Not FFXIV related begone
Waka is not in ffxiv
No to both
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.
Ok
To open a ticket use: !modmail openticket <message>
Although it looks like KupoBot is still down so you'll have to wait for that
Disabling it for now due to a database issue.
Modmail is now enabled again
You'd have to ask Momo, one of the former subreddit mods
Is momo still around?
Aye
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.
It's splat tim
Momo doesn't want talk to humans, he's shitpost god now.
thats not a lot of shitposts for a shitpost god 🤔
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
though I guess there are bots made specifically for that huh, nevermind
And what shall it be called?
uhhhhhhhhh
pain
Really?
boutta find out

it was @eager stones idea ask them
:lalathink:
but shes miqo
Wait really?
baby miqo
this
I was going to recommend :khlowut: but this is good too

maybe I'm blind but Subreddit Moderators look identical to Discord Administrators
often see people getting confused about it in #general-discussion
They're the same colour
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.
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?

Meanwhile that one person still using the light theme is screaming

They deserve it
It actually looks good
It's gone through a few colors since that was posted heh
I'm now pink and everything is okay
I have gone blind.
Discord light theme
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
The color actually doesn't look that great on dark theme
maybe just me but it looks a little off fontwise with that color
I like it
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.
thats because you spammed your no-context screenshots one too many times 
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
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
thats what i suggested before but it was ignored lol 
but yea the goal here is just to differentiate between jp and undecided atm
is there any warning to being offtopic in #general-discussion before getting muted?
cause its hard to keep track of the convo sometimes
you just wander off to it sometimes
i got muted with no warning yesternight 
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.
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.
i understand but I think yesternight's mute was a bit unwarranted
If a mod asks the chat to go back on topic, and people don't, they will receive disciplinary action.
suggestion to change
to :owocarby:
But what about 
That's clearly an uwucarby
Ohwait thats the actual name 
Thanks mobile
I propose :òwócarby:
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 
I propose Dan be banned from emote naming for that horrible name
Do you mean japan and crystal?
Seconded
I want to suggest a color but not sure what shade is okay to suggest (or which shade is forbidden)
Because Aether is green
Oh yeah crystal
Pale pink for Japan?
Thank you! Glad to hear it's being worked on 
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.
how much gil to make the primal role yellow
Oh it's no problem! I'm just happy we got a distinctive color now
Thank you!
@obsidian verge At least 3, to make Primal pee colored
aw hell yes
UwU thanks Mom
close enough 
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
That's a neat idea
lets make north america yellow 
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
i dont think the tank etc roles and undecided need colours
and making those colourless would free up some colours imo
Having undecided have a colour is useful for telling if someone has a role or not at a glance
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?
cant you
not talk unless you have a role?
i think they're talking about crystal and one of the JP servers
Light and Crystal
they're both similar blues
JP was fixed
It's a bit harder to see with the text, but I'm mostly jossing
Could we have a channel specifically for BLUs? It's hard to find groups these days.
You're better off using either the in game Party Finder, or #603040914096783371
Yeah crystal and light are pretty different
@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 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?
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
i am for a blue mage channel but idk about hw much demand thered be for it
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
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
wouldnt no mods imply no reshade 
stares in console
yeah
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
its not a mod it just modifies your game 
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.
Fair enough
I believe it’s intended no reshade for this contest but I’m not involved.
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.
well thats needlessly passive aggressive

long story short if it looks like there's reshade it's probably going straight to the fishy bin
which is which 
the one with so much color your eyes bleed
That top one is nice but the best reshade one is one that still looks fairly realistic
What about GeForce ReShade? (if it works), how would it be then?
@turbid kayak Same rules apply as regular reshade
Could there be a !faq phishing where it just links to https://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/news/detail/bd90dc7ab87ef1b625db76616f7cced74a0e6496? Or adds an image like this: https://img.thaun.dev/zzkcj.png ?
I'm gonna make a faq with progressively bigger bait until you click on it and fail.
!faq security
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.
unfortunately
keyloggers probably, js stuff etc
A Trojan that installs the Untitled Goose add on
hopefully not, but i guess you could add those two ffxiv links that i shared to faq security
ah nvm i guess since the faq website already has that covered
Ahem
Emote please

