FFXIV Random Praise Thread: Time to melee RDM

[samalis]

One of the smoothest launches of an MMO expansion I have played. Only had trouble in the first hour of launch. After that haven't run into a single problem playing/trying to get in.

[Gokulo]

Same, although as shown by the complaints thread it depends a lot on which shard you're on.

[samalis]

Yeah looks like balmung server center is the one getting shit on? I dunno. I am on primal - Leviathan. Nothing but smooth sailing.

[Korialstrasz]

Yep Leviathan has been great. Though it does have me a little worried of the state of the server if there aren't enough people around to crash it at least once even on an expansion launch.

[Nitsuki]

Despite the few server errors, and login issues last night (2 hours trying to login), once i'm in, i'm enjoying smooth play, dx11 is gorgeous, and i'm no longer a cat after 2 years. My au'ra is hot!

[Carth]

I was on Balmung, and I pretty much had no problems except for about 30 minutes' worth of being locked out. It was pretty much bad luck if you were getting an endless amount of 2002's.

I USED A LVL 3 BRD LIMIT! Omg, it's so cool! And it does damage! And looks badass! Ahahahahaha!

[Shuichi]

Just hit 50 DRK last night. The story for DRK was pretty damn good! And the 50 DRK quest had me yelling at my TV and clapping. Good times.

[Silenka]

Can't say enough good things about this expansion. Highlights have been dx11, flying around huge-ass zones, great story, and the music ahmigawd, especially Dravanian Forelands (dat horn) and (mid-story spoiler)

Spoiler: show

Ravana, freaking amazing primal theme! At least equal to Titan's, if not better!

The dungeons and trials have been fun as hell and the mechanics have been varied enough to keep it interesting and make me feel like I'm playing something new. And did I mention enough stuff drops in them to feel actually rewarded for doing them? Leveling from 50 to 60 takes a while but doesn't feel grueling. Really, aside from login troubles here and there, I don't have a single criticism about the content/story.

Thing that made me squee so far story-wise was (mid-story spoiler)

Spoiler: show

that Ravana/Shiva primal battle, holy crapcakes was that fun to watch. I saw it coming and went "ohhhh shiiiit" :D

[Vaspinne]

Praise be the Dravanian Foreland's music. When it has that moment when the intensity of the song picks up, it's seriously more exciting than most of the combat music in the game lol

[Neon_Sea]

Awesome launch awesome expansion A++ would 3.0 again

qft, best expansion launch I've ever experienced. Occasional hickup here or there but that is to be expected.

[Ratatapa]

Exept aether that keeps dying

[Shenrien]

Look that's your fault for going to an RP server.

[Shenrien]

Story end fight -

Fighting against Knights of the Round and having nearly identical things happen from the summon from 7 was fucking awesome, Ex. mode please!

Doing these expert dungeons evokes the memories of doing AK when it was first released. Definitely challenging (for people coming straight out of MSQ anyway) and will miss it slightly when my gear outclasses the dungeon itself.

Yeah, felt the same 3 wipes on final boss in the allagan dungeon

[samalis]

The vault is possibly the best dungeon so far, fucking amazing. Can't wait to see the rest of them.

[Ratatapa]

Library is fun and DAT music, problem is they take long time with dungeon gear lol

[SamanosukeShiva]

Couple praises:
1. SE got flying so right, great concept, great execution, maps design around flying. No complaint here.
2. Looks like they listened to all the bitching about dungeon/raid bosses not having VAs, they put a lot VAs in the dungeons, hopefully this trend continues going in Alex.
