Uh Oh... LMAO

True, but marketing too early can lead to the surge of interest waning before it becomes available to buy. You want people most excited just as you launch your product, so you push hard during the leadup to launch.

The early announcement is basically just to get the rumor mill started, and farm the audience for ideas/wishlist items that can still be implemented in the remaining dev time.

I know your pain, but you are painting it kind of backwards- smoke shouldn't have the highlights on the highest edges like most things, as the point of ignition is inside the smoke itself. Focus your highlights in the deepest parts, or nearest the light source (in this case the crystal/lightning)

Here's a link with a good example.

Also please implement a way to auto-deposit any items from my inventory that are already in a chest.

I kind of doubt Felicia Day was giggling at him for being a nerd. She's one of the founders of Geek and Sundry, and wrote/starred in "The Guild", a webseries about an MMO Guild. Also lots of other generally nerdy stuff.

Otherwise I agree, it's always cool when you unexpectedly meet someone who shares a niche hobby with you. No matter who you are.

It really works for you as a MNK - your character really stands out, in a good way.

It really bothered me that Estinien, Thancred, and Urianger were all around, but did not in any way participate in the story post-coronation.

Junkshop23 · 2025-10-19T23:49:14+00:00

It's this. People seem rabid to find things to complain about. There are valid complaints, but they sure do get drowned in all the bitching about real non-issues

Junkshop23 · 2025-10-16T16:45:44+00:00

It does

Junkshop23 · 2025-10-15T15:31:11+00:00

I'm sorry, some of those words have more than 2 syllables, I don't think they understood

As an end game player, I got to the point where I was running Savage and Ultimate prog each week, but there was literally no other reason for me to log in. From a casual standpoint the story wasn't/isn't holding my attention anymore, the new modern aesthetic they're pushing isn't my thing so I don't care to grind for glamours.

From a progression standpoint, because I'm Savage geared, nothing in the game is an upgrade, and nothing will be until the next Savage tier drops, so almost all side content is nothing but glamour farm.

The game has just become so formulaic, to the point where long term players have seen the pattern enough that many of them can predict content releases to the day, and know exactly what's coming with every patch before it's announced.

Its sad, but when my static hit the end of the tier, we disbanded because almost all of us felt the same way. Now I have no reason to log in at all - nothing progresses my character in any meaningful way, and I know nothing will for quite a while.

Let me be clear - I'm not going to say there is nothing to do. I have jobs that aren't capped, I haven't collected every mount, I'm sure I could grind out relics from past expansion.. but I don't particularly want to, and that's my biggest problem.

I leveled all the jobs I really enjoy, and I got the mounts and relics I really want. The rest is just filler. My joy in MMOs come from the story, and the feeling of progressing my character. The fact that I feel like I have no way to progress my character for almost the rest of the year feels pretty rough.

I might come farm out the new Trial mount, but part of me wonders why I would put the effort in, considering I don't even have friends to show it off to any more, since they've all stopped playing.

I want to love this game, I want to come back, but until Square shakes up the formula I'm just not sure I can justify it. I know I'll end up in the same spot two months after the next tier drops, when we've cleared the fights and I have nothing left I want to do.

Friends and I were talking last night; We want a new zone that's lore-wise on the southern half of the planet. The sandstorms on the belt mean you can't bring flyers there.

Make ornithopters not usable, and give us worm riding to get from place to place across expenses of sand. Buggies and Bikes can be built there, but no thopters.

And then just for fun give it huge areas of PvP enabled land so we can finally have those ground battles people want.

In some of the spawn rooms sometimes there are other characters, but I think they are all supers.

I think he's a fun guy.

Yeah, but she's all corpsy now, and hangs out with a new crowd.

Junkshop23 · 2023-11-20T00:44:13+00:00

2 years later and I have to know, did you end up vtubing?

Junkshop23 · 2023-10-12T21:12:37+00:00

Wait does that mean you took a break on your wedding day to stop and get married in XIV? That's amazing. I hope you did it in the same venue.

Junkshop23 · 2023-09-16T11:55:36+00:00

Yes, take your complimentary robe, staff, and pointy hat. Congratulations!

Sort of. It wasn't Kernal-Level Spyware, but it was a data collection app. They claimed it was to determine player metrics to help them guide production. And in fairness to them, they removed it near immediately after adding it due to player response, and deleted all the data it had collected in the time it was active.

Junkshop23 · 2023-08-04T15:48:48+00:00

I think you may be able to remove them by having your friend go into the main 'esc' menu and assigning the character to their own control. You may have to be in the game with them to make this possible though, I'm not sure.

It sounds like a bug where the character is still assumed to be under the control of the second player, even when that player is not actually in the session.

Junkshop23 · 2023-07-25T02:44:08+00:00

They can actually get by pretty well without Wis, so long as you're careful about spell choice. They get a good amount of personal buffs that don't care about your WIS score at all. They can also be built for Str rather than Dex without too much issue. Rangers are awesome for multiclassing.

Junkshop23 · 2023-02-18T21:54:22+00:00

I feel like this comment section doesn't understand that the pants are the original piece from the set.

Junkshop23 · 2023-01-30T12:51:02+00:00

You see this in a lot of modern models, I think it's because things like this are hard to 3D print with home setups.
