Not overly suprising since I mostly just condensed and organized what was already there

[dull drum]

i dont play that slop sorry

im a nikke enthusiast

[undone tide]

it’s not slop

zzz is peak

i haven’t played in a min though too much to keep up with

[dull drum]

its doing fine now

cant really think of anything bad thats happened

[undone tide]

zzz?

i’ve only been out like 2 patches

[shy obsidian]

god I wish zzz was more fun for me
I want Banyue so baddd

but i dont like the gamepalyyy

[trim frost]

nikke is side eye

[undone tide]

zzz is fun af

you just need the right comps to have fun

[rain geode]

All gachas are slop

[undone tide]

yes

[rain geode]

I should start playing nikke again

[trim frost]

#real

[undone tide]

[trim frost]

oh

[undone tide]

valcors is banyue irl

i’m convinced

[dull drum]

[rain geode]

thats why its great

[pale blade]

I do not play video games to get horny to them bruh

[worn bluff]

mine is kind of like this but target HP is at top

[clear plume]

There is way too many people who make “horny” a personality trait

[rain geode]

Honestly I dont trust anyone with only one personality trait

[trim frost]

oh. meh

[worn bluff]

some of the people on the ananta subreddit creeped me out i had to unfollow and the game's not even out yet

[trim frost]

why does he have the dragon beads

[pale blade]

Well

[proper cave]

Violent murder bot becomes a monk and now he's an ascended master

[pale blade]

My personality traits include walks in the park, building PCs, destroying large corporations and corrupt governments, appreciating art

[rain geode]

My personality traits are playing hard games, playing easy games, playing card games and playing board games

and uh the thing we talked about earlier

[undone tide]

it appears xiv lands in the “playing easy games” category

[rain geode]

Honestly in the grand scheme Id probably put it on the medium games catogory

which I will mentioned I also like

[shy obsidian]

i wanna pick up Caves of Qud but I'm worried that it'll explode my pea-sized brain

[dull drum]

ive had people outside of the ffxiv space watch me do fights and they're just like "holy shit how do you know what to do"

just ram your head into the wall until you learn

[versed kayak]

I mean...some of those skins

[dull drum]

😔

[rain geode]

Its also hard because like normal mode content is super easy

[versed kayak]

whenever someone in #gacha-general talks about some new nikke and I look it up, I remember why I'm not playing that game

[dull drum]

anything summer related is banned

[pale blade]

Always side-eye

[dull drum]

makes sense

[rain geode]

but even ex's do generally force you to at least solve the mechanics so I dont know if Im actually compartable calling it a truly easy game

[dull drum]

idk i saw people have a stroke doing necron normal idk how

you know that part where the arena shrinks and the lasers spin

[rain geode]

I mean I make small mistakes on Grand cross here and there still the lasers are weird

honestly Im suprised ive never fucked up the solo add phase

[versed kayak]

I mean so is winter, I made the mistake of looking up some new skin for "blanc", and what the hell

[pale blade]

Making rookie mistakes is always part of the experience

But there’s a difference between doing just that and owning up to it and doing a ton of mental gymnastics to justify them

[rain geode]

wdym its peak

I'd wear that

(altho I think I prefer noirs outfit)

[versed kayak]

you'd run around without pants?

[rain geode]

If it wasnt for social conventions yeah

[undone tide]

waiting for me to have this moment

[worn bluff]

i feel like it's hard to compare to non-MMOs. most raids are mostly on rails with a mini variation to solve, then it's "stand in right spot while rolling your GCD"

[undone tide]

i dream of mansplaining ffxiv mechanics to women

[worn bluff]

compared to more active games, which have more variable things you have to respond to but usually don't require you to be doing damage nonstop

[rain geode]

Its also worth remember in most games you generally dont look up a guide whereas in mmo its basically expected (outside of like very very early prog)

[torn kindle]

“Wow you’re really good at magnet mechanics, lotta girls struggle with that”

[undone tide]

yea we broke up because she couldn’t do party synergy

[torn kindle]

[undone tide]

“a foursome is too many” she told me, only for me to retort that omega is one entity

[proper cave]

Pour one out to that dna guy lol

[dull drum]

its not really that cool ngl, i had friend get interested at first and then when i tell them to hit a dummy to learn their rotation they quit

[undone tide]

bruh.

they ain’t yo friend

get rid of them

[shy obsidian]

oh god are you talking about that one copypasta

[undone tide]

i’m curious

what?

