Not FFXIV related begone

vernal moat
#

Waka is not in ffxiv

deft sorrel
#

No to both

vernal moat
#

Aw man

#

The first one because it is not FF or server related. The second one because it's going to be very poor quality once cropped.

i wanna ask how this got in or something

#

You'd have to ask Momo, one of the former subreddit mods

timid pilot
#

Is momo still around?

elder violet
#

Aye

fiery shuttle
#

ah

#

I believe they're still on the server, just not active

Regardless, the emoji is used quite frequently, and it was probably added way back in 2015/16.

I have a suggestion re: Trivia that I have no idea if it would be easy or even possible to implement. I like it being a thing exclusive to this server, so I'd like to suggest the option of creating "server trivia", like a separate command from the trivia from here that a server modteam can fill a database with their own trivia

maybe I'm blind but Subreddit Moderators look identical to Discord Administrators

untold sequoia
#

They're the same colour

elder violet
#

Hmm, the role colour could be changed. It's a holdover from the previous role setup since all the Discord Administrators are also Subreddit Moderators.

pearl halo
#

ah

#

maybe a different color than green or blue since people expect those colors to be able to do Discord stuff

#

different shade of orange or red?

modmail flashing constantly is driving me nuts

#

mute it

elder violet
#

It shouldn't be flashing constantly, only when a new message is sent in there.

Due to how the modmail feature currently works, modmail messages are automatically deleted but this means the channel will appear to have a new message. So, to avoid this nuisance, simply mute the channel.

fiery shuttle
#

Oh no

#

Ven looks evil

#

Cause red

oak pawn
#

thats because you spammed your no-context screenshots one too many times meowknifepeek

gusty path
#

can the jp role colour be #ec94f2

#

the difference between that and the nitro booster role is more than the difference between the current japan/undecided and the crystal role

waxen root
#

On a related note, why can't Undecided just be discord default? can't mistake a black/white username as someone who has a DC role

gusty path
#

thats what i suggested before but it was ignored lol playdead

#

but yea the goal here is just to differentiate between jp and undecided atm

fiery shuttle
#

cause its hard to keep track of the convo sometimes

#

you just wander off to it sometimes

#

i got muted with no warning yesternight sad

elder violet
#

Wandering a short way into off-topicness just sorta happens, can't predict it, not gonna bap someone for it in most cases.

Okay: A tangent into something that's not related to FFXIV, then moving to another channel before it goes on for too long or FFXIV discussion picks up.

Not okay: Hiking into off-topicness. When it's been off-topic for too long and/or members want to talk about FFXIV but don't because #general-discussion looks like #not-ffxiv-discussion for the past 30 minutes.

ornate pelican
#

The entire idea behind this rule is we want the server to be welcoming to people who want to talk about FFXIV. It can get over whelming for a newcomer when the designated space is off topic for a long time. We’d really appreciate people making an effort to try and keep on topic as much as possible or hop channels. It’s why we moved the channel up.

fiery shuttle
#

i understand but I think yesternight's mute was a bit unwarranted

cosmic drift
#

If a mod asks the chat to go back on topic, and people don't, they will receive disciplinary action.

suggestion to change happycarby to :owocarby:

elder violet
#

But what about uwucarby

scarlet kindle
#

That's clearly an uwucarby

#

Ohwait thats the actual name Eyes
Thanks mobile

#

I propose :òwócarby:

eager stone
#

Seconding faye's suggestion above to change the color name of japan. Right now (at least on my screen) japan, crystal, and undecided look similar to each other HyurSad

untold sequoia
#

I propose Dan be banned from emote naming for that horrible name

#

Do you mean japan and crystal?

tame osprey
#

Seconded

eager stone
#

I want to suggest a color but not sure what shade is okay to suggest (or which shade is forbidden)

untold sequoia
#

Because Aether is green

eager stone
#

Oh yeah crystal

elder violet
#

Actually working on that atm

#

Just trying to find an ideal colour

untold sequoia
#

Pale pink for Japan?

eager stone
#

Thank you! Glad to hear it's being worked on kupobotbow

elder violet
fiery shuttle
#

happycarby is def owocarby

#

uwucarby is properly nmed

elder violet
#

Undecided & Primal colours have also been changed slightly

#

@eager stone Sorry it's not pink, but the suggested colour was simply too similar to the Nitro role.

obsidian verge
#

how much gil to make the primal role yellow

eager stone
#

Oh it's no problem! I'm just happy we got a distinctive color now nanawhoa Thank you!

#

aw hell yes

@fiery shuttle

ty ven

untold sequoia
#

UwU thanks Mom

elder violet
#

@obsidian verge It's a shade of yellow

obsidian verge
#

close enough khloe

lethal crane
#

like i've said, pick a color per region and make each dc a hue for each

#

also using the colors of the dyes ingame might be a good idea

elder violet
#

That's a neat idea

obsidian verge
#

lets make north america yellow kappa

elder violet
#

However, that also means trying to find something that works well without having to adjust every other existing role colour

#

Or simply adjusting every existing role colour

#

Whilst having the regional role colours dissimilar enough from each other to be easily distinguishable on Light mode and Dark mode Discord

lethal crane
#

yea was just thinking about that

#

yellow in general is really bad vs light mode

gusty path
#

i dont think the tank etc roles and undecided need colours

#

and making those colourless would free up some colours imo

untold sequoia
#

Having undecided have a colour is useful for telling if someone has a role or not at a glance

elder violet
#

Adjust the DC that's already popping, but not the two that's so close you can hardly tell them apart
@gray coral

