>NIdhogg Nidhogg Nidhogg. Some of the community wants "challenging content" which is available in extreme. What about normal. All i want to do is clear it once to finish the msq. But after too many damm attempts yesterday and today i've realize i have to wait for everyone else to formulate stratagies gear etc. What is wrong with clearing normal in one day if you want challenging content do extreme or savage to your hearts content. There is no way a 205 ilvl could clear nidhogg the dps check in the first phase eliminates that.
>Does ozuma need to drop meteors?? Why make this t9 all over again. You could at least take one metoro drop away from each group. Barely enough room on that platform. Why does the last boss in weeping practically have an instacast that covers half the room.


These are people that are playing this game with you

>Does ozma need to drop meteors?

jesus

They finally added normal content that is not completely steamrolled and these retards are too stupid to put any effert into using brain.

If they nerf this in next patch I am done.

Pity I have no idea how to handle the AoE clusterfuck that is Dragonfire Dive (as a healer). I'm being targeted by 4 different mechanics at once. It's all I can do to keep myself alive, let alone everyone else.

yeah......
>>
>>340873565

To be fair steps of faith was fucking broken and nobody wanted to run it more than once.

The main problem wasn't so much difficulty as pace though. It needed a "give up" button because even if you fucked up in the beginning, you had to wait 10 minutes for the dragon to smash the fucking gate before trying again.

People with kids? I don't know. It's annoying when you're in a farm party and some guy goes "brb kid wants some food" They can't help it but an MMO would be the last thing I'd want to play if I had kids. It's way too common in FFXIV where some parent goes into a farm party and think others will wait for him to make his kid lunch.

Started the game a couple of days ago again and I honestly don't understand why Square Enix keeps caving to that deadweight.

The game is piss easy now, instances are nothing. Extreme variants of instances are what used to be the regular difficulty instances. I also leveled from 1 - 60 in 2 days, you just follow the main quest and never have to do a single sidequest or anything. Hell, your ilvl can be synced up if you're lacking.
This game feels incredibly dumbed down compared to the release verison, I just wanted to play a challenging mmorpg again.
>>
>>340876719
>your ilvl can be synced up

That's not how it works
>>
>>340876867
It is how it works, you enter with the free ilvl 180 gear and then switch the set to a lower one with more specific stats. Instead of balanced hybrid stats, you now have the equivallent of an Alex set for absolutely zero work.
>>
>>340876024
>>people can't tell wings from tail apart
That's one issue I haven't experienced yet.
I've yet to clear, and despite two full days of attempts have yet to even see fireballs. People just keep dying over and over to divebombs or from stacking targeted AoEs.

Anyone have any tips for healing Dragonfire Dive, particularly with regards to movement? I've watched the Mr. Happy video but it's almost useless if you're not a DPS.
I know I need to move to one of the top corners but everything after that is a blur of AoEs and people exploding to said AoEs.
>>
>people wiping on Nidhogg normal

There is literally one (ONE) mechanic in the entire fight and it's just a DPS check. The rreet is just dodging AoEs. Oh and a stack, I guess.
>>
One feature they added that's been a huge success so far is Aquapolis. My FC is out doing stuff together and chatting over voice chat for the first time in months, and I regularly see 2-3 parties out doing the same thing when we're out map hunting. It probably won't last forever but for now at least it's a really fun little distraction.

Why the fuck is this allowed? Shitters knowing they're shitters doesn't seem to send them into suicidal depression, just look at how many bad players in WoW use damage meters.

The whole system makes no fucking sense, a new 60 in FFXIV could potentially be a great player but he doesn't even know he sucks because no one can tell him. They add a fucking mentor system and then limit it so that only people who don't need the help (sprouts) can use it, even though max level is when people really need guidance.

They couldn't add a parser even if they wanted to; implementing TP bars alone forced them to cannabalise memory previously allocated to displaying the current active party buffs, because of the PS3s laughable RAM.

What does the raiding in this have over WoW? Serious question, the 4 bosses per tier thing is really off putting
>>
>>340890258
they could play the first one
>>
Once you make the high tiers of an MMO easy, it's over. When everyone can get in first place, there's no feeling of accomplishment. Look at WoW, with LFR turning it into little more than a facebook game.

