lol. winner.
Started playing this and have made it to level 13 archer in a few hours. Would like to join the carpentry guild but it says i have to complete the level 10 quest of my current class
Which requirements am i missing seeing as i'm level 13?
Does it mean all level 10 quests must first be completed?

Glad I got to do Brayflox before the end of phase 3. I feel satisfied.
Bring on phase 4.

I've heard a lot of people complain about the latency problems, however I have yet to encounter any lag at all during this phase. Maybe I've just been lucky and my connection has always managed to stay lag free, but whatever the case, the problem is still there for some and it must be something hard to either detect or fix, since it doesn't happen to most people, basically is no where near as bad as what happened with 1.0, but I hoped they fix the problem by launch.
.
this shit happens to me all the time. and i know it's not my fault but theirs. online games from 15 years ago had less lag than that. it's their code and it's garbage. somebody tell yoshida that you can't bring a pvp system into a game like this.
This was a problem in 1.0, and they said they had to change their engine in order to fix it or something, and it's still a problem.

it's a deal breaker that could push me away from the game. it should be their top priority to fix.
I feel like the ability I unlocked at Lv21 Goldsmith (Great Strides, doubles next 'Touch' efficiency) might be a tad overpowered. Levels 18, 19 and 20 I was having to rely on gathering HQ base items to reliably HQ stuff (eg. HQ copper and zinc ore to make HQ brass ingots, then the HQ brass used in the final item). However with Great Strides I'm HQing everything left, right and centre with NQ ingredients.

ahha I've gotten killed twice by that, i thought I didn't move far enough or something because I like to stand just outside the circle.
I kind of hate the circle aoe thing and running in and out, should just give me a block button
The server lag would kill you anyways because you would be holding Block but the server doesn't agree.
Ahah, I've meet him too a couple of times.

I've found that if you move farther than the circle indicates you almost never get hit.
Well, something I'd like to see the developers change at some point, for crafting anyway.
I'd like to be able to change jobs, right within the crafting log, so long as I've created the appropriate Gear Bookmark already. This might not seem like a big deal, but since crafting really is just one job, and all lean heavily on each other, anything that'd stream-line the crafting process would be appreciated.
I mean, there are a number of items in this game, that cannot be made without first synthesizing another item from a different craft job. Backing all the way out of the craftlog, changing class, then going back in, can get annoying really fast.
Otherwise I'm enjoying it. Only other complaint is that I'm occasionally hitting roadblocks, that can only be cleared through ample use of Gil, or by leveling a Gathering job until you can farm a specific item in large numbers. I know that is a big part of the gameplay of the crafting/gathering jobs, but considering my crafting classes are fairly low level, these roadblocks seem to be taking a disproportionate amount of time to clear.

Being able to cover more ground just means you've started moving earlier though.
It's not a radius problem, as I'm also able to go back into the circles just before they disappear and not get hit.

I've been wondering what it is about the MMO experience that interests or excites me
, what is it about an MMO that draws your interest?
In comparison to single player rpgs or similar action games (as many MMOs today seem to be more action oriented), I think the feeling of being part of a living fantasy world is what does it for me. Teaming up with other players that aren't scripted AI and have good and bad sides (I'm sure we've all experienced both), just makes it exciting for me.
What do you guys think?
it's magical

I can only speak for the PS3 but I can get the same effect just by assigning the relevant gear set to the hotbar. Then just shift to the relevant job while in the crafting log.
You'd need to take a few minutes setting it up and on the PS3, the window covers most of the hotbar so you'd have to remember all the button combos but it's easier than closing and re-opening windows.
But funny enough their garbage code has given me 0 problems in this aspect. The problem has to be something more specific because this is not happening to all the people.
So you're Rock Volnuttawwww yiss
Glad I got to do Brayflox before the end of phase 3. I feel satisfied.
Bring on phase 4.
Seeing DarknessTear's message down there though I feel glad that I'm probably not the healer he's talking about. At the same time I wish maybe he could have reasoned with the healer a bit? The first time I went into Brayflox with a team, the archer quit after we wiped at the first gate thing (admittedly my fault). The good thing was the tank gave me some tips, but I felt annoyed that someone thought he was too important to play with players who might have a little trouble. We only wiped once, compared to later when I played with an incompetent tank and a lancer who thought he could tank we wiped 3 times at that gate. If I hadn't been partying with one extra buddy who wanted to get out I might have just tried to sit down and reason with them.
Said tank and lancer had the fabulous names of Noctis Strife and Cioud Caelum. Pretty hilarious mix together.
I just wanted to get the full set before the end of the beta. But it's ok since I have a full Heavy Darklight set on my legacy character, which is not this miqo'te. Also the Militia set which looks basically the same.

