Sightseeing Log - Locations

[Espritduo]

Same on Mateus. Rain was there, and emotes a plenty, but no dice. Tartar sauce.

Oh, and to go back to the post about spamming emotes not working - it works as long as you don't spam them so fast that they don't register in the chat log. I tried out some spots on a couple of my alts and it didn't work when I did them and the chat log didn't register them, but as long as it says in the log I performed the action, I got credit, no matter what else I was doing.

19/20 now too.... first rain in 2+ RL days and ofc it was at the wrong time... i wonder when it will happen that we get it in one of the other two windows :/

So I tried every range of emote possible for 18. I even took it literal and pulled out everything having to do with the location (laurel goobbue mount, goobbue sprouting minion). I took the statement as literal as possible too and also used succor several times out of desperation and even switched to botanist. I'm sure mounts, minions, classes and abilities won't effect vistas but just wanted to throw it out there that I tried and it didn't work.

Also found rain in Thanalan for 018 from midnight to 8am on the Cereberus server, no luck with any emote.

#004 "Back-breakin', arse-bustin' work, it is. But seein' me vessels ridin' the winds, soarin' off to far lands where me legs will never carry me - well at least me sweat and blood ain't been for naught, eh?" Such were the laborer's words and I would see as he saw.
Middle La Noscea: Nym River Skylift (16, 17) | Afternoon (12pm to 5pm) | Fair | /lookout [Hezkezl Mewrilah - Hyperion]
Specifics: Next to the NPC looking out.

Just confirming that it is: Correct Start time | Fair weather | /lookout

Same results on Balmung. Around 50 people there. No Achievement notifications. I guess Rain from 12am to 8am is ruled out. /cry

Same thing happened on Diabolos, Primal datacenter, so it seems that weather is game-wide, not just datacenter.

Also, weather is the same across all servers and therefore not randomly generated - there must be a table out there that weather generates from and I have a sneaking feeling that the content has been 'gated' weekly, or maybe two-daily (like Odin and Behe) to slow down progression. I have a feeling the pattern will repeat for each 20...

If it's anything like 1.0, there is a set pattern or patterns that just cycle over and over. At 72 minutes for each Eorzea day, it can take quite a long time for a specific weather to cycle around.

After compiling a list of vistas by time for myself, I noticed that, while Dawn (5am to 8am), Morning (8am to 12pm) and Night (6pm? to 5am) have 5 confirmed sights logged, Afternoon (12pm to 5?pm) has only 4 confirmed sights logged. This makes me believe that the infamous 18 is 12pm to 5pm in the Rain.

Weather change times:
4pm - Will determine if 1 hour! (4pm to 5pm) of Afternoon and half of Night (6pm to 12am) will be viable.
12am - Will determine if half of Night (12am to 5am) and all of Dawn (5am to 8am) will be viable.
8am - Will determine if all Morning (8am to 12pm) and most of Afternoon (12pm to 4pm) will be viable.

I believe it's interesting to note that Daytime seems to be from 8 am to 10 am. I could be wrong.
