[Maguspk]

Got to level 6.85 last night. Going to try to hit 10 today and maybe farther.

I usually go into the first server listed, forgot it's name.

My character's name is Maguspk, add me or whatever, post you names too so we can add eachother.

Oh I see I need a pre-order code to play the 4th with the abyss and I guess for the one this weekend? Would explain why I can't access it anymore.

1.5 Patch Notes are out!

This is what we'll be launching with in September, lot of cool stuff ahead; I can't wait! ^^

2. Some weapons have had their critical rate adjusted.
- 1 handed swords and daggers have had their critical rate values lowered. 2 handed swords, poleaxes, staves and bows have had their critical rates increased.

This might completely change things for Gladiator. Right now if you have the stigma stone for dual wielding with a gladiator, Dagger/Main Hand and Sword/Mace/Off Hand is better DPS on regular mobs than a Spear or 2h Sword. Purely because of the high crit rate on daggers, and if you stack crit manastones it makes it much better. Quite possible this will change things.

[Indalecia]

Goddamnit...

Ok so, when I first started XI, i wanted to play blm. Then I met this awesome chick in the dunes named Teia who introduced me to smn. I was instantly sold.

Same thing just happened, sorta.

I fully intended to go back to Indy's roots and nuke shit...until i played SM. It's unbelievably fun.

So launch time, Indalecia the Summoner(spiritmaster) will be making a return.

I didnt know until today, but there's a difference in the keys, like some people were getting just beta keys online, and then what I got, a preorder key. Some beta keys are event specific and wont work for other events, kinda ghetto. Besides the EU auth server going down, apparently ncsoft deactivated a bunch of keys: early beta and preorder, on accident. My friend and I preordered on the same day, but he wasn't able to log back in after logging out on thursday night.

People have been emailing NCsoft help if you fall in the preorder/cancelled key category, and some got replies saying their acct is fixed, and were able to log back in. My friend didnt get a reply yet though.

btw, anyone elyos on the siel server needing the Source of the Pollution boss killed? I tried, used 2 of the meds to remove the shield as fighting, and then I died D:
My char name is Fritzzz if anyone wants to add~

Ranger - Wind Scamper: Your movement speed is increased by 18% for 1 minute.
Hunter's Resolve: Your next 2 attack skills within 10 seconds will score a critical hit, however your long range firing distance will be reduced by 5m.

Rangers can finally stop crying about not having a movement buff (Vitality of Wind doesn't cut it), though Hunter's Resolve will make RNG Much more dangerous imo.

Sorc is getting a Sleepga Stigma, and an AoE Stun.


SM is getting its bread and butter skills lowered in cost: Orbs, Dispel, and Disenchantment Burst.

Not sure how I feel about SM's stigmas: Summon Whirlwind Strength looks decent (Spirit of Wind with an extra orb?) Magic Counter-current's usefulness depends on the cast time/recast imo, but the real problem is having only 8 stigma slots ; ;



Chanter's getting some love:

Vigorous Recovery: You recover your HP by 2262.

Blessing of Protection: Maximum HP, elemental defenses and physical defense is increased for 30 minutes.

Chant of Invincibility: Aura that increases your and party members' maximum MP, physical attack power, physical defense and magic boost.

Instant heal is definitely a buff, one of Chanter's main problems in PvP (imo) has been that its only cure is low hp and 2s cast. Hopefully Vigorous Recovery is on a low enough CD to be useful.

There a Siel Asmodian guild I can get into? Atleast for the beta..

You can get the meds back by talking to the Archmagius guy, or whatever his name was.

oh cool.

[Devia]

I rolled a new Elyos character on Azariel, Devia this time. Can anyone hook me up with a legion? Or are you guys all playing the beta ...

Few questions for those a bit more experienced:

Is there a way to change the middle-click camera rotation to a left-click rotation? I hate how I have to use my mouse wheel's click to look around while I'm running.

The 'Broker' place, pretty much the Auction House. I tried searching for stuff but it always returns no results, however I am able to find the items by scrolling through 55 pages of shit. Is it broken or am I missing something pretty obvious because I tried for awhile and couldn't get it to work.

As far as chatting goes, is there a way to talk to a larger area than a shout? There is almost no chat going on when I play and it gets sort of boring. I see in the options for chat regions that "Local Channel" is an option however when I try to use it, it tells me that I'm not in a channel.

1. Hold Shift-Right Click and move mouse.

2. Spelling counts, including capitals. For example: "angelica" will yield no results, while "Angelica" will.

3. Region chat= /1 Trade= /2 LFG= /3. There's also Legion Chat (Shift 2 when entering text, or /le) and group chats (Group, Allegiance, ect.)

Send me a PM when ur online and ill grab you an invite to my legion I am in if u like.. well if im around when i get the PM

[Groovebox]

I got a Chanter to lvl 12... really enjoying it. The story is actually somewhat interesting and the in-depth character creation is great. I can't speak for everyone, but I must say that the game runs absolutely amazing on my rig with all settings maxed :D Looks like I'll keep my pre-order.

Only thing I'm hoping for is that people actually form groups and do shit when the game goes retail.

[Kerberoz]

Yeah, I'm loving it so far. Rolled an asmo ranger, but got kinda tired of it, so I rolled an elyos spiritmaster. It's so strange being able to play a pet job that isn't horrendously underpowered. It's a night and day difference from FFXI. Everything's just... better.

[Akiyama]

Wish I could join in on the beta with my new PC D:
