[haughty basin]

The launcher updated and some friends on PS5 were able to update

Ahh ok

Cause it was only like 4000mb haha

[cursive ridge]

should be 10.3 gb

[sick basin]

You have to restart the launcher again to get the full update

For some reason

[haughty basin]

Oh weird ok I'll try that

[umbral dune]

that was 2.0 update, 6.0 will be 6gb more

[cursive ridge]

the XIVLauncher updates fully right away

[sick basin]

Also time zones confuse and frighten me, does early access start in 3.5 hours?

[queen fern]

Yes.

[flint pollen]

yes

[queen fern]

9 AM GMT or 4 am EST.

[sick basin]

Thank 🙏

So

[haughty basin]

Updated the launcher, this is all I get when trying to "login" to see if I get a 10gb update

[dire prawn]

Correct me if I'm wrong

[outer mural]

if there's no update attempt to restart your PC

if there already is an update you've downloaded you're good

[dire prawn]

But currently Kaeshi: Higanbana doesn't have an increased DoT potency right?

[outer mural]

it does

Endwalker FAQ things

Do I get the other expansions in Early Access?
Historically yes, but no definite answer.

I can't put in my codes/I don't have my codes/I'm panicking
Wait for maintenance to be over please.

When can we download?
The full download is now available from the official launcher. If you encounter launcher issues, see !faq patchfix.

They nerfed my jobs!!
They've only been talking about the stat squish for the past few months. Everything has changed.

[outer mural]

it's just the same as a kaiten'd regular higanbana

so 50% more

[dire prawn]

I thought Kaeshi: Higanbana only affected the initial hit and not the DoT

[haughty basin]

I'll try this thank you!

[slate arrow]

It's always affected the DOT

[slate arrow]

oh you mean the ability version

[dire prawn]

That's the new stuff not the soon to be old stuff

[slate arrow]

yeah it's just the kaiten version

Oh

[outer mural]

always check your tooltips

[dire prawn]

I thought Higanbana's DoT was 60 not 40

[honest anvil]

is kupo bot updated? with skills

[jade quartz]

No

[dire prawn]

Still no reason to use Kaeshi: Higanbana in EW then

[modern bison]

Its definitely not updated with the new pots

[cursive ridge]

[lime pendant]

at what time does the endwalker early realease open in mst?

[dire prawn]

It ends 1 AM PST so 2 AM MST

[lime pendant]

awesome ty!

[dire prawn]

For me it ends at 11 pm

[cursive ridge]

using kaeshi higanbana is 125 more potency than using kaeshi setsugekka, assuming full 60s duration

from old numbers

[dire prawn]

The issue though is it overwrites Higanbana

[slate arrow]

#archived-melee-lounge

[cursive ridge]

and it's 70 more potency in new numbers

[outer mural]

it probably never will be used

the circumstnace in which you have to use kaeshi: higanbana is only when it's way way way way better than kaeshi: setsugekka

[slate arrow]

#archived-melee-lounge

[outer mural]

right sorry

is there any patch after the second half? or are we good up until launch

[dire prawn]

We should be good now

Shouldn't be a third patch for PC

[cursive ridge]

dots and hots cant crit/direct hit, right?

[faint flare]

They can crit

But not dh

Dot critting was a big thing for stormblood bard

It's how they got their procs

[cursive ridge]

hm, when they crit, only 1 tick crits?

[faint flare]

Yes

It's per tick

[spice kraken]

how long does it usually take for a patch to launch?

like 6.1

[slate arrow]

6.1 will be approximately be sometime during the spring

No dates tho

[faint flare]

Major patches are usually 3-4months ish

On average

Baring no delays

[leaden ginkgo]

Did the early access release already?

[faint flare]

Download Is up

[leaden ginkgo]

ahh sweet!

[faint flare]

i do not blame you lmao

[faint flare]

Welcome to my life

we're all losing our minds

[last dock]

How much longer until the Sharlayan invasion?

[outer mural]

slight aside people have been going nuts over bard's 80% chanc to proc reperotorie with no elaboration in other servers

we don't know for sure right

no JP translation that clarifies it or anything?

[neon egret]

There's been about 10 gb to download so far?

[cursive ridge]

the job gauge description says it procs on its own during singing

[faint flare]

People are assuming it's on server ticks now

[slate arrow]

just .... @ me if there problems I'm going to cry now

[faint flare]

Instead of dot ticks

[outer mural]

around 10 gb yeah

i'm personally hoping it's GCD

[outer mural]

oh does it?

[slate arrow]

try and keep chatter and speculation to a minimum

[cursive ridge]

yes, read the song gauge description

[faint flare]

Also means no more double procs

[slate arrow]

use the role lounges

[outer mural]

i see

[north kernel]

Just wanting to mention to at least ps4 peeps, I'm now able to download an update through "check for update." I'm NA east

[faint flare]

Download is up for everyone

[cursive ridge]

my Bard is still baby levels, are songs 100% uptime? from reading the tooltips it even seems like they overlap

[faint flare]

Yes

[slate arrow]

they might be but please wait until EW is out before we get to rotation advice

[faint flare]

45+45+45 is 135

[north kernel]

They do, it's so that you can transfer to a higher priority song or stay on a priority song longer

[remote lintel]

wait you can mute in seconds thats amazing

[spice kraken]

im not american, when is spring?

[slate arrow]

Late February minimum

likely sometime during early April

[pallid hearth]

When is a good time to buy Fantasia? I mean its on maintenance now right? Should I buy it after the server is back online to prevent unfortunate events?

I have the early access btw

[slate arrow]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'd recommend anytime after maint but there may be login issues because you have to log into your character twice minimum

Once to use it, and then another time to customize, and then to actually log in again

[dire prawn]

I would definitely not buy a Fantasia right now because the queue sizes are going to be absolutely insane

[pallid hearth]

Mmmkay, buy it after the server is back online and then have to do multiple login again lol

[outer plank]

Mog station might be flooded with requests

[umbral dune]

the store is on maint so you cant even buy

[hot eagle]

also deliveries of items can be slower as usual since the server will be busy

[dire prawn]

That too

[outer plank]

So try later

[dire prawn]

And also that

[pallid hearth]

Yeah, my mistake on not buying it earlier 🥲

Okay I'll try buying it later after mt. Thanks!

