that caused vpr to get the extra hit instead of pct
hard to describe
idr when the proximity snapshots exactly. did vpr have to move for a cleave?
it happens so early in the fight i would just tell people the spots to stand and go next if wipe lol
they aren't like that far off it's just unfortunate coincidence.
wouldn't overthink it but if they are doing it repeatedly that's the issue they are slightly far from the clone they should be baiting.
also where that sage is it kinda sus
but drk is in a really good spot to make up for it
if it's out and e/w cones on one side then the other side is in and n/s
the e/w cone is pointing directly at the safe spot
the only way any given set of aoes is resolvable is for it to be n/s safe with the in
oh right
wc2 overkill incident
caramel popcorn wins that ngl
oh yeah fs
splatoon shoes
i would say the drk/sam are standing in the best spot, if everyone can stand smilarly on their side it reduces headaches and weird wipes
thank u for saying im standing in the best spot
like standing on the line between both colors
i stand way further back than that if im being real
cuz it lets me dodge either cone pattern
that is literally max melee
drk sam and whm mch are in really good spots
where they are standing it's pretty much not possible to get hit by another clone
getting doubled is usually because when dodging a cone someone is standing on top of their partner
it snapshots earlier
yeah dodging shouldnt be a problem
but like picto there standing so far from the line or viper standing so far close to the boss
will make it more unpredictable
if the dark clone is east
you can see the castbar for the dark / fire they go off before the cleaves I believe
dark clone targets the 2 nearest people
i stand on red dot
which if it was east would have been picto gnb
if you mean pct stand on that red dot that's a horrible idea but if viper goes to where they need to be should be fine
its where i stand and i do fine shrug
yeah just puts more of a risk of your clone targetting someone else but if it works it works
if that works for you i wont say to do otherwise but you're putting a lot of distance between a potential east clone and you
since it is pretty far
im literally closer to it than where the arrow says to go tho
I stand more or less where the sage stands
not really
where the sage is is unfriendly but fine, where you suggesting pct to go is really unfriendly but can still work
idk hwo it works for ranged it prob makes dodging easier or smth I imagine?
idk we've literally never had issues with this
like
the clone does not spawn on those markers
where im standing is literally closer to the east clone than what you are saying to do lol
they spawn in the center of the 4 white tiles
noit those markers
and has 0 movement ever on any cones
that's a dot refresh for me anyways
so I just wiggle
same for when the final set goes off
i love when u wiggle
i'm bouncin on it
oh yeah bap is right
people think im trash gg
you're trash and i'm raccoon
if im not rank 1 ig im just trash sajjies
but yeah i think just having picto closer to the line would have saved that
i have abandoned the upcoming japanese waifu @jolly flume
i haven't been playing wuwa lately but i thought everyone was skipping sigrika
she's so cute man
i think everyone is after they showed the new girl
but I can't justify pulling her
oic
its basically girl: vs girl: japan
oh
yeah its cooked
is she the meek and innocent type or the HARD WORKING I MUST TRAIN HARDER type
she's the I love the type of woman that can literally just kill me type
i guess she's supposed to be the alpha-like character in wuwa but she seems kind of different
but i guess we already got DMC character
we did?
oh galbrena
yeah
I AM THE STORM THAT IS APPROACHING
i guess she's like bayonetta
the lore is kinda cool too
apparently the producer was a dmc nerd and geeked out when they got the chance to make it
yeah galbrena seems more like a 1.x character
the aerial attack with the gun seems nice but i dont think you actually use it ever
plus her msq was peak "giving the newest character the spotlight because we have to sell her"
you know i built zani and phoebe and never used them
i barely play the game outside of logging on sometimes for daily
I still use them in the new boss rush endgame but they never score incredibly high compared to my top teams
idk how to play zani whenever i have her in events
lol dude I've been daily logging for 3 minutes for the last 8 months in wuwa
that's why I'm thinking of just quitting
ik she converts spectro into more damage but seems too complicated
my go to brain off characters are carlotta and phrolova
i haven't logged onto wuwa in like a month
has power creep hit wuwa yet ik gacha games r notorious for that
you build gauge by stacking frazzle and spend it with her ult slashes that's literally all it is
wuwa creep is real but not as bad as some other games
augusta too whenever i use her in events i score super low, idk how to fill both bars, i just press buttons until one shines
i got iuno but havent used her since 2.x lol
my only regret pull is camellya
i want my pulls back
augusta scene ||https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cs2FAwHP1T0||
Solid ending to a solid part of a story!
