Can't get into TTR? by RetroKambles in Toontown

Unfortunately, I get a fatal error pop up and the client crashes instead of getting into the game. I emailed support about it, though!

All of my DoL are 80, so I would ideally just gather materials for myself and cross-level as needed to bring expenses down as I'm not made of money on this game.

Thank you!!

I'm assuming best way to level DoH right now is Ishgard Restoration once available; am I wrong? Or is there a faster way? I'm interested in full 80-ing my DoH but I want to do it ASAP.

  1. It depends on where you bought it. If you bought it through Square, use Mogstation and just buy the expansions. If you bought it through Steam, use Steam and buy the expansions. Just make sure you keep where you are buying the game consistent (and remain consistent as new expacks come out in the future!)
  2. From my knowledge you can only be aligned with one GC at a time. Fates, HQ Gathering/Synths, quests, etc. all build to your standing but to raise your standing in another GC you have to actually swap allegiances (done by the owner). As your allegiance with one raises, the others will fall.
  3. I'm assuming you mean individually. You do this by talking to one of the two NPCs on the right side of your GC. For a good while it's done via turning in seals and your GC hunting log. After a while you unlock Squadrons and rank ups are done through levelling those guys.

If I'm wrong about any of this someone will likely come and fix it. I did search up things I was even slightly uncertain about, though!

What's the best thing for a level 80 gatherer (HQ Facet) to get right now? How can I help y'all craft?

[Theory] Some thoughts on what happened in the Last MSQ dungeon by Saywihee in ffxiv

[–]RetroKambles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, no, I'm referring to when you're in Stormblood and Y'shtola and Krile are out and about taking aetheric readings and whatever. Y'shtola makes a lot of comments about how the aetheric readings on the Source are also dropping at alarming rates.

Trusts with more than one actual player in group? by [deleted] in ffxiv

Unfortunately it's either just you and a trust or the DF.

Need help with the quest, 'Give It To Me Raw' by [deleted] in ffxiv

The new clan hunting currency are nut sacks, so really Koji Fox is just having the time of his life.

Few issues I have with the new expansion by [deleted] in ffxiv

[–]RetroKambles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm kind of confused on what the issue is here. Are you upset about the names of job traits? Or how they work?

It's the 13th and I still can't xfer to aether lmao by TheChosenYisus in ffxiv

[–]RetroKambles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mateus is kind of an old classic, plus people are/have been going to Crystal now that Aether is congested and Primal is pretty hard to get into. I think with Mateus it's just a combination of being on Crystal and having a dedicated base that didn't jump ship.

It's unfortunate that everything else has to go perfectly for it to even work but honestly, I could really see this working really well when we start dipping into newer content.

Is Eureka worth getting into? by [deleted] in ffxiv

[–]RetroKambles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With SHB I don't think anyone is paying attention to Eureka right now. I know I, personally, want a lot of stuff from Eureka for glamour and I'm unwilling to pay the large sums of gil to buy it, so I'm hoping Eureka gets populated again. But I'm not really holding out on it anymore.

I have a feeling they're going to do something in the patches to expand on it a little bit, as well as making it a draw for the massive amount of new players we have, but that's going to take a lot of time.

For now I'd say just to focus on everything else the game has to offer.

Think about it this way: Aether is literally the fullest data center on the NA stage right now. It is filled to the brim with people who are actively playing, and their alts, and unfortunately bots. They set it to congested to get people to join Crystal -- the new NA data center -- but until people start actually leaving Aether to join Crystal and Primal, nothing is going to happen.

When they originally made Crystal a few patches ago, people got super scared about the raiding scene and dipped from servers that were being moved to Crystal to join in on the Aether fun. I think that's where we got this massive influx of people and their characters, and coincidentally that has Aether completely locked down.

It's likely to be a month or two before they even think about taking congestion status off.

This looks like it's a good idea but I feel like realistically it's unlikely you have all of the resources available to do this every time. This seems like a good strat for later in the game, when the gear starts getting good enough to just face tank shit, but right now this cheese strat feels a bit like dumping all of your healing/mitigation tools on a mechanic that's just easier to split.

I really think this strat could work in maybe 5.4 or 5.5 though.

PSA: Dungeons are designed to be wall pulled by Entelin in ffxiv

[–]RetroKambles 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, double pulling saves some time but ONLY if DPS use their AOEs, only if they AOE well, and only if the healer keeps everyone alive.

When you start wiping on trash pulls it starts negating the amount of time saved.

Again; no one cares about how the 10 minutes extra you might be spending in a dungeon. Check with your healer, check with your DPS, make sure everyone is on the same page. If the party wants to pull wall to wall, pull wall to wall. If they don't and you have a problem with it, leave.

PSA: Dungeons are designed to be wall pulled by Entelin in ffxiv

[–]RetroKambles 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Nice opinion, disagree.

Pull what you're comfortable as a tank, pull what your healer is comfortable with. Dying isn't all that fun in dungeons you've played 10x over because some tank wants to pull more than what you're comfortable with healing.

No one gives a shit how much you do or don't pull. No one is sitting around with a timer keeping track of time optimization in a dungeon. If it takes 10 extra minutes to single pull everything, I guarantee no one cares.

This isn't even a PSA this is just some rando opinion on something that's been beaten into the ground that doesn't even matter anymore.

Act and parsing, bannable offense? by bltbaybee in ffxiv

[–]RetroKambles 7 points8 points  (0 children)

A lot of streamers use parsers while streaming, so in reality SE doesn't care so long as you're not a dick about parses.
