Clearly too much for pf

#

But it's really not that bad

fierce matrix
#

Yes

#

Its not

alpine plover
#

The choo choo is harder

#

Imo

fierce matrix
#

None of it is hard

valid solar
#

thonking north and south are never safe though ? even on E/W the aoe is large enough that standing full north or full south will kill you

#

I think im misunderstanding what you're asking kek

fierce matrix
#

If the orb

#

Stops on the north part of the diamond

#

What side is safe

valid solar
#

south

alpine plover
#

I killed my ranged 2 times with the choo choo and they just adjusted for me afterwards

valid solar
alpine plover
#

Based pranged

fierce matrix
#

THEN WHY DID YOU SAY ITS NEVER SAFE

alpine plover
#

U clip the other group

#

With the bigass aoe

fierce matrix
#

No you dont LOL

alpine plover
#

If you stay dead south you do

fierce matrix
#

You go E and W of it

#

I SAID

alpine plover
#

Yes

fierce matrix
#

AAAAAAAAAAA

#

Okay

#

So

#

My original question

alpine plover
#

Ok i get it

#

What u meant

#

Mb

fierce matrix
#

This is why I dont want to go into pf for this lmao

alpine plover
#

Ngl NA pfs are cursed

#

EU has sometimes specimens

#

But not to the extent of horror of what i hear about NA pfs

#

😭

#

davy_jones I got confused because I thought I already answered the question about when the crystal was N/S and you were asking something else

normal summit
#

I reeeeeeeally don't want to make a guide on 2:6 arcane

valid solar
#

thank you prayge

thin fox
#

you should make a video on it but its just a 1 minute long alarm that goes NO. STOP THAT. NO. STOP THAT.

#

Look, if groups want to do it because they really can't cope with the solve for the mechanic, more power to them. I just don't personally want to lead to it becoming more popularised.

dapper zealot
#

How to do 2:6 arcane:
Step 1. Uninstall FFXIV

tall field
#

Whats 2 6 arcane?

#

2 tanks and everybody else?

valid solar
#

and hope you dont die

tall field
thin fox
normal summit
#

This isn't like BD EF2, where it's an insignificant amount of extra mit to cheese the mechanic. When it gets to the point where you might have to tank LB, in addition to use every mit, it's just silly at that point

tall field
#

With a vuln tankbuster hurts

thin fox
#

our healer just fucking dies here

#

despite a huge shield

#

we would've completely wiped if we got hit a third time by the arcane aoe

tall field
#

Maybe thats why they want this mech?

deft yarrow
#

i dont think its possible to get hit three times i dont think

sick reef
thin fox
#

you can

deft yarrow
#

either that or ive just been really lucky

thin fox
#

idk either way

#

its a completely shit strat

#

you just straight up have people die

#

if you get aoe'd twice

deft yarrow
#

ehhhhh

thin fox
#

i mean look at my clip

tall field
#

Do at 770-780? Maybe can

thin fox
#

sage was full hp

tall field
#

But not 760 lol

thin fox
#

big shield

#

died to stack + aoe

#

sage had same hp as me so they would've been 770

deft yarrow
#

btw there hasnt been anything ff9 related in the new raids right, aside from the lindblum thing

rapid whale
#

2/6 enjoyers can rot

#

put the downtime in the bag

deft yarrow
#

ill rot in my 20 totems and counting, ty

valid solar
#

same if it stops N twice and then E or W

deft yarrow
#

oh yeah funny tip
all the lightning strikes respect elevation
so two players, one below and one above but basically standing next to each other and its safe during the stack/spread

#

also works for twisters

#

Heyoo, how was 7.4 msq?
(No spoilers pls tho)

valid solar
#

very good, imo better than .1/.2, honestly its probably better than .3 but since .3 was the finale for DT I still rank it a bit higher

normal summit
valid solar
#

btw hector im curious have you ever experienced the issue of audio cues not playing for intermission HMM

tall field
#

How does gnb manage there? Fine or screwed

limpid edge
#

I've had revelation audio cue not play before. Wiped the team cuz it affected the whole party not just me

flat bane
#

people will really do anything to avoid walking out of an aoe

thin fox
#

ok time to try clear ex on alt

#

surely this goes well

#

immediately wipe to first spreads

valid solar
#

if this is on NA I can join for a c4alt

thin fox
#

Ill see how I feel after i live this party out

deft yarrow
#

after playing with new gnb gnashing fang
yeah can we get more charged gcds

#

i never had the audio bug on my first 5 clears of the fight then when i heard about it i had it every clear after

