FFXIV Confessions

[Rasikko]

I haven't seen a doctor, but I am kind of scared I have a retinal tear in my right eye. Maybe not, maybe it's something minor, my eye has been sore for the past few days, when I resubbed to FFXIV a couple days ago, and started playing again, this game, out of everything I do has been giving me the worst eye pain. I did a Copied Factory run, the other day, all the small movements with my eye, looking around the screen, people to heal etc. my eye has been killing me. Still healing anyway, but I can only play for short-mid periods, and not high intensity without getting eye pain. Actually, I still get eye pain, it's just not as bad when I am not moving my eyes around too much.

Kind of sucks. Hard to heal while in pain.

It may be minor and it may not be. I implore you to see a doctor at least for a checkup. I did this for myself a few years ago after I had a big "eye" scare. Nearing 40, my eyes are undergoing changes I was not quite "ready" for heh, like increase of floaters(a possible sign of detachment, to which my check up did not reveal such).

After reading further posts, yes you should go see one. I sat/sitting on a lot things wrong with me XD, but my eye sight I don't mess around with.

Lessening the amount of time you stare at your screen may help in the mean time.. Computer screens do put stress on the eyes because we don't blink as much.

Obviously take every bit of advice you get online with a pinch of salt, though that sounds similar to an issue that affected a family member of mine. In their case it turned out to be an issue with eye pressure. It sounds like something that should be investigated by a medical professional either way just to be on the safe side, especially with how valuable eyesight is in general.

Back in SB in Orbonne when it first came out I had some tanks who didn't wanna tank so aggro was ping ponging like crazy from trash till Mustadio where 3 dps died because no one wanted to tank.

We get to Agrias and I'm on RDM, I pull threat and get marked with the huge red marker on my head and she turns around kills everyone. After that everyone yelled at the tanks for not tanking, I could have used Diversion or Lucid but I wanted to pew pew.

I felt pretty guilty as people left the raid which lead to a vote abandon, people started saying the tanks killed em which is partially true but man wiping a whole alliance raid is better than getting an ultra kill.

My confession ... I always bullied Miqo'te girls, I didn't like them, said they all are the same ...
And one day I used a fantasia and became Miqo'te for two months. YES I was jealous, that's all !! D:

Everyone is pretty much the same cause the CC is limited as hell. :c

It took me renewing my sub in Shadowbringers to start slinging AoE spells on groups as SMN. I always always always used single-target until someone in an FC I was in mentioned using AoE spells (that by virtue of the dungeon we were in I didn't have access to at the time). As soon as I was able to, I started slinging AoEs anytime there was more than two enemies.

Also, I'm afraid to do Expert as anything other than DPS.

I only pick food that looks like I'd eat or drink in real life when I'm leveling.
Usually I go for sweets and drinks and stuff, or things that look appealing or cute.
That said, this lady makes nice foods in real life using XIV foods!
I buy this one a lot!

I don't care for the story at all. I tried getting into ARR and nothing grabbed me, then I watched all of HW's cutscenes and still couldn't care less. I skipped all SB&ShB because I just didn't care. I even went back and tried rewatching ShB's cutscenes because people kept pestering me about it, and I still couldn't get invested. MSQ just does absolutely nothing to grab my attention.
