Played the Arcadion raids
Story's whatever. There's no Wuk so that's a plus. I like that they gave a story role to all 4 previous bosses and I was surprised that M7N is a salty runback against Brute Bomber.

Most of them have pretty generic mechs. The most interesting from each would probably be

M5N -Spotlights show up you have to be on a spotlight when your debuff expires so you dance on a spotlight. Nothing new but the dancing is funny. Debuff says you'll be hurt if youre not on a spotlight when it expires but I haven't seen the punishment myself

M6N - Stage transitions into three segments separated by rivers and connected by bridges. Two people get a fire stack that must be taken in water or you die. Not an interesting or new mech but I'm surprised that's in a Normal raid and that failing it kills you instead of just a stack.

M7N - The stage transitions 3 separate times and on the 2nd stage he becomes a wall boss. Adds also spawn and one add does an aoe that needs to be interrupted by tanks or pranged. The add casting a different named spell is the interruptable one. Once the add dies their corpses stay and you have to break los from the boss to not get stoned. Wonder what Savage of the adds will be. I'm guessing they'll just be untargetable adds if they're not feeling spicy

M8N - This one's super boring and generic. Very much a "we're hiding everything for savage". Although some people have said you can see other platforms in the fight like how you could in M4N so I guess that'll be a thing
Now I'm off to finish 7.1 msq then 7.2 so I can touch Beatrix EX tomorrow.
 
Just another day in Furry Fantasy XIV.

So I get to the underkeep and I queue with three male hrothgars. I just think… alright, whatever. Well fast forward to Gargant and these retards keep getting wiped. The healer is maybe healing every once in a while and we are barely doing any damage. They also kept standing in the orange boxes without moving. We get wiped like three times and at that point I just leave the duty because I’d rather take the penalty than hope one of the retards leaves first. Later I queue up with other people and we kill the bosses efficiently and no one gets wiped once. So what I thought is correct that the boss isn’t hard, it’s just that these people are fucking retarded. Either that or they were bots, if that’s possible. Or they were jerking off in some corner or something.

If you're surrounded by male Hroths, they're probably all retarded and brain fried on coom.
 
The remix of Roses of May is probably the best song this expansion has offered. Good job on that at least squeenix.

That’s what I thought when I saw them. It’s nothing organic to be paired with three male hroths.
 
Sorry for the double post but I’m really fucking confused now. How the hell do I get to IL 715? I thought I had overprepared before the patch but there’s still an even higher IL requirement. I’m at IL 711 right now.

The farmable tomestone gear is now 720. If you don't want to grind tomestones, buy Archeo Kingdom gear cheap, exchange it for tokens in Solution Nine and buy the Augmented stuff to get to 720 immediately.

Just finished the MSQ. A plotline about a cyberpunk dystopia with an evil hacker could be fun but the current scenario writers don't seem to have any idea how to tell the mechanics of this kind of story; who's actually nominally running Solution Nine right now? I assumed Oblivion was in charge since Gulool Ja hangs out with them and is supposed to be the sole ruler now, but is that Gossan guy in charge? How does Alexandrian law and order usually work, what's the limits of Calyx's powers, and what is Oblivion doing to try and stop him? Solution Nine seems to be constantly oscillating between idyllic and peaceful one minute and tantrum-spiralling hysterics the next.
I actually found myself liking the real Sphene, and her coming to terms with how her values differ from modern Alexandrians. It feels like a missed opportunity that she's so close in personality with Endless Sphene though.
 
I have failed 3 crafts so far due to lag making my macro shit itself. I miss Artisan.

Dude. IL720 from Augmented Crafted gear (Closer to IL723 considering that I also had Clouddark on.) was the lowest IL I had on the jobs I played back in 7.15.

Right now:
IL705: Yuweyawata Dungeon
IL710: Arcadion Light-Heavyweight or Archeo Kingdom Crafted
IL720: Quetzalli (Uncapped Tomestone) or Ark Angel (Alliance Raid)
Also IL720: Augmented Archeo Kingdom Gear
IL725: The Underkeep Dungeon Gear
IL730: Dark Hose Champion Gear and Augmented Quetzalli Gear, also Clouddark Armor
IL740: Arcadion Cruiser or Ceremonial Crafted Gear
IL750: Historia (Weekly Capped Tomestone) gear

Realistically, keep doing The Underkeep while farming Tomestones to get a higher IL through either the Underkeep or Quetzalli pieces.

It's physically impossible for someone to be a bot right now. I'd know.
(Dalamud is down because it's a major patch, even fucking ACT is down right now.)
They may be people who usually rely on rotation software, but most of us are just chilling and doing other things ingame while waiting for RSR or the like to be back.

I guess I could grind this dungeon until I get the required gear I need. My luck on the first run didn’t grant me any dark knight gear. At least there’s plenty of options.
 
This made me chuckle

I suppose our resident add-on enthusiast would know if the ModBeasts cannot and do not play the game before Dalmud gets updated.
@Tari can you confirm how much the RP/ERP/Modbeasts only play when they can mod and ignore the game -- otherwise when a patch is fresh and XIV launcher does not actually do anything DO THEY actually try to play the content BARE AND RAW without any add-ins?

Yes, modders usually play. Generally Dalamud isn't down for very long and the type you're talking about tend to fall into the 'MSQ enjoyers' route, so they'll faff through MSQ while waiting for everything to update.

New patches usually bring in a tide of shitters regardless so it doesn't really change much.
 
So got to play a little, first time playing a day 1 patch content. I fucking hate the removal of the timer in BLM, theres no penalty to fuck up in the class, its a braindead class. Was gonna do arcadion buti lack item level so ill tomestones while leveling BLM. Havent done any new content since i barely got time today so ill probably tackle the game more in the weekend.
 
>Decide to queue for alliance roulette on dynamis, get Monastery.
>See mechs on bosses that are skipped easily in other DCs because the dps is low
>Marks for Cid are marked incorrectly
>Wipe for the first time in probably 7+ years on Ultima because every healer and raiser died during the dodge part

I have brought this upon myself.
:shit-eating:

Some of them do by fucking their install up with TexTools (This most notably happened during 7.0, where the Penumbra discord had to make a statement on it), though without Mare venues aren't open so they aren't able to play Second Life.
 
This is teletubbies-tier writing. I don't think I'm going to make it through the slop before I pull the trigger. "Boy, the citizens love Wuk Lamat. I sure do like that. That is very good."

Some of these lines of dialogue are just... what? It's the most-flat, most awkward shit. If the voice acting sounds weird, it's because the actors have clearly been given no direction. They are trying to dry-read lines with no context, so it sounds stilted as fuck. The Sphene actress didn't get a pronunciation guide for Y'shtola, as she says "yush-tola" where everyone else says "yish-tola."
