It took me 8+ months but I finally met a fellow player who visited and complimented me on my house :shobon:

I was surprised since 99% of the time I don't see anyone in the district during the day or night when I'm online often.

Some of us love doing "housing tours" of wards on our server and traveling around to see specific builds on other servers. It's quite interesting to see what people come up with sometimes!

Please don't be some weirdo who advertises their venue here.

Do the right thing, and rent a billboard for it.

Good luck to the goons going for it!

That would be Fey Dalton on the community staff! Thank you for the feedback. :)

Hope some goons come by this weekend; this is as good a time as any to try Rival Wings out! We also will be the place to visit if you want to know which DCs are popping Rival Wings matches during the upcoming Moogletomes event, when RW matches should be popping daily for at least 12-13 hours straight. For anyone who's new to PvP, there are two exclusive mounts for 100 wins, which are the white and black Winston-from-Overwatch mounts.

I personally host and facilitate starting/advertising the Monday events on Crystal.

I liked island sanctuary when I had room to get more animals. But then they added more animals without adding more space, and I didn't want to release the ones I had, so I kind of lost interest in that aspect. I don't really care about collecting all the rare ones, I just like having big groups of goats and such.

Normally I would enjoy trying to optimize systems like the workshop on my own, but the way the information is presented is kind of terrible. Sure I could instead select whatever random stuff I want and it'll work, but that's not fun or interesting to me. At that point it's just mindless clicking for the sake of clicking.

The gameplay that it has wore out its welcome well before I got the rewards. I love the mounts and outfits, and the cutscenes especially, but getting there is a chore rather than something I'm excited to do and that is kind of a shame.

Yeah even if it didn't compete with "optimal" pastures, I'm not going to release my sheep friends etc. to make room for new animals that are mostly annoying me by taking 10-20 nets and several spawn cycles to catch in the first place.

One of the things a lot of the 4th workshop ranters don't quite seem to realize is that while, yes, the 3 -> 4 workshop change means you consume 33% more stuff, the 3 -> 4 granary tier upgrade does mean your granaries now produce 33% more stuff. That still means more time spent swimming around and clicking on seaweed if you follow overseas casuals' weekly bot recommendations since the net laver deficit also increased by 33%, but they did in fact increase the passive generation to the same relative degree that they did consumption.
I don't know. If :actually: they also earn 33% more island stones but also that doesn't address the fact that in absolute numbers they're going to be farming even more laver and sap etc., that's probably not a useful retort to their complaints.

I'm downloading the free trial and going in completely blind just for my own enjoyment's sake - aside from asking which job has the potential for obtaining the most ridiculously chunky weapons and armour within the scope of the trial? Or can everyone make their armour/weapon look like anything?

You can't glamour anything, you're limited to stuff you can equip unfortunately, which still has a pretty large size of styles. They will have a similar broad style, like casters getting few armored plate looks, but there's still an option or two that go against the grain.

Counting up to Stormblood, since that's getting added to the trial in a couple months, your best bet will be Marauder/Warrior to start with, and then Dark Knight once you reach Heavensward. Being tanks they have some real beefy armor available, and their weapons are both big two-handers, axes for the first and swords for the second.

Glamor options are free enough that you're not too confined by that, but the biggest and chunkiest weapons in the trial belong to tanks: Marauder/Warrior (which you can start as) gets two-handed axes, and Dark Knight (which you get later) gets two-handed swords. In terms of DPS, the beefiest weapon is probably for Lancer/Dragoon, who get spears.

You can get every single job on a single character, though, so don't feel like you can overcommit here. If you don't like what you picked, you can use something else real easily.

I think Reaper (and Sage, Dancer and Gunbreaker) are entirely unavailable to trial players since you need to have bought those expansions. Red Mage and Samurai should be coming soon, though, when Stormblood gets added.



Just thought of something else. It's (also) not part of the trial* but if you do ever decide to buy the game, keep an eye on the PvP rewards. Going by past examples there can be some chunky armor there that can be glamored into any Job as long as you're a paying subscriber and PvP enough during that patch**.

(As mentioned, these were available during a previous patch and are no longer available, but they're the two armor sets they've had so far, and serve as examples. There are a bunch of PvP sets that aren't limited by time, too.)



* Come on, CBU3, let free trial players PvP. You could have a fairly popular team game to draw people in with Crystalline Conflict, and then potentially entice them into buying if they get hooked on the story out of curiosity. It could be so good! Add the pre-generated text stuff to Frontlines/Rival Wings and limit trial players to only that if you're worried about toxic players, though things are moderated well enough as shown by PvE so I don't think it'd be that necessary.

** Also, stop doing FOMO stuff and let us buy the previous rewards. Even if there has to be a bit of lag between and/or it's a bit spendy.

I mean sure but let's be honest, if someone hits 70 they're probably going to buy in.

I think archer/bard bows top spears in terms of visual real estate since the spears are mostly a stick, depends on your tastes.
