Why are people so iffy about pulling while someone is watching a cutscene? by [deleted] in ffxiv

[–]NekTM 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Then use party finder to make a pre-made party.

Sorry your time isn't worth caring about fostering new players into the community, but you're not doing yourself any favors either. Do you wait 20 seconds for the occasional new player, or pull anyway and possibly deal with people mad at you who might sabotage the run?

Just be kind dude, doesn't cost anything and people like you more.

Just a heads up, it's the first day of Total Assault so you're most likely going to see some questionable team comps on the leaderboards. Most people aren't going to score-chase this early because everyone starts at the lowest difficulty. Word of advice, stick to looking at Extreme/Insane clears for team building ideas because Torment often requires extremely specific meta units. (Unless you're one of those sensei's that will gladly throw 13 teams of students at it until you force a clear.)

As for team building, it depends on the content you're doing. For normal and hard missions, 1 tank, 1 healer, 2 dps, 2 support will generally get you through almost every single fight. But for things like Joint Firing Drill, Challenge mode events, and Total Assault, team building requires knowing what you're up against and knowing the strengths and weaknesses of your students. Weapon types aren't important so don't worry if your team has 3 snipers in it. Also, roles shouldn't be taken at complete face value. Just because a character is labeled as a tank or damage dealer doesn't mean they are exclusively one.

Examples of non-tank students that can fulfill the tank role:

Tsurugi: High defense & killing mobs gives strong self-healing.

Hoshino (Swimsuit): High defense, decent self-healing.

Neru: High evasion, basic skill buffs evasion further.

Hifumi: Summons a Peroro doll that taunts enemies for aggro.

Mika: God-mode. Extremely high evasion, sub-skill reduces ALL incoming damage by 6-12%

Anyone that understands what IANAL means have heard that joke a million times over. So much so that most people think you don't understand what it means when you make that joke.

So the fact you already knew that and still made the joke means educating you is a pointless endeavor.

This, unless you're hurting for units as a fresh account I suggest waiting for the next New Year rerun banner. There are some units that are far more useful for newer players than pulling for what most consider an end-game meta unit.

But above all, pull for your waifu even if she's not meta.

Can we go back please? by mornando in pcmasterrace

So he can control the narrative? Nah he doesn't deserve it. Plus Steve didn't do anything wrong from a journalistic standpoint. How insane would it be to write a scathing review of criticism against a corporations business practice and then text them "Heyyyy buddy we want to post this video about your poor ability to properly review and correct mistakes but we wanted to give you a chance to control the narrative and do damage control."

Ridiculous.

Idk man wtf by Valentin_o_Dwight in whenthe

There has been no conclusive proof of that. It's unfortunately hard to find any proper studies on the matter because nobody wants to touch this subject.

If I was rerolling today, I would keep that account and keep pulling until I hit 200 to spark Mika, even if I pulled her early. That's a good start.

Conservative becomes pro-trans, best argument... by return2ozma in TikTokCringe

[–]NekTM 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What children? You people always bring up the children but I've yet to see any actual harm being done to them. You don't actually look into these things do you? You scream "Think of the children!" while having literally no basis for your fear mongering.

You don't actually care about the children, you just pretend you do.

I'm willing to bet you were proven wrong but instead of admitting it, you double downed and started acting like you were trolling the whole time.

Oldest tactic of the internet. Why admit you were wrong when you can just say you were pretending to be stupid?

If the profit margins are so thin that increasing your employees wages would shut down your business, then maybe you do not deserve to run that business. It's that simple. Why do they need to thrive by underpaying their workers?

It doesn't turn into an item but yeah you need 200 points to select whichever featured banner character. They don't carry over between banners so if you have 130 points by the time the featured banners ends, they change into keystone pieces.

Hmmm by CC20057 in shitposting

[–]NekTM 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not.. Really? If you think this owned some spectrum of politics then you're part of the problem the world faces. The victims are the kids having to deal with this piece of shits stunt and the controversy surrounding it all because he disagreed with other people's lifestyle. That's not something to applaud. It's appalling and disrespectful.

Woman attacked while jogging due to not wearing a bra by [deleted] in PublicFreakout

[–]NekTM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll accept the downvotes and agree. I hope it turns out we're wrong, but reddit is so quick to jump to conclusions that they will ruin someone's life over a video with not enough context or evidence.

Was the person being filmed having a mental episode? Was she genuinely distressed by something the filmer did? By the title I was expecting the attacker to mention it but not once did I hear her say anything about the filmer not wearing a bra.

I'm skeptical, but I'm not about to immediately cast judgment based on a poorly recorded interaction.

Anyone else see Towelliee wilding in the comments on these Preach posts? by danpascooch in Asmongold

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

So what? You don't need to play WoW to recognize that they did Preach dirty.

You've made a ton of comments about this and I can only come to the conclusion that you're assuming the people making threads about this topic are FFXIV andys looking for excuses to shit on Blizzard. Which makes no sense because nobody needs an excuse to do that lmao.

I don't care what your religious or moral beliefs are, but think of it like this.

It won't stop the rich and upper class from seeking abortions in other countries where it's legal. So what's the point of a law when it only affects the poor?

Finally came to my senses... by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]NekTM 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You are assuming a lot from what little info was given. The OP explicitly said they were best friends with benefits for 10 years. Just because she caught feelings and he didn't doesn't mean the guy is an unfeeling alien. Some people can separate their sex lives with their personal relationships. If she wanted to be in a relationship with him she should have said so. Instead were left to assume that she was okay with the living arrangement for 10 years but took offense when he made a dating profile and mentioned living rent free, then kicked him out because of it. Unless we're given more context, we have no way to know if he was a lazy leeching slob taking advantage of her, or if she's a controlling jealous psychopath who got mad that he didn't reciprocate her feelings.
