[lyric crater]

yes the problem with the server is people trying to log in

[north silo]

It’s very much standard

Could be worse you could be JP and have 40k+ queues

[plain plover]

a visual explanation of why the servers are in the shitter

[gray cobalt]

I see, I guess I really underestimated the increase in people as the day went on

[north silo]

Pretty sure the server I used to play on, Exodus, had a 15k queue according to my old FC on Exodus

[plain plover]

the peak players during endwalker is already more than double the peak players during shadowbringers on steam atleast

[vernal nacelle]

OMFG, Alfi-toad and Ali-toad. 😆

[gray cobalt]

I would have stayed up if I realized how many people would be getting home

[uneven agate]

fuck. i got down to 1k and then there was a sever error, now im back at 1900

[plain plover]

i'm playing at 8am

[hollow ice]

do I need to get a new aether compass

[shrewd bobcat]

in collection

[hollow ice]

oooh

[shrewd bobcat]

say how many sands and umbrites you need for Anima relic now?

[next quarry]

60

[pallid girder]

another day, another 2k queue

[shrewd bobcat]

old was 75 🤔

[split forum]

Wtf, I was in the middle of a cutscene, it kicked me out and now there’s a 2k queue

[pallid girder]

"The login queues are stable, and although they may appear to be moving slowly or the countdown numbers may not seem to be progressing, we have confirmed the queue is steadily moving forward as intended"

Agh

[shrewd bobcat]

thank you EU

[next quarry]

Old was 60-80

[pale parcel]

login queues are stable not when there's a lobby server error every hour 😞

[pallid girder]

i thought omega f and m outfits gonna come yesterday, but i reckon gotta wait a while more

[shrewd bobcat]

1621 queue thank you

[dusky shoal]

[pallid girder]

Oh, i assume you can only enter your EW standard edition code after EA ends

[hollow ice]

7th of december

3 days before launch

[gaunt star]

love how every MSQ npcs are sorrounded by players

[modest palm]

Everyone is getting home from work in NA. Yeeted to datacenter loading and crashed back to desktop. 😐

[final stone]

Onto hour 3 of queues. I keep getting yeeted and whenever I restart, it's gone from 1900/2200/2500. 😅

[karmic island]

is anyone having problems crashing repeatedly every time the numbers lower?

this happened to me around 10mins ago..

i got to one, crash, repeat.

[final stone]

That's my biggest fear is getting to 1 and crashing.

[karmic island]

the order is bottom, top, middle. not sure why it sent so weird

[split forum]

I’m just mad cuz something interesting was finally happening and I got thrown out

[karmic island]

i was in the middle of a cutscene when i crashed for the second time. i'm at 7 and counting right now

this is awful.. i just want to be able to play the game 😔

[final stone]

I'm sure the weekend will be less merciful too. A lot of people don't work. thankfully my days off are during the week so if this doesn't go through, I'll probably just wait until Monday and try again.

[pallid girder]

Sage NPC yesterday

[karmic island]

unfortunately it's unlikely i'll have much other time than the weekend as of late.. which sucks.

[simple fiber]

what server is having issues?

[karmic island]

i'm on faerie. (wrong reply! oops)

[pallid girder]

dw

[final stone]

I think a lot of different servers are having issues. My friend is on leviathan and is still trying to get in whereas I'm on siren.

[pallid girder]

😮

[modest palm]

This is nothing compared to Raubahn EX from ShB

[north silo]

Where’s the NPC where I can change tomestones of allegory into poetics

[karmic island]

it's in mor dhona. lady in the middle

[gray cobalt]

I got to 1000 in queue and then got 2002

[karmic island]

highest i've gotten was 3,800

[north silo]

What’s her name? I’m at the Tomestone exchange in Mor Dhona rn

[hollow ice]

literally the lady in the middle of the 3 at the kiosk

[karmic island]

i can't remember, since, well, i can't login. the rightmost stand though, chick in the middle

[pallid girder]

is it only at mor dhona that you can exchange old tomestones?

[gray cobalt]

Oh, the queue is only 697?!

[pallid girder]

1248 for me on Crystal, kekw

[gray cobalt]

I moved forward while I was kicked?

[karmic island]

yep

[karmic island]

yes, that'll happen lol. if you're fast enough, that is

[gray cobalt]

That’s very pleasing to know

[uncut bone]

screams externally

[pallid girder]

log back in quickly!

[shrewd bobcat]

finally in game

[modest palm]

Then you get the wonderful "This character was logged out incorrectly" error!

[next quarry]

played for 15 hours straight

fun game, time to die in bed

[final stone]

yikes, down from 2500 to 1000 and it kicked me to the curb.

[brisk sapphire]

Why teh fuck would they do that to krile?

[vernal nacelle]

Gasps Hood-less Krile!

[north silo]

I read this as help Krile and I was gonna say I ain’t helping no lalafells

[modest palm]

I'm kind of sad it wasn't the Rainmaker do under there.

[frigid light]

anyone know where to get master9 recipe books?

[brisk sapphire]

Just one thing pisses me off, stop calling the planet a god damned star

[native delta]

The twins' mom is such a good 🥺

[hollow ice]

but its correct

[uncut bone]

so that didnt work...

[spiral wagon]

bruh...

4 reapers and 2 sages

[karmic island]

not surprising

[gray cobalt]

I made it to 1 in the queue, got stuck, got kicked, and now I can’t get past the title screen

[brisk sapphire]

no it's not

[rain iris]

Yeah, it seems like there is an insane amount of people trying to play

[brisk sapphire]

Why isn't Krile on this list?

[hollow ice]

yes star is an old timey expression that can refer to planets

[brisk sapphire]

There are a lot of outdated words we don't use because that would lead to confusion

[hollow ice]

even so

[rain iris]

I assumed Star in this context meant like, solar system

[brisk sapphire]

By today's definition, a star is a celestial object that emits its own light

[hollow ice]

that doesnt mean the game has to adhere to modern principles

[vivid notch]

oh no I need to mentally prepare myself for the (EW post 81 dungeon) ||garlean apologia|| that I'm 80% sure is coming

[brisk sapphire]

No, they really do just mean the planet.

[modest palm]

I'm sorry, have you even met Urianger?

[brisk sapphire]

It's linguistics, the principle of languages is to convey an idea, using the wrong word will just lead to confusion. It can be done for artistic flair, but not repeatedly used every sentence lol.

[uneven agate]

Uh. Why does my queue say 1 person but I'm still not in...

[brisk sapphire]

Yes, and even they made and make fun of him for his awkward manner of speech ::P

[rain iris]

the servers are operating at over-capacity, so there's a ton of errors going on

[terse smelt]

what a sight lmao

[split forum]

Went from 2500 to 800 and got 2002’d

[gray cobalt]

The people in the game and pretty much every player familiar with the game understand what they mean by “Star”

[uneven agate]

Is that meaning I should requeue or that the number is just wrong

[terse smelt]

damn, they played you like a fiddle, how unlucky a;ldkjf

[gray cobalt]

You will probably get 2002d

[rain iris]

Honestly, no idea, my best guess would be to let it go for a few minutes, and if it doesnt update then restart the game

[split forum]

Requeued and it’s at 730, still ok so far

[rain iris]

I should've left Cactuar when Asmongold made his char there. at 5k right now

[errant perch]

I love how everyone is so casual about just going to the moon

[rain iris]

I mean, we DID hop dimensions and had a ||time traveller|| last expac. Space travel is trivial comparitively.

