A Filthy Casual's Guide: Gameplay

Misleading, 1000 series means next to nothing. A 1050 or 1060 is worse than a 970Ti. You can get by with much less than that anyway, if single boxing.

This does not void any sort of warranty, and should be set by default anyway. FFXI is not multi threaded, so multiple threads do not make a single FFXI run any better. If by some miracle you have it off and are multi boxing, it will help.

Irrelevant.


Irrelevant.


Generally not needed. Windows will handle priorities on it's own, and will generally have better results doing so. Garbage like project mercury doesn't help either.


tldr; There is some useful information here, specifically the low lag dat swaps and how to change FPS caps. There's also a whole lot of snake oil, maybe trim out the bs and keep the good stuff. DGVooodoo or atomos' directx proxy deserve a mention as well.

So the purpose of your thread isn't to educate, it's to draw attention? Shocker.

I just want to point out that you don't need a shred of working knowledge of lua. I happen to have just a sliver, but don't even use it. Completely irrelevant to being productive in a party.

Apes

Do us all a favor and take the criticism like a man instead of a mark a$s bish

I honestly think playing without lua is perfectly fine imo. Surprisingly some of the best players I have ever played with or seen 1st hand actually don't use gearswap at all.
Some examples:
Afania is a great COR, I've watched her videos and that is some awesome stuff.
Geriond is hands down Asura's best DRK without a doubt.
And Azzriel, although a completely ignorant ***, his COR is one of the best on Asura.

All of these don't use gearswap and they'll crush almost every DD I know in parse, although parse isn't everything, bare in mind. Survival > Parse.

And even mage jobs, Bratgurl never played with gearswap for ages and her WHM was top tier without gearswap too. It can definitely be done, just not everyone can.

I just hire a Japanese guy to play for me. Expert gaming status
confirmed.

Also I verified that he is a big nerd (anime cosplay)...nerds are good at gaming and stuff.

I always wondered what would happen if you have an alliance of GEO cast bubbles and indi spells at the same time. The poor guy with the average computer.

Thank you for sharing. Going to try some of the tips when I get home

I'm slurping away as his shaft just to come up for air to remind you of how you're terrible at giving advice to players-

You should stay in the gutter along with the rest of asura you scrub. Considering the attention whoring you're doing so much lately - Making up for the lack of things going on with your existence?

Also - Most of the stuff here is on Bg already - https://www.bg-wiki.com/bg/Returning_to_Vana%27diel

You could probably learn a thing or two reading this as you sound terrible at this...

Thanks but you know, whatever I did on cor in the video has extremely low skill requirement, its just TP and (trying to) ws at 1000 TP >.>

Mage jobs are much harder to play than DD in general, I do a lot more stuff when Im on rdm and whm in pt. Although Im not top mage player either. So I find your compliment a bit of a shock to me >.< Thanks though.

I know it's "simple", but soloing stuff is always awesome for me, i enjoy watching.
And you have the knowledge which is why i said you're a great cor. but the fact you do play the job well the way you do is another reason,

He is fun to play with for sure and a good Drk.

I mean his COR would literally destroy mobs and win parse almost every time.
Although he is a parse *** he surives rather well. Not many CORs can take more than 1 hit.

And about Leaden Salute, yes. I done Sealed Fate with Azzriel back before Relic +2/3 and R15 came out and his Leaden Salutes back then still do more damage than R15 DP cors now when I tried.
40-60k on average into 99k dark constantly. Even CORs now struggle to hit 25-35k.
So yes, he is a good cor.

I mean you clearly didn't read the part i said he survives better than most cors.
His knowledge is there, unlike other players.

How do you die on cor with two rostams?

... oh I've managed ;)

Hahaha yassss

Stupid mnks and their counters...

I highly recommend Visual Studio Code, a free text editor that has a huge amount of plugins making it close to an IDE for many programming languages. You can install this Lua extension, which will highlight any errors in your code without you having to go in game and see the dreaded red console errors that are hard to read for non programmers.

Plus it has built in git support for the more hardcore types, where you can setup your own private (or public) git repository somewhere and have all your GS files in a repository. You can then push all your changes to the repository, and if your PC ever dies, or you play on a laptop away from home, you can always get your most recent GS files from the git repository, all inside VSCode
