Yeah PS5 then. Was thinking of using that budget on a good pc instead
worthy rain
ps5 costs to built more than a 1000 pc I think
And a 4k true hdr tv, like OLED CX, is better than a monitor
robust crow
for $400 you're unlikely to be able to build a pc that can beat a ps5
swift parcel
@faint flare sorry! guess i just missed the resource tab. ill explore and checkout what you linked. Thank you
lilac ingot
Or "decent" depending on standard of "good"
robust crow
because no one does a $400 budget for building a PC anyway
lilac ingot
PC is new to me honestly. Know little about it gaming wise except how everyone says it's better

Do you use monitor or tv?
And also, your budget
robust crow
but for double the price it's supposed to stomp the ps5
the only question here is whether or not you can afford a pc
but this is moving into #technology-discussion territory

so I'm getting some Fine Wax from Haukke Manor, and I'm wondering, if I get the item from the treasure chest, can I then immediately cancel the duty, but still keep the Fine Wax?

yes
worthy rain
But pc lacks so many games still, there are more incomig of course, but ps5 and a 4k true hdr tv, is the best imo

i suggest you double check your benchmarks because it's notably weaker than a 2080 super, and why aren't you doing comparisons using 30xx cards?

this is just plain wrong
pc does NOT "lack games" lol
worthy rain
Ps5, if you can play the pc exclusives like half life, or the 2 TW (not high settings)
Go for ps5 with your 4k tv
robust crow
they are completely separate markets
twilit arch
Its also irrelevant for this channel
worthy rain
But anyway, off topic
swift parcel
im saying a ps5 is high value gaming for its price point and what it does which is gaming. a pc for $800 will do more for you overall but lets not diminish what a ps5 gets you for $500 performance

Partitions exist

but those are huge right? i basically need something the size of a loft
leaden ginkgo
Is there a good video or something to read for players new to the game? I am still lacking a greater understanding of what's going on. So far it's been do story quests to progress level, do class quests for more skills. I'm level 37 and maybe I'm somewhat a bit through the game. Feeling a bit overhwelmed with everything going on and don't know how to proceed.

manic flare
what is the hardest dungeon in stormblood?
marble drift
leveling wise? bardamms mettle is rough on tanks but overall kinda easy
simple shore
Bardem's Mettle probably
little swift
From a mechanics perspective the burn confuses new players a lot too
marble drift
mechanics its nothing to write home about but it packs a whallop
marble drift
people don't understand fog dragon
little swift
Last boss has a mechanic they've never encountered before
open ember
The Burn and Bardam's Mettle are probably the most confusing
simple shore
The Burn is really only bad if you :
A. Don't know how to find the dragon
B. Get unlucky
manic flare
is there a boss in the burn similar to the 2nd boss in bardam?
little swift
The 2nd boss of bardams is literally the Gate " the slice is right"
Its a mechanics test and thats all
simple shore
Anyway, Bardems is hard specifically because its a gigantic jump upwards in damage taken on tanks, and its about the point where their Shire tomestone gear goes from being overkill to insufficient. So you have alot of tanks getting just absolutely dunked on in there.
robust crow
it's really only the first segment of trash tbh
the very first multi-pull in bardam's is very rough
but if your tank is savvy and invulns it, it's not too bad
simple shore
Eh, the second pull in the second section, and the weird mecha-things at the end, also hurt pretty badly.
faint flare
Its more the zu that hurts
marble drift
but if your invuln is "don't die from lethal damage" rather than "am invulnerable"
then pug healers tend to panic.
simple shore
I usually save my invuln for that pull before the second boss
robust crow
i healed it numerous times recently while leveling astro
i don't recall any trash pack besides the first one giving me trouble
red apex
If I d/led and playing the game on steam can I use the shop on the SE site?
robust crow
yes
red apex
I tried buying a phial of phantasia but it won’t let me
robust crow
if you use steam, your only restriction is that you have to play on steam always
red apex
It’s giving me an error about not being registered
raven sage
Are you a trial player?
red apex
Yes
faint flare
You need to own the game
red apex
For the phantasia?
robust crow
yes
faint flare
For majority of items on Mogstation
robust crow
mogstation purchases require owning the game
robust crow
although they mentioned lifting that restriction soon
red apex
So i figured it would work
They should, they’ll make tons more money
The free trial is amazing. You can go a long ways with it before needing to spend money on the full game
So I wanted to at least try to support them with the shop
robust crow
FYI you get a free fantasia at the end of the ARR story
red apex
Oh yeah I understand that but since I’m still only luv 28 i wanted to enjoy how i look lol
And support them
hard quail
Does anyone have experience with dynamic UIs using macros? I just unretired and been thinking about using Layout 1 for tanking, Layout 2 for healing etc so wondering if anyone has tried it and had pros/cons about it. The information (DoT timers, CDs, party health) being in all different centers is inefficient to track for me ATM
kind eagle
What item made you teleport to ur friend?
robust crow
didn't they remove the actual item but built its feature into the friend list

