Good Server to Switch To

So I'm debating on switching servers because my server is not endgame newbie friendly. My sister and I want to do the extreme primals and coil so bad but cannot find a group to work with to do all the primals and coils and we're tried of dealing with elites brats that have all the time in the world- or Duty Finder must know it once and done egos.

We want to have fun, get some cool loot, and enjoy the game. We're looking for awesome players that enjoy the game, don't mind a newbie wipe or two and in fact will laugh about it. Are there servers out there with player like this still? I mean we're even thinking of making new character and doing recon on servers lol!

Well unfortunately every server is going to have those type of people. I'm on leviathan and have ran into very few of these people. But i'm also in the best fc in terms of helping people and teaching the fights.If you're ever on levi check us out. I've also heard that some of the newer servers are also pretty good.

Unfortunately, that's just how people are now it seems.

There are people who are always glad to help others
There are people who will vehemently oppose your very existence if you aren't up to their standard
However most people are indifferent, and mostly just stick to their own FCs/groups. They won't go out of their way to help a stranger, but they won't give them a hard time either.

Every server is going to have a mixture of these, it's just a matter of finding nice people within those servers ^^ I personally like small-medium sized populations for this very reason, they are often more tight-nit and people don't act like jerks as much because the server will find out and dislike them.

If you check out Midgardsormr, let me know. It's a very nice medium server that has a good collection of people. There are some...eccentrics, but most of us are normal and helpful :D


EDIT: Forgot to mention the main downside to these medium-sized servers. If you tend to play at early hours of the morning (2AM PST or so) you won't see much activity, and even in the more popular areas it'll be very sparse during those times.

Primal -> Lamia...

Just putting it out there. :D

Malboro is not too bad, you could switch there.... oh wait. No don't leave!! Who am I going to pick on? Just kidding not doing any end game stuff. But yeah, they are everywhere. You are right about Malboro when I check the PF hardly any learning parties.

I know, always the you wipe the party your out parties. And I know you have elites ego's on every server, just seems like there is a ton on mine.

Sorry to see that is so hard to find groups to do content. See this thread:

http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...al-Coil-Static

A whole day later, and still like less than a dozen posts and no offers of LS or FC, or raid groups.

The obnoxious and shameless ones will always brazenly populate the PF with "no newbie wanted". You just have to ignore them. Or if you have guts and thick skin you can even join them, but I would advise against it because of all the drama it can create. The funny thing is often those parties have the party host or their friends who have NOT cleared the stuff themselves and are trying to attract other players to help them, but they get mad if other players need to learn.

I would advise switching servers because it often is the grass is greener on the other side, an you will both be out $18. To make it worth it, you probably want to create alt characters on those servers and see how they treat the newbies. But there is one server I'd advice against. If you want a house, do NOT go to Excalibur, they just got no lots left.

Zalera - we could use the company :P

Gilgamesh is extremely busy.

Well we were going to create alt characters first and see. Although we were thinking of Faerie.

Gilgmesh might be a server you want to look into. I don't know any beginner static groups looking for members, but honestly I see lots of learning parties in the PF. During our prime time anyway. Pretty sure gilgamesh is one of the most active servers.

You'll still come across people who'll get upset with you, but at least you'll have a decent amount of groups to try.

I made an alt on Faerie about...two months ago? The server was extremely dead back then. That or I had bad luck. During their prime time there was maybe three or four PFs. At night there was one or none. It's probably one of the lowest populated servers I've played on.

you cannot resist the call of the Siren

Faerie is... not that active and at most there will be 14 parties in PF and over half of those will be FARM ONLY HAVE MULTIPLE CLEARS.

Move to faerie. Ai Hana will gladly help you out, along with her like minded friends.

Agreed she would or atleast the 10000000000 post she has on it would indicate it anyway

I think my server is a rather nice server, haven't seen a lot of the elitism.
The problem is that its sooo underpopulated. Made a Levi kill party around prime time and gave up after 40 min cause no one joined at all.

So ppl on my server are stuck wiping in DF unfortunately

That person is looking for an endgame static semi-hardcore in the general section of the forum. He might be better of making a thread on his server's forum or even better, in PF. Also, your reply did not help at all. You just forced your opinion because ?? reason.

OT: Unfortunately all servers have this issue. When you talk duty finder, you even talk multiple servers since all servers in that data centre could and up in the same group when using DF. Finding a static you feel comforable in is pretty damn hard. Just try some out or even better, try to make your own so you can set rules to your liking (the ones you mentioned). It's pretty hard to manage a static, but I guess you know.

For what it's worth, Odin seems to have all kinds of statics: hardcore, semi hardcore, weekend, working days, casual, you name it. It's European times though.

Good luck!

I moved from famfrit because it was dead and no one did endgame content for the most part besides T6. I'm now in leviathan and I love every second of it! Every day there are T9+ learning parties, T9+ clear parties, T9+ farm parties. You see T8 learning parties sometimes but for the most part T6-8 you can learn just from DF so meh.

I definitely recommend Leviathan or Excalibur. I heard Gilgamesh is also very end game friendly.

He/she really seems to have something against farm parties and interjects it into many unrelated threads. :|

@OP - Sargatanas pretty much always has things in party finder ranging from learning parties to straight up farms.

Try Adamantoise. I've been going through some drama there as well, but it's not THAT BAD. And if you come over I promise to help you out, so there's that :3 some of my FC are still new and we would love to help each other anyways. I'm arguably the most advanced member there, but I don't mind backtracking to guide newbies at all :D

We will certainly try to help but the following is also so very true:

And there will almost always be a clear seller on PF advertising. As for active or not, that is all relative and subjective. Learning parties certainly do not fill up fast and can be very frustrating.

all server has same problems best is to make ur own group and own rules, i usely blacklist the qq rage quitters when they expect 1 shot for everything.

I see at least one learning party in PF pretty much all the time during prime time. And not, like, one party that doesn't ever fill. Various learning parties over the course of prime time. The handful I've had time to join have all been positive experiences.

Come to Balmung! I moved from Goblin a few months back and convinced some friends to move as well. One of the best things we ever did in this game. If you choose Balmung we have a home for you!
