[rain geode]

[craggy marsh]

I said id never go back into raiding this expac but I kinda wanna get back into it

[vast jacinth]

Maybe i should sim some more

[rain geode]

[craggy marsh]

But I dont wanna pf so its time to put up my job application

[jolly flume]

[zealous meteor]

[rain geode]

[vast jacinth]

EU

[zealous meteor]

netherlands

[jolly flume]

the moon

[rain geode]

oh ok that makes sense

[vast jacinth]

Like gmt +0

[zealous meteor]

utc+1

[craggy marsh]

My only issue is my anxiety

[vestal hollow]

im oce but im pretty much awake all the time anyways

[jolly flume]

yeah I get that

[vast jacinth]

See i learned there are 7 clowns in the party

The 8th one is you

[jolly flume]

I'm not great at talking to people I don't know

[vestal hollow]

no i know why mango is anxious

[rain geode]

honestly its weird Im normally an extremely anxious person but I dont really feel anxious about playing games at all

[vestal hollow]

and its valid

[craggy marsh]

I gotta change my name and my SS number who wants the old one

[vast jacinth]

I feel anxious in statics

[jolly flume]

ill take it

[rain geode]

Or maybe its that I am anxious but the anxiousness of irl stuff is so much it drowns the smaller ones lol

[craggy marsh]

Take my old identity

[vast jacinth]

Or well static applications

[zealous meteor]

............SS is such a fucking unfortunate abbreviation

[craggy marsh]

Use it for evil

[vast jacinth]

But PF is fine

[zealous meteor]

gods

[craggy marsh]

Yeah....I just noticed 😭

[jolly flume]

I cope by overpreparing for everything

[vast jacinth]

Chiyo your also good at game though

[jolly flume]

well yeah but

even then I get anxiety

self induced or otherwise because I have expectations for myself

its not like BAD but yeah

[vast jacinth]

True

[craggy marsh]

Honestly me seeing that even the good week 1 raiders have anxiety does help put me at ease a little

[vast jacinth]

I know i will be anxious tmrw that i will fck up DD

[vestal hollow]

mango ill just eat anyone who recognizes u

[craggy marsh]

Eat them but leave the feet

[rapid whale]

wutda

[zealous meteor]

whar

[vestal hollow]

yes maam

[jolly flume]

new raid prog kinda reminds me of the feeling I got in my chest when we had a big swim meet lol

[craggy marsh]

[jolly flume]

mix of performance anxiety and like turbo hype

[vast jacinth]

Ok that i understand

I think i have it easier since i dont blind prog usually and def dont world prog

I just follow guides

[craggy marsh]

Honestly raiding gonna be a lot more fun with the ingame raidplan

Unless the implementation is ass and you cant look at it mid pull

[vast jacinth]

Sometimes shakys and anxiety hits but its like : Ok i got this and i start talkin to myself lmao

[craggy marsh]

You know you've hit peak raid mentality when you're listening to a podcast while doing dynamis

[jolly flume]

I get very bad shakies lol

it's why I could never get good at osu

[vast jacinth]

I will never

[craggy marsh]

I love the shakies

[jolly flume]

every time I was this close to fcing a pb map

i choked

bc shaky ass hands

[vast jacinth]

I need to listen to in game sound

[craggy marsh]

Even when its a mechanic I've done a thousand times

[jolly flume]

thank god it doesn't matter in 14

[craggy marsh]

P5 fru is baby easy but I got shaky during the exawaves

[vast jacinth]

I get shaky during DD

[craggy marsh]

I hate DD bc the sliding

[vast jacinth]

Tbf im only at intermission prog

[vast jacinth]

Same

[jolly flume]

when I first cleared an ultimate

my hands were numb for like

half an hour

[craggy marsh]

My first ult clear waw UWU and I needed a complete reset of my brain

[rapid whale]

i unironically vomited after clearing m8s

from all the adrenaline

[vast jacinth]

But today went well, i got called a good healer by my coheal so im finee

I just need to work on my p2 dmg

[craggy marsh]

My M7s clear made me take 30

[rapid whale]

nah p2 dmg fake

just tell dps to crit harder

[vast jacinth]

Lmaoo

[craggy marsh]

Week 1 strats suck and fuck you for whoever decided they should be designed around melee players

[vast jacinth]

I still find it funny thaz my coheal was at CT prog and helped my friends kill TEA in a weekend lmao

[rapid whale]

arent u melee

i thought you were pld lol

[zealous meteor]

crystal tower prog.....

[craggy marsh]

Shhhh

I'm just hating on melee dps

[zealous meteor]

yeah fuck melee dps

[rapid whale]

ok valid

[vast jacinth]

Yes

[craggy marsh]

What's a melee dps gonna do to me

[vast jacinth]

Exactly

[zealous meteor]

making fun of monk players is easy

you just do it and then they can't punch you

what are they gonna do? yeet their fists across the room?

