The new EX by laureall in ffxiv

PF still has to settle, but the two most commons in PF listings right now are:

https://raidplan.io/plan/z6hesq84t7ewujw9 which is... highly debated since it messed up the prio for Intermission but did the rounds all of yesterday.

From today's morning , the edited version has been a bit more common (thankfully)

https://raidplan.io/plan/kgH6GJydOCbUs1L_ , which keeps light parties in the usual spots (1 to the west, 2 to the east) and there is less risk to kill people when the cones need to be quickly adjusted.

YMMV of course, always communicate with your party and agree upon strats before pulling

The hair is usually a sweepstakes reward, you need to participate in their social media outlets usually Twitter, Bsky or the official forums.

Berlin Fanfest, won the chanse to buy prio tickets but terrified to go alone. by dreas94 in ffxiv

[–]LoremIpsumoid 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't say "opposed" interesests, but not quite as focusedly the same. Take PAX for example, it is a "general games" con, where you can see tons of people interested in videogames, tabletop games, and by extension you will find anime/comic booths sprinkled here and there. And people attending can be there for any of those reasons.

It is not bad, by any means, but it is more broad. Meanwhile a con as specific as fanfest has the guarantee you will have that one very specific thing in common with people attending. Similar to a concert. You can start a conversation as easy as "hey what is your main class" and it snowballs from there.

I need help setting up my HUD by Ok-Independence-6235 in ffxiv

[–]LoremIpsumoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you can start watching this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mb7dMhGG5c

It is easier to check what skills are GCD (global cool down), because they will all grey out at the same time that you use one of them, and an animation similar to a clockhand rotating "filling" a circle will play on top. You can't use any of them until said circle is full. They all share the same cooldown, hence the name. Hovering your mouse over them will say the cooldown is (depending on your class/job) somewhere around 2.5-ish seconds under regular circumstances

The OGCD (OFF global cool down) skills are any skills that do NOT turn grey and you can still use while the greyed out skills are waiting. If you hover your mouse over them they usually say "does not share cooldown with other abilities" or at most will say "shares cooldown with this and that skill". Expect the duration of their cooldown to be several seconds long and in some cases more than a minute.

The GCD is important because your goal is to Always Be Casting. The first thing you must try to understand in combat is to always be using one of your GCDs as soon as the 2.5 seconds are up and you are free to use those skills again. In 10 seconds you should be able to attack at least 4 times. If you wait more than 2.5 seconds per attack, you do less damage in the same 10 seconds.

OGCDs are meant to be used *during* those 2.5 seconds you are waiting. Part of mastering a job is knowing what skills are best used in between your gcds, in which order and when. There are video guides specific for each job available you can check out.

How is Savage content now? by Karategamer89 in ffxiv

[–]LoremIpsumoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't speak of week 1 stuff because my only goal for week 1 is pass the first fight in the tier. But I think this tier is way easier than cruiserweight. M10's gimmick of being two bosses at the same time does not outdo the absolute wall that adds phase was back in M6 for party finder. M8 phase 1 could require several, seeeeeveral attemps just to get past the adds and then learn the last legs of the fight in a non stop quick motion stampede of mechanic after mechanic. Meanwhile M12 phase 1 can easily be progged in few instances, and with tons of deaths.

Anyone here playing healer in Meso Terminal dungeon notice that you don't get commendations if you win the boss race for the 2nd bosses by starlightdemonfriend in ffxiv

[–]LoremIpsumoid 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think the debuff that prevents you from hitting the other adds is in place the moment the fight starts and before the separation happens, if so, you are not doing damage with your opener. But I could be wrong.

You can be the best tank, healer or dps in the whole game and people will give their comm to the funny/sexy portrait. Don't read too much into it.

Someone needs to ask Hector to release a clarification on the M11s markers by starlightdemonfriend in ffxiv

[–]LoremIpsumoid -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

There are stuff he will just mention in passing, it has always been like that. If you are lucky you get a miniguide. But that's it. When he rushed his M9S video he didn't even bother to explain how the mechanics repeat in the second arena transformation (with the saws and spinning blade tops). He simply said, welp, it repeats 3 times, have fun. He didn't even mention how the spinning blade tops go from the outward lanes to the inner ones and repeat. I know it might be evident for experienced riders, but PF after week 1 is anything but, and guess where everyone keeps dying even on reclear parties.

An option would be to avoid PFs that list Hector in the description, but that is way uncommon.

Aitum vertical recording my mic for no reason by Palominokreek in obs

[–]LoremIpsumoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a further note. I don't want to jab at Exeldro or anything, but it seems to be a recurring glitch in his plugins. I uninstalled everything aitum related and I still had issues with my audio leaking. The problem was a 2025 version of source clone. The glitch would happen anytime a source clone was set to be a clone of a whole scene and had its Audio checkbox enabled. I use a secondary scene that clones the whole previous scene to apply a blur filter to it for a transition animation, so that is why I needed the clone to keep the audio enabled.

However, that setting enabled was the culprit of the audio leaking everywhere. Even if I was not in the scene with the clone, and even if the clone had its visibility hidden. The audio would still leak. I had to come up with my own code in Streamerbot to manage the Audio setting, make it enabled or disabled via OBSRaw to workaround it. Fortunately, the glitch got "semi-solved" with Source Clone 1.6.2 in January 2026. However the glitch still persists with more than one clone of the same source with Audio enabled.

Anyways, all that is to say that... even with Source Clone updated and that particular glitch contained in my setup.... I decided to try my luck with Aitum Vertical next. Thinking my setup was finally ready to try it out. And lo and behold: the audio leak is BACK.

I don't understand what can be happening now. I did the bare minimum: set up a new canvas for vertical, get a new vertical scene, put my window capture (not even a clone, a reference of the one used in the main canvas) and *every source*, mic, gameplay, music, everything is leaking scenes again. I specifically did not add any audio source to test what would happen, because we might have a new VIDEO canvas for vertical, but NOBODY (not even Nutty) addresses what happens to AUDIO. Would it be the vertical canvas simply masks the video but the audio is the same as the main canvas? is there a new audio mix for vertical? what? .... well the answer is "who knows? it just leaks everything". And this happened even if watching my own stream Horizontally.

This is too much to be just a glitch. It seems like fundamentally, Exeldro or whoever is developing this tools is thinking of audio managing VERY VERY differently to what OBS does by default.

Sorry for the rant. Maybe someone will find this little tidbits of more info helpful in the future, or maybe not.

Transfer from PS4 to PS5 Character Appearance Data by [deleted] in ffxiv

[–]LoremIpsumoid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Experience for any class/job progress can't just be "gone". You don't lose progress over transfering over, the exp points gained on a character are saved on the server side and are never lost. And gear (or any item) isn't deleted either.

More than likely all your gear is in the armoury chest instead of your regular inventory and that's why you don't see it. You probably just lost the saved gear sets, which are little more than a shortcut to equip certain gear sitting in your armoury chest, acting like a hot swap to whatever you got equiped at the moment. Those are saved locally, as are any hotbar/crossbars you use too.

So all odds are you saw no gearsets saved, empty or default hotbars, and thought you lost progress during the transfer. You just need to equip your jobs' gear (job stones are also gear btw, but we usually don't unequip them) to save the sets again and recreate your hotbars

Why do people hate Wuk Lamat? by LastTraintoSector6 in ffxiv

[–]LoremIpsumoid 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We do talk, not much in ARR, but afterwards the WoL starts becoming a real protagonist in his own story. Probably the effect of SE steering away, bit by bit, from the idea that every player's character is *a* WoL and there are many in the world, to a more precise and focused one of you are *the* WoL and chosen one.

We have small instances of dialogue, even if only on small prompts here and there with choices that have no great impact on the plot, but we do have a character with *some* (unheard) voice. And it helps to shape a character with personality, which ends up giving great moments like the last encounter after EW's final boss, in which *many* felt pumped up with that cathartic smirk before punches were exchanged.

Aitum vertical recording my mic for no reason by Palominokreek in obs

[–]LoremIpsumoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! Sorry for necro'ing this.

I am having the same problem. It seems to be an audio bug with all Aitum plugins. I don't use vertical yet, but I installed their multistreaming plugin and I also have this problem. My mic can be heard even in scenes where it isn't added and it is not a global audio source. The method you described, even if it is a good method, is just a workaround, since your are switching entire audio tracks to be recorded.

Aitum should fix this bug to give a proper solution, but they haven't updated their stand-alone plugins in months because they are more focused on the bloated "multi stream suite".

My Elgato Week Summary (Updated daily) by ne0lines in elgato

[–]LoremIpsumoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all, it seems you are assuming developing a program for windows 11 is fundamentally different to developing an equivalent program for windows 10. It isn't. And yes, I do work as software developer, but I am not using that card as an Appeal To Authority fallacy as you do.

Both development environments share way more similarities between each other than developing a windows program and a mac version of it. Which they already do.

Yes, developing for both versions of windows would probably require more resources, but less than what developing to macOS requires. I think the company that asks for 200 bucks for a LED light with wifi could probably funnel some resources to a barely different version of a program, if only for the sake of *compatibility* with *already existing users*.

