So I'm trying to add a security token to my account and I can't because I need my security question and answer. I don't even remember the question/answer so I'm screwed, good stuff, SE.
 
Woo, got my first 50 today as a Paladin. Now to start dreading replacing my shiny AF with yet another horrid tin-can, fused-helm atrocity. :x

Might as well get over with quickly~ :P
On the brightside you'll get mini horns on yours for your ears~ xD

I had the same issue, contact SE chat support and they'll give an email that they'll ask you to send any sort of ID, once you do that you'll get an email with your answer~ :3
 
I just had my first bad experience with the community aside from the usual woes that MMOs that they have (ie gold farmers, spammers, hackers etc). I was trying to do Sunken Temple for the first time in full and I had tried doing the dungeon with others but we failed lotsa times with the first boss, we beat him but ran out of time for he rest of the dungeon.

Anyways, the rest of my party was partied together and I was alone. Clearly, they didn't like women cause they immediately pointed out that I was a female tank; they also assumed I was a girl and I didn't know how to play. (I'm not a girl and I don't know why they assume girls are bad gamers; a stigma that has to die)

So as we played they kept giving me pointers which is great but cause they assumed I was a dumb player, the tone they used wasn't very friendly. I just ignored them, although taking their advice, and tried to get the dungeon over with. I don't think they knew how to play their classes either since they kept pulling enmity from me expecting that I can hold it all if they unloaded their full dps on everything. They were disorganized and kept pulling the killer bees which would instant kill if it coasted final sting on you. They would then say kill the bees, but then turn around and say don't tank the bees.

After a few bosses, and finally fighting the golem boss, I couldn't hold aggro from that boss for some reason no matter what I did. Is the latter part of the fight supposed to be like that or did the rest of my party do way more dmg over me? After the fight, they just up and left although we killed it without anybody dying or much dmg to the party.

Overall, they were rude, sexist, and impatient. (They want to skip over mobs entirely and rush the dungeon) I imagine it's only going to get worse as I level up. I hear horror stories about the late game where all the assholes have kinda coagulated. I mean so far this is the first bad experience I've had so that's not too bad compared to other people.

Ran sunken a few times now and that Golem boss seems to randomly target people after you take out the soulstone and it regenerates.
 
Karen, during the second part of the golem fight (after you've killed his heart once) he targets a random player and fires off three abilities. They just need to be dodged and healed through. You can't get enmity back until he finishes his combo.

The boss is pretty much like that, dude's aggro is completely wack after breaking it's core the first time~ :P
 
Looks like they're adding a new MVP system, rightclick blacklist and adding more reserve instances in 2.1

http://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/1ngzgl/dev_post_roundup_0930_mvp_system_for_duty_finder/

Three questions answered by Camate earlier today on the official forums:
"MVP" System
Greetings, everyone!
I'd like to give a brief official overview of the "MVP" system that was announced by Yoshida during TGS, as there is a lot of interest in how this will encourage players to be positive and helpful when using the Duty Finder.
This system is for groups that get matched in the Duty Finder and cannot be used when you pre-make parties to enter dungeons and other content. Once you clear the content, you'll be able to vote for a player you feel was helpful, positive, and friendly.
Accumulating these points will allow you to buy companion armor, new mounts, and other exclusive items.
This system is scheduled to be implemented in patch 2.1, and once further details have been finalized we will be sure to share them with you!

Right-click "add to blacklist" feature
Greetings,
I apologize for the long wait for a response on this.
The development team has been working on the implementation of the right click to blacklist feature, and is planning to implement it in patch 2.1.

Dev response on long queue times for certain instances
Hello,
The development team is aware of the long wait times to reserve instances, and as mentioned by Yoshida during the Tokyo Game Show, we'll be increasing the amount of instance servers in mid-October to help alleviate this issue.
 
inb4 "mvp or i troll" runs

well if you have to wait til the end to mvp, there's nothing really left for them to troll. Lol maybe it'll make tanks and healers run more instances to farm MVPs, (god knows DPS wont get votes haha) and shorten queue times for DPS?
 
The boss is pretty much like that, dude's aggro is completely wack after breaking it's core the first time~ :P

That's what I figured. I remember there was a couple other instances where it was designed a boss would target another player other than the one who has most aggro.

I was fine in the first half of the fight.

I checked the GAF player list to make sure they weren't part of GAF...I would be sad if they were; were better than that.
 
made my weaver set before the maintenance.

diremite is annoying to get. Already scared about Fleece....
 
Just finished an AK run and looted the final chest before "Connection to server was lost" popped up on my screen. My heart was racing the entire boss fight especially when tank and healer died just as I popped level 2 limit break and ended it. Sooooo excited atm haha
 
Going through those Titan woes now, though it's not all that bad. I guess the fight just wears people down, patience-wise. So many players are crabby and hostile and ornery before the fight even begins. I'm sure they've gone through many wipes and "wasted" a bunch of time, but so far, I'm enjoying just getting the fight down in my head. Watching a video certainly doesn't give me magical abilities of +1 to winning or something.

Not sure why it's better to attack a player who isn't performing well, instead of say, giving him tips (without the passive aggressive attitude). For instance, someone had problems dodging the 3-line bomb formation, and the healer explained "go to the last line, then run to center". Lovely, very helpful. Then he added, "whats so hard about that", which doesn't really help anyone.

I know, I shouldn't expect too much from random strangers looking to get over this "hump" of a fight, but I think people would just have a better time if they took a breath once in a while and go at it with more optimism and a happy-go-lucky attitude.

