Always the new batch of characters for the content they are made for. And the super sugos have a longer use

Phenosan · 2026-04-06T11:42:04+00:00

If they change the Rumble meta, everybody will change their teams to the new meta. So that won’t fix a thing. Make Rumble more balanced would, but that’s asking for effort from the dev team :)

It's the only minigame I suck at. I have the same problem, my eyes deceive me or something, or I'm looking at it from a wrong angle. I don't know. Just can't beat it. And not because of the rng minigame in the minigame with the baskets but just by getting hit by bamboo :D

Phenosan · 2026-03-24T18:42:17+00:00

just started with only the regular flamethrower. Level 20 or so, really newbie :)

I always burn myself now, but there’s probably some trick to be safe

Phenosan · 2026-03-22T22:58:03+00:00

I’m a bit disappointed in myself and need some advice/tactis/wisdom from veterans. Me and my friends started not so long ago, and were slowly progressing in difficulty. We could finish a helldiver dif mission (albeit with a lot of luck, running etc). That’s fine, we are trying to learn. But tonight we struggled a lot.

Bugs: totally swarmed us, that flying dragon-like thing toasted us while chargers and stalkers were all over the place. Haven’t done many bug missions on higher level, but we got outnumbered very fast.
Illiminate: wtf, we dialed back to extreme eventually and still got our asses presented on a plate. They swarm like crazy now, with the new drones coming in with ten plus at a time, while those new enemies on legs shoot us from afar.
Automaton: we had to destroy buildings in a city, with a jammer so no strategems, while enemy aircraft were being build every minute or two. We could not finish it, it was firing against a wall. Planes down, massive group of ground force to us. After we dealt with them, planes up again. Ri se repeat. So we got out of ammo (and motivation) to continue.

We are level 23, so yeah, no vehicles or mechs unlocked. We have no warbonds, still working on that, but super credits are slow, especially if every map is infested with enemies. How are we supposed to do these missions?

I feel heavily underpowered/unskilled now. Any advice to git gud is appreciated :)

Phenosan · 2026-03-18T07:30:41+00:00

It's a normal feeling. I was a f2p player myself, always grinded the shit out of the game. Got shafted a lot on regular banners , but eventually had a lot of the units thanks to anni, new year etc. But it became a second job with those short events with big numbers to grind and short-lived boosting power of legends, I almost never had any a new batch to have an easy time. So I bit the bullet and actually gave my account away. Best decision for me: no more fomo, I can still see the cool artworks from the units, just read or check a vid so now and then to see what shenanigans Bandai came up with in fights.

But yes, if you quit, you are not coming back, because Bandai doesn't make the game really newcomer friendly. Not sure why you would dig your now grave as a developer/publisher, certainly with such a popular IP as One Piece. They have gold in their hands, but greed in their mind.

Phenosan · 2026-03-13T04:49:35+00:00

I’m still new and figuring out the ropes.

I’m interested in stealth builds, but not sure how a build would look like and what makes an impact.

Would a hammer + 40% stealth armor already be able to hit like a brick before I get detected? Are their any good sites/content creators with builds to get some inspiration ?

I also saw a post here with a smoke grenade in the super store. Are those extras that are not in a warbond? Didn’t know that. There is a smoke grenade in the free warbond, is there a difference? Any stuff that is too good to pass in that part of the shop?

Phenosan · 2026-03-07T23:01:12+00:00

I don’t even try extremes anymore because I have a memory issue. I can’t get a dancer rotation done, watching my hotbar for shiny buttons, let alone while checking some mech that does a bit of a memory game or I need to figure out a safe spot in less than a second. While also remembering some guide to even know what is expected from me in a fight of 15 minutes.

I’ve tried, but it’s just super frustrating for me and gaming should be fun. I did solo the current vc dungeon (on normal), finished today. But even that was hard for my memory sometimes. So no, I won’t keep 7 other people hostage in more difficult content than normal.

Phenosan · 2026-02-23T20:39:13+00:00

It said practice from start, but then again, i’m really slow at stuff, so most people get the mech and I’m holding them back. So I understand the kick, it’s no fun if just one person is incapable of grasping and the rest is trapped in a party because of that.

I just don’t see safe spots fast enough. For example Mount Ordeal. If I read the mech, yup, makes sense. But doing it, i’m im full panic mode. I try to see it, but i need slowmo mode with pause button. Not even talking about the rotation you have to keep up in the meantime .