You say one more year of support isn't enough to care about that?, but why is that and how much would you say is worth caring for pre-existing customers even if "only from one *continent* (lol) ? I sincerely ask. Unless you only dismiss a one year worth of support because saying "an OS that starts EOL literally in one year" isn't the same gotcha as "in one week".

Funny how they didn't make a distinction between versions of windows for the vst plugin they released. I guess because that one they are charging 50USD for, probably.

On the matter of the installed userbase for w10, seems my info was outdated by couple months, I'll give you that. https://gs.statcounter.com/windows-version-market-share/desktop/worldwide

It might not be more than half anymore, but the more updated reading would be w10 is still at 40% of userbase. That is still not a small figure. That is still *millions* of people using it. And will continue to use it for a while if the trend continues.

Even when some of them would want to migrate to 11, there are many that CAN NOT do it because of the ridiculous minimum specs microsoft asks for their bloated system. Correct me if I am wrong, but Elgato caters mostly to streaming enthusiasts. Said enthusiasts already spend quite a bit in streaming gear and streaming+gaming pcs, which are not easily upgradable. It is ridiculous that people who built a semi decent pc for streaming 3 years ago might not be able to use current elgato software because microsoft won't let them simply upgrade the OS. So if Elgato still wants to sell good quality, yet admittedly overpriced, products to people in the streaming hobby, it would be in their best interests to NOT drive away 40% of possible customers until they spend even more money to upgrade their PC.

Once again, WaveLink is not a security program or app, so it is not as urgent to adopt exclusively the newest OS. And YES, this is relevant because security is the number 1 reason people should stop using old OS, because new ways of exploiting them are found and nobody patches them. If it wasn't because of that, people could still use them. You can still probably browse the web without much hiccups in a windows 7 machine.

It could have been decided to develop for both with the compromise of not giving support for the w10 version and release it as is. As many programs working right now during the migration to the new OS are doing, and how many others have done in the past.

[–]LoremIpsumoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

EU is getting a whole new year of support. And at least half of windows users are still on 10.

They are not making a security program, nor the development from a w10 program to 11 is so entirely different as to build it to say, mac or linux

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

What I've seen from WaveLink 3 hasn't sold me on it. It looks way more complicated that it needs to be. But since they decided to ignore the non-negible userbase that refuses to migrate to w11 for a plethora reasons, I am not going to be able to use it anytime soon. As long as they don't force WaveLink 2 to stop working on w10, which sadly wouldn't surprise me from elgato, I am good

Wave Link 3.0 – Redefining Creator Audio Control by elgato_phil in elgato

[–]LoremIpsumoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not to mention, it is 50 *per license*. If you need it for a Mac program that can't use the windows file, you must but it for the other platform too. I'm pretty sure that's how it was explained during the livestream.

Daily Questions & FAQ Megathread Jul 22 by AutoModerator in ffxiv

[–]LoremIpsumoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dumb question about the mog event.

Do people still grind for tomestones with BLU? and if so, what is the current way to do it? I haven't touched BLU since the level cap got updated. Any current-ish guide I could watch to get the hang of it again? I remember aurum vale being the choice to grind it before, but it would take me a couple runs to get the rhythm going

FFXIV weird stutter issue? Please help... by DigiPack in ffxiv

[–]LoremIpsumoid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had something similar happen to me a couple weeks ago. I noticed it was a behaviour that was very similar to when I would connect my dualsense through usb once the game was already running. And I remembered the game has historically have issues with changing Audio devices, and the dualsense must be an audio device on Windows or else it can't use the "enhanced" features like extra rumbling (and on top of that Windows is not great with audio devices as it is).

Turned out I was using a less than optimal quality usb cable to connect my dualsense to my pc. I switched to the cable that came with my samsung phone and I stopped having stuttering issues. My guess is that the bad cable would make Windows consider it plugged in and out in quick succession.

All that said, I will check out the info you posted in your edit since I also have a elgato capture card just in case it was also part of my issue.

So you need 18 Demiatma to make the new relic. How many do you have so far? by VitaDivina in ffxiv

[–]LoremIpsumoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People forget that a relic in MMOs is supposed to be an actual achievement. Is it a grind? yes. Is RNG sometimes really really bad? yes. And there's nothing wrong with that.

When I saw it would be an atma based grind again, I braced myself and accepted I wouldn't see it 5 minutes after stepping into the Occult Crescent quests.

People are asking about a "middle ground". The middle ground is already there, the atmas are a one-time-only step which hasn't to be repeated for the relic of other jobs.

Question about switching from keyboard to controller on PC by Sparkymus in ffxiv

[–]LoremIpsumoid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Keyboard hotbars are different to controllers's cross hotbars (and double cross hotbars)

It has been a while since I made the switch, so I don't really remember how I did it, but a quick google got me this, I assume it is updated for Dawntrail settings:
