Unsheathing them
because its just so boring
yea necron is kinda meh
def the biggest miss this expac imo
idk what mm2 even is
EXACTLY
do u think i remember mechanic names in this game
counterpoint: limit cut refers to 1000 completely unrelated mechanics
mm2 = mama mia 2
BUT IS IT A MECHANIC
gavel is just nisi that doesn't even count
its so strange that this game makes it incredibly difficult to share hud layouts between characters
Wrath of the heavens
"limit cut is 1000 different mechanics" Akh Morn has like 6 billion variations but everyone knows what you mean when you say it
I usually just copy/paste the folders on my pc
Demolition deathmatch
yeah ik how to do it its just
Debris deathmatch
its strange the game doesnt let you do it in game
yea
12 years to get an actual "repair all" button
Where is my extract all button
where's the limit cut alignment chart
Ffs
We just don't have that technology
My b
Does anyone have a list of normal raid pieces used?
So I can skip crafting those pieces
for which job
All of them

Or well, all roles if we want to avoid job specific funnies
NIN is only using 1 nraid piece (neck) because crafted has SkS, I assume VPR is the same
oh yea i forget melee have funny sets, my melee is DRG
and i already have aiming set crafted
presumably DRG/RPR would avoid any crafted piece with SkS too
but I haven't looked at those
but for dnc for instance you still want crafted piece if its penta
since raid is det/dht
The only way you want one is if you dont want to dump tomes on a non-bis tome piece
And thats only for some people with certain gcd speeds
And its also like a 100 dps loss or something
Most people are going to doing it for w1
and im not dumping tomes on alt jobs anyway
Youll be behind a week on tomes
But it doesnt matter since you wont have the augments anyway
2 weeks if its pants?
wf are probs just not playing jobs that require it lol
None are pants
Its only accessories
Because of sps/sks accessories
surely theres more important factors when picking jobs for wf 😄
its less that it matters for wf
Stop putting sks/sps on crafter gear yoshi p 
and its more that wf players are typically people who want to be done with the raids
asap
which means not forcing an extra week of tomes
healer pants have piety
melding skill speed on my crested gear so my crafts are faster
should meld sps on your FSH gear so your casts are faster smh my head
I need 8.0 rn tbh
i give you my true, kinger
magnai is right there /s
I mean whm uses it so 
in high piety set
we fight evil stuff and have awkward moments with the scions that make the player go 😐
Idk what you bis set is using but just follow it then
i guess ill just craft everything, 1 item is not a big deal anyway
If you have it pulled up just look at that and go crazy
i just wanted alt job sets just in case
they have normal pants in the mid piety set
Whatever gcd speed you want for whatever job, see what normal raid gear it uses if any and then craft the rest
Then yeah just craft everything but the pants then lol
pants are 3 tokens?
whats the name of the new raid food btw..
Matters
caramel popcorn
Caramel popcorn is for most
Yes
if you need crit/det
There is different food for different people lol
wol pulling out this before raids
BLM wants sps too
better than mate cookie
just some healers/BLM AFAIK
I wanted caramel popcorn :(
i can't believe my bis food makes me a CANNIBAL
Why would SCH prefer spell speed over determination?
I've never really looked into it but assumed it was Crit>Det>spell speed>>>>>>>>>piety(useless)
stacking sks/sps in a vacuum is very good because it has increasing returns like crit does (it takes the same amount to lower 0.01 off your gcd each tier but that's a larger fraction of your gcd as you get faster)
almost all jobs just have parts of their kit that don't scale with speed (mostly cooldown-gated damage) so that's why it's not widely done
but more broils is more broils
But more Determination is also just more Broil damage right? Is there a sweetspot for where one is better?
I found det is better for me as if I mess up and don't click a gcd at least the last broil did more damage, because my determination is higher, but I guess the answer to that is "dont mess up"
is ex1/2 still 1 totem per kill and you need 100?
yes and yes
Yes
jeez why
because square enix hates us
We will look into methods of gearing
idk the exact threshold but getting to 2.31 is a big thing because that's exactly 13 gcds between dot refreshes
The wise words of the devs
also if you end up at a weird gcd by avoiding piety, may as well lower it some more to 2.40 or 2.31 for alignment
Cats how it feels watching esteem aura farm
Will add this to my BiS spreadsheet, ty!
Trying to find the best gear I can access as I don't run savage/ex content but want to just have the best stuff (apart from the actual best xD)
what popcorn do you like the most
is mount drop high-ish now?
not really high ish
you'll see it once in every like 10 clears
instead of once in like 50
whats the drop rate on the crafted mat btw
thats pretty decent? i wonder if merc party would fill for it
neato maybe ill get lucky and get it myself (it'll drop and I roll a 22)
are you going for train chocobo?
shiggy type of guy to need all wpns to desyth for crafting mats
you can desynth them already?
im assuming so
yes
im a lalafell imagine how funny it'll be to ride a tiny train chocobo

