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

man ||agrias|| must be so bored waitin over a day to fight my WOL in orbonne.||"but have you the faith to fullfill his legacy?"||
MMMMMONKEY
silence
"uuuuuh okay i guess you dont"
Seems like this person contacted support and should be solved tomorrow.

fingers crossed
i had a half day dentist n half day off work today, do u have any idea how much reaper i wanted to play

On the bright side, I stumbled on this on twitter ||https://fxtwitter.com/CrimblySun/status/1787616552042570108||
||>ala mhigan barding||
ooooOOOooOOooh
a bright spot in all the suffering afterall!
@slim cairn look look
:3
I hate you
:3
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 
let's GOOOOOO
i think today is the day 
Oh, happy to see the game gave your character back

i should probably start my weeklies...
At least, now that the game isn't being nuked from orbit
i should prob do the weekly handins before dt
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
i dont even remember if i completed last expacs, but im starting to have cleaned up everything else
i am very into custom deliveries 
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)
and force the group to do all the ex's and blu content
The group? 
the one youre explicitly the mt of
MY BOY ||PIPIIIIIIIIIIIN||

i really need to drag you guys into O12S kicking and screaming so i can get the omega mount
im happy to
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
also i keep seeing this emoji from the corner of my eye and it just looks like a really cunty rarity
oh ye, you need like 3 people to get that, including a shield healer ideally
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
MY BOYYYYYYYYY
fucking DRK main-ass
oh shit, incidentally picked the perfect job for this questline huh
no worries ||tataru, my goldsmith hammer|| is on da task
Or just a bunch of tanks
yeah, as i said, shield healera
Did I ever show you his JP voice?
ya
Can't compare to yuyuhase

Dw that quest is nice
||WAR main emmanellain|| sure is a sight 
i. feel like this is only the slightest of bits less conspicuous...
In fact it might be worse
It's really funny coming after the alliance raid right?
Clearly the ||tweleve|| were a lot better at disguising as animals to walk unnoticed
"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
It's excellent
back after a break, and oh no not again
it took me so many tries last time dont make me mecha anime agaaaain
Dw
The break was to hang with me, but they still think stormblood was a good expansion
alas my unpopular opinion remains consistent
Stormblood had the omega raids
Oh so you can forgive him apparently?!
have you seen the poor man, give him a break
Have you seen ||Emet-Selch lose everyone he cared about and having to suffer?||

Dude is so ||retired that he didn't even partecipate in anything in Garlemald, he is fucking done.||
Also might be because his VA is very fucking expensive
who's his VA?
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
i don't know either of those names
nahhhh
and now for something completely different. we return to inspectorial shenanigans 

no you're the only one who understood the assignment
can we keep him please

this theme is positively ace attorney
Almost had a mental breakdown teaching math, brings
i had ridonara lighthouse earlier today
simply tell the kids to play ff14 n theyll know prime numbers in no time
pop quiz is 1 a prime
discord not letting me spoiler a gif
you'd have to download it and then post it directly as an image, i think
"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..."
they may be weird but them dragon punchies look sick
the last step is cringe but i think the second step for WAR is rad
last step is just techno
suits SGE but that's about it
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
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
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
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
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

haha. no
though i am runnin outta stuff so, yes, msq will happen
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
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
15 is coming, with the action trailer
poor poor bozja hangin there semi-forgotten
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
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
don't you already have the 90 roulette?
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 
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
uh huh
if he skips cutscenes who cares about his opinions...
No point in playing a Final Fantasy game if you're gonna skip the story.
I think he's watching the scions-related cutscenes but some of the smaller stuff less so
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
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
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
Don't really like asmon but there are a few people I really enjoyed watching going through the game
I watched Lueroi's videos of shadowbringers, those were fun
or
idk wtf his name was
LUCRON
me, of course
that's the guy
Jesse Cox is just a lovable lore goblin so there is that one, PreachGaming is pretty wholesome too.

