slim cairn
#

Meanwhile im going through disney twisted wonderland and I noticed I have the same issue with it like ffxiv

#

I don’t do most of the things that would help me level up

#

And I don’t read

plucky cairn
#

FWIW I did a rulette in light and it all went well, so it seems like here it works decently well for now

He hadn't played many FF games before, Ironmouse and other things made him play 8 and then 7. And then his cyclethon charity donation thing reached 1 million, and he promised to try ff14 if it did. Will be fun to see what he thinks about it rdsnrk

elfin wave
#

let's GOOOOOO

hasty kayak
#

i think today is the day ponkverycontent

plucky cairn
#

Oh, happy to see the game gave your character back

hasty kayak
elfin wave
#

i should probably start my weeklies...

#

At least, now that the game isn't being nuked from orbit

sterile condor
#

fs_fascinating i should prob do the weekly handins before dt

hasty kayak
#

oh thats right, ill have to swing by customs later, i do have their story done but i want those purple scrips all the same

#

well, two outta three, i dont think i have the third ew one unlocked yet

#

if memory serves with how shb had it that would be gated by later msq patch

sterile condor
#

mewGiggle i dont even remember if i completed last expacs, but im starting to have cleaned up everything else

hasty kayak
#

i am very into custom deliveries penk

sterile condor
#

i just gotta cap the last couple of classes and beast tribes, and maybe go grab my missing cards (and do customs which i had forgot about)

#

namazu_burn and force the group to do all the ex's and blu content

elfin wave
#

The group? YuriLurk

sterile condor
#

mewGiggle the one youre explicitly the mt of

hasty kayak
#

MY BOY ||PIPIIIIIIIIIIIN||

elfin wave
#

i really need to drag you guys into O12S kicking and screaming so i can get the omega mount

hasty kayak
#

im happy to

sterile condor
#

paissapretty you got a pic of the mount? im on work wifi so dont wanna be mass googling ffxiv things

#

i dont recall if its one i got/if so how easy it is to grab

sterile condor
sterile condor
#

oh ye, you need like 3 people to get that, including a shield healer ideally

elfin wave
#

I would have the O4S one too but SOMEBODY ROLLED HIGHER THAN ME

#

not naming names

#

I sound bitter but i'm not, lmao
we also spent like a solid hour slamming our heads against that so we decided to do it another day

#

and then proceeded to never do it again

hasty kayak
#

MY BOYYYYYYYYY

elfin wave
#

fucking DRK main-ass

hasty kayak
#

oh shit, incidentally picked the perfect job for this questline huh penk no worries ||tataru, my goldsmith hammer|| is on da task

sterile condor

Can't compare to yuyuhase

hasty kayak
elfin jackal
#

Dw that quest is nice

hasty kayak
#

||WAR main emmanellain|| sure is a sight penk

hasty kayak
#

i. feel like this is only the slightest of bits less conspicuous...

plucky cairn
#

It's really funny coming after the alliance raid right?

#

Clearly the ||tweleve|| were a lot better at disguising as animals to walk unnoticed

hasty kayak
#

"we're just here for the annual furry convention"

#

this is absolutely hilarious i love it

#

"theres no way they'd wear such ridiculous outfits"
slow pan
||soroban: alas.||

#

||suzaku|| nO

plucky cairn
#

It's excellent

elfin wave
#

this could be iiiiiit

#

the legendary triple liner

hasty kayak
#

back after a break, and oh no not again

#

it took me so many tries last time dont make me mecha anime agaaaain

elfin jackal
#

Dw

slim cairn
hasty kayak
#

alas my unpopular opinion remains consistent

elfin jackal
#

Stormblood had the omega raids

hasty kayak
#

ah. of course. i forgot the devastation

slim cairn
hasty kayak
#

have you seen the poor man, give him a break

slim cairn
#

Have you seen ||Emet-Selch lose everyone he cared about and having to suffer?||

hasty kayak
#

NOOOOOOOOOO BLOCKED BY MSQ AGAAAAAAAAAIN

#

the curse strikes again, augh augh

slim cairn
plucky cairn
#

Also might be because his VA is very fucking expensive

elfin jackal
#

who's his VA?

plucky cairn
#

He's Roose Bolton from Game of Thrones.
The VA name I don't remember, let me look it up

#

Michael McElhatton
Yeah I'm never gonna remember that, he's still great tho

elfin jackal
#

i don't know either of those names

hasty kayak
#

i am keenly feeling that sense of bein dressed ill for the occasion lmao

elfin wave
#

nahhhh

hasty kayak
#

and now for something completely different. we return to inspectorial shenanigans ppinkieverycontent

elfin wave
hasty kayak
#

oh that is perfect

#

"an abductor!"
slowly pans

#

i need that mount

#

exceedingly

elfin jackal
hasty kayak
#

can we keep him please

minor sorrel
hasty kayak
#

this theme is positively ace attorney

slim cairn
#

Almost had a mental breakdown teaching math, brings

hasty kayak
#

i had ridonara lighthouse earlier today

#

simply tell the kids to play ff14 n theyll know prime numbers in no time

elfin wave
#

pop quiz is 1 a prime

elfin jackal
#

discord not letting me spoiler a gif

elfin wave
#

you'd have to download it and then post it directly as an image, i think

hasty kayak
#

"oh, ye, the popular mmo ff14. yeah it has collectin powerful weapons, sure. oh, what the current one looks like? uuuuh."

