Had an idiot Bard yesterday that didn't want to silence, then didn't want to feed, then had the gall to start ordering everyone else around.

Wish there was a way to not make HQs on quick synthesis and not gather HQ items.

For 99% of items I don't want or need HQs, shit just takes up inv space.

**Sephiroth** · 2014-04-06 17:19

I think it's best to put everyone with silence in the rotation. Our group used to double up when we had 3 or 4 silencers. That way if one missed they have a backup. PLDs tend to be the backup.

The lack of accuracy gear for casters is ridiculous. Having to farm T4 and T5 now for casting legs or weapon to make up for the accuracy loss on i100 body. Probably cleared T4 about 50 times and only seen casting legs once, yet I've probably seen about 10 healing rings. Casting body was super rare too, still never seen that. Why aren't all drops equal?

**Obsidian** · 2014-04-06 17:24

All drops are (likely) equal. Your sample size is effectively meaningless.

**Niiro** · 2014-04-06 17:35

They most definitely are not equal.

You could say that, and you could be right, but so many people say the same about certain Coil drops. Plus SE admitted to fucking up T1 loot pools, what's to say they haven't fucked up loot distribution elsewhere?

**Niiro** · 2014-04-06 18:09

It's not "fucked up", it's working as intended.

They're not gonna make body piece and a ring the same drop rate. One is vastly more valuable than the other.

**Seravi Edalborez** · 2014-04-06 18:46

Is there any way to, with a text command, toggle between Legacy and Standard movement? I've had to make a toggle button for /autofacetarget for T7 but I'd like to also be able to toggle movement type without menu navigation if someone knows an obscure syntax for it.

**Kicoe** · 2014-04-06 18:52

Had to replace one DD and one healer within our Coil static due to various reasons, T6 down first night and T7 to like 35% second night when we were able to raid again with the new guys. The healer might not want to play WHM anymore all of a sudden. I'm really out of ideas. If only people would be happy with the role they play. Why is it so difficult when a new patch goes live? Unsure if the WHM was serious, but if this continues my static will just end up breaking up.

Software Token on phone reset, and I don't have the Registration Password to renew it (I don't even know if that'd work to re-authenticate the phone). Tried using the Emergency Removal Password, it says it sent an e-mail to confirm. Check e-mail, nothing. Tried logging in, wrong password.

Tried doing a password reset using e-mail, just to confirm I'm receiving e-mails. Got the e-mail for that:

Try the Emergency Removal Password again:

Welp, fuck. What do?

Got turned down from a coil static (starting from T5) for not having cleared Titan EX yet. The funny thing is I'm further progressed through T5 than they were. The guy is blacklisted now after outing himself as a complete and utter chump.

The catch with me, I was away for around 5 weeks and my static dumped me during that period, so I've been forced to try and clear Titan EX without a static or with much help. It's just about completely futile. For those that haven't had the chance to tackle Titan EX this way (out of the warmth and safety of your static or FC), maybe give it a shot and see how the other half lives? At least before you decide that having cleared the EX primal chain is a sensible requirement for a coil static starting from T5. Paying for a decent team for Titan EX is actually starting to seem like a reasonable alternative, something I never would have considered in the past. I'm also motivated by the chance of dragging some of the DF dregs through the fight and winning, but that's rapidly fading.

**Niiro** · 2014-04-06 23:27

I have every primal weapon (including the caster shield I have no use for) on my main char and 4 weapons on my alt.

Every clear was with a PUG.

Just go to support center, as long as your data is complete (bvirtdate, security questions), they will removes it. Happens to me few times because of changing phones lol

**Obsidian** · 2014-04-06 23:47

So using the Player Search thing to find tanks to pester for Coil runs is a thing now. Gonna need an /anon command soon.

Also really wish the new Primal mounts were buyable with Rowena's Tokens. I have 24 of them just rotting in my inventory.

That's nice dear, but your words aren't going to magically improve the quality of my local DF/PF participants.

Also, I'd wager you probably got all that done before 2.2, correct?

Blowfin, I think you're on Tonberry? So am I. All but one of my clears have been through DF picking Jp only as the language. Sometimes it takes a few goes to get the right group, but I usually get the clear within an hour or two of trying. PF groups on Tonberry are pretty useless but because the Japanese have a ping of less than 10, it makes the fight a lot easier for them. Give it a go

Yep I'm on Tonberry, can't add my FFXIV info on here for some reason. Yeah I've been picking all languages and have tried JP only a couple of times. Honestly the Japanese groups have not been that great either. I'll keep plugging away at it, it's just going to be a RNG with groups. More than anything I needed to vent after a pretty frustrating weekend.

Have you done any runs post week-9? Competency rate went down the drain on Hyperion since all the players who can clear it are fully done with it.

I'm surprised SE added squat for token use. Could have hamfisted it into making your atma weap instead of all the fate/myth farming crap.

Exactly, there's no reason for anyone who's cleared these fights to give a fuck in 2.2. They've screwed the content in a single patch cycle AND decided to set it up as a gate for Levi/Moogle. Nice work SE.

**Qeomash** · 2014-04-07 02:30

Took me most of the weekend in various groups to finally secure a win this afternoon. 6/8 got the achievement when finished, but was actually a surprising run that won on the third attempt.

...nevermind that we'd basically wiped right at the end but that I was able to stay alive long enough to burst the last sliver of health.

Trying to finish the fight now is annoying at best. The Echo buff makes strange behavior the norm, which doesn't help when people don't know the fight to begin with let alone how to react to starting heart phase with gaols up.
