they were button mashing

then they died

tht was me one time

but it was in seat of sacrifice

[steep narwhal]

[whole estuary]

I did it the first time because someone told me I could keyboard mash instead of click

[steep narwhal]

"guys it's my first time can we please do it right"

[whole estuary]

But it turns out it only works on movement related keys

[steep narwhal]

[whole estuary]

so we wiped

[boreal pumice]

Normal keys should be fine

[whole estuary]

we wiped

[random needle]

I think I can mash my face buttons, dpad, and shoulder buttons with impunity on controller at least

[jagged aspen]

raidwipe qte in normal trial was a genious move

In eorzea the beast tribes often summon gods to fight in their stead

[whole estuary]

maybe skill buttons too, but I don't mash 12453827

those are too high up

And I use MMO mouse so the keys around wsad aren't mapped to actions

[jagged aspen]

for a long time i thought you have to click the circle with your mouse

[dreamy whale]

Lol

[whole estuary]

so I'm pretty certain non movement/skill keys don't count for QTE

[jagged aspen]

i just ordered one, can you bind those buttons directly or you have to remap them to obscure keys?

you don't have to remap anything

[whole estuary]

it's fine

my coheal was just dead on the floor for 75% of that

and i solo healed it

[random needle]

[proper cave]

SCH has always been good aside from that one month after Stormblood launch

[jolly flume]

eos could probably solo heal normal content bruh

[wicked delta]

well i never doubted it being good

but i didnt know

it could have this power...

i was playing with the most dented mfs possible and i still kept the party alive

[random needle]

I feel like people should comm my fairy more than me sometimes

[clear plume]

tell that to pf, dont even get weekly parties on a tuesday morning this tier.

doing add phase for the 15th time isnt appealing to people

[random needle]

What happened there exactly

[clear plume]

it was still fine

but brojobs the memeguy made a "scholar is NOT okay" reddit post that got like 10k updoots bc people complained about piss tether

and the class got buffed when he literally like

complained about it doing some things worse than whm and some worse than ast

[jolly flume]

who's ready for dissipate to get removed next expansion because waaaaah antisynergy

[clear plume]

like it was a meme post about scholar having worse mana economy than ast and worse single target damage than whm

so its bad because the class isnt the best at everything

and when you realize that was about stormblood release whm

[zealous meteor]

Lucid Dreaming Please use it.

[quick verge]

scholar needs to be the best job in the game or im gonna shit myself

[random needle]

I hope I have a fight where aetherpact is actually useful, e8s gave me literally no good spots for it that I recall

[clear plume]

but yeah, community really bought it and the class was buffed into being broken all expack bc of it

[jolly flume]

you don't gotta shit yourself then

lol

[dreamy whale]

Me when they get rid of even more of the phys ranged job identity

[clear plume]

ast got its 1.5s cast just to keep up with the buffs sch got off of a legitimate troll post

[zealous meteor]

it's useful in dungeons!
in raids... yeah no

[dreamy whale]

Truly I am only useful to raids by existing

Nothing I do actively contributes

[jolly flume]

it's not even useful in dungeons if the tank has two fingers and as many brain cells

[jade nimbus]

big ask for the avarage ffxiv player tbh

[jolly flume]

welcome to playing phys range

enjoy your stay

[zealous meteor]

yeah

[dreamy whale]

I want them to give us job identity bc I really like phys ranged

[random needle]

It really felt like e8s on healer was either "nothing is happening", "raidwide damage whee", "Oh people might actually die if I don't press buttons" (intermission), or "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" (Wyrm's Lament 2)

[zealous meteor]

there are so many w2w pulls where i literally just throw a recitated excog on the tank and plop down sacred soil when they park at the wall and spam art of war for the rest of the pull

[jolly flume]

ok heres the thing, most people complaining about phys range job identity don't even know what they want

[quick verge]

i want

bard to do the most damage

and give 8k rdps

and have more buffs

and mit

[jolly flume]

i want machinist to not be bricked

[loud nymph]

I want to not play phys ranged anymore

does that count

[jolly flume]

yeah

I mean that's why I don't play it much anymore lol

[dreamy whale]

I want them to make utility or our mobility more impactful in content

[zealous meteor]

i don't even know what machinist needs other than bigger numbers

[boreal pumice]

Blitz baller is what I want

[loud nymph]

my favorite phys ranged job identity would be not playing this godawful role anymore

[zealous meteor]

it's fun to play

[dreamy whale]

Machinist doesn't function as a phys ranged because it doesn't do the phys ranged thing

[random needle]

I have fun on BRD and MCH

On DNC... I try not to drool on the controller

[dreamy whale]

Either they need to gigabuff the damage or they need to redesign it's kit to be more like dnc and brd

[loud nymph]

the problem with MCH is the problem with all phys ranged, it's the "ranged tax"

absolutely fucking asinine design

[dreamy whale]

