and accidentally messed up recovery when i hit enter
wooooooh ||I could attune to the radz-at-han aetheryte now||
Dat fucking smirk tho
I kept opening the menu with one of my shortcuts
||dude when alphi and alisaie got held hostage i completely gave up on garlemald||
my character is so goddamn hot with that smirk. Why can't I wear that constantly in cutscenes.
I just wanted to purge em
I keep getting confused on a certain mechanic in the L83 trial with the stars, i simply don't understand how to interpet it.
Fuck em. ||smug pricks, look who's dead||
HUGE same. like im sorry i kinda lost all of my empathy at that. DONT HURT MY KIDS
I meant more as in I often see people talk about the prime time to sell stuff is when a new patch comes out and I was wondering in terms of how fast does stuff drop off before it the market stabilizes and you can no longer make insane amounts selling the new gear/materials.
legit the only reason my wol is helping out now is bc of alphi and alisaie
Also, for a brief second, ||Zenos was a pink hair catgirl in a miniskirt||
thats rhe part im on lol
im just too. mad after the 1st shitshow to try that instance again
I notice on Zalera it takes a while for prices to drop. Few weeks normally :0 typically when me and the fiancé sell
so im gonna sleep bc ive been up almost a full day
The moment ||the commander wanted to hold them hostage, i was like, awww shit. I'm not being nice anymore. Murder time||
ooh i see
READY TO BURN GARLEMALD TO THE GROUND MYSELF
SO SORRY MAXIMA BUT SOME HEADASS COMMANDER ||THOUGHT TO USE MY KIDS AS LEVERAGE!!!!!||
oh so role quests start ||at 85||
||FANNY BOY DIDNT DO IT WELL. I'M HERE TO FINISH THE JOB||
||quintus killed himself im here to have him resurrected so i can KILL HIM MYSELF||
Fucking smug ass bitches. Trying to call me ||savage. Gonna beat their dumb ass. I like how still in deep shit, they still think they can orser/be smug with us||
if you talk to one of the guys at the garlemald station after you enter - he was at the praetorium. Talks about you just mowing down dozens of people with ease like they were nothing to you. I was like... "Goddamn right. ilvl sync is a bitch, huh? Wanna see me do it again?"
||Hurrrr Garlean rule is perfect||
Do Trust use aoe spells yet?
https://i.imgur.com/A3nwD9h.png
i knew it
also quite frankly ||having every pureblood garlean you encounter there be an UTTER piece of shit will not build sympathy lmfao. coerthas had haurchefant and francel garlemald has uhhhh aether current npcs||
||oh yeah, I remember that person in the train station||
"You claim to like peace, yet you refuse to allow us to subjugate you and have a peaceful empire with us ruling over you. Curious" - Turning Point, Garlemald
Apparently they were ||involved on that attempted attack|| should have lemme kill em
you people would make awful warriors of light
EXACT SAME BULLSHIT FROM THE 4.4 DEBATE WHERE EVERYONE LOSES BRAINCELLS
im sorry i dont empathy for people who consistently insult me and ||hold my kids hostage and refuse my help anyways||
Ok, lads, 84 trial, who ||was the white hair guy? I thought it was Emet initially but im bad with recognising the voice||
to be fair, the warrior of light has a stacked kill count in canon. All tempered people get killed, the dungeons we cleared, the garleans we fought... we aren't exactly a pacifist.
In the trial, i liked hpw ||we were like, awww shit, lemme get my pocket party out||
coerthas started off irritating bc all the shitty elves, but we also have francel and haurch to humanize ishgard
||traveling back to the first? pog||
garlemald is just “but theyve suffered!” while they continue to not do anything ti aid their suffering and then ||hold my kids hostage||
I hate that we still have ||emememmemelin|| but I must say, 80-ing everything before this expac was worth for the story
man, doesn't matter how many times i hear Answers, it brings me close to tears every time
It was like ||Awwww shit look what the cat dragged in||
problem is we already have the nice garleans on the team - Lucia, Gaius, Maximus. All that's left are the shitty ones with an ego
yes i can see them suffering. i am trying to help. they are rejecting it. they are attempting to kill my friends
did you just call gaius nice
Keynote tho, they LEFT garlean
hes better than quintus
well not really
yes. He is also based. And always has been
Gaius is best garlean dad. Which isn't saying much tbh
it says a lot that the only genuinely nice pb garlics ive seen are like. aether current npcs
oh and Cid/Nero are garleans too
i know and cid would be sad if i burnt his country to the ground
nero would probably laugh tho
||not seen cid and nero around till 84... they honeymooning or smthn?||
he'll show up on an airship in the nick of time again probably
Also, moon ||doesnt have moon gravity|| 0/10. Ruined
he's just hiding out of sight, waiting for a dramatic moment
the answer is always yes
ok so when can i go the fuckin moon anyways. im so tired of garlemald all the people here suck
So yeah, ||who is the white hair guy in the 84 trial||?
okay that freaking level 83 trial reveal just blew my mind ngl. I have no idea where this story is going and I love it
@steep kiln it all happens pretty quickly and out of nowhere
At 84, but it legit feels like I've done an expac's worth already
||does it have to do wirh sharlayan bc im like 80% certain sharlayans entire thing is space colony||
there seriously weren't kidding when they said they'd put a x.0-x.3 worth of story into the MSQ
still don't know what their deal is yet myself, but the answer is always ||allagans||
Yea. It's kinda nuts.
im exhausted
I'm elated as fuck
Legit. Always their fault
||ofc allag has a spaceship||
incidentally, the guy who decided that NPC followers should run "slightly" slower than mount speed needs to be thrown in prison
i just dont try with mounts
especially with how fast they stop following after 3 metres
The inconsistent walk speed annoys me and that using the local aetheryte network breaks following
either way, its the expected result of people ruled under a shitty reigime for many centuries, and then recently 2 emperors dying within a year of each other, civil wars, conquered nations being liberated, multiple ascians doing shit, still better than the first though
why are there so many of those goddamn quests anyways
NIN problems who are always faster than the NPC's regular walk speed
new tech = new toy that needs to be played with probably
To show off the tech. Which, imo, is VERY good and fun
bro ive had like 6 and im 83
yeah especially when you get to talk with the NPCs about optional stuff it's really nice
It's fun. Walking around with the nerds
I like having the cat boy follow me 
The jazzy music is so good
i love that hes bad with money. thats adorable. i wanna kiss him.
krile is a literal pikachu cosplayer and I just feel like im playing pokemon
it's funny how similar he is to alphinaud in that regard: wasting the scions' money
RIGHT I THOUGHT THAT TOO
Both scared of tataru
like no WONDER they get along
Also. ||immediately glammed the coat she gave||
oh hey, emergency maintenance on firmanent/doman enclave
yeah, reading his short story how tataru tracked him down definitely makes it even funnier
aand trial queue popped
what do they even have in common?
