What about in future when they get no pushback on any of this stuff (skins, mounts, boosts, better mounts than you can get in the game, etc) and end up offering max ilvl gear as a catch up service. Is that worth caring about?

Hey, I pay a sub, I buy the box, I buy the expansions. Is it wrong to be grumpy that they’re including a type of mount you can’t get in the game for $36 in the store only? It’s not like it’s some f2p game barely surviving off its cash shop. There’s so many bullshit pay to win games out there and...

So just for avoidance of doubt: I pay for the game I pay for the expansion packs I pay a subscription The expansion has been delayed 3-4 months~ Ultimate raid got delayed to 6.1 / cancel'd New 8 person mount: $36 in store, can't get any 8 person mounts in game, fanfest has banners advertising...

The game is just really dead atm after a 9 month tier going into a 9-12 month tier we’re currently in month 5 of. Basically everyone that wanted to clear and put a bit of effort in is done, there’s no new ultimate, no new deep dungeon to try to solo, and Bozja is the worst content they’ve ever...

What like... went wrong this expansion? I was going to buy it before it got delayed, but was too busy after the delay. I thought it looked alright (but too many systems) on release, and a couple of mates picked it up and said they liked it then stopped talking about it and now all I see is the...

New XIV expansion is likely august - I wonder if they’re incompetent (a la WoD) or worried enough about XIV to try to delay patch to hit the expansion? Pretty garbage either way. Maybe they just assume everyone is gonna go play classic BC.

I’ve been pretty into this game for four years but winding down to take a long break for the first time since picking the game up and in retrospect I’m really disappointed with this expansion from an endgame raider pov (ultimates, savage, deep dungeons, crafting). I started in late HW and...

You get more total resources because drops scale well with world level, and more total resources is good.

What did they do to the classes? Do any have interesting rotations? Last time I played was frost dk in cata - it wasn't complex then but looks braindead now. What're the like most deep/interesting classes? A couple of buds are telling me arena won't be awful this time around and they want...

Pyros's response is good, but for avoidance of doubt: PotD is a 200 floor dungeon, HoH a 100 floor dungeon. You can take a break between every set of 10 floors but your save file persists. After clearing floor 50 (PotD) or 20 (HoH), you can start from that floor. People spam 50-60 (PotD) and...

Thank god. This took way longer than HoH (HoH was 40h, this was like 120h?) and really wrecked my brain near the end of it. Good way to spend the coronavirus content break though. Really recommend it if anyone is looking for challenging/interesting solo content (but do HoH first).

Just skip story and cap/bash out some raids, you don't have to like the (mostly boring) msq to have a successful/enjoyable endgame. (I do think shb msq is pretty good though, at least the 5.0 stuff).

Sometimes I read this thread and I just can't believe how much Ion's crew fucked up the game. How did classic and BC turn into this shit.

Just listened to this: Sounds great but quite a lot of red flags, guy saying he has total confidence in 250 vs 250 pvp and a lot of detailed/specific claims. I think either this will be super cool / groundbreaking, or just another disappointment that launches with tons of bugs / few promised...

So after I got tech issues sorted this game turned out to actually be great, best combat of anything I've played since TERA. Make sure you install with tweaker since the windows store is awful, apparently. Ehrg on ship 2 if anyone wants to hit me up, playing hunter (pretty much at endgame now...

Crafting seems tragic now yeah, I remember back in sb my goal was 5 mil/hour profit for it to seem worthwhile. Not sure I could even make a mil now? And the idea of putting in like 12 hours of crafting for 12 mil is crushing. On the bright side submarines are something like 4m~ income a week...

Apparently the actual problem is the windows smartscreen filter for apps? If the app on the store and the app on your PC are different sizes it deletes the app. And the app is always a different size because the first thing it does after the original 11gb download is download another like 60gb...

Can't get over how dogshit Windows store is, has so far uninstalled my game by itself twice. Haven't had these problems with another mmorpg and am not doing anything weird / this PC is like a month old. E: if I can get over the tech mess I'm also on ship 2, playing Hu/Fi

If you're on primal feel free to hmu and we can run through it together.

I did BA when current, that was great content. And helped wife get ex mounts, but haven't bothered myself. Big fish seem like they might be fun? Or BLU (haven't touched either). I have a buddy who's really into the HoH/PotD stuff (he helped me out when I was trying HoH) and he's pretty...

I haven't had much time to play this year, but I'm now in the middle of taking 3 weeks off re: Coronavirus and I finally got to try some solo deep dungeon stuff: This was really fun and especially with 5.3 being delayed until mid July I'd recommend it to bored vets looking for something to do...

