FFXIV Random Speculation/Question thread II: Let's Speculate the Speculations

[Ghostsix.Midgard]

Sorry if it's been asked/if you've already posted, but what specs you running that on? Seen a few vids but yours seem to be smoothest, doesn't seem to die in crowded areas like the others.

Am I missing a particular codec? I have sound, but no picture.

Mine works, but I have some all-in-one codecs. Try playing them in VLC: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/

I have seen several videos that have leaked and almost no one seems to have read the instructions that came with the beta:

"Enemy Toughness

An enemy's degree of difficulty is represented by the color of the circle located in the extreme left portion of the unit frame. This display takes into account whether the player is solo or a member of a party.

Red – Incredibly Tough
Orange – Very Tough
Yellow – Tough
Green – Decent Challenge
Blue – Easy Prey"

If you look at the nametag of the targeted Dodo that Nike DeLorean wants to attack it has a small orange (almost red) icon to the left of it.

Do not attack those without a tank and a healer!!!

[Spira]

it gets quite annoying cos sometimes the mobs dont have the color tag next to them...

[Rocl]

Also trying to solo T doesn't really work either btw (and sometimes the icon doesn't load)

[Spira]

T's arent so bad.. but it might be a class specific thing.

Conjurers have the benefit of healing so you can extend your survivability by quite a bit.

Puks are kinda scary for mages since they seem to hit hard. Their back flip thing hits pretty hard..
Roselings seem to be resistant to magic or something.. can't really tell but it does less damage to their overall health than most other mobs.

and this may be a pointless thing to say.. but the cure flower effect is sooo pretty

Why has no one taken a picture/video of cure? Is what I want to know.

[Skeptic]

I guess giving EVERYONE around you buffs/cures when they're not even in your PT was a bug, lol.

[Jinko]

Huh where are all the screens :D

thanks for the vids Ghostsix.

You mean PC, NPCs are not controlled characters.

for the kids:

PC = Player Character
NPC = Non Player Character

Nice to see Banish actually does some decent damage now.

as they should... but only to size and not composition. so unless you have some heals and someone who doesn't take 100+ hits you are going down vs that dodo ...

Indeed it should, but it didn't in FF11, so at least thats a step in the right direction.

I think if they had a 3rd member (a tank) they would have been ok, the reason its such a good thing though is it allows a solo aspect to the game, ie level up a bit and come back when its green or blue.

Hopefully this scales through the whole game up to level cap. (which i'm sure it will)

[Uubu]

i have a rank 10 marauder but no plate mail, ill try to find it for next time but i was able to equip some level 10 white pants (slops? or something)

on another note! almost killed a giant crab duo last night XD
