I just did a run of Quarn. Asked the group if they knew how to fight the first boss. Tank starts rushing in. Gets killed 3-4 times by doom. Healer can't keep up and we wipe.
I spent the rest of the dungeon giving commands to the rest of the group
I got all three commendations :O
and I'm a Dragoon.

Nice. I got a commendation tonight on Wanderer's, which I thought was pretty good considering I'm a MNK.
Probably to stop troll/spam? Doesn't seem much different from say, needing an email that isn't free to register here.
Funny how, a few days into 2.2, I'm already compiling a wish list of stuff I want for 2.3
Gilgamesh HM or Extreme
Ultima Extreme
Another new Primal.
And they should all drop ilvl110 jewelry, and tokens that can be used to unlock different kinds of 110 gear, like Genji Armor.
They've been talking about personal housing for 2.3 right? I really hope they do indeed Institute that. Also, they should further expand things you can do with FC housing. The FC house should essentially become a workshop that can be used by crafters to produce high quality stuff for the FC.
Not sure how the specifics of that would work though.
Really need to overhaul the PVP too.
Anyone else making a wishlist for 2.4?

Someone just got mad at me on Diabolos because I didn't Stoneskin the Nightmares and made the fight take 15 seconds longer. Oh jeez....
I find that, perhaps more than other MMOs, I'm just excited at what new features FFXIV will have in the future. Something about the massive nature of the updates, the dedicated patch cycle, how they easily communicate what is happen in the next patches, etc, etc...

The live letters and mega trailers before each patch never cease to excite me.

That's like every dungeon for a healer.

You need a GSM for that!

I only wish. I get them all on my tank, but never my healer.
Man, I have been reading that the Mirror drop rate for Leviathan Ex is like 1%-5%. And that's on top of how you'll be competing against 7 other people for it if it drops. Between this and the alleged rare drop rates of Sands of Time/Oil of Time/Unidentified Allagan Tome Stones + 2nd Coil lockout, Kagari was right... this patch really is RNG Reborn.
Looks like I'm grabbing the Atma one way or another.

secondhand information but was told that the coil items for weathered weapons are guaranteed and are given to everyone in the party

Well this is interesting. New class soon-ish? Spoiler, obviously
If RMTs are bad in-game, could you imagine the forums? lol
Up to level 10 as of last night, in the midst of my Archer class quest. Only thing that's annoyed me so far is an item called "Leggings" that is actually a foot item. Needed a level 5 thing in 4 slots to progress and ran out of quests so had to AH a cheap pair instead of the leggings I got from a quest.
Surely that's what captcha is for? I understand the reasoning... except that not allowing people to ask for help on the forums when they're levelling (and likely most in need of help) is ridiculous.
Once I'm at level 50 I'll just use it to whine like everyone else does.
Yeah, I WTF'd at that as well. Apparently there's an NPC close by that sells what you need.
The game doesn't do you a good job of telling you this, but there's a vender nearby in each respective area that sells the level 5 equipment cheaply.
Is this the real deal?
Interesting, Looks like a Fencing sword, so Magic Knight, Branching into Red Mage and Fencer ?
Already been confirmed as fan made, apparently.

(2.2 main story ending spoilers)
The final cutscene is basically a tease of a new class (probably something like thief) and a job (ninja probably)
Class thief with branching so Assassin DD/Debuff and Ninja Eva/Blink tank ? But then we get into dose it use ninja tools like ffxi or TP/Mana for shadows/Elemental attacks

Ari, you have a friend!
Take it to PMs please.
It's understandable why there's so much talk about it. Currently, the cross-class system doesn't work all that well, and the job system doesn't work all that well. Adding more classes and more jobs means both systems are improved upon significantly. Plus, Final Fantasy has a huge variety of jobs in its lore to use, many of which are currently not represented. Even classic staples like Thief and Red Mage are noticeably absent.
I believe before adding jobs to the game, the job system would need a revamp. Ditch the classes altogether, retool each job with all of the tools they need, get rid of some of the skill bloat, then get rid of cross class skills. Cross class skills allows SE to continue to be lazy and force people to level more jobs for essential skills a job may be lacking. It is lazy, and silly in my opinion. It is no where near as good as XI's system and with the way this game is set up, it won't be.
Clean up the system first, then add new goodies. =)

I'm probably alone in this, but I'd love the game to be more alt friendly. I'd actually rather level multiple different characters.
EDIT: Beta client page is up, UK (and I assume EU) folks.

The original idea (before jobs were added) was kind of interesting. But jobs on top of just feels so forced and doesn't work as well. I would love if they removed classes and just had jobs. It simplifies things so much and you don't really lose anything.
I also agree about skill bloat. When the level cap goes up and more and more abilities get added, it's going to get dumb. Especially for controller players.
Alternatively, I think it would help even if combo skills just replaced the skills they combo from temporarily.
Like if you use True Thrust, that same button should just be replaced with Vorpal Thrust. And if you use Vorpal Thrust, that same button should just be replaced with Full Thrust. When would you ever want to use True Thrust if you can use Vorpal? And when would you ever want to use True/Vorpal when you can use Full Thrust?
I know there's several times I would have loved to drop down to a class for this Atma farming, but I couldn't because the Zenith weapon is Paladin only. None of the Paladin-exclusive skills are terribly beneficial when farming FATEs.
Some of my other equipment is Paladin only too. Which is just weird given the class/job system. The whole thing needs a revamp.

It's hardly stretching. During the cutscenes they explicitly comment on a characters fighting style from a far off land and how said character would like to offer it to denizens of Eorzea as thanks for letting said character and others like it stay. They also then expand on that by having an existing character comment on said fighting style and how it is similar to their own style which they learned from a shadowy group while staying in an existing city.
Then again it could be massive misdirection and the new class will be Chocobo Wrangler into Bird-Horse Knight.

I actually really like this system as it gives you a good understanding of how other classes operate. It's particularly helpful if you're a tank, for example, because you can learn the strengths and weaknesses of the other tank, what kind of healing to expect from your healer, the best way to position mobs for your melee party members and so on. True, you can look this all up and have an intellectual understanding, but you can make snap decisions better with actual experience.
That said, it is pretty rigidly set up and it'd be nice if there were more room for weird stuff, like, say, crossing Blizzard 2 to a tank class so you can bind enemies. Or crossing traits as well as skills so you can be a Warrior with a million HP. But I guess that would break the game just a little bit.

Same here. If I'm forced to grind in low level areas, I want to use my low level classes. A good change of pace and more constructive than just wasting that EXP.