#wutheringwaves #wuwa
it's peak...
idk if I regret pulling anyone yet but
backpulling s3 jinhsi in 2.3 was probably kinda questionable lol
probably yeah lol
she's so bricked too because there's no supports she has that aren't better with something else
aemeath's storyline
zhezhi with carlotta cantarella with phro

i've been putting it off bc i don't feel like logging on
inshallah if she does not return this patch we kill solon lee
I want my daughter back 
necron hands
reminds me of something I can't put my finger on
great now im hearing that depressed nerd's voice
I'll begin by wearing you down.
kill them.
i get a chuckle out of the pause he does in meso terminal when he says "you've-- overburdened the system"
that sentence was too much of a mouthful for the VA
i barely played endfield
it's interesting if you're the kind of person who likes ARR
bc the pity system felt so unforgiving that i was like ok hold up which gacha do i want to spend my time on
lol
and it turned out maybe the answer is none of them
the game itself is pretty fun to me though
I like the combat
gacha systems definitely leave something to be desired
the combat seemed cool. kind of xenoblade-y
game is enjoyable for me for now but im still not really attached to any character
yea
well I like fangyi because she's hot but
it still feels like the story stakes are quite low
in general
i like her human form but im not sold on her transform lol
it's just whatever nefarith and ardashir are vaguely talking about how they're actually doing this for the good of the planet like some thanos type shit
but ill prob get her since i dont really like any of the other previewed characters
I want new phys units but seems unlikely for the moment
being already the most fleshed out archetype
I'd pull a new laevatain support I guess, akekuri doesn't really feel like she belongs in there
and my dumbass skipped gilberta so probably her rerun at some point too
i'm kinda deep in arknights now tbh
playing the og and watching the anime
10 pulls to clear ex4 fresh š i cannot do this fkn trail a 100 times
at least 2 damn tokens a clear woudlve been nice
99 is such an arbitrarily high number
every extreme should be 2 totem honestly
clear took about 6 mins. so like 700 mins for a 100 damn totems is stupid
I used to think every extreme should be 1 totem but yeah it's too much
or just halve all costs
I don't think most extreme quality is good enough to warrant 1 totem so 100 clears
but I think ex4 is an exception that fight was legitimately good imo
at least on content
ye this is better probably
ex4 doesnt have neuron activation, maybe only for ef2
honestly on paper it was maybe the hardest this expac
atleast from what it asked you to do mechanic wise
but ex3 and ex5 were the hardest would say
which was ex5? necron?
my dream is they yeah like halve the cost
but then they add some other rewards
like minion of the boss, adventurer plate of boss
that are less totems
ya
ex5 mechanics weren't that hard
it's just that it had maybe the worst body check of any extreme I've ever done
if people got sucked into the void solo phase before a certain mechanic
it was pretty much over
been ages since ive done ex5, i remember mfs could not live the damn circle platform for the life of em
Mass Macabre 2 I think
if ppl got sucked before that it was basically a wipe
because people weren't willing to just take the death
EX3 I think was hard because ice bridge could legitimately be a mechanic in an ultimate
atleast anything that isn't DSR / TOP
there's not really any good reason for it being 99 clears of anything
i wanna do aadvanced merchants tale but like duty doesnt pop and there are no pfs/ is this dead already or what
yeah I agree
it's just a big number to create grind
I used to think 1 totem always was best so pf would stay active
why 99? why not 200
but even then if u fall behind it's hard since extremes kinda die after first 2 weeks
@tranquil lynx hire this man immediately
atleast on savage patch
I think their ideology is they want ppl to keep farming it
so it remains active
but it doesn't really work that way
my ex3 farms was just fail ice bridge enough times to get enough echo to skip it
are we getting another ilvl bump before next expansion?
my ex3 farms were lock ppl to 750, food and pots and skip ice or die
ye
ice bridge is quite literally a mechanic you could see in an ultimate
like if that mechanic was in M12S p2 the fight would objectively be harder imo just because it's a body check
I don't think so
I think the most we are getting after this, is slight boost from Ultimate weapon and Relic weapon, but that's not item level.
I don't think we are getting extra gear like Chaotic
so we will cap at 790 i assume?
yeah until next expac
I think endwalker ended at 690 also
It's 100 IL every expac I think? Since ARR.
i see
tbf even patch extremes always get more attention due to usually being the best weapon option for wk1 savage prog
yeah
this is probably more to do with FRUās difficulty but sphene ice is harder than most mechanics in the first two phases of FRU 
Out of all the mechs in FRU I would legit place it like:
CT > UR > Diamond Dust > APOC > Ice Bridge > everything else.
bruh almost wiped to flails in normal wtf
lol
I died first, got rezzed last and still climbed back up to 3rd aggro as dnc
Untrue, final stage relics from shb were 535
660-665 for EW, 690 was job gear for dawntrail
So 100-105 ilvl from job gear to last gear
And 30 ilvl for leveling gear in the expansion
8.0 final ilvl will be 920
no... yoshi p will change the formula 
8.0 will save ff14
GIVE ME FIRE, GIVE ME LIBERTY, GIVE ME JOB REWORK IN 8.0!!
every job now have 60 sec burst ur welcome
invincible dropped š„ ty for reminder
SBR š„
wdym jojo was tonight
Steel Balls Rub
Yes
It is peak
what's an sbr...
