I'm planning on hardcore gathering/crafting as soon as I log in. Thus, my monetary needs are going to be minimal. I think I have a few K I can give you from Rezz Darkraven when I log in. Never used the mail service, but I assume I can send Gil, yeah?

Fungi Tunic, clearly. Work out/drink/get into fights. Fungi tunic back to full health in no time. A wizard has turned you into a whale. Is this awesome?

I feel you on the class situation. One of the reasons why I'm not planning on rushing anything and really focusing more heavily on gathering/crafting. The other reason being that I wouldn't have time to rush anyway hah.

Theoretically Error 3 is just a server load issue (now that they have the EU/NA code separation) so it could be you just need to keep trying for a bit. Or their servers took a shit again! Even though they have localized servers, the access is apparently still moderated mostly by the Japanese.

AA: Since you were able to cancel the pre-order, wouldn't you just be able to grab it again with the proper geographic location and solve the problem?

Admittedly for me, the patcher has been lightning quick during each phase of beta I've been in thus far. I'm more worried about running into serious queues when logging into Gilg than having issues with the patcher hah.

Anecdotal is anecdotal, but mine worked just fine first attempt this morning. Granted, the site was still slow as balls, but I guess that is just something we'll have to put up with. Like rerolled.org and random database error pages!

And that will most likely be the case with 8man groups and raiding in general. I just don't think it is going to be a binary "oh no Paladin tank, can't kill this raid boss!" vs "oh a Warrior MT, can't kill this raid boss!" type situation. Nin/War vs. Pal/War vs. whatever the fuck the RM...

1.3m lost in first quarter of 2013, putting them at 8.3m at the time. I think, but I'm not 100% positive, the number is closer to 7.7m worldwide.

Just illustrating that the tanks aren't nearly as interchangeable as axeman seemed to think in WoW, which leads me to it being the same case with FFXIV since the classes are very similar to the Pal/DK stuff from WoW. Neither was inferior on a global level, but they definitely have their...

Like not saying you are completely wrong, axeman, but I've actually raid tanked with Warrior/DK/Paladin, and you are flat out wrong. They play substantially different and have different healing needs required comparatively. This isn't even coming close to druids that had boatloads of HP/AC but...

Yeah, I'm definitely not seeing how it isn't almost the exact same situation. EQ was broken because of Defensive and CH for years, not because of any tanking style differences. It was one broken ability mixed with another broken ability. DK vs. Pal is borderline a carbon copy of the situation...

1: Phantasy Star 4 2: Edit: Definitely not Crystallis 3: Looks like Stinger! Don't know the others and three is probably wrong.

This lack of communication is pretty much par for the course for basically all asian games, oddly enough. I can't really remember one that would have an issue and keep the community up to date throughout the resolution. It's usually "oh shit, servers down for a full day, time to post a canned...

The new time differential is effectively maxing faction grinds/achievement unlocks such as titles/mounts/whatever. Effectively the same as camping in that you spend a considerable amount of time for a minor/if any increase to differentiate yourself. Or, as was the case in EQ, you camp things...

Deeeeng, Oh My God I hate that game. The best quote -ever- in regards to EQ.

Classes and levels just strike chords with people. Skill point based systems are tremendously less impressive when compared, thanks to the idea that advancement is just a number instead of a progression of unlocked abilities. Unless skill point systems also unlock abilities, in which case you...

To be the devil's advocate: You shouldn't be looking at games and going "well it's only 22.50, that's ok!" or anything even sort of close. That is being a sheep and a terrible consumer that promotes terribad company policies and actions. Not picking on anyone specifically, but that really is...

Been down apparently for over an hour, but if you were logged in it wasn't really affecting you. The uptime is suppsed to be 30 minutes after midnight, pst.

And server down =/ Was a good run though.

Odd, as I am still in on Gilg and mining til my heart's content. Bet there's an 8gig DL waiting for me when I log off though~

Maintains the same amount of impact, tho =p Pre-velious Iksar SK/Warrior are terrible thanks to horrible itemization. The only reason to roll one is RP value or hoping for eventual expansion. And Rangers were pretty decent pre-luclin, once they got 60 and a decent/primal bow. The AAs just...

Same reason as anyone rolling an iksar SK/Warrior pre-Velious

Note to self: since it doesn't kick you, don't ever log out. Ever.

Being serious, if he is using it 10x in a group, they aren't killing shit nearly fast enough. Like their DPS is completely afk type of issue. Seriously, I hold aggro off entire fate groups just spamming the same ability and they have little to no chance to pull anything off me. It isn't...

If it is a marauder, he simply isn't using the basic "cone" attack like he should. Hell, it -adds- hate just by using it. Focusing mobs down is so 2001

It is an exaggeration, like most claims when people heal/dps in groups. Tanks see things a bit more clearly, imo. At least, the good ones do.

Hahaha holy shit, some of these quests and lines in them. "As cold as a dead whore's crotch." Limsa is quickly becoming my favorite starting zone in any game ever.

Have you registered for the email notification deal on square's site? I wasn't in the previous betas with the account I am attaching my pre-order key to, but I signed up for the email deal. I followed the link from here to the beta forums and it let me download the file from the forums...

if you skip literally everything for having done it all/dislike storylines, then you can level fast. Otherwise, it does take awhile to read all the shit and move forward.

Hitting max level doesn't mean a whole lot, as you have to group/raid/whatever to get gear once you hit max. And there's a dozen other classes to play so you can use their abilities in your build, as well as crafting/gathering being entirely different animals. 2 days to max "played" means just...

http://preorder.na.finalfantasyxiv.com/us My email is attached to my account, so it may be because of that. Not sure, only that this account wasn't in P3 beta and I didn't get any notifications about P4, and I definitely logged into create a character around noon pst today. I clicked a...

So a heads up. My account wasn't flagged for any beta whatosever, but I put in the email notification for my pre-order night before last. It let me download and register for the beta, then also let me start playing. So! For the people without beta accounts but they have pre-orders, odds are...

Got to make a char on Gilg, managed to get my name saved and now it is time to head to work~

They cut what they felt was the chaff, and expanded upon the remaining to give them more relevance. Streamlined towards their goal, but not towards the original EQ's pantheon that we remember. Still say F'em for taking out my desk's god, but simplifying isn't really what they did.

Level 38, Temple of Cazic Thule in the Feerrot. Having multiple level 50 mages camping the Crusaders because they were looking for gear for their twinks. SKs were not a great class to level during classic if you weren't a twink of some kind. Having to outpull/outtank/outdps players 12 levels...

Haw, fuck me running. Attached my pre-order to the wrong account, since my beta one was an account I hadn't used in almost a decade. Guess I won't be leveling gathering in p4 ><

For casters, yeah, the increase in non-weapon equipment is pretty minimal so far. More or less similar to other games. The melee/tank classes get the majority of equipment related increases due to generally getting hit much more often, while the ranged/casters classes tend to just benefit...

So you are Ok with a pet (non primary focus of class) that doesn't revolve around that ability being able to supplant a PC that is playing their ability to the max? Keep in mind, that I actually use wording to describe things I deem acceptable and unacceptable. I make no blanket statements...

Basically, we have no room for "group speak" in which they tend to combine topics and hope they avoid specifics. FOHers (and the allied forum folks) fucking -love- talking about the specifics. And generally speaking, we know what we are talking about. Kreugen, Pyros, Myself (omg self upvote)...
