Tired af

Tried progging DSR yesterday

[daring pine]

you and me both

[wicked delta]

Went horribly

[daring pine]

my 8s prog also went horribly

kinger can confirm

did you spend 3 hours trying to fill a second pf after the first one exploded only for the warrior to be afk and for the sage to just leave

[loud nymph]

it did in fact go horribly

[wicked delta]

Literally

Yes

LOL

[loud nymph]

we saw TR once in like 3 hours

[wicked delta]

Well like

[daring pine]

bro what

[wicked delta]

We sat in PF right

First party fills

[daring pine]

hey guys so TR prog means that we ideally get to TR and then resolve it

not see ito nce

[wicked delta]

Sage is like sorry my dog ate my grandma after a few pulls and leaves

Warrior just keeps trolling through pulls

Bapple literally blacklisted them

[daring pine]

dude

[wicked delta]

Bc they kept killing ppl by not clicking off their inner release or some shit

The thing that prevents KB

[daring pine]

we got to TR and then a support fucked it by dropping their aoe on the dps

????

how do u do that

go to ur spot idiot

[wicked delta]

[robust shoal]

time to climb in the ring

[wicked delta]

Im climbing out of the ring

Into my bed

And crying myself to sleep

[robust shoal]

many such cases

[daring pine]

i would like to

[wicked delta]

[daring pine]

actually get some fucking prog so i can continue enjoying this fight

otherwise this is gonna end up like my m7s experience

[jade nimbus]

You doing m8s?

[daring pine]

yes

[loud nymph]

I think the funniest part of last night

we saw TR on that very first pull and I was like "oh this is gonna be some good prog"

and then

never saw it again

[wicked delta]

I just chilled in vc with Bapple and Bungo after the DSR prog

Well

Only Bapple really

Because Bungo fucking FELL ASLEEP

[daring pine]

when is bungo ever awake

[robust shoal]

also many such cases

[daring pine]

praying i can get friends in my pf tonight because i hate these subhuman creatures in pf

pissing me off

wdym we saw tr once

[wicked delta]

Many such cases

[daring pine]

happiest rdm player

[wicked delta]

I gotta draw today but

#lazy

[daring pine]

what u drawing

[wicked delta]

I overslept so im essentially skipping lectures rn

[wicked delta]

Beautiful black woman

[daring pine]

oh hell yeah

@loud nymph i'll be going again tonight (duh) at the same time-ish so feel free to hop in if you feel like it

this cat is so funny

@wicked delta jumping

[wicked delta]

I told Chiyo about an experience I had with a neighbor

He keeps bringing it up in vc now and I was like

https://tenor.com/view/ishowspeed-meme-trying-not-to-laugh-laugh-homeless-gif-9458928528704746136

[daring pine]

rev reign is impossible guys

• some tank, somewhere after clipping me for the trillionth time

tanks after clipping me during millennial decay

clipping me everywhere actually

i love dodging the aoe by a fucking pixel

[wicked delta]

The healers I was playing with kept trolling at strength

It was so bad

[daring pine]

tobi

this was last session right

and i was happy with that

[wicked delta]

Thats still rough lmao

[daring pine]

and then this one was just

bruh

[daring pine]

pf :)

oh you should have seen my first session bro

hold on

[wicked delta]

I mean

I think I saw it live

With Chiyo n Bappol

[daring pine]

prob

[wicked delta]

Whm kept trolling bc its too hard

[daring pine]

inshallah i will not get dogshit people tonight

[daring pine]

whm dying to stonefang

lol

lol

whm running to h2's spot for rev reign

xddddddd

[loud nymph]

rev reign is unfortunately impossible content

especially the one you can get after TR

"dodge heads? no thank you"

[daring pine]

would be nice if we actually lived to see that one

[jagged aspen]

can i burst down o8s before towers?

also why did they make every gate boss immediately aggro

3% lol :c

[wicked delta]

With a full party prolly

Idk

[jagged aspen]

nah its just me and my alt, i got it in the end

with pct + dnc buffs

[zealous meteor]

translator's note: keikaku means plan

[pine holly]

Revolutionary Reign kicked my ass during prog, struggled on that shit more than any other mech that fight

[daring pine]

the only issues i’ve had w rev reign is the tanks clipping everyone else

[pine holly]

Yep and I was a tank

[loud nymph]

Revolutionary reign and tanks greeding GCDs which leads to them reign's ending an entire light party

name a more iconic duo

[pine holly]

I wasn't even greeting a gcd during it, I just kept standing in my spot and finding out "nope too close, nope too far in, whoops I ran into the wall somehow while sprinting from the other side of the arena how the fuck"

[dapper moon]

That's just how revo is. Sometimes you feel great for doing it right, other times you realize that experience doesn't necessarily make you look less bumb lol

[robust shoal]

still kinda annoyed how my static got on me for being only 95% consistent at it

[daring pine]

oh yeah no this is perfectly reasonable

but the greedy tanks are just

ermge

[trim frost]

just play pld

never greed

holy spirit mode

[jolly flume]

just play gnb

never greed

lightning shot mode

[loud nymph]

just play phys ranged
what's greed
my dps is awful

[zealous meteor]

just play healer

dropping a gcd doesn't matter because your attacks do 5 damage anyway

[livid grove]

What does gcd stand for again

[jolly flume]

greatest common denominator

(global cooldown)

[zealous meteor]

dropping a gcd is having the the cooldown stop rolling, whether that's because you're a caster and you interrupted a cast or because you just stopped pressing buttons

[stone epoch]

i need help guys
pls
im 2 days trying to get a party to do labyrinth of the ancients
but no one joins
im stuck in the msq
im primal, famfrit

[lyric summit]

its a very populated duty, part of the alliance roulette that tons of people run every day for daily exp bonus, you're either not waiting long enough or queueing at completely dead hours

[rain geode]

Or you don't have English enabled

[valid solar]

this guy thinks he's slick

I see you mf

[boreal pumice]

oh you have eyes in the back of your head now

[novel garden]

Lol group of randoms kept running into those so I just walked up and place markers at location I spotted them

[boreal pumice]

i always go in different directions to ppl on them floors because i have no faith in them

[novel garden]

Didn't help the rdm kept pulling without the tank grabbing aggro I used 4 phoenix downs that day

[livid grove]

What guy?

