[Black]

the buffs like raging strike etc doesnt seem to give hate atm or its me?lol

[Robbinthehood]

"[dev1099] A record of all previously visited gathering points is now saved for each Disciple of the Land class."

Anyone figure out how this works yet?

[jwang]

I find it ok for single target... AoE hate is a fucking mess.

They need to buff the hate on GLA skills from what I'm seeing.

I feel the same, War Drum is just plain worthless unless people understand how to focus fire. Yeah...
What I want is something like in XI where if I Holy Circled everyone, I'm automatically on the hate list, then I pop Sentinel and Rampart and Warcry and everything's glued to me. Instead we got this running around shenanigans where ARC's still massive damage output just pulls hate like a beast. That's not even getting into how worthless the defensive shield abilities feel in party settings, both as enmity generation tools and defensive ability.

On a related note, Sentinel SP is now getting the shaft cuz no SP from quests and leves and behests. So, bust out those grinding gear kiddies, if you want that Deflection, it's time to get your grind on! At least the higher level mobs at the encampments seem somewhat decent for duo/light party grinds.

No. Fucking. Clue.

I have tried a number of things and have never seen anything to suggest that anything is being recorded in any way.

Oh yeah, I had a sneaking suspicion that it's just something that adds up to an achievement on the Lodestone history of your character... I really hope not. I really want every gathering point you've gathered from on your current class to be a dot on the map.

I prefer the idea that anything that you could jot down and record on a map you should be able to mark in-game without limitations. I yearn for all my RPGs to have a DS Zelda-style map drawing capability.


edit: I just noticed that my Peregrine Helm shows up on my achievements as purple... and the only purple one I have seen out of over 300 achievements now.

Rhapsody in White
Miya Kai (Palamecia) has given Ronan Kognan several deaspected crystals in exchange for a peregrine helm.

Any idea why this would be relevant? It's not in my Journal as a quest of any sort.

[Cayos]

Not sure where to put this, so here is me beating the lvl 25 raid, boss included.

[Redflame]

hmm.




The rest are here:

I'm pretty sure the emblem on the airship is that of the Garlond Ironworks. $100 says it's called "Highwind."

Oh man, do I see a GUNSPEAR?

The dungeon/battle music situation there is really well done (almost megaman catchyness status)... as is the intro scene/title.

[Arximiro]

On Toto-Rak are there multiple bosses that can complete the dungeon? We did it last night and got to a diremite boss rather quickly and then we were done. Much of the dungeon was still unexplored.

[Blasta]

Neat vid. Has there been any updates on the movement? It felt so clumsy last time I played, idk I just hate it in every imaginable way.

[Robbinthehood]

Ya I wish XIV had a simple map marking feature that XI had. I tried hunting down the method to this new feature but everywhere I go I get nothing. Obviously SE won't give the answer, who am I to ask how a new feature in their game works. Because it's so new and seemingly no one knows how to use it, the other fan sites have nothing on it yet either.

How did you get through it so quickly? O_o My team of 4 rank 25s took almost the full hour dungeon crawling practically the entire map just to get 8 photovoltaic cells to allow us through 2 gated doors to the boss.

[Pooke]

Pair up with 50s

[miokomioko]

It looks like a 50 probably couldn't solo the boss huh...

Also, that fucking glitch where the longer the game is open, the more inaccurate your ability/action/spell recasts become is still there. It makes the game unplayable without fully exiting and restarting the game before any non-trash battle.

I just had that happen to me as well as my Auto-Attack just stopped. I had to just use Light Strike and get hit repeatedly to get TP to finish a mob off. Absolutely retarded.

[fussel]

19000 SP on lvl 30 storyline quest... Glad that I didn't do that pre-patch.

[xopher]

Spoiler: show

New Cid looks like a cross between Cid Highwind and Tidus.

[dorkkaos]

This is a stupid question but.... how do you join a grand company? Is there a prerequisite?

[fussel]

This is a stupid question

qft. See page 1.

[Fiddle Sticks]

r46 main mission.... 46k SP..... So pissed that I already did them.....

[miokomioko]

This is a stupid question but.... how do you join a grand company? Is there a prerequisite?

• Walk up to a Market Wards entrance in any city.

• Choose "Hall of Flames," "Maelstrom Command" or "Adder's Nest."

• Speak to the person behind the desk on the right.

• Complete the quest and return for a reward.

• Talking to them again will complete another quest and sign you up as a recruit, earning you 250 company seals.

• Talk to the person on the left and have them explain the seals to complete yet another quest.

• Talk to the person on the right again to start choosing missions that will eventually earn you more seals for that company.

• Rinse.

• Repeat.

r46 main mission.... 46k SP..... So pissed that I already did them.....

No kidding. I had just done the last 3 of those main missions in the last week or two. I'd probably be a full free rank higher if I waited. I demand retro-active reparations!

[dorkkaos]

Thanks very much!