Speaking or famous people, of course I also like following friends going through it
This is a compilation of all the introduction sequences I have made for my Shadowbringers 5.0 MSQ Playthrough series. It's been a very long ride for me--mostly due to a ridiculously self-restrictive mindset regarding it--but I'm glad to have experienced it either way. Though this may be due to a bias of how much time I've sunk into it, but Shado...
the compilation is good
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
pat pat ur still my adored
oh nooooo game why did you kick me out
Cause you are too addicted
ddos back?
well the queue was 130 ppl so that likely wasnt my internet that was hiccupin, but looks like it was just something brief
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
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
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
Try to come to light, maybe it'll be a bit more stable
(in my case it's an aether character i'm playing on rn)
Australia is always an option
i wouldn't really want to try that quest on oce latency tbh
i remember
But they did hit it with the balance hammer a few times
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
It took at least a week before the first balance changes, so more like, launch window
Agreed
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
Pandemonium was 2 weeks after release
(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
Makes sense
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
Endwalker is pretty heavy
yeah, i was fine for shadowbringers but then. Endwalker.
tho bozja and weapons also fucked me up a bit
From the Cold is such a master stroke, I kind of wish ||we were the random imperial for a bit longer tho||
idk i feel like it's just trauma for the sake of trauma, it didn't really do anything for the story
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.||
okay lets try this rp duty on light then...
What I really like tho, is that ||it's such a good way of fucking with the player||
it's too good a way for that
||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||
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||
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
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
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
huh. i dont remember shadow existing
New DC? I wasn't aware we were getting a new one
yeah shadow was added during the hotfixed
I will be very annoyed if tomorrow the server are exploding
dunno if you can log into it yet
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
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
aaaaaand lich failed me durin cutscene skip load (bc i already saw it, two times). back to kcd i suppose
People on reddit confirm it's not just you either
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
Smh
Is it stable again?
dunno, i'm playing on NA rn
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
i'd watch it if it was more like that
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
lmao
"Let's eat, grandma."
"Let's eat grandma."

i mean, he isnt wrong about me havin that 
the million idk if i have that particular roll
The whole sequence murdered me
WOL says ||fuuuuuuuuuuuuck sharly||
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.
explains a lot, doesn't it? Which makes it even funnier when (spoiler) ||it turns out that no, they're not semi-aliens.||
WOL YES
i tried out the "yes" option and ||Hildi basically went "Hah, how very funny. ......Please tell me you're joking."||
||was honestly wondering if Asura was ever gonna be in the game. Having it bea Hildibrand boss was unexpected, but still great.||

bird.
People actually made that. Huh.

man, people do some crazy shit with housing
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
Inside the items limit is kind of okay, outside it's awfully restrictive
But I get why, since the exterion must be visible by the whole ward
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
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
i mean, they're upping the item limit next expac with graphics update, idk how much though
had a dream about ponies last night, but with some FF14 mixed in
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
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
8 wol friendship laser beam go brrrrr
that would actually be badass
is auracite kind of done with, or could it potentially be used for something like this idea?
I remember having a dream recently which ended with me fighting Zenos
But before that it was about my ex being ok
<@&1128722919405650000> anyone interested in helpin me knock out ew hildy's fight tonight?
I have to pass today, minor headache but don't feel like playing

all good, feel better soon boop
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
a bit close to death there
yes. YES. YEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS
UN-DEVASTATION :33333333
hehee
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
Yup! Glorious mount.

bets on whenever im up to date with msq before end of the week
i give it a good ol 43%
because mmmmmm reaper leveling
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 
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
i think we did the first post MSQ dungeon
i don't rember
i recall responding to your reaction to the aftermath
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
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

