For what it's worth, a friend of mine used a bot for Final Fantasy XI that he wrote to get himself a job, so it's worth a shot. :)

And as it turns out, the quests that precede Titan are some of the worst filler in the game. God dammit, Square-Enix.

You wound me sir! It's possible they're looking to hire another programmer after the layoffs, but I'm fairly certain that's just an old position (we were looking to bring on another programmer before the Daybreak business) and the company name was changed before the position was officially...

And then they fix it (usually) and give out of a bunch of bonuses as a mea culpa. The Marvel Heroes cycle.

RIP 40 Man Raids.

Yeah, still CPP; I usually see a group for it up in Party Finder.

I think it's a great game to play as long as you approach it with the right mindset. I was a hardcore FFXI player and wanted to approach this game with the same mentality, but it just doesn't work here. I took a break and came back to the game with the launch of 2.4 and now treat it somewhat...

I miss old Blood for Blood and Inner Release.

Ah yeah, SMN would definitely be a FATE farming beast. My SMN is somewhat geared by virtue of me having mage gear, but I don't actively play it, so I was thinking in terms of the jobs I do play. If you're talking about raiding a lot of that is really just going to depend on the needs of a...

I don't mind the books too much, but if they nerf them in the future to ease the requirements, I'd be okay with them just removing the "kill 100 mobs" part. It's tedious. Some of the FATE camping can be a pain too, there was a FATE I had to do in East Shroud that spawned once every few hours and...

Don't forget that the free login weekend is in effect. I've been playing again since the release of 2.4 and enjoying my time; just grinding away on the books for my Animus weapon and making gil. Looking forward to trying out Rogue eventually but at the moment I wanna crank through these books.

I hope no one from Faeblight spent too much time grinding!Glad I haven't put too much time into the expansion just yet.

I think it was that it was too expensive to do a full expansion's worth, essentially. These are much more limited, but I'm okay with that.

They usually do post preview patch notes around this time, which don't include the economy altering things you mention.

Second retainer is free. It's the ones after that that cost money.

3.0 is just in beta at the moment.

Sadly how I feel about it too. I came back for the free weekend they did recently and ended up subbing for a month, but after I ran the new dungeons a couple of times I realized I didn't want to do them anymore. I'd actually be okay with grinding the dungeons if there were a point to it besides...

It's possible your Provokes are getting resisted by the FATE bosses. I saw that occur fairly frequently while leveling back in the day.

Racial stat benefits are fairly minimal, you'll just have to live with the shame of playing a Roegadyn.

I enjoyed the early levels of Rift until I realized how rote the rifts themselves were.I was always excited for zone events and such.

They bring useful support (you'll mostly use Ballad [MP Regen] and Foe Requiem [+Magic Damage]) but never really feel "support-y," which is a shame. Then again I'm not sure how much room there'd be for an actual support class in this game. It's a fairly easy class to play which people will...

Depending on what server you're on, you're going to have a hard time with this. The NA playerbase isn't what it used to be in terms of size. They introduced a merc-like system, so that should help you level up at least.

That's how I am too. As soon as I finished Jean I started Emma and I want to level Strange and Iron Man after. Maybe I'll play with my capped characters more if raiding is in anyway interesting (it's not something I expect to be too serious but it might still be fun), but right now I like...

Buying consumables makes me feel weird too, though I have purchased EXP potions in a more "traditional" MMO before. I was quick to jump on those infinite harvesting tools in Guild Wars 2 when they became available this past weekend, though!

Also consider that even though you are capable of switching to any job, they won't necessarily be geared as well as others with how loot is obtained. I had every class at 50 in FFXIV but I was always identified as a Bard, Warrior or Scholar because I enjoyed them the most so I put the most...

I started playing again recently with the introduction of megaservers and brought my girlfriend along since it was on sale and we were looking for another game to play together. It certainly has a lot of flaws, but it's super great for casual playing and after playing FFXIV since the relaunch...

I'm not even that old, but I'm at a point in my life where I don't want to waste time trying to raid with people who aren't good or that I don't like. Unfortunately finding a group that meets both criteria is incredibly difficult.

Here are my feelings on Jean Grey now that I'm 51 with her: Fighting a boss that has a summons adds affix or where I have a full bar of Phoenix Force: Fighting a boss where it's just me versus the boss and they wreck my Phoenix Force bar: D: and then I pop my Ultimate and it'sagain. But...

As I said in a previous post, designers are not strictly "idea" people.

Thanks for those!

Yeah, was hoping to play around with Jean a bit before work (even though some of her stuff got delayed till next week). Oh well!

Full 2.42 patch notes:Marvel Heroes 2.42 Patch Notes - Marvel Heroes Infinite retcons are active after the patch drops, if you need one you can use the code InfiniteRetconWeek.

At my previous job (not in the gaming industry, but still a decent-sized tech company) we brought in some offshore programmers because we were having problems finding people with C++ experience. The majority of the people we hired performed excellent in interviews, but were lackluster when it...

Regarding the retcon discussion earlier, I believe we're getting unlimited free retcons next week to help with deal with some of the changes coming in the patch, so hold off on consuming any in the meanwhile.

I read that one of Jean Grey's abilities (Phoenix Inferno) was also nerfed, which would be bad considering she's already weak. Looking at the test center forums it seems like a few other characters got some nerfs; I'm hoping there's just some bugged abilities at the moment because of the other...

Thanks for this; a lot of it is where I was heading anyway but I definitely overlooked the DOT component of Lethargy so putting some points into that has made things a bit more entertaining (and it's getting buffed too, yay!). Phoenix form seemed like a must from the get go which is actually...

After taking Scarlet Witch to 60, I hate how weak I feel playing Jean Grey. :\ I'm sure there's some L2P/adjustment issues here, but her skills don't seem that fun in comparison to SW's. Hopefully she'll get more fun as I get more playtime with her.

It's hard to play other characters after being able to teleport through walls with Scarlet Witch.

Doomsaw interview:Interview with Doomsaw - April 2014 Even though I love my current job, I think it'd be fun to work on the Marvel Heroes team; the game is entertaining and I like their plans for it, they definitely seem to "get it" though I am curious what raids will be like. Guess we'll...

Much to the detriment of my clicking finger, I'm loving this game. I tried it when it first came out and wasn't feeling it that much, but due to a combination of improvements to the game and Diablo 3 reigniting my desire for loot games I'm really digging it.
