Fuck having a 1hr duty PT wait but not being able to summon choco companion because it fucks up your party status.

Just came here to complain about the same thing. Running amdapor on my blm but switching to lv 47 drg to level up while I wait for a party and I ALWAYS forget that if you summon your choco companion you get removed from DF. I do it like 3 times a day because... it makes no sense!

So much this!! Those WAR/PLDs have no excuse in the world to not have updated dungeon gear considering when something drops they have no lotting competition. I generally run dungeons a few times for gear/exp and its not hard to get good gear if you just do them...

O, here's me lookin like a bb~~~

I'm on Ridill, but want to make a mule on Midgardsormr, my old FFXI server, so I can chat with FFXI friends who went there in this game. Before server upgrade, it was perma-full, so no new characters allowed. A few hours after server upgrade, I try again. Still full, WTF!

Did they double server capacity and it filled up again in like 5 hours, or did they not unlock it yet? Ridiculous either way.

Some people have been praising the main storyline, but I'm finding it quite poorly conceived and written. Most of the dialog makes the characters feel awkward/out of place, a thing that the voice acting only exaggerates (over-use of evil laughs for no reason, dozens of "confound!" et al.). The fairly emotionless music doesn't really help either (contrast it with XI's Recollection and its derivatives, for instance).

2 of my other friends got in gilgamesh around 1am est last night. I also know the feels about having gimp DF parties. How can you tank in lvl12 gear? HOW DID YOU PROGRESS THRU THE STORY???

The Echo... Echooo... Echooooooooo.

The same way I leveled all of my jobs to subjob level in XI: Starting RSE > Coffer RSE.

Same deal with XIV, at low levels (i'm only 30, so i'm not going to assume passed that point), it really doesn't matter. I've been wearing the starting gear just because I like to see TnA, and I haven't had an issue with any solo stuff. Then again im not tanking yet, but after finally getting some ok gear through dungeoning for spiritbonding, my fire now does an additional 10 dmg.. whoop.

I finally got in to Midgar. My mule there is Mystery Mithra, in honor of the XI .dat artiste:

Starting with Brayflox's (or Haukke maybe, don't remember) trash mobs start actually being threatening, so I can see doing everything before with shit gear and not having many problems.

Macros need to be 16 lines so I can do all the 40 durability things that take two progress synthesis actions with only one macro. Right now I'm gimping my quality gains an extra bit more because macros can only do up to 15 lines. I wish I could go for max quality on each one by choosing manually, but I'd simply lose my mind.

You can't stick multiple commands on one line in a macro using semicolons or something, can you?

[Bardicrune]

Could you make two macros with 8 commands each and then call them in order with a third? I haven't messed with the macro system yet.

Aren't you killing your quality by not being attentive to when good and excellent conditions are present?

[Deadgye]

Yeah, but that's the price I pay for speed and sanity. If I tried to be that attentive while crafting 50+ lumbers in a row I'd probably become so out of it that I'd end up breaking my synths.

I've done that. After going through 3 or 4 stacks of Cotton Bolls individually for quality EXP vs Quick Synthesis I ended up failing some just because I wasn't paying enough attention.

[Salodin]

I'm on dew thread, which is so expensive to make that I farm. And I spend so much time farming that I make sure I pay attention for full quality on each synth lol.

I'm going to try to skip that as much as possible. I think I have about 20 webs from questing on a few different jobs...

The worst thing about this game is that Alphinaud sounds like Stewie.
