plucky cairn
Sorry, busy
hasty kayak
||nope i like fisticuffs lets go nerd|| 
plucky cairn
hasty kayak
game. can we. stop lettin antagonists just walk out on us. i cant believe im sayin this but ||urianger of all people had the correct idea of just throwin murder shit at people||. hell, ||thancred has a gun now. just fuckin shoot assholes when their back is turned||
yes im aware with this asshole it wont actually do anything
but STILL! this is about the principle
i want to at least mildly inconvenience him at every turn
anyway, where in the world is carmen sandiego ||y'shtola||?
or i guess it's ||matoya now for some wackass reason||
oh i spoke too quick for game again 
giv kitty friend
plucky cairn
She's the last one to go find
hasty kayak
i mean there is ||mainfillia but her entire situation is........ precarious so to speak||
given ||our vision as we fell into the first she should be. somewhere. on some plane of existence. hangin out. in theory||
||"though my power will be much diminished so far from the tower" thats another nickel for tower catboi exarch i guess. i still dont know what to make of his no name recollection claim. is it just a lie? what reason would he have for that though. is it brain shenanigans? i dont know||
byeee twins :c
i miss them already
aaaaaaaah its because cult reasons, okay okay
they really just made that up for trailer reasons havent they
elfin wave
have you hit la hee yet
hasty kayak
i dont think soo?
elfin wave
ah, i just see the talk about Cat Mom and thought you had hit that area
you'll know it when you hear it, lol
hasty kayak
ya around for those roulettes n still up for them, hc?
oh, oops. i had a call n forgot to turn monk on so i accidentally aggroed some mobs as pally n died. well thats embarrassing
plucky cairn
Today I can't start commitments because I might have to bail at a moment's notice, parents are doing a thing and might call for me to drive to them if they need help
hasty kayak
yeah of course, no trouble at all 
plucky cairn
And if it was just the two of us it'd be okay bit I don't feel good leaving a dungeon halfway through when randos are involved
elfin wave
ya around for those roulettes n still up for them, hc?
oh uh sure, i'm a bit tanked up but i'm sure i can do well
thought you did them solo already 
hasty kayak
nay im waitin for friend :>
hasty kayak
of course its prae
hasty kayak
again, if there's any class that armor fits to, sage is probably it
elfin wave
that and Machinist for the meme
minor sorrel
Mnk for the moves tho? 
hasty kayak
i may have forgotten what pink means
elfin wave
elfin wave
@hasty kayak you should get /highfive when the Tomestones event drops so we can hi-five without it looking like i lightly slap you, lol
also ty for party
elfin wave
I think it's about 50?
Ballroom Etiquette - Uncouth Congratulations
The alterantives are Market Board and the Firmament (so a lot of Gatherer/Crafter grinding)
i mean is just a suggestion anyway
Probably should go for the SB mounts first, since all seven of them are buyyable for 30 each (as opposed to previous events where one was for 50, and at much more stringent rates at that)
like, two Praetorium runs will give you 28 tomestones, for reference (along with certain Alliance Raids that i already forgor, lol)
hasty kayak
so, which tomestones is the question i should ask
elfin wave
Irregular Tomestone of Tenfold Pageantry
hasty kayak
oooh so those will be super special tomestones that will start existing once the event is underway
elfin wave
I should have clarified that these Tomestones are specifc per event and not tied to the regular ones
hasty kayak
ok ok i see
elfin wave
they'll be added to your regular inventory
I dunno what happens once the event ends, maybe they just purge the tomestones because they'll never appear again?
or they become complete trash that you'd just throw away anyway
elfin wave
oicee

Furthermore, from Tuesday, August 22 to Tuesday, October 3, the Warriors of Light Fame Pass will be available in Fall Guys.
elfin wave
neat plaza
or they become complete trash that you'd just throw away anyway
basically! when an event rolls back around i think you can turn them in again for previous stuff but if you have leftovers you prolly couldn't afford anything anyway
elfin wave
sliggi figgi

well i doubt they'll do another 10th anniversary one, lol

doman enclave restoration is such a fun side stuff to come back to every week

Accurate
hasty kayak
they rlly said ||"drk questline was too subtle we have to spell it out for the dumbasses so help me this anime game WILL make you a better adjusted person if its the last thing we do"||
i like this areas music tis so bouncy
plucky cairn
It's one of the best tribe quests IMO
hasty kayak
theres a doggie here and though im sad they dont have their own questline i will nonetheless accept this with highest gratitude
plucky cairn
They put all of the dog quest energy into Seto in SHB
elfin wave
SETO IS A GOOD BOI

