[glossy cape]

same as everything else

iirc most of htem are like 90s

and some are 60s

either way

be aware of what your enemy can do

and not attacking isn't even that weird

You never just sit back waiting for your team to respawn so you can push?

[sullen mist]

its not so much not attacking

it's more switching targets

[silk rune]

Then all you really need to be looking for is Chiten and making sure you're not afflicted with Kuzushi

If you do have Kuzushi, you need to disengage

And run

[boreal prawn]

duly noted

[glossy cape]

there's also the obvious bait

like having a sam just rush into a 1v5

like, they're obviously fishing for kuzushi

so you just ait for it to wear off and hten go ham

it's a 30s cd anyways

[boreal prawn]

there's so much shit going on half the time (at least in my brain) that sometimes i forget to look for these things and just go

[glossy cape]

i got hte party list to the left of my char

[boreal prawn]

oo oo a a engage damage mode

[glossy cape]

so i can quickly peek entire enemy team's debuffs

[somber breach]

At least I can be edgy when I nerd rage.

[silk rune]

Don't rage just vibe

[somber breach]

Na

Fuck that

[silk rune]

[versed lily]

im like 2 games away from the armour, gieff now plz

[somber breach]

This is bs

People who suck and have less wins are in Gold

[silk rune]

I'm having trouble climbing out of Bronze myself lol

[somber breach]

I'm just farming Casual now

[silk rune]

But it's good, I'm learning how to use the Quick Chat more

[somber breach]

People in Silver give me a headache

[deft oriole]

so far in gold people are worse for me

[somber breach]

Oh I've had gold on my team

Go

0/4 or 0/5

And I'm still wondering why I can't get past silver but they can

[sullen mist]

teammate rng

[silk rune]

They got carried lol

[solid sundial]

is there anywhere one can find out how much series exp one has in total? or how much is required per level? finally got out of bronze hell after 3 days and want to find out my W/L ratio

[glossy cape]

oh yeah, that's a good way to find it out if you capped achievements

it's on the pvp profile

series malmstones and top right

[versed lily]

on ur pvp profile u can see the exp needed and current exp

25-26 takes 10k exp

[solid sundial]

oh I am aware but sadly that's only the current exp needed for the next series level. I'm level 16 with 2800/5000 but I don't know the exp needed for the levels before :/

[versed lily]

ye im not sure, the low levels went really fast

[solid sundial]

you get 900 for a win and 750 for a loss, I got 28800 total through wins but not sure about how much from the losses, given that I went from bronze 1 3* to bronze 3 0* within an hour yesterday

definitely weird given that regular pvp rank exp has a sum total listed

[vague crater]

Any GNB players here?

[carmine latch]

Anything interesting to spend trophy crystals on beside class set recolours, barding and a minion?

[vague crater]

hellhound weapons

[solid sundial]

you can convert 1k into 1 wolf collar each and buy the wolf collar wapons

some of them look really nice

[vague crater]

you can also buy the class specific poses

[versed lily]

the wolf weps are so expensive 😭

guna probs buy the samurai one cus it looks so good with the pvp set

[solid sundial]

almost all of them look amazing, that's the problem. requires a lot of CC farming if you want them all and didn't do ranked pvp for collars before

it's, what, 190k crystal currency?

[somber breach]

https://tenor.com/view/sigh-exhale-deep-breathing-stressed-cant-even-gif-14818147

[versed lily]

@solid sundial 10k crystals per wep

[solid sundial]

so 190k for all jobs

[versed lily]

this whm nerf cant come soon enough

[crude heron]

Is their lb the transformation thing

It comes up so fucking often

[versed lily]

they are also bugged and can infinitly spam cure 2

[solid sundial]

WAR is also ridiculous

[crude heron]

I am locked out of pvp I can't do anymore

[crude heron]

If I go into ranked I'll get shit on

[vocal hound]

bruh

[solid sundial]

all the three other tanks just pale compared to WAR

[crude heron]

If I go into casual it's like watching toddlers play

I saw a Ninja, no joke, run inti the entire team. Just sprint right in there.

Empty head no thoughts

[silk rune]

WAR go unga bunga sure, but DRK pretty nasty too

PLD got some confusing tooltips and GNB has too much utility and not enough offense imo

[solid sundial]

yeah but a war has just such huge control

[crude heron]

Primal Rend being on such a short cd is pretty ridiculous

[solid sundial]

exactly

[versed lily]

sch is so troll

heals for hardly anything

their green icon should be revoked in cc

[vague crater]

I know these people have played league / OW before

trying to get people to focus one person in the backline is a joke

people targetting tanks meanwhile the nemy mch is bursting everyone down from their back

[versed lily]

anyone elses pvp profile keep resetting to default when they switch between jobs

the like profile pic i mean

[vague crater]

ye

you have to set it to instant

each time

my question is why is 0 stars a demotion and 3 stars isnt a promotion

[solid sundial]

because

[queen gyro]

We need a Crystal Conflict equivalent of this

[lapis mauve]

loool this really is ow era salt

Ill make it later if no one does

[lucid nest]

Stun spam needs to be obliterated

[terse raven]

is pvp fun?

never played it

[crude heron]

It's fun and engaging

[fathom shard]

im almost done losing, almost to 25 😄

[glossy cape]

Sounds like someone got outplayed and wasted their purify earlier

[fathom shard]

i am outplay

[swift reef]

does sch have an ability that shields but does not allow me to use my own shield

[crude heron]

Purify needs a buff

[silk rune]

You're asking if a Shield for SCH exists without using Adlo? Or are you asking about Guard?

[crude heron]

And by buff I mean it need to activate when I press the button and not 2 seconds after

[swift reef]

sorry i was not specific, i had some kind of partial hexagon shield on and could not use Guard when i needed to

[fathom shard]

inova, i work for you

boss

[swift reef]

had a sch in group so i presumed it was a sch ability that prevented it

whaaa

[fathom shard]

🤝

[swift reef]

ill take it

[fringe tiger]

junk rat
above average player

[sudden crest]

ofc In my one chance to go to gold I get idiots who do not focus down the rdm who focused me the entire match

[sudden crest]

so whm polymorph + samurai LB has weird interactions and by that I mean

you don't dash to kill anyone the target just fucking dies

so I lost a 5 kill because of that

[versed lily]

i feel like sam lb is so inconsistant, like i go into a fight and know for a fact ive been hit with my defensive up, and it doesnt instakill anyone

[sudden crest]

look for the debuff

[versed lily]

is cactbot guna let us put debuffs above players hp bars

cus id rather have the debuff on the bar themselves than the unit frame#

or having to target them

[sudden crest]

its literally on the side lol

can shields block samurai LB???

