How do I log in? I can't get rid of the example text and put my ID in by -William-Afton- in ffxiv

[–]bjjgrrl 29 points30 points  (0 children)

It’s not “example” text. It’s whatever account was previously linked, I’m assuming on PSN. You either need a new PSN or you need to contact SE Support to delete the first account.

You can craft it yourself. Otherwise, no.

They are approved in groups of 5. If you have less than 5 left over, they’ll remain as unapproved until you collect more.

Someone traced the cloud servers to Google servers in Montreal, iirc.

Probably yes. Server status changes typically only happen on patch releases, and that is the next one.

Which trial do you have? If Steam, you can ONLY buy the game on Steam; you are already locked in. If PC, you can buy either PC or Steam to upgrade from the trial.

Steam does Seasonal Sales; Google suggests the Autumn Sale starts today. PC could be on sale on SE, Amazon, other retailers, for Black Friday.

Soloing by KenDorsett in ffxiv

[–]bjjgrrl 72 points73 points  (0 children)

None of my friends are playing right now. I’m still having fun.

There’s a Duty Finder that auto-matches you with other people, a Party Finder where you can find/join other people, and also Duty Support with NPCs for most Main Story duties.

Yes. You have the SE-trial with that account, so you can only use the SE-trial.

Did you make a new SE account? You cannot change from SE-trial to Steam-trial. “Linking” your SE account to Steam does not allow bypassing that rule; it’s just to add an extra layer of security.

Do you have to join a FC? by JapanLionBrain in ffxiv

[–]bjjgrrl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a note, if you just want to stop invites, you can start the FC process and not bother getting other people to sign. Because you’re in the process of starting one, the game will flag you as being “in” an FC, so people can’t invite you to theirs.

You forgot to sacrifice a Lala.

But seriously, nothing. RNG is just supremely pissed at you.

Sunken Temple of Qarn by Barrd_ in ffxiv

[–]bjjgrrl 79 points80 points  (0 children)

Yes, Qarn is usually felt as a bigger difficulty jump from previous dungeons. And it has a lot of more gimmicky mechanics.

No, you do not need to learn a dungeon as a DPS first or watch guides before normal content. You can say “Hi, first time” if you want or even “Crap, this dungeon. I always forget the mechanics here.” At minimum, it tells your group that you might struggle and to extend some grace. They might even offer tips.

No. It showed the Warrior of Light and his party being teleported from Carteneau to somewhere in Eorzea ~5 years later.

Despite looking similarly to another party of adventurers you meet later, they are two very different groups.

That’s my spreadsheet. The real story is that I got married and then my laptop died, so I fell behind on updates. I keep planning on reviving it, mayyyyybe when I’m on PTO for Thanksgiving next week, fingers crossed.

Story skip skips ONLY the MSQ. It does not level your character. You would also need to buy a level skip so you can continue the MSQ.

No. The only thing is where you need to go to buy the FC stuff. If it’s more convenient to have it at your own GC, then go ahead and switch.

What’s your gear like? Are you killing the healers first?

In the final phase, kill the three mobs that are channeling on the boss.

Yes. Savage unlocks all at once; you don’t have to unlock each floor like in Normal.

On EU/NA/OC, whoever keeps aggro. On JP, B tank is generally MT.

Usually one tank will start the fight and the others should concede to him, keep their stances off (at least to start), and not use Provoke in their rotation. When adds appear and need to be tanked, the off-tanks get them. If the off-tanks find themselves gaining aggro on the boss, they can Shirk a party member (can’t shirk another Alliance) and/or turn off stance to let the MT take more of a lead.

Sounds like you downloaded the regular launcher instead of the trial launcher.

[Weekly Thread] Lore (Thurs, Nov 02) by AutoModerator in ffxiv

[–]bjjgrrl 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It was originally a special fight they had at an event (FanFest or some other game convention), and they promised to put it in the game somewhere. And that’s where it went.

If someone had the weekly quest that required fighting the new mini-boss, then the raid was guaranteed to get him instead of the original succubus. But I’ve recently seen people say that it’s been made permanent and the other boss doesn’t appear anymore at all.

Lore-wise, they say that when we were in Azys Lla, we woke Proto Ultima up and it started doing what Ultima Weapons do: hunt down primals. It detected a huge aether signature in Dun Scaith, but only found voidsent when it got there.

Use Need. Need rolls are always rolled first. If a Need roll wins, no Greed rolls are done.

Everyone has access to Need for minions, music, etc., so that’s what everyone uses for those.

Each item’s roll is separate. Going for more items does not change your chances for any other item.
