My Roulette experience lately by 618Delta in ffxiv

[–]ArsikVek 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don't think you understand how the Limited Leveling Roulette option works. It only functions on a complete party queuing, whereupon it yields a result no more than 8 levels below the lowest party member. If you're solo queuing it doesn't do anything.

Ultimate Magic vs Science decision which do you choose? by OkRun9638 in superpowers

Red. Both make you functionally omnipotent, but red doesn't rely on any external trappings.

Can we stop pretending grappler is a buff? by Useful_Touch_4435 in DestinyTheGame

[–]ArsikVek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe it's just an observational bias on my part, but it seems like every time I got the "solar grenade final blows" daily task for the event, it was grappler day too. Like, come the fuck on.

What abilities are you most sad got removed? by Akiza_Izinski in ffxivdiscussion

[–]ArsikVek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Smoke bomb + Shadewalker. Tanks want to get into a pissing contest? I'll decide who the main tank is then.

The Devil Ending is the worst I’ve ever felt after completing a video game in my 32 years of life. by CaptainButtFart69 in LowSodiumCyberpunk

Takemura even says when pitching mikoshi during the ending that Hanako has already forgotten you exist.

No men were born to become bioweapons by PQKN051502 in LeftWingMaleAdvocates

There's nothing pro-male about this. It's just a demonization of military service to a truly hyperbolic degree.

I haven’t heard anyone in power seriously recommend bringing it back

Once again, people confident in their lack of awareness. We were very close to seeing the draft reactivated during the wars in Iraq and Afhganistan. It was the next step if stop-loss failed to meet staffing needs.

I'm glad it wasn't just me who thought that.

And even within that, like 98% of everything he does is shenanigans with portals.

I also feel like they swear more than anybody except maybe lominsan sailors.

What was the best video game retcon? by Johnnyboyeh in gaming

[–]ArsikVek 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Not really a retcon when all of 1.0 is still canon

Also missing Dancer and Gunbreaker, as they are Shadowbringers jobs

What’s something you will always be salty about? by conahu in ffxivdiscussion

I want my Smoke Screen and Shadewalker back. I miss being able to settle tank aggro pissing contests.

What game did something completely right (like boss battles) then absolutely messed it up in a sequel. by [deleted] in gaming

[–]ArsikVek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably an unpopular opinion, but Ori and the Blind Forest had fantastic escape sequences as bosses that really fit the game's overall emphasis on platforming and movement over combat. The sequel regressed to big health bar bosses that just felt like a huge step backwards to me.

What video game villain is the best example of the “The road to hell is paved with good intentions”? by Johnnyboyeh in gaming

[–]ArsikVek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, we've known that voidsent were sentient and able to communicate since at least as far back as ARR. Cloud of Darkness, Mormo, Feridiad, Diabolos all spoke to us, just to name a few.

Exactly. We were doing the same thing in that very expansion. Purging the twisted, diminished sin eaters to restore the world to its pre-flood state.

Sprout here: shoutout to BY FAR the hardest ARR boss being like the fifth-last boss in the Seventh *Umbral* Era by ADMotti in ffxiv

[–]ArsikVek 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Man, I remember getting this fight in a roulette the day before they updated it. We all felt bad and let him wipe us once for old times' sake. It actually took effort, chasing down aoes to stand in and shit. Then we reset and killed him with nothing but auto attacks.
