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

[Katlan]

just buy the lv 23 one, lv restriction isn't implemented yet and wont be until the next beta build in a few weeks

[Zubis]

Is it only me who finds it extremely lame that every leve in Cassiopeia and Cedarwood involves Elementals? I barely do any damage to them even though they're blue to me.

[Destinye]

Elementals = Physical resistance, Magical weakness (unless same element) which probably isn't fully implemented yet.

[Gokulo]

BTW "surplus" is a french word that means "over" or "too much of" as in "I have too much of X".

Surplus functions normally in English lexicon so if anybody really needed that explained then... /point Dictionary

[Salodin]

How are you all building your stats? For melee, are you guys going full str and dex, or are you throwing in some vit too for defense?

[Zubis]

Yes, of course. Did anyone question that..?

[Lucavi]

Maybe it's considered obsolete in US English.

On a side note, I do note from the website that they've tidied up the English used for certain items & item classes between 11 and 14... "Rod" has become "Sceptre", for example - which is a much better and more specific word (albeit one with less amusement factor).

On a related note, is there a working auto-translate in game yet, and if so is it as intuitive as 11s?

Nope, they didn't add it yet.

Nope, they didn't add it yet.

That implies that there will be one - is that confirmed?

Doing STR DEX and VIT

It's been long confirmed there will be one.

[Hyan]

Yes, it's in the .dats. It doesn't seem to be that different from XI.

Oups, my bad then, now everyone know I speak French ^^;;

[SilverBreeze]

I swear this skill systerm is ridiculous. I managed to kill a yellow mob, land every spell on him and I kill him and get 35 skill points. UGH. Random drops are bad enough in MMOs, random leveling is stupid. Especially when it costs me 112 out of my 275 MP that I have to run across the map to restore.

[Zubis]

Any reason I can't resummon my retainer once she's at the Market Wards? I want to put up new stuff but whatever I try I get the message 'You cannot summon that retainer right now."

[HumsterMKII]

Guys, whats the difference between cloth, leather and metal armour this time round, other the Def difference?

You have to actually go to the MW and talk to her.

Good <3 FFXIs Auto-Translate function was a work of genuine gaming genius in my book.

Haha, I tried everything besides that. I was standing next to her and tried to access her services through the main menu, even went to place where you can talk to them in Hawker's Alley. Thanks for the help.
