Off Topic Discussion Megathread

[MilkieTea]

I guess we'll see how things go. On the official forums for other games that I play, such threads are typically tolerated because they're a good way at building a sense of community among the regular posters as well as a place for new posters to show up and feel part of something.

I'd even be inclined to suggest that this thread would be a good place for our community representatives to show up and engage with us!

This! Also, by Off topic I mean, like, stuff that would normally derail other topics. So off topic but remaining XIV related. I'll edit my post to make that clearer.

Unfortunately, I think that is against the rules as well, cited here:

• When you create a new thread, please do not mix multiple unrelated topics into a single thread. Instead, please create an individual thread based on each topic.

Wait... so then, how would I use a thread like this?

According to the english forum (NA/UK) guidelines we shouldn't be! In fact, the whole thread (and all the posts therein) should be deleted!

Like I said, they'll kill the thread if it's not something they condone, but TBH considering DE, FR, and JP forums have threads thousands of pages long for the same kind of discussion, I'm not sure it's something they think is actually against the rules. But like I said, if they don't want this here they'll kill the thread.

You know what really grinds my gears? When moderation of a forum is selective; enforcement not evenly meted out. But I digress.

I'm so glad that the patch is out on Tuesday. I'm really eager to have some new content to play around with. I'll probably hit up the MSQ's first!

In-game, I've mostly been working on decorating my house (not that anybody comes to visit...) and gradually working on some relic weapons.

What has everybody else been up to lately?

I've been levelling my alt classes and begging my SO to download the game. He's stubborn as all heck, though, and extremely lazy to boot, so while he acknowledges that he thinks he'd like it, he also just, doesn't want to put in the effort to download it ahah.
I'm also super excited for the new patch! Can't wait to see what the MSQ entails, I'm basically on the edge of my seat.

Earning gil, doing dungeons for tomestones, trying to find content I enjoy. Currently helping my FC, we're struggling to find members that speak German though. Otherwise, it's been a bit boring lately but I hope 5.5 adds longevity until fall when Endwalker will release.

Gonna farm the Nier raid asap for obvious reasons. If I can't get the hairstyle to work then it's back to MSQ.

Well, reading the other languages forums (only read the JP one so far) it's small topics and chit-chat about the game. Not about outside the game.

Posts about other games, and potentially real life that doesn't impact the game should be culled, I hope.

Slowly progressing, on this run through on an alt with a friend. We are now both level 76 and about to attempt the Royal Menagerie fight for the first time, then out of Stormblood's 4.0 into 4.1. We should both be level 80 before the end of 4.1, I guess.
