The "queue" is a joke and you simply can cancel it out and re-enter the world and it will just let you skip to the front half the time.

Thank you, crashed materia market, my Ragnraok is now ready for 3.1



It took me 7 loving Savage Might IVs to get the last one to stick, at 50% chance :argh: At least they all cost less than 50k each.

So I've been playing this for two days now, just hit lvl 18. I had a few questions.

1. Are there any sidequest lines it would behoove me to get started on now that I will regret not doing later? I started as a Conjurer, if it matters. I just completed the emissary quest and visited the other 2 capitals.


dont waste your time on "le epig meme hildibrand" until you get to 60.

Is it just me or are dps queue times for HLDR utterly hosed? 30-45+ minutes this week, even with in-queue selected. Average wait to 5-8 minutes too, you dicks.

HLDR sucks dick cause it gives no xp from kills.

You can no longer get platinum packs from playing against NPCs in the TT Tournament, apparently. Not enough points.

Literally what is the point of the TT tournament now. They nerfed it for the people who only play NPCs get jack poo poo while the same people who win every time are still winning.

I finished leveling my BLM to 60 and now sit in DPS queues instead of using my DRK for instant queues because of how terrible DPS has been in general in the 60 dungeons.

And I play soccer spirits on my phone while waiting :colbert:

The "good" Alex gear will probably be drops in Savage anyways or a pure token for one piece. Normal mode seems to just give casual players a goal each week to get the token they want. It's as if SE wants people to keep playing the game for a long period of time.....

They named them Paladins because Japan literally thinks Americans are idiots and would wonder why a Knight could cast healing spells.

Wow. :magical:


... Surely the American localization team would have made that choice? :raise: Admittedly I'm pretty ignorant regarding Final Fantasy's roots and how it was translated originally.

I doubt the FF14 team had anything to do with calling them Paladins since there was no way they would call them Knight since FFXI called them Paladins.

The FFXI localization team thought Americans wouldn't like a "Holy Warrior" being called a simple Knight.

From what I remember, the Lightning event happened when Lightning Returns came out in Japan and North America, then again as part of the anniversary celebration. It might come back again next month with the Shantotto and Dragon Quest events.

If they ran the event again, I wonder if there'll be new weapons for NIN/DRK/AST/MCH.

you just posted the reason why it will never come back.

Christ, why would Square do that? I kind of interpreted it as a weird way of wording that you couldn't activate the codes in Steam itself, but that's kind of an insane way of dealing with things.

e: I imagine that I could yell at customer support a bunch to get the key exchanged for one that'd work on my account but I get the feeling that Square-Enix customer support isn't great to deal with.

I'm pretty sure they will not exchange a code for a steam one. I have never heard of it happening.

So I just finished the 2.0 story by getting dragged through the Praetorium. Now there's a whole bunch of content and I'm not sure where to start. Should I just continue with the story quests? Any important things to unlock? Should I even bother with lvl50 dungeons? There's so much to do!

Just do the story quests and be sure not to waste time on the meme Hildibrand quests that goons will try to make you waste your time on.

Frankly, I don't think they will put Echo into Alex Savage. Why would they? Echo was there because there was actual plot and cutscenes of merit in Coil, so that people who couldn't put in Raid-level hours or weren't at Raid-level skill could at least see the content. Maybe pick up gear for glamours. Later they added some materials for desynth or crafting in the older content.

There is nothing in that paragraph which is not already covered or could be covered by Alex Normal. You don't need to make Alex Savage Easy Mode because that already exists.

They can call it Y'shtola's blessing or something if you are such a lore nerd.

They will always nerf outdated content just so people can experience it. Why waste it on the top 5% of players once its been outdated? Just slap echo and nerf some abilities and call it a day.

The queue implementation is really dumb: it basically polls the server every 10 seconds or so to see if you're at the front of the queue. So if the queue is like five people and you'd be let in almost instantly, you can just cancel out and try again without losing your place in queue (for some reason) and thereby getting in faster than waiting for it to check again.

You can do that at any queue number :ssh:
