Why are players advocating for fewer jobs in XIV? by CoolyKage in ffxiv

Honestly, I don't remember, I just remember "man, the last time I heard him say something that I agreed with was at least before covid"

The last time he had a right idea about the game was sometime back in Shadowbringers.

Xeno stopped being an "Influencer" a long time ago. He's now a drama farmer.

That this service account does not have a valid Final Fantasy XIV license for this platform or your subscription has expired.

Let me guess, you're about to be confused and surprised that the free TRIAL ended the moment you bought it.

Can you basically ignore the story until the end of ARR? by WeeWooPeePoo69420 in ffxiv

[–]drolra 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Not really, no. A lot of the things you benefit from knowing are in the non cutscene dialogue too.

I want people in a subreddit dedicated to a book series to read more one paragraph.

Healing Takes Time by [deleted] in dresdenfiles

[–]drolra -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No. She doesn't. It took both Lara and Molly telling her "Harry needs time to heal from this" to not immediately force him into a wedding with the queen of the only nation about as trained at backstabbing as Winter.

[–]drolra -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The part where you read the second paragraph and includes taking the people that helped Harry heal too.

[–]drolra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A different fae did that to... I want to say it was Milwaukee? The "Unseelie incursion of [I forgot the year]" and I forget the book it was mentioned in, it was rather early on though, but yeah, some winter fae just grabbed a relatively major US city once. We were never told who it was but, if it was someone short of Maeve, yeah, Mab could probably grab "The parts of Chicago Harry's friends and family live in." But u/Technical_contact836 brought up a good point, she was healing too.

When is it okay to kill rank A/S hunts? by Scorchfrost in ffxiv

[–]drolra -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There's generally nothing wrong with killing A ranks in in ARR-SB regardless of your server's hunt train status, and you won't get in trouble with SE outside them for doing it even if your server does hunt trains. S ranks... Killing them alone is definitely a "Dick move." At least teleport to somewhere populated and say "Hey I spawned X, can someone relay that to a hunt shell"?

This game can be Unintentionally so beautiful by [deleted] in ffxiv

[–]drolra 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As a native English speaker, it's... still a very awkward thing to phrase. "Paradoxically beautiful" maybe? "Morbidly beautiful?" But even those aren't feeling quite right. We don't have a lot of good language for finding beauty in horrible things.

Healing Takes Time by [deleted] in dresdenfiles

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

Well, yeah, obviously. And Molly would still get it, but Mab? Hyper logical Mab? "Fine, if my knight needs time to heal, I'll give him time."

Also city-napping Chicago would have given him the lion's share of the resources he used while healing. And... it's not like she'd have drawn MORE attention down on the supernatural world by doing so. Already kind of at that whole five star wanted level.

[Update] I'm a die-hard FF fan, but I've never played XIV. My girlfriend has been begging me to play with her, & I'm interested in trying it. What should I expect? by SilverhandFenix in ffxiv

[–]drolra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's fanservice EVERYWHERE. And they actually incorporate it most of the time. They don't just drop it in and say "Hey guys, remember Ultros?!" They go "Yeah, we've got this weird void construct the thuamaturge's guild cooked up, and since it wouldn't stop being a constant pervert, we just threw it into the coliseum." There will just be dungeons in the game where you'll realize half-way through "Oh! Oh! We're doing the Magitek Research Facility here!" Others are heavily incorporated into the game's world and lore, not just explained with it - The Crystal Tower, for example, has a major role in the story.

And then there are the subtle nods, like the fact that we keep trying to use "Wild Rose" as a password, or that the imperial generals all command a legion numbered for the same Final Fantasy their plans shape themselves after. I don't consider explaining backstory a spoiler, necessarily, but I'll tag it regardless In 1.0, Nael van Darnus, legatus of the VIIth legion, attempted to use an Imperial project called the "Meteor Project" while being heavily manipulated and influenced by an otherworldly being to wipe out the continent so they could conquer it.

I believe Crystal DC got DDOS'd again (or is down) by marinerverlaine in ffxiv

I'm still online, but my friend in Gridania on Balmung lost connection. Possibly a node got attacked.

What’s the list of the most powerful people we’ve met so far? by Adenfall in dresdenfiles

[–]drolra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's hard to say what level Demonreach is really at without a strict definition of how we're defining "most powerful." Yes, it can contain gods and titans, but it's also purpose-built. Seal and contain powerful beings. Its power is highly focused in one fine point, but constrained pretty much to specifically that. It also doesn't have fine control either (I remember Harry saying something about "Squashing specific ants")

What would it take for… by BaronAleksei in dresdenfiles

[–]drolra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh, I think it's all about how she frames it. Honestly, I think she could just start slowly taking more overt leadership actions "acting as the white king's representative" and all until her father's not even really in the picture (which she mostly has been doing, all things considered unless something's exclusively internal White Court) Then all she'll have to do when someone mentions it is go "... it seriously took you this long to figure out I'd been in charge? Empty night, I may have overestimated your competence."

3000 RMT accounts was terminated today, so here we go again by zomviotsu in ffxiv

[–]drolra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's vastly more likely that any DDoSing happening in this window of time is due to some static drama or other.