[quick verge]

who?

[lyric summit]

classic red circle over nothing for clickbait

[trim frost]

where is goku

[valid solar]

if you look closely theres a tiny mr beast

[loud nymph]

I forgot that PT was outdoors shit I was like "uh since when are there invisible enemies outside"

[jolly flume]

desert zone

get me out of amh araeng PLEASE

[versed kayak]

idk why they made half the floors amh araeng

a set of 10 ok, but half the DD

[rain geode]

I mean I wouldnt even mind 20 two sets seems fine but like half of it is crazy

[boreal pumice]

its meant to be a pilgrimage 1-30 is ill mehg , 31-60 is the tempest 61-80 amh arang 81-100 back to ill mehg at the top of the tower

[valid solar]

doesnt ahm start at 50

[livid grove]

I dont see anyone

[boreal pumice]

likely is but i dont pay to much attention i turn my brain off till like floor 70s

[iron jewel]

It's 1-10 Il Mheg, 11-20 Lakeland, 21-40 Tempest, 41-80 Amh Araeng, 81-100 w/e void inbetween place Cyella stayed at (I think it's also technically Lakeland? idfk).

but it aligns with how HoH and EO also have their tilesets split up.

Amh Areng floors are at least better than EO rave caves, tbh.

[lyric summit]

40 is still il mheg I'm pretty sure

same vibes as the last part of 73 dungeon

[boreal pumice]

it underwater

[iron jewel]

I'd actually have to go look, tbh.

[trim frost]

i'm pretty sure 1-30 is all il mheg

31+ is called "distant sanctums" (i.e. not il mheg)

40 is confirmed tempest/kholusia though

and 81+ is lakeland yes

[tulip anvil]

so i was doing TEA last night

and we had a GNB and RPR who were always below the whm

the gnb was always last at every point of the fight for every pull

there was also a viper, he apparently was good but was always below me (a pct) and the dnc

i didnt think viper was that bad in TEA, i thought people were exaggerating

if the dnc didnt give him DP he would never kill his doll in time

[jolly flume]

it's not bad enough to not get your doll down 💀

[trim frost]

i think that may just be a viper player moment

[jolly flume]

unless you m1 and somehow don't know that you can pull your doll away to delay the feed

[tulip anvil]

Also because the melees weren’t good me and the dnc would consistently get the damage difference between liquid and hand over 6%

[wicked delta]

You can kill your doll just fine

On those jobs

Your teammate was just trolling

[tulip anvil]

This may be relevant but I checked all 3 of their logs and they have no ex clears or savage clears

I think they went straight into tea

[trim frost]

its bleak

no fucking wonder i struggled so much trying to get through tea p1

[deep gale]

The spectrum of new-to ulti pf players goes from most cracked player you've ever seen (has never done anything more difficult than an extreme) and the worst player you've ever seen (has cleared every savage tier for the last three expansions)

[jolly flume]

after last night I have hope for even the worst players

4 people with like one clear apiece and single digit greys one pulled fru albeit with horrific damage

[deep gale]

blacklist whm players I think

[jolly flume]

I forget what noble said I think it was "even a blind squirrel sometimes finds a nut"

[deep gale]

[tame shuttle]

Bruh😭

So i have hope

[jolly flume]

not even close

[dreamy whale]

Where do i unlock ce

[random needle]

Cosmic? It's in Sharlayan iirc

[dreamy whale]

Hmm ok

[clear plume]

Vpr does just do statistically 20% less damage than mnk/sam/drg, it’s like 3% below even the no communio rpr

(95th percentile cdps used, but rdps is obviously not helping it either)

[rain geode]

wait I assumed the cluster were daily but they aren't? so your never actually at risk of running out of materia because absolute worse case scenrio you can just spam leveling.

[rapid whale]

i mean

pentamelding is rnf

rng*

ive seen people blow up almost 200 materia for a single slot

[rain geode]

well sure but Im more worried about 12s rn

not gonna bother penta melding until next tier

[rapid whale]

yeah you have a chance at blowing up a ton of 12s too

[rain geode]

I thought you couldnt overmeld 12s

[rapid whale]

1 slot overmeld 12s

then 2 or 3 11s after

[rapid whale]

that's totally enough little buddy 🙂

lemme see if i cant find the one based on ew

should be the same since the % chance is the same but you just replace x with xii

[zealous meteor]

"advanced materia melding slot" is any slot that's not guaranteed/shown when you initially get the item

[jolly flume]

too slow old man

[rapid whale]

fakka yu

[boreal pumice]

yay free money

[jolly flume]

I would prep at least 50% more than that estimate though

[rapid whale]

yeah have to hedge vs bad luck and they sell for the most right after patch hits

[jolly flume]

anything you buy now will like double in price when the patch hits anyways so you can resell

[rapid whale]

nodders realistically if you have enough to invest, you can pentameld for free by selling excess

[boreal pumice]

is this enough?

[rapid whale]

thats what i did for my crafter/gatherers

GO OUTSIDE SHINRA I THOUGHT I HAD A LOT WTF

[jolly flume]

this guy does hunt trains

what a bum

[boreal pumice]

a hunter must hunt

[rapid whale]

bro is gonna spend more time trading them in at the npc than doing the savage tier HOLY

[worldly grotto]

What would you even use all those for?

