Yea i know about the restrictions on some fights, but why can't they implement something for Blue Mage to where you can solo them?
It's not easy to fill a PF up for unrestricted let alone synced
LOL
If anyone is on Materia help join my party for DSR unlock ty
time to cler
lmao in advanced with randoms i hate the new system everyone is using, 1 person can troll and screw you out of your coins
c41 when
why are we not just rolling left to right and leaving when you get 1
bc how do i win more than 1 if i do that
Maybe tomorrow but i'll see how I feel
If not then probably on da weekend
lol i mean if everyones fine with ffa then whatever but if we agree to split, left to right is best way to not get fucked by some ass
true loot should go to the cutest
bro i had somebody tell me my character has "young milf energy" when using the reprimand emote and ive not coped about it yet

i dont think ive ever seen that lockicon unless im high
i think? it means it was a private log
young
milf
?
Neither have I
oh the lock is gone on it now
weirdge
aaah
That's why it should all go to me
in lvl 80 content how good is 986 dps as a gnb?

u can have kids at 18 you know
are you gonna call an 18 year old a milf
I've been called that at about that young before
20 year old who has to take care of a child and 20 year old who hasnt moved out of their parents house are vastly different energy idk how ur confused on what it means
answer the question
like what do u think milf stands for
bro doesn't want to get cancelled 🥀
whats there to cancel somebody for?

"this guy thinks 20 year old women are hot, get his ass" even in 2026 cant be bad to say

answer the question 🙂
Man I Love Fishing
when i go for young people its more to be a mentor role to them, not ones already with a bunch of responsibility, so while the idea of a young milf existing is something i get i dont think its something id call somebody ever
if i want somebody with responsibilities i prefer my own age.

i am much too busy to be babysitting
i do be fucked in the head frfr
We can tell
It's not very endearing
Almost creepy, even
But I'm sure you're aware of that
dont ask questions you dont wanna know the answer to idc
Just wanted to confirm some suspicions
you know youre in redditcord when "guy is into women" is considered a suspicion
?
I'm sorry to hear that you can't seem to comprehend what you just said
But, I'm not expecting you to be the brightest 🩷
brother whatever point you might have had was immediately nullified by starting the sentence with "when i go for young people"
actually crazy
im mid 20s, somebody being 20 would be young yes
going after young people to be a mentor is also kinda...
can this weird conversation cease
mfs think 20 year olds are children i guess.
is tht from league of legends.
yes


im bad at leg of legends
uhh
lol
dysforeaa#uwu
.
i forgot we played val together
im down to join you for anything lulu 
im in bed rn tho

W main
and I was learning Ornn too

YEAH you get to be cruise chaser or brute justice or the fat oppressor
NO FR
bring rival wings roulette
at least mog tome event makes it relevant...kinda
queue it for the love of the game
I remember queuing for rival wings as a sprout once and I was in that queue for 300 minutes

brokie
i have the opposite problem. i have been blamed for distracting someone by giving them intervention
how dare you mit them
ngl
i throw random shit on my tanks all the time
i never have an issue
thats on them lol
broke: not using fairy tether
woke: using fairy tether to heal the tank
bespoke: using fairy tether on your dps buddy so you can find them at all times
8.0 will let us spend 20 fairy gauge to increase the potency of the next Broil by 50%
I used to use penumbra to make my lalafell buddy as tall as a miqo
Helped with not getting them lost in all the vfx
@grand mesa i think you subconsciously influenced me to pick asol in this aram match bc of your name
have fun 
I forgot what asol's kit is
I have like
10 games of arena and they're all on one guy
hold q and hope for the best
“the noise scared me”

I wanted to post the shaking kitten gif but my gif folder isn't loading so you'll just have to imagine it
i personally tunnel vision so hard that i don’t notice any buff or heal that someone puts on me
it was my first time playing asol ever
i could not figure out for the life of me how the q and w worked at the start but i got it

arthars has some pretty bad takes but his lalafell rant was p good
sometimes a broken clock is right for a single second
basically lalafell are worst in slot to have in your static because they’re harder to find
i do have annoyingly bright clothing and hair on mine
but the tiny stature doesn't help
i would never play lala because i like being able to see my glam
if i was lala id just be frog
tiny blm is just funny to me
tho
I've turned her into a femhroth recently
Just wanted to try smth new
it's true
god I hate them
some of the best players I've ever played with are lalafells but they'd be better as femras me thinks
til Chiyo HATES me
look man I already have a racial vision debuff I don't need you to be a third of the size too 

