FFXIV Random Praise Thread: Time to melee RDM

[Alistaire]

Maybe /shrug? I guess /sulk is a bit much...

I'm sooo looking forward to these new dyes; I'm gonna be the gaudiest:



Wonder how that metallic gold will look...on a house.

[kisada]

how do you get these dyes?

[Seravi Edalborez]

Time machine to 2.4

[Modoru]

Shrug is hardly noticeable. Sulk's too much.

[Seravi Edalborez]

Upset is like a sigh but "is disgusted" doesn't convey the right emotion for a /sigh.

[Modoru]

And really, when you do a "sigh", you're going for a "goddammit, here we go again..." feeling, and nothing quite hits that spot.

[Alistaire]

Upset is like a sigh but "is disgusted" doesn't convey the right emotion for a /sigh.

Semi-related, /upset is /disgusted from xi... /yes is /nod...first time I realised that I had tried /nod, got "doesn't exist", looked through, did /yes and see "you nod..." and I'm sure there were a couple others but even those 2 are kind of a wtf why didn't they just carry over the command if they're gonna carry over the description?

[Seravi Edalborez]

Not explicitly praise but I have now played 6/9 jobs in 2nd Coil, missing BRD and melee.

[Kipling]

Phew. Finally started Savage this week after people were gone for literally almost 3 months for vacations and extended work trips (military). Got it down in about 9 hours. The end of the fight made me feel like my heart was going to give out.

(PLD friend's video as I was dumb and forgot to record the attempt we actually won).

[Rocl]

jealous ;\

[Deuce]

yeah I'd like to do these fights, but half my static doesn't want to

[Arthars]

cant blame them tho......no additional reward im sure they'll harrass you when 2.5 comes and savage coil 3 drops 3 gears instead of 2 XD

[Deuce]

cant blame them tho......no additional reward

true, the titles are kinda nice, but hardly an incentive to relearn each fight.

im sure they'll harrass you when 2.5 comes and savage coil 3 drops 3 gears instead of 2 XD

and 3 pieces of gear from 1 turn? madness...

[Seravi Edalborez]

The thing that kills our desire to do it is that if we don't get 6-9 done on Tuesday night it's hard to get everyone together again before next reset except sometimes Mondays. Which means that to do that we have to put ourselves through a slog on Tuesday in Savage and whatever of the week we can, then cleanup/clear on Monday (right before the Tuesday slog again).

[Rocl]

wow you guys forgot the all important gamerscore achievement points

[Arthars]

thats because people just wanna clear it and logout

if savage coil does offer something appealing aside from title, watch those serious peeps logging on 24/7

[Deadgye]

Time conflicts have killed our ability to do it too. We weren't able to do 1honey before and that made the second half too hard for us, but since then we've gotten the h.allag bow, axe, and crook so we can probably do it now. Half the group wants to do it, half the group doesn't care. But we can only meet up one day a week now so we do 6-9 as quick as possible.

Don't think you can get any closer to the daily reset than that, and it *did* count for yesterday, so awesome.

Our schedule is pretty modest, Tuesday/Thursday/Friday, 3 hours each session. It's not as hard as we'd be pushing if this was a true new content push but I think it's enough to make some decent progress. Our server is super backwater, that Turn 6 Savage kill is actually server first because NO ONE on the server is doing it or has even tried to my knowledge.

We waited a long time, and we have some people in the group who if left to their own devices are not super interested in titles because those types of rewards fall under the category of "prestige" rather than actual loot which is just "useful and also awesome". The main thing we're trying to do by attempting Savage is to give everyone a chance to work together in an even more stressful environment, hone our group and personal mechanics, and just work as a group in general. We'd been clearing 9 lazy farm mode since early May so we thought this would be a good way to work on what I mentioned above but also get people back into the raiding spirit for 2.4 since this break between patches feels like forever at the moment.

Time conflicts have killed our ability to do it too. We weren't able to do 1honey before and that made the second half too hard for us, but since then we've gotten the h.allag bow, axe, and crook so we can probably do it now. Half the group wants to do it, half the group doesn't care. But we can only meet up one day a week now so we do 6-9 as quick as possible.

We were afraid of that too, but we went in with only 3 HA weapons and we actually had issues pushing TOO MUCH DPS in the first phase, meaning we'd push her when she had just popped briars in bad spots but were nowhere near the second honey. We had to slow down in the kill video I think to make sure they popped in safe spots before we pushed. Once people get comfortable with breaking tethers and hiding for floral trap it's a lot easier to push DPS (I also called where the person with reticle was going before hand, so everyone knew once they got away from there they could go back to doing damage).

Clearing savage coil 6-9 should award another separate achievement with exclusive shiny mount.