the bardings only work on the basic chocobo though?
every chocobo is tiny when you're a lala
always on the basic choco
is this how doomtrain came to be
the fusion of soken and yoshi p yes
incredible
idgi my inventory keeps getting full
I mean until you realize you're rolling against 7 other people
ye but merc
for like a couple mil
10% droprate on a boss that dies pretty fast
should be decently attractive maybe
I guess
not like you guys have anything else going on you got 3 weeks till savage
ive just been running archfiend when im bored still not got everything from there yet
whilst i wait for savage
i still dont know what to play in savage
bard
spin the wheel
probably
can anyone who has cleared ex and has a weapon confirm
do the weapons make choo choo noises when you pull them out
Dang so close and yet so far
got to car 6 in PF last night before ddos ruined it
arcane revelation is easy
just use ears
aw I was hoping for train whistle, still awesome though
anyway
my speculation for 8.0 is they're gonna move every job to one button combos like picto and viper
hope so, FINALLY we can enjoy the CINEMATIC experience fr
if there's enough things in the other parts of the kit to keep you busy I'm all for it
but at the same time nonstandard 123 creates some of my fav jobs
opomax or mch ammo is really good
even dealing with procs on rdm or dnc would fall under it
such a bizarre bug
what even changes internally to allow this to happen
"this random enemy in a heavensward area doesnt spawn properly"
Current hypothesis is that it's related to Beastmaster
imagine if this was the teaser for beastmaster
and we keep getting these lv 1 . mobs in other areas
i met feristal from tiwtter
and died immediatly
lol
Just move to Europe :3
does europe have good texmex
whats twitter
evil site
Twitter? I hardly know her
uhm ackshually its X
It’s so peak
The fuck is a texmex
oh do they? i glammed over mine
nuts
texas+mexican
who
anyways
are y'all 3-6-9 gamers or 3-3-12 gamers
(bard)
well I think with crafted you're forced to do 3-3-12 because of skill speed
I am giga casual on BRD but 3-3-12
wanna hear a secret
the difference literally doesn't matter I did 3-3-12 on .50 and still farmed like 97-98
just flip a coin
oh yeah im sure it doesnt matter until the very tip end of optimization
lowkey speaking facts
I had a caster who took r1
and I kinda felt bad for them watching them run forward and back
I wanna smack anyone who does "Hector but we do this one thing different"
just say raidplan
what's slide 6
Is it like slide 7
it's a different set of spreads for 3 puffs during intermission
SIX SEVENNNNN
6 has r1 north
rdps rankings for train, apparently
this is what hector does
I saw one on twitter that was 5x static spots and phys range fuck off this morning
30 (Hector) has all the ranged south
the problem with all ranged south is if the caster is group 1 they need to run north for stack
rprbros it’s over
thats a thing too
this is solved by not being r1 as caster like a normal person
that was our blind strat
seemed pretty fine
I still think static spot is probably
best option though

basically this
but it does come down to do you trust your tanks to not cleave the melees
that but you can move them even further and have someone stand dead center under the orb
that might be a little sketch
but minimum 4 people
can just afk
it's just revolutionary again
gl tanks

all my friends so toxic man

the other thing I'll say
ya seems better
so they don't deserve it
ive heard a few ppl say that this week, they were all ages 5-8
👶
five eight
if all your friends are toxic maybe you're the problem

i think being a little toxic is good for ur soul
unironically true
100%
especially when ur in the right
I would never be problematic

how I feel going back to mch and not needing to watch my hotbars like a hawk anymore
hawk... to... A...?
So true
Me no in balance discord, any word on SMN prebis?

