Unannounced, you're indefinitely preventing log-ins during the repeat log-in campaign

Obviously they are going to extend the campaign. Players wouldn't be able to get the chocobo masque +1 otherwise.

Also, I think reives are considered battlefields. If those capes were not intended as reive rewards, they probably shut down the servers, because those reives are integral to the whole expansion and can't be shut down. Ofcourse, that's assuming it's the capes. Maybe they got relics washing up on mog garden beaches...

Well, some lucky shmucks probably logged in before maintenance, so it's not guaranteed, but they need to do it to save face.

Kristal that has salvage bans written all over it.

Not really. Salvage bans only come into play when you are duping drops. Noticed on BG forums that someone mentioned getting the delve boss drops from wildskeeper reives, but unclear if they are joking.

Down time is stupid now, why do they just not disable zones like they have done in the past? what is the point of a test server, you'd think test server would decrease down time but lately its done sfa.

It's probably the omphalos bullet 2.0, the 25 ratt 5 store tp necklace, the damage taken- 3% prevents knock back cape, and the grip with 10 att and acc on it. Those sound like delve boss gear, since all the other naakuals drop 2 weapons, 2 armor, that resemble themselves, and those are accessories like delve bosses drop, that don't share the naming scheme.

Here's hoping it isn't so long because they're removing them from everyone who got them, 1 by 1, or we could be locked out for days.

Once again... why is there a test server?

To test monstrosity and chocobo racing. We couldn't put any actual content on it, then it wouldn't be a completely blind glitchy clusterfuck every update. It'd ruin the surprise.

It's hard to test alliance content by yourself, you know.
Not to mention they don't even bother with NA/EU feedback.

The test servers are empty because SE doesn't use them, not the other way around. For instance, none of this expansion was put in there. Wouldn't your next expansion, where nearly all the new content that needs testing, be a great thing to use a test server for?

[Lithera]

I think the issue with SoA on the test server pre-launch has to do with the requirement for your main account to have the expansion registered. Dev Team probably would have happily put some stuff up but squeenix account side of things caused a roadblock.

Hi all I'm new to this game, I've been playing for about 3 weeks now (I think). I'm wondering what this log in campaign is about.. I've been on pretty much every day since it started and I managed to get on b4 the maintenance today. However I have no clue how it is I am collecting points or who I talk to in order to claim my reward. Can anyone explain this to me?