[versed lily]

ye, im just set in my ways from years of having debuffs above peoples head in wow

i actually dont know, should really try some stuff like that in duels

[terse tangle]

Yo any tips for a scrub SAM to get out of silver?

[versed lily]

you got ur stun and 2 burst buttons in a place where u can easily see their cd? cus they line up

[glossy cape]

Chitenguard bait a 5man LB

[sudden crest]

sharlayan, try to dive from backside of enemy team at the start of match against like a mch/brd/smn

wind map, idfk just do what everyone else does lol

[terse tangle]

ive landed 4man Zantentsukens, it feels so good lmao

but like 1/10 times

[sudden crest]

got a 5 man once, felt so powerful

[versed lily]

ye when ur team wipes and ur the only one up to boop ppl , tis a god feeling

[glossy cape]

Cleaned a match up once

[vocal hound]

i finally got top as mnk for the first time

[glossy cape]

Got a triple
Team swooped in for the other 2

[versed lily]

work on weaving ur dash to upgrade ur abilities, try fight more in the big battles cus u do alot of aoe

[terse tangle]

I try to save it for this.

but then everyone focuses me with their binds/stuns, etc

so I just get fucked

[glossy cape]

Use meikyo

[glossy cape]

3s but still

[terse tangle]

oh wow

[glossy cape]

3specially powerful when used after purify

[versed lily]

is that 3 seconds of cant be cc'd

[glossy cape]

For that juicy 8s total

Yes

[terse tangle]

I didnt know that was also a buff

[glossy cape]

Lmao

Reading

Try it

It's amazing

[terse tangle]

thought it was just for weaving Midare

[versed lily]

some of it isnt very clear tbh

[glossy cape]

3s of no cc
10s of being able to midare

[versed lily]

especially when ur buffs arent in your job abilities to read, u have to press the ability ona dummy and read the buff on you

[terse tangle]

I did read then all, but that part sisnt stick in my brain

just "use this for midare"

[versed lily]

the 2nd part of the big aoe button is instant cast so try move to line it upo

[glossy cape]

I started to use it purely for the CC block

Also

You can kinda cheese ogi to have a triple ogi

[terse tangle]

so for example, at the start of the match

[versed lily]

i always just dash in, press meikyo, then stun , then single target or the aoe button first depending on how many ppl are infront of me, if u start casting that big single target hit even if they run away it still hits them

[glossy cape]

Cause the midare cast got long range

[terse tangle]

should I jump at the center where everyones at and start aimlessly popping Aoes?

[glossy cape]

Nah

[versed lily]

sit back and wait a second, whoever dives in first go on them, u can drop ppl pretty fast

[glossy cape]

Always have a way out planned

Also work on ogi aiming

[versed lily]

warrior arent as tanky as u would think, once their guard is gone they can just die

and they usually dive in first

[glossy cape]

Cause being able to hit 1 target in a group with ogi is powerful shit

[terse tangle]

but then should I pop my cooldowns at the very beggining, once someone charges towards our group?

[versed lily]

biggest thing would be work on your guard/healing and running away, know if u have guard up and only 5k mana its ok to back off a bit

[terse tangle]

or should I save the stun and Midare for when someones low?

[versed lily]

i use on cd pretty much, at high plat everyone started waiting before going into the crystal

usually a warrior would engage or a dragoon

[glossy cape]

Yeah, you wanna wait for crystal to open first

Any engagement before that is throwing

[crude heron]

Nah

Sometimes they'll immediately engage and surprise you

[glossy cape]

If they push past crystal

[crude heron]

Just the entire team jumps in

[glossy cape]

That's a death wish

[versed lily]

ye it can work, but as sam u dont wana be first in cus u dont have a retreat button

[crude heron]

They'll burst down one person and retreat

[versed lily]

dragoon is good for this cus of the leap back

as sam id say just wait for warrior to engage, and then hop into the deathball, pop ur meikyo , stun and the big aoe button for shield

[glossy cape]

Chitenguard is nasty

Double ogi into chitenguard

I love me some "fuck all damage" with a side off "fuck off counter"

[versed lily]

honestly i can see them buffing sam dmg

[glossy cape]

Nah

[versed lily]

dragoon and rdm can both burst like 70k dmg

and they hav eno hard cast to do it

[glossy cape]

Actually wait

Well I just ran into a group of cheaters

We were 1 inch from capturing the final point all of a sudden we get one shot back to back 10 times out of nowhere and they bring the point all the way from the there and go to ours

The warrior scorpion pulled us 10 times in a row

And then everybody just kept getting one shot

[vocal hound]

what?

do you have replay?

[lucid nest]

No

It's on casual so

Not like anything can be done about it

I'm just flabbergasted that they pulled out of their ass out of nowhere

[glossy cape]

uh

buddy

if they're cheating

they're cheating

which mode they're cheating in doesn't matter

they're still cheating

And honestly
I find it hard to believe

Something just tells me you didn't see a key ability on their side and got absolutely railed

Mnk pvp tips?

[vocal hound]

know how to align your burst

is my biggest thing that helped me

[calm raft]

How the heck do I get out of bronze limbo??? Should I abandon ninja and play warrior or dragoon or something?