[rapid whale]

money

[jolly flume]

mr krabs money gif

[worldly grotto]

I would love to see a before and after of Shinra’s gil amount

[rapid whale]

67m to 420m

[jolly flume]

it's gonna look the same because he'll give all the gil to me

I should probably start prepping materia too honestly

[boreal pumice]

i got roughly 150 mil on me now and 250+ mil on retainers

[jolly flume]

I still have a ton of crit and dh left because I pentamelded full spellspeed this tier

[jolly flume]

but idk if I'm gonna do slow or fast next tier

[rapid whale]

gotta go slow for maximum crit shields

a whopping 3% more shield

[wicked delta]

What do you have to offer him

[jolly flume]

why must everything be so transactional with you

cant a guy just get 200m gil for free

[rapid whale]

capitalist pig

[mortal flower]

So true

[wicked delta]

Because I don’t believe in charity

[jolly flume]

horrible human being tbh

I believe in charity

but only when its me getting free stuff

[wicked delta]

When people give me money its not charity its a law made by God

[jolly flume]

well at least it's four weeks of waiting this time so I feel less bad begging someone to make my gear as opposed to making them nolife crafting for a week on a deadline

[clear plume]

If any prior tier is taking a week that’s some shit

[boreal pumice]

having goals is a good thing

[jolly flume]

I have no idea how any of the crafting stuff works I just know my monk complained about timed nodes when I was giving him my tome mats

[boreal pumice]

but thats gathering

[jolly flume]

I have no idea how any of that works either

[clear plume]

Have u tried being friends with Chinese women they love crafting in ffxiv I already got asked if I need a few sets for next tier

[clear plume]

TLDR is you can farm from them once every 24 minutes or so

[wicked delta]

I think he scares women off in general

[boreal pumice]

timed nodes are basicly you can gather from a certain node for 2 hrs in eroeza time so like 5 mins

[jolly flume]

??

nah

[clear plume]

Days are 25 minutes long and they’re open for like 2 hours out of the 24

Not the biggest wall for making a couple sets, annoying for making a ton though

[wicked delta]

[rapid whale]

At least e have three weeks

[boreal pumice]

thing with timed gathering nodes if their one after another it doesnt feel so bad gather hi cordial TP gather repeat

[torn mesa]

here's an example tab of what you need to craft a piece of gear

[clear plume]

Don’t super think it’s worth like, complaining over unless you are asking for 3 sets at once type beats is the general though

[alpine plover]

[wicked delta]

[clear plume]

[jolly flume]

do you typically like

[torn mesa]

vendor - tome
shiny miner/botanist icon - timed node
regular miner/botanist icon - untimed node
3 dots - aetherial reduction; fish or timed miner/botanist nodes

[jolly flume]

need pentamelds to gather/craft that stuff

from the current set

[torn mesa]

no and no

but do you see the craft tab

those are intermediate mats

the worse your gear is

the more HQ intermediate mats you must make

[jolly flume]

could I theoretically do next tier's gear with 7.2 gear and pentas

[boreal pumice]

beside you guys have a extra week b4 savage comes out so really kinda chill times and prices are gonna dip fast af

[jolly flume]

or is that bricked

[alpine plover]

You need the other mats to be hq if you dont have penta... on SOME mats

[torn mesa]

bricked almost certainly

[jolly flume]

ok lol

I figured

[torn mesa]

but current gear + shit melds

works

[alpine plover]

But tbh hardest crafts are the low durability ones anyway

[torn mesa]

it would just take longer, because you have to HQ more mats

[alpine plover]

[torn mesa]

instead of just clicking progress only

[jolly flume]

diadem man...

[alpine plover]

Chiyo go diadem

[torn mesa]

Chiyo

just do GC deliveries everyday

[alpine plover]

Or that

[boreal pumice]

this is harder

[torn mesa]

you'll be very close to levelling gatherers to 100

and not have to shoot yourself doing diadem

[alpine plover]

[rapid whale]

Send them to da moon

[boreal pumice]

send them to phelgma

[wicked delta]

I made so much money off diadem

Lmao

Because nobody likes it

[rapid whale]

does anyone even do it anymore

[worldly grotto]

Berly

[boreal pumice]

i expect some yes for ppl on FT /achivement hunters/ stalling to do ew

[jolly flume]

the instance I was in the other day had like

five people in it total

who can blame anyone for not doing diadem it's the most horrifically boring slop in the entire game

[boreal pumice]

but thats just the gathering portion , people will be outside to insta hand in the crafted stuff

[rapid whale]

i still cant believe they tied true bis to the diadem way back when

[alpine plover]

I grinded it because it's so easy... you have all the mats there

Except a few

But well i havent been to the moon

Not sure how that is in comparison

[rapid whale]

the moon is like a level per quest

until like 50s? then it's like a level every 2 iirc

[boreal pumice]

the moon focuses on one job at a time while diadem makes you use both gathering + the crafter

unless you buy the approved stuff but you end up poor

[rain geode]

but this assumes that every piece is penta melded but you can only do it with crafted gear right?

[rapid whale]

yes

and in general pentamelding isnt really worth doing unless you're aiming for week 1/early clears cuz you'll replace so much gear otherwise by the time you clear

triple m elding is generally high value tho

[rain geode]

Ill hoard what I can to get penta melds but Im not gonna break my back to get it done

[rapid whale]

real talk its gonna be a lot less cuz we'l;l have 4 weeks of tome gear

[wicked delta]

If I get my gatherers all to 100

I can just

Ask a buddy

To craft my gear

[rapid whale]

stares

[wicked delta]

While I get the mats…

[dull drum]

pentameld THIS

[wicked delta]

My botanist is 85 im literally jus lazy

[rain geode]

yeah I was hearing you get a body or legs and a Boots/hands/gloves with enough left over for a acc

[boreal pumice]

tobi is like chiyo just throws the tome mats at ppl

[dull drum]

hear me out right

4 weeks of tomes

[zealous meteor]

[dull drum]

you could arguably not pentameld combat

[zealous meteor]

(i still need to gear my gatherers though)
(and finish melding my crafters)

[boreal pumice]

but my parse

[wicked delta]

Hey ill throw in a quick drawing for the person too

[rapid whale]

yea that plus extreme weapon so it's like 3-4-5? slots that we wont have to penta

[rain geode]

plus if I want to save some gil I can use a few pieces of the normal raid gear instead of the crafted gear since we also will get 4 weeks of that

[rapid whale]

mhm mhm

and again, the pentameld is really only a necessity for those seeking to clear early early

since you replace them immediately with any raid/tome gear

[boreal pumice]

might as use em not like they have any other use

[rain geode]

Thats my thought

[trim frost]

im prob not even gonna bother picking up a crafted weapon

no point

[rain geode]

yeah cause they're will be a better option in an ex weapon right?

