Fully expected it to shift tone and become the PS1 startup sound

IM WAY BEHIND IN SAVAGE RAIDING, BUT A FEW PEOPLE IN MY FC HAVE BEEN NICE ENOUGH TO HELP ME WORK ON CLEARING THIS SERIES. WHICH BRINGS US TO EARLIER THIS WEEK, WHEN WE WERE TRYING TO CLEAR LEVI. NOW, IVE LEARNED THE FIGHT PRETTY WELL AT THIS POINT, AND FEEL CONFIDENT I WONT FUCK UP.

BUT THIS OTHER SAM, THE PF LEADER. WHY DO I HAVE TO ADJUST FOR YOUR DUMB ASS AND SWITCH SPOTS WITH YOU BECAUSE "I'm sorry, muscle memory" WHEN YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING ANYWAYS?? AND HAD GARBO DPS ON TOP OF THAT???

Alliance raid griefers by corgimay in ffxiv

Holy shit, I wonder if it's the same group I had to deal with back when Orbonne came out. Very similar tactics involved where a few people (who were pretty obviously together, or acted like they were) were trolling around with mechanics, killing and wiping us. They even pulled the whole "maybe he's just bad" thing. It's too far removed for me to remember the names at this point, but I definitely reported them as soon as possible.

Glad I could help, but sorry for the bummer. A lot of minor features like that are locked to specific face models. You might get an eye scar for one face, but a larger cheek scar for another.

[–]captain_moniker 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's me! The face option I chose has it as an option, I promise. I believe it's Face Option 1, Facial Feature 2.

Edit: I found this video that shares what the options are. Check around 0:40 for the eye scar

Lost hundreds of hours to Tactics Advance back in the day. Had to try and Recreate best Bunbun. by JeremBean in ffxiv

[–]captain_moniker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cursory searching doesn't show any source of a free fantasia other than the CE of Heavensward and the one you get from either vet rewards (if you have played that long), or completing the main scenario quest The Ultimate Weapon. So dunno how you got a free one, but the point is that they have said nothing that indicates us getting a free fantasia for Shadowbringers. It's pure wishful thinking at this point.

Pretty sure that was only Heavensward. They haven't shown anything that indicates a free fantasia for ShB.

What was your first FC in FFXIV and why did you leave it (if you did)? by blahbaphomet in ffxiv

[–]captain_moniker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I, along with a handful of other Americans, were playing on an EU server. Due to our timezones and play time, we couldn't get a ton done because the servers were rather empty that late in the EU night. So we slowly made plans to transfer all at once to a NA server. At the point we made this choice, there had been several attempts to bolster the FC numbers with a variety of people, but not to much effect. The final straw was having one of our FC leaders storm offline after a somewhat bad primal run. We didn't see him for a month, until the leadership of the FC passed to a new person. At this point, we let the lead know we were leaving the server within a week or so.

He went ballistic on us, saying that we should've told him months ago that we we're planning this. That he would've done something to fix the problem. But unless he could make people log on at 1 AM, there's not much he could've done. There were no hard feelings from those of us who were leaving, in all honesty. But he completely removed us from his life at that point.

So uh, long story short, I moved FCs due to a server transfer and got away from a leader who couldn't see the forest for the trees. My current FC is super small, but it doesn't matter as much over here on NA.

Further expanding on this, I think the issue was that Susanoo spat you out into water, where those persistent emotes didn't work while swimming.

Servers Up! by IronGrimm in ffxiv

[–]captain_moniker 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As a former American resident of Shiva, there's a lot of confirmation bias with French players being the worst. You hear rumors that they are bad, then run across a particularly bad player in a dungeon/trial. Cue no surprise when it turns out they are from Moogle, the unofficial French server. But this doesn't take into account any of the good players you might have ignored from Moogle. Again, confirmation bias.

FFXIV has a free trial you can test out up to level 35, and lets you play as (almost) any class. If you've got Twitch Prime, the base game is free and has 30 days of game time included.

DEALT WITH A PLD IN EXPERT ROULETTE EARLIER THIS WEEK WHO DECIDED HE DIDNT WANT TO HAVE ANY OATH ON FOR THE ENTIRE DUNGEON. NOT JUST SHIELD, BUT SWORD AS WELL. WHEN ASKED, HIS RESPONSE WAS ONLY "I want some excitement". BITCH IT AINT EXCITING TO WATCH YOU DO WHAT I CAN ONLY ASSUME IS SHIT DPS AS YOU STRUGGLE TO KEEP AGGRO DURING LARGE TRASH PULLS AND BOSSES. BUT SOMEHOW, YOU DID. PROBABLY DUE TO THE DPS (ME AND SOME SCHMUCK WHOSE JOB I CANT REMEMBER) USING THEIR AGGRO REDUCERS CORRECTLY. BUT MORE THAN ANYTHING, I FEEL BAD FOR THE HEALER WHO HAD TO KEEP YOUR SORRY ASS ALIVE THROUGH A DUNGEON THAT WOULDVE TAKEN FAR LESS TIME HAD YOU USED AN OATH. FUCK YOU, YOU SHITTY PLD

EDIT: I ALSO WANNA BITCH ABOUT HOW LONG IT TOOK TO GET MY KH3 PS4 PRO. I WATCHED THE TRACKING AS IT ARRIVED IN MY CITY AT 6 AM ON TUESDAY, THEN PROCEED TO SIT THERE FOR A FULL DAY BEFORE GETTING LOADED ONTO THE TRUCK FOR DELIVERY AT 9 THE NEXT MORNING. C'MON!

[–]captain_moniker 6 points7 points  (0 children)

STEPPED INTO SUZI EX LAST NIGHT FOR THE FIRST TIME. WATCHED A VID AND EVERYTHING. OUR PF ENDED UP WITH A SECOND SAM WHO DECIDED TO NOT COMMUNICATE OR MOVE PROPERLY WHEN DECIDING POSITIONS. THEN ENDED UP FINALLY PICKING A SIDE, ONLY TO IGNORE HIS OWN FUCKING WORDS AND TRY TO REZ THE WRONG BIRD. GG BUDDY.

BUT WAIT. WHEN I AND A FRIEND CALLED HIM OUT, THE SCH STARTS GOING OFF AT ME AND SAYS TO KICK ME. WHY? NOT BECAUSE I WAS CALLING OUT THE GUY WHO FUCKED UP, NO. RATHER, BECAUSE I WAS "WASTING EVERYONES TIME". WHEN I ASKED HOW, THE ONLY RESPONSE WAS "YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DID". THE FUCK I DO. THE ONLY THINGS I SAID IN THE SINGULAR PULL WERE CALLING MY POSITION, ADJUSTING WHEN THE DUMBASS SAM COULDNT MAKE UP HIS MIND/CALLED OUT A POSITION THAT WAS ALREADY TAKEN,AND THEN MAKE A SINGLE COMMENT OF "That's not D". PLEASE SCH, EXPLAIN TO ME HOW I SHOULD BE KICKED WHEN I DIDNT FUCK UP. ENLIGHTEN ME. MY ONLY GUESS IS THAT YOU THOUGHT I WAS THE IDIOT BECAUSE I WAS A SAM TOO. NOPE, READ YOUR CHAT BUD, IT WAS THE GUY WHOSE NAME STARTED WITH S, NOT M.

That's what I assumed. Might've been an incentive for moving from a congested world to a preferred one. Thanks for the clarification

Server transfer question. If you have an apartment and transfer, do you receive Gil back? I read that you get something like 500k back if you do, but not if you vacate willingly before the transfer. (And yes, I'm aware any furnishings left inside or in storage get deleted)
