A Place to Hang Our Hats... and Helms.

Shadex De'marr posted Nov 1, 13 - FFXIV, MMO

So information continues to pour in from Square regarding the upcoming release of the Free Company housing system. The most recent live broadcast weighs in at a little over two and a half hours and covers a veritable mountain of information including upcoming adjustments for both Warriors and Dragoons. I won't spoil the surprises but I will say after seeing all three neighborhoods the property outside Limsa Lominsa is going to go fast! At least we will finally have a use for all those swimsuits we bought. From workshops to our own vendors to the ability to build our own airship the list of amazing features is just too long to do justice. Read all about it here.

On a side note, the Libra Eorzea app. launched today for Android users. A complete database for items, quests, achievements, and characters all it is missing is the ability to chat with in game friends the way the Rift app. did. Perhaps they will add it.

Community Splash Page

I will be developing a splash page for the site in the coming weeks that will be similar in design to the FFXIV wallpaper seen here. My request is that each of our members puts on their best and most heroic outfit, stats don't matter so long as you think you look good. (no bikinis). If you are a dedicated crafter or gatherer put on your best crafting outfit, some of those are amazing. Then take some screens of yourself from various angles doing heroic stuff similar to the ones you see in the wallpaper and email them to me. I will then be taking the subjects out of their backgrounds and compiling them into the collage for the main page. I would also like to see everyone emblazon the free company logo on their outfit as well as I will be incorporating it into the final product. Thank you for your participation and for making Sanctum the single greatest community in online gaming.

All Saint's Wake and PvP

Shadex De'marr posted Oct 14, 13 - FFXIV, MMO

While I was not a huge fan of the fetish swimsuit extravaganza that was the Moonfire Faire my love of Halloween has rekindled my hopes regarding the upcoming All Saint's Wake event slated to start October 18th. Running until November 1st the event will of course include all sorts of amazing decorations throughout the major cities as well as quests given by troupes of Shifty Thespians for spooky new outfits.

Also coming soon to Eorzea will be the first implementation of PvP with the Wolves' Den Arena! A nod it seems to the infamous Sea Wolves clan it is set somewhere off the coasts of Eorzea in a rustic pirate haven. Of course the design looks amazing and the press release video from Comic Con beautiful. Too bad it holds absolutely zero reality to actual PvP gameplay. I mean come on... the White Mage and the Scholar both lived more than 3 seconds. Anyone that has ever PvP'd knows that isn't happening. Here, you be the judge.

FFXIV: Coming Changes

Shadex De'marr posted Oct 11, 13 - FFXIV, MMO

Just wanted to update everyone on some items that will be heading your way in the near future. An announcement regarding next week's server maintenance to take place Oct. 14th from 8:00PM-2:00AM PST include:

Equipment bind changes
Difficulty adjustments to level 50 instances
Increases to Tomestones of Philosophy distribution
Increase in Diremite drops

Also, in news is a change to player vulnerability during the Raise animation as well as confirmation that utilization of post processing applications to increase the look for FFXIV are not against the ToS.

So other than losing an entire play night next Monday, looks like good things are coming... just no mention of anything involving the continuing RMT maelstrom.

Earring Rewards to Arrive on Oct. 15th

Shadex De'marr posted Oct 10, 13 - FFXIV, MMO

Incase you were not already aware, every server bested the Titan Challenge during the Tokyo Gameshow this years. As a reward we will all be receiving the highly fashionable Cactuar and Bomb earrings. Itinerant Moogles will be around the world of Eorzea starting on the 15th through until the launch of 2.1 selling the earrings for 1gil so that everyone can afford them. Well, everyone except for anyone level 50 because we know they don't have that much left after repairs. :p
