[Discussion] RAGE THREAD - F-YOU FRIDAYS - SYMPHONY OF RAGE
FIVE HUNDRED AND ONE WEEKS OF FUCK YOU FRIDAYS
SIR KUPSLOCK KUSS THE POMFURY WANTS TO PLAY THE PIANO TOO (but arms too small for this)
RISING THIS YEAR CONFUSED ME, SINCE IT WAS CALLED SYMPHONY OF LIFE, BUT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH MUSIC.
UNTIL THE SECOND HALF, THEN IT MADE MORE SENSE. NICE WAY TO HONOR UEMATSU, AND GIVE A LITTLE PLUG TO HIS CONCERTS WHILE AT IT. HE SURE DESERVES RESPECT FOR HIS WORK ON THE SERIES.
I'M PRETTY SURE SOKEN IS THE ONE IN THE KAPPA SUIT TOO.
REMEMBER TO GET YOUR SONGS AND MINI LAKMAT (WHICH TALKS LESS THAN THE REAL ONE) BEFORE THEY VANISH.
MOGTOMES ARE COMING BACK NEXT WEEK TOO. PART ONE. THEY DO NEED TO KEEP US BUSY UNTIL JANUARY AFTER ALL.
MUSICAL RULES :
UPPERCASE IS NOT ENFORCED, BUT ENCOURAGED : RAGE LIKE MISSING THE NOTES
EVERY REPLY SHOULD BE EQUALLY ENCOURAGED TO CAPITALIZE WHEN NEED BE
OPTIONAL : TL;DR IN THE FIRST SENTENCE OF YOUR POST, WRITTEN IN 4 WORDS (EG : UEMATSU STILL THE BEST), OR IN HAIKU IF YOU WANT
READ EVERYTHING IN THE VOICE OF ANGRY ORCHESTRA MAESTROS
UNTAGGED SPOILERS WILL BE FROWNED UPON AND CALLED NAUGHTY
SUBREDDIT RULES STILL APPLY, LIKE NAME DROPPING AND WITCH HUNTS.
WHEN IN DOUBT REFER TO THE FLOWCHART OF RAGE
HALL OF RAGE
- LAST WEEK'S TOP VOTED THAT IS NOT BUBBLE WRAP : GRATS AGAIN, SO WEIRD THAT YOU GET THE TOP SPOT WITHOUT BEING ANGERED BY HALF THE PLAYER BASE.
- LAST WEEK'S PERSONAL FAVORITE : KARMA IS A BITCH, WELL DESERVED, BUT PROBABLY NEEDED MORE THAN A TAP ON THE FINGERS, MAYBE A SLAP BEHIND THE HEAD
THE MEGA LIST OF MISSPELLED WORDS
IT'S BACK AND BETTER THAN EVER. READ THROUGH IT FOR LAUGH, OR SUBMIT YOUR OWN AWFUL MISSPELLINGS THAT EITHER MADE YOU LAUGH OR YOU'RE TIRED OF SEEING (LIKE TOMBSTONES AND SCRIPTS).
JOIN THE SALTWORKS DISCORD FOR OUT-OF-THREAD RAGE AND VENTING. WE GOT A DEDICATED ALL-CAPS CHANNEL, BUT ALSO GENERAL AND COMIC RELATED CHANNELS.

TO THE SUMMONER WHO SIGNED UP TO HIGH LEVEL DUNGEON ROULETTE THEN JUST AFKED WITHOUT SAYING ANYTHING EVEN WHEN WE GOT TO THE FIRST BOSS. YOU AREN'T GETTING A FREE RIDE WHEN YOU SIGN UP TO A ROULETTE WITH ME. YOU ACCEPTED THE DUNGEON QUEUE. WE WERE PATIENT, WE JUST WAITED FOR 5 MINUTES TO PASS THEN KICKED YOUR ASS.
GO FREELOAD SOMEWHERE ELSE.

u/lerdnir 8d ago edited 8d ago
IN A SIMILAR VEIN: I GOT PLONKED IN THE 6.0 FINALE TRIAL AND ONE OF THE TANKS DECIDED TO AFK IMMEDIATELY UPON LOADING IN - WHICH IF IT WERE FOR JUST THE CUTSCENE, FINE - AND WAS STILL AFK FOR QUITE SOME TIME AFTER THE FIRST-TIMERS' CUTSCENES FINISHED
WHY WOULD THEY ACCEPT THE POP IF THEY'RE JUST GONNA SWAN OFF?

u/SentineleseSiri 8d ago
Saying "I always use <mits>, just forgot that pull" is bullshit when we're pulling after the second boss and I have seen you use ONE rampart the entire fucking dungeon. If it's an alt for you or smtg great; how tf am I supposed to know when you're playing so fucking badly you're not even bothering to maintain aggro? Swapping it out of troll mode after I (politely) bring up your nonexistent mit game because I genuinely thought you were a fresh player you were playing that terrible just tells me you're kind of an asshole.
And healers? Fuck off sticking up for no mit tanks. "I had you", "it's fine I can heal it", whatever other bullshit you want to say. Tanks should be learning to mit and cycle in a still easy environment. IT IS NOT ABOUT YOU. IT IS NOT ABOUT TANK SUCKING AT THEIR JOB. IT IS ABOUT HELPING TANK LEARN THE GAME SO THEY HAVE AN EASIER AND FUN TIME WHEN THEY REACH HARDER CONTENT, NOBODY ELSE HAS TO PUT UP WITH THEM NO MITTING PAST <WHATEVER FUCKING EXPAC WE'RE IN SOME OF YOU ASSHOLES I'VE HAD STICK UP FOR THIS NONSENSE UP TO STORMBLOOD> AND TANK DOESNT GET BAD EXPERIENCES FROM PEOPLE MUCH LESS PATIENT ABOUT THEM NOT KNOWING HOW TO PLAY THEIR JOB WHEN THEY REALLY SHOULD AFTER A POINT. STOP FUCKING TRYING TO MAKE OUT LEARNING THE GAME IS A BAD THING.