[craggy marsh]

[jolly flume]

thunderclap

[craggy marsh]

Punch a hole in a wall? Real mature, Monk

[versed kayak]

they can always hire a tank to cleave you with a tb

[jolly flume]

hire?

I do that shit for free

[craggy marsh]

Yeah

I dont need money to cleave people

I do it on instinct

[zealous meteor]

or hire a tank to wipe the party with a tb

wait

[rain geode]

another PF bites the dust another listing follows

[dreamy whale]

GREAT NEWS CHAT

I'm upgrading my phone

[rain geode]

So the percent is obviously how far we got on the phase but what do the colors on the percent mean?

[versed kayak]

its just color coding the %

[dull drum]

i think the color code follows the same criteria as parse btw

[rain geode]

ah I see all the 50s are green the blue is 40s

[thin tartan]

100th percentile = gold
99th percentile = pink
95-98th percentile = orange
75-94th percentile = purple
50th-74th percentile = blue
25-50th percentile = green
sub 25th percentile = gray

[rain geode]

still learning how to read these tools as its a lot of info

[dull drum]

just depends on what exactly you're looking for

depending on what it is you can cut out like 80% of whats on screen half the time

[rain geode]

Might be time to re-up the osrs sub so I have something to play while waiting

[versed kayak]

can also try gw2, its free

[rain geode]

Im looking for something thats easily droppable at a moments notice which unless you doing fights OSRS is

[shy obsidian]

GW2 has horizontal progression, so you really don’t miss much if you go on a hiatus

[versed kayak]

gw2 is aswell tbh, its a lot of overworld stuff

[rain geode]

nah I mean like I want something to play while Im waiting for PF to fill

[shy obsidian]

Ah.

[versed kayak]

I started playing it while waiting for PFs to fill

[remote gate]

how does gear progression work for gatherers

like should I get orange scripts gear for my gatherers first just to get them caught up or is there something else i do

[dreamy whale]

GAH DAMN WHEN DO I MEET THIS BADDIE

[vast jacinth]

Moomoo now i want tiramisu

[dreamy whale]

Don't its a trap

[vast jacinth]

Theres never too much tiramisu

Nuuh my italian family restaurant down the road does bomb tiramisu

[worn bluff]

i thought it was omega F for a sec

[valid solar]

why is bro in endgame lounge if he's in post shb

[random needle]

Old content group is finally making progress again now that we're out of e8s, we cleared Ruby Weapon EX today and we'll probably clear Emerald EX if we don't have 19 deaths like we did this time

[vast jacinth]

emerald good old time

exploding orbs

magnets

[random needle]

Ruby felt unusually easy

It was surprisingly hard getting people to understand "put your meteors on 1, A, 2, B, etc." did not mean "put meteors on 1 2 3 4" though

[low hearth]

diamond weapon is peak

[random needle]

Diamond is gonna be... interesting with the teleporters

[rapid whale]

i rec crafting or gathering

[vast jacinth]

One of my favourite fights still hehe

[rapid whale]

https://tenor.com/view/teleport-goku-dragon-ball-z-dbz-anime-gif-17622607

[versed kayak]

because they tried uwu

[dapper zealot]

Sapphire weapon when

oh wait that was the solo instance

[rain geode]

Technically thats what Id be doing if I renew my osrs sub lmao

and theres our first high end clear

[rapid whale]

congratssa

did you have fun

[rain geode]

It was a lot more fun when I wasnt getting wiped by the same guy over and over Ill admit

third parties the charm I suppose

Might try tanking it tommorow

[thin tartan]

whatd you wipe to

towers?

[rain geode]

Almost every wipe was to the tank swap

the double tank swap in particular

[trim frost]

of course it was

[rain geode]

First Party had a tank who just, didnt know how to play the game.
Second Party had a tank who vaguely knew how it worked but was over thinking the solve
Third Party had the same tank from the Second but he promised he figured it out (and tbf he did)

Ironically Party 3 actually had the tank from the first one but the one who knew what they were doing.

[kind elm]

my brain cant parse this msg

speaking in riddles

two of us lie, one tells tge truth ahhh

[rain geode]

sometimes I see people talk about the color of their parse, whats that all about

[rapid whale]

@rain geode

this

[rain geode]

Ah how do you find that then?

[rapid whale]

should be on the log on tomestone

if you click dmg on the log itself it should also show

[rain geode]

oh is it just that number on the left?

