I'd do more coil if casualGAF wasn't so scared of it

I'd do more coil if people weren't prone to bickering and whining because they take it too seriously. Which I'm guessing scares a lot of more casual people off.

So instead I just do coil with people I probably won't want to slap afterwards.

It's a pretty small set and not terribly reliable, but hey.

You have to take it kinda seriously but you're right, if you're not having fun there's no point.

You want to slap me, don't you Angary?

Anyway sidestepping the whole rewards bit.
I'm excited to hear about all the first week of suffering WoD will offer to new and old players alike.

The problem I see with this is, like, Coerthas. There are multiple book FATES there, plus I think a CT unlock FATE, plus Svara, plus potentially seasonal stuff. You can only have so many FATES up at once, and if nobody does a given FATE it takes 15 minutes to time out.

I don't know how well the FATE system could adapt to guaranteeing fast spawns of all he FATES needed in the zone. Weighting them all the same would still lead to situations of RNG screwing with you.

The thing too is you can end up waiting way more for an hour for a fate to come.
Thankfully I'm using my time by doing something else outside the game like reading a book or watching a movie, but at the same time one shouldn't have to do that.
I watched 2001 space odyssey and Apocalypse Now waiting for 4 fates.

Probably dunjin drops, man. Get hyped for all dem mat drops again. Star Anise for dayssssss

Well, it looks like the pictures are flipped? Cause they have the WoD sets, or what we thought were WoD sets from the Famitsu preview, under the new dungeons section.

They may be holding off on welfare gear this time around because they need to make the content last longer in the run up to the Expansion. Optimistically we're talking about 4 months until heavensward, and patch 2.5 part 2 is supposed to be pretty light content wise, isn't it?

Personally, I just think it wasn't mentioned in the notes. Don't think they'll skip out on at least Carboncoats in WoD.

Honestly, it's probably more people like me.

It's just the NA preview that has them botched like that.

Well, we have a few months of gambling addiction post 2.51... I don't feel like Saucer alone will do it though, but we'll see I guess.

Ah, ok. The better looking gear is from dungeons then rip.

New FL mode sounds fun but they kept the GC thing. :<

The drop rate for Alexandrite when completing a FATE with a gold rating while equipped with an animus, novus, or nexus weapon has been increased.

Hope it's as dramatic an increase as the Atma buff!

I've wanted to slap everyone at some point or other, it's mostly a percentage of likelihood of it occurring thing.

I figure it works because if you're so serious you're regularly getting on my nerves, you're probably better off without me there laughing at wipes instead of getting annoyed. Everyone wins!

Has Yoshi ever stated why you can't group up for Low Level Duty Roulette? It feels like a huge oversight. =(

My stance on it is I don't really mind wiping as long as people are there to try and get it done; I'm not really about people actively trolling or just goofing off during attempts. Like, someone in the group needs/wants the clear so why waste their time?

Because the whole point of LLDR is to not be doing it with a full premade. It's to help those who just solo queue all the time.

Granted, it should probably allow two people queuing together without ruining things but oh well.

Some really nice QoL stuff in this patch. I also want Adrenaline Rush in PvE over dumb LB.

But all you stealing glorious Highlander male /pose?! More proof best race.

you read my mind. So did they change the gear preview pics between the dungeon gear and WoD? I thought the first pic was WoD gear and the 2nd pic they showed was dungeon gear. Also you can get hq redolent logs/antumbral rocks? Time to see what those get me

Highlanders so full of themselves.

midlanders are posers and cat boys are nobodies

The image sets are swapped because we didn't build enough LB.

I tend to assume honest mistakes instead of goofing off (especially since I tend to be on so late--people not operating at peak mental capacity), and outside of Xtech can't think of anyone who intentionally trolls (and Xtech's trolling is usually recoverable if people are paying attention), so I guess I just don't get mad? And tend to not want to have to worry about my inability to mechanics being misconstrued as trolling. Plus in general the quickest clears are going to not involve me so if I'm in the party your time is already wasted, RIP.

Thank you Highlanders for beta testing this pose; now you can see how the real emote pros do it.

Can you not color your chocobo unless it's in a stable? And do you have to buy a plot of land to have a stable?
Try checking the chocobokeeps in the cities to see if they have the option of helping you dye a chocobo without using a Housing stable. I'm not sure if it's been patched in yet, but it was definitely mentioned sometime ago that players would be able to dye their chocobos without using an FC/Personal Housing stable.

If they do, here's the crash course:
Use this site http://ffxivchocobo.com/

Find out how many of which fruits you need to reach the color you want. Then you get all of those fruits, and force-feed your chocobo all of them in a rotating fashion (ex. apple -> pineapple -> pear -> apple repeat etc.). After that you don't touch your chocobo for 6 hours. Leave it in the stable and don't take it out until you interact with the stable and confirm a color change.

Anybody else getting really bad lagging in the past couple of days? Especially in instances.
This is seriously like what.

"Goofing off" is people on alt classes they don't know how to play and trying to do content that actually sort of needs them to know what they're doing, not like ... forgetting to do a mechanic or something. Mistakes happen, I don't really care much about them (except where tanks are tanking things when I'm on a melee, fuck you guys and your anti-melee agenda).

I realize how hypocritical it is to say that when my alt is a WHM.

And tend to not want to have to worry about my inability to mechanics being misconstrued as trolling. Plus in general the quickest clears are going to not involve me so if I'm in the party your time is already wasted, RIP.

;__;

I don't really think people making mistakes on mechanics is that big of a deal. It's really more about people's attitude towards the content where they're either actively trying to mess things up (e.g., all those T7s right after unlock with "lol stone everyone" going on?) or just going in without caring at all on content that they totally need to be caring about.

Like, I don't mind helping you or Xtech or others on T10/T11 at the end of the week because I know you take it serious enough to try and get it done as opposed to just being there hoping you make it to loot phase.
