area for now
tidal yarrow
yes^
halcyon glen
You're killing time until your queue pops, remember?
abstract harbor
yeah,
south basin
@halcyon glen thanks 🙂
remote lintel
@tidal yarrow tanks have mounts they get for completing a certain number oof high end duties
oof
ok
remote lintel
ur fine
jade bear
I got like... 5... 6 levels from that? 0_0
remote lintel
yes
halcyon glen
sounds about right
And your next two quests are two more dungeons!
err, well
two of your next four 😛
cerulean grove
best chocobo stance for pala and WHM?
halcyon glen
Healer and Free
open coral
Because if the chocobo is healing you, you can do more dps
cerulean grove
i see
median locust
and the tank one doesn't hold aggro so what's the point lol
open coral
Also Choco Regen and Choco Cure are pretty strong.
Also yes, the tank stance is shit at holding aggro, even maxed out.
simple bolt
It stacks with your own regen too i think
open coral
It does indeed
cerulean grove
Which skills to level on healer choco and how much?
open coral
At least up to rank 5 with healer tree
You have to choose them sequentially.
Keep in mind that while you can initially only go up to rank 10 with your chocobo (getting an amount of points to invest equivalent to that rank), you can later use Thavnairian Onions to further raise the rank cap for your choco to 20 and fill out all three trees.
open coral
I play on a 36" TV...
cerulean grove
ok thanks!
open coral
No?
remote lintel
the game supports ultra wide
open coral
Yeah
static yacht
@kind acorn yes
shrewd relic
omg
open coral
But... 43 foot?
shrewd relic
game changer
open coral
Really?
shrewd relic
static yacht
@kind acorn crystal tends to be more casual than primal / aether
slate arrow
It does support ultrawide in regular gameplay
remote lintel
43 inch
slate arrow
Cutscenes will automatically crop to 16:9 though
open coral
You should be able to adjust your monitor settings if you're having trouble.
shrewd relic
never had an ultrawide before tho so if some games dont support it itll have cropped sides huh
remote lintel
most games should do fine
slate arrow
It's only the weird console ports you'll have to worry about like Horizon Zero Dawn
shrewd relic
ahh okay this is awesome news 😄
okay weird other question sorry
does anyone use fancy zones, or display fusion?
like to game + do something on the other side of the screen
zinc orbitBOT
shrewd relic
i tried using fancy zones with ffxiv to make it take 75% of the screen & 25% of the other screen i used for browsing
but it messed up with my resolution afterwards which i had to fix
but now my browsers all laggy
median locust
Might be a good idea to ask in #technology-discussion if you don't get an answer here
remote lintel
sounds like ff14 and your broswer were diff resolutions
shrewd relic
resolution on ff14 changed from 1920 x 1080 to like 1408 x 869
like some weird number
and was having fps drops, but when i changed the rez back it fixed it of course
remote lintel
because you made it 75% of your screen
shrewd relic
but idk how to do the same thing for my browser
vivid thorn
If I use trusts, which characters would you recommend based on your type of class?
open coral
Yeah, #technology-discussion might have some answers for you.
shrewd relic
yeah sorry, thanks guys
open coral
@vivid thorn Just pick whoever you want as long as you end up with 1 tank, 1 healer, 2 dps.
It won't let you do otherwise.
remote lintel
@vivid thorn if youre using ||thancred|| you should also use ||ryne|| so he can do his magical abilities
open coral
^
remote lintel
without her he cant do it
halcyon glen
That latter one is ||Minfilia|| to you
timid silo
if i can equip only 1 scaeven ring, where should i get the second ring with same ilv?
open coral
You can't.
static yacht
can't
faint flare
Crafted ring
open coral
There's one of similar ilevel that you can get crafted off the MB
But you can't get the exact same ilevel
static yacht
technically you could do savage O9S but that's a lot of work for something you'll out level in like a day
edited for correct savage
open coral
Yeah, not worth
timid silo
ah okay thank you!
open coral
Better to just continue with the MSQ and pick up either a ring from the MSQ or the ring from the first dungeon at level 71
proper lichen
I've gone and dun confused myself. Reading through the wiki, it says the dark knight quests start at level 30, but unlock at level 50? Also, can gladiators become dark knights, because I'm looking that gladiators can become paladins, but it doesn't say anything else.
remote lintel
you unlock it at 50 when you get to ishgard
then when you switch to it you will be lvl 30
expansion jobs dont have class requirements
proper lichen
So I can start the quest at level 50 on my main job?
remote lintel
yes then when you change to dark knight youll be lvl 30
proper lichen
I see.