[proper cave]

High Concept. Don’t mix dna with my gf

[undone tide]

buh

[rain geode]

Tbf with how easy dungeons are I personally think its better to learn your rotation there then on a dummy

[shy obsidian]

wait i need the full copypasta i forgot it

[shy obsidian]

unless you're a bard
it gets mega fucked up if you're a bard

[rain geode]

I will admit I have played exactly 0 bard

[versed kayak]

only your songs really

outside of that you can still practice your "rotation", or at least practice dot uptime

[rain geode]

Or more realistically probably better to learn in trials but I don't think this is actually a game you need to spend a lot of time at a dummy at

[undone tide]

if you can’t do your rotation without looking you will at one point as a raider have to learn

[shy obsidian]

trials allow you to learn to adjust in real battles, I guess?

[versed kayak]

It has 3 songs you cycle through and always want active. Using one late will perma drift it until the end of the fight or a downtime so if you fuck it up, its quite punishing

Since they need a target to play you can't really do any of that in dungeons because half the time you have no target while running between mobs so everything will drift to fuck

[undone tide]

you need to understand how to do your rotation without looking because you have mechanics like mirror mirror which occur during a burst window, or you can look at top p6, fru p5, and dsr p7

if you can’t do your rotation without looking you will do 0 damage during a mechanic like dynamis omega because it’s one of the most complicated dodges in the game which happens during a burst window

what if we put predation during a 2 min 12 mins into the fight

[versed kayak]

watching my dumbass clone stack up with 3 other people while doing my 2 min during projection beta

[rain geode]

That makes sense tho then I would just say use trials or normal mode raids

[undone tide]

(i see you playing zzz are you rolling dialyn)

[versed kayak]

won my 50/50 so already got her luckily

just gambaing on her w engine now

[undone tide]

engine?

ah i see

i hear she’s insane?

i actually don’t have a limited stunner yet

[versed kayak]

I only started recently so didnt have that many pulls saved up

[undone tide]

oic

[versed kayak]

yeah supposedly shes a decent gain over fufu

[undone tide]

who pulled you in

oh she’s dedicated rupture support?

[versed kayak]

noone really, just decided to check it out recently

[undone tide]

i see

[versed kayak]

think so, but iirc shes a gain in other teams too

altough people in #1256266131753406515 will know more :D

[undone tide]

there’s a fucking zzz thread in here

what

[versed kayak]

theres also a whole channel dedicated to gambling gachas: #gacha-general

[undone tide]

i reel in disgust at my own hobby

[true beacon]

which one

[rain geode]

Specifically I still take a laser hit every in awhile a mean

[true beacon]

No which Grand Cross

There’s like 3 different fights with that

[boreal pumice]

flexdeath the og

[versed kayak]

Oh, was gonna ask if theres more besides O4S

[boreal pumice]

necron stole alot of exdeaths move names

[rain geode]

I was responding to someone bringing up necron so that fight

[pale blade]

this is fake asf but its hilarious

[worn bluff]

yeah it’s in the shitpost sub

[subtle trench]

So I've never really tried savage reading before but I really want to try it next tier and was wondering how I should get ready and if there is somewhere I can just practice the game and harder content in general without feeling like I'm holding a PF party back by messing up the fight.

[amber fable]

I mean just read for that......

[torn kindle]

It’s a bit too late at this point to go try and learn Necron but I recommend doing the new Extreme in 7.4

There’s also Unreals from Faux hollows as another stepping stone into harder content

[worn bluff]

if you do the new extreme you can put a title like “i’m just a lil baby raider learning pls be nice”

and people who join are more likely to be forgiving

[subtle trench]

I honestly don't know if that's a troll or not, i heard the raiding. Community is kind of elitist

[worn bluff]

it’s not a troll. some people actually make silly descriptions like that

there are elitist players but they prob won’t join your PF if you say you’re brand new

[daring pine]

i like silly pf descriptions like when i scream for help in it

[subtle trench]

Is there anything outside of rotation I should know in general or is a lot of the knowledge encounter specific

[jade nimbus]

Mhm, I finished clearly m8s and highest parse I got was a 34 on week a bazillion

The thing is I don't think I was doing bad

[valid solar]

As long as you read everything on the balance page for your job you should be good

Just practice the rotation on a striking dummy a few times

[daring pine]

its ok i went from geen to ourple on m5s just from getting a little more uptime

so it might just be that

i'm too lazy to fix my 6s parse

and i dont want to step foot into that fucking fight again

[subtle trench]

Do people use an addon for figuring out parse?

