Does anyone know when server transfers go online once severs open? Wanna get my butt to Omega when I can.
the World Transfer Service is scheduled to be available again on Jun. 16, 2017 at around 12:00 (GMT) / Jun 16, 2017 at around 13:00 (BST).

Never be afraid of wasting a pomandor because 90% of people don't use them and they just sit there
I was once scolded for using pomanders of strength, although party was still sitting at 3 of those and no one bothered to use them. But generally, no one cares.

So how's Omega now that launch congestion issues should mostly be behind us? I considered transferring back then but wanted to wait and see how many goons actually do the jump over there. How many people are there in Please Calm Down?
More than a hundred and they're mostly active.

Oh for sure, and I'm not trying to defend the ridiculous post either :v: I just think it's weird how incredibly hostile people get when someone wishes an MMO was more solo friendly. Just because it's A MULTIPLAYER GAME ARGH doesn't mean it can't be fun to play solo, so why treat it as such an alien idea? It's not like the game would be ruined for everyone else if weirdos could play it alone.
Guy has leveled only PLD and still complains about queues. He is probably more concerned about trolling the forums than playing the game he apparently hates. I would include more MSQ dungeons and trials for people like him.

Othard is supposedly bustling but the only zone with any real activity going on is Azim Steppe (and not coincidentally that's the region that's the most popular with players). Gyr Abania is desolate until you get to Ala Mhigo and even then the Lochs are mostly empty
I was under impression that both those zones were supposed to be basically gulags with Doma being recently razed to the ground.

For levels 50-60, is it faster to level tanks via dungeon spamming or via PotD? Because I really do not like majority of the HW leveling dungeons.
As a tank, you shouldn't have a need to run PotD and you can throw in some Frontlines, it was nerfed, but I think it still gives decent experience and the queues are usually short.

I'd be down with Niddhogg's agenda if he just straight up exterminated the proto-ishgardians right out the gate instead of just doing some protracted torture session, to the point it just shatters his mind and his incapable of even the basest of logic or reason
His mind is broken because he is reliving memory of his sister's murder all the time forever, not because of his torture of Ishgardians, I believe. And that is why he wants them to suffer forever. Hraesvelgr is semi-normal only because Shiva is containing his anger.

Was there actually more evidence of the moon poo poo other than the one stinger? Obviously it's better storytelling if that stinger suddenly randomly being on the loving moon is actually relevant but on the other hand it could've just as well been just a suitably ominous spot to meet a dude who can't come into the special cosmojizz realm all the assians hang out in.
It's literally stated by Hydaelyn that Zodiark was banished and became a moon in Word of the Mother MSQ cutscene

Which has the more interesting Job Quests, Summoner or Scholar? Or is either boring?
SCH were cuter and more intetesting imho. But you should probably do both, because why not, it's free job.

Of course, the newest pvp mode manages to be worse than Shatter. Not only that, it doesn't even have the decency to classify itself as a Frontline so I can't even use the place to farm kills for my Hand of Mercy title. And after finally making a map that makes it easy for healers to get kills!
Somehow, Rival Wings made me appreciate Shatter more. Sure, there are only people zerging from one ice to another, but at least they are aware of the goals (generally) and Shatter is less toxic. It seems that Rival Wings attracted the usual toxic types from mobas (and feast, I guess?). Also, I like those allagan balls more than the robogorilla.

How do you keep the NPCs alive as a Scholar during the quests? I'm always healing them, but it never feels like I can keep them up before whatever they're fighting murders them.

I cleared the Level 70 quest after two tries, but the NPCs always end up with low HP by the end.
If I remember those quests correctly, several of them expect you to clear NPCs from some poisons or other detrimental effects, healing them was not that important.

Anyone play on wi-fi? I've got a friend who's interested in the game, but they're worried their wi-fi won't be up to the task.
I think someone mentioned it in this thread earlier, but after you install everything, FFXIV is sending/downloading very little data.

Also, he can just try the trial version for 14 days and see for him/herself.
