Revamping Food and Medicine
http://sqex.to/RBQ
http://sqex.to/RBQ
At what point is it possible to travel from Gridania to the other cities? I like the area and the story seems interest (only a level 7 Lancer) but no one is around. A blog comment on Lodestone said that many people use Udah (sure that's not spelled correctly) as the main hub on Cornelia now. I guess I could always restart the character but like I said I like the story at the moment.
You can walk there pretty much at any level (stay on the road south), if you had started on Lindblum I would have jumped on and teleported you.
Yeah, just head South along the road, and you'll get to Thanalan, the region with Ul'dah.
If you head there now, you should be able to kill the low-level marmots that litter the path there and level up along the way, too.
From Ul'dah, follow the road West until you reach the Ferry, and take the Ferry to Limsa-Lominsa.
Basically they are making food almost exactly like FFXI's system with a couple tweaks and then medicine becomes similar to just about every MMO under the sun, can't complain about that. Should make alchemy a lot nicer when more medical applications become necessary/more useful in the field (Potions and Ethers being the most obvious). The food getting EXP buffs is a nice touch and will make them almost a requirement when out leveling. FFXI's food 'buff' system is one my favorites in all MMO's because of its unique percentage/cap mix. It allows lower level food to be more useful on lower levels, and higher lvl food to more useful for higher levels, but it doesn't make one food the best across all levels. Same can obviously be said for medicine too now, might take a bit to figure out what is the best medicine and food for each level range and obviously for the purpose you want from it. (Tank food, mage food, gathering food, crafting food etc.)

Anybody checking out Tera this first closed beta weekend?
Can't do another MMO till I uninstall some other ones on my computer or get a new computer lol. Down to 40 Gigs on my main desktop even after getting rid of most of media ._.;. Got WoW, SWTOR, FFXI, FFXIV and several Steam PC games on it right now and its an older HDD. So although Tera interests me, I am not paying to get into closed beta when I can't even install it without losing something else I am still playing (Plus who has the time these days? Not me that's who!)
Yeah, I think that's what it is.
In other words, don't spend it like crazy. A lot of people make that mistake early on.
Between rental Chocobos and Airships, there are good gil-based alternatives to anima now, and I highly recommend using them. A rental Chocobo will cover all your travel needs for leves until you can get a personal one, pretty much.
Playing it safe with Dalamud being that big in the sky (would have been kind of funny after showing 3 battle shots, and then the end result being death by peiste
).EDIT: Yeah Effect, i'd just rent a chocobo and run it. I forget the rental level...but it cant be that high.
Was happy to see that, he probably saw option 4 as the easiest technically to spread people out and more or less restart communities on the new servers, but he failed to see just how much people cared about potentially being separated from friends for no other reason then because they failed to produce a central place for all their community to go to if they so desired. The people who want to start with a whole new community can do it if they want, and the people would rather stay with what they got can do so as well. That is why option 2 is the best one. The less inconvenience you give to already established communities the better.
Of course, combat is nice, wish FFXIV went with reticle targeting.
Nice they are considering option 2.
Rukkirii just confirmed they will be releasing a video showing the two new raids at some point.
So about the "Intra-city travel: Implementation of system allowing for warping within each city-state". We've already got normal teleporting as well as airships...so has Yoshi or any other dev stated what makes this so different? Free warps or something, because either way...people are probably still going to hang in Ul'dah more than anywhere else if that was their goal.
That is unless guildleves from different city regions will have some sort of unique benefit again (after guildmark usefulness was set aside for the time being).

It's warping within a city, ie from the dunes to the alchemy distrtict.
Oh of course, intra-city travel. Probably shouldnt skim letters late at night lol.

I see that the worst looking armor ever in XI made a comeback in FF XIV.
I avoided it like pest in XI but I didn't have any other option in XIV.
"YAY!!"

So..
Thinking of making Red Dot II (or whatever damn name) tonight and moving the active players over to that. I know a few were in favor of that last night but I'd still like some more input. That way we can still see if any of the older players decide to come back before merger and we can get some breathing room for invites as well.
Should have probably done this before it went pay to play..
@Cmagus: I'll be there

Arent the shells going to be broken either way?
Btw, monster bingo:
Lets see which one of these hits as a boss or job NM for the next patch.
EDIT: Forgot a ? by that Wyvern and a check by the Treant.

shouldn't we wait till after the merger?
Work, Soul Calibur, stuff. D: Like I said, I'm sad I didn't get to play CB as much as I'd like. These CB times are murder on me. Need to be like PSO2A japan times
Good point, although merger 2 may not break shells.

The next CB for Tera is the following weekend. You guys have to 2 weeks to figure it out. Especially Dega, I think I saw him for like 5 minutes on Saturday and then he logged off and I never saw him again.

Nice.
Don't like !!
Looks ok although a bit on the boring side.
What I would like them to do is have lots of small animated moves like this that you can combo together to make one continious awesome animation.

I don't really care that much either way, but yes, a cooler name would be preferable.
Are they? No one mentioned that. :/
I already started too. I think I'll just keep at it and remake it again later. Not having to scroll through 100 inactives is much nicer. Lol
@Riposte, Ziz: I actually just named it Red Dot II. Lol Since the guildworks site is red dot and Renta made it all pretty I didnt name it something else. If you guys want to come up with a new name we can do that though.
@kiryogi:
I need General Renta back though. @kawaiinya: I played a few hours friday night but yeah not much on sat and sunday. Sorry

The original merger plan had all shells breaking because everyone was technically heading to new worlds. That might change thanks to them going with something closer to option 2, but it still might happen anyways if they use new worlds, but just have certain servers get merged into those new worlds, the shells would break all the same.