[jade nimbus]

Mhm, I think the rotation is fine (I play Viper, so) but I'm probably missing the 2 minute windows by a bit by looking at it

[daring pine]

i could probably time my melee combos a little better in M8SP1

like during pack predation so my melee doesn't ghost

[jade nimbus]

Also I do both lb3 in m8s, but I doubt it is that big a difference

[valid solar]

Parse is measured by a website that parses a combat log, produced by a program called ACT, which does have a plug-in version if you don't want to use the external tool

Only one person in the party needs to have it since combat logs aren't player specific

[pale blade]

I usually get Dance Partner in M8S so I am not on LB duty

if I do not then I do them right during the first TB of P2 and during the soft/hard enrage

[daring pine]

oh question djura

when do you send your 2s after you get past the p2 cutscene

because i've been told you dont send them immediately

[undone tide]

you align them with 60s

so pop em when 60s come off cd after their initial use

[pale blade]

Your 2m is at the 1m mark of P2

[undone tide]

the second quaga is when that will happen

roughly before

[pale blade]

You pop your 1m immediately after the phase transition

[undone tide]

i believe marce is on rdm so

no 60s

so for now just plan to use them around the second quaga

[pale blade]

Yeah, though as a general thing

1m after the phase transition and immediately when the boss becomes targetable, 2m at the 1m mark of the fight

uh pot windows are at the beginning and at 5m I believe

but yeah during the second Quake III is when the 2m happens

I sometimes miss my pot window during Howling Eight because of the effects overload tee hee

[wicked delta]

Umm im reaper please lb3

[pale blade]

https://tenor.com/view/die-spongebob-meme-gif-754776035690869996

[wicked delta]

But lb bad for me…

[pale blade]

Funny thing though: I usually do not have Reapers as co-melees in that fight

[undone tide]

imagine playing reaper in the big 25

looked at reaper’s fru channel for fun

shit was disastrous

[buffs end] :perfectio:

[pale blade]

Every single fucking time

[undone tide]

honestly idk why people would play reaper

like drg is right there

arguably cooler and much more fun

[pale blade]

Yeah

My DRG glam was originally a RPR one but then I realized it works on both

[undone tide]

never would have thought that reaper would be one of the most complicated dps considering where it was in 6.0

guess it just needed ultimates to show its flaws

[wicked delta]

Cus job cool

[pale blade]

Sometimes I think about all those Reaper mains I blacklisted

[wicked delta]

Playing for meta is fucking cringe when I can just swing my scythe and be awesome

[robust shoal]

rpr is fun in ulti when ppl die to monitors and you whip out the fattest girthiest triple enshroud to force the pt over the finish line in the next phase

[undone tide]

i like my drg glam

i’ve made it even better since

no good screenshots tho

[pale blade]

I need to find that DRG glam I use

[rapid whale]

your chara looks very similar to chiyo's

[wicked delta]

Racist

[undone tide]

true, reaper will always be best in the most important phases

[undone tide]

looks better, you mean?

[wicked delta]

My femra has a pretty nice drg glam

Don’t really have one for my bun boy

[undone tide]

she’s the best

[pale blade]

porple

[undone tide]

i still can’t find a purple dye i like in this game

tried em all

they’re either too muted or too bright

[pale blade]

I had to work around the Abyssos weapons and the Manalis hat

[undone tide]

i say this knowing my favorite color is purple

but i only love like one shade of ourple

perfection

[robust shoal]

idk if I'll find a use for these pants in non maiming glams but I rly like them

the gloves are nice too, armor+fingerless

[undone tide]

yea i have a huge preference for fingerless gloves

which is a struggle

i hope next tier has nice glam

last two have been misses for me

[pale blade]

yarp

[undone tide]

anticipation…

[robust shoal]

I like the L-HW fending gloves

[undone tide]

i’m wondering if glam being decoupled from job will even make a difference for me

[undone tide]

show em

[wicked delta]

Shock

[robust shoal]

the top part dyes so you can make it look armored with metallic silver

my main glam I'm using diadochos tho

[undone tide]

wait those are nice

i hope a have those

idr if it was bis last tier

actually i know exactly what im going to do

i put my fending glam on every job

perfect

[hollow jackal]

Whats the point of tomestones of heliometry? Gears worse then the current raid gear and the weapons while seeming worth doesnt Warrent me going for. Is there any other use im missing?

[daring pine]

crafting materials + you need them for the dawntrail relic

[hollow jackal]

I guess i could get started on a dt relic

[pale blade]

Also I would strongly suggest capping them before 7.4 releases in three weeks

[hollow jackal]

Cool why?

[daring pine]

you'll be able to turn them into math tomes

[robust shoal]

oh no I never made a fru bis set

[hollow jackal]

Ooooh

[robust shoal]

but p sure the gloves were bis

[daring pine]

and will no longer be able to get helio after

[hollow jackal]

So i should spend the maths now?

[pale blade]

Heliometry will be phased out but can be traded in for mathematics

No

[robust shoal]

yeah they're crit det

[daring pine]

nah just cap helio

[pale blade]

Do not spend mathematics

[daring pine]

keep your math tomes

they'll still be good for a while

[undone tide]

apoc, what are some of your favorite fending pieces you think people sleep on

[hollow jackal]

So i will go over cap and end up with 2860?

