I hope you're wrong, don't ruin SFV for me.
Hot prediction, patch 3.2 is 2/16.
I predict the week after since Yoshi-P loves cutting things close to the end of the month.
It's less about being worried on DPS and more "oh look, they made it to the outside edge" became "oh look, it died already." Phase was never really about beating a tight check but just how much spare time you have.
We have 2x casters so it was basically just Makoto getting to nuke one to nothing and I had everything else slowed. So the only big target-planning we had was nobody really did much with Makoto's target and I'd prioritize the things that got low. Now I just slow all the things and wonder why I bother when things die before Miasma finishes.
Please. Double caster is A3S adds babymode. By the time I joined you guys in, what, midSeptember? adds hadn't been a huge thing for a while. I mostly just remember,like, the first few weeks of August with double melee being "hold your breath every time both melee get Ferrofluid" territory.
It's mostly that in both groups it seemed like consistently getting to the final phase was a bigger challenge than final phase itself ever was.
I'm not even sure I feel the urge to pick the game up and start playing a ton again. Hard to build that motivation without a raid group and so many other games out right now.Hot prediction, patch 3.2 is 2/16.
I thought for sure I'd be all hyped up about 3.2 too.

Well we were having issues where our melee would run to the nearest adds immediately, even it had just barely spawned next to the water tornado, riiiiiight where I had ducked out with the tether so as not to blow up any of the ranged players on the outer edge.
Basically, they were expecting me to jump out of their way. Which would've been fine, except finding an escape route where I'm not going to blow anyone else up in a few seconds tops is, a bit unreasonable. As soon as they realized this it stopped becoming a problem, mostly. Occasionally we still had issues that stemmed from people appearing in slightly different places on each others screens.
Basically, "Why'd you keep chasing me?" "Wait what? I was running from you, you were behind me on my screen!" "What, no I, on my screen you were behind me!"

Well, there should be a trailer or something coming out within the next eighteen hours or so, it's possible something there might catch your interest. That said, there's nothing wrong with playing this game casually, at least until you find another raid group. Ideally a lot of them will be forming once people realize that 2nd Alexander is closer to Coil level difficulty.

3/8. Its longer away than we think.

It's mostly that in both groups it seemed like consistently getting to the final phase was a bigger challenge than final phase itself ever was.
It really is babymode with the 2x casters. I'm just saying the problems were typically "oh, literally nobody hit this one" and not "ohgodpleasekillitRIP" sort of things. Portioning out damage properly as opposed to doing enough total damage. And, yeah, not having the early progression 2x melee Ferrofluid is a pretty big deal and probably most of the reason it was never about finding damage and more about allocating it.
Getting to the final phase was definitely a bigger struggle than the actual final phase. Final phase could be planned out to the point it had no real decision points. Very much a part of the fight that time thinking about it made it easier than just trying to force it to work properly.
Another thing that may have made a difference for us. Historically my static hasn't really been good at problem solving. We've mostly just smacked our face into content until clearing it. We couldn't really do that for the last phase though.
Once one of the new members we picked up in October decided to start problem solving the last phase, (try sitting over here instead, everyone stack here during this mechanic, etc,) then things started happening a lot more quickly.

This is the heart of what made A3S the thing the static-killer it became and possibly why people feel it was overtuned--it was tuned high enough that you couldn't gear up to the point of that really being a viable option.
But, yeah, it also seems like we agree that the fight is basically as hard as your group makes it.
I should buy the PS4 version of the game so I can easily put up a PF looking for a new WAR for 3.2 without using up resources that go into having BnS and Marvel Heroes running at the same time.
I gotta start getting that 3v3 PvP static in BnS going with livestreams.

Considering 3.1 hit the same day as Fallout 4, I wouldn't be at all surprised.

Square Enix might be a little more conscious of the release of a Japanese game, then they were of a western game. Or maybe not, maybe the release dates are decided solely on whats going on in the Japanese territories.
I guess we'll find out.

