I don't think anyone was able to sneak in extra Esoterics that week?
Yeah, you're right. For some reason I thought the Esoterics were on the same timer as daily roulette, but they're not.

If that's the case, how are people already getting their weapons? Aren't they 990 each, or am I missing something?

...I'm probably missing something. -_-

Edit - Never mind, I see that the tanking weapons are lower, since both a sword/shield are needed. I feel like an idiot now. I'll show myself out. ~_~

I wish I was able to run/cap my Esoterics the morning of the patch [before reset], otherwise I'd be getting my weapon this week too. I could really use that Spell Speed. :(

Oh well, first thing next week then!

Only paladins are able to get their weapon this week if that's what you're confused about. Nobody was able to get extra esoterics the moment servers went up
 
Every time I come here I see someone talking down on Lalafells.

Lalafell mafia gonna hear about this. Stay safe in those dungeons ya'll. Accidents are known to happen...

You're all one in the same. You're all weeaboos and otaku filth.

Normal people play Hyur characters of the same gender as themselves IRL because they don't feel the need to "wanna look at a fine ass" when playing :p

But there's no fine asses in this game.

I changed to female Au Ra :(

I think I spent an hour on the character customization screen, changing between Lala and Au Ra until I made my choice. Lalas are really cute, but I don't think they'll look well in SMN AF 2.0. I'll create another character on another server just to play as a Lala when I feel the urge.

People should stop referencing data that makes me feel uncomfortable because games get ported to platforms I don't like

You have made a wise choice and I welcome you to the covenant of Non-Lalas.

Come to Ultros. Real talk, the lalafell community on Ultros are some of the best people I've met in the game so far and a big part of the reason I'm still playing. I'm glad that I switched way back when.

How did boring Hyur Tomo ever survive, anyway?

I was going to make a crack about "way back", but it has been a while.

I don't get this strange occupation the Flames have with going in with as few healers as possible. It seems even getting people to switch to heals is like pulling teeth.

It takes a special mindset to want to heal at all, and in PvP will people will

A) die to the most inane stupid stuff you can imagine and then blame you for it or

b) you heal them through it *somehow* only for them to run off (then proceed back to step a)

Plus with the way people are separated even making a mumble group doesn't actually help unless people from your GC actually happen to be on, PLUS anyone who isn't an idiot on the other teams targets you first and you have to rely on someone else for peel. so yea. Just not that fun for a lot of people.

But there's no fine asses in this game.

The cold and lonely truth. Backs stick out more than asses in this game.
 
I imagine that once you make a lala on ultros, you get invited to 13 different lala themed linkshells.
When I was on Sarg I was in 3 different Lalafell linkshells and all were very active and helpful.

I've yet to be invited to one on Balmung. But here I suspect cat linkshells rule.

I changed from Lala back to Au Ra again..just so many more glamour options :p

Oh and on that note:

Official FFXIV Hairstyle Contest

Adventurers of Eorzea are constantly ringing the Crystal Bell to summon Jandelaine, the artistic and talented Elezen who is quite possibly the busiest person in all the realm. The travelling aesthetician answers the call at the drop of a dime, and the time has come to give this stylist a bit of help. Don't worry, we won't be asking anyone to pick up a makeup kit and a pair of elegant shearing tools (think of the chaos!). Instead, we'd like to give Jandelaine new ideas for hairstyles by having adventurers submit their own hairstyle creations! The development and operations team will be selecting the finalists and then taking it to the forums for players to vote on their favorite male and female hairstyle. The two winning hairstyles will then be implemented into the game!

I'm somehow getting 20 FPS more in Idyllshire on Windows 10 than I was on 7.

Edit: I knew general OS performance would be better but I didn't think the game would run smoother

What graphics card do you have? After hearing the nvidia driver issues with 10 and its updates I am a bit worried to upgrade right away..

Any place where one might check how good the player base is on each place? I'm on Malboro and I'm not sure wether its just a bad server or is this a thing that is common place in all servers. I'd move to Ultros to get on the GAF FC but I got irl friends on Malboro. I'm just wodering if the "hardcore" crowd just keeps it to themselves on any servers and you are stuck playing with casual players unless you know people.

What server did everyone move to and is now a mess? Gilgamesh? I think that's basically the only place someone can go if they are just hoping to be graced by the hardcore on a regular basis. Or go to a Japanese server, they are all nice and competent.

So this problem is game wide then :/
Thanks for your response.

Thanks for your response.

The better a player is, the less likely they are going to go do something with random folks, it is what it is and is MMO wide. Why run something with a bunch of random people who could have any skill level from a rock to god when you can just run with the people you know in your guild or in your raid group? At the end of the day, any player can be good enough to do everything, it's just dependent if they are with the right people who are also good enough to do everything.

If the question is actually "where is there active PUG endgame stuff", and not just "Where is the rainbow land where the dress code is monocles and top hats and randoms live up to my standards?" I think the answer is Gilgamesh and/or Excalibur? For like... Raid PFs.

It's way less work to just get to know people, though. And it's just more enjoyable to mock the failures of people you know.

Well, can you tell me where the rainbow land where the dress code is monocles and top hats is?

I feel like a rainbow land that only accepts top hats and monocles would probably be racist towards lalafells. I call you on your lies, no such place exists.

That's okay; it looks like Lucrezia is doing their level best to let you find out the truth firsthand.

The answer is "any active Japanese server".
Excalibur is kinda passable these days.
