I wish they would just take gear durability out the game. There's nothing more annoying than having to track down weavers and leatherworkers and offer them gil that they don't need just to repair your shit.

I guess it wouldn't be so bad if I had an extra retainer to put all my gear on with that repair icon they talk about.

Personally, I despise gear durability in games. However, I'm sure it's not going to be done away with, so I'd prefer that the wear rate were reduced to the point where it takes a solid day of a single activity (fighting/crafting/gathering) to bring any piece down to 50%. The whole discipline concept about Leeroy described him simply hammering out the dents in his armor/weapons at the end of the day. He wasn't stopping every 30 minutes to repair his busted ass sword.

I play with broken gear most of the time. I can repair my own tools and weapons (except my rank 42 GLD tool so I use my 22 more than it) but the broken crafting gear is very noticeable. In total I have about 15 piece of gear that I need to bug weavers and leatherworkers with. If I wanted to repair that shit as soon as it breaks I'd find myself doing it every other day. It's bad enough doing it once a week right now.

I've seen many people offer crystals or shards instead of gil.

Macro'ing in Pierce for LNC is bugged. I can not do it via any of these commands (## being whatever slot number I assign to):

/eaction ## Pierce

/eaction ## "Pierce"

/eaction ## Pierce main

/eaction ## "Pierce" main

And yes, only trying this while on LNC.

I'm starting to have Lone Wolf flashbacks... one of the rank 40 botany leves is in an area above Camp Iron Lake (which is annoying in itself without teleporting) that is infested with Kobolds. While not as bad as the lone wolves (unavoidable), if you happen to have one walk close to you while logging, you will have to run away while avoiding a crap load of other Kobolds. If the leve didn't reward so much skill, I probably wouldn't even bother unless the reward was worth it.

A whole 1k people on the server, and it can't keep up fast enough to show the aggressive mobs in the region I just zoned into? WTF seriously...

Here's a complaint, FFXIV blows.

[Arximiro]

The repair shit needs to go, and bring back useful +1's or explain wtf these stars are doing beside DEF, MG. DEF, and EVA.

[Grey Jorildyn]

We're not allowed to know. It's all a big secret like FFXI was!

I can already tell you what stars are doing.

Let N be the number of stars, and let S be the value of a stat written on your item's display. Then your modified stat is S + Floor[S/10]*N

Example: A Birdsbeak Hammer has 22 Craftsmanship.

1 Star : Craftsmanship = 22 + Floor[2.2] * 1 = 24
2 Star : Craftsmanship = 22 + Floor[2.2] * 2 = 26
3 Star : Craftsmanship = 22 + Floor[2.2] * 3 = 28

It sucks how the HQs don't give anything on the stats under the line, because on a lot of gear that's where the useful stats are. Take rings for example, why do you care that you get a star next to the 3 defence? It's an extra DEX or whatever that you want from it. It makes the HQ rings almost useless.

Yea it would be nice if the formula were S + max(Floor[S/10],1)*N

[Sephiroth]

Well my point was more that all the stats should get the HQ boost not just the defence/evasion/whatever. The whole item should just get stars instead of certain stats. HQ crafting/gathering gear (except tools) and rings are no better than NQ right now. No one fights in crafting/gathering gear so you don't get any benefit from the defence/mag. defence/evasion and resilience being higher.

[aru]

I never bothered to look to see for myself but I heard that HQ gear also has increased durability. Can anyone confirm?

[Ezekial]

this game sucks.

[TStupified]

I've played many games and rarely lost my nerves as badly as with this game sometimes, especially the randomness of crafting gets to my nerves quite often.

One example here; made like 30 Iron Ingots @ ARM24 with no botches and came to the conclusion that it is an easy synth, then dinged 25 and started failing the synth like a fucking maniac, botching like 10 ingots in a row, seeing every fucking unstable elemental there is during those synths, I just wanted to shove my head through my monitor, but just decided to log out of the game and do something more fun, like pulling my fingernails off with a pair of pliers. And it's not the first time shit like that happens.

[Ezekial]

To be perfectly honest, if this game wasn't of it's 3rd "free(lol)" month of play it would be dead.

[Riposte]

Random bullshit isn't a complaint.

[Drakath]

The rank 46 main scenario quest... Hooooly fuck is this the most annoying garbage yet