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
unrestrained summer fun
12/10 tribe questline will slide again

POWER RANGERS

alright the anime explosion justifies this for me
elfin wave
hasty kayak
susano is such a treat of a fight
one day ill b brave enough for tank trials n then i get to do the giant sword time event
hasty kayak
wont i simply, die
i guess if i pop on mitigation juuuust right
but that probably just causes chaos
elfin wave
It's more of a healer check
By going under the sword you activate an Active Time thingy and can no longer use your actions
elfin wave
... i am shocked and how cute this miquote is
minor sorrel
It's the hat
elfin wave
It's defnitely the hat
wow this first Sage quest is really just like
"Okay, this might be your first Healer job, so just in case..."
meanwhile with AST you just ran around picking up cards and shooting shit
minor sorrel
elfin wave
the better twin
Lalah Jinjahl the Studious: Impressive! To see how well you wield your nouliths, one would not think you a novice!
Well......
elfin wave
Lalah Jinjahl: Good gods, such a dry and dusty place this is... What I wouldn't give for a bath right now...
Lalah Jinjahl: Uwaaah! H-How long have you been here!?
Lalah Jinjahl: ...I-I mean, 'tis well you are here. Ahem. I've already replenished my supplies, so if you are ready, we may begin looking for the apothecary at once.
I love this character.
hasty kayak
is it just bc im loggin on a bit later or is somethin im unaware of happennin 
usually its like. 11 why are u like this
elfin wave
Probably because its around reset time
Is this like
Pistols at dawn but for healers?
(and yes, I swapped from the goofy aaa Power Ranger armor to the Sage gear, I'm sorry)

plucky cairn
I don't think I can make it to ocean fishing but I'm generally free this evening for whatever else
Probably will be on in 20 minutes or so
elfin wave
Same as Gen, can't fish because od food commitment but I'll brr around afterwards for dailies or whatever

plucky cairn
My Internet might have exploded a bit
Already back up, see if I can rejoin
Yeah my internet seems to not be cooperating today
Had this problem the other day, I think they are doing some bullshit on the line
hasty kayak
looks like today's a rotten luck all round
plucky cairn
Either that or the heat is melting the infrastructure
Yeah no it DCd while I was mining, probably not a good day for FF for me
hasty kayak
hecc
elfin wave
Hekk indeed
plucky cairn
I will call it a day, hopefully it'll get fixed in a couple of days or I'll have strongly worded calls with my ISP
plucky cairn
I did mine the map so I'll keep it ready for next time

Oh. I didn't realise you could have one active map at a time
hasty kayak
not as unanimously great as drake or griffin but i can appreciate the silly
elfin wave
I'm glad I did this 1 man map myself 
y'all get your own fuckin' Insatiable copy
... Craziest thing is that I don't think I ever unlocked the Pixie quests
plucky cairn
Logging in

Ok I ate some sliced ham and melon while arguing on the internet, I am around if there is stuff to be done, no pressure tho
latent vapor
I actually won something
elfin wave
Is that THE Fat Chocobo
elfin wave
dapper meteor
Nah it's a mount that was in promotion with a chocolate company IIRC
Yeah, you got it by buying a bunch of specific chocolate candy
dapper meteor
I tried to get that but the retailer didnāt give me a valid receipt for it to qualify for some reason
So I just ended up with a bunch of meh chocolate for no reason 
latent vapor
They were supposed to notify the winners a couple of days ago, but perhaps it got delayed. And by pure coincidence, it is my birthday.

elfin wave
The rising event this year is the 10th anniversary and thereās a special Phoenix...
OH IT'S A MOUNT?!?!??!?!

So I'm watching The Bad Guys and of all the crimes they've done so far, STEALING MY FASHION SENSE IS THE best WORST ONE, I'M SUING

oh no the bri'ish are canon
elfin wave
Rising and the Tomestone event
minor sorrel
Rising *and* the Tomestone event
I seem to recall you recently bought an emote. What was it again? 
minor sorrel
I think so? 
elfin wave
called Advent of Light, if i recall
minor sorrel
AH no, it was the finger snap
elfin wave
"Oh this alliance raid can't be too long, can it?"
35 minutes later

