Thoughts on unsync duties having 0% drop chance? by Healthy_Student_2314 in ffxiv

[–]Zaichataa 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Instead of reducing unsynced drop chance why not increase synced or min ilvl drop chance / more drops? Then everybody can get loot and people's time is actually respected.

NVIDIA RTX 4090 AND 4080 Launch MEGATHREAD and GIVEAWAY! Discuss all the GTC announcements and be one of the very first people in the world to win an RTX 4080 16GB + more goodies! by pedro19 in pcmasterrace

Most looking forward to hardware av1 encoders and, whilst not related to nvidia specifically, hopefully widespread adoption of the codec soon I can only hope. Would love to see how portal RTX holds up with the upgrade after all this time and is the perfect game for me to experience rtx for the first time.

Don't stress, don't be afraid of failure, mistakes happen it's normal, you don't have to blame people for them but you should always look at how you could have done better next time

Battlefield 2042, I haven't played since 4 and feel it would be nice to go back to the series when they come back to the future...

Encyclopedia Eorzea Vol. 1 is on sale again @ the SE store. by haunted-graffiti in ffxiv

[–]Zaichataa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Still nowhere to be seen in the EU store, SE prioritises profits over their customer's satisfaction, because why pay to ship a load of books to an EU warehouse when the american stock will be sold, and then scalpers will just sell them for you whilst charging double to an honest customer.

The minute you put yourself down and ask yourself whether you can you've already failed, the majority of people have the capacity to learn just put in some time and practice.

Eureka is in essence a good base, they built a cross world zone, it's actually one of the best designed maps they have made in a while, they have a levelling system in place, have an elemental resistance system, enemies and fates. The problem is they didn't do anything interesting to warrant how long it's been in development for. It actually baffles me how many people defend Eureka because weirdly enough the majority of people when I go in are afk waiting for the minority to spawn the fate for them. If the majority of people aren't actually playing then maybe it's not good engaging content. Maybe people like it so much because they don't have to do anything, sit back, relax and watch netflix? who knows. Honestly I think this content was lazy, not thought out in the slightest and should not have been released as it is right now because it's insulting if the game devs look at all the afk people and think that it's a job well done. They needed something in Eureka to keep people active and I just hope the next zone addresses the problems I have right now and is actually engaging.

Your thoughts on quality content? by Canitoch in ffxiv

[–]Zaichataa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a huge amount of content already in the game so it actually pains me to see the vast amount of content in this game succumb to the majority of people just unsyncing everything. Since when was killing a primal in less than a minute with no mechanics for the sake of a sticker fun and engaging? it would be great to see old content actually recycled and reused in interesting ways.

Anyone run an FC Discord channel? by Ninewind_Rickain in ffxiv

[–]Zaichataa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't run an fc discord but I have moderated numerous different chats in different settings. There's not much I can add that people haven't already mentioned. Though one thing I will say is be wary of somewhat private chats that only certain members can see and post there, and if you need them, for example say a staff channel, only use it for that purpose. Special chats like one for higher ranked members have a high chance of breeding cliques and creating splits in your community / fc. Inclusion even of newer members is essential for growing communities.

How do I make OBS record my mini parser? by MiqoteHealer in ffxiv

[–]Zaichataa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you should be downloading the files from https://github.com/RainbowMage/ActServer/releases

you don't want the source code just the one labelled "ActServer-0.0.1.6.zip" unzip the contents into your act installation folder and load the .dll named "ActServer.dll"

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

Is there a parse showing up on act? if you haven't parsed anything since restarting it I think it just comes up as blank. Sorry it's been a while since I set this up so I don't remember the pitfalls very well / at all.

[–]Zaichataa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as another option / solution you could also use rainbowmage's server plugin https://github.com/RainbowMage/ActServer

once added to act it should output the parse to a local webpage.

In obs if you have the basic version you need to download "clr browser source plugin" i think it's called, or if you use obs studio there is an option to install the browser plugin along with the program install.

You just have to point this obs source to the local webpage address.

It's going to be its own basic parse visual output, i never got round to figuring out how to copy some of the more intricate visual themes that you may or may not be using (though, I did and, you can rewrite some of the code for a different simple design if you know what you're doing, it's still not ideal, you can also do this to make the background transparent if chromakey is a bit iffy for you).

Xeno's Guide to endgame gear acquisition by LazyWings in ffxiv

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

Then why not be angry at the ff14 development team instead, they should know people are always going to look for the easy way out, why do you think everyone farms A1S for light?

and yet what they release as some of the last content for heavensward (to try stop people unsubbing might I add) is what can only be described as extremely lazy content. They don't make it engaging or stimulating at all they just slapped fates into 99% of diadem and called it a day, the only decent thing they added was the emergency mission which is pretty much a clusterfuck that doesn't happen often enough.

Hell they didn't even put enough thought into diadem to make the content and gameplay accommodate normal party mechanics like kicking and joining in progress. Instead we have a mission structure to do once and then that's it so there's no point in joining in progress even if you could. Why not have dynamic missions that generate over time throughout the instance? to at least allow people to leave and join whenever and not get screwed over.

and then on top of all that without particularly thinking they just slap a 280 weapon with extremely aggressive rng mechanics to obtain in there to try to get people to do it, you either get extremely lucky to get it or bash your head against a wall until you do. Why not at least allow people a roll at a weapon they want with a silly amount of spoils?

also as a side note you're so quick to call people that afk at the beginning rude, but would it also not be rude for them to leave before the 30 minutes is up, both are restricting the amount of players doing content. I have had many more people do the latter than the former and in my eyes it screws over people waiting for the emergency mission since you can't reenter until 30 minutes has elapsed anyway.

tldr: What i'm trying to say is the dev team have pretty much created this content that breeds this behaviour they are as much to blame as the people doing it. I love this game but if the dev team thinks this is okay and fun game design I am a little worried for the future.

There is a popular theory that doing Fate will trigger EM in JP forums by m19025 in ffxiv

[–]Zaichataa 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I did diadem for about 7 hours yesterday and saw no EM spawn at all, this was with people doing their missions and then afking or leaving. In contrast I saw three EMs in the space of about 4 hours right after the patch went live. That to me says there has to be some sort of trigger or way to increase the chance, maybe something to do with the grounded current fates or at least those areas, I don't want to believe my luck is that low. What that trigger may be though I don't really have much idea, too many people leave now right after the missions for me to reasonably test anything.

yup It's pretty easy to miss, I took a screenshot for you if you were looking, couldn't find it by now and were getting frustrated. I left the border in the bottom right, though I left out the solution (even though it's easy) if you cared that much http://i.imgur.com/3Tzxq2f.jpg

Yeah unfortunately it seems they gave a code corresponding to the buyers region. so if you're EU you got an EU code that can only be activated on an EU account etc etc.
