FURNITURE HYPE!

PSU Yoshida interview - more roleplay related elements planned

Thu, 09 Nov 2017 16:25:33 +0000

http://www.psu.com/feature/34640/intervi...re-content

Quote:PSU: Inside of Final Fantasy XIV there are a number of players that categorize themselves as role players, who act out scenarios within the game as their character. During patch 3.4 the â€œRPâ€ tag was implemented to let others know that we are interested in role playing scenarios. What other ideas are the developers considering to help these players become more immersed within the world of FFXIV?

Naoki Yoshida:
Including the new Performance Actions for bard, which will released with Patch 4.15, we have a solid roadmap of what roleplay-related elements we will be implementing in future updates. Similar to Performance Actions, we are continuing to put effort into implementing features that allow players the chance to create their own type of fun within the game. I hope that you enjoy these features and use them to enhance in-game roleplaying even further!

Cautious hype?

Treasure Hunt
A new area within the Lost Canals of Uznair, the Hidden Canals of Uznair, has been added.
Entering the Hidden Canals of Uznair

Treasure coffers in the Lost Canals of Uznair will, on occasion, yield a timeworn thief's map which will reveal a new location on your map. Players can then use the general action "Dig" at the location shown to find a teleportation ward that leads to the Hidden Canals of Uznair.
Progression

Treasure chests located within are armed with traps, which, when triggered, will release enemies from their cages. Upon defeating them, the player who caused the teleportation ward to appear will be able to open the treasure chest and retrieve the reward and a Vault Key within.

The Vault Key can be used to open one of the three available doors. Should your party be lucky enough to choose the correct one, you will be allowed to progress through six subsequent chambers, and eventually fight your way to the final chamber.
* If an incorrect door is chosen, players will be removed from the Hidden Canals of Uznair.
* In the event the party is defeated, all players will be removed from the Hidden Canals of Uznair and cannot re-enter the instance.
Several additions and adjustments have been made to the rewards available in the Lost Canals of Uznair.
Grand and Free Companies
The following additions and adjustments have been made to adventurer squadrons:

Â Â The amount of EXP gained in missions by unit members has been increased.
Â Â The difficulty of Flagged Mission: Voidsent Elimination, which grants Squadron Rank 2 upon completion, has been reduced.
Â Â The level cap for squadron members has been raised to 60.
Â Â * Squadron members cannot exceed the level of the player's highest class or job.
Â Â "Change Classes" and "Confirm Chemistry" can now be accessed by speaking with each squadron member. These features were previously only available via the regimen board.

Command missions have been added, allowing players to enter instanced dungeons alongside three unit members.

While unit members have their own free will, responding as the situation demands, they can be given orders to guide their actions.
Requirements

Â Â Squadron Rank 2 or above
Â Â Listen to the squadron sergeant's explanation about new missions

Eligible Dungeons

* Players must have unlocked these dungeons prior to entering on command missions.

Â Â Â Â Halatali The Thousand Maws of Toto-Rak Brayflox's Longstop The Stone Vigil The Wanderer's Palace

Forming a Party

To start a command mission, a party of one tank, one healer, and two DPS is required. This includes the player's role.

1. Select "Command missions" after speaking with the squadron sergeant.

2. Select a command mission from the list.

3. Choose the unit members you wish to take, and select "Deploy."

4. You will now enter the command mission with the selected unit members.
Giving Orders

The Orders hotbar will appear upon entering a command mission, and includes the various Order actions.

The available Orders are as follows:

Â Â Engage

Tells your unit to attack the targeted enemy.

Â Â Disengage

Disengage tells your unit to break off combat and regroup near you. While Disengage is in effect, it will be replaced with the order Re-engage. The Disengage status can be lifted by issuing either the Engage or Re-engage order.

Â Â Re-engage

Lifts the Disengage status.

Â Â Execute Limit Break

Selecting Execute Limit Break causes all unit members to perform the Ungarmax limit break when the casting time has ended.
This costs one level of the limit gauge.
Ungarmax deals single-target damage and grants a buff that increases damage dealt by each party member.

Orders can be set to your other hotbars by selecting them from the Orders interface found within Actions & Traits. There is also an action for toggling the Orders hotbar, which can be set to hotbars.
Battle Tactics

Battle tactics govern unit members' behavior during a command mission. New battle tactics may be acquired by completing command missions. One battle tactic can be assigned to each unit member.

Speak with a unit member and select Display Orders from the enlistment papers.

Selecting Display Orders opens the Specify Battle Tactics
* Initially, only the Independent battle tactic is available.
Glamours can be applied to the gear of squadron members whose level is 51 or above.

