I guess that's just a weird designed item comparison. Anyway I compared a green weapon and a pink weapon from Hatali(the lvl 20 ones) and the green had like 2-3damage more, which is a pretty big difference(25 to 28 iirc). Other stats were identical. It might not be as apparent on armor because...

The tank carbuncle is way way too tanky, it's completely unnecessary too, I was using the caster one most of the time because of the higher damage and never had a single issue. No other classes have a tanking pet and they do just fine, ACN gets a slow and a healer so not sure why they'd give...

It's more than that though? People in shout were saying it's until 3PM GMT, which is in 3hours or so. I just logged off cause I'm pretty much done, cleared my inventory, repaired my shit, setup my bind, finished weaver/botanist/alchemy so nothing more to do until launch. Looking forward to it...

Some screens from one of the new zones before I died to a sneaky mage attack. Music is insanely good there too. Side note, Pikachu can tank 5-6 hits of a lvl 47mob before dying.

I wouldn't say the first 10 are the most important, but they're the ones you can work on improving the most so that's what you should focus on. Sometimes you'll get unbearable shit lanes for multiple reasons especially in pubs(shitty support single pulling and autoattacking/nuking the wave or...

Quick synthesis is awful and unless you need low level materials shit for a higher recipe, you shouldn't be using it. Like say for one of the lvl 18 cotton armor recipe you need a hemp cloth thingie and I didn't have any so I used quick synth to make it faster(it wasn't much faster though since...

Spreadsheet is slightly innacurate. Specifically, it's missing the 0:30 wave, so everything is off one wave. At 10mins on the ingame clock, there has been 82creeps spawn(60melees, 20ranged and 2 catapults at 3mins and 6:30) and a new wave with a catapult spawns with 5more creeps. So 82 is what...

Oh damn I was cleaning up my inventory, getting ready for release. My first retainer is full and none of that shit is sorted too much of a hassle, I'll just wait for the sorting options. I do hope they take the servers back up, I didn't see any ingame warning about that shit and I need to move...

Well let's say, it's a decent mmo to play a couple weeks/months. It might be good on the long term assuming content generation is quick but that shit never happens so wouldn't hold my breath. Things to understand: - This isn't a new step for the mmo world, this isn't an evolution, this isn't...

They said they're working on fixing it, but if they didn't they either a) don't want to force a maintenance when beta is already almost over b) haven't found how to fix it yet. Anyway, finished alchemy to 20, and managed to HQ the lvl 20 arcanist book right before(so no wasted xp). I kinda...

Well I guess I'm part of the lucky people, haven't had an issue all weekend. Got ACN/CNJ to 20, THM to 12, Botanist to 18, Alchemist to 18, gonna finish both of these before the down and Weaver to 10, probably gonna get to 15 before the down I have like a billion of cotton balls. Haven't used my...

You're not killing Furion solo as a support unless it's very early game, and even then it's not guaranteed, if he has his ult up he'll fuck you up. If you bring more people, you should have the damage to kill him. He's more likely to escape a solo gank with shadow blade than he is by...

DPS while healing is like, you can cast one/two spell on pull, then you need to heal the tank some then once there's only one mob up, or two depending on the mob type, you can go back to DPSing. But when there's 3 mobs on the tank, or these big fuckers in the mines, you really can't afford to...

Putting a reliance on his mana would be an interesting nerf. Currently Furion only has mana issues very early game, and only when he's spamming treants(which he can do with very little regen to begin with, which I don't think is very good design, Enigma or Lycan have huge mana issues and...

Hmm the pet does what's listed, 3secs recast 90potency is a 75potency "normal" cast of 2.5recast, or you can count it as a 90potency dot. Regardless, it does solid damage, not counting the special attacks which have too long cds to really matter. I pointed out before that I tested it and as far...

Ok after actually testing a bit more, FFXIVAPP KINDA parses dots. DoT information isn't actually displayed(at all, from my understanding), so it uses formulas and assume the dot runs its course and uses the damage formula with your current potency(which might be pulled from the initial hit) to...

While soloing it's hard to waste potency on dots as I explained, since you can just pull another mob and let the dots run their courses. You can definitely use more than 2 dots as an ACN, in fact you should. On the nukes, you do 80 with Ruin and 75 with Gust, that's 155potency nukes, which is...

Hmm my ACN definitely kills a lot faster than CNJ does. Sure Stone does more damage per hit but the pet+ruin is about the same DPS as Stone as far as I can tell, and the dots are quite a lot stronger. I could see it not being good in terms of raw DPS in dungeons and such though, the only aoe is...