[muted rover]

wait i heard u need to type in two codes, one to get those ingame goodies and one to get early access but i know i checked yesturday and i alrdy have access from one code is that corrent?

[umbral dune]

mog has a whole new UI?

[jade quartz]

ye

[faint flare]

The other is sent later

[thorn ridge]

if u have early access u have the items

[outer plank]

I mean there’s no harm trying it, I’m just saying on popular patch days and especially expansion releases, it takes awhile for people to get there mog station purchase

But that might be more of a mount thing

[patent fog]

did they fix the god awful ui or is it a different shade of the same pain

[jade quartz]

Early Access code gives you the earring and minion.

[outer plank]

Lower costs items seemed to be processed faster

[muted rover]

so this code is dfifferent how?

and when sent?

[jade quartz]

Gives you access to the game once EA is over

sent later.

A few days.

[umbral dune]

function the same but with more illustrated image

[jade quartz]

The UI is more user-friendly now

Sub payment options big and at the top now

[patent fog]

so like u get access now but w/ the preordercode but you lose it if you dont redeem the other one after EA?

thats janky

[jade quartz]

Yes

[muted rover]

wait the code is sent a few days after the first one for early access and not sent tonight?

[jade quartz]

yeah it'll be later on

can't say exactly when

[muted rover]

by email?

[jade quartz]

yep

[thorn ridge]

will be sent on 7th have till 10th to put them in

[faint flare]

They make a lodestone post about it

[muted rover]

oh ok so the code i have now on modstation is just early access while another code is sent for dec 7th

[dire prawn]

And once you get that code you have three days to enter it

[muted rover]

i see the email now lol was about to get worried

[pallid hearth]

If I already received the Menphina's earring, it means I already can enter early access right?

[slate arrow]

yes

[dire prawn]

Yes

[flint pollen]

dont you have to enter the code before you play when you are going onto endwalker ???

[slate arrow]

no you can skip the early access code if you want to

[muted rover]

what about playstaion

[slate arrow]

you just won't have access to EW until you get the full code

PlayStation is automatic

[thorn ridge]

^

[slate arrow]

Just gotta log in and it'll do everything for you

[dire prawn]

PlayStation automatically keeps Endwalker access PC users are the ones who have a second code to enter once Endwalker officially releases

Will i be able to access early access without a FFXIV subscription? since i ended my sub a few days ago/

[slate arrow]

no

[faint flare]

Can't even login normally without it

[dry pewter]

Hi guys, i ran into a problem in FF last night where every time I logged in my UI would reset. How would i fix this? I know its a onedrive issue.

[cosmic juniper]

Oh man did I miss the moogle treasure trove event?

[faint flare]

It's gone yes

[cosmic juniper]

I thought it started when Endwalker released

Fuckkk

[faint flare]

It ended

When it released

[cosmic juniper]

I missed the inferno jacket

I’ll never get it now ugh

I thought it ended when Endwalker released *

So thought I had a few days

[fresh viper]

well old event items tend to show up on the cash shop

[faint flare]

It ends on 6.0

Which is now

[fresh viper]

or rarely in event rerun

[faint flare]

This is 6.0

This is endwalker launch for all intents and purposes

[cosmic juniper]

Dang looks like I waited too long

So inferno jacket gone for good I’m assuming

[faint flare]

It might come back for another moogle tome

[fresh viper]

wait for it to show up on the shop or a rerun

[faint flare]

There's not much prescience for moogle tome stuff

[night sable]

game will be up in 3hrs?

[faint flare]

Since it hasn't ran that many times

[cosmic juniper]

You think it’ll be in the cash shop?

[fresh viper]

most old event items end up that way yea

[cosmic juniper]

Idk I never played before the other treasure trove event. If there was one in the past what was the exclusive for that?

[unborn fern]

when does maintenance end

[faint flare]

There's always been exclusive stuff for moogle tomes

None have come back so far iirc

Usually earrings or a necklace glamour

[cosmic juniper]

So the exclusive stuff that was in the past trove event never returned in this recent one?

[proud seal]

I cant figure out how to purchase ffxiv starter edition. This is brutal. I am logged into an account that I bought it on PS4 for. Can I not buy it till the 7th? I dont care about the expansion.

[heavy mica]

maint ends in 2 hours 40 minutes

[proud seal]

Been trying to figure it out for 2 hours now. RIP

[jade quartz]

Moogle Tome exclusive items have yet to return after their initial event was over, but it could happen

[jade quartz]

You mean you already own it on playstation but want to buy it on PC?

[proud seal]

Correct I believe all my chars were on PS4/PS5 (which I sold)

[jade quartz]

You need to buy FFXIV from either the Square Enix Store, Steam, or a third party retailer like Newegg or GMG

It's not directly buyable on the Mog Station.

[cosmic juniper]

Dang well I have a big fomo issue

[proud seal]

My steam key keeps saying its already registered. Already tried 3 different square accounts ive had and no luck. I think I just found the link on square store.

[jade quartz]

Then register the registration code you get from your purchase on the Mog Station.

[cosmic juniper]

I’m probably not even gonna play now ugh I hate myself sometimes

[proud seal]

Ill try that thanks

Whats crazy is I have 2 accounts from 2013-2014 but cant figure out why I gotta re buy.. probably because it was before ffxiv for revamped I guess.

[jade quartz]

You can check which platforms are registered to your account on the Mog Station -> Service Account Status

[proud seal]

Hmm ok thanks

[jade quartz]

The "buy" link for PC is an external link to the Square Enix store

(which has a different account system from Mog Station btw)

[proud seal]

I just linked it but where do I download it from?

[jade quartz]

!faq download

[zinc orbit]

Download FFXIV

https://www.finalfantasyxiv.com/playersdownload/na/

[proud seal]

They really make this kind of confusing not gonna lie. Never had this much trouble trying to figure out how to purchase and download a game.

