I'm sure everyone is happy go lucky about it and being honorable and not gaming the system at all.
Why not have both?
I like WoW more then this, to bad there is no WoW on the PS4
Probably because I'm not in a FC or any Linkshells, but the game is very, very quiet. I'll see a bunch of people around, but nobody talking or anything. It gets lonely/boring very quick. :/

They seem to be mostly complaining that you can fight NPCs.
Hey man, I don't know if you looked at the ranking board before the morning. King Elmer won the last tournament. It wouldn't be fair if we didn't let him compete. He probably win farmed that 3 diamonds NPC though. They seem tight.
Yeah that's what I have been doing. My accuracy is at 501 at the moment, my gear is a mix of WoD, ironworks and evenstar, but I'm not doing Coil so anything around that accuracy should be plenty, right?
With only a 15 match cap, it doesn't really require a ton of careful orchestration. Still annoying but let's be real, of the Internet can abuse the system, it will be abused.

It'd probably be worthwhile to join one of GAF's FCs if you're feeling lonely. I did a world transfer for the same reason; pricey, but ultimately worth it. You don't sound like you're too far along, so just make a new character on Ultros or one of the others in the OP.
I came from WoW to this. WoW is a great package, but aside from the poor PvP design, there are few things ARR doesn't do as good or better. Plus, it definitely felt like WoW was balanced in favor of people who have been playing longer, and I was only about lvl 65, you could see how I would feel out of place
fuck looms
Sidenote, my free period is wrapping up and I just set up for a 180 day renewal for those mounts and minions, plus I upgraded to the digital collectors. I'm in deep guys.
I'm already on Ultros, level 28 archer named Harvey Specter.

Squenix had literally no idea what they were doing with TT tournament, what a shock. After all, everything else they do is well thought-out in advance.
I should have just gotten 15 people to job for me so I could get the Lightning card and then throw it away in public because Lightning sucks.

Oh, awesome then. You should submit an application here and just look up or find one of us in game (our FC tag is GAF), right-click on us > Company Profile, then submit an application through there. The GAF FC on Ultros is really active and it's filled with really helpful people, I think it'll fix your loneliness issue right up if I do say so myself.

You don't really have to worry about accuracy if you aren't doing Coil. Some of the trials have some semblance of an accuracy cap but if you aren't doing Coil, you can grab anything you want.
This, this is magical.
That's beautiful. So much stupid in one place. It's like he's reached the perfect form of stupidity.
It completely sucks that Firion, Cecil, Tidus, and Lightning cards are from a broken tournament format. Have the developers ever played a competitive online game before with a rating system?!?! Even World of Warcraft has a history of calculating ratings via Elo or TrueSkill. Where are my statistics text books from university so I can bang my head against them due to this crap?
This is why I never respond to people or tell them how to do their jobs in DF.

keep those low/no expectionations in check bro
Noooooooooooooo!
My expectations are at an all-time high after the covering I bought had 4-star Cunning on both parents.
Explain to me what the cunning stat does.
Not sure, but it seems to affect the amount of speed lost from changing lanes. My play style is all about debuffing the leaders and catching up at the second half with that cunning and acceleration.
Fair, I stick to the front and stand in front of the guy trying to pass me because I'm a troll.
Reddit post said:
I don't have much difficulty moving to either side and passing a guy if I have enough stamina. Regardless, my goal of breeding is to gain stars and not lose any. The achievement requires 17 stars at pedigree 9. It will be harder to get to 17 stars if you lose stars on the way.

No.
Nonononono.
TURN BACK NOW, YOU CAN STILL ESCAPE. Once you do books it's probably too late, but there's still hope.
Is this Scy's fault? Don't listen to that guy.
I expect everything is my fault.
I'm still a scrub on my first chocobo. Once I have all non-bullshit tournament cards I'm sure I'll take it more seriously.

If only you knew the background behind blaming scy for everything dumb I do, then you'd know why I'm laughing incessantly right now
Yeah I just checked the reddit thread and it seems I don't need to worry too much. That's good to know, thanks for the advice.
Relic, the rage town of FFXIV.
That's not really the main complaint at all, just one version of the same complaint NA players have. The NPC aspect of the complaint is someone can farm NPCs for high points, then lose on purpose in exchange for gil. The buyer would then easily get very high rank. But there are other posts in the thread about the same sort of collusion, whether that be between players/fcs or someone with multiple accounts/alts.
The sentiment is pretty much identical to the English ones, this tournament system is poorly thought out and there needs to be a random matchmaking system or something to fix this.
1000 dps? Step it up Kagari.This, this is magical.
I'm still on my first one, a few ranks away from my first breeding attempt. I'm just learning from the derpy descendants of others to figure out my long-term breeding plan.

I don't believe you. Japan is a magical land where honour rules. Square Enix wouldn't shoot themselves in the foot like that!

I think we need a version of that post with respect to the TT tournament design.

Says I don't have permission to view the page. Maybe it's because I registered on the site around ARR's launch? I had the game preordered, but I never had the time to get into it. Now, though, my university's TAs and contract faculty have gone on strike so all classes, labs, tutorials etc. are cancelled until who knows when. I's gots all the time in the world right now.

Na seems it's broken I'm getting the same thing. Can just apply ingame and someone will invite you later on probably anyway then you can explain the site isn't working.
Applied ingame a few days back and whisped a few people but they were all AFK. :c
Got my squall card and that's it I now quit TT. I can't be bothered deal with crappy AI who not affected by rules or just shitty drop rate. They managed turn TT from a fun mini game to a test of patience.
Now I begin the next patient grind Atma or maybe just go for Ironworks equipment instead

Which application are you? Going to sort through them in a bit. You might already be on the spreadsheet or something.

Harvey Specter. Message was "Windam from GAF". Very creative, I know.
You're in. I was wondering if you were the Fallen Soul guy, who isn't on guildworks or the spreadsheet as far as I can tell.

So someone asked me to perhaps fill in as SMN for T10-12 and while I know how to play it, I have not raided as SMN since the days of first Coil, any tips?

Tell them that they need to prove that they're worth a shit and care to get things done, rather than you focusing on working on yet another class that won't see much Coil because the group falls apart before downing anything.