#

"i swear its not that weird in context..."

elfin jackal
#

no it is that weird in context

#

manderville weapons are frickin weird

hasty kayak
#

they may be weird but them dragon punchies look sick

elfin wave
#

the last step is cringe but i think the second step for WAR is rad

elfin jackal
#

last step is just techno

elfin wave
#

suits SGE but that's about it

hasty kayak
#

there are quite a few great lookin weapons in there (with ye, most of them in that second step, as hc says that second war looks so gooood), but for me that's far down the line in post dt world lmao. id like to try get the glowy step of dragon punchies before dt (though i dont think ill really use it? i just want them to sit prettily in my glam) and the rest we'll see

plucky cairn
#

It's a good place to sink your tomes

#

Since you don't have to do anything

#

You can pretty easly do that during DT as well once you are caught up with the hildi quest

hasty kayak
#

alas i still have quite a lot of leveling to do and you dont get these tomes from roulette if ur not 90

#

that may change in dt, if they do switch to poetics

plucky cairn
#

True

#

You could dedicate the lvl 50/60/70/80 rulette to get tomes

#

it's 100 tomes a day, which isn't enough alone but maybe supplemented with a few lvl 90 alliance could be enough to get you over the finish line for at least one weapon before DT

#

Or you could rush MSQ to get access to lvl 90 and expert rulettes

hasty kayak
#

we'll see, its not really a goal for me at the moment but maybe ill change my mind. either way itll still be there post dt in some form

plucky cairn
#

I mean at this point to be fair

hasty kayak
#

though i am runnin outta stuff so, yes, msq will happen

plucky cairn
#

You barely have anything else except MSQ left to do

#

You have a Deep Dungeon, 2 variant dungeons

#

Tataru's quest which is MSQ gated

hasty kayak
#

once i get hildy wrapped up which im hopin to do tomorrow, i think msq is next in order

#

once msq is done i can get tataru closed off n then itll be, proobably back to bozja

plucky cairn
#

15 is coming, with the action trailer

hasty kayak
#

poor poor bozja hangin there semi-forgotten

plucky cairn
#

If you managed to get through MSQ by then you could even follow the media event without risks of spoilers too
But a week is probably not enough

#

It's a lot of patches

hasty kayak
#

that poor researcher still ||held captive|| this is worse than when i left ||krile in the fridge for three weeks||

#

yeah a less than week on msq is, duubious. then again i did average one patch per day in the past expansions? but these feel like theyre a lot more ready so they take longer, i dunno

elfin jackal
#

don't you already have the 90 roulette?

hasty kayak
#

no it wants me to complete two more dungeons

#

that are somewhere in msq

elfin jackal
#

rip

#

i didn't think it needed you to have all of them

minor sorrel
#

Playing ff14 now

#

Ah, groupies everywhere LUL

rough crescent
#

who is this?

#

just tuned in and all he does is skip cutscenes

minor sorrel
#

A member of the Trash Taste podcast, and someone who hangs around with a lot of the big vtubers. He hadn't played many FF games before, Ironmouse and other things made him play 8 and then 7 which he enjoyed. And then he recently did a cyclethon charity donation thing which reached 1 million dollars, and he promised to try ff14 if it did. Will be fun to see what he thinks about it rdsnrk

#

Though he's pretty known for skipping cutscenes and to be fair, i think he's at the "travel around all cities" part of ARR

rough crescent
#

uh huh

hasty kayak
#

if he skips cutscenes who cares about his opinions...

median ridge
#

yaebounce_chickenjagoo No point in playing a Final Fantasy game if you're gonna skip the story.

minor sorrel
#

I think he's watching the scions-related cutscenes but some of the smaller stuff less so

elfin jackal
#

I'm tired of hearing about some famous people playing ff tbh

#

For a long time no one would shut up about asmomgold even before he said he'd try the game

plucky cairn
#

It is nice when big people play it because it usually brings more people into it

#

Ffxiv is a hard to sell game, given the time investment to get to the end, it needs all the help it can get

elfin jackal
#

yeah i'm just kinda jaded after hearing everyone talk about this streamer who said he'd never play the game

#

and then everyone talking about him when he played the game

plucky cairn
#

Don't really like asmon but there are a few people I really enjoyed watching going through the game

elfin jackal
#

I watched Lueroi's videos of shadowbringers, those were fun

#

or

#

idk wtf his name was

#

LUCRON

elfin jackal
#

that's the guy

plucky cairn
#

Jesse Cox is just a lovable lore goblin so there is that one, PreachGaming is pretty wholesome too.

hasty kayak
plucky cairn
#

Speaking or famous people, of course I also like following friends going through it

elfin jackal
plucky cairn
#

Grinding Gear are also very wholesome

#

Oh yeah I watched this person as well

elfin jackal
#

the compilation is good

slim cairn
#

I like watching this person go through the game

hasty kayak
#

more dear inspector shenanigans, i love ||bradihild|| with all my heart. i need him as a minion stat.

#

"do you even math"

#

i hope ||hildy|| doesnt have an existential crisis over this penk pat pat ur still my adored

#

oh nooooo game why did you kick me out

slim cairn
#

Cause you are too addicted

elfin jackal
#

ddos back?

hasty kayak
#

well the queue was 130 ppl so that likely wasnt my internet that was hiccupin, but looks like it was just something brief

elfin jackal
#

yeah it hit us during a haukke run, dancer got full dc'd and both tank and healer got hit with an attack they would have dodged otherwise

hasty kayak
#

GAME NO WAIT-

#

GAME

#

game you cant do this to me now ill have to start askin ||when i can main my gsm in duty roulette||

#

... oh dear. i got kicked oit again, that bodes ill

elfin jackal
#

oh dear

#

i managed to finish my business on chaos so that's at least something, but

#

gonna be rough if i kicked while doing In From The Cold

plucky cairn
#

Try to come to light, maybe it'll be a bit more stable

elfin jackal
#

(in my case it's an aether character i'm playing on rn)

plucky cairn
#

Australia is always an option

elfin jackal
#

i wouldn't really want to try that quest on oce latency tbh

plucky cairn
#

From what I heard now it's a lot less difficult

#

On release it was hell tho

elfin jackal
#

i remember

plucky cairn
#

But they did hit it with the balance hammer a few times

elfin jackal
#

i did it first try on my main tho

#

probably not day 1, i take a bit of time

#

was a shitload of emotional damage tho

plucky cairn
#

It took at least a week before the first balance changes, so more like, launch window

#

Agreed

elfin jackal
#

i remember i got to pandemonium late but i don't remember why

#

oh i think i remember now

#

i wanted to do all the role quests to the end before going to the final area

#

so i levelled 4 jobs to 90

plucky cairn
#

Pandemonium was 2 weeks after release

elfin jackal
#

(smn/sch counting as one this time)

#

yeah i think the levelling process took me long enough that i was like, a few days, maybe a week late to it

plucky cairn
#

Makes sense

elfin jackal
#

or maybe i had a mental breakdown that slowed me down, i can't remember

#

but it's very likely

#

considering how much endwalker BROKE me

#

in from the cold gave me a full on panic attack and then i was in stressed out mode until i just broke from everything around vanaspati and following

plucky cairn
#

Endwalker is pretty heavy

elfin jackal
#

yeah, i was fine for shadowbringers but then. Endwalker.