i think i need more gil
minor sorrel
wow these 120 tomestones are going to be a nightmare to get if i get *14* from o...
I feel like the previous event gave slightly more?
magic burrow
Gridania the best
hasty kayak
i barely remember previous rising (i was on like. day two of playin the game) but this distorted answers music is so chef kiss
elfin wave
It played during the last moments of 1.X
hasty kayak
i know of that one aye
elfin wave
AYO NEW MOUNT?
hasty kayak
nice work
elfin wave
THIS IS RAD.
hasty kayak
extremely cool 
elfin wave
Now to do 400 more to get the title "Of Unbreakable Steel"
hasty kayak
why is it always ||darn lalas|| as the villains
game ur ten years old surely we moved past ||antagonist lalas||
you got ||hyurs n elezen|| shakin for that role c'mon
minor sorrel
Nah. They are obviously the embodiment of pure evil
hasty kayak
o ye youtube recommended this to me today, very neat https://youtu.be/N2Cy_5pQXIc?si=5e04EHmCbdeiE0MM
elfin wave
ok that's rad
hasty kayak
||MOMODI LETS GOOOOO||
elfin wave
wait are you doing MSQ or what
hasty kayak
nay the event
hasty kayak
AAAAAAAAAAUUUGH ||WHY IS IT ALWAYS TWILIGHT OVER THANALAN YOU CANT KEEP DOING THIS TO MEEEEE||
do these lyrics look like ||expansion references (includin dawntrail)|| to you also or am i reachin here
this was very cool
oooh this accopanyin side quest looks also fun. this screenshot got some hella nice vibes
minor sorrel
Feels like WW2 posters
hasty kayak
i wish we still had a way to play 1.0, even if it was by ppl's accounts a lowkey trashfire maybe as a redux or somethin, though i suppose that would require a lot of work n resources on squeenix's end
minor sorrel
You don't, it was just baaaad
magic burrow
do these lyrics look like ||expansion references (includin dawntrail)|| to you a...
It is pretty clearly the reference yeah
It probably didn't translate very well. It makes much more sense in Japanese.
||Heavensward is "Ishgard of Azure Sky", Stormblood is "Crimson Liberator", Shadowbringer is "Pitch-black Villains" in Japanese||
hasty kayak
i like that in this side quest you ||give a correspondin salute to the lieutenant of your grand company that's a nice detail||
elfin wave
wow okay today was a good haul
3 mounts, a new minyon
magic burrow
Dawntrail is "Golden Legacy" btw
elfin wave
3/5 pieces of the last NieR raid Tank gear 
minor sorrel
@elfin wave I forget, to get the irregular tomestones, you gotta queue to those raids/dungeons/etc individually and not roulette?
elfin wave
You can get them through roulette
minor sorrel
hasty kayak
this is such a @slim cairn quote
hasty kayak
@elfin wave gen mentioned not bein able to play til tomorrow, so how about we do them dailies together?
elfin wave
Sorry, i have plans
hasty kayak
no prob
forget alphi's katana purchase this is a scion transgression im never lettin anyone forget
i thought we were friends in catness....
oh playin matoya's theme in ||"matoya's" cave||. you are so cheeky, game
hasty kayak
got haukke manor in levellin roulette. forget brayflox i hate this map way more had zero memory of how to navigate it which is not ideal when ur a tank
minor sorrel
@elfin wave What does your roulette window look like? When I look at raids I see just level 50 and 60 stuff
elfin wave
wdym
minor sorrel
I wanted to use roulette but only options it seems to give are level 50 and 60 raids, despite higher level ones being available
hasty kayak
thats how raids tend to be, sadge
i love pally's hallowed ground i love not havin stupid rules like dyin unless u take damage or bein set to 1hp afterwards n simply sayin "ahahaha erm acktually no u" and just not takin damage period
hasty kayak
i always give commendations to a monk if i meet one in the wild punch kinship
minor sorrel
minor sorrel
Hm, just did Tower at Paradigm breach. Still don't have them available in roulettes, same with rabanastre and co. Did all three... my guess is i have to do the full questline T_T
Ah no it's just how it appears in roulette. Novice network says that's just the default lowest level, but you can get a higher level raid
elfin wave
Ah that'll be it then
I forgot that was the minimum required level
i thought you meant like
"there's a list of raids i can get and none of them are above 50"
hasty kayak
insert that "you dont want to know" bird sticker here

stupid ||y'shtola cult|| with stupid ||death rituals|| and stupid feelings

It really helps that the nail the music in all these scenes
elfin wave
insert that "you dont want to know" bird sticker here
is ||Bitch-Ass Emet still stalking you||
hasty kayak
i mean yes and no. he got bored but by his admission he's probably stalkin me from ~the shadows~
i prefer the ghost stalker over the asshole... but at least they're both still better than midgardsormr
whom i murdered in a roulette today btw that fight is always satisfyin
elfin wave
SO NO RESPONSE TO
"You have commited the cardinal sin of boring me."
hasty kayak
have you tried readin back log
elfin wave
ok fair
plucky cairn
I was more surprised by no reaction ||to the fact that you just say "KupĆ²" as you have weapons aimed at you in a very tense situation||
And more importantly, did you pick it?
hasty kayak
no
plucky cairn
This is the reaction if you are curious ||https://youtu.be/GqDV-vdeLag?t=84||
hasty kayak
eh. it didn't really register as funny or anything theyre not a particularly liked race of mine
i just picked the dots
elfin wave
piss off kupo
elfin wave
That entire scene nearly made me cry
Protip: there's a forest of letters in Ul'dah with some "anonymous" letters from other devs if I recall.
Yes I read the Soken one, of course I would
The fact he calls himself merely "humble" is a sin against composers.

