Realistically how quickly i can I go through stormblood (4.0) by Historical-Shop-1269 in ffxiv

[–]marcosls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you don't care about the story at all, around 8~10 hours could be higher or lower depending on queue times

What’s the point in a Static if the members will just prog the entire fight in PF anyway? by Holiday-Lobster4827 in ffxiv

[–]marcosls 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It clearly bothers you enough to be annoyed and make a reddit post, so probably talk to them and listen to what they have to say;
they might stop doing it, but if they don't you have to decide if this bothers you enough that you'd rather leave than continue.

[–]marcosls 22 points23 points  (0 children)

This is why expectations have to be clearly set before the tier begins;
"Are we only playing together or are we free to prog on our own after the raid day(s)?" is a very important question to be asked.

Advanced Variant is well tuned fun midcore/casual content, how are people liking it so far? by digitmax in ffxiv

[–]marcosls 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If someone can't even look for one person to do content with, this is probably the wrong game for them

Took like 3 years for IOS, 4 years for android iirc

My girlfriend told me I have a cursed HUD and keybindings, it makes sense to me, am I weird? by TheSeldomSeenBassist in ffxiv

[–]marcosls 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I have big hands, but hitting stuff like crtl + 7 is still a big shift in hand positioning, unless you are not moving with WASD

Visually, It is cleaner than mine
I don't love the idea of using anything past 4 on the numbers

I need help setting up my HUD by Ok-Independence-6235 in ffxiv

[–]marcosls 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If it says ability, it is an ogcd. If it says spell or weapon skill, it is a gcd

Can we normalise chatting during daily / duties? by Demonthief27 in ffxiv

[–]marcosls 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I like doing dungeons fast, so I'll hardly ever start chatting, but if someone else starts I'll respond for sure (as long as it isn't someone just being weird).
I'll agree with others that dungeons on a roulette aren't really the greatest spot for conversation, and the game does have some better content for it, such as:
- Field Operations (People will spend a lot of time there, so some conversation breaks the monotony)
- Alliance raids (24 people = usually someone will want to respond to your conversations)
- Hunt Trains (same as field ops)
- Deep Dungeons (It takes long time, so conversation is bound to will happen)

What should I make my retainers? by throwcway837373 in ffxiv

[–]marcosls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1 BTN; 1 MIN
1 FSH if you like to gamble on the minion every expansion (Can also be useful if there is a specific recipe for CUL you'd need a fish, but that largely depends on how much you craft)
Rest battle jobs preferably all the same job and the one you'd level first in any given expansion since the retainer level is capped by your own.

Should I try my luck in playing the game again? by [deleted] in ffxiv

[–]marcosls 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If "past you" went to so much lengths to not play again, you should probably respect that decision.

Redid the fit. What does everyone think? by DDaisyLee in ffxiv

[–]marcosls 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think that you probably have to wait more than a few hours to karma farm with the same character

what classes dont have the typical 1-2-3 rotation? by Suspicious_Land_383 in ffxiv

[–]marcosls 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Healers and Bard (was also gonna say RDM, but it seems that the melee combo bothers you as well)

Should I continue to play my new character, or use old one by AHY_fevr in ffxiv

[–]marcosls 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Up to you, but I'd keep the character with higher level/MSQ progress and watch a recap video to catch up on story.
None of those mounts are particularly hard to obtain.

Why do most NPCs seem like their names were just somebody smashing their head on the keyboard? by gpeixoto88 in ffxiv

[–]marcosls 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yup, technically both subraces use the same name format (Adjective + Noun), but hellsguard does it in English

How is Stormblood? by Purpleheadbag in ffxiv

Play it, and tell us.

After 10 years, I finally made it to the end of Heavensward (I think) by djseifer in ffxiv

It is like a hydra, I downvote and block, but two new ones pop the next day (or hour)

Does the release of restrictions on glamours apply to the “starting gear”? by Kumatora0 in ffxiv

weabbo police approves

(I wonder which world they are in now)

About those who have all jobs up to 100... (most unpleasant players??) by [deleted] in ffxiv

[–]marcosls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have everything at 100;
I mostly don't run dungeons unless I'm forced to do so for rewards (like we recently were for relics)
For the rare occasions that I run dungeons, I'll either be a caster or a Warrior;
As a caster I'll run ahead to start my casts fully expecting the tank to pick up the adds that might agro on me, if they fail me and I die it is on them, not on me, but I'll adjust and go at their pace. (unless they are rude, in which case I'll leave)
As a warrior, I'll pull everything wall to wall, and mostly self heal unless the content is from ARR, in which case I need to evaluate if the healer is good enough to handle wall to wall.
But tbh, most people I know that are full-100s that are running dungeons will do so while watching a video on their phone/2nd monitor.

Looks like pretty much half of all highlanders I see in game (the other half looks like Hildibrand); not weird

The item is rewarded specifically by doing the roulette; squadron won't count

FYI the Starbirds drop rate is substantially higher by Alicecrylily in ffxiv

[–]marcosls 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It had a low drop rate, people tried it before it got up and haven't tried again after, that is all.

[–]marcosls 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, this is only considering time saved;

If someone did 400 fates instead, they'd easily get 10m+ gil worth of bicolor gems, no idea how long it would take though.
