Okie dokie.

Spoiler warning ⚠️ Read at your own risk.
||Seeing Golbez was pretty sick lol||

[sage whale]

Gottfried?

[winged hill]

RIP in piece

[late aurora]

Literally who is ||Gilbert||?

[winged hill]

Fucking autocorrect. Damn you to heck.
I fixed it lol

[late aurora]

Okay that makes more sense

[shrewd sonnet]

im about to attempt alliance raid with 24 tanks

wish me luck gamers

[winged hill]

I wanna do that lol

[tame cloud]

Drk and gnb is the dps, pld the healers and war the tanks

[swift kraken]

god the alliance raid music is so good

im so glad it was just ||me and the gods having a good time. thats honestly what i wanted out of a raid||

hope the series stays this comfy

ive had enough of saving the world

[orchid slate]

Ok, when can we expect 6.2, this has wet my appetite horribly. I need more now. I assume in another three to four months?

[humble heron]

4 months yes

[shrewd sonnet]

looking good so far

[brazen trout]

purururu AWAWAA

[frank raptor]

Guys how long the MSQ when you reall all text? Wanna clear it in 1 session

[stiff charm]

2-3 hours as usual for patches

[frank raptor]

I remember ShB one is like 4-5.

Maybe i am too slow. Thanks for the info though!

[stiff charm]

5.3 was an exception

[shrewd sonnet]

Update: it is possible

[hollow ice]

ah you mean ||Theodor the mad king||

[winged lagoon]

So much boss spinning

[sand breach]

tfw warrior heals the party

enough warriors and you have full uptime on the heal lmfao

[dawn basin]

IDK what I expected...

[mellow spade]

how long does a normal run of the new raid last?

[livid oracle]

3 hours

Prepare to Die™️

My group was pretty smart, and we recovered from a near wipe on all the bosses. Wiped only on the 2nd to last boss, and the 2nd boss.

But most groups are stupid, so your mileage may vary lol

and by near wipe I mean the tanks and 2 healers lived on one, and 1 tank, 1 healer, and 3 dps on another LOL

[orchid slate]

||Is the venture into the Void simply going to be a small outting that'll be for inbetween expansions or is it a prologue to a full expansion based in the void?|| To note, I'm asking for everyones thoughts and opinions, not one off "ask the magic eight ball" or "wait and see"

[mellow spade]

full expac

[wind bough]

What about the magic 8 ball’s thoughts and opinions

[livid oracle]

||I'm convinced this is only to give Thancred another chance to headpat Ryne for being a good girl.||

[wind bough]

Damn the truth come out

[dawn basin]

Who the fuck buys a burger at kfc?

Ryne I'm gonna karate chop your noggin in a minute

[primal basalt]

chimkin bunger

[orchid slate]

Can you even order burgers at KFC?

[mellow spade]

||the thirteenth has been built up for far too long and is too important for it to just be resolved in patches it also ties in with the eden raid||

[livid oracle]

Sure, Y'shtola wants to do this so she can go tell ||Runar he is a good boy.|| but if we're 100% honest, it's for a quest chain with ||Thancred and Ryne going on a picnic||

[livid oracle]

deluxe chicken sandwich

[dawn basin]

Yep

Fillet burger

Zinger

Theres plenty of burger choices, but If I wanted a burger I'd go to Burger King.

[unreal fox]

yoyoyoyoyoyyo is this motherfucker ||golbez?||

are those the ||four fiends talking||?

[livid oracle]

|| https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8vz186pjY0 ||

yes

[primal basalt]

and now you know ||why we said to play ff4 before endwalker||

[dawn basin]

idk if ||golbez|| is gonna be our nxt BIG villain or if hes just gonna be a 1 off guy

[unreal fox]

will i finally get my ||lunar themed raid and get to fight ogopogo and the dragon zombies and bahamunt||!?!

dreaming big

[weary rampart]

"Why the guilty faces" say no one ever .

[orchid slate]

||We need more characters that bat for the farer sex, FF is lacking ||

[fresh maple]

Did you not do the Eden questline?

[orchid slate]

I was always kicked from the raids/dungeons because I am not a very good player lmfao.

[fresh maple]

If you aren't literally cursing people out, it takes a lot to get kicked from a 1 fight trial

[orchid slate]

And I joke you not at how bad I am at reaction time

[fresh maple]

Then that group aint good either

Most of those fights can be done when someone is basically dead the whole fight at this point. Would say give normal roulettes anoher try as ranged dps

Or, watch the story cutscenes on youtube 🙂

[livid oracle]

[rocky path]

i know they mentioned adding some feature for controllers that condenses combos i nthe LL, is that an actual new feature or not?

[wind bough]

No and they have expressed that they don’t want to do that at all

Not for regular combos.

They have done it for certain actions such as gunbreaker continuation combo to reduce button bloat because it’s kind of a no-brainer

[rocky path]

so what were they talking about then? jsut jump on drg and song on bard?

[wind bough]

Yep

[tribal flower]

yoooooooooooooo

guess who got

the EX3 mount

THIS GUY

[hollow ice]

great now you can wake up

squiggly dream waking up effect

[tribal flower]

i have done 8 runs of ex3

2 spawned

i lost one

but this one i got

i tend to be very lucky

and things spawn around me

also this site is now wrong

i am the 0.1%

[hollow ice]

actually you could be the 0.00000000001% which wouldnt show up

ok maybe not that many 0s

[tribal flower]

its weird that there arent that many farm parties

lots of people were bound to have cleared by now

but its still a majority blind prog

[hollow ice]

anyways I get ya, I got my Hydalyn weapon on the first win

amongst other random stuff

tho I have now made it my mission to only get the doggos from tomestones for the memes

[wet mountain]

That site isn't even accurate

[late aurora]

You do know it only tracks the people that are signed up there

[tribal flower]

I am signed up

Can’t you tell by my character in the corner

[grizzled idol]

It will update with lodstone which updates every few hours

[sly gust]

what was the emergency maintenance for ?

[chilly bluff]

Bug fixes, it seems. Don't know which ones they're targeting however as they've mentioned a couple big ones.

[sour cradle]

I imagine they're fixing aero II so it isn't literally dia but cheaper, which was something I'm glad they knew was wrong

[chilly bluff]

The two that I can think of off the top of my head are: first, the alliance raid gear and the augmented crafted gear have the wrong stats, somehow. And second, BRD has a strange bug in which using a skill on one Bard changes it for other nearby Bards making them unable to use the same skill and instead forcing a related skill to override it.

[sour shadow]

Lost mount to 96

I was|| 92||

[snow arrow]

if they have the wrong stats, then i might have to take out my materia from them?

[wet crown]

don't bother, they'll fix it

[dire trench]

I have now done 27 runs and I have yet to see it... 😐

[cold jungle]

i gotta ask you guys, anyone else feel like all this || 13th expedition preparation || feels an awful lot like preparing a || relic grind /bozja-eureka expedition zone? the medallion degradation could be a mechanic you need to maintain to go out in the field there ||

[echo hinge]

Feels more like future expansion setting up to me.

[dire trench]

I didn't really get that impression. I don't think they normally insert stuff like the Bozja and Eureka area hints quite so directly into the MSQ.

[dim sigil]

It feels far too early for expansion set up we're all set to go and only on point one patch

[cold jungle]

it just seems so perfect for an expedition zone

[dire trench]

admittedly I would be pretty happy to get another raid like DRS vs those ||4 archfiends and golbez||

[polar mortar]

Those omega quests aren't out yet right?

