Yes! I'm very curious if this will fix the issue where someone can outlevel the MSQ and get locked out of alliance raid roulette because of alliance raid ilevel requirements for a raid they can't even unlock yet.

TIL there was a word filter. I've never used the feature in the entire time I've been playing. What's it used for? I tend to ignore chat in MMOs unless I'm in a dungeon or raid.

The word filter is being added in Dawntrail. It is used to filter out any chat messages with words you don't want to see in them. For example, the image from the patch notes is filtering the word "potion." So if someone said "hey bro hand me that potion" you wouldn't see that message.

I was very excited to use it to filter out all the obnoxious shout spam from club ads but that's going to be tough with only ten spaces to work with. It needs to be at least 50-100.

First thing I'm filtering is "18+", that should catch about 70% of them.

I agree that it would be nice if there were more spaces, though.

This one is long and pretty, and would have worked really well with the Tural aesthetic.

Sir, that's a long hair and since SE is a very small indie company, they can't address clipping.

Please look forward to new pony tail and short hairs available only on mog store at 19.99.

The last really long hair was in Shb which was so long go now. I really hope I am wrong and there is more in there. This is the least excited I have been for any expac since I began playing in March 2010.

I feel I have no clue what my character will look like until I get in the game because I am on PS5 and only played around on a old laptop with the benchmark. I have bought the CE for early access but tbh I am feeling less and less excited and usually I would be. Lets hope I am wrong and they add some long hair.

---

But long hair requires programming skill for clipping and meshes.

only ten terms lmao. guess it wouldn't be a xiv feature if the devs didn't swing and miss every time.

Good to know and thanks for the info.

Square implemented most (if not all, not super familiar with all the hairs) of the winners of the 2015 hair design contest, just look for yourself. I'd say most of the 2023 entries will see their way into the game eventually, as well. Slowly, but surely.

I'm just happy they decided against naming the roulette "50/60/70/80/90".

it doesn't seems like there will be a lvl 100 roulette? So it means there will be 1 less roulette to do daily?

Actually a good change here:

The requirements to register for Duty Roulette: Alliance Raids have been changed.

Players must meet the highest item level requirements among the alliance raids they can enter at their current class or job level at the time of registration

Yeah I guess lvl 100 roulette will become available once some of the dungeons in expert will get kicked out of expert and replace by new ones.

You can probably take out a large swathe of them with only ten words, but there will always be outliers that don't format their message quite the same. Also I would bet anything that the people doing the shouting are going to start altering their ads to dodge the filters. I've seen people try to argue that they won't do that because people filtering those words aren't their audience anyway, but I've never known the club scene to shy away from any kind of unsavory behavior.

I still feel it should be broken up into 50/60, 70/80 and later 90/100... theres no reason to not give us more roulettes...

If we had more roulettes I bet you the tomes for each would get adjusted so we still would get the same amount like we would "normally" get.
So in the end people would have to spend more time a day with more roulettes for the same amount of rewards.

How else do you get people to play old content? You have to lump it in all together.

That said, what I want is a separate "Minimum iLevel" roulette, which picks ANY piece of content previously unlocked for extra rewards.

I'd love to give a "Minimum iLvl" roulette a go.
Sounds like a fun idea.

xiv continues the floor level effort:

1. Brand new hats don't fit viera/hrothgar
2. square enix chooses for you which body of water you can enter/can't enter. Yes, let's give you a beach city where invisible walls stop you from touching the water
3. No old hairstyles ported to viera and hrothgar
4. No new unreal trial; look forward to a new one in 4+ months. Last expansion you got a new one the first day of expansion launch or within 6.0X iirc

I know I ran into this issue as I got more and more jobs to 90 while still doing Heavensward, and I was pretty much forced to buy every single complete set of Diadochos gear across all jobs lest I got stuck not being able to use Alliance Raid roulette until I reached Endwalker and could earn/trade for gear there.

Of course, they also decided to put Dynamis on lockdown (so no data center traveling for a couple of months) so I probably won't get to do Alliance Raid roulette (or much of any other kind) anyway, lol.

The Unreal Trial part is false. The first Unreal Trial of EW was added in 6.1 which was Ultima Unreal. So it has never been added in the base expac but always the first major content patch.

I will say the lack of adding things to Viera and Hrothgar is getting old. It's acceptable for the old stuff, but all the new stuff should always fit the new races.

Other than that though, looking like a nice solid launch set up.

Yep. I'm going to fill up the term filter in no time trying to block RMT ads. Hopefully, I'll be able to find common terms that most of them use. Same for nightclub shout ads. Fortunately, I still have the blacklist for those.

My thoughts:

• Why is the melee DPS role quest in Radz-at-Han while all the others are in Tuliyollal?
• Are you renaming Tribal quests again? Why?
• The Term Filter looks cool but limiting it to a mere 10 words is seriously pathetic, especially given that the system is entirely client-side. If it were server-side, there might be an argument made for data usage (if it were 20 years ago), but with it being client-side, there is absolutely no excuse. The limit should be many times that, maybe even in the hundreds.
• I'm glad they aren't calling it "Duty Roulette: Level 50/60/70/80/90 Dungeons", as that was getting silly. I personally would have called it "Duty Roulette: Legacy Endgame Dungeons", but "Duty Roulette: High-level Dungeons" is fine.
• Other than those issues, looks good.

Curious how the DT MSQ start point Is hard to find.

I know where I'm camping and waiting tho.

I wonder if the filter will be for whole words only, or parts of them. In your case, "meow" would block both.

Fortunately, the spammers won't know they're being filtered, or on what words. It shouldn't affect their business, since players who filter their junk were never customers to begin with.

We're going to fantasy-Americas filled with cultural references... where "tribes" might carry a certain connotation they don't really want to project.

Which is...what exactly?

I legitimately was not aware of any negative connotations that were commonly attached to the word.

Yep it's pretty rough for Dynamis players. My alt is 90 and almost to Endwalker so she'll be free soon but it does kind of suck because since she's 90 I can actually gain tomes toward her future gear as I go along from that roulette. Well, if I could run it, lol. It's an alt I raised apart from my main so she's not swimming in gil so I've held off trying to buy anything and will just make it for myself when I get there.

Personal Estate

The estate owner is the main rightsholder, and may appoint up to three tenants as secondary rightsholders.

Please let me do this with my alt character!

Far more likely that they decided it doesn't sound right to use the term "tribe" for things like... well, prettymuch every daily-task-giving group of NPCs past Heavensward.

"tribe" is generally seen as a word that was chosen for them to make the nations they were organized into seem lesser than those founded by European colonizers. Calling the various nations that were here before colonialization "tribes" both minimizes that the nations were just that, nations, and in addition, leads to homogenization of disparate peoples, since it comes from the Latin tribus which was used to denote subsections of the population under the Roman Empire, rather than independent nations or peoples, similarly to how it was used for the 12 Tribes of Israel, which were smaller divisions under one or two nations.

Im still calling them tribe quests. Boohoo to anyone that doesnt like it. Its a game.

I hope we get more filter space later on so we can make sure that all ads can be gone
