The harm is inconsequential. Granted, there needs to be some oversight to a punishment matching the crime, but it's unfair to get perturbed at S-E for enforcing their ToS. An exploit, regardless of how minimal or detrimental to the game, is still an exploit. Sure, certain exploits deserve harsher punishments, but a day or two suspension is within reason, even if it's just for a "chimera clear."
Guess we have to agree to disagree, since I disagree so incredibly much that the harm is inconsequential. If that were true, then using a glitch that lets you get on top of a building you can't normally get on or something would be just as actionable as abusing an item duplication glitch or something, which is absolutely absurd.
 
It is pretty annoying. Melee really needs a tank buddy or they're gimped for deeps. I'm willing to put up with it because my Hellsguard looks so awesome with her spear, it just wouldn't be the same with a bow. At any rate, it's not really important for DRG to do its positional thing until 50, at which point you're just running instances with a tank anyway.
I've never had a problem using positionals as a dragoon. You can lead with heavy thrust and then you have a stun for another positional. That's generally plenty for solo fights.
 
wonder how easy it is to replicate the chimera glitch and if i should bother attempting it today

you blush at chimera

chimera freezes
 
I am thinking about picking this bad boy up for PS3. How would it be without a keyboard and just the controller?

I played with a tank the other who was on PS3 and bad no KB, so it was tough to communicate since be was using the controller to input chat. I'd say get a cheap USB KB for easier communication at least. Overall, I've read that playing the game on a controller isn't too shabby since there are a lot of customization options.
 
After trying for the last week in Mor Dhona with randoms, finally was able to beat Titan :) What a relief!!! I think I even had nightmares about him.

So right before I head to work I finally get a damn Ifrit's Harpoon. I've been unsuccessful in getting this thing to drop since 1.0, I had seen others including my brother see it drop but I never did, much less actually get the drop until now.

I really, reaaaaalllly hope SE doesn't do a whole server rollback for the Chimera exploit. :(
 
FFXI's party-mechanic of having a (typically) llightly-armoured class pull enemies from far-from-camp with ranged weaponry then have the tank strip attention as he returned to group is way more interesting than Tank Always Pull.

I was having our Bard pull in AK to avoid getting multiple packs, but Provoke works just as well.

I highly doubt theyll be doing any server rollbacks because of that.

That's typically not how they roll. The speed and harshness that they're reacting with is probably a result of the Salvage dupe issue in FFXI, where an ongoing endgame exploit went on for some time before a mass banning when it began to see heavy use; obviously Chimera kills aren't anywhere near the issue that triple drops are, but I can see the logic behind laying down the law early and loud.

Regardless of how much is saber-rattling and how much is actual threat, rollbacks are unlikely.

I liked it far better. However, it needs one of two things going on:
a) Pace of chains being important - this will probably be a thing open-world in the 40s once the Dark Devices well dries up.
b) Tanks needing time between fights to regen - nope, never happening with this game structure due to fast MP and short CDs.

In the incredibly unlikely event they did do roll backs, it would almost assuredly be at the individual level, not server wide.

Combat works fairly well without a controller, at least for Tank and Melee classes. Even if thats what you want to play though, you'll what to pick up a cheap USB or Bluetooth keyboard for communication.

You can get the later on Amazon for about 20usd.
 
demolish useful for mnks?

Yeah, it should always be in your rotation. Try to keep it up the maximum amount of time.

Can switch to using only Snap Punch if the target is going to die in the next 10 or so seconds though.

Demolish and Touch of Death add up to some pretty significant damage.
 
I'm hoping that a Realm Reborn OST is announced soon [possibly with a Moogle Minion?], hopefully at TGS sometime during one of Square-Enix's stage events.

I desire to listen to it repeatedly, especially Titan's theme. All of my money, Square-Enix. All of my money!
 
Yeah, soloing. Can't flank unless they're casting or anything, just annoying. Only 29 though.

You actually can get flank and rear attacks off when soloing. Just stand real close to the center of the target circle, and quickly move into position and execute your move. If you're quick enough, you get your hit before the server tells the mob to move, so you'll get your bonus damage. Not 100% reliable, but it works often enough to speed up your fights.
 
I have created the ultima sandwich.

Fun fact: Took me a full HQ AF set and 5 command materia III slotted into my accessories to even get the option to synthesize it, and an elaborate 40 step process to get it to HQ.

And it made a nice big stack of them right?!

Shitty thing about food like that - it's a fantastic stat boost, but on any content that's genuinely hard, you're going to burn up a lot of it on attempts to learn it, and once you have it down cold, you don't need the consumable edge any more.

I guess really rich people can afford it on the ah.
 
if I want to be the purest tank possible, what class is it? I'm currently a gladiator

Gladiator/Paladin is your typical tank. High damage mitigation. Low damage output. Abundance of defense boosting abilities.

Marauder/Warrior is the "blood" tank. Medium damage mitigation. Medium/high damage output. Ability to drain health and recover HP through abilities.
 
Hah, I was doing some crafting for people and i kept hearing "after maintenance!" and i'm like.... isn't that later tonight? Mid HQ cobalt sheet i get 90,000'd. ouch.
 
So I was fighting good old Titan about half an hour ago, and just before maintenance:


I was holding on my 900 mythology points for this and passed from upgrading my Stardust Rod.

Gotta make the most out of SMN before the nerf.
 
What's the most EXP you can get from a FATE? I just fought Svara with an army of folks and got a little over 20K! Holy cow, give me more of that!

Do Dark Devices in N. Thanlaan the wrong RIGHT! way and pocket a cool 150,000 XP lol
Be in a party, spam the ever living shit out of your AOE on top of the roof

4 Stage FATE, 1st stage alone gives you 100K, just 14 minutes of pure controlled chaos