red apex
Do all the chocobo mounts look the same?
little swift
30mun cd
kind eagle
cause i read something like u can teleport to a friend
without teleporting the normal way
red apex
Or are they different depending on the GC you join
robust crow
Do all the chocobo mounts look the same?
there's a distinction to be made here
there's your actual chocobo, who can be given barding (armor/clothing) and have its feather color changed
red apex
I wish i had the fat choco
robust crow
there's a few other separate chocobos like the 2 seater wedding chocobo and the fat chocobo that are different mounts entirely
red apex
Ohh okay
raven sage
Do all the chocobo mounts look the same?
The chocobo itself is the same, they have company specific barding though

more than enough for your story dungeons up until halfway through heavensward

south portal
I am thinking of using my Fantasia, is there a way to mess with the character creator tool before actually using it so I can plan out a character?
marble drift
yep
make a new character
then save that appearance.
when editing your character via fantasia you can just apply your saved creation
robust crow
you can also retainer fantasia one of your retainers to see what they'd look like with gear on

there is an option in your keybinds for "target nearest enemy"
south portal
Thanks! @robust crow @marble drift
full trail
there is an option in your keybinds for "target nearest enemy"
I'm in character configuration under target
robust crow
can you not set button X to target nearest enemy on gamepad?
full trail
Idk, it already targets closest enemy when I click x near monster
But if theres an. Npc by it it often chooses the npc instead of the monster
open coral
X by default (on controller) will automatically target the nearest friendly NPC.
zinc orbitBOT
full trail
Oh
open coral
The only exception to this is if a hostile enemy has caused you to "soft target" it by engaging you in combat.
full trail
How do I change it so it doesn't target friendly npc at all
open coral
You can change it in the settings.

By default your left/right dpad doesn't target allies when weapon drawb
In target filters
open coral

full trail
I often target monsters before I even pull my weapon
Actually my weapon draws automatically
open coral
Yes, that's when a hostile target engages with you, most likely.
faint flare
I bound that for ease
open coral
In general I would advise against unbinding the friendly NPC target from X, since it makes life a LOT easier when there are a lot of players around the quest NPC.
I see a lot of kbm players complaining about not being able to click on NPCs when there are too many people around.
little swift
Use 0 on numpad for that
full trail
I think the issue will be solved if i can change my weapon to manual sheath instead of auto
open coral
There's a setting for that too.
full trail
System config?
Hmm I'm not finding it
Found it :)
So now if I pull my weapon before battle. When I hit x it should target nearest enemy instead of an npc next to it like in a fate for example?
open coral
Yeah, I knew it was in there because I've seen it, I just can't really log in to the game and check things right now. 😄
I'm not sure because I don't know which settings you changed.
full trail
I set everything back to default then changed the auto sheath setting
Hmm still letting me target friendlies with staff out
This is odd :(
open coral
Oh, yeah, because it's an "in combat" setting that stops you from targeting friendly NPCs

iirc there's a macro command for "target of target" and I think it's <tt>, but I haven't used that particular tag, so I'm not positive.
You'd write the macro as
/ac (action name) <tt>
open coral
You'd also have to write a macro for every spell you wanted to cast that way.
wild fox
There's like, 15-20 people in Eureka on my server at peak hours at most ._.
hard quail
Thanks -Yea I was curious about a non-macro option. I'll deal with it, assist button helps negate some of the annoyance
little swift
15 to 20 is still plenty to force nms
Consider checking other parts of eureka not necessarily hydatos or wherever
wild fox
When no one is running trackers and parties, it makes it difficult unfortunately.

you may enjoy red mage at 50
every other spell is instant cast, and they have a melee combo
summoner to a lesser extent, a ton of their spells are instant cast so they can move quite freely
black mage is pretty much our only "true" traditional casting DPS class
but also you can be every class in the game at the same time so just go nuts and try things
long quiver
Yeah, I saw the red mage and thought it was pretty interesting.
timid geyser
yeah, red mage sounds like the best choice

Even above the archer? I played an archer class for both GW2 and WoW for years.

