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

So basically you will have miners crying that they dont get invites to party to throw pebbles at things.

LoL or Blacksmith only being invited to repair stuff. However don't you get physical level for crafting?

Job and Physical.

[Cichy]

Yeah, you do also for mining. From what I've experienced so far you do get a decent amount of exp from that. I have not been in a experience party so for now cant judge more but you can lvl physical lvl fairly fast by crafting/gathering.

I would *hope* people would realize that crafting jobs aren't going to be invited for damage dealing...

...or do I underestimate SE's ability to make blacksmith into a DD?

Nah. SE said they'd be so weak they wouldn't be worth using as an attacker so to speak, but that they could offer buffs that prtys may want. BRDv2.0? lol

Either way, I'm going all craft whore when I start.

So pumped to tank as gladiator tomorrow. $200 Office chair so I don't stop to massage my back every 5 minutes. Plus more cream soda.

Side note: Does un-equipping my sword let me level pugilist?

[ascalon]

It was actually more so like this if you go back a few years+. Tiny % of the population killed HNM/Wyrms, remember when only the elite LSs could kill DL? Remember sticking to LS only prtys because of all the gimps?

If this doesn't apply to you, you don't remember it because you were one of the players we're talking about here.

I never did any of that stuff. Played since January of 03 I think it was. Didn't get my first 75 till a couple of years after that thanks to the timezone difference. Had some great parties with JP players, very few with NA players. Mostly because I had a full time job and couldn't stay up late enough to play with many English speakers

Either way, I'm certainly not one of those "I want to play DRK/PLD because it sounds cool" type of players. But by the time I'd even got to 75 on one job (and 60+ on 7 or 8 others) I was so bored of the game that endgame stuff didn't really appeal anyways. I have plenty of friends/acquaintances that did Dynamis and Limbus and all that stuff, but they all played 5 or 6 hours later than I could, and mostly all I heard about was how much they died. Grinding more xp to counter the whole death penalty didn't really appeal to me as a player. Just seemed like more of an overinflated timesink and counterproductive to fun :D

Ya know, it'll be absolutely fantastic if you can get good xp doing solo stuff high lvl/endgame. Would make dying in instanced content like that so much less of a hassle. It was always annoying as hell when someone refused to go to Dynamis on ____ job because they only had a 1k buffer, or being that person and just delvling all to hell.

PLD was my first 75...so I know exactly what you mean about grinding to balance out the 8million deaths you could eat doing some stuff, lol.

Single best investment I've made in the past 3 months.

[Zer0]

awesome thanks xD

[Kurokikaze]

Oh damn... I might need to get one of those as well. Looks comfy. ;o

If nothing else, I'm glad they dropped the -XP on death penalty in FFXIV!

what they will do instead is after reaching max level, youll merit or something similar, and when you die youll lose the merits youve ganined in the past 48 hrs. Kind of similar to how in demon's souls you lose all your souls on death?

Eh? Was that in one of the interviews? Don't remember that.

edit: I should read the whole quote before posting

[Kurokikaze]

I think you just got trolled.

[Cureslime]

Meh death sickness and 15% durability penalty is plenty. Just think of how much it'll cost to repair endgame gear. Harsh death penalties just lead to safe and boring cookie cutter parties.

[Hyan]

It's not even 5mins sickness now is it?

Although you get it even while HP'ing, lame.

Awesome, atleast this stimulates the economy - crafting will be a necessity.
