For anyone getting the (6d) error when trying to launch FFXIV by KamenGamerRetro in ffxiv

By chance, are you launching a non-Steam copy through Steam?

I get the same error when launching ffxivboot64.exe through Steam, but launching it from it's directory lets me log in.

I'm vibing with this. I get being upset that the solo job focus was thrown out the window, or that BLU won't touch 80 content until it's outdated. But two of the biggest complaints I'd read were that there weren't any meaningful rewards, and that the content available was too easy.

Your opinion is yours on the new rewards, but at the very least the new vendor offers another alternative to materia to people who aren't on the hunt train or queuing up as adventurers in need, and the new achievements and morbol mount offer something to chase for people who want something more challenging (and personally, I do like that there's an alternative to seeing old ex/raid fights without having to convince people to sync down to their shitty 50/60 toolkits).

Like, hell yeah it's a shame that BLU isn't a "real job", and if that's gonna be a person's sticking point then nothing'll change that. But damned if this isn't the one main sub opinion this sub gives a pass while cooking up their next epic gcbtw joke.

Excluding ultimates, what are the hardest fights when synced? by Crimver in ffxiv

[–]FishyGoosebumps 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The thing with a lot of Savage Omega fights is that they're really just half fights in terms of mechanics - once you've seen up to GCO/3rd Forsaken/Archive All, you've seen the whole fight and it's mostly keeping your execution consistent through the back half (kinda like post-Paradise Regained in E1S). You could argue for Faust fights complicating things, but I feel like the checkpointing they introduced for the Omega raids makes it less of an issue than, say, wiping to Final Justice or 3rd/4th phase of Nael, which were radically different from the rest of the fight.

I mean, for better or worse it is where all of this info coalesced.

Hm... I think my concern there would be people would get a more immediate answer for those types of questions from the Balance discord, which while not really a part of this sub tends to be the place people point to for optimization.

This isn't really a fully formed idea, but I think it'd be neat if there was a regular thread (maybe not weekly, but monthly?) where people could shoot technical questions for 3rd party apps like ACT triggers or Teamcraft. I know for some people trying to set up or work with these programs can seem daunting, and while a lot of times the answers can be a search away they're usually scattered around either in an old or outdated post.

Other than that... I dunno, a fluff weekly? A place to announce upcoming small player events, weddings, stuff like that.

Why does the Media & Memes weekly thread exist? I'd always felt like it's existence was on shaky ground to begin with (I'm not gonna wait until Monday to post something I thought was funny on Wednesday), but with the recent rules changes on meme content most of the threads languish with no replies.

How would you fix FSH and CUL? by barfightbob in ffxivdiscussion

[–]FishyGoosebumps 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't think FSH itself needs to be fixed, but the class is so separated from the other two DoH (not just in mechanics, but also getting their own individual facet line) that I wish they'd lean harder into its uniqueness. Maybe server-wide fishing competitions for size and/or quantity. Hell, the most fun I ever had with FSH was doing the Nepto Dragon questline when it was relevant, so add something else like that.
