Cure needs to just have sub targeting like provoke does.

EDIT: I mean while you are fighting an enemy, if you choose provoke, another smaller reticule pops up, and you can target any nearby enemy for provoke, without disengaging the current enemy.

If cure worked like that, you would have the same sub target selecter pop up, starting on yourself, and just be able to cycle through party members without disengaging the enemy.

You might lol at me but I just failed 3 leve's. This makes no sense because yesterday I passed two in a row doing my method and this is the first time I've had issues. Did they change crafting results? This is odd.

Actually I dont think the orb has anything to do with synthing, since it only pops up during blacksmithing or anything that has something to do with welding.

I realize they would nerf the xp given when on leves, but holy shit that nerfed it into the ground. I figured they would change the retimer to balance it out but not yet. Granted, I only tried the Camp Beard Rock ones but holy crap.

Also..uh, aren't there two other starting nations or something? How come these areas aren't being tested as well?

Yeah, maybe it just slows down after hitting rank 10, but I went from rank 1-8 doing 4 leves at Camp Bearded Rock on Saturday. Completed 3 leves at Camp Skull Valley today and didn't get one rank.

It does, a lot. Even without the leves, I was getting enough exp from killing little rats to level me up in 3-4 kills at the beginning. Today at physical lvl 11, rank 9, I was getting like 350-400 exp and 120-150 rank points (with total level exp equaling 23k and rank up around 5.5k).

Did some mining for a while and got 1000exp for every thing I dug up, that was a nice way to quickly boost physical level.

Where do I buy the tools for Blacksmithing? I went to the guild and the only guy that sold anything sold the tools to become an Armorsmith.

there were stories posted earlier today detailing an event with the two other nations at ffxivcore and gamespot, both were pulled temporarily apparently because the embargo is lifted at 8pm...

Lol. I cant grasp it. Im sure itll be ironed our or someone will figure out the system behind it.
 
Tried Goldsmithing for the first time, I like the crafting system. Although I do not really understand what exactly is going on, nor what's better as far as choices, but it was interesting at least. I could see myself getting into it once I know what I am actually doing. Very cool to earn exp from crafting too.

Do you guys think Disciples of Hand will have enough gil and supplies to make items? It seems to me, you would want a melee or mage class to earn items, and then craft as a secondary class.

You can do local leves to earn gil and exp/skill as well as guildmarks for recipe books. They give you the materials to make the items.

I really believe that they made crafting harder. Before the mini update crafting was really easy and I didn't have to hardly think to get the item made. Now, it really doesn't matter what you do. Even if you make a item and try to repeat what you did to make it, you will still fail on the next item.

I was 85% done with an item with 50% durability and I selected standard and it dropped down to a fail. Its much harder to make anything.

Is there a GAF LS on Shadowlord?

Yes most people are on Shadowlord.

i noticed a small improvement in menu speed

Damn 2 run-time errors cost me 2 quests. I hope they find a way to address errors and disconnects during quests. So annoying to have a fail and wait 48 hrs. Sheesh!

Why are you looking for a Lancer guild?

all of the basic weapons for you to switch classes is sold at thundersticks and abilites are automatically trained and added to the ability menu

I dunno, I want to learn some new abilities. I'm Lv7 and Rank 5 already and all I got is Light Thrust.

Go to Actions & Traits -> choose the drop down menu on the right with the keyboard and go to Lancer. You should know more than light thrust i'd think...also talk to Baderon.

Just got my new leves, and they only go to Bloodshore still. I'm lv 20 phys/ 18 glad, was hoping something more would open up. Is the lv 20 Bloodshore leves as high as it gets in beta 3?

According to japanese sites, it seems open beta in early september will have ul'dah and gridania inside. Btw, take it as rumor for now.

Eorzeapedia has a rough trasnlation of the game watch article. It basically states that open beta starts in September and will add more guildleves and give us Gridania and Ul'Dah to start in. More details will be announced shortly.

It also says that it will be shown at Gamescom but I think we knew that already.

Why couldn't they just start Beta 3 like this instead of waiting 22 days before retail release?

Is there any way to make the game fullscreen? I just got in to the beta and I can not seem to find a graphics menu.

ffxivconfig.exe is what you want. Click on that to get the config options. You do most of the graphics config outside of the main game. In there youll find your textures, AA, DoF, resolution, and windowed/full screen.

After you config everything, use ffxivboot.exe to play.

There's a separate configuration utility you need to run before you start the game. Check your start menu.

Seeing gridania first zone screens (my fave starting point for now), really hope to not have only 'corridors' and 'rooms' in the forest.. after playing la noscea vast zone i couldn't play in there, also thinking to the crowd of people around in the release.

Becareful buying accessories, you are only allocated 12 slot points and each item costs 3 points each, so you can only wear 4 accessories although we have 9 slots in total... WHY SE WHY ?

He looked at me once too. I ran. The he stuck out his tongue from 25 feet away and pulled me back and killed me.

That ability is quite neat.

They probably want to release a newer build with more fixes and adjustments, so they must need the extra days of work.
