depands on how fast you move with the story
like finish the story/get to max lvl
arr story is utterly boring , and i 100% understand if you rage quit at some point while going thro it
are there any like walls where it gets difficult to progress without first grinding for better equipemtn or lvls or something?
no
thats a welcome difference xd
story quests never stops handing you gear
but its actually decent gear?
for leveling? yes pretty good
there are no walls while leveling where you need good gear to pass it
gear is only meaningful when its time to tackle endgame stuff like raids
other than that you can get by with whatever quests hand you
mkay
it will always hand you gear weapons materia you enhance your gear gold food buffs
Will give you everything you neeed





I thought maybe I would get you mad if I zapped Nicky.
@verbal obsidian
aki no notice me
missing tashkent 
@steep scarab
aki toxic
aki tosic 
lol im gonna be on eu server
mistakes were made... ^^
says a guy with 100 days into the game
the barrier to FF14 is that you have to plow through the entire main story, and it's LONG
like, you can hit the "original" end of the 2.0 quests, and you're still 100 quests from -getting to go to the next zone-
just pay your way thru it
i dont really mind a long story as long as its easy
how much for pay to progress thru the story ?
dont think u can
can't what ? skip story ?
yeah
https://www.polygon.com/2017/5/31/15721490/final-fantasy-14-stormblood-xiv-level-boost-scenario-skip-cost-price-naoki-yoshida-interview
old article but it says you can
ah
everyone plays for different reasons lol
i like the feeling of slowly progressing
i actually dislike the social interaction
vanilla story is pretty boring but i don't recommend skipping
solo player
the whole group woth feriends make a guild etc sucks
things get good towards the end leading to heavensward
you're just getting less bang for your buck. endgame grinds are so dull.
they always are 
why skip just to wait for new content?
yeah i dont know why anyone would want to skip
i would skip ARR tbh
might as well enjoy the right
yeah ARR is pretty bad, like i said. it gets better though.

whys all the good stuff gotta cost monhy
cant they just use ur pc as a bitcoin miner and let us play for free Lol
trust me i spend less on gacha than 12 a month
azur lane at least
i mean the monthly isnt so bad
13 is average mmo price
but idk if i wanna fork out the AAA price for a game i cant play later without resubbing
yeah, i had extra retainers as well
gotta store all that fashion
god is that the limited inventory shit again
i hate that so much
not sure how it is today but they didn't sell inventory slots when i was still around, only retainers
having to buy inventory slots
yeha most of them do
it sucks
crafting systems are the worst too
u gotta log in every single day for a year to refresh timers for 1 mediocre piece of gear
which you then use to craft the next one
i love ff14, but it's too much
the subscription ensures they crank out new shit. it's a great game.
i'm just not a fan of the constant daily grind
and at some point ur inevitably gonna get to the step that requires a legendary crafting material from the current highest level raid which drops you 1 every 30 hours
The most worst mmo is when you crafting something but still having percentage to success
and then you need 4 of those materials
or something
but yeah constant daily grind is bs, any more than 2 hours a day and its no thanks
back to old school game.. called it rf online 
but al doesnt require your full attention (and system resources)
1 or 2 clicks every 3 minutes
yeah click and lot away
i just hope they implement faster speed on auto clears
well that makes it a little less tedious
it doesnt really force you. it's just a feature you can use.
mmos force you to spend as much time as possible playing them, so of course half the game becomes spending as little time possible to do everything
cue dungeon parties kicking you because ur crit rate is 0.04% below the recommended
or you moved 5 pixels to the side crossing x area
all of them

kick abuse can get you banned
so if that happens, just report the group
okay ;;
im downloading the trial i guess i'll give it a go
the only thing you'll have to tolerate is the cutscene skipping
because nobody wants to watch those
why lol
are there a lot
if you run a dungeon for the first time, it usually has story cutscenes
yeah ppl can't let first timers enjoy it
so if you have a newbie, the entire group has to watch it
and people dont like that
those are the toxic players
i dont mind it
everyone was new at some point
but some people get really mad about it
to the point where they try to vote the newbie out
but cant u
solo the dungeon
first time clear should be solo lol
i'm horribly out of date when it comes to ff14
or add npcs
with all the great development why not add a half decent npc ai for those
i was going thru the first grind with 3 randos too
i like being tank but i cant trust my internet
bcs i am going to lag and lose aggro and kill everyone
healer is same
is this the new trending anime pose
i saw two other pictures 15 minutes ago just like this
one of alter heroine x
and another of some other waifu idk
yes because of the new servant 

hey there fellow azur lanes


Is bullying of Amiya encouraged?

some pepega on other discord
=32 catas


I mean
Id get it

You might as well buy it
When you have E2ed who you want to
Cause red shop will reset
And the free p1 is gone
What type is the boss for d2?