If you can't beat it, then git gud. Hell, in an MMO, you don't even need to git gud, you can just grind out better gear and git decent, average, even. While WoW's 1% seeing Naxramus was a bit much, you want to keep the final bosses feeling like they're an ass and a half to make clearing them that much more satisfying.

SE has been pretty bad about making newly introduced content balanced for all applicable classes and combinations et cetera.

I remember when Garuda EX first came out and Melee DPS was basically not an option with how the fight was and the top gear available at the time.

Of course as higher gear becomes available the classes/archetypes that were overlooked in the encounter design slowly become acceptable, but it's still pretty shit.
>>

Even older dungeons can still be challenging if you play them with bad gear and 4 people who are genuinely new to the game.

The problem is that there's only ever a constant amount of difficult content, with old hard content being nerfed and just replaced with new ones, instead of being built upon so that there's a large amount of content that's both difficult and rewarding.

It's really not too much to ask for the stuff added a year or so ago to be complimentary to the things added recently, but that's just not the case and probably never will be, because this game has 0 future proofing as is blatantly obvious in nearly every step of development.

It was 1 thing to not have a damage meter in shit like FFXI, where you're more focused on just surviving encounters first and foremost, but for FFXIV it makes no sense because if you aren't meeting a DPS threshold then you're basically worthless.

>>340905467
To be honest, healer quality is complete shit in this game. Every DF content in 3.3 can be solo healed easily but most healers can not cope with the fact that they have to actually heal now. And not just throw a Medica at random but actually make sure people are above 10k HP at certain points.
>>
Nidhogg will definitely get nerfed, it's just a question of when. It sucks because the fight isn't even hard, it just has aoes that are actually lethal, but all you have to do is dodge them.

FC member asked for help clearing it. Guy lives in fucking Singapore and plays on US servers. He's never clearing that shit because he gets hit by every. single. aoe. He's a healer too.

Lala proportions are seriously disgusting.

They're like 2 cones stacked on each other, and gear looks retarded on them as a result.

You'd think that lazy hack YoshiP would have made them look better since he changed everything else to make gear fit all races easier, which spoilers is why all the races have no ass, and tails just clip out of gear instead of having holes.

Titty HM is done in under five minutes with randos because the iL of gear that can be used in it is about 3x what the average iL was when it was new.

Content gets obsolete because they're firmly married to the gear treadmill.

They're also firmly married to the idea that diversity in gear stats (Like in FFXI) would be a bad thing, because it would "force" people to have specific gear to do specific content.

You can still make a pretty decent 'wild' Miqo. And you'd be pretty much like how the lore envisions the majority of them. Can't be helped that most player make them ultra kawaii with pink, flowing hair and shit like that.

But the thing is that if raids were more focused on individual skill than team jumprope then they would be far too easy because lets be honest here, the only thing difficult about modern MMOs is getting together 8/10/24 other people who don't have mental disabilities.

The problem is adding options that allow people to make anime waifus instead of the actual game race, because that's literally all anyone does.

They were, but they also had a culture that played into their nation as a whole.

Which is the real weak point of XIV, even in 1.0.
The nation states don't have a personality. They have a characature. Ul'dah is vaugely arabic, Gridania is hippies. And Limsa is Pirates.

Bastok was a nation undergoing an industrial revolution, populated mainly by the humes, the Galka were treated as something of second class citizens. Which was a big part of that national storyline.

San d'Oria is a proud kingdom, but one that is at it's breaking point as it's traditions are starting to become its undoing.

Windurst is the city of magic. Somewhat in tune with nature, but also quite keep with artifice.
Unlike the racial strife of Bastok, or the nearly entirely Elvaan Sand'Oria, the Mithra and Taru seemed to have a strong working relationship... if something of an antagonistic sibling one.

But, that's the problem. The National story lines in XI had a rather long stretch of levels and quests to flesh their story out.

