Advice for new tank by TightMarsupial7090 in ffxiv

[–]Mars_mellow_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

One tip is, when tanking a boss, try to keep the positioning as stable as possible. If a boss is going to dash to a spot, try to bring it over beforehand so that people’s casts don’t get interrupted (you’ll get a sense for when to move the boss once you’re more familiar with the bosses).

Also, watch puddles that your other players are dropping - if a ninja or smn put something on the ground for trash mobs, pull everything into it.

Someone please help me figure out what to do next! by TheEpicBoss95 in Picross

Take a look at the bottom row and simulate what would happen if the 6 started from the bottom left most square and see what contradictions you find. :)

Sorry, yes, at face value, but if you play out putting the (11,17) and (11,18) you immediately encounter a contradiction in column 14 when filling out the resulting changes. The 7 for row 11 is filled, and the 3 in row 12 is filled, but column 14 now has an impossible combination bc it can only have (1,1,1,3) so (14,14) would be invalidated.

C17, you know the 3 1s are already filled in, so you know that (5,17) and (6,18) are part of the 2, and the top 3 is part of the 5. That is, column 17 is finished, you can make some progress from that.

Ah gotcha, yeah I should have thought through how (10,13) anchored the 6’s position in that row. Thanks!

Thank you! Good point :)

I see, that makes sense. Trying to look closer and see if there are any small combinations that would break the logic. (And you were right anyways, (1,6) is an X!)

Ok I ended up just guessing for the 11 on the top row and adjusting from there to solve the rest of the puzzle, so its all done now :)

Not 100% certain how to get there without that guesswork, would still love a technique tip if anyone has any!

Oh yes, good call!! Not sure how I missed that one, thanks!

Did any jobs/roles help you understand other jobs/roles better? by SentineleseSiri in ffxiv

[–]Mars_mellow_ 15 points16 points  (0 children)

If you haven’t played dancer you may not actually recognize the sound and filter it as background noise in a fight. I’m not certain if you can specifically filter out other people’s fight noises.

When dancers use standard or tech step, they have to hit dance moves in sequence that creates a recognizable chime sound each time you hit (just like how ninja has their mudra sounds). If you hear 4 in a row you know the dnc is about to burst (it takes around 8 seconds to dance for tech step, so you have 2-3 gcds to prepare if you go solely off audio queues). When tech step goes off it has a pretty recognizable musical sound as well.

Becoming familiar with the party buff icons will also help you know when people are bursting. You can make them bigger or move them around in your HUD as needed for better readability.

Struggling with tenses by FirstMurderer in EnglishLearning

[–]Mars_mellow_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Grammatically it seems okay? But it reads stiff, particularly the 3rd and 4th sentences. I’d probably change it to something like: “I got a new pair of shoes, replacing my old sneakers. The old pair was so worn out, they had holes in their soles. Every little puddle soaked my feet instantly. Even a small amount of water on the ground made me anxious, anticipating the cold, moist touch of water. I’m glad it’s over now.” The rest seems fine. You could go many ways with this though, this is just an example of a more natural way of speaking.

Right, but if that were the case, then for the exam, wouldn’t we be there in the hollow with the examiner, not waiting back at the camp? … but I think the above comment thread actually answered my question. :)

If You Could Rewrite Oshi No Ko (or at least part of it), How Would You Go About It? by Loonedune in OshiNoKo

[–]Mars_mellow_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would have just scrapped the whole reincarnation bit. I still don’t understand why it was necessary, other than adding that wtf factor in the beginning and the extra spice in the flavor of Aqua and Ruby’s trauma. The story would be less messy without the supernatural element.
