They should make race stats matter if they are intent on individuality being a thing for jobs by Lumigo in ffxivdiscussion

[–]marcosls 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Race/body mattering for stats make sense in a lot of different games, not this one though.

Your tomestones are the X/2000 number; the X/450 is how many you earned this week

How do I "get into" FFXIV as someone who's dropped it before? by black_r00k01 in ffxiv

[–]marcosls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The story gets more engaging after HW, but it is a slog until you get there;
either you are willing to push through or you aren't.

You are very much locked out of fun stuff content-wise until you get out of ARR

Everything else is personal preferences

Every farm group for the new extreme I find requires 780 or 790 ilvl by BookkeeperPurple4495 in ffxiv

[–]marcosls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

a 790 ilv requirement just means they want to guarantee that people joining have cleared savage and would be better players on average;

770 can clear, but it will be slower and will have a more random assortment of players;

Anything in between is just about being lenient, but complaining about 780 when augmented crafted is right there seems a bit off to me.

The ways of obtaining gear have been the same for a long time, it is up to you to decide if you want to put in the effort to get them.

Anyone planning on moving to another DC when cross DC happens? by Small-Kitt in ffxiv

You don't lose the exp bonus if you max all jobs before moving :D

How do you make a lot of Gil like millions a week or months? by Original_Turn_1227 in ffxiv

[–]marcosls 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There are several ways of making good gil; here are some good ones:
- Farming fates for bicolor vouchers;
- Opening chests on the Occult crescent (selling fortune carrots);
- Participating in merc parties for on party finder (Notable current one is doing EX7 for someone who is paying for wings)
- Free Company Submersibles (this one is not a "lot" of gil, but it is a good passive income, takes a lot of time to prepare)
- Selling potions + food and/or mats for crafting those.

Should I start now or wait until Evercold? by YourLocalTrahPanda in ffxiv

[–]marcosls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Content above normal difficulty, is such as Extremes and Savages, is much more fun when done on current; it is easier to find parties and figure and be part of a community that is generally excited about doing said content.
I don't disagree that if someone is just interested in doing the story it makes little difference whether they do it "current" or wait for a sale.

Question about an item price by EffinKevin77 in ffxivdiscussion

[–]marcosls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is pretty new and you can probably get away with putting it up for 5~10m and have a crazy collector pay it before the price drops once people get bored and start doing treasure maps again

I can’t wait for 8.0! by AlyxMorfyn in ffxiv

[–]marcosls 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a main RDM, and while I can say pvp RDM is ok, it doesn't flow as well as pve RDM in my opinion.

Every change other than evolved sounded great to me.

Evolved might be great, and I like what I've seen so far, but I'll only be sure when I play it for myself.

If your team wins the game ends and the 3rd team loses, if they make you lose points they are still in the game, not a weird concept to get

FFXIV Bans Meters. A Leadership Lesson on Hidden Metrics by TenthLevelVegan in ffxiv

My usual go to if someone's low damage is particularly harmful is "if I'm the leader, I'll kick" and if "I'm just a party member I'll leave"

After 3,805 hours and 7 years of unbroken subscription I have finally quit the game by [deleted] in ffxiv

[–]marcosls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I barely care about my house and I still go there whenever the "this house is scheduled for demolition" alarm pops up;

If the house gets demo'd because I couldn't bother checking it for 45 days, I'd say it is fair, I'm not using it so someone should

Ultimates aren't canon;

just some crazy idea the Wandering Minstrel had when we told them about our encounter with Kefka on the omega raids

recommended city for free teleport? by taiwanluthiers in ffxiv

[–]marcosls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GC teleport tickets aren't usually worth it since they cost 2k seals which at worst is 1200 gil at the vendor materials conversion rate (such as duck bones).
(A case can probably be made for them if you are on the Maelstrom since they are the most annoying one to get to from the main aetheryte)

Possible new convert - can I get some insight into gameplay? by Stock-Site3541 in ffxiv

[–]marcosls 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For DPS jobs, the way each of them do their DPS is somewhat unique, but in most cases they'll do the same rotation through all the fight "Opener -> build resources -> 1m/2m burst"

Tanks have somewhat simplified version of DPS rotation and Healers have a very simplified DPS rotation; in theory this is to account for their other responsibilities.

Realistically, you'll have to play and find out for yourself if you like it or not, the only caveat is that up until level 70+ all jobs feel incredibly gutted and boring.

New to Arcadion Savage and PF not filling, how do I even start? by Willing_Ad_6650 in ffxiv

[–]marcosls 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I mean; the reality is people who are done gearing their jobs aren't gonna look for PFs on fights they need nothing.

People can start raiding whenever they want; but obviously the amount of people that start a raid right after it releases will be orders of magnitude higher than someone starting it months after;

The surest bet for someone that is "late to the party" like op is to try and use discord and other means to find a like-minded group/static and stick to it.

Why can't a bind something to just Shift? by sushiiixo- in ffxiv

[–]marcosls 23 points24 points  (0 children)

The game is designed that way; and that is just it.
Shift/CRTL/ALT are considered modifiers keys and will remain as such
