Nier spoilers side novella

[thin fox]

😂 😂 nahh they made an area named after honey b lovely x vamp fatale t-- [USER WAS BANNED FOR THIS POST]

[loud nymph]

That's the one

[clear plume]

||Had her just refuse to follow orders saying she can’t, hit very hard compared to anything inside of the game||

[craggy marsh]

They named a zone after Dark Souls 2

[clear plume]

||Also makes the whole him going insane after watching her die once thing funnier bc like she has murdered him by her own hand 28 times||

[worn bluff]

||give us a prequel roguelike mode where you just play as 2B doing random missions with 9S and listening to him question things until you have to kill him again||

[whole estuary]

well yeah, but he got better those times

[clear plume]

I have a short video that’s outdated but highly recommended for nier automata lore to appreciate the game more by summarizing everything that came before it (but not anything after it)

[sleek moon]

id be surprised if stellar blade ever reaches the level of nier tbh and not because nier is some pinnacle of perfection, but because shift up only knows how to do misery porn with big titty girls from nikke

[whole estuary]

I thought it was the big booty girls game

[sleek moon]

it has both

[thin fox]

I mean Nier and Drakengard are also just very good, acclaimed, beloved games

[whole estuary]

[thin fox]

It can simultaneously be true that Yoko Taro is a pervert and a good writer/game designer

[wicked delta]

They admitted that SB’s story sucked

So I am willing to try out the sequel

[thin fox]

Whereas Stellar Blade is just very unremarkable. Keep in mind that, for all the talk it gets, you very rarely see people post anything from the game.

[wicked delta]

The game is fun enough

Its just

[thin fox]

its all #LARP

[wicked delta]

How do I put this

[rapid whale]

o is stellar blade and nikke the same company? that somehow makes so much sense

[sleek moon]

that to me just means they will move the misery porn writer from nikke to stellar blade

[clear plume]

It’s just mid

It’s not bad, just mid

[wicked delta]

Doesn’t give you much incentive to stray from the most OP combos

[clear plume]

Perfectly completable, nobodies favourite

[wicked delta]

So the gameplay becomes pretty whatever as a result

I did genuinely have fun with it

[loud nymph]

For all the discourse about stellar blade I have never once seen anyone talk about the gameplay, just about how big the MC's tits are

[wicked delta]

Also they need to hire some gay fashion designers bc a lot of the costumes are ugly

Thats my SB review

Fun game but unremarkable outside of the MC being hot

[whole estuary]

I've never heard that, just about how skintight or revealing the costumes are

[wicked delta]

Idc about sexy

Its just that the costumes are obviously designed to be sexy

And not in a good way

[whole estuary]

maybe they can pull the costume designer from Nikke too?

[sleek moon]

SK has a hard ban on porn so, games like this just sell more there

[wicked delta]

They did a collab with Nikke (Obama rewarding himself image)

And everyone uses the costumes from the collab

Bc the ones in the base game are shit

[clear plume]

Luckily ffxiv would never collab with another ff game

[whole estuary]

hahahaha

[clear plume]

[remote gate]

surely not hahaha

[wicked delta]

Like they’re obviously sexy but they look good

[clear plume]

Can you imagine if we got content that’s just an outfit from another ff game

[wicked delta]

My personal fav is the Dorothy costume

[remote gate]

wouldn't it be crazy if they used the plot of a ff game in ffxiv hahaha

[sleek moon]

can you imagine walking to upper la noscea and seeing iroha there

[wicked delta]

But im biased

I like cute dresses

[sleek moon]

in a fate

[clear plume]

I can’t imagine myself doing a fate in 2026 so sadly not alukah

[wicked delta]

You will do fates and you will like it

[clear plume]

I have a mf job I don’t got time for that

[sleek moon]

the expedition to the north horn calls

[remote gate]

did you complete the first step of the dt relic wonder

[whole estuary]

Book step is coming in 3 months!

[clear plume]

Ofc I’m at 3400 OC chests

[remote gate]

you deff did not enjoy fates then

[sleek moon]

but did you get the new doubled carrot achievement

[whole estuary]

noooo

[sleek moon]

only 6 billion gil

[whole estuary]

what would the title be for it

[clear plume]

No I bulk sell my carrots to people who cope hard enough to think they’re going for that

Sold 100 at once to the same person

Queen of castaways with pirate glam is the fit for double throwing axe prange job next expack

[sleek moon]

idk but this is the achievement name

[whole estuary]

they really did not put any thought into the balance on this one

[versed kayak]

they added another??

because the 1k one wasnt bad enough ig

[tough gorge]

spending 3 bil wasn't enough of a gil dump for some people

now you gotta spend 6 bil total

[versed kayak]

at least the title is fitting I guess

the submarine people can actually empty their retainers now

[pale idol]

https://tenor.com/view/horse-what-dog-what-cat-what-horse-dog-gif-12922782066956089731

My literal face seeing that amount 😭

[versed kayak]

next OC area better drop carrots like candy

I want my title ;-;

[tough gorge]

chat do they know

[zealous meteor]

does she know...

[craggy marsh]

10,000 bunny coffers

[zealous meteor]

they're removing carrots from north horn /s

[stable valley]

How do people grind for the bozja relic weapons?

No one does the heavensward fates anymore

[craggy marsh]

Honestly? BLU helps for those

[tough gorge]

ppl either farmed mobs in bsf or did hw fates with blu

that's pretty much it

[stable valley]

The mobs in before drop it so infrequently

[hearty shore]

you also probably can easily solo on any healer (SCH probably easiest) or warrior (but slow)

[stable valley]

Sage?

[tough gorge]

that's why ppl pulled every mob they could in one spot

[hearty shore]

i said SCH for a reason .... cause fairy auto heals

[tough gorge]

in bsf

[hearty shore]

so brain off

it's not about having the sustain any healer has the sustain it's about how "brain off" it is

[stable valley]

I dont have scholar so...

Sage it is

I spent like 2 hours on the front and only got 2 of them

They drop randomly from mobs

[winged spindle]

Ok, I hire
No interview needed.

