I usually have good luck with PUG tanks but the one time I went with another goon to do the Sunken Temple our tank wasn't using any of his enmity skills. We managed to beat the first boss somehow, but after 30 minutes of beating our heads against the second one all the while nicely trying to tell him to "use your abilities" during which all we ever got was "ok" before he just suddenly quit.

I haven't played since the free subscription with the game ran out, has anything new been added/have there been major changes and do you still need to grind fates some time after level 40 or so, since there are no quests or anything?

They also hinted that the new classes wouldn't quite be what people are expecting

This is Square-Enix, they are saying this and expecting their new and shiny classes to be something new and awesome, but it will totally just end up being something generic/expected.

People get mad when you tell them how to play a game

Copperbell normal. We wipe and I ask the tank to please hold aggro. "You shut up and do more damage" and then I get kicked.

I had a baby tank in Toto-rak the other day as I was leveling my bard, but he was actually really friendly and open to advice. At the beginning, he was face-pulling packs and letting 2/3 of them run off at the healer. At the end, he was shield lobbing on the way in, double flashing, and rage of halone comboing. :3:

(Okay, so he wasn't always rage of halone comboing the right thing, but he still went from an F to a solid B+ or A- in the course of one instance.)

Occasions like that are why I like to at least try to give advice. They totally outweigh the times when people flip their poo poo. Besides, those are entertaining too, in a different way.

This was my experience today too. The tank was only attacking the initial monster of the pull for a long time and not spreading hate at all, I instructed him to spread his damage around and to use overpower more often and by the end he was pretty competent, even asked us to tell him if we was doing badly.
Then we had a lancer who ran ahead of everyone and didn't listen when asked not to, kept killing the bombs in the slime boss in Copperbell etc. We even let him die a few times but that didn't seem to matter much to him.

Experienced a weird bug in Coil2 last night -- Our scholar suddenly stopped being able to cast spells on us and vice versa. When we tried, we got an error message citing 'Aetherial Interference' as the reason why we couldn't

Exiting and re-entering worked, but seriously, :wtf:.

I was doing Leviathan Ex and the other healer said he got a bug where he couldn't target anyone unless he was right next to them.

I guess you mean Briny Veil, didn't realize that affected range, thought it just made you take more damage.

So is there a list of Hunt linkshells anywhere? I kept hearing about the Monster Hunter one but no idea who runs it.

There's at least Mike Hunts and I also made one called Goon Will Hunting, just shout in the FC chat and I'm sure either one can pick you up.

You can make personal rooms look pretty sweet. They're not that big but you get a really nice amount of items to work with for the space.

If furniture didn't cost hundreds of thousands of gil just for a single rug, sure. I had 300k saved for furniture and I managed to make it look decent enough but I can't have anything fancy.

If you have to run, run toward the tank so he an get aggro back easily instead of running after you.

I definitely wouldn't have played this game for so long if I wasn't in the goon guild, even if you don't actively group up with anyone just having people to chat with is great.

Just finished a Tam-Tara where the level 18 newbie Arcanist (no other classes leveled at all) was using the Carbuncle to go behind the casters and pushed them into melee range for me as a tank. I've never seen anyone do that and I sure as hell didn't think to do it when I was playing ANC.

I do wonder how they'll keep all the current level 50 content relevant when the expansion hits and the level cap goes up.

Maybe they will do something crazy and original and not increase the level cap instead.

Someone had posted a while back macros for auto-marking targets, anyone still have that?

From FFGoons:

quote:

/tenemy (note: this targets the nearest enemy)
/mk attack1 <t>
/ac "Target Forward"
/mk attack2 <t>
(Repeat Target Forward for attack3 and attack4 as needed)
/target <attack1>

Keep in mind if there are two enemies and you do a macro to mark 3, #3 will overwrite #1 and you end up with #2 and #3. I personally have one macro for marking two enemies and one for three.

It seems like it would have been more thematic if Dragoon was going to be released in the expansion.

I wonder if they'll get a power up or something.

There might be a new job that builds from Lancer, but I can't think of anything more thematic though unless they make a new one and don't just use existing FF jobs.

A few pages ago it was said that you would just "get access to" DRK for buying the expansion, I would like to think this means that you would have to have a character created already and you would get the job crystal added to your inventory/mailed to you, so it could still possibly start at level 1. And if not you would have at least one other class at lvl 1 to railroad you trough the story/quests if you get lost.

Had the worst run of Pharos Sirus I've ever seen. Bad PLD tank was pulling mobs with Provoke among other things. We wiped enough that after finally getting to the final boss and one attempt later all my gear broke and the tank DC'd. I put on some random stuff I had lying around in an attempt to get us trough the boss:



That's a level 30 weapon :(
If the new tank hadn't been really highly geared WAR we probably wouldn't have made it. I have never used the fairy abilities more in my entire play time.
