Hey everyone!

I'm thinking of starting FFXIV in the next week or so, but I'd really like some friends and stuff before I start playing, so I thought I'd say hi .

 

[Phlebas]

Lol that new thread title

It gets thrown in there, I promise!

[Jayhawk]

If any tank on Ultros is looking for a progression group (starting with T5 and extreme primals), please contact me in-game (Natasha Jayhawk). The group is just missing a tank, since one tank we thought was part of the group has not logged on for days and has not been responding to PMs here.

 

[plasticpassion]

I am loving this game so far. Graphics are beautiful, mechanics are fun, and I love how easy it is to find groups. I'm going to submit an app for the neogaf guild

 

[Zeppeli]

Is there any trial for this?

Hello. If you start up, I hope you have a fun experience.

Questions on Turn 6 for Summoners. How do you guys/girls handle your pet on it? The summoner in our group is having issues with it, so I thought I'd ask to see if anyone has any insights.

 

[Kagari]

Learning Turn 9 is pretty fun, even when we wipe. It's like they took every mechanic from previous boss fights in the game and put them in once instance.

Ahaha, well there's that too... CT comets, the dragon adds from multiple places, golems, landslide-type mechanics, divebombs, healer debuffs...

 

[midasmulligan]

There's an NPC called Eustace in the Quicksand who gives you a quest called "Leves of Horizon", do it and you should be able to do the levemete unlock quests.

Yep, went to see that guy too, said I looked too inexperienced...

Almost seems like too much at times. I'm sure it'll feel really good to finally win.

Yeah, unlike Turn 5 it seems they stacked the toughest stuff in the latter parts of the fight.

I still think the boss is just a Diabolos clone.

 

[Aeana]

I still think the boss is just a Diabolos clone.

I wish that were true.

 

[Ken]

I wish that were true.

Asset-wise!

 

[Aeana]

Asset-wise!

Diablos doesn't have a massive tower that drops in the center of the arena and pushes you to your death.

 

[Ken]

Diablos doesn't have a massive tower that drops in the center of the arena and pushes you to your death.

They both have Lunar Dynamos (Ultimate Terror) and Novas (Graviball). But then I guess the original Nael might have had those too so maybe Diabolos is the stripped down clone.

idunno i'm just bored

 

[Killthee]

Is Archer the class you started with? I think you have to do the "Leves of Bentbranch" quest instead.

 

[Enthus]

So I'm re watching the behind the scenes from the collectors edition of the original 2010 release. All these messages about how they hope this is a game players will enjoy for 5-10 years and how they have strived to make the best mmo experience for the players. lol


Also, they show a damn musketeer when talking about the armory system. Hop on it, SE, it's been 4 years.

After spending weeks trying to clear this with my FC...

God, this feels like such a weight (HEH) off our shoulders. It's gonna be so nice fighting something that isn't this fucker for once.

 

[XenoRaven]

Rhetorical question.

Is spending 12 hours on T7 in order to kill the Prosector one time and then immediately wipe good progress?

Someone shoot me.

 

[tiggerkiddo]

The boss of Turn 13 will probably bring back rot, Siren's Song, Twisters and the Zombie debuff, in addition to everything else.

If it makes you feel any better we spent 3 hours in there and only got the first Lamia add down once. Its the little victories that count I guess.

EDIT: Unless they are the prosecutors. Then it probably doesn't. I can't remember.

Prosecutor is the final add.

Now you'll only hit the wall of doing Turn 5. At least... that's the wall I'm stuck at.

Just finished up the main story quest. The last dungeon was so epic!

These credits though

There are cut scenes after the credits if you didn't know.

How often does the duty roulette daily bonus reset. (Yes, "daily", well done smartarse!) As in, I entered a duty at 23.50 on Thursday, beat it at 00.15 on Friday. Is that Friday's bonus used up now? Does it run off GMT for EU servers? Is it a straight 24 hour wait after your own last bonus?

Pretty trivial, but I want to know whether it's worth signing up for another one tonight. The exp you get from the bonus is amazing.

Daily resets (DR etc.) occur every day, 15:00 (GMT).

Weekly resets on Tomestones of Soldiery, Binding Coil 2, Challenge Log etc. occur on Tuesday, 8:00 (GMT) since 2.2.

You'll be able to tell if you can get another bonus. If say "bonus already recieved" or something in the roulettes description.

Upgraded my Curtana, so Titan EX is going to die tomorrow.

Lunar Dynamo is a similar move Nael did in 1.0.

Further proof that the gaf fc goes full on weird mode at night(eastern time night) ._. Who was this LOL

 

[Dre_G_Writer]

Man, why is this game always in maintenance so much??? I work all damn day, and get home at night to play and the game is in maintenance. Every week, it's in maintenance.

lol i knew someone had to have capped that.

 

[Nothing1016]

I play from 11PM to 4AM PDT time and some of conversations are bizarre or the chat box is lonely. Also, how come gaf likes sleeping? At most there is 37 people on in the FC when I play.

welp, time for me to quit the game

who wants my gil

 

[tiggerkiddo]

For you career tanks out there, which dungeons did you find the most difficult to tank? I know Bray can be fun and Stone Vigil is fun for absolutely no one.

Guess I need to hit up some dungeon guides now, tanking these dungeons has taught me how little I knew about them.

 

[IvorB]

gotta get that daily muscle exp bonus

Indeed.

 

[Aeana]

It's fairly standard for MMOs to have weekly maintenance.

The specific nightmare pull in Stone Vigil: the two Dragon Aeries and two Ice Sprites. It's small wonder the room is constantly skipped even though there's a valuable ingot.

None. Seriously none.

Tanking isn't difficult, moving out of stuff isn't difficult, getting hit for a lot of damage because of the arbitrary damage(SV) isn't difficult and I had 38-40 HQ gear I made for myself and STILL got hit for a lot. Same with Bray. All I need to do is keep hate, move out of stuff, and not be an idiot. I've been playing since the game came out(2.0, not 1.0) and most of the dungeons were made annoying, but not difficult by stupid DPS players.

It's like these people that ask which Extreme is the hardest... None of them are difficult, especially Titan since his rotation never changes. I haven't done Moggle Mog EX yet, so I can't comment there, or even gotten past T5, so I guess that would make me bad.

There's been a few for different reasons that I have loathed tanking:

- Halatali - mainly due to the amount of level synced DPS who just want to get through it for hunting logs who run ahead and pull everything without waiting for you. If I get a sensible run, I do enjoy it - it's just the disproportionate impatient DPS.

- Qarn - mostly due to the second boss who attacks pretty much everyone except from you even at full aggro, leaving you feeling awfully inadequate.

- Stone Vigil - there's nothing fun about it.

- Aurum Vale - see above.

YMMV, though. I'm currently levelling up MRD/WAR to see if it's a PLD thing, or if these dungeons are just universally not much fun.