In XIV, they all combine at level ten, when they unlock your ability to use the airships.
>>
>>340920892
Plenty of newer gear has places for tails too. Of course, given the number of characters with tails, it should be 100% (and it should also take account of the fact that some tails are in slightly different positions). They lean way too heavily on robes and buttcapes for a game where half the player base has tails to contend with.

But then they just look like 6 year olds with tiny heads instead of just being small and cute.

At least with the Taru designs they bridged a gap between looking cute and being cool, but with Lalas they just went full cute, and it looks fucking weird.

I mean, I have a lala because I found a way to make them look good, but 99% of the ones I see running around look like huge weirdos.
>>
>>340921782
The beautiful part is that they'd just need an extra flap of model hooked to the top of the tail.

>San d'Oria is a proud kingdom, but one that is at it's breaking point as it's traditions are starting to become its undoing.

>Bastok was a nation undergoing an industrial revolution, populated mainly by the humes, the Galka were treated as something of second class citizens. Which was a big part of that national storyline.

Ul'Dah, but instead of an industrial revolution you have one of wealth and traditional royalty vs. merchants. Also refugees of a lost state are treated as second class citizens. Third class actually, seeing that the local Potatos are treating the other Ul'Dah citizens like shit.

Limsa is a bunch of pirates, trying to reform and become an actual nation, building upon the honor and code of pirates.

But the story is fleshed out for XIV. it is just that aside of the MSQ people rarely read the quests.

XI had a great story, but please remember than it had 10+ years to build it up. XIV is a new player in that regard.
>>
>>340922048

>>340922320
I'd prefer if they made all robes divided or stopped trying to make everyone wear dresses all the time, but that would work too. Or, you know, just give tail races a button that lets them hide it. Say they wrap it around their waist or something. The technology obviously exists if there are already a couple outfits in the game that hide tails.

They're salty because it doesn't quench their unrelenting autism. They'd rather need a full alliance that takes 2-4 hours to assemble and then spend the next 2-4 hours to complete a job quest, then go LFG or wait for their static for another hour just to earn a few thousand xp that takes another 2-4 hours only to die and have to spend another couple hours to level their character back up.

>>340925143

IMO they should only ad one thing.
Make the Acceleration Bomb during Ozma do slightly less damage but inflict paralysis if you move at the end. People never notice the fucking debuff because the healers pamper their asses and they don't see that it does a shitload of damage.

>>340926037
Bomb should instant kill your sorry ass if you move with it at all. SE has to teach player at some point that they need to watch their debuff bar.

>>
>>340925582
The only thing I think might benefit from a little change is Ozma's bomb debuff, which can be somewhat easy to miss with all the other flashy shit going on at the same time. In JP groups, that seems to be the main killer of party members who know the mechanics. They could make it more visible if they cared about that kind of thing.

Is it too much to ask for a happy medium between XI's endless grind that focuses entirely on socializing, and XIV's ability to blow through the entire game in a month and a half without ever having to really speak to another human being ever?

Honestly I'd rather be playing XI's system where you can basically hang out and chat with people in parties while grinding stuff, as opposed to running the same scripted dungeon or instance for the 50000 time with a bunch of deaf mutes since everyone is busy fighting their hotbars.

I just want to take it easy again.

That's why I love this game. I definitely expect to cry during the anniversary event. I cried last year. You can tell the developers behind this game have a passion for what they're making. If they didn't, they couldn't make things that are so emotionally powerful, things that have so much heart to them.

They need less gil to be concentrated in the hands of a few people. The aquapolis looks more like leveling to me. Inflation is much easier to deal with than high wealth variation.
What they really need to be focusing on is making crafting less of an exclusive club, of course.
>>
>>340928374
Yes and no.

Gil is pretty much useless. If you have the hand/land leveled up, it's just a time saver, and at that not much of one since everything but timed mats is dirt cheap, but also exceedingly easy to get in massive amounts.

Similarly, everything but bleeding edge raid gear and brand-spanking new, rare material cosmetics are cheap too.

Hell, housing was set at the prices it was to try to drain out gil... because Yoshi's an idiot.

I've made like 8 mil casually since patch day.

New housing/flower pots make soil and specific seeds expensive as fuck to sell.