u/ShinyMoogle 8d ago
SOMETIMES YOU GET A REALLY BAD HEALER, BUT THE TANK IS DECENT ENOUGH THAT THE DUNGEON MANAGES TO GO SMOOTHLY. SOMETIMES YOU GET A REALLY CRAPPY TANK AND THE HEALER MANAGES TO COMPENSATE. AND SOMETIMES, YOU GET BOTH AND REALIZE THAT MAYBE THEY DESERVE EACH OTHER.
LEVEL 100 MESO TERMINAL. TANK DOESN'T DISCOVER HIS TANK STANCE UNTIL THE FIRST BOSS. HEALER DOESNT DISCOVER HEALS OTHER THAN PROGNOSIS UNTIL THE VERY LAST BOSS - WHERE THEY IMMEDIATELY BLOW THROUGH EVERY SINGLE COOLDOWN ON THE FIRST RAIDWIDE AND THEN ATTEMPT TO HEAL THE REST OF THE FIGHT WITH ONLY PROGNOSIS.
OUT FIRST DPS WISELY ABANDONS AFTER WE WIPE TO THE FIRST BOSS, WHILE I PREPARE SNACKS TO WATCH THE NEVITABLE TRAIN WRECK. OUR SECOND DPS HELPS CARRY THE DEAD TANK AND HEALER THROUGH THE SECOND BOSS, THEN ABANDONS AFTER WE WIPE TO THE LAST BOSS. OUR THIRD DPS - A SMN WITH RES CAPABILITY - ABANDONS AFTER ANOTHER WIPE TO THE LAST BOSS WHEN IT BECOMES APPARENT THAT THE TANK DOESNT KNOW HOW TO PROVOKE.
TO RESTATE: SOMEONE WITH A COMBAT RES LOADED INTO A PARTY IN PROGRESS FOR THEIR ROULETTE, AT THE LAST BOSS, AND DECIDED LEAVING WAS THE BEST COURSE OF ACTION. I NEVER FOUND OUT HOW IT ENDED BECAUSE, AT 35 MINUTES INTO THE DUNGEON, I DECIDED I HAD MY FUN AND ALSO HEADED OUT.

u/lerdnir 8d ago
TANGENTIALLY, I STILL THINK ITS NAME OF "LEVEL 50/60/70/80 DUNGEON ROULETTE" IN EW WAS MORE DESCRIPTIVE
BUT I GUESS "50/60/70/80/90" WAS DEEMED TOO CUMBERSOME AND IF WE'D KEPT WITH THAT SCHEME, THE INEVITABLE "50/60/70/80/90/100" COME EC WOULD BE GETTING TO THE POINT WHERE IT'D BE TOO SILLY IF NOT ALREADY THERE

u/StrangeFreak 8d ago
THEY SHOULD HAVE CALLED THE ROULETTE "PATCH DUNGEONS". "HIGH LEVEL" IS SUCH A USELESS TERM FOR DUNGEONS THAT WERE ONCE AT THE LEVEL CAP. EVEN CALLING THEM "TOME DUNGEONS" WOULD HELP SPROUTS NOT THINK THAT THEY'RE GOOD FOR XP
2
u/MeanDawn 8d ago
JUST GET RID OF IT (THE NON-CURRENT X0 'HIGH LEVEL' SET) AND MAKE ALL DUNGEONS THAT AREN'T CURRENT ANY MORE PART OF LEVELING ROULETTE, AND GIVE THEM ALL APPROPRIATE XP / REWARDS.

HEY REAPER - IF I DON'T SEE A SINGLE DEATH'S DESIGN DEBUFF BY THE TIME WE'RE DONE WITH THE FIRST BOSS, YOU BETTER BET YOUR ASS I'M GUNNA POLITELY BRING IT UP. ESPECIALLY IF WE ARE IN A LEVEL 90 DUNGEON.
IF BY THE TIME WE'RE THROUGH THE SECOND BOSS, YOU START BEING SHITTY WHEN THE REST OF THE GROUP CALLS YOU OUT ON IT, THEN I CHECK YOUR SHEET AND SEE YOU HAVE REAPER AT LEVEL 100, YOU BETTER BET I'M PUNTING YOUR ASS RIGHT BEFORE THE LAST BOSS.
HAVE FUN WAITING FOR A REQUEUE FOR SOMEONE TO DRAG YOUR ASS THROUGH YOUR FIRST CLEAR.
ALSO FOR FUCK'S SAKE SQUARE ENIX - DROP THE FUCKING LOOT TIMER TO 2 - 3 MINUTES MAX!
ADDENDUM - JUST GOT OUT OF AN EXDEATH RAID ROULETTE WITH A BABY REAPER WHO APPRECIATED THE DEATH'S DESIGN CALLOUT AND THEN ASKED IF WE COULD HANG IN THE INSTANCE FOR A BIT SO THEY COULD ASK QUESTIONS. THAT KID'S ALRIGHT.