can i have a vote to remove said emote that is fucking scary
Regarding the glamour contest; is it okay to take vertical screenshot like this one?
the glamour needs to be clearly visible. pose & co do not matter.
We can see everything clearly, so its fine
@tulip lava can we make that Ryne emote you got a emote here?
You’d have to ask the discord admins (Eanae/Gen/Venae) as they manage emojis
Yay!
would this work
Idk name it :lulfilia:
I meant the G'raha but yeah didn't see it was already named 
i really dont think you can call this trying to be nice
ok but why do mods get to break rule 1 when theyre kicking people
yeah
We're dealing with the situation. We will be adding new mod rules in the coming week.
If there are complaints regarding specific members of our staff, please do try to use the private feedback form!
(It's in the pins)
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 😄
i mean i think a cooldown is a bad idea cause that prohibits discissions on whether or not someones suggestion is
yknow
discussed
One minute isnt a long time. And this place isnt crowded. So they wont miss your feedback
i dont think slowdown really helps. the only people who flood this chat without it being part of the discussion are mods
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.
sure but it seems like an unnecessary precaution
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?
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.
30 seconds might be less annoying yeah
I assumed a mod said something that prompted this change
Inappropriate behaviour from a Discord Moderator and unnecessary messages from other members. @vernal moat
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
Suggestion: Put #technology-discussion and #109114589341306880 in general and put #memes-and-shitposting in miscellaneous.
Or at least put #technology-discussion up there since it generally goes unnoticed by the general chat since they talk computers right in #not-ffxiv-discussion. Would give #technology-discussion lots more foot traffic.
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
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
You mean the 3rd one?
yeah. well the third entry
Unfortunately we can't just take off an offensive English word because its a normal word in Spanish
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.
oh. isn't that a little racist to only allow people to speak english
We don't have a large enough Spanish speaking userbase to warrant such a change
Unfortunately letting people use that word itself is racist
the majority of the user base speaks English, we do allow people to speak jp too
in the exclusive context of english-speaking americans, yes.
We won't be removing it from the hard filter
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
If people genuinely meant to use it as its Spanish meaning, then we'll explain why its banned and send them on their way
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
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
Also bans here are not automatically done
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
There is no auto banning in this server
all bans and mutes are manual
Every ban has to be issued by a mod
If someone decides to speak another language in a public channel, we will remind them to please switch back to english. Thats all
all bans and mutes are manual
yeah that's fair i guess
nvm I'm blind
We always look at context, but I currently don’t have and plans to officially support any languages other than English and Japanese.
Can the DoH Role not be all lowercase
Discord doesn't allow that.
are you sure
Fixed. Eanae has to do it.
It's named that way with Kupo's role assignment programming.
If you change the name it breaks the bot
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.
I misread and thought Nodius meant the #doh-dol-lounge channel name 😔
kupo bot breaks roles when changing role name? thats a weird feature. thought the roles would have been linked with id's
It is linked by ID for the reaction but then he reads the name to find the role in the server.
shouldn't it just use id for that too 
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.

YoshiCry?
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.
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
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
#rants is pretty much #general-discussion 2 as it is
^, 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)
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.
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)
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.
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
Our rule list is fairly long, it would be more disruptive to chat than not
The rules are a bit long for that
A full list of server rules can be found in #about-this-server
It is the first rule because it is the most important. Be respectful of other users and their opinions.
• Don't ping other users or user roles without good reason.
• Do not harass, name-shame, or witch-hunt. Sexual harassment will result in an immediate ban.
• No inappropriate content. Content that is overly sexual in nature or language that may make members feel uncomfortable is not permitted.
• Certain content including some profanity is not permitted on this server and may be automatically removed. List of example content.
Ah ok I didn’t know about those commands
A periodical message that reminds people to stop shitposting 
An Hourly !40 Purge
purge of what?
No shitposting / off-topic in this channel.

