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

[AshTS]

I've made the same guy 35 times between today and Tuesday with no dice. Somewhat infuriating.

I couldn't care less whether the servers are multi-lingual or not. Being an English speaker has it good in both scenarios since you have NA, EU and AU all in different timezones for activity throughout the day. Quite a lot of Europeans outside the UK can speak English too. It's the people who only speak French, German and Japanese who would be limited.

It was nice to party with JP players in XI every now and then but with XIV's speedy battle system and roaming parties will you really have time to use the auto translate feature?

I've been trying to login for ... 30 minutes or so.
Wonder if it'll kick me out once I try to get on a server...

[Mathematics]

for some reason my place in the queue keeps getting higher...

I'm in after changing my server to Exdeath.. hoping all is well now.

How are some of you 18 and 20, I'm guessing melee classes with the luxury of being able to faceroll the 1 button and gain skill easily?

I've played pugilist and conjurer. Pugilist does so much more damage right now. They really need to fix this.

[Hyan]

I wonder what causes that runtime error, that's a new one isn't it?

I didn't feel anywhere near overpowered; the miss/evade rate is atrocious until you upgrade from the level 1 fists.

Arguably I can take light blue dots in about 8-10 swings, some mobs are hitting for around 60, some around 40, some around 50. Thankfully, new weapon also increases your parry rate, so maybe 30-40% of the time, you'll parry the damage down to 10. I'd say atm I go passive to HP regen every 6-7 mobs if all goes well with Second Wind timers + parry procs, every 2-3 mobs if it doesn't.

I am c16/p21 atm. Also, for the curious, I was able to equip Blindside (c16 skill) without unequipping any other Pugilist skills, and it came out to 24/24 again, as it did 21/21 at c14. Not sure if this will continue on, but c15 was 21/22 for action points.

[e] as a side note, it IS possible to parry a critical, but the combat log will only recognize it as a parry (combat text on your char will say critical, however).

[e2] the mobs I have been fighting recently have been pretty good at giving 1:1 on class to physical exp. It's been going up pretty evenly.

[Kaylia]

Oh, wtf, they changed the elemental order

water > earth > lightning > water
fire > ice > wind > fire

I don't think I can play mage anymore. This game make no sense

[edit]
Also, why the fuck would you call it "elemental resistance" when it increase both your elemental strength and defense. Is it a mistake in the tutorial, or a poorly named stats?
