The Fall and Rise of Final Fantasy XIV | Episode Five | End of an Era

 

[Meowster]

Well.. it was sad to be called "a stupid retard" by a member named Laura Bailey during a trial against Garuda on Hard but the rest of these primal fights have been a blast so far. I love how they just throw them at you at the very beginning of level 50 and you can just go from there. I did them to unlock those class specific weapons. I have a couple of Extreme fights on my duty roster but I'm too nervous to try them out (probably not experienced enough even if it says level 50).

 

[Qvoth]

my brother's probably going to stop his sub until stormblood
he has a few weeks remaining on his auto renew sub, if he stops the sub now and starts again for stormblood, he will still have his remaining game time right? i think i've heard something like this

That hamlet defense thing seems pretty cool.

I wonder if they're ever going to add that in again.

 

[Razmos]

PSN is down and so I can't play

Game doesn't get past the loading screen

Speaking of Garuda HM, it seems like nobody can do this fight properly anymore these days. I still get it once or twice a week, and even when I put a waymark south and say "please bring her to the waymark" they keep tanking her inside the tornado in the middle, even after getting knocked back and losing a bunch of HP.

Calling anyone a stupid retard in an online game says more about them than it does of you.

Running in circles around a tree for 25 minutes as a tank sure was fun gameplay.

I must have missed you. Will send the ships out this weekend for you and mail you the horn when it comes in.

Oh great. Thanks!

Does anyone know why the number of days remaining on my subscription isn't displayed anymore on the character selection screen? It was displayed when I started playing last november, but it's not anymore. It was quite useful and I liked it being displayed.

Can anyone tell me what the music during the Scathach fight in Dun Scaith is?

 

[Haly]

I feel like throw away Nidhogg's eyes was a bad idea. Should've broken them.

Oh well I guess it's setup for Return to Dravania.

 

[Eldren]

"Mhmm, mhmm, oh ok, mm"

"I know some of these words"

Okay this got a chuckle out of me. Your face in the second one is great.

Voidal Manifest, Same as the other female final boss battles of the 24 man raids.

 

[B.K.]

I did Ifrit Hard a while ago. It wasn't too bad. The worst part was in the final phase. I guess the other tank and I stunned it too much. We couldn't stop Explosion and I got caught up in it a couple times and got to about 600 HP. That was the worst part of that fight.

 

[FinaruDensetsu]

Anyone here play FFXIV using the Steam DS4 software?

Everything button wise is working fine, but no matter what I change regarding deadzone and whatnot, my right stick (camera) always has drift if I'm moving it. Like say if I want to zoom the camera all the way out, the camera will drift to the right.

Bad players in FF14 are extra bad.

I had a fun time but there's a lot of responsibility as a tank that makes me extra nervous whenever I start a duty. I try to read up in advance or ask for general advice before we advance. So many of these second tanks are so overleveled compared to me that I can't take the aggro off of them and just have to do my best to keep it going. But I haven't had any issues and haven't died against any of the hard primals except Garuda - which was my bad but I corrected my errors in the second time. Just did the Leviathan HM and it was easy but a fun spectacle.

So is there any point to Dissipation?

 

[aceface]

So is there any point to Dissipation?

You mean when you kill the fairy?

It's for pumping out some extra dps or oh shit moments when your WHM died.

 

[BadenBadenLily]

Is the Valentione's Day event just that one quest or is new stuff added daily for the duration of the event?

can someone confirm this? :<

 

[FinaruDensetsu]

I don't think so. If you cancel the sub it still continues your current sub and just tells you how many days you have left and that it won't autosub you. I don't believe there is a freeze option.

 

[Ixian]

can someone confirm this? :<

When people say you have your remaining game time, they probably mean when you cancel your sub you still have access until the remaining days tick down (a few services I've used will instantly revoke access to your account if you cancel, but I haven't seen that happen with an MMO).

It kinda sucks we can't do palace of the dead by cross server.

 

[Qvoth]

when you enter by matching party is it not already cross server?
unless you meant fixed party by making a cross server PF beforehand, it doesn't work in this case?

 

[VanillaCakeIsBurning]

It boosts damage? I thought the 20% was just for healing but I guess it could be good if you're at some part of the fight where you don't need the faerie healing anything.

 

[Critical Elk]

Dissipation is +20% healing potency and an additional three aetherflow stacks, so it's sort of like a 450 potency attack if you spend all the stacks on energy drain.

No, cross server premade parties only work for party finder content.

There's only one quest but if you choose the same person 3 times you get extra dialogue at the end so it's worth doing the whole thing 3 times. You can also buy an Orchestrion roll and the cupid minion from the vendor to the left of that Hortefense guy. I think that's it for this year though.

Is there a way to only subscribe for one month? So far, I had to input my credit card to pay for one month, and then unassociate the credit card from my account. That's not very elegant.

Change the payment method to Crysta and then load it with enough crysta to cover for a month. If there is not enough in it for the next month, then it won't resub you until you chose to.

You can also subscribe for 1 month only with credit card without having to cancel, it does so itself.

Add Subscription > Choose Standard, 30 days and your credit card, and then click Next.

I never unassociate my credit card.

just fyi but sub price per month actually reduces the more time you sub, with 6 months sub essentially the cheapest

Oh ok, I guess that makes more sense.

Now I just need a few more levels on AST and I'll have all 3 healers at 60.

So it's just extra dialogue and that's it?

Wait until you do EX my favorite mmo boss of all time.

 

[dryuriev7777]

How do you get as far as Gubal Library and not understand the basic, telegraphed mechanics of the Demon Tome even after we die 3 times and I explicitly explain them to you to the point that the game forces us to vote if we want to stay in it or not, which of course everyone votes to leave.

I'd really like to get my DRK to 60 today, please.

 

[Haly]

Just spam palace of the dead and ignore those bads.

 

[ViciousDS]

Hey GAF starting back up. Have bards been made fun again since the launch of 3.0? I absolutely hated what they did to then with WM.

Also is Gilgamesh still the go to server for population and end game? If so guess I'll have to wake up at 3 in the morning to make a character there.

Is Kag and everyone still on Ultros?

I can't speak much for Bard as I've never touched it, but the new cross-realm party finder should make participating in end game activities easier on lower pop servers.

 

[B.K.]

How do people keep up with all the boss gimmicks in the game? Every boss is complicated. Does everyone just keep a wiki up on a second monitor?

That and repetition.

I just want to say right now that I hate cannons. I just did Stone Vigil Hard and we died on the turtle boss three times because another guy and I couldn't figure out the cannons. I finally figured it out at the end of the second try. They aren't intuitive at all. They go against everything I've seen in the game so far. I'm used to every ability going off as soon as I click it. It took two fights to figure out I had to select the ability, place the cursor, and click the confirm button. I expected it to fire as soon as I placed the cursor and clicked the ability button again.

There are videos you can watch for EXTREME fights.

I've been watching MTQCapture videos on Youtube for hard stuff that I'm about to do and I keep wikis open on another monitor. FFXI and XIV make me glad to have two monitors. I don't know what I would do without them.

I memorize them but I know people who keep notes.

I know I'm far from the smartest guy around, but I don't see how anyone can memorize so many bosses.
