So I run Dzemael Darkhold, 45 minute queue. Get a tank who announces "please don't roll on (some non-tank bp) I need it for a machima production" Kill first boss, which must have been the one he needed because he quits right after.

And you can't blacklist fuckheads like this so they can't waste a goddamn hour of your day again.

EDIT: Apparently fuckhead is on Gilg, named A'bhen Nunh

I want to sit back with some popcorn when Kreugan gets to aurum vale if he pugs it. Holy shit that was just the worst for me.

It's even more confusing that half the people shitting all over this game atm log in every fucking day to play it. lol. For a game that has taken a "step back in every way possible" they sure seem to be enjoying it.
Except we're not. At this point it's "log on to do coil" a couple times a week. In the last two weeks I've only played for a few hours.

The first video was just lag. The 2nd video was caused by him using an instant-cast ability while inside the aoe, animation-locking him to that position until the animation completes.... .
Btw this is completely false, 100% untrue, never ever happens, is not part of the game, etc. I don't know how or why this false information has spread, but it's complete and utter *bullshit*.

Using abilities inside of a spell cast MEANS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING FOR POSITION SYNCING.

Clearly you don't actually fucking understand anything about the actual game (big surprise). The animation-lock problem is NOT and NEVER HAS BEEN about position sync and reporting. It's about locking you out from using other abilities and totally fucking up trying to use instant abilities that are off the GCD, nothing else.

2nd video has him still in the circle when the cast finishes. Circle is definitely delayed, could be lag spike or just how it's fucked up sometimes, but he's inside when the cast finishes > he gets hit. 1st one is just lag. If I do titan during prime time, I can sometimes lag through an entire stomp, like nothing shows on my screen and everything freezes for a few seconds, then suddenly take all stomp damage(and heals), and sometimes it actually shows the stomp sometimes not even. I've also had him not jump on my screen during a very long freeze, just freeze, wait wait wait, ok fights resumes, he somehow jumped in the meantime but never showed that.

Not that the netcode is any good, shit's buggy at times, but neither of these videos really show it. Luckily it doesn't affect my crafting much, so I don't care all that much.

Any info out there on what level an item must be to break down into grade 3 materia?
ilvl 45. Might be slightly less as I think I got one from 43, but not 100% sure and 45 is what I always heard. Buy a bunch of jewelry and spirint bind it. Might not be worth the price of the materias though(if you know a GSM you can buy the mats and get him to craft, costs like 5k to make all 5slots of jewelry with the mats, but closer to 20k if you buy the items).

Haven't logged in a bit but I heard a rumor they finally made it so arcanists could queue as heals? Confirm or deny?
There's no reason they'd do that, the class, while able to heal because the instances are faceroll, gets basically no healing tool at all until 30, and doesn't get a whole lot of MND either. But I'll admit, I haven't tried to queue as an Arcanist since like 3days after EA.

This year? Perfect for me even if its December. As a school Administrator, Thanksgiving and Christmas are my prime gaming time. Hoping to enjoy a little console gaming for Thanksgiving and then 2.1 for Christmas. I have it all planned out haha. I'm moving really slow in FFXIV as well. Some of it is intentional as I love the progression, the environment, and music. Otherwise real life has been hectic. Cannot wait to see if ALL of 2.1 makes it in when they expect it.
