So, I guess my account got "hacked" last weekend by some gold farmers and now I've been banned.

E-mailed support, and apparently account compromising issues can only be handled by phone or chat support, which are only available during regular business hours.

Great job SEnix.

Are you using the app for one time passwords? If not, you should be
 
This is good! Please don't turn this into another Ninja tank situation SE. Let the players branch the jobs if there is a possibility.

That was less of a Paladin problem and more of a Ninja (shadow clones, natch) being the most overpowered thing in existence problem. :-p
 
Does anyone play this at work/LAN party? Please help!

My friends and I are excited to play this game and a bunch of us have bought and downloaded the game, but it seems the others can't seem to log into their accounts at work (lobby server connection has encountered an error 2002).

Thing is it works fine on my computer, just not with theirs. All of them can log into my computer easily too. Can anyone help me with this? Is it due to our work server settings? Gah!

It probably has to do with your works network proxy settings possibly.
 
A picture of a one time password item or link to the app should be in the OT from this point forward.

Its a shame that everyone pretty much needs one in any popular game...but its better safe than sorry.
 
Well, about to log in for the night, but I figured I'd share the video of my fight against Story Garuda first. Yeah, I realize there are dozens if not hundreds of video's like this out there, this is mainly for posterity.

Anyhow, beat Darkhold and Garuda last night, and I'm just a hair below 47, by the time I gather enough Seals for the GC axe I want I should level up.

This was my best.

... yay i guess? One of our main DPS died during heart phase for some silly reasons (was out of rage by little during the stomps and didn't receive medica)

On another note, "warrior can't tank it" is totally horseshit. I had no problem eating dem table flips and has long the healer isn't totally retarded he should remember to buff you before and after.

I've beaten Titan with a warrior no problem. Probably similar to people who quit Ifrit without a BLM/SMN.

[quote="atmusfear, post: 83223173"]Is anyone having a problem with this Francel NPC? Won't let me talk to him....[/QUOTE]

It's bugged.

My best from last night was 5%

That was a little aggravating (stop dying to bombs dps)
 
Anyone have any clue what's the best way for a tank to hold aggro on adds that spawn on boss fights? Healers always aggro immediately and you need like 2 hits to hold the aggro and sometimes that's too slow. Especially problematic with adds that move around very fast that you can't even land melee hits in reliably.

My group beat Titan with my warrior tanking with darklight accesories, half lvl 50 green gear and half AF gear, about 6.4k hp. I found that it doesn't really matter that much because if your healers don't top you up for mountain buster, you're gonna die anyway with or without extra 500-800hp. The damage is mostly spike.

Voke + Overpower spam.

I always ask my healers to stick together in castrum speedruns so i can grab all adds at the same time. (instead of having to run half map trying to get one while the other healer gets it)
 
With overpower, it's usually 2-3 hits before the adds come back to me after provoke.

Well castrum is easy and usually problem is that the dps like to take the adds on their own and split them everywhere, people won't die if they get hit once or twice. Garuda and CoB first turn has me scratching my head. I suspect it's one healer that always overheals and gets a lot of aggro, but the other healer sometimes pull it too. Not exactly sure what the enmity mechanics are for adds but it's a bitch for the OT.

Adds spawn -> emnity starts from 0 -> immediately scans the whole party for emnity -> gets healers with highest emnity -> I provoke, so the current highest emnity is probably like 1-2 big heals -> I hit once to grab aggro -> they heal again they aggro -> I hit second time, maybe I aggro maybe I don't -> they're dead.

Something like that?
 
With Garuda you are not supposed to take both adds honestly, I always take red one with voke and DPS burn green. Sometimes I take both with Overpower, but it's just luck.

I always take one, I'm fine with Garuda because they won't die so fast, but still the mechanics are the same. The add comes over, I tomahawk to grab aggro, healer then pulls aggro, I run after the add, maybe missing my melee hit and switching to overpower, grab aggro then pull back.

Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. CoB just half-wipes the group if that happens.

Jesus man, your UI is large, how far back is your camera? :)
 
You can actually dye crafter AF?

How do you tell which ones can be dyed or not anyway?

I don't know since I don't have it (or any high level crafters), but I don't see why you wouldn't be able to since its not actual AF armor like the DoW/DoM classes, its just the best gear available for the profession that has a unique/iconic look.

Well the concept is the same... that the gear looks the same as the outfit of the master of the job/craft.
 
Speaking of hydra, is the thing about turning him all fight to reduce triumvirate damage truth or myth? It sounds like bullshit to me but my group insists that it works.

Might be, I've heard that too. But I also heard having two tanks take the attack splits the damage.
 
i mean the adds if you do 1 tank method

should the tank pick up the adds or ignore?

Speed run = 1 tank? You shouldn't really do it if your dps sucks. If the dps is good enough, it doesn't really matter.

But no, you shouldn't have the tank dragging boss aoe all around the group.
 
Monk question. Fists of earth seems largely useless, maybe for soloing. How often do you switch from fire to wind for the increased mobility?
 
Trying to level up THM to get Swiftcast for my WHM and I'm wondering, when in a party, what's the best way to start off? Blizzard > Transpose > Fire or start off with Fire?
I've been doing Blizzard > Thunder > Aero > Transpose > Fire, but I don't really feel that I like it.

If you have full MP then there's no reason to start off with blizzard. Thunder -> Aero -> Fire -> Fire ... until out of MP -> Transpose -> Blizzard until full, Transpose again, Fire until empty (refreshing DoTs if desired), etc.
It's super boring but I really need to get swiftcast, myself. 23 THM... just 3 more levels to go. :(
 
Why do I need 1125 tomestones to make three hi-elixirs?

95% of alchemy's two star recipes feel like complete afterthoughts. So fucking dumb.
