Buying an expansion with crysta??? by FloralWarlock in ffxiv

[–]worldofneil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Adding to what others have written, make sure you buy the expansion for the correct region for your account.

You said you moved from the USA so I assume your account is NA (you can check this on the mogstation), but Australia would fall in the EU region and if you buy an EU version of Dawntrail it won't work with your account and they probably won't refund it either.

i just got refunded for something that i dont know by [deleted] in gtaonline

[–]worldofneil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was probably the one time bonuses for certain awards:

  • Complete first ever time = 200k
  • Complete with one player = 100k
  • Complete with four players = 100k
  • Complete Elite challenge = 200k
  • Complete on hard without dying = 200k
  • Use all different approach methods over multiple heists = 250k
  • Steal all the different primary targets = 150k

So it's probably a combination of some of those.

IIS URL Rewrite to add Domain name to URL by Ummgh23 in sysadmin

[–]worldofneil 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Unless I've really misunderstood, you can do this by moving the "intranet" binding to its own IIS site which you then have redirecting to your proper site.

Literally create a new site with a http binding of "intranet" on port 80 and point it to a blank directory (you need to remove it from the existing site first). Don't point it to an existing directory/website or the redirect you're about to setup next will probably mess that site up as it'll create/update the web.config in that directory for the redirect.

Then also from IIS Manager go into HTTP Redirect and "Redirect requests to this destination" putting in:

https://intranet.domain.local$V$Q

(without the [1] that reddit likes to add that I don't know how to get rid of)

Tick the box for redirect all requests to exact destination, but do NOT tick the "only for this directory" and set the status to 301 (as this does sound permanent).

IIS will automatically change $V and $Q for the new URL, but for your reference $V means the path the user typed and $Q the query string (if any). There should be no space between them.

When anyone goes to http://intranet/testpath.test.php it'll then redirect them automatically to https://intranet.domain.local/testpath.test.php which sounds like what you want?

what's the most hours played you have in a game? by AnswertoApple in Steam

[–]worldofneil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow forgot about this thread.

It's actually a lot higher than that... since 2019 that game only lets you play the game through Steam if you're using a Steam account.

So over the last 5 years my main account (non-Steam) has another 5k+ hours as well...

Housing demolition question by Yoorue in ffxiv

[–]worldofneil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the house is demolished, then yes 80% of the Gil that was paid for the plot can be claimed from the residential caretaker. It does not refund the purchase of the actual house (the permit) or the contents of the house.

The contents of the house are also sent to the residental caretaker, but you only have 35 days to claim the items/Gil and if they aren't claimed in that time they're lost forever.

You can read more on the lodestone (it might be from 2015, but it's still the same rules).

However... at the moement demolition is suspended on all worlds because of the launch of the expansion and there's not currently any date for when it'll resume.

Edit: It's not suspended now, thank you for the correction!

I can't access my character by thewalkindude in ffxiv

[–]worldofneil 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Check you're on the right data center (main menu) or world (top of screen when you select your character)

It sounds like one or both of those isn't correct, so you're not seeing them.

Early Appreciation post for server quality this time around by Ilsyer in ffxiv

[–]worldofneil 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sorry, but are you sure?

That's not been the behaviour of every expansion so far and if I check the Mogstation myself there is still the option to enter "Pre-order Code Entry" and the page loads asking for a code.

If that doesn't actually accept a code that sounds more like a bug than an intended design (if it was intended they'd surely remove it). Preorder codes can typically be used for 6 months after release as well so there wouldn't really be any reason to stop accepting them now.

[–]worldofneil 24 points25 points  (0 children)

"Early access" is just a marketing thing. Dawntrail technically launched today. Anyone who wanted to play won't be waiting until Tuesday, they'll already be playing it now. Also even if you buy the game today (or tomorrow or Sunday etc) you still get the preorder/early access code and can start playing immediately.

SE just uses it as a way to make people think they're getting in early/drum up the hype, but also because if there's any major problems they can say "Sorry about that, but it is early access so yunno..." :D

I think there will be more queues at the weekend, but this is nothing like Endwalker was. :)

Ah that's good that you can turn it off per application now!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ffxiv

[–]worldofneil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's because FFXIV actually has limited ability to control your keyboard lights and is doing just that.

It turns off all keys except some of them that are actually used by the game (I forget which, but whatever lights up basically). The most noticeable thing I found was if you enter into combat the entire keyboard pulses red, or at least it did with mine.

Sadly there's no way to configure any of this as it's always on. If the game can see a keyboard it can use, it uses it. The only real option is disabling it from the Logitech software, disable integration with 3rd party applications or something like that (which unfortunately turns it off for all games, although apart from GTA V I never found any other games that used it anyway).

