Desperation city of people trying to lose soldiery bonus so they can join farm groups.

Because no one is on! But idk, there's something exciting about doing turns with people you'll probably never see again, thankfully in most cases.

These should have been in 2.56.

FCOB NA character clears:

6: Sargatanas : 473
7: Leviathan : 432
8: Ultros : 342

The war has been won.

What's kind of interesting is that it looks like Ultros has a marginally higher clear percentage for "active" players--2.85% vs 2.79% for Levi.

Also interesting is that it looks like the srs hardcore endgame NA servers all hover around 5% FCoB clears based on the minion. JP servers look at our puny clear rates and laugh. Except for Shinryu. What is Shinryu's deal?

Stolen from reddit:

28k out of the 36k T13 clears are on JP servers, and 8k are on NA and EU servers, which works out to about 1.8% of the NA/EU population.

Yeah, this is the relevant slide. It's interesting to look at individual world stats beyond the larger summary, I think. For all that Ultros is ded, at least we're not Jenova or Zalera with .35% clear rates. Their PFs must be so vacant.

...and now I wonder if FCoB carry prices are higher or lower on servers with basically no clears. Maybe they don't exist even, and everyone is still selling T9.

I would like to see the numbers after the expansion comes out.

I also wonder how many people will still try to clear FCoB after Alexander is out. Could be a good number of people since there is still T5/T9 clear parties and all.

Hey guise, I just started playing Final Fantasy XIV and I'm really happy to be... oh. No one is playing?

Well, I'm happy to be here anyway. :)

Feels good to be one of the 342 on the server. Unless those numbers are really old.
Click to expand...

That can't be right. We also have people with T13 clear experience doing it on their alts, which would further pad the numbers. Is this by account or character?

Number seems really low, but then again it would roughly equate to 42-43 Static Groups.

T13 clear numbers aren't 100%, but they use the same method they used last time: Countng characters who have the T13 minion, because while you can hide achievements you cannot hide minions.

Since the minion is optional, it's not 100% accurate, but the assumption is that if you care enough to get the clear you probably care enough to get the minion (even on an alt.)

Also I can't really read the footnote because lol kanji, but I think it says character counts were scraped from 4/10 -4/16

The Last Pre-Echo T12

Highlights include random tank suicide at 6 minutes in, and the other tank apparently getting jealous and just straight-up DCing at 8 minutes in.

I still want to figure out why I decided life wasn't worth living anymore.

It was actually pretty fun, given that for three solid minutes I was expecting somebody to call a wipe any minute. But no.

Oh man, we had a huge freaking storm and my internet got knocked out legit all night from that D: Felix told me you guys cleared and got junk though, so there's that. Grats?

Dude look how good my corpse is taking over for Rin when he got Revelation'd to death. Man. I'm so good even when I'm dc'd.

That site just gives you general numbers. I remember i used it to see how many nutkins people had on ultros and it said like 3. I know Felix and me have one, and I know I've seen like 10 on random people, so with small numbers take it with a grain of salt.

With the introduction of both Story and Savage in the expansion. I wonder how long before we'll see requests for nerfing savage as well.

See, my takeaway was that you're much more pleasant to run content with when your internet is dead.

Now you are back on the internet and things are unpleasant.

Still, it was a fitting end to pre-echo FCoB.

The hilarious thing is most of these clears are filled with alts from the same people. The group I run with does three total groups.

How badly do iLevel requirements screw up the ability of doing FCoB as a group on guaranteed-to-fail alt jobs?

Did this just ruin the one guaranteed source of hilarity currently in the game?

Oh man, I didn't even think about checking the ilvl requirements: i110, i115, i120, i123.

10 should be fine I guess but 11+ won't work on jobs people haven't put any effort into gearing yet (which tend to be the funniest?)

Although you can probably cheat the right side with wrong-class accessories for a boost.