“you ever pay full price for an ancient inherited jatana” “no but i did once pay 200$ for a hairtie”
same
once i get…to play again. for now i sleep.
thx for lettinf me rant about how much garlemald blows
Good thing i took weekend and two more days off
48 minutes waiting for the first trial
Really? Did ya try PF?
duty finder
I've seen some PFs of it
nah i gotta do some errands today. and i DO need money, so. only reserved today/friday for expac drop

I can see a PF with no healers thats been open for 40 minutes
dead game Sadge - back to WoW i guess
wait nvm queue popped - alive game
Pulled a yshtola
Endwalker should just be called Zenos has a piss fit
Cause that is essentially what it boils down to
Does anyone know the mounts we get from extremes?
okay, it's funny how (post first trial) ||basically everything that happened was emet-selch's fault because he laid the foundations for the allagan empire and thus xande and amon||
We’re riding home still
It's not moving
||he's kinda the game's overarching antagonist in a way, since garlemald and thus 1.0, ARR and SB, allag and hence CT, all of shadowbringers and endwalker are his fault||
I feel like they could’ve done something to all the zones to give it that end of the world feeling
Going from thanalan which looks normal into Thavnir is like wat
thavnair looks so good
||well elidibus, lahabrea and emet-selch fill that role rather than just emet himself, especially elidibus as he guided the other 2 on what to do||
Ikr but I feel like they could’ve added some ruins in all the zones…. Have the sky on fire, SOMETHING so that the end of the world vibe is consistent
god the amaurot theme and its variations are so freaking beautiful
jfc thsi expansion is brutal
arr relic paladin in ew hits different
||Grab mother by the head break her neck and throw her in a lake with her still clutching her infant babe||

||Alisae has a unique line LB2 in trusts||
Tonberry Refugee Camp
wowerz
moon|| lalafell bunnies ||kill me
am i completely unable to use fantasia with this up?
After 2 hours of waiting and finally reaching single digit queue this comes up...
Does Dancer got animation update?
anybody get stuck on "Helping Hands"? i really dont know what to do i need help :(
is that the one with the cave?
i think so
pretty sure the cave was right by the npc - north side of the quest marker
where that fate is
Is there a new tank job that I'm not aware?
idk how to get there though, im stuck on this side of the map.. it says to speak to argos but i cant him him anywhere
I had a 50 minute queue as a tank for no reason too - not sure what the holdup was
ah yes
Really strange when the new jobs are DPS and Healer and the queue for tank is this big.
that trial doesn't have many people queueing for it because of how hard it is afaik
I thought they were a woman
dont remember where the dog was, I just rode the thing so it was probably close by. If all else fails, the terrain is walkable still at 20,30 and 23, 30
@simple ploveryoure a legend
Are we all enjoying queuewalker
whats a queue? is that what people do when they dont login at midnight because of night shift?
(actually, the first trial had a 50 minute queue - but the login queue was basically 0 at least)
0 queue today nice
Weird because all of my dailies queue took less than a sec as a tank
and 30 mins as a healer
Queue is kimda fast here and im on blm
The sage souns like ur playin starfox on n64
Good luck
That first trial is a good mechanics check
||how do you work out how far zodiark is gonna rotate the slab during astral flow||
||it rotates by 90 degrees so the closer you stand to the mid, the less you move. you can try to imagine splitting the slab into 4 quadrants and imagine your quadrant moving back by 1 ||
anyone knows how to get AF gears? i completed msq but i didnt receive
she likes her glam like the rest of us
When you realise all the cinematics are in 1080p 😂
The tower of zot armor looks like Cecil
2004 queve sry
ignore this, just select the character and go
Is there an endwalker quest list anywhere
There is a start - https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Endwalker_Main_Scenario_Quests
how can i when the queue is fucked 😭
is it big or not moving?
or both, perhaps
might wanna spoiler the image as well
its spoilered
oh wtf it unspoiled itsefl for me nvm then
what queue time on phoenix atm?
nvm i picked the third since its vague
And this is why we dont even post spoilers here
nvm it doesnt even matter in the end lol choices in this game
oh ill delete then
Change your username to wetforzodiark because he is a whole daddy Dom
has anyone else had to grind exp? i just hit the level 85 quests but im only level 84, i havent switched off my main job
Ok, so sage is amazing. I'm 100% maining sage now. Friendship with WHM over, Sage is new bestie
Sage will never bore you like spamming glare did
Everything is instant cast, and you have a gap closer. It's so damn mobile.
anyone knows where to get artifact gear lvl 90?
what about SCH? 
||i have to say EW story isnt that good so far especially compared to shb but holy shit the dungeon is far better than shb||
No one cares about scholar
46 people in queue and an almost immediate login. What a strange feeling.
That weird job that you get when you play SMN? I thought that was like BLU
Out of curiosity, which point did people reach in msq (just say the lvl to avoid spoilers)?
||I feel like Fandaniel just isn't as interesting as emet-selch||
||idk how far you are in but fandaniel is a million times more interesting than emet ever was||
okay, one thing I dont understand about the story ||is how come now, the main alliance suddenly wants to save the Empire||
Am I missing something?
endwalker gets a lot better after the first trial in my experience
you know what else is better in EW?
if you gift me Endwalker uwu
I already knew it wasnt going to be as good as Shb. That was being too hopeful. But its fine enough so far..well, honestly kind of dont make sense one part.
hmm, from my impressions so far ShB isnt even a 1/10th as good as EW
really? hmm, I am not really going to judge it now. But I am enjoying it.
||but why we do care about buddying up with the empire after we killed a bunch of their soldiers? I get they are in a very bad condition, but its kind of weird.|| story spoiler.
Some of the arcs are very drawn out but in turn they give amazing exp,
but story really picks up around the 2nd dungeon
Hello, because of a hardware issue yesterday I got yeetted out of ||radz-at-han||during the quest ||where you have to talk around the city with Estinien (The Jewels of Thavnair)||. Any idea how can I get there again since I don´t have the aetherithe unlocked?
||Because we have learned the empire has been puppets of the ascians from the start, we don't hate the people in the empire, only their puppet masters. And now that they are all dying off we want to save the empire and integrate it into the world at whole. I meen look at Gaius and Estinian. They are besties now.||
I am going to be honest about shadow bringers. I didnt care too much for
its story until around the end when it started focusing on Emet (and I think its kind of the same for a lot of people.) Dont get me wrong, the story in shadow bringer before was really interesting, but at the end...
||The Empire's more than its military and there's civilians who are the victims of the Telophoroi, if all else, the fact they're now Tempered||
||Yes fandaniel, slay.||
okay, I see. thank you. It clears it up a lot more to me.
speaking of ||fandaniel being amon dispels the emet being amon theory aswell||
||i like what they did with fandaniel, him being amon and merging with zodiark to effectively suicide him||
As long as it is better than stormblood it is enough for me honestly. I dont expect EW to be as good as shb either
well atm unless anyone has completed EW (without skipping it all) its hard to compare it to ShB completely anyway
people really disliked stromblood, I see.
i like stormblood
but a lot of people didnt like the characters in it or the pacing
stormblood had high highs and low lows
IF someone who has finished EW just answer me one question. Do we finish the story arc from 2.0 in 6.0 or are we waiting for patches? Does the new story line start at the end of 6.0?
looks finished besides pandaemonium kinda
It isnt bad but it is just unfortunate to be in the middle of 2 all time great expansions so thats why the opinion of it is hardly positive by comparison
actually the way people speak about stormblood makes me think not many people actually played it and just go off what other people say
they said the new story starts in 6.1
there's a bit of setup for the future near the end
I really enjoy stormblood. But I cant judge t he story as much like in shadowbringers.
im at the second dungeon, i like it a bit more than ShB
but 5.3 made shb for me, so idk if it will hold up that long lol
Endwalker story is finished in 6.0.