[tough gorge]

again
that's why you have to pull MULTIPLE

not just one at a time

I'm talking like 10+ mobs chasing you

otherwise go do hw fates as blu

[tall field]

Ex7 hardest is ngl

finding a healer who wont move too much forcing u to dance

around

and u need to be behind ;-;

[rapid whale]

Not full bis yet

[winged spindle]

No, but he's doing good
And we won't start with DMU, so he has time to be BiS

The huge problem with recruitment, you can't know if they're toxic or not

[rapid whale]

hard to ever know without bad things happening since anyone can be nice when things are going good

[winged spindle]

Exactly 😔

[tepid briar]

split arena

split arena~

people can't do split arena~

[worn bluff]

[hardy crest]

ive had a horrible track record today in m11s and briefly wondered if this was about me XD (my fuckup point tends to be ecliptic tho i know how to do it but sometimes I just sorta freeze)

[dull drum]

im running it down in umad pf

idgaf

if i dont get to gnb i swap jobs and run it down

[thin fox]

your 6mo unpracticed mch in umad pf:

[winged spindle]

Why did I create UMAD ? 😔

[rapid whale]

better than kum

[craggy marsh]

UMAD bro? Make sure you read the KUM sheet

[queen raft]

Yesterday's raid

We wiped during this too

Before the screenshot

I glanced at the NN chat for one second and everyone but me and one of thr tanks was dead

[trim frost]

holy ui scaling

[queen raft]

I play on a large tv

[wicked delta]

Mobile game UI

[queen raft]

I'll scale it down than

[rapid whale]

I'm NGL I feel like I'd have a hard time seeing mechanics with the UI that big lol

[queen raft]

I don't have that much of an issue with it

[worn bluff]

why is your party list so close to center as a DPS though

[hearty shore]

maybe they also heal and don't want to move it each time 😄

[fierce matrix]

Yeah thats kinda rough to play with that

[sleek moon]

how far from your tv do you usually play

[fierce matrix]

I feel you may not think you have a problem but cleaning up your ui and moving stuff around or disabling them might help you see/read stuff better

Also different UIs for healing can help

You have more space on the upper left corner than the middle of your screen lol

[sleek moon]

if the tv is too big and they sit too close it might be hard to put anything on the edge of the screen

without getting neck pain

[queen raft]

Idk

[queen raft]

Opposite end of the room

[queen raft]

It's a 42 inch tv

[tepid briar]

shots 1-5

[tepid briar]

how do you see anything

[oblique nova]

can someone explain the occult like im 5, i feel like theres so much shit i need to know or do and its rocket science

i just want relic weapons man

also why are all the fights harder than savage content i dont get it

[zealous meteor]

they're not harder than savage

they're about on par with normal raids imo

anyway, what step of the relic are you on?

demiatma, aetherwells (the four orbs you need to fill), or crystal paste?

[oblique nova]

demiatma

i feel like this shit has its own meta

a unique zone idea is fun but this feels like terrible implementation

[whole estuary]

there is no such thing as a good way to implement field ops in that sense

since all of them require reading a few pages of tutorials that people would be lost without

Each page is just a sentence or two but people would rather jump in immediately

[oblique nova]

does it actually take 2 weeks of playing every day to collect 18 demiatma's

cuz thats insane

[rapid whale]

https://klipy.com/gifs/dont-smile-dont-laugh--k01KRCN2PTJNSC3449MWYTTGB3F

[sleek moon]

Relic weapons are trading a lot of time for a weapon

Also the fights are all baby mode

[whole estuary]

I got it done in a weekend

[sleek moon]

Every CE has like 2 mechanics

[oblique nova]

do i need to actually learn the phantom roles or can i just ignore

im not interested in playing other jobs than what i already have

[sleek moon]

They are additional actions on top of your current job

It's fun stuff, give it a try

You can be tanky or shit out free raises

Or buff people

[rapid whale]

getting a phantom job to max level provides a buff for each job maxed, iirc

[jolly flume]

🫃

[whole estuary]

it's a lot less punishing than if you refused to engage with Lost Actions or Logos Actions from Bozja/Eureka

but it's also massively simplified compared to either, so that it's just 3 or 4 role actions you can cycle between for free

[visual geyser]

Shoutouts to soken for referencing the foo fighter song the pretender so heavily for the evercold song

[oblique nova]

idk im learning monk but theyre all useless sooo

[visual geyser]

I can listen to that while Wait for the full song

Phantom monk?

[oblique nova]

yeah

only one i was slightly interested in

[visual geyser]

Phantom monk fucking sucks but there’s a lot of people that use it I forked just to have fun

[sleek moon]

Buy cannoneer whenever you get enough coins, it's fun af

And hope you get phantom oracle

Oh and chemist

[whole estuary]

the dash attack is hilarious and the stacks do add up

[visual geyser]

Problem with phantom jobs is that samurai presses 1 stupid button and out dps’s all of them lol

[oblique nova]

me when i just want weapons and i need to level up 10 jobs 😭

[queen raft]

Glasses

[whole estuary]

leveling it gives a permanent damage buff in OC anyways

[queen raft]

Wait read that wrong

[tepid briar]

I mean with the fatass party list

[sleek moon]

The grind is gonna be dull, at least try to have fun checking the unique phantom actions lol

[visual geyser]

Are you using the jobs for forked?

If you aren’t than level whatever lol

[sleek moon]

While you're there

[queen raft]

I make do

[oblique nova]

whats forked

[visual geyser]

Didn’t they make leveling faster this patch too?

