FFXIV Random Speculation/Question thread V: No one told me beta would have problems in it

[Loaar]

Wait is that the same as MP regen?

Its talking about if you touch the Aetheryte.

Plenty of people were abusing it to have unlimited HP/MP while fighting a mob, now you can only use it to top up outside of combat or once you finish a leve.

W A S D are the commands to move with the keyboard, genius. You can't have it 'just type' when you hit those buttons. It doesn't work this way for any other MMO on the market, or any other game period.

Except XI, which is the predecessor to XIV, which used the numpad, which I preferred to WASD for MMOs, which is kind of my entire point.

It was my understanding that XIV could use the numpad configuration like in XI, which would render WASD as movement keys unnecessary.

Again, I don't need that configuration, I would just prefer it, so I'm not sure why you're being such a spectacular douche about it.



Anyway, when are those fansite invites being passed out? Midnightish, or are we gonna have to wait a few days?

Your understanding is, at this point in time, incorrect.

God damn it....as if mages don't suck enough....now nerf? >_<

I wouldn't call removing an obvious exploit a nerf.

EDIT: You can still use them to top up MP between fights as long as you dont have a leve or behest active. If you need more MP than a full bar to kill a single mob, then your fighting things that are too hard for you.

Maybe mages got OOC MP regen now? WTB patch notes.

I could of sworn people were saying numpad movement worked the same in XIV, at least in alpha. Just with janky camera control buttons instead of the arrow keys.

I hope they give it as an option, then.

Numpad works as well, but both work at once, its not a toggle on/off option.

Even if you use the numpad to move, pressing "W" moves your character forward unless your chat line is active.

[darkblade77]

Numpad move does work, just the two-hand setup isn't the same as it was in XI.

I spent most of beta using numpad to move.

EDIT: Outsponded.

Kind of a bizarre setup to have both. I hope they just make it a toggle like the original/compact option in XI. At least in regards to the WASD.

as long as you can move with numpad and toggle targets thru tab key and not have to use the mouse i'm cool with that

Unless of course you use a controller, in which case you only hit WASD if you want to chat. Most games that are designed around a gamepad DO work that way.

Name one on the PC that isn't FFXI.

This is pretty hilarious though, for the better part of a year these threads have been nothing but peoples hopes and dreams... and that SE 'learned something from FFXI' and made an actual PC game. Now all of a sudden we have an influx of people wanting to ignore the mouse and play a Ps2 port.

[shaddix]

Celeras, how come OCCT is the only thing that shows artifacts on my new 460?(evga one came in today)

[Celeras]

I'll PM you, dont wanna derail

Maybe because there are alot of people that liked the aspect that FFXI had gamepad support where few if any other MMORPGs even gave it as an option. If anything FFXIV (if they get mouse support down better and bring in customized key bindings) will become even more a real PC game then any of the other MMOs out there period. What happened to the days when PC gamers went and bought peripherials for a single game (Joystick, gamepad whatever else) because it made a game more immersive? What happened to developers just allowing people to pick whatever style of control they want? I hate WASD movement but I "put up with it" because no other PC developer these days can seem to think out of that box anymore. There are much, much bigger problems with FFXI in the PC community, but gamepad support being standard was not one of them.