This is a bit jaded but I would 100% believe that SE thinks that they can compete with these release dates and they do it purposely.

Well, they did put out a poll asking people if they'd buy FFXV if it released at the same time as Persona 5, or something like that. So they appear to at least be nominally aware that they can't ignore every little competing games release date.
Granted, different team and all that.
3.2 will _______ the game.

How successful do we think a butt patch could be? Could curvy mi'qotes save FFXIV?

Is this the name for the expansion where they drop PS3 support?

That's old news. He's raiding in Destiny somewhere. I have to replace his replacement!

I'll never understand people that quit for Destiny, especially when you can knock all the weekly stuff in a reset night with boss skips. I guess you have to check back in over the weekend for Trials, or a week if an event is up but meh. All I ever do now is check the Xur reddit thread to see him not sell Gravitons again.

Well, in that case, as with FFXIV anyone that starts playing now isn't going to have a problem. It's the people that've been going strong for ages that're either burnt out or feel they don't have enough to do. In FFXIV the grind to 60 is still huge for people just starting out, and between 3.1 and 3.0 end-game should keep people busy for awhile.
Aha, cute.
The fact that I've been hearing people saying ded game on a near daily basis for over a year, apparently hasn't entered into your conclusion at all. It just gets irritating after awhile, when you're trying to enjoy your playtime and you're hearing a chorus of, "Ded game."
I haven't even played it since I beat Oryx.http://m.neogaf.com/showthread.php?t=1177299

I don't know where you're hearing this chorus cause FC chat is dead.
OT, FC Chat, Mumble.
It's almost like the same pool of people frequent all three of those.

Mumble doesn't say ded game...
They talk about pincheys and glossy skins

Other people can be critical of the game and you can still enjoy it, in fact you can enjoy the game and still be critical of it yourself. These two things are not mutually exclusive!
I'm more shocked to learn Mumble takes the time to talk about this game at all.
It's ok, when the normal patch-week resurgence happens people can go back to shouting EVERYTHING IS FINE!
It's almost like you could characterize this game as living and dying by sporadic content infusions without anything holding it together in the between times.

We don't talk about how dead the game is.....
We talk about trouble with fisting and high-fives, and peeing living liquids....

I'm critical of the game within reason. I was plenty critical of A3S for being tuned too high for the FFXIV raiding community. I was critical of the Relic patch for being a bit late and being a bit much of a grind for a single step, not critical of it being a grind mind you, just felt that it was maybe 20-25% too big. The difference is that I don't carry on endlessly, and simply choose to enjoy myself the best I can. Usually when people carry on their real complaint is that they're burnt out, but for some reason they just keep complaining instead of dealing with it.
Case in point, I've put this game on back burner status twice in the past year. Spent a week or two mainly playing other games while mostly logging into FFXIV to raid. Once I was done with those games I didn't feel burnt out anymore, and people hardly heard a peep out of me.
Look, I don't mean to be critical of people, I really don't. I just feel like sometimes people don't manage themselves very effectively when it comes to this game. I get that, and I'm guilty of it myself from time to time. Beyond a certain point however it just isn't helpful.
Okay, ramble over I guess.

As someone new to Destiny, it's funny reading the complaints. Same post-expansion lull with a dev break. Basically normal.
Though the SBMM thing was a treat.

That and Ultros is 500% dead game. I had to pass the time yesterday with Diadem HM and 1 tank/7 healer Ravana PFs. Diadem came to a halt at the first brachiosaurus; I think we got 3 gold chests with 3 mist break fending pieces.
Also complaining about the game is about as helpful as coming into mumble to remind everyone game isn't dead cause they're grinding Frontlines to max rank, I agree.

According to reddit, sales of the Mac version resume on February 23rd.
Presumably to coincide with a patch for that version?
And there's your date. All according to keikaku.
yay, now I can play it in work!