Which two?

gusty path
#

i dont see how, tbh

#

bc the default colour is also a colour

obsidian verge
#

cant you
not talk unless you have a role?

lethal crane
#

i think they're talking about crystal and one of the JP servers

untold sequoia
#

Light and Crystal

lethal crane
#

they're both similar blues

untold sequoia
#

JP was fixed

elder violet
#

Scroll up

#

It was changed

gray coral
#

I stand very much corrected

#

if light has been changed

elder violet
#

Light is pretty different from Crystal

gray coral
#

It's a bit harder to see with the text, but I'm mostly jossing

muted zealot
#

Could we have a channel specifically for BLUs? It's hard to find groups these days.

untold sequoia
mystic creek
#

Yeah crystal and light are pretty different

ionic tide
#

@muted zealot also on a personal note, people who wanted the blu mounts already have gotten them and are no longer doing them

muted zealot
#

@muted zealot also on a personal note, people who wanted the blu mounts already have gotten them and are no longer doing them
@ionic tide yeah but also, new players are still coming in, as im one of them, and not just for mounts but also for dungeon groups for ability farming?

ionic tide
#

people do dungeons as blu in pf, as for raids, you'll be out of luck

#

id talk more in here but im in fear for the mods will bap me here

elder violet
#

Nah go for it

#

@ionic tide

obsidian verge
#

i am for a blue mage channel but idk about hw much demand thered be for it

eager stone
#

Due to the population of this server consisting of many DCs, I'm not sure match ups for BLU would go well, like there's a high chance that when someone asks for help to get a skill or to run a certain dungeon/trials together, the people willing or can help might not be in the same DC as the person asking, and there might not be enough people around to help them

#

Unless we have enough people who are expert in BLUs and know an active BLU focused group in their DC that can help the new player

wise gulch
#

Im sure there are discords for that sort of thing as well as more general channels like #retired-na-datacenters
They've just never been used too actively for lfg

fiery shuttle
#

what is minimum

obsidian verge
#

wouldnt no mods imply no reshade thonk

ionic tide
#

stares in console

obsidian verge
#

yeah

mystic creek
#

Reshade isn't a mod, it doesn't modify the game

#

It tricks your game into thinking it is the driver for your graphics card, it applies effects and sends to the real driver

obsidian verge
#

its not a mod it just modifies your game kappa

safe mural
#

It significantly modifies the player's game experience via software. By many people's definitions, this would be a mod. Going further into the semantics is rather pointless and doesn't matter. However, in the context of the rules written there it's fully obvious what is meant.

mystic creek
#

Fair enough

ornate pelican
#

I believe it’s intended no reshade for this contest but I’m not involved.

deft sorrel
#

Imho I don't consider reshade a true mod since all it does is apply photo effects. Stating that keeping reshade to a minimum definitely implied that it is permitted, but I don't expect much from people who barely made it out of high school. Certain reshade effects do what gpose does, better. The request to keep them to a minimum is to make the contest fairer for PS4 players, yes, but it's also there so the judges can see what the hell you're wearing. Some people don't understand restraint.

obsidian verge
#

well thats needlessly passive aggressive

modern jacinth
#

an example of a good reshade look and a bad one.

long story short if it looks like there's reshade it's probably going straight to the fishy bin

Account Security
Info

Here are some tips to make sure your Square Enix account is as secure as possible.

  • Use a strong, unique password
  • Enable two-factor authentication
  • Do not share your account details
  • Do not use a vulnerable internet connection or computer
  • Do not openly share your system information

More information can be found on the security wiki page

On that phishing website, it can still fake 2fa login, so they are able to log on it.

Why would you purposely visit that site

Oh, I didn't mind if it wasn't anonymous as that was also said in the public feedback channel, but will remember for future reference 😄

obsidian verge
#

i mean i think a cooldown is a bad idea cause that prohibits discissions on whether or not someones suggestion is
yknow
discussed

turbid kayak
#

One minute isnt a long time. And this place isnt crowded. So they wont miss your feedback

timid heron
#

i dont think slowdown really helps. the only people who flood this chat without it being part of the discussion are mods

cosmic drift
#

On the contrary, imposing a slowmode will allow for people to have time to craft more intricate and thorough responses. If people were to have freeform discussions in here, the actual feedback can quickly get lost and become difficult for us to find. If one has more to add to their feedback after they post to it, they can edit their original submission as well during the cooldown.

obsidian verge
#

sure but it seems like an unnecessary precaution

half vigil
#

maybe 30 seconds instead of 1 minute? it seems like 30 might be short enough that its not grating to wait, but still long enough to help someone think and type a more elaborate response?

cosmic drift
#

I will also go on record stating that those that are found to be ably bypassing the slowmode restriction without reason will be dealt with.

timid heron
#

30 seconds might be less annoying yeah

vernal moat
#

I assumed a mod said something that prompted this change

elder violet
#

Inappropriate behaviour from a Discord Moderator and unnecessary messages from other members. @vernal moat

turbid kayak
#

Imo, I dont think there is any reason to have it less than 1 minute. You already see the messages, and for example now, it has even already gone over one minute.

Since you shouldn't have big arguments here either, since it's for feedback.