New atherial reduction materials aren't even hidden and reduce to sand that sells for 80k a pop.

Ixal dailies hand out materia worth over 100k each.

New crafting and gathering gear has made certain old mats expensive as fuck too.

I'm sure it'll all die down but by then I'll have made bank.

I know that you dumb cunt, what I'm saying is there needs to be an actual reward for doing these quests.

Exactly. It's expensive, but the actual mechanics are perfectly fine. The scrip system was probably a mistake too, but that's a separate issue. I know a lot of people who just stopped bothering when that came in for crafters/gatherers.

Yeah, scrips contributed to killing the game for me.

It turns at least 3-4 hours a week into pure busy work of running from Red-Gather node to Red-Gather node...

And this new patch is fucking retarded in the number of scrips the notes say they want for gear-upgrades. You get 9 a week. A single piece takes like 50 and some other fiddly bits...

It's fucking retarded, but Hand/Land are practically just in the game for cosmetics really. They do everything in their power to keep crafted gear from being on par with raid/dungeon gear... Don't think that wasn't why the materia changes happened.

And of course, crafted gear was... previously, the primary source of materia. But now grade 4s are handed out like candy, and you can get a combat g5 a week.

>>340932157
I'd advise taking weaver to 15 first, for careful synth and it's 100% progress success.
50 and CS2 is a solid goal. Especially since weaver makes a lot of the body gear for crafting. (It and leatherworker, though LW's cross classes are only situationally useful.)

she's just out on one of her RP sessions. she will be apprehended by Raubhan and questioned as to the whereabouts of the sultana

But Lolorito wasn't the one plotting against her, faggot. He was pretending to plot against her so he could fuck over Teledji and save his perfect puppet ruler. A destabilized country isn't good for business and Lolorito knew that.

>>
>>340933703
If you'd read the story posted on the site, you would know why. Garlemald isn't fighting a civil war anymore, and they've been united under a much more aggressive emperor. Lolorito knows that the Garleans are going to come knocking really soon and the Sultana needs his money to strengthen Ul'dah's military or else his businesses are going to be in trouble.

Everything Lolorito does is for himself. He's not an idiot.
>>
>these are the people that are playing the game with you

maybe Lolo had a change of heart?

>>
>>340933937
Why not just pour it all into his own personal armies like he's done before?

Why fund the flames when he can fund the brass blades?

Why think the sultana would even comprehend the idea of a war effort and not spend it on ala mehicans and the scions like she's doing?
>>
>>340934162

i don't need to read it. just tell me at the start of the fight and i'll figure it out
>>
>>340934280
His personal army can't contend with Ala Mhigo, and fortifying Ul'dah and their deployed troops would mean taking over as leader himself. If he wanted to be leader, he would've taken over when the Sultana's father died.

The Sultana and Raubahn need to take charge of the actual Ul'dahn military. Lolorito gave her the money and told her it's about time she acts like a fucking leader before Garlemald kills them all.
>>
>>340884662
I'm convinced that's the only reason they keep putting these games on consoles. In FFXI the excuse for every single thing lacking from the game was "PS2 limitations", and now with FFXIV it's "PS3 limitations".

This guy gets it. I like Nanamo, but she should have stayed dead. Bringing her back just cheapens the whole affair.

Minfilia should have never been in the game in the first place. She is an awful character, and they should have killed her off instead of making her the voice of god.

Yda and Papalymo are easily the most useless Scions. They're not offensively terrible, but they're not good, either.
>>
>>340934920
I'm wondering how they're going to do the patch content

There's still 2 more patches of content (final alexander raid in 3.4 and final mhachi raid in 3.5, and TWO warring triad primals left to fight) but the plot for Heavensward is pretty much summed up already.
>>
>>340933876

He's an opportunistic greed obsessed sociopath. He'll likely betray Nanamo and Ul'Dah again if a larger offer comes his way for power and status again. He represents necessary evil at the end of the day, because it's an open secret Nanamo is ill-fit or just incompetent to care for her people.
>>
>>340936119

That was the obvious. I'm more interested why they haven't tried to contact us. It's not like the WoL has been keeping quiet or anything.

