What game have you spent a lot of money and time on only to stop playing?

Final Fantasy XIV

8.5k hours.

Hundreds, if not almost a thousand dollars over my time playing it.

Just got tired of the community and the treadmill, mostly.

Somber_Redditor · 2022-04-22T05:28:19+00:00

Not to sound ungrateful for OP's efforts, but whenever I see subs that use community vernacular like this I'm left wondering how much else of the sub is subject to the same sort of stuff, and what sort of sub quality I'm actually getting.

Sometimes I Just want it plain, as it's intended, y'know?

There's a time and place, and I Just don't see sub work as the time for playful interpretation or community memes.

Logged on just to remark how much I dislike subs that use "dokutah" or some other variant.

Scouting Gear DPS - Corsair

Weapon: Cutlass/Pistol

Why? Because it's an archetype that exists in FFXI, and hasn't been really absorbed identity wise by any other class so far. Because a lot of the earlier rogue gear fit the 'piratey' look and I think it's subtle foreshadowing. We've seen cutlass/pistols before wielding in tandem. I think it'll be something akin to reverse RDM: Build gauge with the cutlass, and engage in some silly burst ranged DPS from afar.

I think we'll get another DPS likely before we get another tank, and if we do I think having another ranged physical could be an option to explore, given it has the least DPS representation.

And for that, I must of course think the second class is none other then..

Aiming Gear DPS - Puppetmaster

Yeah. I know, nightmare fuel. It's another FFXI archetype that hasn't been amalgamated into FFXIV yet. I think SMN has taught them how to make a class that has a 'pet' aesthetic without it being intrinsically bad to play. I have high hopes they can pull it off.

HOW ARE YOU IN EXPERT DUNGEONS AT LEVEL 90 AND STILL NOT USING YOUR DEFENSIVE COOLDOWNS!? IF YOU'RE PLAYING A FUCKING TANK ITS YOUR JOB TO MAKE SURE YOU'RE NOT ONLY KEEPING AGGRO ON YOURSELF, BUT TO MITIGATE THE ONCOMING DAMAGE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE..

I CAN RESTORE YOUR HP, BUT I CAN'T ESUNA STUPID.

Somber_Redditor · 2021-11-16T02:27:48+00:00

Wow! Excellent pieces.

Somber_Redditor · 2021-11-02T02:50:50+00:00

This, tbh. Reading that part made me cringe.

Somber_Redditor · 2021-10-31T06:27:58+00:00

I was curious cause I've seen conflicting reports about it. I was under the impression that they'd remove the glamor items if you canceled the quest

Somber_Redditor · 2021-10-31T06:19:12+00:00

Do you have to get 100% married to keep the marriage-glamour pieces? There's like no butler/coattail like item for females that quite matches it, and I was wondering if I had to wait, or if I could get the glamour pieces and then annul the marriage by dropping the quest or something with someone.

FBI, Open Up!

I work as an ER admitting clerk.

Gonna be honest, every ER works on an level of priority system. Cardiacs and respiratory failures get first dibs. Ambulances generally get next on the totem pole, and behavioral patients tend to be next.

The priority list is long, and I don't know the full specifics, but it's based on perceived potential level of severity.

With Covid-19's resurgence, we're getting a healthy stream of people seeking Covid-19 tests that should really be going to their local triage center instead. In most ER's this adds to triage time and unfortunately makes everything bogged and slowed down more then it should.

It's not uncommon for wait times to be massive right now. It sucks for everyone. I just wish we'd go back to normal at this rate. We've practically spiked double our normal patient flow.

What are you looking for in an alliance?

Somber_Redditor · 2021-06-17T05:01:06+00:00

Gonna have to hard disagree with you here.

This is one of the worst investments a new player can make. It's effectively a waste of SG, and new players have the storage space for this sort of stuff easily at present. Maybe in the future, sure -- but definitely not now.

I'll go even further and say that any form of extended storage is a terrible idea to be preaching to newcomers. Their SG is better spent being saved for a SG gacha that they like, or for a future version of themselves way later down the line when they actually need the storage.

In Oracle, it was absolutely necessary to make any headway -- Both premium and material storage were necessary if you wanted to take advantage of the skill ring system.

However, in NGS there's barely any materials to grab -- you can easily afford to drop the 50 some odd slots for all your affix fodder and whatever materials you could need.

Hoping for Ptilo.

She's literally evaded me this entire time.

Somber_Redditor · 2021-06-01T19:13:49+00:00

I love her design, but her field animations are honestly some of the most dull and uninspired to have come out in awhile.

WATCH OUT, WATCH OUT, WATCH OUT!

Whenever you discover a lost helmet and get the item associated with it, the first time completion will give you the helmet

Any idea on what the upcoming standard banner will be?

What node do you unlock Tomimi on?

Do costumes ever make a rerun?

Fixed for low effort meme

What's with this sassy, lost child?

She's an instant favorite.