[trim frost]

aw hell nah

[boreal pumice]

thats not so bad

[rain geode]

oh the tomes event has started, I should do my allied society then work on that

[rapid whale]

yea barring absolutely terrible sub stats on ex weap but iirc they don't do that knowing you will be doing the ex leading up to savage

like if it was det piety or something

then i thiiiiiiink? a pentamelded craftd would be better but shruge

[rain geode]

Piety Tenacity weapon when

[rapid whale]

8.0 jobs reborn : hybrid roles

[dull drum]

fuck man who made me tank next tier man

this job is fucking impossible

[trim frost]

and the job is warrior

[rain geode]

I like Warrior

[dull drum]

nah thats my mt

i said id drk but honest to god im just gonna gnb

i did OC with gnb so much the dps rotation is stuck in my head

[trim frost]

honestly maybe i should've gnb'd in oc instead of drk

i like to go solo in CEs because im lazy but then when i inevitably get top aggro no one heals me even though everyone's seeing my hp bar

so i just

die from autos

[boreal pumice]

coulnt you just mix it with say knight /chemist to get abit of extra survial

[trim frost]

maxed jobs + they suck

[torn mesa]

turn off stance

[whole estuary]

but then no way to flex and die

[trim frost]

true

real answer is i just forget because i need it on for fates

[clear plume]

You’d still want to use the piety weapon realistically, the damage diff would still be small and piety isn’t useless in prog

Weapon damage still do be king

[rapid whale]

oic

[rain geode]

when im rezzing someone every 40s I wouldnt mind the extra mana I suppose

[deep gale]

nah piety is bait just stop gcding

[clear plume]

You can do both

[torn mesa]

okay but

[clear plume]

Nobody with a 145 iq is playing whm

[torn mesa]

surely the WHM in this meme

should be at the left

[rapid whale]

no thats the point

[clear plume]

Glare glare esuna moment

[torn mesa]

wait

is the left in that picture not an AST?

[sick dirge]

it is

[rapid whale]

funi meme

[rain geode]

I prefer the ones where its SCH on both ends and they go "I cast succor on every raidwide"

[shy obsidian]

hmmm i wonder which job type I should prioritize during the first few weeks

i wonder if I should pick up scholar one of these days...

[rapid whale]

do it coward

[wicked delta]

Bappletrees

[random needle]

In practical terms, with actual players, the WHM would probably be low IQ and the AST high IQ

For the sake of the meme, I put the WHM as high IQ because

1. It subverts the usual expectation of WHM being dumb by instead being the enlightened one
2. The high IQ guy in the original meme is wearing a robe that I could paint over to be WHM robes

In short: I did it cuz funni

[shy obsidian]

Worrying when I need to adloquim and dissipate and seraphism sounds funky ngl

so when is it better to Summon Seraph and when is it better to Seraphism?

[rain geode]

you and me both

[wicked delta]

Wheres the scholar ekitten

@jolly flume

[rain geode]

literally look at my pfp

[deep gale]

300 piety is 16 or 17 (don't remember) MP a tick it's actually so ass, it's just over one extra damage GCDs worth of mana a minute.

[shy obsidian]

can i be an ekitten if I play as a big buff hrothgar 🥺

[random needle]

Seraphism gives you a while longer to have supercharged GCD heals, while Summon Seraph is entirely oGCDs

[shy obsidian]

ideally I want a job I can comfortably play as in every raid cough cough Sugar Riot's Dick Smasher cough cough

healing's fun but NOT in that one particular fight 😭

[wicked delta]

Idk

Its not that hard

Early weeks that was monkas tho

[random needle]

And remember that you get like 3 weeks of tomes this time

[rain geode]

its 4 since you can rush another cap before starting on the tier

If my math is right you get one of each catagory before even going in once
Body/Legs
Head/Gloves/Boots
Accesory

[zealous meteor]

summon seraph is literally just "your fairy's passive healing gives people shields now"
your ogcds don't change except visually

seraphism supercharges your gcd heals, lets you use emergency tactics as much as you want, and gives all party members a 100 potency regen

[shy obsidian]

If there are any annoying mob phases I won't be healing in the first weeks 💔

[shy obsidian]

would Summon Seraph work better in scenarios with a lotta damage over time?

[rapid whale]

kinda goodge for 2 big hits in a row since the active can be used twice and applies a shield iirc

im not a healer main tho so idk

[vapid path]

Yes

[remote gate]

"i may be gay, play on faeire, and be hroth but im not good"

-jeffe, 2025

[rain geode]

It also gives you two stacks of consolation

[vapid path]

The fact you had that on speed dial is crazy

[jolly flume]

seraphism is just seraph with the extra use case that you can pump like 3 million hps with it for 21 seconds

[zealous meteor]

oH yes that exists
completely forgot because it's not mentioned in the summon seraph tooltip

[jolly flume]

for both of them their greatest use case is that you can place the fairy in the middle and hit anyone no matter where they are because consolation is 30y, seraphism is a 50y regen centered on yourself so again it's basically global

[vapid path]

Yeah I kind forgot it did that too

[jolly flume]

you default to seraph/spreadlo for very distant healing, seraphism can be used for it too but it's more important to use it on throughput checks if there is one

[rapid whale]

i imagine the m8s party stack is one of seraphism's biggest use cases?

