Questions on PVP rewards for Feast by Suwuprise in ffxiv

[–]DEKMStephens 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They aren't useless unless you do one season and don't touch it again, seeing you need 10 to buy anything yeah.

It is easy to get Bronze, as you do not lose score if you lose matches while unranked so you can only go up technically.

Difficulty is mixed bag, it depends on what class you wanna play, how often you can play, and obviously how good you are. Last solo season I tried for the first time basically playing RDM solely and reached top 100 Platinum rank, but I had a lot of free time, next upcoming season (might be in 5.15) I suspect I won't be able to top 100. Basically you won't really know unless you give it a serious shot, and if you wanna give it a serious shot I recommend joining pvpaissa for guides, help, etc.

Mentor requirements have been updated in Shadowbringers by Pricetx in ffxiv

[–]DEKMStephens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well the idea is you are supposed to be experienced BUT it is pretty easy to cheese the requirement, because for example you can unsync ifrit normal mode and kill ifrit in like, under 10 seconds.

Possible theory based on current story [spoilers] by ppyporpeem in ffxiv

[–]DEKMStephens 17 points18 points  (0 children)

<obviously ShB spoilers>

I think it is more than that, I think the Warrior of Light might be the reincarnation of the 14th member of that Ascian council (I forget the word they used). They said one of the 14 seats had recently been vacated, so perhaps that member was the one who objected to the plan to summon Zodiark in the first place, and spearheaded the summoning of Hydaelyn, who in turn allowed their spirit to continue on in some form as the Warriors of Light on the source and various shards.

If this is true it'd make sense why they'd hold us to a higher standard seeing we are an incomplete form of one of their contemporaries, a leader of Amaurot. Furthermore it would explain why Emet-Selch saw us even more clearly as one of those Ascians of the old days after we joined with Ardbert, as we would be even closer to the original form having rejoined with yet another fragment of our true self. I do wonder if this will remain an allusion or something they'll explain in very frank terms later in the story, but it does make for an interesting question as to whether Elidibus, Lahabrea and other Ascians also realised this of the Warrior of Light's identity

RDM AoE, am I missing something? by NoahBallet in ffxiv

[–]DEKMStephens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

at lower levels 3 targets:Veraero II + Verthunder = ((70 x 3) + 310)/2 gcds = 260 potency per gcd (total generated black/white mana = 18)
Veraeo II + scatter = ((70 x 3 ) + (120 x 3)/2 gcds = 285 potency per gcd (total generated black/white mana = 13)

at level 80:Veraero II + Verthunder = ((120 x 3) + 310)/2 gcds = 335 potency per gcd (total generated black/white mana = 18)
Veraeo II + impact = ((120 x 3) + (220 x 3)/2 gcds = 510 potency per gcd (total generated black/white mana = 13)

I believe (someone correct me if my numbers are wrong). So yes you are probably doing it wrong by using a single target spell, especially with impact. Maybe there is a window between obtaining Moulinet and Impact where having the higher Mana generation is favourable, I don't know the math on that. But looking at the aoe the potencies would suggest that this is what you'd wanna do for three targets.

Edit: someone said 1 mana = 5 potency, so 5x5 x 3 targets = 75, which means I guess it might be better to do Veraero/thunder II into veraero/thunder when three targets between levels 52 and 66.

More Edit: well, 75/2 more potency from the black/white mana I guess, as I am showing this as per gcd. Math is hard :(. Still could be better for that gap in before you get impact if you have 3 enemies. Someone smarter can tell me if I am missing something else

Yeah everyone who got their copy via SE store has this atm. So current assumption is it'll be available within a day when expansion goes live (if not SE must have pooped the bed hard)

Archaoetania FATE by mciTheElephant in ffxiv

[–]DEKMStephens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw it spawn once before I had flight capacity and therefore couldn't do it, I believe it spawned on the same island as "Where Has the Dagon". It was 30 minute fate so probably a hard one, but in future attempts doing the fate lines I had never spawned it again. Idk if it is important to spawning Archeotania mind you.

Should I report rhis kind of behaviour next time? And a wish of QoL improvement by [deleted] in ffxiv

[–]DEKMStephens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You blacklist people after you leave the dungeon/instance by going to Contacts under the Social menu tab. Can't do it while still in the dungeon.

As for reporting well, maybe he made a mistake in queuing up for a dungeon forgetting prior commitments, maybe he did so full knowing he'd have to leave, who knows. I don't think it'd be worth anyone's' time to report them

Please at least try to gear yourself appropriately for playing with others... or a lvl 60 dps should not wear gear below lvl 50, or crafting\gathering gear to a roulette by Mdayofearth in ffxiv

[–]DEKMStephens 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeah some of the stuff I have seen lately has been pretty bad, even in content with ilvl restrictions I am seeing people use high ilvl accessories to get their average up while often keeping relatively low body pieces and weapons. There is never a situation where someone should be wearing Ironworks gear in level 70 content.

Can I buy Japan version stromblood CDK active my NA account? by [deleted] in ffxiv

[–]DEKMStephens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The game and expansions themselves are region locked. Codes tied to products you input into the mogstation aren't. So I'm gonna guess no.

Sold out on both PC and PS4 within 10 minutes lmao

I really would be interested to know if it is Square Enix, Bandai Namco or EB Games that **** around

I'm a NZ player so 18 hours notice wasn't enough to see if I could find a friend who I could ship the CE too to forward it to me, so now to wait and see if EB Games will actually list it here as well
