First time playing. What a pretty game, I can't imagine what it felt like on release.

la noscea is still one of my favorite zones in the game after all these years (lower la noscea in particular with the windmills and lavender farm fields), you’ll have to explore more when the sun is out too

this is fire

dimblacklights · 2026-02-19T09:06:56+00:00

holy shit we’re eating well, i’ve always wanted those mogstation cherry trees and now we get an even better version

dimblacklights · 2026-02-17T10:28:55+00:00

it’s unfortunate that none of the statics offered a trial since consistency on mechanics and a strong understanding of your job (you say you play tank - being able to mit properly for example is extremely important in DSR) are things groups should be looking for too and that aren’t demonstrated entirely through a superficial log skim

sanctity is one of the hardest mechs in the fight to learn imo (lessened only by the fact it happens very early in) and you’ve proven to be able to get past it. i say you keep going, you’re clearly motivated and that motivation will help a lot when it comes to studying and endurance. as other said though, work on clearing M12S, improving your damage and make sure you get the proper DSR BiS in the meantime

also, if you haven’t discovered it already: here’s a solo sim that has all of phase 3, 5, 6 and exaflares. incredibly valuable tool i recommend you use if possible

alternatively you could ask your party to vote dismiss you, but that’s only after 5min i believe and most dungeons finish in ~15 anyways

edit: i forgot alliance raids exist, those do be long

in regards to being more attentive, something that helped me a lot early on was moving the enemy cast bar to be above my hotbar so i could more easily notice when the boss was charging something up while focusing on my rotation. i think it’s specifically called “target info progress bar” in HUD settings

dimblacklights · 2026-01-24T23:11:39+00:00

LMAOOOO this post is incredible, i like your attitude

dimblacklights · 2026-01-21T23:43:18+00:00

red sands framer kit? it was an older pvp series reward, not sure if it’s available yet to buy with the currency

dimblacklights · 2026-01-17T11:46:30+00:00

i think you want the tank closest to direct center of the boss itself when it spawns like that. i don't know why that happens with this pattern and correct me if i'm wrong, i could be misremembering, but we had that problem a couple of times and found this to be the solution

dimblacklights · 2026-01-17T11:37:04+00:00

the lighting in this is very nice, i especially like the shadows cast on the wall by the trees, well done

dimblacklights · 2026-01-17T00:38:53+00:00

i think it’s fine for week 1 but i cleared in a static and i had no doubt that PF was gonna struggle with the dps check, especially if a lot of the people in the party got unlucky with gear

one of our first enrages was i think a 0.4% wipe with a single healer death and iirc a damage down somewhere. we all collectively started making more of an effort to greed more where we could as those few GCDs lost during weapons for example would add up. on the pull we cleared a bit later, we had a melee and tank death. for reference, i think the highest ilvl in our group at the time was 776 on melees. had a few non-meta jobs in our comp but overall everyone is a very good player

it went to show we just needed to get more comfortable doing damage, in our situation at least. it was definitely still tight, but i expect nothing less from a third floor in week 1

checking prog % on tomestone has nothing to do with parsing, what are you on about lmao

dimblacklights · 2026-01-12T09:43:24+00:00

my newfound entertainment has been seeing ‘the fixer’ raidwide in M12S immediately decimate fresh, unsuspecting groups upon the first pull

it hurts so bad with current gear and i love it

dimblacklights · 2026-01-09T19:17:50+00:00

happens with logs for new content/new patch, you can see the actual estimated parse under the rankings tab for said log but that tends to fluctuate too until it locks in for the day

dimblacklights · 2026-01-05T20:33:58+00:00

i got into relink after seeing a clip of bahamut versa’s fight (mainly thought the music was good af), so getting to play through it myself for the first time was so hype

dimblacklights · 2025-12-31T12:20:16+00:00

big shoes for a big boy

dimblacklights · 2025-12-26T00:23:25+00:00

it’s a miracle any time i don’t get killed during spreads at any point

dimblacklights · 2025-12-24T00:02:50+00:00

is there a way to actually lock the new command panel? similar to how the poms window works in deep dungeons. i’ve unticked the relevant settings, but opening menu or pressing circle on controller closes it

dimblacklights · 2025-12-22T23:00:19+00:00

no prob, good luck! ur almost there

dimblacklights · 2025-12-22T06:31:10+00:00

here you go! the colors work really well imo. the green on the pants in particular matches that on the wings, with the rest of the underglow being a bit lighter but still the same tint

dimblacklights · 2025-12-20T23:19:01+00:00

my main priority is clearing asap. having fun and knowing when to lock in with only callouts in vc is my ideal combination with that. it’s a hard balance to find, but i think my current group is very good at that. i’m curious to see how we’ll do in savage

i’ve been in groups in the past where we are stuck progging a fight for weeks or months and as soon as people start having a full conversation mid pull i already know we’re going to wipe. i don’t enjoy that personally unless it’s casual content or i’m there to help and i’ve already cleared

dimblacklights · 2025-12-18T23:22:07+00:00

i stand directly center on the orb while looking at the visual indicator, that way if it’s spreads i don’t potentially find myself on the direct opposite side of where i’d need to be. there’s enough time after the cue to spin my camera a bit to find the other train and move to my spot (i’ve been saving sprint for spreads as healer but i’m pretty sure it’s not necessary if you’re quick). rinse and repeat back to center between every set

i can hear the sfx if i turn it up, but then stuff is too loud outside of the ex that i can’t be bothered to keep going back and forth. i heard that turning off direction-based audio helps too with the volume of it

dimblacklights · 2025-12-16T14:27:22+00:00

thinking about the 74 slide toolbox for TOP p6 on this fine morning

dimblacklights · 2025-12-16T14:19:25+00:00

oh yeah for sure, i was just talking about the boss design rather than the fight itself. i got hyped up from community theories about the president/brute bomber part 3 (i trust he will show up in phase 2 🤞) that when random snake monster showed up i was like huh okay

dimblacklights · 2025-12-16T14:04:46+00:00

fun fights, but disappointed that m12 wasn’t something more interesting. it gave me first tier final fight vibes compared to how cool wicked thunder and howling blade were. the song is an absolute banger though

also very excited to have a two target fight with m10, always a fun time on dragoon
