endgame-lounge

[amber fable]

That lb takes some sweet ass time

[novel garden]

Iirc that was the ability that gives you "true north" but instead it counting all positionals up to 10 secs its only on the very next positional gcd

Which kinda.. like is so odd for it to only count the one single gcd vs how true north is now

[dusk sky]

Like Vengeful Surge now, yeah

Er Life Surge, same diff

[versed kayak]

It's fine assuming you don't have two positional back to back I guess

[novel garden]

Yeah cause I was thinking that makes it so resource heavy since it entirely depend on where tank has boss positioned or greed a gcd during a mech etc since it's only for a singular gcd vs all for 10s

[raven prawn]

soooo Meteion is literally the perfect example of why NOT TO DESIGN AI

to any who played mass effect, she gives me Reaper vibes

[amber fable]

Reapers werent ai

Well..they were but

[raven prawn]

yes they were lol

[loud nymph]

I mean, they were

[amber fable]

Y'know what

Youre right

[loud nymph]

the leviathan dlc was dogshit but it explicitly stated that the reapers were originally an AI construct

[amber fable]

Leviathan species made ai and that ai harvested them?

Or did they turned themselves android

I forgot...its been a while

[loud nymph]

essentially, yes

the leviathans created the reaper intelligence with the goal of preventing mass extinctions from synthetics rising up and destroying their creators

and the intelligence said "ok cool we'll harvest you and turn you into giant robots, thereby ensuring your race lives forever"

[amber fable]

Ohh okay

And then they made relays and proceeds to harvest every species who gets to relay usage civilization...

But dont worry human ai cant do that..not yet atleast

[thorny hazel]

So pure speculation, whats the chance that dropping ps4 is related to the next field ops zone? They said its was due to storage issues on the ps4 but the original ps4 launched with 2x the storage that switch 2 has. Itd be nice to see them add 144 person instances again. Saying that its something in 8.2 specifically thats going to cause them to run out of space has been in my head since fanfest

I know, its probably more likely that they wanted to drop it before Evercold but decided not to due to chip shortage and everything else

[raven prawn]

i mean, sony themselves has said all ps4 progress has stopped and is now being dropped. if you dont have a ps5 yet, time to get one

ps4 is what? 14 years old now

[tough gorge]

yeah 13 years old

it's already discontinued in japan

[raven prawn]

ps4 has been dead since 2022 for me

lol

[tough gorge]

and they confirmed ps4 support will end in like
8.3 release iirc

[thorny hazel]

its definitely past time to drop support. I remember trying it out on ps4 back in shb and it was chugging

[tough gorge]

so ps4 players have like 2 years to go

[raven prawn]

if not less. hell theres rumors ps6 might release in the next 2 to 3 years

even the ps5 is 6 years old now

[thorny hazel]

Oh i got that mixed up then, seems weird dropping support mid expansion but yea probably just want to give ps4 players more time then ps3 with how expensive stuff is right now

[raven prawn]

i mean, you can get a ps5 pro at my local argos (similar to amazon here in the uk) no payments for 12 months and then its £42 a month for 2 years after that to pay it off

[thorny hazel]

nah im not on ps4, was more wondering what would be the issue with supporting ps4 while adding switch2. If it was an issue with performance from some specific content or something.

It is a very old system and didnt know sony had dropped support so that make sense

[sleek moon]

Switch storage expansion is officially supported though right? With SD cards

While PS4 requires tinkering

[thorny hazel]

also i do play a little on steam deck, so if ps4 cant keep up its not gonna be great for sd

[vestal hollow]

they said its a storage issue more than anything and around 8.3 will be when it becomes a problem

[pale gale]

yeah majority of ps4 players dont know how to open up the console and add a 1tb ssd

or more

not to say its bad, its expected, a console is supposed to be played without tinkering

if you want to tinker, get a pc

the hardware is kinda old

quad core no hyper threading

8 gb of slow ram

[raven prawn]

reason for that also, is if the ps5 detects that you tinkered with it and changed parts (yes it has software detection on the hardware) it will brick your ps5 and ban you. same goes for ps4 so you have to be hella careful

[pale gale]

not really for ps4

its easy

ps5 yes

still active ofc

i opened up my ps4 for a expansion upgrade

[vestal hollow]

i mean i cant imagine ps4 will perform well in ec anyways

[pale gale]

and repasted it so that its not running ass

[vestal hollow]

given the screenshots theres a big jump in fidelity

[pale gale]

theres no graphical update so to speak

but ever since dawntrail

it has taken a huge toll

[vestal hollow]

i didnt say there was

[pale gale]

big one

[vestal hollow]

but it is explicitly clear that evercold zones will be much higher quality

from the screenshots we have been shown

[pale gale]

yep

meanwhile my 4050 with 6gb of vram

[worldly grotto]

Honestly I hope Evercold takes some aspects of world design from ARR zones

[pale gale]

[worldly grotto]

Smaller and more intimate but more detailed

[vestal hollow]

nah i hope for them to take notes from modern wow zone design

[pale gale]

yeah

[worldly grotto]

But I know that’s not gonna happen

[worldly grotto]

Also true

[pale gale]

seamless???

yeah nah not gonna happen

they could take some from dragon flight

i like the zones there

elevation

you know

[worldly grotto]

Zones with verticality would be great

[pale gale]

SOTO in gw2 is full of that

since evercold, we are taking up in the skies cause the world is frozen solid

but they gotta remove the aether currents man

make flying possible at the start explore the world

they are changing the game systems so why not remove that

[raven prawn]

agreed, games already full of collectables, why are they there as well lol

[pale gale]

it doesnt even make sense to segment the map into 2 zones for low and high end

like bruh

I love ff14 for the story and sometimes the combat maybe fine

but man exploring is kinda ass

[zealous meteor]

then nobody would explore the zones they build

[clear plume]

It’s also just harder to have msq map reveals if you have the ability to fly

[lost sinew]

I think removing aether currents would actually nulify exploration even more

I'd just flesh out that system a bit more

There's a few aether currents that you have to think about how to get to in the game, those are cool, they get you to engage a bit more than you usually do

[clear plume]

I honestly wish aether currents were tied to fates instead of exploration

Always have

[dapper zealot]

There's just very little incentive to explore besides currents

Hopefully the overworld update will make zones decent

[zealous meteor]

i just wish they'd do more with aether currents

have them be sightseeing log entries maybe

[raven prawn]

adding them to fates would actually incentivise me to do them, i prefer combat over exploration

[loud nymph]

I feel like gw2 in general does verticality way better

HoT zones are also very good for that

[lost sinew]

maybe adding more currents and you have to do different things for each one?

i guess people would bristle at not being able to steamroll flying-acquisition in zones

but sometimes a little inconvenience is good

[loud nymph]

Verdant Brink for example has massive platforming sections, with achievements/mastery points/hero points all locked behind exploring really high up in the sky (or really down low below the "ground")

[jade nimbus]

well, you also have to account for the low end grids on pc

also ya know, they're adding switch 2 to the mix

oh, whoops

chat didn't scroll down

[boreal pumice]

[odd beacon]

im being dragged into dsr

god grant me the power of muscle memory

i havent done this in a year or 2

[clear plume]

That’s what my static is deciding to do Saturday too

“dsr saturday this is ur only warning come studied thru the whole fight”

[pale gale]

did they give you time to study ?