[rapid whale]

yea

[rain geode]

gotcha so the goal is get it as close to 100 as possible

[wheat marsh]

if you're going for top parse yes, but other than efficiency/fast time, it doesn't give you any other tangible benefit

[rapid whale]

100 itself is usually a lot of very specific stuff with strats centered around you

[rain geode]

sure thats why Im saying close and not exactly 100 itself anyway guess its not like it actually matters

[rapid whale]

yaya

[wheat marsh]

98% of people will take consistent clears over top parse. the rare 2% that actually care about being in top 1% are... something else, usually

[torn kindle]

Anything above a 95th is basically crit rng tbh

Or in the case of healers, making your co-healer do most of the work

[raw sand]

good ol chadding

[jolly flume]

people who can consistently clear can usually also parse better than dogshit too it's not a one or the other kind of thing

generally i'd say if you're averaging purples you're pretty solid on fundamentals

depends on gear in savage and whatnot of course but all else held equal that's a pretty good spot to aim for

[dreamy whale]

Hi chat

What's your favorite panic at the disco song

[dreamy whale]

Its a pop punk band

[hot rose]

Should I finally enter my TANK era and main a tank for 7.4 savage

Hmmmm decisions 🤔

For the record ive never tanked in high end content. But i’ve legit played every role lol

I feel like id be bad at it for some reason 🤣💀

[hot rose]

Is this ragebait? 😭😭

[novel garden]

I have thought the same thing but it also doesn't help I'm starting to get a bit bored of dps

[hot rose]

I’m just tryn figure out which tank cause im really ok with any of them

[novel garden]

Just go with what ur most comfy with being okay with any is alright but finding one that u can feel more comfortable in won't give u the shakes when u miss something in the higher end content

[dull drum]

i just realized that reaper has the worst raid buff in its class

[proper cave]

Two gcds lol

[tulip anvil]

the worst lootmaster, this is m8s

[dull drum]

what do you expect the weapons worthless

gear value fell like a rock after they said no 7.3 ulti

[tulip anvil]

not worth the effort

you get more from doing anythig else

any other merc party

its been up for about 20 minutes now and i expect nobody to join

[dull drum]

yeah but how long does it take to fill/actually do

i see merc prog in TOP

never fills

5 mil to see one mechanic

its 90% trap

at least for m8 the fight is so piss easy after p1 i can sleep

[dull drum]

or alternate:

2 hour fill but one of the helpers is a fucking clown griefs so hard that i have to blacklist and unironically warn people how bad they are

cant they reported because their selling not buying

[valid solar]

no they're definitely buying

they're just paying a real shit price

[versed kayak]

I assume they're giving 25k to each person for a clear

[boreal pumice]

25k is literally pennies

[versed kayak]

not even worth the world travel

[valid solar]

1 roulette worth of gil in exchange for dsr totem

[boreal pumice]

and sad part is the roulete would be faster

[random needle]

Even if you cleared on the first pull, too 💀

[vast jacinth]

Do you ever kill on first pull lmao

[random needle]

Not DSR, but I did clear first pull on UCoB twice in a row before

[amber fable]

Maybe

You do it day in and out

[random needle]

For DSR specifically, I'd count walling after p1 and fresh pulling Thordan as one pull, though I think that's standard anyway

[vast jacinth]

That is standard xD

P1 is the yea ok lets get to checkpoint thing xD

[wicked delta]

God

I wish

I remember wiping on P1 for like 30-40 minutes in PF once

[vast jacinth]

I know PF is rng

whoa... good friend....

would love to have those one day

[random needle]

ex5 is easy I promise

PF is just. Real bad at it

[amber fable]

So pf is pf

[random needle]

MM2 is impossible content

[sick dirge]

kill them

[pine holly]

Pf was supremely bad at it. I wasn't super invested in it so only went cause a few members of my static wanted to do it.

And the two parties we did would have the one person who wasn't in our vc just murdering people

I think the rest of them went to do it after I lost interest and posted logs of a black mage doing half the damage of the tanks

Its literally just normal mode with some stacks

[spice path]

It was the cross or w/e its called that parties couldn't do from what I recall. 99% of parties couldn't even get to mm2

[pine holly]

Oh that extreme, I misread. Necron?

Yeah pf was also bad at that

Took a bit to get a party where mm2 wasn't a meme.

[random needle]

Grand Cross, but it got mildly easier once Hector explained the secret pattern (intercard safe until 2 lasers, then cardinal safe until 3 lasers)

[loud nymph]

Grand cross is legitimately so easy with that explanation

[pine holly]

Downside of progging dsr is that I haven't been too invested in progging anything else when it comes out.

[zealous meteor]

https://xkcd.com/2347/

xkcd: Dependency

Someday ImageMagick will finally break for good and we'll have a long period of scrambling as we try to reassemble civilization from the rubble.

hector

[pine holly]

Grand Cross was brainless with that explanation, like close to an actually braindead solution

[spice path]

You'd be surprised how many people still fail.

