Im not sure why you would want to search offline players, but hmm ok ..

Yup I agree that the lack of text input for search is disappointing and something I'm a little surprised that wasn't added, perhaps they plan to add this later down the road, can only hope. (FWIW text search hasn't been added to the marketward search either, which they said they wanted to add, so maybe they have been having problems with that)

Expect to see something about servers not allowing them and to expect it in 2.0 soon lol.

BTW you can /sea all, just by leaving the options blank or at least from what i can tell.

As for friends, use your friendslist lol, they plan to update linkshell information and I imagine that friendslist info will be the same, you can already see if someone is online or not, would be nice to see what area they are in also.

Well to more specific, a friend of a friend. In FFXI when someone wanted me to invite someone or give them a tell, I usually did a /sea all " " just to quickly find out where they were, and then if necessary, just do a quick tell prompt afterwords. You can still do that with this system, but you need a bit more information ahead of time to do it. Still current search is a great start, but I do miss having simple manual search options instead of pre-defined ones like region and level. For instance I might only know a name, but I don't know the region, the level they currently are, nor the class they are for that matter. Its just an omission that stands out, but considering its taken this long to just implement 'this' into the game, I guess I can accept the quality for now. I don't need to know offline/online status :p although I can't say that is a bad feature.

Got the game yesterday for £6. Enjoying it so far and it's one of the nicest looking games I've ever played. It feels great too using a PS3 controller.

I'd love to join the GAF LS (I'm on Lindblum). My name is Kida Amnesiac. Do I have to do anything in game?

I've been trying to send you a /tell whenever I'm online but I always miss you.

For the time being, feel free to apply to the LS website here:

I thought the 14th was mentioned in one of the latest lodestone updates, my bad I guess.

Yoshi P made a forum post that said the 14th Japan time is the estimated date that they are aiming for, but it is not set in stone yet. Them missing the deadline on the moogle battle preview video is not a good sign either.

The music is fantastic :D

edit:
1.20 music samples here,

Woah, this "new" composer is very good!

Masayoshi Soken (if thats his name) is quickly becoming one of my favorites.

...Moogles are kinda creepy looking when you think about it.

I'm glad he is on vagon for the future ff14 extra tracks.. he seems to have some sort of both Nobuo and Sakimoto vibes. I like much his style.

I really want to know where some of this new music plays; that first song is really, really good. Sounds like some kind of company march or something.

Hmmm, these soundtracks make me think of Last Remnant... I'm very surprised this isn't Tsuyoshi Sekito's work. I feel dumb for thinking so.

Well my video card crapped out on me. I'm running this thing off the onboard one right now looking into obviously getting a new one but it won't be for abit and I can't even get on the game crashes constantly.You can strike me off that list for the moogle thing plus I don't think I am going to be returning at all I think it's time to move on.

So glad I decided not to worry about capping off Shield.

Since they didnt announce a delay on the Dec 14 tentative date I wonder how likely it is we will see it drop this week?

I say its a pretty good bet its happening this week with them releasing the patch notes already, the question is if its still happening on the 14th/13th (Japan time and all). FYI FFXI's December patch also comes out on the 14th, I wonder if that might cause any potential issues in regards to FFXIV's patch timing. Probably not but it is none the less strange to imagine both games having a 'content' update the same day.

None the less its a very busy week, SWTOR launch, FFXI and FFXIV patches and in my case a very busy IRL weekend. Why couldn't some of this stuff have come out last weekend when I had like nothing to do ><.

Patch notes look good so far, "Disciples of the Hand & Land are not awarded attribute points." lol Yoshi-P is just throwing gasoline on the fire at this point.

I will say though that they have made the stat points far to complicated yet again.

For example MRD has to put points both in VIT and STR for damage, I suppose they would put points in VIT anyway but its still a bit odd.

It would have made more sense just to have the damage based on STR.

Damaged for THM weapons should have also been based on INT.

It's also too bad that the lvl 50 Company gear/weapons could have been quite good if its wasn't for materia, I really do dislike the materia system.

continues to read ...

Gathering points are now marked on the minimap.
WTF !! YAY

&#8226;[dev1206] The effects of Protect and Shell have been made mutually exclusive, and one now overwrites the other.

Although there is no Shell anymore .. ?

Can we still have auto attribute distribution though? Also hell yeah on new moves and more solid roles for everyone.

EDIT: We need a librascope or libra spell now.

Pugilist having INT and STR is dumb. It should have been PIE instead of Lancer having PIE, because Pugilists actually need MP.

I think Protect and Shell are just the same thing now, Protect does both effects.

Was thinking about starting a new character on Lindblum when this hits so I can play it fresh. Then I could hang out with you guys too.

Okay. Log in Game.

Whatever, log out of of Lodestone.

Guess I'll look it up on the internet

A new thread has been started in the Updates section of the official forums. The title of the thread is as follows:

[patch1.20] Patch 1.20 Notes

Proceed to the thread.

x5 websites


I hope the world ends
 
Boss Riposte is quite the hilarious storyteller.

And I have no idea why that stupid restriction is in place on the forum where patch notes are now hosted. Oh wait, I do have an idea: Squenix. :3

Hee hee, the requirement to take on the Moogle quest is to kill Ifrit first.
 
I started having 20003 errors in the last couple of days. In peak times I cannot stay logged for more than a minute, then I d/c.... So frustrating.

Already tried the tips posted by Renta, but didn't get any better; was just wandering if there is a way to test my end of the connection to see if it is fit for playing the game.

Of course no response on the official forums....

Am worried because subscription time is coming soon and I cannot pay if the situation stays as it is now... would just waste my money =(

I had a friend who doesn't play FFXIV and naturally doesn't have an account go to the thread, download the page, and send it to me. lol


EDIT: As for my opinion on the patch it seems like another solid leap for the game. To be honest it is still bugs me that the game is becoming less unique/like the old game. However if they don't plan on designing the game around those mechanics, there is no reason to keep them around. (I wish someone out there would make that game, MMO or not.)

I don't know what to make of the class changes, but I'm eager to play with the combo system. Hopefully it adds the complexity the game needs in absence of AoE-centric combat.

Hee hee, Sentinel is not an exclusive skill to Gladiators.

Multishot has been entirely removed from Archers.

Conjurer and Thaumaturge have been changed as predicted: all offensive magic (except Aero) belongs to THM now, all healing/buffing magic belongs to CON. It looks like all debuffs are gone, only Sleep remains. I guess you can't stack buffs now like before, not that it mattered that much as buffs were so nerfed by the last patch before 1.20.

After one year and 4 months, AH is finally in.

The most important addition to this patch: /random now lets you roll dice!

Substantial patch notes.. i expected less indeed.



New music around maps?

I think Protect and Shell are just the same thing now, Protect does both effects.

You are right

It's says it cant be acquired by any class(shell), and the effect of shell in implied on Protect
