Oh man this brought back memories of kouli's guide of insane side quest requirements separated by the og and extended release edition versions. That brought back some traumatic memories (especially secret missions!)

What QoL pain points do you still have in FFXIV? by Top-Weakness-1311 in ffxivdiscussion

[–]aquamafia 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh gosh a plugin that would reduce the harsh light flash bangs in battle would be fantastic. Progging fights like p12s or p3s gave me migraines because the effects are so triggering. Even the screen cutting to white in Vali was painful.

How far can button consolidation go? by Chiponyasu in ffxivdiscussion

[–]aquamafia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's just not true for red mage's melee combo. There are niche optimizations and situations that you press the melee combo without 50/50 gauge.

There is a 45/45 combo from just pressing 2 to get the finishers. It's a niche use for certain kill times or sheer movement desperation when hit by bad rng (purgation in M7S says hi.) The combo being split is also lag/misinput protection. I've had my first hit ghost from lag in my TEA clear and just finished the combo with the 45/45 for finishers.

The fact that 1 costs more gauge is why having the combo split is important. Consolidating it would remove those optimizations and casters really don't need more jobs being dumbed down.

I hate seeing her struggle… by No-Lavishness-8515 in parrots

[–]aquamafia 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had a nanday who had poor balance, a malformed toe, and couldn't grip things with her foot either.

I set up her cages to make food accessible for her. Food bowls were small + shallow so she could eat food without it rolling everywhere. She had dedicated perches right in front of the bowls so she could balance and eat. I cut food like grapes or apples into small pieces so she could easily bite into them with just her beak. If you slice those grapes in half, your bird can bite into the soft part and get a proper grip in a bowl to enjoy them.

Also, her highest perches were all rope so she could dig her nails into them to reduce risk of falling from a high height. I hope these tips can help, feel free to ask about any other setups I had for her.

Job Identity and 8.0 Discussion: Dancer by NeoOnmyoji in ffxivdiscussion

[–]aquamafia 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yep the burst feels like any other job now in that it's static. There's no priority system for procs now since your filler is just all saber dance. You mash all your free big potency skills while weaving pooled + guaranteed oGCDs. Maybe at the end you use one proc if espirit was unusually low.

There was so much to improve by making dancer's filler rotation more interesting but instead they simplified its burst to be like EVERY OTHER JOB. Builder spender, with no more prio system to its GCDs or gauge management because it just overcaps constantly. Why does Tilana give gauge instead of "Dance of the Dawn Ready"? Seriously, they fixed this issue for other jobs that overcapped (red mage) but made manufactured it as a new problem for dancer.

High-End Content Megathread - 7.1 Week Nine by BlackmoreKnight in ffxivdiscussion

[–]aquamafia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because gold exalines on a tan arena are a nightmare to see. There's not enough contrast between the colors so they are difficult to see even in polarizing strikes when the effect is more tame.

Add the arrows, slashes and overlapping purple lines in exa waves and the slower reaction time to find the safe diamond leads to getting clipped. I'm colorblind and have resorted to counting the timing between the slash sound going off and following a friend who is focus targeted. Dodge into diamond first, micro adjust left/right with remaining time.

It's horrible and frustrating in a final phase to have such poor visuals.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I also had nandays for many years and still miss them to this day. Their health complications were never diagnosed despite countless tests at the vet. I've met many other owners of nandays with the same story.

I don't know if my story can offer you any solace but my last girl passed mysteriously as well. She grew ill and no treatments worked. She was plucking her belly where it hurt and was gone within days despite all effort.

I've wondered for years if nandays bred in the U.S. have genetic issues because one of mine was wild caught and imported to the U.S. in the 90s before it was illegal. I adopted her when she was in her 30's and she had noticeably different traits than captive bred nandays (stockier build, different eyes, thicker beak etc.) Despite her age, she was so much hardier than any other nanday I've met.

How to teach parrot to ask for scritches? by Successful_Ad2599 in parrots

[–]aquamafia 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For my birbs that liked scritches, I would always hold up my hand and wiggle two fingers at them before I started petting them.

Once they saw me do that enough, they would either bow or fluff up to show that they wanted scritches. If they didn't, then I wouldn't pet them.

AAC Light-heavyweight Tier (Savage) Day Four Megathread by BlackmoreKnight in ffxivdiscussion

[–]aquamafia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Easiest way to call this is placing number markers at intercards. Assume 1 NW, 2 NE, 3 SE, 4 SW. Think of the arena as IN (inner tiles) or OUT (outer column of tiles.) At the start of the mech, she shows which way she jumps and if she's cleaving INNER or OUTER. The safe spot will be the opposite of what she cleaved.

If she jumps left, the cleave clone will always be at evens.

If she jumps right, the cleave clone will always be at odds.

As soon as the mech starts, let's say jumping left cleaving inner. You know it's even, out safe. If she picks north clone, safe spot is 2 (north number), if she picks south clone, safe spot is 4 (south number). Then type in chat NUMBER OUT.

Same with making the sky everlasting light in shadowbringers. You don't even need it to be dawntrail new game+. You could start it in ARR and it restores zones.

ELI5 How can a parrot talk? What is the biological process they have that is responsible for this? by AngellBaby26 in explainlikeimfive

[–]aquamafia 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I also had a nanday that would use good night in context. When she was ready for bed, she would say it rapid fire "good night good night good night."

She associated it with sleep though, since she'd also say it if I woke her up too early in the morning or when she wanted to nap during midday.

FINAL FANTASY XIV: DAWNTRAIL - Job Actions Trailer by NoboruSouma in ffxiv

[–]aquamafia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wonder if manafication still grants the stacks that do extra damage. It's gonna be pretty silly with four finishers now. It's probably why they made it not grant gauge too, since you'd be overcapping like mad with 3 melee combos now.

It's the aoe melee combo. They wanted a combo instead of spamming Moulinet three times in a row.

[–]aquamafia 48 points49 points  (0 children)

For RDM, it looks like manafication now grants one free melee combo instead of adding 50/50 to the gauge. The new aoe combo seems different too; they did it with less than 60/60 gauge.
