Do you have to quest the new post 50 job actions or do they just unlock?

Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward |OT| Raiders of the Void Ark
- Thread starter Trojita
- Start date
They should be available on the web store around Augustish I think they said. Japan Expo (which is over now) and well now SDCC are just getting them first.
Yeah... Event exclusive for a bit.

They will be but if you don't want to wait you could ask a friend who is going to SDCC to buy one for you.
I'm still gonna try to give both normal and savage a shot (you still shouldn't need statics for anything imo. A nice thing to inspire peak performance teamwork sure, but they shouldn't be something aimed as a necessity for content) but I really hope whatever the next content after Alex is balanced to more challenging but not brain bustingly so.
I agree. Also, this one...

When it kicks up at 3:51 I just want to hop on a flying mount and soar. Often times, I do!

Unfortunately this is a Final Fantasy game, accessibility will always be king. Though this appears to be a trend among all MMOs now.
MCHM in TERA was nice but aside from that...

so the open world mobs are still piss easy and we still don't have smaller scale mid tier content? nothing casual but skilled players can look forward to?
SE, you goddamn losers.

I guess the single Bard upside is that AoE should be higher?
They really do need to branch out a bit and move away from this four man standard dungeon being easy and eight man raid content being the hardest. Different variety would be nice.

Successful losers!
I'm not really asking them to eliminate or reduce the accessible content--Alex story apparently being kind of faceroll is a good thing for the game overall, if personally disappointing--just something I'd like to see added. Call it Savage Mode for some of the future HM dungeons? It's just disappointing that content choices until 3.1 are going to be nonchallenging stuff, the two EX Primals we're going to outgear more and more, and then Alex Savage on lockout.
It's mostly that I liked the idea of Savage SCoB--an efficient-ish way to add in legitimately challenging content without developing something from the ground up--but the implementation was shaky and failed to find much of an audience. They appear to have given up on it entirely (no Savage Bennu
), where I'd like to see them try something similar but maybe targeting smaller groups of people.

Likewise! One of my other go-to ones
I love just wandering about the Dravanian Forelands by air while listening to it.I have also spent far too much time just sitting around on benches in Ishgard soaking up the atmosphere and enjoying the music.
I Can't help it, it's just so good and the soundtrack is by far one of the best things about the expansion pack for me!
... (no Savage Bennu
:v :v :v :V :V :V :V :V

that's a different topic. but i'm curious. do we know how well HW sold? media create didn't look so great.
...after three Bennu have been summoned, they will spawn at the edges of the arena and perform T9S divebombs for the remainder of the battle.
When I saw that, the small, evil part of me hoped they added another quest similar to how original CT had to be unlocked.
You are a monster.
But yeah, they kinda need to fix FATEs instead of adding more... Really, there is no point in doing them, nearly everything else gives more exp. And, well, we have the Ceruleum Factory area who is full of easy farmable FATEs: no point in doing Heavensward ones (and this particular option probably remains the most interesting one for people needing to level up from 50 to 51 after they've done their daily roulette).
"The development team definitely understands all of the feedback everyone has been posting in regards to the methods for obtaining items to upgrade equipment that can be purchased with Allagan tomestones of law. They're currently in the midst of planning new ways to obtain these items, and while it didn't make it in time for Patch 3.01, they will be working towards implementing it in patch 3.05."
Good news for hunt haters.
Good news for hunt haters.
That'll be for the raid that isn't Alexander, and it'll require all the boss FATEs in Heavensward
Nice, we definitely need more exp from fates.
So if I'm getting this right, SE understood from all our feedback that new bard abilities needed to be nerfed while still being a spellcaster? What in the actual F***. This has made me level my BLM before my PLd and all but guarantee DRG follows. This is just.... I don't even know what this is but if sucks. Just release a goddamn Ranger already so Bard can go away since they don't know what the hell they want with it. Right now we're a Range/Spellcaster/Support, we're a confused job.

Woot!
From what I understand you get 5 feathers for each recruit, but you'll only get feathers from time subscribed from the recruit that has been subbed the longest.
Same day.

i was fine doing daily hunts for upgrades. i only killed one A in HW, because i was just next to it and they were short on tanks.
FFXI did it right by always having "impossible content" available (i.e. AV) for people to constantly work towards. I mean all they would need is a couple bosses where it's nearly impossible to clear with current HP & DPS levels until maybe i230, so everyone has something to work on.
And Turn 5 was insanely hard until the first nerf right due to twisters? See, that's what they need to have. Near impossible content that takes a couple patches until the average raider can clear. Gives something for the world firsts to do and the rest of us to learn with.

Atmosphere is still like a tire fire in here I see
Why play if you hate it so much

Yeah T5 scared many, many people. I remember a lot of groups content with doing 1-4 for the week and going on their way.
In before 4.0 hunts.
And what's wrong with that? Why does the average player need to be able to clear everything? Most people didn't beat Ozma in FF9 for example.
Are you forgetting how long it took for you to clear turns 9 and 13 after they were released?

I like how FATEs and hunts have the exact opposite problems. HW FATEs have too much HP for little reward. Hunts don't have enough HP and everyone needs the shit.
I think their HP scaling system for FATEs is fine, just HW somehow scales too well. I don't get why hunts don't scale, or why hunts can't be FATEs.
There are so many boss FATEs around HW that no one touches. I wonder if that'd still be the case if they all dropped Centurio.

I know better than to believe your lies.
Because its a poor use of resources to design content that only a small fraction of your player base will see as opposed to designing content that the majority will see. Difficulty modes, Normal & Savage seem a good way to get a solid return on the man hours invested while still having something for the niche hardcore audience. Going even further I'd suggest that those interested in hardcore raiding are a shrinking audience as games catering towards them have done poorly recently (though there are of course other factors involved).

Because people actually care about the story in this game? People get really salty in mmos when they can't see the full story, especially when said story is a continuation of 1.0. Coil/Alexander actually have some amount of story to them also, Ozma had nothing.

Would definitely be nice to have another source of Centurio.
The biggest problem the title suffers from is there isn't enough to do for that dedicated hardcore audience. There's one raid every six months. Now if there was an added difficulty for content such as CT (or whatever the next one is) I believe complaining would diminish.
However, there really is very little for this type of individual to do. You need to be able to satisfy both and I honestly don't understand why that's so hard since they tune every fight down anyways. Just tune twice.

I meant expansions, not patches. It was like over a year before the first people legitimately cleared Absolute Virtue in FFXI, but it always gave people something to try and see if they can figure out a strat to beat him.
Further to my point, a lot of the player base didn't beat CoP in FFXI for a while. Why does the story need to be easy? Or at least why can't you do side stories (like Coil and Alex are) with difficulty?
People will be salty whenever they can't beat stuff. A lot of people don't like Demon Souls because they can't beat it, but it doesn't stop the developer. And I understand the economics of MMOs, but FFXI was very profitable.