[gaunt star]

pls stop spoiling them going to the moon. I didnt know that was happening at all, why would you spoil the huge surprise.....jk. lol

[errant perch]

lmao. this is the spoils channel

[sonic atlas]

||Montichaigne is a dilf||

[split forum]

No, that’s over in the lore thread

[gaunt star]

I am joking, I dont care. Just joking cause that really isnt a spoiler and I am here and cant complain

[sonic atlas]

:)

[errant perch]

i know

[rain iris]

gotta be considerate for the people that wanna talk about the gameplay changes that havent gotten through the story. I've got a friend who still isn't even through Shadowbringers MSQ lol

[brisk sapphire]

Maybe reading the channel headers would enlighten people

This includes and isn't limited to spoilers surroudning MSQ, side content, and datamining.

[rain iris]

ahh, I see. my bad

[gray cobalt]

After trying to get past the title screen for around 30 minutes, I made it back in to a queue of 2.9k, which would be fine if I hadn’t been 1 in the queue before

[split forum]

I can’t fucking read

[brisk sapphire]

Well then getting spoiled shouldn't be a problem

[errant perch]

yup. in other words

[karmic island]

"“Error 2002” may be displayed when selecting a character in the Character Selection menu. This error is displayed when the login server is experiencing high amounts of traffic or when the number of characters waiting in a login queue for a logical Data Center exceeds 17,000. This is a measure to prevent the server from crashing due to extreme traffic overloads."

[split forum]

[rain iris]

I would guess the 1 in queue was an error

[lyric crater]

you can spoil here

(be aware, pinned message says to spoiler tag it u monsters)

[split forum]

I was mostly referring to the fact that there’re are some MASSIVE spoilers over there, lol

[gleaming bough]

Unbelievable, square actually made a cool looking starting weapon design for reaper

[sage atlas]

i for one very much like this new boss

[gleaming bough]

So the raubhan (savage) was unleashed from the start

[split forum]

Oh shit, finally got back in 🤩

[terse smelt]

hope you get a shot soon and that you have a great time playing ❤️

[brisk sapphire]

what the shit

[magic forge]

every|| monster fucker's wet dream||

[real venture]

why is the first dung a freaking savage raid LOL

[magic forge]

ngl it was fun. nice seeing the ||magus sisters|| again

[frail meteor]

Fml I went to lay the Smackdown on my kids mom in bed, came back and it kicked me out how the queue is 5,445

[brisk sapphire]

Just wait till you do the first trial

Of all teh MSQ trials you have to do, so far at least, it's been the toughest. It definitely beats Shin Ryu from SB release

[frail meteor]

5379.. why did I choose sex over FFXIV I won’t be able to play at all tonight now before bed for work

[brisk sapphire]

There's basically no way you get through without at least wiping twice, and made it through after 4 wipes and only because a handful of us were good enough to survive to phase 4 to pop healer LB3

[lyric crater]

are people gettin SoS'd

[brisk sapphire]

And only barely, we lost both healers to phase 3 but we had a rdm

[tight marlin]

my own internet bugged out and i got DC'd

[frail meteor]

I got kicked out and the queue is OVER 5000 😦

[tight marlin]

now getting back in is impossible with 5k people
and im in prae. cant even fucking level reaper in peace

quick question: if u DC from a duty can u still get exp from completion if u dont get kicked from the duty?

[frail meteor]

And I’ve heard FFXIV is dead several times smh

[errant perch]

the ||moon|| is absolutely insane

[brisk sapphire]

mood

[brisk sapphire]

Yes it is, keep going, it gets better.

[frail meteor]

Man I haven’t even finished shadowbringer it’s still the before quests after stormblood I just wanna playyyyy

[lyric rivet]

Damn. The queues were fine earlier today but now it’s a nightmare.

[errant perch]

ive been playing since 2 am when the servers came online. idk how much further people could be if they actually watch cutscenes

[frail meteor]

Does shadow take longer than stormblood

Stormblood didn’t really fancy me

[brisk sapphire]

Does take a while to go from level80 to 5.5.3

and you're ilvl gated while doing the msq

[frail meteor]

Im 74 atm

[lyric crater]

ilvl gate on msq hasn't been a problem ever since 5.0's final dungeon

[frail meteor]

Haven’t started officially main part yet

[sour cradle]

So is it just me or is armour crush (NIN) kinda just useless now?

[finite fjord]

Honestly it only takes a few hours of dungeons to get from 71-80 the problem youll face is queue times atm. Thats whats driving it up so bad.

[real venture]

the new bard aoe, landonsbite is weird

[gaunt star]

So guys without too many spoilers, how is the end walker story? I've just done tower of zot, up untill know it's been great, although the thavnir section was a tiny bit slow

[brisk sapphire]

First 2 zones are kinda zzzz

[hollow ice]

frog/10

[brisk sapphire]

Then it ramps up real quick after that and it's been great

Kinda like shadowbringer honestly, started slow until it got good

[karmic island]

i wasn't able to get past the ||aetheryte quest.|| :((

[gaunt star]

That's good, I've not heard alot of story discussion because everyone is too busy talking about server issues xD

[karmic island]

the servers are on fire sooo-

[errant perch]

yooooo its spaghetti man

[gaunt star]

It was expected

[silent forge]

[karmic island]

LMAO I SAW THE PATCH NOTES AND COMMENTED ON THOSE, they look so mf funny

[hollow ice]

suposedly theres a rainbow one

[errant perch]

ill find it soon

[hollow ice]

I think its a hunt target

[shrewd bobcat]

what if these guy live Underground 🤔

[errant perch]

maybe. im standing infront of one ontop of the ground tho

[shrewd bobcat]

Wide flat short Cactuar

[modest palm]

Started randomly getting yeeted and having lobby issues. Turned out it was Windows Firewall blocking FF out of nowhere. Set it back to Private and Public manually and boom, fixed. Must be having so many connection errors Windows thinks it's spyware.

[hollow ice]

[split forum]

||Vrtra’s ugly, lmao ||

[grave raft]

||that's the sharlayan/thavnair split, right? if so a bit longer first dungeon is at 81||

[slate atlas]

How is the story so far for yall

[vital vale]

Absoulutely love the fact that this game is thriving but uh

I literally went to go talk to my parents about something and the holy spirit came and attacked me

[split forum]

Slow so far, but an interesting reveal already, so that’s neat

[gaunt star]

thank you!

[gaunt star]

long setup it appears, but i know it'll pay off. some really good cutscenes and a great reveal.

[fiery shoal]

If we already purchased the whole edda+scythe stuff before, do we need to purchase the reaper weapon separately?

Also on top of that, how do we get the deluxe edition items? I logged in and the only things available were the pre-order stuff

[gaunt star]

for real. i just got there

[obtuse canopy]

Am I missing something or is Phlegma III weaker than Phlegma ?

Phlegma damage : 400 + 400x0.7 (280)

Phlegma III damage : 510 + 510x0.5 (255)

Might be better when there's not so many mobs, but I think Phlegma might be stronger against 10+ mobs ?

[gaunt star]

is this the new.. idk whatever hardcore content glowy weapons came from

[obtuse canopy]

PoTD ?

