Honestly I'm not so sure that even better rewards would make LoV more popular. It just sucks. At least there's fun to be had in PotD and it has the benefits of giving amazing exp for levelling jobs and the the rewards on top of that.

Have you played LoV?
Mine was between the credits and back page on a little card. I didn't notice it at first because it was pretty snug against the binding. Might want to double check in case you overlooked it. If not I hope they can resolve it for you without too much hassle.
No, there's no way I missed it, I flipped through like 8 times.
*goes and checks*
Welp.
I'll see myself out. Thank you for where to exactly look, it is really tucked in there.
This never used to affect me but this time it did which is odd. Anyway seems fixed now.
I actually enjoy Palace of the Dead. It's more interesting than gathering monsters together to practice your AOE skills on so better than dungeons for me. Though obviously dungeon bosses are better. The fact that you don't have the healer-tank-DPS every time makes it way more interesting.

I've gotten NIN, WAR, and PLD to 60 with PotD.
PLD was suffering,though. Who can even PLAY this?

So it's just a little card? I think mine might actually be missing.

PLD still feels like it's missing something *coughAOEcough*.
It needs just a bit more complexity to it to make it something I'll not feel like switching off from.
Hopefully 4.0 provides this. And when it doesn't I will say the same thing about 5.0.
I stopped leveling PLD at level 50. I just find the job incredibly boring to play. Reading your messages doesn't make me want to continuing leveling it up.
I guess I really should try the WAR and DRK. I am not fond of tanking, but at least those two jobs seem fun to play.
Anyhow, I need to finish leveling up AST to 60 (currently 56) and get all Sophia weapons (missing 3 and I am done).

not just you looks like ultros went boom for some of us
I was happily playing, then zoned and now dead.
This is twice in my 10 days of playing that I've been unable to play. Not off to a good start.

Behemoth went kaput as well, I guess Primal just got fucked
=( in that case a quick warning to anyone on Ultros if you are currently logged in don't log out or you will not get back in at the moment.
I can honestly say I've not had any problems in the 2 months I've played so I think you've just hit some bad luck (I've played almost everyday as well.)
Edit: Oh wow looks like its kicking people off as well RIP fix yo servers Yoshi P.

It looks like all of Primal is going down. Guess someone will be pulling emergency maintenance this weekend.

What is it with the Primal data center?
Old hardware probably
Maybe they should take their own advice on upgrading?

Levi dead, no biggie, time to play other games
Yeah, that's what I'm about to do. Going to get WoFF & Exist Archive. Then later I'll celebrate SSG's victory.
Yeah, little card on the second to last page.
It's harder but A9S is more the difficulty of an ex primal. I'd put it at around the same difficulty level as Sophia ex.
Everything hits harder and mechanics failures count more (if you don't hide behind a rock, you get one shot, etc), but A9S is probably the easiest raid floor since at least second coil so... not much? There are really only four people in the group that need to know the fight--the MT needs to know where to point the boss when, the OT and one healer need to know the power generator pick up, placement, and add kite spots, and the designated Alarum dude needs to know how to do the Alarums (tag thing, take to spot, kill thing.) If you're one of those four people and you don't know the role, it's rough. If you're one of the other four people, you're pretty much reacting to some obvious telegraphed tells, hiding behind the boss when he tank busters (which doesn't have the orange marker telling you anymore, but just get on the butt during Scrapline or the puddle during double scrap), following the group and just hoping the four people who need to know the fight know it.
9 is probably easier than Sophia EX to be honest since there's no randomness to the mechanics.
I have been having an issue for awhile where my whole screen is flickering in direct x mode. It used to be very sporadic, but I just got a gsync monitor and it is doing it multiple times a min. I have tried all the in game settings and the nvidia control panel settings and nothing fixes it. I am having no issues in directx 9c mode. Any ideas?

So as a complete newbie, any things to keep in mind as I progress?
- keep doing the main quest or are there good dungeons I should spend some time in for gear early?
- I'm assuming pump my attributes into my jobs main stat? I'm a 16 pugilist, 18 rogue going for ninja. So I'll be throwing it into Dex.
- I don't plan on spending much time crafting but is there a low effort high reward one I should do for a bit?
Any other newbie tips would be nice

Keep doing the quests, they'll reward you with most of necessary gear.
Yes, main stat, which is STR for PGL and DEX for ROG - stats are locked to classes, not characters.
Crafting only brings big rewards if you invest into it really heavily.
Grats!! Fight looks fun. Can't wait until I get there (hopefully soooon. Hitting last phase of 11 now with my group. If only we raided more)
Last phase is the most stressful thing for healers I've ever seen in this game bar none. So much healing required it's crazy.
I don't even know how people survive 4-5 rotations of Void of Repetance.

Edit: NVM.
Assuming you have 128 tokens, 29 runs ago.
Not pictured: every weapon, of course.
At what point should I just give up on that mount drop and wait for the NPC vendor in 3.65?
Before Sophia I thought it was crazy that mounts cost 99 totems. "Who'd kill a boss that many times?!"
