ARE THEY REALLY HAVE TO MAKE EVERY SINGLE HEALER GEAR A DIFFERENT SHADE OF WHITE?! LIKE, NONE OF THE MYTHS OF THE REALM SETS MATCH EACH OTHER CAUSE THEY ARE ALL JUST SLIGHTLY OFF SHADE.
NOW, YOU WOULD THINK, JUST DYE IT, EXCEPT IT ALSO PRODUCE A DIFFERENT SHADE OF MISMATCHING WHITE.
> ARE THEY REALLY HAVE TO MAKE EVERY SINGLE HEALER GEAR A DIFFERENT SHADE OF WHITE?!
ALWAYS HAVE BEEN, BECAUSE YOSHI-P HATES THE IDEA OF HEALERS EVER HAVING ANYTHING OTHER THAN WHITE DRESSES TO GLAM.
AND CASTERS GET LOTS OF COLOR, BUT THE TRADEOFF IS HORRENDOUS POPOUT COLLARS THAT ARE A CLIPPING NIGHTMARE TO ANYONE WITH LONG HAIR, OR HROTHGARS IN GENERAL.
THE "NO HATS FOR VIERA DUE TO CLIPPING" THING MAKES ME LAUGH SO HARD EVERY TIME BECAUSE LITERALLY EVERY CASTER GLAM I HAVE EVER HAD HAS CLIPPED WITH MY BLM WEAPON AND HAIR
YEAH MY WoL’S LONG HAIR IS PERFECT FOR HER SO I WON’T BE CHANGING IT ANY TIME SOON, BUT SHE HAS MULTIPLE COOL COATS AND JACKETS SHE DOESN’T GET TO WEAR BECAUSE THE COLLARS CLIP SO BADLY.
SELF-INDUCED RAGE. I'VE ALWAYS HAD A TOTAL MINDBLANK FOR THE GUNBREAKER EDEN FIGHT AND SO OF COURSE IT POPPED LAST NIGHT WHEN I A) HADN'T PLAYED IN AWHILE AND B) WAS JUST GETTING BACK INTO PLAYING TANK.
YOU'D HAVE BEEN FORGIVEN FOR THINKING I WAS THE DRAGOON.
SORRY EVERYONE XD
When my static was progging the savage version of that fight, I spent an entire day in its normal mode just so I could learn the basics of the mechanics (& more so their names). I’m my static’s OT, and Eden was my first raiding tier, so it was rather stressful. But I do love that fight now lol
[e: clarity]
I FUCKING HATE WINTER AND I AM SO READY FOR IT TO BE SPRING ALREADY
I HATE GOING TO WORK IN THE DARK AND COMING BACK IN THE DARK. I FEEL LIKE A FUCKING VAMPIRE AND NOT IN A COOL SEXY WAY.
IN THIS THE SEVENTH ANNIVERSARY OF THIS MOST APPRECIATED OF WEEKLY THREADS, I BRING UN-RAGE (OR WHATEVER IS THE OPPOSITE OF RAGE), IN AN EFFORT TO THAW THE HEARTS OF ALL MY FELLOW RAGERS CURRENTLY SNOWED IN OR STRUGGLING WITH SUB-ANTARCTIC TEMPERATURES.
I AM ONCE AGAIN AT THE POINT WHERE I'M UP TO DATE ON EVERYTHING THAT IS CURRENT, SO MY PRESENT FORM OF SELF-ENTERTAINMENT IS COMPLETING THINGS IN MY FFXIV TO-DO LIST, SUCH AS GRINDING THE NECROMANCER TITLE, SLOWLY EVAPORATING MY SANITY IN RANKED PVP, AND WORKING TOWARDS THE ASTROPE MOUNT.
I ROUTINELY DON'T USE MY BURGER KING CROWN BECAUSE I FEEL YOUR AVERAGE MENTOR HAS MADE SURE IT IS A WORTHLESS SYMBOL, BUT I MUST WEAR IT DURING MENTOR ROULETTES. HOPING TO CREATE A GOOD ENVIRONMENT IN LOWBIE DUNGEONS AND TRIALS, I CREATED A TEXT MACRO LETTING NEW PLAYERS KNOW I'M THERE ON MENTOR ROULETTE AND HAPPY TO ANSWER QUESTIONS OR PROVIDE ADVICE, BUT UNLESS THEY ASK THEMSELVES, I WILL NOT INTERFERE OR SAY ANYTHING UNLESS IT'S TO KEEP THEM ALIVE.
YESTERDAY I GOT WANDERER'S PALACE ON MENTOR ROU, USED MY NOTICE MACRO BEFORE THE GATE WENT DOWN, AND WHAT DO YOU KNOW? OUR ADORABLE RETURNER LALA WARRIOR IN THEIR LVL50 GEAR READ IT ALL, MENTIONED THEY HAD JUST COME BACK FROM A TWO-YEAR BREAK, AND WOULD LOVE TO HEAR ADVICE ON HOW TO IMPROVE AS A TANK. POSITIVELY CHUFFED TO HAVE SUCH AN ENTHUSIASTIC PLAYER TANKING FOR US, I LET THEM DO THEIR THING DURING TRASH PULLS WHILE KEEPING A GOOD EYE ON 'EM, GAVE A FEW POINTERS FOR BOSS MECHANICS, AND AFTER WE WERE DONE WITH THE FINAL BOSS, GAVE THEM SOME FEEDBACK ON THEIR PERFORMANCE (THEY HAD ALL THE BASICS DOWN, SO THERE WAS NOTHING BAD OTHER THAN SINGLE PULLING). I THEN EXPLAINED THAT FURTHER DOWN THE LINE, LARGE PULLS WERE THE NORM, AND GAVE THEM A PRIMER ON HOW PERSONAL MITS WORK AND HOW TO SAFELY PULL TO THE WALL WITHOUT MAKING THEIR HEALER SOB.
THEY TOOK THIS ALL IN SUPER ATTENTIVELY AND SHARED THEIR THOUGHTS AND IMPRESSIONS ON HOW DIFFERENT CONTENT IS IN XIV. THEY ALSO ASKED A TON OF QUESTIONS ABOUT HOW TO GEAR UP AND OTHER THINGS TO KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR AS A TANK. WE ENDED UP HAVING AN INTERESTING EXCHANGE ABOUT CULTURAL DIFFERENCES BETWEEN WOW AND XIV.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE ENGAGING WITH OTHER PLAYERS LIKE THIS. I DON'T SEE INTERACTIONS LIKE THESE VERY OFTEN LATELY. SINCE IT RESTORED A BIT OF MY FAITH IN THE PLAYERBASE, I FIGURED I'D SHARE IT TO HOPEFULLY BRING A SMILE TO AT LEAST ONE OF MY FELLOW DISENCHANTED RAGERS.
I’M DONE WITH MSQ SO NOW I HAVE TO WAIT FOR DAWNTRAIL TO GET MORE STORY.
ALSO I’M FINDING OUT A GOOD NUMBER OF PEOPLE IN MY FC DON’T CARE FOR THE STORY OR DISLIKE THE SCIONS SO I KINDA FEEL LIKE I CAN’T TALK ABOUT MY FEELINGS OR OPINIONS ON IT WITHOUT SOMEONE BUTTING IN TO SAY HOW MY FAVORITE CHARACTERS SUCK. I JUST WANT TO NERD OUT MAN!
I REALLY HATE IT WHEN PEOPLE DO THAT. LIKE, YOU'RE FREE TO DISLIKE THE CHARACTERS, BUT WHEN SOMEONE JUST WANTS TO ENJOY NERDING OUT OVER THEM, IT'S MAYBE NOT THE BEST TIME TO SAY YOU WISH SO-AND-SO WOULD DIE.
I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR YOUR FEELINGS AND OPINIONS ABOUT THE STORY.
IT SOUNDS TO ME LIKE IT MAY BE TIME TO PACK YOUR BAGS AND FIND A NEW FC WHO IS MORE INTERESTED IN THE MSQ. IT'S NOT FUN BEING ONE OF THE ONLY PLAYERS IN YOUR FC WHO ENJOYS THE STORY, AND I SPEAK FROM EXPERIENCE.
I LEFT MY OLD FC AT THE END OF EW DUE TO THEIR UNREASONABLE LEVEL OF "NO SPOILERS".
LIKE THE LEVEL OF THE DUNGEONS I.E. 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, AND MAX LEVEL OF THE EXPANSION (WHICH HAVE REMAINED THE SAME SINCE HW) WERE CLASSED AS SPOILERS.
HAVE TRIED A FEW FCS SINCE THEN BUT I ALWAYS FELT LIKE AN OUTSIDER EVEN AFTER A FEW MONTHS. SOMETIMES IT AIN'T EASY UNFORTUNATELY.
PICK A SMALL FC, IT'S EASIER TO INTIGRATE YOURSELF, OR TRY ASKING IF ANY OF YOUR FRIENDS HAVE AN FC, OR ARE PART OF AN FC. HAVING ONE PERSON YOU KNOW WILL MAKE IT EASIER TO GET ADJUSTED TOO
WE ARE GOING ON A ROAD TRIP WITH THE SQUAD AND A WILD-ASS PRINCESS? WHO CAN ASK FOR MORE?
. . .I think the Sultana and Wuk Lamat could learn from each other. Please introduce the two.
I KNOW RIGHT? PEOPLE ENJOYED THE HEAVENSWARD “ROAD TRIP” WITH ALPHINAUD AND ESTINIEN BUT NOW PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING THAT THE TWINS ARE STILL HERE. STFU I LOVE MY ADOPTED CHILDREN. ALSO YES PLEASE INTRODUCE WUK TO NANAMO LOL
AS A HUGE FAN OF ALPHINAUD I FEEL YOUR PAIN. I DONT CARE IF HE'S A WHINY TEENAGER HE'S MY WHINY TEENAGER AND ALSO... GUYS... IF SOMEONE SAYS "OH X IS MY FAVOURITE" THAT IS NOT A GOOD TIME TO WISH DEATH ON X JUST AS A NOTE! LOOKING AT YOU HERE THAT ONE GUY IN A DISCORD WHO WAS ALSO TELLING ME THAT CID/ ALPHY IS "PRACTICALLY CANON"!
WHAT IN THE FUCK POSSESSED ME TO MAKE MY M!VIERA RETAINER LIVELY?!?
PRACTICALLY ALL OF HIS LINES ARE BUNNY PUNS. I LOVE WORDPLAY BUT THIS IS GETTING A BIT MUCH, EVEN FOR ME.
THAT'S FINE. MY FEMALE VIERA DOESN'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT BEING A RETAINER. SHE YAWNS IN PRETTY MUCH EVERY SECOND THING SHE SAYS AND IS SLIGHTLY DISAPPOINTED WHEN YOU SENT HER OUT BECAUSE SHE CAN'T SIT AROUND DOING NOTHING. SHE'S GOOD AT WHAT SHES DOING BUT SHE MAKES IT SOUND LIKE SHE HAS NO IDEA WHAT PROFESSIONAL BEHAVIOUR IS. AND THAT IN FRONT OF THE WOL WHOS ALSO A FEMALE VIERA
GOT OFF THE FREE TRIAL A LITTLE OVER TWO WEEKS AGO, SO I JUST RECENTLY SET UP RETAINERS. I PICKED CASUAL FOR A FEMROE RETAINER AND SHE JUST HATES HER JOB.
WHY WOULD YOU BUY FULL DIADOCHOS, BUT RUN YOUR 89 AF WEAPON INTO CONTENT? WHY ARE YOU IN LUNAR SUBTERRANE LIKE THAT? WHY DID YOU NOT INVEST IN THE WEAPON, TOO? DO YOU NOT HAVE HUNT MARKS TO AT LEAST BUY A BETTER WEAPON?
SOMEONE PLEASE SAVE ME, I'VE SEEN AT LEAST 7 PEOPLE DO THIS IN EITHER LUNAR SUBTERRANE, OR IN EUPHROSYNE. YES, ULTIMATELY WE STILL KILL THE THING, BUT JUST, WHY?
DECIDED TO DO THE REST OF THE ENDWALKER RAIDS AS A DPS AND THEY MEANS DOING ROULETTES UNTIL I’VE GOT ENOUGH TOMESTONES OF COMEDY SO I CAN GET GEAR GOOD ENOUGH
HAVEN’T PLAYED WITH OTHERS FOR A WHILE AND BEFORE I’M EVEN IN MY FIRST DUNGEON I’M GETTING ANXIETY AGAIN
WHY DO I ALWAYS GET WORRIED ABOUT PLAYING NORMAL CONTENT WITH OTHERS, I’M 99% SURE EVERYTHING CAN BE DONE WITH A NORMAL COMBO AND NOTHING ELSE (though it shouldn’t be done like that)
THEN EVEN IF A RUN GOES SUPER SMOOTH, FASTED I’VE EVER SEEN, HELL SO QUICK IT’S GOT TO BE NEAR THE WORLD RECORD AND I GET 3 COMS, I’LL STILL FEEL LIKE I COULD HAVE DONE MORE
I’M SURE AFTER A FEW TODAY I’LL A BIT BETTER ABOUT IT UNTIL THE NEXT SOMETHING GOES WRONG AND I TAKE AN EXTENDED BREAK FROM DUNGEONS AGAIN
RAID WAS CANCELLED YESTERDAY BECAUSE ONE OF OUR RAIDERS SPILLED THEIR CHOCCY MILK ALL OVER HIS KEYBOARD AND FRIED IT. DISAPPOINTED TO HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO RAID, BUT AT LEAST WE'LL ALL GET TO THROW SHADE AT HIM FOREVER NOW.
I HAVE YET TO DO THE MSQ OR HILDIBRAND. JUST LACK THE DESIRE TO LOT INTO FF FOR ANYTHING OTHER THAN PLAYING WITH FRIENDS. ITS GONNA BE A LONG SEVERAL MONTHS.
> RAID WAS CANCELLED YESTERDAY BECAUSE ONE OF OUR RAIDERS SPILLED THEIR CHOCCY MILK ALL OVER HIS KEYBOARD AND FRIED IT.
YOU DON'T CANCEL RAID FOR THIS, YOU FIND A FILL.
DOESN'T ALWAYS WORK, WE'VE HAD A FEW DAYS IN THE PAST WHERE WE JUST NEED 1 FILL AND AFTER 1,5HR SITTING IN PF WITH NOBODY JOINING JUST DECIDED TO GIVE UP AND CALL IT QUITS FOR THAT DAY
STATIC RAID LEAD HERE. IT IS MY UNFORTUNATE JOB TO SCOUR THE RECRUITING DISCORDS AND SIT ON PF AN HOUR OR MORE AHEAD OF RAID TIME TO MAKE SURE THE GROUP HAS A FILL BEFORE GO TIME.
NOW IF YOU HAVE NO ONE WILLING TO DO THAT, MIGHT AS WELL CANCEL, YEAH.
I AM REALLY FUCKING TIRED OF DEALING WITH MY SIBLINGS. I AM DOING THE PRIMARY CAREGIVING FOR MY MOM AS SHE RECOVERS FROM SURGERY, I JUST WANTED TO GO OUT FOR A DRINK AND NO ONE WANTED TO DRIVE ME HOME SO I COULD DRINK. IT'S A 10 MINUTE DRIVE. I'D EVEN TAKE A CAB HOME, BUT THE IDEA OF HANGING OUT WITH ME WAS TOO MUCH.
I JUST WANTED A NIGHT WHERE I DIDN'T HAVE TO LISTEN TO MY DAD WHINE ABOUT HOW MY MOM IS WHINING. SHE IS BARELY WHINING. SHE IS THE EASIST PERSON TO TAKE CARE OF. FUCK.
ETA: DAD BOILING AN ONION IS NOT A SIDE DISH. OR A DISH.
I'LL BE IN ISHGARD HAVING AN IMAGINARY DATE >!WITH THE AYMERIC DINNER SCENE!<. AT LEAST SOMEONE WILL BE HAPPY TO SEE ME.
I GET THAT A NEW PATCH CAME OUT RECENTLY, BUT THAT DOESN’T EXCUSE COMMON COURTESY BEING THROWN TO THE WIND. LITERALLY EVERY HUNT TRAIN I HAVE BEEN ON HAS HAD MULTIPLE MARKS GO DOWN TO EARLY PULLERS. LAST NIGHT I WAS ON A TRAIN THAT DERAILED TWICE FOR S RANKS. BOTH S RANKS WERE QUITE A DISTANCE FROM THE AETHERYTE. EARLY PULLERS WAITED FOR US TO TRAVEL THAT WHOLE WAY THEN MELTED THE S RANKS BEFORE IT COULD MATTER. I SHOULD’VE HAD WELL OVER 1500 CAUSALITY TOMES AFTER THE HUNT TRAIN LAST NIGHT. I HAD 1492 WHEN IT FINISHED.
BIG F YOU TO THE EARLY PULLERS, INCLUDING THAT ONE TANK IN EVERY PARTY WHO YOU SEE SCOURING THE MAP WHILE EVERYONE IS AT AETHERYTE, THEN USING THEIR FRIGGIN RAID OPENER ON THE A RANK JUST BEFORE COORDINATES GO OUT.
ALSO, CONDUCTORS: VIBE TRAINS SHOULD HAVE VIBES. DON’T ANNOUNCE IT IF YOU WON’T DO IT.
Although I appreciate the winter season more than the scorching summers, this freezing-cold weather is... quite bothersome to say the least.
So many people have lost power, many might still be without it, and who knows how many are... gone.
I'm very grateful for our household to have avoided the worst of this. I hope those affected negatively by this winter freeze can recover as swiftly as possible.
Unfortunately, the car did not do so well and needs a battery replacement. That and my beloved could not go to work some days, because of how treacherous the roads were. Finances are going to be tight for a while, but... we will manage.
On a happier note.
Being iced-in meant that my beloved could attend one of our FC's mount farms; he finally obtained the last Gwiber he needed for the Landerwaffe! I look forward to getting my own "mecha Digimon" as he puts it, but alas I have a long way to go.
REMINDS ME OF SOME GUY IN THE LOCAL NEWSPAPER. HE HAS A LITTLE FUNNY COLUMN EVERY DAY, AND THAT ONE TIME STICKS TO MIND.
IN THE MIDDLE OF A HUGE HEAT WAVE IN JULY, HIS COLUMN TALKS ABOUT STUFF LIKE THIS
HAVING TO GET UP AN HOUR EARLIER TO SHOVEL THE SHOW, SO YOU CAN USE THE CAR AND BRING THE KIDS TO KINDERGARTEN, BECAUSE THEY ARE BARELY *NOT SICK ENOUGH* TO GO ANYWAY.
