Lol.
I kinda miss all the aggro and chasing from FFXI. I remember so many times that I would think I outran a mob so I would rest and 2 mins later, dead. I quickly learned that the mobs rarely stopped unless you zoned.Effect said:
One thing that I am seeing about XIV so far is that it still seems possible to train aggro mobs and then kill other players with them.
I was doing Mining leves in Black Shroud the other day right by some anglers. They were out of range and wouldnt see me but some taru shithead got aggro and ran right by me. 1 minute later, the anglers came trotting back and attacked me. I made it away safely but almost lost the leve because of the waiting I had to do for them to re-position and get back to where Id be safe again.

It shakes what it momma gave it very well and there's enough there to keep you playing. However, she drives you nucking futs because she's missing basic elements that others have plenty of. But...when she shakes, you just can't stop.
The potential is there, but with SE's track record, time is not on our side. Or theirs. Because there will quickly be other breast shaking MMOs out there that do not lack basic, fundamental things that should be required in the year 2010. Let alone 2005.
I don't get this

Oh Londa :lol

Oh, its quite simply really.....
Kintaro has sex with his videogames.
Kintaro said:
I dont get this. What more can they add to chocobos? FFXI had riding, digging, breeding, racing. Am I missing anything?
To expand on that youd need what....chocobo battles? chocobo flying? Chocobos carrying an entire carriage full of us?
Londa said:
It's not like they're imposing some kind of super heavy tax on stuff that doesn't fit in the category. It's the exact same tax currently in place for items that don't fit. I don't think I've read anyone complain about the current tax, which I believe is 5%.
Kintaro said:
The fuck? :lol Running my ass around to get to places once my anima runs out isn't very convenient, SE.
Salaadin said:
They said making chocobos rideable is easy, but maybe they haven't yet figured out how to let players dismount. This is, after all, the only MMO I've ever played that doesn't even let you sort or rearrange your inventory. Once they master both aspects of chocobos I'm sure you can expect to see them next year, along with mailboxes.
...this game has made me bitter.

I think SE is missing the point on the chocos. It would be a less instant transport with a different form of currency.
You know. I really don't think they're that dumb. I think they are just making up bullshit reasons when they should just be honest. They had to prioritize shit and chocs was out lower on the list. If it was a mistake own it! Don't feed me bs about it not being useful.

They're so good at feeding us BS though! Remember a few weeks back they stated they had "no plans" to implement a hardware mouse cursor? Not long after, someone discovers they can change one value and hey, hardware mouse cursor ready to go! Then it's magically a feature at launch.
Square won't own up to issues until they're super apparent to everyone it seems.

I don't care if Chocos are slow coming as long as we get to race and raise them again (RIP Black Hayate the Red Chocobo on my FFXI account. You earned me 30K a day and I will always love you)
If we just get to rent them to ride and they wont be in for ages then that's bull shit.

It can't be that hard. They have the models (assuming they dint need to make changes based on adding animation). They just need riding an being ridden (/snicker) animations and the proper purchase and riding interface elements. That's shit my 3 guys here could do. Hey SE, my team will implement chocos for you!!!
I must be crazy. I swore to myself I wouldn't buy this for the PC. I knew I shouldn't have started reading up on the damn game. Ugh. Keeps pulling me back in. After reading around more after getting home I get the feeling my system might be able to run this on the lower settings with some tweaking after reading about various setups as well as one big google spreadsheet breaking down systems and scores. Even then it might not look to bad either (which is the main concern really). If not then a new processor might be needed which is long over due anyway and that should last a while. So we'll see.
Should get the game tomorrow I think as I got the order in at Amazon while it was still listed for pre-order with release day delivery for 99 cents. Order already being packaged it seems so I can cancel. Guess this pushes my other gaming purchases back a few months due to the MMO purchase being moved so far up. It's been hard sticking to the budget.

I just spent like 5 minutes staring at that gif...
So anyways, I'd like to make a party of people tonight to do 5 star stuff at Beardrock (lvl 10). How about starting in an hour? (give some time for eastern peeps to get home from work)
Oh also if anyone wants to part with a buddy pass for some money PM me, I want to give one to my friend.

This is exactly it. Playing with Stars of Destiny is fun ( even if the game lacks some key-features ), and I want to be the veteran who can say - some years down the line - that I was there during the beta / retail launch, and muse about how things were much, much worse and more unfriendly back then. I know that this line of thinking is twisted and masochistic in a sense, but right now my brain is sticking to it like a fly to a piece of fecal matter.
If anyone needs any 1-10 rank crafts for the following class, please let me know. I'll be mass crafting Fri, Sat and Sun to take money from all the new people.
Weaver
Tanner
Carpenter
Alchemist
I have other crafting classes, but those will be my focus this weekend. I want all four at 20 by early next week.

Any chance you can be on a bit at around 8pm pacific tonight? I'm just trying to get a sack.

I don't have anything for sale currently, but some of you who use the Bazaar often might want to look into it. It looks like you have to add stuff manually, though.

The cap is 120. We are currently not yet at 100. We should have enough room for the SE folks.
It's a little frustrating hearing that FFXIV is kinda... sucky right now. I guess nostalgia and fanboyism will carry me for a few months - and the fact that I wont have all that much time to play it per week.
But I really hope by the new year, it has some more substance (I really don't understand how they can have a crafting based economy, and no auction house... seriously).

The crafting and gathering are really fun, completely unlike XI at least.
pancakesandsex said:
That's really a good thing to hear, in every MMO I've played, I've either played the crafter class (artisan/weaponsmith in SWG, Blacksmith in RO) or focused a lot of energy in crafting, it's really enjoyable for me, and a robust system makes all the difference.
I don't have the game yet, I'll have it tomorrow - although I probably wont be able to play it until all my computer parts come in - so in a few days. Still, I hope I can get in with the GAF server, any MMO is exponentially more fun when you play with people you know.
Well I haven't read the thread, and I heard that FF XIV has a ton of problems. Still though I decided to plunk down the money for the LE.
I was told that Soloing is actually doable this time around and I did like alot of what I saw about XI but I just never got into it so I am hoping I will be able to with XIV.
Is there a noobie group for Gaf that is cool with helping with people that really only have experince with WoW?
I played my DK up to 80 and will be picking up Cata but from everything I have heard FF XI and FF XIV are completely different beasts compared to WoW and I would like to get some pointers so I can get over the learning curve going from WoW to FF XIV as smoothly as possible.

Thanks.
Mine shipped out tonight. I wonder if this new release day delivery setup is going to be cost effective for Amazon. Mine was shipped out UPS Next Day Air tonight. I would think they would have a cut off to give themselves time to ship things out. It seems you can order things the day before and they'll still try and get it to you. I'm not complaining but found it interesting.

I think you did yourself a favor. While I've been having a lot, and I do mean A LOT of fun playing. I too have exams and it's been awfully hard to try and stay away from the game lol. There are obviously a lot of issues with the game which have been discussed in this thread. Despite how anger inducing a lot of the omissions have been to me personally, I honestly can't stop thinking about the game, which is a great sign. When you do finally jump on board, I would imagine a lot of the current problems will have been ironed out.