[jade quartz]

You're right

it's a pain, we've just learned how to deal with it

[leaden ginkgo]

Weak

[fallen niche]

So with early access in 4 hours, will I be able to use my collector's edition code or will I need to wait until the true release date?

[jade quartz]

You'll have to wait until a later point.

Early Access is in 2hrs 30mins btw

[cold river]

Are the old housing areas getting expanded?

[jade quartz]

Not at this time

More wards may be added in future

[cold river]

kk thank you

[jade quartz]

No plans to actually make the maps themselves larger

[fallen niche]

So I won't be able to get my mount, scythe and minion until some later point?

[proud seal]

Thanks you were more help then google was. Appreciate it. Updating it now

[jade quartz]

👍

[jade quartz]

that's right

got to wait a few days, might be until the 7th

[fallen niche]

Damn.

[proud seal]

Is it too late to pre order endwalker and get an early access key? Just curious not like I can benefit from that since I am not max level or anywhere close.

[faint flare]

No

[sick flint]

When I redeemed my endwalker preorder bonus code (the stuff with the earrings) did that include the whole game too?

[faint flare]

It includes endwalker access yes

[sick flint]

Cool, and I own the expansion after early access regularly?

[fresh lodge]

You'll receive the full game code at a later point, but you can play EW as soon as servers are up

[sick flint]

Oh I see. thanks

I bought my key from a key seller and wondered why I didn’t get a code today

[hardy adder]

Hello guys, so I have the starter edition and I pre-ordered Endwalker in steam and wonder if I will get Stormblood and Shadowbringers in the Early access

[slim lion]

Ugh I am just waiting for this pre-download paciently

[solemn jewel]

No clear answer anywhere

[proud seal]

I let the hype get me. I havent played this game in years 😦 bought all of em.

[slim lion]

Oof

When does usually pre-download start?

[dire prawn]

What are Ifrit and Titan and Garuda's ultimate attacks that SMN's 90 ability is going to be using?

[dire prawn]

Several hours ago

[fathom wasp]

Did the servers come up early last expansion or is it a solid 1AM PST

[proud seal]

I just bought endwalker pre-order and it says my code is invalid.. from square site... OH BOY you have got to be kidding me

[dire prawn]

There's an exactly 0% chance Endwalker will launch early if that's what you're asking

[proud seal]

Is there supposed to be 2 keys sent or something when I buy endwalker? I have an early access key it sent me and it doesnt work?

[faint flare]

Earthen fury and aerial blast

And hellfire

[jade quartz]

EW is confirmed by Yoshida not to launch early.

[solemn jewel]

Enter the code in the pre order item box not the game code box

Game code releases on the 7th

[dire prawn]

This is what they use when Ifrit's Infernal Nail is destroyed/Titan's heart is destroyed/Garuda's summons are destroyed right?

[faint flare]

Ye

Their ultimates

[proud seal]

I tried both 😦 "Enter expansion registration code" and "Enter Pre-Order Bonus Code" neither worked

IM AN IDIOT

[faint flare]

You need starter edition as well if you haven't got that

[solemn jewel]

Hmm.
Do u own the game already

[proud seal]

I figured it out 😮

[twilit patrol]

we can't enter normal EW cd keys on mogstation yet till its launched right? only early access ones?

[faint flare]

Yes

[cosmic juniper]

where do i enter my endwalker key from steam,? The mog station i dont see anywhere to enter. I just see where to enter the preorder items code

[slate arrow]

that's the neat part, you can't yet

[faint flare]

You can't enter the second one yet

anything else is extra

I recently learned of subaquatic gil farming and how much they can get from just "solo" content. Is there any way to farm gil as an individual tho or is it locked to only FC leaders basically?

Anything I sell to shop is pitiful in comparison

[outer mural]

locked to FCs only, entirely depends on how the FC conducts it

they could either split hte profits, make it free for all, etc

Free trial: level 1-60 contents (A Realm Reborn + Heavensward) with social and inventory limitations

Starter Edition: A Realm Reborn + Heavensward, this is free trial but no restriction at all. Comes with 30 days gift play time. Require subscription to keep on playing.

Endwalker: the latest expansion covering level 81-90 contents. Getting this will get you the previous expansions: Stormblood (61-70) and Shadowbringers (71-80). Required Starter Edition

Complete Edition: Starter + Endwalker rolled together. Double check to make sure that you didn't get the old complete edition, which is Starter + Shadowbringers

Collector Edition: each expansion has their own digital collector edition, those has some additional vanity stuff. You can use mogstation to upgrade to collector for previous expansions.

@young cloak

Question about Perfect Balance and Formless Fist

Does Bootshine benefit from both its guaranteed crit and the Leaden Fist buff when using either ability or do you still have to use Dragon Kick first for Leaden Fist?

[faint flare]

Still need dk for leaden

[ocean herald]

hello guys, any tips to download patch files without having an error? do i really need vpn?

[warped nest]

I'm told that bootshine and dragon kick no longer has positional

So I assume that it is guranteed crit now

[dire prawn]

You're told partially correct

MNK has two positionals now where it used to have six

[warped nest]

Yeah, twin snake and true strike

Lost positionals too

[dire prawn]

Dragon Kick, Bootshine, Twin Snakes and True Strike lost their positionals

Only Snap Punch and Demolish have theirs now

[zinc orbit]

Endwalker FAQ things

Do I get the other expansions in Early Access?
Historically yes, but no definite answer.

I can't put in my codes/I don't have my codes/I'm panicking
Wait for maintenance to be over please.

When can we download?
The full download is now available from the official launcher. If you encounter launcher issues, see !faq patchfix.

They nerfed my jobs!!
They've only been talking about the stat squish for the past few months. Everything has changed.