[gaunt star]

oh its palace of the dead lol

I was just surprised a reaper already has glowy weapons on launch day

[errant perch]

can people pls join the first ew trial. i got a 30 min wait

[slender python]

How is sage looking so far?

[obtuse canopy]

But yeah, I'm calculating a potency of 2920 on 10 targets using Phlegma against 2805 when using Phlegma III

Also, not the biggest fan of the double GCD when applying DoTs :/

[final stone]

I'm channeling your name a bit. My queue was 3100 and kicked me again at 2400. I'd been trying since 4:30pm est to get on and it's 8:30. 😅

[gaunt star]

Loving it

[slender python]

Any reason why exactly? How flashy is it

[brisk sapphire]

Aight so ||After we kill Zodiark and shit goes down on the planet, people are transformed into monsters, which is basically exactly what happened in Shadowbringer, right? In Shadowbringer, it is an excess of light aether that caused the transformation into sin eaters, so it would make sense if the absence of light aether cuased the transformation into demon or some shit||

[lusty hazel]

Xmas bun c:

[gaunt star]

It's just everything I wanted in a healer and combines my favorite aspects of each of the healer roles together.

Sage is what I was excited for most in this expansion though tbh. So I am bias.

[lusty hazel]

I just want more healers and tanks. More creative ideas like this. Sage is so gooood.

[slender python]

Is it easy to use cause I'm dumb

[obtuse canopy]

I'd say it's fairly easy, might be a tad confusing at first because you're diving in a lvl 70 new job you've never played and have a lotta spells to learn, but past that it's pretty simple

[obsidian osprey]

https://gyazo.com/71b9de23629308b7ea6c65d7cb1f731f soooo....how long do you guys think ill have to wait?

[obtuse canopy]

If you've played other healers, you'll be fine

[slender python]

White Mage is the only one

Until level 50 😬

[hollow ice]

scholar is level 30

[slender python]

Er yes I know

Saying I've only tried WM until I got to level 50

Then went Red Mage

[hollow ice]

sage is allright feels like an inbetween of scholar and astro so far but thats prolly cuz im still getting used to it

[rotund vapor]

Let me back in I’ve been a good noodle Q.Q

[mental night]

4000 person queue and I got reset cause 2002 error smh imma cry

[karmic island]

LADIES AND GENTS (and enbies)

I MADE IT IN!!! AFTER 3 AND A HALF HOURS! I DID IT!

[obsidian osprey]

I hope that doesnt happen to me

[karmic island]

lmao that happened to me over 10 times

[distant quartz]

congrats!

[obsidian osprey]

how long did it take for you to get in? Was that hyperbole or were you being fr serious 😭

[stark linden]

Seems pretty lucky to me

Everytime I've been in Q for longer than 5-10 minutes its 2002 or 4004s me

[obsidian osprey]

oh so it depends then....well either way. Looks like this queue wait is gonna take more than 10 mins for me

[stark linden]

Probably depends on the DC yeah

My DC can rest easy, I'm done bothering so thats one less person to worry about lol

[obsidian osprey]

DC? Wdym?

[weary yoke]

datacenter

[stark linden]

Data center, i imagine a lot of people are using anti-afk measures to stop from being logged out

Seems impossible to get in right now so ill set an alarm for like 3 am

[karmic island]

oh no i was being dead serious

[obsidian osprey]

.

what.

[obsidian osprey]

Dude tbh. I mean. I understand why they're doing it and they're smart i guess. But at the same time. It feels like a dick move.

[karmic island]

yep! constant crashing and reloading! like i said i crashed over 10 times and almost every time i did the bare minimum was around 1k people. highest i saw was around 5k

[neon terrace]

I wish I could get to even character selection

[obsidian osprey]

ima cry

[karmic island]

go ahead, because you'll be crying for a while.

It's gonna get worse before it gets better lol

[obtuse canopy]

You'll have to use your damaging spells tho, I know some healers don't like to dps, Sage sorta has to, his dmg also heals

[karmic island]

hoping i don't crash again. btw! if you think this is bad, wait for tuesday :)))

[obsidian osprey]

tbh. This is making me want to ask. If this is how its gonna be. Should i do the anti afk stuff...? Cuz honestly i hate this.

[karmic island]

just play the game bro

[stark linden]

I don't mind the Q time (google classic wow launch btw) but the fact it kicks you out of the game and makes you restart the Q is pure evil ;-;

[neon terrace]

"Oh cool, I made it to character selection, can't wait to get into the game prope-"

[obsidian osprey]

Okay....its just when im not and i have to be greeted by the true final boss of Endwalker.....World Queue Times and it's companion Evil Crash

[neon terrace]

but are you sure about that?

[stark linden]

From what I understand 2002 isnt a crash btw

It means the world is 100% full right?

[karmic island]

it's not. i said earlier, its when over 17k people are trying to enter at once and the servers go into overload

[obtuse canopy]

2002 is a third of your queue position*

[neon terrace]

2002 is "damn that's a lot of people"

Not to discourage you or anything, but error 2002 is the reason why I could finally log in at 1 AM despite trying to since 3 PM

[obsidian osprey]

oh god

[neon terrace]

I'm just gonna go play Minecraft and hope that the servers are quieter in the morning.

but oh wait, it's fuckin Saturday tomorrow

[mental tangle]

If i were u i will wait till 3 am

[sage atlas]

what awaits you tomorrow:

[brisk sapphire]

Man this expansion went full 180 in term of theme lol

[brisk sapphire]

I only had a 30 minutes queue, but this was 15 hours ago

[obsidian osprey]

fr tho. Im ngl. I just keep getting 2002 whenever i get start. Im fr about to just...idek. I was planning to just play ew today

[obtuse canopy]

I said this earlier as a joke, but it turns out to be true for a lot of people.. lol

By the time you get to log in, it's bedtime

[sage atlas]

oh, are we going for high score now?

[obtuse canopy]

[neon terrace]

I shouldn't be laughing this hard

[tired oyster]

dammit you beat me to getting the image off twitter

[sage atlas]

fastest rightclick in the west

[trail wing]

Bruh this is so infuriating, I can’t even go to the queue

[obtuse canopy]

I just logged off the game, there's no turning back.

[obsidian osprey]

https://gyazo.com/78f5d809456124f5d1a8261590ffe2e0 errr they needa fix the 2002 issue. Or can they even fix 2002?

[sage atlas]

i got past 10,000 people into the game tonight after a 10 hour queue time

and then my modem restarted itself.

[tired oyster]

But before Queue Ultimate you gotta get through launcher savage

[obsidian osprey]

cant get log on if you get kicked out/crash

[modest palm]

Windows Firewall again for me.

[fringe grotto]

Where is the reaper questline and where is the tomestone scythe that looks like it's from RWBY?

[sage atlas]

don't forget about Error 2002 (Extreme)

[tired oyster]

nah thats just the enrage timer

[mental tangle]

Just hope the queue dosent enrage

[brisk sapphire]

The rough patch is going to be over hte weekend

[weary yoke]

really, really gotta figure out these 2-hour disconnects

[obsidian osprey]

https://gyazo.com/dd18a9f7eb96311943388dd6b4e535c9 So we made it.....but at what cost...

[brisk sapphire]

As long as people don't setup macros to avoid the AFK kick over night, tomorrow morning shoudl be alright but rest of the weekend is gonna be full.

