they're removing physical level
but not the points distributions right?
i wonder how'll that work
does it mean ppl with lv50 but no r50 job will be nerfed :/
had the very first FFXI style pt earlier where i just stood back and cured/buffed
must say the game just didn't feel like it's designed for that, yet
the sp was pretty great though

What version of FRAPS are you using? They have been updating the client pretty frequently with a lot of optimizations for recording at higher resolutions. Depending on your system capabilities you might want to try setting your resolution to 720P and then record at that resolution instead of 1080. You could also try limiting the frame rate.
I haven't had any trouble recording at 1080 but I have never tried taking any footage in Uldah during peak hours either. >_<
Hola old amigos!
How do you like FF14 now with the new patch? Combat still sluggish and boring? Copy-pasta environments? Any chocobos? Endgame content? Still leveling class after class for no reason other than to fill lack of endgame?
Looking at videos it doesnt seem they added too much considering this game has been pretty much patchless since november.

Is alright
Combat still sluggish and boring?
Seems about the same really, there is more time to think and have a strategy though.
Copy-pasta environments?
Still here.
Any chocobos?
Yes plenty, but you can't ride em :S
Endgame content?
Seems ok for their first content, obviously we have primals being added in 1.20 though which I think will be the proper end game content.
Still leveling class after class for no reason other than to fill lack of endgame?
Pretty much, but show me an mmo where this isn't the case.

So i was a huuuuuuge fan of FFXI and was super excited about this game. Played the beta and i wanted to like it but i just couldnt...
The new content has me intrigued. Should i just got out and buy the game and give it another try or wait a little longer? Or are there still buddy passes floating around somewhere?
BTW have they said anything about skillchains? I know they have something called regiments but they were pretty lame, skillchains where my favorite part about FFXI.

My main class is Lancer and I chose Ul'Dah as my starting city. So is it impossible for me to do Lancers Guild missions since it is based out of Gridania which is the worst designed area in the entire game?
When I do find myself in that disgusting place and attempt to join or do quests for the Lancers Guild, they say they only allow Gridania citizens to join or something to that effect. Has Square really locked me out of that content or am I doing something wrong? I'm rank 18 atm, btw.

Best way to keep up to date. Also the dev tracker on the forum.

Yeah loot goes randomly to people. We then ask them to give it to the appropriate person. It's been confirmed that a proper loot system is in the works though. ^_^

Thanks for the responses! I wish they would just tell me when I'm too low level to do stuff. The NPCs made it sound an awful lot like I wouldn't be able to since I wasn't Gridania born. Oh well...excited to get started on that...just gotta level up 2 more times.
The game is in transit - a couple of quick question:
Is there a GAF server? How many people are active? Is it worth making a disciple of the land straight away? I made a fisherman last time and felt like I was missing out on a lot of things - is there any benefit one way or another? What's the best starting area? Or does it correspond to which class you make?
I'm going to try and not rush the game. I enjoyed the sedate pace of it compared to WoW or Guild Wars and I figure if I work my way through slowly I won't expose the lack of content that quickly.

GAF Linkshell is at Lidbulm server, most of the people pick Uldah as starting city which is the most crowded city right now. You can pick any class anytime so you dont miss anything. Just change your equipment and you can turn in to a blacksmith or a alchemist, so you can try all of them as much as you want.

OP is just talking about the lifelessness of the NPCs and how they're always in the same place at all hours of the day and they don't do anything or go anywhere.Munba said:
Dev response: Yoshida agrees it's lame, and we'll try to do something about it.
Riposte said:
a waste AND a stupid idea
bad enough with XI's stores when they closed after certain hours/days
what a nightmare it'd be to waste time running around looking for wandering NPCs
or have to memorize their hourly/daily/weekly schedule
or have to constantly check wiki to find who is where

Am I crazy or is THM totally overpowered? I'm waltzing through my battle leves with the greatest of ease just soloing.
A few months ago I thought this game was unsalvageable but patch 1.18 proves that there is still hope. Once Jobs and chocobos are in the game, I could see myself becoming addicted just like I was with FFXI. They should really do something to make Levequests more interesting, though. You spend way too much time staring at the same scenery/listening to the same music while leveling, I think.
The single most impressive thing about the past few patches to me is the improvement Squenix has made to the responsiveness of the UI. You no longer have to wait a few moments after clicking on something to get to the next screen.
I also really like all of the cool ways they are hinting about the Garlean invasion. The way the storyline is presented is better than most other MMOs.

I don't think it's a waste of time or stupid idea because the cities in tha actual state are DEAD. They seems a sort of 'scenography' that represents a city with some immobile npcs and only shops around. Cities NEED some life. Children playing in plazas, merchants walking, city guards roaming, sailors brings boxes on the piers and so on (exactly like in the intro cut-scene of Limsa). And i just don't think they'll put shop open/closed hours like in 11.
So as they should put some private houses (where the citizens live?!), with some quests inside too (uldah has a plethora of closed doors). Damn also FF11 had them..

I hate the idea of moving NPCs and shops opening/closing. It made FFXI more annoying that it had to be. That said, I think the playable characters are suppose to make the towns feel "alive." And clearly the NPCs live on the streets, as there are no homes in the game from what I can tell.

I am surprised they didn't figure out that 7/14-days trial can actually help in bringing new players in. Trials for MMO should me mandatory.
Is this game still F2P? Any word on when this can end? I can get this for approx. 7 EUR, tempted.

So I hopped on for the first time a few hours ago. Played through the opening scene for Limsa Lominsa, followed the story out into the field, attacked a Dodo without looking at its level and got 2-shotted. Awesome (and I'm not being sarcastic - that was great). Played a few hours more just running around exploring the town trying to decide what craft and gathering abilities to take up. The game is on the line between overwhelming and awe-inspiring in its variety.
