What argument? It's an explanation of their policy. No arguing is being done.
Eyeball is 3 month vet reward.
it should be for lalafells
all im saying is there should be race exclusive mounts instead of just scaling up and down mounts

Oh, that's cool.
Its not? What is it then? It clearly looks different than a grand chocobo mount. Looks armorless.

Lalafells should be banished to the unicorns. Magitek to the superior race Hyur.
That would be cool, but I would be fine if they just keep it class exclusive
where the fuck is my tank mount
you also underestimate just how heavy lalafells are
It's a minion
Parakeetman
No one wants a throne you've been sitting on!
Btw so has the account hacking problem really gotten so bad that it warranted the change of the OT title? D:
I leave for a week to come back to this?!

In FF XIV ARR, there are 2 kinds of servers.. Legacy Servers (servers where people have their characters from 1.0) and New servers (where people can only create new characters, not use their existing ones from 1.0)
They aren't allowing people to move their existing characters from FF XIV 1.0 to new servers. If you made a character on a new server like Cactuar for example, you would be able to move to Ultros if that is where you wanted to go.
Right. Maybe that's what I should have done but it really seems punitive to have to play by myself all this time in order to move over. Honestly just make legacy players wipe their gill and allow transfers.

Ah. so you've got a 1.0 character that you want to go back to. You just want it on Ultros instead of a legacy server.
If you mean chocobos with black tinged feathers, slightly different armor, and "birthmark" symbols on their beaks, those are legacy chocobos. Everything legacy wise has some sort of mark attributed.
I don't think you can ride minions. Sometimes you'll see people using mounts in battle or I think the Ahirmans have minions and mount version.
With that said, riding on a Behemoth would be interesting.
Are there certain DPS that are viewed as generally better than others? More importantly, are there DPS that are generally thought of as shit?
I've been thinking about leveling CNJ, just to have something to help seal the deal and get me into events, but I'm wondering if BRD isn't useful for endgame like it was in XI.

That must be it. It's clearly a different looking chocobo. At first glance it looks like a young or child chocobo. Skinny and kinda lanky looking.
Bard has a pretty big advantage because it can move and attack at the same time. None of them are really thought of as poorly. Honestly, warrior is the only job in the game right now that is kind of seen as lacking.
As for bard's usefulness in the endgame, it's not like 11. They're a DPS class with some support abilities, not a support class.
Well, when we farm Garuda we do the offtank grabs redline sister, DPS facetanks green strat too. Works great unless all your DPS are BLMs in which case OT needs to grab both.

I only need 2 more levels on my pugilist to start to become a bard. I hope its not to many new skills. My hotbars are pretty full already.
Yup plus I knew a few (like 5) players on my original server. Going in alone in an mmo sucks especially with no pvp since that's how I make buddies.
How is it poorly designed? It's a fun and challenging fight.

Chocobo with barding removed?
Soon brah
Tried some coil with some random ppl in shout yesterday. Lovely OST, but we didn't go that far. Honestly though, I saw something I didn't like much.
I remember Yoshida words about how he wanted to avoid situations like "you'll need x jobs to do x" (hence why he removed elemental weakness from primals), but then the coil figures a boss that pretty much kills your whole party unless you have 3-4 people silencing him, giving a huge advance to PLD (WAR once again fucked) and BRD over silence-less Jobs. Dunno what to think.

I can't comment on MNK or BLM, but I did lvl DRG and BRD to 50 back to back. There were many instances where I felt the difference was almost like early days XI Pre-Nerf RNG Vs. Post-Penta-Nerf DRG. That's a little hyperbolic, but the gap in both utility and damage output was very significant. I honestly don't think much effort was made to balance the classes up to this point, which is not surprising considering all the rough and rushed edges to the game.
It's not poorly designed.
It's one of the best encounters I've experienced. Simply because it checks for players who are good and players who are not good.
Where's this screencap from?When?
Fair enough. It just doesn't seem as efficient as having tanks grab both so dmg taken and healing is reduced. I guess it's a problem of two conflicting strategies without settling for one prior the fight.
And to be honest, it'd never had occurred to me to do that when there's two tanks in the party, maybe in a FC fight if you go in with 5 dps and 1 tank.
What am I going to find out next, that random people on the DF with 2 war and 2 healers can beat Titan? Nonsense, but it'd amuse me to no end.
1- you can't use duty finder for it because the party make up one uses for the fight is not compatible.
2- too much of the fight hinges on players not being hit by one hit kill attacks. Which is fine except too often bad luck or lag will kill a player causing a wipe. This isn't a test to see if you're "good." It's luck.
That'd be great if lag wasn't a variable.
BRDs are top choices because of their high damage and high mobility, we do Turn 1 ADS with MNK and Turn 2 ADS with PLDs. Although we do run with a BRD but it's not for silencing purposes.
As far as WAR go, well some people have actually gone to Turn 5 as them, and props to them and to their healers for keeping them alive on some of the fights where even PLDs take crazy dmg. I just don't see myself going through Coil as WAR, maybe after getting more iLv90 stuff, but right now I feel like I get hit by truck all the time.

