where do i find a job that lets me put 17 hours a day into an MMO?
I have to defend FATEs slightly.
They encourage 20-40 people to work together to get the most out of it, even encouraging them to group up, and it's all done so naturally. No matter how mob-like it is, people WANT to work together to reap the benefits. It is better EXP than questing for sure, but you'll have very little money by not doing quests.
It's 'broken' EXP because people happily work together/party up to complete them as fast as possible. Will this always be the case once there's less people in those areas mowing through them? It may fix itself once there's less people clocking them within the first 1-2 minutes of their appearance.
I can't think of any alternatives, it sure beats solo questing my way to max level like I've done in other games. Dungeons do need an EXP boost or something, very little reward for so much work. I made sure to do as many quests as I could that were level appropriate on my first class.

Problem is, some zones have what appears to have 60/80+ people doing it and the fate doesn't scale nearly enough.
Does anyone else think the ACN lvl 20 quest is bugged? Every time the other 2 NPCs kick the bucket. (inevitable) The waves of enemies come right for me, like 6 archers and a caster. Can't even heal through the dmg you just die. Happens every time.

Yep. My fate experience has been purely one of competing with other people trying to tag every mob first, rather than working with people to finish a quest.
Yup. This is the main issue. The problem isn't that options don't exist. The problem is that there are no good pros and cons that give the players the option to tackle which type of progression whether it be FATEs, dungeons, quests, or w/e. The alternatives just aren't good.
So, with which expansion did they remove the LFG flag and auto party features in FFXI? I know they were "terribly" buried under 1 submenu that most gamers now days couldn't be bothered to look for in addition to doing zone and world searches to see who is where and if they were seeking a party (japanese players didn't seem to have an issue with this...)The biggest factor, however, was that the game had no party finder system and required on shouts. It was plain confusing sometimes to get into a party due to this. Modern MMOs for a long time have had party finders for EXP and such, but FFXI for whatever reason never had one added. What also made it more difficult was that the classes weren't balanced for EXP partying, at least, not all of them. I do think a auto party searcher/creator would benefit FFXI greatly.
Erhm... Off tanking has always existed since even EQ1 days. It is the go to standard for when CC is not an option or is not available, "oh shit" moments in general, or if your group is just that bad ass to dual pull and not CC. Hell I can even remeber AOE parities where everyone tanked and that was by design.Anyhow, on to my point. In the previous way you leveled, you had someone tank, you had some DD, and you had a healer. You pulled an enemy, or two, to a spot and killed it for EXP. The method is still the same, it's just that since there are so many people there, you get quantity over quality, and that fills the void of no party finder. You still of course need healers and people using their bodies as shields, but no one has to be an outright tank since there are so many bodies.
I just personally find that nuisance is what held people back, at least, that was my complaint over it. FFXI has it's share of issues.
some guy named cyfer almasy has been messaging me with his gold ads. i'll eat a chocobo if that isn't a hacked account. this has been going on for almost 2 hours.
Anyone has any suggestions of what job would be good for a Pugilist?

Monk is the only option...
Did the GAF FC member who was spamming gold ads get kicked?

I've only had one player message me with the gil buyer bits so far. If they are or aren't hacked, I've been adding them to by blacklist just the same. I don't want or need that stuff cluttering up my chat window at all.

This is the first MMO, of many, that has ever gotten me to enjoy crafting and gathering. Something about these minigames and actually feeling like I have control over what I'm doing that makes it fun. I've spent more time working on getting MIN/BSM to 50 than working on my Paladin gear.
At least leves make gathering go by at a decent rate.Crafting is fun, gathering is just a pain in the ass RNG hell.

It's also useful if the incoming damage is low enough that you won't need Shield Oath. In fact, Shield Oath is designed to be the defensive version of Sword Oath. The increased enmity on it is meant to make up for the fact you're doing less damage thus generating less enmity from damage.

FFXIV has finders for the guild/levelhests and dungeons. Everything else can be solo'd. The zones aren't really populated with enough monsters to really support the FFXI style grind and the respawn times are too slow for it as well.
So what are you doing with your bonus points? Is there a conventional wisdom here? I'd eventually like to try out more classes and stuff, so I haven't spent any of them yet.
If you mean attribute points, those are separate per class.
Does this game have a demo? Seems a lot to ask for money upfront + a subscription when I don't know how the game will feel like.
The speed runs from 1.0 seem to be returning in full force which is kinda a shame as I didn't like those. I have yet to heal for a group who didn't want to speed run Amdapor's Keep. And they always skip that minion chest that I want. MMO players really annoy me sometimes with their MUST RUSH NOW personalities.

i need help with the cutscene viewer. i skipped the cutscenes for endgame duty. now i can't view them at home at the inn. only the first one of that segment that i watched.rock the castrum or something like that
so you have to watch a cutscene in full to unlock it at the inn? that's new to me.
You definitely should ignore those people.nobody knows? kk, guess ill just watch them next run and ignore the "skip and watch at inn" requests. i got fooled.