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.
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 
||Asura|| didn't even get a unique theme or even something like a remix of Battle on the Big Bridge
tbf
#justicefor||asura||
that boss theme do go hard
i do love the dun dun dun dun dundundun of ew
just
you know how there were FFIV references in 6.0?
they are not stopping
At Blade's Edge and Finality are both amazing
if anything post-EW just doubles down and decides "fuck it, we're FFIV now"
hums ||Forged In Crimson||
FFIV but without ||sudden mind control out of nowhere||
nooooo im lookin forward to ffix stuuuuff
that's in dawntrail
well ye thats how I interpreted it 
god listening to that dungeon boss theme again
like I want to like Insatiable more for being like, original
because dt is post ew
idk i dislike the second boss theme a bit because it feels so generic
but i can't argue that Soken fucking made a masterpiece of an iconic boss theme
maybe i'm a sucker for trumpets
well post-ew usually means it's still ew but the credits already rolled
(i have no attachment to FFIV, I just am a nerd and look up way too much shit)
ew is such a funny shorthand i still cant decide whether "eevee" or "ewwwww" is funnier pronunciation
i also have no attachment to 4 but the game i'm making is in part based off it
DT still fucks me up because like
pony server so it could mean Diamond Tiara
idk what that is
i only know like, 4 horses
war, pestilence-
wait i know horses
uhhhh
prancer, dancer, rudolph, nightmare, kirin-
i meant MLP horses, I have better knowledge of other horses
i'm aware, i'm being silly
i owned a horse once
ffs i referenced reindeer as "horses"
war conquest famine death
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
i dont actually know bible all that much so ill leave the specifics to yall
that's the setup Discworld uses at least
i think pestilence was the one that replaced conquest
and then Good Omens gets rid of Pestilence and puts Pollution in that spot
again
most of my knolwedge comes from the dumb child abuse roguelike, I am nowhere near qualified to talk about that branch of religion in any serious way
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)
my beloved amaljaa drake but more elementally? yes please
that would be funny
i want more titles that are used in the story
like Rider of Dragons, Savior of Ishgard, Griffin's Bane
WHERE IS MY STEALER OF PANTS TITLE
Yeah that too
YOSHI PEEEEEEE
y e s
i left it out cause it's funnier if someone else mentions it
and my ||feo ul|| sch glam
i just want more carbuncle glams tbh
Warrior of Light is simple
AND THE HYDAELYNSDARNED FUNCTIONAL BAIT BAG
"Behold, the warrior of light!"
Me: using the power of darkness "Sorry, did you say something?"
average DRK main
so funny to run porta decumana as drk
cause Lahabrea is like "you have too much light" and i'm like "no"
that only works for the fluffy races tho
solution we make everyone fluffy
why does Trailer WoL change their job so much
but also race gated titles could be kinda neat
we have job ones already lets make it a step further n annoy ppl
it doesn't even make sense in ShB/EW because they don't show off the new jobs-
ok thematically DRK in ShB yes yes i get that
he worked very hard on them
and I guess PLD suits EW
I am just mad he never did a mage job
clearly he and krile should swap for DT
I do want him go for healer in the expansion after DT
beats you with a ||paintbrush|| like a club
"ok krile have this two handed blade thing, i'm going to start painting"
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
I MEAN TECHNICALLLLLLLYYYYYYYYYYY
||doesn't count||
||fartberd is a WAR so he counts in my heart||
crack theory what if ||Ardbert|| dies in the ShB trailer and the ShB/EW WoL are from a different guy
speakin of jobs i have once again been reminded how much im lookin forward to ||beastmaster||
have a post-SB screenshot of what i'm doing now except with the wrong character
i really want to cram at least starting blue mage somehow into post-msq-catchup-pre-dt period
regardless of it all i like how they reference the Answers cinematic in ShB and i just want that
for real tho why merch of the trailer guy
do not
it makes no sense
hc, you have met me
if they had an actual character then it would make sense

but people like their own characters, not the generic dude
he's The Dude on The Marketing
surely you understand i wish to subject ppl to 4 blu dungeons/those carnival things
he's not in the game, no one asked for him in the stuff
i think itd be funny
carnival is single player
sadge
you can drag 7 other people into savage tho
i dont know if i hold quite that much power of friendship lmaoo
btw BLU is up to ShB and that does include ||Innocence|| and at least one ||Eden raid|| if you want to 100% spells 
it's not that bad in theory
honestly i just wanna get at least started on it, we'll see how interested i am in completin it
blue mage only has one good thing about it and that's
the dyin on command is very funny
ack i chatted about 14 too long again, poor tomorrow morning me. gotta bounce boop
laters
yay
pain
nooooo game i literally just basically started the first cutscene of 6.twooooooo
lemme iiiiiin
(6.2) tol
<@&1128722919405650000> pspspspspsps, u know the drill
logging in

