we used to then we started having issues with building LB. ended up deciding to ignore death sentence manipulation entirely so MT would take more damage. it's still really important to watch HP though when you're about to push into the first dive bomb phase.

The latency problems last night in DF. Holy hell at all the rubber banding. Thankfully after 10 minutes it quit and never came back, but that was one hell of an awkward run.

**kisada** · 2013-12-04 12:49

don't know if you have time warner cable but there have been massive rubberbanding and lag issues with that provider, as well as the ones who have routes related to them. big time issues since the last mini-update.

**Corrderio** · 2013-12-04 12:53

Nah, I have Charter. It was happening to everyone. DF I went in was one in progress that got past the first boss and everyone was complaining about the lag. Someone in my LS was also having the same problem.

**Waraji** · 2013-12-04 13:07

Hmm, we were doing Turn5 last night just fine w/o any lag issues.

On that note, anyone have link to the HP% Overlay program?

I finally said fuck it and tried BattlePing. Set the server to Chicago (even though I'm in CA since people have said its the best choice for XIV). And haven't had any lag spikes since. I had a few very rare ones that only lasted 1-2sec from a CA server. But very happy and it makes the game so much more enjoyable now.

What's the difference between Trial and Member for BattlePing? And how much is a membership? I wouldn't mind this for Titan so I don't have to deal with BS plumes during Titan. Granted I"m getting better dodging but holy hell it sucks being out of them and seeing me eat 3 of them.

Did a PUG Titan HM last night as DRG trying to carry someone. All DPS seemed above average in gear with the DRG in a lot of myth gear. I throw up parser to see how well I do vs this guy (He had 100 more HP than me but I didn't have time to figure out if it was an extra myth piece over my allagan piece or not). As the fight goes on I start to notice that there's only one set of Chaos Thrust up. I start to observe closer and realize the only other DRG DOTs that weren't mine were Phlebotomize and Fracture. He was only spamming the Full Thrust combo and sometimes putting up Phlebotomize. Through each. Single. Phase. I mean, I can understand full thrust spamming post-heart to focus on dodging but not that bullshit. Even when the DRG used LB3 at the end I still outparsed him by 30DPS (was actually my highest parse on Titan w/o using a LB at 212 while the drg was at 180).

I've now become completely skeptical of myth-only equipped players. I suppose I should have seen this coming.

Trial will kick you after 20minutes I think? And it costs something like $5/mo?

Oh, so that wasn't just me. Kind of a shame, it actually made WP semi-challenging for a little bit. Maybe I'll try running it with the monitor turned off tonight...

Hmm that isn't too bad. I might test it on a DF Titan some time.

I already put my 2 cents in the Official News topic. I shouldn't be surprised by SE's logic, yet I am.

**Rehn** · 2013-12-04 15:19

I can understand the lockout for extreme primal reward, since its equivalent of you upgrading a +1 relic. I still can't believe they don't implement a per-job basis for myth tomes and the like. Expand that to crystal tower and you have people enjoying going as other jobs for once, and can freely roll need for what they go as. For accessories, it'll be more sketchy since it involves all jobs rather than job specific, but there should be a work-around for that.

But hey, that's ok. I'll just continue playing as PLD just to lot gear for my MNK which I barely touch except for turn 5.

**Manako** · 2013-12-04 15:43

Found a decent "static" 2 weeks ago, was hoping to clear turn 1-4 with them on Tuesday because my husband was busy Monday night -- everyone said they were cool with this. Log in Monday to be told they did T1 already, that it should be "easy" for my husband and I to pug T1 and do T2&4 with them the same day. Told them to just go on because seemed unlikely we'd be able to find/form a PT with 6 other people before they want to run T2 (and most pugs dont want to just do T1 anymore anyway) , and that obviously our schedules arent working out. Guy wants to know how long I think I'll be, and that it would be sad to break up our static.

Was able to coordinate going with a friend starting at 8pm Tuesday, took an hour to find the final 2 remaining party members and then only jewelry dropped T1 and T2 XD Perhaps I'll be posting in the praise thread next, as we are hopefully doing T4 tonight. T1 takes like 15 minutes :/ would have been a whole lot less painful for everyone if the first group had waited -- and its more beneficial if you're trying to gear up the group.

Ran coil last night as PLD
ALL drg equipment

Fuck All drgs

**Gulkeeva** · 2013-12-04 15:52

- Primal Extreme mode loot and Crystal Tower loot will have a 1 week lockout. You have to beat all three EM Primals to loot one item.

#FFXIV Crystal Tower - Loot restriction is 1 item per week. Once you loot an item, you have to wait for it to reset to loot again.

If its really quite, you can heat it... me facepalming hard atm

Damit SE< way to ruin my hopes and dreams of gearing up all my alts easy mode qq

**Taruranto** · 2013-12-04 16:19

Well, I guess you can say it could have been worse, at least it is just a loot lockout...