@ripe mantle why the fuck why isnt your SA s3 on support smh
weird it said it was on s1
Ye but i dont use him
i think friend units can be limited by your units
Yes
ahhhhhh
i managed to clear 5-3 challenge mode in practice
the timing was super tight though 
Nice


i could E2 saria with ease rn
no i'm gonna wait until my ptilopsis is e2 to guarantee the win
wee texas pot




i'm still missing pamiat, but i got my 6th avrora dupe, and 7+8th grozny dupe
i haven't gotten a top op in like a month
Feel my pain Luna.
Doesn’t feel good does it? Having the shittiest gacha luck imaginable?
i do the bare minimum
the 5* rate is awful
Man imagine complaining about getting 5*s from Recruitment.
apparently people have pretty much confirmed that there's some shady algorithm behind recruit tags
once nightmare gets added to recruit pool, the super common tags that guarantee her pretty much never show up together anymore

the best you can do is to just burn them all asap
3 a day keeps my resources sky high.
I just get lazy.
also quick finishers too, i just use those immediately to reroll
Especially knowing how shit my luck is on recruitment.
sucks that we have until next thursday

i really wanted angie too so im ballin
Every time I fail a stage or get bad gacha luck, I’m bullying the dumb donkey.
wait i thought you had all the characters already

TL;dR?
It's rigged

Franka u bully 
do you guys have an equipment list for Azur lane
like a google doc for all ships
i got a friend to start
and he wants to be efficient

i used this
outdated still 
/equiptl
Equipment Tier Lists
🔹 General equipment guide by Kawaii Five-O#2305
🔹 Equipment guide and tier list by gurosebe#4054
🔹 Ship-specific gear list by cyberFluff#9161
🔹 Equipment picture guide by Nerezza#7031
use /tierlist for list of ships TLs and guides
use /eqtips for list of helpful guides regarding equipment

away for a few days my ASS
wtf
im always nice..
but poot keeps pinging me like 5 times when im trying to rest bc i have a fever
Hope you enjoyed my Arknights meme :)

Spent an entire month creating concepts, storyboards, keyframes and finally editing. I finished it on time before the deadline. I can now have a relaxing moment. ( ´∀`)
BGM used are made by zagi2 from freesound.org
it's also where I find some sound effects (ㆁωㆁ*)
pixiv: pixi...
e2 me synd
It's more challenge modes
Nah it’s just inside a passenger ship
u could atleast pretend


You are all degens
Wait let me take a pic
u know in skadi event
how there was like
bonus maps at the end
its like that iirc
their entirely new maps
But it’s on the same page as ch5
you wont see them till reset i imagine
prob cus of timezones
myrrh event means another 2 chip catalysts i dont have to farm

i just started working on e2 eyja
then angie after
luckily i got most eyja mats already which was supposed be to be saved for skyfire
so just alot of lmd and xp to do
i just need SA and saria and i got every 6* in the game
i got my first franka and provence today but idt i have a use for them
all these non rate up 5* pulls but neither of them is skyfire

azu did u see my pulls
No
i whaled 30$ double and monthly HH and did 5 multis
got angelina, provence, franka, p2 mayer and eyja
then bought ifrit
Pog

I would like to try for Chen since she’s up and seems synergistic with Swire ironically.
But yeah, maybe next paycheck I’ll dump a little more into trying for her.