aw fuck
yee
everyone, oooor?
ah
Ok now I am DCd
i swear ill go play msq in australia or something
since apparently eu is the one gettin hit the most

yeh
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
well that's kinda disappointing lmao
agreed
still, thank you two pat pat
we should try Materia for the next group activity
ill finish this cutscene n then move to australia yeah
uh oh
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
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||"
holy shit
lets goooooo thats so cool
congratulations on your pretty anime girl transformation
oh this design slaps they even did the always-cool one eye hidden by hat
Yeah she's extremely cool
awww, ysthola thats cute
i love when theyre cheeky n do the lil in-game presentations. "did you play <job> yet you really should play <job>"
||it was cool when ali got red mage n it's still cool with zero||
Been considering playing Red Mage again
Very nice aesthetic
Lots of heresy wirh people not having a red-black-white color scheme on them
THANK YOU gods im so glad im not alone
Should post my Red Mage tonight
:ccccc
nod nod nod i offer mine
Vermage
red mage is very fun, id say it's my third favorite job to play
so anyway i decided to put msq on hold again (sorry) and level up reaper real quick
moogle hunt starts tomorrow so hopefully that'll shorten queues overall
How are you lvling?
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
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
server stability allowing

Game I beg you, I've been doing fates for so long
If you're gonna do bozja feel free to grab me
You need numbers for CLL and i have it all unlocked
aye, i remember
I'd just need a bit to set my pc situation up
'Erry noice
My current RDM glam, but I'm not super satisfied with it
Waiting for dual color channels to try again
You look like a wild freak who knifes through the deep
It's the glasses, Hancock glasses immedaly trigger fight or flight reactions
Yep
Yeah... that one is difficult synced.
mainly because nobody knows how to fucking do it
i do like the gloves bc arm tattoos are always a yes, and the pants are also fun and at least you are semi-red (i say it needs slightly more white to balance out black), but those hancock glasses do make me feel murderous
sweet 
refurbisher is the one with lava quarter floor n pullin parts/adds around, yes? yeaaaaah im also bad at that one
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 
thanki
i should get a better weapon tbh
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
Up to you, if we go bozja we kinda have to go EU basically, for other stuff we could risk aus
naah not bozja today, its a "just do roulette n stuff" kinda day
oh god, PoTD 100
i have been doing 15-20 mentor toulettes a day for the last few days, my sanity slowly leaves me more and more
potd100 is just time
I did it through random queues. They are pretty short today, thanks to the event.
eeh ill just bully gen n hc
itll b fine
i usually solo
want me to bully hi-devil into being our 4th?
sure!
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
or 51, unless you're going for necromancer
We can even start at 50 actually
Yes
I was going for it but the dude at lvl 180 had other plans
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
Yeah died a bunch of time on the way, I attempted 180 3 or 4 times
okay, i ran one alliance raid before the reset and it went smoothly, so i think we can stay on eu today
I will be home in like, an hour
sweet, ill b waitin on phantom. rpr is 78 so imma go do that quest n then i have tribes and custom deliveries
whatcha gonna do?
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
Sounds fun
ur free to join up if ud like of course
more the merrier, tho again we'll start in like an hour once gen gets home

ooooh
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.
Wait, from 61 to 100?
mentors
One of my friends is utterly convinced mentors are all a bunch of toxic assholes who never want to help, and are just in it for the benefits
i mean if you had to herd cats you would go crazy too
can confirm, have gone crazy
Ok I'm home, DC hopping
lemme wrap up anden rq n then we can go ahead
hi-devil will probably be a bit, since he was housesitting and is on his way home
as for me
TRIPLE TRIAD
oh, wait so what is the plan tonight
potd yes or nay?

