FFXIV Random Praise Thread: Time to melee RDM

[Meresgi]

Holy hell, Monk is tons of fun. Definitely has a solid design.

My monk and drg are both at 35 now (lvled up drg for blood for blood) still on the fence of which I want to take to 50 1st.

[The Stig]

I see a lot of movement from MNKs when I tank and I'm always mindful in how much I move so I don't screw up their DPS.

I know they move around to maximise DPS, but it seems a bit annoying to me. It's still a class I'd level (dat AF!) but I think I'll do DRG (dat AF!!!!!) first then MNK.

[Seravi Edalborez]

I hate having a MNK or DRG if I'm tanking something that casts spells; no pants-on-head dance circle strafing being invincible to spells.

But playing them? Yeah. Pretty fun. Not just 123 combo city.

Same here. I found DRG to be too straightforward for my taste. I know the irony behind that since I main PLD but fuck you I'm tanking.

As a MNK I've gotten used to circling around like a chimpanzee on caffine since Brayflox exists and most tanks can't dodge Dragon's Breath on reaction.

[The Stig]

No way your (DF) tanks spin that boss full time just to avoid that breath? lol

I got hit by it once but my ballsack was itchy at the time. Priorities!

RIP 1.0's superior OST

I uploaded the 1.0 Before Meteor OST to Google Play. I'll turn off the in-game music and choose the 1.0 music I want to hear (on a loop) sometimes. Usually when I am crafting or gathering or in a zone that needs better music.

Greetings,

As was mentioned during the Letter from the Producer LIVE Part IX, we'll be introducing a feature for the Duty Finder in patch 2.1 that will place you in a random dungeon in order to get people participating in a wider variety of dungeons.

Specifically, we will be breaking down dungeon content into different categories such as leveling dungeons, level 50+ dungeons, and primal battles, and players will be matched for random content. You'll be able to challenge each category once every real-world day and as a reward you will receive each kind of Allagan tomestones. Participants will be matched with priority on content that is lacking members.

Also, in order to strike a proper balance between this plan and the experience points gained by participating in FATE, we will be increasing the amount of experience points gained in dungeons in patch 2.1.

Fuck yes. Cannot come soon enough.

Libra eorzea for android is out

Thank god, I hate FATEs.

[Carth]

Thank god, I hate FATEs.

Have to admit, this couldn't come any sooner.

[Lucavi]

Now I can freely level Drg, Mnk and Pld.

(PS Coerthas 1.0 music was better )

QFT

Spoiler: show

[matic]

i wish i could still play 1.0 somehow, because i inexplicably miss it and that just made it worse!

[Jaybar]

Idk you guys must have some rosy colored glasses on because 2.0 is much better to me. Much darker.

[Rocl]

if you didn't like 1.0 coerthas theme then you're wrong awful

[Jaybar]

Went back and listened to 2.0 just to verify my thoughts. It is still superior.

Spoiler: show

I do like the piano and violin in 1.0 but melody just doesn't fit the mood of the zone.

It was grim enough to send shivers through your spine. The dead bodies popping outside Garuda's aetheryte helped too.

art, music, subjective, ridiculous debate, etc

they're both really good tbh. i think the 1.0 version fits the general emptiness of the zone, and 1.0 coerthas was surely that. i miss the strings in general from 1.0. I kind of miss the emptiness too, but that's probably just because almost every zone on excalibur 2.0 is packed shoulder to shoulder.

[Seravi Edalborez]

Coerthas in 1.0 was an entirely different zone mood-wise, and I think the themes to each fit. I just don't like 2.0 Coerthas as much as 1.0 Coerthas in general.

[Intense]

Real quick question as I'm not sure where else to ask (plus I already have this thread loaded), but have they announced when 2.1 will be released?

On topic: I've noticed people are starting to talk to each other more in server (observed this while in a few FATE parties), I'm happy that the initial 'depend on duty finder for all our needs' is toning down.
