Patch 6.1: Newfound Adventure (April 12th, 2022)

[Anoat]

The FFXI crossover event returns April 28th featuring Iroha. It is the same event they have run previously in case you missed it.

[Koyangi]

That's Zealot's birthday, he took the day off and will play all day baybay.

[Kaslo]

Hit Platinum! It's the second best frame of the placement frames imo. Now to push for diamond and crystal for the overall best frame

[Eurell]

I'm an idiot. How do I make my profile plate thing show up in pvp? Ive set it for my adventurer plate but it still just shows the default when I start a fight

"Instant Portrait"

And if you change to a different job for PvP you will need to reset it.

[Madeline]

Set it as instant plate in the adventurer plate contextual menu.

[Corrderio]

PVP is a clusterfuck of pure chaos. I love it even though I have no clue what I am doing.

[Shenrien]

Read your tooltips like you read your pve tooltips, some jobs enhance abilities and weaponskills with limit break active.

[Kaslo]

Also, figure out each job's role.

For instance, DRG largely is to cause chaos getting in and out and doing good damage.

MCH on the other hand really has a sniper feel. Playing from distance and looking for chances to pick off people.

WAR is almost all about crowd control, BLM too.

PLD is a living wall on the point, usually the last person you want to kill because it takes a lot to kill.

[Eurell]

Finally. Ty lol

PVP is a clusterfuck of pure chaos. I love it even though I have no clue what I am doing.

I feel it's a really good time to get into PVP right now, the abilities were once again revamped and refined. Now all classes have like 8 buttons and some common buttons. Before, it was less refined with a few more than 8 buttons (a few which were combos).

In its initial stage, it was just PVP with PVE abilities and each class had special abilities.
Then it's dedicated abilities with a string of selectable unique abilities
Now I feel it's very refined and each class has a personality, as Kaslo points out above

[Corrderio]

I've been doing RDM and getting carried. Besides the general chaos trying to fight against my muscle memory is also an uphill battle. I had all my spells on my first hotbar and melee attacks/OCDs on the second but because of how simplified it is with PVP actions I got all my offensive attacks on my first hotbar so going from Shift 1 + Shift 2 + Shift 3 to 3 + 3 + 3 is a hard habit to break.

[Kaslo]

Made it to Diamond! and more than a month to get to Crystal for the OP frame!

[AoE]

I'm stuck in gold hell atm.

[Kaslo]

I had tried switching to something more meta like RDM/WHM and it just was not feeling right, went back to MCH and just started slaying. I think it's all about finding the job that fits your playstyle.

[Anoat]

Welp Xeno has already cleared phase 1 of the new ultimate, looks pretty damn cool

[Corrderio]

How much of a step up in difficulty are ultimates compared to extreme?

[Anoat]

Well after clearing phase 1 they immediately wiped and it seems clearing phase 1 is now a checkpoint, which I believe is a first for ultimates.

[Dotsudoku]

How much of a step up in difficulty are ultimates compared to extreme?

ultimates are intended to challenge people who have cleared the current savage tier, so quite a large jump

[Madeline]

It depends on which one. UWU is pretty much a bunch of extreme trials in a row. The rest are a bit of a step upward. UWU>UCOB>TEA easiest to most difficult imo. UCOB/TEA are probably swapped for some. But UWU has been done in under 12 minutes in patch 6.0.
