>It's another useless bitch NPC taking all the credit for the work done by the player

Why do developers do this? First it was that useless fuck salad in Guild Wars and now this autistic bitch.

Because they can't marker the player character as the poster-NPC for marketing.

Lyse did less than M'Naago in the MSQ.

It was their first big, major dungeon, and it was also a huge story point, so it was very shaky, but it had a lot of really fucking cool moments, and they clearly learned their lesson as they don't load cutscenes into dungeons like that anymore
>>
>>386306958
I like the story. Theres a lot of slow moments, but it's an MMO, so it's understandable that every moment can't be full plot. Also it feels really nice even many hours into the game, to see my character being part of the cutscenes and interacting with the NPCs, making me really feel like part of the story.

Maybe each car is a different duty, and the story involves you having to reach each train depot before Doomtrain hits it so you can hop on and destroy the car, and each time he loses speed and power, until you finally hijack a Garlean train to ride in front of Doomtrain and fight it as you both speed down the rails, like the Bismark fight, but with Doomtrain chasing behind you instead of flying next to you

That's how to play correctly, but it's not optimal.
In savage mode raids you're expected to be out of tank stance about 90% of the time if not more. You have to learn how to grab and maintain aggro through a fight while being in tank stance as little as possible to optimize damage.
It's not a big deal if you aren't planning on doing anything on the bleeding edge of content, but at that point it's definitely expected.
>>

If you're leveling gathering, sell low level mats in large numbers, it won't make a lot of money, but it's practically guaranteed pocket change. I can make about 20-30k for a full stack of Alumen on my server. As for crafting, it's not really a money maker till max level, unless you sell to people directly and not on MB. You can make some good money I imagine selling low level HQ gear to newbies, or outfitting your FC mates for a fee.

I've actually been doing that a bit since I rolled a WAR and aside from aggro and making the healer's mana go a a bit farther there isn't much of a point to tank stance. Maybe the scaling changes it but there doesn't seem much to it at this level.

I mean, yeah it does seem like a dick move, but you have to remember a lot of people have done castrum and praetorium tons of times so going fast is just second nature. There's just way too many cutscenes in praetorium and it's not fun to constantly wait around for people to finish.

You didn't play FFXI. The story was always focused around the NPCs. It worked better than XIV does because it never treated your character as an unbeatable mary sue god, and actually gave the NPCs the proper focus and development.

It sucks to wait, but it sucks more if you ruin another players first chance at experiencing the Praetorium and all it's cool little bits and pieces. I mean how pissed would you be if you didn't get a chance to hop on the magitek armor and run roughshod on the Garleans because the rest of the party is already fighting Ultima?
>>
>>386314454
>I didn't think people would speed run that hard.
I think it's just ridiculously undertuned due to an awkward combination of "we give people welfare gear that's already overkill for this" and a reluctance to rebalance it because they don't want to accidentally make it a brick wall for retards now that it isn't relevant and it probably isn't worth the effort if they do get it right.

FF XIV is a story about how you do literally fucking nothing (Outside of battles) while being told how amazing you are.

I'd say they have you do a bit too much "Go and scout out these potentially nation-ending threats for armies that apparently can't be fucked" "why don't you just talk to everyone in town for me? "go and personally load some crates onto a fucking wagon it's too expensive to hire a beggar"
At least the primal-slaying is something of consequence, and you do get those moments of NPC's admitting "yeah you basically did all the work" to stop the players from losing their minds.

Give an example of how she (or any NPC) took all the credit. I don't remember this happening once since the game came out. People literally worshipped WOL in ARR. In HW the WOL had to earn that praise somewhat, with the only person consistently praising them being Haurchefant. I'm kind of glad the game moved away from worshipping the player and focusing more on the rest of the cast (some more than others unfortunately).

Just admit that you don't like Lyse, rather than coming up with random bullshit.

It's not that big a deal, it's not that hard to just rewatch them at the inn. I can totally get wanting to watch cutscenes where they are, but there's around 10-15 minutes of them in praetorium and most people are just there for the roulette.