Anyway, while I'm on the topic of Titan HM, do any tanks have a good tip on avoiding the circle-bomb formation in the last phase? I stand here (stole screenshot from reddit thread), which takes care of line-bombs and cross-bombs. Currently, I'm just eating the bomb burstwith a cooldown since Landslide occurs right before with Mountain Buster following, and wondering if there's a better solution.

Fleece can be pretty terrible unless you're an arcanist with a titan-egi pet. In that case you pretty much run shit and no one can out tag you, or pull the sheep so they reset.

Got about 100~ fleece in one session. Towards the end I felt like an enormous asshole though, haha.

Haha, managed to unlock Praetorium before maintenance. Maybe all my FC-sempai will notice me soon!

Praetorium speedruns are all the rage nowdays, thought it might be difficult to get a story group going. The cutscenes easily add an hour to that dungeon.
 
SE says they're adding in the right click blacklist feature in 2.1.

Isn't that just the connection lost error? Servers just went down for maintenance.

Since that happened, then yeah, I'd assume so. I guess there isn't a specific error for the ban and that's just the one they use.

I was outpulling spellcasters with my Jumps on the Fleece the other day. Feels good man.

Nice! Any idea when 2.1 is hitting?
 
Ouch bud, glad they didn't wreck you.

Speaking of one time passwords and tokens. No one be an idiot like me and never write down or save your emergency password, lol.

My phone sploded while I was installing a custom ROM and it reset my security somehow and I got locked out of my account. I had to wait on hold for almost AN HOUR AND A HALF to get a SE rep to remove it.

I'm an idiot.
Hearing about these issues, I looked up this Emergency Password thing and found out it's app only! Guess I should upgrade to the free, software version!

Eh, I don't really mind watching the cutscenes in the Inn. My CM DF run was a speed run and I didn't really care.

2013.
 
You can only "mvp" one person in the group? Going to be a lot of hurt feelings.

I don't think I like the idea of it especially if everyone is being helpful in the group.

Press like if you agree.
 
PRAISE ALTANA

Greetings,

We'll be making changes to the target priority order in patch 2.1, which should alleviate some of the issues where you accidentally target minions, pets, and other things when you want to target summoning bells, NPCs, and other important objects.

Specifically, targeting summoning bells, other objects, quest NPCs or monsters will be given targeting priority when pressing the F12 key or the confirm button on gamepad. This adjustment will also make it possible to target a summoning bell immediately by pressing F12 when you're near one. Similarly, we will also be fixing the bug where minions are selected regardless of your filter settings.

Tank here and i nevear eat bombs anymore

There are 3 kind of bombs for last phase

I stay at the north side, if a bomb pops i move to my right until i'm between two bombs

O X O

X = Paladin

For the first pack of bombs you need to be like this

O
-----X---O
First pack aren't symetrical so you gotta be like that (and be always near the end of the ground, but i mean 100 % like if you move a little bit further you'll just fall

Second pack of bombs is symetrical so...........

O X O

To avoid these you need to be exactly in the middle with 1 feet outside the ground (it's a little bit tricky until you get experience).

Third pack of bombs are far away so you don't need to move from your standard tanking place :). Oh and while avoid bombs face the outside area, you shouldn't lost hate anyways

I hope that helps you!

Tip: Use 1 cooldown after each landslide (not before or while landslide is going on, gotta be AFTER landslide) and just ONE (These have priority: rampart, sentinel, convalescence, bulwark). Why does it need to be like this? some CDs like sentinel doesn't last long so be careful :p
 
Healed a WAR today in Coil and its is very spikey but doable. I definitely found that my mana was spent a lot faster as compared to when I ran it with double PLD.

I think with a small buff WAR's should be on par with PLD's and you will see a lot more tank diversity in Coil.

I'm on Goblin, but my group has cleared up to Turn 4 with a Paladin and Warrior tank combo. Also with whm + whm, and whm + sch heal combos. You can really do this stuff with any comp, short of two warriors, that would be a little too rough to heal in my opinion.
 
Only had an hour or two to play yesterday and didn't want to queue up for Brayflox's Longstop so I picked up carpentry and leveled that to Lv 12. Crafting is pretty fun.
Which crafting classes are mandatory for good cross class skills?
 
What are these hard mode dungeons I'm reading about for 2.1? I really hope it's something that adds some variety to the end game crawl for new jobs and gear-ups, because right now there's an entire one proper dungeon for doing so and that's kind of...pathetic. Wish they had done a few more, heck, even just bumping up Wanderer's Palace stuff to proper rewards and levels would've helped a lot. Sick of AK, and I've not even been capped that long, I took my time.
 
I wonder where Pharos Sirius falls in the progression. You need to be forty-ish to get to the entrance so I imagine it's endgame or pretty close.

I love it. If everyone is being helpful just have them all vote for a different person. Even if it's not ideal it will cut down on the asshattery from people who want the rewards.

That mvp system sounds like shit and I say that as someone that can solo heal titan.
pre 8 stomp

What does that have to do with the system? I don't see how anyone who isn't a jerk in groups would think this is a "shit" system. If you're helpful you get rewarded, if you aren't you don't...weather you can solo heal titan or not.
 
Just downloaded this game. Is the tank class good? a friend of mine told me that the tank class has no taunt or AOE ability and isn't worth it.

Should also add that I am very new to mmo's.