[warped nest]

Just off the top of my head, dragon kick should still benefit from formless fist

[dire prawn]

Also they reversed Dragon Kick and Perfect Balance so now when I go use PotD to level PGL/MNK I'll have all six melee weaponskills :D

[warped nest]

Since leaden fist should be a opo Opo form bonus

I haven't gone through all the changes yet

Still need to wrap my head around reaper and sage

[dire prawn]

For PGL/MNK they switched Dragon Kick to being the capstone 50 PGL weaponskill and Perfect Balance is now the capstone 50 MNK ability

[cursive ridge]

the only thing that uses Leaden Fist in the new tooltips is Bootshine

[dire prawn]

I looked at RPR and SGE and they make zero sense to me reading the tooltips

[dire prawn]

They meant that Dragon Kick should grant Leaden Fist when using it during Formless Fist

[warped nest]

I meant dragon kick gives leaden fist if you are in opo Opo form

[cursive ridge]

Dragon Kick grants it, Bootshine uses it

[warped nest]

Therefore it should gain it from formless fist too

Yeah

[warped nest]

Another thing you won't know for sure is what breaks your combo and what doesn't

[willow sandal]

I just realized I saw very few samurais while playing and doing dungeons, why is that?

[warped nest]

Observation bias

Possible explanation: people who played samurai would have max theirs and don't use it to queue duty roulette

Samurai is not one of the lesser played jobs so yeah, observation bias. idk the website but there is a website which tracks which jobs are more/less popular

[cursive ridge]

all jobs are roughly equally played

maybe not in roulettes though, BLM is cancer in roulettes

[leaden ginkgo]

hi guys if i buy endwalker right now will I have acess to the early access of the game?

how long still have for ew?

[solemn jewel]

2 hours

[leaden ginkgo]

oh thx

[steel canopy]

Where are those stats from?

[cursive ridge]

lucky bancho census, global

[jade birch]

As a BLM Main, I hate doing Roulette as BLM aside Expert and 80 cause bruhhh

[pearl wharf]

is there a time limit to when you can access "early access" when pre-ordering it?
my friend said he bought it earlier this week but his launcher hasnt updated with the second patch

[umbral dune]

has he register the early adopter bonus code?

[hybrid birch]

If someone switched their subscription plan to "entry" but they already have multiple characters in one server, will they have freedom to chose the 1 character to enter or it will be fixed to the oldest?

[slate arrow]

fixed to the topmost one on the character list

[hybrid birch]

Okey thanks

[supple narwhal]

when can you enter collecter key?

[solemn jewel]

7th of December

[tribal belfry]

Hello people, im new to FF14 (started really to play last weekend) and so far im having a blast. My Question is regarding leveling other specs other than the one you complete the story with. How do i go about leveling other Jobs? Do i do Fates, SideQuests, or do i run dungeons? (i only have the base game normie edition, but i will most likely definitve buy endwalker)

oh cool, thank you very much

[valid heron]

What does AF gear set mean?

[warm snow]

Artifact

[cursive ridge]

job gear set

[warm snow]

Job Specific gear

[valid heron]

So like AF5 would be endwalker job gear?

[warm snow]

The number denotes what number it was

[cursive ridge]

i have no idea why people use AF to mean artifact, it makes no sense

[warm snow]

correct

[valid heron]

i see

[warm snow]

another ffxi remnant

[valid heron]

Is AF gear typically good enough going into extremes and such? This is my first expansion launch

[warm snow]

it's the lowest level basic level cap gear

it'll be fine for the 2 launch extremes but you're gonna want to replace it with tome gear asap

[valid heron]

I see, that's with the new tomes correct?

I capped on every tomestone before launch so I have a bunch of poetics (mainly for SGE)

[warm snow]

new tomes, old tomes just go into poetics

[slate arrow]

tome gear will be +10 ilvl while the extreme trial gear will be +20

[warm snow]

and ex gear is only weapon and accessories

[slate arrow]

which is the same as the minimum ilvl needed for the savage raid a month later

[valid heron]

Going into savage it's recommended to get crafted gear, yeah?

[warm snow]

unless you're world's first good, yes

[slate arrow]

down the line, yes

starting off it will be expensive

[warm snow]

actually, do worlds first use crafted for the entire first tier?

[faint flare]

Yes

Abd whatever they loot

[warm snow]

cuz I know for later tiers they use previous bis for the first 2 fights

[slate arrow]

depends on the group

[valid heron]

well I'm in a static that's offering to craft me the gear if I help with mats. I usually ask them questions but I'm the first to wake up lol

[slate arrow]

worlds first definitely, probably also have a crafter on retainer

[faint flare]

They get crafters to make stuff while clearing first two floors

And meld

They'll get pieces inbetween each lockout

[valid heron]

Also another question I wanna ask that I should probably ask my static specifically, is pentamelding really necessary outside of racing?

it seems like it will cost a lot

[warm snow]

more dps is more dps

[faint flare]

It gives leniency in the first week

A tiny bit

[valid heron]

i see

well, i think i'm ready for endwalker. i met my shb goal and am ready for my first expac 😄

[warm snow]

well make sure you've started that 10GB download

[valid heron]

yeah it's done already!

another question i had off the top of my head, i've heard people say pf is much better early in a patch - is it really that noticeable?

[willow sandal]

do we need to enter endwalker code in order to be able to play?

[solemn jewel]

No

U need the early access code to play now

Game code will be entered on December 7th

[willow sandal]

oh

[boreal tree]

Kat, teach me Moon recipes soonTM

[mystic gorge]

Okay I need y'alls elp when the game goes back up

How do I COMPLETELY shut off any and all chat except for Party and FC?

[valid heron]

just make a new tab, that's what i did

[solemn jewel]

Somewhere in the game settings

[mystic gorge]

Okie...

How do I make a new tab?

[willow sandal]

how do you disable mount music?

[jade quartz]

System Config > Sound Settings > untick "enable music while mounted"

[iron spire]

The mog station has been updated since I was last on it, does anyone know where to register the endwalker pre-order code now?

Or is it just not available until after Maintenance?

[frank acorn]

i would assume the latter

[iron spire]

Trying to help a friend register and I can't remember where the original place to do it was at.

Let alone the new site

[frank acorn]

it looks like you can't redeem anything until sometime tomorrow, the 3rd

promising ur friend it's worth it tho we love you join us xoxo

[jade quartz]

May be a few days later.

