    Seems like people still haven't learned how to not stand in bad shit. Cycled through about 10 different people doing the Cutter dungeon yesterday afternoon. Every single one of them died multiple times every pull on the sandworm boss, even after I repeatedly explaining the (completely obvious...

    You probably have an overlap with your GC hunting log

    If it's like beta, they will close and open as population fluctuates.

    Anyway, I logged out and logged back in and was able to redeem my PS3 code with no problem

    As a note to that guy who was complaining about Square using Apache... Hah! We have complete proof that they are, in fact, using nginx, as evidenced by all of the errors being shown :P

    As someone who runs nginx/php-fpm/(memcached/redis)/mariadb/(sphinx/elasticsearch) setups for a living, and helps run a vB4 based forum that as of this minute has 450 users and 1500 guests online... Dude. You'rereallynitpicking their webserver setup. It's also pretty crazy to claim that Apache...

    I haven't been hit by a single telegraph that I dodged successfully. Hit/dodge on them is determined by when the red circle disappears, not the actual animation. re: quests, supposedly they get massively better after 20 and the ifrit quest, but I haven't actually done that yet.

    It's pretty annoying, as a gladiator at least. For AoE stuff I found that I could hold aggro on an infinite number of things for forever with flash (AOE +enmity) -> fast blade -> riot blade (mp regen combo bonus) ->fast blade -> riot blade -> flash Our ranged enmity move (shield toss)...

    Uhm. Have tanked (GLD) and healed (CNJ) the instances. I did not, at any point in time, have the ability to do more than marginal amounts of DPS when healing, nor was there ever a point on my GLD that I was taken so little damage that I didn't need to be healed, except for the one run where...

    Not sure how those all ended up resized differently, but man, the game is beautiful.

    Full/open isn't a static thing with these. It's dynamic, and it being full might last 5 minutes or an hour. Same thing with it being open. It's not like gilg is shutdown until further notice for character creation, or anything. Anyway, having taken another class to 20, I've now got a maxed...

    I played for 12 hours and got ARC to 20, and CNJ to 15. I'm not 100% certain how the tagging system seems to work. As best as I can tell, if you tag a mob, and others kill it, you get full XP. Also, if someone else tags a mob, but you do at least 30-50% of the damage, you get full XP (These...

    Not sure what I'm going to do the rest of the weekend... already level 19. Guess I'll get CNJ to 15 for BRD after I finish this up.

    Didn't have any luck sitting there pressing refresh over and over again every 3 minutes, so I rebooted the whole thing. Got the lobby error the first time, got back in the second and Gilgamesh was up. 16 player queue