PIZZA MOZZARELLA
jojo but honse
Gorgonzola
I honestly thought sbr was a month out so many damn things to watch starting this month
i mean its a cheap monitor
Wow someone else got a picture of Stella's monitor
Before his fist went all the way through
I had no notes
This is truly a Stahnini moment
all?
well why are you pressing buffs in downtime
I mean it could just be buffs getting cut off by the bosses jumping but
what uptime window is like 15s long
maybe end of phase in dsr p2 or top p3 or something idk
Yeah the advanced merchantās tale is fun
it counts all across the fight apparentely
iām realizing
we have not had a decent looking final patch art since 4.5
why do they keep doing this ābuncha faces in a circle around somethingā bullshit
i'm tired of seeing those faces specifically
Maybe they're convinced it'll avoid spoilers or something...? I dunno, but yeah it's not that inspiring
Especially compared to how the 7.4 art looked like a poster you'd see advertising the Arcadion match, or 7.3 having everyone posed up
i mean i guess i'm fine with underpromise, overdeliver
i don't remember the last time they overdelivered though
im gonna overpromise and underdeliver personally
you're hired
#real
when was the last time a patch-introduced character was relevant for longer than the patches of the expansion they were released in
i think it might be asahi tbh
they come up with such cool characters that don't become part of the permanent cast
it's just a personal thing but i just don't think the twins or yshtola are that cool
she's the least interesting rhul sister
big and true
maybe it's because i only have 1 brain cell but i prefer the dumb characters like estinien
I was reading qnh thinking it was elounge
i get that the scions are marketable but iām sooooo bored of them
theyāve had their character development
please introduce new characters
krile is the only one i donāt really mind because sheās been relegated to the background for so long
can we get some more world ending scenarios where I play the center of attention again?
i'm just not the target audience ig because the scions are my least favorite main cast in any FF
like some of them are good
yeah
bring back that annoying ascian with the bahamut so I can punch him in the mouth
they are kinda very lacking in individuality both design-wise and personality-wise
it's important to have like one scholar/bookworm type in the party for exposition
but we have like... alphinaud, yshtola, urianger
I'm probably going to get flamed but I don't really like erlanger much
if i had to get rid of one it would probably be yshtola
i'm votekicking alphinaud
i don't really care that much about urianger either, but his puddingway scene was good
alphinaud is kind of just there
replace yshtola with sadu
we also have like
an entire b team of scions with better personalities
that weāre just not gonna use ig
are you really telling me sphene isn't coming to 8.0 as a scion
what about the SPENE! lione lady, we moving past that?
after we got sphene with a good personality and cute outfit
is she really just staying behind

the way everyone thought zero would be a mainstay because she was in duty support and then instead they tasked her with having a slow burn enemies to lovers with that bisexual armored man
shouldāve been me smh
maybe sphene will come back when we have a need for world politics in the msq again
I liked the bird girl boss, saw how bad the world is and decided to kill it lol (endwalker)
I can relate these days
I'm still holding out hope for an eventual cross-shard alliance of people, like Ryne/Gaia, Zero/Golbez, Sphene, and whoever we meet in the other ones
big ass forehead
To give Sphene a plus one, give her her wife
Please Ryne, Gaia, Zero, Golbez, Unukalhai and Cyella fixing the 13th and 1st
I said it before, I'll say it again, throw a pop up that says "the story assumes you've done this side content, if you want context go play through it or read these Unending Codex entries we just added"
RPR main who job changed to PLD and immediately became irrelevant
she's just like me fr
ive said it too
please
Even more so cause it feel like it would fit with the direction they're going for the next big arc
I guess the question is if 8.0 and 9.0 will be more shard or star focused
So does that mean Eden raids are going to get the CT "mandatory for MSQ" treatment? 
that would be peak but I don't think so
Read the last part of this again
You know people don't want to read 
I saw 5 year old comments on Crystal Tower guides of people getting ulcers about how "raids are now being required for MSQ"
Well then it's their own damn fault for refusing to have an iota of reading comprehension
Honestly, I'm just thinking out loud here
At least 8 player raids are much quicker to queue for
FRU is now canon and required to progress in the MSQ
Shit, I'm at the current endgame and I STILL haven't finished Pandemonium
sounds like an FF11 thing to do
Wtf, you haven't faired and fouled
Fools... You would stoke the fires of conflict?
