Actually, I'm from cb, but didn't stick around when 1.0 released. Maybe 3 weeks at best. Still had ties with FFXI. But damn, I wanna pay 9.99 lol.

I'm finding it extremely hard to give a shit about Alex savage.

There isn't even the allure of interesting story reveals or new mobs and new fights like there was with coil.

It's just..........is this it?

2 years and this is it?

Its very hard to stomach.

Alexander is incredibly meh. Nothing at all exciting. Oppressor looks like something a 5 year old would draw, A2 is trash mobs the big spiders are the coolest mob in Alexander though and that's not saying much, jiggly butt is almost cool but come on we had Phoenix in the same place last raid, and the final boss is just pathetic. (Twin,Nael,Bahamut,Huge machine you can't really see)

When I found out A4S is just the same fight with more DPS and more FU, every last hope for a huge twist was squished.

Gear is ugly as sin. Hopefully 3.1 brings something exciting or I'm going to main Fisher.

I'm legacy but actually pay more than $9.99 anyway. My account is EU but I emigrated to the US. I end up paying like $11-12 depending on conversion rates at the time it processes.

Legacy accounts pay 9.99

and even less when you pay in 6 month blocks. it's like $49.99 right?

Reminds me of my situation...

My wife is American and emigrated to the UK. We can't use a legitimate address (our UK address) on her account because SE wont accept it. Likewise, my account is an NA account as well (beta invitation stupidity or something like that) and I can't use a legitimate address on my account either.

SE don't have the ability to change accounts region and I always wondered why not...

Yeah that's the reverse of me. Wife is american, I'm english and I moved to america. It lets me put in my american address on the account and use my american card, it just charges me in GBP still.

i assume you still havent beaten bismark ex?

i'm still there too, with my limited played time, i always prioritize my roulettes and tome capping, then i try to give like 90 mins before bed to try and clear bismark-ex.

i join these PF parties with like ilvl175+ ilvl req. and we still fail dps checks. i dont getttt ittttttt

No legacy doesn't get a 'less fee for more months'

[Raldo]

No legacy doesn't get a 'less fee for more months'

Yes they do

It's the same discount everyone else gets, $1 off per month if you pay for 90 days (3months for $27), $2 off per month if you pay 180 days (6months for $48). As someone who pays in 6mo. chunks, I'm paying $8/mo for this game.

[Ratatapa]

I guess, i didn't pay attention lol

[FHT]

My account is FR, I emigrated to UK. I am charged in Euros but pay in £ at the end and I can't use my english credit card or my account get locked. ODD.

[layoneil]

i don't pay enough attention to know the exact amount, but yea we definitely get a discount too.

Doing EX Roulette with three friends.
One of them was lagging a little bit through the entire run and basically couldn't enter the the final boss fight as every time they'd go to jump over the Ledge into the arena they'd just drop straight down and die the four or five times they tried to. It's not like three-manning the boss is a big deal, but it's just kind of ridiculous that he couldn't even manage to try and participate in the fight because of some lag.

I just noticed i170 gear, well most of it, is basically pallet swaps and uses the same designs but with some changes in geometry to make it look different..

Can't have homogenized jobs without homogenized gear. The new PVP gear is rather disappointing for the same reason vs. 2.X's rather diverse looking gear, but whatever's faster/cheaper to produce I guess.

Which is funny since Yoshi's big excuse back during beta was they got rid of waist display and scaled down models in order to make better designs and get items out faster. Not to mention they waste IDs on readding the SAME fucking gear three times in some cases (and thats just considering stuff I actually looked at).

You got the Soldiery Gear.
You got the crafted Soldiery Gear.
(The excuse here: "We need to release a crafted version in order to allow you to dye more than a section of the gear.")

Then there's this:


This is basically the same 3 sets of gear..not counting whatever dungeon drop may also be similar.

I mean, cool..do your thing but I thought the whole point what was stated back in beta was to avoid constant duplicates. I mean pretty much every MMO does it..even ones without "PSx limitations" but jeesh. As proven though, they don't have to put in effort as they know they can shovel off anything to the masses and they're perfectly ok with it, because you should "go back to (mmo), XIV is unique and the best MMO to exist in the past 10 years, this is 2015 get the fuck out with wanting them to actually put time into something."

Also notice how a lot of the better looking gear is almost always in content you throw away? The dungeon drops and (sometimes) the PvP stuff tends to almost always look better than most crafted/progression gear?

I mean shit..I wouldn't mind days of XI where I'd have to wear a boner hat or leather jerkin if the stats outweighed the looks..but sadly XIV its like looks outweigh the stats since sometimes best looking gear tend to be glamor gear or gear from lower dungeons you replace in 1-2 levels.
