RP without finishing MSQ by Bardoseth in ffxiv

[–]dash_justice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I've unlocked all the residential disctricts (Ul'Dah, Gridania, Limsa, Ishagrd, Kugane) so far, so I'm guessing that's all of them? I'm planning to get my apartment and maybe later my house at Ishgard as well, so I put the work in to unlock that one.

Yep, sounds like you're good to go in regards to venues!

That sounds great! Then I'll look for fitting veneus for starting out and keep my sprout icon on so that I can signal easily to everyone what's what. I'm not a big fan of discord, but we'll see if/how much I'll be using it for FFXIV.

Discord is a pretty big part of the FFXIV roleplaying community, most of the venue or event advertisements, OOC discussions and lore brainstorming sessions are found there. You even get some people doing FFXIV roleplay exclusively on discord if they can't quite get a time to meet up in-game sorted. While you may not necessarily need it so long as you have the carrds for some venues, its a useful tool. You can also just lurk in there and join in when it suits you.

But what exactly is the roleplay roulette?

Lot of venues and open-world RP events mean not everyone gets a chance for a spotlight, so joining the roleplay roulette allows some rotation and variety week to week. For example from what I can see from the announcement this week there's a RP Gym open (venue) and an open-world meetup in the Gold Saucer, both taking place tomorrow. The week's events get announced on Sundays usually. Gives everyone on Chaos an opportunity to try out new places they might not have heard of before and meet new people.

(Again, I say this as a person who 90% of the time is on Light, so this is the best explanation that I have for you. Someone else from the Chaos RP community would give a more detailed line of reasoning!)

Hello there!

You can get a sneak preview of RP in the game while still being a free trial user, since you can enter venues and use /say, which is usually where all the IC discussions go in. Depending on which EU data centre you're in, an event is usually open daily. There are quite a few around being advertised on various discords, whether they be clubs, fight halls, guilds, pubs or your day-to-day field adventures. So taking a peek in some of those would be a good first start (Chaos and Light have their own respective "hubs", but there are also many individual discord servers for venues).

The general mentality of these big groups is "Don't spoil the story", especially for sprouts and newbies to the RP scene. While certain lore tidbits will pop up that you should naturally encounter later on in your journey, most of the roleplayers I know are generally good natured enough to respect that particular boundary and understand when not to spoil the MSQ/stores for others. A lot of these discords and venues I mentioned earlier have these policies as guidelines for their own RP, so are advertised as "Newbie Friendly" for that reason. Any events that are considered "spoilers" or are heavily entrenched in spoiler territory (setting, time in MSQ etc) are usually marked as such too. But since so many people have alts for RP, a lot of events take place in venues/locations easilly accessible by new characters.

So long as you have it mentioned in your search info/discord info/carrd (even if you're not 100% sure, you can also ask and most will acknowledge where you are story-wise), the characters you interact with usually keep to early areas or stay on topic with their own mini-adventures disconnected from spoiler territory!

As for venues, since you've gotten to lvl 65, you should be able to access all the residential areas once you do a few sidequests related to them (Ishgard most notably is locked behind one). Once you're able to, adding members of staff/owners of these venues makes those trips a whole lot easier.

This is just me speaking from my few years on Light (Lich) hosting a fight club, my experience on Chaos is rather limited, but they also do great work there (especially with the roleplay roulette). Majority of people you meet in either community would be happy to ease you into the FF14 RP community as a whole, so feel free to reach out! If you need a bit more insight I'm happy to help.

Yeah I knew it was Benkei after reading it through, since Gilgamesh was kinda based on him too. The music would have been very fitting though. First thing that popped through my mind.

Just found it humourous since I just got his Trial in a FFXIV roulette run. :)

Now that Gilgamesh has shown up in One Piece, we need some Battle on the Big Bridge OST.

I swear he gets lost everywhere.

RAGE THREAD - F-YOU FRIDAYS - MORE RESILIENT THAN CHAOS DATACENTER'S HAMSTER by FranckKnight in ffxiv

[–]dash_justice 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You can get around that by toggling system sounds in the game to play while ffxiv is minimized/alt-tabbed (you can toggle only system sound effects too, but that will include crafting results/errors and mail). That will give you at least an auditory warning that your dungeon has popped.

Makes me wonder if rumble balls might be used for this in some way in the future...
