For all the complaining about Elmo I heard, FoA was the one part of P3 that was no problem at all. Everyone just stands on the marker for it and nothing ever went wrong. Then it falls apart at Darkfire Twister...
When I saw that PF on Darkfire Twister was having melees and tanks go the same way I knew that fight was gonna be a nightmare

One shotted our P1-3 reclears tonight for the first time. That felt so good after so much time struggling on 3. I think 4 is a pretty long ways off for us, but at least we've got that bird off our back.

I'm in the same boat as you. My static crushed P1-3S but we're stuck in Pinax hell

Yes, that was extraordinarily common. I think in all my reclears on Primal only like 1, maybe 2, groups did TR and HM.

Basically all of my reclear groups did TR and HM. That seemed to be the common strat on Primal from what i experienced by far. Also never had a problem with Elmo. Elmo was easy.

The big thing that killed p3s groups, for me at least, was spreads. That was by far the biggest PF killer because there never seem to be any consistent spread spots (or people had different ideas where they were supposed to go from group to group). I think the reason why that was such a big issue was that for spreads you can both be facing away from the boss while spreading out and facing towards the boss and spreading out. That is the thing that fucked a lot of PF up, though thats obviously jsut a guess

Am I crazy, or does anyone else lose attunement from crystals?

I swear to God I attuned to a place. And I try warping back, and it tells me unattuned.

Happened to me about 3 times so far. Not sure if I'm going crazy, or I legit forget to do it lol.

Yeah. Those suck. I completely disengage and focus on clearing the mechanic. I was watching a video and they said something that I hadn't see any other video say. The planet with the faster ring is the one that goes off first. I had never noticed that and no other guide that I had seen mentioned that. That makes it easier to figure out what's going off when.

Yeah, it wasn't until this last group I was in that someone pointed that out. Definitely helps!

50 runs of that shit and I never noticed this. In the end I just ended up paying attention to how fast they form.

Yeah, someone mentioned it in one of the parties I was working on my clear in, and it basically made double planets a complete cakewalk to me after that. Blue -> Red definitely messes with my static group though, the angling of how to knock yourself to a safe spot for the first red they don't quite have yet

See, I always knew the planet ring thing. It's just... hard for me to quickly tell which is actually faster, lol. I get very disoriented whenever that attack happens.

Good luck to all of you who entered this round of the housing lottery!
I'm entry number 40 for the last Ishgard house on my server on the first day of this lottery opening, I haven't checked the number since so I don't lose even more hope. I'm gonna be on so much copium when results begin...

P3S party finder was such a meme, truly the stuff of legend.

I'm in the same boat as you. My static crushed P1-3S but we're stuck in Pinax hell

My static has done two nights of P4S and we're pretty confident we'll be starting Phase 2 next time we go in. Only one video I watched mentioned it, but realizing the boss always faces North while casting Directional Shift during Pinax really solved that mechanic for myself and a lot of my static.

honestly I use marker colors myself, pf and my former static use standerd marker format, so red is north, yellow east, blue south, and purple west.

The mnemonic for remembering the directions there is the best duty of all time- Cape Westwind. The cape always points west.

Perfected Act 4 and Finale was as easy as expected. Excited for Curtain Fall/clear groups. So close to beating this damn thing and before echo is released.

When I saw that PF on Darkfire Twister was having melees and tanks go the same way I knew that fight was gonna be a nightmare

In most PF strats has T/R left(while facing twister). Last time I recleared the T//M left was in the macro but we ignored it and did the usual strat thankfully.

extremely concerned that fem Hroths are just gonna be femRoes with Miqo'te ears. square pls. give me BIG BUFF CAT LADIES. be brave and don't give them boobs.

they're definitely going to be based on female roe, just as hrothgar are based on male roe.

questions are: will they be hunched over? and how beastly will their faces be?

I like the housing lottery system but imbalance between personal and FC houses is the issue. Should be 50/50.

And then make it where only FC creator/leader can buy an FC house to reduce multiple FC lottery entries.

I think the logic being employed there is that if you have a massive FC with like a hundred members you should probably have a better chance at winning a plot than an FC with 4 people. I don't think its that unreasonable that populated, active FCs should have a better chance at the housing experience.

And this is coming from someone who leads a dinky little FC with like 5-ish active members.

it's not permanent. because of how many times housing has been turned off and the fights to get whatever plots exist, FCs have a huge backlog in terms of houses. and housing content is more important for FCs, and groups of people.

the wards will be changed, as SE said, but first FCs need to actually have a chance of getting a house and that will take many cycles. this is also not the first time, i think they've made wards more than once be FC only at the start when they released new wards.

I'm curious, is there any point to keep my Astronomy tomestones near 2k until they eventually release better gear than 590? Or should I just spend those to gear my alt jobs?

Spend them to gear your alt jobs. Do hunts and/or raid to upgrade them to i600. You can probably get 2-3 gear sets at i598 (unless you're doing P4S and can get an i600-605 weapon) before the next patch. At 6.2, they will become the next mid-tier currency and you'll have a new currency.

the faster you spend it, the more value you get out of it. when new gear comes out, new crafted gear and normal raid gear also comes out, so astro gear won't be worth anything.

I fully expect them to be the same thing we saw in the Bozja art - "normal" looking ladies, maybe with body fur but not as beastly faces as the men, and just more prominent cat ears than Miqo. Which will be disappointing because having a bigger female body type might have been enough to get me to actually use the free ARR fantasia.
