No way, its tied to her story?!

 

[NCR Redslayer]

Finish the 2.0 Manderville quests before servers shutdown.

My posing game is as spot as a gentleman does.

 

[Lonestar]

bah, nothing like a last boss in Stone Vigil wipe with 4 minutes to go. Last 2 times a maint was happening, I've managed to be in Stone Vigil parties. I'm 1 for 2 on finishing them.

 

[Lunafreya Nox Fleuret]

I'm excited for palace of the dead tomorrow. I hope it is good.

Birds for Bismarck, Ravana and Thordan can now be purchased for 99 tokens in addition to the drop rate buff.

Lol... I was briefly discussing this with a pf the other day. Nice.


hmm 235 weapons from palace?

People used to tell me o throw away tokens. Fools.

 

[DrForester]

Deep Dungeon is Nyzul Isle...

please no....

 

[Sifl]

This is obviously my punishment for spending all my tokens (around 80 Ravana and 60 Bismarck tokens) for desynthesis purposes.
Edit: Also, lol at those pvp adjustments. Over 50% my alliance got 90k'd at least once in every shatter match I've played in the past week. Balancing pvp>pvp servers working properly, apparently

 

[Omni]

Maaan

I've wasted so many Thordan tokens for the sake of it. o.o

 

[Hasemo]

It doesn't mention it in the patch notes, so I guess the DD gear progress isn't reset every week?

 

[Sorian]

Who wants to DD static with me when servers go up?

 

[Glendemonium]

Glow knuckles look better than Sultan's fists... going to go MNK on this, screw alts.

 

[Altered Juice]

heh, so they made participation possible with DF huh?

50 floors dealing with passive aggressive assholes who only touch their keyboard just to input the ol "...." ellipses when something goes wrong.

i'll be awaiting the inevitable reddit/OF bitching about how it is SE fault that randoms can't get along.

[jorgeton]

Deep Dungeon sounds incredible. Just what I wanted, a rogue-like dungeon crawler with FFXIV's combat system. And the i235 weapon at the end of it is icing on the cake.

 

[Aadrian1234]

Tomestones and i235 weapon from Deep Dungeon. I'm not touching a single dungeon for a while if this is good

I'm also disappointed for no persistent /doze when standing and not letting you /doze on the ground anywhere you want. I really want that

 

[Lunafreya Nox Fleuret]

I'm not one to go farm 99 tokens but it is nice to have a drop rate increase. It probably wont be much of an increase but we will have to see. Sadly, I'll never get the Thordan one cause I gave up on pfing it on my server.

 

[Heartfyre]

I didn't really care for the new dungeon until I finished reading the patch notes, but it sounds like it's going to be great! I have more dailies than I have time, but I'm still going to try and get the first ten levels completed this evening. I'm sure thousands of others are going to do the same.

 

[Squishy3]

Apparently I didn't catch it fast enough.

"Due to ongoing maintenance, this page is unavailable."

Oh site's just messed up and the link doesn't work, had to manually click on the news topic on the site.

[3.0] The drop rates for White Lanner Whistle, Rose Lanner Whistle, and Round Lanner Whistle have been increased.

!!!!!!


...

White Lanner Whistle Expanse Totem x99
Rose Lanner Whistle Hive Totem ｘ99
Round Lanner Whistle Heavens' Ward Helm Fragment ｘ99

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Qvoth]

there's a quest that unlocks after you cleared 50 levels of DD? :O
2 new minions from DD doesn't look that good, the disembodied head resonator is probably the head mount that was revealed from 3.3 datamining, guess i'll aim for that and the aetherpool weapon for glamor

 

[NCR Redslayer]

Less than two hours until you east coast people raise and stoneskin.

Seems to be the ending of the best quest

Were do you get the new 135 weapons? PVP?

Also, the save system seems confusing, fixed parties vs duty finder. But the map and lv/gear progressions system seems nice, very roguelike.

 

[HylianScribe]

Glad they listened to the community about making totems useful for mounts.

For the mounts, a bit annoyed it's only 99 Totems. I said my bit on the OF that it should be 200. 99 can be done in like 2-3 days if you get a good enough group, and know there is a light at the end of the tunnel for extra motivation.

Also the upped drop rate was about due anyway. Maybe when a mount is new, it cost 200 Totems, then with each drop rate increase, you lower the Totem cost.

Eh?

Doing Thordan that many times is still a huuuuge undertaking. I guess Ravana and Bismarck are a lot quicker, but you're still talking about days of complete non-stop grinding. Anyone who does that deserves the mount, IMO.

Besides, for most people 99 tokens is a long term goal. As it should be

 

[Sorian]

Wonder how many tokens I do actually have. Bismarck, I should be in the 60s or 70s, Thordan is a mystery, hoping for at least 20+ if I'm lucky.

 

[Frumix]

One could see this happening from a mile away, the question was only when.

