One good or bad thing about the dungeons in xiv is no sense of danger
wipes take u to the entrance with a shortcut back to boss
with plenty of time to spare

In 1.0 that was how lv50 raids were run
If your synth goes unstable (red, black, etc.) and you're scared, you can hit that to see if it will change to something better in the next round.
Some skills like Tricks of the Trade, though, willy only activate when it's unstable. So you could try using it for that, too.

I guess this is for future knowledge,
But, what can I exactly do with the weapons and armor that I craft? They sell for nothing at the stores and I don't exactly need ten spears or whatever.

After running around Thanalan, La Noscea looks really nice now. Surprising how different it looks compared to Thanalan and the Shroud. Also since when did Mamool'ja buy sausages?
I'll post some shots later.
I see what they were going for with FATE NMs. Kinda cool to wander across some people fighting a giant monster, and then join in. Only normal party sized groups though...no crazy horde of people unless its a full scale battle of sorts.

Either turn em into materia I guess, or sell them on the market board for slightly lower than what the vendors do? We were discussing this earlier, but I usually just fight/gather, so I cant really say.

How do you turn them into materia is my next question I guess, lol.
Managed to put another few hours in, this time to speed run a Conjurer to Level 15. Now THAT is a caster class I can get behind. Stance allowing for increased healing or damage at a button press, insta-cast DOT, movement-slowing ranged cast, heal, group heal, self buff. This has everything I wanted from a THM... and healing.
Gonna scrap my THM so hard it will leave a hole in the character screen. That class is now dead to me.
Small annoyance though, gamepad controls don't really work. I've had several times where I could not select other players, no matter how much I tried. Finally forced it via the LB+(Button) combo, but that's a major pain in the ass in a heated battle.

You can change your default filter for when you have your weapon drawn so you can set it to automatically go to a filter that will allow you to select other players. That's what I had to do for FATEs, and it's been much easier than me having to try and click people with a mouse. lol In a party, though, it won't really matter as you'll always be able to select your party members regardless of the filter.

Playing the PS3 version.
There's no way to save pictures on the XML gallery of the system?

They are working on a screenshot function for ps3 aiming for launch.

Need has highest priority, if need is rolled then people who roll greed are ignored. If nobody needs then people roll for greed.
Sell them in the marketplace.
Or with higher level stuff you craft, you can spiritbond it and make materia.

I really like the Copperbell Mines dungeon. The two bosses really require teamwork, tactics and planning. It's a lot of fun and I hope more dungeons are like that instead of 'everyone just kill everything.'
ok I see..
All the dungeons after Copperbell have been great (Halatali, Toto-rak, Haukke Manor & Brayflox's Longstop) have been great. Also they have announced there will be 16-18 of these instanced dungeons at launch (so around 10 more than are in phase 3) and all of these should be around level 35 and higher so expect the difficulty to increase
Arcanist is Limsa. Also they moved the Musketeer Guild from where it was in 1.0 to the same building as the Marauders Guild. Hopefully they plan to add Musketeer in the not-too-distant future.

You're supposed to have a limited number of needs over a certain amount of time per dungeon/dungeon tier come launch, too.
Made a cat because I don't plan on playing one in release. I still miss Mithra.
Trying my best not to touch the meat of the game so I can savor it at the launch.
This is the character I actually plan on playing to some extent, Gladiator is mad boring though.
Gotta get that perfect snapshot!
Wannabe balthier with better chops.

Well this was an eventful weekend.
See you all same time next week.

Next test should be longer than just a weekend so it's not guaranteed to start at the same time

I can't beat the Magiteck Armour. I tried everything. I need to think about a strategy until next week-end.
Since the beta kinda came to a halt around lv32
Decided to jump back on my legacy character
Noticed all the mobs around uldha were linking with eachother?
The same mobs didn't do that in the new server at all
How can that be?
before it appears
Kill all the soldiers but don't touch the tank until the end
If ur fast enough, all ur NPCs will be healthy enough when the big guy pops

Links only occur when you're facing a mob that's way lower than you. So yeah, if you're a 50 and attacking a lvl1 mob. . . You can bet you'll have the whole region linked against you lolol.

Had heaps of fun Friday and yesterday with my Archer, Alastor Goldhawk. Definitely gonna pick it up come release. Roll on Phase 4!
I'm on the PS3 version, in terms of control it's actually pretty decent. They did a great job for the most part, although some menus can be a little on the kludgy side I never found it unmanageable. Battles play just fine on a controller, never had any problems there.. Framerate though is....not good, particularly in Limsa Lominsa things get a bit soupy. I hope they can fix it but I don't hold out a lot of hope really. I'm sure the PS4 version will be a lot better.

Is it just me or is that one bit of dungeon music taken right out of Kingdom Hearts?
I don't just mean similar, its like the exact same.