#

Not for creating drama in this specific channel

smoky bridge
soft lotus
#

The memes channel is deliberately in a prominent spot, it serves as a kind of shitposting dam for the other channels. If we moved it back down, there'd be more images posted in the other channels disrupting ongoing conversation

tame relic
#

so i was looking at the banned words list and i was thinking there are a few that could be added. like "nazi", "nazism", "commie", "communism", "fascism", "fascist", "antifa", and other politically charged statements/snarl words. also, the second word on that list is a very common word in spanish

untold sequoia
#

You mean the 3rd one?

tame relic
#

yeah. well the third entry

untold sequoia
#

Unfortunately we can't just take off an offensive English word because its a normal word in Spanish

deft sorrel
#

All those words currently alert us when used. Also, you should be using English on this server. So the relevance of another word in another language does not apply here.

tame relic
#

oh. isn't that a little racist to only allow people to speak english

untold sequoia
#

We don't have a large enough Spanish speaking userbase to warrant such a change

#

Unfortunately letting people use that word itself is racist

modest ruin
#

the majority of the user base speaks English, we do allow people to speak jp too

tame relic
#

in the exclusive context of english-speaking americans, yes.

untold sequoia
#

We won't be removing it from the hard filter

modest ruin
#

we just don't have a large enough population of the other languages and at the moment we wouldn't be able to mod it due to language differences

untold sequoia
#

If people genuinely meant to use it as its Spanish meaning, then we'll explain why its banned and send them on their way

tame relic
#

i have spanish-speaking friends who have actually gotten auto-banned from games and stuff, like, for example, in rainbow six saying "he's behind the black couch" in spanish

untold sequoia
#

But we can't in good conscience allow a racist term to be used on this server

#

What happened in Rainbow Six has no baring on this server

oak pawn
#

Also bans here are not automatically done

tame relic
#

yeah. but if someone shows up here and decides to speak spanish they could be auto-banned or muted just for saying something completely normal, idk. it just seems like an issue that could happen

untold sequoia
#

There is no auto banning in this server

modest ruin
#

all bans and mutes are manual

untold sequoia
#

Every ban has to be issued by a mod

oak pawn
#

If someone decides to speak another language in a public channel, we will remind them to please switch back to english. Thats all

tame relic
#

all bans and mutes are manual
yeah that's fair i guess

Fixed. Eanae has to do it.

#

It's named that way with Kupo's role assignment programming.

ornate pelican
#

If you change the name it breaks the bot

deft sorrel
#

Aye. It's not "discord doesn't allow that". It's Kupo going "I can't allow that Hal" and then we all panic because Kupo became sentient.

#

kupo bot breaks roles when changing role name? thats a weird feature. thought the roles would have been linked with id's

ornate pelican
#

It is linked by ID for the reaction but then he reads the name to find the role in the server.

mystic creek
#

shouldn't it just use id for that too paissa_think

ornate pelican
#

I didn’t want to get crazy with the ID mapping when I made it because Kupo was already struggling back then. Could probably revisit it now that he’s on a more powerful server.

I've thought about this as an idea for a while, forgive me if it's been considered already or isn't a good idea etc, but I kinda feel like it could be helpful. Has it been thought of doing the opposite of a rant channel? Like, keep the rant channel of course, but also have a channel exclusively for the feelgood things of ffxiv, especially in regards to other players or actions of people in the community in general (since game features would maybe be mentioned repeatedly). A channel for posting things like really nice PUG groups helping each other and such. IK we could totally reasonably post that stuff in general chat, but speaking for myself (selfishly tbh), I'd want a channel like this so that I could go an read all the good things happening in the game, whenever I'm feeling deppressed about the state it's in or people in it etc- and it's hard to do that as-is. And I think it would act as a nice foil to balance out the rant channel, adding positivity. Mind, I definetly recognize I'm asking this mostly for myself, but I feel like others may want it but hadn't thought of it as an option, which is why I bring it up- if I thought I was the only one who could care about this I totally wouldn't mention it. Feel free too shoot this down immediately- I've kind of been nervous to bring it up in the event it sounded too selfish or dumb, but for the chance that it isn't I thought I'd throw it out here.

gray bane
#

imo that would be a good idea, bc while we do get shitters from time to time, we also just get nice and good people that we just wanna talk about, or something cool that happened

like I could talk about the e8n run in #general-discussion that I just had and be happy about how I remembered the fight well enough to beat it, but I feel like the only place I could really do that is in #rants
I feel like they could also rebrand the channel in a sense, to include positive rants too? because I'm sure that the mods don't want another channel to mod, and I already see people here using it to have "positive rants"
however I can see people getting weirded out by both the positivity and negativity being in the same channel

eager stone
#

We could definitely use some positivity, I think. It would give people a better impression for FFXIV too, and help players who have been running into toxic players remember that there's some good in the player base still.

