As one of the accused, I'd like to say that though I haven't played much yet, I really like the established mythos a lot, and I've got high hopes for the game. I hope it turns out well.
MAR (MRD?) don't have an AoE? Weird.

Just entered my early access code on my PS3 through the start up of the beta client. It's now saying another 6GB file has to be downloaded. I thought it said a re-install would not be necessary?

They probably did that so they could quickly get into dungeons.

Marauder has Over Power though, or whatever it is called.
It's their first MMO.

They do. It's called Overpower and you get it at level 12.
Just cancel that download and boot up your P4 client instead.
No, they have overpower which is even better than flash.
so use over power.... its a lv12 ability (conal aoe).... unless this not one of the dungeons, but a lv10 guildhest. In that case it's going to be rough

Sorry, wasn't sure the official abbreviation for MRD, but I have no idea how they tank or what they have access to since I play GLD. Was just saying he didn't have his GLD leveled up enough to get flash yet so that wouldn't have been an option for AoE should MRD not get any.
MRD has overpower and it feels much more powerful than flash for enmity, but I suppose it's harder to land.
Its easy to land, only problem is that you cant spam due to the high tp cost.

Using flash with MRD is for pussies.
You blast the fucking enemies with Overpower and watch that hate flowing to you with no problem.

A lot harder for SE now than it was for everyone else ten years ago, apparently. Does WoW make you wait for animations to finish before an ability can fire or make it impossible to communicate across servers?

What a wise one you are. I've been apart of numerous MMO launches,and I complain each time because its 2013 and retarded this stuff still exists. But, yes, it comes with the territory. It's just dumb to see a defense force for it.
Yeah... Not really comparable. A lot has changed since then.

Yeah someone had already posted a rotation for MRD tanking after his initial follow up post, I just don't know enough about them to have said either way. I was just commenting specifically on people telling him to use flash.

Still asking for a code when I boot up the P4 client. I created a new Square Enix ID for the early access code (got locked out of my old SE account for some reason). Would this have something to do with it?
Except for the "boss", the little creatures in the level 10 guildhests hit about as hard as the regular quest mobs, so it shouldn't have been an issue either way.

Yup. Got Invigorate as the first thing I did today.

As much as all the server issues remind me of previous MMO launches... so does all the complaining.
Always hilarious. People will completely forget about this a few weeks from now.

That's pretty much a design choice...you may not like it, but is not related network code.
Uhm, do you think WoW had a smooth launch? Heck, do you think WoW expansions come out without issue?

Yay finally home from work now I can play =D
...or not . Server isn't up. fuck

Yeah there have been far worse MMO launches in recent memory than FFXIV.

On what are you basing your assumption that load was bearable in phase 4 but sent it crashing in OA. We're both making assumptions here.
I totally forgot about GW2's launch being bad. I'm just going to trust Aeana being right because I really don't remember any issues. No one will care in a few weeks.

What is the actual most exciting solo class? There are no semi-interesting combat encounters to be had in the first 15 levels of this game.
EDIT: Also, just think of Early Access as Beta Phase 5.

is there a way to tune down battle effects on ps3 now?

Actually I think it's because I had to use the beta under an American PSN account (stupid SE sent me an American code when I live in UK). So when I try and boot up the P4 client on my actual UK PSN account it locks me out.
I really wanted to have some time to play tonight and now I'm looking at a 120 minute download.

Just got home from work, so excited to play, go to Login and my server isn't listed. 8:30? Sigh. Oh well no big deal, at least it's coming up tonight.
Wow: I get out at 6, servers go down at 6. hahah

So many people have discovered the secret Japanese plot to dissatisfy Western MMO players
Blood for Blood + Bloodbath + Overpower =
Yer goddamn right! Throw in some raging strikes for good measure too.
What happens is you become a Bard.
Its the Sastasha one in Western La Noseca
I'm not a GLD. All the other party members kept shouting was "Use flash use flash!" So im trying to chat, navigate the UI to find flash make sure i havent forgot to put it in my hotbar and tank at the same time, using a PS3 controller, its bloody impossible to be honest. I didnt know that Overload is better for aggro because the ingame description is kinda crap and doesnt mention what it does.
Its all cool now though, ive been reading stuff on google during this downtime, so im better prepared.
Hey my char name is "Sky Saber", feel free to add me
I played for a while as WAR 50 checking some 45+ FATEs in Mor Dhona and Coertas, there ain't no BfB on WAR 50.

I liked PUG after the first 10 levels. Using enemies attacks to land the side/back combos and keeps you in movement a lot in parties, way more than LNC who takes much more time to start ramping.
I was talking about MRD, which I'm leveling now.
Is very satisfying. (not saying is optimal, is just way more fun)

I remember it having issues. And if you've forgotten, you can always take a trip down memory lane~ http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=487844&page=98

If you can get to Eastern Thanlaan and are around 20+, we have a party going for FATE XP farming
I got from lvl 20 THM to 28 in 5.5 hours (rested XP bonus helped the push)
I think we hit Chain #81, not sure, just as the FATE ended, so did the Chain lol
Highbridge FATE gives you at least 40,000+ XP if you party up
Have 2-3 THM and go spamming r' us with Bliz II
The DD/Healers/Tank lose FATE XP due to not hitting many mobs, but they make it back due to being in party + Chain # XP
Telling you if you want come along, it's awesome here hehe
