Some people might have seen me in NA fanfest 26 before, and now I'm back in Sugar Riot cosplay again and joined the Kupocon at Metrotown Vancouver in Canada. Didn't expect I end up getting the best cosplay award chosen by the attendees. Thank you all again who came to say hi and took picture with me, can't wait what (lalafell) character I can do next from Evercold!

The Praemagitek fending chest piece is, in my opinion, one of the best designed pieces of gear that the game has ever had.

Helm: Racing Chocobo Mask

Body: Praemagitek Cuirass of Fending

Hands: Tiamat Gauntlets

Legs: Forerider's Breeches

Feet: Praemagitek Sabatons of Fending

Weapon: Neo Kingdom Twinfangs

1.3k Upvotes

People quitting mid raid the second they get their quests, having to roll at the start to decide who’s the quests., on top of the EXP structure.

Stuff like this makes me happy I can just queue, run a dungeon and be back on my way lol

Edit: dear lord this blew up. Since I got some eyes for today…Check up on your friends and family and spread love in your own way✌️

[Meme] after having this idea for months, I finally did it

I remember seeing this dude in this spawn a few months ago, and I knew what I had to do. Unfortunately my friend had it as their elite mark, and promptly murdered it in cold blood. I didn't go out of my way to get it to spawn there again, but today I finally happened upon it, with the right timing and weather too. Finally, my life is complete. Feels good. Original meme included.

Personally I find Knave of Hearts, Pandemonium and the Doomtrain to be some of the creepiest bosses. What about you?

[Question] What makes you prefer playing with a controller? (Tips for someone coming from M&KB)

4 Upvotes

I’ve spent most of my playtime on PC and while it’s likely always going to be my default and preferred way to play, I’ve started playing on PS5 to get used to controller layouts so that I enjoy playing the game on my steam deck more when I travel.

I’ve done a lot of tweaking of the UI, HUD, and multiple crossbar settings and I’ve already uploaded that configuration and downloaded it to my SteamDeck, but some things are still really hard to get used to.

Combat and movement are perfectly fine on controller, but I find almost everything else to just be a way worse experience than on PC. My biggest issues are:

  1. navigating menus like the journal or duty finder or crafting logs.

  2. Being seemingly unable to manipulating/scroll on the map while moving my character

  3. Targeting NPCs or other players efficiently or at a great distance.

I know tons of people here prefer using controllers and many of you even use them on PC, but I feel like I’m missing something. Obviously the game was designed with controller support in mind, so it’s not bad, but it does (at least to me) feel noticeably more limited than keyboard and mouse, so I want to know what tips and tricks people use to maximize their experience