[pulsar current]

correct

[polar mortar]

Damn
Hopefully with .11

[pulsar current]

6.15

so got quite a bit before that

6.11 is ultimate. thats it

[polar mortar]

oh right, I mean the same as whenever Hildebrand comes out, which I think is .15 too now that you mention it

So we're getting the Tataru, Hildabrand, and Omega quests in one patch? That's a lot of questing content

[pulsar current]

and ameliance deliveries too

as well as beast tribe

[polar mortar]

True, I'm eager for beast tribes

Favourite way to level

[mint sail]

iirc they said they'd be making a new deep dungeon, this might be it

At least, I won't be surprised

but then again they're leaning into it too heavily to be purely side content, I feel

[vivid notch]

6.1 after MSQ: ||gods I really hope the four fiends are individual trial bosses not dual trial bosses or worst of all, dungeon bosses. I'd be so disappointed. I mean, I guess Cagnazzo and Scarmiglione can be dungeon, no one gives a shit about them, but we better get Golbez, Rubicante and Barbariccia as individual trials and eventually an Ultimate.||

||Azdaja's thing could also be the deep dungeon/bozja zone but I don't think it'll be. The cutscene had voice so I think it'll be full MSQ||

[thorny flax]

SGE dmg is so insane. the first one is me as SGE

[gaunt star]

Just to avoid spoilers much ||already spoiled myself the cute moment|| but does Yshtola get much this patch? 🤔

[glossy hemlock]

||Pretty heavy focus on Estinien and Y’shtola.||

[gaunt star]

Gonna be a fun patch

[vivid notch]

a little bit yeah

[snow arrow]

has crafted gear skyrocketed now that it can be traded in for radiant, or has it been priced in

[late aurora]

It can’t be traded for radiant

[snow arrow]

mb

for 590

[echo hinge]

Guessing we don't have any idea if they plan to correct the substats on the AR and augmented crafted gear.

[snow arrow]

wait they didn't do that in the maintenance just now??

[echo hinge]

nope

the only things they fixed were some housing lottery stuff and adventurer plates

I honestly would've preferred a longer maintenance and have them fix all the myriad issues than "hey guys, game is up early again!"

Just curious if they're going to fix it at all or not because I know a good handful of players already made the investments (gave up their weekly alliance raid loot drop or whatever resources go into getting augmented gear).

[old rain]

Msq: ||Isn’t the guy that scammed Estinien an npc from XI||

[pulsar current]

ye

[snow arrow]

I'm sure they will fix it since they official acked it

[toxic ginkgo]

I wonder how many players never saw that it tells you how many people have bought a lottery ticket for a given plot before buying theirs. On my server in one ward the best small has 28 people who’ve bought tickets, but that same plot in a different ward only 8 have bought tickets.

[sharp finch]

Does anyone know what the name of ||the new variation of Ink Long Dry is used for when we entered the restricted area of the Noumenon with Yshtola?||

[pulsar current]

i dont know myself, but i think its a remixed song from the most recent album?

[sharp finch]

Mmm imma try to find it

[pulsar current]

ink run dry "piano" mix

[sharp finch]

Okay found it, it's apparently Ink Long Dry (Piano Collection)

[pulsar current]

real talk it was WAY to chaotic for the scene

like, good song, makes sense where we are

[sharp finch]

True true

[pulsar current]

but like bruh im readin books fam chill out on the paino

[sharp finch]

on a side note, I just encountered the book at the bottom of the staircase where ||the very sus goldsmith's journal|| was located afnkvpdqnkv

[pallid fox]

[wind bough]

that's only a few of them

there are more

[vocal beacon]

I would like some opinions on a thought I've been having lately and wondering if I'm a lunatic or not. So on the chance of making myself a target or something, here goes: but I think the "erotic" adventurers plates/portraits are wildly inappropriate and uncomfortable.

For one, minors play this game, and if they PvP, there is literally no way to avoid seeing an instant portrait. Secondly, consent is an issue, I genuinely feel a similarity can be drawn to people doing sexual activities in public. I'm all for sexual freedom and the like, but the people exposed to any such acts should have the choice of whether or not they even want to see it in the first place, no?

I've been told that you can basically just not look at adventurer's portraits but I feel like that really minimizes a great feature and is just.. not the solution, as I will never be able to tell what someone's plate is like.

I dunno. I didn't think I'd care, or be bothered, and I never really care too much about most things in games cause I just do my own thing. Nor do I usually have a desire to discuss something like this. But I'd really love some opinions on this, whether with or against. Because I am genuinely getting irritated being forced to see some pink miqo girls cooch every other match.

[obtuse trout]

Tbh

I totally agree with you there people should know better that also minors play the game or very young people in general to me being a decent human is the least you should do which includes acting appropriate

For me personally it's always uncomfortable to be at certain locations cuz people are being inappropriate it got less the past few months but I totally get you point and I'm sure a lot of others do aswell

[vocal beacon]

I've never been bothered by public erp because I guess I just always avoided places, not consciously, but I just dont hang in Limsa, I like other places more.

But this has increasingly bothered me because its everywhere, I guess. And I keep encountering it. It also makes me wonder why people don't just use the privacy settings if they want to use it as some kind of ERP card for their ERP communities.

[winged lagoon]

They made a point about removing ERP and deliberately using emotes to mimic sexual actions publicly, and then release this. I don't see it staying in its current form.

[obtuse trout]

People are abusing it and it's very ehhh

[vocal beacon]

I guess I just don't understand why, but eh

Yea

[pulsar current]

the game is t for teen

[primal basalt]

online interactions not rated by the esrb

[sturdy talon]

The reality is that people are going to complain about it and we're either going to wind up with a neutered version of it that doesn't allow for creativity or uniqueness, or they'll just take it out altogether. All because people wanted to complain about pictures of characters in the MMO.

[pulsar current]

so i dont think the devs can completely eradicate it

i mean im fine with it, idc much

the devs are well aware how horny there game is, look at the 2b gear

[sturdy talon]

It's a shame too because it's such a cool feature, but people can't stop themselves from inventing problems where there aren't any. 🤷‍♂️

If they start limiting expressions and poses in the portraits, then at that point there's effectively no reason to have the plates.

Honestly, I'd rather they just add some stuff to the ToS about plates and just leave them alone. Considering they seem to have the goal of making the ToS as long and bloated as possible, it shouldn't be too far out of reality.

[onyx sundial]

I suddenly remember the smash ultimate sharing part

Where people just shared suggestive photos, videos and stages lol

[sturdy talon]

yeah you could fine some super weird stages lmao

[onyx sundial]

You cant really stop horni

You can weed em and suspend them though

[sturdy talon]

99% of the time it's probably not even true horni, just meant for laughs

the other 1% is balmung

[pulsar current]

thats not true!
its 2%!

[somber storm]

6.9%

[pallid fox]

It's important to remember that the portraits function is still technically a "beta" version. This means that they're currently gathering data, and will very likely implement some sort of controls to prevent "inappropriate" portraits from being used.

I expect this will lead to a major restriction to customization options for the portraits, and will almost definitely involve an update to the TOS. It's honestly a perfect example of "this is why we can't have nice things".

[sage flame]

Anyone feels like Auto-Target is broken, it only works well in certain combo settings with Legacy movement vs Standard movement? One setting combo will work base Camera facing vs base on Character facing? The "Enable Full Auto-Target" does nothing to be honest. Tested many time on dummy on and off.

[pallid fox]

It's less about the outfits and more about the suggestive poses. Not everyone wants to see your character's upskirt shot or nude pics. It's irritating at best, and extremely offensive at worst.

[sturdy talon]

Think we'll just have to agree to disagree about the definition of offensive. But that's okay.

[bright osprey]

I just want to have more poses in the customisation,bummed that victory and battle emotes aren't in it

[pallid fox]

Unsolicited nudes are always offensive. In real life or in fantasy.

[pulsar current]

so just have an option to turn it off

[vocal beacon]

I.. just don't think that's the appropriate solution?

[glossy hemlock]

God this is gonna be a thing for a while huh

[sturdy talon]

I agree with that. But we aren't talking about nudes.

[sturdy talon]

It 100% is. Let the small number of people complaining completely eradicate the issue for themselves without taking the feature away from everyone who enjoys it.

[glossy hemlock]

The perverts are actually in the minority with this, a TON of people have been complaining about gross people purposely making their plates literally just ass pics.

[pulsar current]

who?

gimme some links

[glossy hemlock]

Even just scroll around in this server.

[vocal beacon]

I mean I enjoy it. I don't want them to remove the function or to dumb down customization. As a matter of fact, I want them to add a whole lot more customization and I was even wondering if it would work with stuff like Anamnesis.

But that's beside the point. I don't know, I don't usually engage in topics such as these cause they will all be forgotten the next week anyway. I cannot begin to explain how much of an easygoing "I dont care" type of individual I am.

But there is something about being forced to constantly look at portraits of asses and weird insinuated hooha portraits that is just.. fucking not funny. And uncomfortable as fuck.

[echo hinge]

I think it's hilarious people are so bothered by instant portraits they'll forget by the time the match is over.

[pulsar current]

ah the classic "go find it yourself"

[glossy hemlock]

I’m sorry you think people wanna see your character’s whole pussy but for real it’s just dumb.

[pulsar current]

from what I'VE seen many more people enjoy the system than hate on it

[glossy hemlock]

No, people like the system, they don’t like people making lewd plates.

[vocal beacon]

You think it's hilarious, I get it. I don't know why some of you try to dismiss the people who have an issue like we're some kind of extremist yelling at a rally.

I think the idea of being uncomfortable as fuck seeing these things repeated again and again is a very fair argument, no?

[glossy hemlock]

It’s obviously a figure of speech.

[vocal beacon]

I mean, yea, there's no nudity. But it's very easy to make insinuated portraits. I've seen some. Props for originality, it's basically just something very skimpy with like the twinkle star stuff. Lmao

I dunno, man. I don't want them to remove this by any means, I love this system. I just hope there's a solution that will allow me to not be forced to look at this stuff as much as I have already.

[pulsar current]

so just be able to turn it off for PVP

like thats it

[glossy hemlock]

Anyways it might be better to get the mods involved at this point tbh

[echo hinge]

You can see someone wearing skimpy outfits in any given roulette you pop into. Why is this now an issue

[pulsar current]

thats the only time you're FORCED to see it

[vocal beacon]

That could be a bandaid, I suppose? I think I'd prefer a stance reflected in the ToS though.

[glossy hemlock]

This isn’t gonna be resolved.

[pulsar current]

well it aint gonna be here

[vocal beacon]

Because there's a difference between characters wearing skimpy outfits, and a deliberate pose zoomed in on someone's private areas, taking up 1/5th of your screen.

[glossy hemlock]

Right

[pulsar current]

imma be real chief the ToS is pretty weak when it comes to in game gear

[vocal beacon]

The problem is not that characters are sexualized. It just feels like a lot of them are literally just escort contact cards.

Ah, man, whatever, I'll remove myself. I understand you guys have less of or no issues with this, but you guys are like just not being pleasant, lmao.

[glossy hemlock]

Yes. The people who are deliberately making ass pics as their plates.

[pallid fox]

You haven't seen them, huh. I have. I wish I hadn't, but I have.

[glossy hemlock]

Just want you to know that way more people agree with you.

You’re just getting dog-piled by them.

[pulsar current]

the classic ladies and gents

[sturdy talon]

We are allowed our opinion as much as he is. We even offered a reasonable solution: an option to turn the plates off.

[pulsar current]

at any rate it'll stay for a while, better get used to it

[echo hinge]

At least for PvP it's a very viable solution imo

[glossy hemlock]

By the way you can feel free to ping the mods or write a modmail ticket if you so choose.

[vocal beacon]

Mhm. I don't have an issue with the opposing stance at all, it's why I initiated the debate to begin with. I just don't like the seeming necessity for condescension towards people who don't agree with you.

Like you're completely fine to have your own opinion / boundaries.

[glossy hemlock]

Yeah that’s why it’s become an issue tbh..

[pulsar current]

alas, discord arguments tend to be pretty useless

most people tend to be entrenched in their ideas

esp on here

[vocal beacon]

Nah, not what I was referring to

[prime basalt]

So this is so awkward

I never had this happen

I am Dead Weight in the Allaince Raid

[pulsar current]

i mean you're giving the 1% party buff maybe

so its phys ranged simulater

[prime basalt]

I am not

all my gear is broke

[glossy hemlock]

Repair it??????

[prime basalt]

Cant mid raid

[glossy hemlock]

How many times did you die that it broke lmaooo

[prime basalt]

It was low alreadyt

it was a oversight

[echo hinge]

probably just went in without realizing it was low

[glossy hemlock]

Omg lmao

[prime basalt]

Aka I COMPLETY forgot that was a thing

[glossy hemlock]

That’s hilarious

[sturdy talon]

Then I apologize for sounding condescending. We are all entitled to share our thoughts.

[glossy hemlock]

I hope it’s not too awful for your teammates

[echo hinge]

SE really needs to add a way for party members or something to repair each other's gear

[glossy hemlock]

LOL I’d be so embarrassed I’d just leave

[prime basalt]

They kicked me

Which I understand

[glossy hemlock]

LMFAO OH NO

Yeahhh tbh I would too

[sturdy talon]

I’d be reporting that

[glossy hemlock]

But that’s funny and unfortunate

[echo hinge]

the fact you can request melds but not repair each other's gear is kinda oof

[prime basalt]

It was a allaince raid

BUT

I got the gear i wanted

[glossy hemlock]

The new Alliance Raid would suck to have one party member as a dead fish

[pulsar current]

it was a feature in 1.0

[echo hinge]

No idea why they removed it then

[pallid fox]

Always have backup gear in your bags lol

[glossy hemlock]

I just always have like full stack of Dark Matter tbh

[pallid fox]

Even if it's a lower ilevel set, you can swap it out if you screw up and forget to repair (and aren't a high enough level crafter to repair it).

[glossy hemlock]

But I also have all DOH/DOL maxed so I can repair it all

[pulsar current]

i just obsesivly repair and organize my inventory

[echo hinge]

yeah, OCD means if I see any green its getting repaired

[prime basalt]

I dont have that

[echo hinge]

90%? time to repair

[dim sigil]

I think asking for a repair is like still an auto translation or something

[pallid fox]

I always hit a repair NPC if my gear is 80% or less and I'm about to hit new content.

I also repair my gear before I upgrade.

Gone up 2 levels? Time to repair and equip new gear.

[modern surge]

the nice part of crafters is that you can overrepair your gear

which means less trips

[pallid fox]

DoH/DoL are on my "to do" list.

I just have to finish leveling 6 more DoW classes first.

[pulsar current]

ngl why is repairing even in the game anymore

feels like a gil sink for new players only

[modern surge]

they get significantly easier to lvl the more progressed you are in the game

hmm, it's like healing your pokemon

a way to break the mudane chore

rest up/do other stuff

[pulsar current]

yeah, but then it'd be like if you can heal anywhere to full at any time at the end of the game

and at the start you cant use it

it and teleports just drain new players for no reason

[dim sigil]

The answer is just to increase prices

[modern surge]

it's not that expensive either

[pulsar current]

you doubt how poorly new players can manage money

[winged lagoon]

There's already few enough things to spend gil on

[pulsar current]

idk just a pet peeve

[dim sigil]

That's the point it's not expensive and it's hardly an inconvenience so the mechanic doesn't even matter it's meant to be a gil sink but it does nothing for people at the end of the game

[modern surge]

I always thought of it like the equivalent of praetorium's unskippable custcenes

or when animes just put random stuff, like taking 10 seconds for a character to sit on a bench

miyazaki called that concept ma iirc

empty, pointless stuff in between the important content

[pulsar current]

but ma isnt about money

ma sets the scene, it allows players to breath and understand

meanwhile high teleports, repairs, etc, tax a player who doesnt have a way to make more cash

relatively that is

[pallid fox]

I mean, a smart newbie will figure out pretty quick that they can sell gear off for gil.

[prime basalt]

Look at my new arms!

[wind bough]

whuh

[dim sigil]

Basically what they should do is scale repair costs so even at end game it's still costly

[pallid fox]

Is that the raid arms?

[wind bough]

players make all the cash they need for teleports and repairs just by doing msq and playing regular content

[modern surge]

Hmm I'd say that's a difference in opinion—I particularly like how the game rewards you by efficiently using transportation methods vs time

[wind bough]

as long as they aren't buying stupid shit

[modern surge]

like chocobo porters, airships, teleports, etc etc

[pulsar current]

give them money to buy stupid shit thats what im sayin

[wind bough]

i mean.

[pulsar current]

heaven forbif they hit 90 early and want crafted gear

[wind bough]

they have heaps to buy some stupid shit anyway

[modern surge]

such features are relatively pointless overall, but they give you a way to spend your time without all the rush and buzz

[prime basalt]

mhm

[pallid fox]

Nice.

I saw them drop the other day, but passed because I was hoping for the chest instead.

[prime basalt]

I really like it

[pallid fox]

They look really good with your glam

[prime basalt]

thx

Besides the dyes, its all fre

freee

[elder rock]

has anyone gotten immutable solution from desynth?

[winged lagoon]

Yes, from 6.0 level 90 dungeon jewelry

[gaunt star]

I have not played 6.1 but why has y’shtola turned into a magical girl

[glossy hemlock]

Bro you just gotta play it to understand

[pallid fox]

Check trials

[hollow ice]

so would ||Rhals Balls be his twin brother Nald?||

[floral aurora]

Anyone know the name of that last song of the new 24 raid?

[chilly bluff]

In the Balance

[floral aurora]

Thank you!

[jade phoenix]

something i've been thinking about since the ||golbez and 4 fiends cutscene||

||probably just a coincidence/reference but it's funny to draw the parallels with all the other ff4 stuff shown in the 13th this patch||

[winged lagoon]

||I mean half the cast has long white hair||

[jade phoenix]

||yeah it's mainly the hair with the combination of the light purplish eyes that makes me draw the parallel, likely just a coincidence though||

||i hope the characters from this post role quest-questline get to play a part in all the 13th stuff we'll be doing in the future even though its not msq, there are few characters in the world more invested/rooted in it||

[winged lagoon]

||Ah, I missed the eyes. Hmm, that makes it a bit more likely it was deliberate. Probably just an Easter egg at best though, I doubt they'll use Unu outside of side content considering his quests are locked behind both a trial series and all ShB role quests.||

[onyx sundial]

Considering ffxiv uses so many white haired characters

[jade phoenix]

||they did mention him and the warring triad during 6.1 quests if you had done them, so maybe they'll alisae him and cyella in at some point if we do end up going all in on 13th stuff||

[onyx sundial]

Gonna say its more of a coincidence

[jade phoenix]

||also god i hope we get a full four fiends fight even though we only have 4 major patches left||

||so much more excited for this than i was for the weapons fights||

[wise elm]

||one of the four fiends is probably gonna be a dungeon boss ||

[winged lagoon]

||I'm guessing they'll be MSQ and only Golbez will be a trial (the 6.3 trial)||

[hollow ice]

y mean the ||4 lords ™️||

[wise elm]

||that would suck if we don't get atleast 3 of the 4 fiends as trials||

[winged lagoon]

||Four Lords had two dungeons and a fun solo duty at least||

[grizzled spade]

Question if this is the quest start for new raid ||"A mission in Mor Dhona"|| ?

[jade phoenix]

||i wonder how much the golbez+4 archfiends will be msq||

[jade phoenix]

yes

[grizzled spade]

ty ty ❤️ ❤️

[floral aurora]

Tried PvP

Its amazing!!!

SE has got a win finally in PvP

[opaque mango]

Yea I usually despise all forms of pvp, but this has been tolerable. At least until I grind out the items I want. White mage seems pretty good, been queuing as that

[floral aurora]

What's going on?

Ever since Endwalker everything has been great!

Did they finally have a meeting and said we need to up the quality to a thousand?

Makes me even more excited for stuff coming in future patches

[granite nimbus]

Under Trials.

Right under the Howling Eye.

[gaunt star]

||is the knight in black armor Chaos?!||

[late aurora]

No

[gaunt star]

👀

[hollow ice]

||FF4 Golbez armor||

[chilly bluff]

||Golbez from FF4. But with how things work in FF14, it's probably not that simple.||

[gaunt star]

Oooooookay

[late aurora]

Smh looking at all these people that haven’t played ff4

[gaunt star]

That is one I haven't played. Ill be honest. I didn't play 4-6.

Guess I know what I need to do before the next dlc/patch drops.

[winged lagoon]

Y'all are playing Final Fantasies besides XIV? :P

[gaunt star]

Only the mobile FFXV, jk

[chilly bluff]

I've played all but 11

[late aurora]

Dissidia got me into the lore
So you bet I read up on the source materials

[gaunt star]

My wife has never played a single FF game except 14. Lol, she's watched me play OG7 and 7 Remake.

[floral aurora]

[winged lagoon]

I've played a few hours of VI and that's it

[floral aurora]

FF7...best "single player" Final Fantasy game xD

[gaunt star]

Tbh my wife never knew about FF till she met me. Lol

[floral aurora]

[hollow ice]

Bravely Default is the best "FF" game

[gaunt star]

FFT, hands down

[hollow ice]

funky way of spelling BD

[late aurora]

BD brought me back to the good ole days of FF

Finding a broken job combo, and breaking loose

[wet crown]

and then doing it again in BS

until they butchered the system in BD2 and made it more volatile than ever

[meager karma]

So people liking pvp now

[dapper reef]

having just finished Aglaia...

Thal's balls, that is all.

[floral aurora]

Did Yoshida say the new extreme trial would be the hardest extreme ever? Or did he say it will be hard?

Because I think no extreme tops Thordan Extreme

[grand aspen]

ex3? it's a lot but i wouldn't say it's the hardest

[floral aurora]

That's what I thought

I honestly think Ruby Extreme is harder

I think that person might of been mistaken on what Yoshida meant

[wet crown]

He said the fight had one or two savage level difficulty mechanics. That's why it gives 2 totems.
But he didn't call it the hardest

[floral aurora]

That's what I thought, but maybe he might of said it was the hardest extreme "in the expansion". That would be true

[grand aspen]

ik EXs are supposed to be easier than savages but if this is the hardest of the expansion i'm gonna be a little disappointed

[rain badger]

What is a savage level mechanic lol

It can be as easy as proteans or as hard as lights rampart

[old rain]

So I haven’t done the ar yet so idk if ||Halone is in it yet but I’m hoping we get a Heavensward remix in whatever tier she||

@quasi cargo ||Is Halone in yet||

[quasi cargo]

not in this one

[old rain]

Gotcha

[quasi cargo]

im also hype for that 🥰

[old rain]

||Is it just Byregot and Rhalgr?||

[quasi cargo]

bgm 100 on last boss tho

||Byregot, rhalgr, azeyma and nald'thal||

[old rain]

Gotcha

It’ll be a missed opportunity if ||they don’t remix Heavensward for Halone||

At least to me it would

[dire trench]

make sure to check your actions before you queue for pvp xD

I joined a frontline match, lol

[floral aurora]

Definitely the current hardest extreme. EX1/EX2 are way easier

[floral aurora]

I did that with Reaper my first time lol You think they have some default hotbar for you

[dire trench]

yeah, took me nearly 2 mins to find where the pvp actions were

then it was fine

but I felt pretty bad for griefing my team, lol

[slate ridge]

Who do you think we’ll fight next for myth of the realm 6.3?

If it looks like ||the bosses for the alliance will be all 12 members of the twelve||

[gaunt star]

has anyone unlocked the astra framers kit from pvp reward yet and has the same issuze of it not unlocking anything at all?

like i used the item but got... nothing?

i checked all categories and nothing new was unlocked

[slate ridge]

Is ||byregot’s builders build with the knock back and cone aoe similar to the mechanic from the last boss of CLL where it’s relative to the boss’s position?||

Cause I’m seeing similar stuff

[floral aurora]

You aren't alone lol Now I'm trying to figure out how to have the PvP Hud Layout

Want to remove my party list and only show enemy list since I'm not a healer

[thorny flax]

I am now series level 15

this mode is so much fun. Can't wait for the season to start

[earnest wind]

does anyone here have the ex3 mount already?

