Oh I’m on the lodestone support page
Not sure which would be more relevant if they’re not the same
But if you can’t see it from the lodestone, then I guess it’s just not available for you and you’ll need to use email support.
heavy imp
I ll try lodestone
Maybe I ll see it
@obsidian patiocan I just dl the game and use free trial with my main accnt to see if Im on right account?

If you already bought the game then no

Was the Pod 602 mount temporary?

it’s not

Does the new shiba mount come with commands to do all those emotes?
Also, are those new clothes from The Bouncer?
Last one is more of a #archived-lore-spoilers question...
boreal storm
Also, are those new clothes from _The Bouncer_?
Those are the same glam KR got when they had 6.0 release, I have no idea what The bouncer is
vernal urchin
The Bouncer is a launch title for the PS2
It was an RPG brawling game
I believe Nomura designed the characters in that game
heavy imp
Wow ... se customer support fucking sucks
They cant even tell me which account I registered stormblood on...
to verify if its the correct account
I gave them the god damn name of my character I remember... and they even told me it doesnt exist
its been 4 years ffs... how do I remember the 2nd name
I dunno what to do guys
steel canopy
Well we need to remind you that there are many characters with the same first and last name for the most part
heavy imp
I ll have a friend check

Also this is the questions and help channel, not the rant channel
heavy imp
if a friend gives me the right name
Will they help me ?
Cause this person really didnt want to help me

If SE support can’t help you, then there’s not much we can do.

In retrospect, that may be the default location.
I've redone some parts of my HUD, and that was probably an element that I moved to make it easier to find.

just realized why, the status symbol for food is uner "status symbol (other)"

it could've occurred weeks ago.
open coral
i just got an official warning in the support desk for harassment violations on ...
You received a warning for harassment violations that occurred today, or received the warning today? Because those are two different things.
open coral
Harassment investigations typically take at least a few weeks before they sanction the player, because they want to ensure that they aren't sanctioning the wrong person or someone who didn't violate the TOS
frigid raven
well they should let me know what i said because i dont ever remember saying anything bad to anyone
open coral
It's rare that you'll be actioned immediately following a violation. That's reserved for like, if you do something wrong when a GM is standing right next to you.
They won't let you know what you said or did because they don't want to open whoever reported you to more harassment on the off chance you recall the specifics of the incident.
frigid raven
ok i can see that

This is as close to official as it gets outside of the Lodestone and in-game resources.

I did but it’s so slow, support isn’t that good for emergencies on this game
open coral
What kind of emergency?
boreal storm
Yeah not much can be done about that
Other than like deleting the accounts

That's not... an emergency. That's something that can be dealt with by the regular support, during their normal business hours.

Hacker locked them out of the accounts with a 1 time use password or something nu friend said

Your friends would need to contact support though.

you cannot make a ticket for them.

If you're on the same step, you can't accept a duplicate of the quest with a different class at the same time.

The bright side of HW is that most (if not all?) of the things you have to do with your weapon can be unsynced, and of those, quite a few can be done simply by equipping the weapon prior to leaving.

drifting lynx
Is there a way with crafting or something to dismantle unused armor ? Is it worth it ?
boreal storm
Desynth at lvl 30, not for most things
robust crow
yes, and depends what you're desynthing
drifting lynx
Some leveling gear, before my bags get full
robust crow
it is worth it most of the time if you like having a hoard of crafting mats
low level gear, largely no
but it's better than vendoring it (if you're okay with managing crafting mats)
very low level shit just desynths into mats purchaseable from NPCs anyway
higher level (30+) stuff desynth into some mats which could be useful
later on you can desynth boss drops for possible mils
drifting lynx
So, rule of thumb, lvl 30+ item are worth desynth ? And where do you learn to desynth ?
robust crow
I wouldn't really call it a rule of thumb
boreal storm
!quest gone to pieces
robust crow
a better rule of thumb is "if you were going to discard or vendor it instead, you may as well desynth"
zinc orbitBOT
!quest gone to pieces
robust crow
other gear can also be exchanged for GC seals
boreal storm
You will need every crafter at lvl 30 if you want to be able to desynth everything

not the white gear from story quests, but the green/blue/pink gear can
drifting lynx
You *will need* every crafter at lvl 30 if you want to be able to desynth everyt...

