FFXIV Online

Another week has flown by in Eorzea, so it's time for this week's reset recap! What have you been up to this week in the game, and what have you managed to tick off your bucket list?

Also am curious if people are finding this fun or interesting. We're still a small community here on Lemmy so am trying to encourage people to post and engage a bit, but I also look back since last week's recap and not a lot has happened 😅 So share your thoughts as well on whether you this we should keep going with the recap!

As the clock ticks down to the weekly reset, it's time again for this week's Reset Recap! What did (or didn't) you achieve this week in the game?

Remember if you haven't participated in The Rising event this year that you're nearly out of time, with the event finishing later this week. Get yourself a big red fan emote and enjoy a cute little quest line to celebrate another year together in Eorzea.

Weird that they decided to leave the fix for 7.1, but at least it's acknowledged now.

How has your week gone in Eorzea? What did you manage to tick off your to do list?

In the week that was FFXIV news, the Materia data center was brought to its knees for a few hours late last week with all 5 servers going offline due to some issues in the data center, we got some previews at PAX of some of the new UI elements coming like chat bubbles and the raid planner, and Yoshi-P hinted at FFXIV maybe being made available for the Switch 2!

There's a ton of other interesting stuff in the interview about things like how they're tuning fight difficulty, the fact they rebalanced the jobs after they'd already finalised the current Savage tier and the fact they're expecting groups to wipe on average three times during the Alliance Raid (personally I doubt that will last long based on past experience with Myths of the Realm).

But apparently we're getting 24 man savage content! How had I missed this? (And how on earth are we going to coordinate groups for it? It's hard enough to find 7 other people now for regular Savage 😅)

What do people like for generic current content static recruitment?

I used to primarily go to FFXIV Recruiter, but they ruined it by moving to discord forum style which I find harder to use.

The Balance still has normal channels.

Are there any fediverse options? Or other discord servers people find useful?

It's that time of the year again where anyone who's anyone with a Fantasia addiction can save themselves a little bit of money or (and let's be honest, this is more likely) get more Fantasias for the same amount of money!

Plus there'll be a ton of stuff like emotes, mounts and some glamours on sale as well, so if there's anything you've been eyeing off recently, now is the time to get it on the cheap! (Well, not right now, the game and the shop are still down for maintenance... but soon!)

We're going to lose a couple of hours tonight due to maintenance, so it's time for this week's reset recap! Assuming you didn't get completely hammered by the DDoSing over the last couple of days, what are you proud of getting done this week in Eorzea?

Network Technical Difficulties Caused by DDoS Attacks (Aug. 24) | The Lodestone

Follow the link to the Lodestone for the specifics however we've got a 7 hour maintenance planned for next week just before reset for some hot fixes and infrastructure maintenance. Make sure to check your local time and get any retainers, airships or submarines sent out before maintenance starts!

And don't forget all the hunt monsters will be up after the game comes back online so expect some A trains and S rank hunts happening after maintenance.

The latest iteration of The Rising is starting next week on August 27th! Get yourself a cute Krile minion and some table lamps while you fulfil whatever task the Wandering Minstrel has for you this year!

And say hi to Yoshi-P and the dev team when you see them, okay?

Lemmy is still a growing platform, and doesn't have the same number of people posting as a platform like Reddit. So let's try and change that! Today is weekly reset day, so post below about something you've managed to accomplish during the last week!

As someone who never played during an expansion launch, how hard are the latest Savage raids? I’ve been afraid to try them, I don’t have an active FC so I’d be queuing and I don’t want to be a burden. I can run the normal raids and not die or even get hit by the mechanics the whole run, but not sure how big of a jump up in difficulty they are mechanics wise.

So nearly 2 months into Dawntrail's launch, the probationary data centers that were set up to help balance traffic in the post launch surge are being closed.

Now that we're moving into a more normal post launch environment, how have you found the launch? If you played during Endwalker, did you experience similar queue times this time around or did you have a much smoother login experience?

I know I haven't seen anywhere near as many complaints about login problems this time around, although I'm also on the Materia data center, so we don't exactly have a large population to begin with!

Share your thoughts! Did SE learn from Endwalker and fix the problems with their login servers this time around do you think?
