:golf clap: @ Ultros.

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 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.

Its actually probably better than new servers.

Sounds like I should have picked Sargatanas even despite the Legacy status. I picked Leviathan, but literally no one I know is on Leviathan.


Thank you for all the love!
 
I have my archer to level 32 now and my puglist to 12 but I seem to have run out of quests. Quickest way to get to 15 on the Pug and become a Bard? Do I need to do another quest to become a Bard?
 
This weekend I did Sastasha, Tam-Tara Deepcroft and Copperbell Mines, and then finished with Ifrit!

We died a few times on Ifrit, getting the timing right against the nail, but the runs in the other dungeons were flawless. Fun times!

I think in the next few days I'll try Halitali, and start some new classes in and around Gridania.

Did you do your hunt log yet ?

I've just been killing thing my lvl + or - 1. Grinding it out doesn't take to long, ran out of quest as a pug at lvl 11. Up to 13 in an few hours that that's was with running around looking for quests. If would have given up and just grinded it out would have been 15 already.

Also just a noobie here so I'm probably wrong lol

Take an hour and go to Aleport and join a FATE group. You'll hit 15 in that time. Its the quickest way. If you're against FATEs as a lot of people seem to strangely be, just do leves.

GAF guild on ultros isn't much different. I've already seen Jew jokes, "gay" pejorative use and piracy justification.

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"

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

Faster solution would be to just blacklist the people in question. While I don't condone or endorse some of the things said in FC chat (when I bother to pay attention to it, because most don't), I don't think officers can police every single comment said in chat.
 
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.

Man, judging by that pic lalafells are so much cuter than tatarus. :O <3 Love my lala.

I'd love to see a launch census too. I am not seeing as many lalas are humes as this chart has me believe there are so I think the distributions changed.

It could be worse, you could have talked to and convinced multiple friends/groups to all play on Hyperion, then had one of the people you want to play with the most be locked out from making a character on Hyperion since before launch.

so how are monks?

lvling up a puglist a bit, and kinda digging the form stuff. does it stay awesome?

Are they formidable dps? don't see them much in duty finder.
 
Is there a resource site that tells me how to allocate my stat points for all classes?

Or can anyone let me know what stat points I should put into my marauder, archer, etc.?

thank you.
 
Damn I want to play this but can't buy thru the Squeenix webstore, and digital is the cheapest option. Are there any other alternatives?

I don't play one but I did some research on it before. Monks are potentially the highest DPS in the game for a single enemy but they take a few stack building rotations to build up to this point while needing specific positioning and stuff to get the best rotation. Basically Monk = builds up higher damage as they continue to attack while Dragoon is constant spikes.
 
Who should I get in touch with about joining the FC on Sargatanas?

Sounds familiar. You play on FFXI on Fenrir by any chance?

Here's a stats page that I think is up to date: http://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Attributes

Basically, for melee DPS, go STR. For archer, go DEX. For tanks, ideal stats are in debate. Some like as much HP as possible and go for VIT. Some go for STR for extra damage while leveling and for the extra threat generated by that extra damage. Some do half and half, etc.

Nah. I did play FFXI for a while, but it was on Sylph.

I ended up making an alt on Faerie to play with said friend, but it's a bit annoying waiting for them to either open Hyperion again or allow transfers for my friend to transfer her character to Hyperion (which won't happen for a while since Hyperion is high population).
 
Buy HQ Mythril Ingots on Marketplace for 500g.
Pick up leve.
Turn in leve, get 20% of a level and 850g.
Repeat over and over.

5k earned and six levels better.

Yeah same dilemma here. :\ Got a group of friends who want to play on Hyperion but I couldn't get on because of various reasons until this weekend.

Started a character on Malboro with another friend but she hasn't been around much so I've basically been tooling around on Sargatanas with my character from 1.0 just kinda soloing everything and hoping for a chance to world transfer someplace or other soon...

Once those tanks get to the higher end content like Titan (Hard) and beyond I think they will understand the value of full VIT.
Also, as a SCH I love full VIT tanks because it makes the oh-so-sexy Lustrate even more sexy.

You're still in the linkshell right?

<-- contact me :P Eithne Rain
 
Yeah. Leave these slots for us gaffers (I want in so hard!)
This!

I'm waiting for my chance to get in. I am patient, though, and am enjoying slowly leveling/taking in the world of Eorzea. I just hit Level 30 on my THM last night and am hoping to finish leveling my Archer to 15 today so I can obtain Black Mage.