Transpose first if you don't have fire 3 and blizzard 3
scarlet arrow
you should be using Transpose to switch from astral fire to umbral ice
little swift
You don't want to lose your astral fire or umbral ice buff
scarlet arrow

Thats the crux of the gameplay

you need to be in astral fire or umbral ice

Do you run any shaders or anything? consider removing those and see if the game will run after a PC restart.

the ffxiv executable?
robust magnet
Go to your program directory, usually Program Files (x86), then to SquareEnix, Final Fantasy XIV - A Realm Reborn, game and look for a file called ffxiv_dx11.exe. If it doesnt exist then get a friend to copy it and send it to you. It got deleted somehow.
hallow marsh
I have ffxiv on a SSD drive not my main C drive, should I put it there?
rich stream
i have a ffxiv exe. not the °dx11.exe tho

yep sounds like your antivirus ate it
Sounds like you'll have to reinstall the launcher
And also disable the antivirus
robust magnet
I have all my games installed on an SSD, and not my main drive.
No issues.
rich stream
just the launcher, or the entire game?
slate arrow
probably the former, maybe the latter
hallow marsh
so I should update internet explorer
robust magnet
as for the other person, I wasn't following 100% but.
Your PC died, and ever since it not being dead, FFXIV won't load and just black screens for you?
hallow marsh
and see if that works? It was working with my drivers right before, yeah

hallow marsh
I reinstalled it because it blank screened me and now the launcher is basically useless
robust magnet
Ah.

I thought you meant actually dead. lol.
I assume you've tried restarting, reinstalling, admin mode, and making sure it's actually closed in the task manager?
hallow marsh
yeah, it's not running anymore
slate arrow
🦀 ffxiv dot exe is dead 🦀
I'd say get the windows MS setup utility and boot up windows in that mode
robust magnet
So when you open FFXIV the launcher comes up, but the game black screens?

And then revert to a backup before the crash
I had a time where roblox bricked my install of windows 10, I was lucky I had a backup from about a week ago
hallow marsh
yeah, the launcher just says the games name and thats it
when I click on about internet explorer it just says windows 10
robust magnet
I bricked one of my surface tablets once.
when I went to install windows 10.
somehow I uninstalled windows 10 and the previous OS.
that was fun.
gritty cedar
yeah, the launcher just says the games name and thats it
oh dear, did u say ur ffxiv was on an ssd?
robust magnet
external as in it's connected to your PC via USB?
slate arrow
Reinstall the FFXIV launcher to a main drive
gritty cedar
an external SSD
apps turn to read-only, u got urself a dying ssd, try to reinstall the game on a main drive
hallow marsh
yeah, i've never had issues with it before and all my games work on it fine
the issue is my computer's main drive has shitty storage, hence the external, but I can move it to the main and see if that works
hallow marsh
yeah it's just gonna be a game that hates anything other than the normal C drive then
robust magnet
Did you update Internet Explorer yet?
leaden ginkgo
Should I make a macro that explains how we would do certain mechanics if I were to create a PF for X extreme trial? Is that what they mean by “do you have a macro?”
hallow marsh
no, i'm not quite sure how
slate arrow
I was able to install FFXIV to a secondary drive in my PC before I upgraded my main drive to an SSD
So honestly it could be any reason
hallow marsh
oh theyve got a download page, i've got it
slate arrow
Google it, and tell Microsoft you want IE not Edge
robust magnet
yeah, my grandpa asks me a lot of stuff as simple as literally clicking 1 button on the mouse.
leaden ginkgo
Does anyone what voice option is the that annoying one for miqote
Cant preview grunts xd
robust magnet
altho I am reading that IE11 auto updates itself.
leaden ginkgo
The one that can be heard on the moon
hallow marsh
yeah it's still saying windows 10 in the about internet explorer tab
robust magnet
but I can't tell when this was posted.
Since it's microsoft's main page.
windows 10 in the about internet explorer tab
huh?
hallow marsh
robust magnet
thats normal
well if it's up to date, do you have any anti-virus running aside from the Windows Defender program.
that could be blocking FFXIV
hallow marsh
no, just windows defender
hallow marsh
yup, it's literally just this one game having issues
robust magnet
https://preview.tinyurl.com/y4b6skkb
There is this guide which has a lot of internet based solutions.
I don't know if any of them are really what you're having issues with but you can try them.
(I put it in a tinyurl cuz the original link is crazy long)
a reddit poster said this.
Actually I did (deleted FF documents folder) but it didn't help at first. I reinstalled the game again removed all settings restarted pc and then it suddenly worked.
hallow marsh
gonna shut down and see if that works if not i
robust magnet
So if you don't feel like messing around with all that tech stuff.
You can consider completely wiping FF14 from your PC and drives and re-installing.
you might lose your HUD and hoykeys this way tho.
hallow marsh
i'll put it in C folder
robust magnet
Also do you have the game via Steam?
another solution a user submitted.
OK I found this in another thread and it worked for me: Open the config file FFXIV.cfg under documents/my games/FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn with notepad and change the value of CutsceneMovieOpening to 1, rather than 0. Save, restart the game and you should be good
which to me sounds like the game gets hung up on the opening cinematic and this disables it.
hallow marsh
I've tried that, it didn't work this time around
I'm gonna delete and reinstall in the C drive and see if that works
robust magnet
make sure after uninstalling it you remove all the folders and other data
Sometimes uninstall doesn't actually remove everything.
and again, you'll still lose stuff like your HUD and keybinds if that wasn't backed up.
But other account data should be fine.
leaden ginkgo
While writing a macro that sends about 4 lines to the party chat, do I have to put /p before every single line in the macro editor?
hallow marsh
it's still showing up a black screen, even after moving it to C drive and deleting everything

yes, but i am going to highly advise against using that macro frequently
hallow marsh

