the other gear in that picture isnt mgp
I'm kinda new, so I might be just looking at gear that is not, in fact, new-- oh
its one of the black mage job specific gear
at this point, do believe the false spectacles are the only thing added for mgp
darn...
anyone else dislike the massive hp drop? 104 k to 27k hp is really out there
it means nothing
Smaller value same effectiveness, the only thing I’m mad at is the fact that removal of belts fucked up my build
yeah
i think that's a thing you're gonna have to deal with lol
I didn’t really noticed the stat squish lol
how many people can play on a server?
thanks to the launch of 6.0 the servers are a mess rn
Yeah, but no solution
The “2002 (Savage)” is just what we get this expansion
Is there issues with using fantasia rn? i managed to ge in and use one but I'm not getting he prompt when i log out
3600 in queue buy how many can connect to a server at once?
Once you get in, the servers are incredibly stable.
As long as you are logged in
Speaking of the new aphorism tomes do we know what kind of gear it gives yet and how we get those tomes and where we use those tomes at or is it still too early in EW to know 

Also 3600 usually means you will still hit a few 2002 while logging in
I haven’t reached endgame, but I think the new tome is just “you get from random max lv activities” and “gear is ilv +10”
do you know what the server cap is? like i its 3000 players then that queue is another full server waiting to play. worst thing this is early access, tuesday is gonna be a nightmare.
The extra bit of ilv might help if you have trouble with extreme fights?
tuesday December is going to be a nightmare
when is it a dmg increase if ever to apply shields as a sage during trash pulls (and being able to cast Toxikon) over just casting Dyskrasia?
We Just Don’t Know
Also currently the queue is the maximum. Usually by Tuesday the crowdedness will drop down a lot
im not actually impressed with SE this release. They knew there would be an increase because of the wow exodus.
Which is the best and cheapest way to buy the game and all the expansions? I've only played up to 60 on free trial
Prime all of this is with them having prepared as much as possible for all the players coming with Endwalker
I have no idea....
I would assume when you save a GCD of healing? Applying the shield
As in, Toxicon is more like, refunding you the GCD you spent on shielding
Friendly reminder that SE also wasn't able to upgrade their infrastructure like they wanted to because of the global superconductor shortage even when they offered to pay more than market price for said infrastructure
doesnt feel like it, the exodus was months ago, sure they could have openned a nother server per data center in this time no?

Do it while running, you can usually get 2 toxicons while running
Read the comment above this one, and also no, Data Centers take a lot of time to set up and get going, as seen by the Oceanic one that isn't coming until like 6.1
they tried. even triple the normal asking price wasnt enough
You basically need to find a way to buy servers off Activision if you really want servers
fair enough if they did. im just so demorealised that i cant play and feel like it will be worse on official release.
Official release changes nothing
Nah it won’t
Official Releases is much less populated than early access
how so?
tbf, it feels like there hasn't been a smooth release in any game since like 2016
My estimate is 2002 is probably gonna get fixed by Tuesday
It shouldn't be that much worse actually because a lot of people did the preorder instead of waiting for official release
that wont change the servers being at max capacity though
Well a lot of people have jobs so they have to go back working on Monday and Tuesday
That too
Is there issues with using fantasia rn? i managed to ge in and use one but I'm not getting he prompt when i log out
And the weekend is “THE release weekend” so everyone is devoting 24 hours a day on FF
I think ShB is rather uneventful...?
it's an objective loss on single target as dosis I has equal potency to Toxicon
on aoe, dyskrasia x 2 and a half would be 400 potency so i believe you would only need 2 targets present to merit applying eukrasian diagnosis in aoe
It’s strongly recommended to just give up and don’t Fantasia now.
Since login servers are exploding
oh no that was pretty full too, just the servers after words were fine. and we ALL know how SB was... ARR servers were full for like weeks too
How do astrologian decks work
Yeah I heard ARR launch was bad... StB had Raubahn, but login was fine
What do you mean?
You draw a card from 6 random cards and slap it on someone’s face
They get angered and do more deeps
Can please someone tell me why I can't get into any worlds
Okay does each card mean somthing diffrent I assume
I just started this game yesturday and the counter for my trail is going but I haven't played
give blue cards to melee purple cards to ranged
Probably because this is by and far Square Enix's biggest launch ever and hundreds of people can't even make it through login queues before their client crashes because of how many people are online, and also the game prioritizes paid sub accounts over trial accounts right now
Okay
Anyone know when new scrip gear is unlocked like how handsaint/landsaint is? Is that patch stuff or out off the bat?
How do I get a paid account
you are on no counter for your free trial, at all
the worlds are populated atm, you cannot create a new character if the CURRENT ONLINE population of the world is too high
You’re trying to play at the launch week of an expansion and servers are dying due to the fact that they’re so overloaded and you can’t upgrade them at the moment
Balance/Spear/Arrow (Blue) go on melee jobs, Spire/Bole/Ewer (Purple) go on ranged jobs
Yesturday at the bottom it said 30 days today 29
Thanks appreciate it
then you are not on the trial version then...?
well you happened to do it on the second day of the biggest release in the game's history
it's no surprise that you're having issues getting in
i'd recommend waiting for off-peak hours
You chose a horrible time tbh to be buying and trying XIV, Endwalker is SE's largest expansion and has the highest number of logins the game has ever seen
I thought early morning would be -.- but my dumb ass realizes I'm 3 hours behind everyone else
does limited roulette only work for full parties
Does the queue move when I’m unable to obtain character data?
Yes
Woo I'm dumb I get it :( geeze I thought this community was nice
...nobody has said that
It does
Source: I'm unable to obtain character data and my queue has moved
Help me that SE let more ppl in i dont want have 5k queue
Went from 1364 to 816 right now
At 8845 on odin rn, that’s after half hour
I got to 500 ppl in queue before I gave up.
That's disgusting
well i dont play anymore today because u cant leave PC cause of 2002 error
500? thats not much
Nah but I don’t want to play right at this moment, I have to do things and I’m worried I’ll get in and then not know and be booted to the main screen.
