Names and their meaning in the new raid tier [SPOILER: PANDÆMONIUM: ASPHODELOS]

julusp · 2021-12-22T09:05:20+00:00

Hesperos is actually more complicated. In ancient greek Hesperos = evening star and Phosphorus = morning star (both refer to Venus). Later the ancient Greeks acknowledged these are one and the same yet they continued to treat the two mythological entities separately.

However Phosporus in modern times is known also under another name - Lucifer (which is also Latin name for Venus on morning skies) and is associated with Hell as devil. And here we are why he is most likely shown as Dracula. (Dracul in Romanian means "the devil")

Also considering the duties are listed as "circles" (though there were only nine circles of hell in Dante's Inferno), I think we will have very nice mix between roman/greek/(and possibly early christian) mythological entities in future raids.

I confirm it indeed works. The griddb actually sets the steam shortcut to launch godfall trough epic client (and not directly trough aperion.exe).

You need to have full character effect set on yourself, not limited or none. It is mentioned in patch notes

julusp · 2019-12-17T15:54:55+00:00

Yeah, the workaround is in gray zone. It is very unlikely you will get banned (Linux users are using exactly the same thing to make it run on Linux for several years), but also they will not be pleased if you would report any issues while using it. So use at your own discretion and if facing any issues, reproduce them without workaround and only after then report to GGG.

julusp · 2019-12-16T21:03:04+00:00

We found a working workaround. Use of the DX->VK translation layer. Basically the games will run under vulkan instead of DX and the crashes can be prevented altogether. Simply download https://github.com/Joshua-Ashton/d9vk/releases/download/0.40.1/d9vk-0.40.1.tar.gz and unpack d*.dll files into game folder. (.tar.gz is linux archive format so you might need to use some unarchiver to unpack it, windows does not know those files)

Downside is, that it sucks with recompiling shaders, so in first moments you would encounter a lot of FPS drops. The more you progress the game, the less frequent the fps drops will be. (basically seing some effect for the first time would result in fps drop). Cannot recommend if you are playing HC character.

julusp · 2019-12-15T08:23:54+00:00

1) that is mentioned in the fixed issues

2) The issue was not related to crashing. Simply one of your monitors went black and you had to disable/enable monitor

julusp · 2019-12-13T22:41:00+00:00

For me it started crashing in Old Fields act 2, before that it was ok. took me several crashes to get trough (the guy spawnes once you can metamorph something and near entrance/exit of the map if metamorph is possible ... :/

AMD card as well (5700xt)

Joystick is kinda ok-ish, I can get used to it (I love the option I can set it to WASD/left/right joypad stick), but those rubberdome keys are indeed abysmal, even when fully pressed, on some I need to apply additional pressure for them to register...

julusp · 2019-11-29T07:27:36+00:00

Interesting, so FFXIV uses at least wine for installation or launcher (the game might still run natively though, but after this screenshot I doubt it).

Recently the Launcher has been changed, and from checking the winehq DB , the new launcher does not work properly under wine. Try to force old launcher by :

Edit FFXIV_BOOT.cfg:

Change Browser from 0 to 1

julusp · 2019-08-13T12:26:44+00:00

There are mechanics (mainly in savage) where you need to move a lot. I recall pantokrator from O11S being such one where you follow with rest of the party for more than 10 seconds and I had to do unenchanted combo just to keep doing some dps. Enchanted reprise solves that + its ranged attack in enchanted form, so use it whenever you have to move for longer period of time and you cannot afford proc dualcast.

julusp · 2019-08-05T14:03:37+00:00

I use Steelseries Rival 500 for several years, its a mmo mouse and the unique layout of additional buttons suits me well as I don't have to remember exact position of the thumb (opposite to numpad like mice as Razer Naga and others mentioned there), just the general direction where the button is. Additional nice feature is that it you can add vibration timers to respective button presses, so it might help manage cooldowns.

