Hyperbole much? Dunegons don't take an hour even with minimal pulls, and most of the time it is not even possible to pull just 1 enemy at a time anyway.
Doing minimal pulls adds no more than 5-10 minutes to the run time (depending on dungeon and amount of AOE the party can bring) - so eating a 30 min penalty wouldn't save you any time.

All dps bar SAM are balanced

1. Comparing systems from this game to World of Warcraft is perfectly fine since it is the competition and a game of the same genre.

2. Movement animation in this game needs vast improvement. Sometimes I can see people run in place and other times they move their feet once every 20 feet moved. I do not see this in World of Warcraft and it is an ancient game. The database defense doesn't play here.

3. Every expansion release, the previous expansion patch quest should be streamlined and trimmed of fat to better fit into a new person's story experience. Hiring one person to do this wouldn't break the bank and certain other games like...World of Warcraft can do it. There is no reason 2.x stories could not be preserved yet also get rid of that stupid bottleneck of useless quest that just gets in the way of it.

4. Add PotD traps to every dungeon. Think of the possibilities. "Hey guys watch me pull all three groups. I'm doing it I'm doing it I am so....oh crap I'm a frog!"

Who wants to play like that? No one. I'm a healer main, and I'd rather not spend my time that way. I can spend a 30min penalty doing MUCH more interesting things. Not to mention that with tiny pulls, any AOE skills that DPS roles have are barely necessary at that point. "This is super boring, but at least I'm doing things right!" = Said no one, ever, about any video game.

What I will say, is that it's important to know if the healer is alright with large pulls, rather than just going balls to the wall pulling everything. Which is why I ask them at the start of the dungeon when I tank. If they're not, it doesn't bother me so much. But the reason it doesn't bother me when I pull small, is because I'm the one tanking it, so it doesn't seem boring. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm assuming you're a tank main? Try to consider the point of view from healer/DPS mains. When I heal, I find large pulls challenging, and it makes the dungeon worth while.

Fun fact here, I'm much more likely to notice what a person is doing horribly wrong in smaller pulls simply because there's no danger. I guess the only benefit to their, "Pull so tiny you make people fall asleep" strat is I notice just how awful someone is and can kick them before the first boss.

That's what they want right? They said if it's easy and boring people are doing it right, right? Even with two ice mage's it's still boring and easy, so ice mage is doing something right, right?

Not the person quoted, but I'll help ya out. You can use Discord in 1 of 2 ways, either through your Interbutts browser or by downloading the actual program (I prefer the program just so you don't have to reopen different Discord channels in browser every time you close browser/turn off computer/whatever). This is program for download BTW. To add Moro up there, after you've set up the program and whatnot, click on the three-people icon at the top and go to "add friend", and type in the ID Moro gave you up there. Discord is a VOIP program but you can use it as a chat channel too just by typing to Moro via Direct Message anytime you wanna shoot the breeze.

Hopefully that helps. If you run into any snags let me know and I'll try to troubleshoot.

Now two DPS just ate a 24k damage hit from not dodging a mechanic. They can self heal 6.5k. lets say they suffer 15k damage total. That's 4 gcds healers would have to make up to get them back up. that means the tank will be down 10k damage if one healer still heals nonstop. And now the 40k tank buster is coming up.

You'd wind up making it so that DPS couldn't make any mistakes, or it would lead into a situation where the healer just couldn't keep up, and there'd be more deaths. Or say the tank screwed up a cooldown, and took 20k more damage, the healers can't fix that; it would eventually lead into a wipe. It's really hard to tune that without making each job self-contained and solely responsible for its own role, with no other way to compensate for it. It would also work in other ways; healers couldn;t help with DPS checks since we use more GCDs for healing, and tanks stay in tank stance more because without it they take too much damage.

---

that situation might do one of two things. 1) allow those who enjoy playing pure healers more recognition in groups when they perform a miracle and prevent wipes or 2) have more vitriol thrown at healers who just cant keep up with the massive amount of damage going out from the most minor of mistakes. Id like #1 to be the case but we all know #2 will be the inevitable outcome, especially from those whining "healers are too good" and demanding potency nerfs. they will be the first ones abusing the healers for sucking and running to the forums demanding that something be done about those 'healing baddies'.

