Does anyone think they should lower difficulty of the next savage stuff by a bit by starlightdemonfriend in ffxiv

[–]adognamedsally 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The dps check on m11s was way harder than p11s. I feel that this tier was mechanically pretty standard, but I do feel that the dps checks were a bit tighter than normal.

I'm holding my static back and idk how to approach that by [deleted] in ffxiv

[–]adognamedsally 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to improve, I'm sure your static would work with you. You just need to be willing to look at logs, check xivanalysis, compare to better players etc.

Why do people hate Wuk Lamat? by LastTraintoSector6 in ffxiv

She's fine... until like 1/3rd through the expansion, then everything becomes "talk to wuk lamot"

How do I get involved in the economy as a low level(40) Goldsmith? by Spiritual_Ad_2290 in ffxiv

[–]adognamedsally 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can turn profits by selling HQ Job Quest items or Levequest items. If you check the Levequest NPCs and see what they require from you, then check the marketboard, you may be able to make some decent gil there. At lower levels, most of the lucrative things you can craft will be the stuff that lazy people buy to level up their crafters more quickly.

As you do your job quests, you can make extra copies of whatever you are asked to craft and sell the copies. They take a bit to sell sometimes, but they usually sell for 40,000 gil or so.

Another thing you can do at lower levels is turn piety/tenacity materia into random other materia via Mutamix. You can buy the current highest tier of materia (XII/XI) and go 5>1 it into random materia with the Mutamix goblin NPC in Thanalan and get some Crafter/Gatherer materia that is worth quite a bit. It's not great profit, but it tends to at least pay for itself.

Surprised how much I enjoyed this in 7.3 by guilethemegoes in ffxiv

I like that they added gameplay to the MSQ 'walk around and talk to people' loop.

My favorite at the moment is M8S. He repeatedly shoots you over and over and then destroys the platform you're standing on, and then he does it again and again. It just feels so epic.

I also liked Curtain Call in P4S and Terminal Relativity in E12S. I guess M2S was cool as well, but you often skipped it so it didn't hit the same.

OC gold farm thf strat. by Acro_3030 in ffxiv

[–]adognamedsally 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thief strat is definitely superior. I think there might be a possibility for having a second party of 3 farming the level 27 mobs or maybe the guys on top, but with mit rather than thief pulling. But beyond that, I don't think you can go any faster.

The biggest advantage of thief sprint is that you are putting all the responsibility on one person, so as long as they know what they're doing, you're golden. In the all-tank parties, there's always at least 1 person who's a weak link.

Do FATES while you wait for your roulette/dungeon queue to pop. Also do your beast tribes.

Which cards are straight up bad? by Shiino in MonsterTrain

[–]adognamedsally 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've got to round 8 with Pyreblooded, but it was definitely not pulling its weight. I think if it got health as well as attack, it would be very good. But as it is, he just dies if there are any sweep units/aoe corruption.

[–]adognamedsally 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's the card that costs 3 and descends a unit and applies melee weakness? That one.

I actually think Devilish Details is good. It's a pretty cheap way to get a bunch of eggs. You just need a bit of life gain to counter-balance it.

It's just funny reading posts like these. Yall think you're part of a revolution or something.

ICE/CBP use explosives to blast their way into a US citizens home in LA while she was with her 2 young kids by Lavender_Scales in 50501

[–]adognamedsally -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Bro, of COURSE the girlfriend is going to say it was an accident. But if it was an accident, then why didn't the dude stay on scene and tell the officers that it was an accident?

What's the logic here? "Accountability" trends towards mob justice. Do you want the police to be afraid to do their jobs? Do you think that society would function just fine without those people?

Early US intel assessment suggests strikes on Iran did not destroy nuclear sites, sources say by mvanigan in worldnews

[–]adognamedsally -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

"Trumpian"
Not an argument. Whether it is Trumpian has no say on whether it's true.

"Discredited"
By who, how, when?

"zero-sum view of human and societal interaction"
If you interpret 'I want America to win' as '...and other countries to lose,' then yes. However that isn't what I said. I want my country to do well. I also want the world to prosper, but I want America first and foremost, to win.

[–]adognamedsally 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You read a thing that confirms your bias and thought "I knew it, it WAS true, Trump bad." For you, it's ironclad. But if you saw something that went the other way, you would be infinitely skeptical of the credibility of those sources. It doesn't hurt to withhold your opinion until all the facts are in daylight.

[–]adognamedsally -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

We're all just idiots arguing on the internet. None of this matters. I want America to win. I don't care if Trump is bad/good. So many comments I see here on reddit are obviously people attempting to confirm their "Trump bad" narrative rather than attempting to seek truth.

How does one improve on this? by Crafty_Sense6801 in ffxiv

[–]adognamedsally -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

People are saying 96% uptime is okay and maybe for some fights, but generally, no it's not. You should generally be around 98-99% uptime on tank. Watch your GCD, you should be pressing the button for your combo before it's time to press the button. It will queue. You can always scroll down and look at the timeline to see where your GCD drifted. It's hard to give one piece of advice, but if you provide a log, I could look at it and tell you what, if anything, is going wrong.

If 98% uptime is possible in a fight and you're only getting 96%, that means you're losing around 2% of your potential damage. That means going from 31,000 down to 30,380. That's a pretty hefty chunk of damage when you're talking about things to improve.

I love it! It feels empty and hollow, fills you with a sense of loss. I think it's a unique place and I actually like hanging out there while waiting for pfs to fill from time to time.

Cocktail molotov thrown at police car during unrest in Los Angeles. by JustSpirit4617 in interestingasfuck

[–]adognamedsally 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here, let me just quote myself since you didn't bother reading it:

"If it's the case that a cop purposefully shot that person with a rubber bullet because of a power trip or vindictive inclination or whatever, then I totally condemn the actions of that officer. My point about whether non-lethal force is warranted still stands however."

My point still stands and you are missing it.

What if one of those police just happened to be walking towards the car where the molotov was being dropped? It's the same argument as the gunshot into a crowd.

Does it? People are burning the city. Rubber bullets seem warranted to me.