[whole estuary]

Forked is the challenge raid

[sleek moon]

Forked tower blood is a raid inside south horn

Tuned for 24-48 people

It's not required for relic progression

[whole estuary]

its design makes it seem like it was intended to be cleared with randos, but functionally this is impossible

[visual geyser]

Very very fun raid

Shitty to learn tho kinda

[oblique nova]

does knowledge shit matter

[tulip wraith]

like, knowledge level?

yeah you have to be 20/max to enter

[oblique nova]

enter what

[whole estuary]

I think they're talking about in general, rather than for Forked specifically

[tulip wraith]

o

[whole estuary]

Knowledge level affects your strength relative to the overworld mobs

it's also how you progress through the story

[tulip wraith]

everyone gets like relatively synced for CEs and fates so it won't giga help you burst stuff down

but it'll stop 99% of the mobs in the instance to just ignore you

so you can make it to CEs and fates easier

[queen raft]

The Eden raids are Shadowbringers right?

[tulip wraith]

yeah

i just want the TT card surely people will take the mount bait

[oblique nova]

i saw people talk about mount speed thing you can purchase

i dont see that in any npc's shops

[boreal pumice]

just fly

[tulip wraith]

its the silver/gold merchant right next to the aetheryte

[whole estuary]

they mean for OC

[boreal pumice]

then what the fluffy one said

[tulip wraith]

its... 3K silver?

[boreal pumice]

think its 3k

[tulip wraith]

mount is 5K iirc, i keep mixing those 2 up

[oblique nova]

whats the drop rate anyway for the demiatma

i have 3 after a couple hours

seems like terribly low drop rate

[tulip wraith]

20% from CEs, 5% from fates

[oblique nova]

whats the max level for knowledge & phantom

[tulip wraith]

20 KL

all jobs have their own max

[boreal pumice]

20 knowledge , phantom is variable

[tulip wraith]

ranges from 3-6

its all roughly the same xp for all jobs though

give or take a bit

[boreal pumice]

i do remeber there was a chart for total exps b4 the new jobs got added

[oblique nova]

so its not too long

but u can buy a bunch of jobs no

and u can use the silver/gold on other stuff

[boreal pumice]

yeah just to the vendor an have a look

[oblique nova]

is there a point with farming for the armor u can buy on the OC if my gear is already better

[boreal pumice]

your gear isnt "better" you are ilvl synched so that doesnt mean anything

[sleek moon]

the set effect affects phantom actions

[boreal pumice]

the oc gear is passive power so its stronger there

[whole estuary]

unfortunately it's ilvl 690 - 700

[oblique nova]

so much stuff to keep track of lol

[whole estuary]

we missed out on wand/shield peak

[boreal pumice]

bozja did that for giggles

[whole estuary]

I do love giggles

[dull drum]

anyone got a banana codex strategy board code

i might have to sub into this PF because this GNB is a certified terrorist

lmao

[boreal pumice]

its not to much to track oc gear will be better but spend your silver first on mount speed , level up your phatom jobs turn brain off

[boreal pumice]

go on

[whole estuary]

the Banana Codex

[dull drum]

nah he just jumped off in m11s whenever he got bad crits or died

aka parse monkey

[boreal pumice]

you sure find alot of parse monkeys

[dull drum]

i mean this time its not even me im just watching a friend PF while writing my 5 page essay

they recognize them too

[untold oyster]

did i win

[boreal pumice]

you used clemency

[untold oyster]

it was prepull

[oblique nova]

is it just faster and less of a pain to go do fates in normal map

or crescent

[sleek moon]

uh

depends really, normal map you can work on getting exp for regular jobs + bicolor gemstones to sell

but the drop rate is 5%

[boreal pumice]

id say stick to oc for awhile so you can double dip on things like getting your knowledge lvls , your ph job lvls , your have other ppl doing the fates /ce but when your on like the last few atma normal world so you can target the correct colours easier

[pallid kindle]

if ur not level 20 you should be in OC

[sleek moon]

I stayed in OC until i only needed like 2 of them

and got the last 2 in a regular map

[oblique nova]

do i need OC for the other relic quests

or just first stage

[boreal pumice]

i grinded the shit out of oc day 1 so i had had em all

[sleek moon]

just that stage

(for now)

[oblique nova]

oh thankgod

wdym for now

[pallid kindle]

2nd step is pure roulettes

[oblique nova]

is there more relic updates coming

[pallid kindle]

3rd step CAN be done in OC, but you shouldnt even bother

[boreal pumice]

we dont know the next step

[sleek moon]

next step will likely involve north horn, so you want to be knowledge level 15-20 lol

[pallid kindle]

4th step is likely going to involve OC more than the previous 2

[oblique nova]

roulette i dont even mind that much

[pallid kindle]

rouletteslop 🤤

[oblique nova]

also i have 3 classes maxed out, how does it work for getting relics for all 3

[pallid kindle]

you need 1500 tomes per class

all steps are one time

[oblique nova]

i dont need to think its simple thank you

[oblique nova]

ok so same as before

[pallid kindle]

yes

[boreal pumice]

rare times you hope for nier

[whole estuary]

the free trialers should increase the amount of nier

Today was my last day of uni

Time to be a productive member of society and play ff14

[jolly flume]

I also graduated a few days ago

[oblique nova]

is crescent ever empty.........

[jolly flume]

ceremony's tomorrow but it's technically already over

[oblique nova]

its been full all day and now i cant find anyone LOL

whats more important, riding map or crescent map

[visual geyser]

congratulations!

ceremony is next week so im thins weird period of being done but technically not yet lol

[jolly flume]

you too

we have been unleashed into the workforce

never to find a job

[visual geyser]

\

[oblique nova]

did u not secure employment before graduating

[visual geyser]

replace math with art and thats me

[sleek moon]

crescent map is just a furnishing, riding map is mount speed

[oblique nova]

isnt art automatic unemployment

[visual geyser]

well yes

which is why i went for a tech degree

[oblique nova]

smart

[visual geyser]

but that is also unemployment

so

[sleek moon]

also instances will "die" after they have been open for too long, if you re-enter you can get into a newer instance

[visual geyser]

😀

[oblique nova]

yeah figured as much

[sleek moon]

whenever you see nobody joining for 30+ mins in the player list, good idea to move

[oblique nova]

honestly most of us back when i was in uni did internships and secured employment before we were out of school

[dull drum]

might as well say you have a bomb strapped to your chest on your adventurer plate

lmao

[jolly flume]