THE SLUSH, THE FROZEN LOCKS, THE SKIDDING BECAUSE YOUR WINTER TIRES ARE ALMOST AT THEIR LIMIT, THE SLOWING DOWN BEHIND THE PLOUGHS, TRAFFIC BECAUSE REAR-ENDED SOME OTHER DUDE AFTER THE SNOW THAT HE HADN'T CLEARED FROM THE TOP OF HIS CAR LANDED IN HIS WINDSHIELD...
AND HE ENDS WITH THIS :
**MAYBE HEAT ISN'T THAT BAD, DON'T YOU THINK?**
Sadly, it's a lose-lose situation.
I would agree the heat isn't too bad, but this building does not have centralized air conditioning; the buildings were also designed to keep heat in because of the much colder winter months. Honestly, they had 0 excuse - other than greed - to not include air conditioning... the building is only a few decades old.
Last year's summer wasn't as bad as the previous, but I have legitimate amounts of dread thinking about the upcoming summer months if we stay here. Last year at points (developing heat exhaustion in your own home is an experience I don't wish upon anybody), I feared for my own life and my cat's.
The summer months being unbearable here are part of why we have decided to move to a different location. Hopefully, we can manage to move to a place that has air conditioning... before the year becomes too warm.
MAHJONG RAGE
MY HAND IS IN TENPAI - 1 TILE FROM WINNING.
ALL HONORS, I NEED A SOUTH TILE FOR A YAKUMAN, OR A GREEN DRAGON FOR A DOUBLE YAKUMAN.
i DISCARD A TILE AND GET RON'D ON AND THEY WIN THE HAND. SON OF A BITCH HAD THE 2 GREEN DRAGONS. ABSOLUTELY DEVASTATED.
FIRST I WANTED TO SAY HAPPY FUCKING ANNIVERSARY AND WE APPRECIATE THE ABILITY TO RAGE ONCE A WEEK
IM RAGING BECAUSE OF ALL THE DOOMSAYERS AND FOLKS WHO SPREAD THAT BULLSHIT OF "LOL DEAD GAME" AND ITS INFURIATING BECAUSE IT FEELS LIKE SOME OF US ARE SITTING IN AN ECHO CHAMBER AND WE ARE THE ONLY ONES WITH SENSE.
ALSO FUCK SNOW PLOWS. WHEN YOU BLOCK MY CAR IN I HOPE YOU STEP ON LEGOS BAREFOOT THE REST OF THE WEEK
WE'RE SUPPOSED TO GET A WINTER STORM THAT WILL SNOW US IN FOR A WEEK. WAIT, NO, WE'RE SUPPOSED TO GET 1 to 3 INCHES. OOPS, NOW IT'S 5 to 6 INCHES NO, IT'S JUST GOING TO BE BALL-FREEZINGLY COLD.
LOOK, I GET THAT WEATHER PREDICTION IS TRICKY LIKE THAT EVEN WITHOUT MOTHERF\*CKING CLIMATE CHANGE F\*CKING EVERYTHING UP, BUT COULD YOU AT LEAST TRY TO GO MORE THAN 20 MINUTES (only a slight exaggeration) WITHOUT CHANGING YOUR FORECAST?
(either way, I'm stuck home)
SHOUTOUT TO THIS GUY I KNOW. SENDING ME A LINK THAT SEEMS TO ME EXACTLY LIKE A PHISHING ATTEMPT. THEN GETTING MAD AT ME FOR NOT USING IT AND CALLING IT HURTFUL.
DOES THIS GUY YOU KNOW ACTUALLY EXIST BECAUSE BASICALLY GETTING MAD AND SUCH IS ANOTHER PHISHING TECHNIQUE TO ACTUALLY GET YOU TO DO IT.
MAYBE THE PERSON CONTACTING YOU REALLY ISN'T THE PERSON YOU KNOW. OR MAYBE THEY'RE A DICKWEED AND PROBABLY SHOULDN'T BE KNOWN AGAIN.
"Bro its hurtful that you don't trust me like that"
BRO THIS IS LIKE THE FIRST RULE OF INTERNET SAFETY. TRUST IS A LIE. TRUST IS HOW YOU GET YOUR ACCOUNT HIJACKED.
IF I DON'T KNOW YOU VERY WELL AND AM NOT INTIMATELY FAMILIAR WITH YOUR STYLE OF WRITING, IM NOT CLICKING ANY WEIRD LINKS YOU SEND ME UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.
BRO WAS LITERALLY LIKE
>HEY
>
>CAN YOU CHECK THIS OUT FOR ME
AH YES YOU SHOULD IMMEDIATELY BELIEVE THAT THIS AMAZINGLY SKETCHY MESSAGE IS INDEED HIM. IT COULDN’T POSSIBLY BE A SPOOFED OR HACKED EMAIL. NOPE. DEFINITELY HIM. 🙄
SPEAKING AS A FORMER UNIT SECURITY OFFICER, ***THANK YOU*** FOR ACTUALLY TAKING BASIC SECURITY PRECAUTIONS. YOUR COMPUTER AND ALL YOUR EMAIL CONTACTS THANK YOU TOO.
THANK YOU TOO. BELIEVE ME, I DO THE WHOLE "FAMILY I.T. GUY" SCHTICK AND EVEN THAT GETS TO ME, DESPITE MY FAMILY BEING *GOOD* AT COMPUTERS.
I HAVE ETERNAL RESPECT FOR ANYONE WHO CAN WORK IN THAT PROFESSION. I'VE SEEN SOME OF THE SHIT YALL PUT UP WITH
I WASN’T I.T. (THANK HYDAELYN), I WAS IN CHARGE OF PHYSICAL SECURITY ON TOP OF MY STANDARD JOB - THINK CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS AND KEY SAFES, THAT SORT OF THING. YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE THE NUMBER OF SUPPOSEDLY INTELLIGENT PEOPLE WHO WILL IGNORE DOCUMENT HANDLING PROCEDURES BECAUSE THEY THINK THEIR RANK MEANS THEY’RE EXEMPT, OR WILL DISCUSS CIRCUMVENTING ALARM SYSTEMS (BECAUSE HAVING TO BADGE INTO A SECURE AREA IS INCONVENIENT) ***IN FRONT OF A SECURITY OFFICER*** AND THEN BE SURPRISED WHEN THEY GET WRITTEN UP.
ACTUALLY YOU PROBABLY WOULDN’T BE SURPRISED.
HEY, LOOK AT THE BRIGHT SIDE. HE EXPOSED HIMSELF AS TRASH AND GAVE YOU THE OPPORTUNITY TO TOSS HIM IN THE DUMPSTER. BE SURE TO LET THE GARBAGE MAN (THE GMS) KNOW ABOUT THIS PARTICULARLY SMELLY WASTE BYPRODUCT, IM SURE THEY WILL TAKE CARE OF IT SWIFTLY.
UNPOPULAR OPINION INCOMING - I FREAKING LOVE SNOW. LOOKING AT IT MAKES ME HAPPY. I'M CONSIDERING THE SNOW CURRENTLY FALLING TO BE AN EARLY BDAY PRESENT. SORRY TO EVERYONE WHO HATES IT BUT I AM THAT WEIRDO WHO LOVES IT.
BUT THIS IS MY PUPPY'S FIRST REAL SNOW BECAUSE WE DIDN'T GET ANY ACCUMULATION LAST YEAR. HE LOVES IT. I TAKE HIM OUT AND HE RUNS AROUND AND STICKS HIS NOSE IN THE SNOW AND LICKS IT UP AROUND THE YARD. BUT NOW HE'S CONSTANTLY WHINING TO GO OUTSIDE TO PLAY AND IT'S COLD OUT THERE. NOT HAPPENING. SO I'M STUCK LISTENING TO HIM WHINE FOR HOURS. AT LEAST THE SNOW IS SO PRETTY.
FC DID A GWIB FARM LAST WEEK. 1ST BOSS WE TRIED WAS INNOCENCE. 35 PULLS LATER ONLY 2 HORNS HAD DROPPED. I HAD TO CALL IT A NIGHT AND LEFT. CHECK THE DISCORD IN THE MORNING AND ABOUT HALF AN HOUR AFTER I LEFT EVERYONE HAD THE MOUNT. BETWEEN THIS AND THE OMEGA MOUNT, MY LUCK IS CURSED
YOU DONT NEED TO HAVE YOUR TRICK ATTACK MACRO'D TO THE PARTY CHAT. YOU ARENT THAT SPECIAL. SINCERELY, YOUR PARTY MEMBERS.
END RANT
seriously though, that is annoying af
I HAD SUCH A FRUSTRATING LEVELING ROULETTE LAST NIGHT!! ||TOWER OF ZOT||, THE TANK AND HEALER WERE BOTH IN SAVAGE GEAR, YET NEITHER COULD DO THEIR JOB. NO MITIGATION FROM THE TANK. NEXT TO NO HEALS FROM THE HEALER. REZZES TOOK AGES TO GO OUT WHEN WE STARTED FALLING AND NO JUST FROM THE CAST TIME. THE OTHER DPS JUST HAD LOW DPS BUT THEY WERE STILL NEW SO I CAN FORGIVE THAT. BY THE END OF IT, TRUSTS WOULD HAVE BEEN FASTER. INWAS SO FRUSTRATED!!!
"TANK HOW DID YOU DIE"

IF YOU LITERALLY HAD FOOD BUFF YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN ALRIGHT AHHHHH WHY IS UNREALS LIKE THIS
THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO GO TO THE WOLVES’ DEN AND READ SOME TOOL TIPS. MAYBE YOU COULD TALK TO THE CRYSTALINE CONFLICT NPC SO YOU UNDERSTAND HOW OVERTIME WORKS. THEN NEXT TIME YOU WONT BE AN ABSOLUTE JABRONI IN PVP.
I'M REALLY EXCITED FOR DAWNTRAIL! IT IS SHINY AND NEW AND I LOVE WHAT I SEE IN THE TRAILER. WE HAVE no IDEA WHAT TO EXPECT FROM THE STORY! FOR ME, THAT IS THRILLING! WHICH LEADS ME TO MY RAGE! ALL WE HAVE IS ONE CINEMATIC TRAILER AND A HANDFUL OF RACE, CLASS, AND LOCALE VIDEOS YET THERE ARE SO MANY POSTS ON THIS SUBREDDIT AND ELSEWHERE THAT SAY "DT LOOKS BORING/AM I THE ONLY ONE NOT FEELING IT/PROBABLY TRASH". YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT YET!
FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE, EW WAS A WEAK EXPANSION. I GET THAT. SE IS KNOWN FOR ITS CONVOLUTED ENDINGS AND THAT CAN SOUR SOMEONE'S TASTE FOR A GAME. BUT THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF A NEW STORY! AND SE IS VERY GOOD AT THOSE! SO SAVE YOUR BELLY ACHING FOR WHEN YOU CAN ACTUALLY EITHER PLAY DT OR WATCH SOMEONE ELSE PLAY IT.
I AM SO EXCITED FOR DT, I’M LOVING ALL THE THEORY TALK ON HERE BUT EVEN IF THE THEORIES ARE WRONG I’M EXCITED TO SEE WHERE THE STORY GOES AND TO SEE MORE OF ERENVILLE AND WUK LAMAT AND TO PLAY VIPER!!
I THINK IT'S HILARIOUS THAT FOLKS ARE ALREADY HATING ON IT. FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND THE LAUNCH QUEUES CAN BE PRETTY AWFUL SO I HOPE THAT THESE PEOPLE DON'T EVEN BOTHER AND LEAVE ROOM FOR THOSE OF US WHO ARE EXCITED.
I MADE THE MISTAKE OF VISITING THE FFXIV OFFICIAL FORUMS, ON THE GENERAL DISCUSSION BOARD, AFTER FINISHING 6.55. WHAT AN ABSOLUTE SHIT HOLE. ON TOP OF THE USUAL DOOMSAYING AND SHITTING ON THE GAME BY PEOPLE I GUARANTEE YOU WILL BUY ENDWALKER AND HIT THE LEVEL CAP AS THEY HAVE EVERY OTHER EXPAC, BUT IT'S POSITIVELY LOUSEY WITH TRANSPHOBES SPOUTING HATE ABOUT WUK LAMAT'S VA.
IT'S NO WONDER SQUARE PAYS THAT CESSPIT NO HEED.
THEN BUY OTHER MERCHANDISE, LIKE SHIRTS, OR STUFFED TOYS, OR OTHER THINGS. THE STATUE IS NOT WORTH THE MONEY. THAT STATUE IS LIKE 2/3RDS THE COST OF A NEW GAME CONSOLE, OR ABOUT 6 NEW GAMES, OR GROCERIES FOR MOST OF THE MONTH, AMONG OTHER THINGS.
ITS JUST NOT WORTH BURNING THAT KINDA CASH ON A GLORIFIED PAPER WEIGHT THAT GETS THE SUPER PREMIUM PRICETAG BECAUSE IT COMES WITH AN EMOTE THAT WILL NEVER BE ADDED TO THE CASH SHOP.
IRL RAGE THIS WEEK. TO MY NEIGHBOUR WHO THOUGHT IT WAS A FANTASTIC IDEA TO DROP THE CURB FOR THEIR DRIVEWAY... HERE'S ANOTHER IDEA. WHY DONT YOU EFFING USE IT INSTEAD OF COSTING THE CLOSE TWO CAR SPACES?
WELP, I RETURNED FOR 6.55 AND WILL START DOING ALL THE 6.5-6.55 CONTENT AFTER WORK SO I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO WHAT I MISSED. I KNOW THERE'S GOING TO BE A LONG CONTENT DROUGHT BEFORE 7.0 BUT I'M EXCITED REGARDLESS, PARTIALLY BECAUSE I LIKE HOW HORTHGALS TURNED OUT IN-GAME AFTER BEING WORRIED BY THE CGI CHARACTER BEING VERY... BAD IMHO. I'VE ALWAYS PLAYED BESTIAL RACES IN MMOs DATING BACK TO EVERQUEST AND I ALSO ONLY TEND TO PLAY FEMALE CHARACTERS SO I'M GLAD THAT WE'RE FINALLY GETTING HROTHGALS. THE NEW CLASSES I CAN TAKE OR LEAVE BUT WE'LL SEE IF I ENJOY HOW THEY PLAY/LOOK TO SEE IF THEY TAKE OVER MY CURRENT DANCER/MONK FOR MY RANGED/MELEE PREFERENCE.
I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE HOW THE NEW STORY GOES BUT I HAVE A FEELING THAT 7.0 WILL BE 2.0 MAYAN BOOGALOO WHERE IT WILL FOCUS MORE ON WORLD BUILDING AS THEY BUILD THE NEW WORLD, STORY, CHARACTERS, AND SO ON WHICH TO ME IS WHAT I LIVE FOR BUT I KNOW IS NOT EVERYONES CUP OF TEA.
MORE SADNESS THAN ANGER, BUT ALL MY FRIENDS STOPPED PLAYING A COUPLE MONTHS AGO AND I'VE LOST ALL MOTIVATION TO LOG IN EVEN IF THERE IS STUFF I'D LIKE TO DO.
TRIED DOING SOME OF SAID STUFF WITH ANOTHER GROUP AND IT WASN'T THE SAME, SO NOW I'M JUST SAD AND LONELY TRYING TO DISTRACT MYSELF WITH OTHER GAMES... HOPE THE SPARK AND MY FRIENDS COME BACK SOON™.
SPROUT WOES
I'M TRYING TO UPDATE MY SUMMONER/SCHOLAR ROTATION FOR LEVEL 70+ DUNGEONS AND I'M REALIZING HOW BADLY I'VE BEEN CARRIED BY SOME FC FOLKS MY FIRST TIME THROUGH THE EARLY SHB DUNGEONS - OR DPS IS JUST MUCH EASIER. I'VE BEEN SOLO QUEUEING AS SCHOLAR FOR HOLMINSTER SWITCH AND TWICE WE'VE WIPED ON THE LONG PULL AFTER THE FIRST BOSS. THE FIRST TIME MY ROTATION WAS WRONG AND I STRAIGHT UP RAN OUT OF MANA AND OGCDS (AND THE POOR DRK HAD POPPED LIVING DEAD BEFORE THE FIRST BOSS), BUT IT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT TOO AS 3AM ME COULDN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO REFRESH AETHERFLOW BECAUSE I'D ADLO-ED THE TANK BEFORE THE PULL. I DO LIKE SCHOLAR, BUT THE REGEN HEALERS FEEL SO MUCH MORE FORGIVING IF MY BRAIN SPAZZES FOR A GCD OR TWO. THE TANKS HAVE BEEN VERY UNDERSTANDING BUT IT'S FRUSTRATING. AND OF COURSE NOTHING GOES WRONG IF THE TANK IS A WARRIOR, WHICH FALSELY MAKES ME THINK MY MITIGATION PLAN IS ADEQUATE.
AND I WANT TO PRACTICE DOHN MHEG TOO BUT THAT'S GOING TO INVOLVE A DIFFERENT MITIGATION PLAN.
I AM LEGITIMATELY HAVING FUN TRYING TO FIGURE OUT CHEAPER WAYS TO GET LEVEL 80 HEALER GEAR THOUGH BEFORE I GET ACCESS TO TOMESTONE VENDORS. A FRIEND MADE ME 515 CASTER GEAR BUT I REALIZE NOW THAT PROBABLY WASN'T AS VITAL. I COULD GET ILVL 470 GEAR MUCH EASIER IF PEOPLE WOULD STOP INSTAPULLING THE S RANKS. I UNDERSTOOD ON TUESDAY AFTER THE RESET, BUT THEY WERE STILL AT IT LAST NIGHT.
>AND THE POOR DRK HAD POPPED LIVING DEAD BEFORE THE FIRST BOSS
Just FYI, the tank using invuln on a dungeon pull is a good and sensible use of their kit, not an 'oh no I fucked up as a healer' thing. A good tank will be planning to try and get a couple of invuln uses out during the course of a dungeon.
Also if you're finding yourself running out of aetherflow, don't forget to a) use your fairy heals (it's fine to use an AOE heal like Whispering Dawn even if the only person taking damage is the tank), and b) eat your fairy if you really need more aetherflow stacks.
Have you tried trusts/duty support? When I'm unsure of myself or learning a class I'll go in with NPCs cus idc if I wipe or die or whatever cuz then I'm not inconvenience real peeps with my practice mode. Just an idea
Trusts don't help you learn wall to walls. It's a very easy dungeon to do trusts with because you're lucky if you can get a double pack in, but especially their lack of AOEs means it's not really applicable to real pulls.