Does anyone know how to queue in ps4
i logged in in the morning with 50 queue that was nice
You just log in on the char and it puts you in queue
I dont really get a queue number it just tell me theres no availability for a new character so I just stay in this screen?
You’re trying to make a new character?
Sheep you're better off playing games that aren't XIV right now
Ive never played
The servers are so overloaded it'll be a long while before worlds open up for character creation
where do you lvl reaper from lvl 80 to 81 my msq is at lvl81 atm so i need to get 1 lvl
Did they not run this week's Fashion Report?
Why are you being so mean
they're not..?
Every question ive asked they shoot it down I thought this was questions and help....
They haven't shot down anything.
is there a way to hide unconcious players health bars? im not a dps that can rez so i don't really wanna see the bars
did you buy the base game and apply it to your account? if you didn't then you might still be on the trial version and therefore can't queue
I need a pair of fingerless gloves for DRK that extends above the elbow, anyone know one?
I'm just trying to play the base game for jebus sake...
How is telling you that the servers are overloaded and will be overloaded for a number of weeks being mean? When servers are congested (fun fact, all of them are congested) they're closed to character creation
A new expansion just came out, you're a f2p player, members get priority, and even members can't get in. play something else for a week or two, you've got no chance in getting on.
You're straight up better off going to play different games if you just now bought XIV because it might be weeks before any worlds open back up for character creation
that didn't answer the question
how long do u guys think this situation will last? 2-3 weeks? i am legit loosing my sub days cuz the only time i can play are evenings lol
it'll probably settle down after official launch tbh
since people are going to have to go back to work
Any idea why my download speed is so slow? Should be like 10x faster
I doubt it
kael do u know if limited roulette only applies to full parties
yes
Geeze so you all just knock any new players trying to get in... The package I bought says I bought the game with it
no one is knocking you
the download speed is slow because the servers are on fire?
the simple fact of the matter is a new expansion just released
and it means that the servers are under more stress than usual
did you apply the code to your account in mogstation
Ah, yeah. New expansion - forgot about it. This is my first time with FFXIV so yeah
Where do I trade obsolete tomestones
Trying to make a new character right now is going to be pretty hard because almost every server right now, barring like JP since its night time for them, is dealing with login queues
same here, first time for expansion release and well so far it doesnt look good for me lol
I logged into the game and the only option I got was insta character creation and picking worlds
auriana in mor dhona
thing is toxikon has fall off 50% after first enemy, whereas dyskrasia doesn't
So no more XP from trash mobs in dungeons ?
correct, the exp was transfered to the bosses
not sure if this is the right thread but does anyone knows what this is
Guess no one can help
Jesus Sheep, people have told you. Just because it's not what you want to hear doesn't mean they're attacking you.
never seen that one :( maybe updating your windows explorer?
You're not going to be able to make a character on NA/EU right now.
worlds are currently too full to accept new character creations
you'll have to try later, like in the early morning when people are asleep
I can't even just play the story seprate
no
Welcome to MMO's.
this is an mmo
what do you mean the story seperate, like offline?
Ya
Massive Multiplayer Online
sorry, doesn't work like that :( some other game then maybe
where do you start reaper job quests?
But what the fuck ever this was a horrible mistake
uldah
I think adventures guild, Uldah
!faq ewjobs
Endwalker Expansion Jobs: Reaper(Maiming DPS) and Sage(Healer).
These jobs start at level 70 and require ownership of the Endwalker Expansion, as well as a Disciple of War or a Disciple of Magic at level 70.
Job Unlock Locations:
Reaper - Flustered Attendant at Ul'dah - Steps of Nald (X:12.8 Y:8.6) - Quest Name: The Killer Instinct
Sage - Sharlayan Maiden - Limsa Lominsa Lower Decks (X:9.4 Y:12.9) - Quest Name: Sage's Path
We’re not attacking you, we’re in the same boat as you. We all have to accept that if we can’t get on, we can’t get on sadly. I’ve gone from 8845 in the queue to 7957 in 45 mins. I don’t get special access for being subbed since feb 2014 or buying each expansion on multiple platforms.
Sadly character creation is just not possible as the databases the servers run on are exhausted trying to keep up with data that already exists
i unlocked already i mean job quests that unlock stuff skills etc
I wasn't trying to act like I'm special or above anyone I just wanted to know
!slowmode 10
Is "Final Fantasy XIV Online Starter Edition" at 19.99USD the only/best value option to upgrade to full version?
You kinda were, people kept answering and you'd shut them down because it wasn't what you wanted to hear, saying "oh you just don't want new players"
But seriously from my perspective thats how it looks
Starter edition isn't the full version because it doesn't include the expansions. You'd want to get the complete edition or the starter edition + endwalker, whatever is cheapest for you
My bad. 3 enemies then
Which one didn't I like huh
Anyone know where I can change out my 5.0 tomestones?
It doesn't look like that from any perspective, no one can get on right, not even people that have been playing since ARR launch.
auriana in mor dhona
Thats literally what it looks like coming in and asking basic questions and your all like try in two weeks kid
Is there a recommended place to get the complete edition?
are there new DoL/DoH manuals in EW?
Doesn't that sound condescending
Ehh, at that point I'd just say you should look around because idk what deals or sellers you got where you live etc etc @acoustic thunder
Dude you joined when a new expansion came out, it’s gonna be packed constantly
- No one said "kid"
- People literally told you the reason as to why you should try later, so many people are struggling to get on right now, even people playing for 6+ years
I genuinely didn't know
Stop taking everything so personally, no one here's attacked you once.
It doesn't since we've been explaining that the servers are on fire and nowhere is open for character creation
You did when people told you, multiple times, but you've just ignored it and continued going on being all entitled.
i don't believe so
If you want an idea of how much they're on fire there's people in here with queues of almost 9,000 people
bummer. Thanks!
I didn't even know this game was for the ps4 so ya
Hello, I'm trying to find out if i already preordered latest expansion. I have the game on steam. But can't figure out where to look to see if i already purchased it.
