bad time to say, im a press W gamer and use the camera to move lol, everything else is given over to keybinds for attacks/buffs

tulip wraith
#

i mean if youre quick with your mouse thats fine ig

#

i play legacy standard so i have to move my camera to walk backwards

#

if backstepping is too slow

#

but i usually side walk if i need to do that

raven prawn
#

backstepping is always too slow lol, also im pretty quick with the mouse

tulip wraith
#

so im still facing the boss enough

tough gorge
#

isn't backstepping a standard thing

#

not legacy

amber fable
#

Yes

#

Legacy is standard run backwards

#

Standard camera backpeddle

#

And it also move toward boss if your camera is orientated toward boss

tulip wraith
#

wait

#

i mixed it up

amber fable
#

Like if you run away from boss but camera is oriented toward boss

tulip wraith
#

oopsies

amber fable
#

You will run toward boss

#

Even with pressing w to move away

#

I have died enough time to that shit to never use standard now

tough gorge
#

standard gaming ever since I started playing

tulip wraith
#

:3

#

toontown has conditioned my brain

valid solar
#

I swapped to legacy immediately as I started

#

dont like it when camera is locked to the character

meager hawk
#

ive tried legacy so many times but my brain just cannot compute it hilariously enough

valid solar
#

could you elaborate

#

what part of it confuses you

meager hawk
#

i have a visual processing disorder and something about it just makes it kick up and so i get very confused which ends up with my brain just shutting off lol its nothing abt the game its just a mental thing

#

its disorienting for me

tall field
#

I like legacy since

#

I want to be able to lock my camera to 1 place

#

And control my character based on it

#

Icicles in shinryu unreal

#

P8S volcanic torches

#

Mechs like these i need to throw my camera at an angle and resolve it

tulip wraith
#

having to constantly be in charge of my camera just makes me feel more locked in

#

maybe from years and thousands of hours in fps games??? if i had to think of a reasoning???

tall field
#

And coming from skyrim

tulip wraith
#

moving in tandem is just ingrained in me

tall field
#

Where you have freemovement in camera

#

I liked legacy

amber fable
#

I use hybrid camera plugin which basically adds the rightclick character rotation of standard to legacy

#

Best of both world

#

Should have this by default in game

yeah i'm not surprised that thordan is transphobic

i meant the op but sure

that too

...checked their profile and jesus fucking christ

lost sinew
#

How Thordan would react if you asked for pronouns: "I use any pronouns! thanks for asking!"

zealous meteor
#

that is 4chan levels of transphobia

#

not surprising seeing as it's twitter

but jfc

it is kinda crazy to be that overtly transphobic on ff14twt

Everyone is gay trans or both

Good for em

except for this guy apparently

lost sinew

i don't really buy into the whole "how could this person be bigoted but also a fan of (property)" but existing in online communities for something where people are super - as you just said - gay trans or both

speaking as a long running Star Trek fan it is something that the fandom has constantly struggled with, despite the progressive theming of the Federation as what is essentially a post scarcity socialist utopia and the overall message of "hey we should all learn to coexist peacefully", there is a huge chunk of fans who are.......fucking awful and who think Trek has only recently "gone woke"

amber fable
#

Tribalism is hard to get rid of

#

Something something human genes I am guessing

loud nymph
#

Trek had an extremely heavy handed race metaphor aired on live TV over 60 years ago but yeah sure it's only recently that the series is woke

#

it's utterly bizarre

amber fable
#

We are regressing as society

#

Even with all the tech breakthrough

#

Somehow the mindset is regressing backwards

meager hawk
#

alas spreading love and acceptance doesnt make money but hate sure does

amber fable
#

Internet has so much info but morons would rather believe some grifter

#

Instead of searching it themselves

#

Critical thinking and all that

loud nymph
#

I think a big part of it is these regressive and insular online communities who just reinforce their dumbass beliefs in a big feedback loop

dapper zealot
#

Also people missing the off the charts satire of warhammer

loud nymph
#

Instead of being confronted by the idea that their opinions are just misinformed or based on nothing, instead they reinforce it with each other

