OH MAN
I'm holed up in an alley in Kugane spam crafting and some catboy named Qwasi Owasi shows up and starts crafting but IS NOT wearing honey yellow.
I thought it was just a weird coincidence, but I now realize it was an omen to prepare me for this joyous news.
Thx. Ra's al Ghul is my mentor.
Most people do front lines right now due to 5m queues and easy exp.
PVP is kind of confusing; there are two main types. There's Frontlines, which is the 24-man battle stuff that usually has PVE components, and there's The Feast, which is the 4v4 or 8v8 stuff and offers ranked and unranked options.
Both raise the PVP rank you see at the top of your PVP profile. The Feast runs seasons for ranking, and Season 4 of the feast ended with the drop of 4.0; right now is the season 5 preseason, which means relatively few ranked matches.
So if you're just looking to increase the rank in the PVP profile menu, Frontlines will be your best bet. In terms of actual competitive PVP rankings, you should see queues pick up with Feast season 5 starts.

Tried climbing the tower in Kugane for 30 minutes. Kept hitting a jump I just couldn't figure out. Left before getting too frustrated.
have you tried 8v8 or frontlines? i think the reason 4v4 rank has a long queue is cause the pvp season hasn't started yet.
I did the 72 match one, it's a huge cluster-fuck for melee, or maybe I just suck.
I enjoy the 8v8 and 4v4. But I guess I was specifically asking about the 4v4 since it seemed like people were trying to actually win instead of just running around everywhere.
The pvp is really just fun to do instead of doing quests all day.

This is why I'll never trust my life with Elusive Jump.

At least you're floor tanking in ~style~ with Elusive Jump.

Yesterday I got to 1% on Susano ex. It was an enrage wipe.
I'm pretty sure this is harder than the first batch of hard and extreme primals except Titan Ex from 2.0

1.0 at launch is the worst game I've ever had the misfortune of playing and I can't see hat ever changing
Ramuh ex and Mog ex were both awful when they first came out
ehhh i think ravana ex was harder than susano ex
hell as a blm i think lakhsmi is harder (mechanics wise) than susano, the only thing hard about susano is dealing enough dps the whole fight to race against the enrage i feel
considering this is a brand new expansion and most players probably are still unoptimized skill wise i guess that's understandable

Susano ex has a lot of mix ups of mechanics that people struggles with it a lot, the most common one is alingning red marker + cloud, and a bunch of others. The dmg problem comes from the fact people dies a lot, which is more punishung now for dmg than before.
The fight is easier than Ifrit EX and Garuda ex, which harder part was for tanks to manage to provoke properly an add.

Is there a card that can get a steady 60 fps at 4k yet? Actually choosing to play in the mid 30s with my 980 at native 4k than 60 at 1080p because it's so jaggy and gross looking.
Just beat the second primal, slowing getting through a Realm Reborn!

Leveling crafting.
Leveling gathering.
And then the cold hard reality that leves are not unlimited comes crashing down on me.

I took a break from ARR playing a BRD and came back after HW was out. Decided I wanted to be a WAR so levelled that and finished ARR to get into HW. Then took a break and decided I wanted to be a DRK but then took a break. Finally took a break and came back with SB and decided I wanted to play SAM so had to get that from 50-60 before I could play the new expansion.
My advice is just stick with what you are and get through the content and then once you're at level cap, go back and level alt jobs. Because boy, it's very easy to get distracted and never do the cool shit which is the story and primal and dungeons etc. Which are always more fun closer to when they come out.

Server down? [nope]
Same. logged back in after 722 days with a level 34 Monk, and I've just hit 40 (like minutes ago) and having a blast.
Edit. Ugh back in a queue now grrrr

Do we have the slightest inkling as to the iLvl req? I don't know if there is precedence but I'm guessing 300 or 310?
Can I ask a question about Apartment Housing? I've never tried to get on the property ladder in FFXIV so to speak, but I'd really like an apartment in Shirogane, and I have the 500k gil required.
I know this is quite a competitive thing, when will they be available to purchase and what's my best shot at getting one?

Nope I caught it last night after finishing the fish quest but assumed it was intentional since I only remember it from the fishing ones.

They don't have too many mechanics, but several variations and combinations of the same few and they don't really have DPS checks besides the enrage timer and the transition phases.
Lakshmi is super forgiving. Vril last a long time so timing isn't that important, and missing a vril isn't the end of the world for most of the mechanics anyways.
Susano is a bit harder, and I think it's closer to the middle of the pack when it comes to EX primal difficulty IMO. I'd say Ravana, Bismarck, and Sophia were easier.
There are only so many puns in the world.
And you are one of the few people who actually complain.
In other news, DPS queues can go and kick rocks.
For the normal raid? i290. Gordias was i170.

You would not think such a thing if you watch SGDQ last night and saw the Nier Automata run. Koji Fox was probably taking notes

Ah, thank you.
I am like 305 at the moment, want to try EX Primals later...if its easy enough I can start farming for the gear...but Omega raids will be the first ones I do on release and in a FC so I'm excited for it. Even if it takes a while before we fight Omega itself.
oops, dp

I finally beat the last ARR dungeon!! Doing that in a public group was a -bad- idea, stopped to watch 2 cutscenes and by the time the 2nd one finished the rest of the group killed a boss and completely vanished and I got lost and couldn't find them. Thankfully the game warped me to the end when they started the last boss but yeesh.
Oh wait, still have to do another 100+ quests till I can even start HW
Donkey Kong, the warrior of light and savior of Eorzea will have to keep picking up herbs and cheering on civilians I guess.

Hit 70 last night, about to finish the MSQ. What should I be doing immediately? I'm seeing Ex this and EX that.. are those hard-mode versions of bosses?
What is? Accidentially naming three different quests with the same reference because the only fish joke they could remember was Hitchiker's Guide?

Yes, "Extreme" versions of Lakshmi and Susanoo, which both give you some of the current highest iLvl gear in the game. However you unlock two new dungeons (one in Rhalgar's Reach, another in Kugane) which, when completed, allow you to do the Duty Roulette Expert and in general start farming for Tomestomes of Verity which pay for the highest iLvl (current) gear in the game.
However tomorrow we get the first part of the Omega Raid and I think a new tier of Tomestones so it might be obsolete : / Compared to farming for Scripture, Verity is really easy (imo) as the turnaround to get a piece of gear is much quicker. Hopefully the new stuff doesn't make it korean MMO style grinding.
Tome stones are the 18th, so you have a couple of weeks of Omega gear and then Ala Verity gear.

Ah, joy.
Not entirely sure I'll totally keep up with the gear but hopefully I don't fall too far behind
I was thinking of doing a tank after I get to 70 with my WHM. Do you guys think the Dark Knight is ok? I heard bad things but the starting at 50 thing seems really appealing. I don't mind starting from scratch since I want to learn it properly but if Dark Knight is not as bad, (hopefully even better after some patches) I'd just go with that.