Mogstation
Thanks
Thank you to those who took the time to explain things to a simpliton like me :)
Right click ffxiv in steam library, manage > CD keys iirc
It appears that the complete edition with Endwalker isn't available until 12/7.
Guess I'm either stuck paying $20 to play this weekend then buy the expansions whenever I get there or wait til Tuesday 🙃
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/277968447739002880/898014925174227034/unknown-16.png a bit of a meme image but is the basic gist
won't get full detailed guides until later
That is so small Merry 😄
copied wrong @.@
That's better 😄
I'm in queue the wait begins
what's a good dungeon to get my warrior from 80-81. Pagalthn?
is there any specific way i should pop the egi for summoner?
nope
Oh is it cause 80 dungeons have doodoo exp
and i should use the aspected attack too right
Atleast for now, endgame probably be a bit different
but again will have to wait for the full detailed guide on that
Slowmode lowered to 5 seconds.
ye, same concept as 50/60/70 dungeons. exp is not that good
A: Mechanically, not at all. You're free to make the choice in any order you wish. At endgame, it will be optimal to choose the order that puts the most into the buffs you are working with, though that may be different depending on your comp. Garuda and Ifrit have some restrictions on their abilities, so make sure you can actually cast them when you enter those phases.
Q: When do I use Ruin 4? Where does it come from?
A: Ruin 4 is granted by using Energy Drain. You should prioritize using it whenever you can make use of the cleave or need the mobility. Otherwise, use it wherever you wish as long as it is not inside a Demi summon and don't waste it.
Q: How do demi attacks work now?
A: They are automatic. No need to manage demi movement. They seem a little janky in movement in dungeons, but for stationary targets they just root in place and cast without you having to do anything.
Q: Why doesn't Astral Flow work in Ifrit/Garuda/Titan?
A: The trait to unlock this is at level 86.
Q: What is the opener?
A: Prepull R3 -> Searing Light -> Bahamut -> continue on from there. You can choose to use Bahamut on 2nd or 3rd gcd as well.
Q: What is the rotation?
A: Demi -> Primal 1 -> Primal 2 -> Primal 3 -> Demi
More detailed guides on the rotation will be coming soon. For now, this is the core idea. Primal order isn't important, but do make sure you use all their abilities before moving on to the next Primal.```
Question: For the new Reaper and Sage jobs, if you're still in Heavensward or not done with Stormblood yet and don't have access to the high ilvl 70 gearsets does the job quest automatically sync your ilvl to 395 or is that the max and it syncs you to something else?
Where can I find new crafter macros?
Just pre-ordered Endwalker, how can I access it on ps4?
Log in to account on game, download patch, accept terms etc
The unlock for both gives you a chest with gear for 70. If you're not over 395, you won't get synced.
Hot damn there's no download for it
anyone know if its true that newly created character rn get the road to 80 buff even without the world being preferred?
Nobody does since you can't create new characters 
Well, I now have a 2k queue but I also now have Endwalker Early Access ;_;

gah why cant i connect at all keeps failing to connect to server error 2002
Still 5.5k ahead of me 🤡
how to travel to other DC's?
You can't. Road to 80 only applies on Preferred servers.
That function isn't unlocked yet.
what is the command to resize the summoner companions ?
/petsize iirc
does it work on carbys
thats what im thinking too, but i heard someone say that they had the road to 80 buff and idk how
or just the primals
Are people actually logging out or is it just a staggered login process?
when
Primals only, carby remains the same
Nominally 6.1
I think it's just a staggered log in. In game the servers are just fine
connecting to data center
why i keep getting this error..
couldn't play yesterday either
Because the servers are getting slammed with login requests.
Servers are on fire
log in queues are overloaded so it's booting people off
so its nothing on my end i can fix?
Yep nothing you can really do
they compensating?
no
literally paying for gametime
I mean why would they need to compensate. Just reboot the game and try again
There's nothing SE can really do either because of the global chip shortage.
and cant even play, and missing out on the most enjoyable part which is new release...
The servers are up and people are able to play
while yes the 2002 is frustrating and so are the queues
the game IS playable
how?
Wait
Can confirm that the game is playable
Source: doing MSQ right now
wait in that error menu?
I had to restart about 30 times before I could get past the 2002 error. Now I have to fight the 2000-player queue.
Keep trying until you don't get the 2002 and then wait in the queue. If you get the error while in queue, reconnect. If you can get back to the queue fast enough it saves your place.
^ I had to keep trying but I think my 2002's are behind me. It's been 7 hours and am at 400 in queue
the key is to login outside of peak times especially since we have weekend, that way you can play all day like me
I estimate about another 6 hours in queue for my server at its current pace, so about 1am local time. I’m half tempted to go to sleep but if I get booted out and don’t realise for a few hours, I’m guessing that outs me all the way to the back
well great, i was looking forward to the playing on launch day more than anything... ffs
You are playing
and yes i have tried many many times
Its 9am here so I'm guessing around dinnertime I can play :P
The Launch Day Login Game
you and a couple ten thousand others of us too man
The devs did warn that this would happen in the last live letter due to a shortage of server parts.
2002, I can't put in words how much I hate this
It happened for shadowbringers too
Pretty sure you can subscribe to that
Livestream where the devs introduce new features in upcoming patches as well as news about ongoing development.
are the shadows in this game known to be.. well.. pretty poopy and pixelated even at high settings?
There's also an article about the expected server issues on the lodestone where they post news
Think that just depends on your platform
Ehhhh yeah. I suppose it kinda depends on the shadow.
I'm #1 in queue for a bit now
Is the lodestone character display on a delay at all btw? I changed to viera yesterday and it went fine, but my lodestone shows my hyur still as of 5m ago
How screwed am I?
