FFXIV Random Speculation/Question Thread XI: "How you liking that Beta Phase 5?"

[Fanfon]

Does uTorrenting it not work anymore? Or is my internet being a twat.

[Hyan]

Are you just using some bullshit math you pulled out of your ass?

They said there'll be VO's every 3 months like in XI currently.

Of course that doesn't rule out the possibility that the release isn't a "VO" and we might get something earlier than that.

But December would make the most sense at this point. Take that as you will.

[Achitophel]

I don't know about all of you, but if SE doesn't plan to start rolling out worthwhile changes (not bug fixes) until 3 months.. i don't know how many ppl will still be left. I sure as hell wont

Same.

I did a very basic search and didn't see it mentioned. Has there been much/anything mentioned about http://www.ffxivorigin.com/marketplace/ ? I just came across it and it seems if a lot more people would use it, it could be nice to find specific things instead of searching through every retainer for what you need.

[Sephiroth]

So market ward stalls cost 500 gil per day. Do you need gil on your retainer to pay this or is it taken from your character's money?

[Biggie]

Give it a day or two for the lodestone site to update. If you can search your name on lodestone, but Enjin can't, your screwing something up.

I can search my name on lodestone but does not work on Enjin. I have tried with several of linkshell mates also. Not really sure what I could be screwing up lol not that hard.

EDIT: Also just tried with 2 people that have sigs already on this forums, same thing Char not found. I did get it to work with one person. Seems everyone i try on Mysidia, it does not work.

Did skill ups from leves get seriously boosted today? edit: False alarm, just happened to pick one that was giving out way too many points for the difficulty.

[el_tio]

What's the meaning or purpose behind "exchanging" leves?
I got the choice to do so once I had completed 4 battle leves and went to pick a gather one. Game asked me if I wanted to "exchange" some of my completed Leves with the new one, to unlock additional rewards. Got the option to pick 1+ between those 4 I completed but didnt really understand what it was all about.

Is this a way to encourage players to mix battle/farm/craft leves maybe?

Hum, I think it was just a way SE could add more menus. They get their sick rocks off on making players go thru menus.

Actually, it's their weird way of limiting leves--you can pick up however many leves but can only exchange 8 and there's an 8 limit to how many you can hold. The more you exchange / higher level / if they match te new one you're picking up amps up the reward. Tho I haven't seen a non-item leve suddenly reward items after exchanging.

[Crizto]

What are Behests and how do I do them? Are they just random Leves that you do with the Battlewardens every hour? Do they count towards your 8 leves per 36 hour?

Yes and no.

[Dakana]

How do you get a 2nd retainer? I need one just to sell things

[Katlan]

supposed to be able to buy extra's for 1$ per month. But as of yet its not an option

[Sephiroth]

What does the message "This synthesis requires a large accommodation" mean?

[Dakana]

supposed to be able to buy extra's for 1$ per month. But as of yet its not an option

Are the people with 3 retainers just getting 3 extra characters then? I've seen 3 retainers standing together with names like Foo Fooo and Fooooo

[Lucavi]

Whoa, Dak. Long time no see!

On-topic, that idea wouldn't work, Ksandra, because some people will want 3 retainers to dump one in each city.

[Insanecyclone]

No way to turn rain/dust all that off? They lag me to hell

[Cureslime]

Boo people have finally discovered sheepland on my server. Got all my jobs to 8 there before it was ruined at least.

[Drakath]

Anyone else unable to log into the Selbina server?:S

[Chastiti]

Yeah, I just got kicked out of Selbina just before I was about go exp after farming wind shards all day. - -

[Cureslime]

Maybe server problems are why there are only 350 people on my server right now. Was wondering about that.
