I'm at a bit where I have to do a raid to advance the story and I swear to god... it's doing my head in. I've waited 25 minutes plus, twice, and still not got a team to start... the first time I did it yesterday I got bored of waiting and went to do something else for literally ONE MINUTE after waiting over half an hour, came back and it said I had missed the start and got a penalty :facepalm:. I reckon I'm on a crap server. Or playing at the wrong time of day for the server I'm on or summat.

OK so I'm on Odin and I've just googled and seen it described as "Hardcore raiding community with many Scandinavian players."

... ...... .. .... ..... . . ...... :umm2: ...

And it costs rls money to transfer! :oh: Guess I'm a Viking now.

Crystal Tower? Or earlier than that? xD

No it’s like the first one :laugh:. I’m level 23 or summat but it’s only a level 15 quest... I think I’m over-levelled because I did a load of the duty roulette things when they first unlocked and they were spamming me with “bonus xp” that was 5x the actual completion reward, and they take like 90 seconds from start to finish :think:.

Anyway it’s just after unlocking airship travel and they sent me to some cave and then I /sat and /danced, and /cried a bit for an hour but while DPS came and went, there wasn’t a healer nor tank to be seen.

Ah, just regular dungeons lol, are you queuing via the duty finder?

Yes literally have to - the quest itself is to use the duty finder :facepalm:

You should get queued in eventually, I'd suggest queuing around 4pm, because thats when the roulettes reset, and people will be doing the levelling roulette about then.

Had any luck? :o

Yes but there's another one like 2 quests after :fist:

There is a third one too. If you was on Aether I'd help you through them xD

I actually got into that one pretty quickly but we ended up doing half of it with no tank... wasn’t really an issue though :shrug: I think everyone on it was over levelled.

I do need to switch servers I think, I have indeed started to notice a lot of Scandinavian, I think I’m basically on a mostly non-English speaking server. But I don’t think you can switch data centres :think:.

You can switch data centers, I think, tbh, I'd recommend Aether, it's an American data center, but its got a big population.

I'm on Light, Phoenix is a pretty good server.

Belated easter event!

Fanfest starts tomorrow night!

Oh yeah, I assumed it would be Saturday night but that makes sense.

I did originally, til a US friend said it was tomorrow night, and realised its early hours Saturday for us xD

We'll be getting special frames/stickers for gpose too :D Also a bunch of cool stuff added to the store, oh! Mog tome event too!

It'll be interesting to see what the scythe job will be like.

It's not going to happen but I do hope the get rid of the gender locks on Viera and Hrothgar at some point. It honestly bothers me that they have one gender apiece.

I wish they'd have just added Hrothgar only as they originally planned tbh xD

It was laziness really, they could have based female Hrothgar off of female Ronso in FFX, and Yoshi said that male Viera would look like Elezen with bunny ears but the concept art from a while back painted a different picture.

I'd probably switch to a Viera if they added a male option. I've been an Au Ra since they were introduced and I fancy a change but I've been every other race I'd want to play as.

New job is Reaper, a scythe weilding job
Male Viera coming at launch, Female Hrothgar slightly later
lots more too!

The ending credits today confirmed my suspicions...

Master Matoya's new VA is Shelia Reid, aka Madge from Benidorm