#

tho bozja and weapons also fucked me up a bit

plucky cairn
#

From the Cold is such a master stroke, I kind of wish ||we were the random imperial for a bit longer tho||

elfin jackal
plucky cairn
#

I mean it fits ||zenos to play with its food, especially if it's you, and also the whole point was to slow the Scions down while they accumulate aether in the tower, so what they did fit that goal.||

hasty kayak
#

okay lets try this rp duty on light then...

plucky cairn
#

What I really like tho, is that ||it's such a good way of fucking with the player||

elfin jackal
#

it's too good a way for that

plucky cairn
#

||It's your character, you invested an inordinate amount of time into it, to make it look good, to learn to play it, to gather cosmetics, gear, mounts, heirstyle...take it away from you is like the most violating thing they could have done...which is why I think they didn't take it away for long, we'd legit have had people holding resentment if you were in that situation longer than that quest||

elfin jackal
#

it breaks people

#

it was too far, is the thing

#

but also, funny idea i had

#

||Zenos: takes over your body
Zenos: falls aseep
WoL: "Oh, yeah, it does that sometimes."||

#

narcoleptic WoL

#

||just the idea of there being some problem with the WoL's body that they've completely adjusted to but Zenos is completely unprepared for is kinda funny to me||

plucky cairn
#

I don't think it was too far personally, it was uncomfortable but while you tell a story it's okay to make people that watch it a bit uncomfortable.
||If anything Quintus suicide is probably a lot closer to what I'd say was a bit too much without a warning, that said, a warning would have probably ruined the moment in some ways...||
Maybe a good middle ground is optional trigger warnings if you enable them in the options at the start of a zone

elfin jackal
#

thing is you can never know what other people feel and what they're bothered by

#

but i've noticed a common pattern with some people being really bothered by that quest

plucky cairn
#

Maybe a good middle ground is optional trigger warnings if you enable them in the options at the start of a zone
I wonder how hard would it be to make a plugin that does this

hasty kayak
#

huh. i dont remember shadow existing

plucky cairn
#

New DC? I wasn't aware we were getting a new one

hasty kayak
#

and that crashed my game lmao

elfin jackal
#

yeah shadow was added during the hotfixed

plucky cairn
#

I will be very annoyed if tomorrow the server are exploding

elfin jackal
#

dunno if you can log into it yet

plucky cairn
#

From the lodestone

#

In preparation for Dawntrail’s release, a new logical data center, Shadow, will be added to the European Data Center.

We will be monitoring the number of concurrent logins to determine the opening date of Shadow Data Center Worlds, which will be announced at a later date.

#

Seems like it's not accessible for now

hasty kayak
#

aah, fair enough

#

wonder if thats causin the kick outs today

plucky cairn
#

Probably they plan to use it as an overflow in case they have trouble, they can turn it on and people can transfer there and hopefully have an easier time

#

Especially new players that might pick up the game from DT release buzz

hasty kayak
#

aaaaaand lich failed me durin cutscene skip load (bc i already saw it, two times). back to kcd i suppose

plucky cairn
#

People on reddit confirm it's not just you either

hasty kayak
#

oh gosh darn it, i cant believe its purely connection issue's fault im not caught up with msq yet, that sure sucks

#

anyway im off to rob a grave

slim cairn
#

Smh

elfin jackal
#

i finished the quest

#

next up, dungeon

plucky cairn
#

Is it stable again?

elfin jackal
#

dunno, i'm playing on NA rn

plucky cairn
#

Hm, reddit is one hour since anyone complained bout the DDOS so it's probably fine

#

Will probably log in a bit to do some daily stuff

hasty kayak
#

hmm, soccer´s a crazier sport than i remember

#

(yay da game work again :>)

elfin jackal
#

i'd watch it if it was more like that

hasty kayak
#

im sure most sports anime look this way, and surely anime would never lie to me about reality

#

i dont know why but the dialogue options where punctuation is the only change are always so funny

elfin jackal
#

lmao

elfin jackal
hasty kayak
#

i mean, he isnt wrong about me havin that penk

#

the million idk if i have that particular roll

elfin jackal
#

it's good music

#

eden 8

hasty kayak
#

i do love that we're a sports anime protagonist now

#

SCORE!

plucky cairn
#

The whole sequence murdered me

hasty kayak
#

WOL says ||fuuuuuuuuuuuuck sharly||

hasty kayak
#

you know when i learned ||dragons are aliens, sure, weird but sure, but ur tellin me my adored misshapen potato of a guy hildy is semi-alien too???||

#

appropriate.

elfin jackal
hasty kayak
#

YEET

#

WOL NO

elfin wave
#

WOL YES

elfin jackal
#

i tried out the "yes" option and ||Hildi basically went "Hah, how very funny. ......Please tell me you're joking."||

hasty kayak
#

it is late, so this shall be fought another time

#

banger design tho

compact ibex
#

||was honestly wondering if Asura was ever gonna be in the game. Having it bea Hildibrand boss was unexpected, but still great.||

