FFXIV Random Speculation/Question Thread X: "Social life ends tonight."

[Sephiroth]

Is Quickening the same speed buff DoL can use? That seemed pretty quick.

[Vuitton]

A lot. I think 25% or so.

That is very decent. I am glad I reactivated my FFXI character for this.

[Ayarel]

Good thing is, there's a crapload more mobs running around than it was at OB... Like few times more.

[miokomioko]

Sounds like +50% like from Arbor Call/Dowse/etc.

A few times more wolves in strategic choke points! :D

[Rammses]

A lot. I think 25% or so.

Oh dear. And it works in the cities as well as the fields? And doesn't seem to wear off?

[Sephiroth]

I wonder if Triangulate/etc speed buffs stack with the shoes.

[Gentaro]

I wonder how useful the boots are in the end - still not sure if its worth reactivating my ffxi account <.<

[Arrmani]

I have a stupid question. Can you update the retail version with a bit torrent client? I forget where to look, and there's a lot more folders than the beta and I can't find anything I was hoping to get it updated tonight, but I guess I can let it run.

[Reality]

i heard BT no longer works... idk what they did

[Nekoteko]

Yes you can torrent it.

Haven't seen this mentioned yet:

Essentially FFXI controls for PC. Seems to be minus F1-F6 party member targeting. Maybe it's customizable?

[Celeras]

The fact that people even consider blowing $15 for a pair of virtual boots(level 1 starter boots no less) blows my fucking mind.

[Rammses]

I sure as hell am going to reactivate FFXI if it's constant 25% (except in battles).

My FFXI account is registered under fake address (import) and my fathers name (I was 13). You think linking this to my SE account could cause any problems, if at all possible? Flag it for suspicuous activities or something, leading to future ban? They did backpedal with the not being able to link cross-region FFXI and SE account, right? I'm really paranoid with this stuff.

Unless I'm missing something, that's exactly as the controls have been for a while. What people were complaining about was the inability to map camera controls to the arrow keys, which hasn't changed.

Seems like Spirit Dart can now miss, don't think i ever saw it miss in the beta, kinda sucks but oh well

[Lucavi]

People blew money on bag space in FFXI. Apparently the boots are a pretty big speed boost, and with a game that consists strictly (for now) of running around, its not a bad investment.

Not one I'm willing to make, but not bad just the same.

Edit: Spirit dart missing sucks. I enjoyed having a useful alternative to burning all of my MP up in seconds.

[Kurokikaze]

No it should be fine.

Spirit Dart missing.. Saw that coming, right Lucavi? lol

Someone let me know if Second Wind is back to Closed Beta numbers. And if VIT/MND still effects HP/MP.

I don't know about the fake address, but I made a POL account in my real name, but my FFXI account is still under my dad's name. I don't think it matters for FFXI either, because I linked multiple accounts to my POL for the Mog Satchel when it came out too.

Also, I found 2 torrents that were new for retail, so I'm downloading them now. Will see what happens when they finish. One was really small.

[CrstyCptSteveWitherspoon]

Hell if it's the same quickening effect that DoL gets; usable everywhere outside of battle, I'd pay like $80 for a pair of them(thankfully I don't). The time saved having a pair of shoes that gives that effect would add up so fast over time... Well worth the money. So happy I activated my XI account.


Spirit dart misses now? arg... kinda saw that coming though.