[pine holly]

Oh I wouldn't be, I saw it

[random needle]

MM2 is also so utterly simple, you just learn the order of spots your role goes to and you just... go there

[pine holly]

Its pretty much the only mech to really learn your spot for.

[random needle]

But if you had an uptime party, people would do normal. If you had a normal party, people would do uptime. Or the tanks wouldn't bait the cleaves properly. Or some bullshit that meant the enums weren't taken care of and everyone dies

[spice path]

With mm2 there is a lot of people who expect the uptime version, then get smacked when its not uptime and vice versa... and the pfs never specify, and no one reads when it does lol

[random needle]

And it's like 10 minutes into the fight, so when you inevitably fail, it's baaaack to the start

[loud nymph]

pf expecting the uptime strat is kinda funny to me because it's not like a single melee losing three GCDs for MM2 is gonna be the difference between clearing or not

but also like

why don't people just communicate with their PFs

[spice path]

The dps check is almost non existent even on day 1.

[pine holly]

You're killing Necron well before an enrage is even possible

You do MM2. He repeats some mechs, then he does Grand Cross AGAIN, then repeats some mechs. Then enrage

[loud nymph]

yeah that's what I mean if you're seeing enrage with normal MM2 then you fucked up something fierce and uptime isn't gonna make that difference

so just use your words

[spice path]

Week 1 he was dying before second cross. Pf has issues with listening and reading chat lol

[pine holly]

I never even saw Necrons enrage cast, that's how long it takes. With Zelenia I at least saw her enrage cast on the first kill

[vestal hollow]

I hope ex6 is good

train weapons

[loud nymph]

I liked ex4 but the enrage in that fight was pretty generous too

[vestal hollow]

ex4 made me feel unwell

[pine holly]

Hey that'll be the first extreme where I don't have to use pf at all.

[vestal hollow]

floor aside

i just didnt like it

ex4 is the rubicante of this expansion for me

[loud nymph]

train better be fun

[spice path]

Do we consider the MH EX to be ex6 or is it just no number

[pine holly]

I didn't like that the majority of my mistakes in ex4 was because I couldn't see anything

[boreal pumice]

necron so easy it can be 4 maned

[loud nymph]

it's just no number

[random needle]

I'm hoping I like the next EX song better

Ex4 and 5 had alright themes but I get kinda sick of them after a while

[vestal hollow]

it doesnt give wings so no number

[loud nymph]

I think necron is the rubicante of this expansion for me tbh

[spice path]

It does give a mount tho doesnt it? The cart?

[pine holly]

Oh is it Doom Train for the next extreme? I must've missed that in the live letter talk

[vestal hollow]

yes it is

[boreal pumice]

they both spin wheels

[loud nymph]

built up and full of hype but in actuality the fight kinda lowkey sucks

[boreal pumice]

yep doom train

[random needle]

... Now that I think about it, what theme could ex6 have? We've already got a number of FF8 themes from Eden

[pine holly]

Okay that's unironically kinda rules, nice

[loud nymph]

yeah to be clear it's hell train from ff8 not doom train from ff6

so no suplexing it

but it should be cool hopefully

[spice path]

Man with a machine gun or something

[random needle]

And you never actually fight Doom Train in 8 iirc, it's a GF you unlock by other means

[pine holly]

Well in 6 it's the ghost train

[random needle]

... Wait you're cooking

[loud nymph]

oh right I'm getting the names mixed up

[pine holly]

Yeah in 8 you...make it i think?

I actually forget how you get Doom Train

[random needle]

Soken, music team, give me a remix of Man With The Machine Hun and my life is yours

[pine holly]

I think you literally assemble it with parts

[loud nymph]

this would actually rule

[boreal pumice]

you get solomon ring then you get a bunch of items use the ring then get doom train

[random needle]

Something about interacting with a ring with 6 of 3 different items? It's kinda demonic-themed, because it was originally named Glasya Labolas in JP

[pine holly]

Something something "I hate remixes" Reddit thread incoming

[pine holly]

Yes there we go

[random needle]

Not to be confused with Glasya Labolas as seen in Syrcus Tower

[loud nymph]

we still need our remix of The Dark Messenger

[boreal pumice]

and if you want hints you gotta read magazines kinda like how you find pupu and ufos

[loud nymph]

Soken plz

[boreal pumice]

we will we will rock you

[pine holly]

If I ever get my dream job of doing a final fantasy fighting game. Sabins ultimate is 100% just going to be him suplexing the opponent on a train track and running at 200 mph to grab the Ghost Train and suplex it on top of them. It can't be anything else

[random needle]

