I only bother setting macros for my ARC and CON. When ranking up lower jobs I just switch to them and use whatever gear and bar skills are remaining. That's how bad the current system is. Problem now is a lot of my ARC gear is required rank 50 so I find myself equipping all kinds of shit just so I'm not naked. Crafter gear, gatherer gear, whatever I can find in my inventory. I keep hold of the Eternal Shade so all my DoWs can use that until 50.

I love to have that. I haven't bothered trying to set my equipment/ability macros back up after my crash in July.

ffxivcalc.lafil.ch is nice for setting skill/trait macros...

*shameless self ad!*

Not posting it, but a JP rep said they plan to have server transfer options in the future. Sucks it's about a year off ><

[Niiro]

For reals, game shoulda had that at launch based on the direction they took witu the armory system.

I feel for you guys that use macros to switch classes. I have a third party app that sets gear, abilities, and traits for me >.>. Best part was getting all my macros back to use!

I must know of this magical device of wonders.

Looks like I can solo Toto-Rak next patch with the help of my alt to gain entry. Can't be arsed to paste the dev post but Toto-Rak will be changed to 2-4 members and Dzemeal 4-8.

That's good, but not great news. I was hoping they would abolish it entirely. Let people farm the first couple of chests that they can even get to if they really felt like it. I wonder if it's a slow transition with eventual removal of the requirement so it doesn't get immediately flooded with solo runs.

[Sephiroth]

I don't think soloing Dzemael would be much fun lol. Those lights would take forever to go off. And you'd have to kill everything since you'd not be able to keep yourself alive long enough to get the lights. 4-8 works well, it means a group of any size can go in. Got 12 people? Do two groups of 6 instead of making people sit out. Got to be good players to complete it with 6 or less however.

Anything about difficulty changes?

Looking forward to this Patch 1.19 video. Should be badass.

What video?

[Corrderio]

Look in the other comments from the devs. Made a post there that Yoshida said he intends to release a video on 1.19.

[Toth]

Gotcha.

that day will be the day I stop even entertaining the possibility of returning. existing characters should be treated like the beta testers they are. assuming they ever get this game up to the point they go ahead with PS3 launch, letting existing characters transfer to any fresh servers they create will just condemn them all to the same assfucked economies.

[Corrderio]

Well I don't know about you, but I'd like to be on a server where I can actually fight Batraal instead of being "that guy that stands on the rage circle full time"

This will be one of the most crucial issues they will have to address, sooner or later.
Whenever the argument came out in here, I read all kind of opinions and stances on it and, honestly, it's a very delicate situation.

If you want to fight it that much, why don't you go and level archer or a mage? That just might make you stop whining.

He's got LNC and PUG, both of which can do it np. Hell, he could tank batman if he wanted to.

This arc/mage or gtfo is for people who can't play worth a poop.

Soo, next week we'll probably get a letter stating the patch date or the "we still need to balance ifrit battle, mid-october at the earliest sry"-statement.

Still there's a lot of patch notes to cover. Chocobos, dungeons, combat-related stuff, ifrit, caravan escort, campaign rank thingies...

He said the patch notes will be four times longer than 1.18 I believe.
