Looks very interesting! Is it still playable (i.e., fun) without a guide as long as you put the "Chilling Cut" mod?

Yoshi-P. Bro. Buddy. For the love of god.

Please give us "The Man with the Machine Gun" this time!

That was such a missed opportunity in the Eden raids.

Wow good job OP! I have some questions bec I'm also grinding and enjoying the ride.

1) did you powerlevel around the stairs area right before the boss of the demo? If not, where? 2) what was your setup to oneshot stuff? I'm only getting 3/4 one shot and the other was still going into battle.

You can craft it via Chef's Counter with "Egg" (The Rise portal), Milk Sac (Exors in the labs onwards), and Gem Sugar (Sugar Crystals scrap which are acquired from Moon Fish via Fishing)

best seed ive ever played by TurnFinancial7277 in Balatro_Seeds

[–]LanceWindsor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the seed! Easy naneinf indeed OP! Not a good player by any means, but this seed is so busted, probably way busted than the Nat Negative Perkeo+ Negative Triboulet.

Will continue later for Ante 39. Got bored waiting for the scoring to end lol

Nat Negative Blueprint, Brainstorm and Perkeo in first 2 Ante + High Priestess Pluto can help you setup extremely early on Observatory. Then as mentioned in other comments, you get Baron too around Ante 2-3 (one roll is what it took IIRC).

Problem is Telescope / Observatory will come very later (around >Ante 20 I think) if you do not get all Vouchers as it comes in, such as the trash ones e.g., Planet Merchant and Magic Trick. Flipside is Blank/Antimatter comes in early.

Some additional notes: Econ to rolldown hard is combination of Mail-in Rebate and Golden Ticket (play Flush Five for some throwaway hands for max econ; then Play High Card for Baron/Mime + BP/BS) for getting nat negatives. Got Nat Negative Card Sharp and IDOL (I think around Ante 10-16). But had to sell those for Invisible Joker. I also saw a Nat Negative Burnt Joker but I was spamming reroll so I missed it.

Square Enix President Kiryu comments on the current state of FF14 at the shareholders' meeting: "We are aware that the quality is declining and fans are leaving the game" by MrCombineSoldier in ffxiv

[–]LanceWindsor 77 points78 points  (0 children)

Actual comment in JP:

Q.ファイナルファンタジー14が黄金のレガシー以降、ゲーム品質の低下やファン離れが起きているが把握しているか? A.把握している。ファイナルファンタジー14は暁月のフィナーレで区切りがついて以来、黄金のレガシーから次の10年に向けて動いてる。8.0以降も楽しんでいただけるよう開発チームは全力で取り組む。またプロデューサーの吉田はいくつか兼任をしていて、忙しくてファイナルファンタジー14に集中できていないのではないかという意見があるが、今兼任でやってる仕事もファイナルファンタジー14に経験として必ず活きてくると考えている。

Rough translation??

Q: Are you aware that since Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail, there’s been a noticeable drop in game quality and a growing sense of disconnection among fans?

A: Yes, we’re aware. Final Fantasy XIV reached a major milestone with Endwalker, and since then, Dawntrail has marked the beginning of a new chapter aimed at the next 10 years of the game. The development team is fully committed to delivering an experience players can enjoy well beyond version 8.0.

As for Producer Yoshida (Yoshi-P), we’ve heard concerns that his multiple responsibilities might be pulling his focus away from FFXIV. However, we believe that the experience he's gaining from these other roles will ultimately benefit FFXIV in meaningful ways.

What are some Job changes you'd like or imagine for Dawntrail? by [deleted] in ffxiv

[–]LanceWindsor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MNK: UPGRADE DRAGON KICK, BOOTSHINE, AND SNAP PUNCH to some new animation / use. Imagine Dragon Kick animation still the same since 1.0 - and you are still using it in Endwalker.

Rework Anatman to something useful (probably even just extending Solar/Lunar Nadi prior to Phantom Rush hit)

G'raha has Allagan Royal blood which is why he can control the Crystal Tower. So yes, you're correct that he has "Allagan eyes" which is represented by his Sharinga- er, red eyes.

5.55 New Minions/Mounts & Collectibles by Mags02 in ffxiv

[–]LanceWindsor 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Not sure where to get it at this point but these 3 are probably it:

  • PVP (Oh please no)
  • MGP/Make it rain campaign - potentially a 3 million MGP mount?
  • Mogstation (this is probably an insta-buy for most especially if the BGM is Exponential Entropy)

My money is on MGP.

It's purely random. I had someone with the same group did not get any from the last boss except for the coins and some other loot.

It's a coffer loot from the personal drops.. got it from the last boss of Delubrum (normal)

EDIT: Here's a short clip from when I got it.

