Please look forward to it in 2020 for the PS5!

Bum rush WHM to 60. Then carefully observe the market, study new craftables and gathering nodes, then work tirelessly to exploit the fragile early-patch market so I can retire.

Haurchefant lookin fine as heeeeeell. Mmmmboy lemme get a piece of that fine Ishgardian ass.8-)

Pretty much what Qhora said will help you a lot in terms of survivability on ROG. It's definitely not just you - the class is crazy fragile, and so is NIN to a certain degree. I remember one of the earlier NIN quests I got cocky, ended up getting my shit slapped, and was like on my last 5% HP, no more cooldowns or anything so I just kited the last mob and killed him with the throw dagger move. It was awful (and kind of fun). The upside being ROG does some insane damage, especially early on, so dungeons are a great, fast way to level.

I can't wait for the real endgame. Glamours.

From what I've heard, RP can found on pretty much every server (at least the non-dead ones), just in much, much smaller quantities. If that's okay with you, I'd recommend doing some research and asking around before you settle on a server that might or might not have an RP population, but is easy to get into. Behemoth, Lamia, Hyperion, Adamantoise - I know all these servers and more have at least SOME RPers on them, but obviously none of them will be nearly as populous as Balmung. I will say that although it is difficult, it is still quite possible to get into Balmung, it just takes good timing and persistence. Either way, good luck.

Don't really think anyone gives a shit. Cheers, though, and good luck. I guess.

Damn I shoulda payed for Melkire's lunch. My ass is grass.

Nothing changed for you, yes, at least in terms of the cutscene animation. As it is with all dialogue in this game, much of Haurchefant's expressiveness outside of voiced cutscenes is still lost in translation to the vast majority of players. It's cool that he's more cool, sure. But let's not confuse "enthusiastic" with "serious." Haurchefant is still deadly serious in the JP version of the game, he is just uniquely emotive. The fact that this was completely changed in the NA version for no apparent reason is kind of unsettling, and quite frankly - stupid. That is all I will have to say on the matter, however.

Here we go. Essentially, Haurchefant is changed to the point of being a cool enthusiast in the English version. While his messages, requests and info drops remain the same, his mannerisms are changed greatly. In the Japanese version, he is much more animated and expressive - to the point where calling him 'flamboyant' would be an understatement. He will make very subtle flirting attempts at the WoL, regardless of gender. He's just... very, very different. The first cutscene in which he is voiced in 2.3 is completely changed in how it is animated. I will link them below, so you can see for yourself. aVlPvBW0UJ8 Jb716z1_8fk Edit: Please note that while the text remains unchanged (obviously), what he is actually saying in Japanese is sometimes radically different. You also don't have to be an expert on the language to know that he is being much, much more enthusiastic.

^pretty much this. You'll see a red (by default) link to an empty page. You can then edit it to create one. Wow I was right for once, huh. What is this forum coming to, I tell ya.

Just search for your character name, when nothing comes up the first result should be a prompt to create/edit a page for that result, and bam. Something like that.

Welcome to the RPC... and I empathize, I am also terrible at saying hello, but I think you did a fine job! If ever you want to talk RP ideas or questions about the game in any capacity, feel free to contact me.

While I have never RPed with you, I've heard nothing but good things and I found your wiki to be a fun read. I have to away to work for now, but if you are interested in, well, anything, I will PM you when I get home.

Bad form, dude. Not really sure what you're trying to pick a fight about, as you've said essentially nothing that hasn't already been discussed thoroughly, but the snide attitude isn't doing you any favors, and only contributes to the deterioration you mentioned.

I already have the Titan pony but if you need a filler body I will be glad to help.

And if you earn 10 of them you'll be permanently banned :c. So the only way to not get warnings is to be vague and indirect? I was wondering the same thing myself. Being blunt and using a dry sense of humor always has a time and a place, despite not always being a bad/aggressive thing. And yet, it seems like passive aggression is the preferred modus operandi here - at least that is how it seems to me. Perhaps it is because bluntness is much easier to detect, and easier to misconstrue as an attack.

1! ))

NGL I find it pretty irritating when random PvEers say "EE-da." Like "eatda hoagie." Last name is pretty straightforward, only part people switch up is "tine" and "teen" for the last syllable (it's "teen").

A woman with little to do Once dreamt that her heart was taboo She woke in the night With a terrible fright Only to recall 'twas true.