I've had 2 internships

[oblique nova]

usually in the beginning of last year

[jolly flume]

market ain't that free anymore

[visual geyser]

yep same

[jolly flume]

most of my friends have also done two

took a few months out of school to land a position

[zealous meteor]

[visual geyser]

i had 2 internships 2 but the market is saturated and no one has a shit

but in the meantime i think im gonna learn an instrument to keep myself sane

[jolly flume]

my daily schedule

go for a run
sit down and grind lc+applications
play minecraft

[oblique nova]

tbh we were told to find employment its about who u know and nepotism

[jolly flume]

[trim frost]

wheres the leetcode discord game

[jolly flume]

linkedin is just

[oblique nova]

which is why we attended a million business events while still in school and internships

anything to get ur foot in the door

[worn bluff]

if i knew someone was posting daily on linkedin (voluntarily) i would immediately not want to be their friend

[trim frost]

anyone who spends more than five minutes a week on linkedin needs to undergo a brain scan

[visual geyser]

my schedule is

go to gym
draw something
watch a movie
struggle to sleep

gotta brush up my network and security skills im rusty now

[worn bluff]

i used to know a bunch of people fresh out of college whose linkedin title was Visionary Entrepreneur except they were just looking for internships

[worn bluff]

i haven't opened linkedin in like 3 years

[pale idol]

But like as a social media account.. weird

[visual geyser]

could use handshake where they advertise onsite jobs that are in completely different states

[craggy marsh]

[pale idol]

“Your compensation is the opportunity to execute.”

He nodded silently and went back to work.

no i'm talking about the kagi translate thing

You summoned codingway sam xD dont be mean to kupo

but also if kupo wants to transition then let them

[steel cloak]

It’s more fun to randomly drop in

[pale idol]

Is there a deep research into moogles?

That is true

The limits are per bot per channel, so as long as they’re not super active in a single channel it’s easy, kupo is using a webhook for it, so it’s kinda messy

[vast jacinth]

Cant be messier then ff14 code surely

[steel cloak]

.>. You should see some of the cleanups I did when I first got comfy with our moogly friend

[craggy marsh]

Man XIV won't even let you eat or drink while sitting on a chair

[steel cloak]

Kupo has definitely found themselves on the sharp end of my coding stick xD

[pale idol]

Keeps ya sharp

[vast jacinth]

Understandable with how many people use it , especially if it was messyy

[zealous meteor]

anecdotally you can definitely send like 30 messages to a webhook in a minute but idk how long you can sustain that kinda rate

[steel cloak]

Kupos pretty stable these days, there’s some nice to haves I’ll probably tackle at some point

[zealous meteor]

you probably can't proxy everything in #general-discussion but definitely a lot of it

[steel cloak]

The issue is when I kick it to 100%, everyone piles on, it’s a party for the last 10-15 minutes usually on apr 1

[zealous meteor]

yeahh

[steel cloak]

Normal flows, yeah, it’d be fine, but it’s the most fun at 100%

[vast jacinth]

I wish i got uwufied but i think mods are immune or smth xD but every april 1st its hilarious

[steel cloak]

You are, but it’s on my todo list to work on some

[craggy marsh]

I've only be uwufied once

Kupo hates me

[steel cloak]

I need to see about other good uwu type libraries

[zealous meteor]

....excuse me HOW LONG has one of my bots been up

[steel cloak]

Let kupo randomly choose is you go leet, uwu, OwO

[zealous meteor]

[craggy marsh]

"Please...let me rest"

[versed kayak]

server running a kernel from primordial times with that uptime

[steel cloak]

1 year isn’t too bad

[vast jacinth]

I only hate when discord breaks xD sometimes its funny when kupo needs a wakeup call

[zealous meteor]

my other bot is more reasonable

[jolly flume]

ive had a personal discord bot that I haven't used in like 3 years sitting on an ec2 instance

[vast jacinth]

What have u been doing damn

[jolly flume]

I wonder if it's still there

[zealous meteor]

not touching that bot

i've been meaning to shut it down but i don't want to admit to myself that the project failed

so it's still up

[jolly flume]

put it down

[pale idol]

Let it rest

[zealous meteor]

[pale idol]

[versed kayak]

maybe I should reboot it

[steel cloak]

01:22:18 up 1215 days, 5:09, 2 users, load average: 10.42, 8.84, 8.35

Gotta get some real uptime on your boxes.

[vast jacinth]

You learn and you move on! Let it rest and then do am awesome new one

I cant code to save my life

[versed kayak]

my old server used be up for ages

didnt really have updates either since it was debian and I couldnt be arsed to do the whole major release thing every time

somehow noone ever abused it

[steel cloak]

Mine usually are, Nytro (Where kupo core lives) only has around a year or so because it needed a reboot during a DB upgrade, highly annoying.

[zealous meteor]

03:25:12 up 433 days, 8:23, 2 users, load average: 3.47, 2.97, 3.38

[solar apex]

I'm sorry but now I just read everything you write in a Loporrit's voice

[zealous meteor]

debian of course

[pale idol]

I'm guessing you guys chose debian because... stability?

[steel cloak]

I didn't even give myself this name. xD

Eanae gave it to me, and it took me like 6 months to notice.

[solar apex]

Well you should've xD

[vast jacinth]

Ngl i know they never will release loporits as playable race

But i would 100% make an alt

[versed kayak]

its usually the pick for servers but eh

I just went with arch now

its nice not having packages from back when my grandma was born

[steel cloak]

Mine are a mix of debian/ubuntu, almost all debian these days, and certianly for anything new.

[pale idol]

I was gonna say, idk I find myself in knit with Manjaro, just because it breaks and I like shit that breaks.

But it also works pretty well when it does

[versed kayak]

dont use manjaro

[solar apex]

That's also kinda fitting

[steel cloak]

Just go into arch, and enable AUR.

[versed kayak]

just go with arch

manjaro is fucking garbage

[pale idol]

just plain bagel arch

[zealous meteor]

my servers are all debian except for one. that one's fedora because one of the apps i run on it requires a very recent version of elixir

[pale idol]

😭 man..

