Pretty sure the KR version uses different sub models and such because it's mostly a webcafé kind of thing. Your sub time only elapses while you're active and it probably makes them less money etc.

The demographic probably factors in too, might not be popular.

Hm. Korea just got Stormblood like, two days ago.

Do they have a dumb thing where their servers have to be segregated from the rest of the world or something?

Ff14 is not handled by SE directly, but is published by EYEDENTITY GAMES which needs to basically take StormBlood and translate it into Korean basically when it's released in other languages.

Also KR games tend to have segregated servers due to needing a KR SSN because of the Cinderella Law that prohibits minors from playing between 12-6AM

A GM on the JP side of the game messaged something like 11 users to ask them to stop posting eroticised screenshots from the game on twitter. They say it's not against the TOS but if they keep doing it, it probably will be because this game isn't NSFW/18+.

This is the twitter of one of the users. NSFW warning, no nude mods or anything.

If they don't want barely covered catgirl butt pictures floating around they probably should stop selling swimsuits in the mog station and just delete subligar from the game. They could use the WoW methodology which is to make all the character models look like rear end then cover them with giant shoulderpads.

My understanding is that the actual issue here is the copyright notice being added to the screenshots, which implies some level of official support.

It's mostly interesting to me that they're coming out and saying knock it off while admitting no rules are being broken while addressing something outside of the game as the offending issue.

I would have thought they'd have actively amended the ToS and had you have to re-agree to it before saying "knock off the poo poo porn on twitter".

So I finished the Azim Steppe and Doma yesterday, and

Holy poo poo the Nadaam was awesome.

Holy poo poo Doma Castle was loving awesome! Can't wait to run it dozens of times in DF till my brain melts if people aren't joking about grinding.

Now I'm back in the Fringes, about to help snakes. Apparently 4.0 has 120+ MSQ, which feels way longer than what 3.0 had.

On your first character you should be able to dodge dungeon spam merely by doing roulettes reasonably often, MSQ gives a lot of exp and you probably won’t hit a gap until the last level

Dungeon spam is mostly for the next job in line because it’s efficient 61-70 and queues are still decently populated, Kojin quests are good but limited and other stuff is daily

The daily Kojin quests and lvl and allyroo are all you need to get from 61-70 at a decent enough clip without burning yourself out on dungeon spam.

Spamming dungeons should be saved for "I want this job capped ASAP" scenarios.

Apparently it was more because these people linked their twitters with NSFW stuff in their character bios or whatever.

e:
"the issue was not that the users had lewd content on twitter, it was that they were linking it (and worse stuff) in their public search info in game and then putting SE official copyright notice on it."

The thing is that the ToS also asks that anything you share from in game should have that copyright notice on it, so that's a bit of a damned if you do, damned if you don't thing.


Not that they're going to slap you for not having the copyright thing on.

Strictly speaking it's not the "don't kill the atomos" that triggers it, it's the "atomos has its shield up for too long consecutively". Low DPS on a vulnerable atomos won't wipe you, but an invulnerable atomos eventually will - and unfortunately that part's under the control of a different party.

It would be nice if more people grasped that the cue to step off the pad is when the pad stops glowing, not when their own personal atomos dies, but we all have our futile pipe dreams.

It drives me insane that all you need for that to go smoothly is for 4 people to just afk on a pad and yet here come the Iron Giants to wipe everyone. 24 mans are afk heaven. Just do it in the right place!

I've got 3 jobs at 70 and I'm pretty sure I've only done Doma Castle 3 times. Grinding dungeons is really only something I think you have to do for classes that are below 50 and only have access to LDR. And you are in a crazy rush to get that class leveled. And PotD and Squadron runs don't do it for you.

I don't know. I just finished getting everything to 70 last night and I think doing at-level dungeons from 61-69 is the only way that wouldn't have driven me mad. It's a great chunk of xp, it keeps you up to date on your new abilities, and the loot is very nice for seals.

Standing Still (Ultimate) is extremely difficult, actually.
It's just so... unclear. I have to stand on this pad instead of places that aren't this pad? What does that mean? Can I stand on things that aren't the pad? I'm not going to stand on the pad, that's probably correct.

Because of the stances, you don't have to use timers. So basically you throw your combo moves into the macro backwards and it uses the first one that is available to whatever stance you're in

Yes. Odin isn't part of Roulettes except IIRC Mentor Roulettes (because he's effectively an Extreme primal) and there's genuinely no reason to run him but glams and level 70 characters can pretty reasonably solo him unsync'd so there's few people bothering to actually run him legit

If you want to do Odin either get a group of people together or ask a level 70 friend to wreck him for you if you just want the clear.

(Almost) no one fights Odin synced these days. Just make a group in party finder, announce a bonus and run it unsynced. It will take maybe 5 minutes (fight itself under a minute).

I haven't figured out how to do what you guys said in the party finder either, my friend ended up handling that when we tackled Gaius's stuff last night. So that'll take some doing.