i still like it as minion n mount both but AUGH im still so befuddled by that mechanic
If we'll be 5 with him, we should knock out the 4 people stuff early
will it be 5? 
If we are 4 there is no rush
I was under the impression Kay was gonna hang out, but I might have misread
Ah. Shische.
Now I notice she didn't say anything of the sort, I might just have projected stuff
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
whm gen truly do b havin that drip
that's blue steel
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
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
OH MY GOD
gotta love especially dedicated cosplayers
besty what benefits? a funny crown next to your name that most people clown on nowdays? a mount you need to do the worst roulette 2000 times to get?
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"
kinda had to make it accessible when they decided to attach some form of content or reward for it
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
idk i think the conditions should be stricter but it should be entirely altruistic to be a mentor
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
So then why tf do people even take the mantle of mentor besides for its intended purpose?
ego
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
Need to get the ones past lvl 150 if you want good shit
average potd loot experience indeed
i love thunder god its such a satisfying boss
agreed
i want thunder god to be my dad
inappropriate clothing intensifies
"oh ye ill fuck up ||orcus|| alright, ill kick his ass with my dirt stained shoes into next shard"
reaper, its my reaper tcher i have a farmer glam i swear its only inappropriate in context of serious murder



meanwhile me auditioning for Bloodborne 2
The end of that quest is so badass, it must be incredible with your glam
ill make sure to tell once im done with a call n proceed to fight

"i know how to make the snazziest of salads lemme tell you"
"They're a RPR main?"
"Worse... CUL."
pan stun lets gooooo
I wonder if there are Nin knives that look like kitchen knives
You can even shoot fire in order to do the cooking, it might be an amusing glam concept
It's Ratatouille but with the shame bunny
that is hilarious holy shit
I think there might maybe be a pan weapon glam
now is a great time to remind ppl of monk kettles
Lol
or the GLORIOUS PIZZA CUTTERRRRR
TEA party?
like, The Epic of Alexander?
which for some reason i watched a 40 minute guide on

let me tl;dr it
"You mess up this mechanic? Raid wipes."
"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 ...
i love the fact that i can't take this guide seriously because i keep hearing "PEPSI MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN"
doesn't help that the cover is a banger https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fc9lcCw91YE
I bring to you... the Pepsi Man Pepsi Jam, and I've called for backup!
I knew if I were to ever cover the Pepsi Man theme, I'd want to feature somebody on it. Then I figured... why not feature a BUNCH of people on it?
The Pepsi Man Pepsi Jam features solos from these 7 amazing musicians (show them some love!):
InsaneInTheRainMusic (Saxophone)...
got a new rapier
Mechanics wise ultimate isn’t all that much harder than savage
It’s that you have to play consistently and not mess up for the entire damn fight
I’ve not felt brave enough to try it yet
better image
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.
forgets
oh. i guess im sayin ||zero is zenos' shard then, to comply with the "reapers and their voidsent come from same ancient soul" idea. i guess msq will tell, then||
i think that's just an idea in-setting scholars have, but there's no proof of it
the community has a number of different ideas about that, and I get the impression mine isn't very common
6.5 spoiler:
||"Such devastation, this was not my intention!"
"Such destruction... if only we had arrived sooner!"||
i love solving ||nihilism||
new MCH drip who dis
are you a borderlands character
and same set on WAR
unintentional but amazing, lol
sorry hc, u forgor to spoiler it 
i got rpr to 83 today n i actually didnt even particularly grind it cause i got caught up in tribes, so tomorrow will be more hopefully more focused powerlevelin
It is a pretty fun class right?
Lots of buttons to press
Lots of colors popping
My brain is usually pleased
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.
My LB isn't keybound
It's on a larger bars that I click, for stuff I don't really need to use a bunch
Especially since you don't want to use it by accident in raids
I feel like it's mechanically simpler than mnk and a bit more relaxing
Yus, I feel like RPR does weaving a lot better than MNK. I think ShB had better weaving than whatever MNK has at the moment. Don't particularly like it.
I found people playing sweet child o mine in uldah😭
Also this outfit is awesome
Now they just played My Immortal by Evanescence

10 mins.
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
Monks have a new bar it looks like.
I am unreasonably hyped for WHM dash
I see nice things
that bar looks promising
||Neo bahmuth?||
Picto is looking kind of amazing
I'm so confused
Black Mage moved their leyline to them.
This gives me less reason to stand in stuff.
WHAT
I had time to rewatch the Viper bit
I really like the flowy combos he seems to have