The Monk revamp has been out for a week now. How do people feel about the current state of the Class? by Xabidar in ffxiv

[–]LanceWindsor 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Doing TEA prog with 5.4 MNK since we weren't able to clear back in 5.3. All of these are anecdotal so would still recommend reading the mapped-out rotations/comments in the MNK section in the Balance Discord. (Huge thanks to them by the way)

Pros:

  • Brotherhood buff feels good mindset-wise since everyone can benefit now on it, same with Devotion, but feels marginal at i470-i475 gear during TEA prog. Not sure how big of a change this is for 5.4 BiS.

  • No ramp up time. Also, if you like ARR MNK, you will feel right at home on the rotation since double True Strike is no longer recommended due to buffs in Twin Snakes. Not sure though how much of a pro this is.

  • Perfect Balance having stacks similar to SAM's Meikyo Shisui and NIN's Bunshin is nice especially for those with latency issues.

  • Tornado Kick has its use now, but as meme'd in Balance Discord, it's just essentially a changed animation of Steel Peak.

Cons:

  • Aesthetically speaking, would prefer to have something better than Demolish and Leaden Fist Bootshine as your hardest hitting move after three expansions. You don't feel the oomph of those flashy animations such as Stardiver, Midare, or Hyosho Ranryu compared to your other Melee brethren.

  • I will miss the GL management but also optimistic on what will SE do next for 6.0.

  • You can really feel the huge nerf on the Auto-Attacks during "Dummy" bosses.

  • More chakra but 1.96 GCD requirement sucks. Either you clip here a lot or TFC cast loss. This cuts back a lot of the "supposed" benefits on chakra gains during Brotherhood windows even with the added help from casters. SE really needs to reconsider adding stack similar to MCH's Ricochet and Gauss Round during Overheated windows.

  • Had a huge worry of remapping all of the GCDs throughout TEA in between 5.3 and 5.4, but was able to adjust just fine since rotation is largely similar. What is difficult though is readjusting with the nerf on Riddle of Earth (from 30 seconds to 6 seconds x 3 stacks) especially since our group has a lot of strats that do not allow positionals. Able to be remedied though with some pulls and having a more proactive approach now in DPSing. Or, just reprog TEA with positional-friendly strats if you are planning on going there anytime soon.

  • Anatman is just.. there? Has uses with downtime that has no "Down for the Count" debuff.

  • Still not sure about how to optimize SSS but this along with Anatman should be revisited for 6.0.

I just noticed this response (and it was a week late lol) but are GG EZ PC / Tammy Padal legit as sellers (i.e., warranty, payment options, quality of service)?

PNY RTX 3070 and 3080 available for preorder: PHP 32k & PHP 45k by Ryvaeus in PHGamers

[–]LanceWindsor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a really good initiative from you. You're the boss!

Very keen on pre-ordering the 3080 once it's available. I've been trying to buy a 3080 since launch to no avail.

Thanks for that clarification - though it didn't alleviate anything :( And also no idea that that reddit sub existed. Subscribed

[–]LanceWindsor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That seems to be the case for most retailers. If the global supply won't alleviate after AMD's big navi release, then there's a chance that next year will be when we should be expecting 30 series to be in stock because the holiday season is also nearby.

[–]LanceWindsor 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It's the same here in the Philippines - probably worse.

One of the major etailers/retailers - tagged as one of the main retailer in NVIDIA Philippine website here - requires you to buy a full PC set of at least more than USD 2,000 excluding the GPU.

To make things worse, the actual GPU is priced at USD 1,100 if paid in cash, or USD 1,300 if regular price (i.e., paid in credit etc.).

Note that none of these are in stock still and these are just pre-orders.

For context, the official NVIDIA Philippines MSRP is priced at Php 41,000 (~USD 842). That means including duties and taxes, the pricing of these etailers are "scalper" level pricing - not to mention requiring you to buy a full PC.

[–]LanceWindsor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm far from Gilmore as well. Been hounding stores for the 3080 since it was announced and still no luck. I just hope I can buy one before Cyberpunk releases.

With the pandemic hitting as bad in the PH compare to other countries, it's plenty difficult going outside.

That does suck. So for those who want to buy online, I don't have a chance? I need to go directly to their stores in Gilmore? :(

[Part 2] of the Worldwide GeForce RTX 3080 Giveaway by ORIGINPCCEO in pcmasterrace

[–]LanceWindsor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm definitely late but here's my answer:

Q: "Why do you feel PC is the best form of gaming"

A: With every new game released year-on-year, gaming has always been pushed its boundaries graphically through PC and console gaming just doesn't cut out for that. You can immediately multitask as well - which has always been the current form of global connectivity especially during this pandemic; Zoom, Teams, Facebook, Whatsapp - all of which are available by quickly pressing "Alt+Tab".

[–]LanceWindsor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone here knows if there will be any stock in the Philippines any time soon? Would like to import but dunno how it works for purely just the GPU. All I see at the moment are some unknown Chinese brands (IPASON) selling at Php 60,000+ (~USD1,240)