Talking about fun only / was meant to be read in conjunction with the first paragraph - balance wise I think paladin is probably the most useful tank but all of them are solid except warrior, which is unnecessary / has nothing unique that makes it worth bringing under normal circumstances...

Airships / submarines are mega great - I have both maps full explored and as much of the shb new submarine map they added explored as possible. Good Gil and really fun idle game. I also enjoyed figuring out decent builds / getting people the odd minion or zu mount etc.

I don't really understand how people don't get bored with healer changes in savage, it just feels so trivial to deal damage / little thought required / so many defensive buttons you almost always have a button you can press to fix healthbars. Definitely don't like the design changes there...

I think that reduce DPS thing is a mistranslation centered around immune to damage/mechanics players hitting boss -> reduce this damage by 10% to account for mechanics = tuning done? Except this time they used 15% rather than 10%. Seems believable if they were testing with drg mnk blm brd, or...

They don't actually give a fuck, there's a guy that's been using a bot to craft/undercut marketplace on Leviathan for 1.5 years now - still unbanned despite multiple reports to special task force etc. (This guy for sure bots, you can watch his diff characters login/out at 20m intervals with no...

Finished up titan, chilling some except reclears / maybe some crafting and FATEs/roulettes now. Tier was pretty fun imo - on the easier side but enjoyable bosses. Pretty happy with the game and not planning to unsub, but I'll probably play like 6h a week instead of like 12-24h a week.

I made my first 50m doing deep runs of palace of the dead in groups (aiming to clear floor 200 w occasional wipes at 180+), and throughout sb made at least 100m from potd + hoh deepruns combined. I got a bit luckier than average, but gf came to all of these and she made at least 75m.

for fun, a PATCH PREDICTION: - Freebies: Savage added New map dungeon added (akin to lost canals). It will drop at least one new minion New weekly tomestones added that reward i460 gear, later upgradeable to i470 New crafted i450 pentameldable items added New food added, but it won't for sure...

Re: FF easy - Something different that FF does is - savage raid tier comes out, it takes the top players 0-3 days (last expansion was like sub 24h, sub 24h, then 48-72h), then normal players spend 4-12 weeks clearing that. It's never nerfed and release tuning stays until it stops being relevant...

Astro are significantly worse than whm right now (like... At least 10% including their rdps contribution), and whether you're doing savage or an ex primal that doesn't change. However: there were massive job changes in 4.05 (stormblood savage release), Yoshi P confirmed that there'd be massive...

Real talk the arr msq is bad, at least half of heavensward is bad, most of stormblood is bad, and even shadowbringers has boring filler bits. I like the world a lot and I enjoy the surrounding lore, but outside shb and some bits like the drk quests and the beast tribes square have been pretty...

Re: talk about balance. Do note that this patch is historically pretty messed up and in 4.05 (savage release patch) 13 of 15 classes were changed in some way, 3 changed very significantly. So I think current design is relevant but numbers not so much. I'd expect things to be shifted to the same...

I honestly don't really know about smn but this has been the case for basically all of the classes I've leveled except rdm/sam - they just feel garbage/clunky before 70 (or close to 70 in some cases).

Who else is on Leviathan? Add me at Something Wicked. Not much to do before expansion now - have just been finishing up leveling red mage and capping on everything I can cap on.

4.0/4.2/4.4 = savage tier raids. These drop bis gear, 5 total bosses (the last two are combined). 4.1/4.3 = ultimate raids. These use bis gear from 4.0/4.2, and are sync'd to that ilvl. These drop cosmetic rewards only (basically, the weapon has an extra materia slot which is approx 0.25% extra...

I don't have a source but Yoshi talked about how war/drk would be MT roles and pld/gun OT, and he thought adding another tank made sense because of this. Not sure I agree - imo pld sucks to play in pugs cuz you need so much babying to do very well. Will be interesting to see how gun works out.

This is complicated and there are definitely people doing it wrong on both sides -- tank stance is really good in prog, if your healers are bad, if anything goes wrong, if you're undergeared, etc. That said, in savage content or ex primals, when you have bis gear (or close to), there's almost...

vs mobs: I typically stayed in defensive stance all the time while leveling and pulled as many mobs as I possibly could vs bosses: I typically opened in defensive stance then hit offensive stance Also, if you need anything on Levi feel free to hmu - Something Wicked in game or Ehrgeix#1732 in...

I'm on Levi too, play as Something Wicked. The only casual LS I'm in is gathering/crafting discussion though.
