Nope, sorry if you restored something 8 years ago we'll never do it again! (they probably will but they're not encouraging you)

I always thought that rule was funny and dumb, especially after a certain other, even older MMO introduced an automated item restoration tool for literally anything a year before ARR even came out :allears:

Like many things in this game, I'm assuming it's a consequence of how their database architecture is set up. My guess would be that GMs don't get an explicitly itemized log of inventory changes that they can look up (or, possibly, they do, but it's a pain in the rear end to search through), so restoration requests are taken on good faith but strictly limited in order to prevent people from exploiting it.

One of the few things I miss from WoW is the grace period where you can get a full refund on token gear in the event of an accidental purchase.

Now I genuinely wonder what happens if you tell a GM you lost something you didn't.

I know that, at the very least, they can't restore anything older than a month. From personal experience.

Same. At some point i somehow deleted my boots from the Yuna outfit from a fanfest, and couldn't get them back because I didn't know when I had deleted them.

I POSTED WHAT NOW!?
I reported someone for the first time today. I was doing some PvP and we had a match that went for a bit. We got caved in initially and made a pushback but lost. I had most damage and died the least but dude after the game sent me direct message saying it was entirely my fault we lost the game. I didn’t use Phoenix and I hadn’t used shield on any of the other party members. Well, the map is hard to target others (the bomb one) and I did mess up a Megaflare placement but we never were really co-ordinated for a full pushback for Phoenix to be useful.

The funny thing is. After a couple more games, I got him on the opposite team as Summoner. Beat his team twice in a row. Guess I really am the reason why his team lost. :black101:

I stopped queueing on Volcano as Summoner because it's so frustrating. Maybe you get a good Bind, maybe you can drop Baha on a corner and hit the enemy team... but most of the time you're running around corners and down long hallways and getting stomped.

I came across something else from Twitter. Someone did a Cameo request for the EN VA for Zenos, asking him about how he got the role and what inspired him:


He's been doing heaps of them. He does them so well, just really goes for it and will say whatever crazy thing you give him eg dril tweets

https://twitter.com/ohgoditsranor/status/1536452316068446209

and this https://twitter.com/bungoborg/status/1536780668377653248

Like yeah, he's being paid... but I've heard some very, very phoned in Cameos. He definitely does not phone it in.

He makes me want more Zenos! Or at least more Sicard, given he's Sicard as well.

I think the players would riot after how they handled Zenos in EW if they brought him back for anything other than maybe Echo flashbacks. Sicard would be cool though.

Sicard does get presence in Tataru's new story, so he's probably gonna continue to be relevant.

I was listening to stormblood cutscenes in the background while working on something a while back, and was super confused about why Zenos was talking about sailing and poo poo, and just couldn't remember him ever being on a boat (it was actually Carvallain)

You are not one of us.
I can get being ambivalent about Sicard. We've had very little direct cooperation with him. He's either been a minor antagonist or working on objectives to support us from the sidelines. We haven't had much chance to actually work together so we can get really interested in him.

Personally I don't feel much of anything about him. If he's going to stick around, I hope he develops enough to justify giving us him instead of Rhoswen or Carvallain. Giving us more moments of Emmanellain and Sicard bouncing off each other would be nice, especially if we get to see it develop into a real friendship.

Now I kind of want a (fully voiced) side story where Zenos takes up fishing, and the Nepto Dragon is his white whale. Just go full Moby Dick with it.

Emmanellain had character growth and then they just apparently forgot about that?

I don't know. That kind of annoyed me.

Ha yeah, Luke Allen-Gale also voiced Carvallain. So 3x voices. Actually four, he also voiced Grithil (ShB). I don't care who, just keep giving him work

And there are so many other Ishgardians who should get camera time before Emmanalein, some of whom even live in the same house as him.