[odd beacon]

yea while the pf fills

LMFAOO

but im playing gacha instead ❤️

[pale gale]

breuh

[pale gale]

slopmaxxing

the slop must flow

[odd beacon]

hey its fun okay

[pale gale]

make sure you dont spend more than a couple hundred bucks

[jolly flume]

it works dw

[odd beacon]

nvm disbanded

[jolly flume]

I haven't properly done top in like 2 years and my hands just know what to do

mostly

[odd beacon]

that was me with top awhile ago

p3 just works

[sleek moon]

man knows how to top

[pale idol]

What the fuck is this shit, I do my first heavyweight AAC and it doesn't give me any rewards

Went to the box did 2-3 items of need and got none of it

[deep gale]

ggs see you next week

You get books (pity currency) but yeah sometimes it be that way

[pale idol]

That's shitty

[odd beacon]

my record is 3 weeks of no drop loot

[pale idol]

Like being a first time and receiving nothing is a bad ordeal.

Idk i'm salty as fuck about this.

[pale gale]

told you its weekly

[pale idol]

Not even it's my first round doing the Heavyweight AAC, got nothing.

Not unless uhh

[pale gale]

its either spending more money to get crafted

[pale idol]

My PREVIOUS Cruiser/Lightweight rounds took up my weekly rewards

that makes sense

[pale gale]

or wait weeklies to get full set of 780

for weapon, you dont need to buy the weekly tomes on those since ex7 gives out 785

so before savage you can like start ex7

[deep gale]

Is this normal or savage

[pale idol]

Yeah I figured, but how is it I do my first Heavyweight and received NO rewards, I did the Lightweight/Cruiser last night, so my only dictation is that it used up my "weeklies"

This is normal

[deep gale]

Oh just do it again then

If you didn't get any gear you can do it again.

[pale idol]

I knooow, but like damn doing 1 and receiving not a single piece, kinda jank imo.

[pale gale]

same with savage?

[deep gale]

No lmao

[pale gale]

oh

[deep gale]

If only

[pale idol]

Savage I'm sure it's worse lmfao

[pale gale]

that get my hopes up

I NEED THE RING

😭

[jolly flume]

in savage you get to roll once a week

[pale gale]

at this point im putting a merc pf

[jolly flume]

and after that no more loot for you

[deep gale]

Savage you get to see a coffer once a week, normal you can keep going until you've claimed gear.

[pale gale]

pass loot for 2 mil?

is that fine?

ring coffer

?

[jolly flume]

people would honestly do that for almost free this late

most people don't even do 9 anymore because accessories are the first thing you typically have extras of

[pale gale]

apparently i was asking in elemental for that and they still rolled for it for alts

i said i would pass except for ring

[jolly flume]

people roll on stuff they won't actually use all the time, there's also a chance people playing this late actually need the gear because they're just now clearing

[pale gale]

welp

[jolly flume]

but whatever the case 2m is way more than you'd need

[fierce matrix]

I did a 200k earring LM for it yesterday

i was like

"okay bet free gil"

[jolly flume]

lol

[fierce matrix]

and I got a free neck out of it

[pale gale]

so 200k for accessories is fine incentive?

[deep gale]

$2 and a shwarma and I'll pass on loot

[fierce matrix]

for one? sure

its m9s

[pale gale]

just one

yeah

next week

ill put up

[pale idol]

200k is a nice take

[fierce matrix]

you can have 10 DDs and 5 deaths and still clear the fight

[pale gale]

i even finished the fight 1st pull no deaths

[jolly flume]

you might be undershooting there a little sir

[fierce matrix]

my b

[pale gale]

500k?

[fierce matrix]

20 dds and 10 deaths

[jolly flume]

nah I meant furen

[pale gale]

oh

nvm

i thought we talking merc price for accessories

[fierce matrix]

I parsed a 96 with a DD

like bruh

[pale gale]

i think i got enough for it

[pale gale]

[dull drum]

m9 numbers make you realize how dogshit people are

[jolly flume]

real ones send an aetherletting aoe straight through the middle

and also don't soak their tank tower

[dull drum]

you can play like straight ass with dds and deaths and still land a purple

[pale gale]

the healer killed me by not moving out of the way in the ultrasonic spread

[dull drum]

like

[jolly flume]

last tier I took a hiatus after week 1 so I didn't even try to parse when I came back

[pale gale]

bruh

[jolly flume]

this tier I actually tried to parse a bit and man it's way too easy

[dull drum]

unlucky

[pale gale]

and dont get me started on the warrior incident

10k dps

14k at best

[jolly flume]

never trust a warrior player

here's a tip to live and die by

[pale gale]

you on tonberry right>?

[jolly flume]

the later you try to clear the tier the more you'll suffer for it

always do it early

also no I'm NA i just like pink

[pale gale]

oh

he is like there still progging

[jolly flume]

my condolences to your entire region

[pale gale]

almost most of the savage raiders know how ass he is

[vast jacinth]

I help kill partys sometimes

[pale gale]

even encouraging to just learn the job first

[fierce matrix]

im thinking about joining a casual static after ulti just to reprog on BLM

do you think its worth it

[shy obsidian]

somehow I still grief during Hell in a Cell 😭

[vast jacinth]

I think every datacenter has one of those infamout people

[pale gale]

this is why i PF in Mana

[jolly flume]

if it's just a no stakes reprog

I wouldn't mind

[pale gale]

jp people will kick you for beign shit

i dont blame them

[fierce matrix]

yeah I just wanna vibe on BLM

[pale gale]

i would kick myself if i were shit

[jolly flume]

I'm prob just gonna pf with the gang on red mage after we kill

[fierce matrix]

seems like a fun side project

or DRG

that could be fun

[deep gale]

i have kicked myself for being shit

pf could never so I took matters into my own hands

[fierce matrix]

I just hope the lock on ulti doesn't last till 8.0

[pale gale]

https://klipy.com/gifs/smg4-smg4skill-issue

[fierce matrix]

surely it unlocks at 7.56

[pale gale]

jk

[fierce matrix]

surely

[pale gale]

lol

ahhaha

[jolly flume]

idk why they even lock the ulti

like what is the point man...