Use #discord-modmail, as I instructed you previously
Resources to-do:
- Sort everything in
Unsorted Links - Turn
Unsorted LinksintoRecruitment - Add subreddits and discord servers
Is there any requirement to have a discord server added to the "Regional communities & sites" for specific countries?
Nothing set in stone, but ideally it should have a large amount of users or otherwise notable/unique enough be added
Im not sure if we counts as a large server yet, but its basically a semi-copy of this server, but for norwegians.
Atm. 100 members. (so yeah, not large)
drop a link in a staff member (blue or red)'s dms, and we can give it a review at some point!
one blue is already in the server 👀
but ill send the link
If you wish to get in contact directly with the mod team privately, please go to #discord-modmail and enter the command !modmail openticket <message>, with "message" replaced with what you want to send without the "<>". Modmails are kept confidential within the mod team, and there are no penalties for using modmail as long as you follow already existing server rules.
#resources Is a useful channel! I think it ought to stay, in regards to the announcement.
There should probably be a plain text thing at the bottom saying embeds must be enabled to see this channel properly
I agree!
It's a planned change along with some others: https://gitlab.com/kupo-bot/KupoBot/-/issues/215
#resources channel seems great, just a small fix, the nemekh rdm guide got linked under smn and nemekh smn guide got linked under rdm
notably the links are correct and in the correct sections, but the links are incorrectly named
Good catch, fixed!
can i suggest that https://etro.gg/ be added aswell? similar to ariyala but more user friendly
Can we get a role for people with pinned messages
Like a Hall of Fame/Shame kind of deal?
Yeah
@ionic tide Added
Holy damn the resources channel is useful!
I'm not sure if it's been asked already but if the feedback on it is positive, will there be an option added to Kupobot to have him repost everything in there to other Discord servers?
banned gang role when
Please don’t shitpost in here, thank you.
im serious
We should have a FAQ for preffered servers
we have a command that tells us the preferred servers in a datacenter, if you mean that.
!preferred <datacentername>
Think Albert means like explaining what "preferred" servers are
It's a common question asked
!faq worldtype
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.
Oh well didnt know that existed, thanks
Hmm, I'm not sure where to add it but.. in #resources is there a way to add the map of eorzea that Rommy translated? Perhaps under Lore or.. something, unless I totally skipped right past it 
!faq worldmap
this one?
yeah
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:
- 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
- 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.
- 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
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
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
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
Oh yeah add the rule to name the glam if you have a name for it might be good or not
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
are the winner roles permanent?
No
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
Due to the nature of having multiple events planned, it would bloat the role too quickly if it was permanent
Can we get Blue Mage channel and role?
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
Is there a specific sub channel / sub forum to ask about crafting?
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.
I think i have no access to that channel
Maybe link to a BLU server then? I cannot, for the life of me, find any BLU servers or channels anywhere in discord.
Ohh thanks Venae.. my bad 
there also a semi-active BLU channel in the balance
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.
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.
Or battle animations in gpose
I think they mean how you can suspend emotes mid animation so it’s hard to see the full body
Yeah, exactly those
There was at least one or two glamours that I personally liked conceptually, but then the participant dumped the same dye all over the outfit.
Im surprised I won, Im wondering what the judges liked most about it. Is there somewhere we can see their thoughts?
I can make submissions anonymous with Kupo Bot
In case it wasnt mentioned, I think a set BG would be beneficial as well. Have every contestant with a white or black bg so nothing else subconsciously get in the way of the outfit
Generally I want no part in these contests but I can help make it better
thats why on my submission i chose to go with a Gshade filter that would just blur everything else out
I mean i did a screen with a matching bg and i still got little votes
its the least of the worries
Also if all these contests are going to do is generate salt I’ll put an end to them
wait when did the voting happen? I must've been asleep when it was up
or was it solely for the judges?
they locked and hid the channel when the judges were voting i think
Correct.
There was at least one or two glamours that I personally liked conceptually, but then the participant dumped the same dye all over the outfit.
i did exactly that lmao whoops
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.
Looks like its broken so i'll just give it to you manually

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
Try the caster role now
It uh... it seems to tell me I've removed the role (even after trying again), and still does not grant access to caster's lounge.
Can you use the reaction again
Overall I liked the glamour contest
It’s nice to have the server engage and participate in activities
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.
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 
since people are on the subject of the glamor contest. I can't open the results due to not owning a copy of excel, so can someone screenshot my results.
12th place out of 34 male entries
huh, not bad.
@ornate pelican arent mods not supposed to be doing these meme bans anymore?
unless you would have liked to hear about his story talking about how he enjoyed his fingers smelling like shit, i don't think it's a meme ban
would you rather i have classified it differently?
i went through his chat history in here before banning and all he did was post provocative messages
seems like that sorta thing might have been good to put in the ban reason then? broke rule x y z. instead of just reading the chat and seeing random troll bans show up
referring to our public mod guide https://mod-guide.ven.ae/
* Trolls / Sock puppets```
is an appropriate circumstance to ban an user for
so i feel like i acted appropriately to our guidelines
sorry i didnt mean to rile cleave up enough to post scat quotes me 😦 ill just drop it and go back to not posting. was just trying to give some feedback so people wouldnt be confused 😦
if you want to suggest adjustments to our modguide, feel free to post them in here
there was some brief confusion at the time of the ban, after which normal conversation quickly picked up again. bringing attention to the matter again has likely only increased unrest among users
wait, there's a spreadsheet of the glamour contest results? I'm curious about where I placed too
about 22nd place out of 59 total female entries.
oh, not bad.
I was expecting lower lmao but I'm happy with that

Actually could probably use a #pso2 subcategory for a bit as #video-games-general is getting crazy swarmed.. to no surprise.
We're already fairly bloated on both channels and roles. We're looking at reducing those, not adding more.
another emote suggestion from refia

smughilda

#video-games-general always has a flavor of the month, like all general video game communities. It was Arknights most recently, now it's PSO2. These things always pass.