They are delayed yes
Ah good to know, had a lil concern my fanta was lost to the aether
After using my fantasia and going bun boy, seeing how few helmets are actually visible.. Yeah think I'll go back to Miqo'te
IT DOUBLED DOWN: 4004
I’m ready for that, my alt is a hroth
Double or nothing, 8008
does anybody know how long generally does it take for the crazy queue times start dying down? Its my first expasion launch and im loving it but having to wait 3 hrs to log in everytime is rough
Pretty much no queue times at around 9am uk time
yeah but like what seems to be most people, I can only log in around the afternoon
which seems to be peak time
Probably gonna be like this for a couple weeks at least
is rekindle literally just a worse excog?
its telling me unable to load character data and im queue 1 but its not letting me in for a while now
ive been trying to log in and out to maybe fix it but its not working
im so scared i'll lose my queue after relogging too many times
Stop relogging then
anyone know whats new in gold saucer? any new games, mounts, or minions?
Hello, i am planning on playing this game. But i dont have a laptop or pc. I mainly game on ps5. Does someone know a good budget laptop that can run this game smoothly?
You can play it on ps5
Why not just play on ps5?
why do people party up in bozja? is it more xp or something
Never played a mmorpg on console. Seems like a game that plays better ok mouse and keyboard. With all the skills and stuff
Higher chance in getting credit on events
Is it normal for long waiting times for some trials for EW?
Controller design is great in this game
Also typing on a controller is annonying
I am almost at 30 mins no players found for some reason
Grab a £15 USB or BT keyboard
Are you a DPS rond?
you could always get a bluetooth keyboard, im pretty sure those work with ps5
Nah I’m using tank
Could just be there's not enough people up to that point then
I feel so stupid that i didnt think of that looool
Yikes lol, first man on the moon then lol jk
I did see ppl flying through a lot tho around the zone so idk
@uneven tendon does it runs good on ps5? No lag etc? Also is it cross play? Or do i only play with console players
it is cross play
on ps5 it works super nicely
it does work even on ps4 almost without problems so ps5 surelly be good
Fully cross play, runs great but the PS4 backwards compatibility version runs smoother than PS5 native version, but the PS5 version is what I play because I’m happy with it
Ps4 base? I still got that but i dont use it
so many afk people and im here just trying to create a new char to play 😦
can someone explain the queue system to me? what the fuck am i waiting for?
To get in.
really?!?!?
You're waiting for there to be enough room on the server
to get into disneyland yea
servers have a limited capacity, they can't just let everyone log on at once. no one would be able to play because they'd keep crashing.
so its waiting for players to leave, rathre than simply funneling people at a manageable rate?
Bit of both.
fuck thats rough
do you all think healer ques will go down in time, or will tanks still be the least played
Also if i plan playing on a pc. Does can i log in with my playstation account?
Worlds rough rn mate 😔
I forgot to ask do i need playstation +?
No you always log in with your SE account
And no
You need an active FFXIV subscription
But that's it
I believe on a free trial account you’re tied to the platform you sign up on
other games ive played with huge queues have seen it go down at a steady rate of many players per second, which im guessing was just funneling, which lead me too woonder why the hell this queue takes so long despite it only being 3-4k
if im waiting for players to leave then it makes sense
I play on Steam and PS5, so I have to buy each expansion separately, but my subscription is shared as it is one service account/one login
Uh, where do I see what server Im on? Trying to find a guild that can help with level. >->
@slate arrow i can play until lvl 60 right? If i decide to pay? Do i start over or keep my lvl 60 account
im just following up on what i sai dlmofa relax
But they've already repeatedly clarified in various Lodestone posts
!faq freetrial
no you keep everything :) same account
Aha, is it also subscription based if playing on console?
yeah
Has anyone preordered endwalker from GameStop and received their early access code?
question does Alt+Tab while in login que cause the 2002 error?
No
Due to the congestion, is it taking awhile for people to re-edit their characters if they drink a fantasia? Just drank one and I can't re-edit.
Yes
you cant play ew?
Thank you 🙂
I didn't know this is all I had to do
I thought the memebership came with the game xD
Thank goodness I looked up mogstation
No idea what that was
You get 30 free play days with purchase of any version of the game that comes with A Realm Reborn
is it like this every expansion or just this one has a little extra mustard cause of popularity
Does this game really run better on a ps4 then on a ps5?
Ya I saw that
I thought it was memenership
Nono, it runs better on PS5, but you can download the ps4 version on it
No, the PS4 Pro version runs better than the PS5 version on PS5 is what people are saying
Just a domino effect of extremely fortunate consequences with World of Warcraft basically collapsing on itself
And everything else that happened because of it
/cough cough asmongold cough
7 quests and still havent leveled up... pre 6.0 it was not as hard
I never bothered looking actually, is there new endwalker pvp gear?
No, any new gear with be with the PvP update
Ah ok, thanks
could 2.3k people pls log out right now, id really appreciate it
Didn’t they also say that endwalker was also the longest story they’ve done, so 7 quests would be a smaller % of the amount (just guessing)
this is for post sb forgot to mention that
That's why, post exp quests have never gave good exp
"post game" of course you ain't going to level up
idk this stuff but ty for the info
is there a way for chat to "remember" the channel I used? If I do a /shout "text", I don't want to have to keep typing /shout, it should just put me in that channel
This only applies to shout chat
How do I get rid or error 2002?
You wait
Anyone wanting to make a new character and no wait time please check this page it should help unlike some who just say try another game
https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/worldstatus/
I’ve been waiting for an hour
I've just realised how you got in sheep
you're playing on japanese servers.
Which isn't a solution for the average player.

They're doing their best to put out the metaphorical fires
but unfortunately because of how the login servers work everyone wants to play on the same DC their favorite streamers are on
I imagine he'll also regret it relatively soon when he realises he's on a server with high ping and barely anyone speaking his language.