#

Thanks internet

meager hawk
#

there are some good anti-hate activist groups / websites that have really good pages on why / how hate spreads and how to combat it etc and its been useful in understanding but man it sure feels bleak sometimes

dapper zealot
#

ngl I thought Dr Who became much more on the nose about the messages, but after rewatching old series, it's slapped into your face

loud nymph
#

yeah like, with respect to Trek I was referencing the "guys with the half black/half white faces" episode

#

which even if you have not seen the episode ("Let That Be Your Last Battlefield")

#

you at least know the image

#

it is not subtle at all especially for something that aired in fucking 1969

zealous meteor
#

star trek has always been woke

loud nymph
#

literally always

finite plank
#

decided to do a monday reclear, pepega ensued and strangely something else occured later but irrelevant

#

did the thing

dapper zealot
#

call me anti woke but the other annoying half of shitter is the terminally online kids who get disproportionately offended at the slightest edgy joke and think you're hitler 2.0

amber fable
#

These mf wont survive real life

dapper zealot
#

like as much as I hate to say rightoids are correct, people are getting too sensitive now

zealous meteor
#

i mean

#

that's a very small minority

#

and i don't think that's at all comparable to the people who use a slur every other sentence

loud nymph
#

yeah, you see that parroted by people a lot but generally it's people cherry picking and amplifying like two people and blowing it up to seem like it's a widespread problem

amber fable
#

Ragebaiting is too prevalent

#

Now

#

Not the memekind either

#

Good thing we arent making as many kids anymore..humanity needs to shrink back

zealous meteor
#

outside like, discord servers full of Actual Children, i can count the amount of times i've seen someone get offended over edgy jokes on one paw

dapper zealot
#

It certainly isn't some widespread issue, but it's definitely more than just 2 people

#

really the bigger issue that feeds into is the infighting we get

amber fable
#

Tower of babil caused this /s

finite plank
#

my sub ends today and i assume rhapsody is in limsa

Everyone thinks that they're the rebels in star wars, no matter what. So on and so forth.

loud nymph
#

there's a large contingent of Trek fans who watch it only for shiny lasers go pew pew and missed like, everything else about it

lost sinew
#

Mhm

#

That's just how people are

loud nymph
#

it's why the writers made Gul Dukat go so far off the deep end towards the end of DS9

#

because they realized they had accidentally made their main villain too likeable

did it end already

we could be mid pull in fru and I'd say tell me about a time when you disagreed with your static leader

rapid whale
#

is double static rly that common

torn mesa
#

not at all

craggy marsh
#

For ult I've known people to do it

amber fable
#

Some people have multiple

torn mesa
#

at the very least, not during the initial phase of content

amber fable
#

But its probably not common

stray forge
#

I barely even have the mental capacity and time to keep up with 1 static

torn mesa
#

you have to wonder

#

why someone would want to apply to 2 statics

stray forge
#

I guess I can see it if ffxiv is your only hobby

amber fable
#

Time period or different content

torn mesa
#

and what response they can give that wouldn't come across in some way as "I'm 1 foot out the door"

amber fable
#

Doing x with 1 and y with 2

rapid whale
#

i know of like, main prog static and friend group 4fun static

torn mesa
#

see my point earlier of initial phase of content

slate spruce
#

Reading all this stuff about statics making me not even want one

amber fable
#

Static isnt bad

stray forge
#

Raiding just so time consuming

amber fable
#

Especially if you wanna do ult

thin tartan

I will say

rapid whale
amber fable

Pugging ult is dogshit experience

#

Savage is shit enough but bearable

stray forge
rapid whale
#

lmao true, the prog liars THEPROG LIARS

craggy marsh
#

But ya idk why people are so afraid of just saying "Sorry we want someone else"

torn mesa
#

I chalk it up to being too lazy to respond

#

more than conflict avoidance

slate spruce
# rapid whale the pf mines are always open

I want a team that will make things easy tho and a set group will do that atleast for my brain and it’s also my 1st time considering taking atleast the savages somewhat serious

