FFXIV Random Speculation/Question thread VIII: Alpha Was The Best Beta v2 -_-;

[Kurokikaze]

This equip system is so stupid. I wish they would just go back to how it was in Alpha. Not the right class and level? Can't wear it. Theres really no point in wearing scaled gear when you can get something your level.. So why?

Fashion

[Amastacia]

Messing around, buying new equipment yesterday I noticed that apparently every job can equip anything you have even if it doesn't favor that job. Does equipping it jobs it doesn't favor provide less stat boots and no bonuses as opposed to if it does favor it?

Gear that isn't favored by your class is significantly gimped, to the point where it's only useful as a fashion statement.

Another game patch. Not stuck at 94.6% this time using the launcher.

Only stuck at 98.3% this time.

Where is the mask vendor?

I guess I understand after FFXI, and the large amount of gear people used to need for level capped events, that this was an attempt to ease that burden. Still, for the mass players, I think more will be confused by the system than would appreciate what they are trying to do.

Mask vendor in gridania is just north of carpentry guild.

[TacoTaru]

Where is the mask vendor?

Gridania, it's southwest (literally right around the corner) from the boots dealer. There are three dealers in stalls, two to the west, one to the east, clumped together and the one to the east sells the mask. Chances are you'll only be able to afford the cheapest one which is HP/MP+11 and something else. I want that Jester's hat so bad .

Gridania vendors, slightly updated: http://wuselfuzz.de/gridania-shops.txt

[Sirenia]

Oh ok, so I guess there is not a gear vendor in LL?

so i guess they didnt fix the random crashes?

[Spoony Bob]

are there any such gear vendors in Ul'dah? I've found the vendor with the some starter armor I think, but a mask would be nifty.

[Chrian]

woo hope they fixed cure enmity, loved curing my party only to get comboed by the enemy back into low hp on a tough mob or heck how ss 1 doesn't last too long on hard mobs. Partying makes some mobs easier.

Hmmm.

[Gokulo]

I think that's the first time they fixed a game mechanic in one of these maints full of crash fixes Hopefully we'll get more of that along the way.

[hamstar]

confirmed. patch doesnt resolve crashing issues. i just crashed within 10minutes.

on a side note: i had green latency and the battles felt much more fluid and fun.

Empty server so on so on.

[SamanosukeShiva]

Hmmm.

Cure spel hate probably, the aggro system is so fucked up at lower levels when ppl still doesnt have taunt.

The body vendor is in Ul'dah in Ruby Road Exchange.

One thing that makes me sad though is I really don't see any omg great armor like I saw in XI. I know its new, people don't know to many crafts and there isn't anything like AF yet. But nothing seems to stand out. Much of the same color scheme going on.

Some NPC's have really nice heavy armor, but I agree, haven't seen anything to lust and strive for like AF or even I.M. gear back in the days. It's still early though, and if there's one thing SE gets right it's the visuals.