They are sending all the lalafell to the dentist.
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
neat
Translator has died because of Reaper's ability names.
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
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
from my understanding of memes monk changes every expansion anyway

yeah, monk has got like 1/4 of its kit changed minimum every expac
Summoner has also gone through dramatic changes
which is a shame, i liked stormblood monk
But i like its current incarnation more than shb
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"
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
it is my first time seein job reworks, so we'll see
Not even joking, id be doing eureka and carby suddenly just ran off into the distance until it despawned
Was funny as shit
the pet healthbars were funny but painful
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
id imagine it was weirdly mapped topagraphy that caused it to path weirdly
Maybe. It just ran off in a straight line.
It pulled a tataru on me
Funny as shit
BIG AXE EXPLOSION WARRIOR BIG AXE EXPLOSION WARRIOR
dopamine goes BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
readin up further on mnk stuff and oh boi ill have to spend three days learnin it again, huh
"the fuck you mean leaden fist and demolish dot no longer exist???"

Smn dots
remember what they took from you
that job stone box better exist as a house decoration at some point btw, i needed it yesterday
All jobs 100 achievement reward maybe
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
i am not, from what ive read later
there are apparently some riddle followups
Huh
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
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 
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.
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?
yeah, theres a reason its pretty normal to have a new main every expansion

i'm up for it, dunno about the other two
When I am home for sure
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
You should check VPR bringi
Seems like it will inherit a lot from Monk
Gameplay wise
i mean ill grab it in dt of course, but i didn't particularly understand the mechanics of it
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"
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
I can in a few hours
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".
in DT they released VPR, PCT, AST and MNK
Did they just give the aoe dot they took away from scholar in shadobringers to sage
Someone in one of my other chats posted this
Dunno if y'all have seen it already or not

yet another us exclusive promo
They say they want to do something with eu in the future as well
Well for the US folks
If I happen to grab any Dew bottles with codes for this
I'll drop them in here for you 
I hate these kinds of promos
yeah, i'd hate these things if we had access to them, but its just really annoying having region locked content
Sch be like
"Look at me
I am the fairy now"
Actually they gave a DOT back to SCH
They said this will leave a DOT

So that's good
One less thing to stress over
i guess @steady saffron you mentioned a few hours, so please let us know when ur home
What class is everyone using currently.
I may have written my password wrong too many times so I can't log in for a bit, lmao
Ive got a few favorites i guess, mostly drk and war

Exactly
the website for this just went live
it costs 6 Dew bottles 
I'll be avaliable in like
an hour
perfect, gives me time to cram in roulette alliance for more rpr xp
sorry it just popped 
np
auuugh its syrcus anyway
Gen you still up for playing when I’m free?
This evening I have to go and do that POTD run with the others, but if I'm free when you are free for sure
That’s fine
Check out when you have time and I'd let you know, which point are you at with the game BTW?
So I know what content is available to you and if we can find stuff to do all together
Still in the same place as last time haven’t really been playing as I’ve been playing other games.
Yeah I don't remember which place that was
The main scenario where you meet iceheart again in Heavensward
I'm usually up to do just about anything so if someone needs an extra give me a holler
Ok so you are in Heavenswards right? Which zones do you have access there?
Because some maps might be an option in that case
If your higher level class is 60 at least
65 on my blm
np np
In the meantime I knocked out the other stuff from the mogpendium for this week
god my mch drip is go goooood
It is pretty good
@steady saffron oki doki login to phantom

Ok so, I've been running a lvl 90 dungeon as NIN for a piece of glam I want for when VPR releases
And that is true pain
I feel so inept all the time
which dungeon?
That and BLM must be the two classes I know least how to play
Even approssimatively
Fell court
you know... the first post needs to be upddated, it's free to level 70 now that Stormblood is free
Here's a sneak peek at the #Dawntrail main menu screen! ☀️
It looks so gorgeous too
Ah yes, the pure white screen
I do feel like it's the prettiest main menu screen we had
really sells the idea
It even looks beautiful through the 12 layers of compression of the trash can that is twitter video player












why must they steal more dots every expac
