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

[Nartosar]

Remember alllllll the way back to the retainers talk.
If there are eight zones and that it stays that way, I imagine they expect the playerbase to develop a market culture where each zone is expected to carry certain wares. Things will probably end up organizing themselves like that (along with tweakings from SE).

[BlackheartX]

It's my Beta and I'll stress if I want to... stress if I want too... stress if I want tooooooo.

That's my book stay outta mah book!!!

[Loaar]

The spells are not AoE for conjurer, I don't care what the tooltip says or what you remember. I have had mobs literally on top of eachother and the log still shows one mob taking damage and viewing the other mobs health shows no drop at all.

They are. Extending the AoE range is one of the bugs SE has listed on their "to-do" list of fixes. Its part of the "known issues" post every test.

[Sylvaria]

wheres the tutorial that tells me about what stat has which effect in combat?
its not on the beta side and id like to memorize for next time

[GameDragon]

It's on the Call of Adventurer thingy on Aetheryte for future reference.

Str - Physical Attack
Vit - Physical Defense
Dex - Physical Accuracy

Int - Magical Attack
Mnd - Magical Defense
Pie - Magical Accuracy

Just curious if the apparent imbalance for the mage classes is being talked about on the beta forums? I'm hoping it gets enough attention so that the problems don't just slip through the cracks.

mage is fine, it just isnt god in the first 5 levels, honestly many classes start slow, and the ones that dont, usually slow down later. lnc is ehhh till speed surge right now. pug is ehhh at 10 compared to other jobs. By the time you hit 20, if your class seems like it sucks totally then id worry

And what if you want to sell different types of items (ie junk).. besides if they want this to take place they will need to force people to a specicfic zone, allowing players to choose zones for themselves will result in the completely oppisite of what you are suggesting.

Of course all they really need is a search function that links all retainers together, you wouldn't need an AH then, but then nor would you need 8 zones in which to physically look through.

No, read again.
But you do strike true at the "varied wares" part. Wouldn't work with that.

[Meko]

They should just add an AH in the cities and be done with it. Personally, I like a central place to do all shopping etc. It simplifies things. No need to go way off the radar.

Also, in regards to classes "starting out slow", I feel like this is very old and dated. To be able to start a class and to have a couple of options for abilities/spells early on is what makes a class enticing to play from the start. The idea of waiting until level 40 to get something is not cool imo.

[Agito]

What is the marketplace going to be exactly? Auction house, manually checking every bazaar or a search function that links every bazaar?

[AshTS]

Basically, as it stands, it's a lot of instanced this- (Spoilered for hugeness)

Spoiler: show

[Rasengan]

If you've read the last few pages then yeah, right now it seems to be 8 zones of bazaars at Rolanberry. People are hoping that it becomes a searchable feature or maybe just bring back the AH system like FFXI. Having both would be ideal though.

[Hyan]

FFXI's AH was opened in the first major update after release iirc.

Idk if they'll do the same here, but it's a possibility.

Does anyone know if there will be any UI Customization in FF14 or addon's like WoW has?

Thanks

[sruon]

Alpha client has hinted at a LUA engine, now it might have been just for SE.

Sincerely doubt it.

The default UI is currently customizable in the sense that you can put them anywhere you want in the window, not sure if they have some delete/add feature planned.

Mappo Runt

As of now, no.

addon support is the last thing I would expect from SE.

Just reinstall the main client and then copy your old files into the new directory.