[remote gate]

i remember all fond moments with my friends including us agreeing that titan is a dei hire

[jolly flume]

that's one of em

for another example idk, p2 seeds in 7 I use it with seraph for global range healing because you can never hit everyone with the rest of scholar's kit and I don't really feel like leaving the ppl furthest from me at the mercy of h1

[shy obsidian]

Being an astrologian AND scholar main is probably super fun honestly

[jolly flume]

it's fun for the week content releases then you go back to looking longingly at the coil of rope you keep under your desk

[rapid whale]

oh yeah the sch is in the corner for that mech huh

[jolly flume]

50/50 if you're close to the party or far from the party

so you just always plan for the worst case

[rapid whale]

consistency is king

[shy obsidian]

cmon these are pubs we're talking about
I'm sure to get at least two deaths to revive per run :D

[rapid whale]

it's me the random death in your pf

[shy obsidian]

M5S is so funny because people there die for the stupidest of reasons and I don't have enough MP during Lightspeed :D

[random needle]

I wish there was a "stfu Picto Ascalon's Might" gif for BLM to represent me, but burst damage is a pipe dream for me so I never take aggro unless the tanks fall over

Closest I have is like

[ember quartz]

yo at which hour does aether usually lock for dc travel?

[sick dirge]

what do you mean our

[rapid whale]

that depends heavily on patch cycle, rn it should be open fairly often but in like a month and a half you're only gonna be able to like early mornings or late late night

[ember quartz]

so for like rn would 10pm est be good?

[rapid whale]

im actually kinda surprised if it isn't available rnrn

cuz there's no content atm

[loud nymph]

yeah I'd be pretty surprised if it was locked now

[daring pine]

kinger its that miserable time of day again

[rapid whale]

10pm est falls under prime time for pst tho so when the savage tier drops, no chance in hell you're geting onto aether at that hr

[rain geode]

kinda

[random needle]

DSR status: we did not see p6 today, but it's becoming increasingly clear that DotH is still not being done consistently. Hopefully we/I can lock in for that and get it down for next time

[undone tide]

guys is it weird to host a fresh party while currently using the given ultimate weapon

don’t want them to know i’m washed

[robust shoal]

ppl will just assume you're helping someone

[undone tide]

party of one

[timber stratus]

just say ur practicing for ur real clear instead of the one u bought

[undone tide]

true

[jolly flume]

this is actually like so common it's kinda funny

I had a party the other day with two people who cleared within the last two weeks but they were in a p3 party dying to quakes in strength

[torn kindle]

Clear for friend

I’m the friend btw

[timber stratus]

buying clears is comically common

any mmo its super common

[jolly flume]

hard to blame them bruh it's 20 hours of effort vs 20 bucks

why try yourself when you can get some sweatlord chinese kid to do it for you

[dreamy whale]

Got turn 2 on my wondrous tales

Time to get this done in 4 minutes

[undone tide]

man i’m really so old i cleared dsr with easthogg

[rain geode]

almost got to do some necorn prog tonight but the party fell apart while only needing one more person so I did my tell retell instead

[trim frost]

are you the sweatlord chinese kid

[jolly flume]

I can be if asked nicely

[trim frost]

pwetty pwease 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

[rain geode]

with a cherry on top

[rapid whale]

come derust p6 with me kekw

nvm we filled

i haven’t touched dsr since like a static trial in 2024

[thin fox]

still 6 weeks until raid

[novel garden]

I can't remember is mathematics moving to where helio tomes or are we just getting a conversion when 7.4 hits? I know I sound dumb asking it but its drawing a blank for me

[dapper zealot]

Gets shifted down

[cerulean crown]

mathematics are becoming uncapped like helio. helio will be unavailable and trade into mathematics

[amber fable]

As always, every new tier makes the capped tomes uncapped and depreciate the uncapped tomes

While releasing new capped tomes

[remote gate]

honest question to the three whm players here, is medica 1 worth using at all in higher content or literally no reason to use it over cure III

had this whm say "im actually in anni prog I know how to heal this fight" when I asked if he could switch his medica 1 to cure III so we could be topped off easier prior to cleanses

and at 70 you have thin air so it's like... why are you concerned about mp cost

[versed kayak]

Presumably if people aren't in range for C3 due to mechanics?

[wicked delta]

Thats the only thing I can think of

[versed kayak]

20y vs 10y for C3

[wicked delta]

Id still sooner go for med 2 regardless

But thats just me

[versed kayak]

probably

[remote gate]

its for garuda cleanses when we are all bunched up together

[versed kayak]

C3 is smaller than asylum even, so I guess if you need immediate heals and people are far away?

lol

well nvm that

[wicked delta]

Then I Dont Know

Lol

[remote gate]

should be said that this whm was spamming medica ii as well

[zealous meteor]

i think that maybe they're not a very good white mage

[wicked delta]

I mean if it works then it works but considering ur talking about it, it did not work

[remote gate]

like couldn't you just do a medica II to quickly get a hot on everyone then use cure III to get everyone back up in less time + gcds

[versed kayak]

I think they're an average white mage tbh

[dapper zealot]

There's no reason to spam m2 lol

[versed kayak]

considering how my experience with whms usually goes

[dapper zealot]

Maybe m2 then m1 if needed

[daring pine]

m2, take it or leave it

back to stone spam

[zealous meteor]

glaring at the enemies until they die

[stone epoch]

what do you guys recommend to level up fast?

im new at the game and just got dark knight

but its taking too long to farm xp

[sick dirge]

if youve already done your daily roulettes, your only real option is dungeon spam

[wicked delta]

Spam the dungeons thats highest level for you

[thin fox]

u can clear tea with it

trust

[valid solar]

doesnt C3 cast on target

not on self

[trim frost]

yeah but if u dont target anyone its on yourself

[valid solar]

so if half the party is on the other side of the arena and only one of them is in range, you can cast it on them and since it originated from them it'll hit the other 3

[trim frost]

and usually you want it to be on yourself because ur a fragile little white mage

[versed kayak]

yeah but if your party is spread five ways that doesn't help all that much

[jolly flume]

c3 is pretty shit ngl

[trim frost]

tbf you don't have rapture at level 70

so medica 1 may have more of a use case if ppl are spread out and medica 2 regen is already up

[valid solar]

if the whm main is saying it, it must be true

[jolly flume]

[valid solar]

I wanna do dsr but dsr pf's only fill at 2am which is also when my brain is too cooked to do mechs properly

[wicked delta]

same for me

lol

[valid solar]

though I think if I get one more consistent meteors party ill be able to hit p3

[random needle]

