Figured I'd share here, someone from the BST forum kindly tested the Dolichenus+3% WSD effect with the diamond aspis and found it caps at +30% WSD (12th was was same damage as 21st).
This makes Dolichenus+Diamond aspis fencer build fairly interesting.
I dont think it makes it interesting at all.
Doli best WS doesn't really take big advantage from WSD and all WSs that scale good with WSD are either weapon specific or also scale with TP, so it's way better to use Ikenga's axe. |

I just installed a monitoring system on my circuit breaker to see a detailed breakdown of my energy needs. I've been thinking about solar panels and wanted to really understand my electricity needs.
I am pretty dang surprised to see that my gaming PC is the highest power draw in my house. More than my clothes dryer, more than the refridgerator, more than the microwave.
I've only had this monitor for a week, but so far my PC uses about 3kwh per day just being on and running this stupid idle game I play. I played Expedition 33 for a few hours over the weekend and at full tilt my PC pulls 650w. I ended up with 6.5kwh one day and 5.5kwh of power draw the next only playing like an hour.
TL:DR : A decent gaming PC can cost like $0.75 a day just being left on and as much as $1.25/hr using your PC at 100% performance. I expect that from an ancient rig but shocking for a modern power efficient setup. Electricity is insane here and with 4 adults dependents like 700 bucks last month due to the summer AC and having electric vehicle plus ancient 1970's home needing all new insulation etc
Makes me want to replace the falling apart roof with a solar roof but dont have the 20k cost right now and dont want to put a lien on the home.
I'm excited to see exactly how much power a state-of-the-art 2025 solar roof set up can generate here in the desert lol |

At least he didn't tell us to go play XIV.

Quote: Interviewer: One of the most prominent responses in both Japan and overseas was the request for the addition of new stories and quests. What do you think about this?
Fujito: I understand that the power of "stories" is very large. If we could, we would like to visit Tavnazia itself and the Orc Empire in the north... but to be honest, it is difficult in many ways. As I mentioned earlier, there are ways to develop new stories outside of games, such as books and video works, so considering the current situation, I think it would be realistic to develop a new story in that direction.
Fujito, please... |

would be hilarious if it would work like some of the weapon trails where someone else in your party can do the WS and it still counts towards your progress.

I am glad the game brought relief to her depression and I am sure she touched the lives of countless others because of it. Sounds like we lost a wonderful woman. RIP and my condolences to your family.

/DRG sub is great for highly buffed situations/capped attack. It's really nice with R15 Mythic Axe or Pangu Path B. Losing the Double Attack with these weapons does not hurt your TP gain much at all. Some will argue that you do not want DA when AM3 is active.
This is something i noticed.
Went to worms in KRT as /war, right after i got the shield and i tested all the axes.
Aymur AM3 felt like it did nothing (in terms of multi attacks) |

This translated comment lol...
Interviewer: Apart from requests related to the story, in Japan, requests for things that have already been implemented, such as job balance and adjustments to existing content, stood out. In contrast, in the responses from overseas, requests for the implementation of new things, such as the addition of new content and further growth elements, dominated the majority. What do you think about these requests?
Fujito: Personally, I think that the opinions of Japanese and overseas people are ultimately the same. In short, it's about "wanting to take on new challenges." So, regardless of whether it's an existing or new thing, I think we need to provide a place where people can take on new challenges every year, and as part of that, we have decided to implement the new Limbus this year.
aka... no job balances/adjustments lol completely avoids commenting on that specific request that both Japanese and overseas individuals want to see.

On the other hand. A pub that required you to show up with 18 people every time would go out of business.
Nobody anywhere said 18, that'd entirely in your head. FFXI hasn't been alliances only is over a decade. Did I quote anybody saying that or that was my own comment? Am I allowed to make my own observations? Lol... I hope they allow more people than 6, but not the old 18 people content. That's my own observation. |

They spent all those resources on Volume2 Ambu that nobody does. (that I know of)
They could easily bump those fights up in difficulty and have a ton of new Ambu content for +3. I remember when people thought they would never do +2.