6.1-6.5 will be preparation for 7.0
oh yeah 5.3 id say is what made ShB, 5.0 was eh but the post patches were what sold it
I remember at the end of shadowbringers, I was about to be disappointed with the story until I realize there was one more region to explore. lol
https://i.gyazo.com/ba661a15a7dfd2a2dc4c7ca43a2971d5.mp4 Anyone else notice they have new cinematic sheathes and unsheathes?
the worst part of FFXIV will always be ARR. 😛
yea pretty much
arr is great
I see you didnt play 1.0
oh, no I didnt play 1.0. I wasnt aroundn for that
ARR isnt the best but its good worldbuilding
ARR is pretty fucking terrible
nah, if arr was so bad we wouldnt have endwalker
1.0 was so bad, you cant even play it anymore.
but it's better than 1.0 lol
stats squish are a bit strange
you get used to it quickly
I remember seeing a streamer rant about how he didnt enjoy FFXIV and I knew he was still on ARR. He said he never made it too far, lmao
I'm not shit at my job. It's just stat squish 
get killed by level 60 SMH mob quest
Potency squish was a bit weird. Sad going from 1500 potency to 1080
still, considering people say arr is bad (eventhough its not), its still better than anyother rpg released the past decade
Closest any of us are to gettin a 1080
I've not seen anyone post a queue screenshot at 69 or 420
Any way to fix error code 2002
Epic Echo is pretty wild
Keep trying
Pray to the server gods
thinking about it, I really like all expansions. My least favorite would probably be Heavensward and it not that far compared to others. Heavensward is still pretty good. I just like stormblood better cause it was my first time catching up and seeing patches release.
And it stacks with regular echo. Speedrunner gonna do some weird stuff
Hilariously enough, i felt SB was the weakest. Art and design were top notch. The story was lacking imo
EW once it gets going is IMO the best .0 patch
I did a PF of all PLDs to clear the 1st trial
Tbh, EW gets goin p fucking early on
We got tired of waiting for healers
Looking at the new draw animation with different weapons, it looks like glows only show up when you transition to the original battle stances, so for MNK you do that nice set-up and then your weapons just ignite into flame. Pretty intimidating
Holy Sheltron is kinda OP
We healer now. Which is good cause Sage healers are a bit of a meme
I am only judging SB and HW in gameplay, cause that was before I paid much attention to the story. I started paying more attention in ShB and now EW.
😦
SB did have excellent gameplay
SB was fun gameplay wise. Literally fell asleep during some of the ala mhigo stuff. Or yanxia stuff
Steppe, Ruby sea, Kugane, fun
i liked pretty much all of doma, ala mhigo was awful
Ngl, the accents in ala mhigo were better than raz al gul land
Bro the level 80 quest coffer gear is better than my Exarchic set
One thing I gotta say tho, every expac seems to involve us the char, more and more.
Like, we're doing more than murder hobo-ing
Glamour wise or Ilvl wise?
||when the moon gear is a skallic recolor|| 
If you not augmented you exarchic gear then oopsie cause exarchic gear can be augmented to Ilvl 520
I'm having an issue with texture rendering in the new patch. Like weapons and clothes (especially in cutscenes) look super low res, but all my graphics settings are at standard or high.
Is this common or specific to my game being dumb?
Someone once post a bad graphics photo of grape
Probably rendering problem besides some weird bug ||like how graha tia fly||
Meh just went to Garlemald... the citizens there are worst than stormblood. Why are saving them again?
Am I the only one that enjoys speaking what our character is saying?
"Tell us what happened?!"
||So yeah we went to the moon and met some big amarot dude and we fought Zodiark then he killed himself, sorry about that, and then we met lalafel-bunny hybrids who ended up attacking us, and honestly it was very satisfying to beat the crap outta them, and then we went back to the planet 'cause we kinda fucked shit up.||
||who the hell thinks it is a good idea that you cant teleport directly to radz at han smh||
What level are you
I really appreciate the changes to PLD, especially the way that Requiescat works as stacks now, and that both Holy spells (single and aoe) are only 1000mp to cast. So much easier to get 4 shots of holy * off and a confiteor while still weaving other stuff as they come up AND have MP leftover for a shot or two of Clemency when we're a bit under...
83, still early game
What's great is that you immediately open up with REquiescath but you don't need to consume the stacks right away, but the cooldown is already started
So you can do Requiescat -> Combo to goring blade -> start casting spells
Same for royal authority now being 30 seconds, you can do other shit meanwhile
Yeah there's a reason why you can't have the waypoint yet
as someone said earlier, as we know they have just been puppets of ascians, and now with those mostly gone we have no reason to not help and reform them, integrate them back into the three continents, we have no reason to not help them despite previous events
It is truly beautiful. I am godlike now, even at 81, I am The Unstoppable Force.
Jsut wait until you get holy sheltron and holy spirit heals you
You basically don't need a healer anymore for dungeons, and for trials you can go without healing for a while
Hi guys does anyone know where is Artoirel? After I complete the level 86 quest "No Forgiveness, No Deliverance" (a ranged magical dps) specific quest, I cant proceed cause I cant find Artoirel for the next quest - "Only Justice, Only Vengeance"
||my god the indian accent is so thick in radz at han||
damn the queue for the trial is killing me
I just did in the first dungeon while we've been chatting. It's unreal....Healers are optional for PLD tanks.
That's not the only thing that's gonna kill you 
If you manage to clear it with less than 2 wipes I will be impressed
even if theres wipes idc lmao 5 min im the only one in Q xD
I'll be the first to admit as a longtime PLD main, that while this is really lovely, PLD is firghteningly overpowered now...
I mean in stormblood we already were kinda op
But this is just ridiculous, I heal for about 10% of my health per holy spirit, 24% of my health per holy sheltron
I didn't get to enjoy that much. I hated the SB story, so quit the game for a time half way through
On top of holy sheltron giving us 15% damage reduction on top of block
Yeah. We are invincible.
Part of me is slightly concerned though...why did Square give us all this power? It's like walking along in an FP Shooter and finding a room full of health and powerups, a save point, and hearing the music change...
dank
I'm finding BRD really nice now.
I didn't even know they upgraded frontal cone AoE.
Wow. Balmung is zero queue currently. It'll get back up again soon though I'm sure.
Faerie is <100 queue.
You can just change realm from the charactern select screen to world transfer and play on a realm with no queue
Yeah I finally used my Fantasia this morning.
Couldn't do it yesterday because that would mean logging out, lol.
Are ytou enjoying your new bunny ears?
@hardy wind Oh no, not that kind of Fantasia, lol. I have been bunny before, but always fembunny.
I'm Miqo'te and changed face. I like fembun, it's just I like their yuuuuuuuuge mane hairstyles and PLD shields clip SO bad through them. Also my character's been Miqo'te since 1.0 so it feels weird when she's anything else.
Does EW come with any new level 1 glams? I checked mb but didnt see anything new yet. Im at level 84 stiry quests
Miquote best race! Ignore the gloves, havent reglamored them yet
Hyur rule the eorzea!