#

so i think its an infohazard

#

hope this helps

jagged aspen
#

why not look at train?

kind elm
#

thinking about women

also i am looking at the train

the audio bug has never got me killed but that doesnt change the fact that its annoying and should be fixed

no im using my eyes to think about them

Very productive first week of the patch for me so far

25 ex clears (between main + alt), 90m gil made

how did ur pentas go inx

thin fox
#

I only go to 3 melds per piece total and it went ok

kind elm

damn...

no real reason to go full melds considering i'm probably not clearing the 12th fight week 1

pale blade

#

i dont need it for savage, i'm merccing the extreme and ive only gotten 14million gil out of it so far, but i miss out on some potential parties because of my dragoon only being 760 and not having an open slot for warrior whom i have the crafted gear for

but idk if 6milllion is worth it for a potential 5million+

timber stratus

i use the neck on bard because sks is cringe

jolly flume
#

dogshit stat is dogshit

#

who's surprised

rain geode
jolly flume
#

speed is the only stat in the game that can theoretically scale as hard as crit does, it's not linear

#

the only two considerations to be made are 1) every speed tier you go up is 400 extra mp a minute you're spending, and 2) if you really care about parsing slower sets can often sim higher at +2/3 standard deviations because you're just gambling for the one in a thousand crit runs at that point

rain geode
#

Makes some amount of sense I haven't looked much into the proper week 1 bis lists as I'm a bit weird and very specifically like playing at either 2.39 or 2.4 regardless of how perfectly optimal it is.

jolly flume
#

I wouldn't really advise playing 2.31 in prog anyways and 2.5 is very rarely achievable without taking extra piety because SE hates fun

#

so 2.4 is a pretty default scholar speed anyhow

what are the chances of a 3rd chest to spawn in the new norm tier? (3rd chest for the bgm, not the minion)

austere jay
#

I'm having a hard time figuring out if the new patch content bosses are harder than typical casual content or if I'm just rusty and used to running the same dungeons. Any personal takes?

sly basin
#

🤔 since i cleared train normal do i get the ex now

loud nymph
sly basin
sly basin
rain geode
#

Just comparing to the last major patch I found the dungeon much easier and the trial about the same for normal mode

#

And I found both of those trial much easier then zelenia but honestly zelenia might just be the hardest "normal" fight in the game.

golden jewel
#

level restrictions were lifted for glamour too right?
my numbers still show up red in the pop up and I havent tried yet personally

visual geyser
#

How hard is magitaur

#

Wanna be done with forked so baaad

boreal pumice
#

should be easier now since your look at 9% increase from just mastery the new jobs +2% from dnc buff then adding in the debuffs from dnc/spell making it easier

jade nimbus
#

Oh, wait

#

New phantom jobs to level

#

I forgot

jade nimbus
#

I'm not gonna say one of the worst dungeons out there... but definitely on the bad scale for DT

jolly flume
#

it blows

low hearth
#

y’all not rocking with Dark City Treno ?!?!

zealous meteor
visual geyser
#

Mistwake dungeon is probably the second worst dungeon this expac

#

First being origenics probably

zealous meteor
#

....huh

#

i've only run it twice so far tbf
but it's fun imo

wicked delta
#

I think the first DT dungeon is worse than mistwake

#

Ion even remember its name its that forgettable

austere jay
loud nymph
wicked delta
#

Long ass name for a forgettable dungeon

low hearth
#

Underkeep was peak ngl

wicked delta
#

That boat section at the start is straight up ass

loud nymph
#

ihuykatumu

#

I had to look it up

zealous meteor
#

ihuykatumu isn't a difficult name smh

wicked delta
#

Mistwake is boring but at least you don’t get interrupted by Alisaie beefing with a dude

zealous meteor
#

lemme guess you can't spell mehhwatsoan either

#

-# inb4 i misspelled it

visual geyser
loud nymph
wicked delta
#

Nobody said it was hard its just a forgettable dungeon

low hearth
#

That was a W patch

wicked delta
#

Not bad just ok

#

I just hate dungeons that are slogs

#

Why origenics is worst dungeon to me is cus of that

loud nymph
wicked delta
#

Turtle made that shit soooo zzzz

verbal frost
#

what are drgmelds

loud nymph
#

piety so you can pray to rngesus better

rain geode
#

Honestly my big problem with the first leveling dungeon in DT is it doesn't move the plot forward at all its almost as bad as the Siren song sea

verbal frost
loud nymph
wicked delta
verbal frost
#

?