This requires a glamour prism.
* Glamours must first be unlocked by the player before this action can be used.
Casting Glamours

Providing you have the necessary gear and glamour prism, speak with a squadron member and select Outfit from the enlistment papers. The glamour prism will be consumed upon use, but no gear will be lost in the process.
* It is not required to dispel existing glamours from a piece of gear before casting a different glamour.
* Gear used to cast glamours will be bound upon use of a glamour prism.

Selecting Apply Glamours after speaking with the Squadron Outfitter will start the process.

Select the gear to which the glamour will be applied, then the gear used to cast the glamour. Finally, select Confirm to consume the glamour prism and apply the glamour.
The following items can now be purchased in exchange for Grand Company seals:
New craftable items have been added to the Company Workshop.
New rewards have been added to Exploratory Voyages.
Because alliances can now be formed through the Party Finder, entrance to the Diadem with an alliance via company workshops has been temporarily suspended.
Housing

* In light of the recent hurricanes in the North American region, house demolition has been temporarily suspended.
Plots can be purchased in Shirogane.

As with the three residential districts of Eorzea, Shirogane is divided into 12 wards, each with its own subdivision. Estates in the Shirogane district have a Far-Eastern aesthetic by default.

The relocation feature has been added for housing.

Relocation allows players to move their estate hall and accompanying furnishings to a new plot. The destination can be situated in any residential area and be of any size.
* When a free company estate hall is relocated, any private chambers present will be relocated automatically.
* It is not possible to use the relocation feature to change from an individual to a free company estate hall, or vice versa.
* Apartments cannot be relocated.
* An explanation of the relocation feature has been added to the resident caretaker in each residential district.
* After relocation the plot is locked for 5 minutes, during which time no relocations can be performed involving that plot.
Eligibility for Relocation
Estate Type Eligible Player
Free company Authorized to purchase/relinquish plots
Individual Estate owner (does not include tenants)
Relocating to a New Plot

To begin the process, inspect the placard located at the entrance of the destination plot and select Purchase Land. A prompt for relocation will appear, allowing you to move your estate immediately after the purchase is complete. You are not required to relinquish ownership of your old plot prior to relocation. In the case of company estates and estate sharing, all players with access to the estate will receive a notification when the process is complete.
* Only free company members who have been granted authority to purchase and relinquish land can relocate company estates.
* Players who are inside an estate at the time of relocation will be automatically moved outside.

Â Â Interact with the placard and select Purchase Land.

Â Â Choose Private Residence Relocation or Free Company Estate Relocation.

Â Â Once the relocation fee has been accepted, the process is complete.

Cost of Relocation

When purchasing a plot for relocation, 30% of the minimum value of your old plot will be applied towards the price of the new one.

(Cost of Relocation) = (Destination Plot Price) â€“ (30% of Old Plot Price)

* In the event reimbursement for the old plot exceeds the price of the destination plot, the cost of relocation will be waived. Please note, however, you will not receive gil for the amount that exceeds the cost of the destination plot.
Furnishings

Upon relocation, placed furnishings including those normally discarded after removal will be put in a storeroom at the destination plot. See below for further details about storerooms.

While the limit of storerooms is normally dependent on plot size, the limit for all plots will temporarily increase as follows to accommodate relocation:

Â Â Indoor Furnishings: 400 Items
Â Â Outdoor Furnishings: 40 Items

Provided that the numbers of furnishings is within these limits, the relocation can be completed even if they exceed the storage limits of the new location. The furnishings will be temporarily kept in the storeroom of the new plot. The furnishing storage limits when relocating are the same as the placement limits for a large estate hall. Therefore, if a player relocates immediately after patch 4.1 and does not use the storeroom prior to the relocation being completed, it is not possible to exceed the limits, regardless of the size of the estate hall.

Please note that chocobo stables and miniature aetherytes will not count toward this limit, as they will be automatically placed in the garden of the destination plot.
* The teleport destination for miniature aetherytes will be automatically changed to that of destination plots.
* Private chambers and company workshops will be moved in their entirety and retain their state.
* Additional items cannot be placed in the storeroom after relocation while exceeding the normal storage limit.
Exterior Fixtures

Default exterior fixtures will be altered to match the new residential area and plot size, in the event that they are different. Unique exterior fixtures (e.g. Paissa House Wall) will be carried over to the new plot.

"Example: Moving from a cottage in Mist to a house in the Goblet."

