That's phase 3. I'm assuming they are talking about how the music
kind of syncs with the dragonsong dives
Yes.All this music talk. Would this be considered blasphemy in this thread?
The only acceptable settings:
And then I always have to mute in idyllshire
I'm not too worried. A move westward (if making ping worse for Europe) is more likely to improve things for the pacific region. Whether or not it makes for an appreciable difference though...
Yes, Final Steps phase 2 also perfectly syncs with everything: cleaves, tank busters, jumps. T13, Ravana and A8 also work like this, it's the one thing that I really like about these hard-scripted fights.
It's actually also super useful for timing my skills, lol.
More fights should sync to the music, especially fights that are especially important, like T13, and Final Steps.
The way Dragonsong constantly plays during the cutscenes leading up to the fight, and when the cutscenes end and leave you on the Steps, waiting for you to initiate the trial? Well done, Soken and audio team.

After looking around in the game files I found an image showing what 4.0 Paladin will look like.
Warriors and Dark Knight mains should get ready to move over.
time to fight tankbuster with tankbuster

Do you guys think there will be any creator savage nerfs? They don't need any but I want to laugh.

Warp to Limsa, use the ship by the arcanist guild, you are now at Vesper Bay. There is no need to add an aetheryte there.

That's almost identical to my settings.

You fiends!
There's no mechanic in there requiring actions that only some jobs have access to, so no.
So the down time for the server migration is going to be 48 hours.....
All them loading screens though
There doesn't need to be anything but it would improve so much for new players. I remember complaining about this when I was running through 2.x for the first time

I know but it would be funny if they nerfed damage or something or health on adds.
The one spot I wonder about is pyretic Photon in A11S, solely because if you random queue double WHM things are more awkward in a way Echo can't help.
It's manageable enough that they don't have to change it, but I wouldn't be surprised if they made it drop you to 500 hp or something instead of 1 just to avoid no shields->instaquit becoming a thing.

I wonder if you can skip that phase with enough dps. Guess we'll find out in 4.0
I don't know, I've helped a group last week where
the healers were bad
But yeah, no shields would make things a little bit awkward.
I just did Titan (Exteme) unsynced. That was a lot better than Garuda. I still would have liked to have done it synced, but I probably never would have beaten it. People must have spent a lot of time practicing and coordinating when it was new. I can't imagine doing them when they were new.
I can clear Garuda and Titan on hard fairly easily. I got some practice on them last week. I got both of them two times each doing the Trial roulette for Tomestones.

Producer Live Letter on April 2nd.
Oh yeah, there's that too.
I feel that it adds more emotional weight to the fight when certain actions sync up with changes in the music. I expect them to continue this trend in Stormblood.
I wish we got this stuff even if they just put it up on Mog station.
I really want the Dragoon staff that's part of the set.

man the kintoun's pretty dope

That's three loading screens instead of one.
hopefully they spend time on explaining samurai and red mage's battle system
regarding the new monkey king stuff, it's probably going to be on amazon again for NA region
you mean you got to the enrage and it was still 18%?
probably just dpsing problem or people dying too often
Seraphis Cain
bad gameplay lol
Are you trying to do it synced? If not, why not just use the Party Finder? Advertise it as WT or pony farm. Boom, instant party.
No I mean I got it to 18% before my PUG wiped to some stupid shit. but at least I know the whole fight now.
2 of my DPS in this group has less DPS than the tanks...
Yeah I was trying to find synced, as it's the first time I'm doing it (just unlocked it).

Lol, @ this group wiping a11s 1% with 4-5 balances cards. Next pull was 2 percent. Dps was too low. Maybe echo will be a good thing for people, lol.

I freaking hate Thordan.
Nearly 30 runs today and not a single bird drop.

They said they are not going to go over battle system changes till later.
But I don't see why they couldn't give us a rundown on Samurai and Red Mage.
So yeah, I hope they do just that.
I also expect them to cover the MSQ, reactions to it and what it means for Stormblood.
It was fun! I got the Levi pony which means after however many years I finally reached my goal of getting Kirin without ever actively farming for ponies. I picked up the last 3 just doing weekly WT the past few weeks. I look forward to getting that bird one in two years.

Anyone who hasn't switched over to the DX11 client should so now.
There's a lot of nice graphical improvements in addition to what appears to be faster load times (on my PC at least).
Could do it after next week's post-Dun Scaith run.
Oh yeah, I encountered another Power Slash spamming Dark Knight today.
I just told him to MT and stopped attacking until he took aggro because I am not fighting against that shit. I wish they would add something that requires you to know how to actually play your job to progress but I know that will never happen.
I might just start using Warrior for trials since I imagine they can stand against these guys with BB.

I can't use the DX11 client at all for no reason, because it just makes load screens randomly take 5+ minutes.
This has been a problem for me since launch and I've tried everything in my power to fix it. It's stupid because switching to DX11 means I get a solid 60 no matter what, but I'm not putting up with random 5 minute+ load times.
It's not even a case of a load taking longer than it should, the game freezes completely (it does the thing where if you click on it windows says the program isn't responding.)

Do you have an AMD card?
For a while certain AMD cards had that problem and random crashes including mine. That's why I've been using DirectX 9 all this time.
I just got around to installing the latest drivers for my card even though they apparently fixed it a long time ago so try that.
Nope. Nvidia. The dumbest thing is searching FFXIV loading screen freeze DX11 only brings up crashes and how to fix those. The game doesn't even crash, it just takes forever to load randomly every few load screens.

I found this;
Is this your case? For the record I have an Intel CPU with an AMD GPU so that might explain why I don't get the same issue.

You can buy 115 gear from the vendor at Falcon's Nest. You'll get more stuff as you level up and do dungeons and run into more vendors in towns as you progress the MSQ.
If you do Palace of the Dead and get your Aetherpool Arms and Armor to +30 you can trade in those points for a i235 weapon of your choice (whatever job you are at the time will determine what weapon you get) for use at level 60.
For Level 60 gear there's AF i200 armor (Tavern guy in Ishgard, you use Centurio Seals from the clan hunts to buy these.
Lore tomestone armor which is i230. Scripture tomestone armor which is i260.
If you do PvP there's Garo armor you can get that's i235.
In terms of time required to get doing PvP is probably fastest for the Garo gear I think.
Do the frontlines roulette once a day and by the time you hit 60 you will probably be able to buy some of the Garo gear pieces immediately.
