FFXIV Random Speculation/Question thread IV: I got beta inv but my 5 year old PC can't run it

[Loaar]

Equip was never 'sync'ed to begin with, they gave full stats. At least every piece of gear I equiped did.

Equipping a level 23 weapon on my level 12 PUG most certainly didn't. The weapon has 80ish attack and 197 accuracy, but with it equipped I only had 48 attack and 130ish accuracy.

[Jojimbo]

Sell it quickly? Most of the people don't read anything on the frontpage, let a lone update notes lol

[Lucavi]

What am I going to do with my level 32 chainmail?

Give it to me. I'll drool over the fact that I could actually stand to take a few hits if I was wearing it.

[Zubis]

As long as it's not already fixed I'm happy. Then I'll be able to level into my weapon.. otherwise this might turn out bad.

[Cayos]

You can't trade or sell anything that has any durability damage, so I'm stuck with it unless I can find someone with high level blacksmithing and some Iron Chains.

[Biggie]

Nice, I knew that was a bug.... Lol but wish I wouldn't have spent all my gil on them level 26 knuckles. Now i'm a broke lalafell using level 1 weapons again. haha

And LOL at all the people that insisted it was intended.

If complex = so tedious that RMT won't want to do it since they can't devise a bot for it, then yes, SE seems to be making these VERY complex.

Most ridiculous statement about RMT today.

T'was a joke, son. RMT have no limits; they are the true relentless scourge.

I think so. People have been leaving feedback/complaining about the controls for months now. They might already be working on that, or maybe they are saving it for later. All we really need is hardware cursor and a decent mouse look.

If you are looking for hints I think Tanaka said they want to make menus have more mouse interaction. Maybe that will tie into the controls as well.

i am confident they will show off some kind of workaround and the controls will still be retarded just a bit more responsive.

if they get a decent mouse control i ll pre-order the game right away. i ve been holding back so far they made it easy.

I was losing stats on some of mine, but I guess bygones are things that have gone by now. A bridge under water as they say...

[plue]

What are the controls like right now?

I was assuming they'd just take FFXI's controls and use them for XIV. With all their talk of making it an easy transition for XI players into the new game (IE same races). I loved XI's control system, and wish to god that you don't have to use a mouse for XIV.

Sorry if this is generally known already and has been discussed, couldn't find any useful info anywhere, just whining.

Can anybody confirm or debunk that mining gets easier/faster when you've skilled up? I saw someone mention it in a feedback thread, but the rest of it was so retarded I wasn't about to get my hopes up until taking it here.

He mentioned he'd noticed mining points had different difficulties, and that he noticed the process was easier/faster on the easier veins when he reached level 10.

Anybody experienced anything similar after leveling up mining or logging?

[Cayos]

I noticed that it was very hard to mine Grade 2, and Impossible to mine Grade 3 points at level 8. Any hit would take off a ton of the vein's stamina, making it pretty much impossible to mine consistently.

Nice, I didn't notice a grading system when I was messing about with logging/harvesting, but I kept getting errors and crashes so I gave it up pretty fast.

They are like FFXI, I personally love the controls... Only problem I have is camera movement is IJKL, but looks like they are moving them to the arrow keys. I have never been a fan of using the mouse besides in FPS. I really don't care for the movement right now, kind of slugish IMO. But all in all, I think they are great.

[Meko]

Still no talk of mouse use being an option I assume? I just really think they are being stubborn if they don't add it.

[Purrrfect]

You can use the mouse currently.

[Meko]

Let me rephrase. By use mouse I mean, are you able to use it for camera control, movement, clicking on objects/items/spawn points etc?

Don't think that bit was posted earlier.

everything related with gathering crashes the game. Let's hope they fix it soon
