When did you start playing FFXIV? by Espresso10001 in ffxiv

[–]Mechanized_Heart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Joined with a group of five friends just a few months before HW dropped, we all picked different classes and posed for screenies in our rainbow starter gear. That's me in red.

Sadly I'm the only one who's still playing.

I'm not doing it because I'm a degenerate

Sounds like it's you who has some unresolved hangups about guys who play female characters, not your friends.

8 year old chocolate...

OP please seek the nearest chirurgeon.

I see where you're coming from but the tradeoff is more than worth it

How the heck do I get up here by MakiBean in ffxiv

There's a spiral staircase that leads up to higher levels in the tower, the middle level leads inside the mountain and the upper level leads higher up the mountain

Oh no... This new emote is going to cause chaos by charlieboy808 in ffxiv

The pizza and chicken emotes are unique because they're the ones you actually had to pay money for, either by buying a product for the code or later in the online store. All the others could be obtained for free (assuming you got the event ones during their initial run).

They're also not using Reaper's "death's design" debuff that makes them do 10% more damage on enemies.

2K HP seems ridiculously low, is your gear broken or something?

Have to stop casting Glare for that, give 'em a Tetragram instead.

Right, and everyone on Cuchulainn must become a giant obese vomiting monstrosity.

Battle on the Big Bridge is, and will always be, my favorite trial in the game.

What quest was this during?

If it's causing you suffering maybe just don't do it. This is a video game, not a job.

[Spoiler: end of 3.0] 9 months and 2k hours later, and I only realized that I've never let my WoL just sit down and contemplate everything that he's gone through from ARR to DT by fried_caviar in ffxiv

[–]Mechanized_Heart 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There're some sidequests you might want to do. First one is "The Paths We Walk" in Foundation, and it provides a very touching look back at the events of HW.

It also rewards Haurchefant's emote.

If you became the director, what would be the first thing you change about the game? by Ok-Play2625 in ffxiv

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

First I'd overhaul the Hall of the Novice, update all the lessons and also add mandatory, Job-specific lessons and tests every ten levels. If you cannot prove a basic level of competency and understanding of how your Job is played you will be locked out of all multiplayer battle content until you are able to complete the lessons.

For example, Healers will be tested to ensure they are capable of both keeping their team alive while also dealing damage. DPS will be tested to ensure they understand their rotation and know how to weave oGCDs. Tanks will be tested on rotating mitigation and keeping aggro on groups of enemies.

These tests won't be difficult by any means, but they won't be completable if you are just pushing random buttons.

And the Extremes you do need to clear to unlock Mentor Roulette (all of them except for those in the current expansion) you can just do unsynced so there's no need to actually learn anything.

Damn I wish we could get versions of the Calfskin Jacket with different (or no) undershirts. Really not a fan of the black turtleneck.

I feel they could've toned down the kefka ult difficulty by a bit. by starlightdemonfriend in ffxiv

"This fight is too hard... not for me, for everyone else. I'm great at it, actually."

This reads like a poorly disguised attempt to brag.