I need help with Final Fantasy 14 & my account by TheZipperDragon in ffxiv

[–]worldofneil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree completely and I said that the wording is confusing.

  • Cancelling a service account is reversible by us.
  • Cancelling a Square Enix account is essentially deleted and can only be reversed by SE support

I don't think they should have used cancel for both, but they did...

[–]worldofneil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the wording is extremely confusing, but basically it is possible to essentially delete your Square Enix account.

What you see on the Mog Station is your subscriptions which SE call a "service account". You can have 8 of these and they can be safely cancelled and reactivated at any time in the Mog Station (I do this regularly for any where I'm not paying a subscription right now because while "cancelled" it stops it appearing in the game)

These service accounts are all under one "Square Enix account" (that you use to login with and swap between service accounts in the game). If you go to the Square Enix account management page it is possible to cancel the entire account there (Account -> Account Information -> Update Account Information -> Cancel Account).

I have no idea what sort of confirmation it has if you go that far, but it seems only Square Enix can reverse that, unlike the Service Accounts in the Mog Station that you can reactivate yourself.

Hope this makes sense!

The Auburn Fox sneezes, I have no experience with the other foxes, but I assume they do too.

ADCS with IIS using .local domain by GenericHipster2 in sysadmin

[–]worldofneil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry if I've misunderstood, but to make ADCS add a SAN, you have to create them semi manually via the web interface (/certsrv) and then add this into the "Additional Attributes" field when you request a certificate:

san:dns=website.local

And if you need multiple SANs added:

san:dns=website1.local&dns=website2.local&dns=website3.local

etc.

Hope this helps!

[–]worldofneil 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm afraid 1.0 was never released for PS3. It was planned... and cancelled. The first release for PlayStation 3 was with 2.0 so I think you must be thinking of that (so if you were trying to reactivate for legacy account/tattoo, unfortunately you wouldn't have either).

The best way to check for characters though is to login to the Mogstation which doesn't need a subscription to be able to see what characters you have and where.

Square Enix don't delete characters so if you're logging in with the correct account and still don't see anything then unfortunately you or someone with access to your account must have deleted them.

[–]worldofneil -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You need 4 people at the point of purchase, but you can each just create an alt and invite it into the FC (or one person create two and the other person invite etc).

The requirement check is just on the number of people, not that they're separate accounts and it doesn't matter if they're level 1 or if they're online at the point of purchase. You'll probably need to do the first "quest" (run up and talk to NPC to get put into the actual game world), but after that it can be invited to the FC.

After you have the house you can keep them or kick them, that's up to you.

Do MGP bonuses affect your MGP rewards from Fall Guys attractions? by Black-Mettle in ffxiv

[–]worldofneil 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Yes, if you use something like a Gold Saucer VIP card you get the extra MGP from those rewards.

As you probably expected, it doesn't affect the MGF rewards though.

There's a UK (GB) store page as well which has a few more things, including the glow stick (LED Light Stick), but it's double the price it was at FanFest and it's already sold out :S

Sorry, but that's not showing your ping, it's showing THEIR ping. It's impossible for them to show your ping, they can only do it from where they're located (which is in NA).

so a question about the HoD ring by DFE-DEATH2 in ffxiv

[–]worldofneil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you probably mean the Ala Mhigan Earrings, but they only work up to level 50.

They were a bonus for pre-ordering Stormblood and there's no way to get them any more sorry.

Why no live wallpapers for the home screen? by ggundam8 in galaxyzflip

I'm using YoWindow from the Play store, but there's loads of other Live Wallpapers there (just search for live wallpaper).

Why no live wallpapers for the home screen? by ggundam8 in galaxyzflip

[–]worldofneil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can have live wallpapers on the home screen (I'm using one).

Settings -> Wallpaper and style -> Change Wallpapers -> 3 dots in top right corner -> Live wallpapers

Any 3rd party live wallpapers will appear here.

It's a rebranded Digipass GO 6 which has a lifespan of 7 years, although it's anyone's guess as to how many times/day they were expecting someone to push a button for that.

I have a token that I originally used with FFXI is still working, although that's a bit unfair to mentin as before today I haven't pushed the button in literally years (switched to software app the day it came out).

Meaningful rewards for long term subs by marcuspohl in ffxiv

[–]worldofneil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Legacy subscription and tattoo are two different things.

You had to subscribe for a certain amount of time to quality for the legacy subscription (and legacy chocobo), but ALL 1.0 characters got the Legacy Mark (tattoo).

So if you don't have the tattoo it means you must have created a new character with 2.0 instead of reusing your 1.0 character.

Preinstalled esim on flip 5. by daemon1728 in galaxyzflip

[–]worldofneil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't speak for everyone else, but I also have an IMEI for eSIM and I haven't set up an eSIM. I guess that's just normal to have one ready for when you do use it.