Have you only done Bismarck and Ravana in overgear mode? Because Thordan, Sephirot and Nidhogg are all 8-minute fights with little skip potential and doing those 200 times can piss right off.
And you'd think that by now people would stop having special snowflake delusions about anything in this game.

I don't know, my farming experience with PF has been as follows:

I always insisted on solo healing Bismark, Ravana, and Thordan, and I've had those mounts for awhile now.

Ravana is a joke and you should be getting like 10 or more kills an hour with a competent group since you can ignore adds and kill during swift Lib cast bar. This was possible before most people had 240 weapons.

Thordan you can kill right after the Dragoon jump/tether/divebomb phase and before the chaos phase of ice/tethers/meteors/gaze/swipe if you solo heal. Again that was before most people had 240 weapons and 235 didn't exist yet, too.

Bismark you can't push phases but you can obliterate the phases. First Adds should be dead right after 2nd Tank swap. You can kill Bismark on first attempt on his back with great DPS, or kill almost immediately on 2nd back attempt.

Right now Seph and Nidhogg are lengthy fights you can't do much about to speed up too much like the others. Once 3.4 raises the iLvL though, both fights will be much quicker - end phases sooner and solo heal viable for most. And will assume increased drop rate and totem purchase option will be available by then.

And aside from Nidhogg (okay and MogEX), I've cleared every primal at least 200 times by now. Some way more than that, maybe closer to 400-500 on the ARR primals.

Lol I still haven't had the courage to redo ravana after I cleared it a few months ago.

Hell still haven't cleared thordan

 

[Qvoth]

datamined info coming out
+30 DD weapon looks pretty bad imo, literally just glowing weapons

 

[Squishy3]

It'll be interesting to see if Nidhogg has a health percentage at which the final phase automatically triggers or if he just dies in that phase and nobody will ever see it again.

 

[Frumix]

Usually there's a bottom HP% threshold. What's more interesting to me is how do the bosses enrage if they're not pushed into later phases, Sephirot in particular.

That's great for you and all, but this game could use less bar-filling tedium, not more. 99 clears is just fine. There's other games people want to play.

Sephirot will just die before first Storm or during that part if I had to guess. Soon it'll go the way of Ravana and if groups fuck up and don't kill before x mechanic nobody will know what to do during da'at + yesod pillars

 

[Qvoth]

server's up

 

[SliceSabre]

Palace of the Dead is in? Time to resub for a month or two!

 

[Sylas]

Strange question but: Are there new hairstyles at the gold saucer hairstyle lady? Thancred and Y'shtola's hair were in the files but I haven't seen them yet. I'm also curious about the power ranger poses.

Levels 31-40 of DD have a requirement of arm level +8 or higher. If someone in your party ended up lower, you'll have to repeat floors 1-30 (although it's highly unlikely you won't reach the requirement after the second run).

 

[Qvoth]

finished level 1-10 twice, i'm at weapon+6 armor+7
pretty fun so far :3

 

[Hasemo]

DD is quite fun, but if I queue alone as a DPS, waiting time for floors 11-20 is 30+ minutes. Uh. Also SE tweeted that the area in which the entrance NPC is located reached a player limit on some servers. I don't get why they can't let people queue using the DF once the palace is unlocked.

There's no role requirements.

 

[Hasemo]

There's no role requirements.

I assumed that a tank is not required, because my run had 2 DPS and 2 Healers, but I thought that at least 1 healer is required.

Anyway, if there are no role requirements and the zone is full of people, unless the instance servers are full or something like that, queuing shouldn't take so much time, no?

 

[Qvoth]

the instance servers are probably super packed now, i'm in a 4 person pt and we're still queuing for at least 15 minutes

Yea, well, tell that to SE about the shitty 2000 Mentor Roulette mount. I would rather they nerf that over this. Or fix Frontlines so GC restrictions are removed so we don't have to sit for an hour+ per queue as Maelstrom. I would like to play other stuff, but last few days have been non-stop sitting in shitty PVP queue to try to do something that is 1) new 2) supposedly relevant. That's some broken ass shit right there.

 

[Jeels]

Congrats Yunafreya on your clear!

So how does progression work in DD - whats the incentive to rerun? You get to max level/complete 1-50.

I read that you don't actually permanently get to max level or something? How does that work?

Also, most important - new minions/mount?

 

[creid]

I got to floor 8 in DD, had to step away because someone did something dumb at work, came back to a 90k ;.;

Patch notes answer all of your questions.

 

[Tevren]

Did a quick solo test run in DD. I really like it, but am a bit confused about how your arm/armor saves upgrades. Do you have to clear the boss on 10th floor for it to be saved? (Apologies if i overlooked this, only sort of skimmed the notes).

 

[jorgeton]

Ran DD before work, floors 1-10.

I believe upgrades & levels are saved no matter where you quit, but only floor progress can be saved after each boss.