What benefit would having GC roles provide?
Actually, you can only have around 250 roles.
Not sure where put this but this might need an announcement
I...
You need 2FA to disable 2FA
Also, if there's a link, then it can be added to filter lists.
Delete me
Ok, but remember that you asked for this 
This can be firmly filed under "don't click random things on the internet".
But you know people still fall for stuff
@ornate pelican @untold sequoia Just tried again. Still not working. Sorry I took so long to get back.
zz, not this shit again, happens all the time, don't click on random stuff
like how people gets scammed in ffxiv, does not mean ffxiv has a password stealer
It worked for my test account
Once installed, past versions of the trojan modify the Discord client's JavaScript files to turn it into a malware that would steal a victim's Discord user token.```
this could be done easily by anyone, and there isnt really a way to fix this at all, than just not being stupid
I just tested it and it worked for me
@wind compass Can you try adding the caster reaction again?
I got logged out multiple times
I thought it was just a bug Is my account in danger?
If you have to ask, you probably should change your PW.
I've had the same issue, probably a connection bug on discord side
Sorry if this isn't the right place to ask but is there something like subreddit feed on this server, like it was before? Last I heard it was issue with a bot but now I see the channel is archived and I couldn't find anything in announcements section. That was the only way I saw new Reddit posts on ff14 subreddit as I don't frequent Reddit app or site for anything else really.
From what I remember the feed was shut off since it used a lot of Kupobot’s RAM or CPU. Though we have upgraded him semi-recently
There are some design concerns in that space as the API wrapper we used isn't asynchronous, since its blocking there is a significant risk of performance impact to the rest of KupoBot
Not to say it'll never come back. We just have to be careful
A more visible Smug Hilda?
I just tested it and it worked for me
@untold sequoia I just tried again, and it still says "removed" in the notification and doesn't give me the role.
Try it again
"removed" no lounge access. @_@
I just manually gave you the role
So I’ve already been allowed to post Free game links into #video-games-general
Now I wanna know if we can get a “Gamer” role so that everyone interested in free games can be Pinged when I find a new one
That would be too ripe for abuse, random people could spam ping the role
I don't need one guy to ping that role for "free games" when i already have a bot that does that for me. Would be much better off to join a different server for that.
Can we have some kind of reeee emote? Preferably of Cleave because all the Cleave emotes are cute.

like
?
Needs more reee

Just the one before but tinted red with glowing eyes

Ree is a cancer and has no business being a specific thing 
Nobody cared enough for the more visible Smug Hilda

@smoky bridge No
and agreed doomstick. absolute cancer
There's plenty of room for emotes, you don't have to use it if you don't like it.
I remember seeing a screenshot of angry yshtola
That could work with Reeeee if anyone can find it
Make sure to find the artist as well if its custom artwork
it's an ingame screenshot
@rotund panther Subreddit feeds for #subreddit and #reddit-recruitment-feed are now back and running (:
i don't like seeing that reeee crap everywhere so, no ty
4chan stuff. boring.
Your opinion but we need an emote to express extreme anger and it should be cute
sounds like cleave with more steps
Nah. Does every server in existance have to have an alt-right icon as an emote?
but alright Refia, if you're alt right and racist, then that's fine~
Yeah, i'm going to have to ask you to not throw out baseless accusations towards members of this Discord
Ultimately if that type of emote is added or not is up to the mod team, your concerns have been noted
"baseless accusations"
when we're discussing an alt-right icon that makes people uncomfortable :)) alright
I hope the mod team cares about the server enough to make sure people feel fucking safe here or not, or maybe you don't care?
As I said we will take it into consideration, but i'm not going to instantly rule it out without first consulting with the rest of the team
Thank you, that's at least good to know, ill drop it then, hopefully it will be taken into consideration. i know a lot of people who aren't fond of pepe and would be uncomfy with it- but that's just my concerns.
this isnt ever political
All that over an emoji that probably won't even be called "reee". Y'all need to calm down.
As long as it's FFXIV related somewhat, there's likely no issue.
Yikes man, I just wanted an emote that expresses extreme anger and frustration in a cute way. I don't know where these crazy politics and accusations came from.
don't worry you didn't do anything wrong that person just has personal things they need to short out
guys, remember this is #discord-feedback the feedback has been given we can drop the topic now 🙂
@tulip lava Thank you! 🙂
KupoBot isn't feeling well, at least some commands aren't working. Idk if you're aware.

What commands?
Known issue, we're working on it. Apologies for any inconvenience (:
Thank you!
:LouisiouxPog:?
Poggersoix
louipogx
That looks less pog and more 'wait what'
louigasm?

That looks awful. I wouldn't make that an emote just out of principle.

I stand by what I said 
I'm with Yen on this one 😐

The Discord icon is so cute!!! I love Moogles.
Why thank you
I'm glad you like them

Thanks @elder violet !
So in #announcements, "FFXIV Shadowbringers" refers to the expansions only, correct?
Correct
Can we add a channel Highlighting and recommending pc mods and shaders
What are the requirements for the mentor specializations?
Like for example I'm happy to help with PvP questions in chat but do I need to do certain achievements in game to be worth a nomination?
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.
Oh I didn’t know about that
Thanks
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.
apologies if this has already been answered, i didnt see it mentioned anywhere, if someone wins the shadowbringers giveaway and already has the expac, will something else be offered in its place or will it be drawn again?
Redraw
ok, thank you!
is the nitro normal or classic 👀?
You can only gift $10 Nitro as far as I remember
You can gift both!
In the case of the current giveaway in #716926893227507766, it's normal Nitro
too bad not all 100k members can't join on the giveaway, maby this is the only time pinging everyone would benefit someone 👀
I'd like to avoid crashing the server 👀
btw, this is a nice website to include to track joined giveaways: https://giveaways.mrkirby153.com/giveaways/100463940835762176
Can individual discord members offer something to giveaway?
Like if I get a key I don’t want
under rule 4 "do not do this"
question about names in screenshots
its fine as long as its not witch-hunting, ranty, or directs hate towards the person right? If its wholesome or funny it should be fine?
Yeah
As long as it isn't casting the person in a negative light shaming them it shouldn't be a problem
#resources update:

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
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?
I quote "Use this channel to discuss glamour creations, get suggestions, and give critique."
Emphasis on "discuss"
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.
Maybe glamour-discussion would be a more accurate name for the channel?
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
It is my home
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.
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
does activism fall under the "no politics" rule? it's hard to have/talk about a charity event for BLM when you can get clapped for rule 4 violations
i dont like the merging of the stream channel with #109114589341306880
Any reason why?
its way harder to see the music people link now
Since the modmail is closed for me, I misspoke when I said strike, I meant warning. Thanks ya'll.
If it's possible, can !action show base casting time for spells or say if they're instant?
Like this @timid pilot ?
yep! 
Simple enough adjustment. I'll run it by the team and see if people are happy for it to go live (:
Change is live and works for both !action and !pvpaction. Thanks for the feedback
Question on the screenshot content,
It says that 3 will be chosen by the community and 3 by the judges if I'm reading it correctly, so what happens if both overlap on the same person(s)?
We'll just skip that person and go to the person with the next amount of votes
The public voting will happen after the judges have already decided their votes
can't reply to my ticket
@wise leaf We're looking into this (:
We know the reason, thinking of a fix.
@wise leaf try it now
seems to work now
@fleet mural You have done nothing to prove your point, when asked for evidence I was told to go ask Skye, witch hunting and targeted harassment is not allowed on this server. Furthermore bans from other servers, even the Balance have no authority here, if Skye feels that this is a serious enough issue they can contact us themself
Wish you could have specific jobs for roles so people know exactly what they're looking at. Servers too, ex... Leviathan
That would add a lot of role clutter without giving much benefit so we decided against doing that
Understandable
You can add your specific server as a nickname
Subreddit related, but I think !faq poetics should be made a wiki page if y'all still doing those
Kinda memey, but I propose the
emote should be renamed to y'ikes
you can't put punctuation in emote names
oh
Already tried, did not work
I read a article talking about Malware stealing peoples passwords on discord
I’ve been signed out about 3 times
I changed my password but this sounds serious
That warning or whatever comes and goes like every month, it's not at all surprising at this point.
Most of these cases are from users making mistakes on theit part like scanning discord login qr codes or downloading shady files people uploaded.
Discord has some safety guidelines (https://discord.com/safety/360043857751-Four-steps-to-a-super-safe-account) which I would recommend following. Setting up 2FA at the very least should keep you safe from a lot of basic scams
@vernal moat if you are really want to check if you don't have that malware, go to
%AppData%\Discord\[version]\modules\discord_desktop_core\index.js
and that file should only have module.exports = require('./core.asar');
other than that, try completely reinstalling discord.
Ok thank you
Can we get this as an emote
done
Wha no
This was not my intention
Such devastation
Quick reminder that you're not supposed to shitpost in this channel, but we'll leave this one up.
Whose shitposting
I just wanted a emote
Can we get a command to see 'smug is cute' counter
?
Yeah it's built into Discord, click the magnifying glass at the top right of Discord and type in "smug is cute"
Day 150: Have successfully trained FFXIV discord to associate Smug with Cute.
For the screenshot contest, does our character have to be in it
No
Can there be a timer for when the contest ends to make it easier for other timezones?
!faq juicy
@wooden heron
we can have faq juicy but not a banned gang role
That sounds too close to gang banged and chat doesnt need anymore reason to be degen
Can we have a kupo role to just turn down rumpatump?
Please avoiding using the feedback channel to needlessly shitpost thanks
Can there be a timer for when the contest ends to make it easier for other timezones?
@eager stone There is some kupobot functionality in the works which should help address this. Might not be ready in time for the current contest but you can use Meara's link for now (:
This is not a shitposting channel
Thank you! 
@eager stone #kupo-bot-spam message - you can thank Eanae for that one (:
Thanks a lot for this!!!
(This feature will be public eventually)
It's currently active on Kupo Bot shards 3 and 6
Once I'm confident it works and doesn't break the bank resource wise I'll push it to all servers.
bring back #golden-saucer, or be haunted by newbies asking the same "how do i get MVP at golden saucer?" 40 times
It didn't get enough traffic to warrant keeping around
And new players would just ask that question in the main chats anyways
you removed a solution to a problem, i guess
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.
I don't know who you're making it for, ( #689372308782972935 #not-ffxiv-discussion #rants #716926528507740241 ) but try not to reach the same situations as the emote servers(50k members) where everyone just ignores it.
We literally have a channel for newbies to get help in #questions-and-help
If newbies really wanted a gold saucer channel, they sure as hell weren't showing it
I have never really see people would leave this server, cause they didn't get help, other than that, they would have been moved over to the balance server if they wanted more of that kind of help.
If anything we would see it only being used as !fr spam. We also habe !faq mgpguide and again, the general questions chat.
discussion isnt rant, if its discussion, then contact a mod then tell them that they are on the wrong channel
#rants is reasonably high volume, is used for its intended purpose and helps prevent other channels being taken over with people venting
!faq interrupt
nop
sample text
idk what happened to the picture
It's supposed to have a picture explaining interrupt and how it works, might be disc messing up
Would it be good to add which actions actually do the Interrupt mechanic? Headgraze and Interject. In game I'm often trying to explain that things like shieldbash and low blow don't work.
The picture that’s supposed to show in the faq have them listed
Oh yeah it's busted on my phone sorry.
!faq interrupt
\o/
Confirming that it works on mobile.
Can we get the Ser Aymeric bot in the server
It does function somewhat like the kupo bot but it is also able to show your equipment and ilevel
Short Answer: no
Long Answer: @maiden ravine smells
(Redesigning the equipment command has been on my todo list)
no u smell
(💜 )
I agree lethys is smelly
ooh ser aymerics dev is here 
just to support aymeric's friend, kupo bot 💜
Can we get any video guides of job rotations
Visual learner here
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.
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.
Kupo Bot's equipment command has been updated to be more human readable.
is there a way to make !faq interrupt show up with !faq interject too?
!faq interject
the
the other way
Hmm?
have this pic show up with the command !faq interject
https://discordapp.com/channels/100463940835762176/300676822213984257/723340810250223617 i guess kupo was being weird here? idk
oh
thanks 
Okay, is it wrong to ask for a Charibert emoji? Something to post when SICKNESS MUST BE PURGED?
Doesn't he wear a hat/helmet in that fight? Might be more recognized than some random knife ear
a closeup of a helmet would be a lot less recognizable than chariberts face if thats what you mean
you meet him without the helm during msq anyway
how could you not recognize that horrible lip gloss anywho
we need an !faq collectibleunlock or something
cause holy shit why is this game so dumb
here's a short list
1: Go to the Levemette table in Foundation and accept the
Inscrutable Tastes to unlock Mor Dhona House of Splendors
2: Accept
Go West, Craftsman from Lydirlona in Mor Dhona to unlock Idllyshire House of Splendors
3: Accept
Reach Long and Prosper in Rhalgr's Reach from Galiena to unlock the Rhalgr's House of Splendors
4: Accept
The Boutique Always Wins from Mowen to unlock Eulmore House of Splendors
@timid pilot here's a new FAQ suggestion for collectibles if you want it
!faq scripunlock
Unlocking scrips (Foundation x10, y10.)
Unlocking Idyllshire's House of Splendors (Mor Dhona 22, y6)
Unlocking Rhalgr's Reach House of Splendors (Rhalgr's Reach x10, y12)
Unlocking Eulmore's House of Splendors (Eulmore at x11, y10, on the top floor)
for the screenshot voting thing
do you guys prefer we use their discord name or their in game name attached to the screenshot
so no preference then
I'm pretty sure that they've asked for discord username @obsidian verge, not the nickname or in-game name
ok thanks
Can we honestly talk about the 'fake' modding that goes on, especially in #questions-and-help
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?
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)
!action Ninjutsu
Executes a specific ninjutsu action coinciding with the combination of mudra made immediately beforehand.
If any other action is used before the mudra are combined and the ninjutsu executed, Ninjutsu will fail.
Triggers the cooldown of weaponskills, mudra, and Ninjutsu upon execution.
Conversely, execution of weaponskills triggers the cooldown of this action.
Fixed now @narrow ferry - thanks for letting us know (:
Good morning, could we get this added as a emote to the server, is always good to have good duck emotes tbh, thanks for ur the time
https://media1.tenor.co/images/307ce44aa3f88c19abcaef0f7065bbfa/tenor.gif?itemid=16364185
But thats a goose
I'm going to vote against for three reasons
One, fortnite dances suck
Two, mixing up the glory of goose with something as godawful as fortnite is a capital crime
Three, backgrounded gifs make godawful emotes
I would have to second Doom's opinion.
I think this has actually been suggested before. And it's a nope.
please also keep in mind when suggesting emotes that we only accept submissions that have permission from the original artist to be used here
My 2 cents: Looks more like the Goose from Untitled Goose Game
It is 