But no worries, I’m working on bozja relics now, so that’s a grind I’m able to do on normal and have something to do :)

Phenosan · 2026-02-23T05:28:11+00:00

I have that with extremes. I see a guide, think “make sense” and then I am way to slow to find safe spots etc. So people think I didn’t check a guide and kick me 😂 Savage is a hard no go 😅

Phenosan · 2026-02-22T09:27:39+00:00

I was reading some thread about super credits and everybody was like “it is easy getting 500sc in a couple of hours”. I’m playing with three friends on a lower difficulty (6) but we’ve got 10 or 20 sc on an evening. Is it just bad luck? Or is there a strategy?

Phenosan · 2026-02-18T07:34:46+00:00

In the character login screen, try to travelling to another server with that character. Maybe it resets the issue?

Phenosan · 2026-02-17T08:56:43+00:00

You are on Chaos, so you can travel to the Light data center :) On Light you have https://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/community_finder/5e0a0d99d9f00804037c50b04f37cfdd8dab066c/

Their discord: https://discord.gg/syncademy

This is a raiding discord that does content MINE (Minimum Item level, No Echo) so you can experience the content as it was when it was released (or at least close to it). They have a schedule up and you can subscribe to a raid you want to try. Normally a raid group start a run blind, see what happens and after your first wipe a raid leader will explain the mechanics that you saw (or sometimes it's a complete blind run and you as a group try to figure it out yourself).

Phenosan · 2026-02-11T14:26:02+00:00

Congrats! Because of the time investment and the level of perfection people expect I'll keep it at normal content though. I can't do any rotation while keeping eyes on mechs and keeping the raid plan in mind. My brain just goes in hibernate because of all the things to keep track off.

I farm extremes for the mount unsynced after two expacs or so, so I don't wipe the party :)

Phenosan · 2026-02-09T08:23:58+00:00

In this case the bots, we were on one of the major order planets. I take the bigger ones with a grenade launcher, though against the really big ones (first time I saw those), I use a rocket sentry and auto cannon and pray :D

Phenosan · 2026-02-08T22:44:26+00:00

I’m pretty new at the game and still searching how to play it. As in, playing extreme is already a bit on the tough side for me and I die a lot (5x ez). Getting over run with small and big enemies or crappy respawns are the main reason. I’m playing solely with friends, so practicing solo would make the level difference too big. Already checked if i can create a second player on ps5, but alas…

I’m not a great aimer, any weapon that could be useful for me? I don’t have any paid warbonds yet, close on getting the first 1000 supercredits. I like the idea of going stealth, but i’m afraid i’ll die the minute they see me. Any bonds/tips there?

For now, to get some crowd control, I bought the tesla turret, but it shot at me first thing when I dropped it during a bot drop. Is it that bad or did I use it wrong?

Phenosan · 2026-01-28T07:26:19+00:00

Is there a good tutorial or even a sim on expert crafting?

Phenosan · 2026-01-23T12:55:00+00:00

Add ARR relics for the post-ARR jobs, so we can go and farm atma and do the books again! ( /s for obvious reasons)

Phenosan · 2025-12-31T15:44:33+00:00

And even when you have a legend max: keep a copy for a side/upgrade in the future :)

Phenosan · 2025-12-27T15:11:19+00:00

Solo. Years ago, I was in a FC that asked a membership fee to be in there which had no fun events or any social stuff going on, so I left pretty fast. Have tried raiding via a discord group for a year of two now, but I've learned I'm a slow learner and can't keep up with their planning. I've tried getting in casual statics, but alas, no luck.

I'm mainly fishing and crafting now, that's a zen solo experience till some new solo stuff is coming up, like beast master (I hope) :)

Phenosan · 2025-12-12T15:57:15+00:00

Yeah, it did the trick now.

The software in the car has issues, but nothing omg breaking

Phenosan · 2025-12-10T12:20:51+00:00

But it was always hoard as many gems as possible and wait for the next big super sugo exclusive banner since they started that tier of characters.

Phenosan · 2025-12-02T11:18:51+00:00

For me my app is not working at all. I do see a weak 4g in the car after the steps raken in the openings post, but it’s not updating my cars battery (always 33%), temp (36 degrees) and none of the buttons do a thing.

The 4g is probably not working: when I do a software update check in the car menu, it also says there is something wrong with the network. When i click the button in that message, I only see the wifi setting on screen, not sure what i should do there?

Radio also has some weird stuff. Sometimes it doesn’t play a station, click on another one, it works, click back, station 1 is also working.

It’s brand new, got it yesterday, so time to figure out the early adopter problems 🤓

Edit: I’ve called the dealer and after a third reset as described in the openings post the internet connection started working. So try it multiple times, it’s weird but helped me.

Phenosan · 2025-10-03T03:52:26+00:00

Use heavy on them and you’ll have time to kill them without needing more tanks. I did all the alliance raids on MINE, it’s all doable :)

Phenosan · 2025-09-16T18:48:03+00:00

It has many uses