@thin tartan I need a translation
o/ should absolutely be top tier
now we need a tier list of things people say when a duty finishes
Simple flowchart:

Run was dogshit: ""
Run was really dogshit: "please consult The Balance."
I sit there for 10 seconds in case someone wants to commend me then leave without walking to the exit

Actually the real winner is being in a prog party that's memeing and then hitting them with "tyfp" and then immediately leaving

Sapphire Raiden # Siren: my goldfish is drowning gtg
Dragonsong's Reprise (Ultimate) has ended.
You have entered a sanctuary.
endgame lounge
i need your wisdom again
how would you define a soft enrage?
like i know what it is but idk how i can formulate for a friend
A soft enrage makes it untenable rather than impossible to continue
something that hits really hard that you can survive, but it's preferable you don't deal with it in such a way
When the boss keeps doing one attack over and over without any more mechanical variation or skill than just "stay alive and kill it before it kills you" maybe?
Something like the TEA enrage maybe?
It doesn't outright kill you but the more people get trapped in stasis the less likely it is to clear
Jwaves is a soft enrage but perfect alex is a hard enrage
not killing ray in time so the arena is flooded
So more mechanics led rather than "This is my ultimate fuck you move now die"
not killing the squirrel things in time so everyone now has stacks of bleed
Yeah TEA is a hard enrage, if you don't kill it before everyone is trapped you are guaranteed to lose at a specific time
For additional context, soft enrages used to be more common, but during one of the Coils fights people found a way to cheese the soft enrage, hence the shift to hard enrages over time
Hmmm... Is Bahamut with Damage Up in UCoB p5 considered a soft enrage?
You can kind of sort of combine them. Sonic Shatter from P5S and Terminal Relativity from E12SP2 mimic the feel of a soft enrage but those fights still have hard enrages
Probably intended to be a failure condition, but as it's been beaten, I guess it's super technically a soft enrage now?
I mean, soft enrages are already meant to effectively be fail states, it's just that people are worryingly good at making them Not That
I guess I define failure state slightly differently then
Failure state to me is incorrectly solving a mechanic, leading to the fight ending prematurely
Vs. Enrage which is more "you got through the fight but you're out of time"
Yeah the devs clearly never intended players to beat Golden with the damage up
i dont consider those soft enrages, it's not a failure difficulty but a mitcheck
Hate boring raidwides
Yeah that's why I said "kind of sort of combined".
It's absolutely not a soft enrage
It just mimics the mits and heals that would be put into delaying a soft enrage
all the shits in here qualify for soft enrage, you can still beat the fight after failing it, but it is going to be difficult
Like Artistic Anarchy?
Yeah most of arcadion had good enrages
Id personally just call it any type of enrage that doesnt outright kill you in one hit
Hey all is this the place to discuss the train EX?
you can
go for it
Which of these do I boost, and which do I mute to hear that train audio cue
Because I can not hear it.
I believe its under sound effects
maybe lower BGM or completely turn it of
Unfortuantly most of the combat noises are ALSO under sound effects afaik
turning BGM down might help
personally I just stopped trying to listen for it and just stare at the big train
easier for me
Thats also an option (tho I tend to lose the little train when I do that)
so you are train spotting
I gotta be honest, this might be my limit
I didn't have that issue personally, stare at big then you have several seconds to locate small and get into position (though to be fair I'm mdps so I have to travel less than others)
I've got the wings (or enough totems to get the wings) on all the other fights
I think as long as you hang out near mid though you should be fine
but I do not see myself going 99 rounds with this thing.
understandable tbh
At the end of the day whatever works for oneself is the best I just got used to the audio cue
yeah for sure
What’s wrong with doom train bro 😭
Ill probably go the 50 rounds I really want a pair of wings
then again you cant buy the wings for forever so maybe I wont
Just way too much going on
obviously but i needed a less textbook answer for my friend. but she understood now