I'm on free trial though, so would that mean when I switch I'll only be able to gain 10 levels, or is it 60 levels in one job?
proper lichen
I see, thank you.
remote lintel
note that you'll have to level it to 50 to continue the main story as a dark knight, since your main story quest will be lvl 50
proper lichen
So, once I unlock dark knight at 30, grind another 20 levels before I start the first job quest?
dusty terrace
does free trial and full game have different files? Or could I let's say, copy the game folder from somebody who has full game and shove-in the free trial launcher and play this way?
remote lintel
@proper lichen your job quests will start from lvl 30
proper lichen
Oh, I see. Just the main quests.
remote lintel
@dusty terrace pretty sure its the same files
calm phoenix
How TF do you control a flying amount?? I cannot get anywhere because Bennu just keeps landing when I use the left analog stick! My brother-in-law makes it look so easy but I cannot control a flying mount to save my life! Please help!!
remote lintel
thats correct anon
proper lichen
Right, thank you.
remote lintel
@calm phoenix pressing forward on the left stick makes the mount go in the direction you are facing
proper lichen
Oof. Console guys have it hard.
remote lintel
if youre facing the ground it will fly to the ground
wise dock
Space goes up Shift space goes down. Z imediately goes down.
dusty terrace
Well, the real issue here is my friend who has shitty internet, which combined with SE's potato launcher makes him constantly drop download, so I wondered if it was possible to download from somewhere else, and play free trial off it
remote lintel
@wise dock hes on controller
wise dock
Oh/
calm phoenix
@calm phoenix pressing forward on the left stick makes the mount go in the direction you are facing
@remote lintel No it does NOT! it makes him go up and down opposite of the analog stick 😦
proper lichen
@dusty terrace You mean the timer disappears?
remote lintel
@dusty terrace you should be able to copy the game files from one source to another, though i havent tried it with the free trial version
dusty terrace
no, he gets connection error and the launcher closes. Had this happen to me few times during download too @proper lichen
calm phoenix
So all I am going to get is a false answer and when I said that was NOT the case, absolutely no response after 😦
proper lichen
Oh dang.
proper lichen
I guess copy the files then and try to see what happens?
remote lintel
turn the camera using right stick and press forward
dusty terrace
I don't play on controller, but maybe there is a way to reverse the Y axis when using mount
proper lichen
Free trial is tied to you account, not the files.
calm phoenix
Then there is something wrong with my game because Bennu goes up and down with the left analog stick
remote lintel
what direction are you facing
dusty terrace
The issue is that my friend lives 500km away from me
calm phoenix
Bennu's back towards me
proper lichen
Yeah, that is an issue.
dusty terrace
and downloading wrong version of the game means he will waste 3-4 days just downloading files
proper lichen
Well, there is really only one version of the game on one device.
remote lintel
are you on legacy controls or standard @calm phoenix
calm phoenix
legacy
proper lichen
If you can run the game and play it, letting him copy your files would also let him play it.
Is he using Wi-fi?
dusty terrace
If I could confirm you can login as free trial to full version files, it would be great, but I'm free trial myself so...
Yes, and it's impossible for him to use a cable
proper lichen
Can I dm you?
dusty terrace
sure
remote lintel
if your camera is tilted towards the ground at all then the mount will fly sloping downard
your camera needs to be horizontal
calm phoenix
I do not. It is straight ahead
remote lintel
i dont understand what you mean by he moves "up and down" when you just push forward
calm phoenix
altitude
vivid thorn
would some combinations depend on me going into a trust as a ranged/caster DPS or as a healer?
calm phoenix
forward he dives down, backwards, he dives up
vivid thorn
I may want to go in as a scholar, summoner or even dancer if that's better for trusts
remote lintel
move your right stick to turn the camera up and push forward
faint flare
It doesn't matter
vivid thorn
trusts may save my dungeon butt, just that I need to use them properly
sure they're quite a bit longer than with human players
faint flare
By design