I guess I just can't see this, tbh. Other MMOs have a much more natural output of damage so that as long as a healer is moderately pushing their healing buttons and using cooldowns they shouldn't run into too much difficulty in casual content. I'm a casual healer in WoW (normal mode raids at best which are challenging but still completely puggable - think EX primals just in raid form) and never feel like "healing constantly" is this taxing process that requires a huge mental overhead from me. It just requires me to focus more on my party's health bars than the boss health bar, I guess you could say.

The biggest reason healing in this game likely won't change is because fight design would have to be completely re-tooled from the ground up to make it work. It's not as simple as "nerf healing potencies", because right now virtually EVERY fight in this game is about massive burst damage followed with lull periods (usually incoming one-shot mechanics where players are not expected to take damage unless they fail the mechanic) to allow healers to get value out of the regen/oGCD aspects of their kit. Imagine something like Almagest at the ilevel most of us were when we started O4S, but imagine healing power arbitrarily cut in half - a single Almagest round with that dot would probably force layering just about every regen you have along with AOE heal spam between, and your mana would be tanked before you know it. Now if you're saying, "just halve mana costs too, np", well how does that affect periods where there's just single-target damage going out? You're suddenly keeping one person up with a lot less effort/opportunity cost, especially between two healers babysitting them. Healers would probably still be DPSing there, so you'd still keep that same DPS focus for single-target/tank healing but make AOE burst damage a lot harder to deal with for no real reason.

In other MMOs damage is a steady, constant ongoing stream with very few spikes/danger areas. Healing in, say, World of Warcraft is more about stemming a slow bleed with your resources than about efficiently powering through massive near-teamwipe damage with as few casts as possible (and DPSing in the interim). Unless that aspect of XIV healing changes, I don't think just "nerfing healers" will produce much of an effect. Even tank cooldowns are oriented around that burst-type damage - there's virtually no "low CD, medium impact" tank cooldowns that tanks are expected to rotate constantly to mitigate steady sustain damage, it's all about waiting for the boss to do his super move and rip something like Vengeance or Sentinel, then wait another minute or so before ripping something else for the next tank buster (or tag in your OT with Shirk and go full DPS mode yourself to get maximum value out of mitigation CD timers). The gauge abilities like Shelltron come close, but I find they generate too slow and bar Inner Beast don't have enough of an impact to encourage rotating them (and even then I bet more WARs use other CDs to mitigate and save Beast Gauge for Fell Cleave).

Whole fights would have to be changed from the ground up to make room for any sort of changes to healing design. With XIV's level sync enforced for pretty much every roulette you'd have to check every trial, every dungeon, every 24-man raid to make sure that nerfed healers can keep up with damage output without difficulty, and you'd have to design all future content going forward (including possibly some already partway through development) around this idea of more "heal-oriented" healers.

Would I love it? Sure. Do I see it happening ever, given how little SE seems to want to a.) disrupt the status quo, b.) invest significant resources into this game (see: housing, server limitations, etc), and c.) enforce a playstyle change that frankly would be pretty disliked by a not-insignificant portion of the healer playerbase (if healer subforums and Reddit are anything to go by)? Nope.

Psh, how could I hate you?

It's an app I use on my phone and tablet. PC players I play with run it directly on the computer they're using for FFXIV too and I'm not too sure about how that works. I downloaded it from the google play store, it's. A purplish icon that says "Discord - Chat for Gamers" as its title.

It's a handy tool for voice comms in game but at this point for me I mainly use it to chat with friends either in-game or from the forums (Tridus, Miste, etc.) and it works kinda like any other text-based messenger app.

You make an account and they give you that 4 digit number after your username then you can add people to your friends list with it. It's great on these forums specifically because we don't have a private message system so I have no way to say "Hey Vanille, we should go run things together because reasons!" but on discord that would be easy to arrange.

You're a smart person. If you download it my username is listed in my sig, I'd love to run some random roulettes/Sigmascape/Byakko or something with you whether you do voice on it or not. I know not everyone is super comfy with voice chat.

I'm sorry this is so wordy and off topic o.o

But yeah, join up if you get a chance!

Unpopular opinion? Us Au Ra arent dragons(confirmed in game and out of game) or lizards. Its more likely that we are Allagan creations a hybrid of one of the enlightened races and voidsent (sourcing from the early concept art as female Au Ra are depicted as more demonic in looks much like a succubus). And before you say it yes there are voidsent with scales and horns gargoyles are covered imps have scales running along their spine succubus have hornes and the leathery patches could be “scales” of a sort cerberus has scales ect. Having scales does not mean we are lizards or dragons we are also different in the fact that we also have mammary glands (boobs) belly buttons and hair as well as regular skin which suggests mammals (pangolin ftw). So yeah most likely Allagan humaoid voidsent hybrid bc lets be honest wouldnt be the first time theyve done that kinda thing.