Really I found him easier then necron
although I was healing and necron has a lot of annoyances for healers
lol
so NA has 0 chance of winning wf for savage
I still can not hear it at all
Is there a lore reason why FFXIV gets ddos'd every day
we killed zodiark and now He can no longer protect us from attacks
the true villain was ddos all along
are you talking about intermission
if you so you can just look at the higher up train to see the visual cue instead of relying on the audio one
yeah that's kinda what I was saying, just watch the blue plumes out of the big train
horn -> look at train -> count blue -> look at smaller train -> go to spot accordingly
Never let the opps win
LONG LIVE THE KING
The puffs start happening once the tank busters show up
Calm them nerves got the whole world watching…
That song is so goofy omg
Its funny bc it doesnt match what m12 is showing at all
Epic music for boring mechanics

seriously
Its p8n situation all over again
M11N was unironically more engaging 
It doesn’t even go well with the fight 😭
Where they save EVERYTHING for savage
surely M12S will be peak
god forbid a man have fun
NOW GET DOWN ON YOUR KNEES,I'M ASKING PLEASE
Light it up.
I'M SINISTER, UNDER YOUR SKIN, IN LACE AND LEATHER
I like the theory that it's our song, not the boss's
Never had a choice…
this the type of shit id expect from a lalafell but
damn 
the confidence they had in that pixel is admirable
I got carried to 2 clears
did not feel earnt at all
Party would probly been better off if I just lay there dead and my drone shot for me.
Swap to tank and ignore intermission bro !
WUK LAMAT
But I need to be R2 to signal that I'm just gonna follow the party and do nothing of worth or note.
i love playin tank to ignore intermission
hey a clear is a clear
can you full uptime intermission on tank? I'm afraid to greed the cleave
i always miss one gcd there
on each cleave
It is easier than Necron yea
Would this include the shadowbringers alliance raid as endgame or just purely dawntrail stuff?
Mostly dawntrail stuff I think
Ty ty
i hope brainded revelation doesn't stick :/
bwaindead?
idk what exactly it is but it involves tank lb and i dont wanna think about it
braindead intermission is fine but revelation like idk
God no losing just one gcd is less than most lose
i usually lose 2 or 3 per cleave
wait prob more cuz i play super safe on the cleave
i aint no greeder
i like wait for animation
it prob snapshots half a second before
I saw there was a braindead car 5 strat but it sucked and got removed from the raidplan
So hopefully it's dead and buried
i know that sometimes my primarl rend perfectly happens after the snapshot but it like depends on how i've done my rotation up to that point so i stopped doing it after i killed the party once
Fuck
A samurai player is trying to bring it back saying you should mit everything on first and tank lb second instead of spreading mit
what about the third
the bd strat might make a comeback cuz i saw a host advertise it and swear by it
also i literally dont understand theres like a chance of missing 1 gcd per revelation like its not that deep
its literally so easy and just follow someone if u dont know how to do it 😭
follow someone might be too late
at least from my experience, people that wait to follow someone are usually too slow, they get hit by the revelation circle
cuz of network delay and all that
i just listen for sound and then look at where circle ends up. That worked for me except for this one time it didnt make a sound and killed everyone
fun silly video https://youtu.be/lONFFfYIY9I
i'm only 6 months late, what of it
in all seriousness, this video was originally 85% complete as far back as july. but a long string of events had me putting it off repeatedly, and instead making other projects my main focus. i kinda regret leaving this behind for so long, as i don't feel i have the same energy i did when i first wanted to make...
I'm beginning to think there isn't a sound at all
literally turned off all other sounds
wild thumbnail
I'm sorry but if you need a braindead strat to do revelation then you dont deserve a clear
if every strat is braindead, are they truly braindead....
sometims it doesnt make a sound, i thuoght maintenance would fix that but it apparently hasnt
either way i just look at body language if that happens
which one is revelation again
moving circle boi
2 tanks top left and 6 others top right. Stay there and mit when circle hits you
its funny how it just moves all responsibility to the healers instead
ngl lowkenuinely excited for upcoming msq now because of the patch
need is a strong word, it's more like they're just lazy and want to make farming as simple as possible
i hear JP is standardizing it and im sure they can do it the "normal" way
why would you do that
we standardized sphene flares too but im sure PF is capable of doing the normal way as well
ok it's braindead but not for the correct reason
if we ever learned it
super giga excited for halmarut
This feels somehow even worse than BD EF2 in ex4
fair
at least in NA i 95% see non-braindead
Uh tanks left and everyone else right
it makes farming simple until you get the shit healers who can't do it and then people blame them instead of the party just doing the mechanic normally
i think this is one of the few times where i had an easier time with the normal way than BD way
And then you just super mit I think
i had the timing for normal way down so i didnt want to learn another way
I really hope Hector doesn't make a vid for this, this doesn't need to be legitimized
I still think EX4 was only a shit show in pf bc of hectors video doing a different strat then what pf was already used to
this is probably better in a static situation where yuou have familiar healers and mitplans
mmm
Hector live reaction
which works for me since i generally dont farm wings early. I wait until we gear up
End of expansion movement ngl
LOL
i'll also farm if there's a merc party but ... <=5m and all the merc parties ive been in were traps
this strat so ass...
It was literally in reaction to a braindead strat shared in here like 😭
surely he doesnt make a separate video
hector's generally doesnt make another video unless the normal strat really sucked
This is such a teacher response lmao
whcih i think the normal rev strat is fine
makes sense
he made one for... raining cats cuz it's the hardest mech in Dawntrail and needed a better one
all the fights this expansion have been p fun
Failure of a raidtier according to some people tho 
m3s 
according to who lmao
that's still p fun
cooly?

