Yeah, it clarifies it at the end, but I ignored that because I trusted the main portion to be correct. I didn't know things like increased capacity points and Domain Invasion spam were only going to be for one day, and wasn't even aware of them in the first place for a good while. Then I thought, "Oh hey, whatever that thing they're doing on the 15th, they'll probably give more info about it when that comes. But since today is the 14th..." Nope. Well at least now I know to be on the lookout for random, undisclosed campaigns going on during the 14th of every month. This is why people need free education. clearlyamule said: » Odin.Drakenv said: » Suminagashi said: » I feel like SE could have handled this a lot better.

Yes, that's right, try to discredit my post with unrelated conjecture. I don't see how a well-written few paragraphs translates to being uneducated, but my point still stands that there was a distinct lack of information on SE's part about this new monthly event. Forcing players to discover which campaigns are involved might work for, say, a month-long thing. But when it's only for a single day, that doesn't leave much time for players to make use of it, assuming they don't already have a full schedule that day.
I don't think anyone is going to disagree with you that the release of this new event was shitty, but there's no point in bitching about it, is there?
For one, you should know that this is a Japanese MMO. For another, you should know that the timing of this event coincides with Japanese midnight, so it would be safe to assume that, while it says the 15th, those of us in the Western Hemisphere would experience it most on the 14th. Just be glad that they gave us an event like this. It shows that SE hasn't given up on this game at least. Offline
Thing was though only a little of it was on point. The part about them not telling us anything sure it's been brought up a few times.
But that gets greatly overshadowed by how many times you harp about it being the "wrong" date. Which shows either a complete lack of understanding on how time zones work or a complete lack of understanding of what time zone a Japanese company would use for the main header Odin.Foxmulder said: » LennartHK said: » Got a friend's mule character every single Voidwatch NM, key item and mission done yesterday and holy crap what a nostalgia trip lol from killing everything once with capped lights: 43 crystal prefects 250 ores 50 goldsmithing gemstones 1000 logs 5 gear or weapon drops sounds about the same consistency, lol.

So I wrote a wall of text to explain the whole thing from my position, then it occurred to me that no one cares what my reasons are. I'll go ahead and leave it in spoilers for anyone with the patience to berate me some more, but I mostly just wanted to get it off my chest before departing from this thread for good. There are some things I will pull from it and say here, though. Thank you for your words Kingnobody. Not reading the entire news post is my own fault, and I fully admit that, even if I had my reasons. To everyone else, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that you have friendlier dispositions more often than shown here. Try to have a good day, yeah?
So, it's that time again™
It's FFXI's "time of the month" where everything flows freely for one day. So, what is it going to be this time? Another "let's do everything for one day, and laugh at those who can't do it all" day? I'm hoping for domain invasion because I'm a scrub and can't get that gear the real way haha. So I'll take a break from voidwatch for a day to go do that lol.

I'm guessing it's going to be the same "unlock every campaign" button turned on, for 24 hours. Just a guess though. They could kind of do something cool like allow free Omen visits for 24 hours! That'd be cool.
I have 40 Sp Goblin Key's I'm waiting to unload They change or add new stuff that you can get with the Gobbiedial key sometimes?

Last month it was all of the active campaigns at once, which included the special dial campaign, which gives better results of spoils. I happened to get a few Su3 pieces last month. I'm hoping for the same, or better (Dagon Breastplate)
Obviously irrelevant this month, but if they do opt to go with all campaigns open for 24 hours each month, gonna have to save canteens for the 14th every time... loving the extra cards.

I had considered if they would accidentally turn on the Omen card campaign today, for an enhanced effect. So instead of double cards, triple. Not likely, but praying SE spills the coffee on the equipment. Offline

Doe the campaign have an exact start/end time?
Yes, starts on the 15th every month (JP time) and ends when the clock strikes midnight. If you were a US east coast player the time would be 11am on the 14th to 11am on the 15th. As of this post it will begin in about 15 minutes.

Everyone is camped around Oseem. When the campaign timer hit, checked NPC.
No techniques. Sadfacing already. Google Translate:

Three Kingdoms implies Bastok, Sandy, Windy I would presume. Checking now to see if they released Vinipata to Gustaberg.