[daring pine]

its not a 1:1 exchange

[hollow jackal]

Makes sense

Why save maths compared to spend it will better deals come out?

[pale blade]

the new capped tomestone will be mnemonics

mathematics will be moved to uncapped

[robust shoal]

oh nvm I did make a fru bis it's just way down the list

[pale blade]

they will remain that way until the end of the expansion

[robust shoal]

also hmmm

[pale blade]

after 8.0 launches you will not be able to get any more mathematics or mnemonics and you can trade any existing ones in at Mor Dhona for poetics

[hollow jackal]

Is it best to buy rings as I cant get 2 of the same one from raids?

[daring pine]

you can't get two afaik

[hollow jackal]

If i wanted to do all the raids savage what i lvl do I need?

[robust shoal]

obv I think my main glam pieces all slap, ppl know omega gambeson good and swallow's compass boots too but the skirt I don't know if I've seen anyone else use

[daring pine]

for this tier? ideally il740

at minimum

[robust shoal]

it doesn't dye though and you're maelstrom locked

[hollow jackal]

I need more then

[pale blade]

This tier or the one that’s coming out after Christmas?

[daring pine]

but the next tier releases in two weeks

[pale blade]

Then yeah

[daring pine]

so it's not worth it

[pale blade]

Savage tier is after Christmas

[daring pine]

yeah i mean normal

crafted gear will gap current bis anyway

[robust shoal]

I also like foestriker's skirt, nice and simple but also undyeable

[pale blade]

They specified a three-week delay for Savage instead of the usual one

[hollow jackal]

Won't I be able to the normal raid gear what should that i lvl be?

[pale blade]

normal raid and crafted gear will (presumably) be 770

[robust shoal]

archeo kingdom boots are good

[hollow jackal]

So theres not much point me getting my current set up if I can just pick up 770 for free on release

[undone tide]

what skirt is that

[pale blade]

Extreme weapon 775, tomes 780, Savage and augmented tome gear 790, Savage, Ultimate, and final stage relic weapons 795

that’s generally what to expect

[robust shoal]

faire kohakama

[hollow jackal]

How do I get universal tomestones 2 as that seems to be what I am missing weapons

[undone tide]

btw, yorha 55 boots of fending are so insanely good

[pale blade]

yarp

I use that for tank glams

[robust shoal]

chimerical felt skirt is good, also bonus zonureskin gloves

[daring pine]

archeo kingdom was peak i fear

wasn't a fan of ceremonial

hoping they cook with next crafted

[undone tide]

i just want everyone to know i’ve been using this exact same glam for 3 years now

have not changed it one bit

[dull drum]

look at that shit bro

c41 TOP 5 mil

1 pull 1 clear

2:30 am gamers

[jagged aspen]

m7s or 8x m8n

[hollow jackal]

Ah cool

[amber fable]

4x m8n now

[dull drum]

^

[undone tide]

its 6:30 brah

[dull drum]

fuck the east coast

west coast supremacy

[jagged aspen]

just get arkveld weapon save your tomes 😄

[dull drum]

or the relic weapon

relic weapon is bicolors + 300k gil though so

[jagged aspen]

and 40 hours of grind

[dull drum]

honestly just do the roulettes daily at leisurely pace

outside of daily bonus i dont think its worth grinding roulettes

[jagged aspen]

the first part

[dull drum]

surely OC is still alive

[jagged aspen]

even if it is, still a long grind

[dull drum]

nah its dead as shit

[pale blade]

Sad

[dull drum]

even bozja didnt die that fast right iirc

[pale blade]

There’s still time to turn it around in 7.4, surely

Though I think they need to do something drastic

[dull drum]

theyd have to rework/fix their prior mistakes

[jagged aspen]

bring back duels

[wicked delta]

OC comes back to life during peak hours

And it still is dead as shit compared to Eureka/Bozja

Tbh

[daring pine]

second step is dogshit

first step is dogshit

third step is gonna be brute abomirelic

[dull drum]

i think its just because eureka has more enticing rewards, and then bozja is just straight up more fun

[wicked delta]

Well that but also

[daring pine]

idk why they thought bringing back atma and light farming was a good idea

and you can't even do 2nd step inside of OC

[wicked delta]

Both Bozja and Eureka have more community things to do

Theres barely anything in OC where you have to work together to spawn it

My fav part of Bozja was the whole instance pulling up to watch a dude attempt a duel lmfao

[dull drum]

i remember people having fun with forked kinda and then when the actual farm started after prog ended it was just fucking misery

[wicked delta]

Even if he won or lost we cheered him on

[dreamy whale]

Gud morging

[amber fable]

Bozja had actual mmo feel even if it was grind fest

It had cool shit

[dull drum]

rangers triggering the atomic bomb, etc

[amber fable]

