Off Topic Discussion Megathread

I plan to make Reaper into my main, though only once I'm done with the MSQ's. The time it would take to get Reaper from 70 to 80 so I could start the 6.0 MSQ's would cut into the time spend just soaking up the new expansion's zones and story. I'd also rather avoid spoilers, so not getting side-tracked early on ensures that I can focus on completing the MSQ's.

I‘m still struggling deciding wether to go with Sage first (planing on maining in the future) day of the expansion or stick with scholar for the story. I‘m really scared of spoilers, and it seems like I need to avoid social media like the pest when choosing the first option.

Yeah, I predict it'll take me about a week to get through the MSQ's assuming that there aren't any server issues to deal with. I'll likely avoid the forums, Twitter and Discord until I'm done, though.

Maybe for a good few weeks.

Not really feeling the vocal/indie rock bit of the EW main theme. The orchestral parts are pretty lit though. I wish if they were going to go rock that they would just go balls to the wall heavy metal.

Recently stumbled upon this video of the 1.0 era.

It‘s so fascinating to see how the game changed so drastically. I have to say even though the game was a mess, there was a certain charm in being able to leave the city without having a loading screen.

Heck, you'll probably have to turn off your in-game chat too. I don't doubt people will be spoiling it in there either intentionally or unintentionally.

Yeah, I usually move the say, shout and yell channels over to a different tab during a major patch or expansion launch.

TheMightyMollusk changes names to TheGrandGunpla

Fun fact, I've been using The Mighty Mollusk (or some similar variations) as an online handle for a bit over 20 years now. I don't even remember the whole joke it started from anymore.

[Theodric]

I usually go by different names on different sites so it's harder for people to find me outside of FFXIV. Since I generally post a lot on the forums of the games I play it helps keep each 'chapter' of my online life separate from one another.

It also helps fend off some of my more zealous 'fans'.

Yep, I'm planning to go into full lockdown mode and I've made sure everyone in my FC is aware that no spoilers should go in FC chat, keep it all to the spoiler channel on our discord - and spoiler cover MSQ stuff in specific, just to be double triple safe. I'll be doing MSQ first, then picking up Reaper on my alt to try out. Eventually, I'll get around to Sage on my second bun boy... December's gonna be a busy month for me, and not just because of retail work. ; v;

I also need to finish MSQ asap in part due to our RP story arc needing to be planned out for next year, as it's meant to coincide with much of the world happenings during EW. Here's hoping I won't flub too badly on strapping into the DM seat for the first time.

The delay did provide me some time to finish up a couple things on my WoL before release, at least, as well as get a couple extra weeks to enjoy SMTV!