i like m3s because it’s challenging to get full uptime
cruiserweight is perhaps my favorite raid tier of all time
3/50
Got absolutely hard carried across the finish line.
Just listen to the audio cues bro
Honestly cruiserweight was a fun tier to prog, awful to reclear
they are sorta hard to hear (and sometimes arcane revalation just bugs out and doesnt give you an audio cue)
loved it both ways
did bout 15 clears, one time didnt make a sound
SE might have to add another SFX volume slider for mechs only
or split between player and enemy SFX
ideally they give us an individual volume slider for every ability in the game....!
i think SE is leaning a lot towards execution based mechanics in savage rather than puzzles
i don’t know how i feel about that
if they’re going to do that i feel failure needs to be more punishing
what if puzzles were less precictable w/ many possible solutions? Then they can be more fun to do non-blind
add catchpas to Interphos
you pick the one that’s easiest
i also say less predictable in a sense that the easiest solution might not always be a solution for one instance.
as for how they can design a puzzle like that without being too much of a brain-twister... hmm not sure, upto to the expert puzzle makers to figure it out
this is how we end up with bodychecks everywhere
and body checks are a bad thing?
excessive ones are
people like mr ozma dont know the meaning of a few
if you get hit by an avoidable aoe you should die
i thought p10s was a great fight even in pf
i think its a good fight but remove the pf from that sentence lol
fights should never be designed around pf
yeah well, fights should never be designed around only statics either
here lies the crux of trying to balance for a large range of players: P10S was a beloved fight but many people also complained about body checks
all kinds of people play the game
Bodychecks are fine until you have a fight like P10 yeah
Not every mechanic needs to be a bodycheck
I feel like fights should almost exclusively be designed around PF
Golbez EX suffered this too
but its also the placement of body checks
its just a classic square thing, we’ve overcorrected to there being no body checks
@jolly flume
absolutely not, fights would be clearable by 5 y/os
like the issue of golbez is they put a mechanic that apparently is hard for most people to execute, and immediately follow it with a body check
zero recovery time
what hair is that
thats... not true?
5 y/os who can game sure
the average pfer is garbage
Hair from chaotic
Honestly I dont even think thats true like sure there are a lot of bad players but there are also a lot of good players
like the last thing I want is to not be able to play the game anymore
being a good player in this game does not help you at all
Like for an ultimate this is fine
But an ex? Idk chief
one to two bad players in a group can ruin a party
4th floor too should be fine to have many body checks
Ya the 4th floor should have hard mechs that require consistency
All Im gonna say is a decent PF should be able to clear a fight
But dont make the 2nd fight of the tier be bodycheck city
like ideally as you progress a tier it starts mostly personal responsibility and shifts to party
but they didn't stick to that at all in panda
and it always has been able to
necron was p fuckin bad but otherwise i agree
hence fights are designed around pf and thats what I prefer
But thats the curse of an off savage patch ex
I mean
SoS being an exception to the rule
What do you mean by that exactly
Designed around PF
Because do you mean that the lowest skill people in PF should be able to clear it?
in some games it is basically impossible to raid without vc lol
see: Destiny 2
Generally speaking reasonably skill players should be able to clear a fight in PF
Or around week 1 savage/ultimate people
thats what I mean
also i moved to materia just to craft because im scared of ddos
this place is a ghost town
They can they just have to be aware of their surroundings
i only see other voyagers
The skill pool of PF is so vast that I don’t think its really a thing
i want to say materia only had 2k native active players
in the last luckybancho
for comparison, aether alone had 80k ish
If someone is "decently skilled" at the game then they should absolutely be able to handle 95% of the mechanics in this game
they even have housing first come first serve still, no lottery
you can go to shirogane and grab that plot 30 anytime
i’d still find a way to lose
Yeah like the average player is pretty fucking bad lmao
So im just not sure what it means
The average player thinks dungeons are too hard
bruh just @ me if you're gona call me out