I just wanted to play and how to get on again I'm glad to put that there so other new players can as well get on
While, yes making a character on a JP server right now gets you in
Have fun doing literally anything later on when no one understands you
its not going to be viable choice for all new players because its likely they aren't japanese or understand japanese
You're also playing on servers where prime time for you, is nighty night time for literally everyone else
Everything is in English for me
as i said earlier, right now its going to be hard to make a character on an NA/EU server because its prime time for EU and late morning/early afternoon for NA
Your client is in english
Yes.. but the players won't be
but that doesn't necessarily mean the people you are playign with are english
!mute @limber parcel 1h
what was the latest info we got on cross data center travel? do we have an exact date?
if that works for you, fine, but do note that if you want to change servers you're going to have to pay
it's been delayed until around when the OCE servers also come online
So judging by the conversation i'm guessing the login is even more screwed than yesterday?
is this because of the queue?
its the weekend so yes, login queues are more slammed than usual
since more people can play
No, that's because of the current active player count
Character creation is disabled when servers are under load
Yeah figured, not even gonna try tonight then, gl all
If you wanna try a different server for now here this shows you were you can go
yeah sure
Lv90 job gear
Any news on the audio stuttering issue?
does armony exp affect quest reward's exp I forgot
Is there a way to stop the music that plays when you get on your chocobo? Sometimes I just want to hear zone music.
They're aware of it and it's being worked on
Ehats the gear called?
/mountbgm
https://i.imgur.com/UXXFO1f.png system -> sound

log out and let someone else play
yoshi-p asks for you to be considerate and to let other people play when you're busy
Crystal has a lower raid population and a large roleplaying population
Aether and Primal are essentially the same experience
Different PF strats
do we already have gear we could craft in prep for the first savage tier or will that release with or shortly before it?
That’ll release in the Savage patch
No, raid gear will be added with the patch
ahh okay
so we don't have anything better than purple scrip DoL/DoH gear right now either?
bruh...I just got a bug where the textbox did not show up as NPC's were talking and got stuck forced to restart game??
That’s not a question 👀
That's not a question still
And not one I can answer without additional context
30 day blocks
what are the queue times like on leviathan?
is there any way to make launcher not ask for password and one time code every single time? something like "remember me on this pc, coz this my pc and its always me and I believe in my pc" ?
what job makes those purple portals ?
Reaper
The native launcher, no
"native launcher" implies there is colonial launcher as well ?
which spell?
!faq xivlauncher
this launcher is pure bliss
oh its written in c#?
tyty
since we have sources, I can assume people went thru it and checked for trojans and keyloggers and stuff right?
? folks if yall can help and since mogstation got revamp and where do you put the game key code at ??
You can compile it yourself if you don't trust it but I haven't had any issues for years now
Is there still a XP system in play that benefits getting 1 Combat Job to 90?
where i get this you have like so many days to enter the code and another one after 7 days
yeah I will, luckily c# is my "job" so it should be no problem to check the source 🙂
ok thx
so thank you !
You only own early access not Endwalker
You'll have the other expansions properly when you redeem the standard key
does desktop remote apps defeat afk lockout?
The armoury bonus hasn't changed besides adding 10 levels to the +100% bonus bracket
yes
is there any way to play after i just bought starter edition? my 30 days are starting and i havent even joined a single world yet
You signed up at basically the worst time my dude unfortunately
3079
Endwalker just came out, the servers will be congested for the next few days
how many..
You'll have to try to log in during like, 2-8 am
oh bet
as long as i can get my character freaking in the world once ill be good
thank you
thx you and i thought i got a new pre order code so it is the same one that i got before but what happened i thought i had it set up to pay upfront but some how it went to pay later when the expansion soon arrive
MSQ
why can't I use my compas?
uhhh
It's in your collections menu under duty
can i buy edenmorn reaper Gear?
Oh
If you have the Eden Savage books yes
first you have to be in the map some how at the entry and go to the aetherite and register it and then you can port to it at another time
no
unless there a change before you go and the game have gone through some changes not related to endwalker but it did got changed when endwalker arrived
anyone know of a fix to dx11 crashes?
anybody else gave up queing after getting 2002 errors
with all the server queues happening, is there anyone who could tell me what is happening on a technical level? Is it that the actual server is full when you get into a queue and we are merely waiting for someone to leave or is it more that they can't have over 4000 players join all at once and are drip by drip letting players in?
you can try to download the updated one from Ms unless you tryd that then idnk sorry
Currently a Free Trial player, but since I'm now kicked out and unable to queue I wanna know the most cost-efficient purchase to do rn.
Assuming I will eventually buy endwalker (maybe even right after but idk yet), should I get starter edition or shadowbringers complete rn?
Hi guys, my friend is in shb and just noticed that she doesn't have flying for the Dravanian Forelands, but her aether currents UI says she has it all. Anyone know what could be missing?
Send a big report
Bug
I've found starter for ~$13 and complete for ~$48
Know that owning Endwalker also gives priority in the queue
oo that does entice me a bit
Either way I’d say Starter
there have been notifications and even on patch notes too
Endwalker will include SB/ShB
I know that’s why I said it 
and i have recieved email notices too
i was just confirming it and sorry lyon
I didn't read patch yet since everything's new to me rn
Send a bug report, do an in game GM ticket, and also go to the area yourself, use the Aether compass to check for missing ones, and check all blue quests in the are for Aether Currents.
Tried ft a year ago when they did the big trial revamp but didn't play much since my friends haven't
Trying it again now solo and I'm liking it more now
6.0 included an update that changed locations and removed some old Aether Currents
But yeah starter now and grab endwalker later?
anyone know where the artifact gears are?
What are some good tips for starting out? I plan on playing on console
Since I prob wouldn't grind fast enough to get to endwalker content while it's still in EA
Do we not get xp for killing enemies in dungeons? I'm struggling with it as I level my samurai from 75-80
Exp that was formerly earned from enemies has been moved to the bosses
You still earn the same % of exp
Ah okay
Without any spoilers whatsoever, what's the general sentiment on the EX trials gameplay wise?
Is anyone else having issues trying to connect to Aether data center? I can connect to Primal and Crystal just fine but Aether just instantly errors out for me
Or is it too early?
Doubt anyone in this chat has even reached them Aries
Is it still smart to use food for an exp buff during dungeons?
i have noticed some exp gain and at the end you get a big boost if not lvled up
Where do I go to exchange tomestones of allegory for poetics?
Mor Dhona
Eell then I'll aek something more relevant.
Is it my impression or did dungeons get tougher? I did the level 81 dungeon and it was pretty difficult, are they all on a similiar level?