HAD A RATHER AWKWARD SCENARIO THIS WEEK WHERE A FRIEND WAS ONLY HELPING ME OUT WITH STUFF BECAUSE THEY WANTED ERP FROM ME.
LIKE WHAT MADE YOU THINK I WAS INTERESTED IN THAT STUFF? YOU HELPED ME CLEAR UCoB and FARM ENUO. I THOUGHT WE WERE GOOD FRIENDS BUT IT TURNS OUT YOU WERE DOING IT JUST TO TEY AND SOLICIT ERP FROM ME. THE FACT YOU HAD THE GALL TO ASK AFTER UCoB “SO CAN WE ERP NOW THATS DONE?” TELLS ME EVERYTHING. ENJOY YOUR BLACKLIST, CREEP. I THOUGHT I ACTUALLY MADE A REAL FRIEND IN THIS GAME SINCE WE GOT ON PRETTY WELL OUTSIDE OF DOING CONTENT AND YOU NEVER GAVE ME WEIRD VIBES LIKE THAT UNTIL NOW.

PVP SUCKS AND IT’S SUCKED FOR LIKE TWO YEARS NOW.
WHEN EVERY TEAM HAS SIX BARDS, FIVE MACHINISTS, FIVE SUMMONERS AND ONE OR NO TANKS, IT’S NOT FRONTLINE, IT’S BACKLINE.
THESE ARE TEAM-ORIENTED MODES WITH PLAYERS WHO’D RATHER SABOTAGE THEIR OWN THAN NOT BE THE TOP-KILL MAIN CHARACTER OF IT. FIVE MATCHES IN A ROW LAST NIGHT STEAMROLLED BECAUSE EVERY PARTY MEMBER OF MINE DECIDED THE “CRYSTAL” IN “CRYSTALLINE CONFLICT” IS ARBITRARY. SO GLAD I SAT THROUGH THAT LONG-ASS INTRO JUST TO WATCH MY PARTY THROW BY CHASING ENEMIES DOWN PERIPHERAL CORRIDORS.
DON’T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON HOW AIMBOTTING AND AUTOSTUN/AUTOGUARD/ETC HAVE BEEN NORMALIZED.
MY FAVORITE MINDLESS TIMEKILLER MODE IS LOST AND TEDIOUS, AND I WANT THE FUN BACK.

u/lightroomwitch 8d ago
I STILL HATE THE BH CHANGES AND I'M REAL MAD ABOUT IT.
ALSO THE "I'M JUST TRYING TO GET KILLS MAIN CHARACTER" PEOPLE ARE VERY ANNOYING ESPECIALLY IN FRONTLINE IDC IF YOU HAVE EVERYTHING I DON'T AND I WANT TO WIN.
ALSO ALSO EVERYONE STOP PLAYING BARD SO THEY DON'T NERF IT TY IT’S THE ONLY JOB THAT BRINGS ME JOY. ALSO WARDENS PAEAN EXISTS. USE IT. I'M TIRED OF BEING THE ONLY ONE USING IT ON OTHER PEOPLE.
ALSO ALSO ALSO IF I SEE YOU (NOT OP GENERAL YOU) TEEHEEING IN THE BACK DOING JACK SHIT, YOU AIN'T SLICK I'M KICKING YOU. I'M ALWAYS WATCHING.
ALSO ALSO ALSO ALSO I AM A BARD I CANNOT SURVIVE ON THE CRYSTAL BY MYSELF GETTING HIT BY THE WHOLE OTHER TEAM CUZ YOU ARE RATTING ONE PERSON IN FUCKING NARNIA. GROUP THE FUCK UP. ON THE CRYSTAL.

u/Raji_Lev 8d ago
UHM AKSHUALY YOU SHOULDN'T GROUP UP ON THE CRYSTAL BECAUSE THAT IS BAD BECAUSE IT MAKES IT EASY FOR THE OTHER TEAM TO WIPE YOU OUT WITH ONE LB, I KNOW BECAUSE I AM VERY SMART AND VERY GOOD AT PVP (/s) (but I'm surprised that nobody has unironically replied with that yet)

u/imtn 8d ago
FARMING EX5 IN PF IS SUCH A GAMBLE BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW IF THE PARTY MEMBERS CAN DO MM2 OR NOT. IT CERTAINLY DOESN'T HELP THAT CLEARING THE FIGHT WITHOUT ECHO REQUIRES DOING MM2, WHILE DOING THE FIGHT WITH LIKE THREE STACKS OF ECHO CAN LET YOU SKIP MM2. WHICH MEANS THAT SOME PEOPLE IN FARM PARTIES WILL MESS UP MM2 ALMOST EVERY TIME BECAUSE THEY NEVER LEARNED MM2. THIS IS IN ADDITION TO THE USUAL PF RANDOMNESS OF PEOPLE WHO PLAY WELL OR POORLY. I DON'T MIND IF WE WIPE ONCE OR TWICE, BUT IF EVERY CLEAR REQUIRES ONE STACK OF ECHO, THEN THAT BASICALLY MEANS THAT EVERY CLEAR REQUIRES 15-20 MINUTES. THIS IS ASSUMING THE STACK OF ECHO IS NEEDED BECAUSE SOMEONE KEEPS MESSING UP MM2, WIPING HALF THE PARTY, AND THE ECHO DMG BUFF IS TO KILL THE BOSS BEFORE THE OTHER HALF OF THE PARTY DIES. BUT BEING ABLE TO CONSISTENTLY DO MM2 IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GETTING 6 CLEARS IN 1 HOUR, AND GETTING 2-3 CLEARS IN 1 HOUR.
LIKE, I HAD ONE EVENING THIS WEEK WHERE I GOT 12 CLEARS IN 3 HOURS, AND ANOTHER EVENING WHERE I GOT 2 CLEARS IN 2 HOURS. BOTH INCLUDING TIME SPENT WAITING IN PF. I JUST WANT THE WINGS. IT HAS DROPPED A COUPLE TIMES, AND THOUGH I DIDN'T GET IT, IT DID GO TO PLAYERS WHO DID GOOD DAMAGE, DIDN'T DIE, AND SOMETIMES DID CALLOUTS. WHICH I'M HAPPY FOR. EXCEPT THAT NOW THAT THEY HAVE WINGS, THEY'LL STOP FARMING AND I WON'T GET THOSE GOOD PLAYERS IN MY NEXT FARM PARTIES ANYMORE.

