Helps on PLD as well when you take into account mitigation. Might only defend some 500+HP, but under mitigation it goes a longer way. Anyway, stoneskin = great for pretty much anyone. Who can argue against no damage?

At least with people dressed as Lightning, they will have more expression than she does.
Personally I'm more looking forward to the PvP armors that people will be wearing at that same patch (assuming lightning hits on 2.1 w/ PvP).
PLD armor looks amazing.
Link to PvP armor sets?
0-49 it doesn't really matter what you spec, once 50 and at endgame quests... you start noticing monsters hit like trucks. BC hits like a dozen trucks... all coming for you.
Masochist.
Thanks. Not really digging the gold lion for PLD.
Get a GAF group. Lot of people in the FC doing speed runs but unlike Praetorium the cutscenes are mostly short, and it won't be too hard for you to catch up to the group, and I imagine GAF-er's are more likely to be okay with you watching the cutscenes.
That being said, for the love of god get at least a partial GAF group for Praetorium afterwards. So you don't get locked out of a couple boss fights like I did because I was watching the cutscenes
Having to wait until you're out of the instance and watch at the Inn, brings you out of the experience somewhat so that is why I look at it like this. If people want to, fine, but don't force them.
BUT, I do understand it if there is a shortage on time, in that case I would have happily complied. I agree that in those cases it is more fun and important, in a sense, that you can complete the instance and watch the cutscenes later.
The thing is, we finished the dungeon with 80minutes left on the clock. Waiting 1-2 min before starting the end-boss wouldn't have hurt it, and would've at least let me help in the fight, instead of locking me out.
And okay then about the sounds, but they should really find a way too limit the amount, like, not 15 sounds in one chat message and then still allowing a person to spam it 5 times in less than a second. (ie. That is what he did)
That leads to 30seconds of having annoying sounds thrown at you constantly.

Before I try Praetorium, do most also speedrun this? I'm not on Ultros, so can't get a GAF-group going, but I suppose I'll also better look for people that want to give us a bit more time for the cutscenes?
I agree with this. The "Oh you can watch it at the inn" is such a fucking bullshit excuse. Having the scenes completely removed from the context of the dungeon simply does not have the same effect.
It's like someone telling me to try and speedrun FFIX my first time ever playing the game, and that "Oh you can just watch the scenes on youtube. Close enough." No. It's not. Fuck off and take a long walk off a short pier.
Not many since you need to be pretty damned geared to *speed* run it, but if you're unlucky you'll still run into assholes who do it like I did.

Sadly, I play on Leviathan.
Perhaps try recruiting in shout in N Than or something?
Edit: Unless you're a healer or a tank. If you're one of those roles, just laugh at them for trying to continue without you.
Yep.
Yep. Plus, seeing the cutscenes while doing the dungeon, will put the other players in them too. At the Inn instead it's just you, and it does take out a certain cool aspect off it.
Who said 1.0 music was bad?
I miss a lot of it. Even that LL guitar riff is alright to me.
Miss the ambient songs now...
Oh my gosh this battle theme (Nail of the Heavens) is pure BLISS.
I've been seeing it all over the place unfortunately.

People rarely say "thank you". Or anything at all. I always heal/regen people I see in trouble (about to die, running from mobs) and not one of them ever said anything. I didn't expect them to and I'm happy to do it but hey, it'd be nice.
On the other hand, I was doing a quest and someone came in and helped me kill the mob. Then she started the same quest right after and I stayed to help her by sleeping enemies and healing her. At the end she bowed and went on her way. Not much communication but we were clearly helping each other out.
As a PS3 player there are lots of times when I would love to say something, but that implies:
-Pressing Select to go to the chatbox.
-Presing X in the writing field, then Triangle to bring the keyboard which then covers most of my screen.
-Painstakingly type using the directional keys.
-Press Start to finish text input and X again to send the message.
So it's not like I don't want to, but the game doesn't make it any easy for console players.
I usually just type a quick "thx" and call it a day.
Tried to do a healer run through stone vigil with a friend who just got there... figured it was time to put the WHM to use again. Frist time I had PUGd in a while...
I'm not a great healer but the tank was dying outright in the first few seconds and the party was pulling hate like crazy. Wondered what the hell and I realized the tank was in level 20 gear including weaponry. Was like... oh this is what people are complaining about.