Idk, part of me still feels like they threw out the whole "not dragons" thing at the start of HW because they were afraid of backlash wrt a new "super lore-relevant race that has a lot more interaction with the expansion than other races" or something. I feel like it's not a coincidence that the dragons Hraesvelgr and Nidhogg were black and white dragons and Au Ra could have either black or white scales, especially given the story related to Shiva and her...relationship with Hraesvelgr.

Who knows, though. Either way I feel like that was actually really wasted potential for some actual exciting and complex lore background.

It should work about as similar on PC as it does on your phone. Just download it, set a button for "push-to-talk" if one wishes and have it on in the background after joining whatever channel ones wishes to talk in when it comes to that part. You can also run it in a browser but you can't run it in the background with voice, though I do need to try it out on the Steam overlay to see if that works with it.

Also consider the creation myth of the Dawn Father and Dusk Mother. If Hraesvelgr and Niddhog were the ones to make the Au Ra wouldnt it be Dawn and Dusk father? No this wouldnt make sense however Xande and The Cloud of Darkness well thats a little more fitting and fits with the titles Dawn FATHER and Dusk MOTHER as Xande is male and CoD is female. Its more then likely they had lil halfbreed babies who were then subject to experimentation.

:eek:I'll give it a try. I've actually never done any sort of voice chat so I probably won't do any of that. XD

I'll download it and add you! Thank you!

ALSO didn't realize you were friends with two other common faces on the forums. Tridus is someone I especially find myself agreeing with often.

Let's not forget Tiamat was the dusk wyrm and Bahamut the dawn wyrm. It's most likely a red herring to further muddle the possible origins of the Au Ra but it's still a very good idea to pursue at the least in terms of their beliefs. And while NPCs still refute that they descend from dragons, we also haven't seen any hints of spoken races able to interbreed with voidsent and is headcanon at best. Just because people WANT to sleep with succubi, or other kinds but I won't judge, doesn't mean a viable offspring would result from what is usually a possessed dead body or manifestation of an alien being.

Yeah, the DRK trainer...who came out after the release of HW. I'm suggesting the possibility that Au Ra were bounced around as potential dragon descendants and that it was something that was scrapped in development, that's all. The general theme of HW and their appearance just strikes me as too much of a coincidence.

The first I never said Xande and Cloud of Darkness mated I did say that they had offspring however this does not mean they mated as most people are aware the Allagans had access to genetic spliceing off spring in this case would mean spliceing their dna into a subject and seeing a result. The second is that the Au Ra as much as everyone wants are NOT native to dravania but are native to the far east. It is nice to see you want to stick to the dragon theory but theres really no basis for it male dragons are not larger then female dragons they do not give live birth nor do they have limbal rings around their eyes yes they both have scales but so do fish lizards pangolin (which are mammals) voidsent anata snakes etc. Where as dragons stuck to dravania/myrcedia the Allagans had an empire which trancends boarders its very likely they went to the far east and just as likely experimented there.

DRK came out at same time as HW.... I even unlocked it during early access and even saw him in the tavern....

I know people WANT Au Ra to be dravanian but the lore had already established that they arent native to dravania or even Eoreza and that they are native to the far east hence not draconic. Just because they have horns and scales does not make them part dragon. Some of the bigger coeurl have horns and all of them have scales along their back are Au Ra part coeurl? No. Taking these facts into account along with the original concept art its safe to assume not draconic or lizard and more likely some kind of demonic nature instead not to be confused with voidsent but generic rpg demon.

I know? Maybe I'm not making my point clear. I think it was an idea they might have bounced around when Au Ra concept art (so before HW) was released but decided to change it (before HW release, when the expac was still in-dev) because they didn't want to place more "lore significance" of one race over any other ones for the expac. Elezen were the racial focus for Heavensward but Au Ra having a dragon backstory would have overshadowed them like woah.

EDIT: Yugiri being from the Far East doesn't mean much, tbh. Her backstory wasn't really developed until Stormblood, and even then we don't know much about her Au Ra tribe or origins, just that she works for Hien.

I mean, if anything I think it stands that the races in general could use a bit more in-game backstory or something, regardless of what we believe. We can theorycraft and talk about stuff scrapped in development or whatever all day, but in general I'd just love to see more Eorzean lore, instead of it all being locked away in outside material like books.

