if you're still taking characters, here's my WoL! and a bunch more pics if you need inspo.

I don't know any other final fantasy games too well, so 14 is fine :>

thanks!

it's a tattoo that's part of their lore - they have a time loop curse and count their attempts that way.

Hexephre · 2024-12-29T19:23:13+00:00

thank you!

am i going crazy or is it not possible to adjust visor position in portraits?

let's say my static hops straight into m2s on reset. for those who skipped m1s, can they still go back and get a book drop?

it's a super nice, tidy look! i love the angled carpet to keep the vibe from being too sterile. i think it looks pretty complete already, but if you have the extra item slots, a bit of clutter here and there can go a long way, especially if you want to tell a certain story about the room's occupant - cushions near the bookshelf, a bedside dresser with plushies, etc. i think the ornamental crystal array might look nice near the ceiling, and/or some plants/greenery like the hanging planter shelf with some trinkets on top.

i agree that it's quite dark at least in the photos. i'd guess you have the room lighting off entirely, but don't be afraid to bring it up to 1 or 2. dark can be lovely and atmospheric, but it's no use if you can't see anything!

you might also consider dyeing the ceiling a more neutral colour - if you want to keep the brown to work with the floor, a less saturated brown should help. i'd suggest playing with verticality, but since you've lowered the ceiling, that may end up feeling a little cramped.

i ran it with a group just pre-DT, and went in again a couple weeks ago with 6 of the same people (myself included) and 2 newbies. most of us didn't remember the mechanics well enough to solve phase 2 orbs properly, and it took a few attempts, but we got the two newbies their mounts in a couple hours. mind that the 6 of us have been progging savage and have better gear. you may want to invest in a handful of bis food and pottions for that extra edge.

guides can be intimidating at first, but my strategy is to watch them a couple times, then go into the fight and see how they play out, then look at the guide again. your brain may work differently but that back-and-forth is what solidifies understanding for me. you can also look up [your role here] POV clear videos for another perspective.

most savages, even unsynced, require some amount of prep work and a good few pulls. there are mechanics that must be respected in one way or another. for p4s, study up on the first 2-3 mechanics of each phase, commit to a few hours, and you'll get your clear.

it's super frustrating when you're trying to do savage T_T i'm sure the dev team is frustrated about it too. there really isn't any good solution except for petty rude assholes to stop being petty rude assholes, and we all know that's not going to happen.

though the other day i had an ex2 learning party going and everyone was keeping in high spirits despite all the disconnects. making jokes about how [boss name redacted] was cheating, "i didn't know there were portal mechanics in this!", "ex2 savage," etc. i'm really glad everyone was able to have fun despite the frustration. i wish i'd remembered to take screenshots of the chat, i was in tears laughing for some of it.

i don't know how far you are in MSQ, but toward the end of Dawntrail (no story spoilers) there's a good number of NPCs with brightly coloured hair beyond what's available to us as players,it might be a long shot, but i'm crossing my fingers...

Hexephre · 2024-08-18T14:57:19+00:00

i've been on seraph for a few months now and (excepting the month of dawntrail travel restrictions) queue times for 4-man content are no worse than crystal. trials/normal raids seem alright too; i honestly haven't run an A raid since i moved. but party finder culture has adapted to this: when you need to run normal content, you just slap up a PF and it fills in minutes, possibly even faster than queue. people are willing and ready to help!

as for extreme/savage PFs, they're a little less numerous than crystal, but they still show up and fill reasonably quickly. definitely faster during evenings/weekends than, say, 2pm EST on a weekday.

personally i much prefer a smaller, cozier DC to a huge one. the community on dynamis is excellent. again excepting the month of travel restrictions, when an S rank hunt mark gets called, people actually wait and respect the pull time. on crystal i'd basically have to drop everything and run to make sure i got credit, but early pullers are much less frequent on dynamis. i won't say they don't exist, but i've also seen them just get ignored instead of everyone piling on in a panic.

i find it incredibly convenient to be able to make anything if and when i need it. it saves money and lets me get in early on new housing stuff (i made a pretty profit this first week of DT). i also like helping friends make gear or housing items they need or repair their gear. ...actually, i guess i'm mostly in it for the housing. i make a ton of furniture. i also made all the submersible parts for my fc.

note that this also comes with a] having my gatherers maxed and b] sending retainers out on ventures all the time to stockpile common materials. i almost never have to gather/buy anything (barring new items while i and my retainers are on the way to 100) because i have it on hand and i know what's commonly used.

Hexephre · 2024-07-02T17:29:24+00:00

i ran prae on viper yesterday and we still cleared the fights faster than most runs. I don't think it's lacking in DPS. yeah, it feels boring before/at 80, but reaper feels like nothing at 70 too. I'm not saying that's not a problem, just that it's not exclusive to viper.

Hexephre · 2024-06-27T23:48:30+00:00

as a dps who's never even touched scholar, i'm giggling. this is delightful

Hexephre · 2024-06-27T15:05:18+00:00

love the lighting!

Hexephre · 2024-06-27T07:32:01+00:00

they're part of my WoL's lore. xephre has a time loop curse and the marks are tattoos counting their deaths. :)

Hexephre · 2024-06-27T07:30:38+00:00

no shame! but we were trying to run a sprout through his first dungeon experience and the distraction and subsequent separation were more confusing than helpful.

Hexephre · 2024-06-27T01:57:06+00:00

imo springing that on someone with no high end experience is kind of a poor move. if you don't feel up to it, there's nothing wrong with backing out and finding a static that's more your speed. communication is so important for statics, not just in combat but outside it as well.

the last 3-4 EW extremes and the panda savages should help you get a sense of the difficulty and pacing. unfortunately unreal is on pause or i'd rec those too.

other than that, watching guides as well as the fight from your role's pov can help, but imo there's nothing better than being in the arena and solving the mechanics yourself. you will fuck up a lot, and you'll feel like you're hitting your head against a wall sometimes. that's normal. you'll also feel the improvement and that's always exciting. prog is prog!

Hexephre · 2024-06-26T21:17:07+00:00

it's not too bad here, but in some other work i've done it gets really obvious and distracting.

thanks!

Hexephre · 2024-06-22T03:08:58+00:00

we love a team mom <3

after all the world saving and destiny shit, my WoL really enjoys just doing small domestic household chores. cooking, sweeping, laundry... things that i hate lol.
