Beta 3 impressions and general discussion

[Lucavi]

Its possible. It goes down further with Fists of Wind, I believe, so yeah, entirely possible.

I thought Wind only increased movement speed...?

[Churchill]

That's what it says.

[Evane]

It's just in your head Lucavi!

[Shiyo]

Fist of wind is move speed, yes.

[xopher]

I don't read the OF and I don't really feel like going back through this thread. Have they mentioned anything about keeping your hotbar layout and armoury board/gear sets serverside so when you log into different PCs you don't have to set shit back up every fucking time

[Lucavi]

Naw, its more. I wish I had a screenshot, but it says movement speed and weaponskill recast reduction. I thought it was just wind punches and movement speed, so I was pretty stoked to see another affect, and a good one at that. I'm sure of it, and I'll grab a screenshot this week for ya. It says it on the actual buff icon, not in the description of the move on the tooltip.

I'M NOT CRAZY! YOU'RE ALL CRAZY!!!

[Sigmakan]

Think they still have outdated tooltips for the Fo_ buffs. They all say they consume MP when they most certainly do not.

[Lucavi]

That might be it, because on the tooltip it also says weaponskill speed reduction.

[Raldo]

That's reassuring. I haven't touched MNK/PGL at all this phase, so I thought movement speed only, while nice in towns, was a rather lackluster effect to have in battle.

This is what mine says:
Increases movement speed.
Cannot be used with Fists of Earth or Fists of Fire,
and shares recast timer with both.
Effect ends upon reuse.

[Kaope]

If you check the fists of earth, it says something like converting attacks into earth elementals and some extra physical damage or something. But yea, it just doesn't consume any MP.

Is that your icon up top when you turn it on or is it the icon in your hotbar or abilities menu? The description I'm giving is the actual status effect description up top; the same type that says that someone's organs are failing when we hit them with disembowel, lol.

Thats the skill tool tip I believe. The actual buff tool tip says something different.

[Churchill]

I would assume the others are the old ones then, first thing I did was check to see if FoW was anything more than an I suck at dodging button.

[Lucavi]

Yeah, the skill tool tip is pretty freaking underwhelming, which was why I was so intrigued to see an additional and USEFUL effect once I actually activated the ability.

Hopefully they add a way edit the scrolling combat log to show only YOUR numbers/misses/dodges/etc(unless that's already in..).

You should be able to edit chat filters to show that.

[Spider-Dan]

Shouldn't take too long for someone to get 4 crafts 30+ actually, already seen a few people get to 30+ craft this weekend
Example player on a new server
http://na.beta.finalfantasyxiv.com/l...acter/1834195/

Shouldn't take some people that zerg more then 3 weeks maybe? To have the resources, gil and get a good amount of crafts up.
Probably a month or 2 for multi 50 crafts if thats what they work on.

Maybe if the abilities you need are all on GSM/BSM/ARM, it might work. But if CUL, ALC, or LTW are needed, you're going to be bottlenecked on mats.

[ArchDizzle]

You should be able to edit chat filters to show that.

You can it's in the chat config.

[Shiyo]

You can it's in the chat config.

Chat config works for SCROLLING COMBAT LOG? Not the combat log BOX, I'm talking about the numbers that appear next to mobs.