Yea that's what I meant you explained it better tho

[loud nymph]

when melees have to take like 2 GCDs of downtime at most in a 10 minute fight

the "tax" is fucking ridiculous

[daring pine]

me but with raise tax on rdm

just let me do damage man

fuck summoner

[jolly flume]

if ranged tax actually worked you'd see a relatively equal spread across all jobs because melees would lose enough uptime to actually get them down to ranged level

but we live in a world where you throw one ranged attack a minute if you're safety gaming

lol

[quick verge]

ranged tax only started existing after they started heavily removing reasons for it to exist

they gutted pranged utility

[loud nymph]

WoW used to do this with a "hybrid tax", where if you were a damage dealer on a class that had healing or tank options available like priest or paladin, you're guaranteed to do less damage than the pure damage dealers like mage or warlock

[quick verge]

they removed mechanics that you'd go "my pranged should do that"

[loud nymph]

it was stupid then and it's stupid now

[quick verge]

so ur left with like

half a job

[random needle]

So you're saying they need to bring back liquid hell baits

[wicked delta]

a9n in my normal roul

[quick verge]

btw

they also started gigabuffing caster movement

around the time they introduced ranged tax

[dreamy whale]

They hate us

[daring pine]

when rdm movement buff pls se

[quick verge]

we went from

blm turret memes

[whole estuary]

RDM gets a side flip

[quick verge]

to rdm having the most complicated caster movement

like

???

what a joke

[jolly flume]

modern 8 man fight design leans on "everyone has to do the mechanic" way too hard for prange being the perfect baiter/kiter archetype to matter because they'll just never get singled out for that kind of thing

it's just bricked

and it won't change lol

play 4 man content if you want that

gl

[loud nymph]

hilarious to me that they felt a melee buff was necessary in 7.2

because apparently uptime was such an issue in cruiserweight

[random needle]

Manifesting 6 billion extra potency to pranged in 7.4

[whole estuary]

the ranged job most likely to have that is probably BLU with some weird preconditions

[quick verge]

melee getting buffs is kinda like

[jolly flume]

I was playing fellowship the other day on the bard-adjacent class and I had to do an orb kiting mechanic while the rest of my party sat in melee range pointing ice cleaves at them and I was like oh

[quick verge]

lol

[jolly flume]

this is what it feels like to have responsibilities

[loud nymph]

it's like when they buffed DRK damage in whichever patch that was

when they were already the strongest tanks

[jolly flume]

lol

buffing torcleaver

and the reign combo

good one

[torn mesa]

they buffed NIN in 7.3

I think that says enough about how off they are with their balance

[loud nymph]

I think it's proof that they just buff/nerf based on vibes tbh

[quick verge]

pleaseeeeeeeee buff picto please please please

[torn mesa]

if not vibes, it's clear they aren't using anything close to remotely relevant fflogs data

[random needle]

Yeah it really does just feel like vibes at this point

[jolly flume]

frankly that's been evident for the entire expansion

[random needle]

Why did BLM AOE not get touched AT ALL in 7.3.

[jolly flume]

gunbreaker: exists
se: 50% hp on bolide and 50% buff to aurora because why not

[torn mesa]

they also all but admitted to balancing around difficulty

[random needle]

Is this your grand design, Yoshi-P? HF2/HB2 are useless buttons and we only press Flare forever now?

[loud nymph]

for the same reason they buffed checks on MCH

[jolly flume]

oh

[loud nymph]

yet still haven't made ACB worthwhile

vibes

[jolly flume]

and them buffing oracle from 600->860p between media tour and live

I mean like

lol dude

are you even trying anymore

if yall don't remember the numbers from back then ast was gapping every other healer by like 2k

which it still is but it's a relatively smaller difference since our dps has gone up a pretty significant amount since then

[loud nymph]

AST being better than WHM in literally every context is honestly kinda funny

[torn mesa]

I really think they just don't play the jobs they're making changes to at all

formless DK MNK in 7.0 is the case and point of that

[random needle]

Coping and praying that the current balance is being done by one (1) intern who's addled off their gourd while everyone else is working on trying to make 8.0 changes that won't make everyone mad (they will, inevitably)

[zealous meteor]

addled? they do less damage?

[jolly flume]

10% worse magical balancing, 5% physical

[worldly grotto]

Literally who asked for the DRG changes in 7.1 or BLM changes in 7.2

[loud nymph]

I think the BLM thing must be based on internal metrics of how popular the job is

[torn mesa]

well I think those are actually more defensible than them just straight up getting the number tuning wrong

like you could argue this is how they want the job to play

[worldly grotto]

Again I think "popularity" as a metric for how "good" a job is is dumb

[loud nymph]

"oh nobody's playing BLM"

"could that be because we fucked up massively with PCT?"