Dude, I missed fucking everything. I managed to catch up and land a few hits while taking out the second generator or whatever it was but the second one cutscene ended another popped up and that was the only action I saw apart from when I took the wrong teleported and immediately died because there were about twenty enemies waiting for me (I went backwards, apparently).

Sometimes they'll say something like at the end of a quest and it makes me smile and really happy for a moment.

Well you can go back to an Inn and rewatch all the cutscenes in comfort. After Ultima Weapon a lot of stuff gets unlocked for you to do, and then there are 50+ MSQ afterwards that lead up to the end of A Realm Reborn and lead into Heavensward, the second expansion.

Lyse is a literal nobody with zero leadership skills. The only thing she has going for her is that she can punch good and that her dad and sister were competent commanders.

He was friends with Yda for over a decade, and was specifically sent to Gridania in the first place by Louisoix so they could aid the resistance and keep an eye on the border. He always gave a fuck about Ala Mhigo.
>>
>>386316423

Healing is boring has hell now since SB. It used to have some complexities due to the cross class system and everyone having more buttons to press pre-SB. WHM is even easier to play now than it was in HW, SCH is now clunkier than ever and has weakest healing and worst MP management. AST is the only healer that still plays similar to HW, but it's even stronger now.

Tanks still have stance-dancing available to them and are generally less of a hassle to play in DF, PvP, and Trials. I would say they are the more fun class to play and will probably remain that way for a while.
>>
>>386316408
If you got Stormblood you already have Heavensward, they are included together. If you stopped at Ultima Weapon however you are still pretty far into the beginning, the game doesn't really start getting enjoyable until you reach level 50. The questline after Ultima Weapon is a bit of a slog though, lots of back and forth and errand missions, but as it reaches the end of ARR shit ramps up. And Heavensward introduces tons of great content.

PotD is kinda iffy for learning how to tank properly because
1. No one follows the 'normal' rules of a dungeon, so
2. it involves less dealing with multiple mob groups and aggro, which is basically most of your job, and
3. you're less likely to play with a balanced team and know what to expect from normal dungeon/trial runs
Also being undergeared as a tank hurts you more than any other class. If you're eating complete shit whenever something hits you chances are you need to hit the market/earlier dungeons for some better gear.

This was pretty much my takeaway from it, I main healer and have never really ended up in a situation where I just couldn't keep the main tank alive, so I was pretty confident that "close enough" in terms of gear level was fine, but I guessed wrong.

Plus those 50% exp earrings probably inflated my ilvl so I thought my gear was better than it was.

Sub-classing is as much of a dream-feature as horizontal progression for this game. Bit unfortunate, but I can deal considering how fun the classes are on their own. Class change is really just there to switch playstyle and role on the fly, which I actually really like. Kinda removes the need for alts, but I'm fine with that.

>reset your character
The way your're phrasing this makes me wonder whether you think it just drops you back down to level 1. You can switch back to your previous class and will be the same level with it as you were previously. This is kinda obvious, but I am clarifying just in case it wasn't.

It's just demoralizing to not be able to practice my job in random circumstances.

That being said, dungeons are the way to go for learning tanking. Arum Vale synced with no wipes or aggro loss is sign you're doing something right.

To.. play another class? Extensive multiclassing would mean that it's practically required and would turn off people who just want the one experience, and they already give you exp boosts out the ass when you're leveling a new class. It's basically an alt without having to roll up a different character.

I thought it never moved them before, as I'd still get hit with an AOE that activated over where I was rooted even if it went off while I was jumping. Even then the Dragoons are meant to jump up and off flying dragons but apparently a slowly moving tail means I just fall and die.

>>386320225
Jump is a unique mechanic in that when you use it, your character is technically in two places at once, where they jumped from, and where they jump to. It's why you have to be careful using it around AoEs, because you will still get hurt if you jump into an AoE when it goes off, even if you jumped from outside it.

Widargelt talks about that in the MNK quests and decides he doesn't want to join the resistance or lead Ala Mhigo. He's only ever known life as a monk, so that's who he is even if he's the heir. A lot of people would be pretty fucking unhappy with Theodoric's relative anyway.

