So what's the cheapest way to get this mount if I have no friends? Subscribe for a bunch of months on one account? Or buy multiple copies and sub for 3 months?

Edit: If I understand this correctly you get 5 feathers for them buying the game through you using your code. And you get 5 more feathers for 150 days subbed. So I have an account that a friend bought 120 days on through GTC with my code but they don't play anymore. If I buy another 30 days through GTC and then I buy another game but don't sub I should be good right?

There is, and it does. My box had 15 feathers in it when I logged it and was unable to accept more campaign letters. So I deleted the three that used to have Gold Feathers in them, hit Send Reward Delivery, and got the last package of 5+Fist Bump item in seconds.

Thanks for this. I tried deleting all my old campaign letters (even though my mailbox was only at 13/20 capacity), relogged, and got the rest of my feathers. Got all 30 of them now!

e: I grabbed both the mounts, and still have 7 feathers left over. Did SE ever mention if they were going to add more feather rewards in the future, or should i just stock up on jet black dye with the rest of them?

Level 52 is a CD. Level 54 is another CD. Levels 56 and 58 are the combo extenders, and level 60 is geiskogul (which is rad and now the best part of the class).

So nothing changed really about playing up to 56 then? That's good.

Question about Geirskogul while I'm here, and I hope this doesn't sound daft, what makes it so rad? I look at it and from the text I kind of see not much more than a slightly more powerful Howling Fist (less powerful if you count GL3) with a finickier "cooldown". :shrug:

Yeah this worked for me as well. I was well under my limit but nuking my old letters and hitting re-request sorted me out.

Geirskogul is off the global cooldown and has a much shorter cooldown. It chews up some of your BotD time but in there lies the game of keeping it online as long as possible by landing your combos while getting as many Geirskogul's off as you can.

I was third DPS as a PLD MT last night during an A1 run. I never really parsed a pubbie run before and was a bit surprised by the outcome.

I've been using ACT for a couple weeks now and the pubbie DPS has been goddamn morbid more often than not. I really need to do EXDR/HLDR more often with goons since it's starting to make my brain hurt.

A lot to be said about rad animations for sure :v: That's why I was comparing it to Howling Fist from MNK instead of Doom Spike, though, because it's the same in the sense that it's oGCD and really wide. Doesn't Geirskogul average out to be about a minute cooldown? Thought I read that somewhere.

(I know I'm being dumb because a line AoE oGCD is still something that DRG didn't have before, regardless of what other classes have; I just can't help comparing since I already have MNK at 60. :shobon:)

I'm thinking about coming back to this game. I want to start over on a new character because I didn't really enjoy the jobs or classes or whatever they are called that I leveled and I skipped all the cutscenes and story stuff which are supposed to be good. Is there anything that is worthwhile about Heavensward that will make leveling up to 50 better? Or can I wait to buy it later on?

The only benefit to heavensward pre-50 is that you can be a dragon person.

Geirskogul is really sweet and you can get in at least three per BoD cooldown. With a fast enough GCD, you can get 4.

'Reward items for 150 days, 210 days, and 270 days will be sent out in sequence after July 2015' is still confusing. Have all Golden Feathers been sent out, or has this current round just been for the initial recruiting rewards and there are more to come?

VVV Cheers.

SirPhoebos posted:

Real answer: yes, for reasons they haven't quite explained yet, SE began transitioning to a London-based recording studio in 2.4 for the Ishgardian characters, and with Heavensward moved English voice production over there completely, with the attendant role changes for the non-Ishgardian cast. (The old voice recording had been done in Los Angeles.) As a result, there's actually a fair number of Xenoblade veterans among the cast now - Tataru is Fiora, which is basically the best thing, and Pipin, for all he doesn't get a ton of screentime this expansion so far, is Shulk. Sadly, no Jay Taylor (Reyn) or Rufus Jones (Dunban), though with Jones that's probably because he's busy as hell. We also got David Warner (Jon Irenicus, Chancellor Gorkon, et cetera) as Edmont, which just owns.

Thanks, that's super clear. So if a dumb nerd whose friends recruited him wanted a twin mount, you'd need to pay for 3 keys? That's fairly steep. Time to wait for a gmg sale!