#

man, people do some crazy shit with housing

sterile condor
#

PepeHands its a shame housing is such a pain in the ass to do+has such a low item limit, we snagged a large for our fc and haven't done anything with it and because everyone else keeps telling me its my job to deco it for some reason

elfin wave
#

Tails really did me dirty Sob

plucky cairn
#

But I get why, since the exterion must be visible by the whole ward

sterile condor
#

the external isn't visible to the entire ward, it has a pretty short render range

#

and internal is fine for small/medium, large its like tiny tiny

plucky cairn
#

Yeah but it's potentially visible to everyone, for me the loading time is already a bit long when I load into my house

#

I assume the more stuff you allow people to put outside the worse it gets

sterile condor
#

mewGiggle i mean, they're upping the item limit next expac with graphics update, idk how much though

compact ibex
#

had a dream about ponies last night, but with some FF14 mixed in

hasty kayak
#

ooh, now that you mention it i remembered i also had an ff14 related dream. though i only remember me trying to adjust a glam and not knowing which gloves to use

compact ibex
#

there was some kind of big party going on at a manor, but Tirek shows up and fucks shit up, but when some FF14 dudes show up to fight him, he remarks that he's being summoned away, and leaves. later on, he's found in ||pandaemonium trying to eat the aether from the monsters held there while also effortlessly beating them down||

#

sadly my dream never has a proper conclusion

#

honestly, i can think of a way for MLP to have like one of those trial series in FF14

#

a really old journal is found at a shrine, and it's basically the friendship journal. the journal has dangerous magic in it though, and takes the form of 3 of the villains from the show after the magic is released. would probably be Discord, Tirek, and Chrysalis

hasty kayak
#

8 wol friendship laser beam go brrrrr

compact ibex
#

that would actually be badass

#

is auracite kind of done with, or could it potentially be used for something like this idea?

elfin jackal
#

I remember having a dream recently which ended with me fighting Zenos

#

But before that it was about my ex being ok

hasty kayak
#

<@&1128722919405650000> anyone interested in helpin me knock out ew hildy's fight tonight?

plucky cairn
#

I have to pass today, minor headache but don't feel like playing

elfin wave
#

can i tear myself away from PokeRogue for like, 15 minutes?

hasty kayak
hasty kayak
elfin wave
#

AW FUCK I ENCOUNTED A LANDORUS
Okay yeah I DEFO have to take a break

#

right let's dropkick some gold bitch or other and then i can get back to suffering

hasty kayak
#

your honor i adore them

#

nooooooooooooo

#

DEVASTATION :cccccc

elfin jackal
#

a bit close to death there

hasty kayak
#

yes. YES. YEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS

hasty kayak
#

truly the best of timelines

#

and with this im essentially done with all the stuff i wanted to do most (the other two variants and deep dungeon im not as time pressed for, i/we´ll do them whenever, probably after bozja), which means starting tomorrow the msq catch-up begins

elfin wave
#

Yup! Glorious mount.

hasty kayak
hasty kayak
#

bets on whenever im up to date with msq before end of the week penk i give it a good ol 43%

#

because mmmmmm reaper leveling

elfin wave
#

depends on how hard you go

#

because there's a decent chunk of instanced content from 6.1 to 6.5

#

Just checked, 5 dungeons and 4 trials

#

... they really backloaded EW huh deheheNep

#

oh and as a bonus: none of those are optional.

#

So like I guess you were right in your assertion of finishing all the EW side-content
Joke's on you, the MSQ just decides to put 20 MSQ instances

#

actually fuck i forgot that you already did the first (MSQ, not ||Stigma or Smileton||) post-EW dungeon, iirc?
knock that down to 4 dungeons and 4 trials

hasty kayak
#

beefy

#

welp i hope u enjoy pings lmao

elfin wave
#

i think we did the first post MSQ dungeon

#

i don't rember

#

i recall responding to your reaction to the aftermath

hasty kayak
#

ye i did, i think u were busy at the time so that might b why u cant quite remember

#

but ye im in pre-6.2

elfin wave
#

ahhh, that'll do eet.

#

Yeah, 4 dungeons and 4 trials then.

hasty kayak
#

at least dungeon queue is a non-issue in our numbers n trials dont take all that much time once queue pops

#

itll b fiiiine

elfin wave
#

Plus there'll be people doing Level 90/Expert dungeon roulette too.

#

Even if we can't get up to a light party, I mean.

hasty kayak
#

honestly as long as i have someone to tank queue is nonissue

#

penk tankxiety stronk

elfin wave
#

I have run every 90 dungeon as WAR to an excessive degree

#

so like i basically know how every pull and mechanic works at this point

#

also it's kinda funny
you heard the second EW dungeon boss theme earlier in that trial?
yeah that's a dungeon boss theme HEFSAmeWheeze

#

||Asura|| didn't even get a unique theme or even something like a remix of Battle on the Big Bridge

elfin jackal
#

yeah i hate that

#

denied Soken's magic

elfin wave
#

tbf

hasty kayak
#

#justicefor||asura||

elfin wave
#

that boss theme do go hard

hasty kayak
#

i do love the dun dun dun dun dundundun of ew

elfin wave
#

just
you know how there were FFIV references in 6.0?
they are not stopping

elfin jackal
#

At Blade's Edge and Finality are both amazing

elfin wave
#

if anything post-EW just doubles down and decides "fuck it, we're FFIV now"

elfin jackal
elfin jackal
hasty kayak
elfin jackal
#

that's in dawntrail

hasty kayak
#

well ye thats how I interpreted it penk

elfin wave
#

god listening to that dungeon boss theme again
like I want to like Insatiable more for being like, original

hasty kayak
#

because dt is post ew

elfin jackal
#

idk i dislike the second boss theme a bit because it feels so generic

elfin wave
#

but i can't argue that Soken fucking made a masterpiece of an iconic boss theme

#

maybe i'm a sucker for trumpets

elfin jackal
#

well post-ew usually means it's still ew but the credits already rolled

elfin wave
#

(i have no attachment to FFIV, I just am a nerd and look up way too much shit)