I didn't say a word about my opinion on it, just said a likely reasoning that it's not happening. Excessive complexity in certain places can turn people off, and even if that's not an issue there are a lot of people that like just playing 'their' thing. For a lot of them it wouldn't be a good thing to realize that this class they don't like playing has a cross-class skill that synergizes wonderfully well with the class that they actually like to play so now they have to grind something they don't enjoy to lv.whatever or live with the fact that they're playing a gimped character.

Alright, thanks for the clarification. I knew about the riskiness of jump and that's why I'd make sure to use it after an AOE, I just found myself a bit irritated when that Shinryuu thing happened. Minor peanuts but it felt kind of silly to punish me for jumping in a way that is signature for dragoon jumps.

>>386320732

I didn't do Monk but that's a classic feature of the ideal king/ruler. There's some medieval Persian epic, not Shahnameh but it was referenced in the author's intro to Shahnameh just too lazy to get the book. A King dismisses his vizier, who becomes an ascetic monk at some temple. The kingdom goes to shit, the king goes to the vizier and begs him to come back because he's the only man smart enough to rule. The Vizier tells him it's exactly that intelligence that tells him not to go and rule. The idea being rule is miserable and depressing and it's a classic theme. Really strong with Conan of Cimmeria, I think Robert Baratheon shows it and it's referred to in Shahnameh too.

If SE is smart they could pull that off - have the whole democracy/monarchy conflict (and forgiveness vs retribution for collaborators like angry scotsgirl) define Ala Mhigo during the patches. Widargelt could work as a good compromise because while he's of royal blood he also is a fervent Temple of the Fist Rhalgrite, who if I recall right the mad king smashed into bits.

Kinda want to say not necessarily, and we've already had this up until SB with cross-class skills. Probably still sort of true, at the very least there'll be meta builds where certain classes will be most optimal with certain sub-classes. I'm kinda thankful that the game's current idea of meta is so insignificant that it can be safely discarded for practically all content.

Still, part of me would like to run a BLM/WHM just because I want to be a sage. Then again, considering how tight rotations are and how clear each class' role within a party is, there's very little I could utilize from the WHM package as a DPS, and I believe this would still be true for most other class combinations. For this to work the entire game would have to be designed completely different.

I had a sudden recollection of WOW's talents/build system. I was thinking of the old fashioned threefold division from Vanilla and BC. That'd never happen but for a moment I liked to imagine such a system (or just a twofold one) in XIV just because I would love to be a healer Paladin or I am sure there's a million guys who'd love to be a DPS WAR or DRK.

Never going to happen, immense headache and I am not thinking of a myriad of issues. It made me sad to look up the FF jobs and know there's no armored healer or melee healer that isn't a fuckboy dancer because +10 years ago I cut my teeth as a healing paladin in WOW and a cleric in NWN and I would love to play that again.

Because the first time they saw it was likely Disiddia.
>>
>>386320791
It can be depending on your classes secondary stat weight. I'm pretty sure that the hq items have close if not the same main stat weights as the 330 gear so if you could get the crafted item and pentameld it then you can save your times for more important pieces that might be BiS and more expensive instead of just buying an acc each week. If you are trying to clear content at a quicker pace with your static I would recommend it, or if you can get the crafted stuff for cheap from a friend I would say do it. You need to understand your class before sinking the money though.
>>
>>386321124
The reason I'm asking this is because yesterday some faggot told me I was doing 3.1k dps on nin with the 330 weapon, the rest 320, and only the body and legs 310 in O3S. All gear is welfare gear and all fully meld on them with DH and DET, but the guy said I was doing 3.1k dps and then in another party later on I was doing 3.5k dps. I was told I was suppose to do 4k dps on nin. So I'm wondering it my 310 gear is really lowing my dps that much.
>>
>>386305658
rofl all the people rushing to defend her in this thread.

>>386321660
Try working on your rotation and/or CD management.
3.1k is about as much as I can do on a tank, so there's definitely something wrong you're doing. 310 B/L would hamper you a little, but it's not enough to cause such a disparity.

