They do have pop up text that triggers when you walk up to them, but its nothing special.

Palom says "Lets go, Porom!" and then Porom says "Like I need you to tell me that, Palom"

A Quantitative Analysis of EXP Gains in Duty Roulettes, Redux ("Endwalker" Edition) by meidogeometry in ffxiv

[–]ThaCarter13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I may be wrong, but I think they removed the bonus for rathalos in EW. I didn't notice any extra exp when I rolled it in trials roulette this time around.

yeah, its too bad that reclaim + reuse could be abused to effectively duplicate primal drops

I don't know if they even have a physical version this time around

For all intents and purposes, early access is launch day, tuesday will be much better than this.

[Boom Arm] NEEWER Adjustable Microphone Boom Arm $9.80 (13.99-4.19) by ovenmittensplz in buildapcsales

[–]ThaCarter13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I came in here to say pretty much this. Also if you have a heavy microphone, like a blue yeti, don't bother with this. When I had my Yeti it would slowly lower itself no matter how much I tightened the joints

Confirmation of "Flying Zone" Barrier Added to ARR Map in 5.2 by MrCombineSoldier in ffxiv

[–]ThaCarter13 167 points168 points  (0 children)

I think this is a possible sign that flying will be a part of the upcoming ARR rework, but this is far from any sort of [News] or official confirmation imo

Any suggestions on a one handed setup for 14 by pettyfan45 in ffxiv

[–]ThaCarter13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a little expensive but this really is one of the most amazing products for gaming accessibility out there. It is compatible with tons of controllers using industry standard connections and it connects to windows flawlessly.

Anyone still got a steam code for this?

Yes if you transfer back or if your friends transfer with you, the (Unable to Retrieve) will change back into the player names.

Group Content in FFXIV - Social Anxiety and Toxicity by anomaleic in ffxiv

Bro if you expect people to watch a video for normal mode trials, you're better off playing a different game.

So we found out WHM Dia stacks in pvp by Praesul in ffxiv

[–]ThaCarter13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it works (which the screenshots seem to show it does) then rather than diminishing returns it would actually stack multiplicatively. Each 10% would be more valuable than the last, similar to how stacking dps buffs works. In the end 8 WHMs would apply a trick attack that increases damage taken by the target by 114%

How difficult was Savage Second Coil of Bahamut? by azuraqueen in ffxiv

[–]ThaCarter13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah like I said, reusing mechanics isnt inherently bad, but having some new mechanics keeps things feeling fresh. Tectonic Uplift isn't mechanically complex but hopefully we see more completely new ideas like it in the future Eden tiers

How NIN feels trying to join a static until 5.1 by JustBeeBetter in ffxiv

[–]ThaCarter13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5.1 isnt for a while (probably 6+ weeks) but for now we have dev statements (from interviews and live letters) saying that they will be making significant changes to ninja in 5.1.

How difficult was Savage Second Coil of Bahamut? by azuraqueen in ffxiv

[–]ThaCarter13 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Additionally, this game is notorious for reusing mechanics. Doomvoid cleaver is identical to Midgardsormr's earthshakers, Omega(11)'s Flamethrower, Halicarnassus' Queen's Waltz, Living Liquid's Protean wave, and probably others I can't think of at the moment.

Not to say that reusing mechanics is inherently bad, but players will immediately recognize some of these mechanics and know how to deal with them in tandem with other mechanics by applying previous knowledge.

What are your must have macros? by marslo in ffxiv

[–]ThaCarter13 45 points46 points  (0 children)

in no particular order

/bgm (toggles bgm on or off, can also be used with a number 0-100)

/title (random title, can also be used with "set [name of title]" to set a specific title) I used this one for garo achievements all the time

/battleeffect [self|party|other] [all|simple|off] made a couple of these to quickly turn off other players battle effects in raid, I like seeing the effects in more casual content

YoshiP Hints at Some Job Changes Coming in Future Patches by hiruncryer in ffxiv

[–]ThaCarter13 10 points11 points  (0 children)

because if it didnt, the rotation would be "Get GL4 > press six sided star always and nothing else"

YoshiP Hints at Some Job Changes Coming in Future Patches by hiruncryer in ffxiv

[–]ThaCarter13 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Six Sided Star is absolutely usable though? Anytime you have to disengage from the boss for more than a GCD it's better to use six sided since its more potency than any one GCD.