[iron spire]

Oh nevermind, she had a link on the dashboard I didn't because I already had it registered

So for anyone else who might need it, after you login to the mog station scroll down and you'll see this area and it's located there.

https://i.gyazo.com/3559d3d6a7d56c2e1589d7ef0ecc2dc9.png

It'll be a separate link next to the item code one for anyone who hasn't registered their pre-order code yet.

[verbal rune]

Btw anyone bought from green man gaming?

[vivid summit]

why are vtubers

[undone niche]

Do i have to relaunch everytime to see when server goes live? or does switching between the server status and home tab in the launcher work aswell?

[faint flare]

Works

If I don't have the Bozjan front unlocked or have a group to farm dungeons with. What would the next best leveling farm be for 70-80?

[verbal rune]

Yeah, I was wondering if people got the second code already

[solemn jewel]

Unlocking bozja or getting a group

[grand glade]

i didnt get a 2nd code yet, bought on gmg

[heavy mica]

unlock bozja or get a group

[solemn jewel]

U can run the dungeons with Trusts but they take longer than with normal players

[heavy mica]

that's relaly all you can do

trusts takes really long honestly

[verbal rune]

Gotcha, just checking

[grand glade]

best strat is to dungeon queue and level crafters while waiting

[frank acorn]

if i can't put my code in before release, do i not get the preorder items? 😦

[faint flare]

You have until march

To enter it

[frank acorn]

oh thank goodness ok

[halcyon depot]

Would clearing the stormblood alliance raid even be possible during the launch? I guess I can hope for people queuing for roulette but wouldn't that take a lot of hours.

[boreal aurora]

is it possible maintance ends a bit earlier than planned?

It wont

The download and reinstallment was really fast 😮 like 7 minutes

All ready to go now

[steel canopy]

Possibly, cause roulettes for XP

[old rain]

I’m stuck behind the crystal raid so I can finish shadowbringers 😭

[tardy silo]

for the immerse game pack audio, do I need headphones for it to experience it?

[formal condor]

usually this kind of audio effect can not be apparent with no headphones

[alpine shadow]

yeah, you would need headphones, but earphones should also work, they said.

but if you use speakers, then that is different

[bronze matrix]

So kind of a specific question. Say I'm connected to on windows user account on my PC that has FF14 launched and then switch to a different user account while the game is up. Will the game run normally or will it log me out?

[tulip gale]

Is this just part of the game it’s not some extra thing I need to enable?

[lethal mist]

The "PLAY" button is greyed out. Will it become green or will I need to close and login again?

[olive trellis]

the ffxiv icon on the top right should turn green afaik

[jade quartz]

You can click on the meteor icon to switch to the "status" tab, and then go back to the home tab

[inland scarab]

sorry, a noob discord question: how to see the pinged announcement if it's already buried by alot of posts & when one mistakenly scrolls down to current post, that notification just disappear with no idea how except endlessly scrolling above?

[jade quartz]

that will refresh the launcher without you having to reenter login

[fathom wasp]

I wonder if that lovely Paladin set is just going to be another cape that clips through weapons lol

[leaden ginkgo]

Does staying in NPC Dialogue keep u from being kicked? Asking for my grandma, so she can eat for longer than 30 minutes 👀

[inland scarab]

also, how to configure so that cutscene speech can be toggled to auto-advance or not? i forgot

[leaden ginkgo]

Space button

[outer mural]

to my knowledge no

[inland scarab]

ok

[wispy matrix]

i'm in a stinky situation and I'm not sure what to do
I got locked out of my account because of suspicious activity and I don't- remember the email i used for my account because it's so old, so i can't access the password reset email to unlock my account

does that go away on its own after a bit or what

[inland scarab]

what about my discord question btw?

[leaden ginkgo]

Oh in the top right if ur on desktop

His screen shot

[outer mural]

it's not perfect but it shows every ping in recent history

so you'll find it

[leaden ginkgo]

To the left of the friends icon

[outer mural]

pinged or pinned

[inland scarab]

ah kewl. thx

[outer mural]

pinged is the inbox, pinned is what jay's talking about

[inland scarab]

never noticed that button before... 😅

[outer mural]

me neither until someon pointed it out, it happens to the best of us

cheers

[inland scarab]

cheers as well 😉

oh wow... so many notification i missed apparently, this button really huge help. 😅

would be great if this feature has more noticeable view

[dire prawn]

Do we know yet if Augmented Cryptlurker's is going to be immediately available as the 80 poetics gear or will it be unaugmented

[dense hound]

Augmented will be immediately available

[muted rover]

where is the link for the job changes?

[dense hound]

Which makes my decision to pre-gear reaper with cryptlurker stuff... sad

[cursive ridge]

no

you can upgrade to augmented for 100 poetics per piece

[dense hound]

oh

that makes things much much better

comes out to... minus belts...

a reasonable amount

sick

[cursive ridge]

oops

https://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/jobguide/battle/

[leaden ginkgo]

I know server isnt up but I just wanted to see if there any download after 10GB...so I trying to log in again but it saying ID or Password Incorrect...I got worried and tried in mog station, it worked there...but not working here...Why? Help.

[dire remnant]

Would it be alright to copy the whole game folder from a friend that finished their patch or is it better to just try patch it via the launcher? Mine is stuck at around 10% and says "time remaining: unknown' probably due to the sheer amount of people patching

[halcyon glen]

If the second download refuses to be aknowledged, what can we do?

[gloomy mortar]

Do you have to close and reopen the launcher to see if it's ready to play or do you just leave it open?

[faint flare]

Check the status page

Then go back to refresh

is there a way to update the launcher to check if I can play without closing the whole thing and opening it again?

[halcyon glen]

just this

[jade quartz]

Can usually click into the "status" tab by clicking to meteor icon in the top right, and then click back to the home tab

that should refresh

[valid idol]

will we have to relog on the launcher or will the play button change on its own

[jade quartz]

see above

without doing that, launcher only checks for updates like every 10 minutes or so

[valid idol]

oo

[meager epoch]

gotta love xivlauncher

it checks every 15 secs

[cold river]

The quest for Ishgard housing is in foundation and not ishgard its self right?

