Final Fantasy XIV |OT| ARR: Alpha Closed. Beta mid-Feb
- Thread starter demosthenes

End of September so I'll say mid October because these guys never hit their dates. Materia and all sounds awesome but there still isn't enough content you can have flashy stuff like Materia and all but there isn't anything to do still. I hope the public dungeons allow people to go in without a party because right now the ones we have are a super big chore getting enough people to run it. Let alone those who blew through it first week and now no longer want to do it and the servers aren't exactly full of people.
These guys are stuck they still have such a long way before this game is finished and right about now the game needs a major expansion with new areas and a level raise but it's nowhere near that yet.They also need to work on their events this summer one is lame as hell I want events that I gotta work for and take time.They need to take a note from Phantasy Star Universe now those are events.
Dunno jumped on for like an hour or so this morning and I am so bored and don't know what to do.Even with multiple classes there is only so many of the same thing you can grind.1.19 is gonna be like the rest it's gonna come out and everyone will camp and blow through it then what another multiple month wait.

There used to be some in-depth seasonal events in FFXI.
They introduced Azimuth Circle for the inaugural Summerbreeze, which was an awesome special event, but so many people complained about its complexity that they killed it a couple years later, and eventually replaced it with Mumor.

I didn't last long after coming back. I find I hate the game even more now. I might pop back on to say hi though.
I'd actually like to party up with people from the LS once again. Almost every time I try, the groups of people are below my rank (rank 38 pug)

There seems to be alot of repeatable on going battle content in 1.19 going by whats listed. As for finding/making parties, there still seem to be alot of people shouting for toto-rak parties...havent seen that many for darkhold, unless its just the time of day i'm online. Agree about the events though (unless meteor ends up getting even closer...still not sure whats up with the "moon").
Also the problem with people blowing through content will never be fixed until the servers become more populated/people dial back the "day one" completion drive. They dont really need another expansion though, just add more substantial content on top of the areas/add more land marks and things to do on the areas already there.
These are the most interesting entries to me:
Quests for full induction into the Grand Companies, including speeches by the three heads of state.
Ifrit battle (level 30) New primal content is planned for patch 1.20.
Ifrit battle (level 50)
Two different fights?
Implementation of caravan escort system (level 20)
Those chocobo carts that are near certain areas I guess.
Implementation of Amalj'aa stronghold raids -
Implementation of Ixali stronghold raids -
Implementation of kobold stronghold raids -
Low level dungeon
Implementation of a public dungeon for low levels -
Addition of treasure chests to field areas
Implementation of rental chocobos in the three city-states Players will be able to rent chocobos (payable in gil) for a set duration.
Implementation of Grand Company-issue personal chocobos Finally, a chocobo to call your very own. Sorry for the wait.
Implementation of airships linking the three city-states
Diversification of enemy types in existing species (for strongholds)
Redistribution of enemies in six areas 1.19 will focus on lower level enemies in six areas.
Design and release of notorious monsters
Addition of new NMs for low level dungeons Adventurers may come face to face with a certain feline monster that starts with C and ends with OUERL.
Everything from the battle system section sounds great.
Same with the UI section.

Bummed about the loss of physical levels. I liked that everything one did would help build the character in a core way. Someone could spend five weeks chopping trees and sawing wood, and have some strength to show for it when they decided to pick up a sword.
It was also a key thing that made it feel different than XI.

The biggest problem with the dungeons was there was no decent party finding features, huge mistake imo.
I can't be arsed to wait for other people or log on at 4 in the morning to go for runs, SE need to really get their shit together and make this game something you can just jump on and do stuff instead of standing around for hours trying to piece together a party. (it's FF11 all over again)
Just read the letter and disappointed they didn't include implementation of better search features and LFP system.

He had that tag before FFXIV even launched...
o-o
Got it making fun of someone trying to charm one of the female mods. He had a tag "absolutely pathetic" and so I said she wouldn't go for him with a tag like that. He then made fun of my username which was Emenis at the time and said it sounded like Eeny Meenie Penis and a mod thought it would be funny to slap that tag on me. It was my birthday too but I didn't say anything.
And that is how I got my tag. Tune in next week when I explain how babby is formed.

Things seem to be moving in the right direction for this game (CHOCOBOS!!) but its still too early for me to invest. I still feel a little sad for the lone, gigantic FFXIV CE Box left at my local Best Buy, though. It sits on the bottom shelf of the endcap of their software aisle all by itself at the back of the store, right next to shovelware sudoku and puzzle games. Its edges are frayed and its box battered by the many hands that must have handled it since it was first stocked. The blinking red light on the security button affixed to its front flashes weakly as if to mock it--"Lol, like anyone would want to steal you," it seems to say. Perhaps one day I will pick it up. Perhaps one day.
Ah who am I kidding, I'm going to wait for the PS3 relaunch.

The suits look good on the girls, but on my Lala ... *shudder*
I'm looking forward to the abolition of physical levels, since it'll mean you can't redistribute points anymore. The waiting period in redistributing points made switching jobs a pain since I'd like to level both LNC and CON, but their stats are very unalike. I wish they would address the market, though, since some of the fun of levelling is anticipating new equipment, and the wards are really limiting that.

My copy just arrived and apparently these come with the Garlond Goggles. But... since I used mileS buddy code and I had to make a North American SE account, I'm guessing I won't be able to use the Garlond Goggles code? (since they came from a EU game)
So I was online for a few minutes last night and punched a couple of dodos just to see what changed. I guess without the stamina bar and with the auto-attack they've basically gone with WoW-style combat now where everything is based on cooldowns except the cooldowns are kinda long (no more heavy strike and 30 seconds for light strike?) so it seems like a lot of waiting. I'm not criticizing the game here, like I said I was only online for a few minutes. I was just hoping someone could tell me what I'm missing. Do you guys like the combat now?
Here's something I forgot to check for. Some abilities can only be used after certain conditions are met (like dodging an attack). Is there any chance that the icons indicate that it is OK to use the ability or do you still have to watch for the dodge text to come up and hit the button?
Seriously, that music. Good lord.
Edit: Wow, so much good reading to catch up on over at the Lodestone. So guildleves are solo content now? How viable is soloing? Earlier in the year it was possible but it seemed to take forever to level up even in the high teens. Is that still the case or do solo guildleves make things much better? Are raids cool? They sound cool.
Edit again: Have they said anything else about the area outside of Gridania and how annoying it is? I remember promises that they'd fix it but I guess that's more of a long term plan?

The festival music is seriously starting to grate on my nerves. I wish they would limit it to the general area of the festival NPC.

I was walking into the black shroud the other day and the festival music stopped and was replaced by a new song. I thought it was brilliant. I haven't wandered into the other areas, but it would be awesome if each area now has two different types of field music.

VERY viable
it's really unbelievably solo friendly now
esp compared to before
even in the high 40s
you can get 30-50k of sp for doing 8 r40 leves
it takes 100k(110k?) to hit rank 50
reposting this pix from earlier
this was from1 single leve
By throw attacks I assume you mean pressing light punch and light kick at the same time.
At rank 16 or 17 should I be taking the rank 20 leves or rank 10 leves? Do you still get to pick a difficulty when you actually start the leve or has that changed too? Kinda psyched about playing this again.
