In order to facilitate a smoother in-game experience for our many current players, as well as prepare for the increase in activity expected to come with the release of Shadowbringers, we have made the decision to expand our server infrastructure. Accordingly, one new data center for North American players, and one for European players, will be created in April.

With the addition of new data centers, however, it will be necessary to redistribute various World servers. The current state of each World’s community and its primary language have been taken into consideration, but we understand that the redistribution may cause difficulties for players nevertheless.

We will be taking various steps to minimize the impact of these changes, including offering free World transfers for all characters on the North American and European Data Centers for a period of approximately two weeks after implementation. We ask for your understanding as we work to create a better experience for all players in the days to come.

North American Servers
New Data Center:
Crystal

Date of Implementation:
Tuesday, April 23, 2019
* The schedule for maintenance accompanying this implementation will be announced at a later date.

ugh, only 7 weeks notice? time to find a new mmo

All the data centers are going offline from 6pm to 3am for a patch. The n/a data centers are off from 3am to 3am for the migration and patch.

Yeah, I got the 3am to 3am message in-game as well, which got a :stare: out of me because it was already past 3am for me. What time zone is their announcement time anchored to?

the MOTD that pops up in the launcher when you try to log in displays the "All Worlds Maintenance" at the top, which gives the 6pm start time for EU servers. i didn't notice until now that it scrolls down further and gives the full maintenance time for NA.

i didn't know there was 24 hour maintenance for NA until the tweet yesterday about the end of Hatching-Tide. :shrug:


edit: also i don't read the MOTD in game apparently

Yeah your CPU seems alright if a little long in the tooth but the GPU is old as hell and could definitely use an upgrade. Assuming you're talking USD you could easily get an RX 570 or GTX 1050 Ti in the 150-200 range or if you find a good deal that could be bumped up to an RX 580 or GTX 1060.

Found an RX 570 for under $150 so thanks for the recommendations :yayclod:

My guess is that's just an active sub, so he'll probably get a day, too? It's probably not worth trying to penny pinch there, especially since they'd want to make a good impression.

poe meater posted:

Correct, although the things that say what your job is are your weapon and jobstone. If you have an axe equipped and try to put on a healer robe, it just won't let you, but if you equip a new weapon, even with full gear you will become that class, and any gear not compatible with that class will be unequipped.

Yes and no.

You need to unlock the jobs at city-states and the ARR jobs (everything but Red Mage, Samurai, Dark Knight, Astrologian and Mechanist) will require you to get to level 30 for their Job Stone which upgrades them to the real class. However you can have every class in the game on one character once they're unlocked.

Well, close enough that it doesn't matter. Each of the three main cities has its own level 1-15 main story quest and one low level sidequest series of which your character can only ever see one, but if you really want to see the others all it takes is to make two alts and a couple hours worth of leveling.

Datacenters bum me the gently caress out.

I have my house and am established here on Excalibur, but I have a big group of friends that are playing on Gilgamesh on Aether. I leveled another character to play with them sometimes but my excitement to play with them has been completely sapped by not wanting to maintain progression on two characters at once.

its just faster to get the airship unlocked from the main story quests then to restart on a different alt. Seeing your going to have to do them sooner or later anyway.

I've been a level 70 crafter for like 4 weeks and have made like 25m gil casually selling weapons over that time. It's not holy poo poo money but it's still pretty good.

Question because I’ve been leveling my crafters recently as well with the hopes of getting a house eventually (I’m on Excalibur so probably never), but how expensive was it to get gear that could reasonably craft the stuff you’re selling?

Someone several pages back was asking about healer UI setups, and I meant to go back and reply to it. Here's mine:



I'm planning on cleaning up my bars to be more compact, but this is the general layout that I've found works best for me. I have the party bar closer to the center so that it's both easier to access with mouse clicks (less travel time) and easier to glance at both party information and target/personal information. The party bar is within visual range of my target, my target's effects, and my own effects, and is just around eye level for the top bar of my UI, where most of my longer cooldown actions are. I keep my job gauge closer to the top and have hotbars set up around it to serve as cooldown indicators for more important skills. I also make use of ACT timers for certain things, which don't show up on the screenshot, but you can do perfectly fine just using a setup like this.

Preliminary patch notes are up.

Adding gear set bonuses to the old FFX outfits is an interesting choice. I can't imagine that there was a lot of demand for adding stats to them. Maybe this is a sign that they are going to add them to the mogstation?
