New Weekly Reset

Anyone know if the new reset time takes effect this week as well, or only after 2.2? I know I'll find out later today but I'm just curious since I could organize my days differently :o

edit: OP by me and 1st reply by Osc, some of the posters will have a sig field day with this thread :D

Hoping for a short week starting thursday.

This week is still all the same. We can get capped on sol tomes the weekend, then everything with new reset starting next week

Isn't it 8am tuesdays starting after 2.2?

edit: Just took a look at the notes.

In order to alleviate server load during the weekly reset for item acquisition and player progress, the reset time for the following items and duties has been changed to Tuesday at 08:00 (GMT):
Allagan tomestones of soldiery
The Second Coil of Bahamut
The quest "Primal Focus"
PvP Weekly Performance

Don't think so. We hadn't lock on philos, so you could do AK 20 times in a row (i did it..........almost broke my wrist lol). I guess it will the same, but yep.... it was perfect for me to start the week with the reset. Now i'll have a "boring" monday, waiting for next day...

CT is having it's cap removed completely come 2.2

Oops. Them... Is there any weekly reset on monday? I mean, just move all the resets from monday to tuesday doesn't seems like something that will make it less stressfull to the servers :P

They're moving it to 8am GMT tuesday morning. Which is the middle of the night for NA players. So most (or that's the idea anyways lol) of the NA players will be in bed and unable to do the content when it resets. The next several hours after reset will be dominated by EU players with a lot less NA players on at the same time. Assuming work/school/superhero stuff keeping NA's off till 12 hours or more after reset, by then the EU players (and the NAs with nothing to do that day) should have blown through it all.

The reset will be at a different time zone too (8 gmt), so some people (like me) will be working instead playing. That way we'll "split" the parties trying to join instances and reducing the stress..... which sucks for me, since i always try to join pugs parties on mondays to clear Coil, so with the new reset if i try to pug T6-T9 parties a few of them will be completed already. But well, didn't clear T5 yet, so i'm rambling...

The current stuff keeps the current reset day of Monday. Only some of the new content gets a reset day of Tuesday. I.e. so the servers don't get spammed with everything all on one day.

It says this quite clearly in the notes:

The challenge log has been added.
The challenge log contains a list of adventuring objectives across a wide range of categories. Completing any one of these objectives will earn you rewards. Completion status is reset on a weekly basis on Tuesday at 8:00 (GMT), and it is possible to undertake the challenges repeatedly. Additional rewards can be earned for overall completion of the challenge log.
* The time remaining until the challenge log is next reset can viewed under Timers in the Duty menu.

This is the only content that is getting the Tuesday reset time. Everything else is the same.

Such as? After the stuff on that list, what's left that resets weekly? (CT and Coil 1-5 are both having their weekly restrictions lifted.)

So it's more about the hour than the day, ok, thanks :p

Dailies, supply quests, leve allowances, etc. all still reset at their original times. Off the top of my head I can't think of anything that is weekly that will still be on Monday, since as you mentioned the restrictions for the current main content is being lifted. Although technically the reset does still happen on a Monday night for me, because of the hours I keep. ;)

Greetings,

I just wanted to stop in and give some additional information, since there have been questions popping up about this. While the weekly reset time for content will change, the reset time for Duty Roulette and other daily content will not change from the current time. :)

So we have:
All Daily resets at 10am EST
All Weekly resets at 7am EST (Tuesday)

I have no problem with this. I just hope it doesn't get out of hand and have 3-5 different reset times for different content. What silly server infrastructure. (^_^ ;; )

Yeah, it's just SE completely misunderstanding why a lot of people only play on Monday.

Well at least you're being consistent about not bothering to have any consistency at all. :rolleyes:

I think they understand it quite well. People would log in on mondays to blow through coil, cap myth and clear EM's. Now people will start Coil 2 and tome capping on tuesdays, but at different times. Hopefully it will be less laggy.

No more 90000k?

It's not about the day, it's about the time. If they put it in the middle of the night, they hope for less people to come on at the same time.

Yeah but if thats the case couldn't they just move it back a few hours from 10AM Monday to 2AM Monday? Instead of changing the day and messing with everyone's schedules.

Most people will just log on Tuesday night and it will be just as busy as Monday. Well I suppose if your not like me, stuck on Monday with no other recourse, screwed if someone can't make it because its the last day of the reset.

Oh well.

Europe people have some time difference with you.

With a Monday reset, considering work times and all, EVERYONE stacked at the same time. With a reset after the weekend like that, the EU players should be done first (unless you like running your coil at noon-3 pm your time).

I personally am not happy with the new reset times.. turns my monday off from a fun day filled with new beginnings..(Coil 1-5, EX Primals, Etc) to a monday off where no one will be doing anything and waiting to try to finish something will take hours because everyone will be done... ugh.. so garbage

Forgive me if this is a dumb questions but why do we need these caps to begin with in a sub based game?

I get that all the free to play games use these waiting-things to monetize normal progress but why does ARR have them?
Sorry if this is obvious to everyone but me =(

I guess Square-Enix wants people to be "busy". With no cap, a lot of "hardcore" players will burn all the content in less than one week and bam, "we'll see you again on next patch". That means "no more subscriptions". With a Cap, you have to play all weeks to be well-geared. Also, casual-players won't be left behind

Caps are a pacing mechanism. You may have a job and other things you do when not playing the game, but there's also people who only go to school or simply don't work and play FFXIV all day. The people that play all day would get everything done content-wise is a small span of time, meaning they could unsub and come back the next patch. It also prevents massive gaps in power between the people who play all day and those who have other things they do aside from FFXIV.

Considering the choice is between caps (daily, weekly) and stupid Skinner Box drop rates, I say we got the better end of the deal.