I just want to see the new Ascian (Helmet?) interact with Gaia
If Gaia can be our friend, surely another ascian can as well
I'm just tired of fighting Ascians, personally
we should fight remnant Allagan creations instead
Halibut seems like fun
That just leads back to ascians in the end
if we fight her, we would use white au'ra cite
Boooooooooooo
I think the fundamental thing is that the Ascians need to be interesting characters, and they've been consistently doing that since Shadowbringers
If we were still fighting ARR/HW era Ascians... Snore.
Yeah Lahee was a byproduct of arr/hw times
Which makes Thancred saying he'd rather deal with Lahabrea over Emet funnier - he's just jealous that Emet has an actual personality
And I don't even remember the other one
Just unfortunate they didn't have stuff planned out for them yet. Would be cool seeing Nabriales and Igeyorhm get some personality retroactively like Lahee in pandae
there a good healing for savage guide on youtube somewhere? I tend to end up doing the bulk of healing while the other healer just dpses most of the time? should I wait a few seconds after the raid takes a raid wide to see if they're going to pop something or..
Come claim if you're able a spot at this table
There isn't really a fast and simple answer for this, but one thing you can do to maximize your damage is to give regens / hots time to tick. The party more often than not does not immediately need to be healed after something like a raidwide, or if they require healing they don't necessarily need to be healed to full.
At the same time, there's a lot of value in playing safe. More information would also be helpful, e.x. are you playing shield? The shield healer has the ability to take care of a disproportionate amount of healing if they're spamming GCD shields.
I (or someone else) could give more specific advice with a log or two, but at the end of the day the reality of an unoptimized healing environment (PF) is that resources tend to get used inefficiently.
you could stand to look at a timeline of the fight to know when to use what mitigation
Glare IV
you're probably overhealing
things like hots need to be allowed to tick
getting people back to full instantly when there is no immediate danger = bad
yea 60% overheal and 73% overwritten shields
I decided to run a healer for the first time in awhile for some practice on m9s for example, parsed 97 on heals 37k hps on scholar, white mage did around 25, 3 pars eon dps (13k) and 37% over heal
yes
4 deaths and a bunch of people were blowing up lol
like
you realize that a high heal parse isnt good right
and that one person over healing can make the other heal parse look bad for no reason
yeah I don't want to heal much but uh with that group I carry them over the finish (was a clear group) or the die to damage xD
think of it like constantly having your rep overwritten
as a tank
so then your log says you repped nothing
idk im seeing like
8 gcd heals at full hp
which is normal cuz of shields
but
it says 82% of it went to waset
which to me implies you were kinda just panic healing
Could also be a gross misunderstanding of what tools each healer has and what they do
watching tomestone replay š¤
to b clear
im not doubting the 1st time clearing party didnt also suck
just saying the metric you are using is not buenoi
Esp in m9
But heal parse doesn't mean you played well
High or low
The colour isn't representative of good healer gameplay
Also part of the difficulty of healing is when things go badly
If people knew what they were doing you can just map things to the timeline and call it a day tbh
There's no random damage you always know when stuff happens
yeah, just trying to get a bead on whether my low dps parse was good/bad when the group was wiping and getting vulns
think I hate a dot during flails too which didn't help
If they're getting vulns in savage that's part of the mech
And then additional damage that kills them is a mistake
There's no regular mode vuln stacks anymore
If they're getting damage downs that also a mistake
Like I also don't disagree that those dots require extra attention
But resource allocation matters
You don't necessarily have to mash gcds to solve it
Healers generally have enough other tools to allot for those too
hm yeah seems like my dps crashed after the fight was ongoing, went from 19k -> 13k
19k isn't really great to start tbh
But your DPS is going to tank when you panic and when things go badly
on training dummy I hit 20k with 780 gear, close to my max lol
For reference my high purples last tier were 17 to 18k
wouldn't mind a dps time line, wonder if tomestone has that
starting to get into analysing parses to get better 𤣠, maybe I'll try some more runs this evening
what
Idk really what to tell you but
Healer DPS is just mashing your 1 and not dropping your dot
You make sure to get 2 instances of your dot in pot and buffs
And that's like all the opti
Keeping uptime with mechs and stuff too
glare opti
like casting glare more
especially during 2 minutes
the opti in healer is having an efficient heal plan to actually let you hit gcds
theres always the big variable of coheal but shrug
found my dps timeline, looks like 330 ish my dps crashed to nothing, same with 5, 645 -> 9 minutes