I also agree on rebranding the channel like Seenoc said f you guys want to go forward with Drake's idea. Maybe make it #game-experience, #df-tales, #ffxiv-story, or anything else

obsidian verge
pearl halo
#

^, I kind of think that too while we're on the topic. I mean, rants has more (often negative) rants, and FFXIV discussion has less rants, but it does seem like, just from my short time here, they'd nearly be one in the same in a few months to a year. And if, in that event, we just got rid of the rants channel and let rants be in general, then the need for a more positive channel would be even greater

#

The other thing is, I have seen a not insignificant number of people say they believe FFXIV has one of the best communities around... But if I heard that as a new player and hopped strait in here without playing the game (since I have played the game this isnt the case), I'm pretty sure I'd think that was either a strait lie or a rememberance of the past or something

#

And it's not that I think this server is negative, just that a little push towards positivity (such as a channel purely for positive things) would balance the scales

#

I didn't want to voice all of that in detail without knowing if others agreed with the basic concept tho, since for all I knew it wasjust my view of things. (Sorry if I'm typing a little too much, but I'm really bad at pairing it down lol)

elder violet
#

Don't worry about typing too much.

It's actually helpful to us by explaining the reasoning behind your suggestions!

As for the suggestion though, we've talked about it a little bit and are a bit split on it. The merit of have a channel specifically for wholesome rants as opposed to negative ones is definitely there, but it also presents a good opportunity for those who see it as a lucrative opportunity to simply troll.

pearl halo
#

If you'll allow me to attempt a suggestion to fix that problem (it is technically your job, so I wouldn't want to intrude, but it's also my idea).

The easiest way to help prevent trolling- implement a slow mode. For the purposes of the channel, at least in my mind, this wouldn't be an issue;

It could be more like a gallery of all the good things that have happened.
Second, this could potentially push people to discuss any big positive things in general chat. Normally chat bleeding like that is a bad thing, but if the purpose of this would be to increase positivity everywhere but #rants , I'd think it a boon.

(All I have atm, but I'll try to think more on it)

#

A more extreme option could also be making it more likea contest- have people submit positive things to a mod(s), with evidence, and then the mods post it. The only way to react directly in chat would be to use emote reactions. This would be much more work tho, so perhaps it could be a once a month thing or something, though IO do think it could have a great impact

#

IMO, unlike rants or general discussion, positive things don't need nearly as direct, clear, and imediate feedback- the fact that it happened at all is feedback enough for the short term (general discussion again helps for anything else). Though, I'm far from an expert on this XD

#

TLDR- as long as this theoretical channel can elicit positive reactions in people, it would work IMO- and I don't mean reactions in the chat. All I'd think you need would be an IRL smile, an irl laugh, etc. even a bi-monthly event with like, 10 positive things on it would be a huge upgrade (to me, anyway)

mystic creek
#

I think that this is a wholesome idea. It actually gave me a smile reading "you need would be a irl smile". Trolling is a possibility in any channel, I worried about it with #glamour-discussion but we haven't really seen that there. Even a small bit of feel good can go a long way in the dark times we all have to deal with currently, why not just see how it works. I believe it'll workout.

vernal moat
#

So I’ve noticed how kupo bot will occasionally say something in #questions-and-help and will let us know when the daily reset is in #general-discussion
Is it possible for Kupo bot to periodically post the rules in #general-discussion
I know for one I sometimes forget the rules and when saying something and I think a 30 minute reminder would go a long way

Types of Worlds
Info

Standard: This World has an average amount of players. Standard Worlds have no bonuses or long-term restrictions active.

Preferred: This World has a lower than average amount of players. Marked with a star, Preferred Worlds grant new characters a +100% experience boost for every class to level 70 for at least 90 days, 10 Silver Chocobo Feathers to spend on gear at the Calamity Salvager, and a one-time deal of 15 days of free subscription for hitting level 30.

Congested: This World has an overabundance of players. Congested Worlds are completely locked off from new characters and Home World transfers.

New: This World has been recently added to the game and has a low amount of players. Along with the incentives that Preferred Worlds have, New Worlds will also give players who hit level 30 one million Gil once per datacenter. Home World Transfers to New Worlds are free of charge.

Legacy: This World has existed since 1.0. Legacy Worlds have no bonus of their own and can be Standard/Preferred/Congested.

The glamour contest is a good idea. The rules was simple to understand and fair but I feel like there are better ways to make it a better experience for everyone participating:

  1. No theme is nice for the first run of the contest. But I feel a theme would be better next time. This encourages people to get out of their usual glamming habits and try to be creative to create something around a theme
  2. I feel the voting system is unfair and downvotes very much so discouraging. I feel like a scoring system in place would have been better based on different criterion to give feedback on what kinds of stuff the judges are looking for. Like for example based on Originality, Adherence to theme, Execution, Color combination etc.
#
  1. I'm not sure about this suggestion but maybe make a winner for a special awards or something. Like FFxiv redditcord's communities Vote (vote open to everyone here), most original glam, best combination.

I gathered some of these suggestions from the discussion in #glamour-discussion

eager stone
#

I voiced this in #glamour-discussion and was told to say it here so it's easier to look back. Some personal suggestions for the next glamour contest:

① Someone suggested out No Reshade rule and I would support this to make it fairer for ps4 players
② Considering not every player might not use gpose often but still interested in joining the contest (or if they're new), maybe have a simple guide on how to take a good gpose photo?
③ I think it would be helpful to state in the rules on what criteria/standards you guys have for the glamour entries (ex. not using a full set, not using one color only)
④ If there are enough entries, maybe have a honorary category for glamours that didn't win but did good on one aspect? For example, "best color coordination" etc. While it's up to you guys if these categories deserve a reward as well, I think just praising what they did good at would help boost confidence and make up the effort they did in the glam

oak pawn
#

For 1) i can already tell you that we have actually already been thinking around with Themes to go for, for future contests. So thats something that will most likely happen

untold sequoia
#

As this was the first event we didn't want to out too many restrictions in order to make it easily accessible and gauge interest, but we will be doing themes from now on

fiery shuttle
#

Oh yeah add the rule to name the glam if you have a name for it might be good or not

untold sequoia
#

And on the topic of the voting system, we'll look over other ways to handle it, though from now on the votes will not be public