We don't even really know what Elidibus wants.

>>340939992
I've been saying that's what the echo is for a long ass time now, since around the beginning of ARR.

The Echo is the ability to tap into parallel realities. Each Warrior of Light is the hero of their own reality, and when you group together to tackle obstacles like bosses, you're tapping into those other realities through the echo.

Also I'm calling it right now, since Regula is being set up to be Cefca, the next expansion has a good chance of being under the premise of another world shattering catastrophe, essentially turning our current world into a World of Ruin like FFVI. The main antagonist of the expansion being a Regula who has ascended to the level of a god after taking the power of the Warring Triad/Three Gods of Battle for himself.

I actually dislike the greater amount of dialogue choices they've given in this patch, because I'm worried they're going to effect more than just the response you get later down the line.

I actually disconnected when I didn't pick the right answer when Moghan asks you if you remember him just so I could pick the right answer because it made me feel bad.
>>
>>340938427

I declined it, but only on the principle of no matter what everyone tries to say, the Scions, as an organization, are gone and there is no point to bringing them back a formal entity. Not while we're all working mostly independently unless we need to work together for something.

I pull more weight as the Warrior of Light than the rest of those ungrateful faggots anyway.

It didn't ruin it for me because I'm not a prude that thinks showing skin is wrong or indecent.

I have a massive shitload of problems with XIV but I'm a fucking retard who keeps subbing on patches to see if they fixed anything.

This patch was alright, mostly because a couple friends and I snatched up two more Medium plots to sate our dreams of making this into an edgy Animal Crossing MMO. Glad there's more low-man shit to goof around in since we could never get into raid stuff, but I can see why people would be throwing a shitfit otherwise.

I hope they don't go Kefka solely because I love it when XIV does its own thing instead of just copypasting old shit and passing it off as a self-fellating homage to their own series. One of the greatest strengths of FF as a whole is that most games are generally unique in tone, atmosphere, and general setting.

It's convenient that the outside rewards are owner only now that they're worth squat. I won't run in any group where the owner doesn't get free reign over everything from their own map if they want it.
>>
>>340944347
That's his story. The empire aren't necessarily seeking that power or ability. At least not to Regulus knowledge, they are just seeking a way to subdue the primals and prevent them from returning. Magicite is NOT the same. If it's going to be treated the same, you may as well claim Gaius was becoming Kefka but even he points out that the destruction Ultima Weapon causes and can cause was NOT the power he was seeking and he was basically tricked by the ascians.

>>340944406
Yea I rather they do their own thing as well and considering they are still stuck with one trial per patch, there isn't really much room for 3 more, just two; The Demon and The Goddess. And it would fit just fine with that.

I made no excuses. I simply stated it doesn't "ruin my immersion" as you claimed it did.

I'd say the only tasteless person here is the one who feels obligated to tell other people who they should dress their characters.

It must suck being a bible thumping prude who limits themselves in such arbitrary ways, especially in a fantasy world where you're not forced to abide by the laws of our reality.

Demon and Goddess will be the last two because Regulus in god-mode like Cefca is a very likely candidate for the antagonist of the next expansion.

The quest line is even called "Chronicles of a New Era" and Doma is one of the possible places for us to be going next expansion too.

>But Doma was destroyed!

Yeah, and you still go to the destroyed Doma in the World of Ruin in FFVI.
>>
>>340945143
Anon there are some things you really shouldn't say
>>
>>340945343
Chronicles of a New Era has been the subtitle for practically every major side-story that isn't MSQ since 2.0. Note it even has a touch down menu to show which quests fall under it, it's not exclusive to Warring Triad.

Also if anything they are hinting really strongly we are going north to Ala Mhigo and into Empire territory. Doma is across the sea to the east iirc.
>>
>>340944406
Kinda hard for XIV to be its own thing when it doesn't even re-invent most of its mobs for its world and just rips them from the last 3 games that have roaming enemies. So I've kinda given up on XIV being its own thing.

