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

[Lithiani]

It's run by a sultan who's strings are pulled by they wealthiest members of the city, last I checked that's not a democracy.

Nevermind, you were right.

FTFY

can't believe you just said that about the us it is the best country in the world and god bless it.

This statement is precisely the same thing as people who were convinced San'Doria was awesome, despite everything (even the bagpipes), just because they spawned there.

At least you chose starting cities in FFXI.

[Murureru]

I see servers and lobby are up but error upon login, same for everyone else?

[Balphas]

Yeah, can't log in right now.

- Upon the use of a bazaar, the window may remain open and prevent the player from progressing any further.

Thank god, they acknowledged that issue, it was starting to disrupt the flow of the game.

So it is starting to behave like a Mall would, which is why I haven't been in one in over 10 years.

[Brodan]

this just in: OB will have all starting cities.

[Cjskater]

Get one of the attacks. Does it use MP? Does it have a recast? How much damage does it do compared to Spirit Dart/Elemental Nukes?

I think it's broken right now.

That or it's just an AoE Spirit Dart that only works in Leves (for the AoE part). Has a slightly higher stamina cost than Spirit Dart as well, about as much as a weapon skill.

Sorry, it's actually 11th!

orly? Nice! I've done pretty much all I can in La Noscea unless I make it to 100 faction credits with somebody.

After today's patch, the "D/C cancels guildleve" BS gets worse. In the past you could relog, dc, etc as long as you had someone else in the group to share it back with you. Now, if its your leve they share back with you, its as if they shared it and yours is forever "failed". So now you lose that extra 1k+ gil and whatever item you had as a reward because you d/cd.

That's wrong I can confirm this with Kuro, yesterday we did a blooshore camp guildleave (mine) around Noon EST

I went too far in a cavern and lost the leave, kuro was still in it. I ran to the node and restarted it, But I lost the reward that was conjurer marks, and got the "helping reward"

So that problem was before the patch

[Hyan]

So

Open Beta will start in early September

Level cap will be 40, Gridania and Ul'dah will be available along with the higher level GL's.

Something smells awfully rushed to me :D

That would have been because the mark rewards are different. You can't change class for example, so it would automatically add you as a "helper" regardless.

Not saying what your saying isn't correct (it might have been all of phase 3) but mark rewards are a special case anyway.

[Ratatapa]

Ok i'll resay what I did

We did Escape from cell b17

I was conjurer et was archer, our goal was to kill 2 zikkos. first one was fine 2nd was hidding, we both though it was in a cavern, but I went to the wrong one, and it made me fail my leave.

So I ran back to the node and clicked it and it said 'Do you want to help the party finish this leave' Clicked yes and went to kill the 2nd zikko. When the reward note appeared I got 120gil only which was the completation bonus for helping So I lost my main reward because it didn't count as my 'own' leave anymore

[Lithiani]

So

Open Beta will start in early September

Level cap will be 40, Gridania and Ul'dah will be available along with the higher level GL's.

Yeah, I have the scent of hurried launch fail in my nostrils. Really really hope they listen and don't rush it.

TBH if they delayed at this point it would probably do them good. "Wait until it is ready" is an attitude that actually plays very well in the MMO gamer community.

[Null]

God, finally seeing pics of the starting city and knowing we will actually get to play them before launch is a load off my back. Gotta say, what I see and hear of the forest kinda reinforces my worries about it being bland . Hope the music is as good as rons.

[Balphas]

Who says cap is lvl 40? and that there'll even be an open beta and that the other starting cities are included there? Please link the source so we know. I saw that they got to play with some lvl 40 premade characters, but didnt see where they mentioned it'd be the cap.

It says it in the Gamewatch article (which is in Japanese).

"Square Enix is, Windows / PlayStation 3 for MMORPG "Final Fantasy XIV" in, announced that will begin in early September to test the open β anyone can join. According to this, several new content is published to be implemented in an open β test. For more information about the open β test is expected to be announced shortly. "

"This time, the public, "Rominsa Rimusa" city-states along with the two remaining positions, "Guridania" and "Urudaha" and the new Girudorivu. Game Show will be held in Germany from May 18, 8 "GamesCom" The first time they will be unveiled at an open β test (OBT) which is expected to be implemented. Currently being held closed β test (CBT), the starting point where to choose the "Rominsa Rimusa" but only, OBT from the two remaining city-state "Guridania" and "Urudaha" will be able to choose."

"Alone because if they take it, it is important to work with the party. I have tried something at a lower level of difficulty first level 50 character, still win. The high difficulty level, the party would aim to pay will be required almost rare. This Girudorivu OBT also be implemented so as not likely to happen, it means to experience the party luck on the rank of the weapon."

I can see the mentioning of early september for open beta, and further down he also writes something about lvl 50 and something. I didn't see where they stated that lvl 40 is the cap.

Indeed, 5 years definitely have a bad smell to it :D