Best of eureka and bozja btw

I guess what se considers best isnt what players feel

[wicked delta]

OC feels like exploration zone made for people who don’t like exploration zones

[dull drum]

if OC had a lacus litore i think itd stay alive longer

forked doesnt count cause honestly most people couldnt do it

as you've said lacus litore is basically one of the community parts

but the actual execution required to clear it isnt like forked where one person can nuke the whole squad

[amber fable]

Duels

Cll

Hell even mob grinding was better

[dull drum]

plus bozja has that neat bonus for the newer players to level jobs as well while doing its content

so it already had longetivity built in

[wicked delta]

This is defo bozja baby brain talking but I 100% preferred the sign up systems over what OC (and Eureka) has lol

Week 1 OC was literally

[dull drum]

i think the intent was to make people travel the map rather than sit in spawn waiting to hit sign up but yeah id prefer sign up

[wicked delta]

You turn around to do 1 thing and well shit all the fates are fucking dead bc the fate scaling is fucked

[dull drum]

riding map was meta

on god

week 1 meta

[wicked delta]

So true

Me with my Cloud bike

[amber fable]

I bought just for new expansion zones only

Shit is slow af

[dull drum]

we'll see what OC can cook up but like honestly you've got forked rn vs CLL, delubrum, and dalriada

MAN i miss dalriada

[amber fable]

Fork 2 will have easy mode

And new jobs

I dunno what else they will add

I have no expectations of anything significant

[dull drum]

also it was kinda lame that OC just had the bozja and eureka loot pools in it

[amber fable]

New rng accessories

Forgot that

[dull drum]

🥴

[wicked delta]

I fucking loved Dalriada

Lmfao

[undone tide]

i miss when this game had good content

[pale blade]

Well…

I think it still does but it’s extremely disappointing to see OC dead in a ditch

[dull drum]

watch the next ulti not be shb msq

[dull drum]

the griffin and dude fight is pt cool, and diablo armament is pt sick too

[undone tide]

lets go shinryu

also new pfp what we think

[dull drum]

its good

dude my healer duo got shit talked by suisei in naur i just found out

[undone tide]

wait what fight

also why

[dull drum]

TOP, they took rank 1 combined double shield healer back when we were doing reclears

[zealous meteor]

next ult should be bozja

[undone tide]

ok what’s the problem

oh its just suisei being a parse monkey

[dull drum]

said we were losers for sandbagging

i didnt even sandbag

we just skipped melee lbs for good KT

[undone tide]

i can’t

[dull drum]

😭

[undone tide]

naur creatures man

[dull drum]

i mean i guess if you count holding p2 as sandbag???

i just did that so i wouldnt get cancer

[undone tide]

just get the stars to align

and you get a 99

that’s what i did

[dull drum]

fr

[undone tide]

i actually cringe whenever i mention my rank 2 because i actually almost lost that run to popping a mit too late on CD2

i lived with 10k

:^)

[dull drum]

a rank 2 is a rank 2

[undone tide]

bro got the nikke tag on

💀

[dull drum]

damn straight

ive had it for months

[dull drum]

dude they literally started discussing it 30 mins after it got logged (none if us talk in naur)

i swear they check it 24/7

[undone tide]

were they in the run??

[dull drum]

no

our static was just doing reclears like usual

legit 30 mins after the clear

idk why it ended up being brought up again yday

[undone tide]

bruh

they should talk about watashia kamidesu instead

[dull drum]

they did

[undone tide]

or Stella Astera maybe

[dull drum]

nah im a nobody

75% of my clears on drg are gray fun fact

turns out afking in p2 nukes your parse

my group wanted to show how your parse drastically changes by holding for me and i went from like gray single digits to 95 pace going into p6 (server got ddosed)

games shit

that one week where we got ddosed everyday was interesting

[robust shoal]

I'm a bad person because I have a 99 in m6s

I actually cranked in boss dmg that run tho

not like uwu where you're purple in one and r1 in the other

[undone tide]

man i used to have lore in naur

actually after the shit i did in TPR it makes sense that i have some lore

[zealous meteor]

i don't want to call peoples names cringe
however.