You should really get a keyboard if you intend to play long-term.
And I thought having a tank show up to story Garuda in level 35 white gear was bad...

So many elitist attitudes lately I have noticed in game. I joined a pug group last night for AK. They said they wanted geared DD so I joined.
I'm geared full darklight, relic, and some AF2. For a BRD my dmg is pretty damn high. So the next person joined. It was a DRG. Alright gear. Darklight, Relic. Standard fair.
As soon as we get in the DRG starts talking shit about the tank whom is not as well geared. Bugged the hell out of me.
It was obvious that they were new to running the dungeon and instead of trying to show them how to do it they just tore them down.
So I started being a dick also but to the drg. Telling them :before you start talking shit about other peoples gear and being well geared...make sure you don't have any green slotted gear" lol they got pissed and dropped lol after I put them to shame dmg wise cause I started posting parses and saying shit like yeah no green slotted gear does that for you lol.
I do not remember MMO's being this bad. I mean you always have your elitist players, but it seems like everyone thinks they are the shit and the best t hing ever just cause they got a little piece of gear which is pretty damn normal and just takes time no real skill to get.
Is it just me or are peoples attitudes getting worse?
On a side note PUGS are getting better it seems. Me and a MNK were able to kill Demon Wall before just as it started to cast it's 2nd repel. it was like 20% into case when we killed it lol.

Theres really no reason for you not to have a keyboard.
Interesting that the dev's have clarified that Dark Devices is working as intened, as if there was really any confusion - http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/83406-Dark-Devices-Exploitation?p=1329015#post1329015
Edit: Hmm seems its not a dev but a community team member, still if there was a problem one imagines it would have been patched like AK

You can still do this. I went to gamestop last week and bought one to add crysta to my account. The only problem is having crysta left over...
Seems like it's just people angry others were getting to endgame too fast.
I don't see why people are angry over it to be honest. Slowing down leveling isn't going to some make people magically better at the game or make you any better off.
IE: Every Legacy Server?
Well, I mean, it would have to be working as intended. They chose to spawn enemies endlessly until specific trigger mobs are killed. This is actually the case with many FATEs in the game, not just Dark Devices. For example, any FATE where you're supposed to turn items in to progress, you can just choose not to do so. People who run Aleport FATEs have wisened up to this and treat the goblin FATE as a mini-Dark Devices for that reason.
It always seems to be open when I get home from work (7:30PM EST)

Lol are people seriously whining about Dark Devices being used to level? Oh noes! people will use a FATE to level up their characters! This will cause problems because we cna't have people being high level in the player base!
What a bunch of idiots.
That's quite a big change from what was annunced before the game release ( the two are being developed, they couldn't say which one would be released first, should take less than 1 year ). Quite a disapointment if true.

This pretty much was the entirety of FFX. If any crossover FFX content doesn't feature this, I will be gravely disappointed.
I picked up a wireless Microsoft keyboard that worked perfectly without issue. Just plug and play. It's absolutely worth it.
If groups are specifically asking for geared people to join, I don't think it's unfair or unreasonable to expect them to know how to do the content.
If the people asking for geared people were themselves new to the instance, then that's just setting themselves up for failure. That's like people who want to do CM/Prae for the story/cutscenes ASKING for speedrunners to join. No way it goes well.
How about 'this is my first MMO so I didn't but a keyboard with the game'?
I'll have to get one down the line, I just don't have one right now.
It's pretty standard fare really. I still play things like WoW and LoL and it's not that common in FF really but the baduns can stick out.
I remember in one of my Garuda storyline runs helping some gaffers/frieds we pugged one other via DF and everyone was newish so I was explaining the fight. AsI had just got done explaining about the feathers the pug MNK, out of nowhere, says in the middle of my convo: "Calling it now, the healer or the tank or the mage is gonna b*tch about me for not killing adds instantly".
I was like "effing excuse me?" IRL but I managed to type somewhat sensibly "I am glad you learned so much about my personality in our short time together, but I am going to continue if you are done". He shut up and we downed it first try. I almost started calling him Mopey the Monk before he left but just went on my way, I'll prolly never see him/her again anyway.
MMOs are just an extension of the Internet and everything that comes with it. This game certainly isn't exemplary or anything but it's nothing bad imo.