[vocal hound]

your gonna have an easier time but its def possible, its mostly about luck to get good teams or not but try to maximise your influence

[calm raft]

Yeah, the randomness got me wondering about different jobs. I’m only good at getting kills with ninja. I don’t do a lot of damage. Bronze just seems like hell lol

[unique glacier]

It's really not about luck

your second point is valid and super important though

don't play classes that really on your team

(SCH, PLD)

play something that is good at a lot of things

it is why white mage is so good right now

[vocal hound]

i mean yeah if your an average player your 50/50ing games, but try and get the best out of your class and you shifting the balance in your favor for sure

[unique glacier]

it's got agressiveness and heal

[vocal hound]

i play monk cause i enjoy it

but the diff between monk and drg is plain

monk have some super spicy burst tho

i like getting picks with it

[fringe tiger]

Yoooo I made it into top-10

They're there just to fuck with you so others can burst

[spiral brook]

And then one-shot you because they baited you and used their lb

[solid sundial]

just collected eight orbs on the volcano map and proceeded to oneshot the WHM from 100% to 0 with a 50k LB on MCH. I don't want to know what happens if you let a DRG collect them and they manage to pull off their LB

[spiral brook]

!pvpaction sky shatter

[surreal token]

**Sky Shatter** : DRG (1.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Powered by XIVAPI

[spiral brook]

wow thanks kupo

But strictly looking at potencies, MCH lb should hit higher than DRG. (36k vs 30k)

...Unless some jobs just benefit more from the lava orb buff

[solid sundial]

the difference is that DRG LB can hit potentially five targets for 30k each, plus the damage gained from the orbs, even though realistically the chance for hitting an entire team dead center is nigh zero

[lapis mauve]

Lmao Crystal rank is legit

Who has the better RDM

I beaten the 5th ranked Crystal like twice by having my team focus him

and he has won the same way like twice too crystal is too hyper imma gt a heart attack

salted earth into primal rend

[glossy cape]

Salted earth into any aoes

[stark grove]

primal rend stuns

more dot

more pog

[solid sundial]

yeah, DRK is nice and all but why go that mile if you can just have a WAR

[stark grove]

why not both

[solid sundial]

and that's the problem

WAR just dominates every other tank and it's the easiest to carry a match with WAR

[lapis mauve]

No WAR is legit such a detriment

They will literally hold point 1v4

Hopefully more players pick up WAR lol

[stark grove]

wdym

[lapis mauve]

If more players play WAR

more matches will have 2 WARS

If one team has a WAR and the other doesn't your basically fucked

[solid sundial]

there's already a WAR in every match what are you freaking on about

[lapis mauve]

Pretty much

But i lost 2 games today bcus of no WAR XD

Enemy team did have one

[stark grove]

we're just too strong, don't babyrage

[lapis mauve]

I'm not baby raging lol im saying i welcome even more of them

[solid sundial]

exactly. If the WAR is at least somewhat decent they will just choke hold someone or straight up the entire team

[lapis mauve]

WAR may be amazing

but they aren't my godly RDM

[patent gazelle]

I made it

[lapis mauve]

nicee

[patent gazelle]

Hi crystal mains

[solid sundial]

true, but comparing the tanks, none of the other three can even keep up with WAR in terms of usefulness

[patent gazelle]

[lapis mauve]

I just started playing after crystal

Im up 500 points

[patent gazelle]

Nice

Top 10 here we go

[lapis mauve]

Gl

Imma be real rankings aren't that crazy

With a bit of luck top 50 can be easy

[solid sundial]

luck is the biggest factor after all to get out of the low ranks

[patent gazelle]

I was in a bronze hardstuck mode for a while

[solid sundial]

same

[lapis mauve]

In Crystal biggest factor might best WAR

[patent gazelle]

Till i understood what i was meant to do

[lapis mauve]

Same was stuck a good 30 games

[patent gazelle]

When it finally clicked

I started climbing non stop

[solid sundial]

went up early to bronze 1 3* only to then drop to bronze 3 0* within an hour and didn't get out of bronze 3 for an entire day

1 win 1 loss 1 win 1 loss 1 win 1 loss etc

[lapis mauve]

This is the worst feeling

[solid sundial]

yep

[lapis mauve]

Feels like im stuck in a loop

[solid sundial]

me just being a MCH sniping the WHMs and RDM pumping 66k attacks on the SAMs and DRGs with wildfire drill and LB

[lapis mauve]

Imma be real i couldn't get out of Bronze with MCH

I had to switch to MNK

But don't take that as a tip lol

I just suck at it

[patent gazelle]

I played only ninja in my climb

[lapis mauve]

I did MNK bronze to platinum and RDM Plat to Crystal

[patent gazelle]

mnk looks fun

rdm too

with the white/black mode changes

[solid sundial]

testing RDM out right now in casual. definitely takes some getting used to

[solid sundial]

for me it had less to do with MCH as a whole but simply getting unlucky. when the people ignore the DRG or the WHM in particular and keep attacking the random SAM or NIN in africa instead of staying on the crystal

then you knock out the focus target and the group attacks the tank

[low rover]

DNC are DRG new best friend got 8 kills in one on frontline thanks to DNC LB stacking guys up

[lapis mauve]

I was just about to say are dancers

an omen a loss is coming haha

But nvm just lost bcus healer was braindead

Just dropped 300 points

Got a 2 min queue and no match?? i'm taking that as a bad sign and going to sleep gg

[solid sundial]

gotta love it when the meme 5% insta kill happens on tanks

[versed lily]

I think the worst rn is getting two tanks and a healer on your team

the entire offensive pressure dies that moment

meanwhile the enemy team with 1 WAR and 4 DPS just rips apart the healer and your own 2 dps

[versed lily]

i think it depends, if its a war whm and drk thats still pretty good

seeing a whm on the other team is just suffering tho, you know people just suddenly have 30k more hp than they should have, and a non breakable polymorph

[dusty harness]

did they hot fix tomestone rewards?

or is there like a cooldown because just 5 mins ago it was only showing poetics

now it has them all

im dumb its because i was on a job that was not 90

[deft oriole]

Yeah was gonna say

[dusty harness]

i think ima go get a coffee

[lime fjord]

is pvp availble to free trial players?

[lapis mauve]

In the crystal leaderboard which score is put?
The one you currently have or your highest?

[subtle hornet]

No

[terse tangle]

ok so if the enemy team are all near the crystal, and their team composes of

WHM, PLD, RDM, SAM, BLM

what would be the ideal order of attack?

[solid sundial]

god, getting 2 tanks and a healer on my team has always been auto lose so far

[sterile ibex]

kind of expanding on this but generalizing
what would be the general focus order of everything if that isnt too hard to answer?

