FFXIV Random Speculation/Question thread IV: I got beta inv but my 5 year old PC can't run it

[Zubis]

For those in Alpha, did you get to carry your Alpha Chars over to Beta or did they do a wipe?

No we didn't get to keep them.

all alpha char's were wiped

woops zubis beat me.

Played from 11pm-9am last night @_@. Don't know of a good grinding spot or what to do now, phy21, other classes are rank ~10-15. How do you get ~30 leves? Based on rank or level?

Given the discourse I imagine controlling the economy is going to be easy mode since Wiki won't be there to hold most of your hands.

Depends on your class, I believe. I was able to pick up the lv30 ones once I got Pugilist to 20.

Check if your weapon's durability is 0 if you're getting surplus points. Somebody on the beta forums mentioned that they started getting them when their weapon 'broke'.

I want to know what kind of cheat code you have for RL to play video games for 10 hours in one day lol

I've been getting them even when it isn't.

Doesn't take a whole lot of time to find a bottle neck and exploit it especially if the majority is ignorant. It's like selling "high quality" air to people.

Is anyone else having screen tearing? Particularly in the top half of the screen and when turning the camera. My brother and I are both getting it. Both ATI; me with a 4890 and him with a 5670.

yup, only in fullscreen, forcing "wait for vertical refresh" in the CCC menu does nothing. HD5770

how come a con can't cure while fighting , this is bs

Got my shit rocked by a human plains footpad. Dude looked like he had some nice gear on, so I wonder if humans can drop equippable items as loot. I doubt it, given that its in the same vein as FFXI, but older FF games had stealable and lootable weapons/armor on mobs, so one can hope.

So, I have a 4 pugilist (PL 7) and 3 conjurer (PL7), and the standard pugilist attack was doing about 50 damage each time I executed it. Conjurer spirit darts was doing 17 damage per hit.

I think they have some pretty serious balance issues.

Got conjurer to 10, and there isn't much balance issues. You get a new tp move that does 80-90 dmg easy, costs 1000tp, and is on a 10s cool down and restores 6~ mp. Between the two spirit darts you need to use to get 1000 tp, shock spikes, stoneskin, curing, and spamming the tp move, you hold your own weight in the party providing support, heals, and some decent dmg while regenerating your mp. Granted 6~ mp isn't much per move, but you can get it off every 10s so it adds up quick.

Does anybody know what to kill to get Ice Crystals from? I'm trying to make a Maple Longbow, and apparently not only does it require a Wind Crystal but also an Ice Crystal, and I haven't seen a single one so far :/

some people getting them randomly while mining

It seems like we're on a similar path for XIV as we were with XI.. is leveling pretty hard until level 10 or so?

Fixed my skill up problem by logging out for a couple mins, worked for about an hour and now it's back. It started happening at the same spot I was at earlier, so I'm beginning to think it's area specific. This all started west of Bloodshore, right after the cave where the moles, bees, and that single roseling is.

sounds like the bermuda triangle for skillups.

Anyone know any Battle Regimen sequences?

[Cayos]

How do you set battle regimes? All I can find is the initiate button to the left of the action bar.

[Hyan]

I don't think they have changed the BR system in any way since Alpha, so it's probably a bit pointless to try it out now since they have already mentioned it's going to see changes.