I'll record and take a look at the new few, 22k dps -> ended up at 13k, me healing all the dying people while the white mage dps-ed with their 22k dps parse
I probably over healed some but don't think I was spamming š¤ so much easier to tell on a tank/dps
at least on my tank I know Isucked
getting chadded out happens, yes
but
it's not like your coheal had a single digit heal parse
it's more likely your party just sucked and were dyign to random shit
like
look at the heal parse of our m11s reclear
neither healer was above a 26
that was a relatively smooth run
going back to what channy said, when shit is smooth heal plans can be optimized very much
mm smooth runs, I need some for a good base line
my point is
you are conflating a messy run with getting chadded
because the other person parsed higher than you
when that simply isnt the case

My sage this tier did the ex with 3 i700 pieces and a mush mash of stuff below that
And he did more than 14k
Even with just mashing heals
was looking at my ex logs, i healed a few runs one day with full crafted, safety shields and all, and almost purpled it
and im really bad with keeping track of dot
also no pot
idk how healer mains fumble it so hard
Bro my first clears of several floors in the last couple tiers were purple
I just hit button
I'd spreadlo all the time and concitations pre raid damage too
Like for sch people are just afraid to ruin 2 in prog or something
afraid of ruin 2 but also thinking using stacks for heals will condemn their parse
the classic 1 less soil for 1 more gcd heal
my buddy was in a static with a sch who unironically used less soils than wk and had the gall to blame the team for lack of mits
when the rest of the team was literally 99 parsing heals lmfao
needless to say that one blew up
the amount you heal is correlated so little with your parse it's almost laughable to blame getting chadded or having to heal more for your lack of performance
pressing like 8-10 extra succors is the difference between me parsing 99 and 95
anywhere below high blue low purple you can't even begin to say it's just because you're healing
not when I have logs across like every fight this expansion where I have blue to purple hps alongside purple to orange dps
i'm kind of tempted to grab a crafted set to see how it goes in m9
i've never healed endgame though
do it coward
what if i just
gcd shield for each raidwide and then rotate the other stuff randomly based on vibes
if you gcd shield everything it's pretty hard to die to anything short of a fixer equivalent
im trying to think of anything that hits that hard other than fixer
ig the double raid wide in m10s in crafted gear
the only thing is i'm not used to someone getting hit by avoidable damage being my responsibility
beyond like a short mit as tank
as tank i'm just like here take this, good luck
and then it's someone else's problem
I mean it's more or less the same thing besides that you have more options of what to throw at them and a priority order you use them in
nobody in pf is expecting you to be a recovery god anyway
we're bare minimum gamers here just don't let the party die to damage outright and the rest is their problem
i'm looking at your log and you're literally just spamming heals into nothing for half the fight
like the raidwide that opens up the first add phase you etac succor after it
when there's not a single instance of damage for the next full minute
like I'm not standing over your shoulder watching the pull but I think any feeling of getting chadded by your coheal is self inflicted with how it looks
you gotta slow down on that shit, it's ridiculously easy to inflate your hps on shield healer by just not allowing the other to heal anything
but that doesn't mean that you're doing all the work in a good way
also you lost like a full minute and a half of cast time to clipping weaves I'd probably fix that
š¤ hm some good feed back, going to try again this evening to chill on the heals a little bit and kinda watch how it pans out
healing is a two player job
trust the coheal until they prove they can't be trusted
to an extent, anyway
We finally finished e12s in my old content static so people decided to shuffle around roles a bit for EW
I'm still on shield heals 
We probably clear ex3 tomorrow, ex1 and 2 were almost complete jokes
healer jail cannot be escaped
So true bestie
Even if someone else offered, I'd probably still be paranoid about getting the feeling of "I could be doing your job better"
I'm enjoying ex3 a lot so far at least, it's nice when fights have more than 1 mechanic where I have to think even slightly
you heal because you like to support your team mates, i heal because i don't trust anyone else to properly heal. we are not the same
hydaelyn my beloved
thats the thing
you never trust the coheal
skip step 1 and go to step 2
99 healing parse with 60% overheal

i wonder if this person will get redditors calling them racist these are the same colors as my character
š„ŗ

the comments don't seem to be that bad there
Not using the fluorescent lipstick helps a lot for them
yeeeaaaaaa....
Hello my chungies
Hello
mb i wanted the mount
another pain legend 
Do i need to max out the hw relic stats to move on to the next step?
you need to finish the step yes
you haven't finished the step
its not maxing out the stats, its still doing the relic lol
The entirety of the EW ārelicā costs less than the Umbrite step.
