Finally beat the main quest!
Man, that last fight was really tough. Took me a good couple hours to find a group that could deal. Lot of fun, though!
I've never done any of the difficult 8-man content before, for I am a filthy casual. How do the bosses compare to that final boss fight?

Took me a year to kill Coeurlregina simply because I just kept missing her when she showed up. When Odin spawns all you get is apathy and a hand full of people trying to kill him and getting wiped in humorous fashion.
It's very easy compared to the savage level fights. Probably on par with the easier primal hard/extreme modes. It's hard to gauge because the final trial isn't really hard, it's more just a mechanics/stamina check. He throws a lot at you but none of it is individually punishing.
Someone called out the coeurlregina fight the other day and I was bored so I went. Laughed when the achievement popped for my first clear of it. I assume I looked at the shit pimp suit that was the reward and noped out.

I have 5 people in my FC
Well, there's like 40 but only 5 people still play.
We have a pimp house though.
I found a linkshell for the only purpose of reporting foxy lady and Ixion (it does hunts sometimes too). You could probably find similar on any server.

Damn! He just seems to deal so much damage, I don't know how the healers keep up.

I'm not sure I understand. Are you guys talking about
Fordola
Yeah.
She's basically enhanced with artificial Echo, which lets her predict what her enemies are about to do. Just like (most of) us with enemy markers and cast bars.
It's only a lot if people stand in aoes.
Nothing wrong with a post like this, let's be real the expansions difficulty has been a joke so far and the simplifying of everything has basically made all the content so far a face roll. The primals were some of the easiest released yet, nothing changed with dungeons challenge wise, Omega raid is a pushover (expected for normal). Honestly our FC has gotten everyone through almost everything and this is only playing a few hours a night.
Compared to HW it just seems like there isn't a whole lot here and yeah I'm working on crafting and gathering slowly but it's not exactly exciting. I mean as someone who is usually behind the curve and playing catch up I was surprised at how easy it was to clear everything so early. I will work on leveling other jobs but doing it just because is not exactly fun just for the sake of something to do and the queue times are still crap.

How... do you.... wipe.... in the Vault...?

Queue times are gonna be crap for a long time. You should've expected this when they decided to add 2 DPS jobs to Stormblood
huh that kinda makes sense
But there's exactly as much content as Heavensward at release? I agree that the Extreme Primals are easy but at least both of them are relevant for item level upgrades, unlike Bismarck.

If by international you mean from china/korea, then yeah it's standard for mmos to lock regions that have their own version of the game because they sold the rights to publish the games there. Otherwise no idea what you're talking about.

T_T
Whoa, you never got a party that absolutely couldn't beat Ser Charibert (last boss)? I think I got at least 3 parties that abandoned in that fight during Heavensward days lmao.
"Guys, break the chains apart. Guys... the chains... PLEASE!"
I did and that's why I haven't exactly been jumping into leveling another dps class because the wait times are 30+ minutes.
That's fine, I'm just making an observation based on my experience with this expansion so far. If you're having a blast and everything is great, good, I enjoyed the story but personally have found things a little lackluster so far overall.

The Vault could be a nightmare when you got it in leveling roulette. Something about that dungeon brings out the stupidity in the player base.

This was predicted months before the release that people would complain there's nothing to do exactly like with HW. There's nothing to do because some people only play a little bit every now and then and they want them to still have a decent chance at doing savage when it releases and stuff. If you play everyday yeah there isn't anything to do anymore but that should have been obvious from the start that 3dungeons and 2 ex primals wasn't going to hold your attention very long, and especially not for 4weeks. Difficulty of the ex primals is entirely irrelevant too, still wouldn't take long to clear them.
FFXIV does that a lot. It adds a lot of content, but it's for the most part content that's "easy" to clear. I mean just as a reminder, once you clear savage, there won't be anything interesting to do for the next ~6months until 4.2. 4.1 will be 24man easy raid, 1 possibly hard primal but once you clear it it'll be easy and some random side stuff.
Can always take a break and come back later.
Personally still leveling a lot of stuff so don't really mind, but I like alts. Got monk to 70, then AST, then PLD to 66 but changed my mind and leveled Nin to 70 instead then leveled RDM and BLM in parallel, BLM hit 70 a few hours ago and RDM after daily reset, will go back for PLD and do BRD too and then maybe WHM+SCH for the Goddess of Magic title. Meanwhile Fishing at 66, Bot/Min at 63, crafters at 62 with CRP at 68. Don't really have time to get bored yet.

