Uhhh maybe, but I missed the part about needing to finish all the role quests as well so that's its own block until I get WHM up.

Yeah actually how could you already have the requirements to get mentor roulette

There's no way you could be a PvE mentor yet considering you only started like a couple months ago. I'd be surprised if you have 500 comms already, honestly, much less 1,000.

And 1,500 dungeon/raid/trial runs? There's no way.

The original link I was looking at just said I need to have finished all this content and didn't mention actually being a mentor. I got punked!

Again don't worry you're not missing anything except getting synced extremes with an entire party of new players every time you queue.

It's not fun.

Do we know that he does? That tweet is from November 2020 and the RP server party finder stuff was from February this year.

Or has there been sightings of him since?

Edit: oh way definitely not based on the last few seconds, sounded like him for a bit after you said it.

Last week I didn't get any indication he was somehow doing this.

Also didn't realize that other tweet was a reblog from that long ago.

Been doing some Samurai, first time with melee DPS in any content post level 30.

Very strange feeling keeping the #2 enmity behind the tank so effortlessly.

I figured I would be fighting Black Mages for it, but it's typically Dragoons.

Ran a bunch of 80s tonight as RDM for Tomes, and all I really want out of Endwalker for it is an AoE Finisher combo from meter. Just make it work the same was Verholy/Verflare to Scorch but with Veraero II/Verthunder II and Impact.

MOULINET IS BORING.

Good thing you weren't around for Stormblood where RDM's aoe was literally "spam scatter until you have moulinet mana"! Definitely not the job of choice if you want engaging AOE.

I was utterly baffled about not getting more AoE for Dark Knight until level 72.

finished the msq. i enjoyed my time burning through it, although i can't genuinely recommend it to people that aren't already mmo fanatics

in some ways it reminds me of star trek- a long-running series that oftentimes has poor acting, direction, and pacing, but has interesting premises and settings, positive themes, and consistently portrays characters for a long enough period of time that you can't help but be attached

You did indeed stab me in the back. However, you are only level one, whilst I am level 50. That means I should remain uninjured.

i also just learned that raid queues in endwalker are going to have to fill *four* roles- tank, dps, healer, and shield healer. i feel like that's a recipe for crazy queue times, but what do i know

That is incorrect. Duty finder will work exactly the same way, but it is recommended for end-game content that you bring both a regular and shield healer.

IIRC the only place where the healer/shield healer dichotomy will be enforced is Raid Finder, which is only relevant to JP because the rest of the world uses Party Finder for high-end content.

Got recommended this video by the algorithm and its the first time I've seen 1.0 actually in action, it's just been the cutscenes prior.

Have had it running in the background and it's honestly kind of uncomfortable to look at.

FF14 1.0 is what happens when you take the framework of a PS2 MMO with all its janky mechanics, refuse to modernize it, give it a fresh coat of paint, and then release it with no content and awful servers.

Still incredible that they managed to turn that around.

Every time the camera snaps into place when they examine/attack something it makes me queezy.

I also hate how it technically looks BETTER just from a polygon standpoint but boy does it not look GOOD.

And yeah that PSO sound effect.

Thinking about things, I don't understand why 14 refuses to have more voice acting within its fights. That's something I loved in WoW -- even the "nothing" bosses got VA work, much of which was good (and some of which was wonderfully memetic).

The voice acting is a huge reason why Stormblood/Shadowbringers MSQ trials, Orbonne, E8, and E11 are so hype. In ARR and HW, I understand budgets were constrained, but at this point, it feels like there's no real excuse. Give some real VA work to the NieR fights and I think they'd have hit a lot harder too.

I did e8s for the first time yesterday. Made it to icelit after an hour. What a wonderful fight. Now I can see how LR would be a nightmare on PF, but with friends it was so much fun. So much better than e4 and e12. And of course, the best song in the game.

Well with gear and people who know what they're doing well enough that you get 90% of the way through the fight in an hour of course LR isn't that bad lol. The problem with LR isn't just party finder randos, it's that LR is literally the only hard mechanic for the first 6 minutes so any small mistakes on it feel incredibly bad. Even in a static it's just a pain to have to go through every time when you're trying to prog the second phase of a very long fight.

It's more of an issue with how badly paced that fight is, honestly. Phase 2 is very good but there's so much bad filler before then.
