    The message was the #1 link on the ffxiv subreddit.... On the front page of the gaming subreddit. Mentioned in this thread. Mentioned in FC chat numerous times throughout the day. Also, it is the exact same terminology they used for converting from a beta account to a EA account (add...

    If you're relying on ffxiv-app it's not anywhere close to remotely accurate in parsing arcanist damage... It'll show the first tick of damage from a dot and then discount the entire rest of the damage.

    Nope, works that way for a long while. Arcanist pretty OP tank/healer combo... The downside is we're absolutely the worst class for small hp trash adds and have no viable aoe really. edit: I feel sorry for the people having account issues, but I saw MANY warnings not to add a new service...

    Sorry, but we need a subforum for this game (just like we needed a sc2 forum when it first came out)... I just skipped over the last 10 pages of messages because this thread is moving too fast.

    You can have fun playing at your pace. And they can have fun poopsocking to have a 2% advantage over you. BUT, you might be envious of the 2% advantage they have, so you will feel compelled to play more. The more you play, the more friends in-game you will make and the less friends you will...

    Sorry, read the last 50 pages of the FF14 thread to prove yourself wrong since open beta started (ignore posts about registration issues which is not handled by the dev team) it's full of mmo gamers talking about how the game doesn't innovate at all, but is fun as hell to play and brings back...

    Chances are, next class implemented would be a musketeer (corsair job, which is a mostly ranged dps class, but more tanky than an archer), leading each city to have 3 starting classes.

    Pre order codes are the same for everyone, ps3/PC/ce or non...(I used ps3 pre order code for my account and used PC pre-order code on a ps3 account. Square enix doesn't have any way of currently distinguishing between accounts based on the pre-order codes. Retail codes as far as I know...

    I would have bought that one, but I was concerned about the unifying receiver not working with the PS3, which is why I got the Bluetooth, good to hear, I may pick up a trackball if ps3/PS4 support mice.

    Heh, ingenious tactic that worked well for SWTOR, charge for 6 months of subs, offer zero content, so that people essentially pay 120 for the "base game" then lure in casuals to try it when it goes free to play, all the while having your diehard fans purchase new items at the cash shop...I...

    I don't mind a subscription either. But I like having a social mmo experience, not multiplayer console combat. When you're paying for a DLC campaign worth of content every single month... And you don't get that... If the experience you're getting in the game is no different than the...

    Isn't most gear GLD / MAR / PAL / WAR (or disc of war for jewelery and the like)? I don't think you'd need separate gear until you're already max level tier anyways? And if you're max level, what else is there to do besides farm gear anyways...

    Because their billing systems were not in place. They likely had a small server internal to the square enix officers handling the access/account authentication for the beta that they knew would be unable to handle the load of live. And they've most likely moved their account server off to a...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Errr Not sure where you get "less than 10%" difference in health in wow... For example, in cata (the last time I played WoW), bears/dks were at 60k health normally while paladins were generally gearing for 45k or maybe even less or so in the same tier (I had 42k health compared to our main tank...

    Don't forget that DKs have also had superior cooldowns to counter the lack of block mechanic for the entirety of their existance, which HAS led to issues in several fights (IE: Designed the fights to require cooldowns at specific intervals that DKs could solo tank but would require 2...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Don't want to shit up the wow thread with ffxiv stuff, but it does feel a lot like how wow vanilla felt. Both in the sense of exploring a new world, but also just in the basic combat mechanics.

    Any kind of confirmation about the appearance item being able to change your race?

    I have HSV - 1...

    Errr, they closed off beta registration (transferring their billing/account servers from the closed beta system to whatever system they used in Open Beta/Live. Pre-order code registration doesn't even begin until tomorrow.

    translating from doubleplusgoodthink marketing spin... He didn't actually deny the point about the SDK performance drop, only that if it was true, that it'd probably be fixed soon, and someone likely just screwed up, and the overall trend is upward, it's simply one bad build.

    Yo, if we only develop half the game, we can get people to buy our DLC and make TWICE AS MUCH MONEY! it's win/win! Map actually doesn't seem that bad, but there are definitely lots of areas already being cut from a game still in development... I'm assuming because of budget restraints /...