Yes
Otherwise it will read it all as a single line.
robust magnet
Have you tried completely reinstalling the game?
Like, even redownloading the install file off Steam/SE
leaden ginkgo
yes, but i am going to highly advise against using that macro frequently
I’m writing one because I’m recruiting players for Titania EX, since I’ll write how we’ll position during mechanics
Thank you
polar hound
Fair enough. Do check up online, there MAY already be macros you can use 🙂
hallow marsh
yes, i've tried that
leaden ginkgo
Will do, cheers
One more qyestion, i have currently ongoing quest for anima lux, when I transfer to diff data center later today, do I have to start quest again or something like that?
polar hound
no
leaden ginkgo
Im worried cause Im pretty far into quest rn
hallow marsh
i got it working finally, had to reinstall and mess with some things in the boot file
polar hound
i wouldnt imagine so at least..fairly confident they would have it listed under server transfers that it would delete progress
hallow marsh
thank god, thank you
hollow urchin
If i buy the expansion, can i still playing the free trial without paying the subscription?
polar hound
no
robust magnet
No.
hollow urchin
😦
hallow marsh
having an error code with that would have helped immensely
polar hound
it's free to try not free to play, once you buy it well
faint flare
Once you buy and register you're out of trial for good
hollow urchin
:(((
hallow marsh
also is the companion app do anything really or is it just there?
hollow urchin
I want to play the free trial until i have to buy the expansion
but i cannot play with my frineds
faint flare
They can invite you
slate arrow
you'll have to buy starter in order to redeem the expansion
faint flare
If they own the game
hollow urchin
they are in the free trial too
polar hound
or you can have someone that isnt free trial invite you
robust magnet
companion app is for getting another teleport option, it also has a pay option for another retainer and something else.
polar hound
all to a group
faint flare
Then need to ask someone else
wispy parcel
honestly this game is mostly solo content regardless until you reach endgame
but yea just ask in in yell chat
in a major town
You cant use shout chat in trial right?
polar hound
you also get an emote for using the companion app..or at least registering it
hollow urchin
yyep
wispy parcel
then yea yell chat
hollow urchin
but i cannot go in raids with my friends
hallow marsh
ah, okay so not something really useful then
polar hound
its there because they promised it..it aint great lol
robust magnet
iirc you can register on the app, get the emote and free teleport, then uninstall?
polar hound
it was supposed to offer live chat basically so you can read fc chat etc on your phone, at least thats what most assumed
you can
wispy parcel
if you sub through the app u also get a free extra retainer
gritty oracle
is potd a good was to level 57-61? I get only 700k xp per 51-60 run.

it is that i can literally do the multiplayer parts with them

what specifically are you trying to run with them right now
if you get someone not on the trial to invite you all to a group and leave, you can queue for it together
hollow urchin

zinc orbitBOT
hollow urchin
yeh but use people to make us the group... i feel bad doing that hahaha
hollow urchin
its not?
polar hound
people on xiv are a lot more friendly than most may initially think
hollow urchin
ah so ill try
polar hound
yeah, there was a hugeee influx of people trying the trial out because they increased it to include HW+level 60 cap, pretty huge upgrade for a trial. I got a few tells myself asking to inv people
hollow urchin
i can do it just asking through general chat?
robust magnet
I remember someone asked in the NN if someone could party them together, like 9 people went up to him and his friends to do it.
polar hound
I forget which chat channels you have access to tbh but say would work..NN would be ideal, i dont recall if they can access that though
novice network

you can access the NN

Yeah if they're in the way of your MSQ you can ask somebody to come oneshot it for you
scarlet arrow
I'm not 100% sure but I think A-ranks are placed in spots that are not directly in the way of people doing MSQ
full trail
It has kinda a spiky red symbol but it looks different from regular mobs with red triangle symbols that aggro
scarlet arrow
like if you have to go to a very specific spot for the MSQ there won't be an A-Rank sitting on it
full trail
Yea its just near by,I can advoid it
simple shore

There's a couple times where they'll block a path though, not be on the actual spot.

yeah it happens occasionally

I haven't had one actually spawn on a path yet

Cause someone just outdmg me by 2m
But that person got 95% parse when i get 20%

There’s lots of factors besides your dots
Stuff like having a solid opener to take advantage of the party’s raid utilities, high GCD uptime, using cooldowns as they’re ready, and having good gear.
