Eh, but it's not always wrong. Guild Wars 2, for example, ran like shit up till near release at which point a driver update was released that massively improved performance.

SWTOR dungeons are really good; I always scratched my head when people said SWTOR was a good single-player game but not a good multiplayer one because the most fun I had was in the dungeons. Think I might resub for a month and take another stroll through them. I still laugh whenever I crash at...

I really enjoyed the low level PVP scenarios and stopped shortly after that. Might have to reinstall the game before it officially dies since tier 1 is free to play.

If I remember correctly there will be PvP-specific abilities. Here's an interview I dug up:

Clearly you don't remember the Yutuhnga and Yhoator Jungle maps!

Nah, in the context of the post qwerty quoted SoD = Shards of Dalaya because they were talking about an original content server.

Only fairly recently did they prevent an item from being consumed with no effect if Paralyze procced while trying to use it.

It should be noted, though, that FFXIV will support add-ons.

You'd think it'd be pretty easy to name a piece of loot considering some of the names are reused across all 80 levels of itemization! :)

Blizzard is way too in love with their Horde versus Alliance setup, even if the rest of the world isn't.

This upcoming weekend is the last one; last weekend I was on vacation and I'm probably going to be spending most of my time this weekend packing unfortunately.

I wish this were the case. I started playing a bounty hunter the weekend before last and was having a reasonably enjoyable time, but I stopped when I realized I wouldn't be able to make it to cap before the double EXP promotions ended.

Agree with this. I don't mind tokens as sort of a "back up" loot system, but Rift over-emphasizes them.

Yoshida made a lot of interesting posts. Not going to copy and paste them here because they're pretty long and worth reading in their entirety: http://forum.square-enix.com/ARR-Tes...469#post777469 http://forum.square-enix.com/ARR-Tes...l=1#post777400

I wonder if you can share regular leves like you could in 1.0. Would add another benefit to grouping, at least when it comes to leveling alts. Nope!

I paid money for 1.0! ... once the Legacy program was announced. Arcanist won't be in until release.

It's only one job per classnow. Keep in mind the job system was introduced back in the 1.0 days when Yoshida's team was trying to make the game not completely awful for the people still playing it, so they didn't go too crazy with it. Scholar and Summoner are both jobs for Arcanist, yes.

Phase 4 is open beta and data will carry over unless some massive bug is found.

Just to be clear, beta phase 3 isn't over, just the first test of this phase. Don't think they've announced when beta phase 4 will begin yet.

Four hours. Finished all of the starter dungeons. That was my main goal with this beta phase, so I think I'm done until stuff carries over to release. Have to convince my friend to level Conjurer when we play for real so I can do Archer for Bard. :x I really hope they change the sound for the...

Unsurprisingly, people stood in bad on my very first dungeon boss fight.

Yeah right after I posted that I got the quest for the first dungeon lol.

Quest-wise, how far in is the first dungeon? I basically just got my airship pass.

It's even more pointless at 60, at least at this point in the game. When people were first breaking in to experts at 60, groups would run two healers to make it through. Now that everyone's geared, not so much.

Support queues won't be much better than DPS. Every calling is capable of queuing it, so you can bet everyone does.

You're stuck with Conj until you complete the level ten class quest. I'm not playing it this beta phase, but I remember Conj being pretty okay DPS for a healer class, particularly once you get Cleric Stance.

My roommate and a former roommate are working on Destiny, so I'm obligated to call you names and such for that remark! :P (I'm not that into first-person shooters either.)

Titanfall is Respawn's (ex-Infinity Ward guys) game.

I'm confused; this is Bungie's game.

Release. By the way guys, don't forget that at a certain point (when you finish your level 10 class quest I think) you can level other classes, granting you abilities that will likely help with some of the harder fights.

Not till release.

I skipped beta phase 2 so maybe this was in then, but I'm glad to see they improved the minimap from phase 1. Also, I am a sucker for people with FFXI-related names. Just saw someone named Serket Breaker run by.

I think the companions you get later on will be configurable with a FFXII gambit-like system, even. :P

1.0's engine was such shit, I can't believe the original team ever thought they were going to get it to run on PS3. I remember playing the beta of 1.0 on what was at the time a nearly top-of-the-line machine and it ran awfully. Granted, character models and such looked good but the world was so...

I'm not sure plugging in a keyboard will have the desired effect, actually. I believe the PS3 version only has the gamepad UI so that stuff might not map correctly.

I think there's one per starting nation.

I've said it before, but I definitely agree that leveling via quest hubs isn't terribly fun, which is why I plan on grinding through dungeons. I think you get access to the first one at 15? And the dungeon finder is in for this beta I believe as well.

Curious about that too. I'm primarily a PC gamer in general, but I could see myself playing the PS3 version sometimes, particularly since the game won't be dependent on third-party programs to not be awful like FFXI was with Windower. There are also tasks in the... Hunter's Log I think it's...

Keep in mind that Friday morning is also JP prime time and EU afternoon.

Welp, I was going to skip playing the betas until open beta started, but the combat changes sound like fun so I guess I'll be playing this weekend!
