Huh. I thought it was coming with the Crystal Tower raid? Is that not 2.1?

Eh? When did this happen? Last I read it was part of the first major content update
I did but it's not very clear.

All I can see is 7+ million gil.
This was always the case. 2.1 has FC Housing only.

Player housing 5 months away then? Yikes that's going to be a killer for my GF. Don't know if she will be able to hold on that long as it was a major bonus for her. Next update is sounding like balls now.
L1 / R1 targeting? Could you explain?
I hate SMN pets getting in the way of targeting stuff during FATEs. Haven't found a way to get around this, yet.

No need to bite my head off, just letting you know.

Sorry, not biting head off, just stating our disappointment. It was her big excitement especially and with endgame being so awful in this game, it really is going to be hard to see either of us lasting that long in the game. The previews we keep looking up didn't state FC housing was coming first, they talked like it was coming in the first update. Still not seeing anywhere stating FC is first, but whatever I assume ppl here are more informed from the forums or whatever than these crappy previews.

They've always said FC housing was coming first and player housing was coming later. Ever since housing was first announced they've said this.
If you haven't been following the game until recently, I could see you getting that impression.
If you want a house, just form your own FC and then buy one. Shouldn't be hard to find 3 other people to help you form a free company.

That's awesome!!! I hope to see one in game one if these days. Good to know they exist.

It will probably work too, as long as they don't institute a Rank requirement for purchasing a house.

lol, they are closing Turn 5 of Coil until next week to fix that issue. xD

While your cross hot bar is active (either meaning you are holding down L2 or R2, or you have it toggled on with mixed or toggle mode) you can change the enemy you have selected by pressing L1 and R1.
It works great in FATEs, when the target you want to select isn't that important, but it can take some getting used to when you want to select a specific enemy.

elusive jump?
Clever Pun

I would guess that's referring to the fact that you can't jump while your cross hot bar is toggled on? Not sure, though!

Nah, worse has happened in other games and anyone with sense won't throw a snitfit over one boss needing a quick fix. If anything I think most people I know will appreciate a break from her for a week
I must be doing it wrong
right
Thanks for the info. Will give it a try the next time I'm online and see if I can find a use for this method.
I am a gamepad player;. I can't stand palying KBM except for Strategy/RTS games, everything else... Gamepad for me. Hell, I am so into this game because I can play it on gamepad without being hindered. I still keep my keyboard to type and chat, while sometimes I use my mouse to focus on enemies faster when there's a lot of people, but otherwise I don't feel hindered or with problems. I love leaning back in my comfy couch (hah!) and playing this beautiful game in my home theater. Gamepad for the win!

BTW pet positioning with a controller is also a big no
it's more that if you're using a controller you can't do an instant 180 degree turn and activate it to move you forward
depends on the fight really but you want 3 greased up, twin snakes, true strike, dragon kick, mark of death, and demolition up all the time.
some replace true strike with fracture and dots are replace with [the rock toss aoe] for trash mobs
there's still no set "rotation" per say but know where you need to stand and what buffs each moves gives you should be 90% of it
They'll leave because they can't exploit? I'm sure SE could literally not care any less if they quit.
theSlacker

You can not do an instant precise camera control with the contoler, meaning you can't use the skill in it's most effective way. As a means of exact and fast positioning.
This. Except not only forward. It is a skill that you can use to jump anywhere, unlike the targeted once, but you need to be able to rotate your character fast enough for it to be effectively used that way, since the jump is always backwards.

Why not? If you're using legacy controls you can immediately change the direction your character is facing.

I'm confused. Why can't you do an instant 180 degree turn on the controller?
Are you talking character or camera?
If you don't use legacy controls on a gamepad then you're doing it wrong.

double post
Not because they can't exploit, because now they have nothing to do for a week, can't even attempt.
Seems strange to me. It seems pretty clear that SE tuned turn 5 to be uncompletable for the moment, so why would people be upset that they can't continually wipe for hours? I guess some people still have hope that they'll be able to do it.
Yikes.
Ya I mean. Nothing makes hardcore raiders want to play more than telling them you probably can't beat something yet. Some people have gotten pretty close, and they are all still getting gear upgrades from coil + myth cap.
theSlacker

Its more about the precision. To use it as movement skill and not just placement you need to have exact precision to where you are trying to go, while in a normal jump so you don't lose time when you could be heading in your desired direction, and being able to rotate right back the other way right on landing to continue movement without any stopping or moving back in the wrong direction.

We had a bard with a post-it note on the hp bar call it out.
That's exactly what we did.
Although I've been working on another solution that I'll hopefully have ready before we go in again.

What situations do you use this in?
We just go all out DPS the entire fight. Much easier that way.

Nobody is going to quick because they closed an exploit.
It's not like anybody could farm that boss --or even kill it once-- anyway.
You thought server lag played a part in Titan pools, just wait until you experience those tornado things. The inconsistency with those things is making it impossible to progress through the fight.

Agreed, it is super easy to guess when the split will be, but there isn't much reason to hold back DPS.
Hell, we don't feed either snake after the split, we just DPS race the fight at that point.
The reason to hold back DPS is so the split occurs with no stacks. I mean, I guess it's our gear, but if we didn't do that I don't think we could possibly win. It already gets completely insane near the end damage-wise building from zero stacks after the split.
A good reason they split BC into different reasons. Would have sucked if they brought it all down.
Yep.
When they have vanity slots, I will wear these only. I got 4 parts in two runs. I'm very lucky.
Not going to bother with the arms and legs. Maybe when I level up another mage. The stats are really good for the level, but I care more about how awesome they look.

Do you have a scholar on your team?
Originally we had 2 WHM and it was tough to keep the tanks up, once we got a SCH and a WHM things got much easier.

I mean, I'm still kinda confused as to why the controller is not as precise. I'm not a DRG so I don't know the specifics but is the jump based on your character positioning or the camera positioning?
Gamepad players can do a 180 turn just as easily as anyone else.
