I'm pretty sure he was jokingly referring to the amount of people who don't have the beta yet.

servers up and got bored after 1minute. no use people complaining about beta keys.
nothing in the game worthwhile at the moment.

would be more fun when theres actually something to do.

I know something you can do in the meantime, go run around on the nearest motorway and see how many cars you can dodge.

I didn't note the error the first few times, but the last one I got was "An error has occurred. (400000)4,32617". Any help or if someone could at least post that on SE's forums would be awesome.

Been reported by me, seems like a random server error. Failed 2 leves because of it, logged into my catgirl on another server and the problem stopped.

Multishot rapes for me at level 12~

Was that crafted? I've gotten stars on shit I've synthed over 100 quality.

I noticed fletchings required "arrow fletchery" but it still let me proceed with the synth. I don't think it's implimented yet.

Protip for guild marks:
when exchanging leves you get a bonus to whatever new leve you're flagging. Don't use this for more gil, wait until the reward is guildmarks THEN exchange your completed leves. I got a 200 point reward and boosted it up to 400+ by exchanging 4 old leves and 2 starring it. Also got to flag 3 archer guild mark rewards in a row.. seems random but not quite?

Protip 2: Don't pop LNC reward leves on ARC, zero reward.. =(

**Dmitry** · 2010-08-20 06:05

All right, as long as it's been reported. Thank you.

I don't really want to make another character on another server, I'd just rather try a few things out and get a feel for it but wait for retail instead of putting effort in that will get wasted.

**Cjskater** · 2010-08-20 06:13

Bought this, will let you guys know how it goes.

Edit: Ok well I didn't find anything while using Conjurer as a main (Cures stayed the same), will keep testing that though. I did get a pretty big boost to Cure while on Thaum though, went from 158->194HP. It could be just a "sub-skill" thing only (not sure on that yet however).

First Final Fantasy XIV was on for the Xbox 360. Then it was off. In case you didn't catch that news the first time, we drilled it into you again a few days later. Now the game is off-with-a-chance-of-on.

Citing issues with Xbox Live policy, Final Fantasy XIV producer Hiromichi Tanaka told the press that development on the 360 port was halted. But have no fear! The project is merely on pause while Square Enix and Microsoft sweat out the details. There's no telling when work will resume, so the game remains a PS3 console exclusive for now.

I wonder how that "up to a maximum of 100" thing will function. Can you stack these traits, or will there be more, can you get affinity from other sources etc.?

If they're there to boost the effectiveness of subbed skills, that's pretty cool.

**Meko** · 2010-08-20 07:10

So I'm nub but when trying to assign abilities to slots on the hot bar, I get the option to "equip main hand" or "equip off hand". What does that mean exactly?

Continued:
Cure II: 228 -> 287
Radiance avg over 10 WS: 214 -> 252.6avg

I like that Radiance part, even though I don't really need even more mp on Thaum. Kind of want the Thaum version of this in case Stagian Spikes gives more MP back.

Edit: Cant really test nukes where I'm at, since I'll rape hard either way but if Radiance is anything to go by I'd be doing a decent bit more.

Pretty sure it only applies to jobs that can equip an off-hand item such as a shield. So for example you would put the weapon skill Shield Bash on off hand rather than your main. I'm new to beta too so someone can correct me if this is wrong.

**Hyan** · 2010-08-20 07:32

So about a 20% boost?

Well, I'm playing a Thaumaturge (sp) and those abilities I have are spells so that is where my confusion lies.
