Aw man, I wish I had been eligible for those. The Onion helm is worthless after rank 12.Shouta said:
In other news http://www.windowerxiv.com/ have been asked to cease and desist.
:lol Fuck SE and their SHITE.

So... the new windower, that barely does anything, gets a cease and desist while the old FFXI windower that is so very useful with tons of addons that help you play the game gets to stay up? I mean the FFXI windower does way more than window, even lets you see stats and stuff you aren't supposed to.

I don't know what the actual client for FF14 is like but the "windower" of FF11 allowed you to do things on the net etc as the original client did not allow you to play in windowed mode. They did add the functionality in much later but it still didn't make up for a lot of shortcomings that the native client had. The windower of FF11 made the game so much bearable with the arcahic user interface really if anything.
I think it's humorous that they're trying to nip the bud before it takes root. It was suspected most of the PC playerbase used the program so it would have been catastrophic (income wise) if they banned all the accounts that used the 3rd party program(as noted in the terms of service.)

probably a mistake on their end somehow and I wouldn't think much of it if you are trying to make something out of it. If you're annoyed by this then you might want to reconsider if you want to give them your money.
Yeah, that shit needs to be fixed fast. What's really darn annoying about it is how random it is, I've gone an hour or two sometimes without it happening and of course it happens once you're going up against a tougher mob when you really need all the firepower you can get :'(Shouta said:
Also my thanks to Teknoman for the Pearl

Yeah makes the game feel like Alpha again except this time the enemies get to attack you at normal speed.
Smooth launch my ass! Some of you are kidding yourselves.

Smooth compared to Vanguard and APB. :lolPai Pai Master said:
And it's actually not bad in some ways. No login queues, no massive lot of server crashes. Of course that could also be a bad sign in that Square overestimated demand. I bet the queues and crashes will come with the real launch on the 30th. Most people still don't have the game.

So i picked this up today before i went into work, JESUS can the box be any bigger? :lol I'm asusming that's the tumbler taking all the space
Hell i'm pretty certain it wont even run on my laptop (the beta just crashed when i tried to launch the upater, as did the benchmark) but i guess it's possible it could run on my (old) PC, fingers crossed ¬_¬

When can we expect the reviews to roll out?
Question. I pre ordered the standard edition and my buddy has a buddy pass for me to use so I can play early but is it possible to add your bonus item codes after you've already made your character? Or do you only receive those items (asuran armguard, goggles, etc) when making a new character after submitting the codes?

Codes first, then characters. The items only show up on characters you make after registering the codes.

Healing in parties has been broken since the beta. I complained significantly back then. Now I just level crafting until SE gets their heads out of their asses.
What I don't get is that targeting works fine when you don't have a healing spell selected. Which means SE made a conscious decision to change the targeting for healing. WTF... :lol
In other news... almost all of my crafts are now at or very close to rank 10. I haven't touched Armorer yet, but I will as soon as some items sell or I do some rank 10 leves (haven't had a chance to play enough to get them done).
By this time next week I expect to have all crafting jobs to rank 25 or higher.

Nope, same thing was in beta (that's where I did much of my experiments to try and fix the crashes). Today I'm gonna try replacing my RAM - I don't think it'll help, but there's not much else to try. At least if that doesn't work, I can use both old and new RAM for double memory.Unknown Soldier said:Did it work in beta? Did anything change since beta?Dreamwriter said:Bleh - the game still just keeps crashing on me, with d3d9.dll claiming to be the culprit. Newest Direct3D drivers, no dice. New graphics card, no dice. New install of Windows, no dice. Windowed-mode, full-screen, changing all the settings, nothing works. I sent an email support to Square a couple days ago - no response yet. I would try more stuff this weekend, but...I can't think of anything more to try, other than new motherboard (maybe new RAM, but I ran Windows 7's full tests on the RAM, said it was fine).
I've spent a lot of time and money on this game, I sure would like to play it

Any reason why I cant buy this on steam? FF11 is on there.

Square probably doesn't want to share profits of a brand new game with Valve. Once sales die down, then they'll probably do it.GhostRidah said:
Turn off ambient occlusions if you're having performance problems.
Also whenenver you install a new PC game, check the start menu options...at least thats what I do. Fallout 3 has the same type of start menu config program as XIV. Just go in there and mess around with the settings/turn to full screen.

So have people found class quests yet? What are the conditions for triggering them?
Also, I was able to trigger the second story bit (in Gridania) last night at Rank 9 / Level 10... maybe Level allows storyline progression, while Rank is needed for Class progression?
Also: WTF, I logged out in Limsa Lominsa last night, and when I logged back in I was in Ul'dah... My gear was the same as it was when I was in Ul'dah, too.

Anyone in Gridania area that can hook me up with a Pearl? It's lonely out here in Eorzea

Also, BTW, selling items to NPCs doesn't seem to be a complete waste of time in this game.
I was able to sell Firefly Elytons, which have no purpose as yet, for 189 each. Marmot Meat is like 100+, etc.
Given how difficult it currently is to sell things, it's actually not a terrible source of income.

I've got to find out what Faction Standing effects. I know you get credits by finishing a leve, which lets you get factionleves eventually (which lead to really diverse battles/leves against beastmen), but as things are now, Faction Standing seems to be like conquest in FFXI...just no one knows if it has any effect on leve rewards.
Still try retainers, people buy from the markets all the time. Everytime I leave items with my retainer, she has a decent amount of gil waiting for me when I come back.
But yeah, Marmot pelts npc for alot too. It seems like its as easy to get gil in this game as console FF games (excluding XIII).
EDIT: I remember someone saying something about rat fur/pelts for leatherworking...maybe I should bazaar marmot pelts and other things for leatherworkers?

My friends and I have a small link shell with about 20 members right now. We were doing battlements last night. Any gaffers are welcome.

You 100% get where I'm coming from word for word.
I also absolutely refuse to give up on this game for numerous reasons, but I can't help but vent when there is some hurdle there tampering with the fun that could be had from the game.
I'm going to sign that petition 100000X times over on FFXIVcore.com, and honestly everyone on Gaf should help. Does loadestone or whatever also have forums we could start one on ?

It's a legitimately awesome game with a few significant issues that, if you're not an 8 year old, you should realize will get ironed out.

Yep. That's why many people are waiting for that to happen. Square isn't exactly timely when it comes to fixes so there's no reason to rush into playing this before it gets fixed. The good content isn't going anywhere.HappyBivouac said:
I'm still back and forth on picking the game up on the 30th...even though I've put my preorder money down for it twice. :lol

:lol :lol :lol That vid is awesome!
And I know I'll buy it eventually, that's for sure. I liked XI a lot and I am really attracted to this game, even if there's no multi-class characters like XI.
The question is: will I get it in 5 days or in 6 months? Still not sure...

Well i mean technically you can make whatever class you want.
And yes people should NPC stuff as you can get a load of gil just selling simple items. In the past two days, I think i've gained more gil than I ever would have in XI this early on.