#

We also have the theme set for our next event but if anyone has any suggestions feel free to share them

ionic tide
#

are the winner roles permanent?

untold sequoia
#

No

obsidian verge
#

i think the first theme should be cosplay just so no one wins because someones dressed like a character a bunch of the judges like again
bit unoriginal innit

untold sequoia
#

Due to the nature of having multiple events planned, it would bloat the role too quickly if it was permanent

nocturne scarab
#

Can we get Blue Mage channel and role?

turbid kayak
#

How bloated would it be to just keep one category of roles, like
"Glamour Winner" or something like that, for the same multiple glamour events. Unless there will be multiple other events that might also bloat stuff.

and probably one temporary role that only lasts till next event, that shows you won the previous event

gusty raptor
#

Is there a specific sub channel / sub forum to ask about crafting?

elder violet
#

Can we get Blue Mage channel and role?
@nocturne scarab

I'd like to add one, but it really depends on how much it gets used. We don't want to add a channel, see it get used for a little while, and then have it slowly die.

At the start of next month a few inactive channels will disappear and potentially be merged into others to reduce the overall bloat.

Re: Glamour Contest, this is a bit, sorry in advance. I also woke up 5 minutes ago so... yeah.

1 - As many have suggested, including other judges, remove the downvote system. When judging a lot of the "down" was more so not "this is bad" but "I'm indifferent on this." A lot of them weren't terrible but just weren't standing out.
2 - I mentioned themes in the judges chat, and it has been reiterated that future iterations would have themes, but in addition to this to play a bit on @eager stone's and @Refia's idea, categories should be apart of the main contest and compose the winners. This would make voting much more meaningful since it becomes "I vote for this because I like..." rather this "this glamour ok 👌."
3 - Gpose emotes and reshade (including the 5,583 flavors of it) should be banned. In a lot of cases the emotes and animations made it difficult to judge the glamour. This was a glamour contest and not a screenshot contest. With that said, I do think a screenshot contest is a good idea as I mentioned before. However it would need PS4 and PC entries seperated for fairness.
4 - Themes, I know we've said before but, I think they're important to reiterate. I did suggest a few that are a bit more original than just "cosplay characters" or "edgy shadowbringer". Things like "Night out in Limsa", "Ready for an adventure", "Date night". Additionally, like categories, I think there could be multiple themes in the contest and the player chooses which to submit to. The reason for not limiting to a single theme is to allow for players to pick a theme which best fits their character's apperance and personal strengths in glamour design. Not everyone for example is going to be like "oh Date night theme is for me and my character" while "ready for adventure" is more their theme.

#

@eager stone

② Considering not every player might not use gpose often but still interested in joining the contest (or if they're new), maybe have a simple guide on how to take a good gpose photo?
I had thought about this as did another judge, but it didn't seem like a favored idea so it wasn't produced. However, I do think in the future this could be good but noting the restrictions I suggest on emotes, the main focus of it would be ensuring lighting- a common issue we noted: we couldn't see the glamours because it was too dark.

All in all I think a lot was learned from this first run. I think it was a fun experience to parttake in and look forward to the next.

deft sorrel
#

The voting system will remain in contests, although the downvote function will be discarded due to it not being used appropriately. Voting will also be kept private due to the behavior of certain people after results were announced previously. We nearly had to issue warnings.

#

The next contest is tenuously planned to have a seasonal theme.

#

The Winner's Circle role is temporary. It will be surrendered at the end of the next contest and given to the new winners, so if you wanna keep it, you'll need to stay on top of your game.

#

A short list of things that got glamours discarded:
Mono-coloured glams were a big one. We get it, you like red. But it lacks creativity.

Wearing a full related gear set. That's just plain laziness.

Poor lighting and/or camera work. I can't judge your outfit if I can't see it, or it's too far from the camera.

what did you mean by gpose emotes exactly, teddy
bc I wouldn't mind a rule about only idle animations

Emotes used and frozen in gpose.

Generally I want no part in these contests but I can help make it better

Positive glam contest feedback!

  • Generally, I think the contest was well-run. Most of the major negatives people had (like negative votes/no theme) are already being addressed.
  • No/low reshade rule is great. I'd even go as far as to say that really obvious reshade should be an explicit negative/disqualification (there were a couple high-rated submissions that had that overly-shaded sort of pastel effect), but I recognize that that's pretty subjective. I liked the specific preset requirement in the original rules, and maybe going a bit looser but having one that's strongly suggested (or even a custom one posted in the contest rules) is a good move.
  • Explicit focus on outfit over anything else. Yes, yes, yes! I was very pleasantly surprised by this, as the glam subreddit and eorzea collection are largely dominated by heavy shaders, dutch angle, can't even see what you're wearing. I don't think a restriction on where/what the background can be is necessary, but I do think this rule is absolutely essential for making it a glam contest and not a screenshot contest.
  • Downvotes aside (and that's been taken care of), the judging method was good. Multiple winners, male and female categories, no horny, just upvote something if you love it. Honorary mentions would be cool to see, but I don't think they necessarily need to be stated up front. Like if someone makes an actually incredible mono-black glam, throw them a "Goes With Everything Award for a black outfit that actually impressed us" but don't encourage people to follow anything except the main theme.
  • I also liked being able to see the general rating of every entry, and it gives people something to work off of. It's impossible to tell if you even got a second glace when the only feedback you get is if you won or not. But if that caused problems for some people, I understand why it might have to go.

