I do need to agree the EXP growth needs to be adjusted. I can only imagine how dreadful it will be past 50 to get a craft up.

As for the party feature, one of the biggest reasons I don't see it being used is because caps are pretty much nonexistent in the game, mostly due to respawn times. I was in a 5 man PT on Peists Wednesday night and the respawn was so long after we went from one end of their spawning radius to the other they were all gone and after about a 5 min. break they still didn't spawn.

So right I'm sitting at the login page, waiting for my character to dc out of game. Having thunderstorms currently and my power went out so my computer restarted. Its been around 10 minutes now and I still can't get in. Pretty awesome SE still hasn't fixed this issue. I can only imagine how shitty this is for people that dc a lot.

Gave this game another chance a few days ago, I managed to last 4 days before I uninstalled again. Game is completely unplayable post rank 20, it's still everything but "casual-friendly", the party feature is unused and servers are desert.

What game did you play? One round of leves and maybe a few behests = 20-30 in a few hours. Theres a million things to legitimately complain about, a non 'casual friendly' leveling pace certainly isnt one of them.

Anyone notice in Mun Tuy cellars Prince of Pestilence does not pop? I can see his dot on the map but he doesn't pop in game.

[Lokus]

He is bugged like that on Rabanastre as well. You can AoE the opos to attack it but since it's in that state, it will never die. Gnats need to be visible to die and since it's invisible/teleport status, it's always gonna have at least 1 HP.

Posting within topic; Awesome to know that 9 months since launch and the updater is giving me a blazing 0.0B/s-5.0B/s download speed.

SE will never be good at anything PC related. I suspect they aren't even trying.

it's also incredibile how, in 2011, the cursor in that window lags out on my computer, it moves like a little behind the "true" cursor.
dunno if it's only me, but its SO annoying and unecessary.

Its still using the software cursor on the patcher.

my point was, couldn't it be fixed with like, 2 row of codes or something? maybe it's harder so i should stfu, but otherwise, it's the general unpolishness of many little aspects that still disturbs me.

With all ports open and getting 20% progress in 30 mins on one pc I had to torrent the patch. My other pc, for kicks, I let download off the 'official' updater. Roughly 1.5 hrs of downloading I was sitting at 99.5%. 30 minutes later I was still sitting there. Another 10 minutes I'm still sitting there. Finally I torrent it and download at a decent speed of 950kB/s.

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills!

[Cureslime]

Ragequit and uninstalled yesterday. Remembered that I should hand out my stuffs first so tried reinstalling today. Patcher won't patch of course (even with all ports open etc.) After 4 hours it finally made it to 97.3, where it stuck for 2 hours. At 97.3% i just downloaded the patch directly and the patcher is still stuck at 97.3%.

Will be fun seeing what happens when 1.18 is delayed until September. I won't ever be buying another online S-E game, that's for sure.

Why does everyone use thier damn updater anyway when you all know its complete shit. Save yourself the trouble and go straight to the torrent file in your directories and download it efficiently.

Is what I'm doing from now on. Only reason I used the updater was because when I started playing again at the end of last month it actually worked fine on both my pcs. I think that maybe the problem is they only allow a small(couple hundred?) of connections at a time to update? Or maybe once they hit a certain number it just blows the hell up?

Crafting takes forever with the retarded animations. It's already taking forever with 5-10 processes, do you really have to add in an extra 30 sec from all the animations in between? Also, crafting menu still lags. Not like at release, but the lag still sucks hardcore.

[Baelari]

I still can't use the arrows to control the camera, and targeting is still terrible. This game makes me want to punch puppies.

I see this crap all the time from XI players. And while keybinding options are unarguably limited and terrible... I wish people would post stupid shit like this in the community of ANY OTHER GAME. Just to see how badly theyre laughed at for even wanting to do such a thing. Keyboard turners are already the universal noob, now this nig wants to put the keyboard-turner bindings a good 10 inches away from '1'.

[Vuitton]

the mouse is actually pretty nice for controlling the camera in xiv. i mostly use a game pad, but switch to the mouse when running around long distances.

[jwang]

I don't understand why people don't like using WASD for movement and numpad for camera. Quick access to number hotkeys with left hand, and camera control with your right, along with quick switch to mouse when needed.