doing refills to get eyja e2 before annih 3
feels like ill need her
and yeah swire + ch'en good combo
well, swire + any dps guard really
the only thing im not a fan of rn
is how i need to farm like 30 green skill books
im completely emptied on green
I would also like a Ptilopsis
I wonder if Saria, Ptilopsis, and Chen would make Swire have a mega high uptime
yeah they would
ptilo mostly
idk the exact ratio but i do know
if a skill is 90s recharge
ptilo e2 makes it 69s
i already E2ed ash lol
super feels bad
well cant complain
i made 20m
and im down to 6m again 
bought so many glamours and finished decorating my mist house
saria E2 is cute
E2
whats the options
¯_(ツ)_/¯
gimme options ill pick smth nice
saria, croi, siege i suppose
hmm
anyone else is filler and not important
though choice between siege and saria
i think you'd get most out of siege, since saria +2 cost, even though saria e2 is powerful
wondering if I should E2 Ifrit, or start working on 5*s

is it that much of an increase?
well her s3 is occasionaly nice, and the talent increase helps quite abit on her dps
i say her s3 is better when soloing long lanes
ill flip a coin
other ops I could work on would be... Texas, Cuora, Platinum, maybe Red
id do ifrit e2 personally
shes useful in annih 3
theres strats utilizing ifrit as the main operator
she wasn't bad in Anni 2 for that matter. ;p
fair 'nuff
hm... I need a good 3-8 strategy

theres a spot you can put ifrit in annih 3 where she faces right down and hits 3 lanes at once
so basicly like 4-5 tiles at once
but she needs a healer to babysit her when in that spot
my ifrit has 1185 attack with sora lmao
wew lvl 77 in AK
Sarias E2

My first E2
I stopped using OP for Sanity.
Would rather take it slow while I’m not in a rush.
saria it is
im getting my 10 refills done before reset now
need to farm so much for eyja e2
shes e1 lvl 40 atm
Idk who to E2 anymore.
ooh. Ifrit was the hero of that run
i need to farm 24 green skill books, alot of lmd and xp, 2 caster chips, 1 chip catalyst and some random mats from ch 4 to finish 4 polym prep
"what's that, Skullshatterer? Your patrol path is the -entire- five spaces in front of Ifrit here? And we can drop a bird from Nightingale to keep you busy?"
Well. I slep now
much burny followed
now I can farm polyester from somewhere that's not my wardrobe
lol
3-8 is a really good map
good drop rates
im missing err
lets see
btw
i think it starts today
god, farming 24 green skill books is gonna be so annoying
Synd i have a fever 
wait but u get manganese on reset dont we
oh i thought it was today bc maint
aki
hoshi event in 7 days

whats wrong
how am i supposed to be protected from air blade mech
when there's no one to stack wtih

poggers
my eyja is slowly getting there
reckon 2 days of refills will be enough
so today reset and tomorrow
hoshiguma and.. swire
right
Ifrit's story is cute
i like reading their trust stuff

ifrit is their adopted daughter
im trying to teach my friend new summoner and it's just so hard lmao
they dont understand it at all
FF14 summoner?
ya
they basically changed everything, yeah

but that's okay, I didn't know how to play it before!
my friend has a hard on for summoner aesthetics and glamour
tried to teach her new smn
and they just.. dont get it
i tried my best
I only have one because I got it free with SCH
they like the bahamut, phoenix etc stuff though
HW summoner relic best weapon glam in the game, fight me
which one is that
the book with purple wings on it
still working on leveling up everything
when you're feeling bad about whaling on a gacha remember that michael bloomberg spent 18 million and rolled 0 delegates in virginia
the only jobs i havent lvled is rdm, paladin and warrior bc i dont rly like their gameplay
my lowest is NIN at 53

portal boss
used it after the side colours hit
then realized i was in the path for the same color
right as it finished casting i got hit and died
lol
yeah she is
someone mentioned manganese at reset?
when the myrrh skin event starts
5 manganese ore first day
but idk when it starts
i think it starts in 7 days with hoshiguma event
dang. I need 6 for Ifrito
yeah justice, ugh
i dont like justice, i hardly ever use dd's
my last 4 SR cats has been 3 justice, getting rly annoying
the what

otherwise known as my skyfire yellow cert fund
working on finishing eyja e2 mats atm
need to make 4 polym preps
don't die to corona on your trip poot