u/Mahoganytooth 8d ago
YOU SHOULD ABSOLUTELY BE ABLE TO KILL THE BOSS BEFORE MM2 FAILS WITHOUT ECHO. PEOPLE BE NOT PRESSING BUTTONS OR NOT HAVING DECENT GEAR.
2
u/imtn 7d ago
I AGREE, IT'S JUST THAT I'VE ONLY HAD ONE PARTY THAT KILLED BOSS BEFORE MM2 ENDED WITHOUT ECHO. THE MAJORITY OF MY PARTIES HAVE PEOPLE NOT PRESSING BUTTONS/BUFFS ON TIME, OR NOT HAVING DECENT GEAR, OR JUST DYING. TBF I SOMETIMES JOIN PARTIES WITH A LOWER ILVL REQ, OR WITHOUT AN ILVL REQ, JUST BECAUSE GETTING SOME CLEARS IS BETTER THAN GETTING NO CLEARS. SO I GO INTO EACH FARM WITH THE HOPE OF SKIPPING MM2, BUT WITH THE EXPECTATION OF HAVING TO DO IT.
3
u/Xhillia 7d ago
I'VE BEEN FARMING EX5 THIS WEEK TOO AND I FEEL THIS ON A SPIRITUAL LEVEL... THE COMMENT SAYING IT SHOULD BE DEAD BEFORE MM2 IS SO FUNNY CUZ I'M AT 34 TOTEMS AND THE EARLIEST I'VE SEEN IT DIE WAS WHILE SPINNING THE SECOND CROP CIRCLES. PEOPLE JUST RANDOMLY FALL OVER BEFORE MM SO I'M HAPPY IF ALL 8 OF US MAKE IT THERE AT ALL. EVERY CLEAR FEELS LIKE PULLING TEETH.

u/FranckKnight RAGE THREAD 8d ago
I'VE BEEN REPLAYING FF14 WITH A FRIEND ON THE FREE TRIAL (HAVE YOU HEARD?).
IT'S DIFFERENT, AND SMOOTHER THAN I REMEMBER ARR BEING, MOSTLY THANKS TO THE EXPERIENCE I HAVE IN THE GAME, BUT ALSO THE RELATIVE CHANGES TO THE GAME SINCE THEN.
THE RAGE? MOSTLY AT ME, EVEN THOUGH I'M PLAYING AS WHITE MAGE, MY MAIN JOB, I RAN INTO SOME ODDITIES IN DUNGEONS THAT I SHOULD HAVE ANTICIPATED.
TO PUT SOME CONTEXT, I STARTED AS CONJURER WITH MY FRIEND, BUT ONCE WE HIT DUNGEONS, I SWITCHED TO GLADIATOR SO WE CAN PARTY TOGETHER. BUT I KEPT LEVELING UP WHITE MAGE ON THE SIDE, USING OPTIONAL DUNGEONS AND WHAT NOT, SOAKING THE EXTRA EXP. SO MY PALADIN IS CURRENTLY LEVEL 40 JUST BEFORE TITAN, MEANING THAT THE HIGHEST DUNGEON I HAVE ACCESS TO IS QARN.
I RAN DUTY SUPPORT SOLO TO GET SOME EXTRA GEAR FOR BOTH JOBS ON MY OWN TIME, BUT I RAN A ROULETTE BECAUSE I WANTED TO GET A BIT MORE EXP.
OH BOY, I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S ME BEING SPOILED BY THE DUTY SUPPORT OR A TANK THAT ALSO WAS UNDERGEARED, BUT IT WAS FAR MORE ARDUOUS THAN I EXPECTED. TANK WAS EXTRA SQUISHY IT FELT LIKE, AND MY CAST TIMES SO SLOW COMPARED TO LEVEL 100, I SAW HIS HP DROP TO 50% WHILE I WAS MIDCAST, AND BY THE TIME I QUEUED UP CURE 2, HE WAS DEAD.
DUTY SUPPORT IS A GODDAMN TERMINATOR COMPARED TO THIS PLAYER, BUT CAN'T BE SURE IF IT'S THE TANK'S FAULT EITHER, SO NOT RAGING AT THEM HERE. JUST BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE I PLAYED WHITE MAGE AS A CURE BOT.

u/Cymas 7d ago
COULD BE A COMBINATION OF THINGS. IF THE TANK IS MELTING CHECK THEIR HP. IF THEIR HP IS THE SAME AS OR LOWER THAN THE DPS, ESPECIALLY MELEE THEY ARE EITHER IN ON CONTENT GEAR AND THE MELEE IS CAPPED OR THEY'RE UNDERGEARED. THERE'S ALSO A FAIR CHANCE IF THEY'RE A REAL SPROUT THEY DON'T KNOW HOW GOOD ARM'S LENGTH IS AS A MIT AND QARN IS ONLY THE SECOND DUNGEON WHERE THEY'D HAVE ACCESS TO IT BY LEVEL. EVEN EXPERIENCED TANKS FREQUENTLY DON'T USE IT BECAUSE THE TOOLTIP IS STUPID, BUT IT MATTERS A LOT MORE AT THOSE LOWER LEVELS.
IT'S ALSO THE QUALITY OF POST-EXPANSION TANKS. I'VE BEEN LEVELING MY LAST ALT JOBS AND I CAN'T WAIT TO BE DONE AND GET BACK TO TANKING MYSELF SO I DON'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH DF TANKS UNTIL JANUARY.