Having 3-4 large width races in a raid group is always funny when people have to stack in a spot
"where the fuck am I"
I say
Buried under the sea of roes and hroths
mb
my static is like
all different races except for the 3 roes (me included)
xd
our mt is a maleroe warrior and the gnb femroe is ot
and then there’s just me
da caster
you can use glamourer to turn them all into femra
more of the arcadion fighters showing up for events now
dancing green and sugar riot were the first right? don't recall any before them
im the little ladies event? i believe so
gonna be absolutely wild seeing tyrant show up randomly
i do hope we have more special npcs show up like that in future events too
makes it more fun to look around
get job/role quest npcs too
yee
and surely red hot and deep blue show up for moonfire
If there ain't a wave to ride
gotta be them just catching waves in costa del sol
just make one yourself
I need metem
trueeee
brute bomber and howling blade valentines day :3
i need to see them add alpha and omega chilling in event areas too
enjoying the festivities
they showed up in last moonfire
ooh i didnt know
the good ending
we had some of the wachumeqimeqi npcs in valentione’s
blacksmith hroth lady and the gay rabbits
MAN you can't be making me cry like this
Me when the trail dawns
screaming crying throwing up for nearly the entirety of the last zone
me at the end of S9: whew that must be the end of it
last zone: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
lowk I think I cried more for the final terminal shutdown than hydaelyn
I was initially like "okay dt is decent" but this last zone really changed it
the music got to me so bad bro it wasn’t even funny
I'm ready for Solution67
WHY CANT WE HAVE IT BOTH
and then there was the echoes music
the original music already hit hard as fuck
your choice ofc but i personally recommend doing duty support for the last dungeon so you can just kinda take it all in
players these days just kinda speed thru it
oh yeah they're not kidding
they gave you no choices for npcs
aw hell nah not the leitmotif
😃
I want duty support party of 3 Treno Citizens
theyre goated dps
AW HELL NAH NOT THE QUOTES FLASHBACKS
i believe there's actually two citizens that logging tracks as one entity but it is still funny to see logs showing people getting significantly outdps'd by the npcs lol
the music is goated af
Wasn’t super significant but still lol
xdd
@trim frost i was about to go to my first day of my new job
then i realised for the first week of training i’m not doing the full working hours
so i just went back home
lolol
u gotta show up and be a self starter or whatever linkedin wants you to believe
thank god they re-recorded the voice line for that trial
LOL
i got the job already its fine
i played in jp so i thought it was good 😌
training hours are only 1-5 so that’s neat
flexible
like 10-20 hrs a week kinda deal
i feel like i'm good at interviews but i so rarely get them these days that it's just kinda 🧍♀️ when i'm in them sometimes
a lot of stuff i say i just pull out of my ass but in retrospect it usually works out
have fun tomorrow
if you put up a pf for it and get like 4 - 5 people the queue might pop pretty quick
decent amount of degen hour gamers
6-7 people even
eh I have to sleep anyway lol
explode
it's 3am already
it's a monday morning probably less degen people
I want to hit the ending cutscene with energy
so did you end up a dawntrail lover or dawntrail hater
nuance isnt allowed btw pick an extreme
lmfao I love how ticket sales for NA fanfest is through this fancy lottery process
fun(?) detail i didn't really notice in the dungeon my first couple times around
and berlin is like: eventbrite take it or leave it
when sphene puts up the shield to let the other ship escape
granted, eventbrite with queue but still
right as the other ship escapes past the wall it immediately crashes
LOL

sure
this is fucking atrocious dude
i’ve got an hour and a half before i leave for work
yeah
be there in a minute
if it’s not my static days (tues/wed/thurs) then there’s a 90% chance im on balmung
actually my static is on crystal
um
i only go back to faerie for my retainer
faerie sucks amirite\
no i like it
i just also like balmung
i’m a crystal girlie at heart
i transferred to aether for raiding and then i ended up with a crystal static..
im coming
had to boot my pc back up
lala too big
actually yeah now that you mention it that is one tall lala
or perhaps on short femra

