For those tanking with a controller, has PLD or WAR been easier to utilize?

I would go PLD if playing with a controller. WAR needs a ton of keybinds to be played well.

 

[Blablurn]

I started with the controller, but switched back to keyboard quick.

 

[Perfect Cha0s]

I finally got a look that I really like on my 30 Conjurer, and am in the process of finishing the quest to unlock White Mage. What are everyones' impressions of the Arcanist? I really hated my time playing one as a prereq. for WHM. =/

 

[Revolutionary]

Fuck yeah, got my CE stuff corrected. Coeurl mount time!

 

[Kyon]

getting gc chocobo is actually a "side" story quest
yes it had the flaming quest sign symbol that shows it's storyline quest, but it's not the main story quest

try speaking with minfilia?

Won't let me enter the sands to talk to her

EDIT: o it just took a bit to load

I've been doing pretty well with a controller in that class. I means, seems like it anyway. <_<;;

I've said this a few times in this thread, but I love ACN. Such a fun class to me. I'm going to have to keep my eye out on other dot casters. The WoW Warlock wasn't this fun.

Pugilist is still my main though. Can't wait to play again tomorrow!

 

[Strife In a Teacup]

I made a char on Ultros like 20 mins ago. So it is still up. Actually I saw a lot of servers up for char creation.

Oooh. I'll definitely look into it then. Petless, dot-heavy builds were among my favorites back in WoW.

By the way, what is it that you like about Pugilist? What do they bring to the table - massive damage? I subbed monk for a while back in vanilla FFXI just because I couldn't find anything to go with Thief. Just seemed like a bunch of fistacuffs with some chakra thrown in.

 

[Rafterman]

So what's the general consensus on tank classes? I've never played one but I thought I might go for Paladin. Are they pretty solid and is that a good choice for my first tank class?

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

I started with the controller, but switched back to keyboard quick.

Yep, I tried it out earlier and it just wasn't going to work out. They aren't very intuitive, tbqh.

 

[tiggerkiddo]

People have some really hilarious names but I also saw some cool ones like Yunalesca, someone with the surname the same as Kefka...etc etc.

For me, pugilists are kinda like rogues of other mmos. You have absurdly high attack speed and low global cooldown (with greased lightning stacks up), and you always have to be mindful of your own position in regard of the enemy.

The pugilist guild quest line is also absolutely hilarious

How does attribute point allocation work when changing classes?

 

[Reknoc]

Thought I'd try and buy my 3 month sub before leaving for work but its down for maintenance. Am I cursed to never get a cool mount lol

 

[C.Dark.DN]

Is lvl 30 Wrath of the Titan the last main scenario quest?

damn this game is creepy

 

[weevles]

Oops, I can't buy the game because Square halted digital orders until they add more servers.

I don't think an MMO has ever gone right at launch. >_<

 

[Sakura]

Woo finally got my Warrior. Levelling a Gladiator to 15 was such a pain... Now to try Haukke Manor.

I'm also a Conjurer going for WHM. Playing as an Arcanist wasn't too bad IMO, but questing in and around Limsa was absolutely dreadful. There are some nice views, but trying to navigate those areas on foot while not knowing where to get new quests made for a bad experience.

Three nights in a row I've logged onto Lamia-US with no queue and no problems. Just hopped right in...

Yes! Master Hamon rocks!

Arcanist looks like it gets the best quest name though...

What's in the Box

 

[C.Dark.DN]

Man, I'm almost 25 and I don't have the 4th or 5th dungeon unlocked. I'm actually about 13 quests out from unlocking the 5th.

 

[Zand]

On selling items to the market using retainers, what is the supposed method of determining market price when talking to the retainer? Are you supposed to check the market board -> write down the prices -> then call your retainer and put in the prices?

Is that supposed to be the way how it's done? Seems tedious... can you even call your retainer at the markets?


Also, what does the Max value on foodstuff buffs mean? Mean you can get a % increase to a stat but it only gives to the maximum value indicated?

There is button at the top of the window that opens when price items you want to sell. That button will open a window with a list of recent prices for that item. Very simple.

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

Why do I keep getting screen tearing? I have v-sync and triple buffering turned on via nVidia control panel and have a locked 60 FPS in-game.

 

[KePoW]

What do the letters next to an enemy target mean?

 

[Victrix]

Windowed fullscreen? iirc triple buffering only works fullscreen, I could be wrong on that though

 

[WolvenOne]

Not sure, haven't been getting it in mine, and I'm mostly ignoring those features. Just sticking to the 60fps lock that's build into the game.

 

[Daante]

Any graphic performance guides out there? , like witch one of the graphical options that you can uncheck so you get optimal performance and steady 60 FPS? ,

My rig: i5-3570k @ 3,4ghz , Asus GTX 760/2GB , 8GB Ram, Win 7/64 bit

Played to lvl 10 yesterday. REALLY enjoying this game, been MMO free since Wow Cata.

 

[Totakeke]

When you talk to the retainer? That would be great. I'll try it later.



Also, how does inventory auto-sort work exactly? It kinds of work but it doesn't really organize the inventory?

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

Ah, I'm on borderless right now. Guess I'll switch to fullscreen and see if that helps.

You can still buy it from other digital outlets.

Just got my archer to 15. THM is only 18, but I wanted to get that out of the way. Time for bed. /yawn

Love the designs featured in this game:

 

[-tetsuo-]

Am I the only that thinks this game "feels" like FFXI? It really does seem like the sequel to that game.

 

[desu]

I started with the controller, but switched back to keyboard quick.

Really?

I am a total m/kb user, but at gamescom I had to play WHM with controller and it was really really good, I was actually really surprised and I can totally see myself playing WHM in the future with controller.

For other things I imagine it might not be that perfect.

I started with my XBox controller but changed very quick. I don't know. Was too much clicking for me. K/M feels more natural to me. But hey, I guess with some more practice even controllers could work.

 

[Kenai]

Am I the only that thinks this game "feels" like FFXI? It really does seem like the sequel to that game.

It took just about everything I hated about the old FFXI (and 1.0) and threw it to the wind while leaving most of the good stuff. I'm taking it a bit easier with the leveling now that I have my "main" unlocked but the difficulty is starting to ramp up in the 30s, which feels right to me. The Titan fight was so amazing, I'm excited to see what's in store for endgame.

 

[Reknoc]

So, when do you get the veteran stuff? I believe people have them? I've set up a 90 day sub but I guess I don't pay until my free time is up (in about 12 days because S-E hates 1.0 owners).

 

[Kiraly]

I can't buy this on PSN?

 

[-tetsuo-]

Such as? It is probably stuff that I wish was still in it lol

Comes down to what you're playing, if you like WHM, try to play it in a dungeon with controller and the cross menu. Works pretty well imho.

 

[Blablurn]

Soooo. how much different to 1.0 is it? Was 1.0 really that bad?

 

[Strife In a Teacup]

Well I made three characters on Ultros so I think it's safe to say (at least at this time of night) the character restrictions are lifted. Most all the NA servers were open for char creation still as well.

 

[Dice]

In MMOs there is so much running that I prefer controller. Yeah you can use autorun toggle but it's not the same. It is one area where the loose DS3 sticks are really nice. I'm actually considering getting one to use with this game.

 

[glaurung]

Soooo. how much different to 1.0 is it? Was 1.0 really that bad?

Let me put it this way: with 1.0 they should have put sedatives in the game box, because everything you did took fucking ages. Something as simple as crafting took minutes to set up and handle.

With ARR, the pace is better by far. By which I mean, you actually get shit done, not spend hundreds of hours waiting after dialog boxes.