[steel cloak]

You'll have everything broken in 15 minutes flat.

[versed kayak]

Do not trust people that let their TLS certs lapse like...five times

[pale idol]

Oh fuck that

[steel cloak]

I miss 5 year SSL certs. 🙁

[pale idol]

Did they.. take it away??

[versed kayak]

you can do that with every distro if you dont know what you're doing

[steel cloak]

Yeah, but arch + AUR is unusually dangerous.

[zealous meteor]

let's encrypt only offers 90 day certs and that's what basically everyone uses now

because it's free

and good

[visual geyser]

got no certs at all

[zealous meteor]

well. 90 days or less

[steel cloak]

Almost everyone's moved to 90 day max issues anyway.

[versed kayak]

not that different to PPAs

[steel cloak]

You can get 1 year for EV certs.

[visual geyser]

im probably gonna have to stick my head in a book as soon as i grad L:

sick of learning

[pale idol]

AUR = because users can upload package scripts

?

[visual geyser]

why i cant i be this stupid foro the rest of life

[versed kayak]

short expiry is nice because it forces people to automate it
it's also bad because it can be used for control, double edged sword

[steel cloak]

Eeeeeh, AUR likes to compile things a bit too much and breaks so many things when it does something weird.

Tbh, short expiry is good, forced key rotations are smart, it's just annoying when you want to do weird TLS things.

(It's me, I do weird things with TLS)

[pale idol]

(don't mind me i enjoy the talk I'm just catching up)

[vast jacinth]

Goodnight now. I yapped too long. Pat your pets !

[versed kayak]

oh I forgot to show cherry a cat pic

welp, next time

[visual geyser]

everyone in here is so smart

[clear plume]

mods are asleep, start up wuk lamat discourse

[quick verge]

this is a wow discord

[rapid whale]

how many wuk lamats would it take to slay sylvanas

[solar apex]

Not everyone. I can be but often I'm just along for the ride

[clear plume]

biscuit when r we gonna game on wow then

[sleek moon]

wuk lamat has talk no jutsu

there's no slaying

[versed kayak]

surely this wont break anything

[pale idol]

Wuk Mommy

😭

[pale idol]

I would say 1 Wuk

[rapid whale]

dam

[tulip wraith]

heres hoping people join

[visual geyser]

bro what even is that

ai generated ahh fight

[pallid kindle]

ew manderville

[random needle]

I'm undecided on if I dislike Gilded Araya or Dragon's Neck worse as Hildi trials

Because yeah, Neck has some of the worst of ambiguous ARR mechanics and chicanery, but it's also like... There's actual attempts at comedy? Which I'd expect from a Hildibrand trial? Araya doesn't have a lick of comedy and has the most boilerplate mechanics imaginable

[wicked delta]

Dragon’s neck is significantly worse

[tulip wraith]

i'd rather have a readable fight then a comedic one

[zealous meteor]

gilded araya is the better fight, dragon's neck is the better hildy

[wicked delta]

Sucks as a regular trial and sucks even worse as a Hildi trial cus that shit aint even funny

Araya isn’t a good Hildi fight but at least its bearable to go through

[pale idol]

Levi?

[tulip wraith]

wha

ackerman?

[random needle]

As a complete package, Kugane Ohashi is definitely the best Hildi trial right

[wicked delta]

Yeah

[pale idol]

Leviathan

[wicked delta]

I think all ARR Hildi trials fucking suck shit

[pale idol]

Lol it looked like you posted a party finder

[wicked delta]

Well yeah but its not for Leviathan

[pale idol]

[wicked delta]

The name is right there

[pale idol]

[zealous meteor]

i think they mean leviathan as in the world

but no aerid is on crystal

[tulip wraith]

o

3 more EW and i'm free

then ill get the DT with wing farm

im surprised i only have 2 normal raids left

dungeons might actually make me go insane though

i think EO and PT are gonna be the worst 2

[sleek moon]

and they even had to nerf it

because nobody in df knew how to do it

and itd lead to nonstop wipes

[random needle]

I still don't even really understand what to do, aside from "don't get knocked off"

[wicked delta]

Lol it got nerfed?

[random needle]

If I get kappa'd, I run around and cry

[sleek moon]

it was a 100% wipe if you didnt interrupt typhon

[sleek moon]

its a very unintuitive fight, the 4 dps get kappa'd and they have to stand in front of ultros to get hit by his cleave

need to get hit at least twice

[wicked delta]

Whenever I get it in roulettes the leave button looks real sexy

I hate it that much

[sleek moon]

so 4 dps each with 2 stacks, need to deplete 8 stacks from typhon before his fungah goes off

[wicked delta]

Might be my least favorite trial in the whole game

[sleek moon]

standing in front of a boss to get hit is not intuitive for anyone so

back then you could prevent a wipe as a healer by pre-emptively leaving the arena, and then jumping back in between the knockback registering and the fight resetting

abusing the shitty netcode

[pale idol]

Sounds like shit I did with Destiny 2

[tepid briar]

people when the pf says "outer":

[rapid whale]

thats outer no

just wrong half of arena

[tepid briar]

look at mch and pld

warrior got clipped and died

pld got tank privilege and lived

this pld stood in the wrong place like 3 times lol

[sleek moon]

idk why but people struggle remembering that half of the arena is getting cleaved

[tepid briar]

arena split isn't rocket science

[oblique nova]

how the fuck do u reach that section

ive tried every single way i could think of

[sleek moon]

you prob missed the cave entrance by that tp

[versed kayak]

I've run past it multiple times before while going to that fate...and I know it's there

[tulip wraith]

same...

and then ill double back and overshoot it again

[oblique nova]

jesus thats way too hidden lol

[tulip wraith]

another card down

do i want to try and get rubicante and zeromus tonight

[oblique nova]

after 1 day thats all i could gather lol

depressing

[tulip wraith]

ill try for rubicante in aether

[oblique nova]

おはよう

[trim frost]

ah gomen oomf chan

[oblique nova]

does dying affect the odds of getting the stones

[rancid delta]

Once hitting 100, whats the best way to gear up for high end raiding?

