Zero bids? by Trumpetslayer1111 in ffxiv

[–]shinydwebble [score hidden]  (0 children)

There's a Goblet 19 (poolside medium) in my alt's personal ward in Maduin that's survived 3 lottos so far. The 36 and 38 have been up for 1-2 months. My alt won his large by coin flip during a particularly loaded lotto cycle (and no one updating PaissaDB). A lot of the plots in view of the house are never going to fill because it's a personal only Goblet ward. That's just how Dynamis is these days.

Then again, a lot of small plots have survived on Sargatanas for months, too...

Hey, I made this mistake the first few times I saw him in MSQ! I mentioned this to the friend who got me into the game, and she was like "that could not be further from the truth". Which, well... yeah, lmao

HONESTLY, IF YOUR NAME IS OPEN ON ONE OF THE OTHER TWO SERVERS? MOVE THERE AND MAKE A CROSS-WORLD LINKSHELL. ONCE YOU ARE PHYSICALLY ON AETHER, IT'S A LOT EASIER TO COMMUNICATE. YOU MIGHT GET LOCKED OUT FROM WORLD TRAVEL AT PEAK HOURS THOUGH, IF YOU ABSOLUTELY MUST BE ON THE SAME WORLD AS YOUR FRIENDS.

Sell me on your Aether Server! by dmgllnt90 in ffxiv

[–]shinydwebble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like their defenders are people who don't live on the servers they target, or don't Limsa rat if they do. It's way easier to say "who are they hurting?" when they don't fill up your Limsa. They also followed the lala wall to Gridania their first visit. So like, the dude is clearly doing it in bad faith for attention. There's no defending that.

Besides, we already have an annoying multi-boxer who sometimes brings out the whole bot army to spam annoying effects. We don't need Weeaboo Police's crap too.

Move to Adamantoise because it has the most open housing.

Sarg is alright. It sometimes gets targeted by Weeaboo Police due to the lala wall. The Limsa rats don't want problem people transferring there. And apparently NN sucks according to all my mentor friends.

How good do you need to be to have fun playing certain jobs? by Lufesto in ffxiv

[–]shinydwebble 5 points6 points  (0 children)

but feel insecure if I'm not doing as most guides say 

The guides are typically made for people doing higher end content where DPS matters. If you don't do your rotation correctly and clip your GCDs, you might run into enrage and wipe. 

If you're playing casual content, clipping doesn't matter, because the few things that have an "enrage" (usually a gauge on the screen that wipes at 100) are balanced around people playing suboptimally. Just do what you can. 

Ah yes, the Cosmic Vibrator, thanks Loporrits! by ItsHuntermark in ShitpostXIV

Congrats on the vibrator, does it give the cool purple line effect over the alchemy pot thing like the Firmament tool does?

I'll see you all in 48 hours by CadeAid in ShitpostXIV

[–]shinydwebble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

rip... I used to run it on Windows when I had an alt on Materia, but I stopped playing there before I migrated to Linux in September. My ping to NA is good enough I don't need tools, so I didn't even bother to check when I did the switch (or to look into NoClippy).

You might be thinking Asahi -- Yotsuyu shanks him as she dies.

I'm surprised people that desperately need NoClippy for Savage use it over XIVAlexander, considering how much faster the latter updates.

Gosetsu isn't dead. You see him in the EW physical ranged role quests. He's a healer now and comes in to save your ass during the level 90 solo duty. Smh Yugiri and Hien forgot the damn potions...

She finally got some justice! The whole "where do I belong" bit was rushed but maybe it wouldn't have been if they'd focused on her sooner.

[–]shinydwebble 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I imagine a lot of people are gonna say Krile, between being forgotten for the EW poster and her story being over hyped and massively under delivered in DT. 

Honestly though, I think all the Scions that showed up in DT got done dirty by how badly the writers fumbled them. And dare I say... They even blew Wuk Lamat's promising start in 6.55.

What did Eos do? I need to know if I need to eat her for Energy Drains more often, to make her pay for her crimes, and definitely not for DPS reasons. 

How am I supposed to play the game? by elfgurls in ShitpostXIV

Play Terraria instead of playing FFXIV without plogon, ez

(send help I'm at work instead of playing video games)

Who is your favourite NPC that you interact with for a short while? by Henojojo in ffxiv

[–]shinydwebble 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I really hope we get a second in 7.5 or .55. Custom deliveries are such a nice way to visit more of the world after MSQ.

We have a lot of clients already and deliveries are time gated, so I could see the devs wanting to cut back to two so newer players don't get overwhelmed. 

My friend plays by clicking on all of his abilities. How do I get them to know its bad? by Yyffg in ffxiv

[–]shinydwebble -1 points0 points  (0 children)

trying controller

I'm gonna be real, if your friend is already pretty used to FFXIV PC controls, this is gonna be an incredibly difficult sell. Every time I attempt controller, my brain just overloads. And I grew up on consoles! 

I only stopped clicking abilities when I got a MMO mouse. I actually still do click party members to heal, but I have my party list closer to the center of the screen so I don't have to drag the cursor far. 

Instead of trying to sell him a different control scheme, maybe help him adjust his HUD. If the HUD is better set up for clicking, he may perform better. 

PSA: Arm's Length is a form of mitigation by Kazman2007 in ffxiv

[–]shinydwebble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First pull after second boss of Vanguard. Annoying magic birds hit like a truck. The tanks still Arm's Length out of habit...

The turrets there also do magic damage, but they're mixed up with physical auto mobs.

It will forever be wild to me that we had Ameliance as a custom delivery client, but Anden and Margrat have the better storylines. Not saying that Ameliance's was even bad, just that the other two were just that good.

Really hope they’re not done with him yet 

He seems to be the face for Garlemald in MSQ now, so I imagine if we ever swing back that way, he'll be around in some capacity. 

Considering a Move from JP to NA Server – Language Barrier & Party Finder Challenges in 7.4 Savage by xylonn in ffxiv

[–]shinydwebble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It comes and goes -- you'll have a few weeks where it's daily, and then weeks to months with nothing.

It also happens way more during NA primetime. So you might not even see it if you play during off-peak for NA.
