Gonna stream a bit for those that cant play yet.. Though I think they've started giving keys again. Doing some 3 man play now.

Damnit, I'm having more fun watching you play than actually logging in and playing for myself ._.

Ok so I just had my THM cast poison instead of sacrifice causing me to die. Problem is I dont have poison equipped.

Sacrifice has an initial HP cost. I never tested it myself, but I believe someone mentioned it could kill you in the last beta. Was your HP low when you tried to use Sacrifice?

[Lucavi]

Is feint still broken in a good way?

Who the hell is level 20 yet to test it? Skill gains are sloooowww this time around.

You can't cast it if you have 54 or fewer HP.

Though I guess lag could have caused the server to think you had more hp before it caught up with itself?

Crap I torrented the update but I think I put it in the wrong folder. I put the newest update from the BCA2A8AE meta folder into the D96437AE patch folder and now I'm confused as to which file goes where...... the latest update was 9.05.2000 right? and that goes into the BCA2A8AE.... but can anyone tell me what patch file goes into the D96437AE folder? sorry if this is confusing.

Inc SE fixing bonus skill making the decay way fast, then it turns out bonus points are used to buy new skills and trait, then people complaining about not getting enough bonus skill.

You know it's coming.

[Talyen42]

Chances are your fighting the same mobs that people can solo so why would you get more exp? you kinda do by killing faster.

exp/minute, not exp/mob, and anything higher level can instagib most classes so there's little point to grouping atm, exp was even slower on 5-star t2 leves in a larger group

[SamanosukeShiva]

How much does DEX affect acc atm? I have 54 dex on archer and i still whiff most of the time.

[Tanthalass]

Quick question: How do I actually redo a leve? Its been 48 hours since I did some of the lower level ones (I was told this was the cooldown?) but neither the crystal nor the guy at the guild will reissue or restart it =/

The timing isn't 48 hours since you last did them, it is simply on a 48 hour reset (every other GMT midnight). The next reset is scheduled for 20:00 EDT tonight.

There is supposed to be a away to retry failed ones when the leves list resets every 2 hours but it doesn't seem to be working.

[sruon]

Pretty sure the cooldown is reset in a global, server-side way, like at a certain time it resets for everyone.

It's inevitable.


Anyway, it seems partyplay is pretty much the same, exp-wise? I guess they haven't added the new perks to help encourage it yet. I'm tired of all of this anti-social soloing crap, with lots of people and no talking.

Whee, thanks.

[Tanthalass]

Alright, that makes more sense. Thanks.

Also, anyone know where the fuck Maisenta Cotter is in Girdania? Looked fucking everywhere for this NPC can't find them

Is anyone else having their keybinds not save after every login? Everytime I log on it's back to the default settings, but when I open the keyboard settings in configuration my keybinds are all like I previously set them and it's only after I open this window that they replace the default keybinds.

Yes.

[TStupified]

Is there any way to sort the inventory?

[Lordender]

mob placement change in the patch. Place I was grinding at last night now has bee swarms that drop wind shards north of camp horizon

8-5 on the map apparently. Not sure since I'm not in Girdania myself, but the locations were right on NPCs in Ul'dah that I looked up, so couldn't hurt to start looking there.