stray forge
#

They want to keep you as a backup if someone else says they found another static

#

So they just don’t answer

amber fable
#

Supply is way too much here then I guess

stray forge
#

Then when someone is actually locked in it’s just laziness

torn mesa
#

I mean, the backup part is expected

#

and goes both ways

rapid whale
amber fable
#

Mindset

#

Of players

#

Probably

craggy marsh
amber fable
#

Not that tryhard or sweaty

slate spruce
amber fable
#

Thats just repetitions

#

Even with pug that becomes autopilot eventually

#

It depends on what strat you use basically

rapid whale
#

yea like reclears, in theory, should be smooth

torn mesa
#

The 2 advantages of a static over a PF for most players:

  • Can't prog lie.
  • Don't have to wait to fill.

Sounds like a issue

Because if they were, they'd be removed.

stray forge
#

There was one day

#

Where a member

#

Delayed raid by 40 minutes while literally being in VC because he was in a WoW dungeon

amber fable
#

You can have emergency once in a while but emergency every raid day

craggy marsh
rapid whale
amber fable
#

Sounds like avoidance

stray forge
#

I almost threw my screen out the window

amber fable
#

Just boot bro

rapid whale
torn mesa
#

I'd just leave.

craggy marsh
#

Had this one guy who would always be 5-10 mins late on most days and the static lead would say "It's fine"

loud nymph
#

when I was in a casual FC static for FRU our raid once got delayed by 30 minutes because the BRD bailed out of a dungeon run right before the start time

#

needless to say

slate spruce
#

Ight imma keep trying to find or start a static have fun being good at the game guys

loud nymph
#

I am no longer with that group

torn mesa
#

Like it really doesn't matter if you're a casual or a hardcore group.

rapid whale
#

respect for 7 other people's time is important, another instance of that is ppl who absolutely refuse to study out of instance/static hours

torn mesa
#

People being late all the time and/or random no-shows

craggy marsh
# torn mesa I'd just leave.

This was when I was still getting the hang of raiding so I didn't know what was what. But now ye id leave a group if someone did that

torn mesa
#

is an instant kick

craggy marsh
#

Ye i didn't really know what was expected during that time

torn mesa
#

my first static in FFXIV, I cleared the tier in PF like 6 weeks before we cleared as a static

#

I had no issues with the group until 1 night, 1 person opted to rage quit over a wipe they caused

rapid whale
#

classic

torn mesa
#

I've always had 0 tolerance for that BS

rapid whale
#

i wonder what the psychology over rage quitting is like tho

#

ig it reaches a point that the activity provides more anger than enjoyment

torn mesa
#

I mean, you'd be lying if you said you never rage quit anything

#

the difference is when you rage quitting essentially says fuck you to 7 other people

craggy marsh
#

Every static ive had for DT has had 1 person always crashout so im begging for my current UMAD one to be normal for once

torn mesa
#

I mean, I feel like it's not that deep

#

It's just people with extremely poor control of their emotions no?

rapid whale
craggy marsh
rapid whale
#

i queso

slate spruce
#

I just want a normal static for normal savages does anyone have Non-horror stories

torn mesa
#

Every static I've been in I'd consider normal

stray forge
#

im in a normal static

#

they are just turbo casual

rapid whale
stray forge
#

and advertised as such

craggy marsh
torn mesa
#

There's been cases where we had to remove a member or 2

slate spruce
#

What’s turbo casual

torn mesa
#

but like it takes a lot to fall out of the realm of normal

craggy marsh
#

People's inability to talk things out like adults is fascinating

stray forge
#

we cancel raid days for irl stuff a lot

craggy marsh
#

Someone will be in their late 30s and they still avoid talking things out

thin tartan
torn mesa
#

That's not really a matter of age Mango

Some people are just more conflict avoidant

amber fable
# slate spruce What’s turbo casual

Man the terminologies and differences between casual and hardcore isnt some super defined thing...its literally is how you approach something in your head

#

Casual will approach thing very casually aka not commital to it

#

Like doing a content and clearing it eventuallyTM

#

Hardcore will wanna clear it asap

#

And ofc how you play will reflect that mentality too

slate spruce

I was asking about turbo casual cause Chiz said something about it I know the difference between hardcore and casual 😂 sorry

atlAddleatrs you

raven prawn
#

soooo how do i augment 780 tome gear to 790? and also how do i get thundersteeping glaze?

loud nymph
#

?