#

the lvl 91 dungeon

#

I think it's actually really good for what it is

#

obviously a dungeon like The Tower of Zot or Holminster Switch clears it

boreal pumice
verbal frost
#

but it's still a good first dungeon

#

and the bosses are good

rain geode
wicked delta
verbal frost
#

but ye obviously 7.0 msq is a joke it should have been a new journey to begin with with new characters

boreal pumice
#

problem with 1st dungeon is that your slowed down by the rp of the boat then going up the leaders like 3 times

verbal frost
#

at least I think they realize they fuck up and are starting to add actual new characters in post dt

rain geode
#

I don't dislike 7.0 but it's a pretty weak first dungeon

verbal frost
#

it's like a tv show that can never move on from the original characters and they keep getting worse because of that

#

when as the seasons go on you have to start developing new characters and hit new plot points

wicked delta
#

The boat section is the only reason I hate it

#

The rest of the dungeon is like

low hearth
rain geode
#

Mechanically it's fine just another dungeon

wicked delta
#

Whatever

verbal frost
wicked delta
#

Uts fine

low hearth
#

Yea

wicked delta
#

But the boat makes me pepeBored

boreal pumice
#

alexandra has the same problem but less of it

wicked delta
#

Alexandria’s RP shit isnt as long at the very least

verbal frost
#

at least it not worse than that origenics fucking mid

verbal frost
#

issue is that the dungeons that aren't cinematic should have more engaging pulls

#

than just 2 mob packs before cutoff

wicked delta
#

Meso is my favorite dungeon from DT but the two pulls shit is so bedge

#

Idk why they still insist on doing this like holy fuck

#

Tanks are basically immortal now anyway

loud nymph
#

square enix is allergic to interesting and engaging trash pulls

#

as evidence I submit the existence of 7.45 criterion

#

with no trash pulls

wicked delta
#

Shit is too hard sorry

#

Trash mobs are impossible

jade nimbus
#

Oh, ye, this dungeon is on par with a bad ew dungeon

jolly flume
#

im still mad about that

#

don't remind me

loud nymph
jade nimbus
#

And are accounting for the avarage ffxiv player

wicked delta
#

Fuck

wicked delta
#

Troia is so fucking ass

#

I did it on my alt and I think I actually fell asleep at some point

#

LOL

verbal frost
#

It’s sad because they actually do it in deep dungeon lol

rain geode
#

I actually got that in roulette yesterday

jade nimbus
wicked delta
#

Like not even a joke I was so fucking bored

verbal frost
#

How is Troia bad ngl?

#

That dungeon is lit af

loud nymph
#

how is it not

verbal frost
#

Wym?

wicked delta
#

I’m just not gonna engage with that

verbal frost
#

Ye it has like one weird boss

jade nimbus
#

In general I think a good chunk of ew dungeons suffer not from being bad, but from being just fooring

verbal frost
#

Everything else is cool

wicked delta
#

You have your own opinion and I highly disagree

loud nymph
#

boring bosses
boring trash
undyeable armor

wicked delta
#

👍

verbal frost
#

Scarmiglione boring tho?

loud nymph
#

yes?

verbal frost
#

Compared to the average dungeon boss

loud nymph
#

which is a shame too because he's a cool dude

wicked delta
#

I cant remember a single endwalker dungeon I like outside of zot

loud nymph
#

but to be relegated to boring dungeon hell

#

scarmiglione didn't deserve that

verbal frost
#

Ye I mean should’ve been trial

#

They all should have

rain geode
#

zots good I liked dead ends

verbal frost
#

But still a above average dungeon boss

wicked delta
#

Dead ends just gives me trauma

verbal frost
#

ShB & EW dungeons are my fav actually

rain geode
#

Watching groups wipe to the first boss is funny

craggy marsh
#

Gonna be honest the replay and memorability value of a dungeon resides in the dungeon gear for me

verbal frost
#

I think ShB has the best dungeons and then Endwalker is second

jade nimbus
wicked delta
#

Would be on list of dungeons I like but endwalker mentor roulettes traumatized me lmao

jade nimbus
#

It was alright

verbal frost
#

And probably Stormblood is 3rd imo

craggy marsh
#

if the gear looks like shit then i'm never gonna run it again

#

unless I get it for a roullete

jade nimbus
#

Anima had a cool design, too bad they wasted it on a dungeon boss

verbal frost
#

ShB is when they started to make good dungeon bosses

#

The ones before ShB are mostly shit

wicked delta
#

I had a 50 minute dead ends run on multiple occasions back in endwalker and ever since I just

