sprouts, sprouts everywhere

[Aldora]

It's been a while since i've seen this many sprouts in the game and i'm loving it. There are more interactions in the city states as well as in the duties themselves. Players asking questions about things they getting confused about or running a duty for the first time.

Personally, i'm having fun again while running older Alliance raids, where it's not simply "burn the boss down and move on" or complain when we get a wipe when we try to push a phase and fail "the DPS check". Or players getting lost in Haukke Manor, because they don't know that they need to go to the cellar after the first boss and get back to the entrance after the 2nd. It's nice to see people learn content again, like we did when the content was still new.

I'm almost done with the things i want to do before Endwalker is released and i'm thinking about trying to get groups together for Minimal iLvl runs, so that they can get to experience more of a duty.

It does feel cool and I am considering returning back to the Mentor program to give some members advice. I think the last time I have seen so many players was during the open beta.

Only downside I've seen a few times is that a friend of mine sometimes can't get gold or silver rank at low level fates because for some reason there are too many players clearing them too quickly.
And they've had players constantly targetting the same quest or hunt log targets as them on purpose, which personally I never experienced myself.

Probably because those other players are doing the same quests or have the same targets on their hunting log.

I've run into myself on a new character I'm leveling. It's not a problem. Once the player has what they need for their quest or hunting log, they move on and there are usually enough creatures you're not stuck waiting (GC hunting log entries being an occasional exception).

Square Enix literally ran out of codes xD

Only seems to be a problem on the EU stores. Could still order on the NA store when I checked.

It was only down for about half a day or so and it put you on a waiting list. Also you couldn't buy PS4 codes either, according to Kotaku :P

/pat the sprouts!

NA servers blinking green and red, longer queues for a normally 'lull' period, high twitch viewers, extra deaths in roulettes.



Wonder if they'll be able to retain some of that momentum into the expansion. If so, good luck logging in. Lol.

Hope the team is flying high