I just need to be sure I'm well practiced on DotH, it feels like most of my pulls that get to p5 die there

I have the initial movement relatively smooth I think, I just need to be sure I'm consistent with my position and angle for chains

[remote gate]

sapphire are you mentally prepared for p5 and p6

[random needle]

🥀

(I guess this technically wasn't my fault, but my angle was a little sketchy)

[random needle]

p5, I feel pretty good about

p6... it looks like most of it is "follow party", but the parts that aren't scare me a bit

[remote gate]

im progging TEA tonight and im hoping we can get to LC

[random needle]

Especially Wroth Flames and WB2

[low hearth]

annoying ahh mech

It’s just the gaze though fr

[random needle]

"annoying" is harsh, it's cool, I just wanna stop dying to it

The sheer aura of the Heavensward music drop hitting during the mech blows, like, everything from UCoB out of the water

[remote gate]

whats your opinion on Heroes

[low hearth]

yea the Heavensward theme goes hard asf during that part

[jolly flume]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7z3k4tOnXBU

lol

lmao even

[low hearth]

It’s tilting when I fuck it up after simming it for a long time 😭

back to strength

[jolly flume]

just dodge then spread

easy mechanic

[low hearth]

my movement controls turned my character around and I got cooked by the gaze

[random needle]

Still bangs

People who get sick of Heroes haven't had to deal with two months of Footsteps In The Snow in p1 🥀

[loud nymph]

I dealt with footsteps in the snow in p2 for 2 months does that count

[random needle]

Yeah people who did FRU get my pain

[loud nymph]

once I'm done with the next savage tier I think I'm gonna start PFing TEA

[random needle]

Plus my first ult was cob, almost anything is an upgrade over Thunderer

[loud nymph]

I wanna have an ultimate clear under my belt before 8.0

[remote gate]

what role do you generally play

I can scoop you into a TEA static im hosting

[loud nymph]

Was thinking melee either NIN or DRG

could also do SMN if forced even though it puts me to sleep

[remote gate]

very nice

we may clear or disband by that point but ill add you to my interested list

[loud nymph]

haha nice

sounds good

[remote gate]

tea is dead in pf

[loud nymph]

my thinking was it would pick up by the time I get around to doing it

but PF might be obsessed with the 7.5 ultimate by that point

so who knows

[remote gate]

likely

tea is still great content

[random needle]

I like how Stardiver is considered "gently poking"

[loud nymph]

it really looks like fun, I don't care much about UWU or UCOB but TEA looks fun

[remote gate]

no cap why do people need to do their entire burst on the doll just like hit it three times with your normal attacks

[random needle]

Doesn't the doll not even count towards barse

[remote gate]

idk about that

but generally it's easy to not kill the things

[remote gate]

its a lot of fun but like all hard content in this game it will break you

[random needle]

And yeah, just... stop pressing buttons. Just stop. Use an auto if you have to, just don't kill the doll or you wipe the raid

[loud nymph]

that's fair, I don't wanna jump straight into DSR or TOP because I think that'll break me too, and while FRU looks fine I'd much prefer TEA because I genuinely fuck with some of those weapons

[worn bluff]

TEA is pretty chill

[trim frost]

if its so chill why did i get stuck on p1 for three hours

[rain geode]

especially if your thirsty

[worn bluff]

because everything is doll memes

[remote gate]

if you decide to try TEA earlier lmk

[clear plume]

Reminds me of my favourite copypasta

[random needle]

I wanna go back to TEA sometime

[clear plume]

You made a mistake. A mistake is a flaw. You are a flawed human being who couldn't pay attention and play a game perfectly for 19 minutes. You disgrace your family, your upbringing, your academic and professional training. You don't deserve love. You don't even deserve to be alive.

Perfect for ulti pf

[random needle]

I feel like either it or FRU will be my next ult after DSR... or maybe UWU if I find a group that's smarter than PF but still brain damaged enough to wanna do uwu

[jolly flume]

🗣️

[wicked delta]

CAN I HELP YOU

[zealous meteor]

stares at you

[clear plume]

I actually got confused like 2 days ago

I was in a r8s clear party killing time and a healer asked if I’m machinist enjoyer and I haven’t used that character this expansion at all and idk how they connected me to them

I’m not on the same service account even and my search info is empty

[trim frost]

i think ur being stalked

[torn mesa]

does your toon look the same

on both accounts

[clear plume]

Yes and no I’ll just get the characters

Like they’re same race but not the same character or anything

[torn mesa]

I don't know, I guess it looked similar enough they associated?

[clear plume]

I wasn’t even playing mch is the craziest part

So it’s like a called shot that I rerolled to a different character entirely and started playing different classes (which tbf which mch hasn’t)

But yeah idk it’s weird I assume they must like, have seen my recruitment post or something and seen one of my characters on it used to be named Corsair enjoyer around same time I used machinist enjoyer and maybe made that connection, but that’s realistically my best guess?

[thin tartan]

we know what you are

[loud nymph]

is that news on twitter

[clear plume]

Any social media that wants to be 12-13+ but allows adult content should be smote from the internet

[tired egret]

that's 90% of Social Media

but sure

Social Media sucks anyway

[jolly flume]

tiktok and reels have cooked us all

[tired egret]

purging them would probably improve things for the better

[vestal hollow]

odd take

especially odd to say on discord

[brave kiln]

there should be more places for kids to be kids tbh, comparing to when I was a teen in the 2000s online and now, there ain’t shit

[whole estuary]

on one hand yeah but on the other hand

[brave kiln]

gaiaOnline may as well be dead, Club Penguin may as well be dead, many of the old guard are gone

[random needle]

Neopets, Moshi Monsters, Webkinz... any of those still exist?

