They've been saying since they announced the new housing district that it'd be a few weeks before you can actually buy a plot.

They want people to enjoy the story instead of rushing through the game ASAP to get to Shirogane and buy their house.

So take your time. Sleep in! The housing rush will come for you at a later date.

I started the patch download on my PS4 this morning and then put my PS4 on standby. Now as I return, it says it was unable to download patch files [2015] and some other one. Now it's started over at 0. Is anyone else having any issues or what? I know downloading the original client had an issue or two, but it never completely started over.

Is the catgirl website active like this thread? Because we only have the one thread on SA and it's impossible for everyone to get along here. I'm sad that SA isn't a good place to talk about my favorite game.

I want a safe space where I can discuss the upcoming changes without spoilers or dumb spoiler drama, and I really don't want that space to be reddit. Also I'm on Hyperion so idk if the catgirl website is Excalibur only.

It's a lot more active than ffgoons, which isn't really saying much. But it can be even more active if more people post there! And yes having a dedicated message board where multiple threads for a variety of topics is so much better than just a single, linear thread.

Is there any reason to be melee dps in pvp anymore?

Because bards and machinists might just be plain lousy in pvp? Haven't seen the new skills yet but if we're just going to post wild speculation then bards/mch are now missing about 3 dps cooldowns and also aren't getting the 30% increased damage of wanderers minuet anymore so their burst capacity isn't looking so great. Gotta see actual ability numbers first though to make any real judgements. And also pvp is going to be really god drat weird.

So how does the 100% armory bonus effect doing dungeons instead of pod for leveling? IIRC it felt like 6ish dungeons to do a level, will this cut it down to 4? I mean don't get me wrong I loooooove potd but maybe I'll go ahead and do the 51-60 dungeons instead.

I'd use a mix of both, going back and forth as you get bored of them.

Also the daily dungeon bonus is significant, so ideal is probably one dungeon per day + POTD at the least.

Yeah you know what, I'm sorry about my tone, but I still feel the initial passive aggressive response by Fister was really dumb. There were no spoilers in any of the stuff posted. There were a handful of armor sets and minions and lyrics to a background song which had nothing to do with really any plot point or even anything beyond the boss's demeanor.

I won't put stuff in line anymore, but there's nothing that's been spoiled by anything posted yet and telling people to go to some other site to talk about them was an overreaction to the nothing that's been posted.

Unpopular opinion: I greatly prefer leveling in dungeons. The environments are just so much lovelier and varied in dungeons (barring a few crappy ones), and on the rare occasions I turn my sound on, the music is nice, too. I think I just feel cramped in POTD, although it does have fun mechanics.

I like leveling in dungeons but that's going to be impossible for the next few days for DPS jobs I imagine (or at least/especially 50-60 RDMs/SAMs). So it's either PotD or see if the FATE changes make it worthwhile again. See if I can sneak in a leveling/50 roulette or two.

Patch notes say that all the fate changes are in 4.0 areas so they likely aren't of any value to leveling sam's and rdm's, at least in the initial grind to 60.

Fey Glow: Increases spell speed of self and nearby party members by 30% for 30s, 60s cooldown.
Fey Light: Increases skill speed of self and nearby party members by 30% for 30s, 60s cooldown.

They can't be used at the same time, but they don't share a cooldown on the tooltip.

Fey Caress and Wind are there too, and they look unchanged.

I don't think that opinion is unpopular at all. People do the 51-60 PotD grind because you don't need to wait 10-20 minutes between runs if you aren't a tank, not because they love standing around in Quarrymill.

PotD is fun from 150+ but earlier than that it's just a snoozefest that occasionally gets you zero exp if things go massively wrong.