[robust shoal]

I had a special role in naur for winning the uwu race and sometimes ppl would dm me thinking I was an admin

[undone tide]

you should’ve faked it till they realized

[undone tide]

its poll slop time

[tired egret]

Hmmm

Very accurate

[robust shoal]

imagine looking at 10,000 profiles just to determine it's 25% catgirls

[sick dirge]

is anyone surprised

[robust shoal]

10.3% "other" race is interesting

RPers really like their mixed origins ig

[undone tide]

i don’t want to unpack that

i think you know what “other” implies

like no way 10% of rpers are modbeasting

[robust shoal]

I mean, a big part of that is probably Garlean

[undone tide]

yea that’s fair

[wicked delta]

Sometimes they’re like

Voidsent

[undone tide]

still somehow garleans not added ad a playable race

[wicked delta]

Ik plenty of ppl who roleplay as voidsent from the 13th

[zealous meteor]

2.4% lalafells
yeah that checks out

[undone tide]

maybe in 8.x the obvious garlemald expac

[wicked delta]

Garleans cant manipulate aether which like 95% of the jobs use

So playable Garleans is gg

[undone tide]

ok just fuckinf

[wicked delta]

That shit aint happening

[undone tide]

magical mcguffin

who gives a fuck

[wicked delta]

The writers obviously

[zealous meteor]

garleans could use uhhh
maybe gunbreaker if we're following thancred rules
maybe samurai??
reaper
maybe machinist
crafters
and gatherers

[dapper zealot]

but your lunchbox stores aether for deeps

[zealous meteor]

that's why it's a maybe

if the lunch box converts aether without the user needing to activate it, it would work

garleans could also play most non-magic classes
but i don't think we should encourage people to use classes instead of jobs

[robust shoal]

that was my other thought lol

[loud nymph]

more "others" than lalas, hrothgar, and roegadyn combined

[robust shoal]

"this bitch either a garlean or an actual succubus"

[loud nymph]

smh my head

[zealous meteor]

to be fair if you erp with a lalafell 90% of people will kill you on sight

[dapper zealot]

Just stuff a garlean in a mech suit

[loud nymph]

to be fair there's plenty of rp that isn't erp

I know this is for ffxiv so it's easy to mistake

[zealous meteor]

absolutely
but the author said

Oh yeah and obviously since in this survey I used Player Search to check EVERYONE instead of just people RPing at the public and mostly SFW RP hubs....

The male to female ratio skewed much more towards female, and the amount of the "typical choice" races for attractive women rose noticeably.

[dapper zealot]

JP has a shiton of lalas

[zealous meteor]

this is crystal datacenter

[dapper zealot]

You should have moved over to add an extra stat for lalas

[undone tide]

i don’t think jp’s rp scene is nearly as large as US

[zealous meteor]

i'm not an rper though

so i wouldn't be counted anyway

[daring pine]

hi as a chronic rper

yea

it’s usually voidsent of some kind for the “others”

also damn roes are low on that list

[zealous meteor]

if only you hadn't moved to aether

then you could be counted as a roe

[daring pine]

i did not expect ishgard to be that high

[dapper zealot]

It's the rock salt

[daring pine]

“none” was expected

anyway time to work

[undone tide]

doing my ankle stretches

fuck this shit hurts

need my ankle to be normal again

not necessarily bigger just making up more of the population

[random needle]

"I'm significant! I'm significant!" i continue to insist as I slowly shrink and transform into a corn cob

[zealous meteor]

you're transforming into the cornservant???

good for you

[vestal hollow]

erm

[undone tide]

hi eat my tier slop

[robust shoal]

wrong

[wicked delta]

You only disagree cus Wicked Thunder is in A 🙄

[craggy marsh]

Dicked Thunder should be higher than S

[pale blade]

When are we getting Hector: The Threequel

[quick verge]

when the chuzz drops the worst tier list u ever seen

[versed kayak]

is that eden CoD?

[zealous meteor]

M6 is S tier (lala)

[pale blade]

I definitely agree with M6S though

[random needle]

Is this ranking the fights, the designs, or something else

[pale blade]

not arguing that one

[wicked delta]

Pretty sure its just from the Eden raidtier

Otherwise they’d show idk

[robust shoal]

I mean aside from the obvious

like is e10s rly that bad

[wicked delta]

Cloud of darkness the original

[quick verge]

e10 was a funny ass fight

cause it gave us the vouch for me clip

[versed kayak]

E9S is so boring mechanically

[robust shoal]

e10s had some funni drk stuff

[wicked delta]

ONLY I CAN PROTECT HER

[robust shoal]

after the buster you could just kitchen sink solo the 8-man stack

[quick verge]

thats e11 dickhead

[wicked delta]

Suck my nuts

[quick verge]

i like people hypermitting the jumping orbs

and then not mitting it correctly

[random needle]

Even the funny platforms feel pretty straightforward, it's just that it's so much easier to pvp on them than in most other mechanics

[robust shoal]

man I forgot the orbs

[versed kayak]

yeah not fucking up there is like the hardest part, after that you're basically done

[random needle]

I won't complain about an easier fight after the hell e8s put me through

[versed kayak]

:D

[robust shoal]

e9s brought the legendary

[quick verge]

is this optimal kt and rotation chat

[sick dirge]

whos on the left of ramuh

[wicked delta]

