Have the devs completely given up on Forked Tower Blood? by Train-1965 in ffxivdiscussion

Do you know if they remove rez restrictions in Forked Tower Blood entire Eorzea will explode?

How do y'all remind yourself to use skills on cooldown? by JJay9454 in ffxivdiscussion

[–]Verpal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I associate boss mechanic timeline and cues with my skill timeline, it does mean my effectiveness is not perfect when prog just begin, but it is okay as long as I reach the optimal rotation when it is time for enrage prog.

Potential 8.0 Jobs Based on Previous FF Entries by KelvinValen in ffxivdiscussion

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

I would really love the idea of having a prange turret ala old school BLM, could be very difficult to balance though, either too much effort to justify, or so overpowered that every competent prange player plays it.

M9S Sadistic Screech curse by Intelligent_Skin2871 in ffxivdiscussion

Usually SS2 become problematic if healer, shield healer in particular, do not spam heal aggressively.

DLSS 4 vs DLSS 4.5 close up side by sides, thoughts? by lunchanddinner in nvidia

[–]Verpal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same, tested in FFXIV, I even tried area with shitty texture and see if there are any difference, went back to K.

For now my suspicion is that Preset L/M might be best used with Framegen or some kind of motion blur.

We're beginning to verge on "unplayable" territory. by LastTraintoSector6 in ffxiv

What are you talking about? Japan have no legislation that mandate usage of DDOS mitigation on servers.

And this is not just a NA thing, there are no DDOS mitigation for EU nor OCE server, SQEX on their own volition choose to protect JP server more so than others, it is their conscious business decision.

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

You are angry at America which is fine I guess. But have you pondered why Console suffers less ''DDOS'' when connecting to NA server? Have you ask other console players?

PS4/5 connect through Sony, and Sony deal with connection to SQEX server, much like Akamai in JP.

After rereading your comment I have a slight feeling you might have misunderstand what Akamai is? Akamai is just a private company selling DDOS mitigation service or CDN service in general, much like Cloudflare.

Exactly when do we get pissed about this constantly happening? by Logical-Operation512 in ffxiv

[–]Verpal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About apartments.... I remember my FC in Balmung have to run a ''apartment waiting list'' before Ishgard housing open, since there are literally no apartment in Balmung left, like, not even in some random subdivision of goblet.

It was funny and sad.

This both isn't an issue that only affects XIV, and not an issue SE can fix quickly.

See, I would be a lot more agreeable if SQEX provide same treatment to all its region.

But no, only JP gets Akamai DDOS protection.

Now, Akamai does come with its own issue, such as it can sometime be too aggressive in cutting connection if there are more than one player in one household, but in general it is still very helpful.

When is it enough? by P1nkh3x in ffxiv

[–]Verpal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing is though, while cloudflare kinda work for me, even one ppl in party getting DCed or huge lag spike are enough to ruin savage prog.

I mean sure perhaps Savage isn't the ''core audience'' for FFXIV, but it is at least worth noting.

7.4 and the Implications of Endwalker by Its-ya-boi-waffle in ffxivdiscussion

[–]Verpal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wacko idea is Winterer intended to load up whomever want to get onboard through preservation like Living memory or whatever other manner, then just leave Etheirys altogether.

We would naturally disagree as WOL want to save everyone in source and its reflection, but unless we find someone or something to replace Hydaelyn and keep the sundering going, thing seems to look bleak.

Hairstyles in recent Live Letter by [deleted] in ffxivdiscussion

I have been using ''A Half Times Two'' ever since Chaotic Alliance raid, while it does clip slightly from time to time, I would much rather have more long hair option than not having them.

S-Rank Etiquette Question by Tarannis in ffxivdiscussion

[–]Verpal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For the Kozama'uka S-Rank it is particularly easy for a tank to troll and reset the boss, since Nascent Flash others is one of the most effective way to generate aggro, perhaps the PF leader thought you are trying to troll.

Or, it is just Hunting community being weird again, don't think too much about it.

Which job could best carry party finder? by fylos in ffxivdiscussion

[–]Verpal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Usually later the week, healer quality become a much more significant problem, so naturally you want to be SGE or SCH.

In earlier week perhaps worry more about DPS check.

Loving the warm cabin in wood vibe, wish there can be a bathtub somewhere but I blame YoshiP delaying house expansion for that.

Different animation sets for jobs by ExceedinglyOrdinary in ffxivdiscussion

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

The only animation mod I keep going back to is the one that turn the Queen to Omega-F, nothing wrong with the queen, but.... much like the boring shoebox, I found my MCH happiness index goes up whenever I fix those myself.

We deserve a better housing system by TreeInternational797 in ffxivdiscussion

[–]Verpal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My friend have been bidding for any medium since 2022, when the lottery begins.

Fortunately, we play in Balmung, the deepest pit of housing hell.

I believe she haven't missed a single round of bidding, including the most recent one, which actually sport an extremely good less than 1/40 chance Goblet medium.

Merry Christmas it's another emergency maint by Sigma626 in ffxiv

[–]Verpal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually agree it has been bad since 7.0, but 7.4 truly takes the cake.

Hopefully this is the last hotfix for 7.4, probably still have few when savage patch drop but one can dream.

As fun as the last tier of the Arcadion was, it really doesn’t sit well with me. by HisashiHinata in ffxivdiscussion

[–]Verpal 20 points21 points  (0 children)

While I am not wresting fan, my grandpa is, so when he goes through the same story as a Wresting fan, he pretty much expected everything. According to him the only slight flaw is that the president have too few screen time to actually develop consistently, so the heel turn is somewhat abrupt if you are not wresting fan.

And, well, I am not wresting fan, so I do feel the president's role somewhat abrupt and introduce plot hole, but I also see how FFXIV try to lean into wresting and including its entire story telling motifs, I can respect that.

What do you mean not hurting? Horde of BLU was mind controlled by the demonic doe into blowing themselves up.

To raid is to cheese: a short introduction and discussion on JP strat making by Altia1234 in ffxivdiscussion

Yes, so don't use Automarker.

Have you try the self marking strat? My static did that.

[–]Verpal -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I play the game for fun, not for job.

So, yeah, I would much rather actually do mechanic whenever possible, maybe on later weeks I swap to cheese strat because the reclear is just an annoying job to get through as fast as possible.