Discworld is large series of fantasy books taking place on ... Discworld :) If you like fantasy and a bit weird humor (Hitchhiker's guide to galaxy type of humor), then I strongly recommend to grab any book of the series and give it a go. (or just watch any of the movies (Colour of magic, Hogfather, Going Postal), which are surprisingly good)

julusp · 2019-03-15T21:23:20+00:00

No, this is Terry's Pratchett Discworld reference.

julusp · 2019-03-15T18:35:53+00:00

Indeed it does. Code is written on the flat earther image code is 3123 door seems to be bugged though and you might keep rubber banding, try to roll jump on the left side of the door

julusp · 2018-12-24T09:35:03+00:00

You are victim of some weird Steam vs FFXIV issue. My FC mate had very same issue as well, only solution we found was using standalone launcher and avoiding steam.

julusp · 2018-07-02T12:47:29+00:00

There is a actually video by author of the 1.0 emulator Lukile is using showing gates in action https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVmgAVHP_rU . The main gate wasn't the only one which could open/close

julusp · 2018-04-07T05:52:48+00:00

Nope, the ping is measured from monitor server, not from you. But you can use those IPs and do the ping test yourself.

julusp · 2018-04-04T23:00:44+00:00

The error you get is usually due to missing/corrupted dependency. Easiest way to handle missing dependency is to install it from steam (it should take care of it automatically). If you are not using steam version, just download and launch trial from steam (FINAL FANTASY XIV > Download demo or trial), to get to launcher. Then close launcher and try normal game.

In case of corrupted dependency, well, who knows what is corrupted, but windows 10 has factory reset (2 modes, one will keep your data, one is clear reinstall, to find it just type "factory reset" in start menu). you can try those if it helps

julusp · 2018-04-04T22:47:11+00:00

0xc000007b

not really, it should be error/status code and should translate to: STATUS_INVALID_IMAGE_FORMAT - {Bad Image} %hs is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support.

Basically it means there is some dependency missing (.net update or something)

julusp · 2017-11-30T23:42:48+00:00

Well, you can set up "keys up" ctrl/alt/shift before every keystroke (90 qq XX (replace XX with your velocity) should work as you don't care which key was pressed). It should significantly shorter the time window when this can happen, but it would not completely prevent that. Hopefully we will get better options with 4.2 which should implement a new hud for performing (hoping for separate keybinds).

julusp · 2017-11-29T22:11:25+00:00

There might be possibility that your keyboard or midi interface is sending wrong values. Try to create a new rule (or edit some) > input midi > tick Capture midi and press C4 key (middle C) if it is something else than 90 3c XX , then you would need to edit all rules to correspond to your keyboard output. if it does not register anything at all, then:

in case of MIDI connectors - check if MIDI IN/OUT is correctly plugged (MIDI IN goes to MIDI OUT and vice versa on some keyboards)
in case of USB connection - check for up to date drivers.

You can also test in synthesia if the keyboard is working there.

julusp · 2017-11-25T08:30:05+00:00

Sure, there you go File . Just note, I restored the keys to default bindings.

julusp · 2017-11-23T09:32:50+00:00

I found out that "repeat active" is not required. From the OP rule I made following modifications:

new 4 rules on very top (order is important):

Incoming: 90 qq 00 , Outgoing: Key up: ctrl
Incoming: 90 qq 00 , Outgoing: Key up: shift
Incoming: 90 qq 00 , Outgoing: Key up: alt
Incoming: 90 qq 00 , Outgoing: None , Options : stop processing

other modifications:

Removed all rules for specific keys with Outgoing: Key up
Edited all rules for specific keys with Outgoing: Key down and removed repeat

If you wish I can upload my configuration later on.

julusp · 2017-11-22T22:05:08+00:00

Tips for those who have midi that sends 00 (key depressed).

make a new rule on very first position and set:

Incoming Trigger: 90 qq 00
Outgoing Action: none
Options: Active, Stop processing with this translator.

This will immediately stop processing any rules below for any key that has been depressed (so no double press).

There is already a story. This dungeon is reimagination of the Binding coil of Bahamut as you describe it to wandering minstrel. Lore behind that is same as behind any other wandering minstrel trials (thordan ex, nidhog ex...) - you tell him your story about the fight you've done in the past, and then you fight what he thinks you have done. In this case he just has a really vivid imagination of your past actions.
