How do you actually send tells? I keep pulling command errors.

If someone could just invite me, if anyone reads this thread and can, kindly do so. My character is Maple Inne.

/tell XXX XXXX
/t XXX XXXX

Been doing that and whisper and every variant I could think of. Maybe it just displays a generic error if the person is offline or something.

Quick other Q while I'm here, is there a shortcut for the map on the controller?

Anyone had trouble with the Lv15~17 fight?

I have SweetFX running now, too, if anyone cares. Looks gorgeous with SweetFX at 1440p.

Anyone try using the small keyboard attachment for the PS3 controller?

I don't have any way to talk to anyone right now except the on screen keyboard and that takes forever.

Yep its hard, as pug did the first quest of the uldah one at 14 just letting the npc kill everything and running away. Got past the first part of the second quest and got kill by the lvl 16 mob becuase of really strong poison, going to try again tho

oh that one, i remember the lnc one was really hard too
i'm pretty sure you're supposed to level up your other classes to get some skills to make the fight easier

I can't actually get into that fight now because of the crowds of people spamming it. Is that a block so I can't level any more or are there other zones that facilitate that range?

I'm so early in, mostly dinking around, but I have to say that I can't believe they seemingly pulled this off. The quality of design and general level of subtle usability and quality of life in so many facets of the game are really shocking me, I mean it's the antithesis of FFXI and XIV 1.0. I mean, it's still pretty much just another WoW-era MMO but it has a lot of style and heart and more meaningful subtle design to it that makes it so much more fun to stick with thus far, which is pretty much what all the WoW-clones lacked. It also has so many nice quirks and callbacks to the FFXI nostalgia in me.

It'll be very curious to see how it holds up over time, post-release. Hopefully this kind of care is met with some success, as well.

If you're talking about the (Ul'dah story spoiler?)
Masked Mage and his 'Violator' looking pet
I just out-ranged the caster and kited the big mob and had a hi pot + antidote for his venom.

As for my initial Phase 3 impressions; Awesome, everything feels fast, fluid and flashy now. Tanking feels good, guildhest are pretty fun so far and I'm enjoying the way they let you sync your level down for content that you out-level (FATE, lower level guildhest).

Yeah,
I'll try not aggro the Masked Mage next time

However, getting in there is bloody hard. It's camped to hell.

How did you manage to get SweetFX working? I've been trying to mess with it for the past two hours after reading your post, lol. I can't seem to make it work. Tried the stand alone install, the GUI bundle, and even RadeonPro. Nothing works.

I just fiddled around with the injectors for a bit. Someone people say use this or that, I found that Boulotaur2024's injector (google should give you a link) makes it work.

This piece of art was on my launcher:

Nice, eh?

Cant wait to see what the Magitek Train looks like. Its also interesting that its a common thing now. Also its crazy much being able to actually look off a cliff, see people fighting in the distance, then jump off said cliff to help, adds to the overall experience.

I'm a little curious how many zones we'll have at launch. Currently all the zones spread from Lv.1 to around 40, right? I really hope Coerthas isn't beat down into one zone like some of the rumours suggest.

Pretty sure I've snuck past some mid 40s mobs but don't think I've seen 50 around anywhere yet.

I was reading somewhere coerthas and mordhona are composed by 2 areas each. But dunno if it was confirmed (the info was from recent B3 dats).

None of the low level skills are useful on pug. Cant equip any spells and rampart isnt usuable on pug.

Had antidotes, got poisoned a second time before the timer was halfway done. The poison was doing about 20+ a tick :(


I think i'm just going to level a bit

Are any of you guys experiencing nvidia driver crashes?
It seems to only be affecting me in ffxiv. Furmark and occt runs fine. Other games as well.
I've been reading about disabling dof/shadows but haven't gotten around testing it.


EDIT:
seems like it might've been bad drivers.. reverted to another set and it's working just fine now.

Your name is maple Inne, dude I've been seeing you everywhere lol. Actually I've been seeing a lot of gaffers on here, though I changed my character so I probably won't see you guys much anymore. I got started in some dessert place instead of the woods this time.
 
I'm curious if any voice acting will be in this game. There seemed to be some in the trailers, but I havent run across any in game yet.