"nope must be because BLM's too hard let's ruin what people enjoy about the job"

[torn mesa]

but I don't think you could argue SE wants MNK to use a formless DK after every Boot

[loud nymph]

was that actually a thing

[torn mesa]

yes

[loud nymph]

Jesus fuck

[torn mesa]

the potency just worked out that way

[jolly flume]

I miss my demolish, tails

[worldly grotto]

That 7.0 MNK video was pretty funny

https://youtu.be/riiiiOB3NHQ?si=oK0mnbF32dxcJQD0

[jolly flume]

anyways

I fully expect a couple more jobs to get taken out back and shot dead next expansion

[loud nymph]

holy shit lmao

[jolly flume]

[worldly grotto]

DRK is gonna be one of them I guarantee

[jolly flume]

gotta play all the scholar I can before they make the fairy cosmetic like summoner

you could've just said dungeons in general

the only one I've looked forward to getting in the last year is alexandria and that's only because a trail unending is the best thing soken has ever made

[ripe bough]

Halatali rework is goofy, just slap some proteans on the first boss, and have text pop up to tell people mechanics do in fact exist.

[whole estuary]

at least it's teaching(?) sprouts to make a habit of immediately moving into the bad after it goes off

[rapid whale]

It's so good

[ripe bough]

I do appreciate a lesson like this coming sooner than ARF

[random needle]

And they knew it was so good that they had to immediately remix it into breakcore for the subsequent trial

[jolly flume]

the original sweeps still

[ripe bough]

Now they need to remove the AoE indicators from coincounter in Aurum Vale so people will actually look at the boss and cast bar, maybe

[jolly flume]

I get that they were trying to do something a little different but it just did not work at all

[rapid whale]

i had a similar exp the other day in expert roulette; during the solo bosses in meso terminal my tank died like over 5 times

It was pretty mid ngl

That's a new one, usually it's some half asleep DPS ignoring the DoT add or the healer not having esuna on their bar

[random needle]

"Ah, you've arrived. I'll begin by wearing you down."

[rapid whale]

can you imagine the forum posts about how their expert roulettes take an hour

[jolly flume]

"the challenger is doing dogshit dps! can their party backpack them through?"

[wicked delta]

LMAOOOOOOOO

can they add that fr

[whole estuary]

would love if he had unique messages if people died

[loud nymph]

not to do the "actually wow did this" thing but wow actually did this and it was awesome

[random needle]

"Oh, my, has the challenger fallen asleep? They can hardly swing their weapon!"

[loud nymph]

if you die in outdoor zandalar zones you get taunted by Bwonsamdi the loa of death

[jolly flume]

it's going to be too quiet without metem next expansion

[loud nymph]

with unique taunts for each class

[wicked delta]

genuinely gonna miss metem

lmao

[remote gate]

chat can we agree that post EW was ass and just a shitty rehash of ffiv's plot

[loud nymph]

yes

[rapid whale]

drk dies, "Oh! I guess he's not living dead anymore"

[random needle]

We just need each boss to be as vocal as the opponents + Metem were here

[loud nymph]

and I don't care about zero

[jolly flume]

e11s last night felt so quiet

[ripe bough]

The Golbez "twist" was so fucking lame

And added nothing

[whole estuary]

it gave us Shururu awawaaaaaa

and Sweatstinen

[remote gate]

finally when 6.5 came out I was told "nuh uh" in this server especially with the stupid ass twist that zero is supposed to be like Cecil

[rapid whale]

sphene ultimate as a wol dies, "With your aether, I could keep my people alive another week!"

[loud nymph]

post ARR was dookie

post HW was good

post SB was dookie

Post ShB was good

post EW was dookie

post DT was....good?

[ripe bough]

I have been liking post-DT even if it feels like we're just redoing the story beats at the end of DT again

[jolly flume]

if we ever get sphene in an ultimate I'm afraid I'm going to have to recreate that honey b lovely meme everyone was spamming when she came out about how you refuse to hurt your queen

[random needle]

Post-EW was kinda just average going through it all at once, but it'd feel like absolute dog water if you had to wait months between each crumb

[remote gate]

WOAW THE REAL GOLBEZ WAS THE GUY WE COULD SEE IN THE FLASHBACKS AND WHO SHARES A NAME WITH GOLBEZ IN FFIV AFTER YEARS HOLY SHIT

[wicked delta]

ive legit been dreading leveling my alt just because i fucking hate endwalker patches that much

every dungeon sleeper

barb and golbez are aight

every other trial

sleeper

[whole estuary]

I haven't played FF4, I liked it

[rapid whale]

sphene is p cute true

[ripe bough]

I also find the master hacker children in the DT raid story and MSQ to be funny

https://tenor.com/view/phineas-and-ferb-doofenschmirtz-if-i-had-two-nickels-gif-8492318790274198203

[remote gate]

not joking when we say post ew is literally ffivs story

[whole estuary]

I think it's funny that the 4 classical Greek elements are Fire, Water, Wind, and Zombies