@hardy wind I just wish they hadn't stopped adding ear holes to hats for Miqo'te. Now your ears just magically disappear inside hats instead.
Also, the use of that ||radio music in Garlemald is suuuuuper good.||
@hardy wind And yes, catte! https://imgur.com/4c13eEl
I like how you're acknowledged as a white mage/healer this patch... I don't think I've seen that since a brief mention in SB
WHY ISNT MY QUEUE SAVING MY POSITION WHEN IT DISCONNECTS ME?!
this sucks
||So a radio shields from tempering as well as the talisman that we spent an entire zone and army of experts coming up with? Seems like an asspull, but okay.||
anyone lv90 yet?
People who skip story
From what I’ve seen this is the longest x.0 patch besides 2.0
I'm dying over here... (This is flavor text from talking to a random NPC most won't even notice...)
Nothing like Square making fun of themselves.
level 84 MSQ meme
I want Krile hairstyle without the hood, Please
biggest queue I got up to now
72 people
She looks so cute with her hood down.
Krile is a cutie pie and need to be protected
||Garlemald story is just sooooo good so far.||
I haven't started the game yet, and I need some help with which DPS I should choose to do MSQ. Just like 5x, does SAM give the top dps?
all the dps are balanced,
sam is a selfish dps meaning since it doesnt have any party buffs it does more personal dps
what new hair work with viera?
Is SAM rotation difficult compared to 5x? If so, I might choose to level it by roulette to practice rotation and do MSQ with simple jobs like RDM
im sorry but what are you referring to when you say 5x,
sam has a pretty low skill floor so its easy to learn its optimizing rotation that will take some getting used to
oh the lack of a period completely confused me
Sorry, I meant 5.x. I'm confident with the rotation at that time, so I'm wondering about the rotation now
Wait, I didn't know that the job guides are new now. Thanks!
man these garlemald quests are pissing me off
Endwalker might be the worst expac, tbh, and I wish I was exaggerating for comedy. It'll need to be stellar to recover from this bullshit
made it to second dungeon
Why so? Enjoying it a lot so far
I cant judge too much, but I am having a good time. I am going to guess Duck is not liking it cause of cutscenes
Ahh. To much or something?
Garlemald do have a lot of long cutscenes
I see this as an absolute win
fucking Garlemald
there is only one lalafell forum member
Same haha, but we all got different taste
the cutscenes are fine, the problem is the garlemald apologia
I like it but I am just starting the zone now
I'm legitimately angry with the game lmao
I was feeling the same way, tbh lol.
Haven't reached Garlemald yet, but wasn't a massive chunk of ShB's endgame basically just Ascian apologia?
even if stormblood had a lot of issues with the story in general and pacing in particular, it atleast attempted nuance when it came to the heavier topics like colonialism and imperialism (the post-msq patches aside, where it failed with that spectaculary). ive just reached garlemald so it might be a bit early to say still, but it really feels imo like Endwalker is lacking that nuance
Blizzard need to give a blank check to her for her writing stuff for them
glad i am not the only one that find it a bit weird
I dont think ascians having self-justifications for what they do counts as ascian apologia
but besides that, I am loving it so far
Didn't really like that the Scions agreed to remember Amaurot and the Ascians despite, y'know, all the genocide all because Emet-Selch asked them nicely.
Imo the Ascians and the Amaurotians and the Ancients are 3 very different groups of people
So... What's the deal with removing HQ gathering items?
I dunno, I'm kinda tired of the whole Sympathetic Villain trope in general. It's getting really annoying that it crops up in literally everything these days.
does someone know the name of the theme for first trial?
I remember poking around the orchestrion, I remember "Your Answer" being one trial's theme but I forgot the other
yeah thats like missing the point, you're meant to remember all the decisions that led them to their current degenerate state and learn from them, but you arent meant to forgive ascians, in fact they drive a point home about saying you shouldnt
make sense, thanks
can the npcs that accompany you swim
59th in line for day 2
Not bad. Got 2002'd at 137th on my last login after waiting two hours.
I got to the first dungeon yesterday and queuing for it crashed my internet, not just my game, my internet
Ouch.
#1 in que!
since hours i only have sages in my party =)) how sick
Sorry for the noob question but if I don’t have the ex pack will the changes of jobs still be in effect?
So even if I don’t have endwalker will the abilities still adjust.
Wait is fandaniel amon?
yes
Ty.
Yes, and also very punchable.
Hahahha
I really thought ||Anima was going to be a trial||
I love all of the music on 6.0, Soken is a genius
I am guessing the trails are at the end or maybe only 1.
I am ||on the moon ||
I was epxecting to go there a lot later.
hoping I am close to a trial
Where do y get reap from?
Just realized GC's now sell crates of a random HW or SB minion/mount for 20k seals hmm
Lyse and her contingent of menacing lalas
when do I get my cool pre-order mount
At proper launch, I believe?
wow I cant flex on none early access people? Sadge
yeah mount is collectors edition not preorder so it comes on proper release
damn
@vivid notch What? Garlemald is the best zone so far for me. I'm in it now. Nearing the end I think.
I wish you luck adventurer
Is ruhn e senna’s haircut a custom one or something?
anyone know how to get the tiny troll minion?
thats weird. it was in ShB aoe tb, now normal tb. and im always running outta my party=))
Tataru made us a coat 
Anyone finished the game or close to it yet? I can’t log in so I’d ask, any major NPC death yet? Is Zenos still doing what he usually does?
Sit through a bit more Garlemald story pls
Somebody was to the 89 quest already last night
no clue i couldnt play yesterday, so i woke up at 6am and started to play... till now...
What would you define as major
How
lol, I have no clue
Scions, Fandaniel, Zenos, people we know
Even in here I would spoiler mark major spoilers
anyone knows where to get your new AF gear?
||As of msq lvl 89, one that I can recall but it's a char that you expect to be killed sooner or later.. || MSQ spoilers
ah okay
thanks fam
@regal lantern
does anyone know if we're getting new DoL/DoH manuals for extra xp?
Thancred’s ilsabard outfit looks like Skyrim armor
It's a Bozja set, isn't it
4dd's 2 heals 1 tank available to do last MSQ Trial "The Final Day"?
Been W8ing 40 min 😢
yer not gonna fair much better here
It’s second day of MSQ, very few people got there, let alone at the 2nd last area
True :/
EW 82 ||the worst part I think is the game taking your agency away like, you don't even get to complain or say how bullshit this is, you just have to go along because reasons.||
Actually u double people ever started MSQ with the ammount of time you need to level sage/reaper and start the first dungeon
so he can levitate now?
Heh, the only time that happened with me was with Alphinaud during the toad quest.
always has been 
has anyonetried the ehttps://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/topics/detail/3e6991fae8600f17c02babe21ec1562b937c1ddb
hes goin to the moon by foot!
i tried it and i dont see a diference tbh so not sure if its worth buying it
this joek makes more sense after the lv81 dungeon btw
(question regarding story of the first trial of EW) ||who's the human-form ancient with a white haired ponytail that encourages us before we fight Zodiark? hythlodaeus?||
idk if i needed to config something
The right thing would be to spoil anything related to MSQ considering the linked message but no one is doing that
I was starting to question Ishikawa around 4.3, but I guess things got worse
much
I mean I was already expecting them to get worse from the trailers and stuff, but I had hope that there'd be critical thinking in the story writing. Nope, there isn't.