[boreal aurora]

@meager epoch it works u sure?

[cursive ridge]

ishgard housing is not in 6.0

[meager epoch]

well, its the first time I'm trying it, anyway. It's supposed to check every 15 seconds

[round tiger]

how u get new launcher?>

[jade quartz]

xivlauncher is a 3rd party program

[meager epoch]

its a third party tool, technically against TOS

caveat emptor

[faint flare]

!faq quicklauncher

[zinc orbit]

Try this alternative 3rd party launcher

[willow sandal]

how do you make it check automatically?

[alpine shadow]

it does so automatically

[meager epoch]

like all the other third party tools, you officially shouldn't, but you shouldn't have a problem if you aren't dumb about it

[jade quartz]

click the 🔄 button

[willow sandal]

oh I am blind

[meager epoch]

like, ACT is only a problem if you like, tell someone in public chat that their parses suck, or do something that links back to your account in some way

[jade quartz]

xivlauncher is widely used, but of course use at own risk etc.

[meager epoch]

I just got used to Material UI, now I have to use stock until it gets updated

[round tiger]

i need act to make it work?

[jade quartz]

no

[boreal aurora]

how do u make it check all the time?

[meager epoch]

it's not just a launcher, it has some awesome plugins, too

[jade quartz]

with the 🔄 button

[cursive ridge]

plugins will not work the first few hours/days

[meager epoch]

I love Good Memory, it puts a note in tooltips if you have a mount/minion/orchestrion roll already

[boreal aurora]

kk

[round tiger]

so i just download it and paste to ff folder?

[meager epoch]

yeah, right now, its just base launcher

xivlauncher, act, and UI mods are all going to take at least a few days, if not weeks, to update. Material UI says they may have something working on the 4th, but it will be a month or so until a full official release

[cold river]

So houses in ishgard are not available at patch release?

[cursive ridge]

no

[jade quartz]

nope

6.1

[tall mountain]

correct

[cold river]

kk ty

[meager epoch]

not until 6.1

[cursive ridge]

developers want you to play the story, not camp the houses

[tall mountain]

you can visit ward 1

[meager epoch]

you can GO to Empyreum and look at plots

[tall mountain]

but no buying

[meager epoch]

but you can't interact with them

they did the same thing with Shirogane

[leaden ginkgo]

For those using XIVLauncher and chose "Wait for maintnence to be over"

does it auto launch once maintenance is over?

Quick question, bought the game, havent inputted the game code yet. I cant find where to put the recruitment code

Is it after i click transfer to full game?

[round tiger]

but 6.1 will not let u relocate anymore right? they mention it will be lotery

[boreal aurora]

mine says chrcking server...

[alpine shadow]

yes

[meager epoch]

they said there are going to be some plots the old way, and some via lottery

[obsidian patio]

Relocating still works for lottery

[cursive ridge]

relocation will use the same system as buying a house, no longer has an advantage

[obsidian patio]

^

[round tiger]

oh

[tall mountain]

as of right now, relocating no longer skips hidden timers, but you can still relocate

[cursive ridge]

! my launcher just beeped

you’re just subject to the same rules as someone buying a house

gg SE aint better than all other cant play at rls is normal

You need to buy the game to enter it

the base game comes with free 30 days, during those days, it does not ask for recruitment code. only if you decide to pay for the gametime

If I am leveling up one of the new jobs, and I haven't finished the previous expansion post launch MSQ quests, are they going to provide good exp and be worth doing while leveling?

[faint flare]

Post patch quests give tiny xp

[boreal aurora]

guess is shouldnt tried 3rd party launcher missed the oportunity to get in queue cuz it gave me a errror

[marsh aurora]

Can you wear helmets as a bunny boy? Or will ur ears pop out lol

[meager epoch]

for the record, XIVLauncher plays a short fanfare, then pops up the OTP prompt if you have it set

[coral sequoia]

Thought that might be the case ... do I have to finish them to do the expansion stuff I am guessing? I did like ... part of them but not most of them

[faint flare]

Yes

Story is linear

[fringe reef]

how many people can be logged in into a server at maximum?

[verbal totem]

depened on servers

[fringe reef]

give an example than

[wild crypt]

Depends on each datasenter/sever, instances can be created too.

[coral sequoia]

@faint flare Thought so .. this is the first time I didn't complete them before an expansion so I wasn't sure. I guess this means I might struggle a bit since someone said some of the 24 man stuff is required for MSQ D:

[verbal totem]

for example EU has not much ppl than NA or Japan

i am on eue chaos-> spriggan

eu*

[faint flare]

Last number they had when upgrading servers was like 17000

[fringe reef]

can you give numbers?

[faint flare]

But it's gone up since

[fringe reef]

ah

[wild crypt]

I don't think we know "how many", but yeah NA servers are way bigger.

[opaque fiber]

Same, I hope it wont be too congested

Still stuck on checking ffxiv oof

[boreal aurora]

now it says checking vetsions... forever

[verbal totem]

i am on steam i am on 1.5k queue now

[opaque fiber]

Hmm cerberus is around the same

[coral sequoia]

I miss when Zalera was a low population server for NA ... even pre-WoW migration it had already randomly jumped in population. But I joined at a 1.7k Queue .. when it used to be a server with no queue ever or under 100 even on big patch days

[opaque fiber]

Only if the launcher would let me go in..

[boreal aurora]

should i klick something

[opaque fiber]

My friend said the queue went from 1.9k to 1.6k in 5 minutes

[wild crypt]

I'm downloading the exp through the official client right now~ At least that works lol.

[boreal aurora]

im in 2800 queue now lmao -.-

2800 wow

[opaque fiber]

Have faith! I got in

[leaden ginkgo]

Mine was at that for a while then it went through

[opaque fiber]

Ok my game just crashed nice

[boreal aurora]

how long will 2800 queue take

[left yacht]

Anyone else not able to sign into ffxiv because of the companion app? Its telling me update when there is no update?