[rapid whale]

i wonder how much they r gonna sell sphene's outfit/hair for

[ripe bough]

$35

[random needle]

I have been thriving in post-DT with Sphene and Wuk Lamat

[jolly flume]

idk but i'll buy it

[remote gate]

20 dollars call it

[jolly flume]

her cuteness knows no limits

[remote gate]

and it has shitty dye channels

[wicked delta]

id buy sphene's hair

[whole estuary]

which sphene

[clear plume]

sphenes coat outfit is like the only mod i use outfit wise

[rapid whale]

https://tenor.com/view/ghost-gif-5889395026730118957

[clear plume]

so id def buy that one

[random needle]

And the iPad babies are great too honestly, I want to give Calyx a swirlie and shove him in a locker

[wicked delta]

idk both of them are fine

i prefer the sci fi sphene hair tho

[clear plume]

even had to fix the mod bc the version i had was broken

[random needle]

And I want to give Gulool Ja a rainbow lollipop and a propellor hat

[clear plume]

and didnt dye right

[rapid whale]

sphene's armor is basically ultimate glow but in armors lol

[remote gate]

do it

[loud nymph]

honestly I genuinely think barb and golbez were designed by different teams

[rapid whale]

if the glow is dyable, square would make millions

[jolly flume]

id wear glowy armor

[loud nymph]

because there's no way the team that gave us barb ex also gave us fucking rubicante ex

[jolly flume]

shame they don't make any good ones

[loud nymph]

the snooziest trial ever

[remote gate]

do you think rubicante was designed by the C team of ffxiv

[whole estuary]

Bakool Ja Ja being like a kid who had to bring back a bad report card was so cute, I couldn't even feel mad at him

[jolly flume]

golbez was neat

[wicked delta]

rubicante is my most hated fight in this game

[loud nymph]

C team at best

[random needle]

The only thing I remember about Rubicante is that one wheel mechanic that I can't even remember what you're supposed to do with it

[clear plume]

I think they just put more effort into even patch extremes than off patch ones every time

[remote gate]

like the C team were told "hey make an ex trial that's pretty easy for players to understand"

[random needle]

Praying that Arkveld EX being good doesn't mean that 7.4 ex will be bad

[rapid whale]

some of the ones from ew savage raids looked ok

[whole estuary]

Don't forget Rubicante's Hydain remix BGM

[rapid whale]

that one healer top everyone wears

[jolly flume]

the anabaseios one?

[remote gate]

what can the devs rip from ffix to make as a trial boss for 7.4

[loud nymph]

kuja

[jolly flume]

i just don't like the whole you have a floating ring on your back thing

[random needle]

Ozma Again, Somehow

[versed kayak]

I'd rather do rubicante than golbez ex

[ripe bough]

https://tenor.com/view/thirsty-lick-abs-desperate-woman-gif-7899812

[random needle]

I think it'd be neat if Calyx came back as a trial in 8.0 or 8.x or something and he's, like, Trance Kuja or something

[versed kayak]

golbez ex is sooo boring in the first half

[random needle]

I need to play FF9, I don't know all the references

[remote gate]

kuja somehow becomes the villain for the 7.4 - 7.55 plot that leads into 8.0

[loud nymph]

if that gave us the Soken remix of The Dark Messenger that I've been wanting since like day one, I'm all for it

[whole estuary]

reminds me of this but John MMORPGs

[jolly flume]

zenyatta is that you

[wicked delta]

wtf is up with the statues here

never noticed them before

[whole estuary]

that's a fantastic screenshot area yeah

[whole estuary]

the throne works as a sittable object

[wicked delta]

ik about the throne

just never really looked at the decor

[random needle]

The throne being sittable is fun

[whole estuary]

I always try to sleep in every bed that appears

they start being good about it in Shadowbringers

most dungeon chairs are not sittable...

[wicked delta]

sit

[random needle]

I went straight to this chair when I got the Galatea set lmao

[wicked delta]

fuck you SE just let me teleport

[jolly flume]

get your steps in

[wicked delta]

i love expedience one of my favorite genders

[random needle]

Drink in the dungeon design

[jolly flume]

let me introduce you to smudge

[whole estuary]

they do have an NPC who lets you teleport to the bottom floor

[random needle]

Man expedience would have been so good in e8s

[whole estuary]

you may have missed it

[jolly flume]

exped is like my second favorite healer button

whoosh

you're fast now

[loud nymph]

still find it funny people memed about expedience being stupid when job actions trailer came out and turned out it was like the strongest button in the game

[random needle]

Turns out that being able to mit damage and give everyone an extra mini sprint is really useful

[remote gate]

if only sage got something as good

[jolly flume]

holos is pretty good

the thing sage doesn't have an answer to is deploy

shits broken

[worldly grotto]

Post-StB was dookie?

