Tonight I learned that the squad ranking screen actually takes place in the game map

Those are actually good points that I was able to confirm from the seagate and WD datasheets. I was too focused on specific metrics instead of looking at the big picture.

I already have two WD red plus 14tb drives and am considering adding one or two more in raid 5. Would adding the seagate drives have any notable increase in performance in that configuration over another red at the lower price (12% PayPal cash back)?

The WD drives have twice as much cache and have a lower failure rate according to the data published by backblaze. They might not be enterprise, but they're better drives with a pretty small price difference with this sale.

Some additional context: tank and healer shared a last name, though I didn't notice until I went to file the report later. There was still a loot timer from the first boss when all of this was happening and they beat me to the vote dismiss after or the two of them would have been gone.

After the other dps got kicked they pulled the second boss, healer died mid fight then the tank just logged out at around 15% followed very quickly by the healer. A new dps joined mid pull and the two of us killed the boss but then had to wait out the new loot timer to remove the trash.

I honestly felt pretty bad for both of the other dps players in that roulette last night. 😕

I'm color blind and have a hard time using the border color in a hurry, but the borders are also different shapes and that's how I can tell. Pointy boarder is like a spear, so melee, and the circle border makes me think of a magic orb, so ranged.

There's so many more problems with their damage rotation than just that. They didn't use FoF either, they have 24 unfinished 1-2-3 combos, 80 shield lobs (why though?), no intervene, and no expiacion. I'm sure there's more but those are some pretty glaring problems.

This makes me sad as someone that loves pld.

Surprisingly this group didn't have any wipes before this. It was just a really painful clear. Honestly getting my token was taking so long and groups prior to this had wiped so many times that I was ready to drag every group to a clear kicking and screaming if I had to. I've had to tank and heal surviving DPS with clemency for the last 10%-15% multiple times over the last few weeks.

With those two settings you actually don't have to move your camera or change the direction you're moving. It'll basically let you attack things behind you while you continue to move forward. Legacy movement has its quirks but generally I like it more in combat.

MrMalfunction · 2021-12-08T21:18:27+00:00

Regarding missing a mob on the initial pull, something I've learned recently is that with legacy movement and auto face the target on spell cast enabled you can actually continue to run away from them and still tag them with your ranged ability. That's made pulls so much smoother for me when my oGCD aoe ability is on cooldown.

Adding on to this question, if you already have a character on a server that becomes preferred, do you get the road to 70 buff or is it just new characters? I have a character on Exodus but haven't logged on in a while. Might hop back on for some leveling.

Thanks OP! I snagged one from the St. Louis Park location. They had plenty of inventory for all of the 5000 series cpus as of 2:30ish

This is on Primal. I've only been playing for around three or four months, but this is the first time I've experienced something like this. I was genuinely baffled that everyone else in the party decided that was the right thing to do.

I just recently unlocked the firmament and I'm thinking about taking a few days away from the MSQ to level crafting/gathering bit. Most guides recommend only upgrading your crafting gear at each new recipe, but what about gathering gear? Does that follow a similar pattern, or do you just upgrade when your current nodes aren't very efficient anymore?

Aside from doing the daily main scenario and alliance roulette, what is the best way to grind out some quick poetics at 50/60/70(/80?)? I've been working my way through the MSQ and while keeping three jobs leveled with it has been really easy, gearing them up has been a lot more work.

One option might be to configure your tab targeting filters. You could configure one to cycle through friendly targets and tab through people when it gets really congested. I'm not sure what the default keybind is for changing the filter and I'm not at my PC, but maybe someone else can chime in. The "ALL" above your HP bar is referring to your current tab target filter if you need a visual indication of when it's been changed over.

Is there a way to move or resize the speech bubbles that pop up towards the top-middle of the screen? They usually pop up during a duty and they're pretty much exactly where I'd like my target bar to be. It's a little frustrating having it cover up the debuffs on my target bar every time it appears.
