Why people who don't even play game are allowed to voice their opinions?
/xiv/ thread I guess
>>
>>380845238
Holy fuck are you being serious

You're laughing at the people who want to play the MSQ because they didn't go and start grinding up old classes they might have no interested in playing? What are those SAM and RDM gonna do when they hit the same block everyone else is at?

If they don't go and start grinding up their crafting classes to 70 are they also haters who shouldn't be allowed to say anything negative about the game?

If you deep throat Yoshida's cock any further you're gonna asphyxiate man.

pipins is actually fairly hard thats why the bottleneck on it is taking a lot longer for most people than raubahns did.

Raubahns you can techincally fail and have seen a few who did since there is a dps check it's not that hard. Pipins has a few mechanics that do make it hard and quite easy to fail.

Is it possible to get the Sekiseigumi outfit for SAM?

>>380845952
TP only factors into the game as a mechanic in savage raids, where fights are long enough to run out if you don't properly manage your invigorate cooldown, and in content as melee players that has you using a lot of ranged attacks or aoe attacks.

Generally, you will never use goad outside of savage raids or trying to speed run and aoe down groups of mobs in dungeons.

The role skills were designed to have 3-4 be absolutely necessary for your role to perform optimally, and the rest for you to choose from be extremely situational and almost completely useless, so as to create the illusion of choice without having to actually balance them.

Can you name one thing they improved with SB? The game has been going straight downhill since patch 2.2, with a little jump of activity with HW followed by the sharpest decline the game has seen so far.

With SB's launch being even worse, and the actual changes to the game being entirely negative, I wonder how sharp the player base decline will be this time.

7am EST and still can't get in at all, and the bantz around Raubahn has turned angry and bitter. The dream is dead, boys. The hype is gone. And SE are definitely "working on it", really, for sure, trust them. Just stop trying to play the story or anything involving a solo instance while they fix it. Go grind level 60-62 FATEs and do PvP until you go mad if you want to play.

I never said it was a bad game or was doing bad in general, I'm referring to the absolute trash that is the current state of the game with the stormblood msq. Over 24 hours of nothing but "pls just wait" while the vast majority of those who picked up stormblood are sitting stuck 30 minutes into the expansion unable to progress due to nearly everything being gated behind the msq is unacceptable.

REMINDER:
IF YOU USED TO PLAY THE GAME AND ARE THINKING ABOUT PICKING UP STORMBLOOD, THE GAME IS GOING TO BE THE EXACT SAME AS IT WAS IN HW AND ARR, AND YOU WILL QUIT FOR THE EXACT SAME REASONS.

IF YOU WANT THE DEVELOPERS TO CHANGE ANYTHING FOR THE BETTER, THE ONLY WAY IS TO NOT BUY THE EXPANSION AND STOP FUNDING LOW-EFFORT CONTENT.

There are still huge crowds of angry people around both of them (I was part of the one around Raubahn until I gave up a few minutes ago). Other solo instance duties are fucked too, like job quest fights. The WAR one kept kicking me after leaving the world I'm on but failing to connect to the instance servers.

It's a shit-show through and through.

Like. Log the fuck off and go to bed. Or go do something else completely unrelated to FFXIV. Come back in a day when shit levels out a bit. I don't know why it's hard for them to do that if they're genuinely that pissed.

>>380847526

The servers, for the worlds at least, are fucking fantastic. For the load they're experiencing, they're performing amazingly well.

It's the programming of the instance servers and how they designed that shit to work that's fucked up. And, even knowing it was fucked up and wouldn't be able to handle what they're asking of it, they went ahead and throttled the MSQ early on with a solo combat instance.

I don't know how they're going to fix it short of flagging it as auto-completed for everyone or renting/buying new servers to accommodate the load. They can't re-write that shit and have it working acceptably well before people drop the expac and demand refunds and lawsuits.

Oh, they have every right to be pissed off that the product isn't working.
What I don't understand is why they choose to be pissed off while standing in one spot for almost an entire day instead of just going to do something else, be it in game or out.

It's like saying "Boy I sure do hate beating my head against a wall!"
And then proceeding to beat your head against a wall, despite nobody forcing you to beat said head against said wall.

What you just described isn't decent or fun. Almost all the other MMOs out right now have a better progression, even if slightly. SE doesn't care anymore though, Europe subs are falling flat, NA is pretty stagnant, but Chinese is way up.

They actually made it feel really nice to play with a controller. You can swap hotbars easily in combat to access all of your skills, and you can freely assign them to your own liking. Movement feels good too. The only thing controller really sucks at is menu navigation.

>As announced earlier, there are a huge number of players currently playing Stormblood, and as a result, the servers continue to experience a large amount of stress. For this reason, we are currently limiting the number of players that can enter instanced content so that it does not lead to major server crashes.
However, this has caused massive congestion to enter instanced content and I would like to sincerely apologize for this.

so are PS4 limitations holding them back from putting in a que for instances or something

What's preventing them from putting a queue in is most likely that they have no mechanism in the game's code for handling queues into solo instances, and doing that is something that legitimately might not be possible inside of a day or two.

