I leave my pc on 24/7 and am always online. I do not like to repeatedly login. I miss out on messages and stuff from friends. Miss out on invites etc... Maybe if I whine enough like the other people did to get it put it on then maybe they might take it away again.

So apparently being in the markets menu prevents being auto-logged? Cool.

Fanboys that's my complaint if I say anything negative I get shot down, I said games quite Grindy, I'm only 39 on one job and I'm already having to grind out a level or half a level on a 2nd or 3rd job it's going to be so much worse and people bitch and tell me it's fun(no its not)

It's super ultra grindy. It's really a terrible leveling experience, which is a shame because the game looks good, is kinda fun mechanics wise (when there isn't 3 second latency for no reason), and could be a decent game if quests reset for new jobs, or if other methods of EXP'ing came even close to fates. >.>

Mmmm, up to 65 people on my blist, all of them spammers. Yeahbaby!

edit: got up to 70 five seconds after this post when I went to Uldah...

I agree with the exp grinding. Is there a decent way to level without quests or fates. some later dungeons give nice exp but people rarely do them for leveling up. dunno enhancing exp of mobs in dungeons and primal fights to a % of your current exp needed to level up would go a long way to also solve problems later on when everyone went through story for newcomers

My complaint is that, until 41 at least, every fight on WHM is Aero + Thunder + StoneIIx10, with the occasional Fluid Aura to interrupt. Every single fight. It's so boring. Why aren't there other spells like Silence or Paralyze? Give me something other than 3 1 1 1 1 1 4 1 1 1 1...

Also this:

Can't blacklist people while in a cutscene.

**Hyan** · 2013-09-14 10:45

They better get down to banning the botters and fast or this game will lose its appeal instantly.

**Insanecyclone** · 2013-09-14 10:49

Just wish there were more tank and dd variants. I know they're coming but I feel bored already with the current classes/jobs. Hell this is more or less how base XI started till Zilart expansion anyways.

dont know atm i am haveing alot of fun during boss fights even as a whm. way more involving then ffxi when you have to avoid stuff constantly via positioning.
what I am missing is that the cross class stuff is very limited

. missing the flexibility of FFXI subjobs which did add way more to a basic job (not all sj were best but alot had a purpose or niche)

This is pretty much why I avoid the OF at all times. So many XI fanboys it's impossible to have a legit complaint without some dumbass using an extremely moronic line of thought (which gets him praise) or the typical "Go back to WoW" retard.

Also duty fiinder for the main story. This is why I wish the story was solo.

5th 90k in 6hours, 3 of which in dungeon, 2 of which in the last 20% HP of a final boss' hp. Already reset modem, router and whatnot (not that anything else dc's here in this household), so... awesome servers SE!

edit:
Something for a random fail thread: apparently a setting for dc'ing me after 60mins was set in my router, don't know why it didn't kick me off yesterday then, but I am guessing that was the problem today.

"Join a party already in progress". It's nice but why drop be in an instance that has already been completed?

**BaneTheBrawler** · 2013-09-14 16:57

English voice acting is terrible. No emotion at all. Some characters more than others. Minfilia is pretty bad. Old head priest is fucking awful, sounds like they just grabbed some intern in the office who "does a good scottish voice" except after a few sentences he starts doing this nasal old grandpa voice and its fucking hilarious. I can't watch cutscenes in English, now. Makes me laugh during serious moments and get embarrassed (for the actors) when I'm trying to celebrate victory. German actors are slightly better, but not much. Japanese is like watching anime, complete with "tsk" grunts and whimpering women. French actors are the best, but still not great.

Seriously, go to your book and watch the "Eyes on Me" cutscene (in English). Pretty sure that's the one. Old man is fucking hilarious. Changes accents like three times. You can change the language in system config/other: Cutscene Audio dropdown menu.

**Karbuncle** · 2013-09-14 16:59

I guess all good things must come to end. I know its Saturday during Prime time but getting "Unable to update..." Errors. Bleh, I'd be happy with a queue but I can't rightly expect otherwise. Beginning to slightly hate the auto-disconnect cause I can't be logged in while Im at work and i get off right around prime time so im basically fucked all weekend

Yah, I noticed theres like, 0 Emotion to any of them. You can tell by the chat box what emotion they're suppose to be portraying but all i here is monotone.

This thread makes me so mad at SE. My complaint , hire a fucking playerbase PR rep. Someone who sets in on discussions concerning game development and literally takes the majority of the forum post and throws it into the developers face and has the authority to call them out when they don't produce. They've been 100% better, but still absolutely short of what a 2013 MMO community should have. Beyond servers and broken fates and chat failures, this is their biggest most disappointing and IMO, most game breaking failure. Fix this SE and 75% of your troubles will vanish. Serious.

**amentis** · 2013-09-14 20:31

There's so much little, stupid shit in this game that just infuriates me, like insta kills moves (doom) just one shotting pets, the wind blowing your cloak the correct way in Corthas but not rendering footsteps, not being able to queue multiple jobs for dungeons at once, dungeon abandon debuff not counting down unless you're on the job you abandoned on, zones not being able to handle the number of people doing fates at the same time...

Like the game is just good enough that I don't just fucking throw my computer out of the window in disgust? But it's really riding the line.

When someone takes the exit at the end the leader gets a prompt to replace whoever left, apparently some people select yes.

**Corrderio** · 2013-09-14 20:44

Mobs being attacked outside of the FATE radius and you can't do shit about it when you're synced.

EDIT: The grind to 50. FATEs are so friggin boring.
