The General Discussion Thread

All fishing games are boring imo o.o even in real life, but at least in real life you can enjoy the scenery and a conversation with someone if someone is there. Or just the peace and quiet.

The FFXIV forums are amusing. So much hate. But fair hate at least. And even funnier the fanboys who defend the company.

lol The cutscene before Garuda is so glitched. My toon appeared to be a giant standing in the middle of it the whole time blocking out a bunch of stuff.

EDIT: What my dude looks like now! (He really likes showing off his legs lol)

I WANT THAT LANCE! Been running stone vigil all day to try and get it, but either it doesn't drop or I keep getting terrible tanks >.<

Why are there so many horrible PLD's? WAR's don't seem to have this problem.

I think the problem with Gladiators is that mana and GCD holds them back. Flash is very mana intensive, and WARs Overpower not only generates emnity, but also does damage, so I think it holds groups of mobs together better. GLD just need to learn to mark targets and DPS need to follow suit, and use that finisher that generates MP in order to Flash more.
 
Haven't been able to log on since Thursday onto my main on Gilgamesh. Tried for an hour Sunday.
 
I had to stay up until like 5am to finally log onto my server and stayed online allllll day yesterday playing. Finally have my lancer to 30 and all other battle classes to 15 and finally got up to the retainer (was very low on space, what the heck is the purpose of the armoire? :|) Also found a few bot groups to report. Taking up space and ya.

What are you storing? Gear? Crafting mats? I have so much space, only saving crafting mats and using the gear sets to save all my gear separately.

I sell NOTHING! :O

So ya, I had a buttload of gear and crafting mats/drops. I think the only thing I've ever sold are those pouch things that are only for selling. The rest I save cause, I dunno, pack rat. I still could turn a lot of my gear into materia, haven't yet cause I wanted to read more on it.

Armoire is to store holiday items and AF gear.

Figured after awhile, but I thought I coulda stored more than that during phase 3 of the beta (never tried for phase 4).

Man, there is a DRG in the class quest line that has a black colored version of the AF gear, and it looks sooooo good.

I don't think it's a class problem so much as it is an idiot problem. The extremely few, good tanks I have gotten, regardless of the job, understand how to play and have all the main cross skills. The good majority of the tanks I get you could ask, say, a MRD/WAR... "Hey pal, do you have Convalescence?" and they'd be like, "uh, wuts that?" and then you're like, "A level 10 GLD skill that increases healing done to you" and then they're all like, "lol sry bro i dun cur bout GLD class."

If you get someone with the right attitude, someone that treats cross skills as seriously as, say, the subjob system in FFXI, they tend to do just fine. Not so much because of the skills, so much as the mindset that it takes to get them to come to that conclusion about the skills.

I don't know where people get all these awful tank experiences. If anything, any bad tanks I have usually fix themselves up once you let them know what they're doing wrong, or even just apologize. I'm a pretty tolerant healer, though.

Shit, the worst players (with the worst attitude) I've encountered so far have been BLMs, of all people.

These were taken on my first try running the last story dungeon. We were on the second-to-last boss of the dungeon, and had forty minutes left (anyone whose finished it knows why that's not as big a deal as he's making it out to be). Dude was such an awful person to run with, I really hope he never got his win.

If the WAR has Flash he's already better than, like, 80% of the WARs out there, and chances are if he's got Flash he's going to make that little extra push for Convalescence. I personally don't notice Convalescence when I'm on WHM because I'm already The Best Healer. Divine Seal, Shroud of Saints, I do it all.

Just hit 50, and I'm figuring before I do Hard mode primals I'm gonna buckle down and get ACN and THM to 30. Wanderer's Palace is fun, though. Did it the Normal Way, and while it's nice I can see why people prefer sac pulling to bosses. Just need to grab Swiftcast for that.

That is hilarious. I always love it when someone freaks out in caps, it just makes me laugh.

Grats for finishing the story. Without spoilers, how did you enjoy it? I just looked up the relic reborn quest for our relic weapons and it looks like we have to primal grind on hard mode, which I'm all for.

My 32 Monk just hit Haukke's Manor before maintenance came down tonight. I'm really enjoying how engaging the class can be and have been using feint and keen fury from Lancer. However, I just realized there is another DoT skill "fracture" from marauder at level 6 that I'm going to go ahead and get tomorrow.

Like Strid has said, your sub classes are vital to flourshing in end game. Leveling LNC to 22 for invigorate and 34 for blood for blood is on my soon-to-do list. Same with Marauder, although I'm not looking to leveling that as much. Level 8 will suffice until I'm monk 50.

Same thing can be said of the Smn quest. I want that black Smn robe... I want all of it!

It was just a basic example to get a point across, nothing more.
 
And now I am getting completely different errors. Hyperion seems so messed up, I can log on 3 different servers, just not Hyperion.
 
I keep reading about it during my break, that is, a lot of people getting 3102 errors. What are those from? People logging on the first time? Be REAL funny if it was all the people who afk'd while the servers were going down for maintenance and didn't properly log out and so they can't get back on cause something derped up :P would almost be like karma.

From what I have seen, the people who are getting the 3102 error (myself included) is anyone who was logged out in an inn. So basically I am getting screwed for doing the right thing and logging out so others could play instead of staying logged in and AFKing lol
