Tried the new bozja equivalent and rolling around in a death ball with random JP players is always fun, no need to talk, just throw out the odd "よろしくです~" then just jump around and spam random emotes while waiting for CE's to pop. Still kinda irritated that the quest I need to proceed is locked behind a CE that rarely spawns.

That one can be prepped by killing the pudding mobs around the CE location.

If I recall, calamity bound can be triggered by killing a bunch of a inkstains (slime type monster), which are right outside of the arena where the CE is, so just equip cannoneer and start blasting.
Speaking of occult crescent, been thinking of going back to it to get the last piece of tank gear and phantom jobs which I am missing, and maybe even the airship mount. Had OC release with the current loot and silver coin gain I would have played a lot more, sadly my first impression of the zone was terrible.
 
So I decided to finally try Viper and Pictomancer. I unlocked Viper at DT launch but then quit the game pretty much, so I didn't really get to know it. But since these are basically the prototypes for what the new evolved jobs are gonna be, I figure I should spend some time playing them to see how I feel.

And I gotta say - they're fun as fuck.

That reminds me I need to gear Viper and Picto properly

I remember not particularly enjoying VPR, but maybe that's just because I was hoping for another NIN style hybrid and instead it was just another Reaper. PCT is fun but the bar for Casters is through the floor after levelling SMN, so eh.
 
I tried viper on release and I liked it but found the rotation a bit awkward ( yeah i know press glowing button) so I went with picto instead. Came back to viper a few months later to level it and never understood why did they move one of the debuffs to another attack

It was actually a change for JP iirc. They thought the APM was too high and the job gauge was confusing.

Considering how much Koreans love the ultra high apm of Starcraft, the fact a japanese player can't be asked to press a button more than once every 2 seconds is insane.

XIV already has the slowest gcd of any game in existence.

I hate being a mount addict, the second I saw that EX wing mount I bought DT, it's too fucking cool

I had some buddies tell me about the mount since I used to be big on collecting EX mounts back in my more sprightly days. They look cool but I actually prefer the regular mounts. Sure they aren't as bright and flashy but I really like that they've got tails. I'm happy with my wings of ruin and knighthood. Maybe if I'm bored enough I'll make the effort, but I'm just too old and tired to commit that much time. If they were bigger and had flowing tail, I'd be all for it but imo they seam a little too... uninspired which is disappointing because it's supposed to be the mount you get for collecting all the others. It's supposed to be enormous and flashy and more detailed.

Sorry, I didn't mean to rain on your parade, I was just reminded of a discussion I had about it. Good luck on getting it.

It's cool, I felt the same about the endwalker ex mount. Don't get me wrong, the bahamut chair is cool but spending all those months getting my cool cat mounts and waiting for a huge lion or tiger only to see that just killed my interest in the game and made me stop playing, but this is good enough to birng me back
 
Finished 7.4.

I'm glad that Krile at least got a follow-up to her backstory even if it wasn't that great. I thought Doomtrain was fun without the same amount of visual clutter that Recollection suffered from and I enjoyed Mistwake. Glad to be definitively done with the Tural shit and moving on. Sadly my gear is a bit too low ilvl for the 7.5 dungeon so I have to either grind gil or grind dungeons for a bit before I move on to 7.5.

Also, I dunno how it is on the other DCs but Crystal is absolutely popping right now with new people. Fair number of returners running around but that's dwarfed by a metric fuckton of sprouts. Did some other game implode and drive them here?

If you want I can craft you some gear to help bring you over the threshold so you have to wait less. I'm still hanging on to some crafting materials that I want to get rid of and if you have extra mathematics tomes you can upgrade them even further.

Nah there’s been an uptick in retards on Aether, too.

I’m not sure where these new players are coming from but I went like an entire week of getting Cure 1 bots in roulettes.

I made a comment about this earlier in the thread about how the announcement of Evercold is going to open a dam of new players and returning players who either don't know what they are doing at all or have completely forgotten what to do. There's an alarming number of incompetence in end game content too if you account the returners and the skippers. I'm getting tanks who wall to wall pull without mitigating anything, healers that don't want to heal because they would rather spam their dps buttons, and dps who refuse to touch their aoe rotations on large mob packs, making the dungeon take 3 times as long and making the healer work 3 times as hard.

Nah, thanks for the offer though. I'm avg ilvl 746 and a couple of my pieces are the 720 set from hunt currency so I only need one or two to get over the threshold. I could probably be done with one or two runs of Mistwake.
 
The last part of Echoes of Vana’diel was fine but I can’t help but cringe every time there’s one of those gay “bonding over food” scenes constantly. They really ramped that up with the Endwalker patches and it really makes me wanna drop this game as stupid as that sounds. Hopefully dawntrail was just a product of the main writers stepping away for other games (and whatever Ishikawa is working on) because it’s bad.
 
MrBrappy and XenosysBald are fighting on twitter about xeno calling Kate and Sena retarded in a way that's not 'grown up' or some shit.

I just think it's funny that Happy's acting so above-it-all given his personal history.