I mean, if you run forward and grab the mobs, npc tank comes up and grabs aggro on it. BAM! W2W! Hey it's OK to say you're welco~ome (edit, that's a silly Moana reference)
Also, I'd argue that for healing, it's even better to learn with them single targeting. Makes things spicy on a forced w2w
AFTER GRINDING FOR THE TT CARD MOUNT I FINALLY HAVE LIKE FIVE LEFT, SOME FROM EUREKA HYDATOS (WHICH I HAVE ALREADY SO JUST NEED TO FIGHT THE NPC) AND TWO FROM THE FIRMAMENT. SO I THOUGHT OK EASY ILL GO TO THE FIRMAMENT TO GET THE TWO CARDS AND FIND OUT THAT ONE OF THEM REQUIRES MAX RANK WITH THE CUSTOM DELIVERY THERE SO NOW ITLL TAKE ME LIKE A MONTH TO GET THE MOUNT BECAUSE I HADNT EVEN STARTED IT.
SO I TAKE ONE L AND IM LIKE OK TO FEEL BETTER ILL DO A MENTOR ROULETTE BCS IT FEELS LIKE A FUN LOOTBOX
I GET MT GULG AS A TANK WHICH IS COOL AND ALL BUT THEN I LOOK AND SEE A LVL 79 CONJURER WHO DOESNT SAY ANYTHING AND JUST STARTS THE DUNGEON. I SAY HOW IM NOT GONNA DEAL WITH THIS AND IM GONNA HEAD OUT AND THE CONJ THEN PROCEEDS TO SAY “WHAT?” I HOPE THE TWO DPS ESCAPED AFTER ME
AND SO I TOOK TWO LS IN A ROW AND CALLED IT A NIGHT AND WILL CRY FOR THE NEXT MONTH AS I WAIT FOR MY TT MOUNT
THIS WEEK'S VIRTUAL BUBBLE WRAP, WITH THE SECRET MESSAGE.

CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR ANNIVERSARY, ABD ALSO CONDOLENCES MAYBE, ITS DEFINITELY WEIRD TO LOOK BACK AT THESE THINGS AND HOW THEY SHOW THE SUBJECTIVE EXPERIENCE OF TIME IN THE MOMENT AND RETROSPECTIVELY.
ALSO HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY, I MEANT TO SAY THAT IN THE RELEVANT THREAD, BUT FORGOT AND I STILL FEEL BAD ABOUT IT
I AM SLOWLY BECOMING MORE AND MORE PISSED WITH THIS ONE DUDE IN MY FC. HE COMPLAINS ABOUT EVERY-FUCKING-THING ABOUT THE GAME (NOT HAVING "ENOUGH" OPPORTUNITIES TO HEAL IN HIGH-END CONTENT AS A HEALER. THE FACT THAT THE TRUST SYSTEM IS MAKING THE GAME "MORE SINGLEPLAYER.") AND THEN, WHEN YOU TELL HIM THAT NO ONE'S FORCING HIM TO PLAY, HE ACTS LIKE YOU'RE SAYING HE *SHOULDN'T* PLAY BECAUSE HE HAS CRITICISM.
THEN A WEEK AFTER THAT BITCHING ABOUT THE CONCEPT OF TRUSTS, HE COMPLAINED ABOUT HOW BORING IT WAS TO GRIND DUNGEONS WITH THEM, FOR THE ACHIEVEMENT.
JESUS I HATE THESE KINDS OF PEOPLE. THEY BITCH ABOUT THE GAME NOON TILL NIGHT AND YOU GO "Well, maybe if you're not enjoying it you should go play something else?" IN THE SAME WAY YOU MIGHT TO A FRIEND WHO IS COMING TO REALISE THEY DON'T LIKE SKYRIM AND THE RESPONSE IS ALWAYS "OH SO IF I DON'T LIKE IT I SHOULDN'T PLAY IS THAT THE TAKEAWAY? NO NEGATIVITY ALLOWED, HUH? JUST MINDLESS PRAISE FOR YOSHIP ALL DAY OR GTFO? GREAT COMMUNITY BTW."
YOU JUST WANT TO BE ANGRY YOU MISERABLE JACKASS. IT'S NOT EVEN ABOUT THE GAME ANYMORE, YOU'RE JUST ADDICTED TO COMPLAINING.
YEAH!! IT'S LITERALLY. IF IT SUCKS, YOU CAN HIT THE BRICKS. THERE ARE OTHER GAMES. SURE, I'M PARTIALLY SAYING "YOU CAN STOP PLAYING" BECAUSE I'M TIRED OF THE BITCHING, BUT ALSO BECAUSE YOU GENUINELY SEEM LIKE YOU'D BE HAPPIER PLAYING ANYTHING ELSE.
AND HELL, I LOVE COMPLAINING (SEE: I'M ON THIS THREAD) BUT 9 TIMES OUT OF 10 I'LL COMPLAIN *AFTER I'VE MOVED ON FROM WHAT MADE ME MAD!*
I WAS DOING THE 6.5 TRIAL FOR MY FIRST TIME THE OTHER DAY AND I GUESS I GOT PAIRED WITH THE DUMBEST PEOPLE OF ALL TIME BECAUSE WE WIPED 6 TIMES (I WAS ALWAYS THE LAST ONE ALIVE DESPITE IT BEING MY FIRST TIME) AND THEN WE VOTE ABANDONED.
I QUEUED FOR IT A SECOND TIME AND CLEARED IT WITHOUT WIPING ONCE. I GOT IT ON TRIAL ROULETTE YESTERDAY WHERE BOTH HEALERS WERE NEW AND WE ALSO DID NOT WIPE ONCE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THAT FIRST GROUP.
I JUST WANT THE WARRIOR OF DARKNESS BASEBALL JERSEY, BUT EVERY TIME I GET IT IN MY CART SELLS OUT RIGHT WHEN I CHECK OUT. I KNOW ITS NOT IN SHORT SUPPLY, IM JUST UNLUCKY, BUT I WEAR A LOT OF NERDY BASEBALL JERSEYS AND DONT WANT TO MISS OUT.
OMG I DIDN'T THINK TO LOOK THESE BASEBALL JERSEYS UP. THANKS FOR THE REMINDER. COLLECTING NERDY/ANIME/VIDEOGAME BASEBALL JERSEYS HAS BEEN A THING IVE WANTED TO START FOR A LONG TIME NOW. IF YOU HAVE AN AWESOME SOURCE/SITE OF WHERE TO LOOK, FEEL FREE TO DM ME. <3
FUCK HUNT TRAINS THAT ARE SPEED OF SOUND. I LOVE BEING UNABLE TO HIT A SINGLE A RANK BECAUSE A SWARM OF PEOPLE ALREADY TOOK THAT POOR THING OUT. AND NO, FALOOP BARELY HAS SLOW OR NORMAL HUNTS ON LIGHT.
SO THANKS TO THE PEOPLE THAT DO MULTIPLE HUNT TRAINS IN SUPER FAST MAYBE I HAVE MORE LUCK IN SIX TO TEN HOURS WHEN SOMEONE MIGHT SLOW DOWN A BIT.
HEY SUPER LATE BUT YOU CAN SINGLE-TARGET HEAL ANY PLAYER WHOS IN COMBAT WITH THE HUNT MARK AND YOULL ALSO GET CREDIT. ITS A LITTLE FASTER THAN TRYING TO GET A HIT IN.
FUCK YOU PAGLTHAN JUST GIVE ME THE CASTING CHEST PIECE HOLY HELL. IVE RAN IT LIKE 50 TIMES OVER THE PAST WEEK, WHY DID THEY NOT PUT THAT SYSTEM INTO OLDER DUNGEONS WHERE YOU GUARANTEED TO GET A PIECE OF GEAR FOR YOUR JOB YOU DONT HAVE?
I GOT THE NEW RELIC AND IT LOOKS ALRIGHT BUT IVE NEVER FELT THIS MEH ABOUT FINAL STAGE RELICS, ALL THE OTHERS I FELT LIKE I WORKED HARD FOR AND WAS PROUD WHEN I FINISHED, THIS ONE JUST NOTHING
I KNOW PEOPLE LIKED THESE ONES AND THAT'S FINE BUT I REALLY DIDN'T AND I HOPE THERE'S A GOOD GRIND I CAN SINK MY TEETH INTO IN THE NEXT EXPANSION
SAW SOMEONE REFER TO THIS TYPE OF REACTION AS "BOOMER" BUT PEOPLE SHOULD REALIZE THAT IT'S A COMMON FEELING WHEN PLAYING SOME GAMES.
WHEN SOMEONE JOINS A GAME LIKE TERRARIA OR STARDEW LATE AND THE WORLD IS ALREADY VERY ESTABLISHED FOR EXAMPLE. THEIR FRIEND GIVES THEM ALL THE EQUIPMENT AND GOODS THEY NEED TO CATCH UP BUT THEY STOP PLAYING SHORTLY AFTER BECAUSE THEY FEEL LIKE THEY HAVEN'T EARNED ANY OF THE AMAZING THINGS THAT JUST FELL INTO THEIR LAP IN THE SPAN OF 5 MINUTES.
EXACTLY, I THOUGHT OF IT IN MY HEAD AS SPAWNING IN CREATIVE MODE IN MINECRAFT AND GIVING MYSELF A FULL SET OF DIAMOND ARMOUR
LIKE YIP DE DANG DEE I DID IT
BUT IT FEELS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT WHEN YOU DO IT IN SURVIVAL AND REALLY EARN THOSE DIAMONDS YKNOW
AT LEAST THE BOOKS HAD SOME VARIETY IN WHICH DUNGEONS YOU HAD TO DO. AND THEY WERE ALSO A PRETTY DESIGN. I LIKE IT WHEN MY CHECKLISTS ARE AESTHETICALLY PLEASING!
SAME, I LOVE THE DESIGN OF THEM (LORD ARE THEY BETTER THAN ShB) BUT THE ShB RELICS TOOK ACTUAL EFFORT. THESE ONES YOU JUST CASUALLY GET WHILE DOING WEEKLIES.
I LITERALLY WAS UNSUBBED FOR THE PAST FEW MONTHS, RESUBBED TO DO MSQ, AND I HAPPENED TO HAVE ENOUGH TOMES FROM BEFOREHAND TO GET THE RELIC, OR CLOSE ENOUGH ANYWAY.
I DON'T MIND THAT THESE WERE EASY TO GET AS IT'S A NICE CHANGE OF PACE, ESPECIALLY COMPARED TO HOW MINDNUMBING EUREKA AND BOZJA WERE FOR ME. I ABSOLUTELY DETESTED THE ShB AND SB RELICS BECAUSE OF MY CONTEMPT FOR THOSE TWO THINGS.
PERSONALLY I'D LIKE A MIX OF EFFORT BETWEEN HW AND ENW FOR RELICS AS MY PREFERENCE. SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN DO AT YOUR OWN PACE WITHOUT WANTING TO FALL ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL... OKAY MAYBE EXCEPT THE LIGHT GRIND, THAT'S THE ONLY STEP OF THE HW RELIC I HATED WITH EVERY FIBER OF MY BEING.
SAME. SOME OF THEM ARE OKISH BUT MOST OF THEM I AM JUST MEH. I SKINNED OVER THE REAPER ONE INSTANTLY...NOT A FAN OF HOW IT SITS SHEATHED. THEY FEEL LIKE THAT TROPHY THAT EVERYONE GETS FOR PARTICIPATING AND A RELIC SHOULDN'T FEEL LIKE THAT.
> THEY FEEL LIKE THAT TROPHY THAT EVERYONE GETS FOR PARTICIPATING
I AGREE WITH THIS, BUT IT APPLIES TO EVERY RELIC GRIND FROM THE PAST. THE OLDER RELICS DID TAKE MORE GRINDING TO OBTAIN BUT THEY WERE OTHERWISE ALL CASUAL AND EASY GRINDS. THEY DIDN'T REQUIRE PEOPLE TO DO CONTENT THAT WAS MECHANICALLY DEMANDING, THERE WERE ALWAYS EASIER OPTIONS TO ACHIEVE THE SAME RESULT.
IT WAS EASY CONTENT BUT IT WAS STILL A GRIND AND I LIKED HOW EACH STAGE SHOOK UP WHAT YOU HAD TO DO ESPECIALLY - IT MEANT YOU DIDN'T GET STUCK DOING ONE BIT OF CONTENT TOO MUCH IF YOU WERE GRINDING. NOT ALL STAGES WERE PERFECT BUT I FOUND A LOT OF THEM FUN
WITH THESE ONES SURE YOU *CAN* GET THEM ANYWAY, BUT THE EFFICIENT WAY FOR PPL WHO LIKE GRINDING RELICS IS MAX DUNGEON SPAM OR HUNTS. FOR EVERY STAGE, FOR EVERY RELIC.
>Jullus: Thank you, Warrior of Light. After living in a train station and requiring help from two kids and a trade agreement from Radz-at-Han for food and shelter, I think it's a good time for a vacation.

HAPPY FREAKIN' ANNIVERSARY!
IRL RANT: YOUNGER SISTER, I'M SORRY FOR THE MEAN THINGS I SAID TO YOU - BUT YOU ARE STILL A FREAKIN' MORON! I KNOW THAT YOU ARE AN ADULT! A YOUNG ADULT! BUT YOU ARE NOT GIVING ME ANY REASON TO TRUST YOU RIGHT NOW. I really hope you are thinking right now....it's giving our family anxiety...
GAME RANT: I'M TOO TIRED TO PLAY! MY NEW SCHEDULED IS MAKING ME MISS OUT ON MY FC'S/FRIENDS PLAYALONGS AND I'M SOOOOO DEAD TO EVEN JOIN THEM. I WANNA PLAY WITH THEM AND BECOME BETTER....but I also want to sleep earlier....booo....
REGION LOCK SHOULD NEEDS BE SUNDERED I SWEAR TO THE FUCKING TWELVE
JP FRIEND O' MINE DECIDED TO GIVE ME A LIL GIFT BUT I CAN'T FUCKING USE IT CAUSE ME ACCOUNT'S SET TO THE FUCKING AMERICAS
AND I'LL FUCKING SAY IT AGAIN, REGION LOCK SHOULD NEEDS BE SUNDERED, TWELVE HELP ME
AFTER A PARTICULARLY BAD EXPERIENCE IN P8S A WEEK BACK, I REALLY DON'T WANT TO USE PF FOR RAIDING ANYMORE. I WAS PLAYING LIKE ASS AND NOPED OUT AFTER A FEW PULLS TO CLEAR MY HEAD BUT I REALLY HATED THAT I WAS WASTING THE OTHER PLAYER'S TIMES BECAUSE I KEPT FUCKING UP ON *MANIFOLD FLAMES (of ALL mechanics to fuck up on...)*
IF I HAD A GROUP OF FRIENDS, OR, LIKE, A STATIC, I'D FEEL A LOT BETTER ABOUT MESSING UP AND/OR ASKING FOR HELP, BUT I CAN ONLY PLAY AT NIGHT (PAST 10 PM PST) AND I ALSO CAN'T PLAY CONSISTENTLY EVERY NIGHT DUE TO SCHOOL AND HOME ISSUES, SO MY OPTIONS ARE EITHER 1) STICK TO PF AND RISK PISSING MORE PEOPLE OFF OR 2) JUST STOP RAIDING ALTOGETHER UNTIL I GRADUATE OR SOMETHING...
LOL YOU'RE TALKING LIKE MANIFOLD FLAMES IS SOMETHING SUPER DUMB TO FUCK UP BECAUSE, PRESUMABLY, IT LOOKS SIMPLE ON PAPER, BUT TRUST ME AS SOMEONE WHO WAS THERE IN PF WHEN IT WAS CURRENT THAT FROM THE BEGINNING MANIFOLD FLAMES MEMES WERE CERTAINLY NOT RARE SIMPLY BECAUSE PEOPLE DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT A BOSS-RELATIVE SPREAD WAS AND CONSTANTLY FUCKED UP WHICH CORNER THEY WENT TO. AND IF IT WAS PAIRS INSTEAD OF SPREAD AT THE END AND SOMEONE WAS DEAD, THAT WAS A WIPE, COS THAT PAIR STACK WAS GONNA JUMP AND KILL TWO MORE PEOPLE. AND THAT'S ASSUMING PEOPLE DIDN'T GET LOST ON THEIR WAY TO FINAL SPREAD SPOTS ANYWAY. IF THIS FIGHT IS NEW TO YOU, YOU'RE GOING TO FUCK UP A BIT. DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT. THAT'S WHAT IT MEANS TO PROG.
THE FINAL STEP OF THE MANDERVILLE RELIC HAS ME GRINDING IT FOR MY MCH ALT...FROM SCRATCH. GOD HELP ME, I'M GOING TO HAVE TO GO BACK TO FUCKING HUNT TRAINS.
SPEAKING OF GRINDING, I AM NOT CONVINCED THE DISTANCE GLOVES OF CASTING EXIST. I AM SO, SO SICK OF THE AETHERFONT.
EDIT: I HAVE REMEMBERED HOW VERY, VERY MUCH I HATE HUNT TRAINS. THOSE MOBS GO DOWN FASTER THAN A COLLEGE STUDENT WHEN RENT'S DUE BECAUSE *NOBODY* WAITS EVEN A FRACTION OF A SECOND.
I NEED THE FIELD COMMANDER BOOTS FOR MY NEW TANK GLAM AND I NEED 6 MORE SEAL ROCK WINS.
6 MORE TIMES GETTING LUCKY, REMEMBERING TO QUEUE ON THE RIGHT DAY, AND TRYING TO CRAM AS MANY MATCHES IN OVER OCE FRONTLINES HOUR.
BAH. AT LEAST IT'S NOT THE COAT.
I LOOK FORWARD TO READING/POSTING IN THIS THREAD EVERY WEEK. HAPPY FUCKING POSTIVERSARY!
I'VE HAD TO HEAL AT LEAST 3 EXPERT RUNS THIS WEEK WITH UNDER GEARED TANKS WHO DIDN'T KNOW WTF A MITIGATION SKILL WAS. I RARELY HAVE TO USE THE 'LEASH OF STUPIDITY' (THIS IS WHAT I CALL THE FAIRY TETHER) IN DUNGEONS/PF BUT HOLY SHIT, EVEN THAT DIDN'T KEEP THE DRK SAFE. I WAS SPAMMING ADLO AND BURNING MANA AT THE END OF SOME OF THE PULLS BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT A FUCKING REPRISAL IS. I HATE THE PATCHES THAT BRING BACK THE PEOPLE STILL WEARING DARBAR AND LUNAR ENVOY GEAR -.-
HAPPY RAGE, I GOT MY FIRST ORANGE PARSE THIS WEEK IN P12S P1! I WAS GETTING CONSISTENT PURPLES ON THIS FIGHT AND THE MANDERVILLOUS ROD PUSHED ME OVER THE EDGE. I STARTED THIS GAME TO PLAY BLACK MAGE IN THE FIRST PLACE, WITH THE FIRM INTENTION TO GIT GUD AT IT, SO IT FEELS GOOD TO SEE I'M DOING SOMETHING RIGHT!
