Alexander Discussion, Round 2: Wait is this the easy mode thread?

The day the casuals overrun BG as a whole is the day BG dies.

BG's been on a downward slope since mid-2012 or so, when XI's playerbase began to slowly dwindle. I miss the days of Advanced where it was constantly active and you had both really good information/theorycrafting, and really good drama.

I'm questioning the accuracy cap on A1S, I have 593 acc on mnk and I attacked accidentally oppressor on front and missed.
Reddit says accuracy cap on front is 580 maybe they take in account the accuracy bonus on tank stance?

[Rocl]

this whole fight is fucking retarded

[sobbing intensifies]

[Kaslo]

545 acc in A3S and haven't missed if that means anything

Thanks! This helps as I try to figure out gear up until that point, which means I will likely buy Body + Earring next week to put me at 546 ACC

[Arthars]

how are you not missing with 545 on turn 3

i missed with 632

did you not at all attack the boss from front even during shared damage? did you justs imple look away so as not to gimp ur acc?

thats just not possible

edit: nvm you meant caster, i have no idea how much they need, forgive me

[solracht]

for casters

JP PUGs > Me

How is that that you can PUG 4 DPS on Chocobo and have all 4 be good enough to meet the A3S dps check.... but when I try the same thing on Sargatanas for A1S I get an average dps of 750 with many dropping to 600... and only 1 in 10 able to maintain 800 over the course of the fight before we wipe at 15% enrage. Let's not even talk about 900+; that requires a kind of focus unfathomable for the majority of players on my server.

Had I realised sooner that dps was going to be the hardest job in the game this patch I would have played MNK.

[Akiyama]

NA servers are < JP servers. Duh.

Because many of the good, dedicated peeps on our server are already in stable groups.

Actually my group had some luck with PF last night. Got a pretty damn good SCH, and a meh but serviceable DRG.

Because JP players are less selfish then NA. What I mean is JP players know that if you fuck up you waste 7 people's time, so they try not to be bad and they are doing good, usually JP pugs seems to take critic better, while NA is just

'Relax it's just a game, it's my 12,99 I have a life you bitch' all that stuff

[Taint]

Pride is the answer.

[Ratatapa]

You mean JP have more pride then NA?

[Destinye]

Well, in contrast, JP doesn't pride themselves on being shit by brushing it off as "It's my $x a month, don't tell me how to play my game". I agree though, there's a problem on sarga...really a lot of the aether dc worlds..but sarga seems to get the special DPS.

It's the whole NA community, shit wsa the same on Hyperion (Primal), NA people doesn't like beeing told they suck on the internet, and doesn't believe in the 'Dude this isisn't a single player game, if you suck you waste 7 other's time) When I tell them that they just answer, "Well just quit if you're not happy"

[Taim Meich]

It also happens on Ragnarok (and the whole Chaos-European cluster). It has to be a western mentality flaw, strenghtened by the fact that Duty finder makes you pretty much anonymous, so those who can't give a damn, thet won't have to face the consequences of a bad reputation, either. For all the things that were wrong or just plain antiquated in FFXI, that's one thing that forced at least some people to get better: playing only with the people on your server, and only through direct invite made your reputation much more important.

"Get better... or level bard!"

You're semi wrong, Pugs in this game is simple (and I think i'm a good exemple)

If you tell people they are bad, you are automaticly a dick or an elitist

So for pugs in XIV they will always prefer a gimp but gentle player, then a strong player with a dickish attitude

and XI was the opposite iirc, it didn't mather how dickish you were, till you pulled your weight, people took you
