I think the doors themselves count as NPCs and won't open until they "load" which causes that front door to the Ul'dah Adventurer's Guild's door to be welded shut most of the time because of all of the assholes parked on the steps out front.

Hate it. Everything should load before any PCs, period.

Stupid glitch which locks me in Combat mode and won't let me use any actions. Had to run all the way to an area with aggro monsters and get myself killed. Wasn't nice to my guildleve timer.

EDIT: Is "An Imp in Sheep's Clothing" broken?

This happened to me today for the first time. Luckily, I wasn't on a leve and my best course of action was to log out... which was still lame as shit.

Also, I dislike the lack of notification of whether you're under Steadfast or not when on any non-Marauder class. Skull Sunder just got me killed because I forgot to move first to make sure...

Zoning fixes it (like going from Thanalan to The Black Shroud, for example)

[miokomioko]

Looks like it's dying, zoning, and force-disconnecting. All of which can be incredibly inconvenient.

Does zoning end leves? Not that it matters, I rather fail a leve than waste anima lol.

[miokomioko]

I'm 90% sure that leaving a region entirely cancels any active leve... I'm not sure about the invisible zone-lines within a region though.

Another thing that sucks bad is when a significantly stronger mob shares spawns with weaker stuff. I'm happily soloing green/yellow Hoverfly Swarms and Yarzon Bleeders... which happen to share spawns with Plains Footpads... deep red. It starts to get pretty hairy to continue after one of those pops up.

[Sephiroth]

Leves definitely end when you cross the invisible zone lines. I once started a mining leve without my pickaxe on me and I figured I'd run from Drybone to Ul'dah to get one and death port back. The leve ended as soon as I crossed into the Black Brush zone.

Cut shard costs, add in BoE, add rare mat drops for full sets of rank 50 gear and we'll talk about crafting being worthwhile. It's currently not and you're wrong if you believe otherwise. Sorry.

I have a random complaint. Nobody from my guild has been logged in while I've been logged in for the past week and I want to give them my gil before my free trial ends and I go on hiatus. You always complain about being poor! TAKE MY MONEY!

[jPuff]

Well I agree that shard costs per synth are absurd and should be at least halved. Especially considering the price of shards is probably going to double over the next few weeks.

[Sephiroth]

Why would shard costs double? People are starting to break clusters now, I'm expecting prices to drop.

UlDah is the worst fucking place to do leves. Goddamn aggrofuck everything everywhere you need to go and hard as fuckshit mobs on top of that. Wish I would have picked Limsa so I wouldn't have to run there every fucking day jesus christ.

Your choice of starting city means nothing once you finish the first 3 missions or so. No one is forcing you to go back "home" to Ul'dah.

Can I summon my retainer in Limsa? I was under the impression that I could only summon it in my home city. That's pretty much the only reason I run to and fro every day.

[miokomioko]

You can summon your retainer anywhere... unless they are stationed in a market ward. If they are, I think you're restricted to only summoning them in the city they are stationed. You can pull them out and put them in a different city's wards if you please.

I'm from Gridania, but I slapped my retainer in Ul'dah since Gridania is so much further from everywhere else.

[Sephiroth]

I hate Gridania and I hate the yellow that comes with it. I want to change just so I don't have to see that ugly yellow box again.

Well then that's great news. Wish I would have known earlier thank you.

Love the city of Ul'Dah but I still say the enviroment sucks.

[Sephiroth]

Thanalan is my favourite starting region. Never had a problem with the leves there. Nanawa Mines has a couple of difficult ones but so does the other dungeons.

[miokomioko]

It's still nothing compared to the original Emerald Moss Lone Wolf debacle.

[Zisa]

I never touched a rank 10 Gridania leve solely for that reason. I assume they've moved them, as I haven't really been around Emerald Moss except to turn in a local leve.