[fierce matrix]

"oh no the raiders will get their 1 extra materia"

[shy obsidian]

think of it as a sanity break until next week

[fierce matrix]

especially when fucking relic comes out 1.5 months later

[deep gale]

can't have people getting too many weapons then they might not stay subscribed

[jolly flume]

I would prefer to farm all my totems early for the same reason I do week 1

it's less of a pain in the ass down the line

if I just do it all now

[pale gale]

the kefka ult is purely BIS savage raid gear right?

like has to be

[shy obsidian]

how do yall ultimaters stay sane during the first few weeks

[jolly flume]

savage and aug tome

[fierce matrix]

I could get my static to do 23 kills of an ulti in the span of a few weeks

[pale gale]

yep

[shy obsidian]

rest in peace healers
piety ring be upon them

[fierce matrix]

but having sit around every week for 2 hours for a few months is just annoying

[deep gale]

if anyone takes aug. crafted into ulti you kill them with your bare hands

[pale gale]

yeah nah ill do UwU next expansion

[fierce matrix]

aslong as you are 789 you are fine

[jolly flume]

you don't have to use the piety ring, you just better remember to throw yourself a personal for every instance of damage or you will get flamed if you die to something by 1k overkill

[shy obsidian]

what about unaugmented bygone brass gear ~~cough cough Bygone Brass Ring of Healing cough cough

[pale gale]

lol

[sleek moon]

imagine groups not clearing before the weapon gets replaced by relic

and still weekly lockout after they clear

[fierce matrix]

glam item

im fine with that, but its still just fucking annoying to have a lockout

maybe there is cope that they realize that and they unlock it at 7.55

[pale gale]

i should finish gow games

i got all of the games incluiding 4 and ragnarok

on pc

[jolly flume]

like at least with savage there's the cope explanation of slowing down gearing but ultimate is just

[shy obsidian]

so like. we're getting Ultimate Diamond weapons, right?

[jolly flume]

if you can kill the ultimate you deserve the totems man

it's just lame

[shy obsidian]

like.. ultimate versions of these? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cp7L-MjZPGM

white mages win once more

[sleek moon]

i used the diamond axe a lot before, didnt like the others

but asphodelos hammer became a mainstay now

[jolly flume]

I used the aspho gun a lot

[sleek moon]

kinda sucks if they do a panda ulti it might be the weapons from athena instead of asphodelos

[shy obsidian]

the ascension weapons aren't too bad, at least

like imagine this but MORE glowy

but yknow, that makes me wonder
how would Ultimate Asphodelos weapons work? like, more white glowy stuff, or a different color?

[stray forge]

Okay maybe I listen to him

[loud nymph]

it's good advice tbh

[zealous meteor]

never listen to chiyo

[loud nymph]

sounds like something a warrior main might say

[zealous meteor]

nah my main tank job is drk

[clear plume]

No serious healer should be considering a tome ring bis for ulti prog. The 50 dps in perfect uptime is not worth cutting piety and vit.

[fierce matrix]

whm players smh

[zealous meteor]

yeah

[clear plume]

The raid ring is basically free piety for healers to pick up, which is the most useful form of piety you can have

You are just way more likely to want an extra succour or 3 throughout the fight than you are to enrage a phase to 500 damage

[raven prawn]

just got through aitiascope (first time ever) and had my first ever dps trying to tell me how to tank. literally spamming USE PROVOKE, when i was lol

instant block once we were done

[wicked delta]

If the guy’s yelling use provoke then there’s a 75% chance he was getting hit by something you didn aggro

[raven prawn]

it was final boss, i was using it off cooldown, not my fault if hes standing in AOE

(i died to the 99999 attack) literally no clue it was coming, so i know i didnt play perfect, but i also know provoke was being used off cooldown

[jolly flume]

you're not supposed to voke off cooldown

you probably just didn't voke when you got back up from dying

(likely because it was on cooldown from being spammed)

[raven prawn]

more than likely

[wicked delta]

Thats why you dont voke on cd in the first place

Once should suffice

[jolly flume]

you lose your aggro on death, you need to reestablish immediately

ideally

[raven prawn]

even so, dont see why that means a dps needs to spam PROVOKE PROVOKE. when boss is on last 10% lol

i did it once it came off cooldown

[wicked delta]

Probably cus they don’t wanna die to a tankbuster or something lol

[deep gale]

nah i'd live

[raven prawn]

ill take that down on notes. im still learning how to tank edge of the arena bosses, really not used to those

[fierce matrix]

Its not different than normal bosses

You just have stance on and hit the boss

[raven prawn]

it is to me cause i cant move them away from people

thats what im used to

[fierce matrix]

You shouldnt be moving bosses away from people either

Should always be in the middle

[raven prawn]

yeaaah i would rather they be faced away from the dps and by moving the boss i can do that, edge of arena, cant do that

[wicked delta]

Melees will be screaming Unfortunate Words in vc if you’re dragging the boss away from mid

[raven prawn]

https://giphy.com/gifs/teacher-homework-payingattentioninclass-vtFZ8O85q8g3MmXK51

[wicked delta]

Almost no dungeon boss requires it to be anywhere else than middle so

[fierce matrix]

You should just face bosses away

Please do not move the boss from mid LOL

Just face it north

[raven prawn]

ive done it so far in every fight, yet to hear anything in game about it so assumed it was fine

[fierce matrix]

You shouldnt worry about moving the boss at all in fights

Just keep it mid as much as possible, and make sure you have stance on and do your rotation

[jolly flume]

@fierce matrix it's time

[raven prawn]

i always have stance on lol

[jolly flume]

(don't worry about what the sign in the back says)

[fierce matrix]

You should never have to voke a boss either if you have stance on

Unless you are not doing your rotation properly

[sleek moon]

people are very non confrontational in the game so you wont hear it if you're doing something wrong, unless someone else is at risk of dying like this guy yelling provoke

[deep gale]

https://tenor.com/view/rage-emoji-rage-gif-2922587064166244739

[fierce matrix]

So id look at some things if he had aggro of a wall boss and you had stance on

Sounds like a rotational issue if a DPS is pulling aggro

[shy obsidian]

btw whaddya guys think about this absolute doohickey

[boreal pumice]

passive aggresive as most

[raven prawn]

i mean i did die, provoke was on cooldown, boss was on last 10%, i provoked once it was off cooldown. he still continued spamming

[wicked delta]

You’re more likely to get “can you do [X] please”

[raven prawn]

https://giphy.com/gifs/celebs-muppets-elmo-jPAdK8Nfzzwt2

[fierce matrix]

The gold chests everywhere is a mood

[boreal pumice]

can you use cure 2? silence this mother trucker

[jolly flume]

thaumcraft feels like cheating

infinite water sources for all my chemistry

[sleek moon]

is there any room to store some of these there

[pine holly]

I usually don't say anything unless the mistake is so major that its going to be an active hindrance for the rest of the duty.