With any luck, the 7.5 trial is gonna be our equivalent of Trance Kuja? 😳 👉 👈

[loud nymph]

God please

[vestal hollow]

Kuja would be in arcadion, no?

m12 is still most likely an unknown

[loud nymph]

there's 4 new characters on the 7.4 Arcadion poster so

[vestal hollow]

yes but two of them look like they may have the same aesthetic and thus be together in a fight

[loud nymph]

we'll have to see how that works out especially if they are going to somehow bring hector back again for a third match

[vestal hollow]

we havent had a double boss encounter this raid yet

[loud nymph]

true

[pine holly]

Nah I think Calyx is the Kuja equivalent

[vestal hollow]

the highlander and bunboy both look like surfer dudes

id wager theyre m10

[loud nymph]

a true duo fight for m10 would be pretty fuckin hype I gotta say

[vestal hollow]

it would put the melezen as m11

[loud nymph]

we haven't had an actual duo fight since uhhhh

[vestal hollow]

and then m12 would be open for the chairman

[pine holly]

Hector should've just memed about the boss name during the m7 video. "Now you face the ultimate foe, Hector"

[vestal hollow]

garuda/ifrit

[loud nymph]

yeah

[random needle]

I feel like the beach boys being a tag team match would go hard

[loud nymph]

femezen for m9, beach boys for m10, malezen for m11

[vestal hollow]

they're clearly putting the "less serious" character as the 2nd fight of every tier so i think thats a reasonable guess

[loud nymph]

also Arcadion is wrestling and we haven't had an actual tag team fight yet, not really

Hector clones don't count

[vestal hollow]

i have no idea what souls they could use though, i was thinking theyd have to be notable hunt mark souls like ixion

i dont think theyre gonna do the four basic primals again

[loud nymph]

I still say femezen being red haired means she will be red chocobo

it needs to happen

sqex please

[versed kayak]

We're surely not fighting ifrit for the 5th (or 7th) time

[vestal hollow]

im guessing she's gonna be pentheslia

or however you spell her name

THAT would be fanservice

[random needle]

Ifrit doesn't technically have a soul though, does he? Being a primal and all

[versed kayak]

Penthesilea apparently

[versed kayak]

True

[loud nymph]

FFXIV make an arena that isn't a perfect circle or square challenge [impossible]

[worn bluff]

imagine like e4s but it's a rubix cube

[loud nymph]

(at least m8sp2 was different)

[zealous meteor]

gotcha. last floor of heavyweight will be an oval

[whole estuary]

Hey, EW alliance raid had a triangle

And a hand

[jolly flume]

there was a triangle?

[thin tartan]

can we jump across spinning star shaped platform and fall into a triangle hole

[loud nymph]

alliance raid 3

[jolly flume]

I only remember azeyma's funny little knockback triangle

[zealous meteor]

althyk

[jolly flume]

oh

yeah that dude

[random needle]

They should make a hexagon

[jolly flume]

holy forgettable though

[worn bluff]

monkey's paw curls. you get a unique arena but it's p7s

[whole estuary]

A TEST OF YOUR WISDOM

[loud nymph]

fuck

[random needle]

Is p10s a unique arena shape

[jolly flume]

quite

[worn bluff]

the alliance raids have had some different shaped arenas. llymlaen too

[loud nymph]

Yeah but p10s was peak so that's to be expected

[worn bluff]

wait why did we get azeyma hair but not llymlaen

[dreamy whale]

I wanna do menphina

[zealous meteor]

€30 on cash shop

please enjoy it

[random needle]

m7s has a square, then a rectangle, then another square

[worn bluff]

gimme this hair

[random needle]

If you wanna count the river/lava part of m6s, that's sorta unique? For one mechanic?

[jolly flume]

how much gel did it take to do that I wonder

[whole estuary]

Aether has many uses

Watch and learn!

[random needle]

Does she need gel, or does her hair just Do That

[jolly flume]

where did that colossal thing come from?

FLY TRUE!

[worn bluff]

[loud nymph]

not bad, not bad. but we've scarcely begun!

[worn bluff]

everyone 5 seconds into M8N "MATT MERCER???"

[random needle]

Can you fend off a pack of wolves?

[kind elm]

i still think this guy sounds literally nothing like him

thats my hot take

[random needle]

I've heard Matt Mercer before but I can never place his voice

[dreamy whale]

I didn't like that dungeon with the rubiks cube

[zealous meteor]

I do like toying with my prey...