Also no. Primarily because it looks godawful.
is this where we ask about the kupo bot?
it looks like it, i have a few queestions. Is there a dedicated website for the bot/bot commands, and are there customizable commands?
Is this where we ask about the Kupo Bot?
Yup! Any questions, issues, bugs, etc.
Is there a website?
Yes. https://kupobot.com
Though, it's currently in the process of being rebuilt with new features and shiny stuff. No ETA on that yet.
Are there customizable commands?
<@&492073389461340172> can answer that better than I can.
No customizable commands, no. Sorry.
You can also find documentation on the commands KupoBot does have at https://gitlab.com/kupo-bot/KupoBot/-/wikis/home
i think we should bring back the stream chat
does anybody go into #109114589341306880 looking for a ffxiv stream
Actually yes, I've gotten people watching my stream who found it in there
._.
this for :smug and
to :smugtato:
please and thank you
Hi!
On my FC server, Kupobot isn't doing anything when I attempt to !rules remove # .
It responds if I leave out a number and tells me that it requires one. I repopulate the rules channel and the ones I'm attempting to remove are still there.
Hi Vykaa! Give me just a moment to review the error logs and I'll DM you
Hi, I'm having some trouble with Kupo Bot. I can get it to respond in one channel but no other channels in my own server.
I seem to have solved it, never mind! ❤️
Feel free to reach out if you run into any other roadblocks
Suggestion: label the Spoiler section as NSFW so newbies have to be sure they want access to it? Or maybe put it behind a role for access?
idk if they just added it, but it is now.
It has been nsfw tagged for quite a while now
Really? It never asked me for to see NSFW stuff when I went to it, I’ve accidentally popped in there a few times, luckily I’m fast enough to not read spoilers
I believe the NSFW prompt is a one-time thing, once you accept it Discord will let you in.
It used to be accepted on a channel by channel basis but that might have changed when they added the age verification pop-up to nsfw channels
Shouldn't you expect to see spoilers when you click on a channel specifically labeled spoilers anyway? That's like ingesting arsenic and complaining it wasn't labeled as poison even though it says "poison" on literally every part of the package.
If you click on #archived-lore-spoilers, you should expect to see spoilers up to and including the most recent patch.
Sometimes I just wanna clear alerts on mobile and accidentally click it, I myself have muted the channel but others might be more...oblivious to the option
emote pls
I support this 
:lahabread:
I approve of this one 
the Council approves
does this art have a source? if so, do we have permission from the creator?

