That was the point where I realised the community for this game is just far better than WoW's, where I migrated from. Despite failing on that fight, everyone stayed in and tried again. This was just a bizarre concept to me. In WoW, if you wipe everyone leaves.
Well if you don't clear it you can't progress.
We need to ensure that no one is dead or weakened during the phase, thats probably the first good step
I've seen what you described happen a few times in this game, but I think the mechanics do a good job of discouraging it in FFXIV.
Next Letter from the Producer Live from Las Vegas, Oct. 19th, includes second half of 2.4 preview.
Since I doubt they would be like "It's coming out tomorrow!" I guess early November for 2.4?

I think 28th too, but 21st is also possible. Just a shame that they won't give us a date until then, most likely.
So the only Coronal Summer Halter to ever sell on the Ultros MB went for 7.5 mill; somebody had one listed for 10 million.
I decided not to instigate an undercutting war and matched at 10. Checked later and the other person dropped their price... to 3 million.
RIP my dreams of housing. I hope theirs at least sells for that, and then I can decide to match or try to drag the price up a little, but I think a lot of people wiped out their free cash on houses.

But did you make any money off of that SB session? You got really lucky with the Savage Might IV, but the others were certainly money losers vs just selling the pieces on the MB. I'll attempt to make the ilvl 90 accessories soon, but I'll only SB if I fail to make them HQ, since they already go for at least 250k and some for 400k or more and you could easily end up with a Materia worth 10k or less. I just don't like that kind of risk for a comparatively small payout (600k-800k if you hit the Materia lotery).
Well all the items and data for the Halloween event was in 2.38 so it doesn't necessarily have to come before then if that's what you mean. See here.

Yup working earlier today so I'll be ready to go tonight.
It's the timing of the event I'm talking about.

In terms of what I actually paid, I broke even. (I rouletted the elemental materia with other trash materia and got something decent out of it.) But you're right that selling the gear makes more money, although it can take time for them to sell.
On the bright side, the goal for me wasn't to make money, but to use the time I was already spending on light grinding to have a shot at a 'free' Savage Might IV. So in the end, everything worked out OK! (Yeah, yeah, I know, opportunity cost etc. I just love to RNG.)
I have four Savage Might IV to go on my revised scroll now, so I think I've reached a stage where SBing them myself will only result in heartbreak and wasted time and gil. So I'll probably just make gil and buy them off the MB when Fold is done buying them all and the market calms down a little.
The inflated materia prices are going to last until all the CL members moving are finished laundering their gil to their new server.

No problem. I'll just put skill speed on my Stardust Rod Nexus then.

talent pool. They going to south beach
Makes that server first easier if there's no competition.
I have no idea, seems stupid to me.

Can't wait to see more of third coil and maybe a sneak peak at new gear sets.

The start of the Halloween event means absolutely nothing as for the timing of the patch. If the items were added in 2.38 then that means all they have to do is flip a switch to activate the event when it's meant to go live, it's been the same with every single other event they've had.
As I said before, we are not seeing this patch till November, too much rides on it to help them lessen the blow that WoD will cause with everyone going back to it. Wondering how so many people seem to think that we were somehow getting it in the middle of the month before fanfest, when no live letter had ever been announced before then. They are adding a new class in this patch, those things take time to balance and if that means "delaying"(saving a new class for a "special" occasion) the patch to make sure it's not broken beyond belief off the bat, then that's what they're going to do.

CL confirmed for Ultros in four years after they get 2 world firsts?
Finally cleared turn 9 last night. Feels good. Of course BLM staff dropped and that's the only class we're missing.
It's not late until I get all my Supras.
So some time in 2015.

Welp I think I am going to try running Brayflox for the first time tonight. Any tips for a first run? I think I will do just fine, but I am still a bit nervous. Titan on the other hand is really scaring me, lol.
What's your class?
I seriously cannot wait for 2.4 and the unlock of Second Coil [since RNG generally hates our group] as well the introduction of Final Coil. Because of the downtime in-between patches, I actually geared up my Miner. MY MINER! It cost me basically all the Gil I had [that Materia!], although I'm hoping I'll be able to make it back shortly [or over time].
Look what you've done, Yoshida. :/

Bard.
Unlocking second coil will also mean people are more open to trying unusual group compositions for the turns!
Please don't tell me you bought your materia during CL's gil laundering phase. I've been pointing a few CL members towards certain items on the market board to diversify their portfolios. Can't put all their eggs in one basket.

I can't say for sure. Was it last night? That was when I did the bulk of my purchases and I can't say if there was a difference in the price of Materia or not [since I never really checked prior].
Yes, I was determined to Meld my gear, I wasted enough time with that procrastination!
