If this question has been answered already, I apologise.

I have a friend who has a copy of 2.0 bought via Steam, and he just bought HW with Steam as well. However, neither of the two codes (pre-order and expansion registration) codes are doing anything on any of the sites, and he's tried the lot. Is there some arcane ritual needed to do this or is something wrong?

Thanks.

He put it into Mog Station?

He tried both codes on both the "Enter the Registration Code for the Expansion" and "Enter Pre-Order Code" pages of Mogstation, as well as the dedicated preorder site. No joy.

Bismarck has me in despair. I'm at 4/10 totems and have been for a week of trying every single PF group I can find, because I am evidently the only poor soul on my server who wants an Expanse weapon (I quite like the look of them). :negative:

Is this a fool's errand?

I have like six Hive weapons, including the one for my main. Glamour is precisely the reason I'm suffering through this.

And no, my FC immediately goes dead silent as soon as I ask for help getting a few clears, though as soon as somebody needs a Ravana clear, they suddenly need me.

I like the name. It fits with the whole title of a Minstrel ballad of an event theme like Ultima's Bane did.

I have seen both sides of RNG's wild ride. The ponies dropped relatively easily, with 20 someodd runs being the largest number.

On the other hand, it took upwards of 40 runs of Aurum Vale to cough up the dungeon anima and then 71 runs of Aery to get the Dainslaif, during which time I ended up getting literally every other possible drop from the dungeon. I leveled three jobs from 55 to 60 just repeating Aery. :negative:

Meanwhile I think the ongoing boss rush of Allagan Cane, High Allagan Crook, Bahamut Cane, Gordian Cane, and Cane o' Heavens is the dev team's attempt to indoctrinate WHMs into accepting Piety/Spell Speed as their lord and saviour.

Credit isn't that high, either.

Sometimes. The means by which it decides feels kinda hit or miss.

In my last run of Diadem, we had a Purple Worm show up and we didn't get there until it was probably about 2/3rds dead and laid into it, got credit. Later in the run, we popped a Forgotten Wisent and despite the fact that we were one of two groups there from the very beginning and all of us to a man were wailing on it, we got nothing. It seems to be fairer than say, getting gold on an S rank Hunt though.

If you go to the Diadem as an alliance, do you need multiple airships available? Like 'one airship per party' or something, or do you just need one airship for the lot?

So either you can't fish on Diadem easy mode or the nodes are nigh-impossible to find, because a couple of friends and I queued up just to fish and we spent over half the time limit searching every nook and cranny without success. :negative:

I did an easy yesterday and a guy in my group was catching pterodactyl/marimo on the southwest island with giant crane fly, and I caught some useless fish somewhere else with bladed steel jig.

That's kinda annoying. The three of us ran along the perimeter of every single island in the entire zone without success.

So many dinosaurs. So many.

Brachiosaur keeps trying to thin the herds with Meteors with such zeal that I'm beginning to wonder if all the scientists were wrong and it was actually him who wiped out the dinosaurs.

Maybe he was one of the previous Calamities.

Yeah you don't have to do that but it makes things easier, unlike on the last boss where you pretty much have to pay attention to the adds or you wipe.

Speaking of things you have to pay attention to, Cuchulainn's Corrosive Bile is great fun. I haven't yet done a Void Ark where somebody hasn't complained about how the attack is untelegraphed.

By which I'm guessing they mean "a big pulsing orange damage indicator".

I enjoy Diadem because it affords me the opportunity to punch dinosaurs in the face, catch pterodactyls with a fishing pole, and flee from meteor showers called down by angry sauropods.

I haven't gotten any good Mistbreak gear yet but maybe I will at some point. Or maybe I won't. Oh well.

There've been rumors recently that they'll just drop the normal/savage split and make the next raid tier something like FCoB difficulty.

The way it sounded when it was described to me, the devs are just thinking about making the "Hard" mode easier so that the completion rates for the next set of Savage breaches the realm of integers.

That thread would have been better if they at least mentioned what the changes were to Haurchefant. I guess he was more flirty in the JP version or something? I don't really remember what Haurchefant did in 2.x.

Extremely flamboyant and eccentric are the two words I would use I suppose. He's got a bit of an obsession with the WoL in attributes not strictly limited to "saving the world".

For my part, while I think it's a shame that the English players missed out on the hilariously flamboyant Haurchefant, I was more bothered by the fact that the localisation teams took it upon themselves to completely rewrite a character and the guy in charge of the game had to find out well after-the-fact from fans asking him about it.

right now it's completely 100% not worth it, you're looking at over a month's time investment dedicated solely to the relic weapon and millions of gil for the crafted stuff for a weapon that's 1 wd better than a loving thordan ex wep

If enough Japanese players complained, I could see them tripping over themselves to move the decimal points.

The real question is whether this is too much even for them, but I suspect not.
