So after almost 3 days and 30 hours of failed Titan HM tries, we finally found a way to beat him. You form a V shape with Titan where the tank usually holds him. When Titan uses the line attack and the plumes, you all run to the respective sides then return back to V formation. Keep this going the entire fight.

When he stones someone that person moves to titan's but in the middle

And that's it. Easy as butter on a rainy day!


I love paint.

Has any one else seen a massive increase in tanks joining wanderers palace and leaving after running straight to the first chest in the instance ? (not killing mobs) Im sure gil farmers are botting the shit out of it because the blunt sword used in the paladin quest is listed about 6 times from the same retainer all called stuff like Qqqq etc. Said item is currently going for 25-35k on my server.

I prefer using the "be mindful of your position and the position of those around you" strat, where you just stand anywhere you want, but keep in mind what direction you are going to have to run to get out of stuff. In every pug I've been in where someone brings up the "line" strat or any other like it, it always ends with people getting pissed that someone didn't follow it and they ended up not being able to get out of an aoe, instead of noticing the other persons placement and adjusting where they are standing/escape plan accordingly.

Basically what I'm saying is that if you have a full team that is good enough to follow a strat like that 100% of the time, they should be able to manage themselves normally in Titan. If they can't manage themselves then they will end up being the player that fucks up the strat anyway.

Of course what do I know. I haven't killed him and you have.
 
So I finally got my Battlemage Robe. It took me many...many runs of that place, and all I need is the Hat and I have the whole set. I do not see myself wearing it for long, considering I'm now 44 and will be receiving my Class Gear in a level, but even still I will keep it for the future in-case Vanity Slots become a reality.

On the topic of gear, one thing I wish A Realm Reborn had [and other MMO's in general] is a feature in-game that lets you know what gear is available in each instance and who drops it. That would make searching for an upgrade while leveling much more accessible. I need a shield upgrade for my BLM [since I have a one-handed weapon] and the only thing I can see that isn't "vendor trash" is a pink item available at a higher Grand Company Promotion than I currently am [I need to complete Darkhold to get promoted further]. It would be a lot easier to simply look at the dungeon loot list in-game and see if there's anything suitable for me. The online sites that the drops aren't exactly up-to-date. :(
 
Hey, GAF, I just reached level 44... I've read some people say to hold off Lady of the Vortex and get the level 45 job gear quest done first before facing Garuda. What do you people think, does it help?
 
Random Matching System?

You'll be able to enter Duty Finder with a 'Random Instance' box checked, that will place you in any available party for any available dungeon. For this, you're granted an EXP/rewards bonus.

It's an attempt to encourage players to fill in the gaps for the less spammed dungeon content, thus, for example, helping speed up the time it takes to find a party for those whose story progress is gated by a dungeon.

So it's basically searching for cape westwind lol.

It really does help, especially if you're a caster with relatively low hp, as a BLM without AF i'd almost certainly die when she does the big aoe that destroys the stones even while hiding behind a full stack of them.
 
Did you Defense buff/heal him to death?

Sorta, near the end there are these adds with their beams covering the whole area, and our WHM was running around like crazy trying to save him and the Tank who was brute forcing like a boss. It was quite funny and thrilling to watch that.
 
FFXI proved that it could be done 10 years ago. I think the biggest issue is the performance issues. Eventually, with all the content they will add the PS3 version is just going to become overloaded. It's pretty bad now with fates were you can't see a thing but eventually it will just get worse.

FFXI was a much slower game though so the slower input on gamepads worked perfectly. People having issues running end game stuff with the controller?

SONY: So, you are enjoying FFXIV? How about a PS4? :D
 
Anyone find that the sound in this game is low compared to others? Its been bugging me for a few weeks but now Im actually trying to fix it and I cant figure it out.

Check "System Configuration" in the menu. First thing it pops up are the volume and music settings.
 
hopefully it drops good blm gear

LOL fates don't drop anything useful besides Odin and Behemoth, I just hope this isn't going to be a zerg fest like Odin with a million people turning up and you can't see shit.

So disappointed with FATE's in this game.

yeah i know, i said that because odin and behemoth don't really give mage gears too for what it's worth
behemoth mask is the only mage equipment from those 2 fates and even that is pretty shitty, i think only ilevel 55?
still yet to do behemoth fate though, wanna do it for the achievement

I can only hope they have these guest appearance fights as guildhest battles >.>
 
So after playing it for almost a month now, I have a hard time figuring out what I think of it.


The healing game so far has been fun, though consumables not doing a whole lot isn't healthy for the game itself moving forward(not sure why mana potions don't even really cover the cost of one healing spell for example). I don't mind the skill system, and they did a good job of making you feel like you got something each level up, but the cross class system still needs a lot of work. Locking things healers get from other MMOs as part of their base class behind other classes you have to then level to +30 to be "complete" isn't the making of a fun system. Moreover, what you could choose, at least for WHM, doesn't exactly yield many "fun" choices.


The game itself has been pretty fun. The FATE system is a great idea as an alternative to questing when you're bored, and doing them when they're in the vicinity you are makes it a really good system. The Leves system is another good one in this vein, so kudos on them for having it. Where things fall apart is the quest levels themselves. While other MMOs or games would let you attempt a quest, even if you were a little underleveled, they decided it would be a good idea to stick a big STOP sign in front of you when you run across one. I can't for the life of me understand why I get stopped at lv45 from doing a lv46 quest. Seems like a very silly restriction for no real reason, honestly.

Worse is the game boils down to these stop signs a LOT late in the leveling game, usually once every half or 3/4 of a level you'll hit one and then be forced into grinding FATEs or Leves, and this is where the game kind of falls apart. This morning for example, I'm loving the story, things really picking up, I'm level 46, big rally, and STOP sign saying level 49 to progress. I mean, what is this garbage? I get to grind FATEs and Leves for THREE WHOLE LEVELS?! What the hell year is this again in terms of MMO game development? I've said these things work as nice alternatives, not the entirety of the gameplay for a chunk of your character's "story".


I'm now at a loss of what I should do, and the free time is just about up. I haven't crossed to end-game yet, and the primal fights I've seen so far on normal have been fun, so I'm eager to see what they are on hard, but do I really want to do something I hate in grinding FATEs or Leves for 3 whole damn levels? An MMO is only successful as it is in successfully hiding the carrot it's dangling in front of the player's heads. Each STOP sign makes you stop and stare directly at the damn carrot.
 
Are there any good sites out there that show images of gear sets? Particularly level 50/end-game gear. I'm actually interested to see all the end-game gear sets for crafting jobs if that helps...

All Behemoth and Odin fates items are iLevel 50. They're basically vanity items.
 
Loving the archer class, almost got him to level 10. Like it more than gladiator.

Couple questions though.

Anyway to stabilize the camera? Seems really wobbly an never wants to stay center.

Anyway to make the text box bigger? Not the chat box. I kinda sit far back when I'm playing. You can resize all the other box's, but can't see how to do it for this, if you even can.
