    Sounds like about half the servers just dropped. If it's gunna crash, may as well do it now for dinner.

    Really? That seems lame. The bounty mobs weren't that bad after they put in the patch to make them appear more often. And yea, I would also suggest saving them for crafting logs if you want to level a crafting class.

    I'll add some Addendums: 1 - Do not spam the additional guildleves immediately during early access or release. You will need a stockpile to progress in the Grand Company hunting logs (if you want to complete the GC huntings logs while leveling. Otherwise, do what you wish) 2 - You can only...

    Based on my experiences in the beta I didn't find the time investment worth it. The HQ plate gear takes up two slots of equipment which lessens its benefits. With properly socketed materia it would be better, yea, but the materia system has its own limitations (stat caps, only allowing you...

    The inventory system is a pretty big POS once you have a lot of items (this goes for inventory and the armory system) but at least they had the courtesy to separate the equipment. After a couple patches it should be good.

    I doubt they truly give a shit about XIV but tailoring patches and expansions around what the rest of the market is doing is nothing new for Blizzard.

    The fucked itemization helped keep mudflation in check back then, though. Non-raiders could put together a set of blues that were competitive with epics until the raiders had been in BWL for a while (provided they weren't top top end and didnt have Rag on farm for a while, etc) and the stupid 1...

    And you think having unique combat mechanics is going to result in anything different? The only difference is that right now it's on paper and we haven't seen how much it will suck in use. Sticking with WoW to stay on topic - Frost Mages will always be better than Arcane and Fire in...

    Mobs having different requirements isn't what the "next generation" wanted, though. Older MMOs had mobs that were easier if you had slashing rather than piercing weapons, or fire instead of ice magic. Some mobs detected with sound instead of sight. Granted, these were all passive instead...

    The problem is that MMOs used to be fun during the journey AND at cap. Ask people what their most memorable zones in MMOs are. EQ? You get a lot of Lower Guk's. FFXI? Valkurm Dunes. WoW? The Barrens. What do these all have in common? They're not zones you first see at max level. Now...

    I tested the combat->crafting leve trick a couple times and couldnt get it to work. Doing the leve on a high level combat class and switching to a lower one did, however. The crafting leves gave an assload of xp if you got HQ items anyway you guys are too far to either extreme to me...

    Are you talking about class quests or the story quest? I played CNJ from 15-22 and I can see how it could be kind of aggravating at times, especially if you had to solo more than just the hunting log. I had no problem with the class quests, though.

    Yea this is my main concern. One of the downsides to having fast leveling (and in this case, people starting at max) is it allows you no time to patch in end game content.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    The advanced classes will be the same level as your base class (in this case the Marauder). So if you want end game right away level up Marauder. If you want to play as Dark Knight for leveling don't. This is a bad example because Dark Knight could be put on Gladiator or even a new base...

    I can't comment on SWTOR because I quit that at level 5 but it looks to me to be a level to max, dick around for a bit, then level 1 or 2 other classes until you get bored and quit with the possible upside for something more. We should know pretty quickly whether there is anything to do end...
