Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers

[Anoat]

one time I had Alphinaud and Alisae together and Alphinaud got oneshot by a boss mechanic and Alisae raised him and then roasted him for it, I had a good laugh.

The entitlement thing wasn’t aimed at you if that wasn’t obvious.

Ah yeah, I figured it was at people actually complaining about no rewards from them lol.

[Gokulo]

I never really expected any reward from trusts and just wanted to level them because I like leveling things. >.> It does seem a bit weird if there is no reward at all for leveling them though, but I think they are more just there to help people level stuff without needing to wait in long queues.

There's an achievement and glamour for them, however that might not feel like that much of a reward for most

[Anoat]

I just started leveling GNB last night and I gotta say even with the level 60 toolkit it seems a lot of fun.

[arus2001]

The entitlement thing wasn’t aimed at you if that wasn’t obvious. I just think there should be zero additional incentive to circumvent grouping up for things like dungeons

The more thought I give their execution the more sense it makes. It’s perfectly reasonable to require us to level them up, but wouldn’t have served its intended purpose had we needed to while doing the MSQ

On the other hand, I look to it as a solution to abysmal DPS queue times when tanks or healers can otherwise be instant, if not sub-5m. Current values are also likely to wane as more people finish things and any dungeoning is more about getting weekly tomes out of the way then telling them to fuck off. So, while I get the whole, "YoU sHoUlD hAvE tO pLaY wItH oThErS iN aN mMo!" schtick, I'd also call it patently unwise to kick the soloists or harmlessly anti-social to the curb, while further championing they're barely worthy of scraps. In the end, they could convert to the more expected traditional sort of player, but for whatever reason may not be into it for the moment. And if Yoshi getting money from SE is as much of a problem as has been inferred, chasing off yet more customers won't really help the cause.

Otherwise, yeah, early adopters/rushers should pretty much know that a lot of shit will get patched/eased over time. What looked like over a hundred dungeons just to get one group to 80 should've come off as overkill to anyone attempting to look at it sensibly.

[Anoat]

People who rushed in Eureka complained too when each zoned subsequently got nerfed, people are just gonna bitch.

[Athas]

Just wished I hadn't missed BA before Eureka stopped existing. Risks of not rushing.

Only thing about BA you missed was 2hrs of groups trying to get into same instance and 1 troll taking someone's portal.

that was annoying to be sure, but you're reducing one of the most enjoyable pieces of content this game's ever had to a medium-level inconvenience that effected a couple people at most on any given run

[Azat]

Possibly somewhat, at it's worst tho 2hrs of nonstop zoning was more than a medium annoyance.

Much like how PvP gets scheduled on weekends, I can see BA continuing that way once people are done lvling jobs. God knows, based on df, there is enough new people for it.

I guess Honest Game Trailers is back after they died and they did a thing:

People will be doing BA again once everyone has finished ShB content. There's still like 4000 people in the Aether BA Discord and they have been doing runs (not many though) the past few weeks. (I realize this could be different if you're on a different DC)

All that is required to do BA are the people who join and coordinate BA runs, and Eureka being empty is actually better for BA runs than it being active.

[Gokulo]

They're also supposed to tweak Eureka to make it easier with less people doing it, so there's that

[Buffy]

Anyone got a rotation yet to finish 35 durability items 2 star items as HQ?

[Buffy]

Might not need it...can anyone get closer than this yet?



That's full NQ ingredients, no medicine and Matcha HQ for food.

[Fiye]

Should swap some craftsmanship melds for control?

Should swap some craftsmanship melds for control?

Yah could, but I love being over craftmanship(ed), makes the next tier so much easier when it comes out. I have a 100% macro if I just swap in blood bouillabaisse instead of matcha, but I have like 300+ matcha already and don't wanna fish up fish for the new food, so mostly just being cheap/lazy.

[Prothescar]

materials dont really have to be HQ anyway. long as you can 100% the crafts themselves it's fine.

This gets me 100% with all NQ materials: 2246craft, 2062con, 531cp, no syrup, HQ Blood Bouillibase. Could get way with Matcha if you use syrup probably. Macro split is just cause I don't want to get jewed out of an HQ by a poor proc.

[Buffy]

Yep, that + matcha, no syrup and a minor remeld to lose 6 craftmanship and gain 4 control did it.
