Thanks so much!
It's not an Au Ra maid paradise so no, he doesn't know what's up.
Considering how peeved you get over Japanese translations it might help if you're respectful of other languages too
It was not a translation, it was something I said.
He said in an earlier interview potions also have less of a cooldown while you're inside so I imagine that's why he's saying that specifically.. I'm interested in going into Deep Dungeon on a class other than my main, since it seems like the perfect kind of optional content for messing around like that with the completely separate progression system.
Just saying, if you get so worked up over Japanese, translations or not, then you might as well respect other languages too

How do i get into the FC?
A man after my own heart, for sure.
I looked at pictures and headlines before I even looked at the article.
Just saying, I'd appreciate if you laid off unwarranted personal attacks, and let's end this here.
The GAF FC(guild) is on the Ultros server
info on how to join is on the first post in page 1

Definitely the highlight of the Heavensward storyline imo. The end of the base expansion was awesome as well but this was a fantastic way to end the storyline.
I'm hoping they have more awesome stuff like this in future patches and the expansion since I feel they are getting better at this, say compared to ARR.
It's pretty clear that since Coil had such low completion numbers that they're funneling the types of things that were cool in Coil into the content most people will be doing.
Even mechanics! See: Towers in Thordan, earthshakers in Sephirot, etc. Hell we've already got stuff from Alex savage making its way into the MSQ since the A5S bomberman bombs are present in Final Steps.
They've got a formula down for "cool" in-engine cutscenes now since 2.55 and HW (along with Hildibrand elevating to new heights with things like the clothesline into DDT) and I'm wondering if since Coil had that CG cutscene after beating T12 we'll be getting a new one in either the final wing of Midas or the storyline left leading up to the next expansion.
Along with cool solo duty things like the end of 3.2.

Little over halfway through the Heavensward main story...
They just binged watched Game of Thrones before writing this, didn't they?

Yeah, I don't mind this new approach. As for a CG cutscene I wouldn't be surprised if we did get one going into the new expansion.
Speaking of Hildibrand I haven't done any of the Heavensward Hildibrand stuff. I better get on that.

So i finally got the black mage job. The archer class just pales in comparison the black mages aoe nukes.
fuck man, these look good but i doubt i'll pay money again for ff14 stuff
blm used to be aoe king, now it's smn
but i think from 1 to 50 blm is probably still better? once you reach 60 then smn is better

So, doing main scenario missions, and the majority (or all) of the quests in each new area I came to, almost allowed me to get to 60 alone. Stalled slightly before lvl 57 cap, but I was close.

You mean for Heavensward right? The story quests alone will get you close to 60.
Look forward to all the stuff after max level too.

I don't know if I did too much before going into it, but I've started doing Heavensward main quests and I'm already half way through level 59 and I've just gotten to Dravania. Hate to think of all the exp I'll be throwing away soon and I have no patience to bring up an alt class to the 50s. 
That aside, my god are these english VA changes horrifying.

I've really enjoyed the story line for the expansion. Doesn't hurt that the music is always on point too. I gotta say, I'm surprised at how attached I;ve gotten to Eorzea and my own personal Warrior of Light.
I also like that I'm able to complete a lot of it in SP mode without heavily coordinated groups. Sure, Final Steps took me all this week to finish, but at least it beats never touching it.
The only content I haven't gotten around to doing was the coil of bahamut stuff. I';; check it out some day I suppose.
I'm curious as to what
Yda and Papalymo have been up to, and if Minfilia is just the crystal lady

English VA changes take some getting used to. It was pretty unexpected. Since you probably started after Heavensward came out I guess that means you were getting EXP from all the level 50 quests they added after the base ARR game so you're a lot farther ahead in terms of level compared to people who started Heavensward when it came out.
Speculation point towards Ala Mhigo as the location for the next expansion.
Yda and Papalymo are running with some rebel group
My bet is that the next expansion will take us to Ala Mhigo and the region of Gyr Abania in the northeast of Eorzea.
Yda and Paplymo are probably working with the Ala Mhigan resistance against the occupying Imperial army.

I didn't know Ala Mhigo played a role in 1.0. The only thing I know of it is what's popped up in the ARR main storyline and whatever job quests mentioned the area (like the Monk job quests). After considering that they definitely need to go there next, also taking into account
Yda and Papalymo's recent activities makes it very likely.

Unless things have changed, they don't provide any support on weekends. Unless it's an in-game matter a GM can respond to like harassment.
Why not just race change.

Been playing the free trial, the first MMO I've played.
Love the way the game looks.

You don't want to see the color of her pantsu?
i was thinking , now that the sour taste left behind by Gordias lies well behind us :
Should SE ever bring back a savage raid gatekeeper like Faust ?
an add or trash mob that requires a group to bring their A game or you simply won't be able to even start Savage with your group ?
should such a thing even be implemented in the MSQ ? like for example you have to be able to kill this add in this amount of time or you simply won't be able to start the trial ?

Haven't you done Midas? Hummelfaust was a thing the first week, this isn't exclusive to Gordias.
Even ADS at ilv60 wasn't exactly faceroll. I'd like more minibosses in general.
Edit: I don't think this is ever going to happen for MSQ though, they need the 400 DPS DRG (like the one I got in Final Steps yesterday) to be able to complete it or they'll simply quit.

Has anyone been able to successfully skip a Savage floor since they implemented Raid Finder?
If this Reddit post from 2 weeks ago is to be believed you can't skip a floor now?
Edit: forgot there was a hotfix this week, it's apparently been fixed. We'll see tomorrow I guess...

Old content is old, but last night I finally cleared Ravana EX.
Story goes as so: My older, bigger FC we did this at the beginning of HW. My item level was around 190 but we struggled with this fight, or at least I did. Couldn't get used to his constant stance changing, his (what I assumed were) random mechanics and kept dying to many of them. My DPS was just god awful. Many times we never passed the butterfly phase... never finished it.
Weeks after the fact, around 3.1 actually, FC drama happened and we broke up. Since then I couldn't find the help to beat this fight. No one likes to teach and deal with people who have the dreaded "bonus" attached to them, so I was left with that quest on my log for months.
Last night, neighbor FC asked through linkshell if they could get some help on a farm. I've offered to help if they don't mind taking a "noob", she was okay with it since there were people who were kind of unfamiliar with the fight.
Even unsynced, there were some struggles with most of the group, even though they cleared it at some point. I've struggled with the same mechanics as before, but suddenly it all started to click, one by one. Some of those recent dungeons I've spammed over and over on Expert secretly taught me how to deal with certain mechanics and now I can recognize the pattern. After a few wipes, we get a clear. Cleared it a second time, I had the highest DPS and LB him before he did that bit where the swords appear above your head. Though it was late and people needed to leave, the leader of the other FC asked if I could come along and help with farming in the future, of course I'd be happy to oblige.
Sorry for the story, but I was pumped as hell finally beating this. Being unsynced helps, but man it was a long time coming.

I don't play an Au ra woman but I don't like the way they mount either. Much prefer my elegant fem elf pose <3
That sounds fine by me. I'm ready to get out of the snow.
Anyone playing on Odin (EU) ?
I started up my free 14 day trial and will buy the game on steam for the free 30days (only 5$ during summer sale !).
Went with a gladiator, just hit 16 and working on some tradeskills.
Quite like what they did with the game, hadn't tried since beta..

I wish there were some "THIS IS A TRAP AND WE SHOULDN'T DO IT!" options...
That being said, Bismark fight is a lot of fun.
