So at the risk of being serious for five seconds: I am seriously impressed with how well you and others have been taking advantage of the lockout removal. After a couple of weeks of it going unused, last weekend's first round of final coil stuff and this week's PSN-failure-inspired T10 blitz (and hopefully 11 and maybe 12 for the advanced class tonight) is demonstrating the utility of a feature that most people initially reacted to with "who would want to cut their loot?"

A lot of people are putting in serious time wiping in stuff they've already cleared this week to help other people for literally no personal benefit; for all the bullshit and backbiting that happens in this thread, Ultros GAF is actually pretty cool.

yea i like the lockout removal it lets you run with other groups so you get a inside look on how they run and get tips for later runs

Not true at all. If you buy the game you'll get a free 30 day trial but after that you have to pay a monthly sub, PS+ or no. Perhaps that person meant you don't need PS+ in order to play FFXIV. Since PS+ is required to play other games online.

This is what I thought too, but he seemed adamant about not having to pay the monthly. Thanks for clearing this up.

It's funny how letting people actually play together works out. Now imagine if they did this from the start I bet there would be a lot less elite people around.lets hope they stick with this formula.
 
Assuming we can get 4 DPS capable of pushing it, T12 might actually be the easiest of the three so far since it's just burden of knowledge otherwise. I really want to test that theory.

If our static doesn't clear T12 tonight (7-9 PST) I would like to ask for a chance to do T12 GARF as healer (SCH/WHM). A chance for some loot is better than none.
 
I heard something about PS+ being the subsc----

Hey guys I'm making an account for the 14days up to lvl20 trial on PS4, what should I be sure to do to play with (or even just "encounter") gaffers? Specific server and such?

On mobile, can't check the op atm.

Ultros. We are an awesome group here and I have found a lot of enjoyment from being part of the FC.

Got my first Behemoth and my first Odin today and got gold medals in both. Had to ditch a duty finder group half way thru when I heard Odin was up and feel kind of bad, but my chocobo looks like a rude dude now, so I don't feel THAT bad.

I do like the new system. I can't take full advantage of it mind you, seeing as I have a group and they're still working on certain content. Even if I wanted to get T11 practice in, (Which I do actually, T10's getting fairly close to being routine by now,) I couldn't jump in and do it without dooming the rest of my group to 1 drop for the week.

Maybe I'll be able to take advantage later, I dunno. XD

Incidentally, does anyone know the date of the next Live Letter yet?

GARF can be the second full GAF group to clear T12. I believe in them!

The GARF Apollo Program does not stop at Apollo 12. Reach for the stars! Interstellar was brought up in this thread recently. As McConnaughey's character in Interstellar mentioned, we are explorers and pioneers. GARF Apollo 13 will happen. Believe.

GARF needs more HP if they're to survive. :eek:

Yeah, GARF T13 will primarily be about people taking the effort to meet the height requirement of the ride.

Or like an extra month of poetics and drops.

Once YoshiP provides the stimulus package for the GARF Apollo program (CT3 and/or Hunts 2.0 for those Carbontwines and Carboncoats), imagine the possibilities.

Okay, been meaning to ask. You know how you can scroll through the enmity list via holding the Left Bumper and hitting up or down on the D-pad?

Is there any way to reassign that to the Right bumper? As is, that feels an awful lot like doing the whole Claw motion. I ask because, tabbing through targets can be pretty imprecise and time consuming, when there are a lot of enemies on screen, but, Left Bumper plus D-pad feels really uncomfortable for me.

Options/System/System configuration/Controller settings, then press the begin button configuration, and swap L1 for R1. This does however make autorun R11 and cycle hotbars L1.

Rude comment? Really? It didn't ever occur to you even once that maybe I actually was pissed and maybe you should just apologize? Even after Felix found me a very short time later and wondered if I was pissed in a chat you could see and I told him I was, you didn't seem to give a fuck. If you had just said "Oh sorry my bad I didn't mean to spoil that shit" then I would have been fine with it and probably forgotten about it by now. I honestly don't get your thinking here at all and I'm not sure how to get through to you at this point either.
Yeah I'm sure you were pissed, it doesn't make your comment any less rude, and telling someone to fuck off after they make a mistake doesn't endear apologies for said mistake. It kinda makes you look like the asshole not the victim.