Or if we're past ARR content and you're single pulling. I will politely ask to pull more because I don't want to spend 30 minutes on Qitana Revel

[boreal pumice]

i ask nice first an ramp up till im im sod this il eat the 30 be someone else problem

[pine holly]

Honestly me asking is a courtesy, I will pull more deliberately to encourage the tank that he can do it. Otherwise I'm just gonna hope for a kick so I can move on.

Unless its ARR, I ain't gonna bully some dude who is that new.

[jolly flume]

same man

I've started moving hetonite parts to valley 4

[dapper zealot]

Quite a lot of the time I'm just unsure. Like tank is getting whacked more than I'd expect and I don't notice mits. But next pull is ok and I do notice mits. But something is still off and Im not sure what it is

[raven prawn]

i mean, even in my first runs of literally every dungeon (vast majority ive only done once so far as grinding msq) i still wall to wall pull lol and spam aoe

[pine holly]

Yeah I've had that too. I also have done these duties so many times that I can tell in about 20 seconds if damage is the problem

[true beacon]

typically I can tell relative to hp

[pine holly]

Which I might just eat it and not say much unless the pulls are taking that long

[sleek moon]

too lazy for that lmao im doing funny shit with extra thermal banks, and making more hetonite components

[pine holly]

I did once get into Dohl Mheng with a very hostile bard, being babied by his friends the entire dungeon, who didn't do aoe or songs. It was noticeable.

[dapper zealot]

I do literally have macros to turn on party VFX to full and limited just to check if people are doing aoes if something feels off

[pine holly]

I remember I commented on the damage in a way that didn't single anyone out, and he immediately got pissed

[true beacon]

hell I can tell if skills go off via to sfx

[pine holly]

Which indicates this was a common occurrence

And killing things fast doesn't take optimal gameplay, you just hit buttons.

[deep gale]

getting consistent comments about your lack of dps in the video game where no one is willing to be mean enough is incredible

[pine holly]

I don't even get it either since I can't imagine its fun to just hit 1 as Bard for hundreds of hours

What about your other stuff. Like the big arrow you shoot out from one of your songs.

[boreal pumice]

ppl get coddled so much that when they do get asked about something they just blow up go on defence or have someone white knight them

[deep gale]

I did expert roulette on reset and nearly cried with joy because it was a normal instance that took less than fifteen minutes and no one was afk for the entire instance unlike the last four

[worn bluff]

so i guess all these extra jade xiranite gourds are useless

[raven prawn]

ngl all of this, is why i plan to use party finder for practice before dedicating time to any static come my time to finally do savage, well that and i will for sure need a coach as tanking in this game is slightly different to others

[dapper zealot]

I mean, it depends on the static

[deep gale]

So long as you're honest about your experience or lack thereof there's no reason to feel "not ready" for a static.

[dapper zealot]

Only difference between a static and pf is you stick with one long term

[deep gale]

I shouldn't talk too much because I've only been in like, two, over the past four years but if everyone is upfront with expectations things are chill

[dull drum]

I LOVE PARTY FINDER

[fierce matrix]

Statics are always hard to find the right ones

You have to come into a group with all the right skill levels and all the right expectations

You obv will have people who are better than others but aslong as its comparable its not too bad

[tall field]

Expectations is the harder parameter

[fierce matrix]

yeah

[tall field]

Some static leaders are

[fierce matrix]

PF you can just say "our playstyles don't match" then kick em and find someone new

with a static, its just morale destroying when you dont have someone permantently in your group and 1-2 are always rotating

[tall field]

And too much no shows

Forcing u to cancel runs

Or well wait pf

[fierce matrix]

Yeah, expectations are pretty important to set.

[pine holly]

I fell into my casual static just because I filled in for them once for a reclear and when their tank dropped out the next tier they just messaged me.

[deep gale]

connections gaming

[fierce matrix]

I couldn't join a casual static cause our mindsets don't mesh well

I will do whatever to improve and edge mechs to get as much uptime as possible to squeeze out DPS

[pine holly]

Yeah know what you're getting into. The one I was in before I was better than a lot of the members there and got irritated when we got stuck. Not a fun place to be in.

[jolly flume]

I just wanna have fun with players that dont make me want to waterboard myself

which is kind of a high bar with this game

[fierce matrix]

you should raid with me

ill make you wanna be waterboarded

[jolly flume]

ill make YOU wanna be waterboarded

ask my static about the shit I say mid pull

[round burrow]

I love greeding and end up successfully greeding

[fierce matrix]

trust me Ill say horrendous stuff too

[raven prawn]

with my current game knowledge and skill level, you wont just be water boarded, you would be hung drawn and quartered with how bad i am lol, especially on rotation knowledge and other stuff lol. I have a lot to learn despite being level 93 on paladin. every day im learning something new from dungeon to dungeon

trial to trial

[fierce matrix]

There is no such thing as greeding. Its good play or bad play. Good play is keeping uptime and making no mistakes. Bad play is keeping low uptime and making mistakes for mechs

[round burrow]

[fierce matrix]

greeding is a myth

[raven prawn]

cant be perfect 100% of the time though when it comes to that

[round burrow]

We all say the most outlandish shit and homies won't bat a fuckin' eye

[fierce matrix]

nah but then thats bad play

good play is resolving mechs and keeping uptime as much as you can

[deep gale]

if the static vc logs drop its over gg

[fierce matrix]

if you can keep uptime but its a bit dangerous

thats not greeding thats just playing properly

[tall field]

My approach was mechs then if u comfy try to squeeze where u can gain uptime

Except naught hunts cos that mech is shyt

[round burrow]

It was a proteon on deep blue bc I eas close to killing the other team, ended up not killing because i slid in there like im trynna talk smooth to someone lmfaooo

[tall field]

[fierce matrix]

see I always edge mechs right away

because its the worst to see enrage then wipe to the first two mechs 5 times in a row cause you are greeding

[jolly flume]

limit test early!!