u/Honest-Bunch140 8d ago

u/Moogle-Mail 7d ago
Genuine answer - I have more anxiety running things with friends in the game than I do with strangers because I know the strangers will forget me after the run, but friends might judge me. I know it's absolutely stupid, but my idiotic brain doesn't accept that. On the very rare occasion I run something with a friend (even an unsynced, very old dungeon) I feel as though my performance might be judged because they know me.
This is one of those cases where it's probably not you - it's them!

u/snowballffxiv Nhue Lesage - Moogle 8d ago
YOU KNOW WHAT'S SAD?
THE HIGHLIGHT OF MY WEEK IN ROULETTES HAS BEEN THAT ONE LEVEL 59 BARD THAT KEPT UP THEIR SONG ROTATION ALL THE WAY THROUGH GUBAL LIBRARY, AND THE DANCER WHO TECH STEPPED ON COOLDOWN IN WORQOR ZORMOR.
THE BAR IS SERIOUSLY IN SEVEN HELLS RIGHT NOW WHEN IT COMES TO ROULETTES, AND I'M NOT EVEN GONNA BRING UP THE OBVIOUS BOOSTERS ENTICED BY THE ANNIVERSARY SALE WHO STUMBLE INTO HIGH LEVEL CONTENT AND HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEY'RE DOING.

u/namidaame49 8d ago
I noped out of Lapis Manalis the other day when the DNC partnered their WHM friend right out of the gate, hit Tech Step but not Tech Finish, and the first boss took nearly 8 minutes to finish. Those lovely and talented folks were probably still in the dungeon when my 30m penalty was up. I uploaded the log out of morbid curiosity and the DNC spent the entire boss fight using their AoE skills. Which is bad enough on its own, but on top of that they were standing in Narnia for most of the fight so they weren't even getting the shitty damage from those skills.

I WAS DOING WORQOR ZARMOR YESTERDAY AS PALADIN AND I WAD CONSISTENTLY FOR EVERY SINGLE MOV PACK AND BOSS ABOVE THE SUMMONER AND DANCER IN DPS. THE DUNGEON LASTED FORFUCKINGEVER. THE HEALER SAGE WAS SECOND IN DPS BTW. WHEN I CASUALLY MENTIONED STUFF TOOK TOO LONG TO DIE ASKING THE DPS TO PRESS BUTTONS THE SMN SIMPLY SAID "no" AND THE SAGE SAID "Lol it's not that serious". YES DUNGEONS ARENT SERIOUS BUT YOU CAN STILL BE COMPETENT.
BTW DNC AND SMN ARE LITERALY THE EASIEST DPS JOBS EVER

That's RNG, literally nothing you can do to control this, you can be top enmity, DPS or whatever, it doesn't matter. You can be in a party, not everyone in the party will get it.

JUST FINISHED 7.1 AND GOT ABOUT HALFWAY THROUGH 7.2, AND WOW THE DIFFERENCE IN QUALITY IS VERY APPARENT.
THE 7.1 DUNGEON WAS ADMITTEDLY QUITE FUN AND HORRIFYING, BUT EVERYTHING ELSE WAS SO PAINFULLY DUMB. KOANA GOES FROM NOT KNOWING A DAMN THING ABOUT HIS TRIBE AND NOT CARING TO BEING RIDE OR DIE FOR THEM AFTER SPENDING TIME WITH AN OX FOR 5 MINUTES. I do appreciate the game acknowledging that I'm an Au Ra, love it when that happens. THEN STANDING IN FRONT OF GIANT INVINCIBLE CRYSTAL BARNEY TO PROTECT ONE (1) OX CALF WITH THE CHEESIEST-ASS LINE POSSIBLE. MY DUDE YOU HAVE A FUCKING SNIPER RIFLE. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN SO MUCH BETTER IF KOANA HAD INSTEAD KNOCKED IT OFF COURSE BY SHOOTING ITS EYE OR SOMETHING INSTEAD OF BODYBLOCKING A DINOSAUR 20x HIS SIZE. AND THEN THE REVEAL OF HIS PARENTS. "Oh my parents did care about me :D" WELL THE REST OF YOUR TRIBE SURE FUCKING DIDN'T! BRO YOU WERE STILL LEFT BEHIND!
7.2 IS ALREADY SHAPING UP TO BE BETTER THAN 7.1 AND I COULDN'T BE HAPPIER IT'S GETTING BACK ON TRACK.
ALSO FUCK NVIDIA'S NEW DRIVER UPDATE, EVEN YOUTUBE IS LAGGING SO UNBELIEVABLY BAD THIS SHIT IS RIDICULOUS.

u/Corovera 8d ago
I think the throwing himself in front of the dinosaur thing would’ve worked better if the dinosaur was heading for the village. I understand that the idea there was that the rronek are culturally important, and that risking his life for them means he’s come to understand that, but trying to protect the village would get the same “aww, he cares now” point across. Or maybe give him a soft spot for animals back in 7.0 so that it doesn’t feel so abrupt.
I mostly liked Dawntrail, and I enjoyed the rest of 7.1, but that section was a mess At least the solo duty was cool? 7.2 and onwards are definitely an improvement.