EW relic is a glorified tomestone weapon
Yeah
My fav weapon when i was a sprout was sageās EW relic but i kinda grew to not like it, even tho itās the only weapon that works with the tech theme they went for
GNB works well too
final RPR stage looks nice even though the tech theme doesn't work great
I like the particle effects on the MNK one, so I did a little sneaky to get just the particles
healers presssing ZERO gcd heals might be the worst thing in this game
sorry bro I need to dish out one more glare
like watching main tank die to autos is crazy
muh parse
this isnāt about gcds but
have you seen what the white mage was doing in my 12-2 last week
š
fighting for my life in idyllic towers
mb
tanks getting blasted by autos and the healers wonder why the tank died
dies to autos which causes the mech to fuck up and they blame the tank and not the healer that let the tank die to autos
ranged baiting rep 1 wrong and not noticing bc it wasnāt them who died
white mage players 
Rep 1 really pisses me off bc people just straight up don't notice if they did the mech wrong
"I didn't die so that means I did it right"
People learn where to stand, but they don't understand why they are standing where they are
smile
and let the pf win
the opps were the PFs we made along the way
they need to nerf healer ogcd utility bring back gordias
u can just type /bgm and it'll mute it instead of setting it to 0
think someone hit the alt f4 angle mid pull 
u ever heard of someones sub running out mid pull
happened to me 
parry this you filthy casual
i didnt know that could happen if you were down a person
lmao
š
They didnāt even DC they just flat out disappeared
@craggy marsh
I'm ready to get tank bustered by m11s
just finished the 7.3 boss fight and paved in solitude always hits

Have fun it's a good flight
I love her fight and her music
Might unironically be the best song of the expansion
idk it's 50/50 with the alexandria dungeon ost
but 1:50 is definitely peak for the zone
The way the war drums fight with the sad melodies is utter peak
(I hope you don't mind me calling you that, it's meant to be a genderneutral term)
god I really hope that song shows up in a concert sometime
1:50 on bass on stage would be so fire
The lone oboe
actually the whole song on bass
:( endless sphene when she said "Lamaty'i"
Idk that line when it was voiced it was so heart wrenching
only thing I didn't like so far was that I really don't like emo antagonists lol
Calyx is such a cliche
and then when the simulant said the same shit to her face
I didn't like fandaniel but I'd rather take fandaniel
Fuck the simulant
but the whole "stone faced researcher emo boy who only knows data" is overused
I believe in fucking calyx slander
can't believe we didn't get to smash her
I WILL DEFEND SPHENE WITH MY LIFE
Something I don't think they captured on the eng translation was the simulant sohene talked like a gyaru which I guess the eng equivalent would be a valley girl
also lmao at breaking the memory bank where everyone just stared at each other for like 10 seconds and almost losing
I just finished the 7.3 fight
Okay, i wasn't expectinh
so the 7.3 trial
I got spoiled on some 7.3 sphene stuff from the comments
but I wasn't expecting us to get ||original|| sphene back
nah just some basic stuff
like "wow this song hits with 7.3 sphene"
:(
I brought it upon myself haha
I did enjoy end of DT + post-DT
but at the same time it was a little teeth-grinding how we keep falling for the same shit over and over
like I think we got betrayed by endless sphene like two or three times in dt (not post-dt)
I love it because 1) its my partner's culture. He's Hispanic and there's some food and native american traditions regarding dt 2) because of the new animations they've been trying to put in
too bad the best part of phase 2 has probably never been heard without stalling
oh yeah that one is fire
I wasn't expecting that to play out
speaking of new stuff
BUT IT WAS SO fucking fire
I am kinda liking the investigative minigame they had
for the directors room and stuff
opens locker oops, all calyx
story skippers malding
but you know what, anything other than fetch quests
NO WHEN I SAW THAT LOCKER I CRIED
CAUSE FYM THE DIRECTOR HAD A SHRINE OF THE DUDE??
I wonder if we'll go into more background on alexandria pre-storm surge... maybe not though
the first didn't get that much exposition
granted, to me it was a lot of "holy shit another emo deadpan guy I have to listen through"
have you heard about the theory that when dt was originally written, wuk lamat didnt exist and it was written as koana as the mc
you know what's funny
Static sans 1 raidboss
'MY GODS! HERE COMES THE BRUTE BOMBER WITH A STEEL CHAIR!?"
-Metem Probably
I know about the 7.4 trial out of context
congrats
and I'm like ||"how the hell does this train make it into the story???"||
Chew-Chew motherfucker
along with the announcer's voice LMAO
and 7.5 is apparently back to garlemald?
except an ACTUAL city
"Stop Fucking doing that!"
I watched my friend play the EX and I was like "god do I really wanna prog this"
He deserves the F word
wuk lamat was ok i just didnāt care to go to texas to throw poop at people
I haven't
that video was such a crock of shit
You might gotta do msq
also lmao at this youtube comment
"No planet threatening entities," they said. "Filler beach episode," they said. WoL grumbles and pulls out the orange fruit gummy again
yeah I'm working through it
wuk lamat, my wife :(
I'm on the first quest of 7.4
congratsss
you missed the entire second half of 2024
WoL at beginning of DT: "wow haha let's go to tulli and stomp on some noobs, it's just a regular competition right?"
