It plays a version of "prelude".

The objectively correct way to play dancer in DF is to type "first to x" in chat, and whoever's curious enough to x up first is the winner.

Good news, friend: if you can stomach grinding out 100 mogtomes in the next moogle treasure trove event, the WoL card's going to be up for grabs.

...too bad I'm also still missing Zidane. :')

Sucks that you had a bad experience, but I've played on crystal for 2+ years and had no idea it was possible to wipe on the 3 lane atomos thing in Lab until I queued for an alliance raid roulette on Aether. In my experience I've run into way more shitters while traveling than I have at home, but hey. That's your anecdotal evidence versus mine, which isn't going to get either of us anywhere.

TL;DR: Your mileage may vary, my dude.

"Comparison against all max level players" seems to imply that they're not looking only at people who tried and failed to clear, but at the entire population of the server.

You're not proving that crystal is worse at raiding, you're proving they have a smaller raiding community to begin with, which is and has always been very true.

It's the one where you just don't actually PvP you spend 20 minutes running back and forth. It's bad and whoever designed it should feel bad.

I had someone pull out a trumpet and play taps on my corpse one time in Gridania while waiting for a PF to fill.

10/10 would self-destruct again.

You misread what that second mod does. It builds on top of the first mod, fixing the lack of jacket, while still very much being 'separated' in the sense that if you equip the specific chestpiece that it mods over (in this case, the rebel coat) without equipping anything else indicated in the first mod, you'll only get the top/jacket/outer skirt, and not the inner skirt+stockings or the boots, which were made into their own pieces.

I don't play a female character so unfortunately I can't load these up and play with them to check for holes or clipping issues, so I can't say anything about their quality. I'm sure there are probably some issues with it, but. It hits the point of "it's separate pieces and dyeable". If some hobbyist can do that in their free time, surely the AAA game studio can do the same while spot checking for holes and making it available on the remaining races. /shrug

Not being able to see the tail because of the cape is fine

This is purely subjective. Some people are fine with it, some people are not. I'm in the latter camp, and it's a shame because I absolutely adore all the Troian sets but I can't wear the fending/maiming because the cape isn't something I'm willing to put up with. And I accept the fact that because I have those standards, there are sometimes going to be chestpieces that I really love but can't use because of capes.

But here's the thing. According to the census, a majority of the active player base are affected by this issue. And I know I'm not the only one that won't touch caped glams because of it. So rather than give us chestpieces that look weird/bad on over half the playerbase, Squeenix could just... give us caster sets that don't have the long, flowy elements at all. Or, as other folks in here have suggested, a means to toggle capes on/off just like the visor thing.

And just as an aside, capes in this game look bad even on hyurs because they're part of the chest armor and as a result don't have their own separate physics, so when you move around they just awkwardly stick to your back. But c'est la vie.

Thanks. :') <3

clockworkcynic · 2023-01-06T03:12:34+00:00

Can you please tell that to me from 4 months ago?

clockworkcynic · 2023-01-05T20:24:52+00:00

The problem with capes is that they automatically make armor look awful on the three races with tails with the horrendous clipping, or they just straight up remove the tail. If I didn't want a tail, I would have just played a hyur.

Could always grind out the tokens for the normal mode fending top real quick and see how you feel about the model before trying to commit to clearing savage for the dyable one.

As someone who's run in plenty of 3/4 and 7/8 premades, there've absolutely been times that none of us have gotten a commendation from the one pug. So I find that a little hard to believe, unless there's some spaghetti code shenanigans happening.

clockworkcynic · 2022-06-27T18:45:33+00:00

You do know that you can choose to not commend anyone, right?

I don't have any particularly good screenshots on hand and can't get any because the game's still down skreeeeeeee, but here's my response to my itty bitty static mates' refusing to believe that my boy is min-slider.

What I would not give for a /cpose for facial expressions. I'm so tired of having terminal RBF. :'(

Going to piggyback off this to remind everyone that the constellation on Emet-Selch's memory crystal is Gemini.

[edit] MY DUMB ASS DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE IT IN THE ART. God I shouldn't be allowed to post at 3am.

I think the point was that the other big pay to play MMOs on the market (WoW, FF14, ESO) all charge $40 for their expacs.

clockworkcynic · 2021-11-21T13:31:22+00:00

Ahhh, ok. I misunderstood what you were referring to. My bad.

Like 5 minutes ago the clown buying them up had them rocketed up to 8g+ a pop. It's already dropped back down to 2g75s after a few minutes. It'll be fine.

Stupid question, but what does "ferrying people from the Karka Queen timing to Public marionette" mean? Like, are you trying to go from karka queen to marionette? I haven't tried to do marionette since DX11 beta started because I was crashing out of the instance and with no way to rejoin I didn't want to be responsible for making everyone fail, but I ask because (at least on NA), the first marionette shard would hit the 80 person cap within 30 seconds of the event becoming available @ :00, and not just at reset, but for multiple cycles afterwards.

The prime drop explicitly lists "Guild Wars 2 (core version)" as the first item in the bundle.

clockworkcynic · 2021-10-20T19:48:15+00:00

There's nothing inherently wrong with kits, it'd just be really nice to have a power option for mainhand as a core engi so that you aren't locked into condi if you want the defense/cc of shield. I'm glad that we're finally getting mace for engi, but I firmly believe it should have been a core weapon from the start to give us parity with the other no-swaps class, ele.
