I'm not sure how true this is..my buddy preordered through PSN exactly like I did and his shows the right screen his has the message about early access rather than the no service

I figure its like the whole pre-order code mess. Some people were able to get their codes, but the majority were not able to until SE made more of the servers live. Either way I stopped worry about it, so I can actually get something done at work. I'll just pray for the best on Saturday.

But THM is actually a better solo class than BLM, I mean man, Stoneskin, STONEfuckinSKIN!

And y'know... Cure and Protect

 

[C.Dark.DN]

Anyone else pre-ordered through GMG and got an EU code? I can't redeem it since my account is NA

Im your GMG receipt says NA you have the right region from them. When you go to get your 20 digit code you might get a RAAE (Eu) code if the website wonked out and default logged you into the wrong region.

 

[Khrno]

And y'know... Cure

To be honest, no.

Stoneskin, Protect, and hell, even Raise, are better spells than Cure after let's say, level 20, maybe 25.

1-20, yeah, Cure all the way, but later on, those 200~ HP cured are a joke.

 

[Isaccard]

Could probably squeeze this in the OT for those wanting an abridged version of the story so far, for those who're interested but didint play 1.0.

I'll stop with the images now lol

 

[MrTeachwell]

But Marauder has been a tank since 2010's 1.0 Alpha... there's nothing sudden about that..

Also you said that you're a Legacy player, so how is it knowing that MRD are tanks a "sudden revelation", I don't get wtf you mean.

Was thinking much the same thing after reading the 'sudden revelation' comment. I played MRD/WAR in 1.0 and often out tanked the gladiators, who either had trouble managing hate or weren't geared appropriately. Although if they did have the HP/DEF advantage.

After seeing the 'ultimate weapon' for gladiators though I will definitely be working towards that sooner or later. First priority this weekend will be finishing up the main story quests and catching a minion or two (the little crab was my favourite mob in FF11 so I'd love to have one of those following me around.

 

[Dog food is delicious]

Someone verify something for me?

Starting a Free Company requires you to be at level 25+, costs 15,000 gil, and requires 3 people to sign the charter, right?

 

[Xavien]

To be honest, no.

Really, it scales that poorly on a THM? surprising. Does caster gear split beyond lvl 20 or something? cause all armour i've seen for casters while playing beta had equal amounts MND and INT.

 

[C.Dark.DN]

So you can use the benchmark tool to create the look of your retainers

I have something to do!?

 

[Unknown Soldier]

I'm checking down the list:

- Lawn mowed
- Plants watered
- Dishes washed
- Costco run made, food bought
- Clothing washed

I still have a few things to do:

- Vacuum the floors
- Trader Joe's run, additional food

Things are looking good for launch!

No, it's mostly the same for all 3 mages, but THM (and ACN) gets INT traits, while CNJs get MND traits, plus putting all your bonus stats on INT doesn't particularly help with anything MND based, a.k.a Cure I.

Maybe 200 is low at lv50, but don't expect anything like 500, seriously the number is closer to 200 than 500.

[Chie Satonaka]

Having played both 1.0 and ARR, a lot of people still don't seem to get that Marauders are tanks.

 

[akaoni]

My Legacy friend was harassing me with that giant mount.

To be honest, MRD's from 1.0 launch until their Yoshi nerf (a.k.a 1.18 or whatever update came after Ifrit when they added combos), was an awesome dps AND tank, I think they actually deserved the nerf, but man, it did hurt me. Anyway MRD has always been a tank since the very start of 1.0

 

[Isaccard]

Haha, no I meant your character name was an obvious target of the naming policy. But the general sentiment is that it's not likely to be enforced so I wouldn't worry much. Should come up with a back up name, just incase maybe

I am about to go get food tonight. Any suggestions for quick (rather cheap) and easy yet not incredibly unhealthy?

 

[Nuts.Pistachio_Nuts!]

Having phase 4 client downloaded means I can skip downloading again for early access right? If not well gotta wait for hours again downloading new client ...booooo.

 

[C.Dark.DN]

Whoa, wait what, where whaaaa please share this knowledge

Appatently when you are able to create a retainer it asks if you want to load saved char data.

I was looking for a confirmation on hurr

 

[SoraanTribal]

I have the Goobbue mount, but I don't even really like or use it, lol. It's too big and feels way too slow compared to the chocobo. xD

 

[Augemitbutter]

Look at that armor. Just look at it.

Plus, I wanna jump like Freya =p

was a bit boring for me at first, but the class grew on me. but i'm sticking with tank.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Oh sheeet. I'm going to Trader Joes tomorrow as well. Any recommendations?

Hmm.

Well, the frozen section has some amazing enchiladas. You can get them from the fresh premade meals section too if you'll eat them within a day or two.

I really like their sushi, and I also really like the "Greek tacos" from the fresh premade section. I don't know what their real name is, but they are this Greek gyro-like thing in flatbread folded like a taco.

I also gotta have a few boxes of the mochi ice cream, that's something I always pick up when I'm there.

For those of you like me who are heading straight home from work to play since I'm working Saturday (uggggg), don't forget you get a huge fucking sandwich and a bowl of soup from Safeway for like $6 with your Club Card!

Tomorrow is

- Grocery store
- Oil change
- Yard work
- Bed early

Then it's party time.

 

[edotlee]

I was leveling up around the Central Shroud area when a huge Gobbue was sprinting towards me. Scared for my life I hit the sprint button and started to run, but then I realized it was just a mount. --;

Never tried their enchiladas but those and the greek tacos sound good, thanks. Mochi ice cream sounds rather fitting as well.

 

[LowParry]

So who's all sleeping in early, only to wake up and log in a few minutes past the 5AM time. Cause I sure as hell am.

Yep, phase 4 client is the release client. So no extra client download required.

 

[Khrno]

Although the speed of all mounts is the same, the Gobbue does seems slower due to the size. To be honest I will only use the Ahriman from subscribing 3 months, or the Chocobo with Behemoth barding.

 

[we.are.the.armada]

For anybody going to Trader Joes, get some pulled pork and buns. Solid choice!

Hey speaking of food, is there a site that lists all of the foods in game and their recipes?

You're forgetting about the nerf to Stoneskin, it wouldn't even last a single hit against anything you would actually need/want to use it for considering how little 10% of a THM's HP pool is.

 

[Animekatt]

Yeah, when I used the name back at the 1.0 launch, I was going for a more recognizable name, as I've used an original name in XI. I hope they don't enforce it, as everyone knows me as "Ammy". XD

 

[Nuts.Pistachio_Nuts!]

Yep, phase 4 client is the release client. So no extra client download required.

Nice

 

[The Karasumori]

Oh god, earlier in the day I managed to log into the client with all my proper credentials to install the patch and now my password no longer works on either the website or the client. Telling me my password is wrong. Please tell me I wasn't hacked. My password is muscle memory at this point.

Pulled pork sandwiches, huh? This sounds like a good idea!

 

[LowParry]

Wait, the full client is just (rounded) 9 gigs? I'd of thought it'd be a little bigger than that. Game looks so damn good for that much gig space.

Any idea if the beta client and launch client are the same deal? In other words should I delete my beta client or keep it?
