FFXIV Random Speculation/Question thread VI: Phase 3, FFXIV is still on the rag!

[Katlan]

that's like, just your opinion, man.

I think we are all looking way to much into this! I bet there is some food or type of consumable that lowers skill fatigue... Duh! (don't know if this should be sarcasm or serious)

I wonder if I'll drink more coffee in game than I do in real life... probably not.

So ffxi all over again with servers in japan?

[niwaar]

This was the response I was looking for tho it lacked the amount of fanboyism I've come to appreciate. The instant WOW analogy was expected yet it lacked umph like "f@#$ you WOWTARD you can't have my special flower ;-;". A longer justification of shortcomings would have been welcomed. However I commend you on you're attempt.

Nothing compares to the post on the Beta forums where someone asked what they planned to do about WoW tourists so the same shit doesn't happen to XIV that it did to Aion. The response was something akin to "WoW rules and you just can go back to sucking from the SE cock". So there is people on both sides of that coin.

On a separate note, Beta 3 just seems to have a lot more problems than Beta 2. Its sad that these issues make the build even less stable than it once was for a lot of players. Toss in the "Surplus" system, which if it is what we think it is, should be in the manual, and we have a game that needs a lot of work in the 5 weeks we have left before launch.

wait, did you really expect anything different?

If it's an anti RMT mechanic then it's a horrible horrible plan.. as it sounds more and more like it is (also since gathering professions see decreased results over time). It's gonna hurt the players more then anything. You can't stop RMT from farming / grinding this way w/o hurting the player base even more.

If i want to lv conj to 30 I shouldn't need to switch to another job because of an xp fatigue system. That's forcing ppl to do what they don't want to in order to lv what they want to. makes no sense

I agree with you, If i want to grind 1 class to cap, I should be able to. I don't think however it is some anti RMT mechanic. I think its more of SE wanting you to play several classes, and make your own class up of several combined. But either way, skill or exp fatigue in any way shape or form is simply retarded.

True, however if me trolling isn't obvious by now that makes me sad panda. On a side note I never played Aion or heard anything about WOW doing something to Aion. Only thing I know about Aion is they were swarmed by RMT.

We don't need your trolling here, go spam zam or the other places with your crap, plenty of others just like you at those shit holes.

You're high brow speculations will never stop me from playing FFXIV and calling my character a toon. Zam isn't to far removed from this so don't fool yourself.

People seem to be forgetting beta 2 wasn't exactly smooth sailing off the bat. I'd say it didn't sail at all for an entire week.

[SilverBreeze]

Cut the shit guys, play nice or you're going to time out.

SB, what do you think about Biggie? He seems like a disruptive personality.

My guess is it's a system to slow down players in retail from reaching the level cap by making them level multiple jobs up at once.

They probably want time to create some endgame content so people don't get to the cap and get bored/quit.

Evidence to this is the fact that it's a pretty major part of the game right now that SE hasn't acknowledged or explained in the least. They know if they publicly explain what surplus really is there will be a backlash of angry players and negative press. Can they dodge surplus questions for another 5 weeks?

Of course this is just the conspiracy theorist in me talking. :D

Suprisingly i had hoped for more acceptable pings of 100-200

Thanks. Got my key already. I know I might have won one from the NA contests but it was worth the $7 to be sure. I've had like $12 sitting in my paypal account for a year+. Finally something to waste it on. :D

Fileplanet offering their subscribers beta keys for NA accounts.. $7 USD for a one month subscription and a beta key. Pretty sad to buy a beta key if you ask me, especially with all the fansites about to give all theirs out on the 16th (presumably). But hey if you've got the money :\

Ok, here are the rules for said beta code give away.

You must not attempt to sell these beta codes or we will just give your IP to Square-Enix and you will also get cancer.

just sayin
