FFXIV Random Praise Thread: Time to melee RDM

[Seravi Edalborez]

In all likelyhood it will probably just pick one theme for the multi-stage ones. Titan's P1 almost certainly (as it played in the SMN trial), though I dunno about Levi or Shiva.

[garudyne]

Someone finally won the Jumbo on Leviathan! After all these weeks x_x~

[Kaisha]

Just noticed the tooltips for the mount descriptions.

[Shaano]

13 hours 10105 error and i can play again ; ; <3

[Qeomash]

I really don't understand why there isn't an immediate kick if you try logging into the same character while it's logged in.

[Kaisha]

For the same reason both XI & XIV are the only MMOs that love to hold a D/C'd character for 5min+.


Replaying some TERA recently just made me appreciate XIV's UI all the more, despite it lacking some QoL stuff still. Christ is the UI resizing a pain in the ass in TERA, and no preview boxes either for shit not onscreen, and seeing the 50 some buff icons that aren't relevant to you as a healer on every PT member

[Deadgye]

Feeding a golem in T9 four meteors and not wiping always feels so good.

[Yukari]

This happened. Then after farming for 3 hours in a party, the group got 7 titan whistles + 1 nightmare.

[Shaano]

so possibly one person got fucked over hard core if no titan/nightmare while everyone else is livin the dream lol

[Yukari]

Well, we had 1 member missing so 2 of those went to 2 different pugs. Also, it's a static so we're farming 3 more some other day. Just super surprised that 3 hours netted 7 whistles.

[Taint]

DW Blade!! 1/82 (our static guesstimate)

Really thankful most of the group stuck with it to help me, they have been long capped on T13 drops themselves besides the sword.

[Ratatapa]

I'm now 0/50 on SCH book, I should almost stay with my Zeta as this rate

[kisada]

literally have never seen dw claws drop. like the only thing i want from t13 cause i'm too lazy to finish zeta. at this point i might as well just do zeta

[Raldo]

Part praise, part question:

My retainer brought me back a Mossy Stone Staff. Big whoop, what could these things possibl--what the fuck, they're 50k?

So, why the hell are these worth anything? There's a triple melded HQ staff up for 33k, so it's not the end product. The mossy spears sell for <10k, so it's not desynth. What else...?


Bonus praise:
Just fucked up my GSM Artisan offhand synth. Got the HQ to 86%, NQ'd it. Why is that praise you ask? I desynthesized it, with a ~75% chance of success, succeeded, and got 5 of my 6 sealants back.

[Seravi Edalborez]

I've wondered why they go for that much too, I assumed just idiots desynthing it but I dunno... do the RMT BLM squads still use Astrolabe or did they "upgrade" to the mossy thing?

At first I kinda wanted to put this into random complain, but then I realised how much I actually enjoyed the show, so here it comes:

This weekend there was that Role Play Convention over here, on which SE had a booth with Shiva NM and Odin battle challenges. In Shivas case it was basically a free shirt that you could get by slamming your head into the keyboard, because all chars had 130 /135 gear. So after some ppl got their shirts, they got confident and went like: "Cmon guys, lets do Odin! With 130 gear it's gonna be a walk in the park!"

And then they proceeded to wipe and horribly so. Most of them didn't even get to the DPS race at the end. I was kinda standing there watching them (cause I knew a guy from the staff) and there were two things that caught my attention. 1. At some point the oh-so-friendly casuals started blaming each other, poiting fingers and excluding ppl who in their opinion kept wiping them, which was absolutely hilarious. 2. You could pretty much watch the confidence fading of their faces with each wipe as they realise how much they actually suck. Especially after all the badass bragging how this is gonna be easy going with Dreadwyrm gear. Cause gear is obviously everything.

[The Stig]

Hm, is this Odin from fanfest (but brought to ilvl130 standards) or Odin from the current live game?

Even with 2 tanks and everyone at ilvl130 it in theory should be impossible to lose and should be winnable under 5 minutes.

Why do I get the feeling it was tweaked lol.

For those that wondered, the distinct differences are:
Fanfest Odin = ilvl 100 adjusted, Einhenjar can be silenced. Possibly stunnable too but I don't recall being able to land a stun. Will only Zantesuken at 10/15%.
Live Game Odin = supposedly ilvl95 adjusted but I don't believe this to be the case; or people are extremely terrible (Zantesuken at 60%?) when this was first released. Cannot be silenced or stunned, and will Zantesuken at 6 minutes or 15% of his HP.

If it has indeed been ilvl 130 adjusted for example then everyone would need to be rather good to meet the dps requirement.

I would LOVE to have seen this. It has always been something I want to do, round up a group of MMO players and observe as the foundations begin to fall.

What was the Odin battle prize by the way. An odin shirt?

[ReticentHedgehog]

I've got that pony collecting fever now that I've got little else to do. Ramuh and Titan down so far.

I haven't healed Titan Ex in months; I didn't realize it was solo-healable in DF at this point.

[3.141592]

Odin from the current live game

^ This.
I was standing there for about 2,5 hours watching it and it def wasn't tweaked. They were playing on Lich iirc (there was a reddit thread about it).

What was the Odin battle prize by the way. An odin shirt?

Yeah :O

[Korialstrasz]

No surprise that a bunch of randoms thrown together at a convention wouldn't be able to do it. I've been joining a lot of "farms" lately where people still can't do it. In hours upon hours of attempts yesterday we wiped more times than we killed it. I'd normally leave, but groups for it are rare and hard to put together so I just deal with it. Got my pants at least, so there's that.
