not totally related but I was just complaining the other day that we never get to use any of the other named scions as duty support. Why can't I team up with Hoary Boulder and co during ARR? Like, I guess they were written to be busy doing other things originally as an excuse for why you needed to find other adventurers, but they can always tweak dialogue to make it work
I feel this so much. As I'm playing through ARR again I am remembering how much I missed just being a random adventurer. Sure I'm a Warrior of Light but there are dozens if not hundreds of them running around too. In ARR I'm just a very competent fighter.

So it would be great to go through the ARR content with Hoary and his friends as a way to link it up later with the main Scions while also giving us that classic 'just a guy' vibe. Could even tie into Edda and her group a bit since they represent a group doomed to failure and worse while Hoary and Co represent a healthy group that thrives and helps each other succeed.

This is a huge part of the reason I was so disappointed with Dawntrail. I was looking forward to just being an adventurer again.

DT apologists like to compare it to ARR, like "well we're starting from scratch again, of course the plot will suffer from low stakes". But the problem with ARR wasn't that it was mostly low stakes, it's that ARR is stuffed with filler and characters that go nowhere because the writers were still scrambling from 1.0 and weren't even sure if the game would recover. DT could've been fun if it had just been setting up a new continent to explore.

Also ARR has the excuse of you being some fresh off the boat shitter, so for a while you're gonna be an errand boy because that's what everyone thinks of you. Up until you start decking primals.

It also has the excuse of being the content everyone got for a fair while, and being the content after redoing 1.0, so of course it'll be stretched out.

Also I've learned I've been fucking up my SAM rotation the whole time and nobody has noticed until I looked up a video. I haven't at all been using Higanbana (1 sen attack), or the oGCD skill that lets you get your 3 sen fast for free. I guess just doing my positionals and 3 sen attack constantly and consistently (and never fucking up mechanics) means I'm still doing better than others because I'm not asleep at the wheel. An example of that would be the tardbrains I got in a Titan (hard) on duty roulette, where a Reaper floor tanked thrice.

Just gonna get the Thunderstroke/Mighty Thunderstroke (when I get the stuff and levels for it) katana from Ramuh (Extreme) because it reminds me of the Raizan and Buraitou katanas from Onimusha. Not long before I unlock HW content too.

If your cooldowns are constantly rolling you are already doing better than 90% of players, order almost doesn't matter.

Always weird to realise that in games I play that I think way too much about how good I'm doing and "shit I did this wrong", and never notice the dentheads next to me (unless they're blatant about it). I guess that's why I get regular commendations as a DPS.

I remember one dungeon having a boss that casts Doom that can be cleansed by just fully healing the doomed person. Our healer proceeds to not do that. We somehow didn't wipe, but I died like 4 times because I kept getting targeted with it. Made the fight way longer and really frustrating.

I think most embarrassing thing I've done so far is eating shit in the first room of World of Darkness because of tanks not pulling, then eating shit twice against Angra Mainyu because I forgot his mechanics after not getting WoD for a while. And for good measure, eating shit against Cerberus due to an AoE attack the wiki doesn't even mention.

That threads still up but it seems they removed the picture. Unfortunately the internet is forever.
To think I was just checking in to the forums as I do once in a blue moon but got a little sneak peak into the daily life of your average FF14 tranny instead!
 
Making us wait until October to trade for the Enuo mount is some bullshit. Hundreds of totems and nothing to do with them.

Also shout out to the thirsty highlady in the scions.

the combo of "not dying and keeping your cooldowns rolling" is already outdoing solidly 90% of players

higanbana's DoT tick matters in content where your overall DPS matters (ie nothing besides savage and up really) but it's like 5% of your total DPS output and thus hardly noticeable otherwise

Lmao, DT isn't even low stakes either. The first half has you trying to make sure some psychopathic, dollar store garlean war monger doesn't ascend the throne and plunge the world into war. Then the second half is just full blown "well guys looks like we gatta save the multiverse again!"
I wanted a nice vacation where maybe something happens in a small contained story and we have to stop it while in our swim suits. Instead we had to babysit some retarded, sheltered, half baked "princess" while she spends the first half just learning about her own fucking homeland and the second half trying to be BFFs with an AI that orchestrated the massacre of her (whom she didn't even know at all before all of this mind you lol) people and wants to succ the multiverse to death.
I don't mind playing second fiddle to another character in an expansion. What I do mind is if that character that I have to play second fiddle to is likable or not.

What in the fuck?
If that doesn't scream "I want attention" I don't know what does.
Like...see this is what I'm talking about. These trannies think larping as women will solve all their problems when it doesn't. It just covers them with a blanket while it continues to fester underneath until it gets to the point where even the cover starts to rot.
Stop self diagnosing and self treating. Stop using the internet as a stand in therapist. Go see an actual mental health professional. This shit irks me when I see it. You have a bunch of mentally unstable people who turn their trauma or mental health issues into a public show on the internet because they're desperate for validation from a bunch of strangers on the internet and when they inevitably attract the people who do the opposite, they use that as an excuse to justify further enabling their own destructive behavior. Never taking accountability for their own culpability in their constant circle jerk of misery. The shit that some of these people do and say would make even the most hardened psychiatrist reel back in disbelief.

The game is absolutely loaded with these people, who treat the game like it's a glorified therapy session when in actuality, they don't come to the world to escape the real world, they just bring their real world into the game and expect everyone and everything to adjust for them.

The finale. Someone, whether a friend or family has reported them. Or maybe they know they've been posted to the farms. Guess we'll never know.

"Don't want help because they'll send me back to the hospital."
Yes. That is why hospitals exist.
Just sounds like he wants to be enabled rather than get legitimate help. You know who else has that problem? Drug addicts. They don't want people to help them, they just want people to enable their awful lifestyle and in my humble opinion that no one asked for, that's not really living and you might as well kill yourself if that's how you choose to "live" your life.

Regardless if you want help or not, don't make your personal issues everyone else's problem. I don't feel bad for this stupid prick and I can only hope that he either realizes that no one on the internet actually cares about him so he can stop being open about his bullshit or kill himself so he can stop being a waste of oxygen. I normally have more sympathy and appreciation for the sanctity of life but I just don't have the fucking mental bandwidth to give a shit about someone who has such disdain for their own life. Either shut the fuck up or do something with yourself.

I see. Well, it actually saved my ass in a dungeon because our healer died halfway in the last boss, and the tank eventually got worn out and killed. I had to tank with Feint Bloodbath, Second Wind and Third Eye, while a near death black mage was doing his best to apply damage while avoiding death. Having my (actually optimal) rotation saved the attempt because the boss just barely died before he could kill me. Or at least I like to think that.

Companies take that sort of shit very seriously. I know Blizzard will contact law enforcement if someone is suicide baiting, and I’ve heard other companies will as well. Not worth the bad press, and they have your billing information so it is easy to sort out.

I agree with @Dopey Cunt in that folks should be talking to actual professionals rather than using the internet as a stand in. To add, though, I do feel a lot of what these people are doing is typical immature stuff from teens/kids who just haven’t grown up enough.

Unfortunately we’re currently in a state where that sort of harmful behavior is basically being enabled, the most egregious being with trooning kids out.

I have nothing against people wanting to express themselves or people having emotional highs and lows. The problem is where they become basically mired in their own self torture and misery and make no efforts to remedy the situation for problems that are easily solvable or temporary.

Inflicting this shit on other people just ensures those steps are never taken, resulting in more Noah Antwilers.

I really wish people would understand that normalizing mental health doesn’t mean giving people a pass for shitty behavior.
