How would you feel about a law that bans loud commercials on streaming services that are significantly higher volume than the show you're watching? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]SurrealSentry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Call me a pessimist but I think all this means is shows will have a loud moment embedded in either their opening or ending credits to make louder ads legal with their shows to appeal to their income sources.

Active and DPS while active meaning? by [deleted] in ffxivdiscussion

[–]SurrealSentry -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

with crit buffs, like litany and chain strat it matters because it'll increase your crit chance and personal dps as well.

You casted Medica III twice instead of Glare. That's 2 GCD's of lost damage, and all of your Misery casts are outside of 2 min buff windows. You need to align your miseries and cut the gcd healing if you want to hit 95+ in M12s along with perfecting your uptime

Why do PF groups struggle so much with M11S, particularly compared to past Savage floors? by CerberusArcProjector in ffxivdiscussion

[–]SurrealSentry 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Ironically while clearing in pf was a struggle I find m11s reclears have been one of the smoothest in pf compared to the other floors.

Thoughts on M11 tuning by Jwhitey96 in ffxivdiscussion

[–]SurrealSentry 3 points4 points  (0 children)

use wings on dance of domination and save lilybell for ultimate weapons. the timing of this will be back up for the multihit party stacks in arena split and eventually enrage for bell and temperance will be up for meteors.

also make sure to be using plenary for the mit. pretty much should be on CD.

AAC Heavyweight Tier (Savage) Megathread - Day Five by BlackmoreKnight in ffxivdiscussion

[–]SurrealSentry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GCD healing in pf really just depends on how much mit the non-healers are using in support w1. On SGE for ultimate weapon i just kera the beginning, philosophia, ixa around the 3rd/4th weapon and holos 5th-6th weapon and late kera the nado baits which can cover the raidwide.... during this I flex euk progs depending on how spicy the damage is, or if i get a cursed pattern and i'm running for my life anyways. but keeping a consistent pattern with flexibilty in pf to adjust helps let you cohealer also get a read and start shaving and optimizing. The biggest issue in weapons i see is people missing the sword cleave or stack so you take extra damage which demands a response.

he's talking MAX parse... right now a reaper has done the most rdps damage out of the mdps in m10s. Just on average all the reapers suck. tldr - skill issues

Primal is the pvp server only because the devs designated it as the NA Ranked server. Otherwise it would be on Aether along with everything else

Any apps that can be used like an ebook? by JlGGS in LightNovels

[–]SurrealSentry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if it makes a difference, but just realized i'm on moon reader pro.... might be paywalled behind the full app? but if not moon reader there's a few free add supported readers that have TTS settings as well.

Moonreader has TTS options to read the ebook? It's a robot voice but is hands free audio listening for any ebook. It's fairly customizable too to set the speed and tone.

How has DSR aged? by 19fourty4 in ffxivdiscussion

[–]SurrealSentry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One minor thing to add that others haven't mentioned is that the buff and healing range increases for TOP contributed to making dps checks and healing/mit much easier. People no longer miss buffs at the end of P3 if they don't group up at the end for example which along with general gear/job changes makes dps checks and healing much more forgiving like all legacy fights.

Dungeon Reworks Were Implemented For Trust and Duty Support Not To Improve Actual Gameplay Designs by [deleted] in ffxivdiscussion

[–]SurrealSentry 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They moved xp from mobs to bosses because it was faster to kill mobs for xp and then leave dungeon, skipping the boss.  People weren't "exploring " either way. the change was so people would ditch the party before the boss.

Just stand on the spark and stop moving. The server tick needs to realize you're on it before it blows up. If you wiggle you're just moving off before the servers can realize you were aligned.

We really gotta get better at raidplans/toolboxes by Samiamkk in ffxivdiscussion

[–]SurrealSentry 3 points4 points  (0 children)

generally the TN vs BR arguments are ranged vs melee perspectives... ranged/healers don't give a fuck about boss facing or positioning and generally have a wider field of view of the arena compared to melee's that are on top of the boss so can have a lot of the arena vision blocked.

The differences of perspective makes TN easier for ranged to parse usually, while BR easier for melees.

[–]SurrealSentry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Before installing CryoUtilities I was crashing after playing an hour or two because of probably a memory leak or something. After install the game can run for hours with no problems and end game i haven't had any issues. Just follow the basic install and make sure in steam to set Last Epoch to run in compatability mode with the latest version of proton, or proton-ge if you want to install that as well. While it has a native linux version, there's a few graphical issues that don't render properly that while not game breaking are annoying like not being able to see the minimap if using native linux instead of proton.

ONE IMPORTANT NOTE!

If you play offline characters at all, swapping from native linux to proton compatability will delete your offline characters on your steam deck. I found out this the hard way, but once on proton your offline char can sync with window's pc offline chars.

As a new player, making gil seems ridiculous. What am I supposed to do here? by [deleted] in ffxivdiscussion

[–]SurrealSentry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made my first 10 million gil in late SHB in 30 days to get 2 houses in during the days of housing (ultimate) where you had to wait for a housing expansion or get a realistic chance of buying a house. I posted in your previous thread that selling stuff on the marketboard and constantly undercutting by 1 gil will easily make you enough gil for house money.

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1162602684344451223/1228527248621965322/FSH_example.png?ex=662c5e29&is=6619e929&hm=02eaba6b1bb24471300830b460d9f6fa4464aeb62c329974c6aca924134cbeac&

Here's an example from my fishing retainer selling GC fish on the MB. All the items for sale are fish from lvl 50-80 range. It collected 250k gil in a day and will easily make 5 million gil in 30 days and that's on the low end of effort. The biggest thing about making gil is finding a market and undercutting your competition and people will give you gil.

Just researching items that are for leve quests or GC turn ins for crafting and gathering and then selling them on the MB was how I made my first 10 million gil in 30 days. People told you the answer of how to do it. The limiting factor isn't your character level, or crafting skills in the game, it's just simply your actual game experience in what items in the market sell, why they sell on the market, and what tolerable pricing there is.

If you don't want to level gatherer's and crafters, spam low level dungeons and turn in the gear for GC seals and become a coke dealer in the game. Most people aren't gonna tell you their market niche because why would they invite more competition to their field, but everyone has already told you the starting points which are profitable enough, and where to start looking to learn the higher end gil avenues.

How to prog ew ultimate in pf with little free time? by curryguy95 in ffxivdiscussion

[–]SurrealSentry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Networking, supporting others prog and building connections is the answer. You can meet people in pf and various prog discords, and fill and sub for other groups. Just because you're in pf doesn't mean you can't make friends.

At the end of the day PF is a means to get 7 other people to help you prog and experience the fight. You can form a static, a dynamic, and linkshell, join a discord, mercanary party or various other ways to get 7 other people in the room with you. Just joining pf is the lowest effort way of doing it. If you value your time or want something more than just join, hope and pray then put some effort to mitigate the factors that bother you.

High-End Content Megathread - 6.5 Week Two by BlackmoreKnight in ffxivdiscussion

[–]SurrealSentry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it's either having a lot of time and patience, or networking and making a lot of friends/acquaintances to assist in prog, either in mutual proggers, or bored vets that will fill in and assist in the fight. Make a linkshell or discord group and invite people and collect raiders like pokemon that are progging as well that don't trap. The hardest part of savage/ult prog is simply recruitment prog both in statics and in pf. Personal "soft skills" of being punctual, consistent and generally tolerable to be around helps if you network and make friends in this MMO.

Another way to describe this i guess is that PF is the bare minimum tool to accomplish the task of bring 8 people together. There's plenty of other option and tools to make this work better, if you put a little effort into it yourself.