Garuda Ifrit I think

[robust shoal]

yea

also e9s had that dank phaser tech

getting full uptime without clipping and dropping delirium

[undone tide]

this is such a horrible take i think im going to block you

e9s is genuinely the best true intro fight i could have asked for

[quick verge]

when the ragebait hits

[versed kayak]

as intro fight sure

[undone tide]

like i am kinda rose tinted glasses here because e9s was the first fight of the first tier i cleared but like

that fight is genuinely innovative

tiles is one of the most unique mechanics in the game

[random needle]

Fall Guys before they added Fall Guys

[robust shoal]

spooky choochoo was my first savage

pure chaos

wish I could find the old video of average weekly o5s shenanigans

[random needle]

I guess my first on-content Savage is gonna be whatever m9s is

[versed kayak]

it is, but it's also the only really interesting mech for me in that fight
I also just finished E8S before it, so I went from a very long back loaded fight to a rather easy one, so my perspective may be different

[clear plume]

Later today I’m doing o5s min ilvl sync

[random needle]

I think the first true savage fight I cleared in any significant way was like... e7s MiNE I think

(I technically did o1s MiNE, but that's not an achievement)

[versed kayak]

I think mine would've been A12S

[robust shoal]

based

o5s is so good

[tired egret]

I did T9S on MINE for my first ever savage clear

god

[random needle]

If o5s is so good, why isn't there o5s 2-- wait. Wait a minute. Oh my. Oh my goodness gracious

[clear plume]

My raid group is a bunch of anab babbies so I’ve been able to convince them of the all time goats that aren’t hailed as goats as derust days

[undone tide]

what is o5s again

train?

[robust shoal]

I remember failing passenger skip on rdm because I didn't realize sprint ate dualcast

ye spooky choochoo

[versed kayak]

ye

[robust shoal]

that's awesome

[random needle]

I wish we could have suplexed the train

[clear plume]

O3s, o5s, e7s day

[robust shoal]

o5s, o8s, o9s, o12s are goated

ooh and o3s

[undone tide]

why e7s

[versed kayak]

skip e7

do something fun instead

[undone tide]

shit from a butt

[clear plume]

E7 is a great fight to prog

[robust shoal]

o3s would get like 50% total vote on best savage in sb

[versed kayak]

the one time a fight really needed some randomness they did fuck all and made E7S

[clear plume]

I’d agree if omegascape didn’t have o11s into door what a BANGER back to back

[undone tide]

i think p4sp1 is an s tier fight

[clear plume]

Only held back by o10s being the fucking worst piece of shit fight in this game

[daring pine]

sitri are you an ishgard fan

[robust shoal]

yeah o10s is... something

[versed kayak]

I'm torn between E7S and O10S being my pick for worst fight

[wicked delta]

What was that again

O10?

[random needle]

o10s is Middy

[versed kayak]

but probably O10S cause E7S is just boring as hell

[wicked delta]

Huh

[random needle]

Midgardsormr

[wicked delta]

Tf I thought ppl liked him

[random needle]

The one where he spins

[amber fable]

"Mid"gard

[versed kayak]

vertical speen and horizontal speen

[amber fable]

Spin 2 win

[robust shoal]

I went through the omega raids with static of shadowbabies and we heal lb stumbled through hot tail and everyone was just like, yup we did it let's never speak of that again

o10s dominated the worst savage votes even harder than o3s dominated the best savage votes

[wicked delta]

Crazy

[versed kayak]

I've seen that exact same thing happen with 2 groups I did it with lol

[random needle]

I'm shocked o1s didn't take that crown honestly

[robust shoal]

the competition is like... o1s, o2s, o6s?

[versed kayak]

healer LB3 is just part of the fight

[robust shoal]

they're kinda nothing fights but o10s is actively bad

[clear plume]

The tank swap debuffs and bulwark passes are the shittiest single mechanics in this games entire history

[robust shoal]

and yeah I told them it was a very period-accurate clear

we got the true experience on it

[versed kayak]

an extreme can't be the worst savage

[robust shoal]

we also I think just blindly stumbled through the big o2s mech first try

I was waiting for it like wait was that it

[clear plume]

Being easy isn’t the worst, o1s is still used to derust by a whole lot of people because it has really fun uptime practice

It’s a perfectly mid fight

[robust shoal]

yeh

same with 2 and 6

[versed kayak]

I forgot what 2 and 6 were

[robust shoal]

2 at least kinda pretends to have mechanics but it's mostly just remembering your sequence of up/down

[versed kayak]

3 was hali I think?

