Beta 3 impressions and general discussion

People will always complain / bitch about things. Actually like the fact that I can go through these dungeons without talking to people and just leave and never see them again. My first duty finder party involved our tank calling me a cheater and refusing to tank with me in the party. Because he didn't understand the concept that legacy can cross server with non legacy in duty finder.

Good god. Way to ruin that guys Immersion.

If I see you driving a Ferrari when I'm on vacation that's cool but if I ain't the only guy in my neighbourhood with one there'll be trouble.

Epic.

I think you have your metaphor backwards, or I'm somehow misinterpreting your position in it.

If Legacy = Ferrari, then doesn't your server = your neighborhood? If you're Legacy, aren't you then on a Legacy Server with a bunch of OTHER Legacy (Ferrari) players, and so, unsatisfied? Wouldn't the Dungeon Finder with people from other servers (neighborhoods) be like your Vacation? Aren't you then LESS likely to run into other Legacy players since most servers are non-Legacy? So the condition under which you are OK with seeing other Ferraris is less likely to see them, while the condition under which you don't want to see them is very common, isn't that a bad thing (for you)?

[Churchill]

wow

[Skai]

Wasn't Sage Sundi doing interviews for FFXIV 1.0 near the start and all that? What happened to that guy?

[miokomioko]

Oh shit yeah, everyone was bummed that Sundi tagged along with Tanaka when they first started the tiny amount of PR for 1.0. Did he go back to XI?

I don't really care one way or the other about Legacy status, but perhaps this infographic might help you understand the (admittedly confusing due to "ain't" usage) metaphor:

Check it out, some of those non-legacy folks' camels don't even have all four feet! Those poor suckers.

The hell would most bling Ferrari be doing on the starter tracks? Shit's going to be racing on Rainbow Road, not Donut Plains, so until non-Legacy get to the higher tracks, they won't be seeing many bling Ferrari to complain about.

[shidobu]

really.. whats going on in this thread lol.

Legit lost my shit at work reading that. Thanks.

Ferrari or not, you know we're going to be spending the first X hours sorting all of our junk from 1.0 and retooling the interface as soon as we get out of the first instance anyway.

I won't.
I already got my UI and everything how I want it during p3 (and screenshotted it for reference... it'll be quick) and I'll be leveling ACN at the expense of everything until I lock SCH at the very least.

Then I'll start doing all of that.

In this case, Ferraris need to run a few restrictor plate laps on Donut Plains and Koopa Beach to unlock all their high-performance parts for use on Rainbow Road.

Well, they'll need to go buy new, certified parts, but they won't need to re-qualify, for the new Rainbow Road track. They already meet the tracks entrance requirements, based on the previous league circuit rules.

I wouldn't be so sure about that.