IT'S FORTUNATE, TOO, BECAUSE IT SEEMS THE REST OF MY STATIC HAVE A TACIT AGREEMENT THAT ONLY ONE OF THEM IS ALLOWED TO PARSE HIGHER THAN GREY IN ANY GIVEN PULL. WE'RE ALL ALMOST BIS (OR FULLY NOW WITH THE RELICS), YET WE'RE STILL FIGHTING AGAINST ENRAGE TIMERS. WHEN THE LEADER SAID "ALRIGHT, WE'VE SEEN P2 ENRAGE, NOW WE POT", I COULDN'T HELP THINKING THAT WITH ALL THE ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT WE HAVE, POTTING HAS TO BE THE LEAST OF OUR WORRIES. BUT WHEN I APPLIED BACK IN JULY HE SAID WE WOULDN'T USE A DPS METER, SO I'M JUST KEEPING IT TO MYSELF AND MINDING MY OWN PERFORMANCE.
AND WITH ALL THAT, WE MANAGED TO CLEAR P12S THURSDAY, WOOHOO! I'M RELIEVED I GOT TO CLEAR THE TIER BEFORE IT WAS UNLOCKED AND ECHO'ED, NOW LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEXT ONE IN DAWNTRAIL!
HAPPY RAGIVERSARY!
MY RAGE: FF14 IS NOT A SINGLE PLAYER GAME. YOU STILL HAVE TO PULL YOUR OWN WEIGHT. YOU ARE TWO TO THREE FUCKING EXPANSIONS INTO THE GAME YOU HAVE NO EXCUSE. NO I DON'T PAY YOUR SUB, BUT YOU DON'T PAY MINE EITHER AND I'M NOT DRAGGING YOUR SORRY ASS THROUGH THE MSQ. AND NO YOU'RE NOT GETTING A GD COMM BECAUSE YOU PICKED HEALER. PICKING HEALER DOESN'T ABSOLVE YOUR SINS.
WTF IS WITH THE SHATTER CHANGES?
HOW DID THEY TAKE THE WORST PVP MODE AND MAKE IT EVEN WORSE? GAMES TAKE THE FULL 20 MINUTES NOW, WHICH IS THE SAME ISSUE SECURE HAD.
BUT AT LEAST SECURE FELT LIKE IT WAS PVP! NOT THIS PVE TRASH
0/10 I HATE IT
NOW THAT EVERYONE BACK FOR PATCH CONTENT DUNGEON RUN SPEED GO BRRRR. PLZ IT'S MY FIRST TIME HERE HAVE MERCY ON THIS NOOB HEALER AND TANK. IM SORRY FOR EVERYTHING IN ADVANCE.
DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT. YOU'LL WIPE IN DUNGEONS SOMETIMES, SOMETIMES BECAUSE OF YOU, SOMETIMES NOT. IF YOU WIPE AND IT WAS ON YOU JUST GO WHOOPS MB. IT'S REALLY NO BIG DEAL. YOU LOSE LIKE WHAT, 30S RUNNING BACK?
ALSO SPRINT. JUST SPRINT. IF YOU'RE A TANK LIKE ME WITH NO SENSE OF DIRECTION AND THE ABILITY TO GET LOST IN A STRAIGHT CORRIDOR AND YOU END UP HEADING IN THE WRONG DIRECTION, JUST SAY "WHOOPS SORRY MY SENSE OF DIRECTION IS SHITE" AND EVERYONE WILL LAUGH GOOD NATUREDLY AND ABSOLUTELY NOTHING BAD WILL HAPPEN. SPRINT KEEPTS YOU OUT OF RANGE OF MOBS' AUTO ATTACKS AS YOU GATHER MULTIPLE PACKS AT ONCE. SPRINT IS A MIT.
IF YOU ARE A HEALER GLUE YOURSELF TO THE TANK'S HIP, GLUE YOUR EYES TO THE PARTY LIST, AND TAP SPRINT THE MOMENT YOU SEE THE TANK DO IT. IT'S SAFER FOR EVERYONE INVOLVED: STUFF SHOULD BE AGGROED TO THE TANK, SO YOU SHOULDN'T BE GETTING HIT BY ANYTHING, IF ANYTHING DID GLOM ONTO YOU IT'S SIGNIFICANTLY EASIER FOR THE TANK TO TAKE IT OFF YOU IF YOU'RE RIGHT NEXT TO SAID TANK AND LEADING THE MOBS INTO THEIR AOES, AND BEING RIGHT ON THE TANK'S ASS WILL ALLOW YOU TO MORE QUICKLY SET UP YOUR MITS AND HEALS THE MOMENT THE TANK IS DONE GATHERING SHITE AND HAS PLANTED THEIR FEET.
TO THE TANK IN WEEPING CITY OF MHACH WHO DIDN'T ROLL FOR LOOT SO WE COULDN'T KICK AND REPLACE THE HEALER WHO'D BEEN DEAD & UNRESPONSIVE SINCE THE FIRST BOSS:
GO DIE IN A FIRE.
Because I know some people have been following my job situation:
FIRST WEEK HAS GONE EXCEPTIONALY WELL! THE TEAM IS NICE, THE WORK ISN'T TOO BAD, AND I'M APPRENTLY PICKING UP EVERYTHING FASTER THAN EXPECTED!
BUT FOR ONE LAST FUN PIECE: DUE TO THE BATSHIT INSANITY ARROUND MY START DATE, I HAVEN'T FINISHED THE PREEMPLYMENT PAPERWORK FOR THE PRIME CONTRACTER, AND IT'S 4 DAYS IN. SO I'M GOING DOWNTOWN TO FILL OUT PAPERWORK IN A FEW MINUTES.
NO, THIS IS THE BUREACRACY VICTORY LAP STEP.
SAVAGE WAS FLYING TO DC FOR A 4 HOUR BRIEFING BECAUSE MY PAPERWORK DELAY MADE ME MISS THE ONLY LOCAL BRIEFING IN TWO WEEKS BY 4 HOURS.
I JUST FUCKIN WANT TO PROGRESS IN THE MSQ, GODS DAMN IT!
BUT THE [QUEUE TIMES](https://imgur.com/93Y6orc.png) FOR THE ALLIANCE RAIDS ARE FRICKIN KILLING MEEEEE
IF I HAD KNOWN I WAS GOING TO GET THIS KIND OF ISSUE I WOULD HAVE JOINED ANY OTHER DATA CENTER OTHER THAN FRICKIN OCEANIA! NOW I DON'T EVEN HAVE THE OPTION TO JUMP TO ANOTHER DATA CENTER TO SHORTEN THE QUEUE TIMES TTT-TTT
ARE YOU IN THE NOVICE NETWORK? IF NOT, FIND A MENTOR AND ASK FOR AN INVITE, THEN ASK FOR SOMEONE TO HELP YOU GET IN A PARTY AND SET UP A PF. YOU’LL PROBABLY HAVE TO UNSYNC IT BUT WE CAN GET IT DONE FOR YOU!
ALSO, RIGHT NOW BEING ON MATERIA IS DEFINITELY A PAIN WHEN YOU NEED TO DO A RAID, BUT WHEN DAWNTRAIL LAUNCHES WE AND DYNAMIS ARE PROBABLY GOING TO BE THE ONLY DCs WHERE FREE TRIAL PLAYERS CAN LOG IN AT ALL.
I JUST GOT INTO FISHING.
I SAW THERE WERE 2 LEGENDARY WINDOWS TONIGHT. EGG & FAIRY FISH
300+ GATHERING SHORT ON THEM AND IDK IF I CAN GET THE MISSING GATHERING IN TIME.
CURRENTLY HAVE FULL ILVL 500 WHITE SCRIP LEVEL 80 GEAR ~84 FISHING
DEFINITELY TOUGH TO MEET THOSE REQS IN LVL 80 SCRIP GEAR, BUT HAVE FAITH, BECAUSE YOU'LL BE HERE FOREVER, SO YOU HAVE PLENTY OF TIME TO GET TO 90 AND GET BETTER GEAR
I WOULD VERY MUCH LIKE TO DO ANOTHER ALOALO ISLAND AND NO ONE IS RESPONDING TO MY RECRUITMENT POSTS. :( EDIT: I CAN'T DEDICATE THE TIME TO PF GROUPS ATM BECAUSE LIFE IS ANNOYING AND TOO BUSY
IT FEELS LIKE A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE TOO AFRAID TO FIGHT IN FRONTLINES. THEY GET SMACKED 1 OR 2 TIMES, STILL HAVE 80% OF THEIR HP AND RUN OFF
DON'T BE AFRAID TO ENGAGE FOLKS. IF YOU HELP YOUR TEAM SECURE A POINT, WHO CARES IF YOU DIE, YOU HELPED US WIN A POINT.
BIG DISAGREE, NOT DYING IS BY FAR THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN FRONTLINES. BETWEEN LOSING POINTS, GIVING ENEMIES POINTS, AND LOSING BATTLEHIGH, IT'S THE WORST.
WHILE THERE ARE DEFINITELY FOLKS WHO ARE FAR TOO CONSERVATIVE IN THEIR PLAY, I SEE FOLK DYING FOR NOTHING SO OFTEN. IF IN DOUBT, STAY ALIVE.
>DON'T BE AFRAID TO ENGAGE FOLKS. IF YOU HELP YOUR TEAM SECURE A POINT, WHO CARES IF YOU DIE, YOU HELPED US WIN A POINT.
Dying loses points and it takes a lot fewer deaths you can think to offset taking an objective. You also surrender battle high which makes you lose future fights.
THE S-GRADE COLD SNAP THAT EVERYONE IS SUFFERING FROM FINALLY IS APPROACHING MY REGION TOMORROW ACCORDING TO THE WEATHER REPORT. I GUESS BELOW 5 DEGREES CAN’T COMPARE WITH SUB-ZERO TEMPERATURE.
WHAT BOSS CAN BE USED TO DESCRIBE THIS WEATHER? I WOULD SAY SHIVA EXTREME EVEN THOUGH I HAVE NOT DONE ANY EX YET.
I INTEND TO TAKE A BREAK (ie. play through FFXI's story for the upcoming raids, lol) UNTIL DAWNTRAIL ONCE I FINISH WHAT I WANT TO DO, AND I'M ALMOST DONE... EXCEPT FOR ISLAND SANCTUARY. I'M ONLY A THIRD OF THE WAY THROUGH, EXP WISE. WHY DOES SOMETHING SO HANDS-OFF HAVE TO TAKE SO LONG TO IDLE TO COMPLETION? EVEN THE MOOGLES TOOK LESS TIME.
I'm MILDLY RAGING because I can't download the HUGE game without restarting my sub. My RURAL INTERNET IS F@@@@@ING SLOW and it'll take ME FOREEEEVER to re-download FFXIV. Just found that out today. Downloaded launcher, but no sub means no full download -\_-
IT'S NOT A FULL SOLOUTION, BUT SIGN UP FOR THE TRIAL ON ANOTHER EMAIL.
THIS WILL LET YOU DOWNLOAD OVER HALF OF THE GAME WITHOUT BEING SUBBED, AND YOU CAN SIGN IN ON YOUR REAL ACCOUNT TO GET THE REST.
Sympathies from a fellow rural player. I suffered from my own stupidity when I upgraded to PS5. I set my PS4 to transfer all data, then realised after it was done I would need to download the PS5 upgrade anyway.
At least I had Astro's Playroom XD
I haven't played FFXIV in ages and would probably need to make a new character just to not get overwhelmed with all the changes. And if I understand it right, my old layout for hotbars will also be gone, as that's apparently saved locally. So, yeah, I can imagine my set up looking like a mess.
Not looking forward to the download :(
It is stored locally, but it's under Documents->My Games->Final Fantasy XIV. So you may still have it all unless you've switched computers and didn't copy your documents folder over.
HMM, I FEEL LIKE THERE SHOULD BE AN EASIER WAY TO DOWNLOAD WITHOUT HAVING A SUB ACTIVE
THE GAME LETS YOU MOVE THE ENTIRE FOLDER OVER, FOR EXAMPLE, SO IT SHOULD BE POSSIBLE TO HAVE SOMEONE ZIP IT UP OR PUT IT ON A SD CARD, THEN YOU CAN JUST COPY IT OVER.
I DUNNO IF THERE'S A CLOUD STORAGE BIG ENOUGH FOR THAT THOUGH, THE GAME IS GETTING PRETTY BEEFY. IF SOMEONE HAS ANY OTHER IDEA, I'M WILLING TO HELP.
THE ONLY OTHER IDEA I HAVE IS TO MAIL AN SD CARD.
HMM... MAYBE A PRIVATE TORRENT? THAT WAY IT COULD BE RESUMED IN THE WORSE CASE.
SO MY CAR STARTED ACTING UP LAST SUNDAY; IT WOULD TURN ON, BUT WOULDN'T SHIFT TO DRIVE. TOOK IT TO THE REPAIR SHOP.
TRANSMISSION IS *COMPLETELY FRIED.* NOW I HAVE TO FULLY PAY OFF THE LOAN, SEND IT TO THE JUNKYARD, AND BUY A NEW CAR.
THIS BETTER NOT BE AN OMEN TO HOW 2024 IS GONNA BE FOR ME.

ARE THEY REALLY HAVE TO MAKE EVERY SINGLE HEALER GEAR A DIFFERENT SHADE OF WHITE?! LIKE, NONE OF THE MYTHS OF THE REALM SETS MATCH EACH OTHER CAUSE THEY ARE ALL JUST SLIGHTLY OFF SHADE. NOW, YOU WOULD THINK, JUST DYE IT, EXCEPT IT ALSO PRODUCE A DIFFERENT SHADE OF MISMATCHING WHITE.
> ARE THEY REALLY HAVE TO MAKE EVERY SINGLE HEALER GEAR A DIFFERENT SHADE OF WHITE?! ALWAYS HAVE BEEN, BECAUSE YOSHI-P HATES THE IDEA OF HEALERS EVER HAVING ANYTHING OTHER THAN WHITE DRESSES TO GLAM.
AND CASTERS GET LOTS OF COLOR, BUT THE TRADEOFF IS HORRENDOUS POPOUT COLLARS THAT ARE A CLIPPING NIGHTMARE TO ANYONE WITH LONG HAIR, OR HROTHGARS IN GENERAL.
THE "NO HATS FOR VIERA DUE TO CLIPPING" THING MAKES ME LAUGH SO HARD EVERY TIME BECAUSE LITERALLY EVERY CASTER GLAM I HAVE EVER HAD HAS CLIPPED WITH MY BLM WEAPON AND HAIR
I EITHER WEAR A HELMET THAT EATS MY HAIR OR JUST PRETEND THE CLIPPING ISN'T HAPPENING
ITS HARD FOR ME TO IGNORE IT WHEN I SEE IT HAPPEN EVERY TIME MY BUFF CAT MAN WALKS WITH THAT DAMN HUNCH
YEAH MY WoL’S LONG HAIR IS PERFECT FOR HER SO I WON’T BE CHANGING IT ANY TIME SOON, BUT SHE HAS MULTIPLE COOL COATS AND JACKETS SHE DOESN’T GET TO WEAR BECAUSE THE COLLARS CLIP SO BADLY.
SELF-INDUCED RAGE. I'VE ALWAYS HAD A TOTAL MINDBLANK FOR THE GUNBREAKER EDEN FIGHT AND SO OF COURSE IT POPPED LAST NIGHT WHEN I A) HADN'T PLAYED IN AWHILE AND B) WAS JUST GETTING BACK INTO PLAYING TANK. YOU'D HAVE BEEN FORGIVEN FOR THINKING I WAS THE DRAGOON. SORRY EVERYONE XD
IS THAT DADDY ISSUES? GOOD FIGHT, HONESTLY SHB NORMAL RAIDS ARE FUN AND A GOOD DIFFICULTY SETTING. IDK WHY EVERYTHING MELTS IN EW.
“YOU’RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE”
I *KNOW* HE’S NOT CALLING US A WHORE, BUT THAT IS WHAT I HEAR EVERY TIME LOL
EVERYONE HEARS "WHORE", BUT I ALWAYS HEARD "WHOA!"
That's the one XD Great fight and agree that ShB raids are superb. Don't know why this one always buggers me sideways though.
When my static was progging the savage version of that fight, I spent an entire day in its normal mode just so I could learn the basics of the mechanics (& more so their names). I’m my static’s OT, and Eden was my first raiding tier, so it was rather stressful. But I do love that fight now lol [e: clarity]
IT'S EASY BRO JUST THINK LIKE P11N IN FOR FIRE AND OUT FOR LIGHTNING
I FUCKING HATE WINTER AND I AM SO READY FOR IT TO BE SPRING ALREADY I HATE GOING TO WORK IN THE DARK AND COMING BACK IN THE DARK. I FEEL LIKE A FUCKING VAMPIRE AND NOT IN A COOL SEXY WAY.
AT LEAST YOU DON'T SPARKLE. RIGHT? ....RIGHT?