WoL at end of DT: 
Nah fr
WoL thought they could take a vacation
wol came back with depression instead
their major point was that calyx serves as the ultimate foil if koana was actually the mc, "You wanted a society full of technology, witness it"
shrug
another point they had was the whole, "you're telling me a latina princess can't handle a spicy taco"
Koana was autistically focused on growing tech to help, without learning how his "help" would affect his people
the
ya that was the point
the fantasy Indian spice?
for someone who can't taste much?
yeha
that'll fuck up 95% of people
another youtube comment
"No more shall man have instant login to bear him to Eorzea. Henceforth, he shall queue" - Yoshi P
sunders the login servers
yea during the msq when he's like "lol who cares why the reeds are dead, just use potion???"
"the reeds are out of aether, why don't we get aether from elsew-"
ngl the biggest thing im waiting for is just seeing what convoluted way they will use to implement cross dc pf
drains an entire reflection
as usual its gonna be something nobody will expect
As long as it allows a region wide pf
I wonder if it'll just be something like priority dc transfer
ngl i just assumed when they were doing the cloud test server, it was specifically for cross dc pf because people were saying it felt like playing on 50ish ping even if they normally got more, and evened the playing field between jp/eu/na, so i 100% was under the belief they were gonna just use cloud server tech for instanced content
when the pf starts it'll just throw you over to aether or something
that would be great, like choosing the best cloud server for everyone?
at the same time it's square enix
eu even got a temp world , shadow
Less of transfer you and more of connecting you with someone from other dc
yea like it would just make a node (idk tech terms) for the specific PF to connect to
thats what i imagined at least
well someone will have to "transfer" because that's how the server architecture works right
you have to be on the same DC to do content
I'm assuming the fact that there's a queue for dc transfer means the server has to throw your character data over to another dc
it's a toaster connected to a cat's automatic feeder
this is square enix so don't expect them to do something fancy like "everyone's inventory is on a single server"
I wouldn't be surprised if it chucked your entire who knows how large character data when you moved
this is the same company which struggles to add more item slots
yeah your character data basically does a server transfer every time you dc travel
but leaving behind some stuff like retainers
and given how all the scraped data on github is in like, csv format
I wouldn't be surprised if the data storage was hideously unoptimized too
the source of most of the problems in this game is how they handle character data
its terrible
Thing is if you had to transfer and the target dc got congested
It would fuck up loading instance and you're stuck on black screen
they probably throw you to the front of the queue and then throw you back
that's the price you pay for cross-instance PF
alternatively, they make you move over the instant you join
instead of when content starts
I wouldn't be surprised if every character took the exact same amount of space on the server regardless of whether they had 1 item in their inventory or 1000
or at least with csv it'd probably be some shit like ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Glamour Prism,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
fanfest will probably talk about this
forward and back and then forward and back
if they do open up cross dc pf, i wonder how long until we get primal people being all like, "was pf always this toxic??"
assuming there were any primal raiders left on primal
@rapid whale what does this mean
god all those buttons healers have at 90 and mfs keep dying to tower soak
like any 3 or 4
i used to buddy mit squishies in glooper until one of them said the noise scared them into messing up the mechanic 
mit sheet made by parsing healers so they dont gotta gcd heal
Top may not be a fight for u if u want to not press free mit
all i got is nascent bruh
Yeah and all the mit sheet wants is for u to use it on the prange/caster in your party before one of their hits?
tank / dps should be required to mitigate alot honestly
2 healer they do like 20% dps of party it's only fair
TOP hit very hard not like joke FRU
ok

why would you not lol
a tank personal is free, there's nothing else to use it on, and you can literally solo heal someone from 0 to 30k
can the healers technically do it themselves yeah that's not an excuse to not press a literal broken button for free that can cover for peoples mistakes esp in what sounds like fresh prog
This will be me once I stop being blind
Wallahi
theres no more autos after the start stuff?
we got walled on pantokrator that was ass
#1134533110197932195 prob better for story reaction im ngl cuz this is all raid talk
honestly I didn't know that thread existed ty
i thought this was the endfield channel
random raiding question for healers, does it feel like tab doesn't work half the time? do I have to be physically staring at the boss for tab to work or something?