i'm in a very orientalist time of my life

i need to dust back up on cn
i learned it for like 4 years in middle school and i barely remember it
Chinese brainrot has really nailed the 'ai content made by humans' vibe
Gen AI was a mistake
This is incredible
It's existed for way longer lol
the chinese mastered humanslop long ago

why did they go so hard on the bard af gear
i had to speedrun the EW role quests to make it dyable smh
its cuz you treating it like a grind instead of a side thing thta takes care of itself no
^
That’s not paste
Oh right
Honestly got done with paste by doing a little bit of everything
Paste isnt ally raid
I did fates, a lot of deep dungeon
I was really happy the variant dungeon and advanced gave pastes lol
I did fates rolos and ...thats it
Idk if I would’ve been done if it didn’t
Some oc for new jobs
Criterion gives some too
Same
Oh you said that
Ye but I’m not clearingbcriterion
Unfort I loved the ew ones but this one looks a lil too difficult for me
do reclears 24 times ez
is that the large one
is it common to level all classes with daily roulettes (and also, without any bannable aid)
I'm almost done with this journey
what else you gonna do
oh wait it is nvm

i thought the one who was parsing was the normal one but maybe they both parse
i think the other one already has 99s maybe
ya the real one doesnt have to pay ppl to parse
how hard is this criterion
@rapid whale what is ur mathematical approximation for how long it would take me to learn criterion
more context
blind guides all fresh just you fresh etc
i think for most ppl its prob like
slightly more than 2 lock outs
o thats not that bad
Big number make dopamine machine go brrr
He just thinks people will make fun of him less
Overcompensating
Under compensation really, bro could be the best and he’d still have to pay people to play with him with his attitude
wtf
nice
i almost died
my shirk was down and then the drk (mt) shirked me like 20s before great wall
i had to turn off my stance and pray that they voked
i could just make you food and pots, you know that right
i think they just fat fingered it
nooo
i can make i'm just lazy

@daring pine look, two bnuuys (and also finally cleared m7s :D)
just one more raid before I have to pay them again to stay bnuuy
unfortunately it’s real
#technology-discussion message
theres a link and video here
i hate that games are trying to replicate real life so much
realism is fine but stop trying to look real life
as far as i’ve seen it’s been universally hated so hopefully they’ll walk it back but for the amount of money and resources they’ve presumably put towards it i feel like they’re just gonna inject it in everything to prove the worth of the investment to shareholders
oh 100%. nvidia doesnt drop something like this unless they spent large amounts of money on it
you gotta justify your companies 20 gazillion usd valuation somehow
ai investment ouroboros
unfun fact i recently learned that im two degrees of separation away from jensen huang
so is the tldr the new dlss uses ai to completely redraw the frame giving games that signature ai look
is it worth trying to reclear 12 today 
never gonna touch this game again 🚬
ig might as well bookrun
other games
no lmfao
trying to convince myself to start m10 this late is like why even
where is that joonbob video
of dynamic difficulty in PF
he might have taken it down. i can't find it
idk
what that mean
it's not as funny to describe it. just him showing a graph of how FF actually has customizable difficulty
bc the later in the week you wait to do reclears the harder the game gets
mine isnt 
oh dear what is that ending song
it def feels out of the singer's pitch range
hmmm it's not bad but the beginning was really rough
a bit too airy for what feels like it should be a power song, but it picks up at the chorus
there's also the composer making the singer try to hit a bunch of off beats with the syllables which is hell to do with everything else going on
I agree with the airiness, it's also different from the style of previous expansions' motifs where the lead vocalist has a very clear voice
the chorus was kind of overpowering at the beginning
I liked it a lot more towards the middle, but the beginning was really really rough
they released an orchestral version
I'll need to listen to it sometime!
the song is really busy yeah
I guess I expected something more solo vocalist

that's the other arrangement
this singer did scream
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HY4iqsDWvP0 the mixing is really weird too
This was a challenge– I pretty much gave up where three groups are all simultaneously singing different lyrics so I just listed words that sound phonetically correct 😅 As always, your thoughts and suggestions are welcome in the comment section!
🎤 FFXIV Lyric Videos: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYKzbQU9NYDz-Hi_Ro5_X1C_mC72H2SD...
like 0:35 the "where" is all over the place
i think Akino should do the 8.0 theme ngl
they should've gotten lmm to do smile
my hot take is that i like the scream song but the vocals are too muted
they should have gotten Soken with a otamatone
fair
it kinda hurts my ears
it goes up and down like a siren
soken is allergic to making vocals sound clear
it feels like they boosted the loud parts of the vocalist way too much idk
it's kind of one of those "sounds ok as background game music but i wouldn't listen to it in the car"
when the vocalist is slightly loud it screws with the volume
i like the vocals in this a lot better https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZkLoga9tIO0