[sage atlas]

hahaha yeah oh god yall thought today was bad

[obtuse canopy]

Reach sub50 position in queue, crash, you're the one getting enraged 😏

[tired oyster]

unfortunately my pc is refusing to do anything remotely intensive so im unable to even attempt the new login raids

[modest palm]

3720 on Sarg and not moving an inch. "Could not load character data." That's a new one.

[obsidian osprey]

fr. I hate people that are doing that but at the same time i understand why they're doing that....tbh im debating if i should steep down low to that cuz this error 2002 aint it

[spare stone]

2,120 on Primal

[sage atlas]

not even the echo can prepare me for what im about to do to this mf

[gaunt star]

Man that long af queue is making me resist falling asleep. I just want to finish this branch off in the beginning but I'm so tired and this story setup isnt' exactly the most exciting in the Sharlayan part.

[brisk sapphire]

They alread said they would ban anyone that get caught circumventing the afk kick

[sage atlas]

wait, shit. so don't do the hud layout trick.

[tired oyster]

quick illegal tip if they haven't patched it out yet, you dont get kicked if in a conversation with an npc

[lethal anvil]

anyone knows where to get lvl 90 AF gear?

[sage atlas]

how in fuck all are you 90 already

[obsidian osprey]

yeah nvm. I think....idek i just wanna play ew

[modest palm]

Could I just take a moment to remark the special loathing I have for RMT sellers right now?

[hearty ravine]

Is bozja still good for levelling up 81-90 or is it only 71-80?

[tired oyster]

but yeah i would only use it if you need to do smth for an hour max before getting back on

[open orchid]

just made this if anyone wants to rip old sharlayan (night) on the guitar during queue

[sage atlas]

bruh its been less than 24 hours, there is no way in hell someone hit 90 already

[brisk sapphire]

Just saying that in general it's a dick move and just leads to even more queue problem. During New world launch this was a plague with close to 40% of players afking running at all time, if that 40% was just cycling in an hour, that would have reduced average queue time from 2 hours to about 20 minutes

[hollow ice]

with enough grind and lots of skipping anything is possible

[obsidian osprey]

then nevermind. I wouldnt do it. I guess it really is just adding more problems than a solution for all

[mental tangle]

https://tenor.com/view/monkey-monke-dame-dame-da-ne-monkey-selfie-gif-18120991

[obsidian osprey]

But the alternative is.....not pleasant. Unless they fix the 2002 thing. But does anyone know the cause of the 2002 error?

[distant quartz]

too many people trying to log in at once

[mental tangle]

Yep

[distant quartz]

data centers have a cap of around 17,000 people

[tired oyster]

A good way to measure general player progress in the exp is to look at this and see the latest quest levels, but there is the possibility that a quest name could be a spoiler so proceed at own risk ||https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Main_Scenario_Quests||

[mental tangle]

Im olmost there

[spare stone]

2002 error when I was at 2007, reconnected, now at 1,819, It's like every time I get kicked I relog and have moved up a couple hundred spots.

[tired oyster]

sounds like your lucky by most peoples accounts

[worthy trellis]

Maybe its because I've been doing this for 20+ years, but this is one of the smoothest expansion launches I've seen in ages. Servers are as stable as you can expect from patch day, and there don't seem to be any major log jam moments in game

[tired oyster]

i haven't tried yet

[barren karma]

https://tenor.com/view/fire-lala-lalafell-potato-evil-gif-17646776

[mental tangle]

Souns good

[spare stone]

Yeah. I'm thinking it might have been a better idea to do it mid-week. But other than that this is as good as could be expected for prime time on a game with this many players.

[mental tangle]

So bahamut is not a primal cuz it is a dragon

[brisk sapphire]

Tiem for bed after 15 hours of ff14 lul

[hollow ice]

theres the dragon bahamut and the primal bahamut they are different

25 million subscribed, and only 17k per datacenter

The solution is simple, we need more datacenters.

[cyan pawn]

What is a good way to level up past 80? I need to get to 83 and its incredibly slow T-T

[tired oyster]

if you count mostly joke speculation as spoiler dont click ||tataru taru is going to be the surprise villian of the game, we know all lalafells are evil plus in the first poster here hydealyn is at top and zodiark is at bottom, second poster, hydealyn is top, tataru taru is bottom.

[mental tangle]

A full lvl or more that half

Oof. Yeeted at 3107.

Thank you so much

[floral prawn]

guys which quest do you think I should do first the ||Krile ||one or the ||Thancred ||one?

[hollow ice]

he wants 80+ leveling so stormblood stuff is out the question really XD

[mental tangle]

Wow queie is going down fast

[dusky shoal]

summoner mains really feeling themselves this expansion

[hollow ice]

think of it this way ||where you are right now or india||

[dusky shoal]

woah wtf lmao

[mental tangle]

Thats from shadowbrigers

[dusky shoal]

wait what world are you from?

[spare trail]

Does anyone know where to get the Lv90 gear?

AF Gear***

[hollow ice]

SB is stormblood, shb is shadowbringers

[floral prawn]

that's an interesting take, I should save the best for last I guess

[mental tangle]

Primals

[dusky shoal]

thats your server bro i mean world

[mental tangle]

Famfrit

[dusky shoal]

we're from the same server but we might be on different worlds

oh yeah famfrit is packed

[mental tangle]

Ok no spoilers

Bad bad miqote

[floral prawn]

most certainly, I am more excited for the ||Thancred group though for sure ||

[vernal nacelle]

@mental tangle What? No spoilers? The description of this section literally says "Discussion for a new major patch or live letter. This includes and isn't limited to spoilers surrounding MSQ...."

[hollow ice]

but this is the place for 6.0 spoilers basically XD

[mental tangle]

ok im gona go now

||elidibus ring a bell ?||

you caaaaall?

[vernal nacelle]

@lyric crater Yeah of course. Though I never really understood what Elidibus's story really meant in 5.2/5.3. It was all very inscrutable.

[hollow ice]

this is like the second time I heard that today

[mental tangle]

Dam bro dam

[hollow ice]

this Matsya guy must be very adorable

[fierce wing]

EW's pretty good, you guys should try it

[hollow ice]

so then why do people like him so much since I havent met him yet

[spare stone]

848! Let's go.

[vernal nacelle]

Matsya floated in the air for me when I ran off a ledge, lol.

[steep cosmos]

3380 in queue......BUNNYS PLEASE

[vernal nacelle]

I took a break mid afternoon to watch the new WoT episode and had about a 2k queue when I got back. Went out to grab some food and was nearly in when I got back.

[fierce wing]

i woke up, logged in and had a 20person queue

[mental tangle]

Not all is lost mi friend

https://youtu.be/v9QD25nakt8

[floral prawn]

guys am I the only one who thinks that while Endwalker might be great, It will not surpass the greatness of Shadowbringers, I think Shb raised the bar too high

[fierce wing]

Yeah imo shb was better

[hollow ice]

so far the early EW is better than early shb for me

[spare stone]

446 eeeeee

[fierce wing]

yeah and im level 89 with all flying unlocked

[floral prawn]

I mean Shb was a steady climb to a phenomenal finale

[fierce wing]

ye, EW has more climaxes

[chrome sundial]

WE HAVE HATS?!

[crude cave]

Doe anyone know how much exp we get doing msq from the start of endwalker to it's end compared to level 80 to 90?

