Yeah...I really want to punch whoever came up with the relationship between finished items and materials. On blacksmith, I'm kind of stuck on a very slow grind due to not having better tools. I could make better tools - birdsbeak hammers are a level 6 synth, for example. Unfortunately, all blacksmith hammers require Undyed Canvas, which is Weaver 21~30. So Weavers can't level because I can't make them tools, I can't make them tools because I can't make myself better tools and I can't make myself better tools because Weavers can't level. Fucking gg.

With any luck I'll at least be able to make Armorer tools once I hit 15 or so, so I can go back to leveling that. At 12 I'm failing miserably at them.

Edit: Also want to shoot whoever moved the Bronze Wire synth from Armorer to Blacksmith and moved Bronze Rings up to 10 Amorer. Wire->Rings->Chain used to be such an awesome skillup line in the 1-12 Armorer range. They then replaced it with Brass Wire/Rings but, of fucking course, this time the Wire is higher than the rings (even though you use it to make rings), guaranteeing you can't skill up properly on either.

Anyone else continuing to have the glitch where a leve-mob is considered 'already engaged' even though you are the only one who can see it, and you have already hit it a few times?

That shit is driving me insane. Maybe it's because I am on an over-saturated server... but really... this is just bad.

[sruon]

Yeah, happen every other mob...

Hit mob > Mob name is yellow still > Already Engaged > Mob name turns red > Can attack fine

Can take a while to turn red if you're lagging...

This gets me killed on a near daily basis.

Here's a random complaint.
in the starter Uldah quest, you're forced to lose the gladiator fight.
5minute time limit and I had him at 1% within 30seconds, but he wouldn't take anymore damage after that and time ran out making me lose :/
Don;t make me fight if I can't even get the points for my lancer -_-
fuck.. and now some bitch is taking all my credit for fuckin up that Goobue

This is fun as an Alchemist, pelting the gladiator with rocks for 1 point of damage each hit. Then the head gladiator guy basically told me "good job, you should join us" after my awesome display of rock-flinging prowess.

Here's a good complaint: the in-game recipe's don't fucking match every website and database, INCLUDING SE's main one. Rat Fur Shoulder Guards: Very simple. One part rat fur, one part sheep leather strap. Does it work in-game? Nope. No Hempen shirt for me, and I can't report the bug to SE.

You may be doing something wrong, then. I leveled leatherworking up so I could make those should guards. I had no problem making it.

This.

It's fucking unplayable right now.

I'm seriously not doing anything I haven't done for the other 10 levels. Select crafting, put my rat pelt and my sheep leather strap in the box, and hit my main or sub weapon. It constantly says that I cannot make anything with those materials.

What else could it be? Do you want to come on my server and make it for me, so I can continue?

Did you list those materials correctly? It is Rat Fur, not a Rat Pelt (Rat Pelt + Alumen + Formic Acid + Distilled Water).

[Lucavi]

Yes, Rat fur. I spent an hour crafting rat fur JUST for that synth.

Odd. I spent an hour making Sheep Leather Straps yesterday to get my leatherworking high enough to make the Rat Fur. Made the Rat Fur, made the Rat Fur Shoulder Guards, switched to Weaver and made the Hempen Shirt. I don't have any more materials, but I'll see if I can get some and try to make it again.

All they had to do was put different textures in each zone, give them their own name, and they would have tripled the number of zones in the game in Thanalan alone.

Instead it's just 5 enormous, copy-pasted regions.

I agree, id prefer smaller zones with more variation then large ones that are the same all the way through. Also does anyone else feel cheated that this 'seamless world' has zones at all?

The games pretty shit, I'm playing atm because I'm on a friends disk with his guest code, and 30 days free. Doubt l'll stay after that. So many basic things missing that are too numerous to list, I can't believe SE expects people to pay to play this.

I'm sorry, I figured the QUOTED portion was easy enough to figure out the reply but if you insist I explain my comment I will: IN CASE you haven't noticed, a very large portion of the post CE release bitching is from people who PAID for it KNOWING what it was like. I guess that's too much for you, Mr. lolsubstantialheadstarttheJPsaregetting

even the bashing Mio and Hyan has been done to death in those very same posts.

You asked for it, so here I am!

They never said the world would be seamless. The said the zones would be seamless within a region (Region = Thanalan, La Noscea, etc.), which they are. Have you ever noticed that when you run down the narrow paths that connect larger chunks of a zone, other players' names are grey? Those are the zone lines. The zones of Thanalan are Central/Northern/Western/Eastern/Southern. The zones of Coerthas are Eastern Highlands/Eastern Lowlands/Western Highlands/Central Highlands/Central Lowlands. So on and so forth.

Should I feel cheated because they didn't deliver something that wasn't promised? Not really. Should I feel a little disappointed that there's no gradual climate change between a dense forest and an arid canyon? I am. I've agreed with so many legitimate complaints... and I'm only noted for debating with people who are complaining about shit that makes no sense to expect because people are just looking for a game that feels/works the same as a re-skinned XI, and love to boast how they are quitting/not playing/etc because of it. Good for you! Make a difference!

I can live with a lot of the complaints and work aruond it while still having fun. But there is this ONE central point that just kills my fun. It´s the complete and utter randomness of the Jobskillups. You basically get EXP in proportion to some random damage you deal. So heavy hitters just roll them in - any jobstyle based on support or teamwork gets jack. You are basically forced to play like a COMPLETE DICK to get the best Skillpoints.

Do Supportspells with Conjeurer? Heck no CHAINSPELL THE NUKES. There is no simple nuking.. all the randomness if that 1-2 nukes per fight might count or if the game thinks your 30 dmg Spirit Darts are so much more Skillfull than your 300 damage nukes. I play an MMO to play WITH people... not to find out that just soloing your way gets you to hog most points.

[Trocian]

What, you don't get skillpoints for buffing/healing others?

That's retarded.
