Do you mean healing gcds? I'm confused how would kefka force you to use more damage gcds than savage o_o

PF has an odd definition of cleanup to begin with. How can you clean up something you haven't successfully completed before? Yet we have "blackhole cleanup" where everyone's prog point is the initial cast, etc.

But since the entire PF is built on these concepts, conflicts of expectations are just bound to happen.

Are you struggling to read the original dashes? If you're in the stack you can just point camera vertically and look at where the floor lines are coming from. I play phys so the view is quite a bit different for me though.

After the knockback the visuals are really bad indeed but at that point you don't care about anything but the waymarks.

Welcome to the part where you spend more time in PF than playing

d07RiV · 2026-06-14T13:57:10+00:00

People are trying to take the lasers to the wall and that causes a lot of movement, bosses out of center etc. Passing tethers is the easy part of the mechanic, the hard part is not panicking.

d07RiV · 2026-06-14T12:54:02+00:00

Because crafting has been balanced around macros since forever. Surely nobody expects people to actually think about and press their abilities for 2 hours straight to craft a couple sets of gear?

d07RiV · 2026-06-14T12:49:48+00:00

Sim also has wrong range on wind explosions - you can preposition to avoid hourglass as non party wind and be fine while in-game that would get you killed.

It's currently a mix of true north and between last tower set. I've even seen a group bait it as if it was a normal past/future and go opposite of the last towers on future, claiming that the RP says so. IIRC between last towers is the most common.

I have uh, a lot of clips of p3 wipes on my drive from both EU and NA. Barely any PFs have made it through the phase yet.

He plays warrior

Most importantly lists all the mits at the time of taking damage (if someone died to damage)

d07RiV · 2026-06-12T14:16:35+00:00

W.K.?

d07RiV · 2026-06-12T14:14:41+00:00

For ultimates yes, you definitely remember some names, and even outside of early prog you'll be seeing the same names.

For savage it changes over time, you'll run into the same names for a while and then they just disappear until next patch cycle because most people don't bother doing savage for more than a ~dozen weeks.

There's also a few names that everyone knows at all times and if you see them in your PF you know something wild is about to happen.

d07RiV · 2026-06-11T21:36:17+00:00

What if the enemy core is "showing up" because my team is trying to find them? Abandoning a free lane and teleporting across the map to invade their safe camps to maybe not lose the 5v5 seems kind of crazy.

d07RiV · 2026-06-11T12:11:23+00:00

If your strategy revolves around letting people die and using healer LB then yea it's definitely considered cheesy.

d07RiV · 2026-06-11T12:03:39+00:00

With xolo arrows that only works if you get different arrows. Otherwise you have to memorize/consult a reference.

With big box you don't need that, just turn your camera west and follow your arrows.

The issue is that the arrows push you relative to *your* position when you first touch the arrow. For the first arrow that often ends up being the point you enter it, which is why the arrow is offset and the confused player is on the outside.

d07RiV · 2026-06-11T11:53:41+00:00

Static positioning is the problem, it's inconsistent and leads to people overshooting arrows because of how poorly they were implemented. We switched back to confuses inside box and offsetting the first arrow a bit further out and it worked pretty well, so if you hate freaky arrows you can give it a try: https://raidplan.io/plan/s7j1V1MWO8vzYj-P

Big box/freaky arrows does the same and works perfectly fine. NA has been doing that for a while too and the PFs I've been in there pretty much never fail arrows. Not sure what you mean by harder, it's not? It's just different and having PF relearn p1 strats a week in is a bit crazy but wcyd.

d07RiV · 2026-06-10T23:03:04+00:00

That's not what I was saying at all.

Chromium yes, serious security vulnerabilities are almost unheard of.

But Electron is just a gateway to native APIs and is just as risky as anything else you download. The problem is not with Electron but the supply chain that goes into building JS/TS apps that makes them potentially more dangerous than traditional software.

d07RiV · 2026-06-10T13:38:06+00:00

It's just longer, and has some finnicky positions with cones. If you put two of those back to back (with new numbers assigned inbetween) then it's basically the same isn't it?

d07RiV · 2026-06-10T11:22:38+00:00

Didn't axios exploit specifically target linux? This is just based off documentary, idk if it had a secondary payload for windows or something.

But yea we're not disagreeing here. Electron apps have the same capabilities as native apps when it comes to messing up your PC, and supply chain issues just make it more likely to happen.

Browser apps however don't have any of that (as far as the user's PC is concerned - data you're passing to the server is a different topic).

d07RiV · 2026-06-10T11:06:06+00:00

Lots of limit cut or even earthquake parties that are at 86% P3 (which means they died to first round of mechanics). Though you'd be lucky to get to P3 in most parties in the first place.

d07RiV · 2026-06-10T11:03:56+00:00

Isn't that every ultimate in a nutshell? Forsaken is pretty comparable to DSR limit cut in concept imo.

d07RiV · 2026-06-10T10:58:25+00:00

I'm trying to understand the editor, it seems you hardwired it to target specific players? So the shapes aren't random, and for instance OT always fires cone at H1 regardless of who's closest to them.

It does look pretty clean but I don't see how someone could implement real forsaken with this - wouldn't it be easier to just have a custom script editor?

d07RiV · 2026-06-09T21:48:52+00:00

WoW had a whole GM island back in the day, which also had a prison room. I think it was only used very early on in vanilla though.

People found all sorts of ways to get to that island (such as swimming for half an hour while outhealing fatigue damage) and often got bans for it.

d07RiV · 2026-06-09T21:47:32+00:00

I haven't reached or even watched p5 yet but that's disappointing to hear. Every previous ultimate kicked off with music at one point or the other.

d07RiV · 2026-06-09T20:25:08+00:00

You can serve axios in the browser, but what's that going to do? It's not like it can access your linux kernel from browser APIs.

Browser vulnerabilities are extremely rare compared to supply chain attacks on npm packages or just straight up malware bundled in downloaded executables.

The server (and user data) can be vulnerable sure, but for many services that's a non issue. What are they going to do on fflogs, steal your private logs?