#

I cant

verbal frost
#

Dead Ends top five dungeon in the game fs

wicked delta
#

I physically cannot bring myself to like dead ends anymore

verbal frost
#

Mt Gulg Ktisis Dead Ends

#

They all peak

loud nymph
#

I like dead ends and ktisis

verbal frost
#

Ktisis my personal fav

loud nymph
#

I struggle to think of any other EW dungeons that really grabbed me

verbal frost
#

I think it’s the coolest dungeon in xiv

rain geode
#

I've only done ktisis once

verbal frost
#

Honestly I think all of the 6.0 dungeons are really cool

loud nymph
jade nimbus
#

Tbf I still think the best dungeon in the game is Ghymlyt dark

loud nymph
#

just nothing special imo

verbal frost
#

The post ew dungeons are worse for sure

jade nimbus
#

Not from a fight stand point too

verbal frost
#

Anima is one of the coolest dungeon bosses I’m ngl

loud nymph
#

and babil makes me annoyed because they blew Anima on a dungeon boss

#

instead of making it a full trial

verbal frost
#

I still think they can make Anima a legit quantum fight or something

rain geode
#

A big issue babil has is its a tower climb immediately after a tower climb

verbal frost
#

Or a criterion

wicked delta
verbal frost
#

They can still make

jade nimbus
#

F

verbal frost
#

A high difficulty anima fight

wicked delta
#

As a dungeon its actually pretty fun tho

verbal frost
#

But they prob never will

wicked delta
#

Second boss kinda blows but generally its fun

verbal frost
#

Vanaspati pretty cool also

wicked delta
#

Hell

#

Bo

#

No

jade nimbus
#

I liked the vibes of it as a live battlefield, that everyone is there to help and etc

rain geode
#

I mean if we can have 2 trains I'm sure we can have 2 animas

verbal frost
#

My least favorite 6.0 dungeon is prob Altiascope and that dungeon is fine

wicked delta
#

Vanaspati is such a shit dungeon hell fucking no

jade nimbus
#

Also the final boss is the scissor sisters

loud nymph
#

vanaspati has some pretty awesome body horror stuff

verbal frost
#

It’s actually hard

craggy marsh
#

Vanaspati is a cool story moment but the dungeon itself? No that shit is ass

verbal frost
#

And the bosses are good

craggy marsh
#

Vanaspati is hard?????

wicked delta
#

Vanaspati is not hard

#

LOL

verbal frost
#

The trash in Vasaspati hits hard

#

Ye

#

If you a noob

jade nimbus
#

So it is dogshit

verbal frost
#

Compared to the average dungeon

craggy marsh
#

I hate Vanaspati bc of forced single pulls

verbal frost
#

Zot and Vanaspati trash hit hard

craggy marsh
#

that shit is so ass

verbal frost
loud nymph
#

the body horror stuff doesn't elevate it above average

verbal frost
#

But you like the DT dungeons?

craggy marsh
rain geode
#

I mean you judge a dungeon on mechanics and story so some bad dungeon can get a boost by fitting into the story well

loud nymph
#

and sadly I also don't love the music

craggy marsh
wicked delta
#

Yeah it has 3

jade nimbus
#

I'll give it to the first boss, 'what is left' and 'what is right' are fun puns to use as attack names

clear plume
#

Atiascope is underrated

verbal frost
#

and EW dungeons have the best battle themes

craggy marsh
#

Vanaspati has 3 forced single pulls and 2 of them are the "Sorry you can't progress bc there's a log in the way"

verbal frost
#

Altiascope has good bosses

rain geode
#

Razors edge is real good

verbal frost
#

Altiascope is a good dungeon

#

but the Ilberd part is ass

wicked delta
#

Vanaspati is one of the worst dungeons in this game and ill dig my heels into that take until I die

