Playing pretty lightly these days. Spending time on other games that have been building up in my Steam Library of Shame. Currently Mass Effect (I know... I'm a little late to that party).

This week I'll cap esoterics and continue to work on getting my combat jobs to 51. I'd really like the high-level roulette dungeons to give exp, please.

LTW and ALC are both 59 currently. They'll probably be 60 by the end of the week.

I haven't played in a week or two (thanks to Destiny).

I'd love to log in this weekend and knock out a dungeon or two!

I gave my best panel yet to a packed room at AWA last night. Made a new friend on my server too.

Oh, Duo...

Thats called "calling it like i see it" I mean what else would you call, that experience?

While thats 100% true, the current hangout spot (idyllshire) shouts and PF messages/requirements I always see seem to reflect what I said... so while I know ppl who dont suck definitely do exist in said community, theyre either the minority or the ones that DO suck, are the most vocal/more noticed...

I mean for example go to PF and see a PF called "Ravanna ex farm, must have clear/know fight" and see how fast that fills up...

Now go to PF and seed "Help me clear Ravanna" or "Ravanna EX progression/learning" party and youll see that one never fill up or take 6 hours to do so.

Name ONE time in ffxi history where ppl refused to do something with someone whos never done it before?

And youre right about the FC thing, too bad the entire world doesnt operate on a mon-fri 9-5 schedule like everyone who plans statics of fc events seem to think

what you mean to say ppl stopped teaching newbies how to do stuff all of a sudden and adopted the ffxiv mentality? I cant really speak or confirm/deny your statement sine the last time i played was after moogle kupo detata came out but before shannattots acension mini expansion hit

but considering FFXIs playstyle i seriously doubt getting a first timer through shinryu was impossible/hard

Here's why.

Prior to the completion of the Shinryu fight, a Primordial Brew (item that raised all stats to 9999 temporarily) cost 2 million cruor. After defeating the Shinryu fight, it was merely 200K cruor. Still a lot, but one person could farm that much cruor in a few days.

So a Shinryu "farm party" wanted 6 people with a primordial brew to solo him down, one at a time, for maximum farming efficiency. A Shinryu clear party still probably had at least one person who was using a brew, but if you didn't have 3-4 other good people who knew the fight, even with the cheat method of primordial brew there was a risk for failure since a brew only lasted for 2 minutes of god mode and he would take a lot longer than that to kill if the RNG screwed you over. (He only took damage during specific portions of the fight, and the rest of the time hitting him restored health. So doing a massive weaponskill at the wrong time during Primordial Brew god mode would restore him to 100% health.)

I'm not saying that it was impossible to get a Shinryu clear as a pick up without a linkshell willing to help, but you were going to be shouting a hell of a lot longer for a clear party than you would for a farm party for that fight.

of course it didnt start in FFXIV but obviously I ant speak on/of MMOs i didnt play right?

i have been playing a little..
Tes and I have done the first 3 Alexander and has been not too bad. No one will explain anything.. So far no fails though.
How many are there? I would like to finish them all.

I looked them up and 4 of them..