[random needle]

Mt. Gulg? It was peak though

:)

[dreamy whale]

Why is viper easier than warrior bruh

[random needle]

Viper is for the people who can't play on patch day without autorotation /s

[trim frost]

imo warrior harder to mess up

[worn bluff]

me leveling WAR "where are the buttons"

[trim frost]

you can absolutely fuck your dps output by dropping combo buffs on vpr

[kind elm]

i eated them :(

[trim frost]

-100 potency on almost everything

[worn bluff]

it's funny that the balance mentors made a 2 min window infographic for VPR

[jolly flume]

no...I will not lose. I need more power!

fenrir's unbound might!

good one discord

[worn bluff]

[versed kayak]

I kinda forgot how big they were until I got P1N after doing a bunch of M3
Boss model is the same size but holy fuck the hitbox size on P1

[trim frost]

i needed that genuinely

[whole estuary]

I hope the next dps has even less buttons at 70

[trim frost]

bc i couldn’t figure out the optimal timing to fit the double reawaken into party buffs

[whole estuary]

It makes eureka more fun by letting me watch a second monitor

[loud nymph]

Egads! The ring's been destroyed, and they've fallen below!

[random needle]

This existing at the same time as pre-7.3 RPR is insanity to me

[jolly flume]

Now I fight with everything I have!

[worn bluff]

i kind of miss the jank of old RPR but maybe that's just the stockholm syndrome

[trim frost]

remind me when the first fanfest is again

[loud nymph]

april

like late April I think

[kind elm]

we can have a fanfest at my place whenever u want

[jolly flume]

will there be pizza

[kind elm]

depends

[boreal pumice]

it will be pineapple

[jolly flume]

fine by me

[wicked delta]

same

[jolly flume]

jank is fun to play around sometimes

completely frictionless jobs are kinda boring

[loud nymph]

it can be very fun to succeed in spite of jank

jank is why I prefer dark souls and ds2 to ds3

old smn had a lot of jank but it was also satisfying to get right

new smn is undoubtedly more user friendly but it also lost that satisfying feeling of doing everything right for big dps

[jolly flume]

that's why sage is boring as shit and scholar is fun to me

that's what I mean when I say jobs play themselves for you

[worn bluff]

RPR having 0-1 GCDs of leeway after 2 minute before their combo drops was interesting

[loud nymph]

BLM used to have jank with needing to manually weave enochian in order to f4 in fire phase

did it get undoubtedly more user friendly when that was removed? sure

did it feel better to play without that? I would say no

[jolly flume]

shit I've heard people call bard jank for not wanting to run each song to its full length lol

[worn bluff]

i also liked that RPR had a little bit of setup going into 2 minute

[versed kayak]

those people just want the game to play itself

[worn bluff]

or rather it kind of started its sequence early

[boreal pumice]

but they still line up and its only mage your cutting short

[worn bluff]

starting 2 minute sequence during the dark messenger knockback in P11 felt kind of cool

[loud nymph]

that's one of the things that appealed to me about pre DT NIN too, the build up to your burst

[dreamy whale]

I want to get more into melee dps it's just scary

[loud nymph]

oh thinking of NIN, here's another great example

tcj

[dreamy whale]

complicated and fast rotations

[thin tartan]

tcj in chain lightning

[loud nymph]

it's undoubtedly more user friendly now that you can move during it

but it's so much less satisfying

[jolly flume]

primal rend in chain lightning

[loud nymph]

tcj during superchain 1 in p12s

it felt so fucking good to get right

[thin tartan]

oh my god

[jolly flume]

I still think the tcj change was stupid

[worn bluff]

i regret never trying the funny safe spot in chain lightning

[thin tartan]

dude i tried to do tht once

LOL

[loud nymph]

it was

[thin tartan]

you HAVE to stand stil lwhen using tcj

even now

[versed kayak]

to be fair, having it cancelled because the game thinks you havent stopped yet kinda sucks, I didnt have that issue, but I can see why its annoying

[loud nymph]

it's a lot easier to use now, and that makes the job a lot less fun to me, because you're no longer restricted

[thin tartan]

oh

that cancel thing

woul dhappen if you were on high ping

[versed kayak]

ye

[thin tartan]

and i remmeber it happening to me a few times

[loud nymph]

that's fair

[thin tartan]

but still

it doesnt hit right

tht you can move

[worn bluff]

make it a mini leyline and you have cast times during TCJ

[loud nymph]

as with all things in FFXIV the solution to high latency is "don't be on high latency" because square enix takes a fucking sledgehammer approach to these things

[thin tartan]

LOL

[dreamy whale]

Hi chat

Its weird being able to double weave

Ping be pinging

[loud nymph]

noclippy is life changing

or at least game changing

[dreamy whale]

Oh I don't have noclippy

I just moved back to NA

[wicked delta]

Ikr

[limpid edge]

Happy Tuesday

[kind elm]

[limpid edge]

Their solution is "what solution"?

