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

[Ghostsix.Midgard]

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

Tried firefox and IE?

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.

you should have seen me cursing before I died there, I yelled at the screen like a 13 yr old lol.

Great vids Ghostsix, really showing how visually impressive the game is.

[Spira]

nice clear video.
good insight into how Archer works atm..

gonna feedback to SE about the mob dying before animation goes off thing tho.

latency is horrid in Lower La Noscea but its so much better in the other areas.. best to go there when its possible.

[Kalani]

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

Yep, if even that far. I keep trying to download it, got stuck at 33.1MB this time. Megaupload 4tl.

[Chakra]

This was with about 30 mins left so the servers were getting faster and he was used to the combat system by now.

Do you think with every test it is going to continue to end up working out this way? Hard to grasp the combat system with all the latency issues that a lot of people in the EU and NA test seem to say dies down at the 3HR mark.

Raging Strike + Multishot + Multishot = Badass

Thanks for the vids man.

Thanks for the vids man.

i didnt plan on being an archer but after seeing this it seems really cool !

can you nock unlimited arrows ? does it mean you can one shot monsters that dont aggro ? that has to be an awesome cheat to kill monsters stronger than usual !

have you tried shooting from higher grounds is the range long enough ? can you can keep shooting while the monster runs around to get to you?

cant dl it either, allways get stuck after a few megs -.- any alternate dl available?

[CaledorImrik]

God I hope not, if you can keep nocking arrows, they'll either be way too powerful and get nerfs similar to RNG in XI, or they'll become one-shot wonders like MNKs used to be, spamming boost then getting into alliance and chi-blasting, then booted again.

[Jinko]

Nice video, deffinately shows you the potential of the battle system when its running well.

I'm not sure but I haven't seen more than 3 arrows fired at once.

So far (and we have no reason yet to think it will change) there are no alliances and a party in combat cannot drop or invite new members.

[Jinko]

I for one hope 15 is the max amount of people you can have in a group, it will be much more strategic than 64 (or whatever it was) in dynamis all spamming shit till either side dies or wondering if your still alive because the screen hasn't refreshed for 20 seconds.

[Hyan]

Even though 18 was the max amount of people in one group in XI, that didn't stop SE from making 64 player Dynamis.

I don't think this 15 player limit here is stopping them either if they wanted to do something like that.

However, looking at ToAU and WoTG I don't think they even want to.

[Purrrfect]

For some reason I got this feeling I read somewhere that stated you can nock up to 3 arrows, but I can't find it so I may be making shit up here. ;;

I think I've seen a video of that, but I know I've read that you could.

[Boom]

Sounded familiar to me as well. I think it was the description for Multi Shot somewhere also said that you needed at least 3 arrows nocked to use the skill.

[Seanr]

i'll check out these vids when i get home. i didnt get to test much last time. g/f came over around the time the test was going on

This

Mouse controls please, I know not everyone wants them and is happy with full keyboard control but many people out there will want mouse controls.

Option to increase speed of the cursor.
Right click to move character position.
Left click to move camera position.
Scroll to zoom in and out characters point of view.

And this

Full mouse controls is my biggest issue right now honestly. WASD is just too fucking slow in my opinion. Since there's no PVP as of now, i suppose i could live with WASD, but i'd rather have everything fully customizable to make use of my Naga.

Fuck keyboard turning. Its too slow and clumsy. Fuck FFXIs macro system too, give me keybinds.

[Kiba27]

Three arrows is the max you can knock for those who were wondering.
