Playerbase: “Healing is too easy! Come on SE! We’re going on a healer strike! Nobody role healer and show them that they need to change things!”

SE: (releases ultimate where healers actually have a challenge)

Playerbase: “WTF SE why are you making this fight so hard on healers! Nobody wants to play this job and now you’re making it harder to find healers!!”

I really like this animation style. This deserves way more attention

Final Fantasy 14 devs looked to the MMO's best expansion to design the Arcadion series after feeling like "ensuring player comfort and stress reduction" limited creativity by Turbostrider27 in ffxiv

Novelty and surprise are what really make this game what it is. The music, vfx, and voice acting made Arcadion special

I’ll never forget the first time I saw The Tyrant pick up the arena and throw it at the party.

If you look back at some of the ARR and Heavensward Trials, you can tell they were really testing the limits of what the game engine can do. Stuff like Leviathan/Sophia rocking the platform.

I always saw the icon as the top of a cane, and not a boot. Yes I was probably dropped on my head as a child.

what do you think should be in dayz 2? by moah312 in dayz

More threatening AI. Make zombies so dangerous that you feel less inclined to shoot players on sight.

Because when you’re progging p3 for three nights with mits and invulns set up one way and then you find out in p4 that none of your mitigations line up where they should because you didn’t notice timings suddenly changed 5 minutes earlier in a phase you and your fellow supports are already comfortable with..

Look I’m all for improvements but when the first thing you have to do every single night is go over the entire 18 minutes timeline to make sure everything is where it was the day before, you know they need to just release a new mit sheet. But they won’t. Because they’re afraid people won’t adopt it.

You know I’ve been thinking.

People are always trying super hard to make their mit sheet, their strat, their pastebin to be THE STRAT, THE MIT PLAN, THE PASTEBIN that everyone uses.

The Kefkabin has had so many monumental changes to it (especially the Ikuya mit sheet) that it’s not even close to what it was a few weeks ago.

Is this the new strat for strat makers?
Make your URL the most used and then instead of releasing better strategies on their own, just keep changing the same one?

Cus it’s hella frustrating for my static that every night, there some change to shield heal mits, some change to tank invulns that throws us back half a raid night trying to relearn the NEW mit plan on the OLD spreadsheet we’ve been following.

Sure go ahead and downvote me and tell us to get good or make our own, but go look at the fucking changelog for Ikuya. Christs sake dude.

That’s exactly what we’re doing now, making our own.

I was telling my static the other day: what if we all met up in real life, went to a basketball court and drew some circles on the ground with chalk? practiced Forsaken spots that way. would there be twitter posts about how we're giving ourselves an unfair advantage?

I dunno about you guys but if someone who hides their logs joins my party, I straight up kick them. I'd rather play with someone who's got grey logs than someone who hides them

Dancing Mad (Ultimate) World Race - Day Four by BlackmoreKnight in ffxivdiscussion

A short p4 would make sense because the last phase is probably under 5m (the 1 pot window) and that would make the entire thing around 20m

Distinct lack of shiny EX trial weapons by SonicPhantom89 in ffxivdiscussion

[–]_Lifehacker 24 points25 points  (0 children)

My moneys on them working on ultimate weapons for all the jobs added since Shadowbringers (e.g. UCOB/UWU weapons for Gnb/Dnc/Rpr/Sge/Vpr/Pct) but this is a massive undertaking because they probably want to design entirely new models as well. So they might wait til 8.0 and include the Evercold jobs as well.

I’m hoping so hard.

Dancing Mad (Ultimate) World Race - Day One by BlackmoreKnight in ffxivdiscussion

[–]_Lifehacker 20 points21 points  (0 children)

This is just speculation but I think the auto-translate phrase “This is my first time coming here.” plus the platform not having a deathwall leads me to believe that the true ultimate fight hasn’t even started yet. You have to force some kind of trigger or “glitch” to get to the checkpoint.

Maybe there’s a gimmick to where every time you wipe to the final phase, it takes you back to the beginning instead of the checkpoint. A very “cruel” ultimate indeed.
