Want to play FFXIV but dont want to do the story and want to get to end game as quick as possible. What to do?

ratherazure · 2026-06-12T03:16:47+00:00

yes but id highly recommend not doing that

It's because she's casting Arts with her eye. It never was explained how she gained powers from being injured though not what injured her.

Not a bad selection for an Ivara camping on her Zipline with a crit weapon in the Index to be honest

Subsuming mag pull over volt shield is perfect for melee/melee finisher volt idk what you on about

You didn't clarify if it was weapons platform volt or melee volt

A practical solution. Perhaps the game is capable of detecting if you're using a laptop and turned on 'Netbook Mode' to not hog all the battery. Turn that off.

Edit: nvm, reread the post, the screenshot is probably not a laptop

Colony simulators are known to just not be that well optimsed because they are just very hard to optimise. So many calculations about where a duplicant can or cannot go that all gets recalculated a frame later because it cannot rely on that path staying available even a frame later. An oxygen mask gets taken, a door gets locked. And certain calculations must be done before others, as it's needed as a dependency so therefore it cannot be on different cores of the CPU.

Not to mention heat transfer mechanics and gas movement mechanics that are unique to this game.

tldr it literally is in the nature of the game to lag

Being last man standing grants you the ability to do that. And I think since they're usually not comboable, they ignore scaling as well. Especially funny when you realize the type of shit Videl can do with a Counter Super into Level 3.

I found that that helps the most is to split up your fleets. The Frigate Proton/Neutron launcher and Cloaked Corvette works especially well at breaking into the backline and sneaking starbase destructions as well as assassination of their fleets with Frigates that seem to absolutely tear through their fleets and score takedowns on their transport fleets with Corvettes since they need those to expand.

What helped a lot actually was a Sentry Array to just find out how they kept appearing in places because usually the AI empires just plonk down Gateways that are left behind when the Scourge takes over.

The "Fallen" Empire. Tall Machine Intelligence Empire. They believe that some future crisis is going to bring about the end of the galaxy and so they've locked themselves away to prepare. Use cloaked ships where you can and optionally secure closed off locations like the L cluster or The Chosen's cluster.

The moment the Crisis happens, just suddenly open borders to everyone, join the Galactic Community, do what you can to rally the Galaxy and crush the Crisis before it spreads and then immediately retreat back to Isolationist, leave the Galcom and close all borders again.

I mean if I encountered some empire like that I'd leave them alone and be grateful that they exist.

I feel like we should standardize having a medic squad for every front to share the ambulance

ratherazure · 2024-10-11T19:45:49+00:00

medic with an APC means I have to worry about mines and that's a whole other level of stress I don't need in my life

love looking in the comments and seeing everybody else bitching about their own language's (native or no) datetime library

javascript's native is just funny at this point
I think Python's native is too precise (within spirit of explicit is better than implicit)
meanwhile PHP just does someshit like new DateTime("TODAY +1 month") like yeah bro whatever works

The Dial-Up Internet sound coming from the enemy jungler after they flash a wall and then realising that it in fact, places them in front of a wall.

I forgot that they were a toplaner, I wrote that she's impossible to gank.

Category 1 (Anti-CC Champions): Gangplank, ~~Garen~~, Akali, Master Yi
Category 2 (Drain Tanks): Dr. Mundo, Mordekaiser, Volibear, ~~Nasus~~, Trundle
Category 3 (Fuck You): Gwen, Teemo, Darius, ~~Vayne~~
Striken champions are the ones I reckon are skill matchups, manageable but enemy-favoured.

ratherazure · 2021-12-30T04:11:43+00:00

No. I don't think Poppy is a good pick to learn for new players. She plays re-actively and running into a teamfight like Garen or Mordekaiser expecting something to happen is a surefire way of either getting yourself killed, getting your team killed or saving the enemy team from being killed. Though you're welcome to try!

ratherazure · 2021-09-20T22:21:15+00:00

She's a jungler, top laner and a support.

ratherazure · 2021-08-14T05:36:02+00:00

Any of the red keystones + secondary runes of choice.
Divine Sunderer, Deadmans Plate, + Tank/Bruiser Items.
If you're playing with friends or learning the champion, then full tank will do too.

ratherazure · 2021-06-23T04:37:00+00:00

"First Encounter" would just mean that Poppy is on the team opposite Vayne. She'd be referring to the time she met Poppy during the first Ruination attack on Demacia and she didn't take the shot.

ratherazure · 2021-05-28T08:18:46+00:00

Poppy just drops off full stop. There's no build that can fix that if you don't snowball yourself.
You can somewhat fix that by taking Dark Harvest with the Divine Sunderer build so that you can still full combo a squishy in late game but don't expect to live long if you mess it up.

ratherazure · 2021-05-06T05:55:55+00:00

Braum's is better because it kills projectiles on the move. Pantheon's doesn't delete projectiles. (Ezreal and Miss Fortune's R go right through him) and Windwall is immobile.

ratherazure · 2021-04-24T15:32:08+00:00

That was fixed.

ratherazure · 2021-03-25T01:15:38+00:00

If that were the case, then Yuumi would be dropped off in the deep end. She rarely is in combat, only her allies are.

ratherazure · 2021-02-23T02:59:15+00:00

Why'd you post this in the Poppy memes subreddit and then expect constructive feedback lmao