[loud nymph]

yeah because they genuinely don't see a problem because it works just fine for JP servers

[dreamy whale]

"Why would we add a server closer to east coast? Just live in California idiot"

[zealous meteor]

me neither

[tepid briar]

tbf I don't think any multiplayer game is good at high latency

[zealous meteor]

[hides my bun behind a crate]

[dreamy whale]

Worms

[tepid briar]

okay but that's not a latency sensitive game... unless you count the scuffed moving phase lol

[kind elm]

theres absolutely methods to mitigate it or make it more bearable though

[limpid edge]

Some much better than others

[kind elm]

take fighting games

[versed kayak]

from what I've heard, supposedly the arcsys fighting games are decent at it

[dreamy whale]

Lol

[kind elm]

arguably the most latency dependent genre

[tepid briar]

for sure but this is SE who can't even add more housing item limits

[kind elm]

Rollback Netcode makes playing between regions a hell of a lot nicer

[tepid briar]

I'm surprised the game is standing

[dreamy whale]

Imagine getting rollbacked into an aoe tank buster at the end of FRU

[kind elm]

yes thats what we are saying

[limpid edge]

Real time games obv gonna be harder but something like ff14 combat doesn't have to be

[tepid briar]

true

[wicked delta]

ma'am where is your everything

[wicked delta]

yup

lol

[jolly flume]

yeah my friend was walking around with an air anchor sticking out of his crotch

[valid solar]

its my fault for playing mch tbh

[proper cave]

At least getting the reaper avatar stuck to your head was funny

But yeah you’ll have to log out to fix it

[valid solar]

I see

kinda strange that not even forcing a character redraw with penumbra fixes it

btw just making sure im not crazy the actual thing itself that launches drill/air anchor/chainsaw is called the multitool right

I said the word multitool earler and people were like "what are you talking about"

[dull drum]

yes

[proper cave]

I don’t think it has a name? But all of the tools aside from the turret and Queen come from it so that’s what people decided.

[whole estuary]

is that Zelda Wildbreath?

he's just building his Li+ battery powered horrors

Looking up removed buttons on a whim

Why exactly did this exist for two whole expacs

[jolly flume]

for the bit

plus im sure someone out there liked double dotting with it

for one reason or another

[valid solar]

rolo or mentor roulette

[jolly flume]

kinda funny that they removed kaeshi bana and then also changed tsubame so that it would've been fine to keep though

[wicked delta]

rolo

DSR p6, I guess

[boreal pumice]

[random needle]

You can target both BJ and CC in TEA p2, right?

[zealous meteor]

bakool ja and crystalline conflict....

[loud nymph]

SMN did too

[dreamy whale]

Smn still does, no?

[loud nymph]

No, because SMN no longer has dots

[random needle]

Wait no, that's probably considered sneaking around the censor, I shouldn't say that

[loud nymph]

don't need a way to spread DoTs when you don't have DoTs anymore

[dreamy whale]

Maybe im thonking of sch

[zealous meteor]

sch has a way to spread dots in pvp

not pve

sage has an aoe dot

[random needle]

Deployment tactics in PvE is just for shield spread

[zealous meteor]

do we plan on doing any content today

[jolly flume]

and then content on the weekend maybe

[valid solar]

dr eggman

[dreamy whale]

I will wait to do uwu and other ultimates until I have completed current savage

And then I will do fru first

[valid solar]

honestly atp it might be faster to do uwu and just wait for next tier

[dreamy whale]

John Moomoo is traumatized

I need more.practice

In hardcore content

[valid solar]

the best practice is slamming your head into the wall repeatedly

keep doing uwu

[random needle]

The only way to break the wall is to keep running into it until it breaks, or you do

I think I did UCoB with no experience aside from a couple of the DT EX fights, I'd have to check if I did ex5 before or after cob, but the important thing is that I kept going even with how tough it was

[loud nymph]

unironically this

[jolly flume]

I wonder if I can still see my first few logs in cob

[steep narwhal]

no ur too old

[valid solar]

I parsed an excellent 2 on my first uwu clear

[steep narwhal]

this is true

[dreamy whale]

It's too scary fr

[jolly flume]

oh my oldest logs are archived now

[random needle]

Okay I just checked, I cleared cob like a week before ex5

[jolly flume]

and I dropped my ffl sub

[loud nymph]

I have never cleared an ultimate so I can't speak to that haha

[dreamy whale]

[steep narwhal]

u need to js die

to learn

[jolly flume]

[valid solar]

helpful person btw

[dreamy whale]

Imagine they make an addon so you can see who's blacklisted you

[valid solar]

dont need an addon to check if bl

plenty of ingame ways

[loud nymph]

and my ShB savage clears appear to no longer be there

[boreal pumice]

no we dont need or want that

[loud nymph]

sadge

[jolly flume]

chat do I pay $5 just to see my old log once

[valid solar]

I can guess the parse for 3$

[loud nymph]

wonder if it's because I name changed back in early EW

[dreamy whale]

ok what do we think takes less time

[valid solar]

unironically ? uwu

[dreamy whale]

Fr?

