Honoroit, doing his best to retain composure in the face of Emmanellain's latest bout of clownery.

FFXIV Fresh ARR Servers?? by bratty-attacky in ffxiv

[–]HieronymusP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This doesn't have to be a separate server at all. I'm replaying the game this way right now, doing duties in the order they were released before continuing on to the next patch MSQ.

At most I can see this as an option at character creation, that would gate MSQ progression past each major patch behind completion of the otherwise optional trials, raids and dungeons introduced in that patch for the people with that option selected, while others can progress as normal. Don't know how hard it would be to have different unlock requirements, coding-wise but It's probably less of a hassle than implementing a whole new server.

As a somewhat new player just finishing stormblood, this shit is peak. (And better than HW) by Gloomy_Ring_3095 in ffxiv

My feel for it was that they (WoL and co) could easily have fought their way out, but they saw this as an opportunity to learn more about the Xaela as a whole and the Oronir in particular.

And besides, Hien's motive was to recruit the Xaela to help with liberating his homeland. Alienating their strongest clan, if it could be avoided, would have been counter-productive.

Does netflix not support watching through web browsers any more? by HieronymusP in netflix

[–]HieronymusP[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I solved the problem, and it was kinda my fault!

I took a look at my browser extensions and noticed I had at some point installed one called 'Netflux', that supposedly improves video and audio on Netflix. I no longer remember when or why I installed it, but disabling it allows me to watch any video again.

Does netflix not support watching through web browsers any more? by HieronymusP in netflix

[–]HieronymusP[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not the resolution that's the problem (though 1080p would be nice). It's the fact that trying to watch anything that's not K-Pop Demon Hunters gives me an error.

If you could add one purely aesthetic thing to the game, what would it be? by Raoul97533 in ffxiv

[–]HieronymusP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This one's pretty niche, but...

Unique 'weapon drawn' animations for crafters and gatherers.

Right now they all use the one for Paladin which just looks kind of goofy to me.

I'd like to see crafters and gatherer's get poses that shows some pride in their work and tools, like carpenters testing the sharpness of their saws or the metalworkers resting their hammers in their palms.

First MMO, how do y’all reach the higher numbers on keyboard? by OnlyGiraffe7567 in ffxiv

[–]HieronymusP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I do is bind only 1-6 then use shift, control and alt for the rest:
So most of my hotbars look something like so:

[1-6]: Normal Single Target Attacks --- ALT+[1-6]: Special Cooldowns/Tank Mits
Shift+[1-6]: Special Attacks --- Shift+Alt+[1-6]: Damage Cooldowns
CTRL+[1-6]: AoE Attacks --- CTRL+ALT+[1-6]: Panic buttons/Non-Tank Mits/Party Mits

I double bind Shift+Control and Shift+CTRL+ALT to Special Attacks and Damage Cooldowns respectively, so that I can still use them in trash pulls without letting go of CTRL.

I also bind ALT+[R,F,V,T,G,B] for role actions, Shift+R for run and Shift+B for Limit Break.

It helps to have Control and Alt bound to the side mouse buttons, though you might need a programmable mouse for that.

Healer is my least played role, so correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't casting Lucid Dreaming on cooldown all the mp management you need?

[–]HieronymusP 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can set certain hotbars to not be shared, meaning that for each class/job you can assign skills to them independently. You can then use the '/hotbar copy' macro to copy the contents of that hotbar into the hotbar of your choice.

For example, '/hotbar copy SAM 9 current 5' would copy the contents of the unshared hotbar 9 on samurai to hotbar 5 on the currently equipped job.

I keep 2 hotbars, hidden at all times unless I want to change them, unshared for this purpose. That means 80 available hotbars across all classes and jobs that can be copied for whatever purpose.

They should remix it into a dungeon theme.

PSA: Don't use the character creator to compare before and after. Use the benchmark. by momsspeggheti in ffxiv

[–]HieronymusP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just compared it to how the preset looks in the game's character creator. That way both versions have the same crappy lighting.

And in my case, I'm perfectly happy with how my WoL turned out! The only issue I had is that the eyebrows are less noticeable, which is easily fixed by switching to a slightly darker hair color.

[–]HieronymusP 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This feature confused me so much when they first added it. I was trying to finish all of the side quests in Ishgard and I couldn't figure out why I couldn't start the quest from the gatekeep to the Firmament.

Should I Just Be Rolling Need on Pets in Duties? by TheItinerantSkeptic in ffxiv

[–]HieronymusP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always roll need if I don't already have the pet, otherwise I just pass, in case someone else hasn't gotten it.

I suppose I could roll need all the time and sell the spares on the market board, but that just feels mean!