hasty kayak
#

ew is such a funny shorthand i still cant decide whether "eevee" or "ewwwww" is funnier pronunciation

elfin jackal
#

i also have no attachment to 4 but the game i'm making is in part based off it

elfin wave
#

DT still fucks me up because like
pony server so it could mean Diamond Tiara

elfin jackal
#

idk what that is

hasty kayak
#

silly hors pat pat

i only know like, 4 horses

hasty kayak
#

war, pestilence-

elfin wave
#

wait i know horses
uhhhh
prancer, dancer, rudolph, nightmare, kirin-

elfin jackal
#

i meant MLP horses, I have better knowledge of other horses

elfin wave
#

i'm aware, i'm being silly

elfin jackal
#

i owned a horse once

elfin wave
#

ffs i referenced reindeer as "horses"

elfin jackal
#

war conquest famine death

elfin wave
#

wasn't it war pestilence famine and death but conquest was one originally

#

(thank you binding of isaac)

#

... I was raised catholic and I legit learned more about Christianity from Isaac than I ever did from church

hasty kayak
#

i dont actually know bible all that much so ill leave the specifics to yall

elfin jackal
#

i think pestilence was the one that replaced conquest

#

and then Good Omens gets rid of Pestilence and puts Pollution in that spot

elfin wave
elfin jackal
#

i just know discworld

#

discworld is good

elfin wave
#

regardless uhhhh
wonder what the mount series for DT will be

#

Maybe something more reptillian?

#

(i mean, we had dragons for ShB but I mean like, actual lizards)

hasty kayak
#

my beloved amaljaa drake but more elementally? yes please

elfin wave
#

that would be funny

elfin jackal
#

i want more titles that are used in the story

#

like Rider of Dragons, Savior of Ishgard, Griffin's Bane

elfin wave
#

WHERE IS MY STEALER OF PANTS TITLE

elfin jackal
#

Yeah that too

elfin wave
#

YOSHI PEEEEEEE

hasty kayak
#

y e s

elfin jackal
#

i left it out cause it's funnier if someone else mentions it

hasty kayak

and my ||feo ul|| sch glam

elfin jackal

i just want more carbuncle glams tbh

elfin wave
#

Warrior of Light is simple

hasty kayak
#

AND THE HYDAELYNSDARNED FUNCTIONAL BAIT BAG

elfin wave
#

"oh it's so basic" SHUT UP I LIKE WAR

#

"Warrior of Darkness" would also work

elfin jackal
#

"Behold, the warrior of light!"
Me: using the power of darkness "Sorry, did you say something?"

elfin wave
#

average DRK main

elfin jackal
#

so funny to run porta decumana as drk

#

cause Lahabrea is like "you have too much light" and i'm like "no"

hasty kayak
#

i think we should get more alliteration. i propose "furry fury"-

elfin jackal
#

that only works for the fluffy races tho

hasty kayak
#

solution we make everyone fluffy

elfin wave
#

why does Trailer WoL change their job so much

hasty kayak
#

but also race gated titles could be kinda neat

#

we have job ones already lets make it a step further n annoy ppl

elfin wave
#

it doesn't even make sense in ShB/EW because they don't show off the new jobs-

hasty kayak
#

i want chaos and carnage

#

he wants you to see his glams

elfin wave
#

ok thematically DRK in ShB yes yes i get that

hasty kayak
#

he worked very hard on them

elfin wave
#

and I guess PLD suits EW

plucky cairn
#

I am just mad he never did a mage job

elfin wave
#

clearly he and krile should swap for DT

plucky cairn
#

I do want him go for healer in the expansion after DT

hasty kayak
#

beats you with a ||paintbrush|| like a club

elfin wave
#

"ok krile have this two handed blade thing, i'm going to start painting"

elfin jackal
#

i don't like trailer wol, he's boring

#

why do they have merch of him

#

like, it makes no sense

#

he's not in the game

elfin wave
#

I MEAN TECHNICALLLLLLLYYYYYYYYYYY

elfin jackal
#

||doesn't count||

elfin wave
#

||fartberd is a WAR so he counts in my heart||

elfin jackal
#

||he's a different guy||

#

||just look at them, they're different people||

elfin wave
#

crack theory what if ||Ardbert|| dies in the ShB trailer and the ShB/EW WoL are from a different guy

hasty kayak
#

speakin of jobs i have once again been reminded how much im lookin forward to ||beastmaster||

elfin jackal
#

have a post-SB screenshot of what i'm doing now except with the wrong character

hasty kayak
#

i really want to cram at least starting blue mage somehow into post-msq-catchup-pre-dt period

elfin wave
#

regardless of it all i like how they reference the Answers cinematic in ShB and i just want that

elfin jackal
#

for real tho why merch of the trailer guy

elfin jackal
#

it makes no sense

hasty kayak
#

hc, you have met me

elfin jackal
#

if they had an actual character then it would make sense

elfin wave
elfin jackal
#

but people like their own characters, not the generic dude

elfin wave
#

he's The Dude on The Marketing

hasty kayak
#

surely you understand i wish to subject ppl to 4 blu dungeons/those carnival things

elfin jackal
#

he's not in the game, no one asked for him in the stuff

hasty kayak
#

i think itd be funny

elfin jackal
#

carnival is single player

hasty kayak
#

elfin jackal
#

you can drag 7 other people into savage tho

hasty kayak
#

i dont know if i hold quite that much power of friendship lmaoo

elfin jackal
#

probably not

#

i wouldn't be willing to go through that

elfin wave
#

btw BLU is up to ShB and that does include ||Innocence|| and at least one ||Eden raid|| if you want to 100% spells sip

#

it's not that bad in theory

hasty kayak
#

honestly i just wanna get at least started on it, we'll see how interested i am in completin it

elfin jackal
#

blue mage only has one good thing about it and that's

everyone, oooor?