[vivid notch]

tail end of 82 almost 83 spoilers: mmm I wonder how that feels, ||Gaius. How about you ask the people like 50 feet away from you? I'm sure they can talk a little bit about the subject.||

[fierce wing]

i mean you're supposed to experience and decide for yourself :x

[vernal nacelle]

One of the best things with ShB was how hard the big emotional monologues / events between characters hit and EW definitely has some good ones already so far at 82, but I think there may be actually -too many- and it kind of dulls the special-ness a bit.

[haughty sparrow]

anyone know if this jacket is obtainable?

[hollow ice]

welp ive met Matsya and I now understand

[vernal nacelle]

"Some amazing rocks to smell"?

[fierce wing]

hehe trees

[vivid notch]

||I agree with Sadu tbh, just kill everyone in the fucking place, raze garlemald to the ground||

[floral prawn]

I think a big part of what made Shb great was the main villain(Emet selch) I don't find Fandnaiel and Zenos that interesting to be honest

[sick flame]

I do love me some emet

[rain onyx]

Does the NPC have a name?

[fierce wing]

You get tsun emet

[rain onyx]

That’ll make it easier to find

[hollow ice]

at least hes here to narrate XD

[sick flame]

Emet is definately vastly better, however from what Ive seen the amount of other lore dump that is going on in EW is so intriguing

[fierce wing]

abit more

[fierce wing]

Sharleya is just a better limsa

[gaunt star]

I'm mixed with how I feel. Out of the two split paths in the beginning, I did Thavnair first and I found it SO interesting and fun, but Sharlayan is so boring to me.

[untold sail]

The first trial REALLY lives up to its hype omg

[crude cave]

Open world limsa

[gaunt star]

omg so excited

[fierce wing]

i didnt like the design reminded me of sephiroth from top up

[untold sail]

The fight was still tons of fun for being normal mode

[fierce wing]

but i died 5 times in that fight so yay

[sick flame]

the battle tho is awesome, especially with the new mechanics

[gaunt star]

I'm so excited to see all the new mechanics in the dungeons and stuff

[floral prawn]

I mean I would assume zodraik and hydalen both have big parts to play, so that will be interesting to see

[sick flame]

I am at lvl 85 and so much has been revealed and yet i am not finished with the damn expansion, I literally cannot predict what they are doing

[fierce wing]

Zodiark and hydalyn were in a S&M relationship
change my mind

[sick flame]

"they" as in Square Enix

[split forum]

An…. Interesting take

[floral prawn]

well I am at lvl 80 and i am extremely excited of what's to come

[fierce wing]

You just need to remove zodiark's desire for freedom that you read during the MSQ

[midnight fossil]

aaaaaaaaa

[torn robin]

Who's that aetherite chicks voice actor? I swear I recognise that voice... ._.

[crude cave]

You mean another stormblood base

no it crashed....back to the end of line. 😦

[candid mirage]

Sharleya just feels like Switzerland politically???

[fickle solar]

Is there a way to get back to Radz-at-Han after you first visit to pick up the caster role quest there? Level 82, was unable to attune to the aetherite yet

Thank you!

[obsidian osprey]

guys. I have a question. Well yeah. Is there a specific reason for the 2002 error crashing?

[split forum]

Servers crying out in pain

[mental night]

ok hear me out... Cactuar doesn't need to play today, give resources to everywhere else lmao

[obsidian osprey]

honestly. Im ngl. I can see that. and this is the result. I feel bad for the servers now. Here I am complaining .-.

[vernal nacelle]

Wasn't there mention of Error 2002 being something they knew would happen in SE's post a couple of days ago before launch.

[mental tangle]

Yes im in jejeje

[vernal nacelle]

||Oh god I'm in Ala Mhigo at the meeting and SHE just got here. Mommy.||

[obsidian osprey]

oh okay. I see. Well. What's the solution then? Or things will just be like this till EW calms down?

and shit this is just early access....imagine when dec 7th hits

[vernal nacelle]

@native delta https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/topics/detail/1f70135439286fa66209cd21c10e73ebb986a6ee

*“Error 2002” may be displayed when selecting a character in the Character Selection menu. This error is displayed when the login server is experiencing high amounts of traffic or when the number of characters waiting in a login queue for a logical Data Center exceeds 17,000. This is a measure to prevent the server from crashing due to extreme traffic overloads.

Should you encounter Error 2002 when attempting to log in, we apologize for the inconvenience, but ask that you wait a while before trying again.*

[steady coral]

I think early access will actually make it smoother on the 7th.

[vernal nacelle]

That was from 4 days ago.

[split forum]

That’s when the 2nd secret dalamud hits and wipes out eorzea for real this time

[vernal nacelle]

No need for Lyse hate, jeez. It's as overdone as Cape Westwind meme-ing.

||Yes, she shows up. You go to Ala Mhigo for a meeting getting all the nations together to go to Garlemald and she's got a big speaking part in that cutscene.||

[native delta]

I knew this expansion was giving me Stormblood vibes… I thought it was just the overuse of one song,,,

[gaunt star]

The best part of Lyse is in SB when ystola shits on her “you gathered us all here for that” she was joking, but not really

lol

[native delta]

||Lyse showing up isn’t bad on its own tbqh||

[gaunt star]

I imagine a lot of people gonna show up from the past

oh boy.

im getting close to the second dungeon and this game is destroying me

Worse than 5.3?

its fucked.

i feel like alot of us want to experience the emotional trauma.

[drifting reef]

I woke up at 3:30 this morning, had a coffee, ceued, waited 5 mins and played for 14 hours, non stop, with no problems.
It took me 5 mins to get a party as a tank on the 1st new dungeon.

[gaunt star]

Are the dungeons pretty good?

[drifting reef]

Hell yes.

[gaunt star]

I heard story is good, new zones kinda meh

[native delta]

About me. I have a feeling ||we’re gonna lose at least Scion.|| I don’t know who, and I don’t want to know who, or when, or why, or how, or how many. I just know I’m gonna cry

[sonic atlas]

woke up 30 mins before release, been on for so long

[gaunt star]

I played at launch got my reaper to 72 and logged lol

Prob do msq w reaper

[drifting reef]

Right? Smooth as butter. I just jumped because I had to do some adulting.

[dull lake]

Involving ||Fandaniel||'s VA, i do have a feeling his voice is incredibly weird, the tone of his voice changes dramatically in almost every cutscene he is in

sometimes he's the voice he always had before, sometimes it keeps going back and forth with different tones

[gaunt star]

I wonder if Japanese language the same w the tone

[dull lake]

i know in japanese is the same consistently cuz i'm watching a friend play in JP audio alongside me

[gaunt star]

Ah weird

[drifting reef]

Well I loved the new zone because I'm an old gamer and it's one big call back. Hit me in the nostalgia.

[dull lake]

it's only in english where his voice tone is consistently shifting in almost every cutscene with no rhyme or reason

[gaunt star]

That’s kinda shitty. VA didn’t try. Sadge

[drifting reef]

New dungeon*

[dusky shoal]

the Goat

[dull lake]

none of the tones are bad

it's just that suddenly his voice for the character is completely different

[hollow ice]

maybe thats the point

[gaunt star]

Same person?