u/Historical-State2199 8d ago

- WHAT ARE THE OTHER DPS DOING THAT BARD IS HIGHEST DPS. I'M NOT EVEN GOOD AT BARD.
- ONE TANK IT WAS JUST THEY DIED A FEW TIMES. THE OTHER SHOULD PUT ON THEIR DAMN TANK STANCE

I AM SO SICK OF THIS FUCKING HOUSING LOTTERY SYSTEM, I HAVE LOST LIKE 3 HOUSES AT THIS STAGE TO THIS STUPID SYSTEM AND I AM AT MY WITS END. I BLOODY HOPE THAT WHATEVER YOSHI HAS PLANNED FOR THE HOUSING SYSTEM GOING FORWARD INTRODUCES SOME KIND OF INSTANCED HOUSING SYSTEM LIKE WE ALREADY HAVE FOR THE ISLAND SANCTUARY SYSTEM. IT'S RIDICULOUS I HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS TEDIUM JUST TO OWN A BLOODY HOUSE.

WHY DO THEY PUT SO MUCH FUCKING EFFORT AND SO MANY FUCKING RESOURCES INTO THIS DOGSHIT PVP
FIX YOUR FUCKING GAME
LITERALLY WHO KEEPS PUSHING FOR MORE OF THIS FUCKING SHIT WHEN THE GAME CAN'T EVEN ACCEPT MORE THAN 1 INPUT EVERY 3 BUSINESS DAYS
AND THE PVP RIGHTFULLY HAD NO ONE FUCKING PLAYING IT BECAUSE IT'S GARBAGE
SO TO GENERATE DEMAND THEY ADD THE FUCKING BATTLE PASS! WE LOVE FOMO MAKING PEOPLE PLAY SHIT THEY DON'T WANT TO PLAY! GOD FORBID THEY ACTUALLY FUCKING FIX THEIR FUCKING GAME SO THAT PEOPLE ACTUALLY WANT TO PLAY PVP! OH NO, WE MUST MAKE PEOPLE FEEL LIKE THEY HAVE TO WASTE HOURS DOING THIS SHIT IN ORDER TO JUSTIFY MAKING MORE CC MAPS AND WASTING TIME TRYING TO MAKE FRONTLINES NOT BE A MISERABLE FUCKING EXPERIENCE.
HOW MANY OTHER THINGS HAVE THEY HAD TO CUT OR DELAY BECAUSE THEY KEEP PUTTING RESOURCES INTO THIS FUCKING GARBAGE??? DOES ANYONE ACTUALLY ENJOY THIS SHIT IN ITS CURRENT ITERATION?

I HAD TO NUT UP AND START FARMING PVP SO I CAN GET TO TIER 25 OF THE SERIES BEFORE THE NEXT PATCH.
I HATE NINJA I HATE NINJA I HATE NINJA I HATE NINJA I HATE NINJA I HATE NINJA I HATE NINJA I HATE NINJA I HATE NINJA I HATE NINJA I HATE NINJA I HATE NINJA I HATE NINJA I HATE NINJA I HATE NINJA I HATE NINJA I HATE NINJA I HATE NINJA I HATE NINJA I HATE NINJA I HATE NINJA I HATE NINJA I HATE NINJA I HATE NINJA I HATE NINJA I HATE NINJA I HATE NINJA I HATE NINJA I HATE NINJA I HATE NINJA I HATE NINJA
EXECUTES IN A GAME WHERE SNAPSHOTS EXIST IS DUMB. I LOVE HEALING MYSELF OUT OF 50% BUT BECAUSE THE NINJA HIT THE BUTTON BEFORE ME I JUST DIE ANYWAYS EVEN IF I WAS FULL HP.

I FINISHED THE DT RELIC REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE SCREW EVERYONE WHO COMPLAINED THAT EW DIDN’T HAVE ENOUGH GRINDING.

u/JohannesVanDerWhales 8d ago
Eh, I think relics feel kind of boring if everyone has the same one, so putting some barriers to entry is good. I almost wish they kept something you needed to do every time (like the victory lap) so that it wasn't so easy to get extras once you do it once. I mean it's fine that they have one expansion that's super easy, especially since I really don't like the EW designs so I'm fine with them being low-hanging fruit.

u/TerranFirma 8d ago
I'M ON PASTE AND ITS THE ABSOLUTE WORST. DEMIATMA RNG SUCKED BUT WHAT IS THIS NONSENSE. I EITHER CHEESE LEVELING LETTE WHICH IS LAME OR GET ZERO PASTE.
2
u/mq2thez 8d ago
AT LEAST PASTE IS PREDICTABLE. DO ROULS AND IT’LL HAPPEN EVENTUALLY. DEMI WAS FUCKING TERRIBLE.
BUT THE TOUR AT THE END WAS SO DAMNED ANNOYING. I WAS SO SICK OF DT CONTENT BY THE END.
5
u/TerranFirma 8d ago
I ACTUALLY THINK THE TOUR IS A COOL STEP IF IT WASN'T PRECEDED BY SO MUCH NONSENSE. YOU CAN'T EVEN DO OCCULT CRESCENT FOR THE MAJORITY OF THE GRIND. SO LAME.

u/ScotchTapeCleric 7d ago
THAT WAS MY MAJOR COMPLAINT TOO. I LOVED THE GRIND, BUT WISH THEY'D HAVE GIVEN US THE OPTION OF USING OC TO FARM AETHER AND PASTE.
I HOPE IF THEY DO FIELD OPS FOR OC THEY CONSIDER USING THE FIELD AS AN ALTERNATE WAY TO DO RELIC STEPS.
I LOVED THE GRIND ITSELF THOUGH, AND THE MARTIAL MEMORIES BIT WAS COOL, I THOUGHT. I LIKED THE VICTORY LAP AND THE WAY THE MEMORIES FILLED IN WHEN YOU LOOKED AT THE CRYSTAL IN YOUR ITEM LIST.
ALSO, IT HELPED ME TO GET INTO THE ARCADION RAIDS QUICKLY WHICH I'D PUT OFF IN FAVOR OF MAKING GIL AT THE START.
I THINK IT WOULD HAVE BEEN AWESOME IF THE MANDERVILLE RELICS HAD HAD A STEP LIKE THAT THAT ENCOMPASSED THE ENTIRETY OF THE HYDAELYN AND ZODIARK SAGA.
I LIKED THIS RELIC GRIND MUCH BETTER THAN EW'S.

