To be clear: This is someone reposting what blufever wrote and tacking some extra bullshit on top.

AFAIK this is all that the guy leaked. Anything beyond that is bullshit.

So yeah BLU with some primal and classic moves. 100% down with that, and we all know that SMN is not getting new egis, so most primal stuff is wasted on them :v:

Also Yoshi-P on the recent connection issues:

Naoki Yoshida posted:

This is Producer and Director Naoki Yoshida.

Currently, there are DDoS attacks taking place on a heretofore unseen scale upon all NA, EU, and JP FFXIV data centres, purposely timed for each region's peak usage hours.
There was a massive disconnection event earlier in NA due to this, and we apologise for the inconvenience caused to our players.

The development and infrastructure teams are working together with the upstream Internet Service Providers of each data center to deploy defensive measures. With help from the providers, we are working around the clock to combat the attacks, and to prevent the occurrence of any full-service shutdown.

While deploying these countermeasures, there is a chance that some players will experience lag or unstable connections due to rerouting of connections. We are sorry for any inconvenience this will cause.

We are doing everything we can to prevent a full-service shutdown, and we ask for your patience and understanding as we continue to do our best to address ongoing issues.

question about square enix accounts and payments:

So I haven't played in maybe 18 months, but I never canceled my auto-payment each month, 14.99. I figured I might come back anytime (and I still haven't) so I never canceled and just ate the 15 bucks because I like wasting money.

But for the past 3 months I haven't been billed, thought it was curious, finally logged into my square enix account and it says my subscription is inactive.

Now I'm glad I'm not wasting 15 bucks a month, but I'm just wondering why Square wouldn't still love my money. Does the subscription really lapse after a set time of inactivity?

new expiration date! you're right, now I remember having to change it for the gym auto-payment.

So in that case, I mean I don't have to pay any fines or anything to Square, right? Because I never officially "canceled", so does that mean I still owe them 45 bucks plus fines? That would be crazy right, I mean it's a loving video game subscription.

Tengu Hakama (PVP)
Thavnairian Babouches (I think there crafted? Market board!)

I regret that its a sam / monk outfit. :smith:

I don't think Minfillia's bad and her return wont really be either a plus or minus for me. She was kind of bland so if she does return, hopefully it will be with some growth.

It's not that she's irritating, more that she has zero personality or character when every other major Scion has a defined, if mostly generic, personality.

That's a combined raid-wide DPS of like 0.4 though, presumably from a couple dozen high level players. I mean, I've played mmos a long drat time and I can understand using much smaller damage scales and super long cooldowns compared to FFXIV or WoW, but still.

Either way it was definitely never an excuse for that full heal to exist as a raid boss mechanic in a slog fight like that.