This needs to be pinned for this General here
@flat palm 
One who arrived from Japan to our country is diagnosed positive with Covid-19...
Goddamnit, as if we haven't got enough things to worry anyway
but their quarantined right
if its already your time to die then you die. you dont need to wait for covid to infect you
maybe if i get infected i can get reincarnated as a cute girl
i dont think thats how it works luna

you dont even die from it lmao
Cute zombie girl 
unless you're old and/or you have aids
i get sick every winter. you get used to it.
@flat palm who knows how many got infected by that guys? They were on the same plane.
nope
Japan. What a joke. I thought their medical system would be good
and they were separated from China by sea.
@warm bluff do you believe in nirvana?

im suffering
you're telling me i need to farm 24 green skill books to sl7 eyja
fuck off
some things you just dont want to spend sanity on
got that right
i guess i should do the 3rd stage for books
i alrdy got like
40 blues
good news is i finished eyja e2 mats
so i can go back to farming lmd and xp now
i need lmd, glue (catalyst), and a certain chip. none of them are available today 
so i just farmed rma
fuck you, discord
oh yeah
ap-5 locked today
rip
i need 2 runs of that too
lmd also locked oof
now wtf do i do
i guess books.. zz


nightingale op
imagine spending sanity to farm 24 green books
but eh, worth it, i find sl7 too valuable
to not skill on my main team
i always get them to 7
ya same
ca-3 is pretty decent green books
3 runs is 10 green
so 60 sanity for 3 green
assuming you convert the white ones
that is expensive af
yeah but its not like theres any better ways to get all these green books i need
20 san for a shitty book?
well, 3 books
i got 2 more refills today, hopefully enough to finish my books and do a few ls-5
need to farm alot of lmd
but my eyja is e1 lvl 50 so getting there slowly
then its right on to angelina e2 after heh
Get your own money you bum.
Being alive is expensive
Figured. The companies behind GFL and AK has super bad blood between then apparently.
wait what lol why
So a Collab put of the blue just sounds faked.
Has to do with the relationships of the heads of the company.
lol figured 
Finished E2 Angelina
Yeah so I have heard. Time to save up resources again lol
i have the mats to e2 ch'en, saria and seige
but no lmd

no time to spam sanity pots sadly
I don’t have the resources or anything to E2 anyone right now.
I have a ton of Sanity pots though.
That I’ll probably be spending a ton of on EXP
KEKW
Time to come into work with a mask
Can I have your AK account if you rip?
Did it get banned yet.
Whew
Is anyone a believer in our lord and savior, Atago?
Yes, but there is only one Two if Roon finds you
There are many in my beliefs.

I havent played yet

what server r u even on aran
my friend's told me "hyperion"

Lol
When you want a top op tag so badly your brain comes up witj a feverish dream where you get a top op and a senior op in two different slots

Poot is getting escorted to Azcaban
I still fucking need the Russian ship in point milestones

time to binge watch
wait, but what if you can overdose on anime 
or what if the anime is berserk 2016
lol
can i get a wall poster of AL factions instead of a single character
it will make my room less weeb looking but something nice to look at
that too would also be good
i currently have nothing decorated on my walls atm due to embarassment
Dont be embarrassed

The like very few decorations i have are touhou pased
Based*
They sit right next to the frame for my degree

good idea Frayya
we need Faction insignias
Id totally take an EU one
I have a ff14 wall scroll I keep rolled up
I actually need to clean a bit
But 
This is my favorite piece of decoration in my room
That nagato
thats taco
i broke my camera on my phone, its focus is crap
I went with nagato cause of the tori gate
the artist i bought that takao from also had nagato, regrets not getting her too

Oathing lolis 
The ninetails art is easily my favorite decoration.
It was a gift to me
those are some great friends you have
She also made me an absol figurine
dang, makes more than one type of thing too
im slowly hoarding all this merch i got but they're all in a plastic bin in the corner
i want some practical merch
so
turns out i just did 40 pulls
and i got two 6*
but they weren't eyja
i'm not looking forward to any new units, so i figured i might as well just try to get the one i do want



i also got blue poison and earthspirit
i really needed bp
i was sitting on 160 OP that had no purpose
only thing i regret is not buying the last pack. i kinda forgot about those.
just converted OP directly