[random needle]

Deployment tactics my BELOVED

[dull drum]

missing deployment tactics is like losing your child

source: a healer main told me

[random needle]

I could never play Sage in high end

[remote gate]

its actually pretty good in high end

[jolly flume]

I have a clip of this in m8s week 1 lol

[ripe bough]

SGE doesn't have a snack for when they get hungy tho

[random needle]

BUT MY SPREADLOOOOOO

[remote gate]

you have tons of options for prepainf for big stuff

[random needle]

(I know Sage is fine but I like my book and beanie baby :()

[jolly flume]

my prange was like "deployment tactics missed?" and then half a second later six people exploded to the prey marker in adds

[loud nymph]

It absolutely was, amnesia is a stupid gimmick

[remote gate]

https://tenor.com/view/yippee-cat-explosion-gif-11079301938727146216

[jolly flume]

man that just reminds me again

that everything got range buffed

I don't even have to deploy there anymore because I can cross map succor

[wicked delta]

zero is so pretty

i wish her character didnt suck

lol

[worldly grotto]

I didn't mind it, but I think overall that patch series did great at closing StB and leading to ShB

[rapid whale]

9 is considered the series creator's magnum opus

[jolly flume]

i'll go back and play stb someday

it's the only expansion I skipped

[rapid whale]

after 9, the final fantasies were made by new people

[worldly grotto]

Better than any other expansion honestly

Besides ShB

[remote gate]

there's a reason why it's called snoreblood

[rapid whale]

i actually liked stormblood but that's prob cuz i could relate it to the stories my gma told me

[wicked delta]

i like stormblood's themes

and i can see the ideas

[random needle]

Stormblood has really great moments, but also a lot of more bland bits in between

[wicked delta]

i just think its pacing is straight cheeks

[rapid whale]

yea fair

[ripe bough]

StB is fine, it just happens to be sandwiched between HW and ShB, which on average are the more popular expansions for their stories.

[rapid whale]

it's like a dish where all the ingredients r good but the sauce is burnt and the noodles r soggy

[random needle]

It's nowhere near as dull as ARR's pacing, but it's definitely the rockiest, especially in MSQ

[wicked delta]

yea

[jolly flume]

my bad

[loud nymph]

4.4 and 4.5 are fine, but everything before that is straight booty cheeks

[rapid whale]

who let him cook

[worldly grotto]

Google Spaghetti al'assassina

[rapid whale]

stormblood really really felt like it wantd to be 2 expansions

[rapid whale]

but those noodles arent soggy madge

[worldly grotto]

I cannae read

[random needle]

No one will ever convince me Asahi sas Brutus isn't a peak character

[rapid whale]

no that's just your inner dies for a psychotic simp

[wicked delta]

i love that 75% of his character is literally raging homosexual

[rapid whale]

desire

[wicked delta]

i think its great

[rapid whale]

wtf hands

[ripe bough]

I think another expansion of properly dealing with the Garleans would've been nice over the "I uh, guess they just colapsed" EW did.

[wicked delta]

i wish i had a psychotic simp

[worldly grotto]

Great villain, want to pop his head like a grape

[whole estuary]

I recommend replaying FF12!!! Just to go back to Old Archades

[rapid whale]

12 is peak too

[ripe bough]

Gabranth my beloved

[rapid whale]

any game matsuno touches is p peak

[worldly grotto]

Continuously place rubber bands on his head until it explodes like a watermelon

[random needle]

EXACTLY, and then Fandaniel carries his legacy

[rapid whale]

vagrant story remake when

[random needle]

And now we have Calyx

[worldly grotto]

https://tenor.com/view/explode-watermelon-gif-5761623

[random needle]

I love FF villains that are extremely evil psychos who happen to look like 12 year Olds

[wicked delta]

i fuckin love calyx lmao hes literally an ipad baby

[whole estuary]

At that point I was fed up with them bringing back dead people ad infinitum

[rapid whale]

he's a bit cliche for an msq big bad tho but it's w/e

[whole estuary]

I calmed myself by saying "this is actually a new character, they just wanted to recycle assets"

[loud nymph]

this is a big part of what pissed me off about post SB tbh

[jolly flume]

emotionless scientist trope

[loud nymph]

"actually gosetsu and yotsuyu didn't die"

"actually Zenos didn't die"

[whole estuary]

right???

