[Megathread] Final Fantasy XIV

[Remilia]

@Remilia: yeah it would be nice if we could add sound effects to macros w/o having to see the syntax in the actual text.

Well, I mean it's obnoxious cause they keep using sound effects. :P
I don't want to hear a billion beeps.

[Granyala]

Ah I see.

That's understandable.

So I have a question. Why do some warrior tanks do the obnoxious please waste a gcd and dispel my 5 second pacification debuff macros. I'm not wasting a GCD on that shit, I rather cast an actual damage spell.

I have it for my static, where the bard plays Wardens when I need it. That and I occasionally get it from healers/bards who thank me for reminding them.

Mine is only 3 lines. There are ones that count down with full sound effects, and that's obnoxious.


I've seen threads on reddit where people get really salty over it, and I just don't get it. The macros there to let you know I'm pacified. I promise you I don't mind if you want to keep on DPSing - and will generally accept that as the default. But if you have nothing else going on, or a bard and can fit it in an OGCD, or there's a tank swap mechanic, feel free to throw me a bone.

That just doesn't look quite as nice in a /p macro though.

[Remilia]

Yeah... I've gotten multiple ones where it's a count down from 20, 15, 10, 9, 8, etc etc...

[Kaelwryn]

I don't mind a simple "Pacification in 5! <se.1>" macro but anything that does a count down or has a bajillion sounds to it annoys me. Those are unnecessary and just make me less inclined to esuna you.

[Sorrior]

Ok yeah THESE ones are super annoying abd I hste the ones with like 500 sounds

[Granyala]

Well you either have a macro that counts down or dispelling you is wasted effort due to the sum of the delays mentioned above.
I need to know the exact second you will get the debuff so I can precast the dispel.

Used (skill name)
Pacified in 5
Pacified in 1

Would be the most helpful, not sure whether it's possible to be that precise though, considering server lag.

Speaking of sound macros: I always cringe when tanks count down from 20 on a pull and cycle through all available sound effects.

[Gutler]

Oh yeah, this is my character btw. >.> Don't have a SS from the back though.

Fashion truly is the true end game.

I feel simple costumes are the best in PSO2 I used a costume that kinda looks like Cyan from show by rock (her performance costume and work out costume included)

[Granyala]

Wee, finally done! Fits in nicely.

[Kaelwryn]

Congratz.

[Granyala]

Thanks.
Couldn't allow my DRK to have his 240 before my poor WHM after all.

Also, since 3.38 doesn't add actual content, being done gives me plenty of room do derp around in Legion for a bit.

[Kaelwryn]

Yeah, I don't feel so bad leaving my 2nd relic unfinished, even tho I'm on the 2nd to last step for it. I've been using the demon invasions to level up/gear up for legion since I have no interest in playing FFXIV atm*.

[dope_danny]

Started replaying FF5 and the second boss in the canal is that thing in satasha HM right down to the bloody tail screw knocking you down to 5hp. I completely forget they have used bosses from 5.

[Granyala]

Heheh. Isn't the snail in one of the current experts a boss from an old FF too?

[Kaelwryn]

Yeah, Ymir is from FFVI.

[Granyala]

Great. Now that my relic is done I'm bored. Too soon to reactivate WoW (everything I care about is 100 anyway) and other games are on hold till my swiss contact gets his internet back.