#

I genuinely despise it

verbal frost
#

horrible take imo

#

there are so much worse dungeons

craggy marsh
#

It's a cool story dungeon

#

but story moments don't make a dungeon good

verbal frost
#

Vanaspati is like a B tier dungeon at worst

#

there are so many shit dungeons

#

look at ARR and HW dungeons

#

lol

wicked delta
#

I dont care about story for a dungeon if the dungeon fucking sucks

verbal frost
#

how is Vanaspati bad compared to those

jade nimbus
verbal frost
#

Vanaspati is good quality

craggy marsh
wicked delta
#

I dont care about ARR/HW dungeons at all

verbal frost
#

the bosses are well designed

#

ye it has like 1 or 2 single pulls

#

who cares honestly the other stuff is fun

#

can't say the same for dt dungeons

craggy marsh
#

this is why Mt Gulg is peak bc you have that BIG pull at the end

wicked delta
#

If I judged the game by the standards of 10 year old content then all my worst things would just be ARR dungeons and Alexander

craggy marsh
#

shit is fire

jade nimbus
#

arr and hw dungeons are mostly whatever, but they were also made 10 years ago at this point

verbal frost
#

ye shb dungeons are the best in the game

#

nobody debating that

jade nimbus
#

so they get a pass

wicked delta
#

Endwalker is recent content and fits their current design philosophy

jade nimbus
#

some of them also got remade tbf

verbal frost
#

shb dungeons is the best combination of good bosses and fun pulls

#

so it's peak dungeon design

craggy marsh
jade nimbus
#

it is what it is

loud nymph
verbal frost
#

stormblood dungeons had fun pulls but mid bosses

jade nimbus
#

the Nhidogg dungeon got a better final fight iirc

verbal frost
#

malikah is prob my least fav shb dungeon

wicked delta
verbal frost
#

but it's not even bad imo

#

malikah has fun bosses

#

and the pulls are actually something

loud nymph
craggy marsh
#

I think the Hraesvelgr fight lost its charm after the rework

verbal frost
#

the aesthetic is just boring imo

daring pine
#

ok guys welcome to malikah's well

craggy marsh
#

bc it's just a generic dragon fight now

daring pine
#

this is an in

verbal frost
#

ARR & HW dungeons are shit

daring pine
#

this is a + aoe

verbal frost
#

everyone knows

daring pine
#

this is a raidwide

verbal frost
#

ye there's like

#

some exceptions

#

obviously aetherochemical is a top five dungeon

#

everyone knows

wicked delta
#

Um

#

Yeah thats an opinion

daring pine
#

what the fuck are you talking about

craggy marsh
#

ARF is a top five? huh?

verbal frost
#

ARF peak

daring pine
#

AI generated ass opinion

craggy marsh
#

In what way is ARF peak

#

the bosses suck ass

verbal frost
#

bait

wicked delta
#

Only the last boss is kinda cool

verbal frost
#

only dungeon with a phase 2

#

and the theme is good

craggy marsh
#

what about the first boss is cool

verbal frost
craggy marsh
#

or the second boss

verbal frost
#

Regulus

#

idk it's fucking regulus lol

craggy marsh
#

yeah what about him

warped gate
#

everytime i see cooly in here he always baiting an argument

craggy marsh
#

what does he do

verbal frost
#

easily the best HW dungeon

#

lbr

craggy marsh
#

he's a cool character but what does he do

verbal frost
#

ARR and HW dungeons are just powercrept

dull drum
verbal frost
#

they are not balanced properly

rain geode
#

Huh I've finally met someone who like ARF what a fun day

verbal frost
#

it's not an awful boss

#

if a boss is not awful I don't really care honestly

craggy marsh
#

what are his mechs

#

I legit can't think of them

verbal frost
#

he makes stuff explode

#

and line aoes

#

smth like that

wicked delta
#

He does line aoes and summons bots to do more line aoes

craggy marsh
#

you mean normal boss mechanics?

#

that's like almost every garlean boss fight

rain geode
#

I meme but tbf ARFs final boss is the first point the game seems willing to just kill a sprout

wicked delta
#

Right like lol

#

Its nothing special at all

verbal frost
#

arf peak

craggy marsh
#

does that mean Prae is peak bc Gaius mechanics

wicked delta
#

Literally only the ascian fight in ARF has any kind of significance

craggy marsh
#

Ya

verbal frost
#

you only crae abt bosses

#

the trash is fun

wicked delta
#

Everything else is shit from a butt

verbal frost
#

the music is peak

#

the story is peak

#

this is peak heavensward

wicked delta
#

Hahahahaha

#

Okay good ragebait man

craggy marsh
#

What even are the mobs in ARF

verbal frost
#

how is ARF trash boring?