[paper lion]

i used xivlauncher and got right in https://github.com/goatcorp/FFXIVQuickLauncher/releases/tag/6.1.0

[runic parrot]

if anything click the green icon then home

[left yacht]

This is the uk btw

[verbal totem]

1300 now 😄

[left yacht]

Anyone know a solution to the app problem?

[mortal void]

why do I get this?

[opaque fiber]

Did it crash after this?

[mortal void]

after I click ok yeah

[opaque fiber]

Same 😦

[outer plank]

should i relog if my character isnt loading? shouldnt be a problem i presume

[opaque fiber]

Dont relog

It's fine I think

[weak sail]

keep getting lobby server issue when i press start

[paper lion]

its fine as long as you dont plan on using a fantasia

[boreal tree]

I get kicked when I launch it; any other work around?

[weak sail]

and have to relaunch the game

[pseudo crescent]

yah i crashed as well

[weak sail]

sucks

[pseudo crescent]

and launcher closed

[boreal tree]

Steam

[wild crypt]

Remember everybody, do a clean start if you had any mods installed too... It should minimize any crashing lol.

[boreal aurora]

how long is 2600 queue gonna take

[midnight thistle]

Maybe it will be an answered several time question, but let me ask:
I've played FF14:ARR (in 2015 and have 150 days of sub on my service account), should I switch to steam version (much better prices for endwalker update and subscription fees) or I shoul buy endwalker at official store and pay sub there. Steam price for sub is 3 times cheaper, "pc-ver" addon cost more than new version on steam with addon.

[olive trellis]

2002 kicking my ass rn, anything that can be done to help it?

[boreal aurora]

its not even a eu time where ppl should play its school/work time...

[verbal totem]

1200 now

[boreal tree]

Anyone else on Steam have a different way to launch?

[boreal aurora]

its gonna be impossible to login at 5pm or so

[open coral]

If you have the PC version already registered to your account, then you can't switch to Steam.

[coral sequoia]

Been almost 10 mins .. and only went from 1.7k to 990

[high rain]

Anyone know how I can use my Fantasia? It prompted me to log in to the queue first but when I logged in, nothing

[leaden ginkgo]

Cannot even connect to data center without getting kicked out ;_;

[open coral]

Unless you don't mind starting over entirely from scratch.

[leaden ginkgo]

i reinstalled for expansion

[wild crypt]

Today is gonna be a pretty...harsh day to play/log for sure.

[leaden ginkgo]

getting the same ;_;

is that why it wont connect

[midnight thistle]

Coz I've played 6years ago, I can start from scratch - better class understanding via leveling and so on...

[wild crypt]

So, you have to use it, and relog. The next time you login with that character, it will ask you to change your appareance.

[opaque fiber]

Ahhh it crashed again

[solid cedar]

Where is my collection? rip aether compass

[verbal totem]

imagine u wait 1 hour to join the u get an error ... 😄

[leaden ginkgo]

i cri. I spent 15 minutes to get the play button and instant dc >.>

[opaque fiber]

Same, but twice

[high rain]

I actually used it before logging off yesterday. When I logged in now, it didn’t prompt

[viscid moth]

I can't use my fantasia because the character doesn't correctly load in the selection, right?

[open coral]

By start from scratch, I mean you'd need to make an entirely new service account. If you don't mind doing that, then there's no reason not to do the Steam version, I guess?

[wild crypt]

That's...interesting. You may wanna take that with Sqex support, open a ticket for them and they can probably sort that out.

[untold cliff]

any info on when the store will come up?

[boreal aurora]

they should added more servers...

[open coral]

They literally couldn't

[leaden ginkgo]

it's just congestion man

don't worry about it

[kind burrow]

Theres shortage in the componenet required to build them

[leaden ginkgo]

just got in

[high rain]

Or probably because when I logged in to the queue, it said could not obtain character data? I probably should have waited

[leaden ginkgo]

after trying 6 times

now 3400 queue

^^

[midnight thistle]

Is there any bonuses for long time sub, If i remember right, there was smth for 150-300 day of sub, of it's not a thing that I should be worry about, than I can start with new service account...

[raw hill]

After the update i only get blackscreen when i start xiv

[kind burrow]

Yeah, a few cosmetics

[raw hill]

and after a short while it says xiv is not responding

is there any fix to that?

[viscid moth]

Anyone else has this problem?

[leaden ginkgo]

why would you ever start with a new account. if you are even above lvl 30 this is nonsensical as hell to save a few bucks. if u work at pizzahut delivering pizza u get more bang for your buck than to start over

[leaden ginkgo]

Yeah i saw only ????

[kind burrow]

i think you should just wait a little, happened to me too a few times.

[dim quarry]

do i just wait out this black screen or what?

[leaden ginkgo]

when does mog station maintenance end? (home world transfer)

[viscid moth]

ah it's fine, I was just afraid I might have done something wrong :x

[frosty wave]

yo quick question, I have my fantasia activated but can't edit my character sup with that?

[eager fog]

where do i go to exchange the allagan tomestones of revelations or allegory?

[leaden ginkgo]

Crystarium probably

[leaden ginkgo]

Eulmore Aymarc

ah ok

[eager fog]

u must unequip ur gear

[open coral]

Tomestone exchange for poetics is usually in Mor Dhona.

[wild crypt]

You the second person asking about that here, seems like a bug happened somewhere along the way, you should report that to SQex supp.

[frosty wave]

damn....

[midnight thistle]

@kind burrow@open coral @leaden ginkgo Tnx for help and opinions!

[boreal storm]

You have to be naked for Fantasias to work

[frosty wave]

p sure I have taken everything off besides job stone and weapon

[verbal totem]

i am on 759 now

[kind burrow]

That includes accessories!

[weak sail]

damn 3743 in queue

[cosmic pilot]

Is it normal that on Character Selection, it says unable to collect character data?

[slate arrow]

please save the chat for questions

yes

[leaden ginkgo]

does anyone know?

[slate arrow]

priorty is logins over details

[eager fog]

oh then its a bug

[cosmic pilot]

Thanks!

