FFXIV Random Praise Thread: Time to melee RDM

[Rocl]

It's easy not to smile when you don't watch them. I just skipped them all.

My point stands.

[OWS_Tonx]

I just died a little reading that

Hildibrand quests are so gotdayum funny

[Alkar]

That Ninja tease lol.

[Deadgye]

Sailor uniforms are in the game. Where the fuck do I get Mariner Cotton Cloth?>

Boarskin map says xivdb comments.

[Qeomash]

Ha! That was my comment no less. I feel sad...put it up for 40k, expecting it to be ridiculous like that. Next one on the AH sold for 50k...then 150k.

Voice acting definitely got better in the main story quests. It didn't even really bother me before but it's always nice to see/hear improvement regardless.

[Rocl]

Fucking Gilagemsh (Hard) and (Extreme) better happen because that fight was hysterical and fun.

[BlaizeAsura]

I only got as far as "I tamed a chicken and painted it green" before I lost it during Hilde quests, I assume it gets better from there?

I don't know if you'll personally enjoy anything else more than that but that's when I knew I was in love for life

[Seravi Edalborez]

I swear more budget is put into Hildi than MSQ. And it's well-spent.

Moogle Extreme is fucking hard. We got so close to winning, or at least what we think would be winning-- but everyone's too tired to continue.

What did they add?

Spoiler: show

You start out with the king. After a certain amount of time (~30s?) he summons all the moogles and becomes invincible. When you kill a moogle, he revives the moogles and heals all the moogles to full hp. He uses his own HP to do so. You can do this two times. After the second time he casts a meteor attack that does a decent amount of damage. Everyone will need to be topped off. When you kill a moogle for the third time he starts slowly casting super wumbo attack that seems like it does 10k damage for each moogle alive. (We took 29-30k damage each with 3 moogles alive.)

The moogles also now have combination attacks that wreck your shit. The two tankable moogles do an attack that makes the other tankable moogle do more damage with their attack. So if you tried to have a MT on king and OT on the two tankables the OT will be taking 6-8k hits every dozens of seconds. So you have to have the MT have king and a tankable moogle, and OT has the other tankable moogle. BUT! the king will do an aoe buff around him that stacks. It increases all damage done. So if you let the moogles get to 4+ stacks their super attacks are basically going to wipe you.

So you have to constantly move the king around away from the moogles. Which is not easy considering the rather large range of the buff aoe and how the moogles MOVE WHEREEVER THE FUCK THEY WANT JUST TO ANNOY YOU. But then since the tanks need to each have one of the tankable moogles you need to swap hate on the king. Pom flare and pom cure and etc are generally interrupted by just doing damage to the moogle.

Oh also the king has a cleave that he likes to use that steals like 90% of your mana.

Oh and also at some point the tankable moogles will reverse provoke your healers putting them at max hate and you'll have to get hate back again.

It's a lot of fun and takes a shitload of coordination. I literally switched to tanking accessories on my brd so that I didn't die as easily, and our sch switched to his melded healing accessories that had vit in them. On our attempt that we got closest to winning, assuming we judged how to finish it off correctly-- we would have won if somebody didn't kill one of the moogles early before we could get the last 3 down to a lower percent first.

In no particular order for yesterday:

Had the most people from my friend list online at once yesterday, had the old crew all active at once after having drifted during 2.1, went 6/12 on Atma in just around 4 hours, and realized that WTFast is no longer required for me to be able to have a playable ping.

Thanks for the rundown, glad they upped the difficulty significantly shit sounds fun.

The improvement was noticeable. Really glad they've worked on it. The cutscenes this time around were actually pretty cool.

[Deadgye]

Me and my friends were all very pleased by the return of boner goblins via brayflox hard mode. It's just not a final fantasy mmo without boner goblins.

[Taint]

I really enjoyed all 3 new Dungeons. Diablos was a bit of let down once we figured it out but overall a good time running through them.

[Spagnutty]

Fucking hang-glider goblins yo.