[dull lake]

i dunno, i don't think it's the point either cuz in JP this isnt the case

[vernal nacelle]

||Man with how much they're CONSTANTLY driving home how cold Garlemald is while we're getting ready to go there it's making me feel bad for wearing the Stormlood BRD AF set with its short-shorts and kneeboots, lol.||

[gaunt star]

He does seem like his character is supposed to be unstable. Maybe it’s intentional

[hollow ice]

maybe theres context that can be better expressed linguistically in the jp version but better vocally in the eng version

[dusky shoal]

so about that possible new King thordan ultimate and Nidhog ultimate

[split forum]

Woop, woop. Finally got to tower of zot

I love the DNC changes. Makes switching between single target and AoE so much more seamless

[gaunt star]

Has there been a lot of Emet narration?

[drifting reef]

PLD has a HUGE window for the magic rotation

[hardy wind]

Blaze it!

[vernal nacelle]

I love that BRD's AoE DoT-finisher isn't the same cooldown as the single target DoT-finisher now and is its own seperate proc.

Also the increased DoT duration is super nice.

Revenant’a toll iirc

[neon terrace]

Bottom paragraph

So then why are you looking for where to exchange them?

[frosty jolt]

wow, the first trial is nuts

[rose arch]

How far is the first trial from ||when we get collared||

[frosty jolt]

idk

[neon terrace]

Well, sorry that I was too slow, then. Didn't have to be rude about it. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[distant quartz]

Finally got in!

[steep sorrel]

[boreal palm]

BIG Spoiler question: ||Zodiark is literally first trial right ||

[mental night]

alright who is selling their queue position since I got reset like 3 times now

[vernal nacelle]

Oh wow I just realized all the constellations for the members of the Convocation are lit up in the sky with different colored stars. Is that new for EW?

[distant quartz]

Ok i just started 6.0

And that voice... is that uuh O_O

oh my god

[sonic atlas]

IF THATS RIGHT I FUCKEN KNEW IT

[mellow spade]

3,000 is like a hour of waiting to enter right

[sonic atlas]

uhm. depends?

[boreal palm]

Afaik it’s right unless I just heard wrong

[sonic atlas]

3k took a lot of people a few hours, with multiple disconnects and “2002”

[rose arch]

I was at 3k and it was like an hour and 15

[sonic atlas]

i mean, nothings worse than this

[mental night]

why do I have to share a server with MoonMoon smh all his viewers are probably trying to follow him around too

[fierce wing]

||Venat|| is no longer my favourite mom character,||Hydalyn|| is.

[mental tangle]

The xp also was dowzised

[hardy wind]

Amount of xp needxed was downsized

[mental tangle]

Also the amount u gain

[fierce wing]

ye but u only need 10.8mil

[gusty quiver]

Queues looking like 15-20 mintues for primal... ain't bad tbh

[weary rampart]

i got delayed in Sharlayan so much .....bcoz of the music

[gusty quiver]

please finish that

[fierce wing]

AG only needs level 89

[gusty quiver]

YOU ARE A PUBIC HAIR AWAY

[fierce wing]

chill im already 90

[gusty quiver]

Oh good

[fierce wing]

idk what the lock means tho

[gusty quiver]

[hardy wind]

did you skip cutscenes or do they chill after the first 2 hours?

[steep kiln]

does sage have a dot

[hollow ice]

yes eukrasia your single target

[fierce wing]

no chill there's some long ones

[boreal palm]

Is anyone done with msq yet

[steep kiln]

thats not a dot

[hollow ice]

it is tho

[hardy wind]

my god I didnt even leave a town for 2 hours. So much story frontloaded

[fierce wing]

rmber ARR long cutscene warning?

[mental tangle]

Reapers and sages everiwere

[boreal palm]

Oohhh do you get that

[steep kiln]

do you mean eukrasia WITH my st?

[fierce wing]

you get like iirc 2 of thoses

[hollow ice]

that is what I said

[vale cedar]

Is sage easy to pick up for thoes that havent healed before?

[hollow ice]

the eukrasian version of the single target is a dot

[steep kiln]

no

[steep kiln]

no. its a shield healer and like, identical to sch

[vale cedar]

Alrighty thank youuuu!!

[hollow ice]

definitely not

[steep kiln]

sure it isnt

[vale cedar]

I hope I didnt start an argument...

[hollow ice]

on the second part at least, its more an inbetween with sch and ast but you also have a mini tbn

[hardy wind]

How about someone who played Disc priest in wow, back when it wasnt an atonement healer and was just spam bubbles on everyone?

[steep kiln]

no im just. bitter looking at it

[vale cedar]

But the point is

[magic forge]

It takes some time to getting used to, yes. But once you get the hang of switching up shields , you'll live

[vale cedar]

Sage isnt for begginers into healing

[steep kiln]

yeah definitely not

[hollow ice]

yeah its a very aggressive healer

[steep kiln]

zoe is emergency tactics…

[vale cedar]

Alrighty cool 😄

reaper is alot of fun tho

[boreal palm]

Wait are you almost done with msq????

[fierce wing]

uh doesnt feel like it

[boreal palm]

Or just farming ah okay

[split forum]

A magical flower with unspecified power to aid us? hollow knight flashbacks intensify

[frigid oasis]

is reaper difficult?

[hollow ice]

idk the power seemed pretty specified

[hollow ice]

reaper is pretty simple actually, not too much to worry about, you keep your buff up build your gauge and spend, use your fancy ability and repeat

[split forum]

It’s going to seal zodiark?

[north silo]

I find Sage a lot easier than SCH…. Sage is kinda like the WHM of barrier healing in the sense that it’s easy

[steep kiln]

yeah ive heard its pretty fluid

[frigid oasis]

alright, I've only played DRK, and it looked kinda complicated from the job preview videos

[fierce wing]

im only at here

[boreal crystal]

Anyone tested if tying your analog stick / pushing down on mouse prevents auto logout? I’ve been trying to get into the game for 6 hours now with the Error 2002/4004 resetting my que up to 8000 at times.

[hollow ice]

it reacts to emotions and changes color, its a mood ring flower

[north silo]

It does

Apparently ShB dungeons are more efficient for levelling cause you can use the EXP earring buff on top of armory meaning 130% whereas in Bozja you can only use armory buff

[split forum]

Yeah, I know. The flower in hollow knight makes the shade lord go away, and they look similar. Just goofing around

[vernal nacelle]

||Damn, Lyse looks really good in the Ala Mhigan Resistance gear when you go to Garlemald.||

[spiral notch]

Hey, any one got images of the first dungeons gearset?

[magic forge]

Crit diagnosis feels better than crit adlo

[hollow ice]

but my addersting ;-;

[inner ice]

who is the voice over person, they sound familiar but i cannot figure it out

[hollow ice]

Emet

[mellow spade]

so how's the story looking like?

[inner ice]

thats who i thought

[magic forge]

questions were answered, that's for sure

[spiral notch]

So far, so good.

[uneven agate]

Ive been #4 in queue for two hours trying to get back to my world. fuuuck.

[mellow spade]

but in a good way or just spam answering

[uneven agate]

total of 6 hours

[magic forge]

And Sharlayan can eat their knowledge those self righteous pricks

[magic forge]

in a good way-ish

[fierce wing]

sad and depressing at the start, then builds up to some nice big poggers moments

[gaunt star]

I agree. I think its more similar to AST than it is SCH personally.