#

lol

craggy marsh
#

generic allagan mobs?

warped gate
#

next hes gonna say the mech segment in praetorium is fun

verbal frost
#

u literally have a room where like

#

25 mobs spawn

#

and u have to destroy a add

craggy marsh
#

yeah and they die in 3 gcds

verbal frost
#

ok that's just a gearcreep issue

#

what can u do

rain geode
#

Tbf all trash is boring (or chill if you want to be diplomatic)

verbal frost
#

do you want me to say all ARR and HW dungeons are ass

#

because gearcreep exists

#

b/c no that's just bad take

wicked delta
#

From old HW videos I watched they never really hurt in the first place

craggy marsh
#

that's like saying "Doma Castle is peak bc of the first pull with all the spiders" when even at content those spiders died super fast

wicked delta
#

Its not gear creep the dungeon is just designed like that

verbal frost
#

doma castle is peak tho?

craggy marsh
#

is it?

verbal frost
#

that and ala mhigo are best stormblood dungeons for sure

daring pine
#

doma castle is only peak because fuck yotsuyu

verbal frost
#

well actually what are post stb dungeons

#

actually nah

#

stb got that one banger side dungeon

#

this is peak xiv

craggy marsh
wicked delta
verbal frost
#

& this also

#

it's sad we don't get much side dungeons anymore

craggy marsh
#

swallows compass is good I will give that one up

verbal frost
#

because they finally started making really good ones in stormblood

warped gate
#

nah

verbal frost
#

tho we still get lke 2 per expac

wicked delta
#

Swallows was pretty aight

verbal frost
#

so it's better than nothing

warped gate
#

all the things cooly likes i dont

wicked delta
#

Kugane castle was pretty whatever

verbal frost
#

ye just an opinion not bait

wicked delta
#

Very mid dungeon

craggy marsh
#

Kugane castle has the Yojimbo fight right?

wicked delta
#

Yea

verbal frost
#

no you need to detox not everytihng is bait

craggy marsh
#

That one was okay I guess

wicked delta
#

Yea it was just okayge

#

I didn’t care for it

verbal frost
#

I rate ost very hgih in dungeons

#

boss = trash = ost > aesthetic

wicked delta
#

I turn bgm off for half the dungeons I go into so that’s not a factor for me

verbal frost
#

but everyone has their own criteria

craggy marsh
#

To me a "peak" dungeon is something like Akademia Anyder

verbal frost
#

kugane castle is a bop

verbal frost
#

but I wouldn't say it's top tier

#

probably the tier below that for me

#

akademia is S tier vibes though

wicked delta
#

I literally do mentor roulettes every single day and that means I have done every dungeon in this game too many times to count

verbal frost
#

any ancient dungeon is

wicked delta
#

Story doesn’t matter to me

#

The gameplay matters

verbal frost
#

well actually

#

if you played 7.4

#

u would know

wicked delta
#

And most of these dungeons are shit in that regard

verbal frost
#

akademia is a relevant dungeon rn

#

b/c it has the words of halmarut

craggy marsh
verbal frost
#

the words of Halmarut

wicked delta
#

A dungeon can be pretty hype the first time but on repeat runs hype doesn’t matter to me at all

craggy marsh
#

I'm not thinking about how tragic and sad the fall of Amaurot is on my 50th run of it

#

i'm thinking "Oh god this fucking place again"

verbal frost
#

Amaurot is actual good design dungeon tho

#

be serious

craggy marsh
#

Ya it's cool but I was just using an example of how the story is meaningless on repeat runs

wicked delta
#

Undekeep was fun the first time but repeating it I was like ok i just have a brain disease from this now

verbal frost
#

story = vibes to me

#

kinda

#

story & ost & aesthetic

craggy marsh
#

I love story but on the 50th run the story isn't gonna wow me anymore

verbal frost
#

underkeep is a shitty dungeon

#

that's probably the worst dt dungeon honest to god

wicked delta
verbal frost
#

besides origenic

#

wtf is good about underkeep

verbal frost
#

the ost mayhbe

wicked delta
#

Yes

verbal frost
#

b/c find the princess is good

wicked delta
#

We wiped 3 times to the first boss alr

#

Then we wiped to the bird

#

I was like yep

#

This dungeon fucking sucks

#

I took penalty

craggy marsh
#

My first run I wiped to the first boss bc I was a shit player at the time

#

but the other 2 went okay

verbal frost
#

best dt dungeon so far is Strayborough but nobody ready for that

rain geode
#

For me most dungeons feel the same mechanically so story is what really matters to me in a dungeon