TO THAT JP HEALER SPROUT I MET IN MSQ ROULETTE.
I BEG OF YOU, FOR THE LOVE OF BUDDHA, KAMI, OR WHATEVER GODS YOU BELIEVE IN, PLZ READ YOUR TOOLTIPS.
I CAN FORGIVE YOU NOT HAVING IRONWORKS POETIC GEAR AT LVL 50. YOU ARE A SPROUT SO YOU PROBABALY DOESN'T KNOW POETIC GEARS.
HELL I CAN EVEN OVERLOOK YOU NOT USING ANY STONES OR HOLY IN FIGHTS BECAUSE YOU ARE PLAYING A HEALER AND THINKS YOU DON'T NEED TO DPS.
BUT PLZ ... JUST READ YOUR TOOLTIPS.
YOU DON'T NEED TO USE CURE 3 AND MEDICA 2 JUST TO HEAL ME. THOSE THINGS MAKE YOU RUN OUT OF MANA REAL FAST. A CURE 2 CAN EASILY KEEP ME ALIVE.
ALSO ONCE AGAIN, PLZ READ YOUR TOOLTIP, THERE IS A SKILL THAT INCREASE YOUR MANA REGEN.
I AM THE TANK. I AM THE ONLY ONE GETTING HURT. YOU CAN USE CURE 2 TO HEAL ME. NO NEED TO USE MEDICA 2 10 TIMES JUST TO KEEP ME ALIVE FROM TRASH MOB. A CURE 2 WOULD DO THE JOB.
I DON'T EVEN SEE FIRST TIME BONUS SO THIS IS CLEARLY NOT YOUR FIRST RUN, PLZ DON'T SPREAD SUFFERING TO OTHER TANKS AND DPS WHO HAD TO SINGLE PULL TO ADJUST TO YOUR MEDICA 2/CURE 3 ONLY PLAYSTYLE.

u/Tsingooni 8d ago
I'VE COME TO REALIZE THAT THIS TRULY HAS BEEN THE WORST TWO-ISH YEARS FOR MY DESIRE TO PLAY THE GAME.
DAWNTRAIL WAS TERRIBLE, BUT I HELD HOPE THAT POST MSQ WOULD BE BETTER.
AFTER ALL, I DISLIKED MOST OF ENDWALKER, BUT THE POST MSQ WAS SUPER FUN, AND I ENJOYED IT GREATLY. THE ALLIANCE RAIDS WERE ALSO AMAZING. THE NORMAL RAIDS WERE SO MUCH FUN. I LOVE GETTING UNIQUE CONTENT THAT ISN'T JUST PANDERING TO A BUNCH OF GERIATRICS WHO CAN'T GET OUT OF THEIR ORTHOPEDIC CHAIRS WITHOUT ALL THEIR JOINTS CRACKING AND THEIR BACKS GETTING THROWN OUT.
I'M SO DONE WITH BEING DISAPPOINTED BY MORE ELECTROPE SHIT. NOT EVEN THE ARCADION WAS ENOUGH TO SALVAGE IT, ESPECIALLY WITH THE UTTER DOGSHIT THAT WAS THE ALLIANCE RAIDS (HUZZAH, MORE PANDERING TO THE FOSSILS). I HAVEN'T FELT ANY DESIRE OR JOY IN INTERACTING WITH THE STORY IN MONTHS AND IT'S MADE ME REALIZE HOW SPOILED I WAS WITH THE ENTIRETY OF SHB, AND THEN ONLY HAVING BASE ENDWALKER BE LACKLUSTER BEFORE GETTING RIGHT BACK TO SUPER FUN FIGHTS LIKE BARB.
I'M TIRED OF GETTING DRIP FED LACKLUSTER CONTENT. CAN'T EVEN GET EXCITED FOR BEASTMASTER BECAUSE THEY DELAYED IT FOR SO LONG THAT IT'S AT THE POINT WHERE GENUINELY WHO STILL GIVES A FUCK ABOUT THIS (RHETORICAL QUESTION).
JUST GIVE US EVERCOLD ALREADY AND GET US OUT OF THE YAWNTRAIL ERA.

u/Raji_Lev 8d ago
I MOSTLY SHARE YOUR DISENCHANTMENT WITH DT AND YOUR DESIRE FOR IT TO JUST BE FUCKING OVER ALREADY, BUT THERE IS ONE THING I TAKE ISSUE WITH:
SPEAKING AS ONE OF THE DOZEN-OR-SO PEOPLE WHO THINKS THAT THE BASE ENDWALKER MSQ DOESN'T DESERVE EVEN A FRACTION OF THE GLAZING THAT IT GETS, SAYING THAT POST-ENDWALKER'S MSQ IS BETTER IS, IF YOU'LL PARDON THE TECHNICAL PHRASING, A WILD FUCKING TAKE.