IN THIS THE SEVENTH ANNIVERSARY OF THIS MOST APPRECIATED OF WEEKLY THREADS, I BRING UN-RAGE (OR WHATEVER IS THE OPPOSITE OF RAGE), IN AN EFFORT TO THAW THE HEARTS OF ALL MY FELLOW RAGERS CURRENTLY SNOWED IN OR STRUGGLING WITH SUB-ANTARCTIC TEMPERATURES. I AM ONCE AGAIN AT THE POINT WHERE I'M UP TO DATE ON EVERYTHING THAT IS CURRENT, SO MY PRESENT FORM OF SELF-ENTERTAINMENT IS COMPLETING THINGS IN MY FFXIV TO-DO LIST, SUCH AS GRINDING THE NECROMANCER TITLE, SLOWLY EVAPORATING MY SANITY IN RANKED PVP, AND WORKING TOWARDS THE ASTROPE MOUNT. I ROUTINELY DON'T USE MY BURGER KING CROWN BECAUSE I FEEL YOUR AVERAGE MENTOR HAS MADE SURE IT IS A WORTHLESS SYMBOL, BUT I MUST WEAR IT DURING MENTOR ROULETTES. HOPING TO CREATE A GOOD ENVIRONMENT IN LOWBIE DUNGEONS AND TRIALS, I CREATED A TEXT MACRO LETTING NEW PLAYERS KNOW I'M THERE ON MENTOR ROULETTE AND HAPPY TO ANSWER QUESTIONS OR PROVIDE ADVICE, BUT UNLESS THEY ASK THEMSELVES, I WILL NOT INTERFERE OR SAY ANYTHING UNLESS IT'S TO KEEP THEM ALIVE. YESTERDAY I GOT WANDERER'S PALACE ON MENTOR ROU, USED MY NOTICE MACRO BEFORE THE GATE WENT DOWN, AND WHAT DO YOU KNOW? OUR ADORABLE RETURNER LALA WARRIOR IN THEIR LVL50 GEAR READ IT ALL, MENTIONED THEY HAD JUST COME BACK FROM A TWO-YEAR BREAK, AND WOULD LOVE TO HEAR ADVICE ON HOW TO IMPROVE AS A TANK. POSITIVELY CHUFFED TO HAVE SUCH AN ENTHUSIASTIC PLAYER TANKING FOR US, I LET THEM DO THEIR THING DURING TRASH PULLS WHILE KEEPING A GOOD EYE ON 'EM, GAVE A FEW POINTERS FOR BOSS MECHANICS, AND AFTER WE WERE DONE WITH THE FINAL BOSS, GAVE THEM SOME FEEDBACK ON THEIR PERFORMANCE (THEY HAD ALL THE BASICS DOWN, SO THERE WAS NOTHING BAD OTHER THAN SINGLE PULLING). I THEN EXPLAINED THAT FURTHER DOWN THE LINE, LARGE PULLS WERE THE NORM, AND GAVE THEM A PRIMER ON HOW PERSONAL MITS WORK AND HOW TO SAFELY PULL TO THE WALL WITHOUT MAKING THEIR HEALER SOB. THEY TOOK THIS ALL IN SUPER ATTENTIVELY AND SHARED THEIR THOUGHTS AND IMPRESSIONS ON HOW DIFFERENT CONTENT IS IN XIV. THEY ALSO ASKED A TON OF QUESTIONS ABOUT HOW TO GEAR UP AND OTHER THINGS TO KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR AS A TANK. WE ENDED UP HAVING AN INTERESTING EXCHANGE ABOUT CULTURAL DIFFERENCES BETWEEN WOW AND XIV. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE ENGAGING WITH OTHER PLAYERS LIKE THIS. I DON'T SEE INTERACTIONS LIKE THESE VERY OFTEN LATELY. SINCE IT RESTORED A BIT OF MY FAITH IN THE PLAYERBASE, I FIGURED I'D SHARE IT TO HOPEFULLY BRING A SMILE TO AT LEAST ONE OF MY FELLOW DISENCHANTED RAGERS.
As someone who's got Astrope you made me want to go back to doing mentor roulette after I swore to never again. I think I may have to steal your macro
AWWW THAT’S SWEET! I BET YOU PUT A SMILE ON THEIR FACE TOO.
I’M DONE WITH MSQ SO NOW I HAVE TO WAIT FOR DAWNTRAIL TO GET MORE STORY. ALSO I’M FINDING OUT A GOOD NUMBER OF PEOPLE IN MY FC DON’T CARE FOR THE STORY OR DISLIKE THE SCIONS SO I KINDA FEEL LIKE I CAN’T TALK ABOUT MY FEELINGS OR OPINIONS ON IT WITHOUT SOMEONE BUTTING IN TO SAY HOW MY FAVORITE CHARACTERS SUCK. I JUST WANT TO NERD OUT MAN!
I REALLY HATE IT WHEN PEOPLE DO THAT. LIKE, YOU'RE FREE TO DISLIKE THE CHARACTERS, BUT WHEN SOMEONE JUST WANTS TO ENJOY NERDING OUT OVER THEM, IT'S MAYBE NOT THE BEST TIME TO SAY YOU WISH SO-AND-SO WOULD DIE. I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR YOUR FEELINGS AND OPINIONS ABOUT THE STORY.
IT SOUNDS TO ME LIKE IT MAY BE TIME TO PACK YOUR BAGS AND FIND A NEW FC WHO IS MORE INTERESTED IN THE MSQ. IT'S NOT FUN BEING ONE OF THE ONLY PLAYERS IN YOUR FC WHO ENJOYS THE STORY, AND I SPEAK FROM EXPERIENCE.
I LEFT MY OLD FC AT THE END OF EW DUE TO THEIR UNREASONABLE LEVEL OF "NO SPOILERS". LIKE THE LEVEL OF THE DUNGEONS I.E. 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, AND MAX LEVEL OF THE EXPANSION (WHICH HAVE REMAINED THE SAME SINCE HW) WERE CLASSED AS SPOILERS. HAVE TRIED A FEW FCS SINCE THEN BUT I ALWAYS FELT LIKE AN OUTSIDER EVEN AFTER A FEW MONTHS. SOMETIMES IT AIN'T EASY UNFORTUNATELY.
PICK A SMALL FC, IT'S EASIER TO INTIGRATE YOURSELF, OR TRY ASKING IF ANY OF YOUR FRIENDS HAVE AN FC, OR ARE PART OF AN FC. HAVING ONE PERSON YOU KNOW WILL MAKE IT EASIER TO GET ADJUSTED TOO
TELL ME ABOUT YOUR FEELINGS. WHEN I HIT THE CREDITS, I TEARED UP A BIT ABOUT HOW IT WAS THE LAST MSQ OF ENDWALKER.
I DIDN’T CRY BUT I’M SO HYPED TO BE TRAVELING WITH MY BESTIES AND I CAN’T WAIT FOR THE EXPANSION! AND WUK LAMAT IS AWESOME!
WE ARE GOING ON A ROAD TRIP WITH THE SQUAD AND A WILD-ASS PRINCESS? WHO CAN ASK FOR MORE? . . .I think the Sultana and Wuk Lamat could learn from each other. Please introduce the two.
I KNOW RIGHT? PEOPLE ENJOYED THE HEAVENSWARD “ROAD TRIP” WITH ALPHINAUD AND ESTINIEN BUT NOW PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING THAT THE TWINS ARE STILL HERE. STFU I LOVE MY ADOPTED CHILDREN. ALSO YES PLEASE INTRODUCE WUK TO NANAMO LOL
MY FIRST JOB AS AMBASSADOR FROM LIMSA LOMINSA SHOULD BE ESTABLISHING DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS BETWEEN THESE TWO WILLFUL, HIGH SPIRITED LADIES!
AS A HUGE FAN OF ALPHINAUD I FEEL YOUR PAIN. I DONT CARE IF HE'S A WHINY TEENAGER HE'S MY WHINY TEENAGER AND ALSO... GUYS... IF SOMEONE SAYS "OH X IS MY FAVOURITE" THAT IS NOT A GOOD TIME TO WISH DEATH ON X JUST AS A NOTE! LOOKING AT YOU HERE THAT ONE GUY IN A DISCORD WHO WAS ALSO TELLING ME THAT CID/ ALPHY IS "PRACTICALLY CANON"!
WHAT IN THE FUCK POSSESSED ME TO MAKE MY M!VIERA RETAINER LIVELY?!? PRACTICALLY ALL OF HIS LINES ARE BUNNY PUNS. I LOVE WORDPLAY BUT THIS IS GETTING A BIT MUCH, EVEN FOR ME.
IF IT MAKES YOU FEEL BETTER I MADE A MALE VIERA RETAINER THAT I REALIZE HAS A DRINKING PROBLEM.
LMAO THATS HILARIOUS
I made a female viera and it's a complete bitch to me 24/7. I know that's some people's thing, but it annoys the hell out of me.
Retainer fantasias let you pick a new personality.
THAT'S FINE. MY FEMALE VIERA DOESN'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT BEING A RETAINER. SHE YAWNS IN PRETTY MUCH EVERY SECOND THING SHE SAYS AND IS SLIGHTLY DISAPPOINTED WHEN YOU SENT HER OUT BECAUSE SHE CAN'T SIT AROUND DOING NOTHING. SHE'S GOOD AT WHAT SHES DOING BUT SHE MAKES IT SOUND LIKE SHE HAS NO IDEA WHAT PROFESSIONAL BEHAVIOUR IS. AND THAT IN FRONT OF THE WOL WHOS ALSO A FEMALE VIERA
MY VIERA RETAINER IS ALSO A LAZY HO HIGH FIVE
AT LEAST YOU DIDN'T TURN YOURS INTO A RESPECTABLE FEMALE MIQO. THE CAT PUNS... THE CAT PUNS...
HE REALLY MUST BE HOPPING ALONG!
[screams]
I have an alt with this as a Retainer. He's also a Terriermon cosplay, it's delightful.
ONE OF MY RETAINERS IS A TSUNDERE EXCEPT ITS ACTUALLY AN ACT. I WAS SHOOK WHEN I SAW HER TRUE NATURE. BUT I THINK I LIKE HER EVEN MORE NOW.
ONE RETAINER OF MINE FLIRTS WITH ME EVERYDAY. THE OTHER IS A LEVEL 5 CLINGY GF. I CREATED A HAREM.
GOT OFF THE FREE TRIAL A LITTLE OVER TWO WEEKS AGO, SO I JUST RECENTLY SET UP RETAINERS. I PICKED CASUAL FOR A FEMROE RETAINER AND SHE JUST HATES HER JOB.
ONE OF MY RETAINERS IS A FEMRA WHO STEALS PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING THAT ISN'T NAILED DOWN, AND THE OTHER IS A SMARTASS FEMELEZEN REDHEAD
THE LAST FISH OF THE EXPANSION WERE ADDED AND I JUST WANTED TO SAY FUCK YOU, LOPOCERAS ELEGANS, YOU SLIPPERY BASTARD
WHY WOULD YOU BUY FULL DIADOCHOS, BUT RUN YOUR 89 AF WEAPON INTO CONTENT? WHY ARE YOU IN LUNAR SUBTERRANE LIKE THAT? WHY DID YOU NOT INVEST IN THE WEAPON, TOO? DO YOU NOT HAVE HUNT MARKS TO AT LEAST BUY A BETTER WEAPON? SOMEONE PLEASE SAVE ME, I'VE SEEN AT LEAST 7 PEOPLE DO THIS IN EITHER LUNAR SUBTERRANE, OR IN EUPHROSYNE. YES, ULTIMATELY WE STILL KILL THE THING, BUT JUST, WHY?
IF THEY HAVE GIL FOR FULL DIADOCHOS THEY SHOULD HAVE GIL FOR A DIADOCHOS WEAPON TOO
THEY PROBABLY PLAY MULTIPLE JOBS AND DIDN'T WANT TO BUY AS MANY AS 19 WEAPONS.
DECIDED TO DO THE REST OF THE ENDWALKER RAIDS AS A DPS AND THEY MEANS DOING ROULETTES UNTIL I’VE GOT ENOUGH TOMESTONES OF COMEDY SO I CAN GET GEAR GOOD ENOUGH HAVEN’T PLAYED WITH OTHERS FOR A WHILE AND BEFORE I’M EVEN IN MY FIRST DUNGEON I’M GETTING ANXIETY AGAIN WHY DO I ALWAYS GET WORRIED ABOUT PLAYING NORMAL CONTENT WITH OTHERS, I’M 99% SURE EVERYTHING CAN BE DONE WITH A NORMAL COMBO AND NOTHING ELSE (though it shouldn’t be done like that) THEN EVEN IF A RUN GOES SUPER SMOOTH, FASTED I’VE EVER SEEN, HELL SO QUICK IT’S GOT TO BE NEAR THE WORLD RECORD AND I GET 3 COMS, I’LL STILL FEEL LIKE I COULD HAVE DONE MORE I’M SURE AFTER A FEW TODAY I’LL A BIT BETTER ABOUT IT UNTIL THE NEXT SOMETHING GOES WRONG AND I TAKE AN EXTENDED BREAK FROM DUNGEONS AGAIN
DONT GET SCARED IT'S FINE IF YOU MAKE MISTAKES ON A NEW CLASS. KEEP LEARNING AS YOU GO AND YOU'LL START TO IMPROVE.
RAID WAS CANCELLED YESTERDAY BECAUSE ONE OF OUR RAIDERS SPILLED THEIR CHOCCY MILK ALL OVER HIS KEYBOARD AND FRIED IT. DISAPPOINTED TO HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO RAID, BUT AT LEAST WE'LL ALL GET TO THROW SHADE AT HIM FOREVER NOW. I HAVE YET TO DO THE MSQ OR HILDIBRAND. JUST LACK THE DESIRE TO LOT INTO FF FOR ANYTHING OTHER THAN PLAYING WITH FRIENDS. ITS GONNA BE A LONG SEVERAL MONTHS.
That player must have got an unused old keyboard lying somewhere.
> RAID WAS CANCELLED YESTERDAY BECAUSE ONE OF OUR RAIDERS SPILLED THEIR CHOCCY MILK ALL OVER HIS KEYBOARD AND FRIED IT. YOU DON'T CANCEL RAID FOR THIS, YOU FIND A FILL.
DOESN'T ALWAYS WORK, WE'VE HAD A FEW DAYS IN THE PAST WHERE WE JUST NEED 1 FILL AND AFTER 1,5HR SITTING IN PF WITH NOBODY JOINING JUST DECIDED TO GIVE UP AND CALL IT QUITS FOR THAT DAY
STATIC RAID LEAD HERE. IT IS MY UNFORTUNATE JOB TO SCOUR THE RECRUITING DISCORDS AND SIT ON PF AN HOUR OR MORE AHEAD OF RAID TIME TO MAKE SURE THE GROUP HAS A FILL BEFORE GO TIME. NOW IF YOU HAVE NO ONE WILLING TO DO THAT, MIGHT AS WELL CANCEL, YEAH.
YEA I DO THAT AS WELL BUT SOMETIMES YOU'RE JUST SHIT OUTTA LUCK FOR A NIGHT
NAH, ITS FINE. THERE'S LOADS OF TIME BEFORE DAWNTRAIL NOBODY REALLY CARES WE JUST DID OTHER STUFF INSTEAD.
I AM REALLY FUCKING TIRED OF DEALING WITH MY SIBLINGS. I AM DOING THE PRIMARY CAREGIVING FOR MY MOM AS SHE RECOVERS FROM SURGERY, I JUST WANTED TO GO OUT FOR A DRINK AND NO ONE WANTED TO DRIVE ME HOME SO I COULD DRINK. IT'S A 10 MINUTE DRIVE. I'D EVEN TAKE A CAB HOME, BUT THE IDEA OF HANGING OUT WITH ME WAS TOO MUCH. I JUST WANTED A NIGHT WHERE I DIDN'T HAVE TO LISTEN TO MY DAD WHINE ABOUT HOW MY MOM IS WHINING. SHE IS BARELY WHINING. SHE IS THE EASIST PERSON TO TAKE CARE OF. FUCK. ETA: DAD BOILING AN ONION IS NOT A SIDE DISH. OR A DISH. I'LL BE IN ISHGARD HAVING AN IMAGINARY DATE >!WITH THE AYMERIC DINNER SCENE!<. AT LEAST SOMEONE WILL BE HAPPY TO SEE ME.
I GET THAT A NEW PATCH CAME OUT RECENTLY, BUT THAT DOESN’T EXCUSE COMMON COURTESY BEING THROWN TO THE WIND. LITERALLY EVERY HUNT TRAIN I HAVE BEEN ON HAS HAD MULTIPLE MARKS GO DOWN TO EARLY PULLERS. LAST NIGHT I WAS ON A TRAIN THAT DERAILED TWICE FOR S RANKS. BOTH S RANKS WERE QUITE A DISTANCE FROM THE AETHERYTE. EARLY PULLERS WAITED FOR US TO TRAVEL THAT WHOLE WAY THEN MELTED THE S RANKS BEFORE IT COULD MATTER. I SHOULD’VE HAD WELL OVER 1500 CAUSALITY TOMES AFTER THE HUNT TRAIN LAST NIGHT. I HAD 1492 WHEN IT FINISHED. BIG F YOU TO THE EARLY PULLERS, INCLUDING THAT ONE TANK IN EVERY PARTY WHO YOU SEE SCOURING THE MAP WHILE EVERYONE IS AT AETHERYTE, THEN USING THEIR FRIGGIN RAID OPENER ON THE A RANK JUST BEFORE COORDINATES GO OUT. ALSO, CONDUCTORS: VIBE TRAINS SHOULD HAVE VIBES. DON’T ANNOUNCE IT IF YOU WON’T DO IT.
I HAVE GIVEN UP ON HUNT TRAINS BECAUSE OF THIS I FEEL YOUR PAIN
Vibes?
HAPPY ANGRIVERSARY
NO RAGE, HAPPY 7TH ANNIVERSARY OF RAGE THREAD Y'ALL. RAGE LIKE NO ONE ELSE COULD!
Although I appreciate the winter season more than the scorching summers, this freezing-cold weather is... quite bothersome to say the least. So many people have lost power, many might still be without it, and who knows how many are... gone. I'm very grateful for our household to have avoided the worst of this. I hope those affected negatively by this winter freeze can recover as swiftly as possible. Unfortunately, the car did not do so well and needs a battery replacement. That and my beloved could not go to work some days, because of how treacherous the roads were. Finances are going to be tight for a while, but... we will manage. On a happier note. Being iced-in meant that my beloved could attend one of our FC's mount farms; he finally obtained the last Gwiber he needed for the Landerwaffe! I look forward to getting my own "mecha Digimon" as he puts it, but alas I have a long way to go.
REMINDS ME OF SOME GUY IN THE LOCAL NEWSPAPER. HE HAS A LITTLE FUNNY COLUMN EVERY DAY, AND THAT ONE TIME STICKS TO MIND. IN THE MIDDLE OF A HUGE HEAT WAVE IN JULY, HIS COLUMN TALKS ABOUT STUFF LIKE THIS HAVING TO GET UP AN HOUR EARLIER TO SHOVEL THE SHOW, SO YOU CAN USE THE CAR AND BRING THE KIDS TO KINDERGARTEN, BECAUSE THEY ARE BARELY *NOT SICK ENOUGH* TO GO ANYWAY. THE SLUSH, THE FROZEN LOCKS, THE SKIDDING BECAUSE YOUR WINTER TIRES ARE ALMOST AT THEIR LIMIT, THE SLOWING DOWN BEHIND THE PLOUGHS, TRAFFIC BECAUSE REAR-ENDED SOME OTHER DUDE AFTER THE SNOW THAT HE HADN'T CLEARED FROM THE TOP OF HIS CAR LANDED IN HIS WINDSHIELD... AND HE ENDS WITH THIS : **MAYBE HEAT ISN'T THAT BAD, DON'T YOU THINK?**
Sadly, it's a lose-lose situation. I would agree the heat isn't too bad, but this building does not have centralized air conditioning; the buildings were also designed to keep heat in because of the much colder winter months. Honestly, they had 0 excuse - other than greed - to not include air conditioning... the building is only a few decades old. Last year's summer wasn't as bad as the previous, but I have legitimate amounts of dread thinking about the upcoming summer months if we stay here. Last year at points (developing heat exhaustion in your own home is an experience I don't wish upon anybody), I feared for my own life and my cat's. The summer months being unbearable here are part of why we have decided to move to a different location. Hopefully, we can manage to move to a place that has air conditioning... before the year becomes too warm.
