Have you tried deleting your payment method and then re-adding it? That seemed to work for me a month ago.

Chocorpokkur mount (previously from a Butterfingers promotion) is coming back, this time as a Twitch viewer reward. So if you missed out on getting this "chocolate" mount last time, you have another chance.

Nice to see them bringing back promo stuff again. I got it during the Butterfinger promo, but it was absurdly dumb to do. You had to take a photo and email it to someone who looked at it and sent you an item code back lol.

Servers are apparently getting DDOSed a few days before launch.

I expect following the DDOS after the preload on the 27th datamines will surface and on the 28th possible server crashes and maybe some kind of new drama will ensue as XIV is want to have.Servers are apparently getting DDOSed a few days before launch.

Patch is up and available for DL. 57GB on PC
For those that aren't afraid of spoiler stuff here's the in-progress data-mining thread:
Or via the balance discord for VERY spoilery caps from model viewer etc. https://discord.gg/f5cPRYmv
Overall it's a similar drop of new gear\mounts\minions as previous expansions. Can't wait to get started on collecting it all!

The console download was supposed to release today and for PC tomorrow to reduce the datamine and spoiler potential, but I guess they mixed up the dates lol

Only got like 3 hours of sleep because I was up late trying to finish up Elden Ring DLC in time (I failed but I'm like 75% done - sorry Yoshi-P). Here's hoping I don't fall asleep while grinding Viper in Zadnor lol

Hermes is still at it and has given us Syrcus Tower Savage

Edit2: The travel issue was resolved pretty quickly. Kudos to SE

Alright, grind to 90 on Viper is done. So far I must say I had a better time leveling VPR in Zadnor than I did Reaper. RPR felt incomplete during leveling, like something major was missing from the kit (Enshroud + related skills) while VPR felt nice and busy, even though it is technically also missing its capstone skills. Gonna play around with the training dummy a bit, and then I'm finally off to Tural.
Also, based on Zadnor, it seems more players on Primal are playing Viper than Pictomancer right now. Most groups I joined were like 80% vipers.

Viper becomes fun at 90 or so I hear.
Pictomancer is a powerhouse from 30 to 100.

So what's everyone's thoughts on the MSQ so far? Please use spoiler tags if necessary.
I just hit my first level 93 quest so I'm still fairly early, but so far I'm reminded a lot of ARR in the sense that it's a LOT of worldbuilding (naturally) and errands to run... and I'm sure a lot of people are NOT fond of that.
Case in point:
There's no question it will pick up (thanks launch trailer), but it's definitely not the strongest start.

Personally I love it so far. Just hit level 93, finished HanuHanu and Pelu bits and the side quests within those zones. The new cultures are fun to learn about and explore, the graphical update makes every zone so far absolutely gorgeous, and Pictomancer is a ton of fun to play. Its animations are nice and punchy, it’s visually fantastic with its colors. The music is, as usual from Soken, amazing.
I can see some folks who want ever endlessly escalating stakes to be “bored” with this, but you need to get the set up to enjoy the those high stakes.

Its excellent for me so far. We literally traveled across the galaxy to defeat an apocalyptic demi-god. The writers needed to pump the brakes and thats exactly what they did. I am 100% fine with tacos and rural villages for now.

I agree a change of pace was necessary (expected, even), but I can understand why some people are disappointed with the beginning of Dawntrail. But I'm enjoying it all the same. Just cleared the first trial. Pleasantly surprised that it was another Trust-able trial like Hydaelyn.
Also, I forgot who on this forum said I don't have to worry about gearing up before DT because MSQ gives you gear... this is why I did it:
That's from one of the MSQ coffers. Check the marketboard for which job is in most demand and has the least supply, and then jack up the price. EZ Gil
Edit: NA servers just crashed around 6pm Eastern.
Now I'm in a 3k queue lol. Welp, that gives me time to make dinner.

The graphics update is probably the best part of this expansion, honestly. Fixes every problem I've had with the graphics for the past 10 years (horrible anti-aliasing solution, half-framerate reflections, lowish draw distance, low-res textures, etc.) and makes everything look great. Viera already looked pretty good since they were a fairly recent addition, but they managed to make them look even better. There's still some work to be done with some textures but I'm sure they'll get around to them.
But yeah I'm almost done with MSQ. 97+ has been a treat for me, and I can't wait to see how it ends...
I also can't wait for the Field Ops in this expansion. Jumping back into Zadnor when I was leveling Viper really reminded me how much we missed out in Endwalker.

Its sad that you had to do that workaround lol but welcome to Tural fren. Its a slow but satisfying journey.
I’d imagine we wouldn’t get that until 7.2 heh but yes will be kino.

Darkness no more
I like the graphics update. It has been subtle in a lot of areas, but that is what I expected and like. My character looks a bit better when it could have gone either way.
The main story so far as been snooze inducing though. I don't like this cat thing I have to follow everywhere.

In Regards to Upcoming Job Adjustments | FINAL FANTASY XIV, The Lodestone
In Regards to Upcoming Job Adjustments

It's been less than a week and CBU3 has already decided to nerf Viper's positionals (which really aren't that demanding) because some people (who probably haven't leveled VPR to 100 yet) complained it was too busy. The business is what makes it fun IMO...
Edit: seems a lot of people are confused as to why they're nerfing Viper already
The rest of the changes seem to be reasonable. I've seen Picto ripping aggro off of tanks in dungeons so it's understandable that they're boosting aggro generation with tank AOEs.

Finished 7.0 yesterday.
I could write paragraphs about everything that is both good and bad about the expansion but I'm going to keep it short: I don't think it's nearly as bad as some people (I think people who HATE Dawntrail just couldn't stand Wuk Lamat), but it's got major issues that extend further than the usual problems with XIV's storytelling. Still, I enjoyed the journey for the most part and look forward to what comes next because it'll be interesting to see how CBU3 reacts to the polarizing reception.

If I'm one of the heathens who has been conditioned to skip the story in MMOs but actually wants to give the Dawntrail story a shot, where should I start?
I'm about to finish Endwalker. Should I skip 6.1-7.0 or is 6.1 a good starting point for Dawntrail's story? Some people are saying 6.55 is a better starting point. The official MSQ skip item SE sells brings you to 7.0.

honestly, it probably won't take you too long to just go through the MSQ itself if you just do the fighting and skipping the cut scenes. but I know the DT storyline started around 6.55 or so if that helps.
nikos
Member
I'm definitely going to finish the current content without buying the skip. Just not sure where to start paying attention to the story after Endwalker ends. If 6.55 is a good starting point, I'll continue to skip the story from 6.1-6.55.
I regret skipping the story in this game. I've heard it's really good.
Robot Carnival

yeah. the story for the most part is really good. one of the best in gaming really. of course there are some hit and miss, but for the most part I think they did a great job with it. just click through it a little faster and avoid skipping it altogether if you're interested.

You can also do NG+ if you want to get to Endgame faster and afterwards want to go back and replay the story. I do that on rare occasion for the various expansions I want to revisit.
