Was just wondering if we had a cross-world linkshell for people on EU data centers.
I'm on Cerberus, name Chacharya Cocorya.
No, because SE doesn't want people to harass bad DPS. It's dumb because everything on this game is just a DPS race so seeing numbers is kinda important. So we have this awkward in between situation where SE won't go after you for using ACT, but it's technically against the TOS so they'll ban you for harassing bad players if they report you. It's so dumb of a setup because PS4 players just get fucked by it.
Their bandaid fix was the SSS dummies but they aren't very helpful beyond getting a baseline on if you suck ass or not.
I believe it was just an offhand comment in a stream that it was something they would like to to if they found the time, so obviously some people took that to mean it's coming in 5.1.
How long did it take to do the extra 100 quests at level 50? That's the most intimidating part for me.
Now you can watch the cinematic Heavensward trailer to get yourself hyped up!
Has there been any talk about starting another Era FC? Seems like there are lots of people who would be interesting in joining... but no way to get on Ultros.
You got through the worst of it so if you're enjoying it now, it should be smooth sailing.
Well I came back a few weeks ago at level 47, I was playing with mates so wasn't playing all the time by any means. Had a great time so it is worth doing.
Also, watched the cinematic, suitably hyped!

Are you SURE you're finished with A Realm Reborn? A lot of people think they are when they get to the end of 2.0, but then they still have 2.1-2.5 to go through.
Definitely, a few weeks ago I had a look at the list of quests. Also I got credits, I got a Heavensward title screen and am in a new area.
I played up until the OG ARR's ending in 2016 & resumed playing on July 2nd this year and was done with the pre-HW 2.xx MSQs yesterday. I did not play everyday and even on some of the days I did play I only played for a little over an hour or so (often going from one Primal fight and stopping right before another in one day), though yesterday I played for, like, 7-8 hours as I found myself unable to stop until I had finished 2.xx pre-HW stuff :D. That included very minimal side-questing. I was mostly just rushing to the next quest marker, while doing some FATE-fighting & daily duties with a friend & his fiancé as well.
Yup, ez pz! FATEs have never been better, too, if you're looking for something to fill with that isn't sidequests.Just got 77 doing this xD
That Thancred scenario was quite good, finally got to play Gunbreaker.
ARR hate is kind've memetic at this point among established players. It takes a while to ramp up, and Praetorium is a snooze, but it gets better as it runs (with the last few story patches raising the bar a lot before Heavensward did the same). The 2.x patches are just a lot to go through all at once, so people should pace themselves on them.
Yup. And it only gets better. Sharpcast on 30 seconds, casting ice spells from 0mp, single target foul, double poly's and insta cast single target fouls. It's all fucking glorious. Wait until you do trash mobs in the 80 dungeons. You will have moments where you sharpcast thunder 4s and get triple procs within 10 seconds, triple cast triple flares, double fouls all in 30 seconds.

Anything is better with friends when you can trash talk your way through the boring bits and experiencing the more HYPE! parts is elevated as you experience & get excited about some twists & turns together at the same time.
So I just started playing, I made the mistake of choosing Conjurer as my starting class, as I thought it was a damage dealing mage. I got to level 11 and I was stuck in one town so switched over to Archer. I finally got to the level 15 quests after having to relevel my archer and got to leave my starting town. Now the world is opening up and I don't know what to do. I don't really want to be a bard but the thought of starting a whole new class over again kinda sucks. I was thinking Rogue as I like dagger dealing classes but I wasn't thrilled with their skills(they didn't seem too fun), or doing a damage dealing mage. Any thoughts or suggestions? Should I just stick it out with an archer?
Sorry I don't mean the title screen when you log in, they had it in a cutscene.
I got BLM to 80 last night. All the upgrades you get feel meaningful and fun. Umbrella Soul is an amazing QoL ability.
Palace of the Dead allows you to try out jobs at higher levels to give a better idea of how jobs play at higher (though not quite max) level, I think?
If you want a mage go with Black Mage, they are one of the highest damage dealing ranges magical classes in the game who deal fire, ice, and thunder damage. Another option would be Summoner who uses damage over time spells and summons to attack with.
They've definitely not said that. They've only ever said they would like to do that, and they've been saying ti since back at 3.0 launch.
There is no reason to 'wait' for something that we have no idea if it's ever actually happening.
Just resubbed. Couldn't resist all the hype and praise I've been hearing here :D
I'm debating starting a new character (Ultros is where everyone is right?) because I don't really remember anything so I'd probably like to replay... my current main is a 60 MNK but it feels like a mess starting where I left off. Don't really mind redoing the ARR stuff bc I wanna do it all from beginning to end!
Is this a silly idea or should I just continue playing my main?

I would continue with your character. You could watch a few recap videos to get a refresh on the story and if you feel rusty with the game mechanics you could do lower levels dungeons to get back into the groove. I very much regret deleting my old character who had cleared ARR. It wasn't all bad, but it's only in this 50+ range that the game feels engaging at all.
It's not inherently silly, but you won't be able to make a character on Ultros so if that's the reason, don't.
I came back after 4 years at the end of Stormblood and it didn't take long to get back into the swing of things,
Keeper of the Lake has been the most interesting dungeon so far. Just a beautiful location and the boss mechanics were actually a bit interesting.
EDIT:
So a question about what stuff you can display as Glamour...
What are the restrictions? I figure you can display anything that you can equip with any given class... but does this apply to items that are assigned to all? I couldn't get an earring that everyone can equip to show up on my WAR for example.

The restriction is that the glamour piece has to be something that your Job can wear, that's about it I believe
You can use anything your current class can equip that's the same level or lower than the item that you're changing the appearance of.
I thought he sounded like Professor Layton but he wasn't.
I did figure out Taliesin Jaffe is the voice actor of that one dude whose name starts with a T (Tarcherie? Tarager? Tergier? I'm bad with names, lol).
It won't be for much longer, as every VA is replaced ARR -> HW