[solid sundial]

probably WHM -> RDM

[patent gazelle]

Depending on what your job is

If i was playing normally as nin id go for rdm/whm

Actually blm before rdm

[sterile ibex]

let's just say as like
mnk

[patent gazelle]

If you were mnk it depends if your team jumps in first or theirs

Id peel if they jump in first as mnk

Hit any melee trying to go for your ranged/casters

[solid sundial]

okay, executing with ninja is fun as heck when you can get a chain going

[terse tangle]

what im trying to do is coordinate otherwise scattered team mates, so I can try to get the team to focus on a single target

I play on very low rankings, so people tend to spread out too much and attack randomly

[patent gazelle]

Heh

In crystal i create chaos

[terse tangle]

so I try to put a marker/message to try to coordinate them

[patent gazelle]

I intentionally spread out people

Trying too hard to focus target isnt gonna go anywhere when your teammates dont notice it tbh

[terse tangle]

they do tend to notice and play along, some times

but im uncertain of my order is ideal

so that im actually helping rather than hindring us

[magic linden]

Only way to know if it's ideal is practice :L

[patent gazelle]

Always Caster/Ranged/Healer

Peel if you got jumped on first for most jobs

[terse tangle]

so what about tanks?

should they be last?

[magic linden]

Imo only tank worth focusing is warrior.

[patent gazelle]

all of them are worth focusing if low enough

Gnb is the squishiest though

[magic linden]

I mean anyone low enough is worth focusing lmao.

[patent gazelle]

Low mp too

Way too many things to consider

like this tank might have burned all of its cooldowns but the casters havent

Tank will die first in that example

[terse tangle]

do you have skill FX enabled for pvp?

I just disabled it cause it was blinding, but at the same time I cant really tell what anyone is casting most of the time

[patent gazelle]

Have it limited

Its important vs some jobs

Like a samurai doing its counter just means, dont attack em or get killed

[sweet oracle]

Pov, you accidentally use an aoe skill

[exotic kayak]

18 minute CC game.

Phew.

[sweet oracle]

Man

I wish mine lasted more than 3 minutes

I either get crushing victories, or people get swept

There is no in between in silver

[exotic kayak]

This was a casual match mind you.

I haven't even tiered yet due to losing so often.

[woeful cargo]

honestly probably Summoner/Caster/Ranged/Healer
summoner becomes a problem if allowed to unleash an LB (especially Phoenix), plus it has good crowd control
i haven't done much ranked pvp but this is from experience with CC (as a summoner)

[deft oriole]

My few plat games so far have all been hype

[exotic kayak]

I can't even get into bronze 😦

[graceful tulip]

trust me the matches dont get any better getting into bronze XD

[modest oak]

My gold games have been anything but hype

I think some people forgot to bind their LB

[glossy cape]

Ignore AST and sch

[patent gazelle]

nah

[glossy cape]

You jump sch, you get fucked cause you get hit with heal reduce cone

[patent gazelle]

make their life suffer.

miserable

[glossy cape]

AST is pepega anyways

Only sge and whm are actual threats

[patent gazelle]

i dont stop chasing someone

[kind dagger]

Does anyone know how much character exp you get for a crystalline conflict?

[terse tangle]

too much

I accidentally maxed out SAM with cc

[fallow rampart]

It's actually not a lot compared to dungeons imo

[patent gazelle]

Well CC games take way shorter than dungeons

[fallow rampart]

Maybe it scales better with level?

[patent gazelle]

And can be only like a min.

And the queues are so fast

Idk i think its pretty fast for what it does

[fallow rampart]

Tried doing it to train up a 30, but you only get like 1/8 a level per game if that

Meanwhile dungeons give me like two and a half levels per run

[vocal hound]

At higher lvl its worth it

[austere jasper]

Getting stunned while inside my DRG LB and LB gets consumed, thats always nice

[solid sundial]

getting stunned by WAR's Primal Rend, then a WHM LB and then RDM Resolution silence felt as if 100 years passed

[silk rune]

Where's your Purify bro

[solid sundial]

in the dumpster when the WHM's LB hit before the effect started

[versed lily]

all my games from plat-crystal felt the same pretty much, almost every game had a whm, if not every game

80% of my games had a war and a rdm mirror to match

[fringe tiger]

Envy the suffering I partake in at higher ranks

But no seriously, crystal tier is kind of meh

[versed lily]

i dunno how much i care about crystal rating

i dont think ill be pushing for top 10 or 1

time to level some alts for the luls tho now i think

wana try dancer and monk

[magic linden]

You can still get killed by samurai's ult during your LB too. Fun times.

[brazen otter]

Dumb question, can you derank to gold from platinium?

[magic linden]

No

Once you hit a rank you only go from 1-5 within that rank

[brazen otter]

😮

I love this game

[versed lily]

i heard early ppl abused it by getting x5 then going on a big loss streak, to then go on a winstreak to the next bracket

would not reccomend tho lol

[brazen otter]

what's the point of doing so xD, they only reward frame and crystal point for higher rank

maybe some like to flex

[versed lily]

there will always be ppl who abuse status stuff liek rank

[fallow rampart]

Re: exp, 25k/95k at level 34 for a frontline win

[versed lily]

look at me i got gladiator in wow, cough i totally didnt buy a pilot/boost from 3 rank 1 players

[exotic kayak]

Just got five kills in rapid succession with Bahamut.

[fallow rampart]

nah man, all about that phoenix

(I adore that sum gets two LBS)

[versed lily]

what was it the phoenix does again

is it like rdm where it turns half of its dmg to healing

[fallow rampart]

Less damage, but lots of aoe heal

4k pot HOT for 15s, with a 12k* proc if anyone gets low

[versed lily]

that is pretty neat

[fallow rampart]

also it's auto is a 50% damage debuf

Then finally, it's active is a big dot instead of a nuke

[exotic kayak]

Phoenix is for wars of attrition during Overtime IIRC.

Bahamut is general-use carnage.

[fallow rampart]

And just in general if there's a big brawl and your dudes are more hurt than theirs

I see bahamut as win more, phoenix as turn the tide

[magic linden]

I'm glad I'm not the only one that's used Phoenix. Like I felt I was doing something wrong but I was winning so like lol

But not winning enough. I want Crystal already :WeirdDude:

[versed lily]

keep the grind up, and dont forget the hp pots ont he floor, 30k instant heal is so broken if u can stall to it

[magic linden]

Lol it sucks because I have almost 200 wins but I can never get them in succession otherwise I'd have been Crystal long ago

[queen gyro]

Am I supposed to just not be in control of which tool I want to use as MCH

Am I just stuck to this very specific and readable order?

