Why can't I set newly acquired actions to my hotbar on ps4? I'm level 15 and the unlock is level 15, but it's "greyed" out for me to assign. It's the throwing dagger and mug actions for rogue

Hmm....maybe? I didn't know there were actions that you only acquire that way. I'll read up on it
Edit: Ok, that was it. Thanks for clearing up. Was driving me nuts why I couldn't use it haha

I'm now 10/12 horns.
Done 11 Ixion fights.

Ok so now Malboro has the red "1" sign as well, and when I hover over it says I can't create any more characters on the server.
I'm getting worried. Am I fucked? My gf is already on Ultros.
So it sounds like you have the Entry level sub, which means you can only have 1 character per server. So if you've got a 1,then you've got a character on that server and can't make another

If you ask me, the story only gets engaging starting with the "The last glass" quest. That's when shit gets super real.
its probably going to worse tomorrow with omega coming out and it being the 4th.
Something about enmity buffs, WOE UNTO POOR HEALERS CONFRONTED WITH i270 (pls, give us bosses that hit hard enough for that to matter), threat(? i think?) changes in 4.01, actual balance changes coming in 4.05, a bunch of crap about personal damage vs party utility damage.
I see nothing about "guys we fucked up and accidentally released a joke MCH build we made for April Fool's day we'll fix it", so I guess hold out hope for the live letter on the 15th?
The best part is that it sure seems like they didn't see 270 slaying coming. H O W
Please wait for adjustments until right before Savage releases.
Please understand.
I could've sworn they even mentioned it wouldn't apply to old accessories? Like, I'm pretty sure that was a thing and why basically all of our reactions going into the expansion was "oh hey using these accessories forever" even before we saw it in-game first-hand.

Skimmed through it. Don't expect much in 4.01 other than enmity buffs for tanks due to complaints that the new balance made it harder to pull when doing leveling dungeons on lower levels.
For 4.05 they will focus on more job balances but they don't really have much to announce until the Live Letter on the 15th. But there's a lot of consideration being made with regards to DPS roles and how they have been reworked, as well as player feedback on tanks using str accessories now.
I am...all NA data centers for me give me 2002 error
EU datacenter is working fine for me though...

So guys I am new to the game. Level 26 just finished the first 3 dungeons. I play a Gladiator at the moment. Any really important tips? I see all kinds of stuff I don't really get, like leves and retainers and shit. I am only doing the main story and class quests but I am like 8 levels ahead from xp boosts.

So no changes until 4.05 which is when Savage comes I assume.
Good to know I'll be able to ride the slaying train for a while longer.

Square has been saying they've been experiencing DDOSes for a while now.
Broken google translate seems to be implying tying damage scaling to VIT that currently the parameters for HP and damage on VIT are tied together (can't increase one without increasing the other) tying it to VIT alone the amount they'd need to change the value to keep them competitive with damage would bloat the HP values.
The answer would be to separate into two paramaters for VIT (one for HP, the other for damage) obviously but who knows what's preventing them from doing that.
Leves are basically repeatable missions you can do for XP. some are great (costa del sol) for getting over the level hump in some parts, but if you're that far ahead, don't worry about it.
Retainers are extra inventory basically. You can level them up and send them out on missions to gather things, steal peoples roofs, or disappoint you with random fish. You can only level them up to what your max level is on a class, so if you have a level 13 archer, your archer retainer (you can assign them classes) can only go up to 13, I believe. They can also sell stuff on the markets for you so people don't really know who is selling what exactly.
As for general advice, I trust you already know about enmity and keeping aggro/hate. Know your combos and your potencies and re-read all of your tooltips to make sure you get a good idea of what your moves do.
Otherwise, if you see a hunt - pull it early and blame GAF.
don't do this

Yeah, I'm new to FFXIV but I raid tanked for 10 years in WoW and many years in other MMOs. I know how to do that. I'm mostly just a little daunted by all this seemingly inane shit the game throws at me like the Golden Saucer.
You've got a massive leg up on most tanks in this game then! All the other stuff is fluff, set it aside and fiddle around with it later. You'll naturally kinda flow through one thing after another. Gold Saucer is pretty fun though.
Me before Garuda: Nice and gentle ramp-up, story starting to go places.
During: Oh geez she did what?
After: Oh gawd oh gawd oh gawd they did what?!

yeah I'm enjoying it a lot so far. I'm interested in that stuff but generally I get laser-focused on XP gains 'til level cap.
Now that I've had some time to digest both, I think Stormblood is a better paced, but is less personal and has a less complex story. Heavensward was a more ambitious and more interesting story, but had worse pacing. Overall I'd say Stormblood was more enjoyable to play.
Heavensward was more engaging with both story and villains, but Stormblood felt better to play and feels generally more concise. Character writing gives a slight edge to Heavensward, partly because the villains had better motivations.
A few specific points:
- Hauchefaunt and Aymeric were both really likeable and the friendship felt personal. In HW, the WoL was
seriously in trouble and Hauchefaunt was the one who took you in
- Having said that, I thought the story development was great in both. Despite being less personal, SB's plot still nailed what it was going for.
Multiple depictions of broken and oppressed people felt believable, and made you understand where they were coming from. The frustration felt on all sides was very real.
- The party characters were about even in terms of how likeable they were. I really liked Gosetsu, and how the writing went out of its way to differentiate Alisae's personality from Alphinaud's, and Lyse's from Yda's. Side characters like Conrad were good, too. They kind of had more personality than HW Alphinaud and Estinien (though I thought Ysayle was good).
- Both stories had their somewhat bland characters. Aymeric was fairly bland, but still more interesting than Hien. Yugiri disappointingly got very little development in SB.
- The villains in Heavensward were MUCH more interesting than the ones in SB. SB had comic book villains who did bullshit in the first 5 minutes of showing up just to show they're bad, then
continued to be assholes throughout the game to show that they're REALLY bad. They get a little bit of development, but they're like 98% caricatures from beginning to end (30 seconds of backstory does not make me sympathetic to why Yotsuyu is the way she is)
- Stormblood's MSQ was more fun to play through. The Xaela area in particular did a good job of showing differing personalities and cultures very quickly, and had fun side questlines with interesting small stories (I liked the cook in the super warrior-oriented camp, and the guy who was struggling to live up to his blademaster ancestor). In contrast, Heavensward had fucking moogle hell, so the devs obviously learned from that.
- Both stories had their bullshit copouts. Stormblood had "
We're having trouble freeing this oppressed people from a hopelessly strong opponent. Our solution is... to cross the entire world and start ANOTHER war on the opposite side of the world, to free this OTHER oppressed people from the same hopelessly strong opponent!
bullshit handwave solution to the whole Lororito thing that made you flee Eorzea at the end of ARR in the first place. That was a massive copout and I'm still disappointed at how quickly that was smoothed over with everything forgiven
Got Susano down to 12% once and wiped to enrage. We never got that close again. It doesn't help that I keep getting myself killed. I always run the wrong way during the puddles in the last phase. I think I'm going to have to have GAF carry me. Surely someone will carry a worthless tank.

I took a break of farming Susano for two days so I thought i'd try some before maint. Lol, only got 3 kills and the rest were wipes. People putting the lightning on safe spot are so damn silly. People running the other way because of an aoe also dont help with the lightning marker.
Man the dialogue in the beginning of ARR is reeeeaaaaally wordy lol. Kind of daunting.
Trying to burn through my first 15 levels so I can group up with my gf sooner. She isn't gonna start for a few days so hopefully that way we can avoid playing separately haha. My name is Ali Ma'amu, I'd love to add some of y'all!