Thanks
Yeah lots of movement
Trash felt tougher
Early in expansion, people undergeared
have they worked on the freaking errors and cant freaking get past the black screen of error after logging on Data Center
i know there is a lot of ppl but those errors should have been worked on
But I'm glad to see that dungeon bosses got a buff in EW
https://i.imgur.com/8CbhW20.png can i throw this away? i used them all once
The first boss also used dispellable poison. I haven't seen a cleanse mechanic in a dungeon in a while
Exchange them
where
Trade them to the resistance historian for coins or lockboxes
Resistance Historian
where is this
Bozja camp
In Bozja or Zadnor
ah kk
Spawn starting zine
oh i got a work around instead of clicking start i clicked Data Center and then my world
btw i hope that help some ppl
is Gshade not working with the new update?
It should work
How much does expansions cost?
You have to buy base game + latest expansion
And that gives you everything
Circa 50-60$ or €
And for the next expansion?
are the queues still long
- 10-15 € sub
So every new expansion it cost like 50 usd?
btw is there a guide that you can move to another service temp while there is congestion and that i meant like youtube guide how to do this ???
starter is 19.99 which is required and standard endwalker which includes the past expansions is 39.99(collectors 59.99)
Yes, if it's brand new. But you don't have to buy old expansions, you get tuem all at once
There's a way to see which mob drop a material?
Yes every two years
Nope, either base yourself on the name or look it up
if i got off and them got back on how long would it take to get in
Maybe half an hour
Depends on seever
So better to buy with expansion right of the batv
Damn... Thank you tho!
Does it take long too reach endgame?
is it possible to level 2 jobs at once with endwalker msq
Potentially, but it's difficult
You can do sidequest on the sidejob while in a new zone
My girlfriend and I are new so we went ahead and just got the starter and collectors endwalker for the goodies
no, not with msq quest exp alone, I had issues doing one job where at 2 points I had to run a dungeon to meet new dungeon level requirements
figure we might as well get all the expansions while the preorder bonues are there
If you're trying to level two jobs at once going through Endwalker you're wrong
It's pretty much impossible tbh
i see
To give you an idea I just started the 84 MSQ and I'm still getting the same amount of exp from the MSQ that I was from the 80 MSQs at the start
Is the pre order bonus worth it?
Pre ordering at this point is just buying the game
Early access has nothing to distinguish it from the full release
You buy now, you can play and get exp earring
You buy after the 7th, you can play and don’t get exp earring
can anyone tell me when the first time "telophoroi" was spoken?
can you get afk kicked mid-cutscene? 😄
yes
Not sure if this is the right "room" to ask, but can anyone recommend a good video(s) that summarize ARR through ShB? I want to make sure I understand the story before I eventually start EW.
I tried #general-discussion, but so many people are talking at once, that no one saw my question. And I don't want to go into #archived-lore-spoilers because I assume that's where people who have beaten everything so far.
right but Where in 5.4

dont forget the minion
I like to deliberately forget the minion
haha
Near-er the end
And probably the last chance to get an EXP ring if you never got one
is the artifact gear mentioned in the patch notes talking about SHB or EW gear? if its SHB does anyone know when it becomes dyeable..? im in 5.3 and it doesnt appear to be dyeable
EW gear
sad
ShB dyeable af comes from Memoria Misera (extreme)
but also not sad because ew gear is good
yeah i knew it was from memoria as well not sure what they were talking about though
So whats the deal with aether currents? Why'd they take away the compass?
you still have your compass
It's now a collection item rather than taking up an inventory slot
the shb af that was made dyeable with 6.0 is the weapons since they were not dyeable (or had a dyeable version) before @carmine fossil
yeah i checked the guy and weps were dyeable
oh
How do you access it?
bottom right, Duty tab, collections
Thanks
if you're of a low-ish level it may well be the only thing in there
Is there any decent place to get aetheryte tickets? I never really looked before but feel like I should now
only for allied or centrurio seals
allied or centurio seals
Ahhh. hunt seals
So how high does my shared fate level have to be to get the riding maps
rank 2, so 6 fates done
I feel like there's something to this one - how does crit Eukrasian Diagnosis interact with giving you an addersting? I swear I've seen it give me the point before the full 2 shields are depleted
I made it through the queue and now stuck in a loop of 3001 error, any ideas?
Really don't get it... My connection is just fine, yet I get auto-DC'd after 10 minutes in the queue. <_<
Wish there was at least a way to login to a less-crowded world.
depletes the normal shield first
only needs the normal shield buff to be eaten to give you sting
Ah. Figures. So eukrasian diagnosis is consumed before differential diagnosis and gives you the sting for that
bit much to hope for you getting 2 stings i guess
thanks for that
Even if they can't upgrade the servers, surely they could come up with a way to improve the queue system.
Would it be possible to tie the user's place in the queue to their IP address in the event of a DC?
How long until i get a mount from the delivery moogle
Mmmm
fuck if i know, we don't have any direct ties to SE
Mogmail and store delivery is affected by server load
Draw your own conclusions from that
anywhere from now until yes, all services are congested
ah ok. no worries.
Often the thing that makes the mail moogle bring you your delivery is relogging...
So... yeah...
SOL
no, not really. it's affected by server load, and this is literally the most server load most players will ever see
so honestly I would best advise stop waiting and then it might be a nice surprise when it shows up
I have queued for 2 and a half hours. 😆 I will just wait for it to come through instead of relogging.
its a domino effect of circumstances way outside of SE's ability right now
I've waited in game for an hour for a delivery before then relogged and got it immediately. :x
the fact that the in game servers are not burning down is a blessing
why can't i see the dragon gauge anymore?
Not that I was waiting the whole time mind you, was doing other stuff.
unable to submit world visit request at this time
so... i can't queue cuz my world is full, and i can't visit another world cuz that system is down...?
My question is, how many days is it usually, until logins "normalize"?
Anyone know off the top of their head the least-populated world on Crystal?
yes because world visit puts you in the world login queue
and if the world login queue is full you can't world visit
Based on previous xpac launches.
nice. i can't actually play the game
It is gone.
Shadowbringers didn't have the same issue
Previous experience has gone out the window.