[orchid slate]

You think they'll introduce a whole new mini-zone in the coming patches akin to the zone prior to Endwalker?

[next quarry]

mini zone?

like terncliff?

[chilly bluff]

Exploration zone is probably happening too. What and where, however, we can't even begin to guess.

[sonic estuary]

I know it's completely unrelated to the character, but (6.1 MSQ spoilers) ||the big void knight thingy has a helmet that reminds me of perfect alexander's head in TEA||

[gaunt star]

How is everyone enjoying the new patch??

[gaunt star]

He does kinda look like a humanoid version doesn’t he

[sonic estuary]

yeah lol

also I'm really liking it

[gaunt star]

||How is Golbez as a character in IV? Without spoilers||

||The design from Dissidia||

[sonic estuary]

oh also, it's been that way since 6.0 but everytime I hear Vrtra speak I can't unhear Gosetsu's voice

I'm 99% sure that they have the same VA

[gaunt star]

I need to get the GARO gear

[pulsar current]

He’s not the deepest character but god is he memorable

[gaunt star]

I'll check out IV when I get the chance

[elder marsh]

ok, ex3 enrage is pretty generous

[sonic estuary]

oh wait

so it's literally a character from another FF game

[primal basalt]

one of the most popular, in fact

[sonic estuary]

kinda like anima

[pulsar current]

Ye

[sonic estuary]

ngl the msq is longer than I thought lol

6.1 msq I mean

[brisk quail]

It's ya boy ||Golbez|| playing the role of ||Shard of Ranjit|| for FFXIV

If he doesn't punch shit with his ||dragon|| imma be mad

||Wait. Oh fuck||

||you don't think... that||

[sonic estuary]

I want gilgamesh to come back as the big villain of 7.0

[gaunt star]

||Golbez got Vrtra's sis???||

[brisk quail]

Me:

[desert basin]

Anybody know how long Garo collab will be? Seems weird there is no banner at launcher

[broken sapphire]

does anyone know where to get the sweet lawn ornament? 🤔

[elder marsh]

whew

finally finished EX3

tbf, i kinda got carried by a savage bis

but tbf x2, i knew how to do the mechanics

[vital brook]

F for the "friend"

F for the "brother"

[primal basalt]

||she's talking about vrtra||

in the second one at least

[coral burrow]

Yeah that's just a brother

[winged lagoon]

There's different music playing in Nero's Prae cutscene now, right? ANyone know what track it is?

[glossy hemlock]

Huh?

[floral aurora]

How do you activate Megaflare?

[glossy hemlock]

It’s an emote

You have to buy it

[floral aurora]

Wait you might of been thinking of that one mog station emote lol

I thought you were joking

I'm talking about the PvP one

[glossy hemlock]

Oh important distinction

[floral aurora]

Found out, it does it automatically when I summon it

[warm lily]

anyone know if/how you can sit in the Character plate thing?

[mossy pawn]

AND WHEN WE REACH OUR ENDS

[hollow wolf]

You cant

[granite nimbus]

Hmm... is anyone getting sporadic lag spikes?

Or is it just me?

[old rain]

90ex ||how do these fucking rings work||

[rain onyx]

||They tell you which “section” of the mechanic is being repeated.
1 ring = the one that just happened
2 rings = the one before that
3 rings = the one at the “start” of the mechanic||

||To use the rotating head as an example; 1 is the direction it just cleaved, 2 is the direction before that, and 3 is opposite the direction of 1.||

[old rain]

Gotcha

||I understood how the outer heads work but the inner head always got me||

[sonic estuary]

so

||The gate to the realm of the twelve was there in mor dhona all this time?||

[fluid adder]

||Tataru: Take it easy, yes? A simple adventure into Thavnair||
||Scions, immediately after regrouping: Let's hike to the very void, huh?||

[pulsar current]

||Aetherical imbalance from the final days allowed the phantom realm to open||

[primal basalt]

it's the new "my head's fuzzy cause i was next to Sin"

[inner python]

I got lag spikes too just now when I was doing pvp... I thought it was my old ass computer

[pallid wadi]

Can't wait for the chaos emeralds to come back and seal evil mc. Bad guy back into the shadow realm

[glossy hemlock]

Nope.

You can get new emotes though, and then they can apply to that.

I think the /draw emote works with it and you get that at the Gold Saucer

[chilly bluff]

You only need to wear the title. Job and gear doesn't matter once you have the title.

[ionic flicker]

Is it me or the twleve's shrines have a touch of Amaurotian style?

The curved thingy

Its only seen on Amaurotian buildings

At least the only ones I remember

[wind bough]

The helix design yeah

[ionic flicker]

The rest of the place looks different than anything

in game that is

Might be they either date back to early-Amaurot era or are from Amaurot but somehow changed or adopted a different style of structure

[brisk quail]

My guess is ||the people who made it were once in amurot... but aren't the ascians||

||aka: these are the souls that were used to summon hydalen since... she couldn't exactly do it by herself and go super power mode to slap zodiark||

[lament badger]

is it possible to holmgang both theological fatalisms in endsinger ex

[echo hinge]

you mean the double fatals?

[lament badger]

the 5heads yes

I can do every mechanic but those

[echo hinge]

Oh, that. Not sure but you can honestly just follow the leader in 90% of cases

Just follow the leader. If it causes a wipe they can't say it was you

[lament badger]

well the thing is nobody knows how to deal with it

[echo hinge]

I mean you can try it if you want. Your healers won't like you very much though.

[lament badger]

and I gave up trying to resolve it so I just tank invuled it on pld

you can survive the TB w/ rampart + the 30% mit

and since it happens twice I was wondering if warrior could just ignore it entirely w/ a shorter cooldown invuln

[echo hinge]

Think you'd have to test it yourself, don't think anyone has bothered making a timeline for the fight yet. At least as far as Google is concerned.

Going off a clear video, yes, Holmgang would cover both.

[lament badger]

what time does the enrage start?

[echo hinge]

That I'm not sure. It'd be hard to find a video that saw the enrage cast and cleared.

DPS check is fairly lenient with our current gear.

[lament badger]

huh. well im gonna go terrorize PF

[broken kettle]

Gotta identify the direction of the middle head, then there's a few options :

• Middle head doesn't point toward you : if your head is odd, stay, if it's 2, take the other one.
• If it does : move to the diagonal head if it's odd, else move to the orthogonal one

[lament badger]

i understood none of that

[broken kettle]

You're talking about the heads with donuts around them right ?

[lament badger]

yes

[broken kettle]

Do you understand what the circles around them at the end mean ?

[lament badger]

yes

[broken kettle]

OK so when the circles come, you have to look at the middle head and suss out where it's going to point to

If the head points towards you, move to the diagonal head if it's 1 or 3, if it's 2 go to the other safe head

If it doesn't, stay on the last head you were on if it's 1 or 3, if it's 2 go to the other safe head

[lament badger]

yeah im not getting it

back to holmgang i go

[lament badger]

i have now seen enrage at 35%, with 27 deaths across the party

[solemn frigate]

Can I enter the lottery for both the FC house and the personal house?
Since I can enter 1 lottery at a time.

[next lantern]

i cant install this

[sage flame]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qegblnZnMA so cute

[rustic herald]

No. One lottery total. fc OR personal but not both.

[amber canopy]

So I just finished the new MSQ, the character in the last scene should be the reaper buddy of Zenos right?

[pulsar current]

ye

[amber canopy]

Interesting how that is going to play out. Wonder how he views Zenos and the WoL

I'd like to know more about how they found each other

[old rain]

Msq: ||should I finish the 6.1 msq or do the ar then continue?||

[glossy hemlock]

Zenos is a tool

[glossy hemlock]

It’s really quick so why not finish the patch first???

