Patch 2.4 is drawing near! Scheduled for October, with only two weeks left in the month, I don’t know about you all but I’m looking forward to exciting new battles. I’ll be returning to the game in force with patch 2.4, as I know many of you will be. See you in Eorzea fellow Swaggerati!

Fellow Swaggerati, I interrupt your regularly scheduled programming to bring you a brief announcement unrelated to Final Fantasy XIV. Many of our members are friends in real life and play other games, but there are no official branches of Swagger in any other games. That will change come September 9th with the release of Destiny.

A few of us will be playing together, along with some of our friends on PSN, and we will be forming Swagger in whatever capacity player organizations might be created. For those worried: none of us have any plans to quit FFXIV; and although you may see a dip in our online activity for a week or two after Destiny launch, we will mostly be continuing to play as normal. However, for those who do plan to be playing Destiny, specifically those planning to play on PSN, and PlayStation 4 primarily, you are welcome to join us, continue to the member’s only section of the forum where you can find my PSN name and add me.

See you in Eorzea!

As some of you may well know, in the interest of clearing content in a timely manner and opening up that content to the rest of our members; I, Ramsey have been exploring the possibility of a static group that will work towards clearing the Second Coil of Bahamut. Expectations and eligibility for this group will differ from normal Swagger-RSVP events; however, once a floor is deemed “farm” status by the static, that floor will be run via the RSVP system.

The ultimate goal of this group would be to put all floors on farm status as quickly as possible, at which point the static would for all intents and purposes disband and members would attend via the RSVP system as usual. This is an exploratory measure and if successful would be implemented again for future contents. If you’re interested in potentially helping out or if you just want to see what this is all about, head over to the forum post and check out the full details. (Members Only.)
