It isn't really acceptable to have grinding being the only means of substantial content until endgame anymore, whereas this was the norm when XI came out. S'why I don't look at XIV as bad per-say.. just incredibly fucking dated.

Nothing else needs to be said about it, really. Bravo.

@Hyan: I wouldn't have played it either, but the point is that they're doing it all over again. The fact that you enjoyed XI years later means that if this game sticks around long enough, you'll probably enjoy it in a few years. It shouldn't have happened like this, however. They should have learned from the past and got their shit right from the get-go.

**Hyan** · 2011-02-02 05:48

Yeah, except I wasn't saying any of that.

Yeah seriously, how is that any different than XI lol Replace Crab with Coblyn and you're good to go.

Definitely looks like it. So you aren't "good to go" after all? I can agree with that.

Granted, this was half-trolling and now I feel kinda bad about it. You're too easy of a target to make fun of.

It shouldn't have happened like this, however. They should have learned from the past and got their shit right from the get-go.

And that's the saddest thing of all, Luca. To them there was nothing to "learn", since it worked out. So they did it again. And I don't think there was anything in their past that would have hinted at something like this happening.

They fucked up, but not because they didn't "learn". They did learn- that you can release a pile o' shit and make it successful over-time. Their mistake is elsewhere. And yes, we know what it is.

Man Hyan you sure make a decent amount of good points but you miss a ton of them too.

Let's just all cross our fingers and hope tomorrow's patch is the first of these so-called "miracle patches" we've been hoping for. Shit, they even renamed 'em patches for us. Now they gotta deliver.

**Lucavi** · 2011-02-02 15:33

Eh, your second point. They may have learned that, but their timing was terrible. If FFXIV came out in 2005, then yes, it may have worked. By 2010, though, waaaaaaaay too late. Oh well, they're learning new things every day now, which is good.

**Cureslime** · 2011-02-02 16:24

Wow the item stack changes even apply to weapon/armor parts. That solves the inventory problem for everyone. I hope the market ward search allows you to see HQs now. That would be sweet.

**Hyan** · 2011-02-02 16:33

I guess XI style AH is out of the question at this point

"sell in singles... or in stacks of 99".

This would be fantastic. So annoying trying to find HQ items going ward to ward just to find NQs.

Edit: Uh, and I just realized if they don't show HQs and list items in order from cheapest -> most expensive...ppl aren't even gonna check your retainer if you're selling HQ unless they realize the most expensive may be HQ. Hell, if there's more than 20 of them being sold, HQ won't even show up on the list.

Oh snap you're right. I hope they thought of that beforehand.

**Aratharn** · 2011-02-02 18:12

Because maintenance not over for another 15 minutes.

**Sephiroth** · 2011-02-02 18:14

I'm so glad Dodore wings stack to 99 now, my inventory was overflowing with them.

**Zettofaia** · 2011-02-02 18:40

Well, my ores aren't stacking beyond 12

Also, level 10 "highest" quality has been degraded :/

**Cureslime** · 2011-02-02 18:45

Might have to put them in bazaar and pull them out again to restack them. Fishing is about twice the speed it used to be. Did a few casts after I finished my leve and I'm getting maybe 30-40% more exp per catch than before as well. Good times.

Edit: All forced lag has been removed from botany. It's so fast now. EXP has been boosted as well (at least at rank 20 on grade 3.) People will be able to hit fatigue in 20 minutes now if they left it as is.

**Darte** · 2011-02-02 18:52

seem to be getting more SP from crafting leves.

Previous 25 leve as 26 rewarded 400 and below. Now getting 500~697

**Zettofaia** · 2011-02-02 18:54

Well, my mining SP is still the same at 47. :/

**Sephiroth** · 2011-02-02 18:59

Party SP had better be insane because I can now get 25-30k per hour soloing doblyns.

**Cureslime** · 2011-02-02 19:16

Finished 15 man behest at Horizon. Everyone basically getting about double sp. The time to grind endlessly has arrived I guess! This'll get a lot of people back in the game.

**mythrillboots** · 2011-02-02 21:05

Ok they broke fishing....... rank 43 fishing at grade 10, has virtually the same bite rate as grade 5... but I'm getting 300sp 1200exp per catch. easy catches too since the pool only contains rank 1 fish. at this rate even after level 3 fatigue its better than grade 5.

finally lost a fish. got 150sp for it

**Sephiroth** · 2011-02-02 21:54

Is there a hack or bot to attack mobs outside the normal attack range? Because I'm in a situation right now where a dude can claim mobs that are twice as far from him as me, yet they're out of range for me. We're both using a crab bow so it's no weapon issue.

odds are you are lagging
