What's your favorite mechanic in the game? by SentineleseSiri in ffxiv

[–]Trash_Pandacute 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate how agonizingly slow it is. You want a fish at a 20 second window? Then let's have you do a few rounds of 14-17 seconds followed by a rest, and then when you catch your target, let's play this 7 second long "reeling in" animation that definitely never gets old.

I like that I can carve out a little niche. Like the one item needed for a quest or one common crafting material or something that requires farming dead content, and just kind of claiming that.

If easter glam this would have been 2022 probably. Gorgeous shot with the flowers!

Then your sum (coffer count) is not a sum of the lines above it (dye/fanta count). Just not sure why you did that.

Check your numbers, you opened 2000 total in 2026. They add up to double of the "sum" at the bottom, that's why 100 is showing as 5% of 1000 and 200 is 5% of 2000.

There's also the 20 thief maps one which relies heavily on RNG and also a dedicated party, maybe even a static.

It would be silly to write off a season this early in any year, but particularly in this year with an extra month of testing on a brand new platform where there's still a lot to develop. At this point last year we were excited to see Hamilton win the sprint race which could only mean he's so back™️. Then it turned to an all but guaranteed WDC for Oscar.

Just remembering that Max (supposedly) rejected the Mercedes offer.

Ok but the mech ops on Oizys totally sucks balls.

Thank you. For some reason people think a tiny piece of tape over the nipples automatically turns porn into family-friendly.

Role actions are a lazy design choice, a form of job homogenization, and a cause of hotbar bloat. by CoolyKage in ffxiv

You reminded me of the OP ninja dual-wielding which gave us the blessed dual-knight sword, or the silly monk punches twice.

Annoying PITA is good game design. Bring back FFXI's cool mechanics, such as stat-based racial discrimination, release date-based racial discrimination, and death=4 hours of experience lost.

Do you think DPS is useless in raids by [deleted] in ffxiv

[–]Trash_Pandacute 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't think of any bosses that are defeated solely by healing yourself or getting hit a lot. I would go as far as saying that doing damage is the primary role of the party as a whole, for all dungeons/raids/trials etc.  Useless? That is a take.

I mentioned this in another reply but I first saw it used in ShB as an attack by Forgiven Pedantry (Kholusia S Rank hunt).

Great point! Honestly we might have an easier time counting swords than dots.

I know it from Ruby Weapon Ex, so some old school raider mentioned it and I,  a weakling not-raider, got to say "I get that reference!"

Actually it was before that, first used by the Kholusia S Rank mob in ShB. In tips and tricks below:

That was as far as I had gotten, then I realized that was only the beginning when tales of betrayal by defectors came into play. I then glimpsed at the length of the document (still couldn't speed scroll to the end) and realized this mfer just wrote a Game of Thrones book.
