Wait, did you pop your cooldowns after the body pull? That's the problem!
I'm sitting here thinking "what? should I attack, wipe, or.... wait they're popping stuff crap we won't skip the phase now".

I'm sitting here thinking "what? should I attack, wipe, or.... wait they're popping stuff crap we won't skip the phase now".
We don't have a ton of active people playing, so things usually get shared among the leader/officers first. I plan on keeping the airships running until everyone gets the mount, but there seems to be very little interest in it. We had the same issue with the primal minions, where I had made around 20-30 blood peppers so that everyone could get at least one minion each. It was first-come-first-served, with the only requirement being that you had to supply the primal drop for the minion you wanted. In the end, we had at least 10+ peppers left over, so we just let people get multiple minions so they wouldn't go to waste. We're still growing more peppers, so that people can get the rest and in preparation for the next set of minions, but I expect it to be the same.
Body pulls tend to happen either way before the pull, when wiping is easy, or close enough to actual pull time that people are already multiple cooldowns into prebuffs. If I hit HE, we're pulling. Rook is great at taking body pull autos
Cooldowns should be popping pre-body pulls. Like, if we have a body pull its at 2-3s left on the timer, most everyone has popped all their relevant pre-pull things by that point.
Edit: The true enemy isn't body pulls but the "oh, that's more SSPD than I thought I had" casts started at 3s announcement. Think of that 1s lost for everyone else!

Well, I meant body pulls before the macro, not 2s before the pull. Those are sort of fine.

Sorry, I'm not in the gaf FC if that's what you were thinking.

Monk is fun but ninja is more fun
Take a piece of paper, write a row for each color and write a dash for each one that passes.
Alternatively you could take a series of split second pictures if your phone supports that.
Hope that you only have 1 of 1 color so it's easier to tally the others.

Darkness no more
It's not on the OST.
Its track 9 on the Before the Fall OST.
Correction: You made your static super happy by referring to this as pound town. In your absence last night we taught 3 new people the glory of pound town.
Oh. I see. So now you just take anyone to Pound Town!? Sheesh.

Sector 24.
The red on the ravana one pops nicely during night time. Thordan's is ok too. Sephirot and Bis are both kind of meh.
Thordan farm when.
I'm always ready when I'm online! Until I get the damn thing at least.
I mostly like the outline of the glow on the Zu more than the pigeons; the distribution of the lit up patches is more visually interesting or something than any of the pigeon palatte/particle swaps.
I wonder if we'll get info on Bennu in the LL next week. I don't want it to be cash shop but at this point I'm expecting cash shop.

I should have full ilevel 200 esoterics soon. Beyond that, I can run Void Ark until my eyeballs bleed to upgrade everything to ilevel 210. What do I do at this point? Farm tomestomes of law? A5 through A8? (I only cleared through A4.)
You can start lore and A5-A8 as soon as your iLevel allows; i210 is now just a waypoint phase since A5-A8 will give you access to i220 gear and lore gives you i230. So Void Ark to fill in slots, but the longer lasting gear comes from elsewhere. You will want to start clearing A8 weekly ASAP, because you'll need 7 weeks of A8 clears to eventually get the i230 lore weapon.
A8S clear video: https://youtu.be/uKDRsuABE-k
I am laughing so hard right now. A6S is so mad it's happening all at once.
Look at that cluster fuck at 9 minutes ish.
Also, the move that transforms him into is super mega perfect form is just named "Justice" fucking amazing

Can you use the duty finder for any of those? I mean it's available, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's beatable that way...
I am kind of surprised by how long that last phase lasted.
Definitely DF clearable, although not every DF group will necessarily succeed every time. Groups succeed more than they fail, but you may end up in the occasional fail group. You'll also tend to get better groups the earlier in the week you go, since once people get their drops they stop running it.

Maximum petty if true. Seems dumb to get mad about.
"What mechanics should we use for A8S?"
"Yes."
Eh, it's one of the unspoken rules of bleeding edge progression. It's a sort of basic respect thing for the groups after them when it comes to the big fight of the tier. X clears or Y time, whichever comes first.

World first groups have in the past sat on clear vids until 5 groups have cleared or a couple weeks have passed, to avoid interfering with the race for world second, third, fourth, etc. The rage isn't so much about EM getting beat to posting, as it is about providing strat information before the world whatever race is finished (since strats going public speed up kills for groups who haven't worked out a way to handle mechanics yet--Lucrezia's sac strat last tier completely changed who cleared when. Seeing Elysium's handling of A8S immediately when they cleared may have changed who got world second this tier. Etc.)
It's not something I particularly care about, but it's not like I'm part of the World First mindset so. It started causing friction last tier when people were streaming fights early on so I'm guessing the code of e-honor isn't long for the world regardless.
hate doing the main scenario DR, those missions are SHIT.
oh well, free 120 poetics tomes.
When I did it the first time I had to skip every single cutscene, because the group was in a hurry. SE should've made that shit solo, if they were going to put so many cutscenes.

People are in old mind set. Pre-patch you would still be obnoxious to kill, you melt now though.