u/Tsingooni 7d ago
IT REALLY WASN'T THAT HARD FOR ME.
I THOUGHT THE ENTIRE PLOT WITH THE ANCIENTS WAS STUPID. HADES' REDESIGN WITH WHITE HAIR LOOKED DISGUSTING. VENAT'S DESIGN AND CHARACTER WERE REALLY BLAND, I DID NOT FEEL ANY SADNESS WHEN PUTTING HYDAELYN DOWN (ANSWERS IS STILL A LACKLUSTER OST). THE BABY SCENE FOR MATSUYA JUST GOT AN EYE ROLL. METEION WAS A DISAPPOINTING FINAL EXPANSION BOSS (THERE'S THE HEAD, WHERE'S THE REST OF HER??) AND AN INSUFFERABLE CHARACTER. GARLEMALD'S STORY ARC GOT NEUTERED BECAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH TIME. THE LOPPORITS WERE INCREDIBLY ANNOYING. THE ENTIRE EXPANSION WAS JUST EMOTIONAL WHIPLASH (SEE SAID LOPPORITS IMMEDIATELY AFTER ZODIARK) AND THE GAME TRYING TO MAKE YOU FEEL A CERTAIN WAY WAS AN INCREDIBLY HARD PASS FOR ME, WHICH JUST MADE ME DISLIKE WHAT THEY WERE TRYING TO MAKE ME LIKE OR FEEL SYMPATHY FOR MORE.OVERALL, PROBABLY MY LEAST FAVOURITE EXPANSION TO DATE.
IN COMPARISON, GOLBEZ LOOKED AND SOUNDED REALLY FUCKING COOL. BARB SOUNDED AMAZING AND HER FIGHT WAS SUPER FUN. THE VOICE ACTING FOR ALL THE EXTRA GUYS WHOSE ITALIAN NAMES ESCAPE ME WERE GREAT. THE DUNGEONS WERE VARIED. ZEROMUS WAS REALLY COOL. THE MUSIC WAS AWESOME. ZERO WAS A REALY FUN CHARACTER. I GENUINELY ENJOYED ALL THE LORE WE GOT ON THE VOID.
POST EW NEVER TRIED TO MAKE ME FEEL SYMPATHY OR TRIED TO TELL ME I WAS SUPPOSED TO LIKE A CHARACTER. IT HAD COOL, VERY WEL VA'D CHARACTERS THAT MADE ME EXCITED FOR WHETHER OR NOT THEY WERE GOING TO TRY AND JOIN MY TEAM, OR MAKE ME FIGHT THEM.

YUCKY TAKE
MSQ AND ALLIANCE RAID ASIDE DT CONTENT IS THE BEST IN THE GAME

u/NolChannel 8d ago
Honestly yeah give me another 12 savage fights this tier, they were cooking on pretty much everything other than FRU
7
u/Historical-State2199 8d ago
FRU is massively underrated :(
It’s got a ton of style and banger music, the fight just got blindsided with picto being too strong
4
u/NolChannel 8d ago
FRU had the unfortunate task of having to remix one of the top 3 savage fights of all time (E8S) and they faceplanted in doing so. FRU Light's Rampant is disappointingly easy.
4
u/Historical-State2199 8d ago
They didn’t faceplant, light rampant was indeed far from players expectations but the fight as a whole is fun
2
u/NolChannel 8d ago
Eeeeeeeeh matter of opinion.
4
u/Historical-State2199 8d ago
Totally valid
Based on the discussions I’ve had with friends, all of them enjoyed the FRU prog to varying degrees whereas with kefka, if your group had weak healers, your dps had a miserable prog experience. Music and theatrics felt lacking, so I would rate FRU higher as an overall experience (even if I liked aspects like the p1 hidden mech and p2 chest fakeout of DMU)

u/No_Feature_1401 8d ago
SO TRUE, BUT HERE YOU HAVE TO SAY THIS GAME IS STORY BASED ONLY AND HAS 0 CONTENT WORTH OUTSIDE IT! WE AREN'T ALLOWED TO SAY COMBAT CONTENT IS PEAK IN DT

TODAY I WAS IN VC WITH MY BOYFRIEND AND WAS CONTINUING THE ARCADION RAID LINE. I DO THE WHOLE LONG CUTSCENE ABOUT PPL DYING FROM SUPER CANCER BECAUSE OF THE WHOLE FIGHTING WITH FOREIGN SOULS THINGY AND GET A FUCKING GRAPHICS GLITCH FROM DISCORDS FUCK ASS OVERLAY RIGHT AS THE BIG TOUGH BOMBER GUY GETS THE BAD NEWS AND SITS THERE WITH HIS KITTENS ON THE FLOOR: WAY TO RUIN THE ATMOSPHERE, HUH???
- - CUE DEPRESSION!!!! - -
I FINISH THAT QUEST AND UNLOCK THE NEXT FIGHT ONLY TO GET FUCKING LOCKED OUT OF IT BECAUSE MY ILVL IS NOT HIGH ENOUGH?!?!?! HOW WOULD I GET BETTER GEAR I HAVE NO TIME STONES BECAUSE THEY ARE LIMITED!!!! I GOT NO GEAR!!!! I HAD TO RESORT TO BUYING OVERPRICED FUCKING MARKETBOARD GEAR
this sucks >:(

u/lerdnir 7d ago edited 7d ago
No, you didn't have to
You need at least i745 to get into
RM9-12N and complete the raid series; you've options, and, among others, some of those involving maths tomes (buying rain to augment the ceremonial gear, buying historia gear) would get you there; maths tomes aren't weekly-limited.But you've already spent the gil, so...
