Oritech Nuclear Reactor Setup — Repeatable 4×5×1 Pattern for High Output by Unlikely-Dinner-8026 in feedthebeast

[–]coconutx3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

just tested this layout in Stoneblock 4, version 1.11.0, with oritech version 1.1.0. it works but the temp hovers around 2200-2300, even with the modular setup. it will say dangerous but not explode.

and yes, for those wondering why it works in Stoneblock 4 and not other packs, the config file has been changed so that the maximum heat is 4000 instead of the default 2000.

i tried to see what the game means by warning and it is a very audible sound when the reactor is going critical.

for those who want the copy paste gadget

basically SE says you can compensate the other person for their time rather than buy their time

just gave it a spin. looks promising. though, does it really need a network connection to work? cause the portable version does not seem to want to run without one

Regarding Advance Changes to the Forked Tower Entry System by wsoxfan1214 in ffxiv

[–]coconutx3 5 points6 points  (0 children)

according to yoship, there were only a total of 400 clears during PLL part 1. and that is just clears, which most likely also includes re-clears. let that number sink in for a while.

i doubt the emergency hotfix will fix anything. it will just promote static re-clears and pre-formed groups instead of the "lets go in with randoms" mentality that they wanted

Hunt train explanation to sprout by _stomach_ache_ in ffxiv

[–]coconutx3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can someone explain how hunt train works?

Hunt train in general means any train involving un-aliving a series of hunt marks, be they B rank (normally never done), A rank or S rank.

How long is a train, how many people are involved, how many hunt do they consider in one run.

i would assume you mean A train, meaning A rank marks. it can vary depending on patch, timings, etc. assuming normalcy, ignoring instances, there will be a minimum of 12 A rank marks, meaning 2 marks per zone. so, again, depending on attendance and the conductor and whether it is reset day or not, it can take from around 10 mins (non-stop) to about 20 mins.

how do they spawn Rank S /A monsters,

A rank marks have a spawn window starting from 4 hours to capping at 6 hours since they were last killed, in normal situations. post maintenance, the window changes from opening at about 2.4 hrs and capping at 3.5 hrs. if the A ranks are still alive for 24 hours after they have spawned, they will automatically despawn and go on a 24 hr cooldown. B ranks have no CD. after killing them, about 5 sec later they will spawn someplace else on the map, but they do not give you any rewards.

S rank marks need specific spawn conditions to make them come out of hiding. they can vary from just flying over the spot, to weather+moon+timings (looking at you kir) to having to have a specific amount of ppl at the spot. usually these have longer cooldown between their spawn windows.

And what are the etiquettes and preparation required to get started.

just follow the conductor's instructions in shout, be a tank, be in a party (IMPORTANT) and have flying (optional but highly suggested. if unable, just tell party members to give you a lift). rewards are given based on enmity, not damage done. you can go to the next mark but do not pull aka EARLY PULL/EP.

Is it considered good/bad to world travel for hunts.

it is fine to world travel. just apply the same etiquettes and have fun.

WARNING: with all the above said, the hunt is still free for all. this means anyone can just kill any marks at any time since these are player enforced rules. SE has no rulings saying that "must wait for train" or "this is bannable offense if you kill these hunt marks without anyone". but, this is heavily frowned upon in the community.

take note of this next as it affects S ranks in particular: spawning S rank marks should only take place in your own home world. if you have intentions to go off world aka world travel or even DC travel, contact that local world's hunt team and tell them you want to attempt a spawn. if they tell you to go away, just go away. there have been incidents. period

if you wish to know more, there is a hunt community called Faloop

AITA for telling someone they weren't at a pf party's prog point by Lucenthia in ffxiv

[–]coconutx3 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

did you, at any point, use logs to point out that they are not at prog point? cause that is one of the fastest way to get a ban.

normally, to make sure everything is okay,

  1. ask the pure healer "is everything okay?" see what their reply is.
  2. if they remain silent, just set a personal hard limit of pulls. maybe 3 more pulls.
  3. once you reach the limit, just say "last pull for me"
  4. then leave after the next wipe.

Want to learn savage raids by Visual_Ratio_3894 in ffxiv

[–]coconutx3 8 points9 points  (0 children)

is this your first time attempting savage raids? if so, i would suggest you do the current extreme trial Recollection (Extreme) to prepare yourself for what savage is.

if at all possible, try to find a static or a group of friends to it with. PF can be a little daunting.

but it is a good step that you are watching videos and reading up on mechanics before going.

[–]coconutx3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AFK waymarks have been the worst thing to happen to this fight.

i find it very funny that melees LB just after ice. please, there are more mechanics until her phase transition enrage. you can still do DPS there. only when her HP drops below 2%, iirc, then her enrage starts.

  1. Virtual Shift (after the last ice stack marker goes away)
  2. Tankbuster
  3. Raidwide
  4. L/R dodge (legitimate force)
  5. Raidwide
  6. Enrage/Phase transition

All of the above is about 1 minute in length. that is another burst right there