Cleared EX LAK last night, fun fight. Is anyone doing EX Susano tonight? Up for EX Lak again too. Lucifer / Zan not sure if you guys keep an eye on this thread, I'll be on tonight for sure.
"We're chained?! Best to stand on top of one another! HEY! Why are we dead?! Stupid healer!!"
I did a run as a BLM and the healer simply could not keep up on that last boss. They'd be out of mp and we couldn't survive the ultimate. Also we didn't have enough dps overall to kill all the orbs, even with me using caster LB2 to take out two of them. I think we wiped 5 or 6 times. Really slaps you in the face with the average players skill level.

Jesus.
Maintenance got rescheduled to be four hours earlier, so now the game is basically down for all of PST's prime time, from 8PM to 11PM. Boo, hiss, etc.
4.1 is also supposed to add the super savage "don't complain if it's too hard" thing; how well they design that is going to matter a lot for how the rest of SB plays out I think.

Goddamn, do they have maintenance every fucking other day? Is this normal?

Not gonna lie, I think I somehow lucked out on my path of leveling my Bard first. I'm going back and leveling DRK because I wanted to do a different class and don't feel like being a Healer. Leaving a lot of sidequests to do helped a bit, but there are many dungeons that I only ever did once and moved on.
Doing multiple runs of one, getting about a level each run, has been nice and breezy and given me time to work on tanking "properly" for now. Once I reach a threshold for a new dungeon, I switch to it. In fact, once I hit 50, I'll have several side dungeons I never even did before to get even more EXP from, plus opening others I may have missed because of it. Same with 60, to a lesser degree.

This one seems kind of abnormal; they do warn people at the start of every expansion to avoid windows they think they'll do maintenance on, which is a bunch of days every week to fix whatever bugs pop up.
This one being so early in the evening is weird, though. I haven't heard of any massive 4.01 bugs that would require an emergency patch, so super curious what's in there.
I'm interested to see how that plays out, I really hope it's as tough as they say it's gonna be.
Maybe I just do need a break altogether but I dunno maybe it's just the games formula I'm a bit worn out on at this point because I felt like this for awhile now and yeah it's a new expansion but it just feels like the same old stuff just in new areas.

It's normal during releases of expansions especially. Mix of a huge surge in users + sustained DDOS attacks means they need to bring the servers down often.
Meanwhile, in casualsville... I just got my Susan/Lakshmi kills and am looking forward to the capped tomes/crating gear because I'm actually getting invested in gathering/crafting this time around.
FFXIV doesn't add a ton of grinding content in general (save for relic) unlike WoW, so it's easier to feel like you've done everything. Plus, we've always had something I call fairweather players that come back for the content that interests them and then leave until more of that happens. It's by design because they firmly believe that you should allow MMO players a chance to go play other stuff. At the end of the day, if you're bored you should take a break rather than sitting there doing stuff you aren't having fun with. The beginning of an expac is always a general dearth of longterm content.

probably something exploitable for them to bring them down that early.
That's my feeling, anyway.

Patch is likely to fix whatever is keeping EU players who play on NA from being able to play. Constant and immediate 90k for those people unless they use a VPN. Been like this for a few days. Or maybe it's not and Square will continue to pretend it isn't a problem despite the long threads on the OF and Reddit.
You might've figured this out already but you should have two quests, one for unlocking leves in the area and then one that's the leve itself. Make sure you're checking for the initiate button on the leve and not the quest.

it's not bad. if you have a full leve allotment that'll take at least 2 to 70 easily. collectibles take longer but if you don't mind dropping a ton of gil for mats it can go fairly quickly as well
What would this actually accomplish? Like, patching them out gains _____ for the people who believe tanks should be VIT4LYFE? VIT doesn't mitigate damage, so healing them takes as many casts as STR tanks, and none of the tank busters in-game have an HP check that's impacted by the right side stuff.
I get that some people want to just stack VIT and that's fine, but I don't get the not wanting other people to have the option.

I'm see this requested a lot. What's the main issue? The fact that they lose the VIT?