I press a button on my MMO mouse to target someone, heal them, and then sometimes I press tab tab tab and it doesn't target the boss again...
so the cooldowns for Spirits Within and Circle of Scorn are really forgiving, right? like, just gotta make sure they don't go too far outside the 20-second window if I'm remembering correctly
yea just press them on cooldown
for every second you drift them you increase the chance you lose a usage so no
strictly on cooldown as much as possible
but on the offchance i need to go far, the cooldown is still forgiving, right?
also yes the boss has to be in your fov to be tabbed to
which sucks but is how it is
groan
i don't know what this means
i mean, the drift isn't so bad that having to go far away won't affect how much they stay within buffs too much
time to find a plugin which magically fixes this
my dude there is a single boss pummeling the party, please let me target it
mouseover allows you to spot heal without untargeting the boss but if you don't learn to heal without it you're just gonna have to accept being crippled on patch day when plugins go down
or use vanilla mouseover which is like
okay but very not great
yeah I can live with it, honestly I already do the "target person, heal them, tab back to boss" manually
yo @jolly flume yo
the one thing mouseover is really nice for is for ground targeting
what
for pantokrator
there should like never be a 6-2 split?
that shit was weird bruh
erm no...
me realizing that my buddy mit isn't going off half the time

probably got the funny sw ne cones pattern where nobody knows what to do
dont u just rotate clockwise
yes
but if someone was on the wrong side from the start i guess its cooked
lowkey even if you start on the wrong side as long as you're not 1 or 3 you can just flex back late
i guess but fight-long drift still leads to lost uses so also not really
unfortunately there are some times where I have to move far and I can't Intervene in time š
Most strats cater to you getting the most out of uptime anyway
So idk man
Greed more
woah arched chiyo
then either shift your first cd use forward so you can hit it before you disconnect or just accept that you have to drift and stop caring because everyone else will have to as well
thats why i go to balance to look at fight-specific openers in case there's ways to better align tools
like I said originally hit it on cd as much as possible
the operative words being possible
if it's not possible what are you gonna do lol
im gonna throw a fit on the square enix official forums
raaaaahhhhh
like what fight
Ask for Endwalker hitboxes to make a return
Curious about those endwalker hitboxes
idk but I know it's happened to me a few itmes
fym idk š

@rapid whale Update dw about getting me a clear tomorrow someone kidnapped me right before I was about to go to bed
congrats
will it tank your parse if you have to drift them a few gcds no
the dot snapshots buffs on application so just try to use it within 20s buff
so drifting just potentially makes you lose a use
I was extremely nervous but i'll take a grey for my first time clear
Now I know the fight isn't as bad and can perform better next time
i think my 99 in M11 i drifted circle/exp like 4 GCDs and clipped my GCD a bunch
just crit
you should know the fundamentals and try to stick to them as much as possible but mistakes happen
Ya i'll never be a orange chad but aslong as I improve every clear then i'm happy
purple is okie for me
I would've been a green but we had someone almost wipe us during idyllic towers and needed a healer lb3
mb
o ok
gdi now i gotta get a pf reclear xdd
jk itw as pf either way
Huge congrats tho
It's just an alt idc lol
fair enuff
involve me
lets go now
Too late
iām busy rn š„
Yeah busy reclearing
nuh uh
medias res 
tomorrow maybe possibly
i still feel like i need to sim idyllic more lol
i think i'll probably just dump my books into 11 books bc i'm not starving for a weapon anymore
i prob want GNB and DRG weapon before i start turning 12 books into other books
but i'll prob be done with 11 by then anyways
I want a gnb weapon but I probably won't be able to get one unless I somehow commit myself to more pf reclears
on the bright side I guess it technically doesn't matter since I only actually want it for ulti so I can just use that weapon instead
totem or relic smile
man looks like im ending this tier with 7 out of 8 pages, gonna have to skip raid next week for RL
though cant complain, already got 3 weapons
i only want GNB weapon in case i stop being a chicken and get off PLD
for ulti
realistically i'll probably still be PLD 

pf squad when
self deprecation
Another step done - all crafters are 90, that took me almost all day yesterday 
it is always clearable
wtf happened to ur markers
clear me villy
ok sure
c4niko
he who shall not be named in there...
𤫠š§
ngl i'm surprised people are putting up listings like these
i literally just floor tanked to comprehend all the mechanics in two runs
now do it in savage
advanced != another
Another is criterion
by the way.... how much paste is the advanced version givin me
Well what was considered criterion tier in ew
soooooooo
nice one
check the consolegameswiki it should be updated with paste amounts
you can literally just queue into advanced there's no need for pf
party matching, or solo...
matching
oooh 3 peeps already
via df it'll always try to get a 4-man group
also, 17 pastes per run?????
but if you had One friend you could jump in as duo
seems like Square Enix finally found the audience for the variants: people who were too lazy to blitz through the paste grind lol
Would be stupid if it didnt gave
leveling roulette spam is probably still more efficient though
oh god