#

oh nvm I can't read

normal summit
#

You need to clear each of the dawntrail alliance raids once

loud nymph
#

you can buy the augment items for alliance raid coins / nuts

normal summit
#

Then trade the coins in at solution 9

loud nymph
#

and there's an npc in s9 who has an option for bygone brass gear augmentation

normal summit
#

Or do lots of hunt trains for nuts

raven prawn
#

so i get it from running light heavyweight m then

loud nymph
#

no

normal summit
#

That’s a normal raid

loud nymph
#

light-heavyweight is two tiers out of date

normal summit
#

Alliance raids are Jeuno, windurst, etc

loud nymph
#

if you're trying to augment bygone brass, LHW will do fuck all

raven prawn
loud nymph
#

no

#

are you reading

raven prawn
#

yes

loud nymph
#

I just told you how to get them

normal summit
#

Each week you clear windurst, the new alliance raid.

raven prawn
#

i thought light heavyweight was that?

loud nymph
#

???

#

no

raven prawn
#

theres another raid i need to find!

loud nymph
#

light heavyweight is normal raids from 2 years ago

#

alliance raid is the 24 player stuff

normal summit
#

Alliance raids are 24 man raids

raven prawn
#

so where do i find this one?

normal summit
#

They will be much easier than savage

#

Tuliyollal (X:13.0, Y:11.6)

#

You're unlocking the Echoes of Vanadiel quests.

#

Have you unlocked Jeuno yet?

#

it's a 24-man raid

tall field
#

Yea its a chain

raven prawn
#

didnt even know this existed till now, i have barely touched any blue side quests

tall field
#

Start with this

#

Since

#

It gives
.coins

#

Those coins you can exchange for gear upgrade items

#

When u finish all 3 atleast once

loud nymph
#

keep in mind, you need the coins from all three alliance raids to buy a single bygone brass augment

normal summit
#

The way it works.

On even patches (x.0, x.2, x.4), you can only upgrade your tome gear by clearing savage.

On odd patches (x.1, x.3, x.5), the upgrade items became available to buy using a currency called sacks of nuts, which you can farm by doing hunt trains, or by clearing the new alliance raid to get a coin, which also can be used to purchase 1 upgrade

loud nymph
#

and the windurst (3rd raid) coins are locked weekly

#

so you can only get one per week, which means only one upgrade from coins per week

#

if you want more, then you have to farm hunt trains in SHB/EW/DT for nuts

#

or do m10s (accessory upgrade) or m11s (armor and weapon upgrade)

tall field
#

Many pfs are doing that these days

normal summit

#

We tried tank 2 1 healer

I think constantly being able to disrespect mechanics is fine but rolling permutations when you could just do it 1 time right is stupid

scarlet lintel
#

when is the ulti. next week?

normal summit
#

Not sure how people do P4S these days, but for the initial tether mechanic, we solved it in 7.1 by having everyone stack up south, and then having whoever ended up with the anti-virus debuff walking forward to take tethers. You just completely ignore all of the bloodrake stuff.

loud nymph
tall field
#

P4S is
Just do act 1 or skip 1 if all dps

#

P1 just yolo the entire thing

#

P8S is yolo p1 (you can yolo snake 1) and p2 is where the wipes begin

sick reef
#

whats all the content we are getting next week? ulti and cosmic?

tall field
#

That's what i saw

normal summit
#

NA was always the hardest part of P8S, so I'm not surprised

loud nymph
#

ulti and cosmic plus new custom delivery npc iirc

sick reef
#

ah i see tyvm

tall field
#

Its fire ice part of NA

#

The stack spread we can do

loud nymph
tall field
#

Fire ice is where it all falls apart

zealous meteor
normal summit
#

My guess is people just don't understand well how NA baits work.

raven prawn
#

i get this is basically a story game, but why is all the endgame stuff locked behind random quests?

loud nymph
valid solar
#

there are plenty of people who only play the story and dont touch anything else

Blue quests are the clue that there's something significant unlocked by the quest.

