This is the first time I come back to the thread in like a week and a half and this is what I'm met with.
Ultimate way to tune game to make meeting all DPS checks for A3S and A4S viable for every player: Make every ability Fracture
Blue Fracture, Red Fracture, Jump Fracture, Book Fracture....
PS: new Y'shtola Wallpaper available as part of a sort of FFXIV/Dissidia Fankit thing.

I've always heard Fracture was a DPS loss, because I used to get bitched at on my MNK for using it so I chose Mercy Stroke instead. Or maybe it's just better for DRG?

Fracture is life.
(Don't actually put fracture on any class except Warrior and I guess Monks have some use of it to wait out the full demolish timer maybe?)

For DRG it's always a loss, for MNK it's tricky. It can be a gain as long as GL3/Twin Snakes/Dragon Kick/Demolish/ToD don't fall off and you can sustain TP.
You just jealous of mah swagger!
Point me to this swagger of yours.
Right here ol chap.
Are they adding this walk in 3.2?

We've reached Monty Python references, abort, abort.
It's actually the default Lalafell walk.
Real talk,
I actually appreciate Lala's for adding a bit of color to the game. Or at least I do right up until the emote spamming. <_</
not lalas' fault they got the best emotes in the game
thats the one you expect to come .
what you actually get:
This is only one stop removed from the old mario karting glitch that used to be in the game. XD
Edit: Qhon beat me to it I see. XD
I resubbed and decided to go with CNJ and eventually WHM. It's like my second time playing an MMO ever and my first time taking a healer role. So far I'm having more fun than I was having with my PUG/MNK. I feel pressured at times but I like how I'm always engaged and thinking ahead. Is there anything I should know about the role? Maybe what skills to inherit from other classes or which to use more often? I try to DPS as often as I can but I've noticed it sometimes leads to close calls. I'm also trying to get used to switching Cleric Stance on and off on the fly and under pressure.
WHM wants Swiftcast and Surecast from Thaumaturge and Eye for an Eye and Virus from Arcanist.
and wands aren't staffs. XD
Though I can see why, since Warriors being axe wielders is a pretty big part of the identity. I'm just mildly surprised that there's never been a low level hammer or whatnot for Warriors. I mean most classes seem to have a few odd weapons they can equip during the leveling process.
Wands, nail bats, stuff like that. Hmm, should dark knights get claymore sized nailbats?
Go PLD, spam flash, it'll work out.
if you ain't going to go into detail don't tease us
edit: and now most stuff is resolved and nothing exciting really happened

WTF, I just got kicked offline saying my sub ran out even though I have auto renew on. Everytime I try a credit card I'm getting error 601, does anyone know wtf to do? Their website support is useless.

Yeah, it's not until like level 30 that you have to pay any real attention to anything in those dungeons. Probably not even then if you're a DPS
They are introduced, sort of, in the story. It's mostly a case of the latter though, or I guess more specifically, they were around in Eorzea we just never dealt with them. They never address it if you are Au Ra yourself either, it's just retroactively you were one all along and no one cared.
Before the race was revealed, to the playerbase, it was a big tease about one character ending up being one (we knew they were the new race, just not what the new race was). Then it got revealed and, while they explained why the race was hidden in-story, it definitely leaves some holes. And later it turns out that pretty much everyone knew about the Au Ra, there were just not a lot of them in Eorzea.

As a newbie I found the level 24(?) one is the first one I had to pay attention(only the final boss) but it wasn't anything I wasn't prepared for having played other MMOs.
My plan is to hit 30 ARC, 15 Conjurer and then get Scholar to then go as my main class, keep in mind I'm completely new to this game but it seems like a decent plan to me.
Just hit 29 as my ARC last night.
Also, 15 Fisherman because queues.

It's a really strange decision, I think. I can understand why they'd want to hype it up, and God knows that they love to build hype and drag it out for as long as possible, but I don't think they really thought about the effect on the story/world after the big reveal by implementing their big tease in this way. I think the most jarring thing is
Yugiri hiding her identity because she was worried about how people would take it, despite her big obvious Au Ra tail, and Sigurdu's story about Au Ra being slaughtered by Ishgardians who mistook them for dragons, juxtaposed with the fact that retroactively, my character's been trotting merrily around as an Au Ra without so much as a passing comment this whole time, not even in Coerthas.
Am I right in understand that all the Yugiri teasing is still in there if you start the game anew now, even as an Au Ra?

I caved in and bought Sleipnir >.< I really like the music on him.
