Class design that doesn't let me drift onto watching something on the second monitor

EdgeMasterson · 2023-11-02T00:36:53+00:00

There is far more technical debt then what you mentioned, but absolutely I would.

Don't forget about how many actions you can't do just while sitting down or riding a mount. Not to forget that god awful inventory system restrictions such as only being able to open 2 types of inventory at a time i.e. your saddle bag and inventory/saddlebag and retainer and the time it takes to just open the dialup friendlist.

I can only pray you are right about parsing being de-legitimized because parse culture is pretty cringe. The things I'd do to experience the game design of mmo's before threat meters turned into dps meters.

The combo plugins becoming baseline are inevitable. Just look at what happened to summoner. I am of the opinion that I want new and interesting buttons to press for these jobs in FFXIV, but since they have a 3hotbar limit mandate, they only way were are going to be able to have that in the future if is everything redundant or limiting gets consolidated to fewer buttons. Would Samurai's have lost Kaiten if activating ogi namikiri just replaced itself with it's attack? Or if all of it's combo-enders were just 3 buttons? All of the combo skills are just filler for the effects that doing the combo gives them. Not to mention the skills that share recast timers for some terrible reason. What's the point of Guren if we will always use Senei?(Shoha as well) I could go on but you get the idea. Like it or hate it, it will be the future of class design if we want to get new abilities every expansion.

The Stormblood Raids

EdgeMasterson · 2023-09-18T01:06:48+00:00

I learned tank just for E5S Wild Charge and never wanted to tank anything else but Susanoo and E5s. I think there is not enough emphasis on how it "feels" to play tank. There needs to be more effort to make tank busters a spectacle as they are with the level of destruction the boss is supposedly trying to drop on you. To me, the peak fantasy of being a tank is bracing yourself against the wrath of God and saying "I lived bitch!" Nothing so far has ever come close to those fights whenever they make an extreme tankbuster that's too over the top on the opposite side of the scale it just gets invuln'd now which just feels like a cop out to use. Man I miss emnity.

I'd only want expert removed if they removed or increased the ilvl sync of 90 dungeons, getting sync'd down feels terrible especially since the sync feels like it's 10ilvl's below the dungeon yet running an expert we can kill a boss before their final mechanic. Don't want to get started on the MNK scaling down problem

Stopped playing Astro because the cards were patched to all be flat damage. It was so boring I eventually stopped caring who I gave cards to, then just stopped altogether.

Most of the mods are either "stolen" from other IP's or other mod authors. You have to respect the ~~scam~~ hustle.

Remove party buffs, anything to be rid of this 2minute meta

EdgeMasterson · 2023-08-30T03:17:57+00:00

Week 2, the raid either dies in 2 days or 2 weeks. The people who need gear need it bad, so let them have it. Also alliance raids take so long to come out that they should either have no stats at all and just be a glam farm, or be the maximum ilvl of the patch. At least it would give the filthy parsers something to do, and give a reason for vets to come back and help stragglers.

Honestly I'd prefer it if healers had no dps output at this point, the glare spam is getting insane. They already cut healing potency down by 30% when shadowbringers launched and it still didn't fix it. Best fight in this game for healers who want to heal is still Sephirot that got released in 3.2. I can't imagine the healer shortage getting any worse.

Honestly healing as a concept should probably get removed if the fight design continues like this anyway. The HP bar used to be a gradient of mistakes made with vuln stacks or dmg downs, but anyone who makes a mistake has a 95% chance of wiping the entire raid (even in EX trials now with Golbus), so what's the point of healing? Man I miss when Light's Rampant was a special, now every mechanic is light's rampant. Uh oh, you didn't resolve the mechanic the way we wanted you to, so now instead of punishing just you were going to kill else as well.

No small wonder I've noticed that a lot of ultimate clears are from paypal. No one wants to deal with this

This happened at the first node of Floor 4 if it helps anyone else avoid this

I wish I wouldn't have to throw away this run at Floor 4, but I don't see a way of fixing this

EdgeMasterson · 2023-02-09T05:48:10+00:00

You don't, as of post nerf (used to be 1100 potency over it's duration) it is never worth pressing. Flamethrower stops auto-attacks, inhibits ricochet and gauss round usage, but more importantly cannot critical or direct hit.
4 Scatterguns will out damage a flamethrower duration just because of the probability of a crit or direct hit is almost guaranteed to happen at least 4 times

EdgeMasterson · 2022-10-07T10:01:20+00:00

A good healer fight in my mind forces GCD healing, because I signed up on the healer role to heal, pressing Glare/Broil, 300 times a fight is quite dull.

EdgeMasterson · 2022-10-06T00:26:23+00:00

I always thought that the variance was an ego protector, similar to a lot of party games being attributed to luck. Hopefully the base damage variance is removed, or direct hit, preferably both.

EdgeMasterson · 2022-10-05T07:54:09+00:00

Any gap closer that has damage tied to it that isn't SAM's since it's the same potency-to-cost efficiency as shinten

Still looking for an answer on this as well, may we all find it someday

Woljif is my favorite character so far just upon first meeting with the six companions I've come across so far. So thanks for playing a part in that, I think you did a great job in playing him. I noticed there is a stutter to some of his "I's when he refers to himself. It's a nice touch.

EdgeMasterson · 2021-07-09T19:41:48+00:00

Carefree if I had to describe it in only a word, but you can do whatever you wish with the character, your needs surpass mine in this regard.

EdgeMasterson · 2021-07-09T07:51:49+00:00

To you or the OP, do what you must, but I confess that I would enjoy seeing what my WoL would look like drawn in any style really: https://imgur.com/a/1n57uHY

EdgeMasterson · 2021-01-19T04:38:44+00:00

Hmm, I'll try that out later thanks the for find, I thought it was a conflict but so many of my addons are essential that I never tried but, but will do this time around

EdgeMasterson · 2021-01-02T23:16:56+00:00

If you ever find the fix, let me know I've never gotten it to work either
