My SCH is level 40, and I want to start working on AF quests, but I forgot or don't know where the NPC for those is located. Help would he appreciated!
 
Damn the shouts are pretty terrible.

a lot worse than xi.

Today I started getting whispered by the gold spammers, very annoying. The worst part is there's no immediate block or report function. :/
 

Shouts are terrible... But SQEX needs to do something about gilseller bots now. Getting a lot in Shout chat and I even get tells now.

I'm thinking of just rolling on Sargatanas and hoping its not to bad for newbies.

I'm a newbie on Sargatanas, and other than all of the GAF FC being at the end of the game, they are still pretty helpful and I haven't had problems finding my level players to do dungeons.
 
Maybe somebody can help me with this. Several times I've tried going into Horizon activate Guildhests, but each time I ask the Battlewarden then I keep getting a message than implies I need to level up.

Well, I saw something that suggests to me that I need to find the Battle Warden in my starting region, so, does anyone know where the Battle Warden in La Noscea is?
 
GAF guild on ultros isn't much different. I've already seen Jew jokes, "gay" pejorative use and piracy justification.
Yeah, caught the Jew one. Perhaps we should be compiling names as they come up to report to the higher members of the FC.
 
Ahh okay; so it's different than 1.0, where you get Job Ability/AF quests every 5 levels, as I remember it?

So there's no level 35 or 40 SCH quests of any sort? I just keep leveling until I hit 45?

Thanks!

Yeah. You get 4 pieces at 45, then the last at 50. There's still job quests every 5 levels though.

Worst I've seen is hentai talk.
 
Am I missing something about Fists of Fire? It says that mp is being consumed to increase attack power, yet my mp never goes down at all with it activated.

In 1.0 they took MP for attacks, in ARR they just give you the effects the ability says. Juts looks like the buff icon didn't get fixed.

Should spam them asking about a discount or make up a random selling message about a totally unrelated item.

I saw that one too, but forget who said it. Was messed up since it was in the middle of a fairly normal conversation.
 
Um. I think that was me. Phoenix server by any chance? Probably wasn't me, but it sounds like the same situation, I was the only one who dropped as everyone else beat the boss in that very same dungeon.

Again, this is why I don't like that part of this game. Wish I could solo through the whole thing. I freely admit I'm not a great tank, but wtf am I supposed to do? I'm new to MMO's and trying the best I can. Fuck.

edit: Nope wasn't me. Our party (well...they) got through on the first try.

I can at least be sure that wasn't me.

But when people say stuff like build enmity on the mobs - no fucking clue what you're talking about.


Oh hay! I am on Phoenix,too!
Char name is Kyomi Dreamweaver. Let me know if you need help with anything. Taking it kinda slow and level 40 on my WHM. I don't mind redoing earlier dungeons to help out :)

On another note, cleared sunken temple quite a few times without any deaths but I had one of the most amazing tanks today. Great positioning, great awareness, NEVER once lost aggro (I slept adds throughout), marked and much to my surprise it was a girl playing. She normally plays healers and I would think that fact alone makes her understand and act exactly like you should as a tank.
 
Finally got around to adding my Info to the GoogleDoc. I stated I played FFXI, but only for am month. XD

No, wait. It's in Swiftperch.
 
Spoony bards are awesome for dungeons. Always happy to play with one.

Yeah I know, I'll probably work on it later (my Archer/Bard gear is so obsolete for endgame content), but right now I want to focus to lvl DRG to 50 and gear it.

At first I didnt really like when they added Bard as a job for Archer, but Im starting to enjoy it
 
How's things so far? I haven't been able to get a copy do to moving and want to play on ps3 even though my pc "handles" the game. I need a new Ps3 :-(. Won't be able to get one for a bit.

PS3 has some oddities in which monsters don't load for me... =/ But, other than that, it runs great. My hands are just too small to really use the PS3 controller effectively...
 
I kind of hope they don't wait a year to do the first census. I'd like to see a launch census. Though, hopefully unlike with XI they'll do a race census, which FFXI stopped doing in 2008.

This was the last known FFXI race breakdown.

I'd probably say based on my observations that the balance is probably close to this. Maybe more Mithra in XIV since there's a male option.
 
Worst I've seen is hentai talk.

Not sure if that's a measure of having not seen anything that bad or being really bad.

Someome mentioned that people were talking about futanari miq'ote in /shout and I kindly explained they were probably referring to the art of faustsketcher. They're pretty well known for it. Google!

That's not to bad.


Everything's cheaper and most of the content is cross-server anyway so you'll be mostly grouping with the same people anyway.

That aside, the game (read: server) has a good low level population.

Makes sense. I'll roll on which ever one opens up first since they are both locked now lol
 
I half expect, literally or not, it'd be like yelling at an automated telemarketter anyway. This isn't something that even cares, though I imagine a script could've caught your name and decided you were worth spamming.
 
Got to level 46 and now I don't have any quests until 49.

Great.

At least the story has gotten really interesting.

The waking sands has a few quests that will each send you to a quest hub. Not enough to get to 49 but should get you a decent chunk of each level.

I wish I realized this before deciding to fate farm north thanalan.. oh well, guess it can be used for when I want to level other classes
 
There are real people behind those messages. Kindly ask them to stop, no need to curse them out. If they don't you can either report or blacklist them.
 
My friend got the game and cant make a character on ultros for 2 days now. This is terrible. I don't want to start over on another server :(

I actually do wonder this. Nevertheless if there aren't people there then it's an automation that won't care what you say.

Although some of these gil sellers are in via stolen accounts, so I don't think cursing them would be wholly unjustified.
 
Why does it take so long to "reserve" an instance when you have a full group wanting to run a dungeon? Is it that busy this weekend? D;

My question is, why does the dungeon clock counter still go on when you're looking for a new member after someone leaves.
 
Is there a way to report them so they get kicked out of the guild? That seems very unwelcoming.

Don't get me wrong, it's not non-stop. It just sticks out because when I've called people in the guild on it, I've heard "everyone does it" and "stop white knighting"

There's a documentary on it.

Gold Farmers (2010)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1743932/

There are some previews of it on youtube. Despite being against the ToS, these guys play like all day and night nonstop just to be able to sell this stuff. Not that I'm condoning it, but I admire their ethic. They're not as bad as people make them out to be.

I'm kinda liking the fact that there are/will be a lot of gil sinks and not gil fountains. Makes it very "do it yourself" or make friends to help you.

I've always assumed they were smart enough to write some software that generates some gibberish alongside their advert, and pastes it into chat at set intervals after they've parked the character in-game?


Doesn't seem likely that someone is sitting there actively spamming chat unless I'm mistaken?

Sounds like officers not enforcing rules and people just being insensitive. In short, the guild needs to be managed better.

I think writing scripts like that would get them banned. I recall this happening in FFXI and I was getting pretty annoyed, but when I asked them to stop they left me alone. I don't appreciate the spam stuff either.