CLOSE ENOUGH

Disclaimer, I've yet to do Rot with anyone, but I imagine telling new people to "play hot potato with the debuff! always pass it to the same person!" would work well.... no? There are easier ways to do T2 if you are not cheesing it with enrage, but certain fights like T2 that require much more coordination than most can be difficult with random people that have never done it before. Same reason people find fights like Ramuh Ex harder (yep T13 with randoms >>>>> Ramuh with randoms, RIP in pieces). Everyone has a different way of learning fights; through trial and error, watching videos, reading explanations, having someone guide them through it, etc etc. Get a random DF group with people that have all different learning styles? Some people are going to lag behind the rest, and in a fight like T2 that's not gonna fly so good. Guiding 1-2 fresh sprouts through a fight is easy enough, but when the inexperienced are in the majority, ehhhh... It can be done, but the few experienced folk are liable to get impatient. But hey if anyone wants to do T2 non-enrage HMU any time. If you like doing the Cha Cha Slide you will like T2: For Real. I am not sure at what point T2 enrages became a thing since I had to stop playing around 2.1, but I feel like a non-echo, pure mechanics run of First Coil might be a nice thing to add to a pre-3.0 bucket list, especially for people who joined after 2.1.

1. That's YOUR poster bro ))

You're... joking, right? If it was a healer's job to DPS, then they would be queued as such in duty finder, or at least given the option to do so. As it stands now, this is not how the game is designed, thus if you are WHM or SCH, your first and foremost priority should be the safety and well-being of your fellow party members. If you don't feel comfortable DPSing, then don't. There's no reason to take a risk just because you can and frankly there's very little I can think of more frustrating than watching some wannabe BLM spam Holy over and over while everyone else burns. If there's a reasonable window to switch into Cleric's, then sure, go for it, but it's not a requirement by any means, nor does it shirk one from what they were brought there to do in the first place just because the option is available. It's selfish attitudes like this that push our potential healers away from ever picking up a cane or grimoire. No one deserves to be abused for having what ultimately amounts to a cautious play style, much less so if they're wiling to endure what is, in my opinion, the most selfless role one can ever play in an RPG. --Signed, a frequent stance dancer Hahahahahaha. Good stuff. No, I'm not joking. Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn is a video game. Healing is a certain way of playing said video game, not some righteous vocation that will award you 72 virgins after your death. True, there is no requirement for DPSing as a healer. But there is a large difference between being cautious and/or learning, and being lazy (SCHs in low levels on follow, I'm looking at you). In farmable, out-geared, daily content, just standing around and healing is quite possibly one of the most braindead experiences FFXIV has to offer. If people don't want to explore how to make their favorite role more fun and exciting for themselves, that's on them. No healer in this game was birthed from the womb a Master Stance Dancer. These things take practice, and the knowledge that yeah, it's totally okay to pop Clerics and go HAM if your tank is geared to the teeth and you're bored out of your god damn mind. How many low level roulettes have you done where the clearly new healer just stands there waiting for the tank to drop below the 90% threshold? More often than not, encouraging them to do something other than idling will yield positive results. You would be surprised how many people do not know that it's normal and okay to be a holy-spamming, stone II cold killer on the side. Tank can't take a hit? You're undergeared for new content? Laggy connection? Fine, play it safe. Nothing wrong with that. But coddling people into not challenging themselves is just... why. I understand this is the RPC and not Leddit, but even RPers deserve the chance to go out and try a different play style in PvE with the role they love. No reason to not attain even greater heights as a healer!

WHY. Here is a mentality I will never understand. Here you are, a White Mage, with so many spells at your disposal. And you do not want, or want anyone else, to use half of them. Why? "Durrrr we have DPS skills so we can do solo MSQ stuff and that's it." WRONG. White Mages have one purpose, and one purpose only: MASS DESTRUCTION. Regen is just a bonus. Trust your healers to know when/how to DPS. No one likes a kid that stands there with their thumbs up their ass waiting for the tank to take damage. Everyone likes completing a dungeon 10-15 minutes ahead of schedule. Remember Sylphie, from the CNJ quest lines? Of course you do. At no point in those quests was Sylphie ever an example of what-to-do as a healer. This quote is no exception. It was our job as the Warrior of Light to show Sylphie how to heal properly, as well as, for lack of a better phrase: "fuck shit up." Does this quote not scream "ignorant snot-nosed brat" to you? Because it sure does to me. One day Sylphie will be running WP HM and she will have to make a choice - wait for the DRG and MNK she got paired with to finish off a mass pull and wait for her MP to drain as the tank gets crapped on waiting for the mobs to die? Or go manmode and blast their butts to the Seventh Hell with a few well-placed holys? DPSing as a healer is your job, whether you like it or not. Not that this is directed at you personally Lacey, but seriously all you heal-only healers out there, laziness is a sin. And if you're tanking and die because your healer was going HAM, well... at least it was for a good cause.:thumbsup: /rant