You didnt in swtor from what i remember? also i really dont care if its a good story, i just want to do the raid and get the gear lol

if you're that bored by story content, I have to ask, why are you playing this game

idk skipping to raids isnt inherently a bad thing but damn do most people who try it end up blowing ass

spent hundreds of dollars on boosts

only to get angry when people told him he didn't know shit

raven prawn

He boosted then greyed so hard m9s wasn't clearable

jolly flume
#

playing the story doesn't make you much of a better player I'm afraid

sinful brook
#

And got mad when we told him how to get better

jolly flume
#

it just gives you more time to be exposed to the fundamentals

loud nymph
#

didn't he also try to report someone for calling him a shitter in pf

jolly flume

but being exposed isn't enough, you still have to actually execute on them

valid solar

is the tenacity guy still around

loud nymph

after he objectively was a shitter

In his defense they probably shouldn't have told him that the way they did

Learning your rotation properly and other combat basics will have a bigger impact, if you're looking to do high-end content.

impossible to get a decent parse without a 6:30 and crit because of the sheer number of kills on it

I Crit hared enough for a high purple on p1

jolly flume

-3% is not like the end of the world but it should be fixed

But I lb3ed because my sam hates me

jolly flume
#

p1 is still just cringe to even pull high purple on if the circumstances aren't in your favor though

sinful brook

P1 is full uptime tho

Getting near 100 is pretty doable for all jobs besides maybe casters eating shit to ping and stuff

Oh ig if you're bungo and in a different plane of existence

stray forge
#

Bungo is one of those lalafells under the map

jolly flume
#

my uptime on p1 is always like 99.x% because I don't mash fast enough to get my first gcd out on the boss instantly after act 3 🥀

#

can't queue the gcd on untargetable boss

sinful brook
#

Yeah same

#

Half the time I'm too far away on drg

#

And gcd alignment didn't give me a holdable enhanced piercing talon

#

the last time i cleared 12p1 i got around a high blue with 6:40-45 kt and looked at the log to see my queen crit was

#

12%

sinful brook
#

The diagonals are the worst because if you mash gap closer you die

jolly flume
#

I was watching the dudes in my group swing between blue and orange doing the exact same rotation on every pull with like 6:29-6:32

#

never been so happy to be a healer

sinful brook
#

Awful

it's awful yeah

sinful brook
#

Healers have it easy tho because the baseline is lower

# sullen minnow Anything u want me to prepare for it? <:innocent:1481031152578986207>

Just watch the guide on whichever fight or 3 you want (ex1 and 2 will be very quick even fresh if lucky if those are the plan, 3 I haven’t pfed much to comment on, 4 forward is probably in the it’ll take a day to clear in current pf deal)

make sure to have food and pots if you can afford it, otherwise I can pick some up.

Nothing super intensive though, the mechanics aren’t worth spending 2 hours on bc if you want farm for mounts it’ll take longer to study than it’ll take to learn by doing for any fights.

#

If you’re after a specific mount first then study that one and it will be good motivation

# wicked delta Inventory space?!??????

somewhat normal as eso has subscription for inventory space that's important for crafters, it is doable without a sub and you can hoard everything when a 3 day free sub shows up once in a while

valid solar
# wicked delta Oh HELL nah

and you use bags of holding to increase inventory space, which the game does give you a decent amount of +10 bags, the only way to get more bag slots than 5 is by ponying up

like TEA honestly doesnt have that many mechanics

# flat axle Is ifrit the hardest part of the raid?

It's not, but skipping dashes means you skip the one part that had some minor difficulty to it: Killing the nails in a specific order and the movement during dashes
When you skip all that it's basically even more of a targeting dummy than it already kinda is
