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

[Jinfire]

what rare and hard to get items do you have? I can understand you saving items to be crafted and whatnot. But I think the only hard to get items are the items that you need a decent level craft to make which alot of people are said level yet. I'm just curious what items people consider... "rare"

[Sephiroth]

What I currently consider rare are the items in recipes that can't be bought and/or difficult to find in bazaars. The cock block items in certain recipes. They aren't rare as in few people have them. Shit like red landtrap leafs, soiled femurs etc. I'm not NPCing things like that and nor do I want to sell them because it will be a pain getting them back when I need them.

So you're whining because you're essentially a packrat? lol I'm up to Rank 30 on PUG and have 4 crafts above 15 and my inventory space is just fine. Pick and choose whats worth keeping, otherwise you're just 'hoarding for hoardings sake'.

Sure this has been asked before, but 13001 lobby server error = servers are down? Checked with 3 sites and they all said mine was down. Looking for a 4th opinion, in case its a problem in my end. So much bullshit just to fucking get this game running. Hope its worth the hassle.

Lodestone will usually have the info on maints

[Despain]

Alright thanks dudes. I ran into so many issues just to install the game and was quite proud of myself for being able to fix all of it without asking anyone questions. I had a gut feeling that this meant maintenance, however it didn't hurt to ask just in case. x.x;

[Saroyan]

Of course they have emergency maintenace when I have a day off work...

[Drakath]

Do the extended drawings exclusively to the area outside Limsa and Coerthas (if you've been there) lag anybody else? I'm from Uldah, but I was adventuring around and found in certain areas in Outer Limsa and Coerthas, I lag noticeably due to extended drawings. Doesn't happen anywhere else.

If you really are level 30, have you checked if you can get the new missions @ 30? or perhaps the second tier of class quests? I'm about to hit 26 and no luck on new ones yet.

[Meko]

Anybody playing now? How's the server lag now that full retail is out? Any difference?

Read the thread?
Or do I have to repeat once again that I am doing what you just said.
Perhaps you can explain to me how you're finding all these items that you need for crafting that rarely appear in bazaars, since you seem to be NPCing everything you get.

I'm more impressed how you managed to get to rank 30 on your PUG however than your awesome luck when it comes to finding crafting materials you NPCed a day or two earlier. I think you're just trolling.

If expressing my hopes for more retainers in the very near future is whining then so be it.

I'm hoping they'll fix the server lag. I assume it's server side as it is very inconsistent for me.

Yeah I think so too, since a few min before servers go down the menu response becomes instant, no horrible retainer lag, no selling lag etc - it runs perfect since so many people have logged off lol.

Go to an empty ward and craft. Its like paradise. It lets you know what the game -could- be like.

Never tried that, but it sounds awesome, might start doing that.

[Lucavi]

Its what I do for just about every craft that I don't need guild support for.

[Redflame]

There is a "bug" which allows you to pop your retainer outside the usual place. Simply lag yourself by using full upload/download speed then auto-run toward ,let's say, the center of the ward and when you are at the edge of the retainers area click "summon retainer". Depending on how laggy you are , you will keep running until the server finally responses to you then your retainer will pop.

I summoned my retainer at the center of the ward where you are suppose to teleport out.

[miokomioko]

I saw someone's retainer standing in the Adventurer's Guild, where you would summon them at the Inn to trade items to... is it normal to see someone else's retainer here?
