Sold all my stuff and gave all my gil away to one very happy new player, no turning back now I guess.
I deleted my old character and now I'm at the last stage of character creation and it won't let me choose my name, but I checked out the lodestone and it said the character name wasn't in use on Lindblum. Any ideas why this might be?

Why can't you use your beta name? Isn't there a way to do that? My name was the same in beta.Conceited said:
Did you open up a new service account?

I deleted my character on Wutai which was the one carried over from the beta using the name I wanted, and now that I deleted that character I can't use that name anymore for some reason.
The SE support dude did a pretty bad job of explaining it, but I think I'm out of luck. It's alright though, I thought of a new name.

Why didn't you just make a new character? Since the game is still free, there's no charge for making as many alts as you want.

Haha, forgot that I could do that, but it doesn't matter, some lowbie got a ton of gil out of it. I didn't really like my race or server choice anyways.
There is character restoration apparently if I ever did want to go back.
making progress on the db site- http://www.ffxiv-db.com/
7023 items added, you can search them but the data isnt parsed
Will work on decoding the information as well as making a nice interface tomorrow.
Not bad for 1 day old.

The fighting is much more fun for me, but I'm an archer and Auto-Attack really doesn't apply to archers. If you're a melee class be prepared to stand there and watch yourself hit a mob.

Late night update from Matsui:
Hello.
I would like to talk a little bit about battle balance.
In our most recent patch, we made some adjustments so that the improvements of leveling up or upgrading gear are more noticeable. (As a result, defeating an opponent with a much higher level or defeating an opponent who usually requires 8 players with only 2 players will be much more difficult to pull off. Despite these changes, please understand that it is not our intention to do away with the impact of player skills.) Overall, we believe that we have been able to achieve what we desired for battles, but more detailed individual adjustments may become necessary as play continues.
As mentioned in another post, players may feel that they are stronger or weaker based on how they have distributed their physical bonuses, and it will require some trial and error to get a good feel for the materia system and other new gear. I feel that it will take a few days to become accustomed to the changes.
In patch 1.19, monster stats have been altered, physical level and physical bonuses have been removed, damage calculations have been changed, and gear stats have been reviewed, so there will be situations where past knowledge and experience will not apply anymore. Furthermore, the patch has just been released, so I understand that players may feel uncomfortable with the changes. With that said, I would greatly appreciate it if you submit your opinions and feedback after you get a better feel for the changes by testing things out for a few days. (I am not saying that your feedback now is pointless! Rather, I would like to compare the reactions immediately after the patch with the feedback after some time has passed.)
Also I cant decide if EXP is crazy high or just right. Still now sure about the power level possibility situation either... Its useful, but really boring, so I doubt everyones going to flock to it.
I can see Yoshi wanting other higher levels to help lower levels without restrictions and being rewarded, but the exp rate is a little too high for that. Just dont want people not understanding certain abilities/ how to play a certain class by the time they hit 50, since everyone is having to relearn things at this point / skip over certain areas/items.

Getting kind of tired of running around rather long distances back and forth between the desert and the city to do quests. I know there's a teleport system, but is there some faster mode of free transportation that I'm missing? I'm only at level 3, but it feels like 50% of my time spent in game is running.

You're only level 3, run around, explore.
When you reach level 25, join a grand company and start doing company leve quests/escorts, and various company quests and save up for 3000 company seals and purchase your own personal chocobo.
In the mean time, you can rent a chocobo for 10 mins from cities (its slower than the personal but faster than walking). However, it costs 800 gil, which i suspect would be a lot for someone at your level.
If you want to travel between cities, there is an airship available now. Airship travel is instant but the cost varies with the max level you have achieved with any class. It starts out quite low (2 or 3 hundred gil or something) and by the time you reach level 50, it will cost 5000 gil.

I finished parsing and decoding items in the database and i found some interesting things...
- Was I decoding food wrong? Are these effects correct?
- There are rare items that change the item color! Im a little behind so this might be old.
- not sure about this but are there no items with elemental resistances?!?! how does one beat ifrit???
- i was unable to find the item to materia breakdown link; i assume its stored serverside. blast!
- "Dated" jewelery are the only ones with AP bonus... whatever that is. There are 2 items not dated with AP bonus: Moonlet and Patriot's Choker and they both only give +1 AP.
- drinking a Potion increases block to 200 for a brief second.... that cant be right
The item data now contains more info than ffxivpro and both more info and more accuracy than yg.
Im done for the day - tmrw is recipes.
this is the site: www.ffxiv-db.com - feedback/suggestions appreciated

Wow, nice job!
As for elemental resistances there are some earrings that list elemental resistance in their descriptions I think. I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't work at all though =P

Nah those are what can be added.
2H CON weapon =DD, 1H = Healing. (Im guessing when they add jobs the will lock then out to specific jobs) same for THM.
I guess PGL gets elemental + for when they use their weapon skills.
It does seem that + element is a better way to go than + magic, you could have seperate staffs for seperate elements.
Jinko said:lol51 is there anyway you could incorporate a filter to look for gear with specific stats, filter out classes that can't wear certain armour etc.
Great database so far
Yeah i will need to do a complex search feature. I ran into a road block regarding item equipment and filtering class required. I'm going to pause work on this till tuesday. Clear my head a little - use anima and leve allocation. For now i just did a incomplete and temporary dropdown selection for tools/weapons with (ill stop this as i think the complex search is the way to go).

Lancer's purpose in a group other than their DPS (which is substantial), is TP control. Namely, making sure the group has as much access to special attacks as possible (Comrade in Arms for the group, and the Surges and Invigorate for the Lancer themselves), and the enemy doesn't get to do special attacks as little as possible (Twisting Vice drains TP completely, Moonrise lowers TP generation). They're there to make enemies autoattack instead of using that weaponskill that hits your group for a lot.