honestly I dont htink thats true I think the average is better then people make it out to be
dawntrail dungeons
like I dont think the people struggling with dungeons are the average they're a very vocal minority
Most the playerbase doesn’t even raid as is
tew not even 40% of the community participates in ex trials
dawntrail dungeons
i can literally drop the whole thread for the fifth time
people thought alexandria first boss was too hard
less than 20% participate in savage
When we say the average player is bad its like an objective truth bc they don’t touch the content
I can drop the "Dead Ends is too hard" post too
Lmao
i havent seen that one
People said Dead Ends had savage mechanics
I mean sure you can post the forum that only proves that they are vocal
LOL
The only boss I can think of is the second one
whereas in my games I rarely see parties actually struggle to clear content
First boss just put the esuna in the bag man
For players who just want to do the story, there should not be mechanics that you only see in Extreme or Savage. What is Square Enix thinking putting all these ridiculously difficult mechanics in a dungeon boss like Exaflares or the second boss's ridiculous amount of AoEs? The issue is there is no obvious tells for what the solution to the mecha...
think back to how you were before you stepped foot into an ex
It's an amazing read
its def the second boss
well it was like less then 2 months ago so its pretty easy to remember
https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/504705-Feedback-Dawntrail-MSQ-dungeon-difficulty 34 pages be like
So I just wasted an hour in the Alexandria dungeon. I say wasted, because I spent most of that hour wiping with my NPC party on the first boss and then force closed the game mid-fight on the second one out of sheer frustration. Never before have I literally dreaded seeing a dungeon pop up in the MSQ the way I have in Dawntrail, but each one has ...
that alr is not norm
Honestly? There's no "too hard" mechanics right now in the game and thats good
This thread is the reason you get extra lives in DS now I think
wait what
I dont like it when devs overcorrect
thats a thing now??
I mean I didnt really until I hopped into ex's
when did that happen
that was added this patch i think
and its not like I was struggling to clear content through the story so it clearly cant be to hard for casuals
bro...
I hate how they implemented it tho bc you only get extra lives after you die the first time. So those people will still complain
They nerfed a solo duty in Endwalker because it was too hard
Meso Terminal executioners are impossible content
exaflares
ridiculously difficult mechanics
lmao
Slow moving exaflares too
the exaflares are NOT hard to resolve i promise you 🙏
hopping into exs already puts you above the average lol
It's also a mechanic that can be ignored bc the healer has esuna
I'd get more into highend if I had a group of friends to do it with and wasn't stuck in OCE
Like its nice that you think the average player is not as bad as you think they are but they kind of just
thats my point
but i still cleared the content just fine so clearly the average player can handle it just fine
You dont need to learn your rotation to clear content
Warriors dragging 3 corpses in dungeons
idt you 're getting my point
also for the record i dont think any of us are elitist we are just being objective when we say like
you stepping into extreme and trying to get better after
already places you above the avg player
I corpse dragged people through so many dawntrail dungeons in early access on DRK lmao
we need to fix invulns. they should just autopop. do you know how hard it is to hit buttons like holmgang? just ask our poor struggling tanks like @dull drum
many ppl dont even bother trying extreme
WOAH WOAH
even less try to improve after
i dont play warrior anymore
that doesnt really have anything to do with my point is the thing
I saw someone mention that you could get around the ex6 min ilvl by premade. Like just bro
the data disagrees with what you are putting out is my point
it does though you say you're average but at least you hopped into an extreme
oh yeah you can literally just ignore them lmao
thats literally above the average already
call me elitist but anyone getting filtered by dawntrail dungeons deseres to get filtered
you have had 90+ levels to learn the fucking game
they're not hard
and that a vocal minority on the forums doesnt actually mean that much
your point was that the average player can do stuff in pf we are saying by definition they cannot
Yeah lmao
because the avg player doesnt even try extremes
People treat the game like a visual novel and get frustrated when they cant win by doing nothing
We’re not talking about people doing normal content this is about PF
Most people haven’t even done an EX, designing content around “the average player” means catering to those folks
You can win by doing nothing for 3 years
Every single savage would be O1S as a result
Yeah savage and ex clears are really low percentage wise
14% of people have done necron
I mean people not doing EX doesnt mean they couldnt in theory clear them if they wanted to if that was the case no new players could ever do ex
Not today Zerg
thats kinda what we're saying tho
you using the phrase 'the average player should be able to clear content'
alr goes against the basic data
I know what you mean when you say the "average player" but it's hard to gauge what the average player is in this game
14% of people with public achievements
like... that's 34k characters
should be not has to, if someone wants to clear an ex and is willing to put in some work I think they should be able to clear it
It's like when people say "we need more midcore content" but they dont really give examples as to what midcore even means bc it's different for everyone
That’s the thing willing to put in effort
?? you can do that now with how fights are designed
To some people EX is casual
yea willing to put in effort = already not the avg player
midcore is content that i can clear without having to put in too much effort, but that the average person i consider worse than me cannot