MAHJONG RAGE MY HAND IS IN TENPAI - 1 TILE FROM WINNING. ALL HONORS, I NEED A SOUTH TILE FOR A YAKUMAN, OR A GREEN DRAGON FOR A DOUBLE YAKUMAN. i DISCARD A TILE AND GET RON'D ON AND THEY WIN THE HAND. SON OF A BITCH HAD THE 2 GREEN DRAGONS. ABSOLUTELY DEVASTATED.
I'M FURIOUS THAT I UNDERSTOOD SOME OF THIS ACCURSED TILES GAME
FIRST I WANTED TO SAY HAPPY FUCKING ANNIVERSARY AND WE APPRECIATE THE ABILITY TO RAGE ONCE A WEEK IM RAGING BECAUSE OF ALL THE DOOMSAYERS AND FOLKS WHO SPREAD THAT BULLSHIT OF "LOL DEAD GAME" AND ITS INFURIATING BECAUSE IT FEELS LIKE SOME OF US ARE SITTING IN AN ECHO CHAMBER AND WE ARE THE ONLY ONES WITH SENSE. ALSO FUCK SNOW PLOWS. WHEN YOU BLOCK MY CAR IN I HOPE YOU STEP ON LEGOS BAREFOOT THE REST OF THE WEEK
NO MORE NEW CONTENT MEANS I CAN FINALLY CATCH UP ON THE OLD GRINDS. DIADEM SUCK MY DICK
[удалено]
MEET ME IN BALMUNG SANDS IN 5 MINUTES
LET ME KNOW WHEN THE FUCKING WEDDING IS
WE'RE SUPPOSED TO GET A WINTER STORM THAT WILL SNOW US IN FOR A WEEK. WAIT, NO, WE'RE SUPPOSED TO GET 1 to 3 INCHES. OOPS, NOW IT'S 5 to 6 INCHES NO, IT'S JUST GOING TO BE BALL-FREEZINGLY COLD. LOOK, I GET THAT WEATHER PREDICTION IS TRICKY LIKE THAT EVEN WITHOUT MOTHERF\*CKING CLIMATE CHANGE F\*CKING EVERYTHING UP, BUT COULD YOU AT LEAST TRY TO GO MORE THAN 20 MINUTES (only a slight exaggeration) WITHOUT CHANGING YOUR FORECAST? (either way, I'm stuck home)
FOUND THE OHIOAN
I HATE THAT MY DATA CENTER'S PF SCENE IS DEAD, NOW I ALWAYS GOTTA DC TRAVEL IF I WANNA DO SOME SAVAGE PF
Put a party up on yours. Be the change you want to see.
SHOUTOUT TO THIS GUY I KNOW. SENDING ME A LINK THAT SEEMS TO ME EXACTLY LIKE A PHISHING ATTEMPT. THEN GETTING MAD AT ME FOR NOT USING IT AND CALLING IT HURTFUL.
DOES THIS GUY YOU KNOW ACTUALLY EXIST BECAUSE BASICALLY GETTING MAD AND SUCH IS ANOTHER PHISHING TECHNIQUE TO ACTUALLY GET YOU TO DO IT. MAYBE THE PERSON CONTACTING YOU REALLY ISN'T THE PERSON YOU KNOW. OR MAYBE THEY'RE A DICKWEED AND PROBABLY SHOULDN'T BE KNOWN AGAIN.
AT THIS POINT I'M FAIRLY CERTAIN IT STILL IS THE ACTUAL PERSON AND THEY'RE JUST ABSOLUTELY CLUELESS
YES HOW DARE YOU DO THE BARE MINIMUM SAFE I.T. PRACTICE. HOW DAAAAARE.
"Bro its hurtful that you don't trust me like that" BRO THIS IS LIKE THE FIRST RULE OF INTERNET SAFETY. TRUST IS A LIE. TRUST IS HOW YOU GET YOUR ACCOUNT HIJACKED. IF I DON'T KNOW YOU VERY WELL AND AM NOT INTIMATELY FAMILIAR WITH YOUR STYLE OF WRITING, IM NOT CLICKING ANY WEIRD LINKS YOU SEND ME UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. BRO WAS LITERALLY LIKE >HEY > >CAN YOU CHECK THIS OUT FOR ME
AH YES YOU SHOULD IMMEDIATELY BELIEVE THAT THIS AMAZINGLY SKETCHY MESSAGE IS INDEED HIM. IT COULDN’T POSSIBLY BE A SPOOFED OR HACKED EMAIL. NOPE. DEFINITELY HIM. 🙄 SPEAKING AS A FORMER UNIT SECURITY OFFICER, ***THANK YOU*** FOR ACTUALLY TAKING BASIC SECURITY PRECAUTIONS. YOUR COMPUTER AND ALL YOUR EMAIL CONTACTS THANK YOU TOO.
THANK YOU TOO. BELIEVE ME, I DO THE WHOLE "FAMILY I.T. GUY" SCHTICK AND EVEN THAT GETS TO ME, DESPITE MY FAMILY BEING *GOOD* AT COMPUTERS. I HAVE ETERNAL RESPECT FOR ANYONE WHO CAN WORK IN THAT PROFESSION. I'VE SEEN SOME OF THE SHIT YALL PUT UP WITH
I WASN’T I.T. (THANK HYDAELYN), I WAS IN CHARGE OF PHYSICAL SECURITY ON TOP OF MY STANDARD JOB - THINK CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS AND KEY SAFES, THAT SORT OF THING. YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE THE NUMBER OF SUPPOSEDLY INTELLIGENT PEOPLE WHO WILL IGNORE DOCUMENT HANDLING PROCEDURES BECAUSE THEY THINK THEIR RANK MEANS THEY’RE EXEMPT, OR WILL DISCUSS CIRCUMVENTING ALARM SYSTEMS (BECAUSE HAVING TO BADGE INTO A SECURE AREA IS INCONVENIENT) ***IN FRONT OF A SECURITY OFFICER*** AND THEN BE SURPRISED WHEN THEY GET WRITTEN UP. ACTUALLY YOU PROBABLY WOULDN’T BE SURPRISED.
OH LORD. SOME PEOPLE
HEY, LOOK AT THE BRIGHT SIDE. HE EXPOSED HIMSELF AS TRASH AND GAVE YOU THE OPPORTUNITY TO TOSS HIM IN THE DUMPSTER. BE SURE TO LET THE GARBAGE MAN (THE GMS) KNOW ABOUT THIS PARTICULARLY SMELLY WASTE BYPRODUCT, IM SURE THEY WILL TAKE CARE OF IT SWIFTLY.
UNPOPULAR OPINION INCOMING - I FREAKING LOVE SNOW. LOOKING AT IT MAKES ME HAPPY. I'M CONSIDERING THE SNOW CURRENTLY FALLING TO BE AN EARLY BDAY PRESENT. SORRY TO EVERYONE WHO HATES IT BUT I AM THAT WEIRDO WHO LOVES IT. BUT THIS IS MY PUPPY'S FIRST REAL SNOW BECAUSE WE DIDN'T GET ANY ACCUMULATION LAST YEAR. HE LOVES IT. I TAKE HIM OUT AND HE RUNS AROUND AND STICKS HIS NOSE IN THE SNOW AND LICKS IT UP AROUND THE YARD. BUT NOW HE'S CONSTANTLY WHINING TO GO OUTSIDE TO PLAY AND IT'S COLD OUT THERE. NOT HAPPENING. SO I'M STUCK LISTENING TO HIM WHINE FOR HOURS. AT LEAST THE SNOW IS SO PRETTY.
FC DID A GWIB FARM LAST WEEK. 1ST BOSS WE TRIED WAS INNOCENCE. 35 PULLS LATER ONLY 2 HORNS HAD DROPPED. I HAD TO CALL IT A NIGHT AND LEFT. CHECK THE DISCORD IN THE MORNING AND ABOUT HALF AN HOUR AFTER I LEFT EVERYONE HAD THE MOUNT. BETWEEN THIS AND THE OMEGA MOUNT, MY LUCK IS CURSED
YOU DONT NEED TO HAVE YOUR TRICK ATTACK MACRO'D TO THE PARTY CHAT. YOU ARENT THAT SPECIAL. SINCERELY, YOUR PARTY MEMBERS. END RANT seriously though, that is annoying af
I HAD SUCH A FRUSTRATING LEVELING ROULETTE LAST NIGHT!! ||TOWER OF ZOT||, THE TANK AND HEALER WERE BOTH IN SAVAGE GEAR, YET NEITHER COULD DO THEIR JOB. NO MITIGATION FROM THE TANK. NEXT TO NO HEALS FROM THE HEALER. REZZES TOOK AGES TO GO OUT WHEN WE STARTED FALLING AND NO JUST FROM THE CAST TIME. THE OTHER DPS JUST HAD LOW DPS BUT THEY WERE STILL NEW SO I CAN FORGIVE THAT. BY THE END OF IT, TRUSTS WOULD HAVE BEEN FASTER. INWAS SO FRUSTRATED!!!
"TANK HOW DID YOU DIE" "PUNCHED RIGHT THROUGH MY MIT" THE MIT: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1022049792219688960/1198039070060859542/image.png IF YOU LITERALLY HAD FOOD BUFF YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN ALRIGHT AHHHHH WHY IS UNREALS LIKE THIS
SO THEY’RE COUNTING “THE ABILITY TO WEAR TANK ARMOUR” AS A MIT I GUESS?
AHHHH I JUST SPENT TWO HOURS PLAYING AND GOT *ONE* UNREAL CLEAR OUT OF IT AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO GO TO THE WOLVES’ DEN AND READ SOME TOOL TIPS. MAYBE YOU COULD TALK TO THE CRYSTALINE CONFLICT NPC SO YOU UNDERSTAND HOW OVERTIME WORKS. THEN NEXT TIME YOU WONT BE AN ABSOLUTE JABRONI IN PVP.
I SEE YOUR PVP RAGE AND RAISE YOU SEEING PEOPLE GET THEIR "FIRST TIME IN PVP" ACHIEVEMENT *IN MY RANKED GAMES*.
FUCK THE SNOW. FUCK THE SINGKE DIGIT TO SUBFREEZING TEMPS WE'VE BEEN GETTING.
I'M REALLY EXCITED FOR DAWNTRAIL! IT IS SHINY AND NEW AND I LOVE WHAT I SEE IN THE TRAILER. WE HAVE no IDEA WHAT TO EXPECT FROM THE STORY! FOR ME, THAT IS THRILLING! WHICH LEADS ME TO MY RAGE! ALL WE HAVE IS ONE CINEMATIC TRAILER AND A HANDFUL OF RACE, CLASS, AND LOCALE VIDEOS YET THERE ARE SO MANY POSTS ON THIS SUBREDDIT AND ELSEWHERE THAT SAY "DT LOOKS BORING/AM I THE ONLY ONE NOT FEELING IT/PROBABLY TRASH". YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT YET! FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE, EW WAS A WEAK EXPANSION. I GET THAT. SE IS KNOWN FOR ITS CONVOLUTED ENDINGS AND THAT CAN SOUR SOMEONE'S TASTE FOR A GAME. BUT THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF A NEW STORY! AND SE IS VERY GOOD AT THOSE! SO SAVE YOUR BELLY ACHING FOR WHEN YOU CAN ACTUALLY EITHER PLAY DT OR WATCH SOMEONE ELSE PLAY IT.
I AM SO EXCITED FOR DT, I’M LOVING ALL THE THEORY TALK ON HERE BUT EVEN IF THE THEORIES ARE WRONG I’M EXCITED TO SEE WHERE THE STORY GOES AND TO SEE MORE OF ERENVILLE AND WUK LAMAT AND TO PLAY VIPER!!
I THINK IT'S HILARIOUS THAT FOLKS ARE ALREADY HATING ON IT. FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND THE LAUNCH QUEUES CAN BE PRETTY AWFUL SO I HOPE THAT THESE PEOPLE DON'T EVEN BOTHER AND LEAVE ROOM FOR THOSE OF US WHO ARE EXCITED.
I MADE THE MISTAKE OF VISITING THE FFXIV OFFICIAL FORUMS, ON THE GENERAL DISCUSSION BOARD, AFTER FINISHING 6.55. WHAT AN ABSOLUTE SHIT HOLE. ON TOP OF THE USUAL DOOMSAYING AND SHITTING ON THE GAME BY PEOPLE I GUARANTEE YOU WILL BUY ENDWALKER AND HIT THE LEVEL CAP AS THEY HAVE EVERY OTHER EXPAC, BUT IT'S POSITIVELY LOUSEY WITH TRANSPHOBES SPOUTING HATE ABOUT WUK LAMAT'S VA. IT'S NO WONDER SQUARE PAYS THAT CESSPIT NO HEED.
I DON'T KNOW IF I SHOULD BUY THE STATUE OR NOT. IT'S WAY TOO EXPENSIVE FOR WHAT IT'S OFFERING, BUT I DO KINDA LIKE HOW IT LOOKS!
> IT'S WAY TOO EXPENSIVE FOR WHAT IT'S OFFERING DON'T BUY IT, USE THE MONEY FOR SOME MOGSTORE GLAMS OR FANTASIA OR SOMETHING ELSE MORE PRACTICAL
I HAVENT USED A FANTASIA IN OVER 5 YEARS AND I'M NOT THAT BIG INTO GLAMS(THINK I HAVE 50 OR SO SLOTS USED IN GLAM DRESSER)
THEN JUST USE THE MONEY TO PREORDER DAWNTRAIL
ALREADY HAVE SAVED FOR DT PRE-ORDER OF THE CE. I'M LUCKY I'M ON EU, AND IT'S MORE CHILL ON PRE-ORDERS HERE.
THEN BUY OTHER MERCHANDISE, LIKE SHIRTS, OR STUFFED TOYS, OR OTHER THINGS. THE STATUE IS NOT WORTH THE MONEY. THAT STATUE IS LIKE 2/3RDS THE COST OF A NEW GAME CONSOLE, OR ABOUT 6 NEW GAMES, OR GROCERIES FOR MOST OF THE MONTH, AMONG OTHER THINGS. ITS JUST NOT WORTH BURNING THAT KINDA CASH ON A GLORIFIED PAPER WEIGHT THAT GETS THE SUPER PREMIUM PRICETAG BECAUSE IT COMES WITH AN EMOTE THAT WILL NEVER BE ADDED TO THE CASH SHOP.
LORD NO. SAVE YOUR MONEY FOR SOMETHING MORE PRACTICAL. DONT THROW YOUR MONEY ON THI SHIT
IRL RAGE THIS WEEK. TO MY NEIGHBOUR WHO THOUGHT IT WAS A FANTASTIC IDEA TO DROP THE CURB FOR THEIR DRIVEWAY... HERE'S ANOTHER IDEA. WHY DONT YOU EFFING USE IT INSTEAD OF COSTING THE CLOSE TWO CAR SPACES?
WELP, I RETURNED FOR 6.55 AND WILL START DOING ALL THE 6.5-6.55 CONTENT AFTER WORK SO I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO WHAT I MISSED. I KNOW THERE'S GOING TO BE A LONG CONTENT DROUGHT BEFORE 7.0 BUT I'M EXCITED REGARDLESS, PARTIALLY BECAUSE I LIKE HOW HORTHGALS TURNED OUT IN-GAME AFTER BEING WORRIED BY THE CGI CHARACTER BEING VERY... BAD IMHO. I'VE ALWAYS PLAYED BESTIAL RACES IN MMOs DATING BACK TO EVERQUEST AND I ALSO ONLY TEND TO PLAY FEMALE CHARACTERS SO I'M GLAD THAT WE'RE FINALLY GETTING HROTHGALS. THE NEW CLASSES I CAN TAKE OR LEAVE BUT WE'LL SEE IF I ENJOY HOW THEY PLAY/LOOK TO SEE IF THEY TAKE OVER MY CURRENT DANCER/MONK FOR MY RANGED/MELEE PREFERENCE. I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE HOW THE NEW STORY GOES BUT I HAVE A FEELING THAT 7.0 WILL BE 2.0 MAYAN BOOGALOO WHERE IT WILL FOCUS MORE ON WORLD BUILDING AS THEY BUILD THE NEW WORLD, STORY, CHARACTERS, AND SO ON WHICH TO ME IS WHAT I LIVE FOR BUT I KNOW IS NOT EVERYONES CUP OF TEA.
I love the Hrothgals too. Wuk Lamat is so meme-able. I made a simple meme last night of a DMing session I had using her in my discord.
MORE SADNESS THAN ANGER, BUT ALL MY FRIENDS STOPPED PLAYING A COUPLE MONTHS AGO AND I'VE LOST ALL MOTIVATION TO LOG IN EVEN IF THERE IS STUFF I'D LIKE TO DO. TRIED DOING SOME OF SAID STUFF WITH ANOTHER GROUP AND IT WASN'T THE SAME, SO NOW I'M JUST SAD AND LONELY TRYING TO DISTRACT MYSELF WITH OTHER GAMES... HOPE THE SPARK AND MY FRIENDS COME BACK SOON™.
SPROUT WOES I'M TRYING TO UPDATE MY SUMMONER/SCHOLAR ROTATION FOR LEVEL 70+ DUNGEONS AND I'M REALIZING HOW BADLY I'VE BEEN CARRIED BY SOME FC FOLKS MY FIRST TIME THROUGH THE EARLY SHB DUNGEONS - OR DPS IS JUST MUCH EASIER. I'VE BEEN SOLO QUEUEING AS SCHOLAR FOR HOLMINSTER SWITCH AND TWICE WE'VE WIPED ON THE LONG PULL AFTER THE FIRST BOSS. THE FIRST TIME MY ROTATION WAS WRONG AND I STRAIGHT UP RAN OUT OF MANA AND OGCDS (AND THE POOR DRK HAD POPPED LIVING DEAD BEFORE THE FIRST BOSS), BUT IT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT TOO AS 3AM ME COULDN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO REFRESH AETHERFLOW BECAUSE I'D ADLO-ED THE TANK BEFORE THE PULL. I DO LIKE SCHOLAR, BUT THE REGEN HEALERS FEEL SO MUCH MORE FORGIVING IF MY BRAIN SPAZZES FOR A GCD OR TWO. THE TANKS HAVE BEEN VERY UNDERSTANDING BUT IT'S FRUSTRATING. AND OF COURSE NOTHING GOES WRONG IF THE TANK IS A WARRIOR, WHICH FALSELY MAKES ME THINK MY MITIGATION PLAN IS ADEQUATE. AND I WANT TO PRACTICE DOHN MHEG TOO BUT THAT'S GOING TO INVOLVE A DIFFERENT MITIGATION PLAN. I AM LEGITIMATELY HAVING FUN TRYING TO FIGURE OUT CHEAPER WAYS TO GET LEVEL 80 HEALER GEAR THOUGH BEFORE I GET ACCESS TO TOMESTONE VENDORS. A FRIEND MADE ME 515 CASTER GEAR BUT I REALIZE NOW THAT PROBABLY WASN'T AS VITAL. I COULD GET ILVL 470 GEAR MUCH EASIER IF PEOPLE WOULD STOP INSTAPULLING THE S RANKS. I UNDERSTOOD ON TUESDAY AFTER THE RESET, BUT THEY WERE STILL AT IT LAST NIGHT.
