So I played the new "24 Man Raid" and it sucks. It's probably the worst instanced content Square Enix has ever put out in FFXIV and mind you I've played Diadem. Making it so anyone can queue regardless of role is a fucking awful idea because it means certain parties are not balanced at all for a raid encounter meaning if you only have one healer, you're going to be dying a lot. I'm probably not going to do the 48 man and I'm never running this dungeon again.

What I usually do is bring lost actions to make up for the lack of survivability. I'd bring raise and cure.

But I mean, yeah, kind sucks if you get a party with zero healers.

For the new Southern Front shit, right? That's fucking discouraging lol. Wonder what kind of nightmarish bullshit we'll have to deal with on the 48 man. I didn't terribly dislike the content, I think the devs forget how many helmet kids play this game and just keep shit that requires thought and coordination to 8 man shit. That being said the numerous times I ran Castrum when Southern Front was the thing to do, I didn't have too many issues. Then again my first few runs I got lucky and ran into discord groups that already had most of their groups together.

The literal only differences between normal and savage is that savage is 48 man and that you can't be raised through normal means. Dying means you get auto booted from the raid if you aren't brought back up before time is up.

While disheartening, it just seems like Squeenix is up to it's old habits of "two steps forward, one step back," especially since they should have learned more how much they can fuck around with raids/general player base IQ with Eureka.
 
At least add a fucking buff at the beginning of the raid to change your job or add it to DF.
 
It wouldnt even be that bad if you didnt lose EXP on normal fucking mode.
Leave the mettle loss for the Savage tier.
 
I would recommend hitting rank 15 first. That way no matter how much your mettle goes down, your rank will remain the same. You can lose all your mettle but still keep your rank. It doesn't go down. After clearing, you'd probably gain it back just as fast on the front.

Meanwhile my feelings regarding having to grind a 24 man just for a chance at hair.

This is fucking HoH all over again. I hate having to work to be able to customize my character. That shit should already be available.
 
This just in: You do not need to be BLU to get the cerberus mount. The cerberus mount is awarded from completing the savage version of the 24 man raid. All you have to do is successfully complete it and you will receive an achievement that rewards you the mount.

Go crazy, lads.
Also, you have a chance to win this mount at the end for doing normal:

Is the new hairstyle really flagged untradeable? Because I know you can pretty much buy any of the Firmament-locked hairs on the Market Board since they're not untradeable.

Though they're probably going to be scalped to shit right now since it just came out. Usually have to wait a few months for them to lose value.
 
dang that's pretty cool looking. almost makes up for it being a thing from Type-0

Oh no, I saw it on the marketboard already.

Uuuuh..lemme check real quick..

Uh no, it's tradable. It's called Modern Aesthetics - Early To Rise. I just don't know what the drop chance is for it and the mount.

Just wait for the value to go down and buy them if the grind's too much like pulling teeth. Fuck it.

The identification key isn't marked Untradeable either, so someone will put it up for grabs.

Telling me not to masochistically grind stuff for small things is like telling me not to breathe.

I hate myself way too much to do that.

Can the mount be bought using the yellow crystals or no?



I actually like the new 24 man raid, but DAM is it hard as balls. We only managed to skate by because one brave soul who already beat it was guiding us.

No. It's a mount that's awarded through achievement only.

Beat the savage, get the achievement and then go to the achievement guy in Gridania to claim your reward.

I decided to give the raid another chance and... I like the fight, but the fucking rewards and the requirements to augment the law gear are ridiculous.
So not only do I need all these materials from savage, but on top I need to augment the Bozja gear... the 999 fucking coins Bozja gear?
Nah, fuck you YoshiP.