[random needle]

Technically that was set up at the end of 4.0

But I get it

[loud nymph]

I know, but it's still shit

[rapid whale]

https://tenor.com/view/glorious-evolution-evolotion-victor-arcane-gif-15905948241207288962

[jolly flume]

this already pissed me the fuck off in heavensward lmao

[random needle]

Oh god I forgot about that image

[ripe bough]

Not committing to killing Nanamo soured any death moving forward for me

[wicked delta]

nanamo rezzing was some bullshit

lmfao

[jolly flume]

leaving nanamo alive once yeah ok

every single scion in heavensward

fuck off

[worldly grotto]

Don't care, Goatsetsu is too glorious to die

[loud nymph]

and then Y'shtola again in stormblood

And again again in Shadowbringers

[random needle]

... I mean technically Minfilia, but like

[wicked delta]

they only committed to killing minfillia and then brought a form of her back in shadowbringers anyway

lmfao

[random needle]

I think Y'shtola should actually die in 7.4 and you think it's another fake out but it isn't

[jolly flume]

it's like boy who cried wolf but for character deaths

I just stopped caring

[ripe bough]

I mean, Papalymo is still very dead thankfully

[worldly grotto]

Until 9.0

[whole estuary]

She actually gets sent to Dissidia, connecting the timelines

[grizzled pasture]

i like him because hes not, hes actually deeply angry and insecure and crashes out the instant he seems like he will lose in 7.3

[wicked delta]

in the patches where that one guy got turned into a coke pile

that made me laugh

[grizzled pasture]

and hes the kind of chill that we havent seen from an antagonist in xiv before, very confident and nonchalant about everything
very funny line delivery

[wicked delta]

6 million more alexandrian genocides

[whole estuary]

He spouts death flags across the whole city until he becomes a pile of dust

[grizzled pasture]

i was worried hed just be monotone the whole time but he has some great lines in the new dungeon

go on, soldiers, defend your kingdom!

[wicked delta]

i like calyx bc hes so painfully simple

[grizzled pasture]

bro does not care

[wicked delta]

hes just like

yeah i fucking hate you people

and im like HELL YEAH JIGSAW

[shy obsidian]

he’s a fake idgafer lmao

Bro was trying to act all aloof and cool and then he lost once and he’s throwing a tantrum 😭

[grizzled pasture]

i hope we get a scary villain again soon, like actually scary even if they cant realistically directly hurt the wol because obviously we win in any direct 1:1

[wicked delta]

his grand plan: shocking the person who has tanked planets with a city powered energy bolt

[whole estuary]

Well the other times he loses he just says "actually that was just a test, I was just collecting data, I was calibrating, it wasn't even me on the controller it was my little brother, "

[grizzled pasture]

everything makes me wish for more zoraal ja he could have had just a bit more time as a feral little freak after absorbing all the souls

[jolly flume]

down for the count: 3s

[ripe bough]

To be fair, electrope has many uses

[grizzled pasture]

i love how fucked up he is in the trial

big fan of the trope of someone overindulging on power and losing control and becoming like a cornered animal

[wicked delta]

useless against hydaelyn's special princess tho

[ripe bough]

Well, we get to have Ascian shenanigans again it looks like given the ending of 7.3

[jolly flume]

if he was smart he'd have applied lightning vulnerability up first

and it would've done 9999999

[wicked delta]

i pop invuln

[grizzled pasture]

i was so fucking excited seeing that very familiar pair of legs

[zealous meteor]

to be fair didn't he literally go "well, i wasn't expecting that to work anyway"

"worth a try though"

[ripe bough]

Would like them to address Gaius's Ascian mask collection at some point. I like how he's like "I hunt Ascians" and we just never address that again.

[zealous meteor]

gaius is unfortunately stuck in side content jail

[whole estuary]

and the side content will be Allagans

[queen raft]

Who knows he may have a major plot in 8.0 considering...

[ripe bough]

Like, we had to sacrifice a scion to figure out how to kill one in post-ARR, WTF is Gaius doing just murking them no issue, unless they're not actually dead I guess.

[boreal pumice]

not much to address as beside that one red mask they dont matter as the black masks are just cultists need no auracite

[grizzled pasture]

i was satisfied with 7.x, thought it was pretty good but not my favorite, wish there had been more tural (still a bit mad there is just going to be more 9th for .4 and .5 when there is cool lore to be explored in tural proper) (and i want to go to the north!!! let me explore canada and find my house in what is now northern usa somewhere)

[jolly flume]

making speeches to them till they die of boredom

[ripe bough]

How very glib

[grizzled pasture]

i think hes just killing the bodies and taking masks tbh

[whole estuary]

Gaius was probably killing non whatchamacallits

[grizzled pasture]

i doubt he has auracite on hand in the few months hes just some guy wandering around

[whole estuary]

ones that keep living as souls

[boreal pumice]

and they can be killed by the the ol aether succ like asaclon from thordan

[queen raft]

All the sundered?

[grizzled pasture]

he has a couple red masks too

[whole estuary]

hmm

[zealous meteor]

yeah he's probably killing the bodies to slow them down
and not killing the ascians themselves permanently

[grizzled pasture]

black masks seem to die permanently but red masks can just be rehomed in a new body with the fuit gummies

[queen raft]

||Aren't all the unsundered gone?||

[whole estuary]

now, yah

[zealous meteor]

and there were only three

[ripe bough]

Yes, I believe there were only 3 though

[whole estuary]

one of them is still presentish, but is being used as a battery

digested by CT

[queen raft]

Lahabrea?

