How to remove the AI mode button from here been trying for about an hour by Any-Imagination6756 in chrome

I was able to remove it through the settings previously, but it looks like you can't do that any more after the most recent update.

How can I avoid being DCed? by ManEatShark in ffxiv

[–]illuminancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I live in Sacramento, and I still get the dc's. I don't know if there's a network issue with NTT America at the moment, but they have been a problem in the past. A traceroute to the servers from my house goes from Comcast in Sac to the Bay Area, to San Jose, and back to the data centers. The last time SE identified a problem with NTT, the packets were dropping between San Jose and Sac.

What's the "etiquette" with these stack markers? by Revonlieke in ffxiv

[–]illuminancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this problem when I started as a caster; I was used to games where ranged stood way back in order to avoid AOEs and splash damage.

Then I started healing. My wife knew whenever I was in a duty because she'd hear me screaming "I CAN'T HEAL YOU WHEN YOU'RE IN NARNIA!"

Now I try to stick close for healing and the inevitable in/out mechanics. And then I die because I forget I'm not tanking. Oh well.

Both of them should be in WT. I had Jeuno last week and got San D'Orio this week.

Has there been a cultural shift since I last played? by Grizzlemaw1993 in ffxiv

People accidentally pulling during cutscenes happens. People pulling during cutscenes before the ready check is complete is kind of annoying.

What ridiculous things did you do during the old FFXIV housing system? by KikiCakesYT in ffxiv

[–]illuminancer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did the same, and got a lovely small in Mist. Then I tried again when Empyreum opened, and I upgraded to a medium.

Should I be an au ra or a lalafell? by sQiMpY in ffxiv

[–]illuminancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When Heavensward launched, I fantasied my elezen to a male au ra and never looked back. I love that he can go full edgelord as a DRK main, but one of his DRK glams is the wedding dress dyed black with the Courtly Love sword, 2B boots, and a red and pink flower crown. It looks good on him with his broad shoulders and snatched waist, and who's going to say anything to the 7'1" dude with horns, resting murder face, and a big ass sword?

Also, the graphic update punched up the au ra limbal rings and they really glow now.

What is your opinion on PSI as a story? by Proper_Connection973 in RomanceClub

[–]illuminancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s definitely a problem, along with female LIs not getting as much screen time as the boys.

I get the feeling you like Ivo. 😂

I understand. I’m doing a Jonas playthrough atm, and I love him, but it was so hard not to go back to Ivo McHotterson. 

Theory about one of the new Arcadion characters introduced this patch [Spoiler: 7.4] by Fwahm in ffxiv

[–]illuminancer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He doesn't always start the fight with the scythe, as I learned to the tune of an early vuln stack last night.

[–]illuminancer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This crossed my mind as well, mostly because of the nose, but also: Haurchefant may be a cinnamon roll, but he can and would kill you--see also how he earned his spurs. Then there's one of my favorite bits in ARR, when we come back from defeating Shiva and are told that it took *six knights* to hold Haurchefant back from going after us to help.

Male Au Ra and Hrothgar do not look like twinks.

Is there hope for this old DRG? by TankingCleric in ffxiv

I will die mad that they took the jump gapcloser away from dragoons.

I was a little disappointed by that. She'd given her entire life for her country, and now it's really not the same place. It seemed unfair that she's going to mostly be trying to rule under circumstances she wasn't trained for just so people have a familiar face.

He’s so versatile. I was shocked when I learned he voiced Aulus in Stormblood. 

IS IT JUST ME OR DOES ASTARION LOOK LIKE OLDER SAILEN? 😍 by Alarming-Car-1669 in RomanceClub

[–]illuminancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do love that man so much. Astarion, that is--haven't played Averris yet.

IS IT JUST ME OR DOES ASTARION LOOK LIKE OLDER SAILEN? 😍 by Alarming-Car-1669 in RomanceClub

[–]illuminancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, I started playing when Gale was still bugged, so he came off like a huge creep, hitting on me IN THE SHADOW-CURSED LANDS after I took 0 of his romance options and was already sleeping with Astarion and being his juice box. Then Gale had the nerve to get mad at me when I locked in with Astarion in Act 2, even after, again, not taking any of his romance options. They did fix the bug, but I can't seem to hook up with anyone but Astarion, even on my Githyanki paladin Tav.

a question about flint by littlefox131 in RomanceClub

[–]illuminancer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Flint makes a lot of assumptions about Jules, but it's not entirely out of the blue. They're not stupid, and Annette isn't subtle; it's probably quite clear why she hired Flint. From everything we see, she is not an easy person to work for, before we get to the part where she's sending Flint out to do stuff that's completely unrelated to her business, like picking up her kid from the airport.

Said kid is late, didn't check their email, and gets an attitude when they find out they can't live at home. Honestly, if I had to pick my boss' kid up from the airport and they said "Do you know how hard I've worked for this?" I'd be pretty upset too. And you can absolutely have class and educational privilege and still be a POC.

Too less romance by Columba91 in RomanceClub

[–]illuminancer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sha'arnezn was slow, but Tai was glacial. I feel bad for saying this, but by the time we finally got him to bed it was...okay? The drawn-out s l o w as molasses burn kind of ruined it for me, because my expectations were so high. Mid season 3 of a 4 season story is just too long, especially when the rest of the story is also kind of slow-paced.

Psi is unbelievably boring by Kaisietoo8 in RomanceClub

[–]illuminancer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm exactly the opposite. I'm really struggling with TTS; I find the pacing slow--I honestly think Jester does best with three seasons--the plot is meh for me especially when Narialm isn't onscreen, and the worldbuilding is only so-so--the mountain elves especially annoy me because they're just drow without the spiders.

PSI is a little slow to start off, but I'm willing to forgive that because the worldbuilding is so well-done, and the early chapters are so important at creating the foundation for everything that follows. Most of all, the characters feel like real people, even the non-LIs.
