So , who is going to play 14?

Also make sure you have the craft that seem to be the most profitable maxed before the expansion. And find things newbs can't access and exploit it asap for $$$ (don't know the German money symbol).

I'm also going to (take a) dump (myself) on the Saronia server. Thx.

Sweet. So far my main class is a glad, but i've been leveling some other classes to add a nice variety of abilities to it. Other than glad, pug is one of my favorites. That class puts monks to shame in ffxi. Just to touch up on what I said before, crafting looks interesting, but I wouldn't jump into it right away for 2 reason; lack of efficient way to buy/sell goods, and the crafting mats fill up your inventory pretty fast and I find it a pain to sort/get rid of.

Remember our buddy Thunderblaze? Here he is showing how slow soloing is at higher levels. A.K.A. BST is still needed SE!

I'm not that high of a level yet so /shrug. But it's too early to say if that's how it really is. Maybe there's some alternative places/mobs to fight We'll find out in due time.

Funny, I chose Gladiator as starting class as well. Also, I have no idea about crafting. I'm a complete noob?

Anyway, this is the new Lutia:



Mog house? Change jobs? How to recover MP? How I craft for fish w/o being Disciple of the Hand? Wut?

The game runs pretty smooth on my comp at 1600x1024 with all details turned on highest possible options.

Although the targeting really sucks, just as everyone said. FFXI's F8 for /targetnpc doesn't seem to work anymore.

Ah, I assume you're using keyboard? I'm actually a ps2 controller user myself, but yeah it takes a bit getting used to without one, but I heard it was actually a step up from the beta hehe. Also, judging from the screenshot, it looks like we picked the same starting area which is convenient if you need tips where to go next. I thought the opening cutscene + battle was pretty slick. I'm actually impressed with the story/story battles I've seen so far.

It's over, TKO, Lutia is charmed. Stop with the pics, makes me want it. I hear they have real black avatars in it now. I'd probably be like the cool dudes and pick a black chick to stare at all day.

[Lutia]

I use a PS2 controller as well, makes things easier. I applied the FFXI setup, so I dont have to get used to it - it's just the same as 6 yeas before

Thinking of building a second comp for this game, because I can't watch TV when FFXIV runs - it just eats every last bit of system resource available.

[Lutia]

Although I don't really share opinions about FFXIV with anyone yet, I made these per-request for someone on bluegartr:

[dionious]

lol, classy

[Machdaddy]

lulz.

I'm liking the game, there are certain things that I find pants on head retarded, though. Like, say I want to craft myself some rank11 Leather Himantes. I need a leatherworking material that you can't make until like rank 29 <.> Reliance on mats from other crafts is a pain, as well, but I've managed to milk that very flaw for a decent amount of gil, by making certain leather mats that are required for tailoring and the creation of GS and BS weapons. Spending 15k to make 24 Taupe Sheep Leathers and selling them for 5k a piece is nice. Taking a Taupe Sheep Leather and making 12 Taupe Sheep Leather Straps and selling them for 2k each is even nicer.

I started as Pugilist, and it's been a fun class so far. Adding Bloodbath from MRD and Cure from Conj has made it a very efficient solo class. Grinding is slow-going, though. I'm almost rank 17, but I see some people are already rank 30 <.>

[Lutia]

Most hypocritical official video ever:

Even as a degraded casual player, I want to bash their faces all day for giving me this hypocritical shit. I didnt know if i should laugh or cry, so I did neither.

Now back to this game that feels like a hooker without tits. And legs.

[dionious]

lol. but yeah, I think you'd have to be playing pretty hardcore to reach the fatigue. Also it supposedly resets as you're playing other classes I hear.

[dionious]

Lutia what's your character's name?

[Ploid]

Omg I need a gif of that part where they start to say it's revolutionary and may get critical feedback because it's new with all the quotes popping up like "it sucks" "i don't understand" "Lame" and such. That was awesome hah.

[Lutia]

Lutia what's your character's name?

It's "Lutia Feen", check your social friend list, I sent a request like 10 minutes after I logged in for the first time <_>

[Mrdude]

Lutia feen? thats gay. Do you have to have a last name?

[Lutia]

Lutia feen? thats gay. Do you have to have a last name?

Yes.

My character name is from G-Darius, and it was always incomplete in FFXI, now it is complete.

I'm doing Mining & Blacksmithing a lot now, Miner is my first level 10 job <:

edit: Holy crap, FFXIV exposed, you must see the last part where he shows where they copy pasted landmarks and paths all over in different places. This is shocking http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ei0GxMOBztA
