Surprisingly, for some it won't be. The NA members of our FC only had their ping go up by 20, or not at all.

There are plenty of us who are 100% transferring to a new goon FC on Omega. It's literally pick a name > wait for transfer > get poo poo set up on Omega.

You can basically assume that a goon in this thread looking to move to an EU server is an EU goon. I know there is a sizable chunk of the goon fcs that are from outside NA.

I'm still.....undecided. The improved ping would be great and the free server transfer is stupid good, plus i don't have much housing stuff to transfer. The main thing keeping me on Excal right now are the awesome goon friends i've made. :unsmith:

If you want to still chat with Excal friends, there's Discord and rolling a new alt on Excal or Omega.

On that note: FINAL NAMING BATTLE

Whichever wins this is what we should go with.

Being able to play at the same time as your comrades without an alarm clock sounds great for camaraderie.

I work 40 hours a week so I actually play more with the NA players than just the EU players.

I mostly play on Excal on weekends so I can catch up with US based goons then. Also it's not like EU primetime is devoid of players as there are some Australians as well as the europeeps around.

Reminder for anyone trying to get trough HW mainstory and has yet to meet ilvl requirements for last dungeon; you can bypass any ilvl and composition restrictions by queuing as a full premade, so either find 3 friends or recruit 3 random people trough shout and/or patryfinder and enjoy being ready in time for SB!

I forget, are the HW instances going to be able to run unsynched once SB is available, or is that not for a little while?

This may change for HW content once Stormblood releases. Currently you can run all ARR content unsynched.

edit:
Unless high enough ilvl is still required for unsynched content because uhhhh I haven't tried to bypass ilvls

No they didn't. We took a friend's alt through every HW dungeon at sub i180 because we had 4 people. It even says so on the DF window down near role/ilevel restrictions.

You cannot run HW content with "Undersized Party" as an option, but you can absolutely queue for any content in the game regardless of ilevel with a full group.

We have folks in place to transfer off to Omega ASAP and get the FC set up on (hopefully) Friday. Looking like it'll be "please calm down" but keep voting!
