Yeah, it's lag. One of our brds had a tough time at first because of lag, eventually you realize his pattern and can start moving a bit in advance.

Need a sort button badly (for retainer as well), and a sort by level for the armory.
Anyone know why I can't freakin' take screenshots during cutscenes? What kind of shit is this? Is there a setting for it?

That looks like some good beef stew.
On PS3, I'm not sure. On PC, I just have FRAPs or MSI Afterburner running all the time. SE doesn't allow cutscene screenshots for some reason.
End up trying the new hard-mode ifrit last night, good battle with only slightly tweaked mechanics from 1.0
His new uber charge attack is pretty easy to dodge now but his plume of doom chained with his pepperoni spam is scary good fun. Watching all the dps and healers run around like chickens with there heads cut off is amazingly satisfying specially when you get those dps that complain about your interrupts (not realising he builds a resist to them) and watching them eat a plume cause they wanted to dps more an not move out of danger.
Won't pug these again though, way to many problems arise with randoms.

Try opening the PS3 internet browser, hit Triangle and look for the cookies option. Turn this to ON.
That *should* get you past your issue.
If you have further issues you can PM me. Gaf hasn't really been the most helpful place for asking questions tbh. Posting on gamefaqs or the official forums and people help you pretty quick, hence why I don't post here much.
Am I hearing things, or is the La Noscea music different compared to 1.0?
Awesome.
Yeah, that really does suck. I have use fraps and stuff. Not sure why they disabled it.

The Airships in XI were great...you flew over a cut down version of the overworld, but could still see the landmarks. It was cool seeing them arrive and depart as well.
But the Ship/Ferry was the best, as while traveling you could sit on deck or below it, and once in a while mist would roll in and you'd be attacked by Skeleton pirates. It was so atmospheric and just added a nice touch to the game. I was so disappointed in this game when I took a ferry and all it consisted of was me clicking on a button
I'm having trouble getting to grips with targeting at the minute to be honest, and in this game a lack of patience in people means that as a healer, trying to get into a party where people are happy for you to just be getting to grips with how it all works is nigh on impossible.
I wish there was a way you could have a party of NCP's to practise with, because there is so much the game doesn't explain very well. But you can imagine the reaction you get from most players if you aren't perfectly on the ball when you join them. No one seems to be playing just for the fun of it - at least no one that I have met sadly.
Don't worry he doesn't get any easier to pug as a paladin! I've been stuck on Titan for quite awhile and daily I see a large number of paladins shouting for Titan HM groups :|
Tank has to keep aggro on all the adds, while the party kills them. Kill the adds first and then get back on the boss. They'll keep coming so just keep going adds > boss until the boss dies.
Added tip, tank the boss where the adds spawn and flash them quickly without having to adjust your position much. Avoids moving the boss around to much for the other members and it saves you having to do anything but waste a couple flashes on the adds.
Remember to pop your cool downs if you have them to help with your defense and healing, your defensive cool downs are useful and you will be using them a ton later in the game for dungeons and primals.
Also from healer POV it can get mana intensive because of how hard the boss hits so the tank should be popping defensive CDs whenever he can.

Get the Tank to aggro the smaller guys and the Conjurer/White Mage to use Sleep on the bigger enemy.

Ugh yes its horrible the huge filler gaps. Even many of the story quests are nonsense filler too. So many silly fetch quests.
Riposte
Member
It would be fine if the content in those quests were halfway interesting. I don't know why they think people will be impressed with easy fetch-quests in 2013. Why not make these quests a quarter as difficult as the fights that came before it(dungeons/primals)? Makes no sense.
Funny enough, I actually like some of the detours you took. It was good world building. That didn't make the "kill these easy enemies, one at a time" part any better though. However, I guess you could say all of these quests would have been better spent building up the villains. They are non-entities for most of the game.
EDIT: The main scenario could have use more recorded lines. The spoken dialogue is pretty sparse. Which is too bad, because I would have loved to hear Yda voice more of her lines. She's pretty funny.

The "end-game" is really starting to get to me. It's just... so boring. It really is a shame the Crystal Tower wasn't available at launch because right now, you just farm tomes to buy DL gear and get your relic. I dread doing it for another job even though I'm leveling up Paladin. Just repeating that process of spamming CM for 100 tomes makes me a little sick. I wish there were other options besides DL or AK gear. AF lasts you a total of 5 minutes. Bahamut is out of reach until you do that. I don't mind grinding for gear in MMOs really, but... I dunno, this is such a boring one.
Some of the filler is funny though.
(Obvious spoilers in the link)
Like this shit http://abload.de/img/jmoideho9dret3sp9.png
All the more reason that the appearance tab needs to be here ASAP. I wanna wear that Paladin AF for a long time.

there is an auto sort in the options
Not that far yet, but nothing at Scion HQ or any of the older areas?
At any rate 2.1 should have a good load of stuff too.
I pretty much stopped cuz of this as well. And I'm happy I did. Now I can do other things while not having to worry that I'm wasting precious time for FFXIV:ARR.
I think I've finally settled on a general UI layout:
I may move the potions bar back to the lower-right position in the center. I'm not sure reserving a prime position hotbar for chocobo commands is the best use of space since I'm not sure how much I'll actually use the chocobo in that capacity.

Well Stone Vigil goes down as the first dungeon I timed out in. I felt like the rest of the party(actually it was mostly the healer) couldn't dodge the Boss' big AoEs and we kept wiping. Oh well I know about the fight now I should get it next time

There's a 15m penalty for entering dungeons

whens that?
Curious if I will still have interest in this after GTA5 and next gen stuff start coming out :x
Must be based on how many times one does it. I left before the last boss once because the DPS behaviour was annoying me to no end, and I didn't get any debuff on me.
Or is the debuff "hidden", i.e. simply show in the DF that you can't queue?

yeah it shows in the DF that everything's lock
How is it possible to be out of quest at 42? I am at level 40 and I left behind so many quest. I do run a lot of dungeons and participate many FATE events (though I wouldn't say I've been grinding them. I think I've gain less then 5 levels on my main in FATES). Have you tried exploring the different regions on your own? There seem to be some quest hubs that the game doesn't really lead you towards.
Also no idea how you consider quest bearable but FATE grinding the "most boring shit ever." The quest in this game are abysmal. This game obviously went the quantity route.
Cool shots as always Tekno. :3
I doubt that hurts anybody. He got what he wanted and left.

Around 26 I was struggling to find quests. The leves are always there if you don't use up your allowance but what most complain about I think is the game world and hubs lack quests and it gets worse each level. Fate and repeating leves is pretty much it, dungeons give garbage xp for the time investment.
Fate grinds are awful, you sit watching a map for a blue pop rinse repeat. At least with questing your always moving and doing something instead of just sitting waiting for your next dinner call.

Darkness no more
I am starting to lose interest in the late 30s too. The story has not been too interesting and most of the quests are "go to this spot - a monster has appeared from the shadows!". It seems like everyone just follows around the zombie mob doing fates. All I have done in fates is try to spam attacks to hit mobs that die in 2 seconds. I can't remember the last time I even took any damage. It was a lot of fun taking in the atmosphere in the start, but overall this has to be one of the shallowest mmos I have played.
