hmmmmm

never thought about going ARC\SUM

 

[Khrno]

According to that picture that was going around earlier, you need both Pugilist and Marauder for Dragoon. Unless I'm reading it wrong.

What that picture means is that DRG uses MRD and PGL skills (and obviously LNC), not that it requires both.

 

[Baleoce]

I believe those are the class skills you can use for that job, not necessarily the requirements.

Ahh there we go.

Excellent thanks.

 

[Pie and Beans]

Hope those classes are either or and not requiring 3 classes? Like Warrior is Marauder + Pugilist + Gladiator, or its Maurauder + your pick of Pugilist or Gladiator?

Edit: oh right. So, is anything set in stone yet or people need to find out for sure? I wouldn't mind doing Pugilist to get to Warrior instead of Gladiator because sword and shield was pretttttty boring.

 

[falastini]

Speaking of shared class skills, why is Mantra level 42? It's the highest shared ability by far. Most shared skills are 34 and even a few are 26. It pretty much forces me to make MNK my second class. I mean you might as well take it to 50 at that point... I was planning to play something different after all the melee combat of GLD and WAR.

If you're going to go WAR, you're going to want those shared tank abilities from GLD anyways.

Party/Job: Main class lvl 30> required lvl 15 class for job > predetermined third class to cross class ability with.

Solo: Main class > cross class with any class you want

I tried to start the game, but I can't choose a NA/EU world because there aren't any. A good way to start.

There is a maintenance right now.

 

[Mashing]

Would STR be better for skills like flash that depend on weapon dmg for enmity generation?

 

[Askani]

Maintenance? Maintanence.

 

[C.Dark.DN]

There is a maintenance right now.

The servers were up for 6 hours before a 3 hour maintenance.

 

[chickdigger802]

So for the few hours of it up, has I been smooth launch?

Also does early access count towards the first free month?

 

[mattiewheels]

Let's learn about Final Fantasy X|V: A Realm Reborn, kupo!

Is that guide a thing? Can't seem to find it.

 

[SenatorBot]

It seems the post lost my physical copy of the game and the store said they can't send another one till 2 weeks have past.

Anyone know a good store to buy FFXIV digitally in the UK?

 

[ShadowRunner]

What are the cross class skills from ACN? Spreadsheet says you can take Bio but only Ruin and the heal spell have become available to use for my CNJ, which are both useless to me.

yea but I thought he meant he just tried to start the game. I probably just misunderstood I know the servers were up before then.

Green man gaming

That link is for the NA version, just make sure you get the EU one.

 

[WolvenOne]

Hmm, seems Ultros is going to be down to roughly noon my time. (Mountain time.)

Well, might as well stretch my legs and get something good to eat then.

 

[Alchemy]

Maintenance? What the fuck? I only have like an hour to play this morning. Damn it Squenix!

 

[wrongway]

Doh, I sit down to play and NA/EU is down. Figures.

I guess that means it's time for more coffee.

 

[Kyoufu]

Fellow Lancers, I'm trying to do the Phlebotomy (sp?) class quest but it seems I can't take the appropriate exit from Gridania to do it. Am I doing something wrong or do I need to progress in the main story quests?

 

[Teknoman]

Does the PS3 version have a launcher of sorts where you can see the latest news/updates, or does it just boot into the game like any other digital download?

Essentially the same as PC.

Identical launcher to PC version.

 

[LegendX48]

3 hour maintenance? Damn, woke up too early lol

 

[Reveirg]

Oh, from Twitter...

3 hours maintenance is an estimate, they'll give us some news when they have a better idea for when the server will come back up.

 

[Sblargh]

Work, you damn videogame. I want to go fishing!

 

[Torquill]

Data center/hardware for NA/EU must suck badly compared to the setup in Japan.

Suck is harsh. Under-powered for it's needs compared to the other, maybe, but remember that one data center is getting hit with 2 continents, the other by 1 country. Which do you THINK is going to break first if there are load issues waiting to pounce?

 

[androidcandy]

I miss my Chocobo we were just getting to know each other.

Where is it you need to go?

 

[Jinko]

Go out, get all my shit done for the day before having to head out to a friends birthday later tonight.

Maintenance. Jesus fuck Square. Its not often I've given you money in the past few years, but congrats on already fucking up. No idea why they didn't launch Early Access yesterday like all other beta's so they'd have this shit at least ready for the fucking weekend.

LOL chill out, its only a game.

If its anything like FFXI it'll get extended.

 

[Omnicent]

Guys I'm hooked on crafting. I almost don't want to level a DoW, but I will to complete the story line.

Guess I'll be leveling everything together on my ARC/BRD so I can atleast have HQ gear while leveling.

If its anything like FFXI it'll get extended.

SE are actually pretty good on maints.
HAVE you played any Nexon game? After playing Vindictus/DN I'm happy if a maint doesnt take 10+ hours (though NX has gotten a little better recently)

 

[Omnicent]

derp double post >.<

 

[Munba]

Early today i saw a thunderstorm during the night in gridania, the area was so dark with only some flashes around and thunder sounds. Amazing.

 

[Soi-Fong]

Are the pre-order bonusus and CE bonuses attached to the early access code or does it attach to your account?

Nope, but I played FFXI for something like 8 years.

Yea that happened to me once when I was fighting an NM FATE it was really cool.

 

[WinFonda]

okay... this is prob gonna sound really stupid but do i have to redownload the game if i was already in the open beta?

did i even have to buy it?! i didn't get a serial key or anything with my purchase...

PS3 version btw

 

[fluffydelusions]

What level do you get a mount at?

 

[Izayoi]

So hey, how does attribute redistribution work when you switch main classes?

I hear people building all STR, but what happens if I want to also play a magic class? Is there something I'm missing here or are you fucked without additional characters? Or are people just talking about gear?

I'm kinda confused.

 

[Reveirg]

I played FFXI for the first 4 years and they were more often than not spot-on for maintenance time....

Downloading the update and actually getting back to playing was the painful part.

 

[GraveRobberX]

What level do you get a mount at?

Once you finish

Spoiler

Ifrit

and join a Grand Company, 2,000 Seals I think

You get attribute points for that class

 

[Mister Zimbu]

As a legacy player, how do I get into the Early Access? It tells me I have to register a CD key.

 

[hamchan]

The opening cinematic with the guy talking kinda sucks compared to that trailer they put out before.

Guess it depends on the server. Midgardsormr constantly had extended maintenance times.

I've done

and joined a gc. So where do I go to get a mount and what's this 2,000 seals you speak of lol

When you switch classes, the attributes switch to that class

Classes doesn't share Attribute Points

So if you pump +5 STR in LNC, doesn't mean +5 in THM, all classes and their attribute points are separate
