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

this thread is turning into the beta forums

you asked to big of a question is why ppl didn't respond (not trying to sound like an ass at all). Here are the basic rules though...
If you lv thaum or conj, you want to lv the other also to get the most benefit out of either.
If you want to lv Pug or Maur, you want to lv the other also to get the most benefit out of either.
If you want to lv glad, then you want to lv Pug & Maur also to get the most benefit out of Glad (some conj & thaum would be good also)

Thats fine Katlan, thanks for the insight into it; appreciated. :D

Why is she so butthurt?

[shidobu]

Um who has the brass spear now? what npc?

edit. anybody else notice Doomspike is using ALL tp, instead of just 2000?

The only thing I can figure out that SE would think this MP system would be ok is that they have refresh drinks and MP regen equipment up their sleave.

[Arximiro]

Kuro send me a tell, I can't remember your weird ass name.

for me it seem more stressfull than alive, i got surprised too by the fanfare, kinda loud btw.

about the combat, i wonder why you deleted the second attack and remplaced the first one by 2 hit that become 3 hit for critical.
having a more strong but slower attack and the opposite was kinda cool i think.
it seem the animation are in fast-foward mode too.

i felt that the whole system got optimised but then i noticed name of players not on my screen (its should be an option and i know it come with targeting mode) if its not the players >< , the target range not modified and i just crashed wanting to equip my first skill. should i use command to do so? what a progress!

could you tell me what you actualy did to make the game engine better ? and i really mean 'make the engine better', not making it looking better. ><


i need to test more but my first impressions are : pretty disapointed.

Or they want us to

I can't imagine that they'd want to make certain disciplines only functional in the context of guildleves / hovering around an aetheryte.

[Podginator]

Spinstroke is an amazing way to claim things, takes like 1/2 the mobs HP if they're not attacking you.

12 Glad - Sorry for the omission

Only issue I see here is that if you want to for some reason or another solo shit and don't have guildleves up you need some form of mp regen.

I don't think they intend that kind of situation to be a common occurrence... but ethers will probably be a big hit this time if so. Alchemy needs to be useful too and have it's own consumables I guess.

[el_tio]

What discipline is Spinstroke from / lvl?

[Kaiyoko]

Nah yo, testing other shit lol.

Might go level Thau and Pug to 4 for cures.

Blood bath is nice for using with WS too. 75% on MAR returns of DMG, and I think 50% on any other class....

[Fallyn]

where do i buy weapons to change classes?

[el_tio]

where do i buy weapons to change classes?

Thundersquall's Thundersticks mostly I think. Archer's in Hawker's Alley. Mage weapons idk, I think it's pretty clear on the map though.

How is that not a common occurrence now that leves are on a 48 hour cooldown? After your leves it's grind grind grind.

I think a good solution would be to buff that weapon skill mages get that returns MP. It should return a lot more MP and you should get it at like L3

[Kaiyoko]

Thundersticks building. Head towards the Blacksmith/Armorer building, and it's the building before that.

Yeah pretty nice, ever since I lvled Pugilist and got Second Wind though it seems really weak.

Yeah, because you can't join other people's leves and level 10 times faster that way?

One would think that's enough of an incentive to get people to group, but I guess not.

Although they should still make the cooldown scale imo, which is probably the problem here. Or not providing the leader enough incentive to make a party (or people dont just get it yet, Idk).

[el_tio]

Bango Zango's just outside the Hyaline. =D

Anyone know where Brugaire's Consortium is?