Raising ambuscade to +3 raises the starting floor. Not about keeping ambuscade relevant.

Messing with Altanaview.
Some goblins were supposed to use guns. Wonder why they didn't use it?

Sounds like they abandoned the Ambuscade Gear +3 concept.

does everyone have boots / legs in their speed idle set? Is there any scenario chocobo knife could reign supreme?
We all want it to...but sadly no....

But if the event is a hardcore 18 people alliance, it will alienate people even more.
The good gear distribution from the alliance era was much more skewed towards the elite linkshells. Today you can get five joes and get the job done.
I think reading the interview questions might help
Interviewer: Please tell us the outline of what the new Limbus will be.
Fujito: New Limbus will be implemented as a non-occupying battle content that multiple people can participate in at the same time. It is designed to be something that you can play solo whenever you want, and we are proceeding with the production with no particular time limits for staying. Also, there are already many contents that can be played in a loop like Ambuscade, but New Limbus is designed to be more fun the more people participate, so that we can respond to requests for "I want to play with more people" and "I want to fight together".
This is favorable content for LS's like mine that regularly did 18man omen/aeonics/dyna that could not incorporate ody and sortie in our LS event schedule due to the strict limitations on jobs and party size. I'm all for it. |
|
 |
|
Which means they listened to feedback about the garbage 6 player limit in their last two events.
Look forward to the next Limbus installments when we gonna bring exciting 6 man contents, with the real deal of rewards. |

Not new but Im watching the review of Saya no Uta.
Some games are pretty popular in the edgy community.

I'm envisioning it to be laid out like the Promys or Escha zones, and when you pick your difficulty, it sets you or warps you to an area/map with monsters of the same level range, rather than it just being one large zone people can roam around.
They showed a bunch of different mob types, which should mean literally every job can participate here and make progress. Thinking glorified Apex/Locus camps with your choice of what to kill (or maybe it requires killing several different mob types to get mats to upgrade).
Side note: BST about to make a comeback here for sure :3

I'm picturing something like abyssea + encounter flag. You can pop NMs, but nobody outside your group can interact with them. Guess they didn't explicitly state whether they'd be DI-style fights, though.
They did say no NMs in the first update - those to be added at a later date. That is at least how I read the YouTube translation, anyways. |

So probably Apollyon = Relic and Temenos = AF?
I believe it was stated in the Freshly Picked that it was the opposite. |

Good to know about the tomahawk thing vs v25.. this would explain why ws dmg always felt lower than what it could be, thx god i recently got relic piece to enhance tomahawk
Tomahawk and Savagery 5/5 is amazing and standard. The ultimate burst "get wrecked" combo. 50% Uptime not even counting resets also |

Going back to the topic at hand. I'm not sure how I feel about alliance. Keeping up with a static is already hard enough nowadays.
Six man content can die in a fire, we already have too much of that and it's been killing this game. FFXI is a social game and like social food is best enjoyed in groups. The issue with six man content is that you need six and only six people. By making content doable with six but not restricted to six you open up larger social groups to participate. In practice this means most of us can bring more friends and people who can't make consistent playtimes while still clearing the content.
Try to think of FFXI like going to your favorite pub or hangout. Now imagine that place only allowed in groups of exactly six people. If five of you showed up, can't come in, if seven of you show up, someone has to leave. Now that place could be the most amazing place ever, so amazing that you are forced into finding exactly five people who are always able to make it after work. It's doable but is painful and makes you kinda want to find another amazing place to visit that doesn't have a six person requirement. |

Little update, started working on moving all the different bars into their own settings sections. First thing I did was work on the party actions, here I've got them integrated and matching with my XIVParty layout (props to Ragnarok.Tylas for that sweet addon).