[robust shoal]

2 is eyeball and 6 is demon chad and virgin goddess

[versed kayak]

oh yeah the eyeball...exists

[robust shoal]

(the goddess, despite being completely naked, actually wears the pants in their relationship)

Pretty sure OT takes more dmg than MT in o6s

[versed kayak]

oh and picto before it was cool, right

[quick verge]

o10 on tank can legitimately be used to torture someone

[versed kayak]

I should probably remember since I OT'd it, but it's been a year

[robust shoal]

o10s was amazing when tail end was 110k maxroll dmg vs 70k tank hp

[undone tide]

i need to do o10s somewhat legitimately at some point

i’m not a legit tank

[thin fox]

does anyone remember how to set up iinact with browsingway

[zealous meteor]

i think you should just put the URI in iinact into browsingway

iinact's uri is not a configuration setting, it just generates a link to use

[thin fox]

hmm I have it open but its not showing me anything

oh

I forgot to hit start

thatll do it

[thin tartan]

bruh

[thin fox]

how do I get rid of the black background

clickthru does it apparently

surely a good trial roulette today

in the past week I've had an Arkveld that disbanded over people leaving and a 30 minute long Zalenia

[thin tartan]

[worn bluff]

o10 looks and sounds so bland to me design wise

[jolly flume]

speeeeeeen

[sick dirge]

[dapper zealot]

I always get nervous being on someone's stream

I've gone the entire range of one pulling DSR to messing up the easiest shit you can imagine

[zealous meteor]

a male roe player in the wild.....

[rapid whale]

Aren't they more common than female or is that because of all the bots

[zealous meteor]

i rarely see either of them tbh

[wicked delta]

theyre more common\

than femroes

but mostly cus its a meme race tbh

[zealous meteor]

i see more femroe players but that's probably because i actually notice them

[wicked delta]

i dont see a lot of genuine maleroe players

[zealous meteor]

because mommy

[dull drum]

just pretend like its rui

cause he always streamed our prog reclears anyway

[rapid whale]

asdhfakdhf

[worn bluff]

that’s prob the most well known roe player

i guess out of the 20 that exist

[thin fox]

its actually insane how bad thaleia is

[dreamy whale]

I can double weave on NA but do you think it’s still good to use xivalexander there anyways bc I’m on the east coast

[zealous meteor]

it doesn't hurt

[jolly flume]

it does hurt

every time someone installs ping mitigation I get metaphysically stabbed

[dreamy whale]

Rip chiyo

[rain geode]

Take it your not a fan

[jolly flume]

yes I hate ping mitigation

that's why I have three forms of it installed

[rain geode]

Take it you like it then

[dapper zealot]

It'll be faster to queue for them if you're doing the normal raids

[daring pine]

can confirm

i see more maleroes than fem but they’re always wearing some dumb memey outfit

no genuine

[wicked delta]

yea

ppl who play maleroe genuinely are more rare than femroe players in general

tbh

[rain geode]

Really I feel like I see more maleroes then femroes

Wish we had data on how popular races are

[wicked delta]

i mean

as i said

[jolly flume]

tomestone.gg

[wicked delta]

theres a diff between maleroe in a speedo

and someone who actually just likes the race lol

theres more maleroes in gen but like 60% of them play the race cus they look funny. at least from what ive seen

[dapper zealot]

Don't notice that many roes here, but male roes are significantly easier to spot at a distance than femroes

[rain geode]

If tomestone.gg is to believed

[ember quartz]

huh just went for doing susano ex blind MINE in pf

that was fun ngl i should do blind mine stuff more often

also kinda surprising how it felt like a normal difficulty DT duty

[daring pine]

yeah

i've never seen another femroe play it as like, a meme

they just like the race

[daring pine]

it's funny because i've found male hroth players are the opposite of maleroes?

like they all just like the race

and probably other men

[wicked delta]

oh yea male hroths are just happy to be there

and good for them

tbh i think they'd be meme'd more if you could play as them from the start

but eh

[daring pine]

malehroths are lovely

except for that dancer in my m6s enrage pf that didn't even see past adds

or get to adds at all afaik

insane prog lying

[random needle]

I like malehroths a lot

Really the main reason I don't play one is because female ones exist

[wicked delta]

i like male hroth

i just dont play em

cus i like bunny

[dapper zealot]

omg it's him

[worn bluff]

what if they genuinely like being a maleroe in a speedo

[flat bane]

TBF hroths are your only choice if you want to play a true non-human race

Although I'm pretty sure male hroth is memed even more than male roe as the "ERP/brothel modbeast freak" tho

[trim frost]

unfortunately true

I think I’m more afraid of what will happen when Daitaku Helios becomes available as a trainee in global Uma because fanon depictions have her using Gen Alpha slang in addition to zoomer ones (as far as the English localization is concerned, because gyaru slang doesn’t translate 1:1)

[valid solar]

"palmer, oh my god. I'm a down bad simp for my best friend! So I said fuck it and tried to ask her out! I wore my best fit and I thought I looked nice. She looked like she was mad and disgusted.