[true beacon]

its really not

[dapper zealot]

Fastest way is to buy courtly lover set and augment that, or get bygone brass more slowly

[true beacon]

when does Zelenia die now?

[amber fable]

If people aren't sleeping then you can skip bloom 4

Probably

Or around that time I reckon

[oblique nova]

the stats of the courtly lover are way lower than heavyweight

at least from what ive seen

[worn bluff]

i wouldn't say WAY lower. 780 is perfectly fine to do any of the floors

[oblique nova]

its 770

at least what im looking at right now is

[true beacon]

heavyweight normal is also 770

[worn bluff]

you can use tome materials to augment to 780 now

[dapper zealot]

Augment it for 780

[amber fable]

Stat is same across ilvl brakcet btw

780 ilvl augmented courtly is same as base 780 tome gear

Stat wise

[trim frost]

chat

[tulip wraith]

chatter

[trim frost]

u know how the As in the dawntrail logo are angled stylistically

the letters between them

wntr

[dapper zealot]

Wtf

[worn bluff]

you weren't supposed to find this out

we have to take you away now

[tulip wraith]

[worn bluff]

that's actually really cool if intentional

[trim frost]

it’s so peak…

[worn bluff]

are you the first to find this out

[tulip wraith]

wait im so close

[trim frost]

no

i saw it in a tweet

[tulip wraith]

same

eh actually im done card farming tonight

i got 2

that was good progress

[rapid whale]

[tulip wraith]

its getting late and my luck is ass

[rapid whale]

card farming is next level

[tulip wraith]

im so close.....

the only hard ones i have left are EO, PT, and forked tower

the rest is duty spam

[trim frost]

elvaan red mage will be a stain on the earth

[tulip wraith]

true

[trim frost]

i need the ones from this patch dungeon/trial/araid

and magitaur 😐

[rapid whale]

even in the virtual space card collectors scare me

[tall field]

Is it me or ex7 is hard due to healers

Since they wont fix themselves sometimes

Forcing me to also play catch catch

Airy emptiness

This one mech has ruined my runs

[tulip wraith]

the pairs? lol

[craggy marsh]

people not pairing up?

[tall field]

People forgetting that they have to go to color spots

Clipping others

And well

[dull drum]

ngl BC progged a couple times today and i still dont see the giga appeal

like how the fuck am i explaining the strat to 7 other people when i just looked at wtfdig for 5 minutes and never cleared on it and just DN instead

like i guess its basically braindead netherwrath if you're blind like helen keller

[pale idol]

https://tenor.com/view/smg4-mario-calculating-thinking-think-gif-22267652

[tulip wraith]

my collection grows

EW extremes are actually kinda fun to farm unsynced

they don't die fast enough you actually have to do some mechanics

its like a big striking dummy with a little bit of danger

maybe the new midcore difficulty will just be harder mechanics but not instant death

[tall field]

I yesterday had a 13% HP left enrage in ex7

Hopefully today i can get past that

I just want my mentor roulette to be with me in 8.0

[dull drum]

fucking dumbass picto trying to blame me for the mistake

i cleared + i have medal + a screenshot and sent it in pt chat

[dapper zealot]

imagine being this fucking pathetic

[tall field]

Also regarding naught hunts

The horror isnt the chasing

The horror is not realizing a cross aoe happens

And u die cos u stood at the intersection (aka mid)

[raven prawn]

"blurs out the name, shows the name in blacklisted so we all know who sent the messages" lol

[dapper zealot]

oh I didn't see that, I manually blurred it out cause it wasn't in the og

just pretend you didn't see it

[raven prawn]

https://giphy.com/gifs/jumanji-5sH12IxFNMmJi

[clear plume]

its a level 1 char anyways

bro wasnt brave enough to do it on a non fresh char

[queen raft]

I'd immediately fucking report them

[dapper zealot]

I think its the same guy

[tepid briar]

bros getting his entire service account banned

[queen raft]

Oh I hope they do. Imagine someone being so fucking petty to spoil shit just because you don't like a character

[raw sand]

the legos?

[tepid briar]

I think it was half Wuk but also half wanting to ruin a new players experience

funny thing is

by the time they get that far they would've forgotten everything

[queen raft]

That's even more petty

[tepid briar]

I hope gm slams the hammer

they usually don't fuck around with maliciousness

idk what other punishments they can give

[dapper zealot]

op reported them

[tepid briar]

yeah

[raven prawn]

can confirm as a new player myself in endwalker. Literally forgot most of what happens in heavensward and arr besides a few characters

literally have to watch youtube vids going over the plot to remind myself

[tepid briar]

they gonna be like "I kinda recognize that name idk why"

and that's gonna be the end of it

[tulip wraith]

i mean you skip any non voiced cutscenes so i dont think youre a good basis to go off lol

[queen raft]

Unfortunately it wouldn't surprise me if they end up creating another account

[tepid briar]

they did /tell so it's on a paid account

[queen raft]

True

[raven prawn]

true, i still have a good idea of whats going on though and can piece things together, plus endwalker and shadowbringers didnt have many non voiced cutscenes

[true beacon]

A strike affects the whole account

[raven prawn]

what does a strike do if you get one?

[true beacon]

Not sure

[tepid briar]

mute at the very least

for something like this

[true beacon]

But GM’s can be ruthless

[tepid briar]

yeah one thing I appreciate about xiv

if it happened ingame they do NOT fuck around

[uncut pebble]

"who is emet selch"

[true beacon]

Far as I know that person is enjoying the game

[tepid briar]

"he's the villain ofc he dies???"

[true beacon]

Whenever they pop up in my feed

[cerulean crown]

a strike against the account is basically a counter, get enough and the whole account gets penalties. temporary suspensions, permanent suspensions, things along those lines

[tepid briar]

when are we getting xiv lyte smites

[uncut pebble]

https://cdn.7tv.app/emote/01KNWF1TQS3A21RH6D2E0F2KFG/4x.avif

[tepid briar]

"I got banned for doing nothing wrong???"

