Board 8 > FFXIV Topic Part 6 -- Reaping What Yoshi-P Sowed

(+) Yeah! (+)

The gunbreaker one is pretty sleek, that one is my third favorite. I don't even play gunbreaker!

---

As far as what I don't like...Dancer is pretty terrible.

I don't love Ninja either, but the weapon is great. I basically want the closest thing I can get to actual sword dual wielding, so the longer the blades the better. I know there are other big Ninja daggers, but most of them are also really fat. Gimme two samurai swords.

---

Is that a new egi for summoner?? Or just the Phoenix they can already summon (I'm only at level 68 so I haven't used it myself yet)

---

That's just Phoenix, it's a Bahamut style Egi. The only Summoner kit news I've seen so far is they had a dash and explode movement ability in the trailer, which my guess is a Black Mage style teleport to your leylines, but instead it's to your Egi.

---

Speaking of glam, incredibly satisfied with my cross job glam right now.

I may want to experiment with the leggings situation when I have time, but will be sticking with this for a while at least.

---

oh good thing I didn't activate that new time card yet I guess I can get 2 free weeks sometime over the next 6 weeks. As soon as a finish up Plat #300 will probably be a good time since I'm importing the physical version of Great Ace Attorney which will take a few weeks to get here.

---

Man I just straight up don't understand half of the Astro abilities reading ahead.

---

They just have a lot of text and nonsense flavor words, they're not hard to understand in practice.

Celestial Opposition is a stupid good free ogcd heal that has an additional benefit depending on what sect you're in (regen or suffering)

Celestial Intersection is a stupid good free ogcd heal that has an additional benefit depending on what sect you're not in (shield or suffering)

Earthly Star is a free damage button that you keep on cooldown unless you're doing high-end stuff.

Helioscope is WHM's Plenary Indulgence but delayed

Trust me, they just read very stupidly, and also they're probably going to change half of them in 6.0 anyways when they delete Nocturnal Sect

---

Can't look at this second but there was the one damage ability that said you had to decide when to set it off, but the ability it mentioned wasn't listed. I have to assume that's a transforming button?

I mean yeah, very unlikely I will level Astro past 50 until Endwalker. Just getting every class to the point where every notable exp roulette is unlocked.

Yeah that's earthly star. All of the timed abilities that you detonate also trigger automatically when the timer runs out, so you can't miss it.

95% of the time in normal content you will be hitting the button on cooldown and waiting for a timer to end as you enjoy free healing and damage. And then screaming as the tank pulls all of the enemies and themself out of the aoe.

Is there like an accepted time of day for PVP or something? Why has Frontline been less than 5 minutes every day but now it's more than 30 minutes? <_<;

EDIT: and then it suddenly pops in less than 2 minutes, wtf.

---

5th Castrum in a row.

Suffering.

---

Finally finished Lochs currents.

Fire whoever decided on this one.



---

If you're on Crystal, I can always provide a two-seater to fly you around to them, 'cuz yeah, I remember that one from the Lochs doing it solo. It sucked. :)

---

What's some good stuff to get with wolf marks, if you aren't interested in any of the armor at the moment?

---

Well there's the mount if you haven't gotten it yet, it costs cap (20k)

Not... interested in any of the armor at the moment? Dohoho.

Damn Ravana, thats a pretty sweet entrance

Wiped once to people getting hit off the stage, but then got him. Thats a super cool theme hes got going on as well!

---

You're getting into when it starts to get real good now. :D

The next Trial you face probably has my favorite theme in the entire game, too - one that I attempted to get into VGMC this year and failed. :(

Sorry, there are so many great songs to put in VGMC from XIV that will never make it past round 2

Really? Of all the great music in 14, Bismarck's theme is your favourite? Not that anything is wrong with it, it's great, but not exactly top tier.

But opinions, I guess.

---

I didn't mean to say "my favorite" as all-inclusive, but too late to edit it now. It's way up there.

---

I've gotten Byakko 4 days in a row and I ain't even mad.

---

I don't like when I get Byakko. It always happens when I'm healing, and while my glamour is mostly perfect, it has an unfortunate case of a manty shot during phase transition.

---

Turn the light on

---

Hmmm, why can I find some orchestration rolls in my Alchemist crafting log but not others? I was able to turn a few faded into the real deal, but the others aren't there.

You might need to buy the master alchemist books for more recipes. A TON of the orchestrions are master recipes.

---

Oh you know what, I have level 3 through 8 but not 1 and 2 for any class because they aren't from scrips, lol.

---

Yeah, 1 and 2 require some specialty-crafting recipes that are better off done at later levels, 'cuz you need HQ things that are really annoying to make on-level.

I want the Ryne glam in the mogstation already aaaaahhhh

---

Asmongold farmed Odin synced today for 5 hours trying to get the helmet. He finally decided to do it unsynched with a couple of level 80s. Got it after 10 minutes lol

---

Yeah it was wild seeing that fight for real for the first time.

Also how they technically lost the enrage, but beat the animation before it went off. I half expected them to have a party wipe victory after the cutscene ended.

---

Oh, he's doing the ARR relic grind now

I'm assuming somebody just bought out all of the materia he needed while watching him play; he just spent 40k on two battledance III materia

so what you're saying is the wow players are about to be scared away from the game

---

"players in queue 476"

What

---

I'm so glad all the WoW converts seem to have settled on Aether, I haven't had any queue issues on Primal all expac.

---

RIP Aether

---

My character also wouldn't load so I think it was actually something going on with the servers, but I got in in like 5 minutes.

Well they try to keep server size relatively balanced so what's probably going to happen is they're going to keep Aether marked as congested or mark other data centers as preferred during the wow migration so that'll change

---

Do they usually add servers with expansion launches?

i guess it could be a risky move if a lot of the interest is short term, though.

They added some European servers recently but the most NA has got was shuffling around when they overhauled the data centers. And they plan to add an Oceania data center for the expansion to take the load off the Japanese ones, which I am not sure how often get additional spots.