Blood of the Dragon is a trait now, your gameplay is as if it's always up
We're in uncharted waters right now.
the only reason EW is having this is because of the domino effect called WoW Shadowlands
I won't say it's quite as bad as 2.0 early access.
Ahhh. I see. That's... Glorious.
But it's pretty damn close.
when i open my HUD editor it's still there, but it's invisible. also the ability Mirage Dive tells me it "strenghens the gaze of my Dragon Gauge by 1", what does that mean?
it shouldn't be invisible.
Mirage dive adds one 'eye' to your gauge.
Having 2 eyes allows you to enter Life of the Dragon by using geirskogul then
and that gives you access to nastrond and stardiver
@slate arrow I know the effect. Though not a total refugee, I'm on a vacation from Azeroth for the forseeable future.
can i actually see a gauge or is that eye gauge invisible?
might want to rightclick it to check if it's toggled on, I know that works for hotbars but it might work the same for other UI elements, I'm unsure
hang on a moment
thanks for helping 🙂 i'm just a little confused
is the stardew valley mode out yet or is it in a later update
this queue T_T
On the classic gauge it’s the eye opening halfway and then opening fully. On the simplified gauge it’s two pips that fill up.
assuming you havent changed it to simple mode this is what you should see
to clarify, you are level 70 yes
yes! lvl 72
that's very odd
did you change transparacy?
Oh damn, character creation is locked on all words huh?
instead of size?
sorry, need help real quick: any know how to enlarge the text without using global UI scaling?
i'm sorry but i don't know why that would be - i'd only advise messing around with the settings of the Dragon Gauge element
noob question, can I not make a character on japan data center and then transfer to na so I can actually Q?
what happens if you default it
no
it's all fine 🙂 thanks for all the help anyways! will try
figured as much, this sucks
your best bet would be waiting for off-peak hours
it just makes it smaller xD
these are very very much not off-peak hours
these are weekend peek hours
no just click defaults
Yeah, my buds and I are for sure gunna stay up tonight to hopefully get our characters created
set it to not-simple mode rq would you
but lyon was correct, even in simple mode you should see this
i made it default again and it's still invisible
sorry, then, not a clue
all fine 🙂 thanks anyways
if the game could crash for 3800 people, I'd be really happy
Lol
um... any1?
Might be the transparency?
shouldn't be anything here when default doesn't work
if nobody responds generally assume nobody knows rather than people ignored you
wouldn't be much use if people said 'no i dont know' would it
however i don't believe you can change that without changing overall scale
i c
i’ve noticed since the update that using up and down on my d-pad is automatically switching my sticky target. is there a way to prevent this?
it's sadly not, put everyting on default already 😦 maybe i'm just missing something but don't think so
lunatender blossom? anyone know how to craft or find?
if i have a msq roulette bonus available, is it better to do that or spam at level dungeons when trying to level (rpr)
but open your gathering log for botanist and see
hey i used a fantasia, and then logged out as it says to do so i could edit my character, but all i get is this ? and right clicking their name isnt showing me anything related to it. ive logged in and out multiple times. what have i done wrong/what am i meant to do?
symptom of the extreme server load
the best advice you'll get from anyone is 'try again later'
ah but that is the thing, i did this over 6 hours ago,,
ask me how i know
all FFXIV services are congested, prority are on Logins over ANYTHING ELSE
this is also mine rn ahaha
but is my character still like ok ? just cause everything has ??? beside it
is visiting world servers bugged ?
it's like if you have a launcher error saying your password is wrong - it's probably not, just everything's on fire
May sound shitty but ur best bet is getting up really early for the fantasia
alright then thank you, ill just try it again in the morning 
did they change the VA for (post shb) ||fandaniel||
yes, if you want to do business with square services it's best to do it at as dead hours as you can
like, between stormblood and shb or shb and now?
is it bugged ): ?
like everything else
massive server load is making shit break
@agile laurel in EW
all FFXIV services are congested, prority are on Logins over ANYTHING ELSE
ahh is there any other way to go back to my main server ?
not that i have personally noticed but can't say for sure one way or the other
what part of ALL do people not understand
Try it when no ones online
possibly not, ngl. wait until off-peak hours
I can vouch for 3 to 4am
i think they did cause he sounds less twinky and a little more rough now
Or the VA got different direction.
i think something like this needs to be pinned ngl
It's general form for FF characters to be better written/directed in their starring expansion than in the post-msq immediately before it
maybe but idk why they would suddenly decide to change it after months of consistency
could've been internal feedback. no way to know.
guess ill have to see the EW credits 
It's still consistent.
Still got that weird little lisp
where are you in the msq, cerb?
Aw man! Game melted. SSDs on fire everywhere!
Whats the npc to trade the old tombstones/scrips
||just after gathering the warding scales with the scions and graha ate a burger||
i c
..his voice is supposed to be different there
How do you make a hotbar keep the spell only for one class already? Have my 3 first doing that, but my 4th is not
||He has 2 different voices. One is Asahi's, one is Amon||
@agile laurel Any common questions you'd like to see in a TL;DR FAQ
Is this the new Normal? Is the long log-in Queue here to stay?
For a week at least
oh that makes more sense....||but is it the same VA doing both or||
anyone happen to know where the level 87 caster role quest starts?
fairly certain its not same VA
May I DM you? Unless you're being ironic, I'm not sure
interastin
hey, i have a problem
nah im not being ironic just answering the same question 300 times a day is making me go nut(sy)
okay
I've been playing for 2-3 months now. I have NEVER logged in without sitting in some kind of queue.
i disconnected during a solo instance, i now have down for the count
i cant do anything anymore
i have video proof of how it looks
send a bug report
i did that
ACK! go to but 2689 players in the queue.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rhvzJOJd0g here is how it looks on my end, im trying to log back in but
3k player queue
guys I flippin forgot to attune to the big crystal in the new city, how do I get back
the ship is no longer at the original place
Got the lobby error a couple of times
it will happen multiple times, just try again and wait
Dang
Yep everyone’s suffering from it
!faq ewfaq
If you manage to log back in very quickly you can preserve your spot in the queue
Do I get the other expansions in Early Access?