anotha doggo down
The TPD (Time Per Doggo) is pretty insane, honestly
Just over an hour.
Two Alliance Raids and a hit at P9-12 gets you over 30, slap on a few podcasts and it flies by
hasty kayak
they look neat!
elfin wave
Tomorrow I shall have the UberDoggo
and then i'll like get
idk
the trex mount or something
hasty kayak
i did 2 full duty roulettes, got 48 total from those, which isnt too bad given i dont have acess to the most valued content. i wanna get high five first n foremost, then we'll see
elfin wave
Well, you do have the last SB Alliance Raid, that still gives you the maximum amount of Tomestones
hasty kayak
i would like the five star wol triple triad card
hasty kayak
Well, you do have the last SB Alliance Raid, that still gives you the maximum am...
mmmm but i dont wanna grind
elfin wave
plus i haven't been doing Main Scenario so I could probably slot that in, pray for Ultima and get ez tomestones
yeah, that's fair too lol
honestly i've just been doing roulettes myself
hasty kayak
duty roulettes themselves take like two hours on a good day n if i usually play four hours a day thats a large chunk
and. you know. shadowbringers msq is breathin down my neck hauntin me, hard to ignore it
(or its sweet delicious side quests)
i am quite happy that im able to keep up with all of my classes level wise, even drk as my lowest is 75
that's gonna make the shb job quests less time consumin when i get to them
(turns out shb tribe quests, or at least the pixie one is beefy on exp points i think i gained at least three full drk levels that way)
elfin wave
If you want to do all the ShB Role quests you will have to pick up a Healer
oh and for EW you'll need a Ranged Physical DPS (Though I think you have Bard so that might cover it)
well i mean
"need" in big quotes
it's worth doing each story on its own and doing all of the gives you some bonus lore quests~
you can just do one for ShB and I think in EW it's totally optional

hasty kayak
UNLIMITED
POWERRRRRR
is 640 the current hardest content? like, do ya do savage stuff? or unreal or ultimate im not quite clear on which is the worstā¢
elfin wave
I think the content ladder is
Savage < Unreal < Ultimate
I'm not quite sure if Unreal is actually harder than Savage though
Though I do know Ultimates are The Endgameā¢ļø
like
8 man static group grinding away for hours and hours to beat ridicously long and difficult raids
elfin wave
is 640 the current hardest content? like, do ya do savage stuff? or unreal or ul...
also i have no idea lol
i think the ILVL cap is 650 rn with the p9-12 gear but since you can only obtain 1 gear piece per raid per week it's a long grind
and it's like
helmet, gloves and feet is two pieces
chest and legs are four each
accessories are mercifully one per slot
the weapon is its own thing since beating P12 (or any other 4th part of a raid series) gets you a weapon part
it's SEVEN for the current P9-12 gear
for me though the ILVL and gear is nice but I like doing the raids because They're Funā¢ļø
... i say all this and i forgot to check if i could buy the final doggo FUCK
magic burrow
iirc Unreal is a bit weird, it can be harder than Savage
Extreme trials and normal raids are like near the end point of casual playthrough. Savage is where casual and hardcore players crossover.
elfin wave
also keep in mind i've not attempted ANY savages synched
magic burrow
Unreal and Ultimate are both pretty much in "hardcore users" area, and thus they don't give you significant power boost, that's how they designed it
elfin wave
i've done a few unsycnhed (I think i've done all of Alexander unsynched)
magic burrow
Savage is also where users start to have statics
elfin wave
but you know
I don't have friends to unsycnch facetank anything beyond that
magic burrow
I only cleared P1 in Savage
magic burrow
I tried to grab a static but I am bad at such social interactions so
magic burrow
I like statics in MMORPGs, they are like the peak experience of MMORPG
But it also requires certain degree of social interactions
elfin wave
I kinda forget that Shake It Off gets buffed if you have Bloodwhetting/Vengence/Thrill of Battle on since it drains them and adds to the shield
sterile condor
all the unreals ive done werent that harder tham doing the exetremes on release
hasty kayak
as i understand it, static is a term for permanent group? ala us doin dailies together?
elfin wave
yea
magic burrow
yea, but usually it's a term for hard raids
elfin wave
typically it's a full 8 man tho
hasty kayak
thats why i said "ala"
magic burrow
So they play raid together every week and try to beat hard ones, many also use VC
elfin wave
There are two kinds of tanks...
magic burrow
Static is significantly better than non-static when trying hard multiplayer stuff
Random party is...often pain
elfin wave
"I VILL BE YOUR SHIELD" vs. "I tank for the queue times lol"
(I say that but people are hard farming P9-12 because of weekly reset + tomestones so i'm pretty sure even a DPS would get instant queues)
magic burrow
The biggest problem with MMORPG is that I don't have friends
elfin wave
MOOD
hasty kayak
magic burrow
The biggest problem with MMORPG is that I don't have friends
tbf, more like multiplayer games in general
Like hell, even fucking League is super fun if you have 4 friends to play together
What? you are doing a solo queue? lol good luck
elfin wave
<a:ponksnapped:643691595614519297>
i mean
i'm doing endgame stuff while you're still in ShB and i just like solo queuing Sometimesā¢ļø
i can focus on the grind with a podcast
hasty kayak
its not really that bad, you can do stuff in between queue...
magic burrow
ffxiv random queue is usually more decent compared to most games
magic burrow
WAR and RPR
elfin wave
I think a month ago i was levelling RPR
magic burrow
do DRK and you are THE EDGELORD
elfin wave
as my first Melee DPS job

