That language Kagari.
Definitely. I wonder what kind of a mess their backend is to justify the $18 (right?) price tag. Going by the transfer requirements, probably a fairly big one.
Thank you! I know it was a dumb question but googling anything level related just gave me endless level up guides and grinding guides and what not

Well, Blizzard charges $25. Making money always is a nice thing.

Trying to get a group together to do the fates required to unlock ct is becoming a real pain. Perhaps I will have better luck tonight. I should be able to grab my first soldiery piece tonight at least.
I believe those have been nerfed.
Remember hearing about how an FC mate was able to solo them now.

Except for the ones that use Stoneskin, they're all very soloable. If you have a job that can silence or stun the stoneskin, even better.

Looks like it'll be out on the 24th. Japanese PS+ subscribers got access on the 11th.

Thank you very much!
I've gotten one; I think they're rarer than the common stuff but not super uncommon on the level of a nutkin.
You single-handedly ruined the GAF house on Ultros for the entire day.
I am so proud.

Yay! They're finally doing maintenance when I'm not actually going to be around to play! I can go enjoy The Hobbit now without worrying about missing something in the game.
After playing as a Lalafell since April I decided I wanted to change my look. I went with a Hyur Highlander. Still kept the youthful look of my Lalafell.
Now your name is just silly. Prepare for /upset spam.
Reasons why I don't mess around with Det IV. I did two infusions on mine, one at 100 and one at like 90 something and I nearly didn't do the 90 something just in case.
I thought that ring would carry you guys through :<
Should use poison pots.
You bought her a ring? Was it platinum?

There is no tank swap mechanic in Turn 10, correct? Just wanted to be sure.
There is. If OT gets heat lightning during charge then they need to swap so MT can eat the charge. OT will die if they try and tank the charge with the debuff.

Right, it is every odd heat lightning up until the last phase and then things change a bit.

Okies. Makes sense, tried to tank Charge (with the lightning resist debuff) when the other tank forgot to cover and took 26k damage...=(
I will remember that if I have to tank 10 again.
And beg the OT to communicate these things to me.

I'm not that kind of guy. It wounds me you would imply as such.
BUT NOTHING.
We don't tank swap, i just holmgang and worst case if i get another charge the MT does hallowed/tempered.
Never had to tank swap.
Also.. One shotted 10,11,12 feels so good.. Specially since we downed 12 on monday for the first time.
T13 is lots of fun, that tank damage..

It was better than lights, imo.
Awh man..
I always get really pissed off when we are so close to a kill and we wipe, makes me wanna rage quit.
You'll be needing that 400 in T13 i can tell you that haha.
About the 3rd phase, we have our BRD kill the little Bennu's one by one when the Big Bennu is around 30%. That way you get a nice flow where the dps is always hitting shit.
So.. kill the first little Bennu in the middle > move > kill the big bennu that spawns > when the big bennu is at 30% BRD kills a small one > move > big bennu dies and next big bennu is up, rinse and repeat.
Just a quick note.
It feels to me like the Zodiac grinds item drop rate was about ten percent, give or take. That's actually better than the old Atma drop rate, heck I would've killed for a ten percent Atma drop rate back when the Atma grind was new.
The difference is that Fates only take a few minutes, especially when you actually have a team doing them. Dungeuns, "can," only take a few minutes, or they can take significantly longer. Plus, even with a 10% drop rate, it's very VERY possible to get dungeons where you need to run thirty plus times to get your drop. Or, in my case, three dungeons that I had to run thirty plus times to get my drops.
Did I mention already that my hands really ache after all this? D:

Nexus and Novus steps both need to be nerfed. I'd argue that out of the two however, Novus is the worse grind. The reason for this is simply the amount of Materia you need for the Novus. The Alexandrite themselves really aren't that bad, in fact if it was JUST the Alexandrite I'd rate Novus as one of the more enjoyable steps.
However, with Determination-4 Materia being 500+K a pop, and Crit-4 costing a similar amount, you either need to grind out an absurd amount of Gil, (absurd for most players,) or you need to do a rather large Spiritbind grind.
Nexus needs a nerf too, especially seeing as we're nearing the expansion rather quickly, but it's also going to be rather easy to nerf that step. They can simply double or triple the values of each tier of light. So one becomes two, two becomes four, and so on and so forth. That cuts the grind in half (or less,) and turns it into something people can do casually and still expect to complete with 2-3 weeks.
Mind you, if we weren't nearing expansion time, I might consider that a little excessive. However, most people are assuming that the Zodiac weapons aren't going to be useful come Expansion time, and the developers have to be aware of that. If they want people to continue making Zodiacs, they need to make the earlier steps more approachable.
That's kinda important, because when people feel like they've ran out of things they want to do in an MMO, they quit.

My static finally cleared T5...at 5am.
FC couldn't make the cut so we did a PF and asked for everyone to know what they were doing but alas, there was one person who didn't know what to do for fireballs or conflagration.
Why do people expect a carry and think it's alright?!