1. You can easily do the fight with two tanks. In fact, I've done it several times with two tanks just because friends needed help. One of the tanks just DPS'ed. Was fine. Now, in a DF, it's hard because you don't know anyone's gear (until they add that gearscore system). But why would you use the DF for a hard fight like that? Shout for it or make your own party with friends.
2. I consider myself very "good" at that fight. I can avoid getting hit by everything most of the time. Titan is incredibly predictable because he follows a set order of abilities. Post heart: Tableflip (forget name) -> Stomps -> Weight -> Bombs + Landslide -> Tableflip -> Weight -> Landslide -> Tableflip -> Stomps and it repeats. If you know how to juke the animation (after the Landslide "target line" is gone, you can move into where the animation hits and it won't hurt you), you should really never get hit by anything during the bomb phase.
I quite like the fight, tbh.
My problems with Titan HM are:
1) It feels like a huge difficulty spike compared to Garuda
But especially:
2) It's an encounter that requires incredible efficiency and reflexes... from both players and the server. In a fight were 1 mistake=wipe there is no room for latency. Sometimes i feel like I'm fighting Titan AND the lag, every time I move I have to keep in mind that the server will inevitably fuck with me. Landslide incoming? Hey, better run toward Titan and get it so I don't fall, rather than avoiding it and falling.

I don't think the problem for most people is having 2 tanks. I've done it 3 times (successfully) like that due to having a WAR going for their Relic while a PLD main tanks. WAR can still do decent dps sometimes rivalling BLMs easily due to them not really needing to move that much. Weights of the Land don't hit them for too much.
Anyway, the real problem I see with Titan on the DF is the 2 healers. When you have random people not being in the same line of thought, probably some/most inexperienced or under-geared, and 2 healers won't be enough for that situation.
In my opinion the 2 healers have to be extremely good to hold through the tumults on the latter half of the fight, and the chances for that happening through a DF party are very slim.
When are you not being carried?
Your first point seems more because Garuda was actually hard non hard mode vs titan being pretty easy.
Wat? I did all the heavy lifting for bads in Hutball and Voidstar.
I play with Spanish people in my FC and they do seem to have lots of lag problems, maybe the quality of our broadband here in England is actually decent, but these guys just keep complaining about their shit internet and whatnot.
Some of them are using something called Leatrix, a latency fix, which supposedly helps them a lot. I installed that and didn't noticed a change, well I've never had lag problems. So if I eat any aoes is because I was just slow or didn't pay attention.

Until they add that gearscore check for things like Titan HM, I will agree with that. I personally feel like 3 healers is way overkill for Titan HM in most cases (with a good group, of course). For people who don't know what they are doing, no amount of healers will save them. xD
I honestly suspect most people use the DF for Titan HM as practice before getting into a group on their server. Which honestly isn't a bad idea.
---
@Lag - most of the time, I don't find this a very valid excuse on something like Titan HM. Like I said earlier, the abilities Titan uses are predictable and you should know what's coming next and be ready to move (or start moving early). As far as the bombs, as soon as the landslide animation hits, the first set of bombs starts exploding, so you can start running sooner than I suspect most people actually do (who end up getting hit by a bomb). *shrug* Now, there are instances were the servers themselves are actually lagging and you will r0 some. You can't help that. D:
So basically it's my fault when i get it by attacks despite the fact I'm clearly way out of it?
I can't believe there is someone willing to excuse this shit.
