Guys, sorry to ask such silly questions, but here are a few:

If I have FFXIV on PC and I decide to buy the PS4 disc, does my account work immediately?

Has Square explained the details about the Machinist job in Heavensward?

Yes, you can immediately log into the PS4 version if you own both. And vice versa. It's a single login for all systems.

It's a ranged DPS that will equip modifications on its weapons, have some use for a mechanized minion (which sounds like you can mod it too), can be a support to some degree.

In more realistic terms according to the current XIV style: AYYY STACK CRIT/DET/WHATEVER MODS, HERE ARE THREE SKILLS THAT SUPPORT LIKE BARD SONGS, PLS GIV MP, TP, DEBUFF, BUFF, ETC, WHY DO MEC JUST AFK AND AUTO ATTACK IN THE RAIDS FUCK

Spoiler

There's not really a ton we know beyond broad generalizations

 

[glaurung]

Yep. You add the PS4 licence to your account and can go straight in.

Much obliged!

I am real interested in the Machinist job. Engineers in MMOs are kind of my thing (the last one to do them well was Warhammer Online; GW2 was not that great).

 

[scy]

Tell me more about it! Is there more info?

Whenever Fight or Flight is up, tank swap so the Paladin gets to Sword Oath for full DPS.

wow
Wait... they only offer steam codes though, right?
Makes it useless for a ton of people

No, actually they aren't. It's regular codes. Steam as well as PSN are still MIA.

I just grabbed the Heavensward CE code from GMG. Those vile temptresses!

I can confirm that they give you a regular MogStation code. But the codes cannot be used until June 19th.

 

[studyguy]

Well I guess that settles where I'm getting it.

Can a GMG discount get me more TT cards?

Still waiting on the steam version. T_T

please stop making my sillydragonbox purchase more unjustifiable than it already is xoxoxox

 

[LiQuid!]

Started doing Ixal quests for the first time. Am I missing something or do these require you to switch back and forth between a crafting and combat class? They don't seem very intuitively designed. Otherwise very easy tho. I was putting off doing this beast tribe because I felt like these were going to be more annoying.

 

[kirby2096]

I pre-order my copy on GMG too. Not giving a penny more for the game to S-E because of the UK Store price hike.

Spoiler

I hasn't played the game for over a year yet have kept my subscription ticking over, what am I doing?!

 

[LaunchpadMcQ]

Dang, beaten. I haven't received a code though. Since I already preordered the aforementioned sillydragonbox edition, I'll post my discount code if I get one.

As someone working on this how did you go about the materia step

 

[gabrielt16]

Was going to ask if the GMG Heavensward code was Steam or not but that got resolved. Thanks

 

[Uthred]

How do I get this code?

Haven't received one by email.

No idea, I just got an email from GMG, I assumed they were sending it out to everyone, assuming you're signed up for their newsletter/coupons I suppose

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Yoshida on incoming changes to Triple Triad NPC difficulty and the tournament system.



So it sounds like the only thing for sure guaranteed in 2.55 is NPC difficulty nerfs to ease deck-building, with mayyyyybe some reward adjustments if they make it in time?

I feel like if anything a point threshold for rewards is going to promote collusion even further.

At least having a point threshold means everybody who crosses the threshold gets a shot at a card, instead of the current system where only 3 people who cheated the hardest get a card.

 

[BadRNG]

The platinum card thing is only good part of that post. Do they really think this will stop people from selling wins though? I don't know how they can be so thick. Their first point about NPCs being too difficult to get a tournament-capable deck doesn't even make sense, nearly every NPC is easy to beat, it's just a matter of how long it takes for some of the cards to drop.

I'll believe a proper match making system is coming when it arrives. They still haven't figured out a way for us to have a damn chocobo out while in queue, and I'm supposed to expect them to retool DF into a full 1v1 match making system? Yeah ok.