A big thanks to my patrons Scott Hebert,...
literally sounds like this
whenever the vocalist gets a little loud it sounds like they're peaking the mic
I'm curious how it'll sound if they invite the vocalist to perform live for fanfest
I think it would sound a lot better if the mixing was more even
well they wont
i feel like we'll never get M4 or M12 theme with original vocalist live
those have really good vocals (unsurprisingly)
idk about m4
M4 is probably my favorite song of arcadion
tonight the pf wipes idyllic dream
somebody help my misery's takin me
somobody help i'm losing what's left of me
(c41)
m4 is my favorit
the original vocalist idk if theyll perform
but she lives in LA so its possible actually
i just know the one time they performed m4 amanda sang it
she's probably hard to book
and/or expensive
well, compared to the budget SE likes to give FF14 stuff
idk what else she does but maybe
they should just get her addicted to FF14
chrissy costanza is the M4 singer. she's part of a band and also does songs for league
except riot actually dumps money into their events
the primals have no problems singing songs they cant sing
fanfest concert will be a banger either way
chrissy singing m4 song live would be like
one of the top things on my FF performance wishlist
like all your namedays have come at once
i want to listen to m7 live
oblivion, bee my honey,
that would go so fuckin hard
titania, scream
Ive joked about the concert having Bee My Honey play. One of my static mates has like. A physical reaction to that song. We're going together. 
jealous
fanfest will always be on the other half of the country rip
wish the primals would tour america
I'm. Very much paying out the ass for it. Nearly 1k for a flight, hotel, and the venue ticket.
as it plays a bunch of people in bee costumes start holding up nerf guns from the walls
and then everyone has to mario kart
This isnt even counting food or any stupidly expensive merch they will sell.
Budgeted ~2k for a 4 day trip.
Flying in Thur, Fri-Sat is FF, Sunday as a decompress day. Return Monday.
I'm flying out on the Tuesday before and leaving the Tuesday after
I wanna catch a baseball game while i'm there
I dont think ill ever get an opportunity like this ever again. Miracle I was able to snag tickets.
Same, this will be my first and only fanfest so I don't mind paying out the ass for stuff
And hopefully it won't be a repeat of the one in Las Vegas. 
(100 degree weather. That one guy willing/knowingly going into FF with the plague of 2020 and then being suprised on the bird app that people were pissed at him for his reckless endangerment.)
That was...yeah
guy definitely had a mental illness bc holy fuck
How do you go to a convention knowing you have covid
And expect sympathy from the people you put in harms way knowingly.
fr absolutely lunatic behavior
And made a comic telling everyone about it
chrissy is so good
no sunday concert this year unfortunately 😔
Still a concert tho right?
The FF 14 community will never cease to amaze me and make me laugh at it's insanity.
ye friday and saturday
but I heard no symphony this year
so just nothing on sunday
Piano Friday, Rock Saturday IIRC
I even got some of that preorder FF merch
Going with that runner backpack and Arcadion shirt. 
wait i just did m10n as drg
why is this so fun
to double dot
why was i not a drg main this whole time
I forgot to preorder merch rip
would've gotten the taco, fanfest, and arcadion shirts
It will be open again in May I think
fflogs realized they forgot to block people from using the old app
i mean i'm still using the uploader
A part of me wonders if they will poke fun at the billboard.
Given just how insane it was
wait hold on, you have to swap to the archon app now ?
i just updated it and
this is the same app
there's a "download archon app" button ig
oh you're on linux
it was like this for me until today ^

er yeah my version 9.0.whatever also looks the same
the upgrade to archon app button is there but it says "coming soon" when I click on it
yeah the functionality is the same for me
oh well i got the update from github now
no, you just can't have a version thats too old
its not a new thing either
i mean yeah its not new but you always get the button to update whenever they push an update, it didnt show for me at all
apparently I was a gazillion versions out of date
I was forced to update before, was a year ago or so
Usually I dont bother updating until it forces me
8.20 was the last update until 20 mins ago
weirdly enough other pepole im asking dont get the option to update either
I had to close and open fflogs a few times
who is it
i dare not find out
man what is happening in the cookie run kingdom fandom
the twink has too muich power
I finally know who that is because I started playing the game
I can't escape this dumb cookie discourse 😭
what
mb I started playing it again because people were talking about it


