I put my 45 in. Even if it doesn't reach it's goal I put my support in!

FFXIV 1.0 did this and it was laughable. Just a ton of random people sitting around where you had to spend hours browsing in the hopes you find something you want.

This. You're actually doing yourself a disservice unlocking the dungeons if you use roulette regularly. You could just do AK or WP + the 40 myth bonus. Even shitty groups can usually handle those 2 dungeons, the others can be a toss up.

It is doable, pretty much nothing in Coil can't be done with ilvl70 gear and relics. The phase most people are stuck on actually has a simple solution.

Yea they broke up the files into 1.5gb chunks, so if you crash/disconnect before it finishes a chunk its bye bye progress.

It's not even about grouping up in the instances. People just don't want to have to disband and reinvite lol. You also get some sort of buff now if you fail a battle multiple times...

Uninstall p3 client, install the new p4 patcher. http://forum.square-enix.com/ARR-Tes...lient-Download

Was that on Torv?

Ninja is a modern concept? There a National Association for the Advancement of Ninja People?

I think you guys are making the AI thing overly complex. Just need to remember they're wanting to attract the lowest common denominator, and soccer mom Jane isn't going to want to run around using 50 different CC abilities. It'll probably be kept to something fairly simple.

Just have a garbled translation but it looks like Crystal Tower wont be in till November, and Bahamuts Lair is apparently an 8 man "raid". Pretty anti-climatic.

8 man groups are generally reserved for high level primals/dungeon content....I'm sure there will be more. They've also stated they want to bring in a few special 4 man encounters but weren't very specific about it other than a vague dungeon reference. The relic quests won't be raid content...

CT and Labyrinth are new I don't know what he's talking about. There will be 5 primals, the end game 50 dungeons, lvl50 fates (I dont really count this though..), King Mog fight, Hamlets, Grand Company quest line/rank ups, Choco/Pokemon evolving, Relic weapon quests, AF and it's +1 upgrades...

Most are buffs, with some smattering of basic attacks put in. For all intents and purposes you will probably only use the buffs. I'm not even sure why they bothered with most of the attack skills they give you from other jobs. And yeah they take from animations of the job you're on, not the...

The 9th is wishful thinking, they haven't even released the p4 client yet.

I think Burger King gonna sue somebody.

Oh god GW2 dungeon flashbacks.

In 1.0 you had to level both.

It's a good point since no base class has branched off into two separate jobs except this one, but my guess is you'll be able to put 30 points into each separately.

What exactly is the point of PvP if there's nothing substantial to fight over? Not that I think they'd actually do it, the sheep pay for the game to keep running.

Just going by their track record, PvP has always been on the back burner. Iirc it was a long time before EQ2 even had a pvp server. Fun as hell, but I doubt there will be any real PvP to give a shit about on release (I don't count that BG crap as PvP).

I like how you guys think PvP is going to be any sort of focus with this game.

The guy that created storybricks, Psychochild, I recognize from trying to revive M59...has he done anything besides that?

I can tolerate f2p as long as there is a subscription model that unlocks whatever bits and pieces you'd have to pay separately to unlock anyway. If it's just constant soul sucking to stay relevant ill pass.

Good article for new people coming into the game and wondering what to expect, but there's nothing in there new from some inside contact or whatever.

No real mining of pet skills yet and I'm guessing the bulk of the jobs functionality comes from that, because them skills is turrible.

It'd be nice but honestly I'm expecting a f2p mess from EQ Next. Hope I'm proven wrong.

I don't think anyone was forcing themselves to play EQ just because it was unique for its time. If it was terrible people would have just stopped playing entirely.

The hate mods on skills for both War/Mrd and Pal/Glad are so huge that you can literally just sit there and spam your hate combo all day and never lose hate. Iiirc when we tested it, it was x3 for skull sunder/savage blade(?), and x5 for butcher's block/rage of halone (and seems to scale by...

24 man raids aren't going to be for duty finder they've already stated that. Might be confused over how they define the term "raid". In 1.0 they referred to the 8 man content as raids, even though everyone else referred to them as dungeons. I don't really understand why people care about...

If you are actively leveling you will burn through levs in in a very short time. I think they realize they need something more to level with. I can't see dailies being something endgame only or a faction grind. There are huge gaps in leveling right now with nothing to fill it aside from...

A good portion of the NA playerbase in 1.0 were just god awful, but that's a given considering the game was shit for so long that most of the skilled players left a long time ago. Those of us that stuck with it generally only logged in when a new patch hit, farmed it till we got whatever we...

Duty finder is split up by data center anyway, so very low chance of you getting someone that's japanese on a NA server.

The low-midgame content is a snooze fest, we've done all the 15-35 dungeons available several times with ghetto group make ups (LNC LNC THM THM, LNC ARC THM PUG). No tanks with thaums healing with Cure. You don't specifically need the tank or healing specialists for that stuff. Their "revamp"...

FFXIApp is horribly broken right now and not reliable. DoT aren't recorded in the log per tick (a game problem not an App one), and often App completely skips abilities you use and doesn't record them. Bards will do about half the damage of any other dps class worth their salt. Monks are...

There's two entire areas that aren't in the game yet, presumably for the higher level stuff.

Combat will never be as fast as WoW just because they have to tune around the gamepad. Doesn't matter how they make the UI the mouse/keyboard will always be more responsive. Also iirc 10 skill/spell speed = .01 off the gcd at 50.

Going off jobs, Warrior is much more involved than Paladin at 50. Paladin is mostly pop your buffs when applicable and spam your 1 enmity rotation combo.

They're real content jews. Don't expect anything in-depth content wise till phase 4/launch. Even phase 3 will just be the starter areas/dungeons again, this time with Limsa and Uldah.

Well when I speak of RMT, I really mean transactions between players in game and not cash shops. FFXIV 1.0 tried to implement numerous designs into their game to stop RMT like activities and it blew up in their face. No one really likes big brother breathing down their necks while trying to...