@regal lantern So who you think is a better writer for this series if Ishiwara isnt good
Kazutoyo Maehiro
Maybe you can pay him to do it
I like her and I actually met her before I was stationed in Japan. She is one of the best
Ishikawa isn’t bad, but her ideas aren’t diverse. The issue with that is, there’s only so much you can do before you start going in circles. And to break free, you start making unnecessarily complicated stories
also fucking imperialist
I never said she was bad just a strong fyi
I was willing to give the benefit of the doubt in Shadowbringers but with the Garlemald quests it's very obvious
We got couple of 0/10 here
I was hoping for more than "not all garleans actually", but that's clearly expecting too much. Alas.
Why are you personally attacking people…?
😋
Anyone know how to get af5? Is it role quests or something?
Isn’t it MSQ 89 kou
Is it, I'm not there and I want af5 for 90 so :p
To me, as a someone who loves stories, She is very good writer and I support her
Wtf whos the ||white haired man in 83 trial||
just making sure
I think it’s 89 and it’s given by who you think it is
@versed hill Nobody is attacking you or anything like that and if you feel that way, then I am sorry about it
? 
I was talking to Rinhou

Kousuke is now part of drama smh
Very good? You can support someone. I also have a right to not be a fan of her and still be respectful of what she does. Ishikawa is a good writer but imo she’s repetitive in her concepts
Be respectful please
@regal lantern Oh well, but I am sorry and i leave it
imagine getting mad someone said you gave a story a 0/10
For the first trial in the expansion, ||does the shooting star mechanic (where he goes invulnerable and flies) have the north located at each pattern’s respective side? Or is it always where the boss is when you start the fight?||
Question about garlemald, if they have roads, are they fit for the regalia, and if it is, can I have a street race on them
Yes, yes, only if you have nos
I don’t really care about others opinions on the story because I’ve enjoying them but all I have to say if you start shit because of differing opinions about a video game opinion touch grass
final fantasy wait once more
with the way this is going now I'm just waiting for the ||"fighting for independence is actually just as bad if not worse than being an imperialist warring nation actually"||
sharlayan music is a damn vibe
you know you love the chars when ||you keep replaying the night scene over who comes to see you||
For the gatherer/crafter stuff, is there anything I should do in preparation to leveling them up from 80 to 90?
I just saw a scene that really damaged my mental health. When you deal with Garlmald, any of you that have mental health issues with depression that might lead to suicidal thoughts, please be warned. I'm not gonna spoil it, but just be safe and make sure you take breaks in Garlmald if your health is poor. Safe journeys. 🧡
@inner ice I like the daytime music in Labyrinthos most myself probably so far. Along with ||the radio music in Garlemald.||
just made it to the first trial...I was not expecting THAT to be the first trial
@onyx sundial Since You can't post images in ffxiv discussion
I think my issue with EW so far is like... ||they're trying to have too many payoffs. Like the big emotional moments, the cutscenes with deep character conversations/revelations/etc... they're super important, but they're coming hard and fast this expansion and it's dulling the special-ness of them.||
its over a GCD to cast them since you have to cast Eukrasia first
garleans || would rather freeze to death than accept help, fuck em ||
||LET THEM ROT||
you better carry them
I am not sure how to feel about the garlean plot, but honestly, it is such a huge trope (a trope that Japan love to death) so, should not be surprised. Its not completely bad, just a bit hard to feel sympathic, at least until ||you meet Jullius||
||its jullus||
||but I want to kill him the most. Well, other than the leader of the Ist||
||why?||
there were two sympathetic characters in the garlean plot ||and the game killed them|| 
||he's a garlean soldier, fuck him||
|| the one imperial soldier from the XIV legion hates me for killing her friends at the praetorium. || i'll fuckin do it again
^
Oh NOOOOOO I'm on a date with ||Zenos this time! ||
||its hard to feel sympathetic when you kill tons of Garlean solders in leveling :P||
@vivid notch Oh are you not finished with Garlemald yet?
|| i did, in fact do it again, over and over. got some cool mounts out of it lmao ||
nope
||also when they are imperialists, racists and completely unregretful of their behaviour. Not only that but actively doubling down on their own stupidity to the detriment of the civilians under their care||
was taking a little bit of a break because the MSQ was making me legit angry
||oh right..they are . This is something else that really confused me honestly. During this whole plot, I was like "What have they done that I can actually feel bad for them like? Didnt they want to make a weapon that is mass genocide||
||yep and that's just the most recent one. Like just look at fucking Ala Mhigo or Doma or Dalmasca or Bozja or Yanxia and you can see what the Empire did.||
the game trying to make me feel empathy for them is never going to work and just going to make me angry at the game
same
idk why wrtiers love putting these kinds of messages in media. I even seen some western shows that do this like the walking dead, lmao with this same kind of "forgiveness" bullshit.
yeah, it's really uncritical writing
because pure revenge never solves anything
|| i feel bad for the civilians caught in a shit situation but the leaders aren't helping them at all ||
Brd is looking like best ranged atm right?
there's two versions, the first is "yeah we have these characters we think are cool and want the audience to like them, so let's ignore everything they've done and just gloss over it"
||it really pains me to see alphinaud and alisaie try so hard to help them and only get treated like trash. 😔 ||
the second is "actually there are heroes and villains on both sides and it's war that is bad actually, everyone has its reasons and the conflict that arises from these differences is the bad part and we should strive for a peaceful world because war is universally bad" which can also be used to give the villains some depth. This is the one I think Endwalker is going for, and it can work sometimes. But it needs to be well written
This wasn't well done.
||THAT GUY GOT ATE||
yeah, I agree.
yeah
its better well done than shadowbringers
how long does the msq remain split for?
||for it to be well done there would need to be a counterpoint, someone who isn't a strawman letting the garleans know how trash they are or at least questioning their views. There are perfect characters for this, Lyse is the main example, but also anyone from Bozja, or Dalmasca or hell maybe even some of the Eorzeans. Instead what we get is the "we'll do everything and anything we can to help no matter what" twins, which does not work||
the garleans are being treated how i expected them to be, assholes to the bitter end, which makes sense based on all that has happened
just level 80, maybe like 10 quests on each side?
@vivid notch How is it any different than Shadowbringers making us feel empathy for Emet Selch who has murdered literal entire worlds?
I mean, I am not going to argue with that. Shadowbringer kind of did the same thing. soo....
But at the same time, one major difference
Characters wasnt really bending over for them like the garleans, I guess. No main characters went out of their way to forgive them, I guess.
I'm not saying it's different. I think Emet Selch is done better because at least he's charismatic and there is the excuse that he's been tempered and spent an eternity slowly going mad and stuff, but yeah it's pretty much the same case
Well I mean multifaceted villains like that are far more interesting than generic RAWR I AM EVIL villains like Zenos. So it's little shock they're trying to do more with Garlemald this expansion too.
Zenos is such a snoozefest because he IS just evil.
also, there's a very important difference, I think (but your mileage may vary in this one): this is done so you get more on the Garleans' side. Emet was still a villain, what was done was give him a motivation and a tragic backstory, but he never stopped being the worst. In fact he is the final boss of Shadowbringers. What this is doing is to reduce the "villain quocient" of the garleans
zenos is the best villain in the game
Zenos is my favourite villain of FFXIV
they dont try to make him sympathetic, (and hopefully they dont)
I am going to be honest. I am happy the villains are more evil and less sympathic in endwalker.
