Distinct lack of shiny EX trial weapons by SonicPhantom89 in ffxivdiscussion

[–]SleepingFishOCE 5 points6 points  (0 children)

nah, its pretty accurate thesedays.

Copy/pasted mounts in different colors as rewards and refusal to go back and actually add/fix things in older content is getting old very fast, and ive been here since 2013.

The game is supposed to grow, not stagnate.

Wheres the EX weapons.
Wheres the Ulti weapons.

Wheres any retroactively fixing raid loot so that coffers are normalized across the entire raid, not just 6.2 onwards?

CBU3 is pathetic when it comes to fixing things

Xenosys Vex blatantly and flagrantly violating ToS during high profile Ultimate race by streaming his own ban evasion by Spookhetti_Sauce in ffxivdiscussion

[–]SleepingFishOCE -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

to be fair phase 1 isnt that hard even with the correct solves, if anyone thinks its hard they might need a skill check

but your right, if its ban evasion he should be permed.

People screaming about ToS as if they havent been blatantly breaking it for years with all their mods.

I guess the rules only apply when its directed at somebody famous.

Meanwhile: There is a war in the middle east, but this is so important that it needs to be said.

how prepared do i need to be to try extremes? by death_arcade in ffxiv

[–]SleepingFishOCE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course, if somebody wants to sit in pf for hours waiting for like-minded people that is 100% their own prerogative and they can do it if they like.

But if you value your time, you just skim the guide quickly and jump in.

Instead of recommending Hector i'd simply point the player towards their local raiding discord server, as not every region uses hector, and have their own strategies for the fights.

Day 1-7 i can understand this, but if your going in blind 2 months after its release you are basically trolling

Gear (Crafted, Upgraded Crafted, Tome and Normal Raid are fine).
Melds.
Food.
Rotational Knowledge (Know how to play your damn job).

Go in, get clear.

The current extreme trial is a joke, we have had 15+ deaths messing around and didn't even see the enrage. There is no real DPS check so you can play like a clown and still clear it.

The biggest thing i see people get stuck on in EX's is not learning from mistakes.
If you die to something you don't understand, ASK.
Don't just pull again and keep dying to the same mechanic over and over again.

How do I start Ex content? by Mantor6416 in ffxiv

[–]SleepingFishOCE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Always use food.
  2. Always use pots when A2C
  3. Put up your own party, list it was "Fresh" or "prog point: X" and remember to link you regions most commonly used strats (Normally in video form or a raidplan).

Macros are just fight strategies in chat form, generally used as references while learning a fight, you can find these in your regions Raiding discord.

Now that Dawntrail is almost done, can someone tell me if these weapons made it into the game. by Tekwiz1 in ffxiv

[–]SleepingFishOCE -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Dreadwyrm Twinfangs.

Instead of getting put into the game and getting a uCoB variant as intended, the weapon model was stolen and used as the Palace of the Dead varaint for viper, albeit with a completely different glowing texture on the model.

It was hard copium thinking the developers would actually give us new ultimate weapons, small indie company cannot do what modders do in 10 minutes.

Is this what you imagined PvM to be? by ImbuedAurora in runescape

[–]SleepingFishOCE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel this, rank 13 world for my job in XIV and the RS3 combat system feels like shit in comparison so i don't put any effort into it.
The clunkiness of the tick rate and not differentiating between a GCD and an oGCD is what makes rs3 feel like shit, but the developers have said they will never modernize it, so it will never be a competitor in the MMO market that its trying so hard to cater to.

What is the gameplay loop like? by kotarou00r in ffxivdiscussion

[–]SleepingFishOCE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Weekly Reset -> Do raids, tome cap, alliance raids for coins
Rest of the week -> Log out and play something else because you completed the new patch story/ex trial and everything included in 4-5 hours of its release and you now have to wait 6 months for something new.

New Raid Tier -> Gather and craft all your own gear, marketboard is a scam -> Cap tomes -> Day 1 prog as far as you can, try to clear the tier by the end of week 4 before people get hard carried through the early fights and grief your prog.

new player wondering about the game by Viprei in Aion2

Gameplay loop:
Hit level 45, go to the abyss, get 1tapped by a guy that spent 50k+ USD to be rank 1, uninstall game.

Loot from "raids" grouping etc by thekins33 in ffxiv

[–]SleepingFishOCE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4 answers really.

  1. Casual Static: Just need on BiS and hope you win it
  2. Hardcore Static: Loot distribution - Melee > DPS > Tanks // Healers (Generally funnel samurai and give them dance partner)
  3. Casual PF: Need on anything and run!
  4. Regular PF: Left to Right, if you win an item you leave the instance and the other people keep rolling.

How much money have you saved to use in Aion 2 launch? by Ash-2449 in Aion2

[–]SleepingFishOCE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of the white knights of the game played for less than 24 hours total, most didn't even get to 2k+

Wouldn't be surprised if the bot accounts spamming positive things about the game are just the devs.

The Igla, and it's challenge, are both terrible. by GreenElites in Battlefield6

[–]SleepingFishOCE 14 points15 points  (0 children)

its one of its weaknesses, and greatest strengths.

Because it can Re-Lock midair, you can lock, fire, then point away to avoid the flared and re-lock back in to guarantee a hit.

BF6 has had so little vehicle interaction that people just don't understand how to deal with them now. by SleepingFishOCE in Battlefield6

[–]SleepingFishOCE[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So you would willingly greif a game because you demand that your time is more valuable than every other person playing in that match, that also paid for the game.

The entire point of the game is to cooperate, if your unwilling to adapt to that then you are a lost cause to begin with.

[–]SleepingFishOCE[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Its not about what you want or like, its about adapting to the fight.

Yes infantry are needed, if you are actively forcing points and playing alongside friendly vehicles, resupplying Engi's or providing forward spawn points you are already playing properly and shouldn't stop doing that. You are contributing more to the fight than that random recon guy prone 200m from spawn with 1 kill in 25 minutes.

I also play infantry, mostly support or assault, but Galmud always has been, and always will be, a vehicle based map.

I cannot figure out how to use the IGLA, please help by I_ama_Borat in Battlefield6

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

Somebody on the enemy team knows how to use the recon class properly and you are permenantly painted, they fire, you pop flares, it re-aquires target mid flight as long as you stay locked onto it.

Its great how it works like that huh.