[brave kiln]

Neopets is still goin iirc

[sinful brook]

Yeah neopets is alive

My friend knows someone that worked a year with them doing dev work

High paying job apparently

[brave kiln]

noice

it’s just rough in general, people move on from projects/sites or the Capitalism Machine infects it and rots it away

so a lot of the safe spaces for that age group are just gone now

[vestal hollow]

at the same time i also fail to see an issue with adult content existing on these platforms

adults deserve spaces too, in a time when theres a lot of cracking down on nsfw content and queer expression out of puritanism

[brave kiln]

in a vacuum yes, but it’s the responsibility of the site staff to have very strong guardrails to stop minors from seeing or interacting with that type of content

and many just

do not

[vestal hollow]

im not disagreeing

[brave kiln]

I NEVER SAID YOU WERE

IM JUST SAYING COMPANIES DONT WANNA SHELL OUT MONEY TO MAKE PLACES SAFE FOR KIDS

[vestal hollow]

but implying that banning nsfw is the only solution is extremely irritating to me, as someone who falls into a lot of queer labels lol

its the "keep it in the closet" mindset. i find that disgusting

[deep gale]

I had the most insane image ad on YouTube earlier this week for some dogwater AI platform. Like genuinely what are they doing. It's the first time I've ever reported an advertisement. (Replied to wrong message, sorry)

[sly basin]

i used to be so obsessed with gaiaonline, i actually was also on a smaller nicher version of it too

[versed kayak]

The solution also shouldn't be sending your gov id to a private company like the UK requires

[sly basin]

that was all old-gaiaonline heads

[brave kiln]

saaaaame I wrote a LOT of OC fics on gaia

[whole estuary]

youtube is wild

[sly basin]

i think the site we used to go on is dead now, it was called "recolor.me"

[whole estuary]

I think they can do a little better than having porn in Youtube Kids section

[sly basin]

huh ive never seen porn anywhere on youtube

tho i do use adblock

[deep gale]

my poor multi trillion dollar company

[whole estuary]

because it's expressed through Minecraft/Roblox as a medium it doesn't get picked up on, and similar stuff

[versed kayak]

before I stopped using the YouTube app there were some ads, they just turned it into ascii art to bypass automated scans presumably

[deep gale]

I use adblock on my computer just not on my phone so I get randomly jumpscared.

[sly basin]

oh thats whack af

im not denying its out there, im just surprised youtube is still letting it happen

[versed kayak]

being effectively a monopoly for video hosting that isn't short form kinda helps

[brave kiln]

after being in IT long enough, I learned that the vast majority of companies will not move on upgrades and added security until something happens

it sucks and it backfires everytime

[versed kayak]

There's a lot of shit you can do if you're the only real player in the market

[whole estuary]

surprisingly it's even worse in China despite the heavy censorship

[sly basin]

i know theres like bilibili and dailymotion, but they arent the same level as youtube

also dailymotion i use to watch anime for free

[whole estuary]

When I was in China and searched FF14 OST Equilibrium on bilibili you'd be surprised how much straight up live action porn just showed up in the search results

[versed kayak]

the non-chinese audience on bilibili is probably non existent

[whole estuary]

probably, but that's still a broken search function and poor moderation

considering how much effort is put into scrubbing other stuff

[sly basin]

i just know of bilibili because when my friends were really into torchlight infinite all the best builds/money strats were only uploaded on bilibili

so our friend that knew a tiny bit of mandarian was the translator

[versed kayak]

porn rarely criticises the regime :D

[whole estuary]

yeah

it actually compliments it rather well

[jolly flume]

the entire medical industry and windows xp:

[loud nymph]

it's been like 20 years but wasn't that a major point of brave new world

[versed kayak]

ye I used to use it while playing some Chinese games to see their updates and stuff before the global version got it

[sly basin]

u know im realizing rn there might be a lot of info for where winds meet on bilibili...

i keep getting stuck and theres not many english guides atm

[versed kayak]

good luck finding it tho, if you don't speak Chinese and can search in it

[sly basin]

i hope google translate will help me and not infinitely confuse me

[jolly flume]

bilibili also gives you the most insanely dogshit bitrate if you don't have an account

[livid grove]

Where winds meet is nice when u dont have a loser in ur ear talking about how its ai slop

[sly basin]

the ai chat portion is kinda goofy

sometimes the npc just never wants to stop talking

[livid grove]

Its a nice game solid 7

[sly basin]

and im like ok bro... like i gotta go... wrap this up

also the ai dont like emojis i learned

this drunk man got rlly mad at me for sending him an emoji

[versed kayak]

ask it about the seahorse emoji lel

[sly basin]

[dreamy whale]

I am only on bilibili for the Chinese exclusive shows

Specifically fog hill of five elements

[dreamy whale]

WWM is just okay to me

I like it enough to play but

It’s impossible to progress the healer sect because you need to heal people but by the time you get to someone’s world to heal them there’s 2 other dudes there already healing them

So im gonna wait until the idol sect is released

[mortal flower]

Tell a dude to jump off a cliff and that you'll heal him for a pittance of money

[clear plume]

I’m sorry, if “children should be kept free from things not made for children” is an odd take to you then I don’t really care.

Like if an adult social media wants to exist and not advertise itself as safe for teens that’s fine, but current social media showing degenerate things and allowing onlyfans bots in replies of underage children is not something I’m going to say is a good thing for “queer expressionism” because you frankly just shouldn’t be expressing that in front of children if it includes nsfw content.

I happily supported initiatives like tying discord on iOS to your Apple accounts age for showing channels marked nsfw, because it’s an account most adults set up for their teens.

(I also have for a decade been saying governments should just give out an ID number you can put in for age verification online without needing to give credit card info or ID scans fwiw, no physical card needed)

[dreamy whale]

I think twitter should crack down on advertising underneath meme posts and such but

If your account is labeled Minors DNI then you’ve done what you have to as an individual

Same thing with 18+ discord servers

I do think its funny that a comic made about sophia the first has imo the best representation of what happens on social media

[jolly flume]

16 year olds with opinions are the scourge of social media

[dreamy whale]

Agreed

[clear plume]

Like there is just a difference between “keep it in the closet” and “keep it out of spaces with children” especially when people in here manage to be pretty gay and proud without being nsfw

[dreamy whale]

I definitely agree

[mortal flower]

Woke?! in my Christian ff14 server? 😡

[livid grove]

?