[zealous meteor]

there's a difference between unsundered ascians and convocation members
fandaniel is a convocation member (red mask) but was sundered

[grizzled pasture]

unsundered yes but i bet whoever we saw in 7.3 (has anyone datamined to see the full model? like wuk lamat was just a pair of legs in 6.4) was killed by gaius before and will comment on it

[boreal pumice]

he got asacaloned by thordan

[whole estuary]

Elizabeth

[zealous meteor]

the model is a fem au ra from what i've heard

[queen raft]

Oh

[zealous meteor]

but that doesn't necessarily mean the ascian will be an au ra

[zealous meteor]

the elidibussy

[grizzled pasture]

elidibus, fully eaten by crystal tower by the end of pandaemonium i think

[wicked delta]

introducing peeled au ra into ffxiv

[grizzled pasture]

i want that twink so bad chat

[queen raft]

OH I FORGOT ABOUT THAT

[ripe bough]

My favorite twink 😭

[grizzled pasture]

oh interesting, hoping for altima but theres other (assumed) female ascians left i think

[boreal pumice]

eaten on the way to elpis , the themis we see his is past self

[grizzled pasture]

emmerololth(sp?) is a woman i think though shes kind of in limbo

[zealous meteor]

elidibus died when we went to elpis yeah

[ripe bough]

They can't do anything with Gaia because side-content

[zealous meteor]

athena used parts of his soul to create the "fake" one in the aethereal sea

[whole estuary]

she's in coffee biscuit jail

[grizzled pasture]

i swear there was another scene later in ew or panda that shows the last of his energy fizzling out but i might have dreamed that ngl

[zealous meteor]

which is why by the end he remembers sending us to elpis

[queen raft]

||Wasn't Athena a major character for Pandemonium||

[boreal pumice]

last thing they did for gaius is give him a thing with tataru for the family photo which fucking hurts

[zealous meteor]

yes

[ripe bough]

Bring the DILF back FFS

[queen raft]

Imagine if they bring Gaius back as a major character when they're done with all the Ascians

[whole estuary]

I'd like to see how Allie is doing

[boreal pumice]

i keep thinking his ramsays boltens dad when he speaks

[ripe bough]

Gaius becomes the emperor of the reformed Garlemald, goes right back to trying to conquor Eorzea

Peak

[zealous meteor]

gaius is never going back to garlemald

[ripe bough]

Have to fight the Ultima-er Weapon

[boreal pumice]

didnt they become a council or decide F this were gonna live on the moon with loporitts

[whole estuary]

He has someone who is ready to slice off his head the moment he even entertains the thought

[zealous meteor]

i haven't finished sorrows of werlyt. does he actually have someone to stop him

[worldly grotto]

There’s a character who implies as much

[wicked delta]

yea

the elezen

[worldly grotto]

But the main reason he doesn’t want to go back is he doesn’t want to start basically a political war between the “loyalists” and whatever remains of garlemald now

[boreal pumice]

more or less said there are 2 factions one that wants him to do it and others who dont

[visual geyser]

Yes

[queen raft]

Y'all should I go back into being a healer main?

I kind of want to but I haven't been healer in over a year

I need to try assembling a team first and then rewatched a guide I found

you can get that as a consumable emote drop from maps!

Y'all know the quickest way to get level 100 gear that's above ilvl 725? The Tomestones of Mathematics apparently would take about 12 weeks to get a full set of gear from, and purchasing the craftable sets is gonna destroy my lowly amount of gil and I think my friends would backhand me for it

[rain geode]

I mean its only about 1-2m to buy a full set of 740 gear

[celest tulip]

You say only

[tawdry delta]

m5-8n

[celest tulip]

That is most of my wallet 🥲

[celest tulip]

I gotta look up what that is Thank ya kindly

[worldly grotto]

Current raid tier

[tawdry delta]

arkveld normal for weapons (il 745)

[celest tulip]

I need the gear for Arkveld, the minimal ilvl is 725

[rain geode]

PT can get you 755 weapons

[celest tulip]

Ough, the only raid I have unlocked is Heavensward's, this'll be fun.

[rain geode]

Most recent dungeon drops 735 but it almost be better just try and make some gil

[zealous meteor]

you don't need to unlock older expansion raids for it at least, just do M1-M4 first (the first tier of dawntrail's raids)

[celest tulip]

I knew that, I moreso meant I just don't do raids so this'll be a mess to figure out

[zealous meteor]

ah

[celest tulip]

I'll see what I can do with my incompetence

[zealous meteor]

well, normal raids are just slightly trickier trials, so don't worry

they're not actually hard

[rain geode]

I mean normal raids are just very slightly harder trials

[celest tulip]

Trials are nightmares

[zealous meteor]

it'll be fine

if you cleared the interphos you can do normal raids

[celest tulip]

I've been procrastinating Post Dawntrail for over a year now because it wants me to do a dungeon man, I ain't good at this

[vestal hollow]

?