plucky cairn

yes I think, but I wasn't completely DCd, just hard lag

#

That led to a wipe

hasty kayak
#

ah

plucky cairn
#

Ok now I am DCd

hasty kayak
#

i swear ill go play msq in australia or something

#

since apparently eu is the one gettin hit the most

elfin wave
hasty kayak
#

yeh

plucky cairn
#

I mean, if it's the occasional trial or dungeon, I don't mind going there, the lag isn't that bad

#

Damn

#

I mean the boss did die somehow

#

despite the fact I got DCd mid fight

hasty kayak
#

well that's kinda disappointing lmao

plucky cairn
#

agreed

hasty kayak
#

still, thank you two pat pat

plucky cairn
#

we should try Materia for the next group activity

hasty kayak
#

ill finish this cutscene n then move to australia yeah

plucky cairn
#

I'll park the character there

#

And go eat something

#

Or maybe not

hasty kayak
#

uh oh

plucky cairn
#

I'll try after I ate something

#

Ok it let me transfer back

#

Probably it was because the server had a queue after the DDOS attack, you can't transfer to servers with login queues

hasty kayak
#

awww, ud make a cute mount

#

oh hiiiiiii ||zenos-voidsent||

"oh absolutely! as a monk i show affection by punchin, n boi lemme tell ya did i have some delightful fisticuffs with my buddy pal ||zenos||"

How are you lvling?

hasty kayak

well so far ive just been doin roulette for rpr. startin tomorrow i guess ill repeat run whatever the highest level is that gives tomes, n when i hit 80 ill add hippos. maybe i can try khloe?

#

oh right, bozja is good for exp aint it

plucky cairn
#

That's true

#

That said the 2nd zone is

The first not so much

We could go do the dungeon to unlcok it, since HC is lagging with that

I'll join with the farm if you do dungeons or rulettes and I'm around

refurbisher is the one with lava quarter floor n pullin parts/adds around, yes? yeaaaaah im also bad at that one monkeysideeye2 i get it in roulette, we wipe, i read guide as we try clearin it, we clear, i read the guide again for a good measure... and then forget everything before i get it in next roulette. rinse and repeat

Refurbisher is easy because I always play with Halvar and he carries the party through it rdsnrk

i was going for a "well rounded inventor" theme but eh, i'd probably like doing something more true to the job instead

has EW content due to Mentor roulette pulling from all corners of FFXIV https://youtu.be/6NAlwl55PFs

Another glorious week of Mentor Roulettes in Final Fantasy XIV! How many dungeons will I get dragged into this time? Will we finally see our first EX Trial? Who knows! But what I do know is that there sure are a lot of bosses in this game with mechanics that I don't remember.

@plucky cairn for that tome farming today, do you wanna go to australia, or are we gonna risk eu since itll have more players around?

im about to log in so im free to team up whenever you get home

queue seems short enough so im gonna be on phantom for now

#

oh boi

plucky cairn

Up to you, if we go bozja we kinda have to go EU basically, for other stuff we could risk aus

itll b fine

elfin jackal
#

i usually solo

elfin wave
hasty kayak
#

sure!

plucky cairn
#

I have been to that level many times solo, it will be chill

#

Besides it's one of the levels you can still die and continue until you reach it

#

It's only 110 and over if you game over you have to start from 1

elfin jackal
#

or 51, unless you're going for necromancer

plucky cairn
#

We can even start at 50 actually

#

Yes

#

I was going for it but the dude at lvl 180 had other plans

elfin jackal
#

same

#

i think 170 is the highest i've gotten

plucky cairn
#

As war the bosses are relatively easy, the level is hard because you kill very slowly

#

Except the behemoth because you have low DPS and it's a DPS check

elfin jackal
#

Yeah

#

i ended up screwing up the 170 because i was out of time and panicking

plucky cairn
#

Yeah died a bunch of time on the way, I attempted 180 3 or 4 times

hasty kayak
#

okay, i ran one alliance raid before the reset and it went smoothly, so i think we can stay on eu today

plucky cairn
#

I will be home in like, an hour

hasty kayak
#

sweet, ill b waitin on phantom. rpr is 78 so imma go do that quest n then i have tribes and custom deliveries

elfin jackal
#

whatcha gonna do?

hasty kayak
#

just roulette n event stuff, i imagine we'll tick off the mogpedia sans potd (?) and do roulette, n then its probably gonna b spammin whatever is on the list n gives good amount of tomes/xp for my rpr. so i guess ||orbonne monastery|| and ||amaurot||? depends what specifics gen would like n how time will permit

elfin jackal
#

Sounds fun

hasty kayak
#

ur free to join up if ud like of course ppinkieverycontent more the merrier, tho again we'll start in like an hour once gen gets home

latent vapor
#

Honestly, it's a good thing the chose that as the ultimog challenge. I never reached floor 100 before today. Today, it took maybe an hour or so, starting from floor 61.

elfin wave

Wait, from 61 to 100?

compact ibex

i mean if you had to herd cats you would go crazy too

elfin wave

i dunno how long he'll be

#

@steady saffron ETA on being home to play PoTD, pls? FlanPoke

plucky cairn
#

If we'll be 5 with him, we should knock out the 4 people stuff early

elfin wave
#

will it be 5? ConfusedFrogge

plucky cairn
#

If we are 4 there is no rush

#

I was under the impression Kay was gonna hang out, but I might have misread

elfin wave
#

Ah. Shische.

plucky cairn
#

Now I notice she didn't say anything of the sort, I might just have projected stuff

elfin wave
#

it's not like we need 4

#

it'd be ideal for idk reasons

plucky cairn
#

I assume he'll want to kock it out as well for the mogpendium tho, so might be more efficent

#

We could just go do the normal rulettes while we wait

elfin wave
#

ah my aetherpool is 12/11

#

nothing strange here

hasty kayak
#

whm gen truly do b havin that drip

plucky cairn
#

that's blue steel

elfin wave
#

btw hi-devil is on

#

so we can start potd after we beat up daddy- i mean, gaius

plucky cairn
#

It's kind of funny that you are fighting ||Gaius with the art of his ancestors||, but like, dressed as ridiculously as posssible
It's like if you show up to kill the samurai that killed your family, but with a plastic toy katana

#

He must be extra mad in this version of events

hasty kayak
#

it could be worse. i could be a disrespectfully glammed gunbreaker.