[fierce matrix]

yep

always do it early, dont do it late and then drop morale cause you wipe early in the fight a bunch

basically reprogging the fight

[jolly flume]

hey furen

[fierce matrix]

yeah

whats up

[jolly flume]

guess who's been put on batch crafting 2 stacks of ev circuits duty

[fierce matrix]

LOLOLOLOL

holy fuck LMAO

[jolly flume]

thats not all of it btw

it just doesnt fit in the shulker box anymore

[fierce matrix]

Yeah doesn';t surprise me

its been a while but i remember doing the same shit

god all the red alloy wire

[jolly flume]

I cant wait to have platinum

[fierce matrix]

I had a whole iron chest full of circuit precrafts

[jolly flume]

the higher tier recipes with the moon metals and stuff are so much more efficient

[fierce matrix]

once you get that and ME itll go alot smoother

have you looked at the AE crafting recipes yet

[jolly flume]

no

[fierce matrix]

take a peak

[jolly flume]

all I know is you request craft you get craft

[stark prawn]

i havent played since 6.3 and i wanna get back into EX trials but i watched a guide for hell on rails EX and i got overwhelmed. i dont really have a group to play with so back in the day i did PF but i might need a helping hand via VC maybe to get me back into it

[sleek moon]

watching the whole thing will overwhelm you, but once you start practicing the earlier parts it gets easier, you can focus on half of the guide first -> practice that -> focus on the other half

[rapid whale]

main thing is perseverence imho

you might suck but

i was always the most positive person you knew

[remote gate]

elounge i have a question. what does it mean to be a larper in a fandom cuz larping is just roleplaying irl. is it like pretending to be a fan of something

[trim frost]

to be a fake fan posturing as a genuine one

[remote gate]

like i saw someone on xiv twitter call another person an ff larper

[trim frost]

usually by showing that you lack critical or fundamental knowledge about the thing you claim to be a fan of

[tough gorge]

larper in this context is just poser

we already have a word for this, and it's called poser

[trim frost]

why it's called larp is because you "roleplay" as being a fan rather than being an actual fan

[rapid whale]

most xiv players are larping as ff fans

they just like xiv smile

[boreal pumice]

think of it like anime tourists

[dull drum]

im half larping i only played 1,3,4,5,6,10

and 16

[rapid whale]

no 9 wtf

[dull drum]

nope

i didnt play 7-9

[remote gate]

so basically ppl pretending to like something but in reality they literally know basic level stuff and not the deep end stuff

[rapid whale]

7 and 8 are skippable

[dull drum]

7 fans would hang you for that

[rapid whale]

molten lava take but i rly do believe 7 overrated af

[dull drum]

i do own remake intergrade

but not rebirth

but something something ff7 remake is a different timeline than orig ff7 because ghost nonsense

idfk

[remote gate]

whats your opinion on ff7: DoS

[tough gorge]

mate that's an arctic take

[boreal pumice]

ive never played 11

[rapid whale]

wdym og 7 fans tout it as like the most important game in history

[rapid whale]

bonus points for cool vampire

[boreal pumice]

it is the one that got the most ppl into the series and most regnoisable charactaers

[remote gate]

when in reality the most important game in history is super monkey ball

[rapid whale]

SUPER OPO BALL

[tough gorge]

wrong

[remote gate]

but speaking of ffxi third AR genuinely has me interested in the game

[rapid whale]

iirc there are some good private servers but idt you want the og og experience

you think xiv is bad with the 500 hours of msq to reach end game

[remote gate]

the alexander boss has incredible VA, the promethia boss is cool as shit, and the shinryu boss looks like an actual final boss of the game

[rapid whale]

era accurate xi would probably take most people a year to reach end game, and that's including the fact people are more willing to help

[dull drum]

i should finish 12

[remote gate]

would I have to play on a ps2 to get that genuine experience bapple

[rapid whale]

12 peam but you can rly tell when matsuno said fuck yall and left the team cuz they forced him to add vaan

[dull drum]

think i stopped really early on because i literally just got basch

[rapid whale]

i can only imagine how pisesd off matsuno got tho

[remote gate]

never been able to get past like the fifth hour of ffxii because the game bored me to death

[rapid whale]

have this whole story written out with all this political intrigue and mythology and some suits are like, "hey can you add a teenage boy so people have someone to self insert on"

[remote gate]

like the last thing I remember is vaan going into town and bragging that basch is back

[rapid whale]

i just like ivalice

[tough gorge]

ff11 is pretty much pc only now

also the devs are still sadistic as fuck on the current version

ff11 has ults called master trials and it took groups MONTHS to get world first on some

[rapid whale]

yea

1 pull for like, 100 man hours outside of instance lmao

[whole estuary]

Ivalice da best

[rapid whale]

it rly is

[tough gorge]

the latest ff11 ult was released 2 years ago
and it was only cleared last month

and it was a massive matter of luck more than anything

60min time limit
and takes 50min or so to clear

[rapid whale]

atp anyone still playing xi is there for life

so i imagine they just go balls out

[whole estuary]

FF14 is supposed to be the MMO that respects your time

FF11 doesn't have to respect anything

[rapid whale]

not even itself

[remote gate]

ffxi having ultimates is insane to me actually

im assuming the ults aren't like xiv ults since xi and xiv are two vastly different games

[zealous meteor]

i also like 11 (well, the story)

[shy obsidian]

i can only imagine them being the biggest damage sponges ever...

[zealous meteor]

damage sponges and bullshit mechs

[shy obsidian]

sounds like an interesting experience

[zealous meteor]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owXygzRTdX0

[rapid whale]

so instead of mechs (altho they exist) think of it more like puzzles with the buffs/debuffs/etc

much closer to old school ff in that regard

like oh you need xyz set up from abc jobs

[trim frost]

my first ff game was theatrhythm

i might be senior level larp

[rapid whale]

much, much less homogenization than xiv so it really is not just "tank uses short mit + 40%"

it's like, "okay someone on the team has to have rdm for stoneskin" or something like that

[zealous meteor]

i have played more ff games than just 14 i swear i've played 11,
and started but not finished 10, 12, 15, and tactics. help

[true beacon]

mine was FFBE

[shy obsidian]

i haven't finished IX yet...

