Speaking of tank healing, there's already a 8 tank EX trial clear on reddit(1st story trial, the acc one).

As far as I could tell with my limited experience, the snakes just like normal only spawn in set opposite patterns. If a snake is against the wall, the other one is not against the opposite wall, and vice versa. This means you don't have to necessarily look at both snakes, only one. I like...

Oh yeah, you meant to fix the errors and shit, yeah I guess that'd be a possibility although no idea if it'd really be easy for them to switch all the login servers to the cloud. But you'd still have a bunch of queues until they add more actual servers and that's really a large part of the...

Didn't Blizzard servers complete shit themselves for a while and have hour long queues for classic launch?

WAR and PLD already had a lot, but they did buff GNB healing a fair bit, and they buffed PLD and WAR too. DRK didn't really get much in terms of self sustain, although TBN was always a pretty strong tool for that due to the low cd. PLD is still best at keeping someone else alive so you don't...

Most classes are stupid easy at low lvl, stuff really only starts to get semi complex as you get to HW/SB levels and start getting more complex abilities. BLM's pretty fun as you get higher as the rotation becomes more interesting and you get a lot more tools, plus you stop chucking the puny...

Waves? Isn't that the first EX? Although I guess in the story order it's 2nd but since it's weapons it's the one I started with. Cleared on 2nd PF, first was 30mins of people being terrible at the basic stuff but got me to see the core of the fight, then I joined a "clear party must have seen...

Ah yes Diablo 3, the utter failure, could only manage to be the 3rd best selling PC game of all times with only 20million boxes, truly a disaster. Whether you like the game or not, it sold way more than they probably planned to sell. It was a resounding success, however they did "lose" the money...

That's only gonna work if you're lucky there's an empty server on your DC, and during prime time there just isn't any empty servers overall.

The first batch is definitely harsh, I guess cause they wanted to split and not have any personnal instance to prevent Rauhbahn EX but at the same time it's a fair bit longer than the split in ShB which makes it pretty boring. After that though it kinda picks up decently, although there's still...

The combat part is the forced dungeons/trials as well as the solo instances. Admitedly due to how much story there is this time, the pacing feels off at various points because you do A LOT of story before you get to the next combat section. The first dungeon especially comes really late but even...

Why do they have the cutscenes in the PTR builds though? Surely they could just have placeholders instead?

As mentionned, start at 85. Entirely optional as they only reward the ability to dye your AF job gear. There's titles for them but not for individual jobs sadly, which really sucks since titles don't really require any work. The story quality so far varies from "absolute trash tier" for the...

So was planning to do GNB for my tank but then saw some WAR meme on reddit and checked out the skills a bit more, did some sidequests/FATEs to 81 and did a dungeon and gotta say WAR is really fucking fun with the self healing, so probably just gonna do that instead. Now you can just pop Raw...

Well yeah if you do sidequests you'll be overleveled. Early on you get more xp from the MSQ(cause of the split thing they do every expansion) so you'll be like 2lvls above normally but as you progress you get less than you need every level so it evens out halfway, but any side activities will...

That's just the role quests stuff, non repeatable, same as Crystarium deliveries. Also gives pretty shitty xp overall, still worth doing since it's easy and relatively cheap though but yeah that's not customs.

No new custom for now, in ShB it was 5.1 so I'd expect the same. I have a bunch of deliveries to make with the last 2 NPCs to fully cap them(150 achievement thing) so I'm not in a hurry, plus there's very little to do with scrips for now. And yeah quicksynthing your way to 90 is definitely very...

Na just wanted to get it out of the way, but you can slow lvl it. The only thing you can do atm is prepare crafting gear(which is white non starred gear so it's piss easy to craft) and farm materias or whatever. There's absolutely no rush for really anything. All the current combat gear gets...

There's currently no 90 combat gear, highest is 88 stuff like the ones you get from the MSQ. That's because 90 gear is added along savage, when they release tome materials as well as add master books(currently no books for crafting). The ilvl should be 580, same as the current EX drops and...