However there ISN'T anything preventing them from simply forking off the Raubahn/Pipin quests into sort of an optional branch of the MSQ, and allowing you to simply go from the quest before Raubahn/Pipin to the quest after, with the understanding that you won't get the whole story chronologically (but will still get the whole story as long as you go back to it later).

There's also nothing stopping them from just going in and temporarily editing the instance so that every enemy has 1 HP, so that people can get through it quickly enough that nobody needs the instance for more than a minute or two before the next player can use it, instead of 15-20.

Either of those solutions would probably be less than an hour and a half of work, including whatever QA they want to do on it, and they could have easily recognized the problem, finalized the solution, and completed the maintenance to implement it before noon on Friday. That they still haven't done anything about it, 27 hours later, is sheer incompetence.

The Hall of the Novice uses the DF to enter a solo instance with NPCs. They could possibly use that to alleviate the pain, but I have no idea how the back-end works and what the differences between the quest solo instance and the Novice instances are.

SE going in and changing HP values is basically admitting that they're giving up, so they won't do it. They're going to save face until everything crashes and burns and people actually stop playing and demand refunds. Making the fight optional is probably the best choice but again, they won't do it unless they feel a ton of financial pressure. We'll probably get another boilerplate apology in 12 hours as our "fix".

It tries to feel like a single-player game when it comes to the story, but all the content you can queue for is meant for parties.

The story gates a shit ton of the stuff you can do so you can't just skip it and expect to be able to do anything of note.

As for quality, it's better than expected for an MMO, but it's still an MMO story that suffers from padding, bad arcs that drag on because of gameplay needs, and generally being longer than it needs to be. It's a FF game for sure but it's still an MMO.

Do the free trial, and if you like it, buy it. The only caveat I have is the good ol' "it gets fun at level cap" bit. It really does- early game can be painful.
>>
>>380851268

Okay. I just went dirty and added back our missing potencies and ran a 30 skill 2.0 GCD test with 40% crit and the assumption that 2 extra FC per minute, 350 potency from BH, and no SKS loss from riddle and ended up with 229.51. I just straight up said 45% + 25% + etc was +77%.

Without those missing potencies added it's 218.595. We basically just lost 5% PPS across the board by being incredibly generous. Riddle probably causes this to be closer to 8%-9% PPS loss.

DRG is ~235 PPS. 7.5% more.
SAM is ~340 PPS. 55% more.

So even if RoF didn't remove SkS from us and we ran some sort of retarded super favorable situation we are now the weakest PPS.

Accidently closed the tab.
Redid the %s entirely.
MNK 218.
Assumed MNK 2.0 delay on AA after SKS, DRG 2.4, SAM 2.3 which would be their GCD. Ignoring the delay and using 75 potency per AA.
RoF giving ~5% increase

SAM 379.33 (33.5% ahead of MNK)
DRG 277.77 (2.5% behind MNK)
MNK 284.15

DRG autos likely hit harder meaning DRG and MNK are probably around the same DPS which is about an 8% to 13% nerf on MNK DPS for autismo monks. MNK does not have the raid utility to justify that and should remain out of the meta. SAM needs to meet a baseball bat.

How so? DRG's permanent DPS buff is much lower than monk's on top of getting 15% less autos. Remember every monk auto hits ~60% harder

Oh, I don't mean after modifiers. I meant before. Different delay may play into that. EIther way, in normal conditions without good RNG the MNK and DRG should be about the same, with normal RNG giving DRG the edge, and good RNG to MNK. No clue about NIN, but ideal comp is basically going to be

PLD/PLD/SAM/SAM/SAM/AST/AST/NIN or some other gimmick.

>I forgot to add this is 1.4 FC per minute from BH, and 2 FC per minute from trait. So incredibly good RNG.
That is not "incredibly good RNG".

Lets also assume a base 20% crit rate. Internal Release brings that up to 27.5% over the course of an entire fight. Proc chance from a chakra is 50% on crit, so roughly a 13.75% chance on any given weaponskill.

Lets say 2.0 GCD. So 30 weaponskills per minute. Every 6th GCD is a Bootshine, which has a guaranteed crit. So 5 bootshines per minute, giving an average 2.5 chakras per minute. The remaining 25 weaponskills apply the 13.75% rate, giving an average of 3.4375. That's 5.9 chakras per minute just from Deep Meditation. So realistically, 5-6.

Brotherhood gives everyone in the raid a 30% chance of proccing a chakra when they use a weaponskill. In 15 seconds, most jobs can use 6 weaponskills. If we assume there's 2 physical DPS besides the MNK, and 2 tanks, that's 24 weaponskills. At 30% proc rate, that's an average of 7.2 chakras from Brotherhood. Averaged out per minute, it's 4.8.