[verbal totem]

omg haha i got eror after 20 mins

waiting

[wild crypt]

Hahahah, is that a record? Never seen that many.

[light vine]

bah lobby errors

[outer plank]

sits in queue for 15 minutes
error 2002
ONOREEEEEEE

[fossil bloom]

does anyone know where do i exchange my allegories and relvelations?

[cosmic pilot]

I got that too. What I did is change to different DC first

[opaque fiber]

My friend was 700 in queue and got the error

[cosmic pilot]

And it worked

[wild crypt]

I hope everybody that keeps getting higher numbers keep screenshot'ing those, I wanna see how high we can get 😄

[leaden ginkgo]

I'm never logging out again for the next week xd

[plain moon]

how naive

[wild crypt]

I'd bet all my money that It's gonna kick you sooner or later lol.

Kinda remember a few kicks when Shb came out.

[leaden ginkgo]

rubber band around my thumbstick come at me

[light vine]

tried, still error rip 😦

[cosmic pilot]

Sry bout that ..

[light vine]

keke patch day

[frosty wave]

perfect... guess it's gonna be support ticket from me then

[sacred depot]

is it "common" or too tin foil hat ish to say its weird that streamers dont seem to be running into any problems with playing the game?

[paper lion]

can you see your actual character model?

[verbal totem]

me no

cant see

i see ??????? on status char

at queue

[cosmic pilot]

Me too

[dim quarry]

i cant even get to the login screen in game. it black screens on me.

[wild crypt]

I'd also like to remind everybody that SQex supp may be a little overloaded, so please by patient with them too. If it's a general bug then its gonna be madness for the crew today 😦

[tall mountain]

probably a bit tinfoil, there’s surely no way they can guarantee the servers work for specific people

[frosty wave]

nope

[paper lion]

ive been hitting the little x in the bottom and changing data centers and then going back. it refreshes it

[paper lion]

see the above

[frosty wave]

gives me unable to retrieve character data

[cosmic pilot]

I imagine they’ve prepared energy drinks and foldable bed alreasy

[supple narwhal]

did they delete db's while changing percentages?
Cant see my characters

[tropic summit]

I changed from Light to Chaos, could log into Chaos but not Light 🤔

[cosmic pilot]

It seems normal

[leaden ginkgo]

Can you change name with Fantasia

[boreal aurora]

https://i.imgur.com/c6cO4VT.png omg dude i made 1000 positions and then error ;_;

[paper lion]

nope 3:

[leaden ginkgo]

Aw ok thanks

[verbal totem]

do somebody joined the game?

[sinful holly]

one day ill get past this 2002 error ;.;

[cosmic pilot]

Sorry mate. That’s what I did and it worked. Different DC

[wild crypt]

The name change is a separate service/purchase I think.

[gloomy mortar]

got into queue, 2000 down to 400, then 2002 error continuously now

[paper lion]

my partner is having the same issue 😔

[spring helm]

anyone knows if I still get early access if I preorder?

[paper lion]

yep! up until the 7th

our friend did but he was one of the lucky one to log right at 4

[sleek needle]

People have, yes

[cosmic pilot]

Not yet but hopeful 😂

[tropic summit]

yeah sometimes I'm getting to lobby 2002 error but sometimes the launcher tells me wrong password even though I haven't changed it (wtf lol)

[boreal aurora]

not playable yep ngl i actually didnt expect it but what do i know i was never on launch of ff14 something

[leaden ginkgo]

Is there anyone actually in the game yet?

[spring helm]

ty, was worried that EA was for ppl who preordered before the 3rd

[fossil bloom]

i am

[leaden ginkgo]

Ok good, that gives me hope

[frosty wave]

it seems like.... chaos is a whoooole lot busier than light

[tropic frigate]

I can't even get past the homescreen before the game crashes

[lament widget]

Love waiting 15 minutes in the queue only for a lobby error 🥲

[upper pendant]

When does store maintenance end???

[frosty wave]

over at light I didn't get the ???? in the status screen

[dim quarry]

I press play on the client, this appears and when I click it crashes

[boreal aurora]

now i cant even get in the queue anymore

[cosmic pilot]

Mogstation?

[tropic summit]

not to me, I logged into Chaos fine and haven't even gotten into Light once after more than 10 tries loool

[upper pendant]

yea mogstation***

mogstore?

[cosmic pilot]

I logged in already

[leaden ginkgo]

I'm at light and i have the ????, 2500 in queue now, there is hope guys ^^

[native inlet]

I was done fantasia'ing, but got 2002'd. Do i still have my fantasia??? QAQ

[paper lion]

did you hit confirm?

[native inlet]

yaa

[mortal cypress]

I have a question, i always have the bug "an error as accorued to the connexion to the server" error code :2002

[frosty wave]

now im stuck at connecting to data center

[paper lion]

you should be fine then! i would double check your character model tho

[wild crypt]

Fantasia should be spent whenever you finish creating the character... I theory!

[paper lion]

servers are overloaded. 2002 is common

[sleek needle]

Just keep trying

[verbal totem]

ok i see my stats and chanr but i am like 3k queue -.-

[cosmic pilot]

Oof. Maybe try clearing cache?

[paper lion]

its down til 5am if im not mistaken??

[frosty wave]

welp..... seems like I can't even enter login queue simulator :/

[clever roost]

anyone else keep getting this message?

[upper pendant]

thank!

[boreal aurora]

its morning in eu now its gonna get worse later lol more ppl will come at evening :x

[tropic summit]

yes lmao

[clever roost]

T.T

[frosty wave]

honestly, much as it's frustrating to not be able to log in.... I find that the biggest frustration is the whole mess that's both clientside and DC side

[paper lion]

im burning queue time by answering questions B)

[boreal aurora]

yea i lost my queue position and now im getting error 2002 all the time

[wild crypt]

Sounds like Lobby Servers (which are the ones that handle the login/char selects) may be more than overloaded. Those don't handle queues so It's kinda expected.

[clever roost]

kinda annoyed because they waved early access in our face

and this happens^