 

[WolvenOne]

As has been stated in the past, Square Enix really doesn't know how to make a good competitive gameplay experience, and it's showing here once again. Eventually they'll figure it out, if they keep at it long enough, but I wouldn't expect anything dramatic too soon.

To be fair though, I would just assume they made NPC's easier, as I essentially view them as a means of learning how to use the various rule types.

 

[Pyros_Eien]

I think it's more like "we don't really want to do this stuff now, we're working on the expansion, nerds, so here have some easy to do changes and we'll get back to it when we have some time(in 3.1)".

 

[Aselith]

Question, friends, if I subscribe for a 180 membership, do I get all of the corresponding loyalty rewards immediately?

 

[iammeiam]

One consistent theme of 2.55 is making MGP easier to get--better choco race rewards, better tournament rewards, easier to farm NPCs.

I think they realized they done fucked up some of the pricing. I just want the stupid coat.

 

[Pyros_Eien]

Question, friends, if I subscribe for a 180 membership, do I get all of the corresponding loyalty rewards immediately?

If you use a time card thing, I believe that's how it works(that's how it worked before at least, I remember people buying 90days at launch to get the ahriman mount or whatever). Crysta and credit cards I think only pay 30days at a time, so you wouldn't with those. Might have changed though.

 

[BadRNG]

Yeah, you get all rewards for the days you paid.


And I'm not your friend, buddy.

There is an option to subscribe for 180 days at a reduced rate on credit cards.

And I'm not your buddy, sport.

Didn't Asami get 2nd in the last tournament without cheating?

 

[studyguy]

You are rewarded for the time added AFTER your current period is done I THINK. If you don't have any sub at all and you add 180 days then yeah you get it immediately.

 

[Moaradin]

Didn't Asami get 2nd in the last tournament without cheating?

That was before people figured out the system. Check the board now. You have no chance of competing unless you cheat.

 

[LiQuid!]

You should warn your healer if you show up to a level 44 dungeon as a tank in level 30 dragoon gear. I mean, yeah, technically it's my fault we wiped on the first pull but a little heads up would have gone a long way...

 

[EvilRedEye]

After all the panic, the EU store's had to resort to sending out a mailshot to drum up trade for the daft dragon oblong.

 

[LowParry]

Seriously? Not like I'll be able to play the day of but c'mooooon.

 

[Sorian]

Yeah but Ultros was a rare exception and that wasn't going to happen this week.

 

[Pyros_Eien]

Seriously? Not like I'll be able to play the day of but c'mooooon.

The mail says the codes cannot be used until CLOSER to the early access date, but not on that day specifically. They'll send mails back when it's available. They'd have to be monumentally idiotic to have EA codes registration on EA's day.

Damn I'm jelly.

I ordered the original collectors via GMG, where my code at?!

 

[LaneDS]

My daily 90001/90002 error followed by ten minutes of 3102 is really bumming me out. I don't think Square Enix support would be much help either. Even the VPN service I signed up for doesn't make me immune to the issue.

Anyone else have this issue?

 

[Zomba13]

Everyone getting Heavensward vouchers except me. I had a GTAV voucher but I had already preordered that from GMG so... Like... Why?

So, I tried reactivating my account today. My account was compromised at some point, good times. Now the waiting game.

That'd be nice. Ah the wait is killer. I want that new info on the new jobs.

 

[tiggerkiddo]

I despise Dzemael Darkhold as an atma dungeon, it goes so slow, especially when tanks do huge pulls with two melee who don't know how to aoe.

 

[dcye]

It's not that the NPCs where hard it was the stupidly low drop rate that makes hitting 30 a chore. I got 34 and have zero interest in card collecting which is bad due to how much time j sunk in TT during FF8. I know they only released a small amount of cards which why drop rates are shit but when you fight king for 50+ wins and only get 2 godbert and zero bahamut I threw in towel.

A thousand times this. It doesn't make sense for a mini-game that has no bearing on the actual gameplay, its supposed to be fun but unless you have unlimited time/patience, or good luck, you're boned.