I couldn't possibly be more bored every time Zenos is on screen.
|| the logical conclusion of being a reasonable garlean is either defecting or getting killed ||
I love him. He doesn't lie to you, he doesn't have the tragic bullshit or anything. He's a villain and he's an obstacle
Whereas Emet's screentime was the best parts of ShB.
exactly
emet was the worst part of shb
it feels ncie to just have villains that are fully evil and just do evil shit to screw with you
It's just so shallow though.
@indigo shale Wow, I have never heard anyone say that before, haha. He's the best part, imo.
but i dont feel theyve tried to make the us sympathetic for the garleans at all, all theyve done is show the garleans as assholes but the GC of E not giving up hope that they can change things
sympathetic villains are great, but they shouldnt be overdone, imo. Shb was the perfect time for that and did it in very good way.
and Emet is one of my favorites
didnt they already start reducing the villain quotient of the garleans from like post arr
first we have nero defect, kind of like a nibble of hope of a maybe they arent all bad tho hes still an asshole
then we find that there are political parties opposed to the warmongering in sb
and shb we get more defectors, and some other stuff I cant remember off the top of my head
World firsts 
the problem with the garleans was emet selch
its his doing that they are the way they are and to a lesser extent, elidibus, zenos and fandaniel
||I think they’re just showing how the way that garlean was built and functioned made them keep the spirit of being assholes, feeling superior, even when the world is ending or their nation is decaying, causes of being taught that, and people are afraid of the new and unknown, so it’s a new concept||
||Hmm, I suppose so.||
hmmm yknow Im starting to think that this might be an issue of people who have the story fresh in their minds from going through it liking it more vs people who did it a while back feeling its out of left field but id have to know how long ago people finished SHB and all the other expacs XD
he's the one that set up garleans and garlemald to be like this, under a restrictive reigime that makes everyone an enemy out to kill them, which is why the twins and GC of E want to help, as the garleans are a victim of circumstance
||don’t forget that garlemald was built on hate, fear and the complex of war to survive by reclaiming land, this is WHO they are, they can’t deny it easily and will not trust people that they have fought as enemies so easily, this is reflected in real world issues with dictatorship nations and their people being ignorant and having superiority problems over other nations ||
I can see that being the case. I can really see that with garlean not even being the main focus in Shb
|| it's kinda sad in a way to see the garleans clinging to their notions of superiority even as garlemald stands in ruins around them. like berlin in 1945 ||
With that said the msq is still right about one thing ||the civilians are victims of the real purpose of garlemald stated by emet, they’re just fuel to the war and victims since, even if it’s not abruptly known to the WoL and the scions, they’re victims of their system and of their true purpose under the flag||
all things considered, it was quite a shit year for garlemald, 2 dead emperors, ascians everywhere, civil wars, successful liberations, splinter factions, almost total destruction, mass tempering, so its quite easy to see why they dont want help from us, regardless of the end days approaching
This is why I enjoy garlemald a lot, it actually throws stuff that could and very well has happened in the real world towards some uh
Wars
yeah, I can agree with this.
i find it quite odd that people get the idea that the game wants us to sympathise with garleans, when i havent seen a single thing hint towards that
oh do not get me started with Gaius
it could also be that they are sympathizing with the garleans but are catching themselves and then backpeddeling which is making them frustrated
if anything the only garleans its tried to get us to like is gaius and nero
for much less of what he's done we threw Fordola in forever jail
maybe the game wants us to sympathize with garleans, maybe not. anyway i don't sympathize with them lmao
||they’re just people in the system used to stoke conflicts and fire, people that carry orders willingly like zenos and high ranking soldier like Nael are the actual people that you shouldn’t forgive and forget, but the lower common soldiers and survivors of the civil war, because they’re just, well, victims|| with that said I enjoyed garlemald a lot and shalayan too
same
fordolas actually doing pretty well for herself tho, sure she has a jail cell but at this point im p sure its by choice
nah fuck them. There is no such thing as a moderate garlean
Ok
those are the ones that defected. The civilians sure, whatever, but the soldiers? kill them all
wow
you realize some of those soldiers were forced conscripts threatened with the wellbeing of their families right
and also the soldiers that are their by choice are so due to mass propaganda, its the higher ups that are the problem not the soldiers
I had a feeing we were gonna go good on the Empire before the end of the story arc...that way well.....Garlean reconstruction anyone? hehe
Garlemald has some fucked up shit because of the very way it was conceived and created and also it’s downfall, but every beginning has an end, and the end can be transformed into a new beginning
Also housing!
also genocide is not an answer to genocide
are the grapes crystals with a grape texture baked on
Any one got images of ||Manusya Armor||?
Fuck me i'm so stupid, I clicked onto Twitch and the first thing I see in the FFXIV category is Xenos staring down ||hydaelyn|| as a boss fight.
Yes
I should have known better than to click the FFXIV category
I mean even Reaper is a bit of hint of ||"garleans good now'|| in the story. I knew this was coming.
prolly, Ive seen full walkthroughs of 80+ hour games pop up in under 24 hours before
they have not shown "garleans good now" once in EW
Rip, mad spoiled from that
welcome to the internet
take a look around
also what are you doing in whats basically the endwalker spoiler channel
those can be spared too, I don't mind
i think people are going into the garlemald section of the game with prenotions of what they think will happen then ignore anything that does actually happen
the person who pulls the trigger still is guilty, even if ordered to
less guilty than the one who ordered but still guilty
indoctrination is a pretty powerful mechanic
if we get Garlemald Reconstruction before Ala Mhigan Reconstruction now that would be fucked up
expected, but fucked up
well atm garlemald is a little more fucked up, as in not habitable so it would require more atetntion to rebuild
My god, the quest item tooltips are great
The thing is if you want to break a cycle, complete amnesties for soldiers are required, at best higher ups are the only ones who are executed
On a different topic, what’s the consensus on the fastest way to level alts from 80-90.
like killing the garleans will do is cause more problems, and just prove their misguided thoughts
I am talking about garlemald ;)
what the fuck are you guys talking about
is bozja not giving good exp past 79/80?
Haven’t tested, but I would imagine it does after 80
Mate people are literally talking about garlemald and that’s all garlemald is all about, if you have a problem with it throw a modmail
we likely won't get this expansion's version till 6.2 so its probably roulettes/dungeon spam
Dies*
Had a feeling that would be the case. Trusts take way too long right now too so that’s out
Tower of zot looks promising (except the savage tier aoes)
There’s been something akin to Bozja in the files already for level 90 stuff
trusts are only better if your queue + runtime is faster
the final fight in tower zot was a lot more effort than I was ready for after all that questing
how would you even deduce that calzone?