[primal charm]

Aah yeah I did the Eden savage raid quite recently with three max lvl peeps for the Skyslipper, I'm more so intimidated when I see "Savage", especially when the raid is lvl90 😔

[celest tulip]

I don't even remember what Interphos is, I apparently have it unlocked and have done it But that memory is long gone

[zealous meteor]

the final trial of 7.0

[queen raft]

Don't current raids have gear to exchange for il740?

[zealous meteor]

yeah and some other people have already answered that

[queen raft]

Oh

[tawdry delta]

https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Level_100_Gear_Guide

[celest tulip]

I've been staring at that for 15 minutes HAHAH

[tawdry delta]

in general use this for gear

[celest tulip]

It's just too much for me to process and didn't know what would even be worth doing

[zealous meteor]

from what i know, shadowbringers and endwalker savages are completely different beasts to unsync right now
you have to do a lot more mechanics in endwalker savages (though by no means the entire fight)

[celest tulip]

So I decided it would prolly be easier to ask the smart and knowledgeable folks directly

[queen raft]

I haven't done any of EW's savages only the Shadowbringers savages

[celest tulip]

Welp time to go figure out the raids and cry a lil, thanks y'all

[primal charm]

Yeahhh for the Eden savage it was a matter of knowing where to stand and dodge, then I watched the Asphodelos guide and I'm like

[queen raft]

Wait have you not done raids before?

Wait I read that wrong

[celest tulip]

Only the Alexander one, that's bout it

And like... 3 Deltascape ones

[rain geode]

Your missing out some of the better fights are raids

[zealous meteor]

-# A DRIFTING TENDER

[celest tulip]

Eeeh I don't like big fights in games so I avoid most duty content that isn't MSQ required 🥲

Hate messing things up and dislike the challenge

[zealous meteor]

fwiw, in normal raids the rest of the party can easily clear even if you spend 90% of the fight dead on the floor

[queen raft]

I need to practice savage so I can get the il760 gear

I actually don't know what the min il will be for the next set of raids but all my gear are il740

[celest tulip]

Being dead on the floor is the problem I played another MMO for around 10+ years where if you messed up in any regard, you were ridiculed and shunned for it. Kinda lead into the habit of just avoiding any and all challenging content that could result in me screwing up mechanics

[zealous meteor]

[celest tulip]

Honestly I used to be worse, I used to google every single duty before I went into it and would learn the mechanics via guides. 🧍

[remote gate]

next crafted set is probably gonna be 770 ilvl gear

[queen raft]

I've only seen that happen to people who were trolling

[zealous meteor]

you can get i760 gear with tomestones and alliance raid coins/sacks of nuts

[queen raft]

The Babyface gear?

[celest tulip]

Yeah in the 6 years I've played FFXIV I've only ran into maybe 2 or so people like that, but the instinct sticks

[zealous meteor]

augmented historia

[queen raft]

Oh

[zealous meteor]

babyface champion is the savage gear

[celest tulip]

OH I've done Dawntrail M1 and M2, forgot I did those solely for M2's music

[queen raft]

I've had a healer that refused to heal anyone

[celest tulip]

[primal charm]

I had a healer who only DPS'ed and left me to heal the entire party

At least I had 5 commendations to make up for it

[rain geode]

drat cant transfer to Aether rn guess Im waiting til tommorow to do 71-100

[granite stag]

People being useless in roulettes duties is an everyday occurrence

[primal charm]

I'm in Oceania rn would anyone like to help me do Asphodelos 4 Savage

[sick dirge]

good luck finding help there at all

[dreamy whale]

Oce is like a petting zoo right

[vestal hollow]

huh?

[dreamy whale]

Everyone can visit but the people on oce can't leave

[primal charm]

last time i did a savage i went there

but yes i can't go back to Elemental fsr LMAO

ah there we go, i am homebound

[tall field]

Iirc 770 if crafted and 790 for savage.

Relic will go 760-> 775, and finally at 795

[spice path]

Well thats the gear. Not the min ilvl for the content itself.

[sick reef]

might be 760

cuz this tier min ilvl was 730

[spice path]

For cruiserweight it was 715 for normal and gave 740 gear. Savage was 730 for the first floor, 740 for the last two. Gave 760.

[tall field]

By that logic is 745 for m9-12n

760 for m9, 10 and 770 for the final 2 but i don't think anyone will go m9n with ilvl 760

[spice path]

Sounds about right? 30 point jump.
And I mean everyone has to do normal first, so if they have 760 now they will, unless they make new crafted first. But it won't be required by any means. Usually previous normal raid tier or crafted plus some tome is enough for normal. Or augmented crafted from previous.

[random needle]

... Okay Wyrmhole might be the most complex mechanic I've tried to study, whoa
