Is it really surprising though, when there's like more Warriors of Light than normal people in the land? I wouldn't invade that shit either. It's like invading a town where every other person is a super hero(mind you I'm sure this happened in comics).

Should have been smart and invaded during the Tanaka 1.0 era
Had all the time in the world with a defenseless Eorzea devoid of life instead they just lobbed idle threats while we were in Thantalan.
Oh well.

Really want to get back into this after watching my cousin play but not sure how crysta works anymore.. Anyone know how much crysta I would have to purchase for a one month sub??

Well entry sub is 12.99$ or 10.99euros, I think the crysta stuff is the same price, so 1100 or 1300 crystas, which mean you'd need to buy 1500 and have a bit left over. I think that's how it works, but couldn't say if that's correct.

Almost every Protag in this game is a bumbling fool after the 2.0 storyline. It's pretty silly. I almost root for the bad guys. Which bad guys? Any of them.
 
Weird my DS4 all of a sudden doesn't work playing the game on pc now. It was working this morning but not now

nevermind the settings in game was changed to a different driver
 
They might want to consider buffing the health of a and s ranks because it's darn near impossible to get to them in time before they croak. I did one a mark because it had the courtesy to spawn right in front of me when I'm doing dailies lol.

Anywho, operation find a static has been a disaster, time to move on.

World would of been better off had the Empire won. I wonder how different things would of been had Midgardsormr not intervened and used the old dragon death grip technique.

Man you give up fast.

I assumed you were talking about your post a little bit ago about creating your own. Otherwise doing what Ken said and just pfing filling in holes until you find a competent group who needs a permanent member. There are lots of people who clear stuff via PF every week, unless you only play at really dead server hours I'm surprised you haven't found one yet.

Most of the primal summoning seems to have resulted from the Garlean's invasions, not to mention the seal breaking when they killed ol' Midgard Zolom; dudes are just as incompetent as everyone else!

Odin isn't that difficult, but (DF) people don't know how to dodge aoe and kill things at the same time.. I just want to clear it dammit. D:

Are you still on Ultros? Lots of people seem willing for that vanity. It's also much easier in premade since you can one tank it and make the dps check simpler.

Okay, which one of you is Makoto Narukami. I keep seeing you.
This patch must of been really successful if Makoto is online on a non-raid day.

he's that guy with the BLM for dummies blog post a few pages back

did you see me :3
But of course I did! I come across many adventurers in the day-to-dry grind of things, but your name [or rather, the "Soul" part] seems most familiar.

That's assuming your forum name shares a similarity to your in-game one, or this is just an insane coincidence. >_<

You're the "Soul" I was thinking of then!

Nice to meet you.

WoD isn't nearly as bad when you have a competent group that doesn't wipe. Was doing my weekly for my Carboncoat today and we almost made it through the entire thing without a single raid wide wipe. Only wiped on King Ahriman at 1%... However, everyone quickly learned and it was smooth from there on out.

I am undefeated with the glamour gambling. Winless with trying to win an EB partner for Galen.


I only win bets when losing would finally free me from WoD hell. I have never been so pissed to win twice in a row.

I don't even mind the content but solo queuing is killing me, and I still have to do CT and ST this week.

So how the hell do you dodge spells? I avoid the AoE but the spells keep hitting me anyway.

You need to be out before the cast bar ends, or it doesn't count as dodging.

I do, but it seems like there's a 50/50 chance of the spell hitting me anyway.

But only if popped ahead of time. So just (mechanics spoilers just in case)
run away from Dark Pull until the DoT wears off. During this, pop buffs you want up + Sprint and you'll have 10 times their duration during the actual meteor phase

I still need to do CT, ST, get WoD weekly loot, and I guess cap poetics for my alts? RIP 2.5

Do dungeons and carry me through all the Crystal Towers. Then you'll cap, we'll both get poverty coat, and you'll unlock EXDR for future capping.

You're not getting out in time--the last sliver of the cast bar is often too late due to latency, too. You'll get a better feel for it the longer you play (which doesn't necessarily help you dodge, but you'll know when to expect to drop dead 20 feet away from the AOE because you were a hair too slow.)

It's weird but there's no real trick to dodging AOE (outside of, like, Lunar Dynamo where if you're not running out before the cast starts you're screwed, but by the time you get there you'll be crazy familiar with AOE) aside for getting a feel for how your connection and the servers interact.

I've been doing the Brayflox's Longstop dungeon, & it seems like it's all dumb luck, I sometimes avoid the boss's dragon breath attack while the bar is at around 60% & still get hit, while I sometimes barely make it before the bar fills & avoid it. Brutal Swing seems to be a safer way to avoid spells since it's 100% foolproof.

Either stun the dragon, or run as far as possible to the side once you see it start. Gotta react asap.

Finished all the dungeons today, so, all that's left is Hildibrand, and I'll have cleared all the major content for this patch. Hard to decide which one I like the best though, it feels like I had REALLY bad luck with pugs for AK and WP. Really bad luck with pugs in general this week. I think a lot of lapsed players have jumped back on. I mean, that's sorta good, sorta bad.

At a glance it all seems at least a little better than the last set of dungeons, ESPECIALLY Satasha HM.

So I'm at 0/39 on Snowcloak as my last dungeon for relic.

I did 1/1 or was able to get a decent amount done within a couple runs of other dungeons. DD was 1/1 and AV didn't take that long. But AK, Bray HM, and Stone Vigil HM did take close to 10 runs, a bit more for some. But this 0/39 is absolutely insane.

2 and half hours until I finish work and can finally resubscribe and start playing again. Been out since 2.3, really excited to start up again!

As for Minfillia, I liked her. She's not an amazing character by any means. In fact she's pretty useless at times in terms of contribution. But (as of 2.3) she seems pretty earnest and honest enough as a character. She could do with some more clothes though

It could just be connection and latency issues. When I played at my sister's with 10/2Mbps connection I definitely a few problems and got hit by a few AoE's. At home on my 74/40Mbps connection I have zero problem dodging an AoE in time.

Also if you weren't fully sure the cast bar and the ground AoE indicator are all that matter. The actual physical on screen effect of the move an enemy does is just for show really. So say an enemy does a frontal attack. Once the AoE floor indicator disappears, you can safely move back in front on the enemy even if the actual animation of a breath or swipe hasn't happened yet. When I Tank, I find it easier to run through the enemy just past the centre of the circle, and then back once the cast bar/AoE indicator disappears. Less distance to move to dodge the AoE and be back in the right spot compared to going side to side
 
finished melding my accessories. i still can't believe i've melded 4 Accuracy IV with 16% chance in a row. this kind of RNG only happens in this game.

last one took 5-7 tries. anyway, i'm pretty happy right now.
 
Its goddamn easy if people aren't completely retarded. Pro-tip: pop sprint and all your cooldowns before you go into white world kek. Hallowed ground for 80 seconds or something is legit eheheh

This is silly. The only pro-tip you need for that part is LB the Aetherial thingie to end the phase right away. You don't need 80 seconds of Hallowed Ground when you can blow up the Aetherial whatsit in 15 and get back to beating his face in.