That's a fuckload more than you're calculating.
>>
>>380855739
Competent MMO developers don't exist.
>>
>>380855905
So you're not factoring in the extra 57% damage on the job whose gimmick is an extra 57% permanent damage buff, or the 55% buff to SAM's Iaijutsus from Kaiten on top of their permanent 10%? DRG has Blood for Blood and Heavy Thrust, but those don't come close to the level of the other two's buffs. It also seems like you factored in the lower attack speed from Riddle of Fire without accounting for the fact that the way buffs stack makes it nearly 100% more damage for the duration of RoF.

>>380855956
We'll say your trait nets you 1 FC per minute, and BH nets 1 per minute.

Currently it's ~ 1500 potency per minute. So 25 PPS Say it ranges from anywhere from 5 to 45. The PPS done assumed you started with DK, TS, Demo just being used, and FC ready. Take out that starting FC and MNK and DRG are 277 and 278.

>>380856501
Early crit and late crit don't match up of course, but for reference in BiS and food/catered group I was netting about 35-40% crit on Zurvan for example which does account for bootshine.

I went with BH being about 350 per minute for the FCs it nets you, and I used 3 FC total, 2 from trait, 1 starting, and ignored BH entirely.

1100 potency from FC, 277 uses only 850.
1 chakra is 50 potency. 650 potency from your numbers. I'm saying you not only get an extra 4 over the average of 13 per minute, but you started with 5 over it. 284 would be 22 per minute. That's some great fucking RNG.

>>380856649
MNK is a bit higher than 57%.
Ignoring RoF entirely it's 66.5%.
DRG was B4B % per second, HT 15%, 11% resist.
SAM I could only find the 10% and 11% resist.
Their PPS were found from other people doing PPS based on theorycrafted SB rotations and PPM/PPS.

Riddle of Fire is a fucking mess to figure out. Yeah, it takes you to 2.185 multiplier, but the uptime % not including the lost SKS is only 6.67%. Including the lost SkS is probably near 5%, so I used that. If you can find other % damage increases that would affect DRG/SAM autos then that only pushes them ahead of MNK more.

The main point of RoF is that every Forbidden Chakra you get during it is a little over 500 effective potency. You stack it with Internal Release and Brotherhood where you're getting chakras constantly. I don't think your calculations are close to correct. Also, monk has the strongest autos in the game by far.

>>
>>380858532
Damn right it has the strongest autos.

Yeah, it's a mess to figure out how RoF actually factors into PPS overall. Flat % is the safe route. Even if I were off on it, it wouldn't amount to a massive PPS difference. With 277 as the base, it'd be like, 290ish? 295? And that's if RoF doesn't gimp you in every other way. I haven't beaten the 9K boss yet, but I do know my DPS has gone down around 10-15% at 60 for whatever that is worth..

Take the safe route. DRG wants 2.4s GCD. SAM gets 10% off, MNK 15%. .1 off SAM and MNK.
Find the ideal rotation for each in a minute, give it good starting conditions, figure out uptime/downtime*% of damage buffs, and then potencies. I had to find one for DRG and SAM, but MNK I know by heart. ACT can read out PPS as well. Decent for finding AA PPS which is about 75 give or take.

Ignoring chakra nonsense, MNK lost ~1100 PPM from the nerfs. With the 13 chakra from the anon above that's a net gain of a whopping 57 potency per minute on skills.
Are you telling me a 5% damage boost and RoF can really make 57 potency look good?

That feeling everyone is talking about the new release whilst I'm still stuck trying to complete HW.

Just wondering of these things, which are mandatory to do in order to clear MSQ:

Estinien/Nidhogg
Warrior of Darkness
The Alexander storyline
The Warring Triads stuff

I'm guessing its pretty obvious the Griffon stuff is mandatory since it leads directly to SB.

if you're on a congested world like gilgamesh or balmung you can transfer to designated worlds like mateus or zalera for free.

You could do whatever you want m8. But for optimal SAM stuff you may want to consider doing Pugilist/Monk since they share gear with SAM, plus it's one of the more fun DPS jobs.

RDM is so fucking fun holy shit. It's easy to learn but enough variety to keep it fresh, probably gonna be my new main if he performs well in the endgame (of which I'm pretty sure he will, he seems to be doing good DPS while also bringing great utility to the field).

Because you don't know shit about synergy as evident by your delusion that anyone will bring a SAM with them. A melee with no good utility is a death sentence for a serious group, no matter how good his personal DPS may be.

Once you get into the rhythm of flinging spell after spell, it has a really natural flow and feels great. It's definitely the most active and fun mage in the game.

That's why monks were used in previous raids throughout ARR and HW even though they had fuckall for utility, right? Samurai replaced monk in said parties.

You don't take "synergy" for the sake of synergy. You take it if the total contribution to raid damage is highest.

If you have one class that does 1000 DPS and has "synergy" that raises every other person's DPS by 50, and you have another class with zero synergy but does 2000 DPS, you take the second one, every time.

I'm not completely sold on the expansion but it's very hard to justify staying a tank. I mained a DRK and I don't like the changes. So if I get the expansion, I would probably level a MCH because it seems somewhat elaborate.
