SUCCESS!!!

The last ez mode dungeon. What're you having trouble with?

just did it yesterday with gaffers, i can see how it would be difficult if the tank doesn't know the bosses' gimmicks

I was having trouble with the damn last piece of the Calvary Set dropping. It did finally though! Ran that place a good 15 times.

Oh my god.

I would play the SHIT out of a Zidane style thief in FFXIV. Hell yeah.

I actually had a surprising amount of fun with thief in FFXI.

Me too! Maybe in an... expansion? I hope the success of this game has warranted one.

3 day weekend starting Tomorrow... looking forward to becoming a recluse and playing nothing but this game. Can't come soon enough

I'm guessing these mean no. :(
God dammit guess ill be an archer with a tail.
 
Gahhhhh Ultros is full. Might have to make a character on another server. Anyone have luck making a new character on Ultros today/tonight? I'm doing the refresh thing right now.
 
Ugh. People are dumb. I'm sorry, but I don't see how someone can be so stupid.

The first boss in the Temple of Qarn is really, really easy. There are three platforms in the room. Every so often he casts Doom. After he casts Doom, a single platform will glow. Stand on the glowing platform and it removes Doom. He also spawns adds that must be killed. That's it. That's the whole fight.

We get confirmation from everyone that everyone gets it. We wipe once because two people didn't get on the platform. Whatever, not a big deal. We explain again, everyone understands. Wipe, same two people. Okay...why...whatever, though. Third attempt. Same two people die to Doom.

I say I'm not going in until people really understand it. The guy who keeps dying says I'm a dick and says he won't say anything because I'm such a dick.

Ugh people. This game is not hard, at least not so far. How can you fail three times in a row? It's not like they missed the platform; they didn't even move.

New age of MMORPG players thanks to WoW!! :P
 
So, if two people want to play their account (who already own the PC version) on the same PS3 then they need two physical copies of the PS3 game because you need two 'ps3 keys'? That's what I'm understanding right now and it's pretty annoying.
 
Game barriers are getting in the way of my parkour.

One of my biggest complaints about this game is the invisible walls. So lame in an MMORPG. Oh well, I'm enjoying so much of the other parts that I can live with it.
 
Marauder isn't so bad so far :o just did the first 3 dungeons with a friend back to back, I gotta do fates on my downtime to keep up though :(
 
I tried to get in to Ultros a couple times over the weekend and couldn't. Hoping to be able to play some in the morning. I finally got in the FC but have only got to lvl16 so far. I really would like to try and get through the first dungeon.

To be fair, most just explain that fight with "Stand on the glowing platform!" which is not really true per se.

First you only need to stand once the doom effect is on you and the platforms switch quite fast so you can get unlucky. Not to mention you should tell the group to stay close to the middle platform once you cleared the doom effect to not have to run all the way to the other side within the timer.

Good DPS on the bees is much more important.

On a different note: I want to be able to swim and underwater areas! I was kinda excited to read "Sunken Temple" but it wasn't at all what I expected :(

Also FFS, make it so interacting with an npc or object cancels Mounts automatically.
 
Agreed. I'm really beginning to wonder how many of these tanks are really as awful as people claim. I've seen enough shitty dps who don't know how to assist, who don't know what the aggro meter is, who keep attacking a mob after they get aggro, who run around like little bitches if they get attacked, etc, etc. to know that many of these "all tanks suck" posts are probably quite the opposite.

I've been in very few groups where the tank was as bad as people keep talking about. On the flip side, just about every dungeon run has one moron dps who doesn't know wtf he/she is doing. Of course they never figure out they suck because the tank/healer/other dps carry their dumb ass through the zone. So when they finally get into a group that can't carry them, they blame the tank.

What I love most:

DPS going full out batshit as soon as mobs are pulled (if he doesn't pull him/herself..)
Tank telling DPS to tone it down a bit
DPS: "It's my job to do damage"
(yeah, haven't heard that one before..)
DPS pulls aggro again
I heal
I get aggro
Tank has to collect trash mobs all over the place..
I also love the dps who don't assist the tank when I sleep targets...

I actually enjoy it when things mess up lol. Everything working right is boring ;)
 
Does anyone here uses PLC plugs, or simply know how bad the lag can get with one? Battles are borderline unplayable for me ATM because I'm on a Wifi connection used by 7 or so people. Speed isn't a problem, but I find myself skipping a lot, which I suppose is due to Wifi unstability...

Depends in which situation. If the group is geared ok, me too, especially if otherwise it would just be clicking on cure and do some dps in between. Brayflox comes to mind which is really easy now even with three group members who have never done it before.
On the other hand - Sunken Temple, not so much.
 
Ohhhh yeah. Tradeleves are the way to go to level a craft. I just went from 49-50 GSM using leves that gave me 100k XP each, thanks to HQ items.

At what level do you gain access to tradeleves? I only level 8 at the moment in Mining, I'm guessing its a plus level 10 thing?
 
Did Sastasha and Tam Tara trough the duty finder yesterday. Both where kind of pug like as it seemed both groups contained ppl who didnt know each other and where from different servers. (?)

First in Sastasha we where only 3 people, me tank , one healer and one dps. I noticed early that the atmosphere was friendly between us. I said clearly that i had limited experience with tanking (this is the first mmo where i play as tank) but they where friendly and we just keept on going. We managed to make it trough without a single wipe although last boss was a bit tricky.

Then in Tam Tara.. well the two dps ppl in there, one acher and one monk must have been kinda new to the whole mmo mechanics, aggro, pulling etc. So that was quite challenging from a tank perspective! . The healer was awesome, and somewhat managed to keep the party alive all the way to the last boss. Wiped 3 times on last boss in there but then finally got it.

All in all my first experience with dungeons (and tanking) in this game where really positive! Looking forward to more!
 
Not letting you buy this game is really weird to me. You usually want to sell as much as yo u can on launch

it's infuriating but a nice move on their part for the people already playing i guess. they don't want to make a shitty situation any worse. but not being able to buy the game is pretty bad as well. but they're getting my money regardless so a couple days isn't gonna hurt them.
 
Any tips for the Duty in the Big Trouble in Little ala mhigo quest? Wilred keeps dying on me...

What class are you? As my MRD / WAR all I did was kill off the normal enemies first, then once that was done went straight to the boss. If you want to keep Wilred alive just keep attacking whatever he is to help minimize damage to him.

Cleared it first try.

You should check the OP before saying something like that lol

I havent checked the OP for this 2nd thread in a while did it get updated or something? Or did I just miss seeing it initially? lol
 
I'm a Gladiator right now, but I'll definitely be going down the Warrior path.

If that's how this works, I really don't know.

Anti you need to play as the marauder to become a warrior. Though the Gladiator is the secondary requirement for unlocking it.

MRD Lv 30.
GLD lv 15.
 
I think bad tanks are going to just ruin me. They're the only role I have a problem with when rolling with pugs. It's like the tanks don't know what to do! Ugh.
 
So guys, just to make it clear, as a healer, I should distribute all my points to Intelligence or Mind and then swap them with Cleric Stance depending if I want to heal or attack. Correct? There is no point in spreading the points between the two.
 
Meteor: Level 3 Limit Break in action:

gif that
maybe add some meme like come at me bro or something, since that's the blm's casting animation for meteor (judging from the trailers)

as healer, put all into mnd

Is there any way to create a Theif in this yet? I wanna have a Zidane-ish character.

No thief at this time, which pissed me off since thats usually the type of class I play.

Is it the tanks fault or are you one of the shitty DPS guys? :D