Hello~ I found the role selection thing again today, and realized there were ones for the in-game roles, and I had only set my data center previously. So I tried to give myself the roles, and they all worked except caster. The caster reaction button isn't giving me the caster role. I don't get the notification from the kupo bot, nor do I get access to the caster lounge.

TBH, come to think of it that might be another use for a "positivity" channel- not just for the game, but the server itself. I mean, I'm far from a mod or even server veteran, but I'd be surprised if the large majority of feedback the server owners/mod team etc get is positive. Like, sure positive things are said, but I don't think ppl in general (here or anywhere else) will often go out of their way to do what @pearl halo did there- it's just kinda assumed that good things exist or whatever xD

Some more feedback on the glamour contest:

  • Love the idea of it! It's always fun to not only throw your own glamour ideas out there but also to see what others come up with. There are some incredibly creative and knowledgeable people out there with some amazing ideas.

  • Execution. My main suggestion is for the process of judging future events, and it touches on a couple of ideas that have already been raised: Criteria.

I think it would be very helpful to both judges and entrants to have a set list of criteria the submission will be judged on. That way everyone knows what they're being assessed on, and the judges have an easier time of judging.

As an example: originality, use of colour, cohesion and theme could all be rated on a 1-10 scale to give a total score. This also ties in with the idea of having category winners.

  • Rules. I think the rules were spot on - no mogstation and limited/no reshade (I'd probably lean towards no) makes it as even a playing field as possible. No horny glam I think should definitely stay a rule. GShade and backgrounds I have no skill or experience with, so I don't know enough to have an opinion either way.

  • Results. I actually like the idea of releasing the results so people can see how they went on each criteria and overall. Negative votes I think was the only reason it didn't go down well this time.

  • Feedback. This one I'm not sure is even feasible given the number of submissions. I know my glamour skills personally are abysmal, so if there is the capacity for feedback while judging each entry that would help to raise the bar in each successive event. At the same time I know that the judges are all volunteering their time as it is, so I doubt this is possible.

wise gulch
#

I definitely think we will be touching on all of those points in the future. The format of having to give a negative vote to most things that arguably werent that bad left a sour taste for many people.

Personally I can attest that I didn't dislike any of the posts. But I gave negative marks for things like poor photo composition/ uninspired sets/ weapons covering the armor etc etc.

I do think a standardized reshade preset decided as a community or having it outright banned would be fair for the most people.

Maybe we can get a primer together on how to take good images so submissions have a better chance. Plenty of info out there on eorzea collection and gposers for example.

Btw I'm using "we" loosely. Not all the staff wants to be involved and im sure more community members will be rotated in and out so we get fresh perspectives.

Overall I think it was a very fun event and I enjoyed myself. I look forward to the next one either as a participant or a judge meolgamer

Endgame mentor requires ultimate clears and a 95th percentile parse

@vernal moat the textools discord has all of that and would be a significantly better source. #ffxiv-screenshots has a link to a general use Reshade if you want that.

Tech Mentor needs to be recommended and then vetted by our current Tech Mentor and Eanae. Endgame Mentors need to have ultimate clears, and relatively high parses across the raid tier. PvP mentors need to have high win rates in the Feast.

Any chance we could get an automated message similar to the one in the questions channel in #glamour-discussion? Something saying its not just a kupo bot spam channel for equipment or a screenshots channel lmao

karmic sierra
#

I actually have a legit question regarding #glamour-discussion. What is it actually used for? I've seen people use it to look for glams only to be told to go to kupo bot spam, and screenshots of glams they made only to be told to go to screenshots. So what's it's actual purpose?

mystic creek
#

I quote "Use this channel to discuss glamour creations, get suggestions, and give critique."

pearl halo
#

Emphasis on "discuss"

mystic creek
#

Yeah people dropping screenshots almost never ask for anything, never try to make a conversation, they're just posting a screenshot to post a screenshot, with no intention for otherwise. If you are trying to preview items and spamming the bot, it makes more sense to use bot spam. But its common use is people asking for tips and suggestions on glamour.

pearl halo
#

Maybe glamour-discussion would be a more accurate name for the channel?

karmic sierra
#

Ok, i was legit curious and even went through a lot of the glamour channel, looking for pins or anything on intended use and only pin I saw was from you Teddy saying it was your home. And not much else about its purpose, seeing as early on there were a lot of screens.

But i can understand the part on screenshots well enough.

Id agree there with Grein if discussion is what it's supposed to be for.