Alright done with that stuff, was surprisingly fast and cheap, only spent like a million on mats, I guess part of it is how easier it is to gather large amount of mats and how much more xp you get out of leves it feels like. 3leves self crafted is usually a level up, plus the external xp(2+ lvls...

Unlikely to do that much but might improve a bit. AST didn't look particularly more fun now but maybe I'll give it a try over WHM which definitely looks boring, although it's strong. Doing SCH atm, the 1.5s nuke change is godlike qol and it really sucks it took this long. Can use all my...

For the afk talk, don't be stupid and do it in a personnal instance area(like any inn or your GC HQ or something like that). While unlikely you don't want to get reported for afking, even if you don't get any penalty you'll likely get kicked out and eat the queue. Logged in this morning to a 25...

Yes and while they're adding some reverse gender class it's a slow process(and the classes are technically not the same even if they mirror a bunch of skills).

No there isn't at all. Even Ctrl alt del and killing the process still apparently forces a normal logout. Might work if you're not in a city so it tries to log out with the 20secs timer but haven't tested that.

Alright finally done with the MSQ. It was pretty amazing, lots of unexpected shit going on, it was quite a ride. I haven't really timed it, but it felt much longer than the usual MSQ. I think I played a bit over 50hours since launch, and while a few hours were spent doing some gathering and...

I don't think that's the issue necessarily. They've repeatedly said they couldn't open new servers due to issues getting the hardware, as well as moving personnel around to install it(which is either because it runs piece of shit software you need to know about, or because they want to oversee...

Oh wait I think I got your problem. You're a trial account? Paid subs have priority over trials in queue, which usually isn't an issue but with such a long queue, basically trial is impossible to log in with currently. Sucks but yeah for now you pretty much can't play the game unless you're...

You keep your slot when you 2002 though. I got 2 errors at launch but both time it resumed where it left off/earlier, eventually got in. Relogged at the end of the day at like 3AM and still had 2k queue but only took like 15mins to get back in. No server crash so haven't had to relog otherwise...

They didn't lie when they said this would be longer than usual, feels like I've already done as much as ShB and I'm still on the lvl 85 MSQ stuff. I guess cause there's a lot more long cutscenes and stuff not sure. Good thing is xp is plentiful for once, usually it's kinda tight at release if...

Man Ocean Fishing is pretty busted, did a run cause I figured I wanted to get my Fishing up for ventures, gained 2 entire levels(from 80.7 to 82.7) with 0 spectral(2man boat with a newb, so even the spectral fish I got didn't proc) and since I wanted to try the big fish I was conserving GP so...

I got back roughly where I was both times I got booted so far.

Ah now got in, 1500th in queue, gained 500spots since the crash.

Yep queue crashed, now can't get back in queue, guess the login servers are taking a poop.

Patch is up for download btw. In case you run into the error message about version mismatch, go to My Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn and edit FFXIV_BOOT.cfg with Notepad, then change BootVersionCheckMode 0 to 1 and launch it again, it'll force download the new patcher...

Book will be available until next tuesday AND can be turned next week too(books last for 2weeks). Likely worth doing though since it's half a level for a fairly short amount of time if you use your lvl 80 and unsync, you won't beat it doing anything else I think. Also the book gives a bunch of...

Well there's no rework coming I don't think, a few classes are already planned for reworks, but Summoner isn't one of them at least as far as I understand, the classes looking at reworks are Arcana and one of the warrior classes(I think the hammer one?). The only thing close is the fact Summoner...

No no, adding Sorc was a great idea, I totally agree with this one, pretty sure I said the same thing a few posts back maybe last page. But why go and remove Summoner in the process? The class was already translated since it was in closed beta so there was no more work to be done on it.

What do you mean SAM positionnals, I'm not seeing any change? Edit: I guess they changed Gekko and Kasha mechanics, but they were already positionals? Like they've always been positionals ever since the class was added, they just switched it from adding more Kenki to having more potency(same...

One thing that was in the press build that's not really indicated anywhere on the tooltips is that Enhanced Flare stacks. In the press tour, it stacked up to 2. Also Umbra Hearts do affect Flare in the press tour. Like with 3 stacks you can cast Flare and still have 3600mp free and 2 umbral...