YES I LIKE THE WAY THE FIGHTS ARE DESIGN RN
or at least the ones Ive done
Ultimate is midcore content bc i cleared UCOB and UWU without much effort
true
true and real
Elitist 
that is true yeah
i still feel like the number is somewhat within ballpark though
So what was the whole point of 'fights should be designed around pf' if nothing changes?
10-15% margin of error for people who have private achievements
because someone was saying they shouldnt be designed around PF and I disagree with that
midcore is content than can be cleared by the average midlander player
midcore is such a stupid word
if anyone in this server uses slop one more time i'm gonna pull an emet selch
its funny how the average is so hard to define but the extreme ends are pt easy
(become a genocidal maniac)
like if i said hardcore raid you can probably imagine like
Im really glad someconversations never change in mmos (in OSRS the conversation is around "midgame" and how overly vague that is)
week 1 pentamelds + alts for splits, 40+ hours a week probably etc
most ults
oh that's what you mean
yeah 
sloppeh
yeah i mean it more so for like mentality
because thats like the biggest issue with statics
midcore is a trap most of the time
casual hardcore static
dang im casual hardcore
"magical girl glam" my ass
Im gonna play 12 hours a day but Im below average player
evil magical girl
you are not, because the term is literally meaningless
maybe for a nun
Cat cult
look at the aiming set
well I mean my life is meaningless so it fits
wow that was more edgy a joke then I usually go for these days
ok
speaking of midcore i saw a pf recruiting for a "semi midcore" static and im not even sure what the expectation is for that
I think midcore is like fine IF you then specificy exactly what you mean
One man’s hard is another’s easy
True
never thought i would waste 40 minutes on a dungeon but here we are
40 but it’s one the fastest
i bet it was the first boss wasnt it
what were your top 5 wipes there
Bro was playing with plumbers 💔
This dungeon is not hard enough to be in it for 40 minutes tf
I've actually not had any wipes in mistwake yet
I did it with npc’s
neither have I
Actually that's a lie I died once on my first clear to the dash because I got giga greedy
cause I haven't done the dungeon yet
Fairly new to the game looking for people to play with dm I play tank
sometimes u just gotta tell people sphene plays better than them
ngl i already forgot the bosses but i remember being surprised with how easy the dungeon was
like yuweyawata 2nd and 3rd boss had more hands than anything past it
Endgame lobby might not be the place
actually wait i don't think we wiped to boss 3
on my first clear we wiped to boss 2
and on my second we wiped to boss 1
Honestly I judge bosses entirely based in if they say something funny during the fight
Every ff game they petrify
-# HOW MANY TIMES IS IT GONNA KEEP DOING THAT?
yuweyawata 3rd boss and meso terminal 2nd boss should be the standard for dungeons tbh
"GAYS UPON TRUE POWER"
next time we're gonna have
Bless you Gaius
catoblepas
The party must take care to not let too many rocks be destroyed, as it will cause the boss's Bedeviling Light attack to become unavoidable and wipe the party.
oh huh
i thought it would just spawn new rocks
There's a few soft enrages
no it happened to me day 1
people thought hey lets put this telegraphed aoe on a rock
O2N has an enrage at like
and see what happens
23 minutes
Didn't they add an enrage technically to a random arr dungeon in 7.3?
mistake 1st boss might actually have a sort of enrage, i did notice he will target 1 of the remaining pillars every time he does that thunder attack
so if you take too long you could be left without pillars
notice how the first expert dungeon each expac has tried to copy amaurot
please add an enrage to dusk vigil in 7.5 it would be so funny
I really really fucking really beg them to stop doing the "Go into the past of a long dead civilizations and witness their collapse" thing
It was cool the first time
Dead Ends was cool too
but did they need to do it 3 more times? after EW?
or...2 times I guess
since Meso Terminal doesn't count
the only good memory dungeon is meso terminal because instead of reliving a civilization's collapse, calyx just throws endless at you for fun
what bosses are those

