Difference between "Return" and "Warp"?

[Nemekh]

That's the animation for A Realm Reborn red... you can actually see the champagne bottle appear briefly. Why can this be set as an action, SE please.

I have a feeling this is something that can be done with actions that have Affinity for all classes/jobs that fall under Adventurer.

So it's a bugged out/beta skill that only works in some clients?

Also echoing that I'm ARR beta tester and have never heard of this skill til this thread.

It's not a beta skill. It was added in 4.15 and is for Rival Wings and serves as a replacement for the actual Return. The problem is it's bugged and works outside RW. Warp is technically just a function that hooks to Return's code and bypasses its CD and confirm prompt and giving it the added ability of working while in combat (though getting hit cancels it). There just isn't a check in place to ensure you are inside the intended area.

I'm playing on a Japanese server and first thing after trying Warp (it worked just fine for me) I told my FC guys about it. And guess what? - it doesn't work with a Japanese client! None of the guys that use J client were able to use Warp.
I even linked them this link: https://ja.xivdb.com/action/10061/warp
but for them it's just another Return with a standard CD.

Isn't it weird?

This happens because Warp and Return both have the same name in JP client and the action /ac デジョン prioritizes Return, probably because it's earlier in the list. If you put it on your hotbar with the help of EN client, it will work.

Ultimately, it's not a big bug, and probably won't see a fix until a hotfix after 4.25. Still against ToS, however.

OOOOOHHHH.

That would also explain why so many of us oldbies are baffled by just learning of this skill considering how useful it is. Too bad it's a bug!

Change the title of this thread to be about buffing Dark Knight so they don't see this!

I like your sense of humor. You Sir/Madame with the internet for today

Seems like there are lots of skills that can be used outside of their intended modes. Someone found out that you can cast Ungarmax in normal duties by typing out the action for it; which is pretty broken when you consider it gives the entire party 50% damage up for 15 seconds. There is a reason it was only meant to be used in squadron dungeons, and yet you can use it in Savage or wherever provided you have a single LB bar.

Ya know...actually an lb that gives a general increase to damage for a bit of time would be welcome variety over what we have now. But yeah, as it is ungarmax outside of squad dungeons is outside game's intended parameters as far as I'm concerned.

O6s cheese pull by removing gear and putting it all back on right before pull. HP dropped to 30% or so. Adlo spread. AST spreads AOE balance. Survive demonic howl, creating an LB bar. AST Squadron LBs after the AOE attack lands dealing 2700 potency worth of damage in under 5 seconds, while also buffing nearby party members DPS by 50% for 15 seconds from squadron buff. Celestial oppositions, increasing duration of balance and squadron buff by 10 seconds. Time Dialates strongest DPS. 15 more seconds of balance and squadron buff.

Holy jeebus SE what is going on.

lol... someone already did it. https://streamable.com/01c1r

Its worth mentioning that I dont think theyve uploaded any parses doing this and this upload was just to show that they could do it. Really solid DPS in this static

So from all the reading I've been doing about this and the limit break issue, some people are saying you could get banned just for having used it? So I guess I'll be avoiding it from this time on, but more than the small amount of gil saved I actually quite liked having it as a text command to go back to in the 'previous text log entries' and quickly warp back to the same location again. (Usefully when doing lots of sidequests that send you out to speak to one person in another location and then return to town for the next objective.) I'd be happy to pay the fee every time, but it just seemed simpler with the text input. Can that work for Teleport? [/ac Teleport "Destination Town"] or something like that?

Warp is a remnant from Alpha / Beta..
If you were stuck, you were told to use Warp as it's the same as return but no CD.

In other words, it shouldn't actually be in the game still..

It might have been left in as there are probably still code errors that will get players stuck. SE might not want it to be common knowledge and only used at the direction of support people but obscurity doesn't last long.
