I still hate lalas but I think we cease fired during that miserable week where I had to run WoD forever for the OK card.
Yes. Download the 14 day trial and see for yourself.
Didn't I already tell you that you needed to be awake during weekly reset for best shot at winning these days? I blame Gryvan for forgetting.
If you just beat up on one of the easier NPCs, you can get 20-30k per tournament!

Nah, more to it than that to win. You'll get solid top 10 with that though.
I also blame Gryvan though.
Well I dont need a huge world event or anything, just something on the scale of 1.0's end. At least have some dragons flying around high in the sky near Coerthas, or random dragon type enemies that arent aevis introduced to Coerthas.
Duh, you can't just play at weekly reset and win against random scrubs. I wouldn't consider playing the first tournament by only challenging people who offered 100+ base tournament points and probably were unfamiliar with the rules of the tournament as playing legitimately. Gaming the system is gaming the system.
I didn't realize this was a thing until like my 9th or 10th win (out of 15 matches then) so I wouldn't really saying I was gaming the system. I was under the impression people were getting to be worth less because I was on a winning streak, it didn't occur to me that it was based on them only and was not related back to my W/L record as well.
Don't be jelly because I beat you

I was getting ready for work and trying out different decks for the rule set in practice matches, not knowing there was a cap in tournament matches so they weren't just practice matches. I'm surprised I didn't lose more often that first Tuesday morning. A one-card loss from the last move is not shameful. Too bad the tournaments have been a disgrace, so meta of decks have not been evolved as much as they could have.
So, are we getting EXP bonus for sub-50 content? My wife had the crazy idea of creating a Youtube channel for fun (mostly to show it to friends) with the progress of new characters to Heavensward, and I'm afraid it's going to be long...
And the new classes are only in Ishgard, right?

I remember hearing them say they would be scaling the exp for the story quests and stuff, so I assume so?
They unlock in Ishgard, yes, I'm sure their questing will take you all over old zones though.
2.0 quests are supposed to provide double EXP. It's possible they will double other sources like fates/leves too at same time, haven't said.
And yeah, the new jobs are unlocked somewhere in Ishgard.
That translation from the other day updated with vague dungeon stuff. More on yes, that Rafflesia is basically Rafflesia with tweaked timing and somehow more defanged than already nerfed Rafflesia, but also they heard we like Demon Walls:
Overall difficulty again confirmed to be lower than pre-nerf PS.

Why do they always say I have nightmares of AK? I played AK pre all nerfs. Demon wall was baby mode.
I don't even have 30 TT cards. I don't see the appeal of TT.
The door is that way.

I have like 20 something. I dont even care about TT. When I do the tournies, I just fight the same npc over and over again
A lot of people didn't know how to play back then. What's more, the ring-out mechanic was a bit unusual at the time. It was more similar to the Titan Extreme Stomp-Attack style ring-outs, rather than the Land Slides we had been experienced in story mode.
Easy enough to handle, but throw in the, "I don't really know how to play yet," factor, and it's easy to see why some people might have had trouble.
PS: Also the DPS checks were kinda harsh when everyone was ilvl50 only. I think the intention was for people to do Wanderers Palace first for i55 gear, but there initially wasn't any Tomes to farm out of WP. So people skipped it and farmed AK instead.

Aaaa that haurchefant makes me feel tingly all over
BTW: Amazon is selling FFXIV ARR for 10usd right now. Granted that doesn't include the expansion, but with a price like that it'll be cheaper to buy the base game and expansion separately then it would be to buy the bundle.
So if somebody is looking to expand the available platforms they can play on, now is a good time.

I tried out TT just to see how it was this past Saturday morning. 11 hours later I had the Squall card. Must. Get. More.

^ i hummed the entire song in my head using those lyrics and it was quite fitting.
Is it possible to do something similar to 1.0 and play a big CS for everyone still logged in at maintenance before d/cing them without us currently knowing? Cause that would be cool but I am not exactly getting my hopes up either.
I feel like Tataru needs some sort of blood-soaked weapon in hand to match the eyes.