I've also been working on a lot of my crafting/gathering classes, mostly Mining/Botany/Goldsmith/Weaver.
 
I got sick and I haven't really had the energy and motivation to play in a while. :(

I miss it. All doped up on Nyquil and shit, can't really focus on objectives and stuff.

Well those are stock images from FFXI's launch.

And Taru NPC's were way cooler than Lalafell NPcs.

Most tarus looked decent ingame. Same with mithra.
 
Just finished the campaign. Thanks for the help Tao!

Praetorium and the last fights were very cool, and the ending...wow.

Think this was the best climax to an FF game in a long time, at least since FFXI: Chains of Promathia. Just...so good. YoshiP and his crew need their own single player mainline game.
 
Just checked out the Amazon.jp reviews for this game -- things have really fallen apart. A barrage of 1-stare reviews excoriating SE for letting the server problems get this bad, and those are getting 90%+ "useful" evaluations. Even reviewers who try to explain that the game is still good, it's just getting in that's the problem, are getting downvotes. During early access when the JP servers were just fine, it wasn't like this.

imo the FC could use some free space, a good amount of people in it probably aren't even part of gaf anyway

Some of us are still waiting for our game to arrive!
 

Wes what is your in game name?

I saw some dude called *something* Wes crafting just as I got put into a dungeon and when I came back he was still crafting and I was in there for like 45 minutes

I was going to wave but then I thought what if it isn't the Wes I know?

That would be awkward

The more I think about it, the more I like it. Praetorium is probably my favorite dungeon by far, not exactly the most complex but the mix of the great music, the epic battles and the whole climax of the story is just great.

And did I say the music was great? Sogood.gif

I sure wish they would sell the PC version again. I already have a character on a working server. But after playing the PS3 version, I kinda want to see more eye candy and a better resolution, probably a better framerate also.
 
So what are people doing to make their TAB targeting not suck?

I don't really want anything too complicated. I just want TAB to target the nearest enemy first and I can't get it to do that. It always ends up cycling through ones that are completely out of range. In FATES for example there will be a group of 4-5 enemies and TAB will ignore them in favor of ones way in the back.
 
Probably why it's recommended to go tank for story.
Might pick it up as my second job...or white mage those are scare these days too.
It is, except for a while it caused server problems. So now the worlds are in groups and duty finder only searches within the group of servers, so it's narrowed down there. Furthermore, if you are playing a damage-dealing class, you should expect a long wait because there are more damage-dealing class players proportionally to the tanks and healers. People do use the duty finder for story dungeons, it just so happens that this is how the class ratios determine how long you have to wait.

The way you're doing it is just how people did it before duty finder existed. And in a sense you can say it is better, because you're playing with people on the same server that you can friend and play with again. Alternatively you can ask to join a free company and try to build a party from there.

It's an MMO, there are things built in to encourage social play. It's not a solo game.
Ya I get what you mean, although to be honest I play it more as a solo game with a really living world. I thought the Duty Finder was a really neat idea, I registered for the dungeon and went off to do FATEs and Leves but after half an hour no one else was registered for the dungeon. So i went back there and basically pestered people until I managed to get a party going.

But you are right, I should invest in being a tank or a healer as my second job since those are scarce.

They really need to add some "within x yards" settings. I've not had too many problems, but when it does fuck up it fucks up spectacularly. Most of all they need to fix summons still showing up in the enemies filter for click-targeting. If click-targeting (X on controller, not sure what keyboard equivalent is) was reliable as 'always closest enemy' most my issues would be solved.

I put my camera perspective in a isometric view or all way up so I only see my enemies that are near me.

Yeah, the fact you can click on pets even with the enemies only filter sucks ball, I wish too the tab targetting only aimed to the closest enemy.

I screwed up a few times because of those two issues.

This. I still have shout party reflexes everytime something comes up. Honestly if I have to use the duty finder, i'll try to have 2 or 3 spots filled. No experience with large parties yet.
 
I've been having issues with BLM/THM for the Cancer fate... Has anyone experienced this? Basically, he spawns and I do DOTs and my fire/ice cycles until he dies but I only get about 2k xp.

I also fight cancer as SMN or ACN and often get the 15k or 19k reward so I'm not sure what the deal is.

Should I be fighting the small squid guys instead of the crab or something?