There's an option to turn off spells, you sure it wasn't on by mistake?

It's the usual 15$, less if you buy a bunch of months at once, but there's also an option to pay 13$ a month with a limit of 1character per server and 8chars total(instead of 8 per server and 40 total), which is pretty cool if you don't give a fuck about alts.

Expansion where you fight Death > Underworld/Death Realm > Meet Cain again! Maybe even bring him back because lore consistency is overrated anyway, most likely he becomes an angel instead. It was all an elaborate setup for the expansion storyline.

Arcanist is way OP at soloing FATEs, there was the group FATE in Drybones with the linked cows that spawned so I go there and I'm alone cause it's 7AM, but I start anyway, figure I kill one cow, it gives me xp when the event fails due to time limit. Tank Carbuncle+healing+DPS no problem, then...

Also from Reddit, UI stuff that's not obvious at all. In UI edit mode(ESC then HUD Layout or something), right click a window to hide it(can't hide everything sadly), Ctrl+Home to cycle through the scaling, it's 80% 100% 120% only, but you can make some stuff bigger this way(minimap, group etc)...

Btw some pet mechanics from quick tests about the concerns for endgame, it would seem that the pets simply copy the stats from the player to determine their own stats on summon. What this means is first that you should resummon your pet everytime you upgrade your weapon. Changing zones might...

Definitely wrong, Hunting logs are class specific, if you change class, you get a different one(some mobs will be the same, some not, but more importantly it's all reset).

Actually you need to do enough damage to get credit, while if you tag first I believe you always get credit(but not entirely sure on that). When there's billions of people trying to kill FATE mobs, it's frequent to not get credit for most of them if you're not a melee(instant cast spells don't...

They have queues too, I guess they block the creation of chars until the queues go down and the other servers have decent load. The queues aren't very big it seems, but I did have a 10persons queue when I relogged in earlier.

Damn the change they made to leveling sub classes and shit is massive, reading the patch notes I expected a 15-20% bonus to xp but it's actually 50%. Meaning you get 50% bonus xp on everything you kill on any class that is lower level than your highest, makes low level leveling so quick even if...

So for some reason Arcanists get a heal now at lvl 4. Still nothing else for healing before 22(get rez), so not sure what to make of it. The heal seems to be the exact copy of Cure too, direct heal, same cast time and I believe same potency after the buffs(400).

If you're in central europe, remember it's summer daylight saving time bullshit nonsense, so it's actually GMT+2 atm. So 11AM.

Why would they be up 10-15mins before they're supposed to be up. If anything they'll be late. Also you can see server status in the launcher, see that red pinkish circle thing? When it turns yellow some servers are up, and when it turns green all servers are up.

During P3 the queues on the JP servers while the US servers were down weren't too bad(and that was JP prime time), so don't know maybe their servers can handle load decently with the zones and shit. Guess we'll see tomorrow how it goes, playing on some euro servers with friends though so might...

Job isn't a class, it's Job/Mainclass(so archer), subclass(CNJ I believe it used to be but think they're changing that) and one more(which I have no idea what it is but let's say pugilist). So yeah it's not just main+sub, there's one more everytime, the exact combos will be datamined and posted...

Teikoku means empire I believe so sounds more like something to do with the Garland Empire stuff, those magitek badasses. Could be music made in advance or could be for like the lvl 50 story quest or some shit, guess we'll see.

You can only pull abilities from 2 other classes, one is the sub needed to level the job, other is arbitrary, full list will be up when the P4 is running since atm they're a bit outdated. Still good for leveling lower level stuff though and potentially good even up to 40ish since job abilities...

Since they got letters about NDA breaking and shit for the benchmark datamining, I guess they'll wait until the servers are up to post the datamined info from the new client. Also the guy said he was double checking to see if they changed values adresses or whatever the fuck, in case they were...

Preorder code website isn't up yet, it'll be up on the 20th. For now there's nothing to do, other than trying to figure which account to apply it to for when the website goes up. You'll get a mail or whatever, probably will be posted here then too.

I think they said they're making a new system to handle all that shit together in one nifty place instead of the mess it currently is, not sure when though. I still have to figure out which of my square enix account is the right one to apply my preorder code to it but have to wait until tomorrow...

As far as I know, there's only one major event that fails a large number of side quests. There's a few others that fail on specific events but mostly it's that one big event you want to be careful of, and they actually tell you something about how you need to make sure you're ready. Story...

You get all 6, finish the game then you can do a special post game dungeon and when you finish that, it unlocks their true power which is scaling damage based on the amount of mobs you killed, at least from what I read. They end up the best weapons in the game(at least for characters you've been...