Same file location ?
nah fuck them
and so the cycle continues
wow that's a good detail
It’s literally under the same file tree as Bozja was found
ah, thats cool
krile even after the cutscene is still looking towards the flowers
so a bozja type area and deep dungeon content would be nice
at this point just level your main jobs via roulette/dungeons until we get endwalker bozja
moon bozja wen final boss lunar bahamut but its the other one
no point rushing all 90s
They need to upgrade the bloody servers
yea you can rush that i guess, more of a psa for alt jobs
played 18h yesterday
lmfao'
🐸
Go on give them chips for it
I feel he left out a very important word there: ||CONSCRIPTED||
might be the best part so far LOL
People say “they should upgrade the servers” go on give them the hardware, literally no one has the hardware for upgrades atm
The completionist side of me can’t help planning it out lol
@hollow ice Don't forget about Gaius, he was in the mix there too.
We’re in a pandemic. Could be at least a bit considerate
I did mention him just not by name
100% this. Only valid complaint is making it so you don’t drop out of queue and have to start over. No idea how they can fix that though
Even if they could make them "taller" servers, that doesn't magically solve all the issues either... Netflix has some great scaling conversations when it comes to how to make a server faster and faster
can i get the coat that that one lady is wearing in the toad cutscene?
Also before anyone says you can find like a rtx 3060, server upgrades needs more than 1 or even 100 of pieces to warrant the budget and the money spent on it
Whelp, just got in! Cya everyone
Jeez, that whole ||"escape from Garlemald to warn your friends while RPing as a trash mob" event after your date with Zenos is definitely the most intense thing so far.||
I kinda wish after Endwalker they'd make Garleans playable....but I suppose that wont happen. 😦
Don’t worry lamer it gets worse
man, less then being in queue, its the fact that the number is just not dropping
playable garleans would kinda conflict with the whole pre EW story i guess
it wouldnt make sense from from an arr start, and would also would mean we likely wouldnt have the echo or blessing of light, or be able to use any job
the other day, at least it dropped at a steady rate
oh yea the aether thing too
Servers are stable now compared to first day/hours, that’s why the queue is dropping slowly
@median star ||I know but I mean....perhaps....a wizard did it? hehe ;)||
plus being hot off the foot of the calamity i doubt we would be trusted much
garlean exclusive magitek-based job maybe
itd be like ultra-nightmare in doom, you arent going to have a good time
FF14 hardcore Garlean WOL playthrough!
I'll be happy when I'm finished with Garlemald so I can get out of this winter coat glamour. xD
assuming we'd still have soul of azem though, hydaelyn would probably pull some bs to make being garlean not inhibit aether manipulation
Garleans could use some jobs in the game but it’s not viable considering 2.0/4.0 the garleans were the problem + they’re just hyurs with a fancy dot
if they separate 7.0 story with a "reset" then maybe garlean playthrough would be possible
|| fUcking emet ||
ehhh, the problem with that is the fanbase, as it appears some dont think garleans are capable of change
Has anyone found any wings other than the Diabolos wings from the Nut exchange?
Also they already said hrothgar and viera are the last races added for the foreseeable future
well they would also need to fix the aether thing somehow if they wanna add garleans
im suprised at this rate people like ishgard due to their problems (though granted not quite the same)
Femhrothgar is coming right?
Yeah
tbf you hardly see players as elezen
that's one way to put it
No wings? ANywhere?
Oh god could you imagine a playable race with wings
EW final boss
Real
there's this one from gold saucer
Any kind. The notes said wings were added as a fashion acessory, but I've only found the one kind.
Ah, GS? Alright
wow...literally 4...
demon wings from hunt trader in ew
Okay so I think I'm nearing the end of Garlemald and why is ||Lyse suddenly in her skimpy Ala Mhigan outfit again? Poor girl freezin' her tits off.||
The source for the pixie wings is apparently undiscovered
some of the summoner chest piece from ARR/HW have mini wings
Yeah, I've got Diabolos Wings already
Do we know where the Thavnarian hair bow is from?
fighting heats her up
The Fallen Angel wings are apparently from bicolor gemstones, but I can’t tell you which vendor
I suspect that may be the case, but it might not be
The Deepshadow Barding, for instance, is just a Lakeland vendor. If both sets of wings are from gemstones, one might be regional and the other city based
That's true..but that price is really high for bcgs
I doubt many people have success completed the 360 fates yet
Thf is coming...
But 60 fates is easier
OMFG, and of course as soon as I say that in this channel, the next dialogue ||gives my WoL two different ways to comment on why Lyse is dressed that way. ||
extremes are out?
lol TL
or still not there yet
They were in the game since the beginning
everyone skipped over her story in stormblood lol. easy to not understand why she dresses like that
i mean endwalker extremes eh
Also, ||Magnai and Sadu just need to get a room already.||
Yes, i was refering to those
oh i see tyvm then where u can unlock them tho
@silent forge Oh was there commentary in the Stormblood story about Lyse being hot (NOT THAT KIND OF HOT, YOU WANKERS) in fights?
Idk, i'm halfway through
yea shw gets fired up
||I dislike the amount of death flags being sent to me and the twins. I'm at Garlemald||
damn then i need to find them myself
death flags dont exist dw
Awww damnit, everyone else is ||back in their normal clothes for this place and I'm still in my winter gear, QQ!||
Players in queue 4792
ah yes the thing I love most about JRPGs, the "stand around and do nothing while bad shit happens"
ive been at 1k for bit now
||he was right there you just needed to cut his arm off to get the button thing||
The first time I ever got into the queue and it started me at 1.5k and I got all the way down to Position 1 and then it gave me error 2002
THE MUSIC IS SO GOOD
Its infuriating.
||Having the original snes version of the ffiv battle theme on the moon made me happy||
While I am considerate of their position due to how Covid is affecting server parts shortage
Fuck these queues.
IT IS !!!!!!!!!!!!!
||but i think he likes to be edged for battle||
jail
||last thing I want is a vegeta/Bills/Broly moment||
gaol* 
i feel like even the ffxiv wiki also shows some spoilers
||that part where you choose who comes to your room at night, IT WAS SO HARD TO CHOOSE~||
the side articles shows ||amon, who is who fandaniel really was before emet selch found him and the one you fight in the crystal towers is a clone||
The FFXIV wiki is meant to be where you find information, so of course spoilers are there
it didnt cover the photo.....
wow Garlemald ||sure is a place full of sunshine and rainbows huh. That suicide was haunting||
But the idiots over at that wiki really need to get their shit straight and put stuff like that buried deep on the wiki, not have Emet appear as Solus when you type up Solus on google
like holy shit lol
||Cylva is the best answer to this :)||
Declan1202
wrong chat
Did you just paste your password
absolutely not
||THERE IS SO MUCH DEATH||
i hate hate hate the escort and sneak quests :(
I get the very distinct feeling this is ||'cleaning the slate'|| before the next big adventure.
Does anyone know where you can buy 560 accessories for tomes? town and npc? @__@;;
||Emmanelains sick dance moves is all thats keeping this war together|| 81-82 spoils
so assuming aether teleportation is a testing method. These just means StB makes no sense on how people were able to travel in mere minutes between the FAR east and Eorzea?
?
I can't even use teh short queue function yoshi p told us about
the only thing their testing in sharlyan is letting people who havent attuned to aetheryte before travel there
people can still just travel between attuned aetherytes
Where are the last 2 aether current quests in thavnair?
I got the MSQ aether current quest but only have 2 completed
if theres no more blues on your map they prolly just unlock later down the msq line
or do they appear after
They appear lvl85/86
they have a few callouts to different jobs you leveled if you talk to people after that cutscene its nice
in which area though?
