Just tanked the boss in toto without a healer, thanks to a dps who was healing me, I've been lucky too because I haven't had a bad dungeon run so far. But I'm actually getting good at tanking so that definitely helps.
 
This shit needs to stop:

(Edit: Not my pic, taken from official forums)

Is it this the level 50 DF? I met someone of the worst people in there, honestly. Ugh.

Either way though, not too much one can do, other than reporting. These kind of people will always exist.
 
I've pugged every dungeon at least once, some multiple times, and most were my first time through. I can think of one occurrence where I had a poor tank and maybe 2-3 occurrences where I had an asshole. Like I said, perhaps I'm just extremely lucky.

Yea, I've only had a coule bad instances so far. Every tank I've had past 20 has tagged mobs. I've never had anyone yet go "eww you're new?" and BM me. I know it's out there though.

The community in this game is seriously awful.

No. It has some bad apples but those will be lessened when the free period is up.
 
I'm a huge MMO noob and I've had nothing but great experiences with the community on Ultros. Especially with the GAF FC when I say that it's my first time going through a dungeon I usually get people volunteering to go with me and then giving me tips the whole way through- it's been great.

That's how it should be. Sad to hear so many stories that say the opposite.

That's how it should be in a FC or guild to be honest :)
I was starting to wonder why so many here use DF if they are in the GAF FC but I guess it's people outside on other servers? I am normally very focused on my guild and go out of my way to help guildies.

You're missing something - both SMN and SCH unlock from ACN. Just because someone has the SCH job unlocked doesn't mean they regularly run around as one, I don't, I'm usually SMN. Also, every SCH is one less SMN who may have it unlocked as well.

Right, that's a very valid point.

A lot of GAF is concentrating on the later dungeons, so it can be a bit harder finding anyone to do the earlier ones with, hence the need for DF.
 
Stolen from official forums:

The AFK logout timer is being implemented.

The update is here:

http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/82640-新生FFXIVプレイ環境の増強について続報

Reinhart can do the full translation, but if you're curious, here's a summary of the letter:
Yoshi P starts out by apologising for the server issues, then mentions that servers can now handle up to 7300-7800 people; any more than that and players will experience severe lag in some zones.

He then states that the number of simultaneous connections has now reached 325,000 people. As a result, the downloadable version of ARR might be limited even if it is opened up again. They're working on a way to deal with the demand right now. They're also doing realtime monitoring of the current situation and zone stability in order to prepare for the next server upgrade (yes, there is one being planned).

Then he states there's 3 points he plans to address:
1)Adding plenty of new worlds
2)Breaking up the Content Finder group into 3 groups
3)Strengthening the "Content World"

Then he talks a bit about the physical limits of the servers, and why there has to be a character creation limitation (boring stuff) and mentions that due to the current situation, a lot of people go AFK, so they plan to go ahead with implementing the AFK logout timer. Then he says all these 3 steps (including the afk thing) are scheduled to be implemented next week.

4)Implementation of character transfers - Basically a whole paragraph on common sense stuff like what the point of character transfers is, it's pretty boring, so I'll let Reinhart handle this. Only interesting bit is about how it might be synchronous with the resumption of the downloadable version and more package copies.

5)Bunch of stuff about increasing sales and strengthening the servers (again), he mentions how the PS4 release might see an influx of new players etc etc.

That's basically the gist of it, you'll have to wait for Reinhart to do the rest; he has far more patience than I do.
 
PUGS = Pick up groups ;)

PUG = Pick Up Group

Ah, I was confused by your post for a second but now understand why people don't captalize that abbreviation when referring to pickup groups. Point taken.

Joke guys...joke. lol

From every group I've been in in the Duty finder though, I haven't had any issues. One knew it was my first time in a dungeon and even explained to me how limit breaks and etc worked. Haven't really met any assholes overrall.

Because DF is faster most of the time
 
Im fine with the AFK timer now that the servers seem to be stable.
I do hope its a reasonable amount of time though so that I dont get kicked if I run out for food real quick or something. But again, thats probably not even an issue if I can just log right back in.


Are there any working sig generators for FFXIV yet? I see XIVpads is down.

It can be difficult to find 8 people at 10 am in the morning on a Thursday :P
 
They are proper healers and queue as healers :)
And yes, they can do 4 man end game content fine. As a matter of fact when it comes to raw healing power and sustained healing they outheal a WHM and have much less MP issues. On the other hand they lack burst healing and have much more issues with big incoming burst of damage.

NO, not playing on a legacy server :)
Ah ok, just checked on my server as well. Pretty similar distribution as yours. Maybe people don't like pet classes? :O
 
This is what the guy was saying to me to tell me to lure the slime(s) to the bomb mobs. "Kite" isn't even accurate here, I know... just say "Tank dude, lure the slime to the bombs"

yeah that's not kiting haha. that part was neat though, my party were all dead for some reason (let's stay in the bomb aoe range, sure why not!). Spent a good few min trying to get the last few tiny slimes into range... until i realized that i could just wack them dead!
 
I am scared shitless of Copperbell. I hear it's hard as hell, and dungeons are officially a black plague to me after that conversation posted before. Goddamn. This is the first MMO I ever did instance raids in. I guess I'll just have to avoid it for now on.