Funny story! I bought a new Hard Drive, installed windows and FFXIV on it and the problem was worse than it was on the original Hard Drive! So I guess it wasn't that.
What happens is after an hour+ playing things will stop loading. Like the first thing that will happen is that the teleport menu won't come up when I hit the teleport button. Then animations will stop loading, so it looks like people are standing still and skating around. Then if I load my inventory, 95% of the icons won't appear. Then everything in the computer itself starts loading really really slow, like the game won't even shut down and I have to restart.
I did have a problem with the GPU on this computer where it would crash in some graphics intensive situations (strangely, usually right after beating a coil turn during the "boss dying" cutscene) the screen would go black and I'd have to restart. I turned off repeated cutscenes and tweaked the graphics settings so it hardly ever happens anymore. Maybe this non-loading thing is related to the GPU? But it most often happens when I'm in my house crafting which is hardly graphics intensive. If anyone knows what might be causing it let me know.
When I installed the new Hard drive last week I also cleaned out all the dust in there and it hasn't happened since then, so there's that.

Just realized I have around 90 quests to do before I can access Heavensward stuff :^)
Still need to get Alchemist and, I think Weaver to 50. Should have Alchemist most the way there by the expansion, weaver will lag behind a bit though. Not certain which one I'll take to sixty first to be honest, originally I just wanted them all at 50 so I could repair my own gear.
To that end, I guess I'll have to get them all to sixty eventually. :/

I love my ninja but even with a vpn, the mudra lag is just unfun. If I want the high dps without the headaches, I just go as monk or dragoon.
You two gonna make-out now :V

They should remove the 0.5s cooldown on mudras.
You uh, know that you can repair items 10 levels above your crafter level, right? You only need level 40 to repair all the 50 items, will likely only need 50 to repair all the 60 ones...
Yeah, I need wtfast running for NIN to be playable. Usually it works well but some nights it doesn't work and it's incredibly frustrating. The large DPS loss isn't even as frustrating as the actual "feel" of the classes when mudras are lagging, it feels janky and like you're fighting with the class to work properly.
I'm pretty sure the cooldown is just the basic oGCD cooldown, I don't think they have a way to completely remove it. That's why you're not generally supposed to stack oGCDs on other classes either.
My suggestion would be to increase the cooldown to like 1s and boost potencies/buff times to compensate. With a 1s CD there would still be lag, but not on same level as it is now, you'd get double the time basically to complete it properly.
edit - Alternative solution would be to just allow normal GCDs in between mudras. Then you could just use them inbetween attacks without losing GCDs.
Assuming they add new Leves it should be pretty easy. Crafters really are simplicity to level.
Also getting both of those classes give you super OP skills Comfort Zone is legit as hell and Careful Synthesis II becomes your main synthesis button after you get it.
I had no idea about this <.< I just wanted my crafters leveled up (ARM should be done soon. 20 more levels roughly then I'll be a builder of the realm).
So yeah, this is good to know actually.

Either allow us to weave them inbetween other abilities or make it so the mudras don't trigger the offGCD.
It's ridiculous that the class gets limited in this way where as other classes don't have to deal with it at all. I am assuming this issue is non-existent in Japan due to server/player proximity.
Which means the likelihood of it getting fixed or even being put on a priority list is probably low.
Thing is I don't know if they actually can make it have no cooldown, that's what I mean. There's no good reason to have the .5s cooldown on oGCD skills, it's likely just lag from the server, a small window that the game needs to recognize the skill was used. This game has always been terrible in that department.
But yeah it's some BS, and if you watch JPN streams of NIN it is not generally a issue. Their mudra times are ridiculous. Last time I saw them mention it they just said it was not their issue and was on the player's side (which is technically true I guess), but it's a terrible stance to take since there is not a ton we can do on our side. They can.

When the solution to a "problem on the player's side" is to move to another country then that's just bad design imo.
That kind of "fuck you, got mine" attitude annoys me.
No, there isn't a downside to being in a stance so it'll be like shield/sword oath. You will always want one up.
Paladins are better than warriors, always have been, always will be.
is XIV the only game doing this?
The guaranteed block is just a one time block, the parry one allows you to parry literally every hit over its duration. It's more like Warrior Bulwark, only better/worse at the same time. They aren't meant to be comparable skills, I don't think.
Go level your Bard or something.
It's the only game l play on there! Well the kids play Minecraft a lot. Anyways it only happens when I'm playing FFXIV.
