My anecdotal evidence led me to believe the most popular class is Monk. Having pugged a ton of dungeons I have never had a single run without a monk. Summoner seems to be a distant second from what I have seen pugging. Only seen one Dragoon, and never been grouped with a Bard.

i have bards and summoners all the time. dragoons and monks are even.
 
I've had enough of these bloody login problems so I give up, going to play some Diablo 3.
 
how do you accumulate 30 quests? i never had more than 5 or 6 at a time.

Switch jobs a lot, go to every aetheryte and flag the surrounding quests. They stack up quite quickly. It's not even a complaint, I'm just wondering why they bother to cap it when it seemingly makes no difference.
 
Save yourselves grief and don't attempt to login till the capacity is increased. Yeah, it sucks, I hate it too. However, it beats spamming a login button or dealing with the stress of using scripts or turbo controllers just to play.
 
Yeah my game crashed last night at the end of a dungeon and I have been locked out since.

I tried for two hours last night to get back in, said screw it ill try first thing in the morning.

Its 630 AM here and its saying server is full.
 
All of this login issues reminds me of the good ol days of Phantasy Star Universe the online MP portion here in Japan. While not exactly the same, it was the bullshit of servers being too full so having to wait for people to drop or logout before being able to get on to play.

*If you drop, Ill be able to get on. --- is the basic translation of whats written on there. quite fitting to our situation here lol
 
can anyone explain the presence of mind skill? I don't understand its viability with only 10s duration and 300s recast?? When do you use it?

Also what are good cross class skills for WHM?

Curious about this as well.

I just bust it out in emergencies along with Divine Seal if I need some huge cures fast.
 
Is it really that fast to level up by joining random fates across the map? I thought they gave quite the low amount of xp, might it just be in the beginning?

It becomes an efficient way to level once you get to lv 30ish.. fates start giving 10k+ exp and certain ones give over 20k exp .. and they last very little time when you have over 100 people doing them. You can get 10k exp for doing less than 5 minutes worth of combat if you join a fate group and run around the map doing fates.

I'm at 39 and I spent about an hour running around Coerthas last night with a fate group and got tons of exp without having to worry about getting anything less than a gold contribution (if you're in a group, your accomplishments are counted along with everyone elses so everyone gets gold or w/e)
 
ok so is with he patch hitting tonight (in uk here) or tomorrow and is it the apparant fix all patch people have been saying? and if servers go down tonight, what time? i play this game while on tredmill see and and need to know if that will be possible tonight.

yes you read that right, treadmill, i az fat skillz init.

Are you serious? How does that work?

lol, I have a cross-trainer/exercise bike parked right in front of my monitor for when i'm watching netflix, it works a treat. But I doubt I'd ever have the concentration to actually play a game at the same time.
 
I think I'm going to wait till they sort these issues out. Can't even login early morning anymore. Went to login, can't click start menu then like 2 seconds later lobby error entire thing closes. Opened up again and just got a 1017 right at the main menu, didn't click anything. Last time just clicked start and lobby error and entire thing closes. Yeah, fuck it, not going to bother trying anymore until after maintenance and see if it fixes anything (doubtful).

I think Presence of Mind is pretty useless but it's something that supposedly marginally speeds up your spellcasting.

Cross class skills highly beneficial to WHM are Surecast (Lvl 8) and Swiftcast (Lvl 26) from THM. Surecast makes it so your next spell cannot be interrupted. Swiftcast makes it so your next spell is instacast. Both abilities are instant and have reasonably short cooldown times (30s and 60s respectively).

Hella better than that lousy Presence of Mind.

So Swiftcast can make Revive instant? That alone might be worth leveling THM.
 
Any specific locations? I just did the lvl 20 class quest and got an armor piece from that.

The trick seems to be to keep up the story quests to around your level. They'll direct you to areas where you can get more quests in your level range which will provide you with the rest of your gear.

Now...if this is your second class, I don't know.
 
Jesus I played too much today

15 hours with maybe a 45 minute down time in between

Leveled CNJ to 15 (from level 5) and took 25 GLD to 35 PLD in that time frame

Now I can continue main mission and not lose all that chunk of XP if I had continued on my 50 BLM

Great back and forth for me now for main missions, PLD eats the story XP and if necessary can change to BLM for dungeons ^_^ or Tank
 
Wow. Stone Vigil was incredible and quite intense. These dungeons just keep getting better and better.
That was the first dungeon where I actually felt like I was in peril even during regular encounters.

Yea, one of my favorite dungeons, the boss fight was great, even though our poor whm died over and over :<
 
Any interesting perks at lvl50 I can get? Whms get a unicorn, what do I get as pld :(?

Not really anything other than that crushing weight of being the focal point of the Ifrit Hardmode battle. No pressure.

The Unicorn mount was a level 30 reward for CNJ as a way to get more people to be healers. It's not that hard anyway to get to 30 and there aren't really any challenging dungeons up to that point either.

Edit: I wish the maintenance was at a better time, but I'll try to get back in for an hour later tonight. Just enough time to run around and level botany.
 
8:11 am est, world full, school has started, lie to me more about AFK'ers

Seriously, what a fucking joke. Yesterday we were able to pretend it was just because of the holiday and everyone being home. Today, it's obvious there are a ton of people just leaving the game running.

Oh, well. It let me make my new character on Ultros. Now, maybe I'll be able to play it tomorrow.

I was WHM. It was pretty fun! I feel like the three aevis pack just before the last boss was harder than the last boss. Not that the design of the last boss wasn't awesome. Really enjoyed that one, and it was a rush for me as a healer.

The feedback from the later dungeons keeps me motivated when leveling. I can't wait!

Cool I'll just check around the next area it sends me. Thanks!
