Off Topic Discussion Megathread

I finally got around to earning the 'The Reaper' title in preparation for Endwalker. I'll be going through the MSQ's as a PLD, then picking up Reaper once I'm finished and making that my new main!

I also finished my FSH relic. The last step in particular was a pain but it's done now. I already have the MIN relic, so I'm wondering if I should push myself to complete the BTN one as well...

Not a book and maybe a bit too Sherlock Holmes for you.
But have you played Danganronpa?

It's basically an Anime novel game series revolving around murder mysteries you have to solve.
Pretty fun imo, Danganronpa 2 especially was probably my favorite.

I've played Danganronpa games yes, at least the first! Made a start into the second but I'm keeping that one aside for now. Good game series!

Have you tried the Dresden Files?

Never heard of those, so will check them out! Thanks!

PSA for people who haven't paid for their pre-order yet and are thinking of doing it before the game launches.

If you're using Google Chrome and it doesn't work try another browser.
It just didn't work for me at all with Google Chrome :/, switched to Firefox and it worked.

Hope you had a nice vacation, at least!

Gods though, I can't believe we're less than 3 weeks from Early Access now. I have so much stuff I wanted to get done but I've accomplished so little - I blame work. :c At least my main 3 characters are geared up and ready to go!

I should stop taking them, though, especially this close to EW

The Chaos datacentre appears to be living up to its name. I've had a lot of lag these past two days but only in FFXIV. Everything else is fine. I hope it's temporary and not a sign of incoming server strain due to the expansion launch. I think I read in an interview that the EU datacentres haven't yet been reinforced/upgraded in the same way as the NA and JP server clusters have been.

I took a week off for early access. That should be enough time to at least get some gameplay in even if things are chaotic.

Oh, dear. I really hope we don't run into a lot of complications. During SHB, I couldn't do anything on the first day. 6 hours of DCing and re-queuing. By the time I actually got to log in and play, two of my static members were almost done leveling DNC & GNB.

Apparently some guy is going to kill The Ebony Warrior every week until Elder Scrolls 6 comes out. I'd not heard of that, so thought it was some mod fight at first. Nope. Just some final fight to do at maximum level.

I kind of want to do it now. Don't think I'll get my orc to 80 before Endwalkers though. Sitting at 58 after a bunch of grinding on Delphine(oh how I hate her). Started to use the knocked prone + pickpocket exploit to boost magical skills via training. Digging the Conjuration tree, and finally have Destruction high enough to disintegrate people with lightning.

To get 80, gotta get everything except one thing to 100, or alternatively, Legendary something as many times as that is. (There's 18 skill trees, not counting Werewolf and Vampire, I think? So need 17 of them to 100 or a few to 100 and Legendary 1 skill for however many remain).

Currently have:

100 Heavy Armor
100 Two Handed
100 Block
100 Enchanting
92 One Handed
89 Light Armor
75 Restoration
76 Conjuration
68 Smithing
77 Lockpicking
50 Sneak
27 Archery
29 Alchemy
21 Alteration
20 Pickpocketing
20 Illusion
69 Speech
91 Destruction

The issue seems to have been fixed, whatever it was. I haven't had any lag or disconnects today which is nice.