Yes. Remember to redeem your Standard code to maintain access after EA.
I can't log in/Error 2002/I can't create a character/Where's my Online Store Purchase/World Visit isn't working
All FFXIV services are under load and priority is on Logins. If you need to perform anything not directly related to logging in, try again later.
They nerfed my jobs!!
They've only been talking about the stat squish for the past few months, all calculations used to calculate damage numbers has been altered. I would recommend checking The Balance if you're that concerned.
But yeah, good luck
Why'd you login to the coldest zone in the game. You will catch cold!
don't.
i am not having fun here btw, these jokes do nothing for me
so my cousins server is fulll
!faq ewfaq
Hi, does anyone know a way to Thavnair, if you left after you got tele'd there through quest and never attuned to the crystal 😦 I cant continue the main story quest anymore...

how long do i wait
the NPC you talked to before the cutscene will transport you to thavnir again for free
You are my hero thank you !!!!!
you may not be able to create a new character until after the weekend
world visit is tied to the login system
and for that I refer to the !faq ewfaq I linked earlier
read the FAQ linked above
but once you get it in your moogle mail you right click > use it as any other item
but it will also log you out
im a new player just bought ender and everything else cpl hours ago
what is moogle mail?

so is there anyway to play ff14 rn if everything is full
nope
..... so what did i just spend 100 bucks for lol
why did they lock adding new characters into new worlds anyway
So the servers don't explode more than they already do/are
so when do they lift the restriction
When people get offline
once they stabilize servers?
!faq serverlock
Standard, Preferred, and New Servers will dynamically open and close themselves from newly created characters depending on how many players are online. To ensure you're able to make a new character on your server try waiting or doing so at a less active time of day.
Congested Servers will not unlock for new players or transfers until Square Enix removes the Congested Status.
so i come back again later and try and make a new charatcer on crystal / bewyldhyr
Congested Servers will not unlock for new players what defines a new player
i played before but on primal up to like lvl 10
New characters
I haven't been able to even get into the queue for 2+ hours. It gives me the 2002 error before the queue even loads. what do I do?
you wait
Come back later
Did they say when world status will be updated, i.e. Congested, Preferred,e etc.
for everything but congested servers its dynamic
so im confused so what do i do with my lvl 20 charatcer on primal but all my cousins are on crystal
@slate arrow Hey, so I think they must have implemented that IP thing already.
ONLY CONGESTED SERVERS are permanently locked for new characters
and congested is updated on a per patch basis unless otherwise required
see: the Aether congested hotfix back when asmon joined
I got kicked out twice now. First time I thought it was a coincidence because I got kicked pretty early on.
wait for what? i've been waiting for hours. this game kicked me out at #26
But this time I was in the 1500's and when I got back on I was there again.
how do u know a server is congested
you check the lodestone, the server status page
!faq worldstatus
so there all congested
No
Character creation is currently locked on all severs.
They're all standard
They all say Standard
I'm talking about specifically the World Classification
but theres a red X
weird
But it's not Congested
Char creation is locked due to:
is the game sound strange for anyone else? Like when I play war and I pop nascent flash or something the healing sounds seem to fade off away
!faq serverlock

so i can still make a character?
When the servers aren't literally full yes
Basically if there's a queue you can't make a character.
ohhhh, so if theyre full, no new characters can be made
so when can a brand new player ( me)
yep
make a character
Log on at 3am and pray
but i like sleep 😉
But I wouldn't get your hopes up
the recommended time is 4-8 AM but it's also the weekend
pst???
Any tips on what World to join?
so in about 14 hours from now
Where do you unlock the level 90 artifact gear?
Any, all servers are the same
anyone been experiencing choppy audio recently? not even exclusive to new stuff because I just did nidhogg and it was present there
audio engine broke, they're working on it
@unkempt quiver any, but take note that everything’s congested atm
how do i fix error 2002?
pure speculation on my end but it seems the method they used to update the game to support surround sound via embody is more intensive than they expected, and uses the graphics card?
so if you have a weak GPU you may encounter issues
sorry for asking this is my first expansion
you can't, just keep trying
2002 is due to the login servers dying
ask this again but a different way… my targeting has changed. i used to be able to target one person (arrow over their head), then press down on my d-pad to temporarily target another person to cast a heal. now, every time i press d-pad up or down it makes that person my primary target. can this be fixed? i can’t find the option anywhere.
what are these random portals im seeing everywhere?
ok thank you
re enable soft targeting in control under character config
@soft flicker reaper gates, just an ability
pink portals? reaper
reaper
ty i will go look
oh is it a higher level ability for them?
yea @soft flicker
ahh okay
i have looked and looked and looked and cannot find this. can you tell me exactly which section/tab it’s under in the character config?
i mean i’ve been looking for like an hour now all throughout the settings and i can’t find anything about this
i think its this
how can i make it so i can use my bar 1 with my regular keybinds for the pet bar?
dear twelve thank you. that was driving me nuts.
I'm lvl 80 WHM with Neo-Ishgardian set. What is the next set I should get? My equipment is *472, I need *490 ;-;
different question. it seems like i’m running in to aoe with sage using the spammable nuke… but only hitting the enemy i’m targeting. like.. until i “engage” each enemy individually, my aoe doesn’t hit them? that doesn’t seem normal at all.
(zadnor fate train)
is spamming at lvl dungeons as good as running bozja for lvl 72-80?
the Sage AOE is just stupid tiny
Better if ques are quick
it's smaller than Holy by 3 yalms in radius
Finding a tank for queues is the one issue with dungeon spam
“The lobby server has encountered an error” does this mean SE is fixing their game
Hey guys, I had a question if anyone knows a discord server that is meant for gatherers/crafters in ffxiv
3.2k queue…? Yay. And I can’t get a refund for buying the windows version by accident. O well.
there's also dol/doh lounge here but the balance is better if you have actual questions
So how long should it take for me to get an item from the online store rn?
a few hours at best
24 hours at most, past that, contact support
