FFXIV Closed Alpha/Beta Discussion (Cancelled for this week)

[Jinko]

After the first 3 leaves I got 1200 gil.
Took me 30min. I bet the harder you choose the leave, the more gil you'll get.

Did you notice if you could repeat the guildleves or not ?

[King Zuca]

could anyone please pm me the link to the pooky stream video? ive been looking everywhere for it. @_@

[Leon002]

Not sure. Heard you can do it once every 2h.

Someone should test if you can still do other peoples leves even if you can't do some on your own.

I think that's one of the things the devs said in an interview before... even if you run out of leves to do alone, you can still help other people with their leves and get some bonus for helping... What bonus though?

Probably a cut of exp/gil.

They said party members without the GL can help other party members that do have it, but they don't get any of the rewards at the end, only the members with the GL do.

I do remember them saying something about a bonus to the skill up rate of weapons if you help a guy with his leve, though. I could remember wrong, but I'm pretty sure they said something like this.

Need to test, need to test...

Also what about leves for 2+ people? Will you only get the reward if you have the leve, or is it enough that one person in the party has the leve?

[vrumpt]

well anyway, heres hoping the servers will be stable enough to allow more people time to test more things other than just killing mobs.

Can't say for sure, but SE's wording so far says the person w/o the GL will get nothing aside from normal exp/gil from the mobs killed.

I don't remember hearing anything about a skill up bonus.

One thing my friends noticed I somehow missed: in the leak of all the game commands there's one called "Open Widget", any idea what's the use of that one? Because you know it sounds as if it's closely related to plugins or something.

seems related to the UI, i think.
All the components of the overlay are movable, so perhaps you can add or remove widgets as you please.. and theres a command to open a widget?

[joxerthemighty]

yep sounds like only people in the party at the time the leve is "pulled" will get rewarded for completion.

so if your group disbands half way through you better have some good friends that can help you.

[Lunarhawk]

Didn't they say you could share leves with your party members though? Like if someone joined while you were heading to the place you could share the leve with them as long as you hadn't started it yet?

[Gokulo]

One thing I didn't like, which isn't something big and important I guess but yet I really don't like when games do that is that in equipment screen every race has the same image of human silhouette. I'd like each race to have their own pic. I hope some testers think so too and will post about that :D

[revoemag]

HP regenerates whenever your weapon is sheathed. So you should sheathe it between battles.

MP can be recovered at crystals, but other than that, you have to try to make it last. They're trying to prevent people from "camping" like in XI. Parties in XIV will usually be fighting from crystal to crystal, which should make it more active and more exciting.
Like someone mentioned, there are also abilities to restore mp, but I doubt you can rely on them to totally recover it each fight.

Mages also have a regular ranged attack that consumes NO mp, so they won't just be sat around while conserving MP or when they've run out.

Does TP reset after fights? Can it be stored between fights like in XI? Or does it deplete over time if you don't engage something?

I think someone said it depletes over time in passive mode, and fast in that.

[Kaslo]

That would make sense since atleast one class has an HP to TP ability. If you could use that and then Passive HP back it could be too powerful.

I have seen quite a few people bring this up so would expect it to be fixed, mostly likely just an Alpha placeholder.

[Purrrfect]

It depletes pretty fast in passive mode.