[rapid whale]

go finish tactics

[shy obsidian]

I can't tell if it's better or worse that my first ever FF game was... XIV

[rapid whale]

tactics p easily in top 5 games square has ever made

i think thats p normal for this generation

[tough gorge]

my first one was 10

[rapid whale]

its my generation that grew up on ff

[trim frost]

i'm struggling in tactics rn

[sinful brook]

okay old man

[rapid whale]

yalls generation grew up with xiv unironically

[sinful brook]

mb

[stray forge]

I didn’t like tactics

[zealous meteor]

my first ff game was teeeechnically 10 but i played it for like an hour before giving up
then 9 which i played for like six hours
i didn't seriously start ff until i picked up 14

[tough gorge]

I had the demo as a kid and finished the hd remaster like a decade ago, then stopped playing x-2 because I couldn't take it seriously

[trim frost]

i don't know how to deal with the ||wiegraf|| duel in chapter 3

[stray forge]

The character progression was boring to me

[winged spindle]

I don't receive anymore message for my static 😢

[tough gorge]

I have 9 and the 13 trilogy on steam I ought to get to them at some point

and 15 and 16

[trim frost]

i wish there was more variety in the recruitable non-main units

i guess i could just go to fire emblem for that but then that means i'm playing fire emblem

[zealous meteor]

4, 10, 12, 15, tactics on steam
9 on switch
11 and 14 direct from SE
and i pirated 4/5/6's GBA versions and those are probably the ones i'll play. from what little i've played of them they feel a lot nicer than the pixel remasters

[tough gorge]

I played 6 on 3ds but with a qol romhack and a different translation

[trim frost]

also iirc male units are better suited to physical jobs and female units magical jobs ? or so i remember reading

[rapid whale]

At least it doesn't brick your save in the new one

[trim frost]

what

it can do that .

[tough gorge]

I'd be interested in trying out 11 in a private server ngl

[jade nimbus]

monk it up

[tough gorge]

get the og experience
I used to play a kmmo as a kid I'm used to it

[jade nimbus]

that's what I did

[dull drum]

the gba versions also just straight up have more content

[trim frost]

i am 😭

[dull drum]

esp for 5 and 6

[sleek moon]

smh sexism in my fantasy game

[jade nimbus]

the game does turn a bit bs too at that point of the story, especially on hard, imo

[rapid whale]

It used to be a right of passage yeah. Cuz you know how it lets you save between the stages? Ppl would save before that fight and then shrimply not have an mc strong enough to win and gg your save bricked

[trim frost]

oh

was there one save slot

[rapid whale]

No people just didn't know any better

[zealous meteor]

yea i know about that

[jade nimbus]

but iirc the way I did it was || was running away, healing, and buffing with the other ramza ability which I forgot||

[trim frost]

like mb i designed my main squad to be balanced i didnt realize i was going into a fucking dick measuring contest

[dull drum]

idk why they didnt just make a remaster that included gba content but ig to like

keep the spirit of the original

[whole estuary]

you don't HAVE to minmax

[jade nimbus]

I think it was cheer

[dull drum]

man fuck that shit i want more superbosses

[wicked delta]

wtf is that

[zealous meteor]

but comparing the gba version of 4 with the pixel remaster, the gba version feels more.... authentic?
idk why. the pixel remaster feels "wrong" somehow

[whole estuary]

Tallafell!

[trim frost]

yo its villy

[sleek moon]

slenderwoman

[whole estuary]

so cute

[dull drum]

might be because of the fact you have to modify the text font

because otherwise the default font is HORRID

[rapid whale]

Min maxing almost always leads to a worse exp in ff games IMHO because they simply aren't hard enough to warrant it

[tough gorge]

howard the alien

https://tenor.com/view/howard-the-alien-gif-20595501

[jade nimbus]

you just cheer yourself until you skyricoket in strength and also kill what comes after

[jade nimbus]

unless you're ff tactics

[zealous meteor]

it's that, and the fade in/out animations (for enemies) feel wrong?
and the resolution is Too High

[sleek moon]

https://tenor.com/view/fallout-dog-zomboid-suspicious-gif-10712400350108666363

[trim frost]

i think my main thing is like

[zealous meteor]

tell that to my idiot ass wiping on every boss

[trim frost]

i take so much damage from hallowed bolt

i don't know if it's a fixed amount or something

but i tried putting magickal defense boost on and it did nothing and now i feel stupid

oh and i also tried to go mystic to disable him and Forgot it's a boss battle

[remote gate]

am I a ff larper my first ff was the ds remake of ffiv

[jade nimbus]

so if you run away, and space it good enough, Wiegraf has 1 turn where he can't reach you to attack you iirc

[zealous meteor]

no

[jade nimbus]

which you can use to cheer and heal with monk selfheal

[rapid whale]

just 1 shot with dual wield ninja /s

[proper cave]

Oh I got something for this

[remote gate]

ffiv ds was fun but it began my hate for ffiv

after years made it real

[jade nimbus]

also if you can give you extra movement speed it is also good

[sleek moon]

ff4 was fun, i quit ff4 ds

was too hard

went back to the gba version

[zealous meteor]

i've heard the ds/3d remakes of 3 and 4 are intentionally a lot harder than the originals

but idk if that's true

[trim frost]

i think i need to grab a movement passive then because i have not yet been able to run away in time

or if i am able to run away it's when he gets a double turn

so it's just 😐

[sleek moon]

idk about 3, i think the original is harder lol

plus was the only one not ported to gba for whatever reason

[jade nimbus]

oh, ye, tailwind is the other thing

but ye, it is kinda of an oof fight

ff tactics has a bunch of things like that, that are really cool, but also pretty ass

[trim frost]

i like the story so far though

[jade nimbus]

like iirc some of the best equip in the game you can only get once if you bring a thief with the treasure hunter ability to a location which is only accessible during a certain quest fight

[remote gate]

they are harder but you get the ability to give characters additional actions like giving kain cecil's darkness ability to power up his damage or dualcast to rosa or rydia

[trim frost]

,

[remote gate]

that being said snes ffiv is piss easy if you played the western version

[trim frost]

well i don't really intend to minmax so i guess it's whatever

[jade nimbus]

oh, ye, it is just funky, and also not needed at all

[rapid whale]

min maxing in tactics involves intentionally de-lvl'ing your characters to get ideal level up stats based on jobs etc i hate it

[jade nimbus]

I man, that's the extra min maxing step

[remote gate]

considering ive played ffiv snes, gba, and ds + after years i think im justified in hating the shit out of post EW msq

[jade nimbus]

it is not even needed to do the super dungeon

[remote gate]

is stat maxing difficult to do in tactics

i see ppl with 999 hp in that game on YouTube

[rapid whale]

difficult no just annoying

its why i say dont bother

[jade nimbus]

so the way stats work in tactics is that each job has different growth rate, and your job at the moment you level up affects which stats you increase and by how much

[clear plume]

It wasn’t on the snes which was the rest of the ones ported, and importantly had never been localized for global release

[tall field]

2.09% enuo

[jade nimbus]

this also works in reverse, cause the game there are things called 'deleveling traps', which delevel you and decrease your stats based on your current job

[clear plume]

