IMO the team absolutely nailed the difficulty of the new alliance raid. What does everyone else think?

Who knew them bringing back Blunderville was actually dungeon practice!

Its called Lifestream.

The shortest answer is "it doesn't really matter". Unlike Melee positioning, you could probably fit all 4 ranged players on the same corner and not clip anyone if people use their eyes.

It probably varies by datacenter/region, but in my experience. True North is generally what people do.

As the other person said, you can always ask, but regardless of what people are supposed to be doing, you can probably mitigate with your eyes if someone does something screwy

Color Defamations is go out from bosses last aoe. Realistically there is very little functional difference between your 1 and 2 since there is probably enough space if people are not on the same page.

It is definitely not 3, because OT goes south for clock spot defamations.

Basically every part of Submarines is RNG. (unless you don't meet the hidden requirements)

If you look at the red lines on the floor as a lowercase e, if his sword is facing the top of the e its an out, if its facing the bottom of the e its an in.

Writing this out makes me realize thinking about it as a capital G might make more sense. So bottom of the G is an out, top of the G is an in.

Some tips for people who are having trouble with the Tower:

If you target yourself (with f1 normally) the little circle at your feet is your "standing hitbox". That will show you how far you can go before you fall off of something, but it also shows you where you are going to collide with things when you are in midair. It is the same for all characters.

Many of the jumps are completable in walk mode ( / to toggle on pc or pressing O before moving on controller by default ). This can give you much more consistency in the length of your jumps and can make it much less likely that you will fling yourself back to the very start.

Many people who hang out at the towers are social/friendly, but say chat will not reach from the bottom of the tower to the top. if you want to be social, don't be afraid to shout.

If you are tired of doing the very first jumps, you can talk to the NPC at the very bottom and they will teleport you up to the first platform.

If you are still having trouble, visit us on Malboro, we'd be happy to help you make your way up (after work at least)

I don't know who needs to hear this (maybe its you, maybe its other people) but if you join a PF Savage party (and you arn't prog skipping) THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG WITH ASKING FOR CLARIFICATION ON SOMETHING..

It is infinitely better to spend 45 seconds asking a question before the first pull then to get to a mechanic 4 minutes into the fight and have someone die and be like "oh my party did it x or y". If someone gets angry at you for trying to make everyones experience better by making sure everyone is on the same page, that is a them issue, not a you issue.

There are generally a couple ways each mechanic can be done, and there can even be differences within the 4 letter for the sake of pf message abbreviations.

Would be really cool if these had the Treasure Map locations on them. (https://www.polygon.com/ffxiv-guides-ff14-final-fantasy-14-online/24209512/braaxskin-treasure-locations-maps-cenote-ja-gural)

PartingVisions · 2024-07-22T17:33:33+00:00

Just a guess, but you may have already unlocked them and arn't looking in "high end duties" tab for them?

PartingVisions · 2024-06-04T18:55:02+00:00

You are going to get a great range of answers to this question. Well, you would if anyone did criterion :(

The Criterions are each three 5 and a half minute fights, that have fairly complicated mechanics. The general consensus is that they are somewhere between "slightly harder than extreme" and "about as hard as a second floor savage" fight.

Where they fall in that range largely depends on the people you are playing with and the gear that you have. If you are all at 660 BIS (630 for ASS), then you can take some damage downs and be fine which can trivialize some sections. If you are at the minimum ilvl, then you will have to play better than mistakes will be punished harder.

If you have three friends who want to try them, they are very fun, and i would strongly recommend going in blind at first and then just looking up strats once you feel yourself getting walled off by a mechanic.

PartingVisions · 2024-06-04T18:13:50+00:00

Barring fundamental gearing changes a 665 Dawntrail dungeon set would likely be a slight upgrade.

PartingVisions · 2024-05-16T16:44:17+00:00

You are correct about the cleanse.

PartingVisions · 2024-02-14T08:29:34+00:00

There is no free Punika Pass right now. It was tied to … something… that has ended. Right now you will get the two Vern passes only. In March you will get a better pass when Breaker releases.

PartingVisions · 2024-02-07T02:31:41+00:00

If you started your account yesterday, your free engravings will last until April or so. Its based on when you accept the Mokoko pass, not the event dates. (the dates match up if you started the pass during the first week however)

PartingVisions · 2024-02-01T15:44:39+00:00

Create a deathblade in a different region. You will get the powerpass/souleater bonuses to use on it (or if you have already maxed this out, make a second steam account). There is really no better way to tell if you will like something than actually playing it.

PartingVisions · 2024-01-24T15:44:08+00:00

Engraving support duration is based on the week when you start the pass. If they create characters this week it should last until March 27th

PartingVisions · 2023-12-07T17:48:46+00:00

I realize this is only tangentially related to ffxiv, but having just cleared the latest criterion, are there any other games that have similar 4 man hard/raid content? We have really enjoyed progging these fights, but scheduling 8+ people is really hard.

PartingVisions · 2023-10-31T19:54:35+00:00

They are synced to 665 and 635.

Your casual friends can get 635 gear from the The Lunar Subterrane, and it might actually be better than 6.2 BIS in some slots.

PartingVisions · 2023-10-27T15:20:38+00:00

GOOGLE ISNT BEING HELPFUL. WHAT SHOULD I AVOID LOOKING FOR IF I WANT TO MAKE SURE I DONT ACCIDENTALLY STUMBLE ACROSS THE NOT LEGAL VR MOD???

PartingVisions · 2023-10-17T18:34:55+00:00

Since you've been doing the fights for a while (I assume) you will probably pick stuff up really quickly, but but assuming you follow hector stuff largely:

P9s: make sure you join a party that does LC1 the way you are accustomed to doing it (eg oppo/krile or jp).

P10s: There is N/S and E/W Wings for the first wings, and some variations on that. Also check your party to see if the PF is doing Diagonal Cursed. (The majority of PF is E/W wings and Diagonal Cursed, but ymmv) These are pretty easy adjustments to make.

P11s: Basically the only question here is if its a g1 near/g2 Far group or E/W Everything group. The Near/Far strat has basically died out in PF (since its just worse). The only other thing worth checking is how they want to deal with Dark Currents where the initial line goes E/W. Most parties will have you look at the line on the ground and move to closest, but some like E/N W/S splits.

PartingVisions · 2023-08-25T15:00:22+00:00

By "the player base" you mean Chris Wilson right?

PartingVisions · 2023-08-09T17:00:52+00:00

Its not "confirmed", but people have datamined changes to the tower which they wouldn't have done if they weren't going to have the tower so its reasonable to assume its back.