[pulsar current]

do the AR tbh

[old rain]

Also do I need to spoiler tag the msq here? I’ve bee doing it just to be careful

[winged lagoon]

Yes

I think

[old rain]

Gotcha

||I thought that voidsent knight was Garland for a second||

[winged lagoon]

6.1 MSQ and AR should be spoiled everywhere outside of the thread in #archived-lore-spoilers I believe

[old rain]

Gotcha

[old rain]

||is that knight Zenos’ ex avatar?||

OH

MSQ ||GOLBEZ???||

[pale star]

Indeed

[glossy hemlock]

Hot

[flat berry]

are we able to get the chicken suit from this years hatching event?

[thorny sleet]

should be on mogstation/online store for cash since it's a old event reward

[earnest sparrow]

||i think that knight in black with the four weird thingies is golbez and the four fiends from ff4||

even the music was the from the game

[last perch]

99% sure its this aswell based on visual context

||It also makes sense thematically since there is a dragon thrown in the mix also , like how in ff4 golbez has a dragon and basically uses it as a sheild , aswell as the fact this expansion is super heavy on FF4 themes , just makes me wonder how they will do the 4 elemental arch fiends fights , trails? , solo fights / MSQ related , or are they gonna be saved for 7.0 way down the line and be the dungeon bosses in the MSQ for when we go to the 13th shard.||

[gaunt star]

has anyone bought those adventure plate unlocks from pvp?

[pulsar current]

i have

[gaunt star]

what do they look like

are they just idle poses what jobs have normally

[pulsar current]

its just the frame

[gaunt star]

oh.

[last perch]

The 1500 CC ones?

They give a stance aswell and something else i think

Well pose

[pulsar current]

oh shit

[blazing edge]

zenos' voidsent having a gamer moment on cam

[cinder rover]

was early to rise added to viera hairstyles?

[livid oracle]

am tryin to find artwork of Barbariccia, but like, even her official artwork and in-game she's wearing literally nothing

Yoshi-P, you can't ruin her. Give her some sensible dancers garb. Don't give in to the thirsty limsa miqotes

[sage flame]

Did 6.1 change how the materia NPC process UI?

[late aurora]

While wearing a garo title

[chilly bluff]

Wear a full set of Garo armor (plus weapon if your job has one). Present yourself to the disreputable priest to earn a title. Wear title while doing pvp to get progress towards mount achievements.

You don't need the armor after getting the title.

Title is all you need.

[past star]

has anyone put timecodes for the ||endsinger|| theme that lists each motif? because for the life of me i cannot hear whichever stormblood theme is included

[past light]

||it's at the very start because it's shinryu's opening||

[winged lagoon]

It's also briefly at the end

[past star]

ahhh that might be why, i don't think i've played that trial enough to remember what it sounds like

[true whale]

why are queues for ||aglaia|| 27 minutes it's the latest raid 😳

[past star]

although now that i think about it, it's basically a mashup of the final(?) trial themes

[winged lagoon]

That's exactly what it is

[brisk quail]

Are you queueing as a tank?

[late aurora]

Are you not a dps

[past star]

yeah, i think what messes me up on that is that ShB and HW both feature the main motifs so heavily, while it also sounds like it's integrating Torn From The Heavens

[true whale]

No, healer

which is even fucking weirder lol

[late aurora]

Same deal

[true whale]

?

[past star]

lotta people queuing

[unreal fox]

ok id like to file a complaint
i hear the saying ||THALS BALLS all the time, but thal|| had no balls

[brisk quail]

You clearly missed the phase where he dropped ||balls on you||

[unreal fox]

but they werent connected to his you no where

[past star]

showing Thal's Balls is actually illegal

[unreal fox]

nu uh greek gods do it all the time

[past star]

oh wait now i hear it, it's Phase 2
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qAHFZR0D9ss

[past light]

yes, the phase that actually matters d:

let's be honest you forgot that first part even existed after hearing the second part

[past star]

yeah this fuckin rips now

i don't think i ever actually did that trial because i got the dog via Mogtomes

imma be real, that vocal part of Ultima fuckin rips everytime

the string section also kinda went off

[tight trail]

i have a question, how do you check which placard you entered a lottery on?

[plush parcel]

How did u forget such an important thing

I remember it like my birthday

[thorny sleet]

check your timers

[tight trail]

oooh tysm! ^^

[obtuse trout]

Dps have the quickest queue for alliance raid tank and healer usually the lowest that's why

[undone zodiac]

please fucking tell me the ||reaper is some Zenos weird ass reincarnation|| lmao

[past star]

they said he wasn't done yet right?

[undone zodiac]

who or what said that?

He's the only person I could think of with a reaper-ish weapon, so idk. Just my quick conclusion

[past star]

in one of the various interviews they said there's no Zenos minion yet because his role in the story wasn't over

[indigo shale]

||The reaper is his avatar, the void sent he made a pact with||

[undone zodiac]

So it's not really him?

Possibly ||his avatar saved him or some shit||

idk

[late aurora]

You wish

[indigo shale]

||well depends on the pact that was made, we know no details on what deal zenos and the voidsent made||

||it didnt claim his body at least from the looks of it, so i doubt we will see anything of zenos again outside of flashbacks||

[gaunt star]

||WoL: "Well I wasn't going to touch it, but you know Y'shtola..."||

||Y'shtola: "Deadstare||

||Y'shtola (Savage) has been added to your Duty Finder||

||WoL: "Uh oh..."||

[obtuse trout]

Glad we all picked the option

[gaunt star]

well techincally didnt yet, got a yt recommendation

gonna be worth watching and then playing through lol

[obtuse trout]

Do it its funny

[weary monolith]

people who spam messages in CC have a special place in hell

[next quarry]

Attacking dark knight!
Attacking red mage!
Limit break ready!

[weary monolith]

Seriously

[next quarry]

Wow

[chilly bluff]

That’s def toxic lol

[weary monolith]

They spammed it from start to finish because they died ONCE

[onyx sundial]

Yeah thats annoying

Tilted people

[obtuse trout]

I only use the commands when they appropriate to use like on brd to get my group together for my LB or when it was genuinely a nice play

[old rain]

Ar ||holy shit In the Balance slaps||

[humble heron]

yes it do

[orchid slate]

Just want to double-check here, they said that they'll be adding a new Deep Dungeon between Endwalker and the next expansion right? Any theories as to where it might be placed? I was thinking on the moon with the one-off mention Urianger had about them making a Treasure Vault on the moon; that could also be the second Treasure Map dungeon too now that I think about it. I'm also assuming the Void is going to be the next Bozja/Eureka zone - maybe they'll place the DD there?

[chilly bluff]

They could make the research station on Elpis into a deep dungeon. They went out of their way to explain that some of their buildings are impossible space.

[opaque hemlock]

Elpis having the deep dungeon would be cool I agree

[cinder imp]

what's the consensus on Crystaline Conflict? Good?

[opaque hemlock]

what I'm curious about is the Eureka/Bozja equivalent. people suspected Corvos but with how G'raha is already tied to the 24-man I'd be surprised if they did something again related to him with more side content. Sounds like he'd be spread thin otherwise

[weary monolith]

Annoying when ur team just keeps running in and not popping any defensives

getting staggered

[crystal arrow]

it's good

at the very least

it's fun

they definitely fixed pvp kits

[sage whale]

Classes seem balanced around certain things it's pretty decent i feel balancewise

Some feel stronger but if your good enough i'm sure you can climb with any

[crystal arrow]

it's a bit of job fantasy and balance

[sage whale]

Except AST and Reaper i haven't seen a good one yet

I dread seeing them it's a bad omen

[crystal arrow]

but i've been enjoying nin a lot which people have been saying is weak

[chilly bluff]

If I were to assign an arbitrary number rating to it, I'd say it's an 8-8.5/10. Maybe not the absolute greatest thing ever, there are a few wonky balance things, but it is much improved over where it was.

And, yeah, the emphasis on class fantasy is a highlight.

[crystal arrow]

stuff like

!action zantetsuken

[lusty shadow]

**Zantetsuken** : lvl 0 SAM (10.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Swiftly charges forward, dealing damage to target and all enemies nearby it with a potency of 24,000.
If target is afflicted with Kuzushi, deals damage equal to 100% of their maximum HP.
Ignores the effects of Guard when dealing damage.
The additional effect of Kuzushi cannot be applied to players riding a machina and non-player combatants.
Can only be executed when the limit gauge is full.
Cannot be executed while bound.

Powered by XIVAPI

[crystal arrow]

just existing

is a win for job fantasy

[weary monolith]

until the sam and drg lb3 1 shots u,

u can see the drg lb3

but the sam one u cant predict

same with the mnk one

that just one shots u without guard

and it stuns u while the mnk does it

[crystal arrow]

mald

pvp in a pve focused game isn't something you should take super seriously in general

[earnest sedge]

There should be an option to make pvp effects limited

Save for certain things

Like massive ground AoE or LB if anything they should give a sound cue to Lb

Cos sometimes it really does come out of nowhere

[glacial turret]

Hi I’m Daisy

[weary monolith]

Call it what you want, but I should be able to counter things cus thats how pvp works, it shouldnt be one sided

[weary monolith]

Thanks, someone who actually has something to add to the discussion

[thorny flax]

PvP is so far fantastic. I also like the arena effects

[old rain]

The pvp job changes made me want to play whm

Extremely fun

[weary monolith]

Healers arnt just glorified healbots now

and Forces healers to blitz along with the team

[thorny flax]

I still see a lot of people that don't use shield, stun dispel or the heal but this might change over time

[weary monolith]

People who dont sprint as well

[orchid slate]

Holy crap, I remember that! You're right!

[thorny flax]

I see more DPS players that suck than healers

[old rain]

Only thing I don’t like with cc is that we can’t go in with premade teams

But I get why we can’t because wintrading and stuff

[orchid slate]

Yeah they hinted at that boss, from Stormblood related to Corvos is going to have ALOT of content in future patches

[weary monolith]

Things might change if they listen to some feedback, instead of some people just saying to take the L "because its a pve game" when they created pvp in the first place

[chilly bluff]

Also full stacks just rolling over randoms is never fun.

[weary monolith]

Theres no full stacks in pvp btw

you cannot que as a group

or with anyone actually

[chilly bluff]

RIght that's what I was getting at

[crystal arrow]

you can counter them though.

and that's a valid argument. they added pvp because people wanted it, but it nonetheless suffers from jank that they won't be able to solve.

[orchid slate]

I still have no idea how to queue for CC, I think I need to first find a group manually before using the Duty Finder which sucks.

[crystal arrow]

and it's fine for pvp to have good and bad classes when you can just easily swap, lmao

[weary monolith]

and thats why feedback is given? what is your argument here exactly

[thorny flax]

talk to the npc in wolve's den pier and then you can queue up normally like you would for roulettes

[orchid slate]

I can't find any NPCs, does he have a quest marker above his head?

[weary monolith]

SO your argument is if your job is bad just switch, so SE can just ignore the bad jobs

interesting.....

[orchid slate]

There are some really overpowered jobs in PvP atm, hilariously so. White Mage are almost always MVPs or WAR/DRK lmfao

[thorny flax]

you can find the npc here

[orchid slate]

Holy shit, thank you so much

Ive been trying to play CC since its release and couldnt figure out how

[thorny flax]

and the queue thing is here

[weary monolith]

Just switch to WHM WAR and DRK cus that seems to be the best solution because its a "pve game" /s

I swear to god people open their mouths just cus they can

[orchid slate]

Wait, are you attacking me now? Or talking about how people always say that.

I'm just saying that there needs to be some balance changes, but overall its fun. I just sometimes instantly die and I'm not sure how or why. Granted Im playing that large PvP thingie

[weary monolith]

nah sarcasm refering to this #retired-patch-6-3-discussion message

[orchid slate]

Gotcha, yeah, I disagree with that opinion. They need to balance some tihngs out but overall I like the direction they're heading. I really like the Season Pass

[weary monolith]

Yeah the Pass is a good incentive for people to try CC out

Not fond of the gear u can buy with the currency

but that Fiend coffer do look nice

[orchid slate]

Visually or how the once limimted release items are now for everyone?

[worn forge]

They did balancing from 4.0-5.58

the stark interest and joy people are having is because guess what

[weary monolith]

Theyre recolored job gear from previous expansions

[worn forge]

old pvp wasnt liked that much

[crystal arrow]

old pvp was shit

[orchid slate]

Yeah, agreed the recolors are awful its not worth my crystals to get them

[weary monolith]

Not even the kits

the kits are ehhh

[thorny flax]

farming the glamour that is in the pass doesn't take long btw. I farmed 2 evenings and I'm already series level 19. Series level 25 rewards the glamour set

[worn forge]

the kits are horribly balanced

and thats fun

[crystal arrow]

^

[worn forge]

everyone has jank shit they can abuse

[crystal arrow]

it's funny to me how people complain about pve kits being homogenized

and then they go for fantasy over perfect balance and people complain about it

[sonic estuary]

wyrmwind thrust is a damage nuke and I love it

[orchid slate]

I still absolutely hate the glamour system in FFXIV, literally hate it compared to how pampered I am with glamour in WoW and how easy it is to collect things not to mention all the space I have now

[sonic estuary]

yeah the tmog system in wow is def better I agree, but you get used to it

[thorny flax]

I like the DRG pvp set. It looks dope with jet black dye

[orchid slate]

I have a hot-take, at least for Ninja now that I've played PvP for the first time. I want the NIN PvP kit to be the PvE kit, my god is it so less complicated and more easily accessesible.

[weary monolith]

i actually meant the adventure plate kits

that rewards u with emblems

and the lb3 animation for your portrait

[worn forge]

oh gotcha

[orchid slate]

So... still can't play CC on my own through the Duty Finder. It's claiming i first need to find, manually find a group to even use the Duty Finder. No idea what to do.

[thorny flax]

these are custom matches

they only work with a premade group

[orchid slate]

Yuck

Forget that.

[thorny flax]

you need to pick one of the first 2 options^^

[orchid slate]

I hjate premade groups, almost all of Destiny 2 as an example require premades to literally do any group content

[thorny flax]

first 2 options in the list is solo queue

[weary monolith]

honestly theyre not as bad

since its not super long

if your team is bad it usually ends within 3 mins

[thorny flax]

yeah matches in cc are so short that you don't really mind if someone fucks up

because you can queue instantly again for another match

[weary monolith]

and still gain progress

even when losing

[thorny flax]

yep

[weary monolith]

Yknow sometimes I feel like the APlates were a mistake

[obtuse trout]

Oh they were well not the plates but the people abuse it at times

[thorny flax]

I'm sure this will stop after a certain time when people are tired of it due to overuse

Hmmm did the Shadowbringers gunbreaker set get a visual upgrade?

because it looks more high res

or am I just blind?

[obtuse trout]

I don't recall that it did but I should check that tomorrow

[cursive sapphire]

I'm pretty sure it's the higher res. It seems that way for all the job gear at costs Trophy Crystals.

[weary monolith]

All of them got better textures

similar to what they did with classical gear

[thorny flax]

nice

[uneven agate]

Is the current crystal pvp mode new?

Because I've never seen it and it's my favorite one so far

[sage whale]

Yea

[old rain]

Yeah it came with 6.1

Replaced the feast

[uneven agate]

Ah no wonder. Yeah I actually enjoy playing it now instead of just begrudgingly doing it for the marks

[thorny flax]

pvp got completely reworked besides the new mode

it's really good now

and has tons of rewards

[uneven agate]

Noice. Good to hear. Im just trying to farm all the Garo stuff I can get. I love that series

I hope it sticks around for a while so I have time

[old rain]

The last time Garo stuff was around it stayed for a while I think

[obtuse trout]

3 and a half years iirc

[old rain]

If it’s the same this time then it shouldn’t be going away until around 6.5 or 7.0 right

[floral aurora]

Damn 3 years?

Wow PvP been bad for way too long. Way to go SE on making PvP awesome!

[sage whale]

MMORPG pvp is so hard to get right

SWTOR was pretty good i think

[pliant dock]

When are the housing lottery results tomorrow for chaos?

[chilly bluff]

Should be the next daily reset

[floral aurora]

Heard GW2 had good PvP

[thorny flax]

my damage is so disgusting I love it

this mode is so much fun

[obtuse trout]

Big boi dmg

I just spent half an hour trying to find a furnishing that matches the new Riviera swinging-door counter. Did they add a door for a counter that does not exist?

[wintry sinew]

omg i didnt know i would need mahou shoujo yshtola so bad before

[wet crown]

Yes

The armor is slightly redesigned for XIV but the helmet is unmistakable.

[fluid adder]

Does Y'Shtola sound like she has a stuffed nose to anyone else in this patch?

[last perch]

YES

I thought something sounded wrong

[shut harbor]

Has anyone found a good glam for the Tropaios Scythe? the colors are kinda mismatchy with most of my glams

[tranquil viper]

Finally got this stupid box

[fluid adder]

what is that box

[tranquil viper]

Drop from ex3

[fluid adder]

I see

[old rain]

Oh ex3 has weapons?

[obtuse trout]

Yes

The one u may saw on my screenshots thats one of them

[floral aurora]

You were supposed to say, "What's in the box!? What's in the bleeping box!?" XD

[left lynx]

apparently this is a thing that can happen

[stiff charm]

yeah you can get double rewards rarely with that

or more iirc

[fluid adder]

I recall seeing derplander fight side by side with some NPCs in the 6.1 trailer, like Forchenault and Nero

I wonder if that was just fluff or Im missing sometihng

[late aurora]

Role quests

[fluid adder]

Whence do I gain these role quests

[glossy hemlock]

They told you in MSQ

In Radz-at-Han

[fluid adder]

Mhm? The Endwalker ones? Already done them all

there was no mention of new role quests in current msq

[cursive sapphire]

If you're looking for the role quests you get after doing them all, it's at Radz At Han. Called Bitter Snow.

[fluid adder]

ah

[old rain]

New role quests after doing all of them

[snow arrow]

did they add a spirit that does Fell Cleave to the atiascope?

[late aurora]

No?

[snow arrow]

who's the first ally spirit?

[fluid adder]

The first?

Papalymo

[humble heron]

The first is pappy limon

[fluid adder]

Second is Moenbryda, third is Haurchefant

[pliant token]

Someone said that Estinien showed up in Hatching Tide in a blue rabbit suit, is this true? I think I saw a screenshot

[glossy hemlock]

In one of the cutscenes?

[pliant token]

maybe?

[glossy hemlock]

The Auspices, Emmanelian and Honorit, Tataru, Gaius and Allie, and Godbert are the ones who show up around Gridania outside of cutscenes.

[pliant token]

I remember seeing a screenshot of him in a blue rabbit costume with Alphinaud

[crystal arrow]

might not've been this year

[pliant token]

I swear it was this year and it was in the 6.1 promo screenshots

[glossy hemlock]

Find the uhhh screenshot then?

[crystal arrow]

having googled i see absolutely nothing about estinien and alphy being in hatching tide for any year

[pliant token]

I've been doing that for the last 20 minutes and it's driving me bonkers because I swear it existed

because it was just so ridiculous

and there were screenshots on the subreddit

But now there's nothing

[glossy hemlock]

https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/u3gjce/secret_npcs_found_in_this_years_hatching_tide/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

That’s Seiryu

[crystal arrow]

i think you're misremembering, or you saw some fan content/art of it.

[glossy hemlock]

You probably think Seiryu was Estinien because he’s blue?

[crystal arrow]

or do you mean gaius and allie

[glossy hemlock]

Gaius is so embarrassed about it lol

[crystal arrow]

he's embarrassed specifically because we happened to be there too lmaoo

[glossy hemlock]

YEAH LOL

[pliant token]

It's just another timeline blip

[crystal arrow]

the black wolf will never live this down

[glossy hemlock]

We see him at his worst moments

Kicked his ass, now see him in a chicken suit

[crystal arrow]

kicked his ass. killed his kids. meet him in a chicken suit

[glossy hemlock]

LMAO

At least now he’s finally trying to be a good dad

[snow arrow]

Livia turning in her grave

[crystal arrow]

nah we killed her twice she got no grave to turn in

[glossy hemlock]

More like three times

The phantoms in Amaurot too

[next quarry]

What does he say specifically

[glossy hemlock]

Who? Gaius?

And Allie has a really cute dialogue but I don’t have it screenshotted, someone else has it though

[next quarry]

hahahahaha

thank you

[livid oracle]

oh my god lol

Was that last ||Reaper thingy Zenos or what?||

Cuz that mofo gotta ||stay dead||

[fluid basalt]

question... i kinda forgot when Nero ||got corrupted by aether. the new MSQ kept referring to this event...?|| when did this happen?

[tacit parrot]

CC is pretty addicting.

[brisk quail]

It's ||Zenos' avatar. You know... the void sent you gotta make a pact with to be a RPR||

[orchid slate]

I really hope Zeno doesn't become the next Sylvanas-tier villain.

[brisk quail]

They already confirmed he ||died|| in a famitsu interview

So he's gone.

This is totally sepreate from him

[orchid slate]

Thank god.

[fluid basalt]

i'd like to see actual acknowledgement in-game

[vital brook]

Yeah but what if he ends up taking his form?

And it's basically him...but more annoying

[next quarry]

Crystal tower after world of darkness

||We "leave" him in the void and he gets all purple||

[ionic flicker]

Though we manage to save him in time before the transformation completely goes through

I remember it but vaguely

[brisk quail]

Taking his form how?

[ionic flicker]

Since I did it long ago

The excessive crying on the forums is pathetic. Has it always been this bad?

[pulsar current]

yes

thats every forum tho

or at least the ones ive been a part of

it's gotten worse recently tho since despite MCH having pretty bad ping problems the dev team stated they "haven't seen many players complain about it"

[wet crown]

It seems to be true though

it's usually just the same people repeating themselves

[pulsar current]

eh, its forums. it is what it is, people complain anywhere they think they can

[wet crown]

one of my favourites
is people calling the SMN rework a failure, when the job seems to be more popular than ever

[pulsar current]

can agree, i much prefer current SMN

tho i prefer more simplistic jobs as a whole.

[bronze brook]

so for the 24 man the current theory is that the guy ( Drew- something can't remember right now ) is actually Oschon .

That he is sus i accept ,However, when i read the wiki page i don't see how the connection is made .

https://imgur.com/v6jp4HJ

what am i not seeing ?

[pulsar current]

he says he's always been traveling alone

||also naldthal is the last boss of the raid so if halone is the finale boss of the next raid it'll basically confirm it||

[idle oxide]

I think I miss it or something, but duty support doesn't have dungeon from lv 50 - 70?

Also Porta Decumana so slow... I think I finished it in 15 - 20 mins

(already answered)

[dire totem]

Is there any benefit to winning Crystalline aside from more rewards and all? I ask because I've had teammates who literally just stood at the starting spot and we lost within minutes ahead of the full duration inclusive of overtime. Seems "faster" in terms of farming wolf marks

[sage whale]

Glory and superiority over everyone ranked below you

[arctic pelican]

not yet, the rest of the dungeons will be gradually added in future patches

[old rain]

||I think Menphina’s gonna be the boss next stage||

[dire totem]

: There isn't any specific rank rewards eh?

[sage whale]

aside from the borders and crystal trophies none that im aware of

[lament breach]

https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/ranking/crystallineconflict/reward/1

Just frames and some trophy crystals

[dawn schooner]

Got a question, the lottery system tells me the entries will close at a certain time, is it suppose to be PDT? Or what time zone

[glossy hemlock]

It’s whatever your local timezone is, it converts it iirc

Thanks a lot