Â Â Old Plot Exterior: Riviera Cottage Wall (Composite)
Â Â Destination Plot Exterior: Oasis House Wall (Composite)

Â Â Old Plot Exterior: Paissa Cottage Walls
Â Â Destination Plot Exterior: Paissa House Walls

Interior Fixtures

Interior fixtures will remain intact, unless the relocation results in an estate hall with fewer floors. In this case, the fixtures will be lost alongside the floor.
Miscellaneous

The following will be carried over in their entirety when relocating to a new plot:

Â Â Â Â Private Chambers Workshops Airships Stabled Chocobos Shared Estate Settings

Sale of Old Plots

Once relocation is complete, old plots will be made available for purchase to other players.
Notes

Â Â Relocation will not be available for estates that have not been entered by free company members or the estate owner for 30 days.
Â Â Relocation resets the auto-demolition counter, in the same way as a free company member or estate owner entering the estate.
Â Â To confirm whether relocation is possible with the current number of placed interior and exterior furnishings, please check Storeroom Status in the Estate Settings, under Housing.

A storeroom for furnishings has been added to estates, apartments, and private chambers.

The storeroom is a new inventory space designed specifically for housing-related items, including those that cannot be returned to your regular inventory once placed.

Â Â Outdoor and indoor furnishings have separate storeroom spaces.
Â Â Furnishings will be placed in the storeroom upon relocating an estate.
Â Â Furnishings must be removed from the storeroom before an estate can be removed.

* Relocation of an estate is not required to access storerooms.
* Furnishings that are normally irretrievable can be placed in the storeroom. However, they will be discarded if you attempt to move them to your inventory.
* Culinarian furnishings that grant attribute bonuses can be placed in the storeroom even if they have been used. They may only be returned to a playerâ€™s inventory if they have never been used.
* Plants will not grow when a garden patch or flowering pot has been placed in the storeroom. Furthermore, aetherial stands cannot gain a charge while placed in the storeroom.

Storerooms and Relocation

When relocating an estate, the storehouse limit is increased to 400 indoor furnishings and 40 outdoor furnishings regardless of estate size. This will, for example, allow players to store all placed furnishings from a mansion before relocating to a cottage. Please be advised, however, that relocating to a smaller estate will reduce your storeroom limit. In such cases, additional items cannot be added to the storeroom while exceeding the newly reduced limit.
The Store subcommand is now available when selecting furnishings.

Shirogane Housing, Relocation, and Suspension of Housing Demolition!

Thu, 14 Sep 2017 13:36:34 +0000

Shirogane Housing

Starting 4.1, housing in Shirogane will be available. Just as with the other zones, Shirogane will have 12 wards, each with its own subdivision.

Relocation

(http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/...2c3c50fc74)

Relocation allows players to move their estate hall and accompanying furnishings to a new plot. The destination can be situated in any residential area and be of any size.

Relocating to a New Plot

To begin the process, inspect the placard located at the entrance of the destination plot and select Purchase Land. A prompt for relocation will appear, allowing you to move your estate immediately after the purchase is complete. You are not required to relinquish ownership of your old plot prior to relocation. In the case of company estates and estate sharing, all players with access to the estate will receive a notification when the process is complete.

* Only free company members who have been granted authority to purchase and relinquish land can relocate company estates.
* Players who are inside an estate at the time of relocation will be automatically moved outside.

Cost of Relocation

When purchasing a plot for relocation, 30% of the minimum value of your old plot will be applied towards the price of the new one.

(Cost of Relocation) = (Destination Plot Price) â€“ (30% of Old Plot Price)

* In the event reimbursement for the old plot exceeds the price of the destination plot, the cost of relocation will be waived. Please note, however, you will not receive gil for the amount that exceeds the cost of the destination plot.

Furnishings

Upon relocation, placed furnishings including those normally discarded after removal will be put in a storeroom at the destination plot. See below for further details about storerooms.

While the limit of storerooms is normally dependent on plot size, the limit for all plots will temporarily increase as follows to accommodate relocation:

Indoor Furnishings : 400 items

Outdoor Furnishings : 40 items

This limit is based on the maximum number of indoor and outdoor furnishings allowed for large plots to ensure players can immediately relocate upon the release of patch 4.1. However, you will not be able to complete relocation if the total number of items placed both in your estate and stored in your storeroom exceeds 400 indoor furnishings and 40 outdoor furnishings.

Please note that chocobo stables and miniature aetherytes will not count toward this limit, as they will be automatically placed in the garden of the destination plot.

* The teleport destination for miniature aetherytes will be automatically changed to that of destination plots.
* Private chambers and company workshops will be moved in their entirety and retain their state.
* Additional items cannot be placed in the storeroom after relocation while exceeding the normal storage limit.

Exterior Fixtures

Default exterior fixtures will be altered to match the new residential area and plot size, in the event that they are different. Unique exterior fixtures (e.g. Paissa House Wall) will be carried over to the new plot.

Example:
Moving from a cottage in Mist to a house in the Goblet.

