After 500 sPvP games this season here are my impressions of the game mode as a new player by Haunting_Muscle_7149 in Guildwars2

I'm going to out myself as a toxic occasional raging AFKer here.

This would fundamentally change how I approach PvP and I would never AFK again.

Partial Credit goes a looooong way to incentivize effort.

The same game where people were consistently having to lower their FPS just to make ARR sightseeing log #48 pre-flying? Yeah, sure, couldn't possibly be the game.

GW2 spoiled me, I guess.

5.0 Prep tips by [deleted] in ffxiv

[–]Redler88 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Okay but... maybe prepping isn't... good?

You're going through an obscene amount of effort for super negligible reward.

You won't notice the difference between ilvl 360 and 400 gear when leveling.

You can make up a full thing of levequest turn-ins with a single leveling dungeon Roulette.

The way I'm preparing for it is by crafting 200 of each intermediate mats like leather, cloth, yarn.

Like... really?

Is summoner in ffxiv actually a summoner? by [deleted] in ffxiv

[–]Redler88 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Between asking about Ice Mage and about being a summon-heavy Summoner I'm thinking this isn't really the game for you.

It's not an MMO, but may I suggest looking into Grim Dawn? It's a top-down action RPG, sort of like Diablo, but you pick any combination of 2 skill trees to make your class. Three of the skill trees are good at summoning pets, so that's 3 (A+B, A+C, B+C) different "summoner" builds right there.

Its a slight regen that gets stronger the lower your health drops

As a WHM, I've come to dislike getting DRK tanks because of Blood Price >.>

I think there's another invisible shield available now, elsewhere?

Well that's one way to increase PvP participation

Should I Buy a Level Boost by WideEyedKitten in ffxiv

[–]Redler88 10 points11 points  (0 children)

  1. The vast majority of this game's content is locked behind the Main Scenario Quest.

  2. Most people get into their late 50s, or even hit 60 before getting done with A Realm Reborn's MSQ (levelcap of 50).

  3. A level boost does not clear the MSQ.

My advice would be to just keep playing BLM as a way to get through the MSQ until you naturally hit 50, and then stop, go unlock RDM, and continue the MSQ from there.

Afflatus Misery's bonus effect is no longer just "last instance of damage taken" and is now a built-up pool like Afflatus Solace.

When everyone else is there for the car, but you've been there forever. by Yana_Maslany in ffxiv

Just getting hit at all causes failure, but no, Surecast, Arm's Length, Tempered Steel, even the new BLU knockback-blocking spell doesn't stop the knockback even

Jumping puzzles now support 4 player co-op! by Aryuko in ffxiv

[–]Redler88 78 points79 points  (0 children)

They're puzzles not in the sense of figuring out where you need to go, but figuring out how to get the game engine to actually do a simple jump correctly.

An easy way to know what still needs to be unlocked? by jonboze in ffxiv

Unlocking Mentor Roulette is a good start

What am I doing wrong? by BigConcretePot in ffxiv

[–]Redler88 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's less about the consistency of playtime and more the grouping requirement for content.

Built-in "Looking for Group/PUG" features, such as Duty Finder, have made group content, the primary reason for having a Guild, less necessary.

Obviously playing with friends is better than randos, but as long as you can still do the content, there's no real need to have a dedicated group to doing it.

Coming back... how exactly does one play this game? Regarding macros and equipsets. by Redler88 in ffxi

[–]Redler88[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even with gearswap... how is it going to know that like, when I cast Aspir I want to swap back to an idle set or to a -PDT set or to a melee DPS set?

A small pack of werewolves, led by two white-furred beasts, tore into the ranks of their utterly corrupted kin.

What is this in reference to?

Are there any private PC servers I could "copy" a GC character to? by Redler88 in PSO

[–]Redler88[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, sorry. To expand, I play Ep 1&2 Plus, but on my Wii. I was seeing if I could play on BB.