I sincerely doubt that any 3.X plot will be relevant to 4.0. They've said they don't want to make the barrier for entry into the next expansion as high as it was with this one.

>>340946475
We could if the FFXIV staff wasn't so lazy, I mean "underfunded". There's no way they'll make two hub cities in one game. Though I suppose it could work if one of them was just completely destroyed and had no chance of being rebuilt.
>>
>>340947202
Just like HW brought us more than one region right? Or even any new ones for that matter. All of HW is just part of the Eorzean map we've been able to see since forever.

I don't see them suddenly splitting up which directions we go with one being a completely opposite, off-continent while the other is staying on the continent JUST LIKE HW but revealing more of it and taking it to the Empire now that the 4 city states are united.
>>
>>340947202

No, instead they brought us a third of the continent they already had, which still leaves another third for the next expansion.
>>
>>340947527
Wouldn't the timeline be fucked if 4.0 doesn't really take place after 3.0? I don't understand what they're planning to do.

One thing I'd like is to cut down on the filler in ARR with its 'collect boar butts' tier quests that have no place in a FF game unless its side quests.

oh! Ozma is on 14? does he cast doomsday too?

It could just be unrelated. Chains of Promathia was totally removed from the Rise of the Zilart story, up until an optional boss after the end.

At one point he casts Black Hole and swallows you. Once you're inside of him you can see a gigantic meteor slowly approaching with a text saying "x seconds until Doomsday".

It could be done separately, but the reason Selh'teus pops out of Delkfutts at the beginning is cause of Lion fucking around at the end of Zilart. They're connected, but not required to be seen linearly.

I have a friend IRL who hates MMO's but wants to play MMO like games with other people in the same world as him. He doesn't want to play with them, or talk to them, or trade with them, or interact with them in any way outside of seeing people doing things as he runs by. I don't understand that appeal but at least he hates MMO's though.
>>
>>340947527
>>340947897
>>340948670

FF14 is uncharted waters as far as MMOs go though because it has a singular main storyline where a lot of really important shit happens. They can't just ignore everything that happened in HW for the next expansion, because aside from the mostly self-contained Dragonsong War, it also brings back the Scions, Nanamo and Raubahn, who will surely feature in 4.0, as well as introducing other elements like the new emperor, Matoya, the Warriors of Darkness, etc.

The fact that they've cut down the length of the main story significantly per patch in 3.X compared to 2.X shows that it'll probably all still be mandatory. I can imagine they'll make a bunch of the filler from 2.X optional as well, like the memory lane sidequest at the end of 3.3.
>>
>>340948964
>>340948557
These people like in that picture will end up going back to WoW once Leigon drops so I think FFXIV will be good again for a bit until they're bored of that expansion.

Well I certainly, selfishly, would like them to continue down that path, however it's not a very good business strategy. They already saw with Heavensward that a ton of people were pissed that they had to do the "old boring" content before getting to the exciting new content.

He will be the Kefka insert. But for different reasons entirely. His agenda is to safeguard and lock down the Elder Primals of Azys Lla for the good of his emperor. His ironic fate will be to become just like them and suffer his emperor's cold cruel decision to consider him none the different.

His abandonment will snap him.

>>340948557

I don't have the time or autism to pretend like a game is my second life and spend time making fake online friends and acting like a faggot.

I play FF14 because I like the story, the music, the designs, and the challenging boss fights. Doing raids and trials with others is super fun. But I'm certainly not going to waste my time "socializing" outside of that, or play dress-up or build a house or plant flowers or whatever other grindy nolife bullshit the game lets you do.

I'm not a WoW-fag though, I would never play that game since it has nothing of the stuff that makes me play FF14. Nor would I play any other MMO for that matter.
>>
>>340949951

That's why they're gonna have to truncate the 2.X storyline. No one ever said Heavensward's story was boring, once people get there they keep going until the end.
>>
>>340948825
Yeah, for chunks at a time just like Papalymo and Yda. A lot of the content is centered on either Thancred or Y'Shtola. All of the scions have the opportunity to be great it's just some are more favored. Once we get to the patch containing the Ala Mihgo conflict (which if my memory serves has been within the plot since the hell that was 1.0) I'm sure Papalymo and Yda will make a better, more lasting impression. As for Urianger I hope they break him out of the 'he's our info guy' role. I'd like him more then I think.