it might be better to make a modmail to discuss this
oki
I just went through the resources channel, and noticed the jobs video from Larryzaur is linked there. Recently, he made a new one which incorporates the shadowbringer changes and new classes. Changing the links or adding the new video might be good.
I would suggest keeping the olde ones and adding the new one. They provide context for the more recent one but also they are funny
In !faq datacenterip, maybe a paragraph + pic on how to read the ping result and what numbers are great/good/okay/bad?
What constitutes good ping depends on the person and the job they're playing
150 ping is fine for BLM but bad for MCH
That's fair
No NSFW channel?
No.
we are a partnered server so we won't be adding a nsfw channel
We had it, look for players with Badge of Shame OwO, but that's history from long ago (like 2 years ago?)
Yeah, it got deleted because discord subtly whispered in our ear that they'd prefer partnered servers not to have it
"subtly"
with a gun pointed from the distance
I mean, if I know people
It probably still exists, just hidden or converted.
Or both. 
nope, they threatened to delete the entire server so it got wiped
^
The old channel was instantly nuked and since that point onwards no NSFW content is allowed on this Discord server. See rule 4 for details: https://discordapp.com/channels/100463940835762176/107738694017921024/716942948796727306
have you considered a version of the !itemglam command for mounts
As in one that shows what a character looks like on a mount?
sure but it could be as simple as the mount guide .png like this
!mount Centurio tiger
In a rare display of misguided compassion, a member of Clan Centurio returned from a Hunt with the whimpering cub of a slain S-rank mark. Unable to grant it the mercy it so deserved, the veteran took to caring for the beast until his deceit was discovered and his membership revoked. However, by then, not a single other member could bring themselves to harm the pet they had all come to love.
You Got Game (Achievement)
Hmm, I thought we already had a command like that
shouldn't be too hard to put a picture on these right
yknow in addition the tiny icon
There we go
!mount Regalia Type-G
To hear Cid tell it, equal parts elbow grease and gumption were all that was required to see the Type-G (for “Garlond”) fully operational...when, in all truth, the otherworldly carriage most likely required an amazing amount of reverse engineering to recreate.
Final Fantasy XV Collaboration (Event)
I could add the full images
Made a ticket so I don't forget, might be a bit lower on the todo list
Given making the new website is sucking my soul
Is there a reason why half the Crystal links are dead invites or dead servers?
People forgetting setting invite links to unlimited, they deleted them, or you got banned.
this is the last post from the #translations-and-liveletters webhook on my server, none after that. Do i need to periodically delete and re-add the webhook to make it work consistently?
The translation team has to manually chose to publish messages to other servers, its not automatic
oh, i didnt know that, thank you!
Two of them fall into the former category, as I was in one of them and it's been dead since 5.1 while another is limited by time. My real concern is the attempt to reach out to other Crystal player(s) for links or is it entirely expected that others go out of their way to plug a server multiple times?
There should be !action Energy Drain SMN or SCH for energy drain since they both have the same name
That is a bit complicated. I have ideas on how I could make it work though.
It would be a bit different than that implementation
fair enough. Hope you get that website finished soon.
Me too. 
Why not both?
cause emote slots are limited
Is there a look for group in this discord for people who are willing to join someone’s group or help them if they’re bored of waiting for next patch
You could try #603040697884475393 or #retired-na-datacenters
Would like to get this as an emote, created by @wooden heron
Also the gun is very small and the same color as the cowl so you would barely be able to see it on an emote. Would be too small to tell the smile is edited too so meh
Ye was gonna throw it in my own server to see how it would work while used with text
Since its gonna be quite small then
Did it on my phone for you 
Though the emote does feel a bit too small to be viewable
Yeah, the picture itself might make a good emoji, but the gun itself is too small.
I ain't feelin' it, personally, both of those memes are badly overused
We need a gun emote in the server



