No troubles, bubbles. I usually only email companies as a last resort. Sometimes I don't even think they read the email.

Maybe I missed it someplace, but what is 'Sphere?'

Does anyone have recommended settings for nVidia cards for the game? I'm currently using a GTX 460 card. What 3D settings should I be using to get best quality? (Performance won't be an issue..quad core 3.2ghz 4gb ram, etc..)

As for registry I have currently set 1920x1080 res with 1920x1080 bg res..mip mapping on bump mapping off (for the windower lighting..should i just enable this and not use windower lighting?) everything else set to "Smooth"

Anyone know why the on screen dmg/miss text is so far off to the side?
If i recall i read once that it had to do with the widescreen layout i Downloaded.
Under setting it is set to to 16:9 Aspect with Res @ 1920*1080

Since Last Resort is now 180 sec instead of 30, I tried to manually change the status.xml under the resource folder so my statustimer shows the correct timer. However, after changing it to 180 sec in the xml file, my statustimer in game still shows 30 sec. Is there a way to force update the status resource? Thank you.

Was going to come back to the game after a year break or so. Looking at installing it, I'm wondering how much space I need for a full installation? Don't really want to wipe my windows partition if I don't need to.

In plugins/statusdata.txt, add:

Last Resort,<LR ID Number, should be in the xml file>,180

Is anyone still updating FFXIstyle? or something like it? I like the new font over my head, but I hate the menu and buff icons.

If fought directly from behind, will Dhrome Khimaira/Apademak only use Plague Swipe?

[arus2001]

So anyone else "Downloading Data..." for five minutes before POL-3001'ing back to the login screen after trying to zone into Port Bastok?

I must have set off the PUP Fun Detector or something. I was going to Whitegate to get the new Automaton Attachments and now I can't login on my main char.

Also getting this issue on my main and a mule.

How should my BLM merits look? Just got it to 75. lightning/ice Potency for group 1? Also what about group 2?

No

Friend of mine just came back to the game with a fairly fresh-ish account and WAR90. Since I've never bothered looking at WAR gear before, is there anything aside from AF3 I should be having him pick up for TP/WS? Any "standard" sets I can build with him? I have to burn him through CoP sometime soon for his Rajas, and he has 0 sky gear but we can run through some of that if it's worth doing. MDT, PDT, and all that jazz is easy enough. Using Raging Rush for now but I'm trying to get him to start an Ukko's GA, we'll figure out later if we're going to Emp or WoE it.

Thanks

[Avarice]

No

Damn. Saw a group take Dhorme down from behind with a group of 6, and it only ever attempted Plague Swipe, so I got hopeful. Oh well.

Your highest spells are Fire and Ice, so group 1 is obvious until Thunder V becomes available. Group 2 is up to you... unlock them all and max out whatever you like best or go 5/5 on 2.
