Is there even a minion in there? idk
At least OG Thordan music is back for the latter part of the fight.
Sucks for those people.

So who wants to setup an 8-person WoD group where we run once a night for 8 days and we all get the minion?
What's the issue with that one? After the first it was probably the easiest one on the All GAF run we had. Mechanics seemed pretty simple, avoid tentacles, stand on platforms when obvious.
Also, if you ever wondered how to pronounce that boss's name you can check out this charming tune by Shane McGowan.
The group I did it with didn't even wipe on it, and it was everyone's first time.
They need to buff Void Ark. Too easy.
I remember they bragged how the new dungeons were supposed to be hard and they're Sastasha level in reality.
I still need it.
I didn't play for 4 months or so, resubbed and planned to play Nov and Dec at least.
I think it was a bad idea or something, but I can't find duties anymore and no idea where/how to level. Barely see people around anywhere.
I stopped at lvl 50 SCH cuz I didn't want to play healer anymore, and got a DRG up to 35. I decided to do a BLM instead but it's really hard to level if I do Duties. I'm stuck around level 20.
Maybe I should just keep going with DRG which I got to level 37 on the weekend.

I don't think they should nerf it, it's just there's people not killing the towers, leaving the slimes in the aoe and getting shitted out, not running into orbs when they r standing next to them, standing in the poison, etc. Ironically, my first run took much less time around 2 hours after it came out. Every run after that has been a bunch of people derping.

I loved Void Ark. I was totally getting that H.R. Giger feeling off of it. I hope we get to explore more of that scenario. I haven't tried Thordan EX or Diadem yet, but I've finished everything else.
Glad to see hunts are not dead, as well.

Every group gets one now?
Attempted Thordan with some random people. Seemed fun though we only got him to 70 something percent... Haha.
Hope to clear it sooner rather than later so I'm not left in another Ravana Ex situation where I'm spending weeks just finding groups that will allow me to join with the bonus >.>

Fallout 4 isn't amazing or anything.
Bethesda clearly has no fucks left to give, it's literally 'Skyrim with a Fallout skin'. Even the music out in Commonwealth sounds like Skyrim's music. The conversation system basically turns the game into 'Mass Effect Lite' in terms of your character, the NPCs, and the chats you can have. Much like Shepard, you can no longer truly be evil when doing the main quest, you can be good or reluctantly good.
Anyways, it doesn't seem like 3.1's MSQ content is really in a quantity worthwhile to resub FFXIV for a month to play through. I might wait until 3.15 or 3.2 or whenever new Hildibrand content drops before I do a resub to do the story some more.
All I remember him saying is that anyone who cleared Ravana EX would probably be able to clear it. Don't think he tried to say it was harder than A3S.

The Giantbomb Ultros house is bemoggled now thanks to our expert crafters. 
In one of the Japanese interviews he was asked the difficulty and said it was hard.
I think he said somewhere if you could beat A1 and 2 Savage you'd be fine... but honestly I thought the fight was easier than both.
Nothing is easier than A2S

You just know the GAF house will look like that soon...

He's only saying that because Dramasuar told him to.
Nevermind, he contradicts himself in his own answer. Not like A1S is exactly difficult as long as you have the DPS. Staggering the resin bombs is laughably easy.
From the Live Letter XXV Q&A session.

Did Diadem for the first time tonight on normal and I thought it was awesome. Hunting for stars and high risk gathering were fun. Fighting the Brachiasaur was a riot, wiped everyone once with about 80 meteors, the second time there were only about 5 people left standing when it died. Got an i210 piece to drop from every gold treasure chest we spawned. Trying to beat some of these NM's on hard mode with a full gaf alliance is going to be something else. It has the potential to be the first somewhat hard 24-player content.

The entire point of this patch's gear is to let more casual players catch up to the bleeding edge raiders.
Yeah, this is literally what they do every single cycle. Raid with best gear patch > Casual junk to get raid level gear patch > New raid junk patch > repeat.

The lord of vermillion is a lot more fun than I thought it would be. Its a great time killer in between ques for island exploration. It'd be nice if I could get something worth while from island exploration though.
No, you get something you can turn in for Gobcoat or Gobtwine in Idyllshire. One drops per week for everyone.
It's as difficult as the group makes it for you which is true of every mechanics-based fight.
You should have received an item called Mchacha Farthing (?) in your inventory. If you had a full bag it'll fall to the floor and I'm not sure if you can get another one in the same week.
You take that item to Idyllshire and trade it with one of Rowena's girls.
You should probably reset anything that queues longer than an hour.