[jolly flume]

[valid solar]

im decently certain you can clear uwu faster than you can prog current tier

[dreamy whale]

I can get to dawntrail endgame in 3 weeks

[valid solar]

because uwu is kind of easier

[steep narwhal]

js do uwu

[dreamy whale]

If uwu is easier I dont wanna know what top or dsr is like

[steep narwhal]

savage prog pf is dead

@jolly flume do u wanna know how fucked up my studying is

i typed a word and google docs is telling me it's misspelled

but it's spelled correctly

[loud nymph]

"uwu is the easiest ultimate" means it's only the 6th hardest fight in the game

it's still going to kick your shit in because it's still an ultimate

[valid solar]

ngl

might be lower than 6th

[dreamy whale]

[random needle]

DSR is fun I promise :3

[loud nymph]

I mean you could argue that if you wanted but point is people see "uwu is easiest ultimate" and that think it means "uwu is easy"

which for people not accustomed to ultimate level content

it ain't

[dreamy whale]

I'll just wait until next tier and prog savage

[valid solar]

why

[steep narwhal]

why

[dreamy whale]

[rapid whale]

but you have something you want to do and can do

[valid solar]

we are gonna peer pressure you into doing uwu

[rapid whale]

if anyhting, doing uwu will better prepare you for next savage

[jolly flume]

solid fifteenth

[valid solar]

just thought you should know

[steep narwhal]

u know ur gona be in the same loophole when ur in savage too

[dreamy whale]

I realized I'm missing crazy ass knowledge integral to raiding

[steep narwhal]

yeah

ur still gonna be missing some crazy ass knowledge

[loud nymph]

that's how it goes

[steep narwhal]

if ur not practicing

lol

[rapid whale]

that'll still happen if you jump into savage next tier, the pain is part of the process

[dreamy whale]

True

[loud nymph]

only way to get that knowledge is by doing

[random needle]

Now I'm curious what your list is like

[loud nymph]

try, fail, try again, fail again

keep trying

keep failing

[random needle]

But yeah, the only way to learn to raid well is to study, try, fail, learn from that failure, and repeat

[steep narwhal]

if u r scared of failing ffxiv is not for u

bc ffxiv u learn

by failing

and if u arent willing to fail

u arent willing to learn how to raid

[zealous meteor]

i'm not scared of failing. i'm scared of disappointing others

[random needle]

And eventually, when you've died in every possible way imaginable to a mechanic, you'll figure it out

And then you'll do it again for the next one

[dreamy whale]

This is me

[rapid whale]

they do not give a fuck about u

anyway i got seiryu to like 46%. i'm ready for uwu right /s

[steep narwhal]

they do not care abt this random in the party dying bc theyre too busy not dying

[jolly flume]

I just pulled a number out of my ass but like at minimum every other ultimate, a few of the final savage turns, every criterion savage, and q40 are all harder

[random needle]

And the next one, and the next one, until you reach the final phase, dodge the last Exaflare, and watch that HP tick down to 0.1% and the screen go black as the achievement pops

[steep narwhal]

like they literally all

do not give a fuck about u

[wicked delta]

most important part of raiding in ffxiv is that you are not as important as you think you are

[steep narwhal]

unless ur like griefing before prog point

[wicked delta]

[steep narwhal]

they do NOT give a fuck

[loud nymph]

as someone who suffers from that same anxiety I know how it felt to think "oh God I fucked this thing up everyone is judging me"

[jolly flume]

ok to be fair this is the case like 90% of the time

[steep narwhal]

or if they cleared and joined as "helper" and they r straight ASSS

[random needle]

Yeah, if you join a Suppression party for uwu and are regularly trolling Ifrit several pulls in a row, people might take umbrage

But if you're in Ifrit prog? Dying there is completely expected

[steep narwhal]

like if ur dying in a fresh prog

no one care

if ur at p2 prog and dying at p2

no one care

literally no one care

[rapid whale]

https://tenor.com/view/just-do-it-shia-la-beouf-do-it-gif-4531935

no one in pf cares abt u ur not tht important to them

they dont care

[rapid whale]

nihilism fuck yeah

[loud nymph]

be the cat

[random needle]

Yeah, you'll still have the occasional goof in earlier phases even in clear/farm parties, whether that be from a brief loss of focus, getting a bad pattern for a mechanic, or someone's hamster dying

Just shake it off and do your best to not have it happen again