#

:3

plucky cairn
#

That's not quite the same, since gaius isn't technically a gunbreaker

#

They kinda stole the gunbreaker thing and modified it to actually have guns in their gunblades

#

I am still endlessly amused that in this world, the word gun comes from the word gunblade and not the other way around

elfin wave
#

OH MY GOD

hasty kayak
#

gotta love especially dedicated cosplayers

elfin jackal
#

oh i had a party invite oops

#

been afk for hours

sterile condor
#

it also doesn't help that mentor is easy enough to get that its basically a "the player has been playing for 2+ years or has just farmed for crafting mentor"

elfin jackal
#

kinda had to make it accessible when they decided to attach some form of content or reward for it

sterile condor
#

theres no real content or reward tied to it, the roulette gives almost no reward barring the crazy crazy high requirements for doing it

#

also you really dont need to make it accesible for it to have a reward, that just makes the reward rarer

elfin jackal
#

idk i think the conditions should be stricter but it should be entirely altruistic to be a mentor

sterile condor
#

i mean, theres no real way to make it more accesible without making it "rarer" and more desireable as a result, its mostly fine as it is

#

possibly some character is x days old or some such to stop people just using it as a way to get back in novice network once they lose sprout

#

something relatively short like 2-3 months, not something crazy

compact ibex
#

So then why tf do people even take the mantle of mentor besides for its intended purpose?

elfin jackal
#

ego

sterile condor
#

you get a funny crown and access to novice network if you want it

#

as i said it is extremely common for sprouts to farm for crafting mentor (since its basically "has maxed a crafter or two" nowdays) just so they can get back into novice network since they either still want help or just want access to a "global" chat

elfin wave

"also this fight is like 20 minutes long"

https://youtu.be/uVtZ8-XoOZ0 i think this video is entertaining in of itself, even if you don't care for actually doing Ultimates

The clockwork fortress that manifested itself in the far reaches of snow-swept Dravania did bear an uncanny resemblance to the great steel giant sung of in the legends of the Hotgo, an Auri tribe hailing from far across the sea. Inspired by this tragic tale of a mechanical god who placed his trust in a single mortal soul, the wandering minstrel ...

thinkin about reaper. is it possible that ||the voidsent you bind yourself to was azem's shard in the thirteenth? all we got is that WOLs of 13th got slowly corrupted n switched to seeking power, so i guess that just means they got to be the first voidsent. we dont really get to see the ceremony thru which a reaper chooses their voidsent, or if it even is a matter of choice, but logically most voidsent should kinda be clamoring to be a reaper's partner, right? on account of how much aether they get to consume. yet the process is kinda glossed over, which is weird because i sure would like to know more about the voidsent im literally offering my flesh to on occasion. which makes me wonder if its a matter of soul compatibility, ergo if perhaps you simply get whatever voidsent shares the ancient you got your piece of soul from. does that mean theres a possibility of a reaper unable to summon a voidsent if they got crystal-ed? how does duscilla factor into all this actually, how did orca manage to only eat her voidsent? shouldnt it, in theory, be possible to just perform whatever bounding ritual you did before n the voidsent essence pops right outta orca? how does voidsent eating each other work actually, do eaten voidsent get their aether irreparably changed, tainted somehow? they can still be summoned after all, like with scarmiglione. how are they both scarmiglione's aether n their own voidsent?? what if a new resper's voidsent is already eaten, do they just get a freebie get outta jail card or is it a "too bad, you dont get to be a reaper"???||

Interesting questions

#

At the point of the story you are at, what I will say is that the community main theory was ||for Zero to be an Azem shard, which would make sense for Zenos to try to bind to your shard given his obsession.||

I will of course not spoil which direction the story goes, it was just the leading theory at the time 6.2 dropped.

the community has a number of different ideas about that, and I get the impression mine isn't very common

It is a pretty fun class right?

#

Lots of buttons to press

#

Lots of colors popping

#

My brain is usually pleased

hasty kayak
#

the job is fairly fun. its no mnk n it feels like executin beeg combos is kinda slower (maybe i just need to level up n some passive will give me gauge juice boost, i dunno), though that might b an illusion. but its more fun than sam's casts and it's certainly simpler to grasp for me than the poor poor nin. and im very attached to the idea of farmer glam i think thats just delightful. it could maybe use some hotbar tinkering from me since it feels kinda clunky in places, ill have to take another look at my setup tomorrow

#

wish i could ||pull an endwalker|| and time travel back two years ago to change some buttons around, i really shouldve placed limit break at some harder reachable key than alt9 to free it up for example, but buttons like that aint rlly viable for change anymore since id say thats way too ingrained in me across jobs.

im still in 6.2 i am not acknowledgin this one lmao

#

I'll link the job action trailers later, watching it in bit and pieces now because I'm sadly too busy to give it my full attention

#

For MNK, what looked like, was that they added attacks and moves you could execute after your "riddle of" moves which sounds like a great addition tbh

yaebounce_chickenjagoo Monks have a new bar it looks like.

big update to Fantasia it seems

#

Seems like you'll be able to make adjustments for 60 minutes from using it

#

So if you use a Fantasia, remake the character, and once in game you don't like it, you can go back and fix it within the 60 minutes of play time

curious. im not watchin the letter so i assume theyll talk about this later, but i figure that for your entertainment ill dissect mnk section of job actions vid.

first thing first, holy shit if im lookin correctly mnk will have ranged now. you can trade one meditation stack for a ranged ball attack. this is wack, we no longer get to sit there spammin meditation stacks as we wait for boss to be hittable again.