I just realized this is endgame lounge
mb

that was not meant to go into this server
Lmaoo
im so confused about a kids cookie game?
I dont blame you the character designs are cool but the popup ads are egregious
did the gacha game do gacha game things
sure did
classic
oh to tl;dr this, controversial story choices and the death of a major character
I thought you replied to the popup ads message
wat
the cookie game had a story and major characters
i thought it was just heehee hoohoo
the lore is shockingly deep but its not too surpising since the game is like 7 years old now, so they had to get serious sometime
czn has a story?
unfortunately
why do these companies even try when The Award Winning MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV ™ exists smh
the way i seen a comment describe it is basically its like piccolo kami thing
which dancer weapon goes good with the moggle suit?
potd glowy ones
potd?
idk they dont really have goofy weapons do they
im using the courtly lovers ones, cutest i could find
the ptod ones are just a glow of white energy cheap
Total cookie death
Okay wow, EW ex3 is a huge step up over ex1 and 2
This is true, but Zodiark EX compared to Valigarmanda EX... yeesh
follow the dorrito
i'm going through the 80-90 caster role quests rn and wow i'm going to dismantle the goddamn ishgardian church
these morons have learned nothing
church bad because they don't let you fuck dragons
Huh
they tried to summon thordan back
Dirty Dan and his Kpop Stans
lol
I'm new to endgame, I guess just spend capped tomestones on chestpiece and stuff?
not sure if there's a preference
ty!!!
just had a 25m Skydeeo
[Occult Crescent Beginning] || That basically means we'll be level 110 next expansion, right? since it says Level 100 and above ||
we dont know
Not necessarily but we will learn probably at fanfest
find out in fanfest i guess
Fanfest it is!
Last known info is yoship saying he’s “comfortable” going above level 100 because it’s just numbers and doesn’t mean much
But that’s like almost 2 years ago now
the orange blm set the hrothgar is wearing on the left looks hideous
that set was definitely not made for the color orange
I could see them doing a level squish, but at the end of the day it doesn’t really matter
i mean the levels themselves are just a number. they can change stats, levels of abilities etc. to achieve similar things (and they have)
Merit points let's go
they could but the psychology behind numbers makes people feel good
Numba go bigga
what if they squish the lvls weirdly, with every 7 lvls being an expansion
the stat squish got people a little unhappy but eventually got over it
Boss hp 10k
never liked having super high hp/damage tho
like tank havin 300k hp now feels way too high
How bad was it when they did the first squish
the worst offenders are the KMMOs with 500 HP bars
like 10 trillion HP but you can't even see what % the boss is at because it's 10 million X 1 million
i like having lower numbers so they're easier to digest and less cluttered
squishes are necessary for long-running games. wow just had it's fourth
squishy
damn i just missed a 3mil for M12 phase 1 clear
good meowning
10e12
It was lower numbers than now, BUT they increased the aggro overflow integer which makes the reason they had to do it no longer relevant for another 2~ expansions at current pace of gearing and assuming current potencies
The squish happened bc in bozja especially you’d run into scenarios where if the fight went long the tank damage was high enough that they’d overflow aggro and go back to zero, which is not ideal.
same reason wow's first squish happened. a heroic-only boss gained health when mistakes were made and it was possible to overflow it
Its related to my second favourite bug in ffxiv history, where in hw Astro could generate negative aggro and underflow to max and grief hunts
My favourite bug was 65535
Why don't they just make the values smaller but the text bigger
Bigger text is bigger damage monke brain
Its not that small numbers feel bad per se, it’s when your damage decreases that feels bad
Nobody thought damage was too low in hw, but going back to hw numbers would
am i the only one that never looks at the damage numbers on screen
It’s a thing about like, feeling you get stronger expack to expack being important to the meta narrative
and then in terms of dps numbers, they're different every tier anyways so i don't really compare
