[Megathread] Final Fantasy XIV

[dope_danny]

Ya I think I took to SMN so quicky because it reminded me of my Aff lock back when I played him in TBC.

Ill keep that in mind about the guild, I just got a quest to go there anyway. I am interested in what changes they will give SMN come Stormblood.

Also I must say....The price for the Stormblood collector edition is fucken insane. It will be the first FFXIV collector edition I don't buy.

Yeah i just bought the PSN digital collectors. You get all the mounts, pets and glamour weapons as well as earrings and a RDM pet for prepurchasing early. Maybe if there was more stuff like WoW's art books i would be interested but an ugly statue? bleh leave that to the folks who buy all those statue collectors editions who want to hoard cheap plastic and plastercasts.

Then there's me who spent entire months income to get that physical Collector's Edition.

Even pre-ordered ESO: Morrowind physical Collector's.. and I don't even play that anymore.. Makes situation even worse that it was PS4 version, and I don't have that system - ESO account is for PC.

[Graeham]

Welp another loss for me. . We were 900-600-700 and we threw absolutely hard in the 8 player Shatter.

Ugh. That sucks.

I got thrown into two of the level 50 24 man matches as well, oddly enough. They went terribly, we didn't have a healer and I didn't even get any light for my anima.

I'm on 7/10 now but my god I can't wait for this to be over.

I might do 30 Feast one because I actually don't mind losing in Feast for some reason.

Are you referring to the physical copy of the Collector's Edition? Yeah, $200 USD is ridiculous, no matter how many statue figures they pack in there with it. I'll just get the digital deluxe version (which has most all of the CE stuff minus the physical items).

Ya I was, the max I pay for a CE is $150 and for it to be that much it better be well worth it.

This seems to equal HS CE and yet cost sooo much more.

LOL, I be one of those people but not spending $200 for this.

At some point of this bird farming business, karma is gonna bite me in the ass...

Hopped into Sophia Ex group last night. 4 kills in, whistle drops. First time I've seen that whistle drop. Rolled 99.

Great for me, but for the person that rolled 97 and lost...I would've been some kind of fucking salty were that me. Now to get a Sephirot clear and farm that one...then on to Zurvan. Putting Zurv off since there's almost always 3+ groups for that in PF nowadays.

This is how karma will work, next time you roll a 99, someone rolls a 100. D:

Just won again, so I'm at 8/10 myself.

As for Feast? I think it's less frustrating because it's over quicker - win or lose. If one team is stomping the other than it tends to be over very fast. If the battle is more even, it lasts a little longer but it's a more satisfying experience since there's less players involved and it's smoother overall. Frontlines, meanwhile, lasts for longer and even if one team is being stomped they have to wait around for the other two to fight over first and second place.

I always thought rolls in this game capped at 99...I've yet to see a roll of 100 on loot in 2 years of playing.

[Kaelwryn]

I always thought rolls in this game capped at 99...I've yet to see a roll of 100 on loot in 2 years of playing.

I've seen a few.

[Gibblewink]

100 is probably the result of a tiebreaker if it is so rare.

[Remilia]

I got it once, but it's rare.

[Aruhen]

One should count the same as a 100 imo. ... yes that's the number that I get most of the time.

[Jtbrig7390]

Go to palace of the dead then. As long as you have the job unlocked you go from 1-60 in like an hour in there just for that run. Lets you try any class and plan the hotbar out. I did that for Astrologian and now its my favourite heal job.

You level 1-60 or just get to try out each of those levels?

[Remilia]

You level 1-60 or just get to try out each of those levels?

You gain exp for every 10 floors.

[Jtbrig7390]

You gain exp for every 10 floors.

Oh neat....

Got 50 last weekend, did:

3 primals hard mode -> Easy
first few hard mode dungeons (Satasha + Haukke) -> Easy
Garuda Extreme -> Wiped because people didn't kill the satin feather thingy
Copperbell Hard -> Healer just couldn't heal the first boss..

How does the first boss work for warriors anyway? Do I tank everything, the slimes etc while constantly dragging him out of the fire?

I mean, I tried that and I got 4 debuffs, no esuna + Heavy damage = splat

Either you tank the boss at the very beginning of the the fight (where the barrier is) and the healer heals thru it (you need to also make sure you're facing the adds away from the healer/dps) or you drag everything to the very end. Both are pretty much on the healer to be able to heal thru it. First is a little easier at the beginning, less damage but is constant damage throughout the fight (as you'll be standing in fire). Second is harder at the start but you'll not be dealing with constant fire damage.

[Granyala]

Heh Who said "they won't nerf Anima relics any further"?
Step forward, please.

[Gutler]

Looks like i may actually try and get another maxed out relic (probably bard) with these nerfs.
