It's that time of the year again where anyone who's anyone with a Fantasia addiction can save themselves a little bit of money or (and let's be honest, this is more likely) get more Fantasias for the same amount of money!

Plus there'll be a ton of stuff like emotes, mounts and some glamours on sale as well, so if there's anything you've been eyeing off recently, now is the time to get it on the cheap! (Well, not right now, the game and the shop are still down for maintenance... but soon!)

We're going to lose a couple of hours tonight due to maintenance, so it's time for this week's reset recap! Assuming you didn't get completely hammered by the DDoSing over the last couple of days, what are you proud of getting done this week in Eorzea?

Network Technical Difficulties Caused by DDoS Attacks (Aug. 24) | The Lodestone

Follow the link to the Lodestone for the specifics however we've got a 7 hour maintenance planned for next week just before reset for some hot fixes and infrastructure maintenance. Make sure to check your local time and get any retainers, airships or submarines sent out before maintenance starts!

And don't forget all the hunt monsters will be up after the game comes back online so expect some A trains and S rank hunts happening after maintenance.

The latest iteration of The Rising is starting next week on August 27th! Get yourself a cute Krile minion and some table lamps while you fulfil whatever task the Wandering Minstrel has for you this year!

And say hi to Yoshi-P and the dev team when you see them, okay?

Lemmy is still a growing platform, and doesn't have the same number of people posting as a platform like Reddit. So let's try and change that! Today is weekly reset day, so post below about something you've managed to accomplish during the last week!

As someone who never played during an expansion launch, how hard are the latest Savage raids? I’ve been afraid to try them, I don’t have an active FC so I’d be queuing and I don’t want to be a burden. I can run the normal raids and not die or even get hit by the mechanics the whole run, but not sure how big of a jump up in difficulty they are mechanics wise.

So nearly 2 months into Dawntrail's launch, the probationary data centers that were set up to help balance traffic in the post launch surge are being closed.

Now that we're moving into a more normal post launch environment, how have you found the launch? If you played during Endwalker, did you experience similar queue times this time around or did you have a much smoother login experience?

I know I haven't seen anywhere near as many complaints about login problems this time around, although I'm also on the Materia data center, so we don't exactly have a large population to begin with!

Share your thoughts! Did SE learn from Endwalker and fix the problems with their login servers this time around do you think?

This thread will have spoilers on the first raid tier that released with patch 7.01 so don't click into the thread if you haven't done it yet or want to avoid spoilers on the new fights.

The main change in 7.01 is the release of the first raid tier (not the Savage, that'll be in two weeks with 7.05), and also a bunch of potency tweaks, so see if your jobs are impacted.

Farming now PvP, it is obvious how the casual mode absolutely needs matchmaking with a hidden skill rating. The outcome of the match is decided by specific people in the team and there are idlers, afk'ers and other not so great players which could be filtered out had it matchmaking.

Did people think we'd go to a whole new continent and not have any worldbuilding? Or did they want another high-stakes world ending threat for a high-adrenaline story?