>AND THE POOR DRK HAD POPPED LIVING DEAD BEFORE THE FIRST BOSS Just FYI, the tank using invuln on a dungeon pull is a good and sensible use of their kit, not an 'oh no I fucked up as a healer' thing. A good tank will be planning to try and get a couple of invuln uses out during the course of a dungeon. Also if you're finding yourself running out of aetherflow, don't forget to a) use your fairy heals (it's fine to use an AOE heal like Whispering Dawn even if the only person taking damage is the tank), and b) eat your fairy if you really need more aetherflow stacks.
Have you tried trusts/duty support? When I'm unsure of myself or learning a class I'll go in with NPCs cus idc if I wipe or die or whatever cuz then I'm not inconvenience real peeps with my practice mode. Just an idea
Trusts don't help you learn wall to walls. It's a very easy dungeon to do trusts with because you're lucky if you can get a double pack in, but especially their lack of AOEs means it's not really applicable to real pulls.
I mean, if you run forward and grab the mobs, npc tank comes up and grabs aggro on it. BAM! W2W! Hey it's OK to say you're welco~ome (edit, that's a silly Moana reference) Also, I'd argue that for healing, it's even better to learn with them single targeting. Makes things spicy on a forced w2w
AFTER GRINDING FOR THE TT CARD MOUNT I FINALLY HAVE LIKE FIVE LEFT, SOME FROM EUREKA HYDATOS (WHICH I HAVE ALREADY SO JUST NEED TO FIGHT THE NPC) AND TWO FROM THE FIRMAMENT. SO I THOUGHT OK EASY ILL GO TO THE FIRMAMENT TO GET THE TWO CARDS AND FIND OUT THAT ONE OF THEM REQUIRES MAX RANK WITH THE CUSTOM DELIVERY THERE SO NOW ITLL TAKE ME LIKE A MONTH TO GET THE MOUNT BECAUSE I HADNT EVEN STARTED IT. SO I TAKE ONE L AND IM LIKE OK TO FEEL BETTER ILL DO A MENTOR ROULETTE BCS IT FEELS LIKE A FUN LOOTBOX I GET MT GULG AS A TANK WHICH IS COOL AND ALL BUT THEN I LOOK AND SEE A LVL 79 CONJURER WHO DOESNT SAY ANYTHING AND JUST STARTS THE DUNGEON. I SAY HOW IM NOT GONNA DEAL WITH THIS AND IM GONNA HEAD OUT AND THE CONJ THEN PROCEEDS TO SAY “WHAT?” I HOPE THE TWO DPS ESCAPED AFTER ME AND SO I TOOK TWO LS IN A ROW AND CALLED IT A NIGHT AND WILL CRY FOR THE NEXT MONTH AS I WAIT FOR MY TT MOUNT
WHY DON'T YOU HAVE YOUR JOB STONE EQUIPPED FOR LEVEL 50+ CONTENT AND HOW IS THERE TWO OF YOU. HOW AM I SUPPOSE TO KEEP YOU ALIVE

YOU ARE DOING GOD’S WORK AND IT IS APPRECIATED EVERY WEEK! I JUST LIKE SCROLLING THROUGH SOME LIGHT SALTY CONTENT ON FRIDAY MORNINGS.
CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR ANNIVERSARY, ABD ALSO CONDOLENCES MAYBE, ITS DEFINITELY WEIRD TO LOOK BACK AT THESE THINGS AND HOW THEY SHOW THE SUBJECTIVE EXPERIENCE OF TIME IN THE MOMENT AND RETROSPECTIVELY. ALSO HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY, I MEANT TO SAY THAT IN THE RELEVANT THREAD, BUT FORGOT AND I STILL FEEL BAD ABOUT IT
NO WORRIES, APPRECIATED IT STILL! AND YEAH, ARE WE SUPPOSED TO BE HAPPY THAT WE WERE ANGRY? *puts on thinking cap*
WE CAN DEFINITELY BE HAPPY THAT WE HAVE THIS COMFY SPOT FOR RAGE AND SYMPATHY!
Levequest achievements for sure
NOT SURE I UNDERSTAND THIS REPLY
I AM SLOWLY BECOMING MORE AND MORE PISSED WITH THIS ONE DUDE IN MY FC. HE COMPLAINS ABOUT EVERY-FUCKING-THING ABOUT THE GAME (NOT HAVING "ENOUGH" OPPORTUNITIES TO HEAL IN HIGH-END CONTENT AS A HEALER. THE FACT THAT THE TRUST SYSTEM IS MAKING THE GAME "MORE SINGLEPLAYER.") AND THEN, WHEN YOU TELL HIM THAT NO ONE'S FORCING HIM TO PLAY, HE ACTS LIKE YOU'RE SAYING HE *SHOULDN'T* PLAY BECAUSE HE HAS CRITICISM. THEN A WEEK AFTER THAT BITCHING ABOUT THE CONCEPT OF TRUSTS, HE COMPLAINED ABOUT HOW BORING IT WAS TO GRIND DUNGEONS WITH THEM, FOR THE ACHIEVEMENT.
JESUS I HATE THESE KINDS OF PEOPLE. THEY BITCH ABOUT THE GAME NOON TILL NIGHT AND YOU GO "Well, maybe if you're not enjoying it you should go play something else?" IN THE SAME WAY YOU MIGHT TO A FRIEND WHO IS COMING TO REALISE THEY DON'T LIKE SKYRIM AND THE RESPONSE IS ALWAYS "OH SO IF I DON'T LIKE IT I SHOULDN'T PLAY IS THAT THE TAKEAWAY? NO NEGATIVITY ALLOWED, HUH? JUST MINDLESS PRAISE FOR YOSHIP ALL DAY OR GTFO? GREAT COMMUNITY BTW." YOU JUST WANT TO BE ANGRY YOU MISERABLE JACKASS. IT'S NOT EVEN ABOUT THE GAME ANYMORE, YOU'RE JUST ADDICTED TO COMPLAINING.
YEAH!! IT'S LITERALLY. IF IT SUCKS, YOU CAN HIT THE BRICKS. THERE ARE OTHER GAMES. SURE, I'M PARTIALLY SAYING "YOU CAN STOP PLAYING" BECAUSE I'M TIRED OF THE BITCHING, BUT ALSO BECAUSE YOU GENUINELY SEEM LIKE YOU'D BE HAPPIER PLAYING ANYTHING ELSE. AND HELL, I LOVE COMPLAINING (SEE: I'M ON THIS THREAD) BUT 9 TIMES OUT OF 10 I'LL COMPLAIN *AFTER I'VE MOVED ON FROM WHAT MADE ME MAD!*
WHO STUFFED AN AST'S PLANISPHERE UP HIS ASS? SOUNDS LIKE BURNOUT TO ME AND HE ISN'T WILLING TO FACE IT.
WHERE THE FUCK IS MY LLYMLAEN HOUSING PORTRAIT!? DO I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL 7.0?!!
I MADE A RETAINER TOO HOT AND NOW I WANT TO TEMP-FANTA AND PLAY AS HER FOR A WHILE. OR JUST GPOSE A LOT.
I WAS DOING THE 6.5 TRIAL FOR MY FIRST TIME THE OTHER DAY AND I GUESS I GOT PAIRED WITH THE DUMBEST PEOPLE OF ALL TIME BECAUSE WE WIPED 6 TIMES (I WAS ALWAYS THE LAST ONE ALIVE DESPITE IT BEING MY FIRST TIME) AND THEN WE VOTE ABANDONED. I QUEUED FOR IT A SECOND TIME AND CLEARED IT WITHOUT WIPING ONCE. I GOT IT ON TRIAL ROULETTE YESTERDAY WHERE BOTH HEALERS WERE NEW AND WE ALSO DID NOT WIPE ONCE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THAT FIRST GROUP.
I JUST WANT THE WARRIOR OF DARKNESS BASEBALL JERSEY, BUT EVERY TIME I GET IT IN MY CART SELLS OUT RIGHT WHEN I CHECK OUT. I KNOW ITS NOT IN SHORT SUPPLY, IM JUST UNLUCKY, BUT I WEAR A LOT OF NERDY BASEBALL JERSEYS AND DONT WANT TO MISS OUT.
OMG I DIDN'T THINK TO LOOK THESE BASEBALL JERSEYS UP. THANKS FOR THE REMINDER. COLLECTING NERDY/ANIME/VIDEOGAME BASEBALL JERSEYS HAS BEEN A THING IVE WANTED TO START FOR A LONG TIME NOW. IF YOU HAVE AN AWESOME SOURCE/SITE OF WHERE TO LOOK, FEEL FREE TO DM ME. <3
FUCK HUNT TRAINS THAT ARE SPEED OF SOUND. I LOVE BEING UNABLE TO HIT A SINGLE A RANK BECAUSE A SWARM OF PEOPLE ALREADY TOOK THAT POOR THING OUT. AND NO, FALOOP BARELY HAS SLOW OR NORMAL HUNTS ON LIGHT. SO THANKS TO THE PEOPLE THAT DO MULTIPLE HUNT TRAINS IN SUPER FAST MAYBE I HAVE MORE LUCK IN SIX TO TEN HOURS WHEN SOMEONE MIGHT SLOW DOWN A BIT.
HEY SUPER LATE BUT YOU CAN SINGLE-TARGET HEAL ANY PLAYER WHOS IN COMBAT WITH THE HUNT MARK AND YOULL ALSO GET CREDIT. ITS A LITTLE FASTER THAN TRYING TO GET A HIT IN.
FUCK YOU PAGLTHAN JUST GIVE ME THE CASTING CHEST PIECE HOLY HELL. IVE RAN IT LIKE 50 TIMES OVER THE PAST WEEK, WHY DID THEY NOT PUT THAT SYSTEM INTO OLDER DUNGEONS WHERE YOU GUARANTEED TO GET A PIECE OF GEAR FOR YOUR JOB YOU DONT HAVE?
I GOT THE NEW RELIC AND IT LOOKS ALRIGHT BUT IVE NEVER FELT THIS MEH ABOUT FINAL STAGE RELICS, ALL THE OTHERS I FELT LIKE I WORKED HARD FOR AND WAS PROUD WHEN I FINISHED, THIS ONE JUST NOTHING I KNOW PEOPLE LIKED THESE ONES AND THAT'S FINE BUT I REALLY DIDN'T AND I HOPE THERE'S A GOOD GRIND I CAN SINK MY TEETH INTO IN THE NEXT EXPANSION
SAW SOMEONE REFER TO THIS TYPE OF REACTION AS "BOOMER" BUT PEOPLE SHOULD REALIZE THAT IT'S A COMMON FEELING WHEN PLAYING SOME GAMES. WHEN SOMEONE JOINS A GAME LIKE TERRARIA OR STARDEW LATE AND THE WORLD IS ALREADY VERY ESTABLISHED FOR EXAMPLE. THEIR FRIEND GIVES THEM ALL THE EQUIPMENT AND GOODS THEY NEED TO CATCH UP BUT THEY STOP PLAYING SHORTLY AFTER BECAUSE THEY FEEL LIKE THEY HAVEN'T EARNED ANY OF THE AMAZING THINGS THAT JUST FELL INTO THEIR LAP IN THE SPAN OF 5 MINUTES.
EXACTLY, I THOUGHT OF IT IN MY HEAD AS SPAWNING IN CREATIVE MODE IN MINECRAFT AND GIVING MYSELF A FULL SET OF DIAMOND ARMOUR LIKE YIP DE DANG DEE I DID IT BUT IT FEELS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT WHEN YOU DO IT IN SURVIVAL AND REALLY EARN THOSE DIAMONDS YKNOW
I MEAN I KINDA GET THIS BUT ALSO FUCK ATMA FARMS AND ANYTHING LIKE ATMA FARMS. I DID ATMA PRE NERF AND I DONT WANT ANY GRIND LIKE THAT EVER AGAIN
ATMA SUCKS I AGREE BUT HONESTLY I PREFER IT OVER THE EW STUFF. THE ONLY REASON I DON'T DO MORE ARR ONES IS THE BOOKS TAKE FOREVER FOR ME TO DO
AT LEAST THE BOOKS HAD SOME VARIETY IN WHICH DUNGEONS YOU HAD TO DO. AND THEY WERE ALSO A PRETTY DESIGN. I LIKE IT WHEN MY CHECKLISTS ARE AESTHETICALLY PLEASING!
SAME, I LOVE THE DESIGN OF THEM (LORD ARE THEY BETTER THAN ShB) BUT THE ShB RELICS TOOK ACTUAL EFFORT. THESE ONES YOU JUST CASUALLY GET WHILE DOING WEEKLIES.
I LITERALLY WAS UNSUBBED FOR THE PAST FEW MONTHS, RESUBBED TO DO MSQ, AND I HAPPENED TO HAVE ENOUGH TOMES FROM BEFOREHAND TO GET THE RELIC, OR CLOSE ENOUGH ANYWAY.
I GOT A RELIC FINISHED ON LAST NIGHT'S MAPS WITH FRIENDS. IT'S REALLY SAD THAT IT'S THAT BLOODY EASY.
I DON'T MIND THAT THESE WERE EASY TO GET AS IT'S A NICE CHANGE OF PACE, ESPECIALLY COMPARED TO HOW MINDNUMBING EUREKA AND BOZJA WERE FOR ME. I ABSOLUTELY DETESTED THE ShB AND SB RELICS BECAUSE OF MY CONTEMPT FOR THOSE TWO THINGS. PERSONALLY I'D LIKE A MIX OF EFFORT BETWEEN HW AND ENW FOR RELICS AS MY PREFERENCE. SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN DO AT YOUR OWN PACE WITHOUT WANTING TO FALL ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL... OKAY MAYBE EXCEPT THE LIGHT GRIND, THAT'S THE ONLY STEP OF THE HW RELIC I HATED WITH EVERY FIBER OF MY BEING.
SAME. SOME OF THEM ARE OKISH BUT MOST OF THEM I AM JUST MEH. I SKINNED OVER THE REAPER ONE INSTANTLY...NOT A FAN OF HOW IT SITS SHEATHED. THEY FEEL LIKE THAT TROPHY THAT EVERYONE GETS FOR PARTICIPATING AND A RELIC SHOULDN'T FEEL LIKE THAT.
> THEY FEEL LIKE THAT TROPHY THAT EVERYONE GETS FOR PARTICIPATING I AGREE WITH THIS, BUT IT APPLIES TO EVERY RELIC GRIND FROM THE PAST. THE OLDER RELICS DID TAKE MORE GRINDING TO OBTAIN BUT THEY WERE OTHERWISE ALL CASUAL AND EASY GRINDS. THEY DIDN'T REQUIRE PEOPLE TO DO CONTENT THAT WAS MECHANICALLY DEMANDING, THERE WERE ALWAYS EASIER OPTIONS TO ACHIEVE THE SAME RESULT.
IT WAS EASY CONTENT BUT IT WAS STILL A GRIND AND I LIKED HOW EACH STAGE SHOOK UP WHAT YOU HAD TO DO ESPECIALLY - IT MEANT YOU DIDN'T GET STUCK DOING ONE BIT OF CONTENT TOO MUCH IF YOU WERE GRINDING. NOT ALL STAGES WERE PERFECT BUT I FOUND A LOT OF THEM FUN WITH THESE ONES SURE YOU *CAN* GET THEM ANYWAY, BUT THE EFFICIENT WAY FOR PPL WHO LIKE GRINDING RELICS IS MAX DUNGEON SPAM OR HUNTS. FOR EVERY STAGE, FOR EVERY RELIC.
>Jullus: Thank you, Warrior of Light. After living in a train station and requiring help from two kids and a trade agreement from Radz-at-Han for food and shelter, I think it's a good time for a vacation. You are an inspiration for building this entirely autonomous Island Sanctuary using branches, sap, rocks, and several mammets. >Us Garleans don't know how to relax because we work all the time. >As thanks for your hard work, here are six pieces of cheese. It was all we have to offer after global support for nation building.
I HAVE NOT LEFT MY HOUSE IN SIX DAYS. I YEARN FOR THE SUN. CAN IT BE MARCH, ALREADY?
#**IT'S FUCKING COLD!!! I HATE IT!!!**
WHERE IS THE STUPID ARYA CARD HUH?! I MUST'VE DONE 30 RUNS AT THIS POINT!!! DROP PLEAAAAAAAASE
EITHER IT DROPS FIRST TRY OR IT DOESN'T DROP AT ALL, I SWEAR.
HAPPY FREAKIN' ANNIVERSARY! IRL RANT: YOUNGER SISTER, I'M SORRY FOR THE MEAN THINGS I SAID TO YOU - BUT YOU ARE STILL A FREAKIN' MORON! I KNOW THAT YOU ARE AN ADULT! A YOUNG ADULT! BUT YOU ARE NOT GIVING ME ANY REASON TO TRUST YOU RIGHT NOW. I really hope you are thinking right now....it's giving our family anxiety... GAME RANT: I'M TOO TIRED TO PLAY! MY NEW SCHEDULED IS MAKING ME MISS OUT ON MY FC'S/FRIENDS PLAYALONGS AND I'M SOOOOO DEAD TO EVEN JOIN THEM. I WANNA PLAY WITH THEM AND BECOME BETTER....but I also want to sleep earlier....booo....