Old Plot Exterior: Riviera Cottage Wall (Composite)
Destination Plot Exterior: Oasis House Wall (Composite)

Interior Fixtures

Interior fixtures will remain intact, unless the relocation results in an estate hall with fewer floors. In this case, the fixtures will be lost alongside the floor.

Miscellaneous

The following will be carried over in their entirety when relocating to a new plot:

Private Chambers / Workshops / Airships / Stabled Chocobos / Shared Estate Settings
Sale of Old Plots

Once relocation is complete, old plots will be made available for purchase to other players.

Storerooms

Patch 4.1 will see the introduction of storerooms, which offer additional storage space for estate halls, apartments, and private chambers. Furnishings normally discarded upon removal can also be placed in storerooms to be used again at a later time.

* Relocation of an estate is not required to access storerooms.
* Furnishings normally discarded upon removal cannot be returned to a playerâ€™s inventory. They must be placed directly from the storeroom.
* Culinarian furnishings that grant attribute bonuses can only be returned to a playerâ€™s inventory if they have never been used.

Storeroom Limit

The number of items allowed in a storeroom is equal to the number of furnishings that can be placed in the estate.
Private Chambers/Apartments:
Indoor Furnishings: 100
Outdoor Furnishings: -

Cottages
Indoor Furnishings: 200
Outdoor Furnishings: 20

Houses
Indoor Furnishings: 300
Outdoor Furnishings: 30

Mansions
Indoor Furnishings: 400
Outdoor Furnishings: 40

* When relocating an estate, the storehouse limit is increased to 400 indoor furnishings and 40 outdoor furnishings regardless of estate size.

Changes in Preferred/Congested worlds.

Tue, 18 Jul 2017 09:16:21 +0000

It seems the incentives have helped and people have moved around quite a bit, so SE has changed which worlds are considered Preferred/Congested.

Of particular interest to people around here would likely be that Mateus is no longer a preferred world.

Shirogane to be released 4.1x

Tue, 04 Jul 2017 01:57:36 +0000

https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/...sed_in_41/

http://game.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/int...65476.html

Famitsu: Information on Shirogane was missing in the PLL, but when will it be implemented?
Yoshida: It's a while away, so you won't have to worry about that yet.
Famitsu: In other words, do you mean to release it in patch 4.2?
Yoshida: No, I won't wait until patch 4.2. I think it will be somewhere in patch 4.1.

This puts it late September to sometime in October.

Temporary Suspension of World Transfer to the Omega World

Fri, 30 Jun 2017 12:51:04 +0000

http://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/...29598ee32d

With the help of new and existing players, the number of active players on the Omega World is now on the same level as the other Worlds on the Chaos data centre. Thank you very much for your cooperation.Â

With that said, we will be temporarily suspending all transfers to the Omega World to prevent any further congestion.Â

Additionally, if we continue to see an increase in population on the Omega World, we may change the status to â€œCongestedâ€. Please note that once the status is changed to â€œCongestedâ€, players on the Omega World will no longer receive the EXP bonus.Â

For more details on the balancing of World population, please view the topics below.Â

Simultaneous Logout Measures

Wed, 28 Jun 2017 11:25:59 +0000

http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/...aba1c52976

Quote:We are experiencing a situation where several Worlds are consistently reaching the maximum number of players that can be logged into the game during peak hours. This has led to extended login queues for players to log in.

In order to ease congestion issues at launch, we have placed a measure to automatically log out players who have been idle for 30 minutes. However, we have noticed a number of players using methods to circumvent this automatic logout. This has created a situation where the login queue cannot move forward during periods of heavy congestion.

As such, weâ€™ll be instituting a temporary measure that will log all characters out simultaneously across all Worlds on a data center once a day. Announcement for when this will take place will be made one hour prior via in-game system message. Please note that you will be logged out of the game even while inside of instances or duties.

Players will not be able to log back into the game for about 10 minutes while this is being processed.

As a reminder, weâ€™re offering special incentives to those who transfer from a Congested World to New/Preferred Worlds. These incentives include the waiving of transfer fees, and 10 gold chocobo feathers which can be exchanged for in-game items. We appreciate your consideration of these offers.

Learn more about New World and World population balancing incentives: http://sqex.to/iw6

We apologize for the inconvenience the congestion has been causing our players, and thank you for your understanding and continued support.

Because SE's preferred solution is a rusty hatchet.

... I kinda want one. However, I'm worried because I'm on a big reoccurring payment plan and I don't know if the pay date falls within this window!

Is there any way to check and make sure, for myself and whoever else might have such a payment plan in place? I'm not seeing anything, but then again I kinda just glanced over it.
