Actually most sold bonus is on older content, to encourage people to do it again. New dungeons (Snowcloak, etc) and trials (Shiva, Ultros) don't have it yet.

That means you're a HM/EX trials, high level dungeons, CT and 1/2nd coil farm. Our fc needs more people like that.

That makes sense, thanks for the reply! I'd join the Gaf FC, but I'm on Exodus.

I'll consider it, but I don't really know how to re-stream, exactly.

Only reason I ask is I might not be home this time around. We'll see. If I am, I'll throw a link out.

One would think someone would question things around step 23 or so but I guess they were in too deep at that point.

On the whole, the steps make more sense than the first time I paid for a nico premium tbh. That site is a fucking nightmare.
 
I'm passed the halfway point of my light farming.

My mind cannot wrap around the fact that each HM trial bonus gets me .4% closer to my goal. This feels unattainable.

I cant believe the people who did 500 straight of these. Then again, i was crazy thinking i could get it playing regularly without being 4 months late to the relic stage.

Looking for a WHM or SCH with experience up to T12 add phase or T13 for the week of December 23rd. We can make most any night outside of the xmas days, or at least we can figure out a schedule that works for all of us. Tombstone and carbontwine would be already locked to someone but you can have carboncoat (assuming you get no healer gear to drop).

I wanted to check here first incase any statics here are taking a break for the xmas week but a healer still wants to get items for the lockout week.

Yeeeeeaaah, Nexus stage probably needs to get a bit of a nerf. They should just double or triple the values for each tier of light. I mean, seeing as their goal here is to keep people doing content, and that the previous stages and the Zodiac stages all accomplish this...

Well, maybe for 2.5.

Nexus grind is the worst grind in the game right now.

It cannot be done casually within an appropriate timeframe. Every other grind before it I did casually. The next step I can do casually. It's just this step that's bad.

I'm at like 1100/2000.

yeah, this just makes me wanna reroll on Ultros again and try healing :U

Ultros isn't a huge server by any means, in fact compared to the more heavily populated servers we're probably pretty sparsely populated.

Compared to the low population servers however... Well I'm sure you could do much worse than Ultros.

Ehh maybe I am placing too much emphasis on solo play. I don't get an opportunity to play intensively but levels 30+ without being in a FC sounds really boring and unsocial, or at the very least it'd be nice to be able to regularly play and interact with other people. I can always rejoin Ultros GAF but I imagine everyone is doing high level end game content. :)

There's usually a decent handful of people on GAF leveling up alt classes, or their first class, at any given time. However the most active people do tend to focus on end-game.

Also, yeeeeah, the last ten levels, 40-50, tend to be the worst to level.

And? Some will still be leveling alt classes or even going through the game for the first time. Plus there is plenty of folks willing to help do dungeons or other stuff with low level people.

:D Rejoin and your chat won't look so quiet at least :p

I have a question,

A store currently has FF14 ARR for €2.50, but it doesn't say anywhere whether it includes a 30 day subscription with it. It normally costs €19.99. If it does include the subscription, would I be able to play with it on my PS4? I know it costs about €34.99 on the PS4 but I downloaded the trial and I can just log in with any account now, so is it possible to just add the subscription to my account and keep playing on the trial launcher?

if it's the ps3 version, you can buy that and then upgrade it to the ps4 version for free (until March I believe). If it is the PC version, then no. And I believe you can still play your trial character if you buy a sub, not quite sure though

I never pegged you for such a casual.

It is the PC version. So, you're saying I can just take the code that's in the box for the PC version, add that to my trial account, and keep playing on my PS4? I really don't see what would keep me from redeeming the code on the account I'm using on the PS4 version on PC, and then just keep playing on the PS4 since I already have the launcher.

I actually have no idea what'll happen tbh now that you've explained it. The only reason you needed to buy the ps3/ps4 version separately was to install the game, but since you have the trial software you may not need too. But yea I have no idea

Guess I'll just have to buy it and find out, since it's pretty cheap. Thanks for helping~

Yall ready for this weekend?

Ready for
DISAPPOINTMENT!

and
REGRETS!

I hope they show gunner :[

Also lmao at niconico instructions.

Not gonna lie, I'll probably only tune in for the costume contest. I expect to not be disappointed.

Must, not, chime, in! *STRAINS*

I can chime in for you if you want :)

Back on the subject of this weekends liveletter, they'll probably start showing a little 2.5 content in addition to showing a little Expansion stuff.

I don't expect TOO much of either, since there's several months still til the expansion, and probably one more Live Letter before 2.5, buuut between the two there should be enough to generate some hype.

Edit:

List of 2.5 stuff I expect to see.

Incomplete dungeon preview.
Talk about the new PVP mode they hinted at in the last live letter.
Maaaaybe CT3 preview.
Incomplete look at the Odin Extreme Trial.

Expansion stuff I expect to see?

Reveal of the Second Class.
More info on Dark Knight, maaaaaybe a shot of the in game model.
Extended Trailer.
Possibly a closer look at the Primals, I'm still expecting a 3rd Expansion Primal, to be honest.
Maybe revealing that huge FC activity they were talking about? The one apparently aimed at mid-level players?

lol I love that gif

Probably my most used gif, so good.

Live letter will be all 2.5 stuff. Anything for the expac will be in the keynote so people feel like they are getting their money's worth for that stream.

Yes, well I'm kinda lumping everything from this weekend into the same pot, so to speak.

You'll need a copy of the PS4 version or the free upgrade from the PS3 version to play on the PS4.

If they announce a new class and the expected month of the expac, that's a win. Gold saucer info would be nice but if I was holding my breath for that, I would have died like 8 months ago.

Sargatanas represent. Eithne Rain still posts, too.

We just don't post a lot because the OT has become more of an Ultros meta and shade throwing thread.

Represent! We will always represent the tried and true original GAF XIV players prior to 2.0. Or what's left of it.
 

LiQuid!

Alright guys, I give up with the chocobo coloring. I'm down like 200k gil and over 24 hours without a mount trying to get grape purple and I just can't do it anymore. I'm so sad right now, so it's fitting that I'm riding around on this emo turd.

A center for mini games for an MMO that has a lot of dry time? Yes please.

Also Golden Saucer does not equal a 1:1 copy of FF7's

I know, was just trying for a bit of humor. Though I am idly curious how they're going to make a basketball mini-game fit into Eorzea. (They are on record saying they are, or at least were planning to bring that mini-game back.)

That's black right? I can't tell on the monitor i'm on, but most folks during the beginning of the release of chocobo dyeing would have killed to have that. Haha. <3 my Lavender Blue

Technically it's ink blue, but it's pretty much pitch black. I don't see any color in-game at all.

Considering we were shown a Chocobo racing course that was outside and not rainbow road again, it's best to assume that it will be Gold Saucer in name only and not a copy.

I know, again, my earlier comment was an attempt at levity.

Too subtle apparently.

Give your funds a week or two to recover, and try again. Next time, look online for a Chocobo coloring guide. There were a few when I was working on my own Choco, and they were very helpful.

I've been following the chocobo color calculator at every step and doing the thing where you feed alternating fruits so you don't max out an RGB level and still haven't hit the target. I will keep trying eventually. It's just such a tiring process.
