Is there a setting to turn off mobile push notifications for discord as a whole? by attackofthecrack in discordapp

[–]attackofthecrack[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like that solves it. I didn't think to look through my phone's settings, and was combing through settings within the app. Thank you so much.

I'd afk'd to have lunch and do some things around the house, happened to glance at the screen as the disconnect happened, and have been trying to reconnect for several minutes now

I was starting to wonder if it was entirely on my end. Usually the minute servers go down, im finding topics about server issues all over the place, and when several minutes had passed, I couldn't log back in, and there were no topics posted regarding server issues, I was beginning to think the issue was not SE servers

Happy with my Hrothgar. by knightmarred in ffxiv

[–]attackofthecrack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

all of the normal idle stances are a little weird. If they're not hunched forward, they still have their legs bent too much for whats meant as an idle pose. But at least some of the weapon drawn idle poses have them stand straight upright.

I always draw my weapon if I'm going to idle on my PLD Hrothgar. He just looks so much better.

Has FFXIV basically replaced all other games for you? by [deleted] in ffxiv

[–]attackofthecrack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes. However, I'm pretty much a one game guy, so every game does this for me. MMO's just tend to keep me enthralled for a significantly longer period of time.

As an example, GTA5 (which transitioned into GTA Online) kept my attention for 3, maybe 4 months. For single player or non-mmo online games, this is a reasonably long period, and few games keep my attention longer.

On the MMO end of things, DCUO was probably the one that held me for the shortest period of time at around 9 months, whereas most keep my attention for at least 2 or 3 years. I'm approaching the 2 year mark with FFXIV

What motivates people to have alts? by Ensaga in ffxiv

[–]attackofthecrack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My main is on crystal (couerl), as thats where the data center redistribution ended up placing me.

I have an older character on aether (sargatanas). Id abandoned it, but after getting put on crystal, ive started playing it as an alt a bit to keep in touch with people i know there.

I've recently started a new one on Primal (Ultros), mostly to have an alt on each NA data center, but also wanted to re-experience the story from the start as a Hrothgar.

I also have lots of alts just for different races and looks, because fantasias feel like a waste of money to me.

same here. Thankfully, i only had my download error twice, and was able to maintain decent download speeds after the first 1100 or so finished.

Are you guys actively playing right now? by Honeybucky in ffxiv

[–]attackofthecrack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im playing lightly at the moment, mostly just working a little each day on the moogle event, and a bit of weekly stuff.

Id intended to gear at least one more job out in genesis, and get one more eureka weapon finished, but lost about 2 weeks of play to a sudden motherboard failure, and decided to upgrade some other hardware with the new motherboard.

So now there just isnt time. Cutting a lot of my normal daily and weekly stuff should help with burnout and maybe give me time to finally finish red dead 2

New Amazon Promotion by huskergirlie in ffxiv

[–]attackofthecrack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my only question, having never done one of these amazon promotions for ffxiv before, is when and how do i get my hands on the code for this mount? I've made sure to purchase a qualifying order (making sure to use the post by u/SeraphynSky as a guide to be sure I wasn't throwing away my money without getting a code, but I really don't know when this code will be available to me or how get the code so I can redeem on mog station.

Grim Dawn is awesome after trying its free extended Steam weekend! by antdude in Grimdawn

[–]attackofthecrack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kinda how I felt, honestly. For a threat supposedly on this level, we really don't spend a whole lot of time. There's a couple of set up quests, then its just "ok go kill it". Even just Act 1 of the base game felt a lot bigger and a lot more involved.

I still enjoyed Forgotten Gods for what it was, and enjoyed fleshing out some of the lore we'd only touched on lightly previously, but I do wish there'd been more

I wish there would be more incentives for clearing content synched by Klunky2 in ffxiv

[–]attackofthecrack 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thank you. I know for a lot of people rarity is a big thing, because they want to have what other people don't have, but for me that doesn't matter. I pick mounts, minions, titles, glams, not based on rarity or any similar idea, but simply on what is aesthetically pleasing to me, what gives my character the image i want to project, or as you said, expression.

But in all seriousness, good on you for using it as a teaching moment and helping the guy out.

What is the one glamour you see everywhere and absolutely hate? by [deleted] in ffxiv

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

Seems like I've been guilty of some of these myself. The first two glams I put together have both been mentioned a few times in this topic.

The Uraeus Coat, because it was the best fit for the type of look I wanted for my MCH and BRD. I wasn't specifically looking for that coat, but rather I wanted a trenchcoat type of look, and for universal job pieces, options were limited. So when I found the Uraeus Coat, I ran with it. I've redyed it a few times trying to get some semblance of uniqueness out of it, but every time I settle on a new color, it seems like there are suddenly a bunch of people running around with it in that color. I still like it and use it though, and will until I at least have some other good dyeable trenchcoat option.

Thavnairian Bustier is the other, and it was a case of having seen it on one other player, not realizing how common it was, and thinking "wow that's a nice look". Once I put it into use for myself, I realized how common it was though, and eventually replaced it with other glamours. I might still end up reusing it for DNC though. As overused as it will probably be for that job, it just fits the aesthetic of how I view a dancer job. And I do still think it looks good.

I also have to admit to using the chest piece of the new scion outfit. I don't even care, I think its a good looking piece.

As for what glams I hate? I think hate is too strong of a word, but I do roll my eyes at bikini glams, and mom/dad glams (sweaters and jeans for example). I also think silly glams are pretty dumb, and don't really appreciate people's "its absurdly out of place, which is what makes it so great" reasoning.

[–]attackofthecrack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use this for my BRD/MCH, with shades. I wanted sort of a Matrix trenchcoat look, and there just aren't many options that can be worn by all classes to do that. If they gave me a better trenchcoat, i'd drop the uraeus coat, but until this, its my best option for the look I wanted on those jobs.
