More "grass was greener because I was younger when I saw it" rhetoric. As if rocking White/grey leather, blue/white/brown bone harnesses and gold/blue chainmail in XI in early levels was the pinnacle of "non-meh" gear itemization.
Edit: Oh, you're talking stats? I suppose we should go back to the days when Dragoon fucking AF had CHARISMA on it.
Yes. Lets do that in the interest of satisfying your lust for what was.
Servers are slowly coming back up.
can't even get the launcher to give me the login section
edit: i guess you just have to complain about it then it works
I have to disagree. I believe I understand your point, but the idea that each piece of equipment should have beneficial stats for your class is not a bad thing. What may make the difference is crafted gear and what WILL make the changes is the materia. The materia is what is going to make each piece stand out for you.
As far as that website, these are .dat mined stats from ARR? Interesting that it's been done already.
This is what I thought as well. INT on THF AF Head for Steal success?
So much impatience for a beta launch lol. You should expect this kind of stuff in EVERY MMO on a launch-style day like this.
-Why are low level items relevant when he's specifically talking about endgame armor? Did you not bother to go to the site he referred?
-Why are you bringing up FFXI at all? He's not implying he wants to go back to FFXI stats, he's implying he wants FFXIV 1.0 stats back. Go look those up and tell him why he's dumb if you disagree, but please spare us the tangent to rant about how terrible you thought FFXI was: nobody is asking for FFXI. Did you even read his posts?
Hell I don't even agree with his complaint but jfc, the monologues are getting pretty old
Is anyone in right now? Servers look ok but I get some type of web error when I submit my log in credentials.
At work now but I was amused at how large my highland f was in relation to everybody else. (I picked the largest, dem tittays)
Disappointed by the hairstyles though. There's one that was for males in 1.0 that looks pretty good but I can't bring myself to use it.
I might dick around on a lalafell f because they are so goddamn cute. The bust size slider is barely noticeable lol.
I was a little overwhelmed at the UI and options and at how many quests I was just picking up in the first 30 minutes. When I get home tonight I'll probably get better acclimated.
Abilities aren't willy-nilly cross class.
CNJ/WHM can use the Thunder line of spells from THM. And any class can use Swiftcast/Surecast (instant/no interrupt) everything else is strictly THM/BLM.
Some traits enhance abilities that must be quested. Looks like "Scathe" and "Manaward" for THM
Part of this is just guessing but didn't previous armor pieces have some randomness when it came to the additional stats from dungeons?
And I would imagine materia plays a big part in improving armor.
As for if the artifact armor impresses or not, I get the feeling that it would be used as a vanity/costume/whateverwe'recallingit set... >.>
Randomness is okay to a point on low level armor, but some of the stats we saw from 1.0 (Enmity, Magic Evasion, etc.) I am guessing will come from materia now. I can't say for sure though. Also, are the weapons/armors still considered "placeholders" for the launch? I know they were saying for a while even during Phase 2 that the equipment in game is still subject to change and some are just there so that we are able to test.
so anyone else having a problem with na servers? i got kicked off twice in a row almost immediately after logging back in and now it seems i can't even get an na server list, yet all the jp ones are still listed
and now back to not being able to log in
