Haven't been convinced I should move off my dragoon main so that's the plan. I haven't played it since last year. Been leveling my white mage and dark knight since I resubbed a week ago. Figured no point relearning all the dragoon combos when they're changing somewhat anyway.

DRG isn't changing much. It's still gonna be Combo 1 > Combo 2 > Combo 1 > Combo 2 > etc. with weaving in between. They just removed a buff skill you use between each combo rotation.

So ready for 5.0, nice job on the OT. First thing I need to do when I get in will be rearranging my hotbars for MCH and RDM. After watching more vids of the MCH changes, I just gotta level that first with some RDM on the side.

I am still so bummed what they did to scholar. I want everyone's thoughts and prayers on their balance patch in a few weeks pls. We need to channel that energy.

On the other hand, I have never been more excited to level new jobs than this. I have switch back and forth between leveling smn or BLM first at least half a dozen times. They both look streamlined as fuck it's exciting.

But the return of DRK is what has me most excited. I will worry about being raid ready as a healer after I'm done going msq with DRK. It just feels right.

I pity those dancers trying to get to 70 before msq. I did that as DRK back in 3.0 when it was 20 freaking levels and it is an absolutely draining demoralizing way to start and expansion that I do not recommend

This is the glamour I'm planning to use.

I'm not really satisfied with the boots. None of the purple dyes quite match the cape. I want a little color on them, but I may end up dying them black.

And make your new character in the benchmark first, so you don't spend a hour in character creator.

I forget, if you've saved a character in the benchmark, do you need to move that character data somewhere or do the benchmark and game automatically share that directory without you having to do anything?

So I just bought my copy on PSN (digital PS4 version) and I forget how to redeem it. Does Sony have to send me a code or anything? I completely forget how this works.

You just boot it up (after any downloads it might have) and the game prompts you to login so it can tie the game license to your mogstation account.

When does the SE store open up the digital codes for the full game? I'm assuming sometime before Tuesday? I already have EA unlocked.

What's this Trust System? Does this mean I can finally level my Tank classes without being worried about other people noticing how shit I am at them? I'm trying to level Dark Knight so I can be thematically appropriate for the expansion.

Great OT. Jumped back in today. Stopped playing a little after seeing Stormbloods credits. The post game is huge. Balancing this and Mario Maker 2 and destiny is going to be a challenge!!

The Trust system lets you bring along AI-controlled party members and do dungeons and trials. I'm not sure how it works or if you can use them on EVERY duty, but it's designed to let people try events without a full player party at least. I imagine it's harder, though.

its only 70+ content. also did they say it works on trails since they normally require 8 people?

Fairly certain at first it's only for the 71-80 content/duties. I think they said they might look into expanding it downwards through older content someday.

There literally aren't 7 Trust characters yet so I'm guessing no.

Can't wait to jump in. I'm saying goodbye to my beautiful Elf but I will always remember her through the character creation saves. It's time to go VIERA

Man I'm so behind despite playing for years. I finally caught up with SB right before...ShB? I guess is the abbreviation? I just found out what Squadrons are and stuff today haha. Been mostly dungeons and MSQ the whole time. It'll be nice to delve into some of these other game modes soon.

Yo that thread title is amazing. One of the best.

Time to do what I've done every expansion and level with one of the new classes. Going to run HoH all day Friday to level dancer. Yaaaaaaaay.

On Tuesday, probably some time early in the morning.
Your EA code gives you access until 7/5 (exactly one week after EA begins), meaning there's a 3 day grace period to put in your code for the full game.
Something to note: if you bought the CE, you get the bonuses when you put in the full game code, not during EA.

The wait between level 60 and 61 for HoH is such a pain. I hate that you have to be level 61 to get into HoH -___-

If you prepare the challenge log, it'll be one leveling roulette basically(you get 35% xp from the 3 log entries for dungeons and should be able to get 65% from the roulette itself with armory bonus). Main concern is wether it pops or not though, but should eventually. After that it's HoH to the top, unless I feel bored and want to do random dungeons on the way.

Still not sure what to level first. On the one hand I've already committed to being an AST for a static, on the other AST changes are shitty and I kinda wanna tank again.