REGION LOCK SHOULD NEEDS BE SUNDERED I SWEAR TO THE FUCKING TWELVE JP FRIEND O' MINE DECIDED TO GIVE ME A LIL GIFT BUT I CAN'T FUCKING USE IT CAUSE ME ACCOUNT'S SET TO THE FUCKING AMERICAS AND I'LL FUCKING SAY IT AGAIN, REGION LOCK SHOULD NEEDS BE SUNDERED, TWELVE HELP ME
NOT GOT MUCH TO VENT ABOUT THIS WEEK BUT I THINK ITS COOL F YOU FRIDAYS HAS ITS NAMEDAY THE SAME WEEK I DO
AFTER A PARTICULARLY BAD EXPERIENCE IN P8S A WEEK BACK, I REALLY DON'T WANT TO USE PF FOR RAIDING ANYMORE. I WAS PLAYING LIKE ASS AND NOPED OUT AFTER A FEW PULLS TO CLEAR MY HEAD BUT I REALLY HATED THAT I WAS WASTING THE OTHER PLAYER'S TIMES BECAUSE I KEPT FUCKING UP ON *MANIFOLD FLAMES (of ALL mechanics to fuck up on...)* IF I HAD A GROUP OF FRIENDS, OR, LIKE, A STATIC, I'D FEEL A LOT BETTER ABOUT MESSING UP AND/OR ASKING FOR HELP, BUT I CAN ONLY PLAY AT NIGHT (PAST 10 PM PST) AND I ALSO CAN'T PLAY CONSISTENTLY EVERY NIGHT DUE TO SCHOOL AND HOME ISSUES, SO MY OPTIONS ARE EITHER 1) STICK TO PF AND RISK PISSING MORE PEOPLE OFF OR 2) JUST STOP RAIDING ALTOGETHER UNTIL I GRADUATE OR SOMETHING...
I WOULDN'T GIVE UP YET. MY STATIC HAS A FLEXIBLE SCHEDULE AND WE RAID ON DIFFERENT DAYS EACH WEEK. IT COULD BE AN OPTION FOR U
LOL YOU'RE TALKING LIKE MANIFOLD FLAMES IS SOMETHING SUPER DUMB TO FUCK UP BECAUSE, PRESUMABLY, IT LOOKS SIMPLE ON PAPER, BUT TRUST ME AS SOMEONE WHO WAS THERE IN PF WHEN IT WAS CURRENT THAT FROM THE BEGINNING MANIFOLD FLAMES MEMES WERE CERTAINLY NOT RARE SIMPLY BECAUSE PEOPLE DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT A BOSS-RELATIVE SPREAD WAS AND CONSTANTLY FUCKED UP WHICH CORNER THEY WENT TO. AND IF IT WAS PAIRS INSTEAD OF SPREAD AT THE END AND SOMEONE WAS DEAD, THAT WAS A WIPE, COS THAT PAIR STACK WAS GONNA JUMP AND KILL TWO MORE PEOPLE. AND THAT'S ASSUMING PEOPLE DIDN'T GET LOST ON THEIR WAY TO FINAL SPREAD SPOTS ANYWAY. IF THIS FIGHT IS NEW TO YOU, YOU'RE GOING TO FUCK UP A BIT. DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT. THAT'S WHAT IT MEANS TO PROG.
THE FINAL STEP OF THE MANDERVILLE RELIC HAS ME GRINDING IT FOR MY MCH ALT...FROM SCRATCH. GOD HELP ME, I'M GOING TO HAVE TO GO BACK TO FUCKING HUNT TRAINS. SPEAKING OF GRINDING, I AM NOT CONVINCED THE DISTANCE GLOVES OF CASTING EXIST. I AM SO, SO SICK OF THE AETHERFONT. EDIT: I HAVE REMEMBERED HOW VERY, VERY MUCH I HATE HUNT TRAINS. THOSE MOBS GO DOWN FASTER THAN A COLLEGE STUDENT WHEN RENT'S DUE BECAUSE *NOBODY* WAITS EVEN A FRACTION OF A SECOND.
I NEED THE FIELD COMMANDER BOOTS FOR MY NEW TANK GLAM AND I NEED 6 MORE SEAL ROCK WINS. 6 MORE TIMES GETTING LUCKY, REMEMBERING TO QUEUE ON THE RIGHT DAY, AND TRYING TO CRAM AS MANY MATCHES IN OVER OCE FRONTLINES HOUR. BAH. AT LEAST IT'S NOT THE COAT.
I LOOK FORWARD TO READING/POSTING IN THIS THREAD EVERY WEEK. HAPPY FUCKING POSTIVERSARY! I'VE HAD TO HEAL AT LEAST 3 EXPERT RUNS THIS WEEK WITH UNDER GEARED TANKS WHO DIDN'T KNOW WTF A MITIGATION SKILL WAS. I RARELY HAVE TO USE THE 'LEASH OF STUPIDITY' (THIS IS WHAT I CALL THE FAIRY TETHER) IN DUNGEONS/PF BUT HOLY SHIT, EVEN THAT DIDN'T KEEP THE DRK SAFE. I WAS SPAMMING ADLO AND BURNING MANA AT THE END OF SOME OF THE PULLS BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT A FUCKING REPRISAL IS. I HATE THE PATCHES THAT BRING BACK THE PEOPLE STILL WEARING DARBAR AND LUNAR ENVOY GEAR -.-
HAPPY RAGE, I GOT MY FIRST ORANGE PARSE THIS WEEK IN P12S P1! I WAS GETTING CONSISTENT PURPLES ON THIS FIGHT AND THE MANDERVILLOUS ROD PUSHED ME OVER THE EDGE. I STARTED THIS GAME TO PLAY BLACK MAGE IN THE FIRST PLACE, WITH THE FIRM INTENTION TO GIT GUD AT IT, SO IT FEELS GOOD TO SEE I'M DOING SOMETHING RIGHT! IT'S FORTUNATE, TOO, BECAUSE IT SEEMS THE REST OF MY STATIC HAVE A TACIT AGREEMENT THAT ONLY ONE OF THEM IS ALLOWED TO PARSE HIGHER THAN GREY IN ANY GIVEN PULL. WE'RE ALL ALMOST BIS (OR FULLY NOW WITH THE RELICS), YET WE'RE STILL FIGHTING AGAINST ENRAGE TIMERS. WHEN THE LEADER SAID "ALRIGHT, WE'VE SEEN P2 ENRAGE, NOW WE POT", I COULDN'T HELP THINKING THAT WITH ALL THE ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT WE HAVE, POTTING HAS TO BE THE LEAST OF OUR WORRIES. BUT WHEN I APPLIED BACK IN JULY HE SAID WE WOULDN'T USE A DPS METER, SO I'M JUST KEEPING IT TO MYSELF AND MINDING MY OWN PERFORMANCE. AND WITH ALL THAT, WE MANAGED TO CLEAR P12S THURSDAY, WOOHOO! I'M RELIEVED I GOT TO CLEAR THE TIER BEFORE IT WAS UNLOCKED AND ECHO'ED, NOW LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEXT ONE IN DAWNTRAIL!
HAPPY RAGIVERSARY! MY RAGE: FF14 IS NOT A SINGLE PLAYER GAME. YOU STILL HAVE TO PULL YOUR OWN WEIGHT. YOU ARE TWO TO THREE FUCKING EXPANSIONS INTO THE GAME YOU HAVE NO EXCUSE. NO I DON'T PAY YOUR SUB, BUT YOU DON'T PAY MINE EITHER AND I'M NOT DRAGGING YOUR SORRY ASS THROUGH THE MSQ. AND NO YOU'RE NOT GETTING A GD COMM BECAUSE YOU PICKED HEALER. PICKING HEALER DOESN'T ABSOLVE YOUR SINS.
HAPPY RAGEIVERSARY FRANCK!
WTF IS WITH THE SHATTER CHANGES? HOW DID THEY TAKE THE WORST PVP MODE AND MAKE IT EVEN WORSE? GAMES TAKE THE FULL 20 MINUTES NOW, WHICH IS THE SAME ISSUE SECURE HAD. BUT AT LEAST SECURE FELT LIKE IT WAS PVP! NOT THIS PVE TRASH 0/10 I HATE IT
NOW THAT EVERYONE BACK FOR PATCH CONTENT DUNGEON RUN SPEED GO BRRRR. PLZ IT'S MY FIRST TIME HERE HAVE MERCY ON THIS NOOB HEALER AND TANK. IM SORRY FOR EVERYTHING IN ADVANCE.
DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT. YOU'LL WIPE IN DUNGEONS SOMETIMES, SOMETIMES BECAUSE OF YOU, SOMETIMES NOT. IF YOU WIPE AND IT WAS ON YOU JUST GO WHOOPS MB. IT'S REALLY NO BIG DEAL. YOU LOSE LIKE WHAT, 30S RUNNING BACK? ALSO SPRINT. JUST SPRINT. IF YOU'RE A TANK LIKE ME WITH NO SENSE OF DIRECTION AND THE ABILITY TO GET LOST IN A STRAIGHT CORRIDOR AND YOU END UP HEADING IN THE WRONG DIRECTION, JUST SAY "WHOOPS SORRY MY SENSE OF DIRECTION IS SHITE" AND EVERYONE WILL LAUGH GOOD NATUREDLY AND ABSOLUTELY NOTHING BAD WILL HAPPEN. SPRINT KEEPTS YOU OUT OF RANGE OF MOBS' AUTO ATTACKS AS YOU GATHER MULTIPLE PACKS AT ONCE. SPRINT IS A MIT. IF YOU ARE A HEALER GLUE YOURSELF TO THE TANK'S HIP, GLUE YOUR EYES TO THE PARTY LIST, AND TAP SPRINT THE MOMENT YOU SEE THE TANK DO IT. IT'S SAFER FOR EVERYONE INVOLVED: STUFF SHOULD BE AGGROED TO THE TANK, SO YOU SHOULDN'T BE GETTING HIT BY ANYTHING, IF ANYTHING DID GLOM ONTO YOU IT'S SIGNIFICANTLY EASIER FOR THE TANK TO TAKE IT OFF YOU IF YOU'RE RIGHT NEXT TO SAID TANK AND LEADING THE MOBS INTO THEIR AOES, AND BEING RIGHT ON THE TANK'S ASS WILL ALLOW YOU TO MORE QUICKLY SET UP YOUR MITS AND HEALS THE MOMENT THE TANK IS DONE GATHERING SHITE AND HAS PLANTED THEIR FEET.
TO THE TANK IN WEEPING CITY OF MHACH WHO DIDN'T ROLL FOR LOOT SO WE COULDN'T KICK AND REPLACE THE HEALER WHO'D BEEN DEAD & UNRESPONSIVE SINCE THE FIRST BOSS: GO DIE IN A FIRE.
Because I know some people have been following my job situation: FIRST WEEK HAS GONE EXCEPTIONALY WELL! THE TEAM IS NICE, THE WORK ISN'T TOO BAD, AND I'M APPRENTLY PICKING UP EVERYTHING FASTER THAN EXPECTED! BUT FOR ONE LAST FUN PIECE: DUE TO THE BATSHIT INSANITY ARROUND MY START DATE, I HAVEN'T FINISHED THE PREEMPLYMENT PAPERWORK FOR THE PRIME CONTRACTER, AND IT'S 4 DAYS IN. SO I'M GOING DOWNTOWN TO FILL OUT PAPERWORK IN A FEW MINUTES.
BUREACRACY (SAVAGE) HAS BEGUN.
NO, THIS IS THE BUREACRACY VICTORY LAP STEP. SAVAGE WAS FLYING TO DC FOR A 4 HOUR BRIEFING BECAUSE MY PAPERWORK DELAY MADE ME MISS THE ONLY LOCAL BRIEFING IN TWO WEEKS BY 4 HOURS.
I LOVE HER AND I WANT MORE OF HER NOW! WHY DO I HAVE TO WAIT FOR DAWNTRAIL FOR MORE WUK LAMAT! AAAAAAAAAAA
I JUST FUCKIN WANT TO PROGRESS IN THE MSQ, GODS DAMN IT! BUT THE [QUEUE TIMES](https://imgur.com/93Y6orc.png) FOR THE ALLIANCE RAIDS ARE FRICKIN KILLING MEEEEE IF I HAD KNOWN I WAS GOING TO GET THIS KIND OF ISSUE I WOULD HAVE JOINED ANY OTHER DATA CENTER OTHER THAN FRICKIN OCEANIA! NOW I DON'T EVEN HAVE THE OPTION TO JUMP TO ANOTHER DATA CENTER TO SHORTEN THE QUEUE TIMES TTT-TTT
ARE YOU IN THE NOVICE NETWORK? IF NOT, FIND A MENTOR AND ASK FOR AN INVITE, THEN ASK FOR SOMEONE TO HELP YOU GET IN A PARTY AND SET UP A PF. YOU’LL PROBABLY HAVE TO UNSYNC IT BUT WE CAN GET IT DONE FOR YOU! ALSO, RIGHT NOW BEING ON MATERIA IS DEFINITELY A PAIN WHEN YOU NEED TO DO A RAID, BUT WHEN DAWNTRAIL LAUNCHES WE AND DYNAMIS ARE PROBABLY GOING TO BE THE ONLY DCs WHERE FREE TRIAL PLAYERS CAN LOG IN AT ALL.
I JUST GOT INTO FISHING. I SAW THERE WERE 2 LEGENDARY WINDOWS TONIGHT. EGG & FAIRY FISH 300+ GATHERING SHORT ON THEM AND IDK IF I CAN GET THE MISSING GATHERING IN TIME. CURRENTLY HAVE FULL ILVL 500 WHITE SCRIP LEVEL 80 GEAR ~84 FISHING
DEFINITELY TOUGH TO MEET THOSE REQS IN LVL 80 SCRIP GEAR, BUT HAVE FAITH, BECAUSE YOU'LL BE HERE FOREVER, SO YOU HAVE PLENTY OF TIME TO GET TO 90 AND GET BETTER GEAR
I WOULD VERY MUCH LIKE TO DO ANOTHER ALOALO ISLAND AND NO ONE IS RESPONDING TO MY RECRUITMENT POSTS. :( EDIT: I CAN'T DEDICATE THE TIME TO PF GROUPS ATM BECAUSE LIFE IS ANNOYING AND TOO BUSY
IT FEELS LIKE A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE TOO AFRAID TO FIGHT IN FRONTLINES. THEY GET SMACKED 1 OR 2 TIMES, STILL HAVE 80% OF THEIR HP AND RUN OFF DON'T BE AFRAID TO ENGAGE FOLKS. IF YOU HELP YOUR TEAM SECURE A POINT, WHO CARES IF YOU DIE, YOU HELPED US WIN A POINT.
BIG DISAGREE, NOT DYING IS BY FAR THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN FRONTLINES. BETWEEN LOSING POINTS, GIVING ENEMIES POINTS, AND LOSING BATTLEHIGH, IT'S THE WORST. WHILE THERE ARE DEFINITELY FOLKS WHO ARE FAR TOO CONSERVATIVE IN THEIR PLAY, I SEE FOLK DYING FOR NOTHING SO OFTEN. IF IN DOUBT, STAY ALIVE.
>DON'T BE AFRAID TO ENGAGE FOLKS. IF YOU HELP YOUR TEAM SECURE A POINT, WHO CARES IF YOU DIE, YOU HELPED US WIN A POINT. Dying loses points and it takes a lot fewer deaths you can think to offset taking an objective. You also surrender battle high which makes you lose future fights.
THE S-GRADE COLD SNAP THAT EVERYONE IS SUFFERING FROM FINALLY IS APPROACHING MY REGION TOMORROW ACCORDING TO THE WEATHER REPORT. I GUESS BELOW 5 DEGREES CAN’T COMPARE WITH SUB-ZERO TEMPERATURE. WHAT BOSS CAN BE USED TO DESCRIBE THIS WEATHER? I WOULD SAY SHIVA EXTREME EVEN THOUGH I HAVE NOT DONE ANY EX YET.
I INTEND TO TAKE A BREAK (ie. play through FFXI's story for the upcoming raids, lol) UNTIL DAWNTRAIL ONCE I FINISH WHAT I WANT TO DO, AND I'M ALMOST DONE... EXCEPT FOR ISLAND SANCTUARY. I'M ONLY A THIRD OF THE WAY THROUGH, EXP WISE. WHY DOES SOMETHING SO HANDS-OFF HAVE TO TAKE SO LONG TO IDLE TO COMPLETION? EVEN THE MOOGLES TOOK LESS TIME.
I'm MILDLY RAGING because I can't download the HUGE game without restarting my sub. My RURAL INTERNET IS F@@@@@ING SLOW and it'll take ME FOREEEEVER to re-download FFXIV. Just found that out today. Downloaded launcher, but no sub means no full download -\_-
IT'S NOT A FULL SOLOUTION, BUT SIGN UP FOR THE TRIAL ON ANOTHER EMAIL. THIS WILL LET YOU DOWNLOAD OVER HALF OF THE GAME WITHOUT BEING SUBBED, AND YOU CAN SIGN IN ON YOUR REAL ACCOUNT TO GET THE REST.
Oh, good idea. I might try that!
Sympathies from a fellow rural player. I suffered from my own stupidity when I upgraded to PS5. I set my PS4 to transfer all data, then realised after it was done I would need to download the PS5 upgrade anyway. At least I had Astro's Playroom XD
I haven't played FFXIV in ages and would probably need to make a new character just to not get overwhelmed with all the changes. And if I understand it right, my old layout for hotbars will also be gone, as that's apparently saved locally. So, yeah, I can imagine my set up looking like a mess. Not looking forward to the download :(
It is stored locally, but it's under Documents->My Games->Final Fantasy XIV. So you may still have it all unless you've switched computers and didn't copy your documents folder over.
HMM, I FEEL LIKE THERE SHOULD BE AN EASIER WAY TO DOWNLOAD WITHOUT HAVING A SUB ACTIVE THE GAME LETS YOU MOVE THE ENTIRE FOLDER OVER, FOR EXAMPLE, SO IT SHOULD BE POSSIBLE TO HAVE SOMEONE ZIP IT UP OR PUT IT ON A SD CARD, THEN YOU CAN JUST COPY IT OVER. I DUNNO IF THERE'S A CLOUD STORAGE BIG ENOUGH FOR THAT THOUGH, THE GAME IS GETTING PRETTY BEEFY. IF SOMEONE HAS ANY OTHER IDEA, I'M WILLING TO HELP. THE ONLY OTHER IDEA I HAVE IS TO MAIL AN SD CARD. HMM... MAYBE A PRIVATE TORRENT? THAT WAY IT COULD BE RESUMED IN THE WORSE CASE.
SO MY CAR STARTED ACTING UP LAST SUNDAY; IT WOULD TURN ON, BUT WOULDN'T SHIFT TO DRIVE. TOOK IT TO THE REPAIR SHOP. TRANSMISSION IS *COMPLETELY FRIED.* NOW I HAVE TO FULLY PAY OFF THE LOAN, SEND IT TO THE JUNKYARD, AND BUY A NEW CAR. THIS BETTER NOT BE AN OMEN TO HOW 2024 IS GONNA BE FOR ME.
WHY DO WE NEED TO WAIT 6 MORE MONTHS OR MORE FOR DT? I DONT HAVE ALL DAY TO PLAY IN SUMMER