as a comprimise i do have it on my phone tho

if you noticed P5 is a lyricless version of it

the wiki lists it dropping from ||abyssos: seventh+sixth circles||

Must be a super low drop rate if it drops on the regular P6-7 then

I just did 6 and didn't see it drop

I've done P5-8 enough to have two sets of Abyssos armor, fyi
(though that second set was purely for glam because PURPL FIAH)
minor sorrel
oh is that the set with the purple ring?
elfin wave
Ye ye
I don't know what class gets the purple ring but i know that tanks get a red ring
maybe the savage variant allows you to dye the flame? idk.
sterile condor
i haven't seen any dyeable particle effects in the game before, but it could be a first
elfin wave
I'm logging in now to clean up dailies, I can check
oke i just checked
you can dye the Abyssos Mythos armour but it doesn't change the flame colour
Ah, Maiming is the one with the big purpl ring

This bit is IMO why people praise SHB so much, they took the stalest trope possible in the game, the most creatively barren part of the story, ||fucking Organizaton XIII lookalikes ascians and through Emet they gave them a clear objective, and a logical reason as to why they want it.||
And not only that, ||they are trying to fix shit, wait that's MY job, I try to fix shit, if I was in their place I'd be trying to fix shit too...they made them sympathetic to a degree...even tho no less villanous||

Okay understand that "just cashing it out" happened 4 years later. compared to Hws post patches
4 years in which they were just this nebulous organisation with nebulous objectives and nebulours reasons as to why they want it.

For a very long time they were just the *Squareenix generic bad guy"

If its still that way at least
When he cast the big skill that give all people a bunch of damage and debuffs
There are black holes around the arena that suck you in and stun you if you go near them
If you are inside one when it happens, you don't get hit by the big attack
I think it's that boss at least, been a while
hasty kayak
okay finally finished, LISTEN
our problem was takin banjillion years to understand the first mechanic
prime casts red and blue bubbles. they are tethered together, and which tether is shorter goes off first. red bubble go to the side where the tether isnt, blue bubble stand in the center. that alone took at least four tries to figure out and another three to pull off dodging consistently (our healer was a first timer to the boot so they took a bit to get the running right, god forbid if they had lag. i was lucky i went with ninja so shukuchi teleport was at my disposal.
the other problematic mechanic was players getting tethered together, which we needed to break by runnin away from each other n that also took us maybe two tries. the other mechanics were okay. but it took sooooo long to combine everything n survive

Early October if I recall
I think they did announce a release date but I might be wrong
plucky cairn
Basically if you count one month, the next tuesday is usually it
I don't think they did officially yet
People guess because the event usually last a month
hasty kayak
since im not as concerned with gettin everythin. honestly, i wanted the high five on hc's insistence n the one triple triad card i lacked from that list, i have both now. the rest i guess ill throw on the dogs. though i would still like to try those trials someday. maybe when 7.0 is out with new level cap or somethin
anyway, since that dungeon roulette lasted like 90 minutes instead of 25, i think ill go to bed
