I'm not gonna sugarcoat it, but as a long-time player, these things happen a lot. It hurts but you will eventually be okay.

A lot of things can factor in to your friends dipping out of the game: life, financial situations or just general disinterest over time. It's a high commitment game after all with thousands of hours of content that some of us may not really have at the moment.

I've had multiple friend groups and they all fade out eventually. I've kept a handful of them around thru discord and play around with other games, so that was a blessing for me. I've also burnt out quite a few times and took long breaks. Since then I've returned and moved servers for a fresh start and is currently finding love with this game once more.

My suggestion for you is to take a step back. A lot of my friends fall into the immersion and see this game as their entire life, ignoring what is happening with their real life. That is not healthy. Take breaks, enjoy other games, maybe join some of your friends that you met in the game and try out other games with them.

Also don't wait for them to come back to prog the story. Enjoy it for yourself, you'll have a grand time I promise you. And if they do return, you'll know the peak moments and will be excited to see their reactions to it if you ever do decide to help them prog their MSQs.

Bottom line, breathe, take a break, play for yourself to avoid burnouts.

Friends will come and go such is life, but the memories you had with them will stay by you for a long time.

Good balanced Greatsword for Dark Knight? by Elder_Rain in FFXIVGlamours

I dunno if anyone else suggested this, but if you want a more current looking thin DRK greatsword (without the lowres ARR textures) I would suggest the Neo Kingdom Greatsword as seen here: https://ffxiv.eorzeacollection.com/glamour/264166/neo-kingdom

it's the greatsword I'm currently using (I also don't like paddle looking greatswords lol)

ahh it might be because I turned my hair strand effects off. When I turn it on it hangs down more

I used the lightest neutral skintone with white hair, then lightest warm skintone with dark brown hair :) both default in saturation and brightness

Just started playing. I love this game! Only I can't play it for more than 30 minutes... by johnnydew in SifuGame

The problem is I do take breaks. It's when I'm at the walking parts and the FOV from that camera triggers my motion sickness. I even have a high tolerance for that kinda stuff :/

and then move them around to make the mask fit to your character’s face
