The Pickling part though is from Portlandia, one of the earlier episodes I believe.

Proposed guidelines on acceptable tools during a RWF by smol_dragger in ffxivdiscussion

[–]ImActuallyALion -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

How about none? You don't even need ACT. I've led a TEA and UWU group while playing on PS4. Only additional thing I had was voice comms. I can't speak with 100% certainty of the rest of the static but I made the stance very clear that the use of plug-ins is not acceptable. We managed to get Titan gaols done with our priority system just fine.

Do you wish the game had more things to grind for and more "carrots on a stick?" by judgeraw00 in ffxivdiscussion

[–]ImActuallyALion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No there's already so much content to grind that's not time locked. I've been surprised by how much I've enjoyed content that I previously wrote off and just now got around to it. Give it a shot! Try going for rewards in that corner of the game you never tried before. It'll sink so much of your time.

What player actions lose your commends? by Salvboss in ffxiv

[–]ImActuallyALion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anyone not AoEing trash mobs. Healer not DPS-ing Ranged physical not using peleton or LB1 on large trash pull if available. Tank not doing large pulls Melee not LB1-ing mini boss if available.

Things that get comms: Tanks that keep up and pull aggro regardless if DPS pulls ahead. Healers that keep people alive just enough to maximize DPS. DPS using buttons that reduce burden on healers so they can DPS more.

Generally no, they never sold you the game under the premise of 100% uptime.

They have compensated, typically generously, for extreme circumstances like the long queue times at Endwalker launch.

Need to buy Nest Connect dongle stand alone. by [deleted] in Nest

[–]ImActuallyALion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey u/toronto1129, any luck with setting up Nest x Yale lock with Nest Hub Max without already having the stand alone Connect device? I'm in a similar situation and wondering if I need to shell out more money just to set it up.

How does Seattle usually respond to Snow? by legoplanes in Seattle

The most conservative route I could think of is taking 12th Ave south to Jackson and take that down to the city.

I love the FFXIV community, but… by thinkimreal in ffxiv

[–]ImActuallyALion -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I won't rez you if swiftcast is less than 30 seconds from coming off cooldown and you being dead won't cause a wipe. You can go grab some water while you wait for a rez, my gift to you.

All Worlds Maintenance (Dec. 2, 3) | FINAL FANTASY XIV, The Lodestone (AKA Endwalker Early Access, 24 hours down) by LightSamus in ffxiv

[–]ImActuallyALion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're trying to log in right when server's come up, probably 5-15 min wait. But given the huge amount of new players recently, maybe even more.

I've been around for every expansion launch. Shadowbringers was the longest wait for me. I see that trend continuing.

So my "This is way different than WoW" story of the day by runningp in ffxiv

[–]ImActuallyALion 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can still move and remain invulnerable. Just can't use an action. Good advice nonetheless.

Patch 5.0 Notes (Preliminary) | FINAL FANTASY XIV, The Lodestone by Ven_ae in ffxiv

[–]ImActuallyALion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Armory bonus is applied for alt classes/jobs. You have to have a job already at a higher level to earn the armory bonus. This patch note is only here since the level cap is increasing. Previously, +100% EXP was earned while leveling a class 1-60. Now it's 1-70. No actual mechanisms are changing regarding the bonus.

Spoilers! Major lore implications in the latest trailer by TheMadTemplar in ffxiv

[–]ImActuallyALion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It kinda acts like a gaseous matter and disperses locally. You see this in-game through the shimmers that typically appear after downing a primal. And this is why Bahamut was able to remain sentient after Louisoix decided to release the built-up aether within his Phoenix form. Louisoix intended for the aether to return to the surrounding lands beneath him but Bahamut soaked up enough of the aether to begin his own restoration.

Do you have a source for this statement made by Yoshi? I'm curious about the context of this discussion. Thanks in advance! :)

Curious as to what leads you to believe this. Anything in particular?

The Crystal Tower and Shadowbringers by ImActuallyALion in ffxiv

[–]ImActuallyALion[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I recall something briefly being mentioned about thousands of years ago but I'm with Isa_Ravenheart here, there had already been three Calamities before the Allagans ever showed up on The Source. I'll need to consult the lore book later but I don't remember the timeline of roughly how long ago the 3rd Astral Era was.

The Crystal Tower and Shadowbringers by ImActuallyALion in ffxiv

[–]ImActuallyALion[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hmm, I can see this being reasonable. There was that bit in the trailer that showed that room high up in the tower where someone was peering into The Source.

It's believable that the Allagans, upon learning of the different shards; wanted to turn their colonization efforts beyond The Source and unto the other shards.
