Was in the vault last night with a white mage that could not heal everyone. It was all weird because there would be long pauses in-between casts.

Must have forgotten he was playing WHM and not SCH.
If you're talking about me, I have all the cross class skills at my disposal since forever ago and was mostly interested to hear more about whether anyone bothered with fracture (as expected, the answer appears to be no).
Ken said:
Did not know about that change, and that's cool.
Will probably stick mercy stroke in even though the cooldown always made it a pretty disappointing skill, but when there's not five worthwhile skills to include I may as well.
Thanks all.

I've been hearing about a lot of bots running instances lately. Those farmers have to hit 60 somehow.

hey guys,i have need help,when i try to renew my subscription i get the error 406 and when i try to buy crysta i get the error 11000
Don't worry, he wasn't talking to you.
Wasn't worried, just a bit confused.
You should remain confused for hating on Fracture. Fracture is the highest DPS GCD in the game.

Based on my Google search you have to take this up with Customer Support:

You mentioned that last night. Wish i heard some of it.
If this happens to anyone, be sure to copy and paste that whole convo into a word documentl
I could just start one myself. I'm pro at riling up the masses.
Wut?
The sidequests are awful, you should be glad you are away instead of experiencing the Moogle POS questlines.
Moogle sidequests are enough to invoke PTSD
Can't wait for King Moogle Mog Reveangence 2: Electric Boogaloo. Everyone will hit max deeps out of rage.

Oh please you guys make it sound like all of the Side Quests in the game are trash.
-Hildebrand Quests line is entertaining in my opinion.
-Moogle Mail Quest Line gives depth to NPCs and even gives a back story to some of those particular NPCs you fight during FATEs.
-Other NPC Quest Lines give you a sense or idea on their lives and point of views making the world feel more alive.
That is if any of you bother to READ the dialogue instead of mashing away at the button to skip the text as fast as possible.

I never did this until I did the side quests in churning mists. I just couldn't handle the inane bullshit anymore. I went back to reading the side quests once I moved out of that zone.
I don't mind the sidequests. A lot of them in HW are well written and gave some feels.
Fuck the Moogles, though. Fuck them. I am not their personal amber alert.

I don't blame you.....those Side Quests truly tested my patience and I was near the boiling point of simply rage quitting for the day but alas I was able to hold on.
I unlocked flying ASAP, put on some music, and just banged them all out as quick as possible.
This asshole got me though and he did this multiple times throughout that quest line. Wanted to beat him with my staff.

So, is there a good beginners guide somewhere before I finally boot this thing up? Haha, I'm a little intimidated because I've never ever played an MMO before. I bought this mostly due to my love for FF and because I hear good things from other XII fans.

Thanks!,Now go back and find my Little Moogles because I couldn't be asked to do it myself.
Take it slow and enjoy yourself. Read tooltips, do the sidequests and go at your own pace.
Do you want a couple HQ Steel Ingots?

They should really add an elevation indicator.
Is that bad? That their usefulness is the battery function. DPS isn't the only important role.
I mean, do you feel the same way about healers, do you think "if we didn't need them to heal then we'd bring something useful instead"? I know that sounds ridiculous but that is the point, why is being able to sustain the entire party looked down upon as an inferior role in the group.

There's a difference though because it's not done in a way that makes it interesting, and most of the focus of the class is actually on doing DPS. See healers have a lot of heals, most of their focus is on healing(they have a few damage spells too, but they're very boring and the DPS rotation of a healer is generally do all dots > spam nuke, no proc, no cooldowns, no combos, it's a minor aspect).
On the other hand, BRD/MCH is basically entirely about the DPS aspect, with a couple of buttons you can press once when you need to refill bars for people, and then it happens over a period of time. If the bard combos had buffs/debuffs linked to them, if they literally had songs combos or whatever and if they were a full blown support with a few damage skills thrown in, people wouldn't really compare them to DPS, but it isn't really the case. They're DPS classes that happen to have vital support abilities slapped on them. But because these abilities are so strong, the entire class is nerfed down to balance it out.

It's easier to complain about something without providing a suggestion or solution.
So let me ask you what would YOU do for Side Quests if you were in charge? Keep in my that for an MMO this big you would need to provide well over 300 Different Side Quests AND in accordance to your complain NONE of those are allowed to be mechanically the same Quests.
Because I thought about it and such notion is almost silly to think about because of the limitation within this MMO it's almost impossible to come up with 25 different Quests which are not "mechanically identical quests"

Can I still redeem one of the "early access" codes and receive the Baron circlet & earrings?

If your talking about codes you input on Mog Station for Bonus items of any kind they are "supposed" to have a shelf life of 1 year after release but I read that people who have ordered ARR OST from the Square-Enix Website have received codes with the OST and are still redeemable even if those codes should have all expired since last December.
So yeah I think your still good on that.

Awesome. Yeah, just want the circlet & earrings to make Paladin look awesome.
I'm not sure what I love about XIV more; the story based campaign or paper-dolling my character.
It's more the amount they give up for the battery effect feels a bit imbalanced. I don't think their regen effects are really strong enough to warrant this whole ~20% worse than the other DPS and THEN lose 15% more to even activate it.
i actually have some on my retainer, I just couldn't care enough to finish those quests
Well tbf they summoned the one true king and you assassins destroyed him. The feelings you feel are the result of peasants meeting majesty.

So... Paladins. I'm just starting to understand the cross class skill system and I get that I need both a 30 GLD and a 15 CNJ to become a PLD. But it seems that I can also pull skills from the Marauder class?
Should I level that class up as well? Or just focus on become a PLD first? Right now I'm 21 GLD & 15 CNJ. I suppose I could used all the 1~10 side quests in Lima to level MRD.
Anyone have any tips to share?

Can anyone explain the point of Emergency Tactics?
Why would I want to turn the shield portion of Adlo or Succor into Hp when the barrier functions for the same purpose?

Awesome, I wasn't looking forward to leveling another job so early in the game.
But it looks like I should switch back to CNJ as Stone Skin at 34 seems much better than Protect.
