What the shit

Ruby Carbuncle is dying to AoEs on the ground. I swear this didn't happen with Garuda. Kinda frustrating when you're trying to push past soars in Zurvan ex and you're left trying to re-summon when you fall down

I'm not crazy, right? I thought it was just a skin?

I think the issue is that it's much better at following you around than Garuda is. On the one hand it's nice that I don't have to worry as much about it getting locked out of boss areas, but on the other hand it runs with you when you jump into a pack to start spamming Blizzard 2 and then just stays there.

It's worth it to not have to look at that scrawny chicken thing though.

(Will post updated pic momentarily, the gpose thing is pretty cool)

EU store, as I have just pre-ordered from there as well.

Should be on the NA store later today.

This new gpose thing is pretty cool indeed. It's going to come in handy for scenery pictures as well!

This is probably my favorite toon so far, really like the simplistic design. Gives me skyrim vibes.

Thanks! I love the hunter sets from Sohm Al, I think I have all of them stored on my retainers.

I just finished the MSQ before Heavensward

I just finished the MSQ before Heavensward

the sand potatoes are bad and so you have to go to the wall to hang out with jon snow and help fight dragons

 

[Xion_Stellar]

Yes that last Quest was loaded and the 3 month wait leading up to Heavensward was jarring because I wanted to know what happened next.

Will I have to pay right away, or will they withdraw on shipping day?

I finished that last quest the night before Heavensward was made available for early access. Can't imagine what the wait was like

I guess I'll know soon though.

they charge 10 days before shipping and send you a reminder a few days before that to let you know the payment is coming up.

This is Revenge for all the time we have to wait for every other queue while you guys get them instantly >

 

[brinstar]

so how hard is Dun Scaith. Because I did Mhach for the first time the other day and that place put me through the ringer. Way harder than Void Ark.

These are endgame areas aren't they. They look great. I'm level 48, and can't wait to access to end-game dungeons.

Stormblood on PS Store pre-ordered!

I ran it yesterday and it was my second run after a clear on the first day. People were definitely dying more often than in the previous alliance dungeons (now, not right after release) and I was worried we might wipe quite a few times, but we didn't.

Still better than Mhach week two.

[ferr]

What the? I removed FF14 from my PS4 for a while to clear some space a couple months ago, but now I'm trying to add it back.. when I try to download it through my "Library" it says it can't download. When trying to get it through the store, it says "Cannot download at this time" with the message "You are not able to purchase this product for the following reason(s): You already own: FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn Standard Edition Pack"

Anyone seen this before? google is little help..

Quick question - which headgear is that? And is it female only?

Is the second a screenshot from a Stormblood area?

 

[Unknown Soldier]

They shouldn't piss tanks off enough to make them quit tanking and switch to DPS. That's a zero sum game for literally everyone.

 

[Moaradin]

Getting no healer in The Feast is complete bullshit. Why would they allow that to happen to begin with when it's practically unwinnable?

 

[Squishy3]

yeah. you can see the tower in it from right before the final boss in baelsar's wall

 

[Demoskinos]

whats that pre-order avatar on PSN look like?

 

[aidan]

Since everyone's doing it, here's my character:

First time playing, just about to hit level 25 as an Archer. I've really appreciated the GAF community, even though I listen more than I talk.

 

[KuroNeeko]

Still grinding through MSQs but having a hard time settling down on a character.

I have a 28 ACN because I like healing and doing damage, but content is too easy with me and my pet.

I also have a 26 ROG because I like the atmosphere of the character. Melee DPS seems to frantic in raids and the gameplay seems too simple so far. Basically Spinning Edge, Gust Slash, then Aelioan Edge. I'm hoping Mudras shake things up a bit.

Would be nice if RDM could fill the void between the two or if we could dancer...

Mudras definitely shake things up.

 

[the_id]

Finally preordered my stormblood collectors edition.

 

[Gamer @ Heart]

Today was a damn good raid night.

Got bow and aiming chest from 12 on top of 8th page for my axe. Then I convinced my group to relearn and help me do sephirot for bird. 30 minutes later and with 25% echo we clear and bird drops.

Fire bird get.

The group has a minute to change classes. Someone should have switched.

do not judge a class before you reach 50 in this game
level 32 dungeon brayflox is the 1st dungeon where it gets tough if nobody knows what they're doing, so be prepared for that
and remember to follow this guide for ARR progression

Yeah, my friends tell me that as well. Still, that's a pretty significant time investment just to see if you'll like a class. 30 in one main class and then 15 in another, then the last 20 levels to hit 50. : /

I played a Rogue in FFXI and like SCH so far (hit 38 on an old account). I like how ROG = Ninja is "sort of" like Rogue from FFXI, and just like playing sneaky thief classes (as well as healers).

Will play ROG to NIN to see how I like Mudras and then decide which one to spend more time on. DPS queues are no joke in this game.

 

[Lanrutcon]

Yup, some of those are endgame raids. They pull out all the visual stops in those. The newest one is damn pretty.

Palace of the Dead is pretty great for that. As long as you have a class at level 30 and unlocked their job, you can pretty much preview all their skills at level 60 in PotD.

 

[Hasemo]

Palace of the Dead is pretty great for that. As long as you have a class at level 30 and unlocked their job, you can pretty much preview all their skills at level 60 in PotD.

To give a bit more information about this.
You have to unlock PotD, clear the first 50 floors with any class and (I think) have your aetherpool weapon/armor on at last +18 to be able to start from floor 51 at any time.

When starting at floor 51, the class/job which you entered with will be level 60 and will have all skills unlocked.

Like Moaradin mentioned, if you want to check the skills of a job, you'll need to get an equip the job crystal first.

Also, remember that clearing the Hall of the Novice will reward you with an accessory increasing exp gained until level 30.

 

[yami4ct]

I would post my character, but she's gonna look like absolute crap until I hit 50 and get my last piece of Dragoon armor. 46 now. Let's see how quickly I can get this last set of levels done.

Having gone back to WoW for Legion for a bit, XIV DPS queues are nowhere near as bad as they are in WoW. WoW DPS queues have you waiting for an hour+, outside of dead content in XIV which aren't populated by the various roulettes, queue times aren't very bad. I don't think I've ever waited more than half an hour for something, and there's plenty of stuff to do in-game or out of game while you wait.

That's true. I usually played a Restro Druid in instances so didn't have to wait long, but when playing Balance Druid or Aff Lock, the waiting times were reeeeaaaallly long.

I'm not complaining about a lack of stuff to do...there's actually too much stuff to do lol. Just, there are times when I enter queue, but then wait so long I have to log off without doing any runs (which, more times than not, end up being Satasha).
