Apparently this is a recurring error and there is no fix for it, tried deleting the patch files, tried using a VPN, tried restarting all of my network equipment. :rip:

I keep getting this too. Left it overnight to download and it maybe got a gigabyte before erroring out. Left it this morning and it said 520 minutes to go. Which means it'll be finished downloading right about the time I get home assuming no errors.

Honestly I think it's more that I'm not used to doing such low damage after being omni-50 for so long, it's kinda killing the hype buzz. :v:

Honestly, working on my BRD, not doing much damage seems to be the norm. I know we've overpowered everything for a while, but it feels like stuff takes even longer to die than it should.

Just saw my first vote abandon trying to do The Chryalis. There seemed to be a few people in there who understood the fight but wouldn't explain it to anyone and just got really mad at all of us new players.

I still don't understand how the following aspects of that fight work, and I'm looking at guides and everything:

- What's up with the giant AOE of death after the first orbs phase? Not the one that you make hurt less with the orbs, but the big one with the blue lightning-ish effects that he does a few different times. Do tanks need to interrupt that or something?
- Why don't some orbs pop?
- Are DPS's supposed to get the adds during orbs phase, or let off-tank kite them?
- What's up with the meteors in the portal phase? Is only one person supposed to stand under them, or no one, or what?

-AoE of death is based on how many orbs reach him. You (everyone) should pop alternating colors before they reach him.
-Probably lag.
-Those die quick enough that people should be able to kill them while popping orbs
-Tanks should stand under the meteors, the tear needs to die asap.

You can do hunts (your daily+weekly hunt) for an i180 weapon, and buy i145 vendor gear from a NPC in Azys Lla. That'll get you into some of the early 60 dungeons, where you can start earning esoterics to pad out you item level with cheap i200 accessories. Then run void ark for i200 left side pieces when you can.

I'm at 165 from before, so I guess time to figure out the Void Ark. Thanks!

I like BRD less at 60 than I did at 50 precisely because of this. Same with PLD too, I like the brain-dead rotation; lets me focus on the other aspects of the fight.

That said, my first 60 was still BRD.

So what's the most efficient way to spend my time grinding for my relic to avoid time gates as much as possible? I'm doing the CT quest line every week to hopefully get oils ASAP, the second step with all the unidentified poo poo seems like it's the longest one.

As someone doing the same right now, the unidentified step takes a ton of lore/poetics and the step after aether Oils also takes a ton of lore.

Personally, I need 7 more unidentified ore and I'm finished with that step. So I'm buying those with poetics, buying umbrite with lore and doing the CT weekly for aether oils. I'm not going to progress past the oils for 4 more weeks, but when I do I'll be a decent way into the umbrite process.

The Grimace posted:

Banri Oda, the primary scriptwriter, is a big fan of Yasumi Matsuno of Ivalice fame and has worked with him in the past. Naming the Ascians after the Scions of Light is essentially just an homage. That said, at various times when Ascians cast things, they bring up glyphs. Fans have found that these glyphs coincide with choice parts of the glyphs representing their opposing Espers in Final Fantasy XII, which is a nice little touch.

Spoilers on Elidibus and Ascians: Lahabrea was apparently a normal person before he became an Ascian and was originally from the First Shard, or whatever you'd call our Hydaelyn. It's hard to say how an Ascian is "created," but Lahabrea is one specific circumstance where he lost his humanity and was surrendered to the world betwixt for whatever reason. As for Elidibus, his ultimate goal is to see things through to the best case scenario for when Zodiark is revived. Igeyohrm hosed up the thirteenth shard by causing the Flood of Darkness and so he wants to prevent anymore floods from happening because that would mean less power to be provided for the Rejoining, the recovery of Zodiark. Lots of speculation abound on how this all coincides, but with each world being referred to as a "shard," I assume it's a Final Fantasy V-like scenario where all worlds must converge to re-attain a true form. Hydaelyn separated into shards for a reason, and the 'why' is the big question right now. Elidibus wants to maintain an aura of strife without having one side particularly stronger than the other so his god can have ample supply when he returns- he never helps out of the goodness in his heart or anything, and so once he figures out how to bring back Zodiark I imagine his feigned diplomacy will be a thing of the past.

Where did you find all of this? Is it in game or a supplement?

While we're on the topic, are there official ages for the Scions in the lorebook or something? I can find their ages in wikis and stuff, but I don't know the source. Some people have told me that Thancred is ageless due to some weak sounding evidence in 1.0. The conversation the gang has when they meet Matoya seemed to imply that Y'shtola was over 30 to me, but online everyone says she's in her 20s or something. Is there anything official on this nonsense?

Its an anime, no one is over 21. The really old people are 28.

Yeah, I imagine other classes have it worse but BLM gets real weird in certain level brackets. Aren't they doing some sort of skill revamp with Stormblood that's supposed reduce the number of skills some jobs have? I would have to imagine there's going to be some adjustments to when classes get skills.

Coming from WoW it's so weird to be two months away from the expansion and know so little.

E: I pre-ordered Stormblood - does this get me early access? I also plugged in the pre-order code into my account, but didn't get any in game mail for the goodies -- do those come later?

The pre-order code will get you early access and the goodies don't show up until the expansion is released.

Having the crafting classes leveled is nice because you can keep a stack of dark matter on you and repair when and where you need to. You've got time before stormblood to get them to wherever you want. Do your GC turn in daily (especially if its starred) and the ixal/moogle quests pre-/post-50. You'll get there.

We're at a point in the cycle where crafting isn't "useful" until SB gets here anyway.

You have to upgrade to the 8/world plan, but yes. It will ask if you want to resume automatic payments after the 60 days. I turned them off so I can change back.