fossil trench
But make sure you're using the right essences
twilit arch
dungeons are the best way to level yes, and as you get higher in level its only natural it would take more runs per level
fossil trench
They make DR runs a lot faster
twilit arch
but if you're really not interested in doing vault 6 times, you can always use potd to level instead

nice idea. but my primary gaming time is at work and I can't run group stuff while I'm here 😛

but those wouldn't bump it up by much

though you can make more by using a craft, making just basic materials
you don't have to go real deep into learning crafting. a lot of end game crafters a very lazy and will buy bulk mats

in fact the free trial installer is exactly the same as the non-free trial installer, all it does is add a single line to a config file to say its the free trial version, so during initial setup, it allows you to bypass putting in a licensed account, and when you login with a full account, it just ignores this.
why you have to login first, is so the launcher can check what expansions you have paid for so it only downloads the packages for those expansions
twilit arch
so things like AR-Caean Velvet, and Ophiotauros Leather, etc
while likely won't go for a whole lot, can often be bought regularly enough to justify selling them

I don't think so, I have up to ShB file in the folder, that is not a thing free trial can access to, those file should not be there when my free trial can't use them
but if I upgrade from free trial to paid, the install of paid launcher is totally normal, nothing was deleted, only the reverse action cause this
maybe right now it won't delete the base game but the expansion sure to not be there anymore

and its posted every now and then, when someone upgrades from free trial to the full game, they screenshot their launcher installing another 20-25 GB of data, which is what the expansions take up

Got a machinist question
Whats the difference between dead shot and Auto crossbow? They seem to be the same attack potency, but difference is i use one when im overheated, but the other one doesnt go on cooldown.
midnight tinsel
what is dead shot ?
supple pebble
Spread shot, apologies, my brain is slightly fried.
latent sail
Skill speed
narrow jay
Auto Crossbow is your AoE Heat Blast.
latent sail
So based on speed the DPS is different
supple pebble
Gotcha, I dind't realize the speed difference.
narrow jay
You can't use Auto Crossbow (or Heat Blast) unless you hit Hypercharge, which requires you to spend 50 of your Heat Gauge.
latent sail
Yeah, but the question I saw was why use it at all :)
crude venture
how long does it take to resub?
I bought the entry subscription for 30days ~30min ago and it still wont let me log in
narrow jay
Once you hit Hypercharge, using either one dramatically reduces your GCD for a few seconds.
twilit arch
auto crossbow has slightly higher dmg despite the fact that it, on the tooltip, has same potency as spread
you have to keep in mind that overheating adds 20pot to the skill
supple pebble
Ye ye, I know that aspect of it, the attack speed im certain plays a big roll into it.
narrow jay
Releases the energy building in your firearm, causing it to become Overheated, increasing the potency of single-target weaponskills by 20.
twilit arch
er, derp that only applies to single target
supple pebble
I did not know about the overheat mechanic adding to it. :>
twilit arch
narrow jay
Auto Crossbow is not single target so that potency shouldn't apply

If you're still on spread shot you're probably not at this point yet, but for later levels generally bioblaster -> flamethrower -> autocrossbow for mob groups. And everything melts pretty reasonably. :)

Kupo error
narrow jay
If you wanted to do further math on it: assuming the base GCD (i.e. without skill speed reducing it), you can get 5 Auto Crossbows off in the same time it takes you to get 3 Spread Shots/Scatterguns.
whoops forgot the second number lol
So that's 700 total potency in the same time it would have taken to get 420 total potency (lol blaze it)

I actually got curious and as I just hit 90 on BLM last night, wanted to look at rotations that are current and found a guide on icy veins that has a few diff rotations for different scenarios, then I saw their 'opener' for trials and boss fights and the like, and maybe after smashing my face against the keyboard for a few days nonstop I might be able to retain it lol, it's pretty complex.
Much more intricate then a basic reaper open lmao
topaz veldt
Yeah takes a good chunk of practice
dusty isle
Time to hit the dummy for hours on end lmao
midnight tinsel
also i wouldnt use icy veins
as your rotation source
the best source for ffxiv is the balance discord
topaz veldt
Dummy is alright for learning your opener but sadly you're also gonna have to suck at doing actual fights for a while if you play BLM

Oh nah I'd probably go tank or reaper until I learn the fight enough to go in blind as a blm lol
Or just get stupid good with BLM lol

icyveins is fine too, but the balance is more widely used and trusted

It sets up your cooldowns for the rest of the fight, and you basically kinda repeat it for each time your main raid cooldowns are ready

Unless you're doing savage or whatever tinctures aren't relevant
Just hit a dummy for a while, it definitely helps

You get to that point eventually, once you get good at doing the basic rotation you get more confident with weaving ogcd's and all that extra stuff comes naturally

season 1 is ranked cc, do you mean the general pvp series?