Oh ok

Yeah with context thats valid

[dreamy whale]

I think pride parades and celebrations are wonderful and the large majority of them are perfectly family friendly but unfortunately when we as a community dont condemn the kind of stuff that happens at San Francisco pride it harms our image in the eyes of the everyday person

Leather gear and dog masks have no place in public imo

[livid grove]

Huge problem in berlin. You see those almost every day. And those who condemm such things do it becouse they are homophobic and not becouse they dont want tht in public sadly

Most people who condemm it do it for the wrong reason

[dreamy whale]

I think the gay community in particular has a huge issue with over-sexualization, when I was discovering myself at 18 I immediately hopped on grindr because i thought that was what I had to do

[livid grove]

This too

[craggy marsh]

Grindr is an evil place

Just like Tinder

Like gay nsfw things has its place and it’s perfectly good that people express themselves, I don’t even think it’s bad that curious teens can find things like fanfics and fanart that aren’t sexual but are romantically lgbt, it can help them a lot with answering questions they have about their hormones… but much like I think tiddies shouldnt be plastered in Times Square I think social media shouldn’t be showing adult content to teens because I can guarantee you the muskrat is not sitting here with awful moderation to say he’s doing it for expressionism, it’s because he makes money off of degeneratizing kids

[jolly flume]

I was blissfully unaware of grindr

until like

a couple months ago

[dreamy whale]

I know I’m bisexual now but we really need to advocate for young gay and bisexual men to feel comfortable in their identities without feeling like they have to prove it in a physical way

[craggy marsh]

They're not dating apps they're hookup/one night stand apps

[jolly flume]

true. we already have this for that

[craggy marsh]

I think we need to advocate for men to be allowed to express how they feel without being shunned but y'know

[livid grove]

It all comes back to too much sexualization

[craggy marsh]

[dreamy whale]

A large issue I’m seeing even on normal dating apps which is why I set myself to only shown to women is that gay men are sex pests

It’s insane

[mortal flower]

Damn bro. Can you like shut up about my deepest insecurities.😭

[craggy marsh]

Growing up in my family sucked bc as a guy I was expected to just not talk about mental issues or anything related to it

[mortal flower]

Bro really out here swinging. Time to think about rome to distract myself

[craggy marsh]

Fucked up tbh

[dreamy whale]

I match with a guy and he’s immediately asking about my nsfw shit

[jolly flume]

my parents I'm pretty sure still don't believe in mental health

[dreamy whale]

Told my dad he traumatized me and bro apologized I was like

[craggy marsh]

[jolly flume]

which is whatever my mental is like rock solid now because I just ignore half the shit they say to me

lol

[clear plume]

“Damn bro that sucks, wanna build a deck together and talk about?”

[craggy marsh]

My mental is in a better place now but its ridiculous how as a guy you're expected to just bottle up feelings and aren't allowed to speak your mind

[mortal flower]

Does something hurt? No it doesn't

You need help? No you don't

Just take a nap, have some Tylenol, just forget about it you're fine, listen back in my day we had to have 7 jobs, it's not as bad as I had it so suck it up.

[craggy marsh]

Like damn bro, my cousin is getting bullied left and right and she has counseling help and everything. But when i was getting bullied I was told to deal with it and ignore it

[jolly flume]

my parents get to play the "back in china" card

[dreamy whale]

when I was bullied I was told to beat them up

[mortal flower]

I'm still not recovered from this.

[zealous meteor]

it harms our image in the eyes of the everyday person
no. this kind of thinking is what pushes people back into the closet
like. i'm not gonna go "oh yeah kink communities at pride are 100% okay" (my feelings on it are complicated) but i've seen this turn into shunning anyone who The Straights™ don't accept too many times

[craggy marsh]

Can we legalize children standing up for themselves?

[jolly flume]

which like yeah you had it rough but did you move to america just to make sure your kid grew up with equivalent mental trauma

lol

[craggy marsh]

Why aren't bully victims allowed to break the bullies jaw?

[mortal flower]

And when I did fight back, the bitch pulled up a girl as a body shield and I hit her.

Then I got grounded for 6 months + had [childhood] torture done to me. Like writing sentences 10000s of times. And nose in the corner shit.

I am well adjusted and not broken haha yeah

[craggy marsh]

I always think about that one video with the bully victim just suplexing the fuck out of the scrawny bully

Amazing video

[jolly flume]

idk I'm a cishet dude so idk if I even get to have a take on this without someone calling me a bigot but I think that's a pretty reasonable take to have, in my case I just apply it to chinese people being really fucking obnoxious as a rule

am I saying send everyone back to china? of course not

are chinese people still really fucking annoying a lot of the time? yes

does it make us all look bad? also yes

and as someone whose image is impacted by that

[dreamy whale]

Ok but there’s nuance to this like at the end of the day we are a minority so like if we want kink at pride there needs to be a system like at cons where you have to show an ID to get into a private cordoned off area because the entirety of the LGBT only makes up 9% of the US adult population as of 2024 so we need to be realistic about voter demographics

[jolly flume]

I don't think it's completely unreasonable to be upset with that subsection of the community

I would think the same thing applies to lgbtq

[zealous meteor]

i don't think it's unreasonable to be upset about it

but i have seen this rhetoric to push out non-passing trans people and gay people who are a little Too Fruity multiple times

so i'm very wary of phrases like that

[jolly flume]

sure

I mean the sentiment certainly gets adopted by people who are like

[zealous meteor]

to be clear i'm not trying to say that moomoo actually thinks that way

[jolly flume]

legitimately homophobic and extended to just censor all gay people

[vestal hollow]

yeah no you are clearly very ignorant on this subject lol, queer oppression is inherently tied to purtianical "but the children" stuff.

"you can be gay and proud without being nsfw" no. no you cannot.

extremely twitter brained, cisgender take, i would strongly encourage you to educate yourself on queer culture before you say anything else on the subject.

[whole estuary]

calm down

[vestal hollow]

either that or you are ragebaiting.

[vestal hollow]

I am calm, thank you.
