Final Fantasy XIV - Kiwi Free Company

Am I being exceptional once again? But it seems that the FATES for the new event rerun are buggy?

I've done the flying eye + dragon one 5 times now and not gotten participation for it, with 20+ people who are also trying with me having the same issue.
I found forming parties prevents this fuckery, I tried all three fights with and without parties and outside of a party I couldn't get golds/participation even with less than 20 people

I made Crystal. Bards are really only any good the higher up you go in CC. The lower your rank, the less buffing teammates matters because they suck. I still think WHM needs a few more tweaks, but this was a pretty good small patch all things considered.
The only real issue with WHM right now is that it can't kill, so if your opponent are off in the corner sniffing their own farts you can usually end up in this awkward stalemate where you're keeping yourself alive while the opponent whittles down your resources. You really need someone else to do the damage for you.

But yeah, WHM is probably a bit too strong in PvP. The stun capabilities they have is strong, and their heals means that unless the enemy specifically focusses, you usually end up winning team battles just because your team can stay in the fight a lot longer.

I have definitely seen a lot of people raging about WHM.
 
Apparently there was a weapon design contest and these won, does that mean we will see this sick looking weapon in the game soon?

Last time I recall a gear contest winner getting the gear in-game, it took about...at least a year at best if not a different expansion cycle for the gear to get in. Because they generally take the baseline design for one, the lost allagan gear was a tank set originally but they made it for all roles same with the bonewicca set which was for casters, and apply it to everything. So for example we might see the Warrior axe's general design elements be put on every weapon in the game.

So yes, chainsaw gunblade, chainsaw bow, chainsaw lance, chainsaw book are all potentially on the table. These weapons will 100% exist, but we have no idea how we'll get it except that it won't be in any hard content like Savage for example. It is tome gear, crafted gear, or dungeon gear typically

In short, don't expect to see these for the next 2 years unless they're only going to release them for the jobs they were made for in which case maybe a year is my guess.

It's almost entirely in CC why it's so strong at high levels. The polymorph still can't be purified or prevented with it, and the LB is still too strong for a 60 second charge timer.

Compare it to something like the Dancer LB and it feels even worse how fucking strong it is. Dancer's is worse in every imaginable way and takes 30 seconds longer.
 
I knew it.
Apex fags are just one bad match away from becoming FFXIV faggots. Its the same kind of trannies.
Apex fags? Is this Joshie Moon guy someone notorious? I just posted it because someone named themselves after Null.

Ah, clips from Ultimate progression wandered into my youtube feed. The audio difference between NA/EU and JP parties is always so stark.

NA/EU is like "Okay, Shiva circles next. *five seconds of silence*. Good. Watch out f-OH SHIT! Okay recover, recover. Nice. Dodge left next."
JP is like "NANI NANINANINANINANINANINANINANIDOKODOKODOKODOKODOKODOKODOKODOKODOKOMITEMITEMITEMITEMITEMITEMITEMITEMITEMITEMITEMITEMITENANINANINANINANINANINANIANIDOKODOKODOKODOKODOKODOKODOKODOKODOKO"
They -never- shut the fuck up. I'm glad I'm not on their servers.
 
New Ultimate has an insanely cool mechanic. Honestly makes me wish I was at a level where I could prog Ultimates just to experience it.


After running through the entire fight and defeating Nidhogg, the party will be taken back to earlier in the fight against Thordan's knight during which Haurchefant sacrifices himself for you, taking one of the knight's attacks. However, on this second loop, the party has built up their LB.

It seems like the fight will loop until Haurchefant's death is averted, with a mandatory single loop in order to gain the limit break to avert the death.

Unrelated shitpost for anyone who doesn't want to be spoiled on HSW/DSRU

Seems a bit more forgiving than TEA bullshit.

I've found it pretty exciting to watch this race. Guess now I know how sports fans feel in a way.

Voice chat is fairly rare among JPs (most of them find it intimidating), so there's no 'clear comms' culture like you get with NA/EU. It's like playing games in the late 2000s.

It's a pretty incredible fight overall. Endsinger EX notwithstanding, I'm feeling pretty good about the future of the game with how much they've been trying to shake-up their fight design lately. Now if they could just unfuck healers.

welp cleared first savage fight of the tier, feels good to be raiding again even if we're mogging the boss by having access to aglaia gear and augmented crafted pieces.
