I have 2.0. If I purchase the base Heavensward off Squares webstore for $19.99 does that come with any game time or anything?

I have 1.2 million MGP.

Every loving day all I do is just log in, do cactpots, run a GATE, and then go fishing. It's actually pretty chill.

This look is nice af. I think the Flame Coat looks better, but I'm turning around.

Yeah, a big issue with the Storm Jacket is how difficult it is to find lower pieces of equipment that look good with it. It just uses some weird shades that barely match up to anything available. Just on a whim I was by my armoire and tried a bunch of event pants, took notice, wondered how they dyed, and was really happy with the end result.

basically if you're not running around half naked on your tanks, flexing bosses into submission, you're playing the game wrong. if you're playing a race without a muscle slider (or you're a midlander) you hosed up so bad that the shame alone should make you uninstall

A good opinion.

Storm's eye is my 3rd GCD as a warrior. If you can hit it on your second GCD its no problem to go ahead and do it. After that point, though, the war should have eye up 100% of the time.

When I have ninjas that constantly use DE I'll just run path instead of eye to lower damage all around.

DE is the 3rd button in that combo. So it's literally never useful if there's a WAR around, then. Cool, good to know.

To be fair, this kind of maintenance happens, like, once a quarter and there are rarely server issues.

It sucks right now, but we probably won't see it again till June.

fail to log on,
attempt to log on,

go to do something,
disconnect,

another maintenance notice,
wait until that's done,
repeat the above,
another maintenance notice,

finally get to do stuff.

It blows, no doubt. If I'm smart about sleep tonight I'll be able to play for an hour after servers come up, and then not again until late night Tuesday.

When they do a full day of maintenance like this, does it still count against your subscription timer? If so that kinda sucks a lil bit.

It's not really about the money it's more about the like principle of the thing? If I paid for 30 days I want 30 days not 29 days, that's all. Like I said it only sucks a lil bit I realize this is a really petty complaint but dammit I care.

You haven't been unfairly treated.

Besides, half the time you're getting 31 days. Next month you only get 29, will you raise hell then?

Do people just have terrible memories or something? You needed 2k light. Pre-nerf you got approximately 18 for doing roulettes. If I had only gotten light from doing stuff I normally would do it would take about 100 days to finish. Meanwhile people endlessly complain about the umbrite step which I finished in 28 days just playing normally and I am just over here like :wtc: .

So that's just a problem with the implementation of Light. The concept of just making small bits of progress for doing literally any instance/duty is still kind of preferable over Books, Umbrite/Sands, Dungeon Atma, etc. They just need to make it less of a slog.

Geez, I didn't realize this would be such a touchy subject. It's just a minor annoyance, not a huge complaint. It's like being handed slightly wrong change when buying something. It's not a big enough deal to actually do anything about, but it's mildly irritating to have lost like 50 cents or whatever for no reason.

Edit: I now realize with this post that I'm so goddamn stingy that I care about 50 cents dang