Discussion of overreactions aside, I'm not sure on the exact expiration date of in-game spoilers, but it definitely exists. People got upset if you showed that pic of Bahamut after t5 or mentioned Nael when they were first being cleared, but after a couple months people just stopped caring. It happens with non-endgame content as well like Gilgamesh's tease at end of first Hildibrand questline. It's not about ignoring/shaming people who want to play a certain way like someone else mentioned, it just something that happens semi-naturally over time. It should be noted some of the people saying it's not a big deal (about t13) now were ones complaining when Punch did it without thinking a couple months ago. Things change, "assumed" information just sort of happens with a game like this. I mean damn, there are in-game items you can find on the market board that spoil this particular thing.

I don't make the rules.
First the BLM thing, now this. How long before you begin your campaign for a "pure" Eorzea?!

also can I get in on that

Lalas and cats don't deserve to leave Eorzean soil. If only the new land in the Expansion we're flying to was full of pure, non cat/potato master races.

I don't understand how you can measure distances in dead Lalafell if they're barred from entry.
Hey now, let's not take thing out of context. I believe it was just measured in lalafell period, not dead. And I was against the idea. Blame your husband.

Yeah but downside is that new land is ruled by a bunch of dicks.

When is the Ala Mhigo reclaimation/revolution expansion.

My sneaking suspicion is that outside of Coerthas Dravania, etc, we'll only see small peeks of additional lands like Ala Mhigo.

Think, like how Coerthas is now.

We might have to start a thread on the Guildworks site for weekly GARF availability to participate in the Apollo program. Many spaceships, pistons to run the engines those spaceships use to fly, and armor from an alien dragon race to get!

This is starting to get too complex for me.

Where's the cheapest place to purchase a PC copy/download?

Going to start a second account I think...

What for, out of curiosity?

I have a spare digital CE code; I accidentally bought 2 when drunkenly trying to get this game a few days ago during their sale where they were like $15 or something. If it's an account you're going to sub on, I'd be happy to give it to you just so I could use that refer-a-friend thing and get free stuffs.

So I started playing this game for about 7 days now (14 day trial) I am level 20 already which is the level cap for trial. Now before I buy it.

Is the CE worth the extra money? I was hoping steam would put it on sale during this holiday sale but nothing yet. So I might wait it out until sale is over before I buy it. Just wondering if you guys think it's worth the extra money for CE?
 
It's worth it for the chubby chocobo mount.

EDIT NO JITSU:

Thanks Garf but lesson learned, not bothering with BLM in endgame, back to WHM.

Any of you guys on a GTX 970? I just ordered one, and I was curious if it was enough to let you get away with supersampling. The FXAA implementation seems kinda weak, but the game scoffed at my initial attempt to force MSAA.

Also picked up a PS4 license for when my PC is unavailable, going to try that version tonight and see how it fares for myself. Just about to hit 30 on the Marauder... not exactly looking forward to leveling Gladiator to move on with Warrior; I wish they had at least put Provoke at or below the cross-class requirement level (or had just given Marauder their own Provoke) since it's such an important tanking skill.

Just to have another raid option, honestly...and the reason I'm considering a second account vs. just a normal alt would be to 2 box grind and stuff.

I appreciate the offer and if I decide to go this route, with the second account, I'll definitely take the offer and get you your gifts!

I'll know for sure tomorrow or Wednesday and let you know.

Thanks!

So is there any way to project a cowl onto anything? It says the cowl is projectable but I can't find any armor that will take it, even the heavy armor that takes both body and head slots.

From watching the stream, that 1% could be squeezed out of tanks using sword oath/no defiance when not in the MT role during last phase. Or from not so much Mage's Ballad, and making sure it's in range of the people that need MP during jumps. TP starvation is probably happening to your top DPS with all that Ballad and no Paeon since before adds phase. Healers would also save so much more MP if the tanks were the ones dealing with the Brand mechanic in the last phase, since the damage taken would be less... leading to fewer Cures.