Kinda. You need to really dedicate your time to paying attention to the things you put on the board and you need to see what's selling and why. If you can do all that you can make money. I typically don't make much while leveling but I suppose you could.

How's your up-time? Are you running far away from the boss for mechanics, maybe further than you're supposed to and ending up spending several GCDs out of range of the boss? DPS that parse well typically have 99%+ uptime.

>>386321660
Do you parse yourself? If so go practice on the dummy and see what you're hitting. I would recommend the crafted pants unless your group has V3 on farm, or even still just to get you a nice upgrade. I used the 100% chance melds for Det 6 then put in det5's. Still though, with the 330 wep, you should be pulling 3.7k+ easily.

It was awful. I went from a game whether literally every item had value and you could play a specific corner of the market more or less successfully with a few landbarons and hardcore AH pvpers keeping prices more or less regulated, to a game where most items are trash sold at 1 gil and where even expensive items get undercut by half their original price over the course of a day with no turning back.

Hmmm. Honestly if you can't parse yourself and want to get better, put up a pf group for a ninja to help you and see if he will. I know that's kind of frustrating but there's nothing wrong with wanting to be better at the game. All you can do is practice your rotation perfectly on a dummy and then try to transistion that to each fight. If you know you hit x dps on the dummy but are hitting much lower on the fight, then its uptime on the boss and overall comfort with the fight.

NIN is all about cooldown management since you have more you need to line up than most other classes. Trick, Dream Within a Dream, and Kassatsu all sync up evenly. CD's should generally be used as soon as possible unless you know an invuln phase is coming up, you're in a speedkill group that wants to optimize perfectly, or you know you won't get another set off before the fight ends.

Also, which fight were you supposedly getting 3100 on? Certain fights are subject to more unavoidable breakdowns.

This just gave me a thought for free housing. Or rather, a free apartment. 500k wouldn't leave a dent in the Fortempts coffers, so why doesn't someone give us a home?

It could be about the size of an inn room and instanced no problem. It's implied we rest briefly at places like inn rooms, Waking Sands, or Reach on downtime. But we dont actually have any form of residence. Or is it normal for Adventurers to just pass out in Pearl Lane or an alley?

Im hoping they will add just a massive beast tribe quest line where every beast tribe you've befriended bands together to unite the tribes in a united front of peace and finally end the tensions between Eorzeans and Beast Tribes. If we could stop the fucking Dragonsong War and unite Ishgardian and Dravanian, we can do the same for the beast tribes and the Eorzeans.

>In the story, only you are the true WoL. The others are your fellow adventurers, capabale enough to keep up with you, but no WoLs.

You don't get it. Every single player has a specific story they see, but they're all WoL. This means that every single player in the game has to be treated as a WoL. This means that lore wise there doesn't exist one specific WoL, hence the need for a named character like in OP.
They have done the same for several other MMOs, like in Guild Wars 2.

So long as players wants the lore to be taken seriously in some epic story they can never be given credit for too specific events.
>>
>>386325289
Yes, from their perspective, they are all WoLs, but from your perspective, they are all just random fucks you picked up to help you wreck shit, while you are the sole WoL leading them to victory. The story of FF14 is about you, and solely you.

Then don't make the players out to be anything but nameless adventurers in the first place. You can still have an epic story about tons of people banding together to fight off evil shit without having to make every player the main character most important piece of shit in the universe.
>>
>>386325442
Lorewise, there does not exist a single WoL. The story goes on about how before the Calamity, there was multiple WoLs who protected the world, but after the Calamity, storywise, you are the only WoL around. Everyone is playing their own story where they are the important person, and every other player outside of you is just a random adventurer.