Omega Weapon is buried under Cartenau actually. He's definitely going to be a major boss, but probably a raid boss, not a main story one.

He's also not going to look like that. It'll be his original FF5 form for sure.
>>
>>340950591
Omega Weapon is buried in the Carteneau Flats. Krile's little sharlayan research island is unrelated. They've yet to even clarify what happened to that island or who did it.
>>
>>340950928
The name of the island should tell you exactly what happened to it, as long as you've played FF5.
>>
>>340874103
I love that when the original opening was revealed Yoshi-P said he hadn't told the art team that the unique dragon was supposed to be black and it was white in the scene on accident. Now that we get to actually play the scene from the cutscene it turns out that that was Hrasvaelgar all along.

Whether they made that scene with us riding Hrasvaelgar with the opening in mind, or if that was always the intention, either way it was really neat to see it play out.

That was the real problem. Shit was happening in Ul'dah, with Nanamo trying to institute a new form of government. Then she died and shit went nuts. Then she was alive again and went back to being the cute little spunky sultana, content with leaving things exactly as they were when you first entered the city in 2.0.

At least they didn't try to say that Raubahn's arm was just under the effect of a sleeping potion.

No she isn't, dumbass. She just got a talking to from Lolorito because she needed to be told that weakening her country is a terrible fucking idea when Garlemald is sitting at the border waiting for the perfect chance to invade. The Sultana is a fucking idiot and tried to 'fix' her country by throwing all responsibility away from herself and telling the people to choose who's in charge. She has no clue how to run a country and she needed the slap in the face from Lolorito.
>>
>>340952710
If we get an Ala Mhigo expansion, I really hope there's gonna be some sort of huge refugee uprising that will result in Nanamo's death or something.
Like Garlemald tells the Mhigan they can get their city back if they ISIS the fuck out of Ul'dah and peel as many potatoes as they can.

No, /v/ is shit, reddit is shit, OF is shit
Better off just keeping XIV stuff to yourself.

>>340956073
For discussion probably the random /v/ thread, for info either /v/ or sadly reddit. Maybe the /vg/ op has some shit but actually talking to them is impossible unless you're waifu posting.

You could wear those Dalmatica.

I really don't know how to play summoner, wish I leveled black mage instead.

Protip: If it's eligible (and it should be), get game time cards. That way you're paying for the sub you were going to get anyway, and getting free items.

It better not be a random chance, having to import from the us is bad enough.

He's going to be a boss fight at some point, calling it now. Not because "I AM CORRUPTED BY DARKNESS" but rather a "For the sake of Eorzea these Ascian guys have it figured out"

It's been more than a year since blizzard released new content for WoW WoD, it coincided with the Heavensward expansion. A lot of WoW players, bored because of the "no content year" tried FFXIV and filled the forums with threads like "Titan's Hard Landslide is so hard to dodge", "Why do I have to do content in order to unlock content?", "I want 20 characters per server like in wow, not 1 character with all the jobs" etc.

You can recognise them while playing because they can't dodge aoe's in time because they are too used to play with DBM addon telling them what to do.

Man the people crying about Titan were the worst. Yes the game's netcode isn't flawless, but if you can't dodge the fucking landslides and you blame server lag, YOU are the problem. The most hilarious thing is it never crosses anyone's mind that there are THOUSANDS of people who cleared the content in the same environment as anyone else. If it were broken wouldn't that not happen? Christ the kiddos are cannibalizing this game with their shit inabilities to do anything but breath.

Get ready for when Aymeric betrays us in 3.4.

That's now how it works.
>Aymeric managed to separate the church from the goverment and now it's ruling Ishard after killing his own father and knights.
He isn't ruling Ishgard anymore. He's only the head of the House of Lords.

Well...worked for him.

He only used the Eye as fuel in place of crystals. Any amount of aether will turn someone into a Primal when combined with worship. The Eye doesn't have any special powers as far as making Primals goes.