[hardy wind]

Their imitations of indian accents is offensive and hillarious

[mellow spade]

yeah i thought the same lmaoo

[gaunt star]

My computer crashed the minute I unlocked the first dungeon so now I'm stuck in q

[hardy wind]

I always forget how much of a pain aether currents are

[mental tangle]

Blac mage is so dam good

[fierce wing]

feel that pain

[crude cave]

So far more than self righteous i feel like they are trying to preserve what they have worked for for so long, without compromises.

[echo orbit]

Bunch of INT without WIS is what they are

[gaunt star]

im seriously going crazy, why does it sound so much like toriels house in undertale, did toby fox work with soken ||https://youtu.be/0L-9YZTpcNY||

[inner ice]

he must have learned a thing or 2

[split forum]

Alphy is the studiums most notorious master debator?

[uneven agate]

Is the world queu broken? Ive been #4 for over 2 hours. I feel upset at wasting so much fucking time.

[hollow ice]

servers are goin bonkers from the load

[rose arch]

Can someone please help me? ||where is the magitek fuel when you’re sneaking around in the body that isn’t yours?||

[fierce wing]

Go back like 2-3 rows of collapsed buildings

Its in the fuel-concealed stuff or fallen magitek reapers

Also keep in mind enemies actually respawn in there

[vernal nacelle]

I love how they've integrated some new mechanics into the general questing gameplay in EW. Like the "follow this person and don't be seen" thing. Helps to break up a MSQ that by and large has a lot in common with Visual Novel type games otherwise.

@split forum Haha, yeah that one cracked me up too.

[still sparrow]

ok so

are the servers more stable today?

[uneven agate]

I might have to angrily cut my losses and avoid the sunk cost fallacy, and just try to level some reaper somehow.

[fierce wing]

when do i use this

[vernal nacelle]

||Okay, I gotta say, only been in Garlemald a little bit so far but it is SO the best zone so far.||

[hollow ice]

probably when you wanna dps through a few attacks/do something else than heal

[fierce wing]

||imo it's the best storywise, but i hate crossing through the rubble, i like the moon.||

[vernal nacelle]

||I love that they have a little radio on the table playing presumably Garlean music when you're around the fire with the refugees. Such a neat little detail.||

[hardy wind]

I just finished Thavnair and ||I did not see the dragon twist coming||

[vernal nacelle]

@hardy wind I thought that was super cool.

[uneven agate]

How long do you have to claim mail from the mogstore?

[sand breach]

does anyone know what the purple portal thingies are?

[vernal nacelle]

Reaper thing I think.

[sand breach]

ah

[steep sorrel]

Thancred is my husband reminder#2017

[sand breach]

no he's MINE

[steep sorrel]

Nah b. Mine

[sand breach]

unfortunate i'll take graha then

[modest palm]

I love that the Kobold Patriarch's VA is going completely ham with it.

[errant perch]

graha is so fucking precious omg

[modest palm]

Just grinning in every scene he's in.

[errant perch]

I love him ||the quest where he comes talk to you in the hotel room is just so precious||

[modest palm]

He is Reading Rainbow incarnate.

[inner ice]

this music is a vibe and a half

[errant perch]

hes like a marshmallow

[split forum]

He’s just so relentlessly cheerful, it’s endearing

Which, given the memories he has, isn’t surprising now that he’s in much better times

[modest palm]

"I don't know what's happening but this is AWESOME!"

[mighty light]

I reeeeeally like the way Sharlayan's being written so far
Still in the first section of Labyrinthos but I much prefer this general sense of wonder and excitement to the weird dour scholar thing a lot of games and stories do for societies like this
Anyway back to ignoring this channel

[native delta]

THAT FIRST DUNGEON

THEY ARE NOT EVEN IN THE VICINITY OF FUCKING AROUND

[hollow ice]

queuing for the first dungeon crashed my internet

[native delta]

The mechanics go hard. Like REALLY hard

[fierce wing]

Hey looks its the virus

[narrow plover]

Can players get this outfit in endwalker?

[severe brook]

i noticed that too; ||also somewhat fitting given it plays a lot when a loving mother figure shows up||

[narrow plover]

I want this dress

[split forum]

The first boss was the hardest for me. The last took time, but I think the first was harder just from catching you off guard from just how devious it was

[narrow plover]

Anyone has this outfit yet?

[narrow plover]

This

[fierce wing]

no i only got this from MSQ

[narrow plover]

How???????

[native delta]

idk if anyone knows yet

[fierce wing]

MSQ , sorry forgot to put

[native delta]

I’m sure you’ll be able to be a US Senator eventually

[teal robin]

Oh those are cute

[gaunt star]

erenville's jp va sounds familiar

[split forum]

[grave raft]

||They went all out on the blood in Garlemald||

[vale ice]

Did any1 else aether compass got broken after the patch, like it's crossed over, and can't be used?

[grave raft]

it's in the collection tab now

duty > collection

[vale ice]

Oh yea, me dumb didn't read

thanks

[late aurora]

These “follow people” missions are driving me nuts

[prisma vine]

i adore them

[north silo]

Is Zadnor or Bozja better for levelling

[narrow plover]

I think they pulled another kugane kimono tease on us. Showing us outfits we can’t have. I looked thru garland tools it’s not there

[late aurora]

Same exp

[zealous nexus]

Any other warriors think that the new healing effect on raw intuition (nascent flash) is pretty alright? I'm only level 59 at the moment but the healing feels insane. Especially since it heals on each hit (i.e. AoE is healing * number of targets) I'm sitting with around lets say 12k hp and each hit heals me for just over 1k. Against 6 mobs I get ~6k healing (50% of my max hp) per GCD

[north silo]

Ye but I heard one map is bigger than the other so it takes longer to move around

[atomic rivet]

is there a new deep dungeon or no

[north silo]

That’s coming in 6.1 I think

[magic forge]

any suggestions to level 2ndary jobs from 80-81?

[hollow ice]

level 79 dungeons + roulettes if you still have any

[gaunt star]

this expansion so far is kitty goes on trial against the american educational system

[wanton jay]

bro Tower of Zot was insane for first dungeon

[fierce wing]

He's such a chad. (ending spoiler)

[uneven agate]

After 3 hours right when I was going to exit, my world queue went from 4 to 3. I wonder if it will go any faster...

[rose arch]

How long after the second dungeon is the first trial?

[fierce wing]

just a few quests away

to build up why the trial guy is there

[gaunt star]

HOLY SHIT IT HAS TO BE PURPOSEFUL

[lyric crater]

#retired-patch-6-3-discussion message

[uneven agate]

Fucking finally. on my own world. But now my sound is off...

[sage atlas]

I take it queue times are still out of control lmao

[spiral warren]

is anyone else getting sound stuttering

like music and sfx lagging in combat

[shrewd bobcat]

where all my hp go v-v

[late aurora]

Stat squish

[shrewd bobcat]

A Book with Bite feels harder than it should be

[modern steeple]

what's reaper and sage lb3 names

[shrewd bobcat]

boss can kill me in 5 hits 🤔

[hollow ice]

I remember that reapers is called "The End"

[desert flower]

so since the voidsent are avatars of ourselves, would we get hurt if they get hurt?

[winged hill]

The dub is diversifying the accents. Neato

[vocal sorrel]

Do we know how to get the AF gear for endwalker yet?

[gaunt star]

Progress the story

[north silo]

What’s the fastest way to level jobs from 71-80?