that new mnk bar is clearly for forms (theres the lil coeourl, raptor and opo-opo heads) and you get the trio after your 1-2-3, but you gain-lose-gain that form's token if you repeat usin it. i wonder if the order has to be coeurl - raptor - opo-opo, because rn my setup (and the most used lunar-solar opening order) for 1-2-3 is opo-opo - raptor - coeurl. the one-two-three dots kinda indicates that yeah coeurl has to go first?

kinda sad that we no longer kamehameha lunar or fire phoenix solar, i liked those animations a lot n these new ones are fairly subdued in comparison... at least the 90 missile is kept?

actually it looks like they reworked the nadi system quite a lot, to be honest. solar nadi looks more like a buff than attack? lunar i think is aoe damage as before but its kinda hard to tell and could be also buff, just party wide instead of solar's self. gettin both nadis makes your meditation bar pulsate? and here's where the new bar comes into play, because if you have the form tokens active your attacks get different animation and are presumably much buffed.

the really interesting part is when one meditation token stays up after phantom rush and changes color, i wonder what exactly is happening there and if you can get all meditation stacks change color and if that leads to a different attack. it doesnt actually have anything to do with "riddle of" skills that i can see in the video? sorry gen, did they say that in the letter or something?

#

granted my data connection is shit at work and i dont have perfect memory for current animations so ill definitely have to compare this video to game when i get home.

#

ooh actually now that i think about it, i believe that if you have one or two from tokens active the one meditation stack will pulsate n do a weaker attack, and if you keep all three forms you get all med stacks pulsing and deliver ultra beefy attack, that would make sense because the character in video doesnt actually have all form tokens active when doign phantom rush portion

#

man the rotation is gonna get absolutely gutted again lmao

elfin jackal
#

The thing about them changing your favorite job

#

Is that it was your favorite job as it was

#

So any change is likely gonna be away from what you like

#

Which is why i always hope they'll keep my favorites unchanged

hasty kayak
#

from my understanding of memes monk changes every expansion anyway starlightwheeze starlightwheeze

elfin jackal
#

It's not ast

#

At the very least

sterile condor
#

yeah, monk has got like 1/4 of its kit changed minimum every expac

elfin jackal
#

Summoner has also gone through dramatic changes

sterile condor
#

HatPensive which is a shame, i liked stormblood monk

elfin jackal
#

But i like its current incarnation more than shb

hasty kayak
#

i cant tell yet if ill like this more or less, i dont wanna do the gut reaction of "eww new stuff change is bad"

elfin jackal
#

Still miss sb summoner, when carbuncle had a healthbar and it decided in the middle of eureka to abandon me and settle down somewhere in the wild

hasty kayak
#

it is my first time seein job reworks, so we'll see

elfin jackal
#

Not even joking, id be doing eureka and carby suddenly just ran off into the distance until it despawned

#

Was funny as shit

sterile condor
#

mewGiggle the pet healthbars were funny but painful

elfin jackal
#

Never figured out why it happenwd

#

Smn was way too squishy for me to be able to take on most things when i was a wee little sprout so i just kept topaz alive with physick

#

Tho back then topaz was glam exclusive

sterile condor
#

id imagine it was weirdly mapped topagraphy that caused it to path weirdly

elfin jackal
#

Maybe. It just ran off in a straight line.

#

It pulled a tataru on me

#

Funny as shit

All jobs 100 achievement reward maybe

plucky cairn
#

You know MNK much better than I, and mine was a reading on the moment as the trailer was rolling so you are definitely correct BTW

hasty kayak
#

i am not, from what ive read later penk there are apparently some riddle followups

plucky cairn
#

Huh

hasty kayak
#

i am back to "???" because apparently mnk will no longer be about maintainin ur buff n dot, but about correctly stringin actions to increase potency ponknothoughtsheadempty probably best to just wait n play this in game or somethin

#

i really dunno about that "feel of the job stayin the same" but if ya say so

#

i do not wanna feed the "eww changes bad" gut reaction gremlin so ill just try my best to see nonjudgementally what we get when dt drops

#

i assume yall are used to wacky large reworks but this is first time for me penk

elfin jackal
#

FEED THE GREMLIN

latent vapor
#

I think it's that the order of actions will likely stay the same, but you will not need to adjust to reapply dots when your rotation is interrupted.

hasty kayak
#

right, enough of dt future n back to lvling rpr present

#

i was plannin to ask btw, @steady saffron @elfin wave @plucky cairn would you like to knock out rest of potd tonight, or does ur schedule not allow that today n we´ll do it another time?

sterile condor
#

yeah, theres a reason its pretty normal to have a new main every expansion

hasty kayak
elfin wave
#

i'm up for it, dunno about the other two

plucky cairn
#

When I am home for sure

sterile condor
#

paissapretty i'm probably gonna be a gnb main, if i stick as tank since its the only tank i haven't mained in an expac

plucky cairn
#

You should check VPR bringi

#

Seems like it will inherit a lot from Monk

#

Gameplay wise

hasty kayak
#

i mean ill grab it in dt of course, but i didn't particularly understand the mechanics of it penk except "huh thats kinda slo- OH SWEET HYDAELYN WHAT IS HAPPENING"

#

looks more like rpr than mnk to me tbh

#

with the "wait for it... wait for iiiiit.... boom"

plucky cairn
#

They went through an excruciatingly slow explanation of VPR on stream

#

Seems like it will have a pretty free flow combo system

#

In the next few days I expect content creators who were give access to the class will break it down in a more comprensibile way

plucky cairn
#

Thank god my favourite joke is saved this expansion too

#

It goes like "in HWs they released MCH, DRK and AST, in Stormblood they released RDM, SAM and AST, in Shadowbringers they released GNB, DNC and AST...etc".

elfin wave
#

in DT they released VPR, PCT, AST and MNK

plucky cairn

Ok so you are in Heavenswards right? Which zones do you have access there?
