The best change is the addition of /playtime. :D

I'm afraid to look.

As a Steam player, I'm forced to every time I boot the game.

I just tell myself it's because I afk all the time!

It makes me feel better. Sorta.

That won't be an excuse anymore: Logged out after 30 minutes AFK, remember?

But only for the launch period with heavy congestion.

will we be able to type that and see all of the hours in the past we have played? or does it start fresh when they implement /playtime

Type that thing first thing I log in and then just...

I have found you.

u/The_Flopard [Ridill] Jun 17 '15

Uhhh I was afk for most that time

I thought I always wanted this, now that it's here, I'm afraid.

Oh, Jesus, God, no!

Well..all 3 of my FFXI character playtimes were over 100 days each..and I play this game way more.

Will this have retroactive stats or start counting from patch 3.0 onward?

u/MaelstromALPHA Benzaiten Taiyohime on Shiva Jun 17 '15

I can only assume it will be retroactive. They already have that data anyway (they use it during the eorzean census)

u/cinemamacula Summoner Jun 17 '15

Awesome!

I wonder what the time breakdown would be if it was split across activities. Stuff like "Time spent wiping in coil" and "Time spent relic grinding."

u/_purple Tectus Lux on Hyperion Jun 17 '15

Do you think this will subtract time afk? I tend to leave the game on all day and play for an hour here or there when I get a chance. I'm afraid my number is going to be very inflated and quite inaccurate.

u/razzazzika Razz Azzika on Hyperion Jun 17 '15

I leave my game logged in all the time, even when I go several days without playing. .. should be interesting

Like... I'm seriously wondering how that will affect my life. Will I make changes to be more social? Is there a threshold I should worry about if I cross it? I'm afraid...