[spiral brook]

Yes you’re stuck to the order of the combo

[queen gyro]

Maybe all classes have a version of this

I’d love to be able to bioblaster a whole team into an oncoming hazard

[versed lily]

nah alot of other classes are kind of free to press what they want

blm is kind of locked in cus u need to put a dot on ppl, make it 3 stack then proc it

[lone jay]

Any tips for getting out of bronze hell?

The team quality shift in this rank is beyond wild, to the point Idk what is even being done right or wrong

[sinful tundra]

Win

Pray for good team mates until u reach crystal

[lone jay]

My rmg bad then

Already on a 15+ Lose streak

[sinful tundra]

[lone jay]

Yeah, actually wild

[sinful bone]

yeah, Im not gonna get out of bronze

best streak got me to bronze 1

then I started losing

[hollow thicket]

I went from 15+ lose streak or so to win streak up to next tier on silver -> gold

just keep trying

im seeing less WAR + WHM teams today

[sinful bone]

Im playing WHM but thats just because its my main

but what I have gathered, it seems to be pretty strong

[fringe tiger]

I got 2 comms from this:

[fallow rampart]

My first pvp as paladin was in Frontline. 1.2 million damage taken

Second place was a dragoon, natually

[queen gyro]

how do you even deal with warriors

[dark perch]

Do we know if they are gonna adjust frontlines in anyway?

[terse tangle]

I dont think I can get past Silver, ever

[silk rune]

https://tenor.com/view/we-just-dont-know-yet-howards-wenke-being-the-ricardos-were-not-sure-yet-its-still-undetermined-gif-24211984

[terse tangle]

ive lost like 10 times in a row as a Silver 3. Almost always get the lowest damage dealt out of the team

[dark perch]

Welp.. I hope so, the new combat is great but frontlines is such a mess, especially if your going for wins, it defo needs adjusting or just make it a 1v1 not a 1v1v1. Something needs to happen... oh well. Just gotta hope I guess.

[formal hill]

yea ive felt like ive lost so much agency in frontlines now

[fringe tiger]

Guys I broke 3k:

I also fucking hate the objective

4 whole seconds on the objective

I'm +3k crystal

fight me

[somber breach]

One more win will be a streak too.

[fringe tiger]

Join me in crystal

[somber breach]

I'm trying

This is the highest in silver I've been

I'm so close to silver 1

Then Gold

I also hit 100 wins on CC. Wooo

[fading timber]

How are you guys getting the time to push to crystal

[patent gazelle]

you shouldnt really stay on crystal as caster

[fading timber]

I got day job + relic weapon + entirety of EW to do

[dark perch]

For sure... like I want to get the 100 win achivment but its so impossible with the map layout of seal rock and the design of the RNG of battle high and also of how the nodes spawn... most of the time they spawn in the W side of the map or E.. so its so rough

[versed lily]

ye my redmage times on crystal are pretty low, u go in burst, step back

if ppl wana kil you they have to go out of position to chase

[queen gyro]

pretty annoying watching the tank chase the bard deep into their side leaving the crystal tankless

[viscid reef]

tanks are the designated crystal pushers?

can I do nothing but camp at the crystal

[somber breach]

This is it.

[vocal hound]

i got past the silver nightmare

you can too

meet me in gold nightmare

[somber breach]

nope

these fuckwads ruined my streak

[silk rune]

F

I personally lost my SIlver promote due to router issues

got me seething, stopped playing lol

[upbeat matrix]

really dont get how purify works? it seems so uninteractive if i click it and 2 seconds after I can still get perma ccd into 100-0 idk if im missing something

[silk rune]

if you use Purify and it removes a status effect it can remove, you get a buff that prevents any further CC for 5 seconds

if you use it too late, you don't get the buff

[upbeat matrix]

yea it just doesnt feel like it works more than half the time

[silk rune]

some statuses can't be removed

like Seduce, Hysteria and Miracle

[upbeat matrix]

i dont think its too late bc it removes my current cc and i see the buff but i still get ccd a bit after just removing whatever was on me

idk if theres a bug or some coding issue with the timing?

[silk rune]

it could be a latency issue, can't say for certain

[upbeat matrix]

hmm could be...

seems like some others are feeling the timing issues too on forums

apparently similar issue to superbolide when it launched

[spiral brook]

Yeah purify feels unreliable sometimes

[lapis mauve]

Insanity

Congrats

[candid bane]

I cant get past Silver 3 ._.

[fringe tiger]

Should I try and break 4k?

[candid bane]

I feel like Aether PVP is cursed

[fringe tiger]

PvP is cursed all the way up to crystal

[candid bane]

idk why I cant even get past silver 3 honestly. I am trying to hold the objective and I can't break out of stuns when all 5 target me

[fringe tiger]

Nvm

Forced loss because bad team mates

love it

[candid bane]

this game needs to stop pairing me with people who dont have ranks -_-

[pure dew]

Get to gold and you wont run into them >:D

[candid bane]

I can't

I've been stuck at Silver 3 for 5 hours straight

[pure dew]

I breezed through Silver but I'm using Sam so i had a lot more chance to dictate the battles

I basically just marked the whm and just went ham without caring about if they are gonna help or not

[candid bane]

I play WHM

[pure dew]

how much dmg does your lb do?

[candid bane]

idk. I havent really checked in matches

[pure dew]

Can we party up in CC?

[wispy thistle]

Only in custom match, which requires a full party for both sides to queue together. Casual and ranked are solo queue only atm.

[lapis mauve]

Dude you can achieve #1

Tfw peaked 500 xdd i mean i only lost 200 but i think that's enough pvp for this season lol

[pure dew]

Ah that sucks

[candid bane]

I dont even want to get to top 3 atm. But this Silver 3 is just not motivating where people dont care to focus on lowest HP enemies. they are all over the place.

I even LB to make sure they are going to be attacked, but no. everyone's in the back or away from crystal to 1v1

[fringe tiger]

BAHAHA

[candid bane]

what class

[pure dew]

Damn this ninja decimated my team lmao

[fringe tiger]

rdm

[fringe tiger]

Game keeps forcing me to lose

right before 4k

[candid bane]

I am finally gold 4

[echo burrow]

Just broke into Silver

Primal Rend is such a fun ability

[queen gyro]

Dragoons are simultaneously the most frustrating to play and the most hype shit ever

[echo burrow]

Watching my team not understand the dragoon LB from the safety of my guard bubble is a sad experience

Then they all get rekt

[acoustic thorn]

how many credit do you get/lose if you get a win/lose in crystal bracket?

[fringe tiger]

90-110

Amount varies

No idea what it's based off of

There are win-streaks as well

[acoustic thorn]

@fringe tiger👌 thanks

[fringe tiger]

It's honestly ridiculously easy to gain a lot of crystal points

[fallow notch]

is there any guide on the new pvp yet?

its fun but the outcome kinda random sometime and i wonder is it me doing something wrong

[silk rune]

The mode is simply push the crystal into the goal near the enemy team's base

use your skills to incapacitate the enemy to make it easier for your team to push the crystal to the goal

what specifically are you having issues with?

[fringe tiger]

Maybe how to use their abilities?

[echo burrow]

Yea, having a good understanding of your abilities and how to use them is the best. The other is to not chase someone to the other side of the map by yourself.

[wooden grove]

[fallow notch]

i main pld

what i do is use intervene then shield bash, sword oath,

basically put everything on cd

then heal myself to stay alive

[echo burrow]

Not sure how good Paladin is tbh.

[honest trellis]

Everything is valid in casual

[deft oriole]

PLD has their LB to stall the crystal for years

[weary inlet]

I stopped playing PvP for a bit

People STILL dont know that holding LBs till the end of time is a dogshit idea

[fresh terrace]

oh my god, why doesn't the game tell us about those chocobo markers?

this is a lifesaver tysm

[eternal spoke]

Beat 2 other teams in frontline with a score of 800:200:200 just because we have someone pinging non stop giving orders the miracle is people actually listens

[fresh terrace]

taking a minute to hotbar some team-rallying macros is very worthwhile, yeah

most people have no idea where to go in frontline, so consistently giving them directions makes them 3 times more effective lol

you don't even have to be that good at it

[dense cave]

Let me stop playing aaaa

[weary inlet]

So a game where you dont have a single melee DPS is just an auto loss?

WHM bug abusers

I hope they get permas

[dense cave]

PLD quite fun to play.

[eternal spoke]

it aint much but its honest work

[dense cave]

Oh true, love that, esp when you rush to other side and let our team push the crystal.

[fresh terrace]

https://tenor.com/view/stone-cold-steve-austin-wwe-pumped-hell-yeah-gif-12325054

[weary inlet]

When your SAM LBs literally nothing

[sweet oracle]

Welcome to hell

Gold is just oof

[sweet oracle]

Could be worse, you could die as a drg after activating the lb

[weary inlet]

Eh that would imply the DRG is actually using his LB in the first place though and not just sitting on it for the entire match

[sweet oracle]

I just suffer as a drg

Get blasted by 4 people at once and die

[weary inlet]

Just have a PLD that will cover oyu

[eternal spoke]

except for the fact that pld is non existent in pvp

[sweet oracle]

What is a paladin

I did a bunch of matches in gold 4 and dunno

I feel like I just get annhileted

[weary inlet]

You arent supposed to dive as a PLD you will just die

[sweet oracle]

I don't

[weary inlet]

Then "stop taking damage"

Aka the people's saying to counter NIN

[sweet oracle]

Georskul into jump into heaven thrust into backlip into dragon twinheads

The enemy survives anyway

[fresh terrace]

hoping this doesn't happen a lot in gold

[weary inlet]

died through hallowed ground

10/10

good game

actually lost a fucking game to that dogshit

Never fix your netcode SE

It's fun losing to your dogshit servers

[versed lily]

@sweet oracle try elusive jump before u start a fight, max range wyrmwind into geirskogul, into high jump , wheeling thrust , chaotic spring , nastrond

[sweet oracle]

I use geirskougl first to boost wyrmwind tbf

But yeah, It depends on the situation, I do either

[versed lily]

ye u can do that, i just find it awkward to throw ur + dmg and leap out cus u usually get ppl throw some cc at u

what i need to get used to is how character turning isnt instant, somtimes i leap diagonally somwhere stupid

[twin bloom]

litterally this, outplaying shitters and then a rando RDM dual caster hits you through six walls and through your guard coz spell batching and ping...

[fringe current]

Is whm viable in pvp to farm for Garo stuff?

[deft oriole]

absolutely

WHM is quite favoured in pvp atm

[timber iron]

relatable

[potent scaffold]

what does the Charm effect from DNC limit break do?

[deft oriole]

Makes them slowly move towards you, unable to act

[potent scaffold]

ah so a mix of draw-in and confusion

[stoic holly]

so im just here to bitch that you have to do a new hotbar just for PVP. I wanted to try crystalline conflict because i heard good things. then they add this pointless barrier of entry. so fuck it i guess i wont play pvp because you've made it a chore to even try.

[potent scaffold]

yeah, i wish it was handled like it used to be, where it'd just make a default hotbar rather than blanking out all your skills

[stoic holly]

thats the galling part. the skills are THERE ON THE BAR!!!!

i just cant click on it

[potent scaffold]

i think they're considered "new" skills, rather than edited versions of those

[stoic holly]

i queue into a match thinking hey this looks like fun, only to then stant thre not able to do anything besides hold my dick

[potent scaffold]

i also don't know if you can even edit those bars outside of an active PvP match or wolves den.

haha yeah the first time i dropped in i was like "oh god oh fuck my actions!!!"

[stoic holly]

its just bad design. you want ppl to be able to just jump in and play. This is like something Blizzard would do. Wanna play pvp? download 10 mods first and watch this hour long guide.

[fringe tiger]

This munch lunch guy on a grind

[potent scaffold]

i just chalk it up to the code still being a goddamn mess

different question: are there job gauges now or did they take those out of PvP

[queen gyro]

why are GNBs shit on in CC

do they not have any form of crowd control?

[deft oriole]

Gone from PvP

[potent scaffold]

good to know. was playing BLM and could not tell if there was no job gauge or it was covered up by UI

and does Frontline earn Series EXP or just CC

[deft oriole]

Frontline does too

[potent scaffold]

neato

ngl this is feeding that old Overwatch itch where i play ranked and get my ass stomped and yet i keep coming back for more

[queen gyro]

You could pick up a fighting game

when you lose in a fighting game at least you can see what wrong decision you made that led to it

but losses in team games can be out of your control

[potent scaffold]

yeah true.

i kind of only play FF14 and some select switch games nowadays tho

[vast crag]

Sf6 summer 2022!!

[stark grove]

Oh no you have to look at your 6 whole skills and put them on the bar before playing the game, how inhumane a trial 😐

[sweet fable]

does anyone know which tank is best for pvp? maybe one that doesnt rely on the team too much

[vast crag]

You need to rely on your team regardless lol

If one of your teammate dcd, you have less chance of winning

But probably WAR atm

[silk rune]

It's not even that bad, you can go to the Wolve's Den to set up your hotbars and adjust them after playing a few casual matches

No need to fret

[exotic kayak]

Yeah.

[dense cave]

PLD ftw, unli stuns / invul / mitigation on party members on LB what more do you want?!

[stark grove]

damage ?

[dense cave]

[patent gazelle]

!mute 250481889406615552 1h that kind of language isnt appropriate around here
#archived-player-vs-player message

[surreal token]

Success!

@vast crag has been muted by @patent gazelle for 1 hour!

[stark grove]

winning the game because I simply stayed on the point so much that by the time overtime rolled around I was the only one on it, mwah

Pulling people away from the point and stunning them there has to be the best part of playing WAR

[stark grove]

From bronze 3 to silver 3 in a single streak babyyyyy

[eternal spoke]

single target 3s stun with 15scd = unlimited stun

[queen gyro]

It sure feels like BS to die in the middle of the invincibility portion of the DRG LB

[weary inlet]

PLD feels so much better than people give it credit for, it is however extremely low on damage

So you are fully reliant on your team

It's like playing support in any MOBA

[exotic kayak]

I had to AFK in the last 2 minutes because of a call.

But damn this game topped my 18 minute game yesterday.

Constant back and forth fighting.

[queen gyro]

Isnt Confiteor like, a big nuke tho

[weary inlet]

A MCH that doesnt LB

A NIN that doesnt LB

A SMN that doesnt LB

[weary inlet]

BRUH

someone is lagging through stuns

what the fuck

[stark grove]

happened to me too

Oblation is fucking funny about it too

that

"instantly" draws target, yeah sure

Takes a good full second for the pull to start, you basically have the time to walk to your target before it finishes being pulled

[weary inlet]

THE ENEMIES STEPPED OFF THE CRYSTAL TO CHASE ME DOWN DURING OVERTIME

WHAT THE FUCK

[stark grove]

People don't like to play the objective man they really don't

[weary inlet]

Nearly hit that 1 million damage taken

[candid kite]

How is everyone getting that ember looking pvp gear btw

I've been spamming pvp for garo gear

[weary inlet]

series level 25, from the battle pass

[candid kite]

Battle pass? What. No idea there was a BP in this game wtf.

[echo burrow]

They added a free battle pass with the newest update. All the current rewards get added to the Crystal shop at the start of the next season.

[candid kite]

Ok..so. I've just been doing it and not knowing. Do I need to just hit certain thresholds and rewards are automatic or do I need to spend a currency somewhere. I see this new one next to wolf marks.

[queen gyro]

why the fuck is hotbar copy command disabled in Wolves Den

like what reason

someone tell me

[weary inlet]

We platinum now

[echo burrow]

Go to PVP profile and in the top right area should be a Series button

You can claim your rewards there

Why do you need a hotbar copy in Wolves Den?

[weary inlet]

Went on a winstreak from gold 4 - 0 stars to platinum; Feels pretty damn good but it doesn't feel earned

[queen gyro]

for my quick chat bar

so I dont have to keep redoing it every time I try a new class

[silk rune]

You need to use /pvphotbar instead of /hotbar

[queen gyro]

oh

[silk rune]

They're two separate hotbars, so they each get their own command

[queen gyro]

nice, thanks

[silk rune]

:ConcernNod:

Hmm, emotes jank

[silk rune]

Go into your PvP Profile and click on "Series Malmstones"

There's several rewards in there, including the Hellhound Armor set and an emote

There's also the Trophy Crystals that you can use yo exchange for Wolf Collars, which will allow you to buy the Hellhound weapons to match your armor

[candid kite]

Where do I exchange the trophy crystals

[echo burrow]

The vendor next to the wolf mark vendor in the ship at the wolves den

[silk rune]

The vendors will have a title that indicates what they exchange

Won't miss it

[sacred quail]

I am looking to get deep into the pvp as a new player. I wanted to learn the classes in pve first but sounds like pvp and pve skills are not even close to similar? So am I better off just jumping into the pvp once I hit 30?

[stark grove]

If you want to play PvP mostly you don't need to know the PvE equivalent of the classes AT ALL

They're completely different

[sacred quail]

Thanks. Good to know. Will have to learn the hard way than ⚰

[sterile ibex]

you also don't have to level the jobs to have the entire kit

[versed lily]

all u need is lvl 30 and the job quest to get your job stone

reaper sage dancer rdm drk mch can all be got easy cus they start above 30, not sure if im forgetting one

[silent wedge]

ast crying rn

[sacred quail]

Can be gotten easy or I have to grind to 50 for example for the machinist?

[versed lily]

ah well, u need atleast 1 class high enough level to unlock stuff

i think sage/reaper requires 70

[sacred quail]

Got my rogue/ninja

[sterile ibex]

well for mch drk and ast you need ishgard unlocked

[sacred quail]

O ok nm I misunderstood. Ya I'll get those. Just the starting ones I have I have grind up to 30. Got it

[versed lily]

ye i leveled myself a drg and blm

guna level monk now , looks fun

[sacred quail]

Ya for pve I'll focus 1 or 2 cause I can't decide between ninja or machinist 😂 and pvp I want to try them all

[versed lily]

so far the ones ive tried have all been fun, tho if u really wana carry in ranked theres like 6-7 that are a bit above the rest

but the others arent so far behind you cant play them and do well in unranked

[sacred quail]

Definetly. I'm sure I'll learn what's best once I'm ready for ranked and what I like for my playstyle

[versed lily]

atm id say , rdm drg war whitemage samurai summoner mch bard are all really strong

[tired tulip]

BRD doesn't seem that strong, imo. At least, I've never been wary of bards on the other team.