I think Dark Knight is fun and more interesting or engaging to play job than other two.

Inner release, overheat and all other abilities like them duration should be increased to 11s.
If they aren't willing to move the servers somewhere less retarded they should make some abilities less dependent on ping, but they won't because this game is designed around 200(20) ping.

They should have added Viera instead of Au Ra. Au Ra all have kawaii uguu~ faces.

Sadly.

He outright admitted in an interview that Au Ra women are his favourite...so I have little doubt that he is responsible for the shift from the original concept art to their current design.

Viera will likely undergo a similar makeover. I don't think this game needs any additional playable races, anyway. I'd sooner see some additional character customisation options added to those that exist already.

I mean they already had concept art for both, so they're at the very least considering a Tactics 'cutesy' version and have been for awhile. Frankly I want them to go with the FF12 version. While I happen to have an Au Ra half of them look like creepy porcelain dolls to me and I don't want the same to happen with the Viera.

And now that you clarified your point about DNA splicing I can see that being a possibility but hardly proven any more than the draconic theories. And who's the say that Au Ra claiming no relation to dragons are right? Look at what the Ixal believed.

Most definitely. We need more lore in general and I wouldn't be opposed to them adding new quests in the same vein as the moogle mail quest line. And yes scrapped concepts and art can't quite be used for support one way or another until we get more information.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with Lyse, and her entire character so far is a fairly realistic portrayal of someone in her situation that's suddenly thrust into a position of authority. Said maneuvering of her wasn't unrealistic either.

Also dango is mediocre

We need more ramen, for Gladio! Believe it!

Somewhat unpop opinion: I don't care if your alt job needs the gear more then a fully geared BiS person, if they are on the job they can roll Need for the item too. Though I will agree it does suck if you got really unlucky with the first RNG in gods knows how many runs on such and such piece.

And he was the one that changed Lakshimi to something more cute and beautiful than the original version was...so can we please have more monsters or bosses that are not just for his taste? Can we have not so beautiful NPC or boss women and sexy/handsome male bosses? I like cute things but its getting a bit too much.

I mean, if we're talking Viera, I think I would prefer the short, cute ones.

While I like Viera, and fully support their addition to the game if they are added, the cute concept would doubly act as a counter to Lalafell. Despite have 3 very tall races (2.5, really, because Au Ra girls) and several average sized option, the scaling drops to very small and baby like for Lalafell. It's a dramatic aesthetic shift.

So, those cuter Viera concepts could bridge the gap a bit, be a second short and sweet option, and be another animalistic option.



But I would rather something Liltie-like. Dwarf-like people with plant features.

Actually, they stated a while back Au Ra aesthetic were changed due to how JP players overwhelmingly dislike bestial race options. I believe complications with armour also led to the change.

It's not. An MMO game cannot be designed around high PING. Their "designed around 200 ping" means only that you can manage to pass content if you're a really good player with a good team, however, 200 ping is way too much for some mechanics. Unless you are able to foresee them being used and move early, chances are you're going to be hit by something that someone with 50 ping could avoid easily while still throwing a quick cast.

When talking about quick cast, with 200 ping it is possible to:
Cast a spell with cast time despite using Swift Cast (you need to wait a moment for the Swift Cast to register, thus together with its animation lock almost halving its potential).
Spend mana/triggers to cast a spell on already dead mob (even with a cast time).
Often invalidate cast interruption for changing spell since the time it takes for the game to relay to the server and back that you can cast another spell is so long that you often would manage to finish the spell in the first place (but it still works if your intent is to dodge AoE).
Lose out on ability usage as weaving multiple in-between is going to push your global cooldown skills back a bit.
Be hit by fast attacks before you even see their AoE marker...
Interrupt your casts through moving even though you stopped moving 0.2sec earlier.

If a game with so many disadvantages is "built around 200 ping", then I really don't know what definition they use for "built around".

I was only referencing Yoshi lie before the servers move, he said the game was designed around 200ping (when its actually around japaneses at 20 ping).

And yet who has the largest consistent number of requests for a Bangaa race?

Hmm, the JP community...

At this point I'm too used to the dainty Au'ra females to care much, but that hardly seems consistent as a primary warrant on Yoshida's part.

Being popular or unpopular

I would like to see Tank "tanking" more and Healer "healing" more

Give Tanks and Healers more CDs and make the boss rape Tank HP as their own b**ches so we can tank instead of DPS and Healers can heal instead of DPS.
