May's campaigns.
So it looks like this.
May 11th to May 16th
EXP/CP Campaign
Incursion Campaign
Dark Matter Campaign
Domain Invasion Campaigns x2
Omen Double Light Campaign
Dynamis-Divergence Statue Campaign (Plus)
May 16th to May 28th
EXP/CP Campaign (Carries over from before)
Bayld Campaign
Wildskeeper Campaign
Trust NPC Boost Campaign
Dark Matter Campaign (Carries over from before)
Omen Job Card Campaign
Dynamis-Divergence Statue Campaign (Plus) (Carries over from before)
How colossal of a *** up is dienamis that they're running the dienamis campaign -again- so soon, and for more than half of may. Not only that, they're improving the current campaign because it clearly wasn't enough.

I love the concept of the higher levels cheers, a small benefit from participating in content that isn't normally about a gear grind. Wish they would of added a similar system to Monstrosity, like if you max out the level of certain upgraded monster classes you get to select a stat boost to carry on your character. Could apply this to many tiers of content that aren't gear driven, give people a reason to complete them.

Yeah totally bombed event, not a soul doing it anywhere, no gear is being upgraded and the market is totally empty of all upgrade materials.
Yep dead event, throw it out so people can go back to farming Aeonics with SMN's and standing around town showing off their never used gear.

I kind of like the cheer system too, but the cost for switching between the higher tier ones is waaaay too expensive. I'd love to have different cheers for when I'm soloing with trusts and when I'm doing party stuff, but even with a good sized stockpile of stars, I'd run out in a few weeks.

That's by design, your not supposed to change your cheer as often as you change gear or jobs. The system is setup for you to change about once per week.

@Ruaumoko: The first batch of campaigns actually also come back for three days at the end of the month (28-31).
@Eiryl: They are probably realizing how insane it was to require the equivalent of 2400 singles per piece of equipment to upgrade from +1 to +3 and that the early loot tables simply can not cover player needs. This Plus version campaign sounds like we'll have a decent shot at getting medals (100pc) from statues as personal loot, which actually should give a lot more players a decent shot at upgrading things than before. Whether or not the gear is good for your jobs or not matters less if the cost to upgrade was limited to the Delve/Vagary mats alone.

But you are supposed to have the same opinion as Saevel. Didn't you hear he's building an echo chamber?
By Afania 2018-04-27 13:35:23
Yes, and that's my beef with the system.
It depends on how casual I suppose....I do group content once every 1 to 2 weeks so by the time I "play ffxi for real" I already have more than enough stars since I still log on for 5 to 10 min everyday for mog garden.
Also unless I'm shooting(rarely) or fight extremely dangerous NM or Amnesia NM I rarely need to change cheer.

It's their payment processing company, likely something tax related given the time of year. Not super surprising I guess.. One thing tho...

Promoting soloing ambuscade. SMH.

Eh, the increase to ambu points made it so the line isn't long other than the first few days after patch. While I don't approve of them promoting them soloing it's not nearly as bad as it used to be.
But also hell yes to trusts being stronger.

That'd be worth finishing the final piece for, maybe.

What is an Omen double light campaign?
From what I have seen. You get double Omens per kill. If you land on a bonus floor amount of Omens (666/777... are there more???) then the number will lock in and you will no longer receive omens until you get to a bonus floor.
Edit. Double as in 2 rolls.
Ie. You find 665 omens on the sweet water blah blah
You find 28 omens on the sweet water blah blah.
If the first roll is lucky omen number then you will not get the second roll.

I don't claim to speak SEngrish, but this might mean Omega mount acquisition might become disabled? Does that even make sense?

They are removing the ANV Keys :(

Yeah, ANV keys were always going to be limited to the anniversary event duration.
I would assume that the "target mobs" refers to the No Time to be Sheepish and Crustacean King objectives, since those have special NMs.

So I wonder how they will play it. Leave the objectives up, change those 2 special mobs, and give SP keys?
Change to 16th ANV ROE objectives (lol)
Totally remove the category? (but why "change target mobs")
I really would like to stop "having" to do all those anv objectives for keys for the non-existant chance at an ashera.

Can't overstate this enough. I want it to go away but don't. It's become so routine I won't know what to do with my time haha.

If by "stronger" we mean they survive more than 1 AOE from an NM, then sure. If this means they are increasing Qultada's acc and he will spam Savage and Burning Blades in between my huge 4-step SC twice as often as before (he ALWAYS does this), huge thumbs down. During that time when he had perfect accuracy, he was almost unusable for a melee dps soloing apex, since all he ever did was ruin your skillchains. I'm not looking forward to that, if they give them something like 1200 acc.
