Oh, if anyone has a Pure White Dye on their character, would you mind selling it to me [if you don't need]? My Retainer isn't high enough to gather them myself, and there were none on the Market Board last I checked. I'd really like to dye my new weapon white, and since the available dyes [Bone/Snow White] are more "steel" than actual white, I'd like to switch to Pure White if I could.

I'm not sure what the going rate for them are, though.

What would you want it on? You can't trade the dye itself.

 

[chrono01]

Yeah, I just searched via Google and found out that's not tradeable. I guess that explains it!

I was going to dye my Augmented Ironworks Rod. Snow White it will remain, until I level my Retainer more.

Pure white dye is untradable unfortunately and you can't buy it on the market board.

I have plenty if you want to trade something to me and have me dye it. However, I'm sure your weapon is also untradable.

First night into T10 (For me at least) and the group got farther than before (10 percent)...way less mechanics to deal with than T9, I can see why those elite groups downed this faster than the rest of us.

Both turns (T10 and T11) are mechanically easier than T9. The main issue is either the higher DPS requirements or the flawless requirements. You either can't have anyone die in T10 or gotta push really good damage.

T10 will be an easy turn in a couple weeks with the more damage from gear.

Yeah, it's untradeable. Thanks for the offer, though!

I guess this gives me a reason to [finally] work on leveling my Retainer(s), so there's that.

Anything I can do to fix the lag in Dungeons? I have FIOS and my connection on other games are fine.

 

[docbon]

You pretty much have to use a VPN like WTFast or this game will fuck you over.

are you using verizon fios?

 

[docbon]

Yeah, I'm using it as a trial user atm. You literally just install it, log in as trial user, select FFXIV from the listed games, and select the server with the lowest ping. After I started using it, I no longer get the crippling 30 second freeze -> warpspeed bullshit.

I hope things get cleared up before this trial runs out though. ._.

Mine ends in like 3 days.

so ... well. Okay.

 

[tiggerkiddo]

Pretty sad the measures folks have to go through to not deal with lag.

 

[studyguy]

Running coil and lo and behold.
lag

 

[Azzurri]

Might sound dumb, but why is the game so quite? i.e no one ever talks in any of the chats.

Is there a server where people actually talk?

When does poetics cap reset? Is it Tuesday?

People generally socialize in linkshells.

Okay cool. Thanks!

 

[BadRNG]

So, besides raiding once a week, it seems the new patch smell wore off pretty damn fast this time around. =(

Is anyone really surprised? Outside of coil 2.4 always looked pretty light.

I've still got NIN to finish leveling but am taking my time, hoping queues smooth out soon. DA:I definitely has lessened play time though.

No blue grass? Shamefur. Here I thought The Reaper would be a man of constant sorrow. I expect this to be rectified come T13.

Your request is noted, assuming I remember by the time we kill Optimus Prime.

I was kinda thinking using Burning Heart because of the name of the zone

and Rocky IV best Rocky

Joined a T9 party on DF today, lol. Our "static group" was missing 4 people, so we DF the rest.

We actually got to Heavensfall. I mean, we died just before it lol.

I had that a month ago when I switched to fios... Only thing helped me is switching back to a different isp....

[Frumix]

Japanese tank Nael in the middle during phase 1.
I honestly don't know why. Kinda makes dives a bit harder.
Does stardust get baited to whoever's farther away from the middle?

Less movement for melee after jump is my guess.

Reddit:

I think people usually either tank Nael where she spawns, or in the middle of the arena.
My group prefers tanking Nael in the middle of the arena. Everyone can loosely stack behind Nael to deal with dynamo, and we just spread outwards to dodge meteor streams. Stardust placement is easier with the middle tank method too, as it often targets the furthest person. Our bard just stands in each placement point, and gets the Stardust marker like 90% of the time.

Right, so it's baitable. That explains things.

... I'm at 450 (i112) after P1 and P2 (we never had a good transition to P3 so I expect my dps to drop because of placement requirement with mechanics since we're running MNK/NIN).
Does you MNK has a i135 weapon or is he just that good ?

 

[retrogamer84]

Well it took longer than I thought it would, but I was finally able to unlock all the jobs except for Ninja. I just have 5 more levels for that. I am excited to check out the various jobs, especially SCH/SMN.

Probably because most people spend the majority of their time chatting in thier free company channel.

 

[squadr0n]

Anyone have a general idea what time the Xp bonus on the duty finder resets each day?

So close to 45 with my Paladin and about to hit 30 with my Rouge! Can't wait to try out Ninja and get to the end game stuff with my Pali, just feels like it's taking an eternity!

Twenty minutes ago. Same time every day, barring stuff like DST messing things up. Congrats on your makeup!

Thanks! I work nights so I've been waiting all morning lol.

I've seen a lot of ppl from the Terra FC in game lately. Seems like they have a huge guild as well. Where are these guys from? The Korean mmo? Met a few of them today actually that were really cool.

 

[Trojita]

Sounds like some static dps are going to be yelled out for low numbers.

Our issue with comparison is we've been dying in the add phase. Comparing it to a full clear is useless because add phase is a huge dip and DPS lowers but then is averaged back up by the rest of the bosses 60% of health.

 

[Ocelott]

Yes Verizon FIOS...Installed IT...And OMG I ran a Lag free dungeon...Fuck Fios i will glad deal with Comcasts BS if it doesn't cripple the game

 

[studyguy]

I outright refuse to pay for a VPN. I'm on FIOS, I pay for faster internet, not more latency.
Shit's ridiculous.

Why does DPS drop in add-phase for anyone but SMN and SCH? I understand you're moving some but not as much since we have assigned you to mine. Infact, aren't you moving more or same for nerve gas?

BRD, and BLM DPS should be relatively the same minus the drop from moving between sphere and egg, which I factor in. MNK should lose a bit due to movement as he's losing auto-attacks when WAR moves it, but shouldn't be drastic.

And I don't understand why SMN DPS drops so low during add phase since he's able to dot 2 mobs at once now. Can someone explain that to me? As both in T10 and T11, our SMN drops from 380+ to 320- DPS during add phases. Is it cause of the time to apply dots on both that drops it?

Restarting rotations for new mobs, forked lighting pulling people away (biggest issue on egg because that removes them completely), holding DPS for one team or the other to play catch up. It's not big things but there is a dip in DPS that would show up much more on a parse ending at add phase then a parse ending at the 10-11 minute mark of the boss dying.

Edit: for SMN, unless you can bane the adds ( can't in either turn I believe) then SMN has to restart all their dots manually. Also in T11 one of those adds is putting his potency in half.

 

[DarknessTear]

DPS increases the more comfortable you get with the fight anyway. I wouldn't worry about it that much unless you've been doing the fight for a long time, and as far as I know... you haven't.

Yeah, fair points there. We need to find a clear video with a constant DPS meter being shown to see what's happening.

Yeah that's not the issue anymore. We're comfortable with Phase 2. The issue is the egg dies just as Nerve Cloud goes off (i.e. it's still up during it's cast bar). We're not hitting the DPS check.

We've had the same issue (as have many others), though we have gotten past it a few times too. That egg is kinda hard to kill fast enough but it is definitely doable with practice. We did it without even LBing it once.

I honestly wouldn't say we are comfortable with phase 2 yet. Remember we had people who did not see repelling cannons.

If it helps, at least for bard I have my entire opener up again during adds and can use it. I also use Foe Req + Battle Voice to help the casters in that phase. You guys could also save a potion for the egg.
