Loool

I've actually been monitoring the weather. It seems it changes every 8 hours:

day 8/32

00:00 - rain stopped. foggy sky.
08:00 - started raining again
16:00 - sandstorm began
24:00 - started raining again.

It seems every two weathers, its rain

EDIT:
9/2 and it still hasn't stopped raining lol

Halatali Battlewarden said something funny too:

"There has been an increased number of reports regarding creatures dropping crystals seemingly drained of their elemental aspects. What is even more disturbing is that the increase corresponds almost exactly with the date we began noticing the growth in size of the realm's beasts..."

They're justifying the increased mob size with lore too :) good move.

One of the Ul'dah gateguard quests was to investigate the recent growth in the area's wildlife too. I bet they tie in the new battle system as adventurers needing to learn a new style of fighting in order to defend against this new threat.

When trying to log out it happened to me a few times after the patch but I figured it was a bug.

I read through this thread not to long ago and it seems to be a confirmed configuration glitch.

So, if the 6th Umbral era was of the water element, I guess each umbral era is tied to an element. I wonder what element the 7th Umbral era will be - and how that will affect Eorzea.

Ice = Ice Age?
Earth = Earthquakes?
Lightning = Lightning storms?
Wind = Storms and Tornadoes?
Fire = Heat?

The 7th Umbral era belongs to the Winds, if they want to keep the same order as with Moons and Suns.
