Samurai 70. I managed to do the final Samurai fight before everything went to shit. It was a fantastic fight. Frantic/10.

@_@ 809 queue for Ultros. Man, there were a lot of people who didn't do early access I guess.
While I wait. My 270 character before spamming for better gear.
Yeah, I am not a big fan of the SMN AF. Look way to much like the last one. Does show off Legacy Tattoo really well on the back though.

We're still in launch week. It's unsurprising that things get worse towards evening, this is when people play the most.
The instance server problems are going to force queues everywhere; been trying for 40 minutes to get back into a dungeon (I want to finish MCH today, maybe spam through BRD tomorrow, and squeeze in RDM Thursday/Friday if possible) and every time it 90ks out the queue grows. First time was 300, now 1,500 people to get back into Levi.

People were early pulling several ARR S ranks earlier today.
And I Ive had terribel luck finding ARR A Ranks. I think those might be gone for good, as it seems people are jsut soloing them. Found someoen soling Hellsclaw earlier.
I wish HW and SB hunts dropped Allied seals.
Why are the vaulable?

That mount speed upgrade. Once you run fast, you can't go back.
You can now upgrade your mount speed in ARR zones using Allied Seals (250 seals per zone), they still reward Tomestones (even though we get triple marks in the new zones since everything has 3 instances right now), and there's the new achievement (2k S ranks, 3k A ranks) for the tiger mount.

Nooo. 90k after getting into the first 8 man fight. 800 queue to get back in and another 25 minutes of DF it is I guess.
Thanks!

I don't know why I didn't get the welcome back golden feathers,
I was a subscriber that hadn't logged in between January and June 11th just like it says.

Just beat the first optional dungeon. After turning in the quest, there's a line of dialogue that was left in Japanese. I found a few bug reports for it, but haven't found any translation. Any ideas?
Off topic a bit, but what's the verb there? 参りたい It looks like? Hard to make out in the pic.
Yes. 参る being the humble (to the other person being spoken to) form of 行く
if an area of the map is completely inaccessible to you you probably need to progress in the main scenario
It will never cease to amaze me how successful ZR was in framing GAF for all early hunt pulls.
GAF en masse never early pulled; a couple of isolated individuals did at one point or another, people in another large FC started blaming GAF back in the 2.x days, three years later everyone still parrots it. It's a self-sustaining meme.
Unless they all grew goatees and started wearing leather jackets and smoking since I left, I don't think GAF is the bad boys of their ward of the Mist, let alone the whole server.
Ha ha. This is a meme... not real.

We did early pull the Western Highlands A hunt the day before servers went down before the great walk.
It was hilarious.
You can level as any class really, though tank and healer will get you through the story dungeons faster

I'm not a great tank.....and dear heavens an even worse healer. Is it hard tanking or healing?
I played Guild Wars mainly, never touched WoW

All the new stuff and the Calvary Armor still looks the coolest for some reason imo.

Guild wars as in GW2 or GW1? 2 didn't have healers or tanks as far as I remember, I think they added some elite spec that had better healing but nothing too special.
In terms of what's harder, tank is easier imo. There's only a handful of fights where the tank actually has to play right, a lot of the time it's grab the mob, turn it around, press your buttons and wait 5-10mins for it to die. Have to keep cooldowns for tank busters every now and then but in general it's just a lot easier cause there's not nearly as mechanics to do as tank. Obviously there's room for improvement and stuff but it's fairly straightforward.
Healing is imo harder because you have to both do mechanics and stay focused on health bars to keep everyone alive, but not too focused if you don't want to die to random aoes and what not.
They definitely will level a lot faster due to faster queues for all the dungeons and trials you have to do along the way. Although I guess if you're in a good FC you can grab a tank and a healer to help run through stuff unsynced or whatever and should be able to smash every fight fairly easily like this too.
It's just if you join a dungeon and people decide to abandon because whatever reasons, having 2-10mins queues is a lot better than having 30-40mins queues. But if you want to play a DPS class you can, it's not THAT bad with friends/FC as I said.
Alright i'll take this bait.
i don't know how long you played on Ultros for but "get gaf" is a server meme from 2.0 days when we had a few bad apples. ZR and other fc's used to blame us even if no one from gaf was near the hunt. now a days GAF'D is used as a server meme and 100% of the time is not someone from gaf who pulled. so for the sake of the community PLEASE don't believe everything you read in shout chat.
we are the badboys of the server lol first time to hear that.

Half of Gilgamesh crashed
Yeah, I got 90k and I cant even get to the queue, it just says "can't retrieve character due to server congestion". Oh well, I was about to wrap it up for the night anyway...

1st guild wars, wasn't a fan of the second one since they got rid of the trinity aspect.
Guess I will roll tank, thanks for the response
Hahah same here. Now it's 500 queue on Faerie.
The lack of trinity is why I quit GW2. I loved elementalist. I hated everyone being a tank/healer/dps and being terrible at all of the roles.
Hope you like FFXIV! Take it slow, at your own pace. No rush to get to Stormblood as it'll be relevant for the next two years with new patches and content rolling out every 3-4 months.
