"Solidarity Tombstones"

I mean yes "Soldiery" is a stupid word but cmon.

[Rocl]

There's no C button on my controller.

playing with a controller? there's your problem

[gaogaostegosaurus]

Press C, click Hat icon. Takes like 2 seconds. Not that hard.

What's this clicking you speak of

[Kaisha]

Watching 300k gil's worth of crafting materia blowing up in my face. The other 200k survived.

7/12 on perfect melds on my Patrician's build so far, which I apparently need all of for a decent chance of HQing the shit needed for Artisan's glasses/tools, thanks to a high Craftsmanship requirement for whatever reason.

Need to get off my ass and see what's cheap to craft that I can SB for tier 2 & 3 craft materia, and recoup some of the losses.

Spoiler: show

At least I can craft my buttons in a blanket in 5-6 less steps now with what I got done so far

Spoiler: show

Good thing gil is pretty much worthless otherwise

I refuse to actually type or say that absurd name. Only Sol Tomes.

[Deadgye]

I kept calling them soldier tombs until my mouth eventually became able to say soldiery.

Is spamming flares now a thing for BLMs in DF? I've got two BLMs (one yesterday and one just now) doing that shit while doing Pharos/Brayflox. They would open with flare, cast 1 or 2 fires II and flare again, rinse and repeat, painfully slow and painfully annoying due to pulling aggro almost instantly, makes me want to just leave and eat the 30 min penalty.

[SamanosukeShiva]

it's been a thing, and reason is that it does absolutely massive dps. You can get 650-700 dps on 3 target mobs easily just spamming flares. Though from what you described, they didnt even do the rotation correctly, it's even more damage when it's done right.

If cleaning Brayflox HM fast and efficiently isn't your thing, sure, spamming Flare is the worst thing you can do. But when you output 850-900 DPS in each of the two big pulls in that dungeon, while not drawing aggro (Quelling Strikes, competent tank), and the first 2 bosses are over in less than 7 minutes... Why not do it?

[Kirbyprime]

Fire III, Flare, Flare, Flare, Flare, Flare, Flare, why aren't they all dead yet?

What penalty?

I gave up on catching a Titanic Sawfish ages ago when I was lvling FSH but now that it's used for something I figured I'd give it a shot every now and then.

So I show up at Westwind around 6am and approximately ALL OF THE FUCKING TIME once 8am rolls around a few mins later...fucking clouds, clouds everywhere.

[Shenrien]

Queued for daily expert, and it's been about 8 minutes and nothing so I decided to go unlock the last 2 dances, and the queue pops up in the middle of the limsa cutscene on the boat, fucking longest cutscene ever made me miss the dungeon -_-; why the fuck cant these be skipped?!?

[Taruina]

Tanks who insist on speedrunning Brayflox yet throw zero cooldowns for the over9000 mob pulls. Oddly enough, PLDs are the worst offenders. I hope they get super AIDS.

? boat? transportation cutscenes can be disabled in config.

[Raldo]

The dance cutscene that occurs on a boat. Not transportation.

Though I must say I'm rather surprised to hear that you can't skip those dance cutscenes.

[Rocl]

any cutscene in which you have a prompt you can't skip i've noticed

i don't remember if the dance ones do or not but '~'

[Indomitable Will]

Fire III, Flare, Flare, Flare, Flare, Flare, Flare, why aren't they all dead yet?

if it takes that many flares from 2 blm's, thar be a problem, yargh.

[Taim Meich]

LTTP but still very annoying: 26 Twintania kills, 0 swords 9 lances. No one in our group has Dragoon as main, only 3 at 50.

[Rocl]

so many brayfloxs and no minions rip