I don't understand what you're complaining about. Throughout the main story your character is given credit for tons of specific events. Slaying Ultima, routing the Empire, being a literal god killer, ending the Dragonsong War, freeing Ala Mhigo and Doma, and various other achievements depending on your class. Hell, if you played a Dragoon through Heavensward, a few moments point out that you are an Azure Dragoon just like Estinien

And? You may be a hero and a god killer, but you are still an Adventurer, a job that is literally "errand guy" The game even points this all out during the Dark Knight questline, where a personification of your own mind trains you while also pointing out how everyone you meet is an ungrateful piece of shit who expects someone as great as yourself to do their chores for them. But the questline ties the situation up by basically answering "the WoL just likes to help people"

If the game didn't have you running bullshit errands all the time, it would lessen the actual major events, because then you would have nothing to do besides constantly fighting giant, world ending threats until it becomes literally an everyday occurrence and it no longer seems impressive.

That's Y'shtola's specialty.

The last time she was around for a significant period of time MSQ wise without something happening or otherwise causing her to fuck off was in 2.0. Seems like she barely had a role in the 2.x series and then she fucked off in the lifestream for a while. Came back partway through HW and the 3.0 arc but I can't remember her being important for anything in the 3.x series. Now she was basically written out of Stormblood.

Doing nothing and being blind is basically her entire character.

I'd say 3 and then see where we are.

Yoshi said the current main arcs that they've been working on from the beginning (Ascians and Zodiark presumably) won't be seen to completion for another two expansions. He said this in the context of people wondering if he'd leave the XIV team after all this time and he said he wants to see that stuff through before leaving. Once that happens, he may or may not leave and then whoever is in charge after will have to start something new. If the change in director is good there will probably be a couple more beyond that point. If it's bad, we'll probably see just the one before the game starts dwindling.

If Yoshida stays on it just depends on how motivated he is. Current playerbase seems to like him and his direction well enough to keep going after all this time.If he starts to quit caring and gets sloppy after his main story is over and having to start new, I could see the players jumping ship.

The vg threads should be renamed to /xivrp/ or something, because that's all they are for. That being said, they made the thread first so I doubt they'll ever change it.

I like it.
I also want to see old WoL and young WoL.
Let's get a punished WoL too.

Is Samurai job any good?

Very little gameplay discussion. Mostly just ERP and posting pictures.

Most of the MMO vg threads have the same issue, but the XIV threads turn it up to 11.
>>
>>386329543
Last time I looked in the thread someone posted a video of them masturbating and finishing on/to a picture of a cat someone else posted in the thread. Then all the replies were about the size of the dick and how they wish they were that big. Not a single one about 'jesus fucking kill yourself'

That is the usual for the thread.

/vg/ is where the twisted minded people reside. sick RP/ERP fucks, avatar posters, etc. it's just pure concentrated cancer.
that said it's great we have /vg/ because we have way less many shitters on /v/ since.

the best DPS class at the moment.
since you start from 50, it's easy to try out if you like the skills and such. it's very easy too.
just weeb as fuck.

So can you make titty monsters yet or does everything still look like sanded down mannequins with no asses?
>>
>>386330397
The closest thing you'll get to a titty monster is a roe.
I don't even want to imagine how awful this game's community would be if we actually got a character polygon count fitting a title after 2010. Would be worse than skyrim and TERA combined.
>>
Dark knight
Samuri
Red mage
Paladin

Which one do I make?

Ya, the asthetics aren't drawing me in. Hell, some of the designs from FFXi are better on the lewds.

Did they at least put in real summons yet?

I find it weird that ASTs need to have a holster for their cards when the cards pop out from the globe anyway.

Nasomi then Kupo.

Nasomi starts off nice then turns into a shitshow with jaded super neckbeards and the server lead who encourages the asshole behavior. Much more established economy.

Kupo in better shape but newer/smaller. Much nicer and more active dev, but few ultra neckbeards on there ruining things on purpose too for "muh nostalgic competition", but not wanting to deal with the more established private servers.

How much skill speed does nin need, because all these 320 gear from Omega normal has Skill Speed and Skill speed is a bad stat?

A question about melding? Is it better to max out a stat or to spread it around? Like the 320 crafted nin hands a materia VI DH will get it to 145 but is off by 5 points to cap out. Should I cap out the DH or do materia VI DH and a materia VI DET?