verbal frost
#

7.5 dungeon could be peak tho

verbal frost
#

but I rate everything equally

#

it just about the vibe

craggy marsh
#

I also rate a dungeon by how fast I can do it

#

I don't like a 20 minute slog

verbal frost
#

there like no dungeons like that anyways

craggy marsh
#

if I have to farm it

verbal frost
#

every dungeon follows the same formula

wicked delta
#

20 minute slog is why I dislike ARF when theres a first timer lol

craggy marsh
verbal frost
#

1 - 1 - 2 -1 -1 -2 - 1 -1 - 4

craggy marsh
wicked delta
#

Those cutscenes are so fucking loooooooong bruh

verbal frost
#

1 minute on trash pulls

#

2 minute on first 2 bosses

#

and 4 minute on final boss

craggy marsh
#

getting ifrit in your tiral roullete when you have a first timer

wicked delta
verbal frost
#

it's a shame you play with ost off

#

no wonder you hate EW dungeons

craggy marsh
verbal frost
#

when EW dungeon has the 2 best battle themes for dungeons

wicked delta
#

Why does that shit take 6 million business years to finish

verbal frost
#

fucking clears that mid dt theme

#

😭

wicked delta
#

Man idc

#

I hear that shit more than I want to

#

I’d rather listen to my own playlist

verbal frost
#

ye that's okay

#

igu

wicked delta
#

Its literally why I dont rate ARR/HW dungeons

jolly flume
#

this is real peak

wicked delta
#

In mentor thats all you fucking get

jolly flume
#

real ones know

verbal frost
#

criterion has unique theme?

#

tf

wicked delta
#

Its all stone vigil

#

Its all fucking stone vigil

#

I hate it

#

So I dont judge them

verbal frost
#

no wonder they said fuck criterion

wicked delta
#

Because I already know they’d be F- tier

verbal frost
#

they making unique themes for criterion lmao

#

shit a bop tho

wicked delta
#

My friends tried out a bit of criterion savage and got their asses beat

verbal frost
#

but not in the shitty way they doing it rn

#

they just reworking stuff rn so it is duty support compatible

#

nobody cares abt that

#

just remove roulette and tome system atp

wicked delta
#

Id rather they find a way to keep the unique mechanics than whatever they’re doing right now

#

Well unless its hullbreaker ilse

verbal frost
#

they never gonna admit defeat they gonna keep doing it

wicked delta
#

Isle

#

Whatever

verbal frost
#

hullbreaker is a pain but I can't call it a legit bad dungeon

wicked delta
#

They should just delete that dungeon from the game

verbal frost
#

b/c it's interesting

wicked delta
#

The amount of andies

#

That will sit in the second room

#

How do we find key?

verbal frost
#

lol

wicked delta
#

Monkey cannot easily see key

#

Monkey confused

#

While im getting pummeled by evil treasure chests

verbal frost
#

wtf is even best arr dungeon?

#

snowcloak maybe

#

they all mid af

wicked delta
#

All of them suck

#

Snowcloak has 1 interesting giga pull though so I guess that one yeah

undone tide
#

holy fuck

verbal frost
#

snowcloak a vibe too

#

we need more snow dungeons

#

idk wtf the 7.4 end on

#

but is the next expansion going to be a winter expansion?

#

b/c that might be peak

verbal frost
#

this like a genshin patch art

wicked delta
#

Not Genshin

verbal frost
#

take out zarool ja tho bro has no aura

wicked delta
#

Erenville actually has melanin

proper cave
#

For half a second I thought that’s an odd way to hold a gun

rapid whale
#

genshin invented anime

verbal frost
#

dw I quit that gacha slop years ago

rapid whale
wicked delta
#

You and your old man gifs

undone tide
#

worst thing about this art is it doesn’t have otis

verbal frost
#

take out zarool ja

#

actual 0 aura

wicked delta
#

Man he aura farmed and died

verbal frost
#

rip otis

#

pour one out

#

ppl making actual reddit rants about how my job is shit it's so over

wicked delta
#

Would be devastating if they didn’t

flat bane
# undone tide holy fuck

You know, now that I think about it, it's odd that granblue never got a FFXIV collab, considering it's the same artist that does the splash art for both and the similarities between the two worlds

Nope