that's how i personally think about it (or don't think about it) at least
I remember when they did the stat squish and people were complaining and saying how they nerfed
Even tho our damage was the same
Numbers were just smaller
Your 200k was now 40k or whatever
it's a common complaint, but people tend to get over it after a week or so
i mean i can understand that some people would dislike it
i just don't really think about it at all myself
Another squish is inevitable at some point
the other extreme is making numbers go exponentially up
like lost ark shit
then everything loses its meaning
But I feel any level squish can’t happen without it being a msq off-ramp, it would feel atrocious to have all of hw be 5 levels where you play for 5 or 6 hours and get a single level, or if you get ahead of msq it feels it takes forever to catch up bc the quest level stays the same for too long
7 billion damage for one weaponskill
They could level squish but surely that would also come with slowing down how fast you level
The fact you can easily hit lvl 60 before finishing ARR is really silly
The issue with like, just halving levels and doubling xp requirements is that then levelling feels way more slow, even if it’s the same time wise because your progress goes by with fewer reward points.
And this game already has a lot of complaints about levelling taking a long time to catch up
If people put in 4 hours of msq and don’t level up that exacerbates those issues
Still think it’s funny how they told us that they increased the upper damage cap to 9,999,999 at ShB launch as future proofing. Then Bozja drops and WHM was breaking 11m with blood lily.
Then EW brings the stat squish.
I ultimately think the odds of senior players quitting over level 110 or 120 being “too high it loses meaning” is not nearly as large as a game already criticized for its msq pacing slowing down its reward moments more
So they’re better off planning ahead to next stat squish, make it a level squish too, and let you start msq on that expack at end of the current arc
I wonder if XIV will reach the point of being "too big for newcomers"
WoW was like that for me
Ffxiv gates a lot of players, especially people like couples who have a few hours a week to play an online game, they decide they want to do an mmo,,,, and it takes them half a year to beat arr even.
Like the normie audience is heavily gated by the msq
wow's onboarding has a lot to be desired, but it's much more streamlined now. 1-10 on the tutorial island, 10-80 in any past expansion you want, 80-90 in the current expansion
And knowing they’re only 20% though the amount of expansions they’d have to do to reach endgame is crazy to them at that point
I don’t think I’d have the time to fall in love with this game if I didn’t start in 2.4
I feel bad for people who want to get into XIV to play with their friends who are at endgame
Bc their options are to rush the msq or pay money to skip
ye
i can never recommend xiv
absolutely insane pitch
"super fun game! we can play together after you devote like 100 bucks and 500 hours"
It's called Mobile
And the worst part is that like, for a whole lot of those 500 hours the game literally babies you, compare how much you experience 100 hours into something like league vs ffxiv gameplay complexity wise
Yeah
You don’t feel like you’re engaging with it, you’re watching it happen
I always warn people that the msq does it's damnedest to make you a terrible player but it always ends up surprising people just how much they're lacking come savage first time
"But we can play through the game together right?"
Yeah, I can follow you around and afk while you do msq but what's not very fun
At least other MMOs you can like, make a fresh character
Out of everyone I've known can think of only one person that actually did well their first time thru but they had previous mmo raiding exp so I'm not even sure if that counts
But ffxiv doesn’t even reward players for that unless you’re a schizo with too much time on your hands
MB man
Btw @craggy marsh should I save a character for you
But it won't have the same impact on a replay
Or at least a 12
Oooh uhh sure! Ya atleast a 12 if you're up for it
Ok ok
Bapple hop on some mayram 
Real?
League of legumes
No cap frfr
i did this with my SO through EW and then she was excited to finally play through MSQ for the first time together. it was dawntrail
she doesn’t play anymore lol