[raven prawn]

so like in throne and liberty, if your stupid levels of toxic, you get a chat ban, things like that

[tepid briar]

yeah but xiv dishes out punishments if you're even a little toxic

if you get reported

[queen raft]

Same applies if you troll during raids and trials

[tepid briar]

so this has to be way over the line especially

if the report mentions that Lego is a slur

[queen raft]

The name alone is reportable

[tepid briar]

I saw someone on twitter get pulled into gm jail for saying some meme word that's not even close to a slur

[raven prawn]

interesting, im now very curious what the pvp community is like cause im used to them in other mmos with pvp (swtor, tnl, wow) being a good bit toxic lol but still having fun and being kinda friendly

[tepid briar]

so this is def way over

[dapper zealot]

wtf is lego?

[tepid briar]

people keep the pvp slander off game

[tepid briar]

slur for lgbt

iirc

at least that's what I gleaned from the replies

[queen raft]

The only talking I've seen in pvp in the game were people guiding where the alliance goes

[raven prawn]

i live in an lgbt capital, first time ive ever seen the term lego being used as a slur for it lol

[dapper zealot]

that's such a weak one

[tepid briar]

me too lmfao

[dapper zealot]

LGTV is much better

[tepid briar]

okay that actually sounds kinda cool out of context tho...

[cerulean crown]

a) people usually keep slander and trash talking off-game
b) the pvp chat in crystal conflict is specifically limited to just. a set list of phrases where the most petty you can get about it is spamming

[craggy marsh]

if ur gonna use building blocks as a slur atleast call me a megabloks man

[tepid briar]

crystalline more has an issue with hacking and match fixing

[cerulean crown]

which, they did react to! people were spamming the Good game! early on in cc's life so they made it so you can only use GG when the match is over

[raven prawn]

many ff14 pvp players would not survive tnl, throne is next levels of toxic when it comes to pvp lol

[tepid briar]

shit Lego goes for thousands of bucks on eBay

[queen raft]

Yeah but in Frontline and Rival Wings you can send messages in chat

[craggy marsh]

[raw sand]

if ur gonna slur just go all the way and impress the gm about to ban/ mute u

[tepid briar]

TRUEEE

[raw sand]

cause ur getting banned anyway

[raven prawn]

or just drop the good old fashioned F bomb

[jolly flume]

jp onry?

[craggy marsh]

true

[cerulean crown]

yeah. but they don't care about fl/rw like they do the cc

[jolly flume]

jp onry!!!

[craggy marsh]

make the GM's day tbh

[raw sand]

u should see the stuff they say in pvp mmos lol

there is no filter

[raven prawn]

bro throne and liberty would eat many alive here

[tepid briar]

🪝

[true beacon]

Checked the replies and everyone is saying nothing of substance is said whatsoever

[tepid briar]

they never seen the slurs in Asian region mmos

[raw sand]

Throne and liberty, BDO, Lost Ark

all brutal

archeage

[tepid briar]

you thought EN was bad

wait till you see CN or KR

[raw sand]

yeh

[tepid briar]

shit slinging is an art form

[raw sand]

competitive online bullying literlaly

[jolly flume]

chinese ppl perfected racism

[mortal flower]

TRUE

[raven prawn]

i could post some examples i have from the tnl community but i would for sure get banned here for it

[tepid briar]

ngl you gotta respect Chinese mmos

cause it's the wild west out there

rmt allowed

[raw sand]

you absolutely would xd

nah dont

its a sanctuary in ff

mostly

[tepid briar]

don't pollute us

[raven prawn]

ngl many in pvp mmos like bdo and tnl dont even know ff14 has pvp. they view it as THE PVE GAME

[tepid briar]

our pvp is basically nonexistent

how much was the crystalline tournament prize?

and then it got exposed that like half the people on stage were shitheads with match fixing allegations

[raw sand]

ouch, was it really that bad

[raven prawn]

18 grand

[tepid briar]

I think but I didn't follow it too much

[raven prawn]

thats 18 thousand british pound sterling

also many who got through but eliminated got free invitations to fan fest

https://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/crystallineconflict_region_championship_2026/#overview

the prizes are actually decent

[tepid briar]

wtf are those prizes lmfao

[raven prawn]

and considering many MMOs struggle with things like this for an esport, its actually better than most

[tepid briar]

first prize COLD HARD CASH

second prize, ass

[mortal flower]

Welcome to most tourneys

[craggy marsh]

Ye

[raven prawn]

you either wanna be number 1 or top 4. purely for the free passes to fan fest

number 1 for the cash

[craggy marsh]

if everyone got money then number 1 wouldn't be special

[raven prawn]

being outside of that yeah its ass

[tepid briar]

they had another tournament at fanfest right?

oh was that the finals

[craggy marsh]

idk how the pvp tourney at fanfest went as me and my husband skipped it

don't give a fuck about pvp

[raven prawn]

this one i linked was the finals

[craggy marsh]

we went to get fried chicken

[raven prawn]

it wasnt at fan fest from what i can see

[tepid briar]

same

[mortal flower]

SF prize split was notoriously bad

Like capcom cup 12:

Below 17th was like 2k.

Which at that point. Why did you show up

It cost more in hotel and plane fees

[craggy marsh]

okay the first 4 aren't bad

[raven prawn]

yeah but street fighter is built as an esport for a fighter game

[mortal flower]

I can show you a worse one

[true beacon]

Speaking of SF

[raven prawn]

you cant compare other esports to ff14 cause ff14 is an mmo and mmos NOTORIOUSLY are bad at running an esport/competitive pvp scene

[craggy marsh]

is it league

[true beacon]

Have you seen the absolute social beatdown Justin has gotten lately?

[raw sand]

literally a pat on the head for second prize lmao

[true beacon]

Over the Evo moment

[craggy marsh]

is it about him wanting "beef"

in the fighting scene again

[mortal flower]

[tall field]

Whats the damage down?

