FFXIV: A Realm Reborn

[Belisarius]

I play primarily on Sargatanas, but I've a char on Gilgamesh I play when I want to build rest exp. An there be a casual/social mafiascum FC or LS, I'd not be averse to some company.

Char name is Marcus Belisarius.

GDI.

Wow, I rule, hydraslipping outside of a frigging game.

Just finished a copperbell mines run & said verbatim to my pt "Congratulations, you've just won cbm with a healer who is precisely as drunk as fuck."

Healing is so much easier in this game than it is in FFXI.

[Belisarius]

For OP purposes, my mafiascum character's lodestone: http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone ... r/5157962/

Hit Chief Storm Sergeant on my main on Sargatanas today though, so my motivation to play other chars is at an all-time low. Once I get my DoHs levelled on gilgy, though...

[Belisarius]

It's mainly going to be late mornings Atlantic time, I spend my weekends on Sargatanas.

[Belisarius]

I greed on everything without feeling guilty because anyone who needs it should be rolling need. That's why they call it "need."

Papa needs storm seals!

[Belisarius]

There are lots of excuses for rocking multiple characters. I play on 3 servers (4 if you count an old 1.0 character I haven't bothered to delete yet); One with characters from my home forums, one with people I work with, and the one with mafiascum people on it. On one of those servers, I have multiple characters so that I can build up heaps and heaps of rest exp so it doesn't matter if I burn up a pile of it doing stuff like gathering or synthing mats on a low-level DoH. I still plan on creating yet another one because I have nobody born in Limsa yet, so I haven't experienced its story missions pre-Satasha. Maybe you want to have a character with a mustache. There's no reason you can't level lots of alts!

[Belisarius]

Are you on Gilgamesh? I can heal or tank the first 3 story dungeons on Sunday no problem.

[Belisarius]

ou should probably try to queue with a healer and/or tank

I had 20 minute waits for lowbie dungeons as a tank on gilgy the last couple of days.

I can heal the first 3 dungeons drunk, though, and get fast invites.

If you've only one class levelled, though, don't level a healer just for invites. Join a Grand Company first so you can get seals for FATE grinding

[Belisarius]

It should be on a card in the game packaging.

[Belisarius]

You didn't get a page with a download link on it?

[Belisarius]

The download link and code shows up on a page during the checkout process; at least it did when I bought the Abyssea edition of FFXI and FF7PC 2012.

[Belisarius]

in before all 4 roll dd

[Belisarius]

*scribbling notes furiously*

[Belisarius]

Also:

I didnt really see any problems with WARs holding aggro.

What's your low-level Marauder rotation look like? Because I have a much easier time holding hate on Gladiator via 2x flash at the start and then a rotation of fb+savage, fb+riot, flash. I have yet to have to ask a party to stop so I can regain MP on gladiator doing that, but I routinely lose mobs on marauder.

Yes, I'm a shit tank, that's why I haven't taken any tanking class past 23 yet.

[Belisarius]

I can't be the only one that thinks Bukkake Manor HM is worse than a scorching case of herpes.

[Belisarius]

Duty Roulette daily doesn't give you a choice.

I've beat Pharos before, but never Bukkake Manor.

<3 CBM Hardmode, though.

[Belisarius]

That happened to me once before; just cancel and try again and you're in.

[Belisarius]

Myth gear is ilvl90 and you can get 11 pieces of it doing nothing post 50 but spamming WP if you want

[Belisarius]

That only affects relic. I notice a glowing sword and shield on paladins, and I recognise relic bows on fellow bards, but if you're any other job, chances are your pt disnae notice.

My commend as a tank has gone to a dps who has done nothing but replace in and survive.

[Belisarius]

Don't be a fuckhead, commend the player who makes the biggest difference.

If you're not commending the thm or bl
Who knows how to blizzard 2 in cbm you're a cunt

[Belisarius]

CU NT CUNT CUNT

Don't be a cunt

[Belisarius]

We'll at least you're not bitter.

I'm nae giving away me names

[Belisarius]

IMPOSTOR!

[Belisarius]

Bard's fun; you can keep shooting while you run, so having to change position doesn't gimp your damage.

Just stack dex, determination, and maybe skill speed, keep both dots up, bloodletter whenever it's up, and watch for healers running low on mana.

[Belisarius]

Sargatanas is my main server XD

[Belisarius]

send my regards to the free company "CounterPost"

Never heard of 'em.

Fat Chocobos 4eva.

[Belisarius]

I ran with a paladin today who was parsing 180.

[Belisarius]

I'll never do the elitism thing.

I now have a 50 healer on Gilgamesh, though.

[Belisarius]

I still technically have a level 50 on Gilgamesh but I've been too busy on Sargatanas to play it.

[Belisarius]

How to get amusing reactions: Say "Let's do Lahabrea with only auto-attacks."

((They wouldn't let me try it ))

[Belisarius]

Where else do you fight Lahabrea?

I know it would work, Lahabrea is easier than an Amherst girl.

[Belisarius]

You can always switch to Sargatanas and join my casual FC.

[Belisarius]

I do, but my characters on Sargatanas consume 100% of my free time. My non-FFXIV games are just gathering dust.

[Belisarius]

After frequenting the Sargantanas PF I'm amazed by how much more competent the average Sargantanas player is compared to the average Coeurl player
like I'm getting one shot Ravana farms in PF
How is this even happening
Why was I not on a server where this is normal

Late, but Mr Happy used to be one of us, and Mithrie still is.

I presume you already have a FC on Sarg. Mine isn't serious about endgame, but I'm still active. An ye want to arse around, I can hook you up with some arseholes.

[Belisarius]

Though it seems like about 40% of the game population is gay sometimes, so maybe they're basically all the gay server at this point.

Sounds about right. Well over half of my FC on Sargatanas is some form of LGBTQIA. I'm not even the only ace on my FC, and I'm p. used to being the only ace in any group I'm part of besides actual ace communities.

[Belisarius]

I'm digging the SB story so far. Lyse is a fucking beast now.