Is the character equipment and materia command up?
If so what’s the command?
!whoequip @vernal moat (removed embed cuz it takes up a lotta space)
👌
If I keep deleting it, stop reposting it
might as well delete the messages with f word in them then
That emoji with the pistol doesnt cut it, sorry.
I need a dancing moogle emoji In my llfe... make it happen 
specifically doing this dance 
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
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
Thanks for making a great game
Edit: changed good to great
Thanks, unfortunately we're not affiliated with SE so we didn't actually make the game :p
They do have an official twitter account though if you want to show your appreciation
Oh ok, well thanks for supporting a great game ( :
youre welcome
is there a subreddit link for the windows/steam faq?
i know there is the automod message that has it, but i dont have a link for it.
- Steam launcher integration update
- Steam and windows expansions are not interchangeable, buy the expansions for your base platform
- Use SteamEdit to remove -issteam argument to play with your windows subscription via steam
- You do not need to uninstall ffxiv if you have either the steam or windows version when you want to swap.
this one?
Yeah, but as a link in the subreddit, with info like the auto message.
more like this one: https://img.thaun.dev/chhus.png
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?
Not quite - it doesn't state how to set up the auto-posting. Just says to update it.
if you mean how to get kupo to post it to your discord then you just go to #lodestone-news-na and click follow
^
Oh o.o thank you!
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
need kupo bot wizard input
Up to 10 messages get forwarded per hour
...I think you may have posted this in the wrong discord. We don’t handle hunt calls in any real capacity.
. . . . omg
I litteraly can't read, sorry about that ! 
Just wanted to ask regarding this rule of the glamour contest, does this mean taking a full body shot horizontally then rotating it to make it vertical isn't allowed?
Like what I did here, then rotating it
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.
GPose has a built in rotate function
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.
It cuts out unnecessary detail and keeps the focus on the glamour itself
i was about to ask the same thing as aya
so if we take a picture in portrait we just have to post it sideways?
!faq mogstation is now going to the FFXIV online store instead of the mogstation
!faq mogstation
Official management site for FINAL FANTASY XIV: Mog Station.
Does this link take you to the login page? @fiery cosmos
No. It takes me directly to https://store.finalfantasyxiv.com/ffxivstore/en-us/
The link I posted?
Oh, that. Yeah, that takes me to the login page
Fixed
do we have a store faq tho
Bikinis should be fine right since this is a summer themed contest
I believe that is a correct. Please be tasteful. Nothing obscene.
Bikinis are OK. Again, remember rule 4.

uhh should have a deadline in the rules of the contest? i dont see any
Just like the last glamour contest, there will be 6 winners: 3 male characters, 3 female characters. Voting will be community based and completely anonymous this time, and will begin in a week. Good luck to everyone participating!
How do I get Kupo bot working?
Every time I enter a item for the marker command it says item not found
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?
!help <command>
please use the !help command in #kupo-bot-spam theres also the documentations https://gitlab.com/kupo-bot/KupoBot/-/wikis/User-Commands/#kupo-bot-user-commands
Kupo Bot repository and bug reporting. Support Kupo Bot on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/kupobot Art by http://reddit.com/u/OlivinePeridot
I only know fashion report and market
Does the sir Amyric one do cool stuff too? What does he do?

This isn't an Aymeric support server so I'd look to elsewhere for help with that.
Where would you look!
Dan posted the link to the bot's site
The website i linkes also has a link to their discord on the home page, please look there for further information
Oh
~~are reactions supposed to be on in #730862043376123966 ~~
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?"
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?
Edit your lodestone profile and add the code to it
Click the pencil icon at the bottom then add the code
Okay, I did. Thanks.
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
zalas 👀
Its in the message the pops up after the use the command
Not the DM, the one in the channel
Oops. I'll have a look at making the instructions a bit more intuitive. Should be live sometime today
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
Should be fine to ask about shaders. Most people openly use them. Do so at your own risk. They are against TOS.
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
@torn steppe Done
look at #ffxiv-screenshots half of them have shaders XD
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
I think we fixed the 2021 thing in today’s hotfix
We had to nuke the entire table today due to bugs.
But it should be much healthier today.
where do i go to get a bot mute reversed from spamming 'no' in #memes-and-shitposting in reference to a cursed meme
!unmute @vagrant belfry
Please be careful to not trip the spam protections.
ok
Any particular reason the !iam verify command is disabled in DMs?
Because it’s directly tied to FC authentication which needs to be done in a server.
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
Not all FC websites work the same though, If you mean ones made by the free company itself.
I tihnk he means the process of finding the FC card and literally sending an application.
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.
Its just not worth making an FAQ for something like that
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.
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
the links for example, also stuff like making characters italicized/bold.
You'd have to save more characters than just the links
The FAQ is right on the cusp of the limit
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.