Whereas if I see an RDM, WAR, or WHM, I go "shit."

[versed lily]

they just enable the other classes with their lb and silences

[tired tulip]

Ya, it's nice CC. But it feels like RDM, SMN, and MCH contribute more.

[versed lily]

so it doesnt feel like they hard carry but they are stronk

drg dmg is so fast tho lol, and half ranged, scary af

[tired tulip]

I wish I could see the DRG LB... currently, the only way I can tell is if they're still alive but not visible. I know they jump up, but it's hard to tell in the midst of action. :')

MCH LB gets a little + mark to indicate it, so why can't DRG LB have an indicator, too..!

[weary inlet]

BRD is very good, but you need to play around others

[echo burrow]

Bard has some decent damage from range. Dunno how good the burst is though

[magic linden]

Bard's individual burst isn't good, but I just enjoy playing ti to be a nuisance to enemies lol

[granite orbit]

will i get alot more series malmstones doing frontline roulette than a crystalize conflict?

[vast crag]

frontline roulette is once a day

the bonus that is

after that it just gives 500/750/1000 depends on your placement

[uncut igloo]

How do you play whm in crystal conflict because it seems when I spawn the whole other team will just follow me to the back of the spawn?

[queen gyro]

if they do that they've already lost

[vast crag]

yeah, the objective is to push the crystal to the opponent's base heh

[versed lily]

run em around goose chases using the bonus speed side parts, loop around to the health pots or your backline so they can help you kill em

[queen gyro]

I think I just watched two DRGs wipe out each other's teams at the same time

[restive grail]

mmm, Black Mage feels so fun to play

[weary inlet]

Man frontlines would be so much more interesting with only 2 team there

Having the pepega losing team just perma rush you down is so fucking boring

[vast crag]

that's great

you haven't experienced if the losing team rushing the 2nd place team while the 1st place team just smoking weed at the base

[restive grail]

what I usually get is the 1st team taking all the objectives, while the second team pushes all the way into the losing team's spawn (mine)

[dense cave]

Same scenario with me doing pvp daily yesterday.

[queen gyro]

pffft

[restive grail]

kek

[sinful tundra]

gotem

also gold 3 is hell

[granite orbit]

[dense cave]

[round bison]

playing whm in crystalline conflict makes me angy

[echo burrow]

That’s why I play warrior. Me unga bunga. Me smash puny team on point.

[stark grove]

same man

I do love to unga a good bunga

[round bison]

I feel like dragoon lb is overtuned, no way to see it coming and does like 90% of your hp

[queen gyro]

theres a marker where it'll land, its pretty hard to see in bright sunlight in the chaos of combat though

its a pubstomper, because its balanced around how much time it gives you to react, and at some point people learn how to react to it accordingly.

[round bison]

Idk how you're supposed to see it with 1 million particle effects on the screen in the middle of combat

[queen gyro]

you can turn those off or at least simplify them.

[round bison]

simplified still shows lb's right?

though it'll look like the other team is just doing poses and you're dying to nothing lol

[queen gyro]

you dont need particles to know what is being cast

its just matchup experience that you'll gain over time

like you'll learn to see a powered Drill coming by the sound the analysis makes, or to not attack a samurai who is doing the kaiten

etc.

[limpid bluff]

It's me or there's Hacks on PVP?, Some situations that i've seen today it's anything but a standard gameplay.

[queen gyro]

What happened

[fringe tiger]

There's definitely already hackers

Someone told me they had someone from the enemy team in their spawn during start up lol

[limpid bluff]

Healer with over 1m Heal points, a WAR that tooking too low damage, people using Recuperate automatically etc

[queen gyro]

Recuperate is weavable

[limpid bluff]

Also infinite and without the animation where your characters just move without open their arms for the skill animation?

[queen gyro]

is it really infinite though

I havent seen this one

[limpid bluff]

You can use up to 4 times in a row

[graceful tulip]

i have zero awareness of any of that XD

[silk rune]

Start building it

Battle awareness is the most important thing to have in competitive modes

[graceful tulip]

i can maybe have some macro awareness of things people might be trying/planning overall, but i dont think i'd ever have that microawareness at a skill use level

[amber escarp]

zepla just carried me in pvp

[wary orchid]

Monk tips?

[vernal wing]

is there a way to see who's attacking u other than visually?

like i cant tell when im getting ranged attacked

[tired tulip]

What are the time-limited items and/or awards? Just wondering if I should be aiming for something specific, or if it's alright to prog more sporadically. Been using my Wolf Marks on random goodies as well.

[vast crag]

garo, probably will last till 7.0(?)

assuming the old pattern where It lasted for 3 years

people spamming CC is not solely because of the reward, it's cause it's addictive loll

[tired tulip]

Well, ya. I’ve been spamming it because I’m addicted. 😆

Been wondering if I should aim for the rewards as well, but if they’re around for that long— eh.

[echo burrow]

Well, you’ll probably have more wolf marks then you could ever use. Might as well buy the Garo stuff and get the title so you can get the achievements

[naive lintel]

Remember, Calamity Salvager has Garo stuff for rebuy too so you can buy sets, get your achievement and toss them out of your inventory if you want.

[spiral brook]

Yep

The only things you need to hold onto are the PLD shield and any set of accessories (they’re all-class)

[echo burrow]

That’s good to know

[fringe tiger]

The only good rewards are the tier rewards. The top 100 rewards are a joke, except top 1 but that's just asinine to grind so hard for a portrait that currently is only really used for pvp

[sudden crest]

I wish there was a way to report people for chat spam or afking in pvp

because I just had a player who did both

[earnest sundial]

are certain rewards locked behind ranked CC matches? or at least will be later on

[sudden crest]

what kind of rewards?

[candid bane]

people need to understand that this PVP is holding crystal objective and not 1v1 in the corner for 10 mins straight

and I hate MNK/DRG/SAM folks who just jump far away from rest of the team and expect me to heal them.

[sudden crest]

we have recup lol

[candid bane]

they used them all

and then they keep spamming chat asking for heal

and I am like "nope"

[sudden crest]

then they are bad