I thought it was radz-at-han, but no question marks there
Does the game keep on crashing/freezing for anyone else in the 1st cutscene with Fandaniel in the Tower of Zot?
aha, the quests appeared
||krile gets headache.
me : "Champions from beyond the rift, HEED MY CALL"|| 

Great game is stuck on a single frozen frame
|| in from the cold stealth duty is actually terrible ||
healer mains busy lvling sage probably
HOLY FUCK
This is so sad!
@sonic atlas What level are those spoilers from?
Also umm... I just finished the 2nd dungeon and WOW, Square has really upped their dungeon game. That was fantastic. The bosses, visuals, etc.
the background theme for the baldesion annex samples a previous FF song, does anyone know what that song is? It's driving me crazy trying to remember
I mean I know bosses are always harder at the beginning of an expac, but still.
Dungeon 2 was really easy I thought lol
It was pretty cool tho
im past the first trial.
currently on the quest after doing first trial :p dont click if not there yet
graha eating borgar brings me endless joy
@woeful dagger Maybe it's not the difficulty exactly, we had 1 wipe on the 2nd boss. It's just the bosses have so much more going on mechanically on top of having a LOT more HP it feels like.
Also I want to reiterate how much fun BRD is now, especially on trash packs.
Guess it depends on your party members and if they were already in full 530/535 or not.
Oh well I was definitely not in full 530/535, lol.
how did it take to get there and did you skip cutscenes
To switch gears to something lore-wise... how is it that ||Fandaniel/Zenos can release Zodiark if all the worlds haven't been rejoined? Isn't he not even whole until then? Or are they content just with an 8/14 rejoined Zodiark?||
Idk took me probably 9-10 hours of playing time, no skipped cutscenes other than skipping Aether Current quest cutscenes.
I faced tank drought in second trial.
I also did 6 FATEs in every zone for Riding Map, as well as all Aether Current quests. So I didn't just b-line through the MSQ.
damn i guess ill be there tomorrow
lol in Dungeon 3, myself and my healer partner queued for it and I noticed we got the 2 dps who were just standing around the queue area. wonder how long they were waiting for us.
how many role quests are there?
decades
especially when its MSQ-tied, probably
when you 2002 so much the game doubles up on you
you guys don't use trusts? 🤔
Trusts take about as long as waiting in a queue would lol
trusts are fine for me cause I like the lore even tho they take longer
I prefer the silence and company of 3 other strangers who only type “o/“ :^)
why queue with cpus when you can show off your mediocre skills to random strangers
i'll probably go back and re-do them all with Trusts to see the interactions
Theyre especially useful with the healer draught
If your queue is over 15 min trusts are def faster
well i played for 2am-7am yesterday morning then 1-9pm yesterday night, and currently ive been on for5 hours sooo . 18 hours of playtime so far :p i havent skipped any cutscenes. mind that ive also been getting aether currents and messing around a bit
because i am online at ~7am not prime time when the queue is 9000+ on cerberus
queued over 3 hours to get kicked out at number 1 
i just get on early when queue is 30
friends are tryna get in right now and its like 3k :)
have we've seen these flowers before? They're familiar
you can grow them in your house
"early" 5AM
it was 8am for me this morning when i got on :)
i logged on around 5:15am and queue was like 14
more like 9am but sure.
as someone who got on cactuar at 8:40 and queue was 50
I logged in at 12 PM CST to a 1200 person queue but it was fast enough like 20 min
queue yesterday at fricking 2am when you could first long on was absolutely ridiculous
was only about 300 for me at launch
800 at launch for me
actually was 800, but when i was at 300-500 a ton of people got 2002 and i didn't and the game let me in
2000 for me cause i crashed :)
managed to slip in. My friend had like 3k or something
Nice, I didnt get 2002 that entire time i waited so whew
i think launch queue went buy so quick cause people just went to bed instead of waiting
lot of people didn't get off for work
I should not have logged off lmao
you'd be kicked no matter what
nah
I tried every method to bypass, none seem to work.
i havent had an error all of yesterday or the 8 hours ive played today
ive played 18 so far and no errors when in game. besides a few laggy patches
yeah
only time i've been able to login was at 2am this morning
oh lol, early monring queues are really low anyway
i can't even get to the character select screen now
It’s been an easy time as an OCE player :> <50 q
anyone here finished the sidequest Secret in the box? I have done entry 1 and 3 but cant figure out 2
yeah, not many people are there probably?
how the hell are you there>
Played at start of early access, played most of yesterday, played all morning today, I did take a few breaks/sleep/eat obviously
same but im just finishing ||moon quest line||, ive been immersed in the music
Oh yeah, this expansion has been amazing, really just wanting to finish this trial so I can start doing alt jobs
And the job gear is 10/10, not only in design but the way they have it set up to obtain it, really really nice
help does anuone know where this aether current would even be
This 81/82 area... don't try to make me happy before ripping out my heart
@harsh nimbus under, there’s a hole
Only logical answer is under you
ty :)
To your SE
I started at 5700 got down to 1067 and then Error 2002
I don't like this one bit
And now I cant get past the start menu when I login
That moment when you queue up for the first trial and it's 29 minute long wait time
use || around your words...
||radz?||
||like this||
spoiler example ||like this||
yes
story progression
ok, thanks!
im at 85 MSQ and have yet to get access
|| its eldmore all over again ||
yes lmao
||So the moon IS, in fact, haunted! Moon's haunted.||
lunatender blossom? anyone know how to craft or find
Probably killing the lunatender enemies
You can use context clues to figure out where a lunatender would be
wait, what? we're expected to think? and not just blindly follow guides? gasp
they're on the moon @mortal solar
damn yall need some sleep
everyone does, do it during queue
how can i touch grass if i live on the moon
queue ? never heard of it
I slept 10 hours last night and I'm still in queue for the last trial 🤷♂️
touch the metal grass
cant hear yall on the moon sry
@mortal solar Why do we need sleep? xD
I dunno if this is common knowledge or who needs to see this, but this stupid sexy map might be what you need:
Oh the wipes you are about to experiance LOL
I cannot unsee the curves
Please enjoy.
I'm fine with wiping, just means it'll be fun
fuck now im caught up in the 2002 spiral

i feel like these errors are telling me to just go play somethign else
So this is all making me wonder....what comes after Endwalker.....what could they do next.
well find out starting from 6.x I believe
6.1 is a new story
WoW crossover event where we ||pilot the moon to Azeroth||
azeroth is just another shard
|| I reached Garlemald ||

by wild they mean wildly ||depressing||
yes

Is it me or does the beginning of this expansion feel really slow? The amount of escorting and follow the leader quests really slow things down imo.
first half of every expansion is very slow
Shadowbringers was the same way
um not sure if this the right place to ask just got to the ||radio part in garlemald|| and wanted to know if theres a roll for it
then the last few levels are really fast
The double msqs at the start
yes there is.
May i know the name and how i obtain it :X like msq or fates n such
oh by roll i thought you meant "role" as in is it story-important. sorry, i have no idea if you can obtain it
Ahh ic haha i meant orchestrion roll, Ty tho!
ohhh that. yeah no clue sorry my homie.
Can someone tell me what does it say here? welcome to the ???
Classroom
n can anyone remind me of the colors of the emotions for the flower/