[hollow ice]

bozja/roulette/dungeon

[magic forge]

Bozja if you can keep up with the FATE trains. Or dungeons

[gray cobalt]

So, what was the extent of the smart afk detection? Are people actually getting kicked while idling at retainers and using HUD layout?

[glad maple]

Anyone else regret becoming a male viera?

[uneven agate]

I was considering becoming one. I doubt id regret it

also, are there no fates running at all?

[glad maple]

You’ll regret it once you see non of the glam plate with helm and hats match him since he can’t wear hats lol

[hollow ice]

ive done a few in the new zones

[gaunt star]

Anyone here has a list of the new available hairstyles for female Viera?

[steep kiln]

endwaller doing a really shit job of making me care about garlemald tbh

[fierce wing]

So, after playing the game, I can say it was worth it.

[mossy pawn]

I dont regret becoming a male viera at all really

Forcibly feminized this boy

[late bronze]

I don't regret to skipped all cs, imho all quest are boring, expecially new ones, where you have to follow or being followed.

[mossy pawn]

I was worried that male viera were all gonna have small baby nose. But i saw an option with a nice nose bridge

[balmy mesa]

why would you say something so brave yet so controversial

[crystal pendant]

anyone know how long the msq is? :o

[fierce wing]

88 quests

[crystal pendant]

oh thats shorter than SHB huh

[fierce wing]

I feel like this expansion has alot of the RP missions tho

[crystal pendant]

ah i see.. thank you!!

[wind bough]

Longer in overall duration

Quest number doesn’t give that good an indication of actual playtime

Because quest lengths are variable

[crystal pendant]

gotcha gotcha, that makes sense

[gaunt star]

I love this update

[late aurora]

I got ||wind-up Anima||

More reason to redo that dungeon I guess

[gaunt star]

now I feel obligated to activate all the shards cause of the visual communication of the unatunned shards being unavailable
so now I want those listed shards to have color

the game doesnt force me to do it
but fucking hell that unactivated color is taunting me so they're all in uniform

[crimson pollen]

Is this for 6.0 lore discussion, too?

[late aurora]

I wouldn’t

[mossy pawn]

No more aether current hunting?

@crimson pollen id take that to spoilers. Some people just wanna talk about job stuff, male vieras, new patch stuff, here without spoils

[late aurora]

We still have to do currents as usual

[mossy pawn]

Currents, yes, but how?

Compass is gone. Its been removed

[unreal cairn]

/collection

[crimson pollen]

tytyty

Holy Sheltron is super op, btw

[mossy pawn]

I see! I didnt know it went into collections my b

@crimson pollen who gets sheltron. PLD?

[gaunt star]

Just met alisaie and alphinaud's Mom

[crimson pollen]

Yeah

[mossy pawn]

Did they buff

[gaunt star]

Also the ff4 armor is out right?

[crimson pollen]

Yeah: "Sheltron will be turned into Holy Sheltron, which adds an additional 15% damage reduction for 4 seconds and a 12 second heal-over-time effect"

[mossy pawn]

12 SECOND GRADUAL HEAL?

Damn bro what are healers even there for. Defense buff op too lmao

[proper zealot]

What are you doing, G'raha

[fierce wing]

Bow to your god

For he is transcending and shall soon soar through the heavens

[late aurora]

Oh no he learned Float 2, he can’t be stopped anymore

[tidal mauve]

all the times we've been baited

[supple olive]

My bun boi smn 😄

[gaunt star]

can someone explain the flowers in ||labyrinthos|| ? i didn’t get that cutscene too well

[late aurora]

Mood rings, and they don’t know how to grow em

[gaunt star]

ahhh ok i did get it

[quaint locust]

Am I going crazy or did they forget to put in the SCH adlo/succour/Physick buffs for 6.0? Not sure if the UI is just wrong but it seems they remembered the nerfs and entirely forgot the buffs lol

[north silo]

My bunny boy literally looks like Ellen Degeneres

[rare sinew]

Jesus fucking christ. Fucking ||ZODIARK|| as the 84 trial?! The fuck is in store afterwards?!

[tranquil lantern]

Anyone know the gear Thancred's northern attire is, when he's in ||Garlemald||?

That chest piece is baller as hell.

[rare sinew]

Is there a reason why everyone is opening PFs for the 84 trial? Is it like.. actually difficult?

[late aurora]

No just so they don’t have to wait in queues

[rare sinew]

looks at how they're also stuck waiting for healers

[tranquil lantern]

Probably to avoid waiting in queues, check the party host's class. Bets are either they're DPS or Healer.

[late aurora]

Doing a public service or whatever

[rare sinew]

no healers. first time

god damn, the ||bodyswap|| was nerve wrecking

[tranquil lantern]

Instant tank queues made my MSQ experience a breeze so far

[rare sinew]

cries in SMN

[uneven agate]

I like the 4 pop reaper combo

Actually 6

[tranquil lantern]

In the end I still lose though, because GNB is a tank class and not a DPS like I wanted it to be.

[uneven agate]

Red blue red blue refresher red

[gaunt star]

I love how at lvl 88 SMN just basically gets a 20% max health buff permanently

[solemn kiln]

||I finally know the feeling of dps queue after a cool cutscene : (||

[lapis adder]

after watching a few cutscene in ew does fandanial have like 3 different voice actors ?

[fierce wing]

Gathering feels slow w/o pick clean. But I think the current system rewards perception rating better, coz we all shat on HQ mats

[pallid girder]

The first 81 dungeon final boss is frantic
but enjoyable, very enjoyable

[prisma vine]

i had a fantastic time w/ it

[pallid girder]

i levelled instantly from 81-82 after the fight
i nearly forgot all exp from mobs was shifted to last boss

[rare sinew]

god damn. i gotta.. i gotta lie down a second

I collected vuln stacks on that 81 dungeon. Bloody hell

[golden palm]

bullet hell pog

[steep kiln]

anyone got tips for that terrible in from the cold instance?

[simple plover]

in from the cold isn't actually that bad - just need to duck between buildings every now and then anytime you see an enemy and run away from any fight that you don't need to do.

things de-aggro after getting a while away

[rare sinew]

I didnt know it could deaggro

Nearly fucking lost. So this is what it feels like to not be the main character

[simple plover]

if you keep clicking on the various corpses/machina around, you get phat loot

one of them gives a meaty damage up buff for a few minutes that really makes a difference

[coarse holly]

when people talk about how they made most of their gil when a patch/expansion drops what do people think it means lol. I am still wondering if they mean first days,weeks,or months tbh

[simple plover]

on another note - anyone getting queues at all for the first trial? sitting here with an empty 30 minute queue as a tank and wondering if I should just level another job

[steep kiln]

it took me 12 minutes to find the godforsaken fuel for the reaper

[rare sinew]

God damn. Fuck that fuel searching. Legit scared

Regarding queue, 10 minutes top for me. JP server

[steep kiln]

30 minutes to get across the map and i have to do key search and fuel search and help some dudes

[teal robin]

Do you mean like… the time frame it takes them to make the Gil?

[simple plover]

I spent the whole time thinking "this is a cool mission, but if the storytelling goes the way I think it might then the expansion is ruined for me". Then it ended up fine, but I didn't really enjoy the mission because I was thinking about that too much.

[steep kiln]

i failed there, i died to some…ceruleum tanks i think
