I think I'll play this game in a few months when all the idiots leave, I hate waiting 20 mins for a queue then getting grouped with retards and wasting my time. This game is more frustrating than 1.0 because of the explosion of idiots.

I haven't encountered a bad group yet, thankfully. The furthest I've been so far is Halatali but everyone did fine in that. I am playing a conjurerer and none of us died. They also refused to role on an awesome staff skin could get it. I guess I've been lucky.

This happens in every MMO nowadays, man. They will always be there.
 
Kinda burnt myself out atm and I really slowed down these past few days. Reached level 46 and all that is left to level is FATE parties, which after 1 hour of dealing with the zerg is enough to put me to sleep... I have no idea why SE could not have added more questing content for the 45+ areas. I never thought I would say this but christ do I miss mindless quests, as they are far superior than this mind numbing fate system that is currently in game. I don't see myself leveling another class anytime soon when i reach 50 if fate spams are still the best method to level.

I'm at 43, trying to level with Fate Farming and its soul crushing.

So glad I'm leveling classes simultaneously, by the time I'm around that level with my classes, they'll probably have added more content lol

Wait till you get to the higher level dungeons. The dickhead elitists start coming out in droves. It's particularly worse for me cos I'm on a non-GAF server, and the FC in I'm has almost no 40+ level players, so I'm always forced to use DF. 40+ DF is friggin Russian Roulette in terms of the players you get grouped with.

Yeah I don't understand SE's mentality regarding the lack of quests after 45+

It will be interesting to see how people fate level on low pop servers. I also got very bored of fate leveling.
 
I swear, I have shit luck with loot in dungeons.

I got a decent robe for my Acn... At lv 20. Ran sastasha today as a cnj and got shit. Bah.

Felt like that today too but I just went ham and grinded out 2 levels to put myself ahead of the quests. Just get yourself up to Northern Thanalan and put on some music or a movie.
 
I'm amazed at how high level some of y'all already are. I've been playing solid every evening after work since launch, and I'm just about to hit lvl 30. Impressive, guys! Wish I had more time to play!
 
So I wait 40 minutes to get into Brayfox only to have a tank who immediately dies in the first 4 battles then quits, 5 minutes later the rest of the party follow suit. I'm ruing my decision to roll DPS.
 
People ditching Ifrit HM if there's no pally or AOE LB. Minor inconvenience but a little silly at the same time.
 
So guys, after doing a lot of thinking I decided to give in and play this (my backlog be danmed!)

That said, it's going to be my first real MMO so how should I start playing this without beeing called an idiot, noob or dickhead? How should I behave? I want to take my time learning the whole system, but I don't want to be in anybody's way.

Also, I like to play RPGs with ranged weapons and attacks. Magic, Bow and/or Lance. Which class should I go for?
 
Reached lvl 48 and I'm bored :(

Doing DD and Chimera all day is just..... Also feels like rested bonus barely gives anything even though the line is filled to the end

Play with gaf or your friends if possible.

Archer might be a good class for you.
There's solo mission right up until level 15, so you won't feel pressure to act a certain way.
Also, if you choose Archer or a mage class, you'll have less responsibility in dungeons, because you'll be DPS, simply following the tank's lead (unless you're Conjurer, expected to heal)

My advice is just to go at your own pace, when you reach level 10, you can switch between classes and try your hand at gathering and crafting. Give them all a go :)
 
When can you get the archer class? I don't see a trainer in Ul'dah. Should have never picked gladiator, at least the armors look cool.

at level 10 you can change classes
at level 15 you can go to other starting areas and archer is in gridania
 
How do you guys name your retainers. I named my Chocobo after my cat, which was easy enough, now I'm having trouble with the retainers.
 
Trying to do the harder than rock quest (low lev pugilist) and can't interact with the rocks. Don't appear to have the requisite material to interact with the rocks. But have finished they preceding quest, so don't see how that happened. The quest is sending me to the rocks and not asking me to gather anything else. Any ideas/ help would really be appreciated.

Yeah, I know about changing. My gladiator is level 16, and I have a pugilist at 3. I don't even know how to get to gridania. lol
 
So, if I get a "this world is already full... players in que... xxx" message, do I stay at this screen, or keep mashing away?

Not quite sure.

My retainer is called Bestbuy because you gotta snap those brand names up quickly. My chocobo is called Boco of course. The one true chocobo name.

If you read the text log/look at the side thing it should say you need to use your bootshine combo on them.

Dang, thought bootshine was an item that I was missing!

Thanks for the info, going to have to log back in and try it now....
 
Spending more time futzing with sweetFX than playing the game at this point.

lol i wonder if we'll ever see something similar return.

Hehe. I was at a bar last night and ran into an old friend who happened to mention that he's playing FF14 now. He said that he never tried out 1.0 because he "heard it sucked ass", but is having a fairly good time in 2.0.

He asked me how 1.0 was, so I proceeded to regale him with tales of yore.