So the wording is a little confusing. PvP seasons are different from PvP series. The current rewards are tied to the series, not the season. One series equals one patch. After 6.2 drops, the current rewards will be added to a separate vendor. Those rewards will stay in that vendor until patch 6.3 comes.
delicate fern
oh so the seasons are purely for ranking rewards? i believe i mean the series then, the one with the black and red armour as one of the rewards

This game's developers are very much against the idea of fear-of-missing-out
and very much about letting their players feel happy playing as much as they want to or as little as they want to
cloud vortex
I can't disagree honestly
narrow jay
The lead developer actually encourages people to let their subscriptions expire if they want to go play something else, because he thinks it's healthy to play more than a single game.
And gearing outside of current-tier high end stuff is always catch-up, so all other gear is very easy to get.
cloud vortex
By the way
Why did they choose subscription over paying to play?
By paying to play I mean buying it once
faint flare
It's both
hardy token
Why did they choose subscription over paying to play?
ongoing development?
narrow jay
Because play-to-pay creates Fear Of Missing Out
faint flare
It's the same model as wow

they're also kinda predatory to be honest
cloud vortex

at least you get better bang for your buck and don't have lootboxes - like wow.

Microtransactions yeah
narrow jay
Like, you can convert real money to both cash shop money and game money in most of those games, and then with that cash shop money you can buy all sorts of stuff to make your grind faster or more successful, and with the game money you can buy all sorts of stuff you like and don't want to farm
cloud vortex
Damn...

saved on servers
narrow jay
and it just passively pressures people to shell out money constantly

there are people in my fc that haven't logged in in 7+ years, they are still there in the fc list

Whereas here it's like
if it's in the cash shop, it's 100% cosmetic and you can't trade/resell it
faint flare
Basically Diabolo immortal but you also had to pay to play it at the start
narrow jay
and outside of that, just play as you like

There are 2 mounts that skip the grind to get a slightly faster movement speed in areas that you can still get by just playing tho, but thats it

when will they deactivate it and they will delete my charakter?
narrow jay
I mean, cash shop mounts are cash shop mounts, but you also have to both complete the basic mount quest to even use the mounts, and complete the ARR campaign to unlock flying.
narrow jay
when will they deactivate it and they will delete my charakter?
If you decide to deactivate it.
They won't make that choice for you
unless you do something heinous and get yourself banned
but that's, you know
that goes without saying
hardy token
Also if you get into a new expansion you can't fly with the cash shop mounts because they still require the overall prerequisite all mounts require to fly going into a new expansion
narrow jay
Correct. So it doesn't really bypass anything at all lol
it's just a nifty thing you can have
hardy token

Its still faster movement speed and it ramps up over time used if you never go around doing these extra things to boost your movement speed in the area by questing or whatever you gotta do for those

Is FFXIV pay to win?
faint flare
Lol no
heavy wadi

midnight tinsel

faint flare
The sub stops that being a thing
midnight tinsel
to win
steep egret
its impossible to pay for power in ff14
cloud vortex
Makes sense
steep egret
best you can do is boost a job/class to 10 levels below max level, which is nothing

What are the biggest differences between light and chaos datacenters?
Or does it not matter much
narrow jay
It does not.
faint flare
Literally identical

I'm st00pid its too ealy; can anyone explain to me what this means Sell anything on the Market Board (but you can still purchase items there).
All of the same restrictions while visiting a different server apply when on a different data center. If you’re not familiar or need a refresher, here are some of the notable things you cannot do when visiting other servers.
I thought you can't sell cross server
midnight tinsel
Your missing the part before what you copied probably
Selling i restricted
Buying isnt
narrow jay
Players sell items on the marketboard via their retainer(s). You can only sell items on your own server, so visiting another server or visiting another datacenter both mean you cannot sell items on the marketboard.
outer mural
example:
you are on zalera
wheat prices on zalera are really high
you go to balmung t o check
wheat prices on balmung are cheap
you can buy wheat from balmung
return to zalera
you can't access retainer bell in balmung so you can't sell anything
spiral inlet
oh when does the patch drop?