Maybe have something for users to use kupobot to look at glams outside of the bot spam? Sometimes it moves a little to quickly there especially when trying to compare equipment

mystic creek
#

It is my home rooHeart but the part I quoted is from the channel topic, which on Desktop appears at the top of the channel when you're in it, or the right tab on Android (idk about iOS). I don't think the name change is really needed but I mean it wouldn't hurt I suppose.

umbral fog
#

there's nothing wrong with using the !iglam command as part of the conversation. But if all you're doing is using it to preview multiple items without asking anything, then that should be put into #kupo-bot-spam, not #glamour-discussion

@vernal moat if you are really want to check if you don't have that malware, go to

untold sequoia

It wasn't a solution, people would just ask in #questions-and-help instead even when #gold-saucer existed, the main thing people used the channel for was the fashion report command

it still was plenty useful for anyone who doesn't use reddit or knows where he can find his info resources. (like me)

It still doesn't warrant keeping the channel for the 1-2 users that would actually use it for anything other than the fashion report command.
There were several weeks that went by without anyone talking in there other than FR

That's why the decision has been made to remove it. #questions-and-help will serve for that purpose now

This will just prompt secondary servers to appear for actual newbies(needing guides and information), while this becomes just a server for chatting, with a high member count.

That's not really a thing we'd do, and there isn't really much interest in it here either, as we're more of a community discord and it's primarly the Balance discord that focuses on teaching job basics and optimization. A lot, if not all, of job resource channels there have visual/video resources you can look at as well as a lot of experienced job mentors/helpers that can answer job specific questions that you feel are beyond the scope of #questions-and-help or the new player mentors here.

ornate pelican

We’re trying to slowly move away from the “go to the Balance” reasoning. We aren’t going to like completely try and jump in their space and we aren’t there yet. But eventually I would like to have this server be a better space for intermediate and above players. Currently we serve new players very well I think and it’s only natural we try and expand that a bit upwards in skill levels.

#

So: you could ask balance mentors for those for now and they could be added to Kupo FAQs possibly but one day I do want this server to be able to provide that kind of information naturally.

like, I acknowledge sometimes i'm guilty of letting a question /answer turn into a discussion, but a lot of the time it's within a reasonable limit of short discourse for what can/should follow a question and an answer, and the amount of people who literally aren't mods in there that'll interrupt with tagging #general-discussion is frankly annoying and essentially a derailment, and also nearly always happens when there's not even other questions being asked simultaneously to be getting in the way of. Put simply, it's starting to disincentivize me from wanting to participate there both asking and answering questions and the less people who want to answer, the less effective the channel is as a resource for people.

Am I the only one who feels this way or what?

elder violet
#

If someone is backseat moderating, as in they are unreasonably instructing others to do something or otherwise behaving like a moderator when they aren't, let us know and mention the mod role (or DM us).

To be frank, that channel is strictly for questions and help regarding FFXIV. When a question turns into a lengthy conversation about something that may or may not have any relation to any previous question or request for help with FFXIV, i.e. an unreasonable amount of discourse, it's time to move to a more appropriate channel. It's off-putting to others that are probably waiting patiently to ask something without interrupting, and detrimental to the overall health and focus of the channel, especially when a lot of users are active within the server/channel and questions are being answered at lightning fast speeds.

Similarly, it's off-putting and irritating to link to other channels with the not-so-subtle hint that the discussion should be moved elsewhere. It's appropriate when it's obvious a discussion has gone on for too long; helping us keep the channels healthy for others is great. But otherwise, please don't do that.

Seems to be an interesting behavior with Kupo Bot regarding actions that require a resource that is not MP. Ninjutsu say (496 None), Afflatus Solace says (1 None), Foul says (1 None), Hissatsu: Kaiten says (20 None), etc. Aetherflow abilities also similarly cost 1 None. Just for some examples I happened to find. Not a huge deal but not sure if known so wanted to mention (especially with regards to ninjutsu since 496 is a bit of an odd one)

If I post in #art because someone drew my ffxiv character, am I allowed to plug said Artist and more specifically their commissions?

#

There is a very strict "no advertisement" rule.
so it might be fine to post, for example, their twitter profile or the post they made with your art, but not a direct link to their comissions etc

cosmic drift
#

If people want to browse an artist’s commissions, a link to their social media will likely be more than enough for them to begin their research

  1. Steam launcher integration update
  2. Steam and windows expansions are not interchangeable, buy the expansions for your base platform
  3. Use SteamEdit to remove -issteam argument to play with your windows subscription via steam
  4. You do not need to uninstall ffxiv if you have either the steam or windows version when you want to swap.

Yeah, but as a link in the subreddit, with info like the auto message.

Sorry but there isn't one, and likely won't be unless it's added to the subreddit wiki (which can be edited and added to by anyone).

Then it'd be available as a URL that can be linked to.

Hi, does anyone know how Kupo Bot was set up to auto-post lodestone news?

pearl halo
#

Would it be this you're looking for?

shy thistle
#

Not quite - it doesn't state how to set up the auto-posting. Just says to update it.

cloud cape
#

if you mean how to get kupo to post it to your discord then you just go to #lodestone-news-na and click follow

pearl halo
#

shy thistle
#

Oh o.o thank you!

cloud cape
#

not every post gets forwarded to following discords though i don't think? since there's some hard discord-set limit on publishing messages, like #translations-and-liveletters only publishes the start of a liveletter translation etc, not sure tho GWcmeisterPeepoShrug need kupo bot wizard input

Up to 10 messages get forwarded per hour

Rotation should be allowed.. but at the same time
I'm not actually sure how you're going to naturally get a rotated screenshot? Like 'must have the final fantasy watermark' is pretty self-explanatory, which means in-game-taken screenshots.

untold sequoia
#

GPose has a built in rotate function

plain arch
#

Hmm. Was unaware of that. Gpose isn't my forte.
Personally I'm a little on the fence, on the grounds it feels unnecessary outside of picking up really minor details on armor.

