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

[el_tio]

Yeah, I'm totally going to be a marauder.

[Lunarhawk]

I'm planning on going Marauder first as well unless musketeer is in at launch (in which case that's what I'll be). My friend who's a marauder though says their accuracy is complete shit. Like 1 in 3 or 4 attacks hit. Which kind of hurts their self heal (blood bath) since it's a buff on the next attack so if it misses... though maybe it carries over to the next attack that actually hits idk.

If they are sending every attribute increase to the server each time (which would then be affected by latency) then that is a horrible system. It would be much simpler to let you increase all your stats and then at the end send the batch to the server when you close the window.

It's how WoW does it for their talent point system. There's a bit of a delay for every point you click to a talent. It's not so bad when your servers are primed up and ready to go.

Though your batch idea is something to take note of.

WoW had an option for doing batch talent point assignments that came Sometime around WotLK launch.

just wanted to thank you to ghost, really appreciate these vids. going above and beyond

[Trocian]

You only have to wait for the initial bar to fill before being able to use a skill again. Anything past that raises damage further. So you'd be able to shoot arrows every 3~ seconds, which isn't very slow, imo.

Currently, battle is very slow. If you press 'attack' right when the bar is filled, it still takes 3-4s seconds before the attack goes off. I'm guessing it's a mix of lolAlpha and latency, even the mobs attack ridiculously slow. If the attack would execute right away, I can see it becoming tons of fun.

[SephYuyX]

Ugh, the delay between spending each point is absolutely terrible.

Pooky's vid showed spending points much faster, just a bad example.

?

Are you talking about the dual spec option?

?

No he means there is an option (I think you have to enable it; been too long since I last played) for you to assign all your talent points and THEN lock them in rather than have them locked in as you assign each one. It lets you add/remove talent points and play with combinations. Kind of like the talent calculator from the wow site built into the game.

Ah, I see.

That most recent video is amazing, must have have watched it 5x already lol. Just makes you think how great the battles in the future will be, say after you get 8/9/10k tp (if you do). Storing all that tp and unloading all sorts of mad skills. Granted it's prolly not the most efficient way of fighting but GD it just shows how in depth this game is going to be . Kinda makes me wonder more about the Battle Regimens and if they will be mostly tp based or what. w/e the case, I'm definitely looking forward to release a lot more after watching that.

[roippi]

I have to add to the chorus: thanks a ton for your videos, Ghostsix. That last one really shows the potential of this game, even though you're killing bats in a cave..

[SilverBreeze]

It's so much smoother this time around, keep them coming Ghostsix PLEASE. After getting owned by that bat in the other video, you completely demolished the last bat in this one in revenge, I was actually cheering irl lol.

[Kensaki]

Anyone else having an issue with megaupload where it just slows down till it almost stop at around the 70 meg mark?

[Kirb]

Great videos, Ghost.

Also I lol'd at earth crystals stacking to 999.

[Kensaki]

Any chance of getting it from another source? Cause me and megaupload are not friendss today it seems. =P

[tkonpk]

Very nice videos. Incredibly smooth on the last one and that is really making me enjoy the new system.