But the goal was intentionally to show off the gba could play snes games

[tall field]

ngl healers have it hardest

and nought hunts people panic

[jade nimbus]

tldr you decrease your level with shit jobs, and increase it with good job to max all stats

but imo, it is not needed for anything

not even the superdungeon requires that much minmaxing

[remote gate]

do you blow everything out of the water with max stats

[stray forge]

dont care ill keep playing it 🗿

[jade nimbus]

almost iirc

also it matters more in tactics advance and tactics advance 2 iirc

cause you need everyone to dip into ninja for a least a few levels just cause speed is so relevant there

[remote gate]

which fe is this???

seeing fe fights not have frame rate drops is foreign to me

[rapid whale]

is it not engage

[stray forge]

its toothpaste

[rapid whale]

im orange juice

[stray forge]

i bet ur made from concentrate

godzilla son or gamera daughter

[rapid whale]

mothra

[zealous meteor]

don't let @wanton iris hear that

[clear plume]

Ta2 ninja is a Hume only class, so dipping into it is a little hard to do, but either way not required by any metric, by the time you complete all the quests and get to superbosses you’re not struggling on them just bc levels stop relatively mid sized

For enemies

[wanton iris]

[clear plume]

There isn’t like level 99 superbosses that take an hour to fight

[raven prawn]

whats better for newbies into dawntrail once you hit 100? crafted gear or tomestone gear? or should i do a mix of both until one of them is completely full?

[rapid whale]

you are capped weekly on the amount of tomes you can obtain

you are p much forced to use crafted pieces then replace with either tome or savage gear

oh yeah there's also the alliance raid

https://universalis.app/

[raven prawn]

im not even thinking about savage until im a lot more confident in my abilitys lol

[rapid whale]

highly highly recommend looking up the gear on here first to find your cheapest price

we had someone who paid like nearly 8x the cost the other day

was sadge

[amber fable]

Normal raid gear for start

Crafted if you have cash

Capped tome in the meanwhile to fill slots you havent with above 2

[remote gate]

for now just chill and do content. try the extremes from dawntrial starting with EX1 and go down the list if you want some experience

[amber fable]

For ex start with newest one

Older ex player population gets very mixed

For pug atleast

[rapid whale]

ye its about as random as duty finder/roulettes

[tepid briar]

okay this has to be a new record

tank on stampede prog

[amber fable]

Df tier on ex is about as good as doing ex blind

[tepid briar]

screwed up dod five times

I think every single wipe was them

[raven prawn]

will do, im close to finishing base endwalker so still a bit to go, im a planner though so wanna be prepped for when i do eventually get there lol, also saving gil for when i do

[tepid briar]

they were also lying about prog apparently

[amber fable]

By the time you get to dt end gear wont matter as much

[raven prawn]

i know, why im prepping for dawntrail lol

i wanna be geared asap when i get there lol

[amber fable]

I am saying you dont have to

You will catch up by that time

[tulip wraith]

courtly will be enough to do anything except new ult

[amber fable]

As long as you get one job to 100 to get capped tomes from roulletes

[rapid whale]

tf are you doing in this channel

[amber fable]

You will likely save up 2k capped tomes

[rapid whale]

jk obv but ye

you got a long ways to go

[raven prawn]

best place to ask questions. if i ask in beginner lounge i might be hit with being told im pushing spoilers lol for any questions i ask cause some do contain spoilers lol

[tulip wraith]

i mean just dont say a boss name really

[vast jacinth]

Just dont say the boss name

[raven prawn]

yeaaah if im wanting to talk about a specific boss in a specific duty/ msq boss. i kinda have to say the name lol

NOUGHT hunts

[tough gorge]

jp player 🫵

[zealous meteor]

yeah as long as you don't go "wow im really struggling on hydaelyn EX" or similar in #beginner-lounge it's fine

[rapid whale]

that reminds me of some streamer who had people making characters jsut to send them tells of spoilers

sad stuff

[zealous meteor]

someone posted that here like... yesterday right

[rapid whale]

i think so

[tough gorge]

yeah I saw that lately on twitter

Great Community By The Way

[rapid whale]

oic

[craggy marsh]

Ya it's a meme bc of that one time when XIV got picked for best community or something

[amber fable]

Best at cooking drama

But I feel theres much better contenders out there

For that

[craggy marsh]

"XIV drama"

looks inside

oh...it's just relationship drama

[rapid whale]

since final fantasy appeals to all form of fiction enjoyers i guess it was only a matter of time before it drew in the delulus

[craggy marsh]

relationship drama is weird as fuck bc that shit should be taken care of behind closed doors

it's no one elses business

[amber fable]

Talking like adults?

Gtfo

We need validation okay

[craggy marsh]

XIV players needing validation they never got growing up

[tall field]

The provoke spammer is born from there

[craggy marsh]

8.0 will feed provoke spammers for generations

[tall field]

goodluck in alliance raid if all 3 are main tanks

Let me MT i need my dps
NO I WILL MT I NEED MY counter attack
NO I AM MT i should also do counter attack

And well boss started spinning around

[craggy marsh]

so like

the counter attack will work on raidwides right? or is it only busters

[tall field]

any tbh

[rapid whale]

im guessing it's just like tbn for them

[tall field]

yea

[craggy marsh]

so then there should be zero issue with running double MT

[remote gate]

tbn removed but not really

[wicked delta]

these are the healers in your static prepare to wipe

[boreal pumice]

which one do you think is tobi?

[remote gate]

also question elounge, if I get my bis armor pieces from m10s with my chest being tome chest, is there any reason to reclear m11s because I dont want to waste my time in there for repeats if i dont have to

[rapid whale]

[zealous meteor]

[deep gale]

is coro the mechanic we ignored day 1

[true beacon]

that's AA

[deep gale]

I think I have literally one sphene clear lmao

Sounds like there's no fight left maybe it's time to go back and farm my wings

[true beacon]

[thin fox]

always keep ur duty in progress thing checked

[true beacon]

I've never had it on

[deep gale]

I gotta do the aliance raids

I can't believe there's content after unsubbing for 9 months funny how that works

[raven prawn]

question, whats the difference between expert roulette and normal roulette?

do i get to be level 100 all the time and use everything in expert? or is it still level restricted?

[remote gate]

expert roulette are the two most recent dungeons to be released (7.5 dungeon and 7.4 dungeon)

in expert youll be at lv 100 since thats the level of the most recently released dungeon

level 100 dungeon roulette are any dungeons 7.3 and before

[tulip wraith]

then theres lvl cap roulette which is every 100 dungeon except the most recent 2

[raven prawn]

wait thats a thing? HELL YES

[remote gate]

90/80/70/60/50 are all the dungeons from those levels (youre probably going to get some bullshit dungeon like hakke manor hard)

[wicked delta]

Got a run with godlike crit luck and then we wiped cus someone else fucked up a mech

[boreal pumice]

aerid have you seen the changes in oc/ft

[tulip wraith]

like with 7.5?

or are there newer ones coming

i know pots are faster to kill and fates are slower

and 1 CE isnt enough re level after a FT wipe

and drop rates for random shit not from coffers got buffed

[versed kayak]

does someone have the gif of CoD where someone LBs and breaks the platform infront of them?

[boreal pumice]

green dot is gone but the dnc buff bug is gone also at the end of FT its still in jp text

GREEN DOT GONE

[tulip wraith]

it wasnt enough at launch, then i think 7.4 made it so it was enough, now its not enough again with 7.5

[boreal pumice]

sadly they fixed the dnc bug so no longer getting free 2% without a dnc in ft

[versed kayak]

thanks :D

[shy obsidian]

wait what bug

[boreal pumice]

basicly everyone buff you have applied before enter fork tower gets wiped beside the dnc so you prebuff the 2% buff then swap off dnc and enter but now you cant carry that over

we called it rock gang

[tulip wraith]

interesting

[boreal pumice]

na never preused dnc buff b4 entering?

[tulip wraith]

not that I've been aware of

[turbid haven]

Are we allowed to talk about drama here?

[loud nymph]

I mean you can but if it involves streamers I guarantee nobody will care because they all fucking suck

[turbid haven]

I mainly watch 3, Xeno, Happy, and Arthars. But lately the amount of cringe has been annoying me from both xeno and arthars, lately more from xeno

[loud nymph]

yeah they all fucking suck

[turbid haven]

Xeno with his constant drama and AI stuff, I get the dood has went through alot of legal problems because of weirdos, but recently the mr happy drama seems like his own fault

[loud nymph]

it's all just farming engagement

stop watching dipshit streamers

[turbid haven]

Even happy? So far I dont see anything wrong, I only know of old stuff where he made "bad" guides, which is in the past so doesn't concern me

[loud nymph]

yes, all

[vestal hollow]

xeno is a misogynist bitchbaby

[turbid haven]

Ok who do I watch for ffxiv content? 😹

[loud nymph]

no one

it's a waste of your time and this game sucks to watch

[vestal hollow]

ffxiv content is very boring

outside of ult races

[loud nymph]

do literally anything else with your time

[vestal hollow]

you should play mixtape

[turbid haven]

Oh I forgot Sarah jane, shes cool

[loud nymph]

pick your belly button lint, I guarantee it's more productive than watching Streamer Content™

[dull drum]

thing is even for ult races majority dont even actually watch pull by pull

usually what happens is OH MY GOD THEY MADE PROGRESS and then one person comms it and everyone tunes in to see

and then OMG NEW PHASE!!!

back to bedge

[sinful brook]

i do the same thing with ult races as i do with live letters

i catch up after it ends

or i wait for the clees bait tweet to laugh

[true beacon]

Rath

[visual geyser]

watching xiv content oh my gad

[deep gale]

Any time I've considered watching any kind of Twitch stream I immediately get jumped by twelve ads that slipped under my ad blocker so I do not understand the appeal

[visual geyser]

yknow what this game needs to add

an easy way to see which fucking relic i have

10 billion quests for the EW ones and i cant remember which ones i've gotten for certain jobs

[worn bluff]

you mean you don’t like watching someone who spends 8+ hours a day on the same 6 fights scream at strangers for making mistakes?

[random needle]

Iirc, you should be able to see them in their own category in the Achievements menu

[tepid briar]

can't wait for ddos to come back

[wicked delta]

Just say Yama Graves

I like watching Dank Tank we play marbles

[true beacon]

just saw 6 wings in a row drop for ZJ

[worn bluff]

i swear his stream is more marbles than FF now

[wicked delta]

And its fine content

[worn bluff]

marbles has more variation than an FF raid

[wicked delta]

[remote gate]

i progged ex7 and its not a bad fight at all but we didnt get past naught hunts

is naught hunts the wall of the fight

[tall field]

Naught hunts is
This how we do it
Center is always safe before orb rushes to you
Once you get tethered
Look at orb
Now go right assuming you look at orb.
It should take u to a boundary

Run cw

But yea some panic over this and cause havoc

[clear plume]

More or less, it is something people can either do or can’t

And at this point of prog I’d place it likely in the can’t for a lot of people

[tall field]

We had to eeler lb3

After hunts

6 died

Hence

[amber fable]

Its only like week 3 of ex

[remote gate]

simple enough though for some reason when I was doing it, a person would get the tether then die. i would then get the tether and just start taking vul stacks even when im away from the orb until I quickly die afterwards

[tall field]

Yea cos some move it mid

[remote gate]

am I doing the movement wrong or does that happen if orb movement isnt properly resolved at first?

[tall field]

Orb chases by whats the shortest straight line distance between u and orb

So if you angle urself (should you end up being after the running happened)

It will also accordingly change its path

This change sometimes causes it go through mid if done badly

And well

Chiyo once posted an image of this

[remote gate]

is it similar to eruption baits movement if that makes sense

[tall field]

Of how orb chases

Ye

Can compare
Eruption also tracks ur str8 line path

[remote gate]

think I can work with that concept

[tall field]

Thatz why iirc hector thought to make the angle between arrows and tether 0°

So the path remains same

[true beacon]

wow

The Arcadion is only 26k

[dull drum]

for sure

i have warp ready thats all i got

[jolly flume]

we are ready for sigma prog

[stray forge]

im a chud

[naive leaf]

could someone please explain to me specifically how to mitigate against Death Sentence in shinryu unreal

[tall field]

Just pop short cd?

[naive leaf]

damage reduction?

[tall field]

Yea

Tera slash you can use ur 40% and be fine

[naive leaf]

cuz internet insists you can interrupt and i'm like uh. no?

tera's fine. i'm frustrated specifically by death sentence in add phase

[tall field]

Not that ive seen it works

But ye just avoid those line aoes the other mobs do

Since they give poison dot

1 or 2 is fine but ye

For death sentence i just pop my 90s unique mit with short cd and done (yes drk u have it 60s)

[naive leaf]

as OT i grab the 2nd farther hakkinryu that spawns in 2nd group but MT keeps grabbing it anyway

hm.

[tall field]

Same. Its not that bad

Main is just kill em tbh

Sometimes i grab threat and i didnt even use my full bursr

Was like how

[naive leaf]

well yes but dps is never high enough to kill them before that

because i'm in PF hell :D

but ok. thank you for the info

[tall field]

Yeah you will have to face more then 1 wave

But yeah grab big boi and spam aoe should be good. If mt grabs it its not a dps taking so all good

The one strat i saw different vs hector

Is

The meteor placement
