Quick, call people who disagree with you trolls, white knights, SE defense force, corporate apologists, etc. You'll sleep better at night.

Would love SE if they would fix the fucking phantom exp issue where it says you got skill during the fight but get nothing at the end of the battle.

**Ksandra** · 2010-09-29 22:48

my auto translates randomly stop working. ie. if I have a square maple shield (checked it and everything possible) and I type "squa" then tab, doesn't show up on the list.

I have to completely log out of the game and come back to get it working again. I hate that.

This is worse then getting no Skill from the mob, because when RNg finally does favor u it's like a blessing... And then u see u get no Skill lol

Just spent an hour checking every god damn bazaar in Uldah Market Wards. To my complete lack of surprise I didn't find what I was looking for. I really don't understand how they ever thought this was a good idea.

**Priran** · 2010-09-29 23:31

so I'm doing a leve in ul'dah (reward was a pair of pants) and it's one of those leves where it says you have to kill x amount of mobs but when you get to the last one it runs away and then you have to kill the one that ran away plus reinforcements.

so I get to the reinforcements part and as usual, die after killing the one that ran. except apparently, during the time it took me to return to camp and run back to where the mobs were, they took the opportunity to unionize and go on break.

I found them after searching for like 15 minutes, about 4 grid squares east of where they were supposed to be. I have no fucking clue why, there must have been something interesting in the black shroud

so yeah, please fix that

I've had this happen as well. It's incredibly frustrating, kind of like when you can't find your keys and you try to retrace your steps and you still can't find your keys and then you find them and they were in your dog's food bowl and you have no idea why.

Did you pick up any of the moko grass, walnuts, or marmot pelts while you were in there? I heard it makes a nice stew.

(Thankfully, market wards will be less gay in about a week) But yes, I had that problem days ago, I wanted some of that body leather gear, only to find out no one was selling it. Teleported to limsa, only to find out that the one person who did have it, was selling it for like 50k, and my merchant intuition told me that guy was a load of chocobo shit. People who are filling marked wards with useless crap like walnuts (which are so easily farmable) are annoying. Luckily again, there will be a specific ward all for their wastes of space.

Dunno about less gay, ppl can still only have one bazaar. So if you have 3 weapons you sell and the rest footwear (or w/e), u need to choose one ward for all those items. And your still gonna be searching each bazaar one by one... and prolly miss more then 40 bazaars because they are all crammed into a 4 by 4 cubical

@ priran: happens to me when I die also. They just randomly start roaming around

They want to allow people to be able to employ more than one retainer, to help not have that dilemma. But, you are indeed right about the cramped spaces. Everybody starts to blend into one another and then I start singing along to the elevator music, only to realize that I could have easily turned down the volume, but lacked the necessary willpower to do so.

I wish SE would let me spend my in game money on items.

**miokomioko** · 2010-09-30 02:51

Spend 400,000 of it on a shield.

After seeing significant changes between beta phases, the step from OB to retail was rather underwhelming. Basically all the whiners got their hardware mouse and that's it. Oh, and my client only crashed once yet, and that was during a server crash.

This problem might be cosmetic. _MIGHT_. In beta, it sometimes took a minute until the messages showing your skill points gained actually showed up.

Nope it's totally borked, if your party is bigger than two people then people are gonna get screwed, I checked it all through-out my 5man grind party today and got screwed out of atleast 1.5levels worth of class exp in our 4hour period. I am gonna guess it's because a mob caps out at 500skill points w/o the guardian invoke buff and there is just not enough skill to go around to the entire party.

I would say 80-85% of the time the axe skill that i got overtime while in a battle did not show up @ the end of the battle when the mob died and when checking if i actually got the exp after a battle it happened on or a few mins after it still wasen't there. I am hoping we get a fix for this really soon and not at the first patch in a few weeks.

**Liminality** · 2010-09-30 05:17

To basically recap on what people said way before me... the crafting I find VERY tedious. I don't find doing Weaving (Clothcraft) that difficult, but I noticed this on the Lodestone:

Issue Regarding Item Synthesis 9/29/10

How can you honestly wait to tell us much LATER after maintenance that synthesis is broken and you have yet to fix it? I did read their update on the Market Wards and such. That might make it easier, but I still want an AH! Also, every job seems to slow way way down after 10. I feel like I ran into a wall ><;

**SephYuyX** · 2010-09-30 08:58

Why is it that I cant have more than one stack of the same crystal/shard?
I have no idea how long ive been sitting on one stack of fire, ice and earth x999, and not getting any more.
