^ seriously the fuck is up with that. It's shitty enough that you need multiple service accounts for each platform without this BS.

Makes me miss XI all the more, I could play on 360 PS2 or PC freely...

I have one raid for the Manderville quest left to do, the next in Crystal Tower, and Shiva. Not sure if there were other things I was suppose to be doing, but I really needed to grind my crafts and desynthesis before expansion.



Caption: Oh, look, new trailer for expansion.

Re: Post your Best/Latest Accomplishment in FFXIV - ARR Edition

Yeah I still haven't watched the opening video for Heavensward yet because I ain't finished the original plot yet and would like to avoid spoilers. I did catch a screenshot of what looked like Louisoix back out in the open world though so wtf... (I've only cleared 1st coil).

Hoping I can get a new PC in time to re-sub and finish the story. But UGH FUCK now there's all this stuff about Skylake coming out this summer and I should probably wait for that over Broadwell for my new rig :/

*sigh* If only my stupid PS4 code had worked when I went to upgrade from PS3. Stupid eff'n SE.

Re: Post your Best/Latest Accomplishment in FFXIV - ARR Edition

The Heavensward material assumed you have cleared both the 2.55 storyline and Turn 13 (or at LEAST Turn 12 which is where all the big twists happen) of Coil.

BLM is still stuck at iLv129 because I have terrible luck at getting a second 130 ring. SCH is also now up to the point where I can permanently sit in Cleric stance and let the Fairy healbot while throwing in the odd Lustrate or Stoneskin. Walking into World of Darkness or Coil and out-DPSing half of the raid is both hilarious and sad at the same time. Seriously the people bitching about no RDM should just roll SCH. It's every bit as ridiculous as a RDM was in XI, and you can also switch to SMN which can solo dungeons and is pretty mindless in parties too.

Also managed to completely break CM and Praetorium in half on my Ninja when helping a friend through it first time. Those raids were NOT designed with Stealth and teleports in mind. Reminds me of when I managed to get myself into the roof in the Hydra fight on NIN.

Oh, I got my alt up to iLv70 PLD. Might level NIN on that character too because it's hilariously broken and fun.

Also have some fun screenshots because why the fuck not?

Also a couple of pics of my alt, whom my RP buddies have dubbed "Dork Knight" and "Derplander"

It's the rank 10 Veteran's reward. It looks pretty nice =3

So I healed through Keeper of the Lake without a tank because the tank died and released after the first explosion.

Seriously, anyone that says SCH is underpowered needs to learn stance dancing and pet micro .

This is incorrect ...

In order to access Ishgard, you will first need to complete the main scenario quest "Before the Dawn," which will be implemented in FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn Patch 2.55.

In other words, you just need to complete that one main scenario quest, which I believe (as all of the main scenario quests before that) is independent of Coil. I've only completed the first few turns of Coil and have not touched Coil in over a year and I've yet to encounter any requirements for Coil completion (pending Keepers of the Lake due to low iLevel) I checked all of the FAQs and quest database for such requirements and saw none whatsoever. Essentially where I am, after Keepers of the Lake, there are two more trial-type instances and that's it.

I'm more enamored with my personal princess pet.

Re: Post your Best/Latest Accomplishment in FFXIV - ARR Edition

I knocked off Keepers of the Lake after a belt and some soldiery accessories from hours of Syrcus Tower spam. Need to do The Chrysalis and The World of Darkness next. The story is fairly long, text heavy, and at times, quite confusing. I noticed the english translation from the Japanese voice over seems to be ... off.

Re: Post your Best/Latest Accomplishment in FFXIV - ARR Edition

Yeah but for me, I *have* to finish BCoB as a legacy player since it continues the original storyline - I haven't even started 2nd coil >_<

Re: Post your Best/Latest Accomplishment in FFXIV - ARR Edition

I never really did any of the main story as a Legacy, so I guess it doesn't matter for me? /shrug I didn't see any story or quest for it so maybe if you're Legacy AND had completed the story in 1.0 you get the bonus of having extra stuff?

I just need Steps of Faith but this is ridiculous...

(I miss my pocket healer ... I would go back to Warrior and do better than every. single. tank. in. that. damn. thing. And I've made over 20 attempts with 6 different DF groups as DPS. Sigh.)

Re: Post your Best/Latest Accomplishment in FFXIV - ARR Edition

Steps of faith just needs people to be co-ordinated.

Phase one 1dps, 1 tank cannons, 1 tank pulls all adds into range of cannon, rest dps the alrge dragon and healers keep tank alive.
Phase 2 after the first barrier destroyed repeat above with the exception of one dps to go up the tower to launch the misile onto the dragon.
Phase 3 1st cannons as before, 2nd cannons once long attack starts and the dragon stops both cannon users switch to the the lance to fire the lance to chain the dragon then 1 dps fire the misile onto him once chained.
Phase 4 after he destroys the barrels and takes a hit from the explosion (stay clear of them yourself) then its repeat phase 3.
Once the misile has been fired, 1 dps to LB3 him and rest just burn till hes dead.

Re: Post your Best/Latest Accomplishment in FFXIV - ARR Edition

Everyone knows the strat by now, it's a matter of execution. None of the tanks know how to gather adds nor how to position them so that the cannons are in RANGE. To further compound the issues, the DPS inexplicably avoids AOE by running UNDER the feet to get stomped/one-shot. And then, after just one wipe, people give up, throw out the "vote to abandon" and just leave.

THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM WITH LFR IN WOW (Back when LFR required two brain cells to fire ... the LFR in WoD, from what I heard, now just requires 40% of the group to be conscious, setting a new low bar for raiding in queue) Players are entitled beyond belief, which I think also has something to do with just people in general (I call them the Self-Entitled Generation or those born after the late 90s), but I also think has largely to do with WoW and the negative impact it has on MMOs overall.

I wish more players would stay in and not give up until the timer actually runs down ... unless of course it really is a losing cause. But the amount of elitism that exists in this game is also an issue, although self-entitlement transcends play skill.