They need to allow for more people in the FCs. It sucks not being able to play with gaffers instead of risking crap like what happened in those screens.

Copperbell isn't too hard if you have a good tank

Anyone get that Fantasia potion - does it change only appearance or can you change your character name as well?

You can have like 500 people in FCs.
 
Holy shit. I found it! Says I have 12 days free left, lol. No characters found. But it does say:






Standard
Remaining Days : 12 days

You have no Veteran Rewards.

Other Received Bonus Items
・Garlond Goggles
・Fantasia (For Version 1.0 Players)

So lets say I can get the PC from this account, anyway to link 2 different accounts? I really don't want to start all over yet again. Ugh.
 
Question; can the phial be used to changed one's nameday? I wanted the equivalent of 7/31, but thanks to the stupid system I ended up with the equivalent of 7/30.
 
The community has been excellent so far (at least, on Balmung). Much better when compared to other MMO launches I've experienced.
 
So, like, if I update my email under this account, to the account of the PS3 version. Will it list both PC / PS3 version, or am I going to have to start over? Lets say I start over, how do I play the PS3 version with the same character? I want to play a character across both versions.

beat on my first try with random. only hard part is the bomb and slime. everything else is standard.



you know, the main reason i play tanks in mmos is because in random parties for dungeons, a decent tank can usually pull through even the more incompetent party (depending on dungeon and game naturally). And the amount of bad tanks out there is quite high... which could attribute to this game... which kinda tries to teach you how to tank in the class quests... but not really.

most people also tend to roll sword classes... and tanks is the only sword class in the game atm, so i expect many gladiators are first time tanks.
 
Only appearance.

Yeah I figured. I was planning on using my mage as a main character and I made a marauder just to check out a melee class. Now Im level 27 and I love the class and don't want to start another character, but I did pick a fairly immature name because I was almost sure I wouldnt stick with it >.<

If it's the same thing as the 30 day subscription reward, then I think so:

Mogstation said:
Fantasia grants you a single opportunity to edit your character.
You will be allowed to change your race, gender, appearance, date of birth, and patron deity.
*Your starting class and name cannot be changed.
 
Answering same questions:

Fantasia does not allow you to change name. You can change name day and patron as well as appearance, race and gender.

Edit: shucks, too slow
 
Are they eventually going to allow any non legacy players a way to change their appearance and such? Kind of want a change already for my character.
 
Temple of Qarn's last boss is the best so far. So much chaos, so much fun, so difficult, but completely doable.

If you have a good group that fight is a blast. Unfortunately, my healer didn't know how to dodge lasers. As my BLM said, "if you can't learn how to position, you won't get far in this game".

Truth. But damn, bravo. Most fun MMO boss I've fought it a LONG time.
 
Apologies, I thought I looked through all the pages. I must have missed it :(

For mining depends if you want accessories, armor or crafting items / weapons

So the real general is the following

Goldsmithing = Accessories

Armorer = Armor pieces

Blacksmithing = Tools + Weapons

They also contain components for other crafting and some misc overlap stuff.

Those 3 use the items from mining. Though others need stuff like wood, leather, tailoring & alchemy components though.

I loved how one of my DPS said:"It's easier dodge the lasers than destroy them" (the final 4 ones, at the end)

Guess who died. lol

Copperbell isn't hard at all. I still think of all the intro dungeons Sastasha was the hardest from a tanking perspective. I think I wiped once on the last boss in Coppebell in beta when no one knew how to handle him.
 
Ugh. So I log into the account that says I have 12 days left of free time for the PC version, but it asks for a realm reborn registration key. When I enter the one I have on the back of the manual it says already registered.

Where can I get the client for people with the 1.0 game?
 
500 is a ton of people. It won't be full when the free period expires. It sucks but 500 is seriously a ton of people.
I subbed for 180... which doesn't even start till my trial days end on Oct 16th... Will be interesting to see how many are still around by the time that ends. I'm hoping the 2.1 and 2.2 patch content can convince me to sub even longer but we'll see!
 
Even when my game is straight locked 30, never wavering, not even dropping to 29, the game is stuttering like fucking crazy on PC. I have it locked at 30fps, but it looks like I'm dropping down to 10-15 even though the FPS counter isn't moving.

I can't explain it, I've never really seen anything like it in a game before. Maybe it's shitty SLI support, I have a GTX 590. There are some parts where I'm running around and it's stuttering and jerking so bad it looks like less than 10fps, but the Fraps icon in the corner still says straight up 30 (and so does the System Configuration menu in the game, if I open that up).

Driving me nuts, I don't know if it's anything I can fix or if I have to wait for a patch or drivers. :/

No. It has some bad apples but those will be lessened when the free period is up.

That's because most of them are doing the end game dungeons
 
Armorer also produces tools like the alchemist tool for example.

Gave him the basic of basic rundown as mentioned in my post. Since dont want to bother writing out every single bloody thing that they do, since there is so much stupid overlap which makes zero sense at times.
 
Even if I turn off Vsync I'm getting about 50-70fps and it's stuttering like fucking crazy, like it's 20fps.

Ffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

EDIT: Looks like the stuttering isn't just me, I immediately found tons of other people with the exact same issue. Don't know if it's Nvidia or Square, but they better unfuck that soon.