Has anyone actually died to the second amaurot boss enrage
is meso 2nd the one with the 4 guys
Yes
8.0 final trial will have a cutscene followed by a power boost victory lap with uplifting music. please look forward to it
I mean that's okay bc I love my hype moments
I don't like the constant use of memory dungeons as our final dungeon
have you heard? princess sphene is here!
as a tradeoff we've had much fewer echo visions in MSQ in general
where are my migraines
if i smile, it’s because you all smile for me!
doesnt it just die before the doom is even cast if a dps is on it
means i don’t have to constantly hear that stupid fucking echo theme
Clip showing the cutscene where you experience the echo and look back at The Battle of Carteneau with all but the BGM muted. The track is creatively called "The Echo" and can be found in game and on the Before Meteor OST from Square Enix.
This video is part of a larger playlist, hear the rest of the game's music here:

get away from me
no, you'll enjoy your flashbacks
MAD SNAKE
🐴 where noclippy
flashback to a scene of two characters talking about something that you'll forget "oh wol, are you okay? you were spacing out for a moment there."
alternatively, giott inventing new slurs for you every time you get an echo flashback
This is a Mini-Guide to Static Intermission in Hell on Rails Extreme (Doomtrain) in Final Fantasy XIV.
I had seen this strat before posting my main guide, but hadn't had a chance to trial it to make sure it wasn't too good to be true. In my personal opinion, this strat is a huge improvement over both the slide 6 and slide 30 spreads in the orig...
i'll begin by wearing you down
8.0 final trial will have luk wamat, princess of blindfrost turned queen, barging in and defeating the boss mostly by herself
I dont hate Wuk Lamet like everyone seems to but she probably shouldnt be a player in 8.0
i'll begin by wearing you
skins you alive
Ill begin by wearing you down
she's probably banished to the shadow realm for 2 expansions
I mean she had her story It would like if lyse was around in ShB
or if graha was around in ew
graha is popular at least
cluegi
who's graha
who's rem
pajamas
no, she should be part of 8.0
i love her
and it would annoy other people
That is a good point
I like wuk.
I like Wuk as well
wuk lamat is just naruto in a fur suit, believe it
it would annoy the annoying people and that's what matters 
she is
and that's good
we need a shonen protagonist
the wol clearly isn't cutting it
I don't think we had enough scenes of her eating food in S9