It's hard to pinpoint one thing that interests or excites me about MMOs. It's probably just the community and like you said, the living fantasy world. If I'm playing a MMO without friends, I tend to lose interest very quickly. I also really enjoy doing end-game raids and being challenged to work as a team.
----
Are other Legacy members thinking about changing their race? I'm currently lalafell, but tempted to change into something else... And I'm not sure which city I want to start in during phase 4. I generally start in Gridania because that's where my class guild is for my CNJ/WHM, but it might be nice starting somewhere new. Of course, if Arcanist is going to be in phase 4 (rumored), I'll probably start in Limsa so I can make use out of all the main scenario story exp for that class.
Im a male Hyur and thinking about changing to a female Miqote. Im just bored of always being the same race in all MMOs I play.
I'm an Elezen, dunno which of the 2 types, but the one that resembles my FFXI char anyway, and for a time I was thinking on changing to Hyur come launch, since they now have the hair style I like on Elezen, but I made my mind up and I'm not changing races, I'll just add a scar or something and change the second name, since I don't really like it.
Man, it's so hard to come up with a second name after I called myself Khrno for so long, that's really annoying and all Tanaka's fault, but also Yoshi's for not getting rid of the second name for ARR.
Probably, all you have to do is swap the music .dat files (or whatever format they are).
SoraanTribal
Member
Yeah, I really wish we only had one name as well. I really want to keep my first name, but can't decide on a second really. Might just keep it the same as it is now. *shrug*
Also, the chocobo music that plays when you rent one is SO much better than the one that plays with your personal/grand company chocobo, imo. I wish there was an option to choose which theme you wanted.
I'm changing from Highlander Hyur to Lalafell!

I'm probably changing to male Miqo'te unless I can find a Elezen design I really like.

The only races I like are Miqo'te and Hyur.
Why are Elezen so damn ugly? They really shouldn't be.

Females are a bit better, but males? ugh...
Ugly?

Random avatars, or customized? As in with our current avatars but with a ARR related mark on them?

Random. At the same time, I'm working on a theme for people to customize their avatars with.
There was a live NicoNico stream today of Yoshida and some other devs wiping to Ifrit and Brayflox, etc.
The important info given during the live stream was:
Also, some screencaps from the stream.

I really can't wait to explore the snowy area:
Always love ice/snow areas in games. xD
I think that huge Behemoth FATE NM is up in there iirc. I really do hope they make FATEs worth doing still at high level. Some sort of rare drop (even if it's vanity only) system for them would be cool.

I agree, FATE fights are cool and all, but just for exp or seals isn't really going to cut it.
Hope they use Behemoth as a normal mob, and also other versions as a boss from both FATE and dungeons. I wouldn't want to see King Behemoth be a simple "level 50 FATE" boss tho. The game has a cap to raise, don't waste KB in a pointless lv50 fight.

Yoshida made a lengthy response in regards to Duty Finder (This is the same one from the JP Beta forums a couple days ago, only translated):
http://forum.square-enix.com/ARR-Te...on-for-same-world-parties?p=975790#post975790
Here's a few choice quotes as it's pretty long (but a good read).
Also, they have no plans for same server Duty Finder options, and they are still thinking very carefully about a poll-based kick feature due to the many ways it can be abused.

If that picture is the banner that's kinda sucky. Should be one of the city flags or a map or something, not some CG poster.

I've this problem and I'm a tank, so it's super annoying. I've to move the second an AOE ring/frontal attack shows up.
I'm European so I've like 150 ms or so, I guess.

Ugh, I finally gave up after 25+ tries without getting the gauntlets.
The Galka >>>>>>>>> anything else.
I like the poster they had for sale in the SE shop after 1.0 release, it was a double-sided poster, one side with the classic CG party image from back then, and in the other side Yoshida's artwork.
So do I. I'm in the UK to be more specific, with a Virgin Media connection of 60 Mbps.