#

To clarify:
I'm not saying it's unfair, so to speak, as basically anyone can do it with very little effort
More it's just flat-out unneeded, as it only gives very tiny gain in the end. Like the amount of extra detail you're going to be adding in like that can be summed up as basically a few extra pixels. It's an unnecessary amount of work that isn't going to change much. Save yourself the time; I wouldn't consider it worth it.

That's my two cents, anyways.

untold sequoia

It cuts out unnecessary detail and keeps the focus on the glamour itself

How do I get Kupo bot working?

#

Every time I enter a item for the marker command it says item not found

half vigil
#

for the market?

#

make sure you include the datacenter or the world you want to search for the market before you put the item name like this !market <datacenter/world> <item>

Is there somewhere I can read about Kupo bot commands and stuff?

I didn't see any harm in leaving them on. That's not how they're going to be voted on anyway. A better question would be "why did Rump react to every single submission?"

vernal moat

Jesus Rump did

#

because i saw that there were reactions on two submissions and i didnt think it was fair for some people to have them while most didnt so i gave the same reaction to everybody

What does it mean when Kupo bot command !whoami leads to showing that my character can be verified with !iam verify and sends me a DM with a code - not sure what to do with it?

untold sequoia
#

Edit your lodestone profile and add the code to it

#

Click the pencil icon at the bottom then add the code

shy thistle
#

Okay, I did. Thanks.

tulip lava
#

The link to edit your profile should have been included in the DM as well (:

It wasn't in the DM when I did it; it was in the channel message

I think it would be great if the instructions for adding it to the profile and then running the verification again were in the message

hey, just to ask, does this also cover just shaders/higher quality textures? I havent modded before but was looking into it cuz they can look pretty, just dont wanna ask for recs if I do decide to and break rules here

ornate pelican
#

Should be fine to ask about shaders. Most people openly use them. Do so at your own risk. They are against TOS.

austere shell
#

ah okay, thanks

I think it would be great if the instructions for adding it to the profile and then running the verification again were in the message

A question about the #730862043376123966 - Are the items you get from continual subscription okay for use?

Yes

Time can be a notoriously fickle beast. Those issues should be fully resolved now, there's a couple cosmetic tweaks in the pipeline but the rest of it should be sorted

lavish delta
#

Any particular reason the !iam verify command is disabled in DMs?

ornate pelican
#

Because it’s directly tied to FC authentication which needs to be done in a server.

untold sequoia
#

There is no easy way to find a proper FC without joining a bunch and finding which one works, and what works for one play might not work for another, so its difficult to make a one size fits all guide. If people are looking for a specific type of FC, they can use the recruitment channels here or on other servers, or use the subreddit

timid pilot
#

Not all FC websites work the same though, If you mean ones made by the free company itself.

wise gulch
#

I tihnk he means the process of finding the FC card and literally sending an application.

timid pilot
#

You can't do that through the Lodestone. The lodestone is purely for seeing other FCs and their ranking for the most part. You'd have to find one of the FC members in-game or go to their house (if they have one) to send in an application.

untold sequoia
#

Its just not worth making an FAQ for something like that

turbid kayak
#

You don't need a FAQ to access the FC menu.

#

If you already have the text, then present it. It's not 100% clear on what exactly you want to be in the faq.

Find a Free Company 101

In FFXIV, a Free Company is a group of players usually known in other games as a Guild or Clan. It's commonly referred to as an FC.

A new player will often find themselves receiving invites to FCs, but how often this happens (if it happens at all) is dependant on when they are active compared to peak playtime (when a lot of other players are online) or what region/server they play on. However, it's often the case that the FC isn't suited to them. Here are some tips for finding an FC:

Use The Lodestone

The Lodestone has a Free Company Search feature with many options. You can also find a Free Company Standings page on the Lodestone; it's a leader board that can help determine how active an FC is during a certain period.

Use Reddit or Discord

The r/ffxivrecruitment subreddit has been around for a long time and is a reliable way of finding a Free Company to join. Quite a few popular Discord servers exist with varying focus: Regional, content types, general: Visit this wiki page for more information.

Use in-game methods

If you're not too fussed what kind of Free Company you join it's recommended to use the in-game Party Finder or chat such as /shout or /yell in popular player hubs to advertise your intent.

Join a Free Company

You can apply by contacting the FC directly with contact information they've supplied, or in-game by right-clicking on a player and selecting View company profile

No, it was added today.

Unfortunately there is a character limit to the FAQs, which the FAQ hits

#

1900

#

Also the FAQ isn't including all the backend characters, which are counted but not displayed

#

No like formatting characters

timid pilot
#

the links for example, also stuff like making characters italicized/bold.

untold sequoia
#

You'd have to save more characters than just the links

#

The FAQ is right on the cusp of the limit

timid pilot
#

We want to make faqs as simple and accessible as possible. Having to direct people to an album of images can easily turn people away.

elder violet
#

As well as shortening official links.

#

SE has their own URL shortener, sqex.to. When that hasn't been used, I'd prefer that official links are not shortened using 3rd party websites.

untold sequoia
#

I don't think we need more steps for applying to FCs using the Lodestone, all the information needed is either in the FAQ, or self explanatory

#

We'll discuss it
