It does. You still do decent damage when your songs are active, but they lower your damage output and slowly drain your mp. The mana song though is pretty useful for the mage-heavy parties.

Did you pay for 3 months of 1.x?
So I have a question about using abilities that are off the global cooldown. Playing WoW for so long has me really anal about GCD efficiency, which is one of the reasons why I have so many top parses on World of Logs (#4 bear tank on Tortos).
Anyway, I've been playing MRD, and I have two cooldowns that synergize nicely and line up with one another - Bloodbath and Berserk. The trouble is, I can't seem to activate them both without delaying the next weapon skill use. It seems to me that you can only do off-GCD abilities on the "upswing" of the timer, but there's also some kind of internal delay that prevents me from using another cooldown right away. Has anyone figured out exactly how this works? The lack of instant button response is driving me up a wall.

I got to stone a stone with stone...II. Some of the story quests where you end up traveling to every part of the world just to talk to some guy is pretty ridiculous. Some of it is being able to link areas and dungeons together with some sort of story and the rest is a gil sink, porting all over the place and spending coin.

whats cross class?
Hmmm. That's interesting. Sounds like it could be similar to song-twisting in EQ1. It will be fun to see how it actually works out.
That's one of the things I love so much about this game though. Even if I don't like the class, it's so easy to be something else.
The numbers 1, 0, 1, and 7 will mean something to you.
CE owners from 1.0 still get the CE stuff from ARR for free. I got mine when I logged in last night. Didn't even have to input a code. My question is that the current SE account you have link to the same account you had when you played 1.0. The only advantage to Legacy is lower monthly cost and early access to the game.
Well the NA and EU servers are different in name only (hosted in Montreal), but I know what you mean as a NA player on a Japanese server.
Godly god-rays. :O
no. hell I don't know, maybe? Its been too long.
I just know I remember hearing anyone who had 1.0 CE gets the new CE items.
Good to know in advance. Hate getting excited to come home and then press 0 repeatedly for hours on end.

What skills are worth pulling from CNJ as ARC in early game?
I was sure I'd want Heal—amazingly useful while CNJ—but it restores such little HP as ARC, barely making up for 1 hit from an enemy. I swapped for Protect instead (only 1 skill available yet). Are there others I should keep my eye out for as I level?
Also thinking of unlocking LNC before journeying from Gridania, if anyone more experienced wants to call out some skills from there I should be sure to nab
[thx in advance, as I won't see any responses for awhile: finished day of work, time for school! /gradLife]

Got into queue for ultros. Free weekend ,must be over yesh
For the servers that are supposedly locked for new character creation, keep trying!
This morning I was attempting to create a character on Ultros, since that's where the GAF players reside. I was saddened to see that I couldn't create my character since the World was "locked", but I kept refreshing every three minutes. After around 30 minutes or so I noticed the World was available and I created my character there with no issue. Unfortunately I didn't have much time to play at that point, but at least the character creation process is over and done with.
So, if you really want to create a character on GAF, get a cup of coffee/green tea and try diligently every three minutes, you might just get lucky! Despite what the post says, the lock isn't 100%. It seems to alternate and open servers at random times.

Well I got back online relatively quickly, so it's good.
As I just posted, it's still being locked, but apparently opens at random times.
You could try refreshing every three minutes and see if you happen to strike a chance. It worked for me!

I don't understand how some of you are getting in queue while I don't.
Mashing 0... you just changed my life.
Check the support page, but most likely you'll need to have written down the Emergency Removal Password beforehand. If not, you will have to sit through 2 hours of waiting to talk to a CS rep, where they will remove it for you in 5 seconds after they verify your account.

Yeah, I got back on when there was a sudden queue, but my friend who logged in 20 seconds later was kicked from the queue.

You have Physick as arc, which is better than heal (for Arc). Protect's good, but you'll need Aero as DPS

Sorry quick question, I had bought final fantasy 14 when it first came out 1.0. Supposedly I can play till the sept 9 but when I try to install the game from the client I get "The entered code has already been registered" Thats using the code from the back of the manual. Is there a different code I`m suppose to use? Or a different client?
lol I'm here to help.
Error 1017 still going on.
SE, What the fuck.
Holy crap that is a funny .gif
Bumping for the amazing flying thread. This should be important to everyone.
It's a limitation to prevent you from stacking like 4 buffs during one GCD for your next skill. Most of these skills have an animation that, while not triggering the GCD, consumes a half a second or so to start before you can blend out of it into your next action.

I thought I would awaken into the world when 1017 is no longer an issue..
I would have stayed logged on forever too, if it wasn't for that meddling maintenance.

Running around is good for solo, but in a group strategic placement is important. Attacking stuff out of order can also create chaos. For events and most likely boss fights in a group (not fates zerg stuff) rangers will most likely need to be in a specific range or spot (near mages, near bard, or near other dd). I don't know if rangers get better damage depending on their distance to their target though.
It's much easier to stay still in group anyway, solo running around is to create distance so you don't get hit. Group running around just prevents melee people from being able to dps, and takes a enmity source from the tank. Also if rangers can pull aggro from the tank just by doing their attacks they will learn to stop over dps..ing. Guild rangers should be a good asset, not so much pick up rangers since you don't know what you'd get. Though some may friggin surprise you.
Daydreams about the JP Samurai that blew my mind with his awesomeness, which inspired me to be a sam too.
