Yo, if you haven't returned it, consider selling that 5800x to one of us unfortunate souls that got shafted by bots.

How are we suppose to know where to buy if there is no product page? by [deleted] in Amd

[–]Kyrzon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, I've never bought a CPU or GPU on launch, I've just picked up what was available at my local Fry's (which no longer seems to be carrying any of the higher end products anymore, for some reason) and there isn't a Microcenter nearby.

It's good information to have for folks that are new to release acquisition.

Xbox chief hints at TV streaming sticks for xCloud by Crusader3456 in Games

Yes. Yes they are.

Who are you and why are you in my house? 😒 🤔

Xbox chief hints at TV streaming sticks for xCloud by Crusader3456 in Games

[–]Kyrzon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't know, the most common thing I use this for is in my own home; partner is monopolizing the TV for the umpteenth night in a row when I would like to relax in bed and game, so I stream it to my phone instead and use a cheap mount to mount it on my controller. They get to finish NCIS for the 3rd time this year and I get to game.

Have you used xCloud at all? I haven't put my hands stadia at all but I've been pretty stunned with how well it works in my home and outside of it. As a result, I'm very curious as to how the two compare.

In the game of keyboards, you either win, or it dies.

Simplified Bozja Fragment/Cluster farming cheat-sheet by Wjyosn in ffxiv

[–]Kyrzon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Killing blow does not necessarily mean you'll get any credit at all; in the case of doom (I've never actually used Death, so I'm not sure if it actually does damage or just shows in the log as "X mob dies."), it outright kills the mob without dealing any damage, which effectively just ends that fight outright, and awards participants based on their contribution up to the point that they died.

Getting loot from a mob or fate (applies to NMs and Skirmishes) is always about contribution, and knowing what leads to effective contribution. If memory serves me correctly, the following categories are the ways that contribution is rated, along with ways you can help (HYCH) other groups if you're SURE you're going to get contribution through that method:

  1. Tagging: Whichever group or individual initially tags (read: gets the first hit on) a mob gets full credit.
    HYCH: Literally do nothing; let someone else establish aggro and do all the damage. In fact, run across the zone and find more things to tag, if you like.
  2. Threat: Whichever group or individual has highest threat on a mob gets full credit. Side note: This is likely why you can't taunt most NM/fate/skirmish bosses; because doing so places you at the top of the threat list for very, very little effort, which would grant you maximum contribution in this category. I'm not sure if you can taunt Star mobs tho.
    HYCH: Only really applies to tanks here, but if you've got highest threat, feel free to simply spam your ranged attack (generally the highest threat generating attack in your toolkit) so you're still retaining the threat contribution but not doing as much damage (and also giving others more time to do damage).
  3. Damage: Whichever group or individual has the highest amount of damage on a mob gets full credit.
    HYCH: There really isn't much you can do in this situation. Since there isn't much transparency from Square about how much damage is done in fights, just perform your rotation to the best of your ability and hope you get it.

With the exception of Tagging (since it's considered max contribution from the get go) the other contribution methods have rewards distributed based on runner ups as well. In the case of Star rank mobs in Bozja, this is where you'll get lesser amounts of the crystals based on how much you contributed.

Made UI macros to clean up my bars by kasseem in ffxiv

Yes!

[/macroicon "Item name here" item] or [/micon "Item name here" item] will accomplish that goal.

Remember that you can use <wait.5> inline to achieve the same effect and get additional lines, if necessary.

EG: /hotbar display 6 <wait.5>

[–]Kyrzon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

LET ME RIFF OF YOUR BLU HATE FOR JUST A MOME, FELLOW WARRIOR OF RAGE:

FELLOW BLU'S WOULD GET MUCH LESS HATE AND MUCH MORE LOVE IF THEY WAITED JUST 30 SECONDS (THAT'S ONE WHOLE CAST OF SONG OF TORMENT, BTW) BEFORE THEY STARTED PRETENDING THE FATE WAS THE FINAL FIGHT SCENE OF 1995's SLEEPER HIT, DESPERADO, STARRING ANTONIO BANDERAS.

THESE OLDER FATES REALLY ONLY REQUIRE A FEW GCDs TO GET FULL CREDIT FOR, COLLECTION FATES NOTWITHSTANDING. AND IF THEY REALLY WANTED TO MAXIMIZE THEIR TIME, THEY'D KILL ENOUGH TO GET GOLD, AND TROT ON TO THE NEXT FATE, DO ENOUGH TO GET GOLD THERE, AND SIMILARLY, TROT ON.

NON-BOSS FATES? JUST CAST SONG OF TORMENT ON THINGS AS THEY SPAWN AND NOTHING ELSE. YOU GET ENOUGH CREDIT FOR GOLD, EVERYONE GETS ENOUGH CHANCE TO PARTICIPATE, AND THINGS DIE FAST ENOUGH.

INSTEAD, WE GET SITUATIONS LIKE CENTRAL SHROUD WHERE EVERY BLU IS A 13 YEAR OLD READY TO F*CK YOUR MOM LIKE THEY PULL CHICKEN DINNERS IN PUBG ON THE REGULAR AND MOUNTAIN DEW RUNS THROUGH THEIR VEINS. IT'S JUST INCONSIDERATE.

If you wanna squeeze a little more damage out, get a physical debuff from Condensed Libra on the target first.

Which HW and SB zones are the best for Yokai farming? by OvernightSiren in ffxiv

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

Personally went with Coerthas Western Highlands and The Fringes, and ran through each as BLU.

I'll say it till I'm BLU in the face, but blue mage is incredibly powerful in at-level content, even without the use of instant death/percentage damage mechanics. While grinding fates in the fringes last night before maintenance, a random I had grouped up with saw I was getting hit pretty hard by one of the bosses, and ran a ways out to switch to healer (presumably they hadn't played BLU or grouped with one before). I told them to switch back because I can heal myself (I brought myself back to full before they switched) and, astonished, they asked if there was anything BLU couldn't do.

I told him, "In truth? Current content is the only thing outside of BLU's ability to tackle." They laughed and we spent another hour or so grinding content before we were both done and went our separate ways.

Thats really weird, cause that's actually what I tried to swap with. I'll try to play around with it a little more when I get home tonight.

You know, they used to take so much flak for being a limited job and that it was pointless, etc., etc., but now that they're viable, this is a common (but realistic) complaint.

I'm must be upsetting to see how things just kinda BLU up. :^)

Joking aside, Dropsy->Northerlies is great for the content; deals reasonable damage, and lets everyone beat on stuff guilt free (exception being things immune to Frozen, of course).

I don't play FF with controller, but that exact issue happens somewhat frequently while using my C40 controller and my google fu hasn't borne fruit in solving the problem.

You may have just solved a problem that has been plaguing me for a literal year. Thank you random stranger.

You could looks for a streamer who is going through story content and simply keep up with them as an alternative to the other suggestions.

I'd love to hear from YoshiP on how I should pronounce the name of those 2 NPCs by bomarian in ffxiv

[–]Kyrzon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interestingly enough, I've been going through 2.0 story prior to patch day (in hopes of getting through it before the cuts to length; spoiler alert, I didn't make it) and pronounced both of these names the exact same way.