On missing tower

In ex7 adds

[mortal flower]

Thanks for coming loser, throws you 500 usd

[tall field]

Since i end up barely dealing much dps then

[craggy marsh]

bro what is that pitiful amount

[true beacon]

Idk but every time he’s on my timeline he’s quote tweeting someone absolute smoking him as a joke

[craggy marsh]

that's not even enough for rent

[mortal flower]

BUT IT'S IN LAS VEGAS

[tepid briar]

is the joke for smash or fighting games in general

[mortal flower]

EVERYONE LIKES THAT RIGHT?!?!?

[tepid briar]

that people will compete over like $5

[mortal flower]

[tepid briar]

EndingWalker

[craggy marsh]

I just know Justin is salty that people only do tourneys for the money and how there's zero beef and drama

things change

he's just mad

[mortal flower]

Only if like, life was affordable

And I could afford to take a week off work to fuck off

Without major financial planning or incentive

[craggy marsh]

"People only care about the money" yeah bro when the prize is half a million dollars i'm gonna care about it

[raven prawn]

i remember 2007 to 2012 cod tourneys and others. Literally all the drama and then the crackdown started cause it was bad for the sponsors so now all the drama is gone and its just professionals sitting down to see whos better

[mortal flower]

Not even that now a days with how corportatized ESports is

Everyone's owned by the saudis or similar

[craggy marsh]

Justin really wants people to fight at tourneys for nothing but ego and pride

[raven prawn]

why its kinda boring to watch now, the drama and storylines is what made it fun and unique to watch, now its just like every other sport, boring and zero storylines

[raven prawn]

so do i, makes it funny to watch

[craggy marsh]

It makes it funny but you can't be mad that someone is showing up for the money when it's a life changing amount of money

"Bro you really only care about the 1 million dollars?" yeah bro I do

Idc about your beef I want money so I can survive

[raw sand]

Egos and pride dont matter when I can pay off most of my debts in a single win lol

[craggy marsh]

ya

[raven prawn]

oh agreed, doesnt change the fact that if we could go back to early 2007 to 2012 when it was the wild west and anything went, i would absolutely love for it to and also many comp players make more off streaming than they ever will playing their esport

why their all told to stream

[queen raft]

Was the internet really that bad back than?

[dapper zealot]

yes

[queen raft]

asking as someone who was born in 1999 and grew up in a house that only had one computer and I only watched cartoons on it

[raven prawn]

it was 10 times funnier than what you see sanatised now

especially at the founding of facebook, twitter and such

2010 facebook, you could say anything and wouldnt be banned lol

[queen raft]

Oh

[raven prawn]

internet today is very sanatasied and clean for the most part

[mortal flower]

Am I looking at the same internet?

Is this internet in the room with us now?

[raven prawn]

plus OG mw2. many now, would have ran from it with the levels of toxic it was lol

[dapper zealot]

I wasn't cod lobby levels but I did have my share of offensive stuff thrown around

[queen raft]

Is it bad that I didn't know the PS3 and 360 existed until 2011?

[raven prawn]

yes and no lol

[dapper zealot]

it was much much more casual back then

[queen raft]

Tbf I wouldn't have been able to play online with PS3 and 360 back than anyway

We only had DSL which didn't have WiFi

[raven prawn]

now im curious where your from, uk has had wifi since 2001 lol

[queen raft]

The US. Wifi existed back than my house just didn't have it

[raven prawn]

fair lol

[queen raft]

I live in the middle of nowhere

We had DSL up to 2016

[craggy marsh]

It's funny bc wifi didnt become a common thing for everyone in the US until like

Yeah, mid 2010's

[queen raft]

Facts

[mortal flower]

Wifi was a rare luxury

[craggy marsh]

If you lived in the country then you got fucked

[queen raft]

Hell there's areas that still rely on dialup

[mortal flower]

Real gamers bought the PS2 adapter and port forwarded

[I was not a real gamer]

[It was scary]

😭

[craggy marsh]

Like bro my house before I moved out finally got fiber 1 year ago

[queen raft]

The PS2 slim had Ethernet built into it

[craggy marsh]

[raven prawn]

bro even the og xbox 360 needed an external device to connect to wifi lol

[queen raft]

Well the launch model did

The launch PS3 didn't even have wifi

[raven prawn]

which is the og one lol

[queen raft]

Oh nvm I misread that

[craggy marsh]

The PS3 is just archaic as fuck it's so funny

Where there's some games that will almost never be backwards compatible bc of how fucky it is

[raven prawn]

i still remember the console wars of 360 and ps3. ps3 was so bad many just bought it to brick it on purpose and then game on the 360 lol

jesus im old

[queen raft]

Also funny that Sony tried to put the XMB menu on all their products

[mortal flower]

How does the ps3 work?

Emulator devs: "idk man it just does"

[craggy marsh]

[mortal flower]

It's a good menu

Still is

[queen raft]

It is

[raven prawn]

ps3, literally hacked way more than the 360 and the 360 got hacked a lot

[queen raft]

Sad that they gave up on it though

[mortal flower]

I mean the PS3 also had the downside of trying to be a multimedia machine

And an internet browser

So yeah it was vulnrable

[tired egret]

SHOT THROUGH THE HEART, AND YOU'RE TO BLAME!

[queen raft]

And Linux

[tired egret]

PS3, HAS NO GAMES!

[mortal flower]

Shut up loser.

puts on my 3D TV glasses and plays split screen on the same screen

[craggy marsh]

The console wars era was so fucking funny man. PS2 and Xbox were pretty good. Then Sony shot themselves in the balls with the PS3. And then Xbox shot themselves in the ass with Xbone and have never recovered

[mortal flower]

Xbox circling the drain with the xbox PC game pass

[queen raft]

Infamous, uncharted, ratchet and clank: am I a joke to you?

[craggy marsh]

Ya at a certain point Xbox just like....stopped caring

Sony won purely bc Xbox gave up