playing through all of that for the promise of a story like ShB/EW
Reason: Do not goad people into breaking the rules or answering weird questions. #endgame-lounge message

🧍♀️okay
inch resting
because i was the weird one right right
yeah definitely
splat
im getting so many bunny pictures on twitter bc of villy
valcors can u come crystal and do expert roulette
bwughhguhg
save me cro
i was gonna do cc with a duo
man i just saw a "10 mil to stay until reset for phase 1 prog" that was 7/8
but bc of daylight savings i gotta sleep before then
so i didn't join 
10mil for prog wtf
thats kinda crazy
HRT price inflation hit nasty 💔
@trim frost bro this ast in my roulette
💔
hang on this guy cleared m9 let me check
not the treno citizen
sometimes i wonder how these people clear savage but then i remember m9s is baby
every piece of content's dps check is carryable
which I wish wasn't true but if it was too many people would cry
m11s is the first actual dps check i've run into so far but with gear it's a lot easier now
@rapid whale i dont get to use my KR chroma on ahri sadge
m9s has been cleared with 1 person doing 0 damage
my favorite part of getting to the end of a patch
🤝
What are you planning to do with so many gils? Buy the entire Ul'dah?
and despite this i still feel itd be healthier for the game if they nerfed subs
i cant get myself to care about crafting anymore
lol
I still gotta commend square for being like
"yeah let's go for a mesoamerican theme" in the trailer
and then blindsiding you with S9 and techy stuff
(though I didn't watch the tokyo fanfest reveal)
solution 9 was in a bunch of the live letter content and whatnot
they revealed s9 before release
probably because the early stuff alone wasn’t hype enough
which kind of had the effect that I spent half the msq going "so when do we get to s9"
as someone who knew about s9 before but not exactly when in the story
I rushed my ass through xak tural
is it supposed to be texas or something
it’s very ARR coded
that's an insult to texas
just with some blue stuff
as low of a bar as that is
it's like wild west but budget
best opening zone is lakeland
bro needs to check his own invites ngl
as someone who barely understands this, can you explain
are their parses just mid
HELLO, A FOUR???
a 4 with 6 kills is really bad
did they upload their parse getting carried or something wtf
Especially for a healer, right?
some people are just really bad at the game and no one has ever told them otherwise
how did they even clear savage with dead weight
it's easy to carry deadweights
savage isn't that numerically difficult
especially not after ten weeks of gear
oh, it's already been ten weeks huh...
Say that to M11S reclears T_T
Yup, entering week 11
one of my irl friends was basically shut-in when savage dropped lol
we killed 11 with ten deaths without even seeing the enrage cast two weeks ago
apparently they parse like 88 median which is pretty damn good
I wish I had the same groups
yeah I'm new to raiding in general so I'm starting from the ground up
the most I've done so far is only merchant's tale advanced in terms of difficulty
I had a Rpr earlier in my M9 prog that had about 202k hp
and like, sephirot ex way way back
Was apparently doing barely anymore damage than my 775 ass
And also had I think Pumpkin Potage as their food
Also was a male Au Ra with an edgy name
Well more than enough
Oh normal
no I mean M9S
Still enough but like… why
You won’t learn much from the last two tiers
hmmm
Maybe from M1 and M5
thanks
my friend raids a lot so I should ask them more questions down the line
but I don't wanna bug them too much with newbie questions
Ask here
Also the last Extreme is a good entry/in-between point
the train one right?
Plus you'll be get a weapon
I haven't done post-DT yet so need to do that sometime
Yes
Right, you can raid immediately without doing patches MSQ
yeah
I def need to get caught up before fanfest though
so I have like... about a month, along with finishing my cosplay
A month for less than 40 quests is doable by everyone
they gotta nerf sanguine scratch bruh
yo random question but
does the standalone fflogs uploader still exist
or am I forced to use their """archon app"""
I really don't need another heavy app
and y'know, overwolf
okay I downloaded 8.20.113 from https://github.com/RPGLogs/Uploaders-fflogs/releases
Contribute to RPGLogs/Uploaders-fflogs development by creating an account on GitHub.
9 seems to be the bloatware
they're committing to maintaining both
I had to google for this, their website from a glance only has the archon app for now
Archon App Lite
Coming SoonA lightweight version of the Archon App that only processes and uploads logs is coming soon! We'll update this page with a download link and more info once it's available.
the archon app doesn't use the overwolf hook as far as I'm aware though, thats their previous companion app which basically nobody used tbh
thank god, I was googling and read some overwolf stuff - and wasn't sure if it was the same
if it's not bloatware then I would be fine downloading it
it's certainly heavier than just the standalone uploader but I find some of the features quite nice for raid stuff
I used to play league and it felt like every overlay app was just overwolf
hey, as long as it's not overwolf I'm happy with it
I def overreacted a bit but I was so worried that fflogs just sold out
bro
me when i go to the complete wrong corner for orbital and trick three unfortunate souls to come with me
i lived though xd
tank priv
had a vpr just get 3 zero parses in a row in reclears when the group was only 9-11
tyfh
if im remembering right you can skip a fight reclear for the next one for the week right
it's been a minute
yes but you forfeit loot from all fights before it
