  • EDIT: Formatting fixed.  Yay computers > phones. @MasterSr - sorry if there are typos - at a baseball game and posting between innings on my phone! That's a very difficult question to answer since they're very different games in a lot of ways…
  • @Eridanix - just to add to what Etra said (which as of now in the beta is pretty spot on), if you take part in crafting or gathering (well, not botany and mining since those are boring currently IMHO), you can easily be busy for hours.  If not, as i…
  • Originally posted by eburn Lack of PVP is my only prelaunch gripe before I heard about the combat and the quest / leveling system as it is. Which I think are really key components to any game entering the MMO market. The only metaphor I can com…
  • Originally posted by haibane I just have one question about classes that wasn't mentionned: is there, like in FFXI, "synergy" classes that you unlock after lvling this or that class enough (like for example Paladin which was if i remember Fighter…
  • @Kordac - Imported from Canada...?  MOVING ON.   1) Whole-heartedly agree about western companies just veiling the grinding.  I love seeing people other than me say this.  It makes my inner cheeky child happy. Though I think spending nearly a…
  • @eburn - I apologize for the tl;dr yet again.  I enjoyed FFXI, so some things some people hate are things I rather enjoyed (case & point: I love international servers, but I also speak more than one language and sleep weird hours).  Some of the …
  • Originally posted by grapevine That's because they've seen it.  Sorry, but you are over hyping what most (who have seen/played) aren't interest in, because its got so many bad and antiquated design elements. To each their own, but I still th…
  • Originally posted by Kordac I'm also confident that even if the games ships in a bug free state a lot, if not the majority, of people that try it simply won't like FFXIV due to it's nature and mechanics but that was the same with Final Fantasy XI.…
  • @Sudo - sorry, I think part of my explination was lost in the rample.  So currently (at least as far as I can tell) there is the standard action bar 1 through 0, then you can also click down the arrow key so there are essentially 3 different stocks …
  • Ohhh okay, sorry for the confusion!  To date I haven't bumped into any NPC quests like the useless ones in FFXI, and I've talked to a lot of NPCs.  They might exist in retail, but as far as I know they don't exist in beta.  I read in an interview th…
  • @ Doomedfox - So there are currently 3 main different types of quests I've seen so far.  There may be more at release since Squenix said beta is for testing the system rather than the content.  I'll go from least exciting to rock awesome.   1) L…
  • Originally posted by GTwander Speak for yourselves. Every time I hear the DeLvl chime a part of my inner child dies. Maybe you think it was a good thing to have that hardcore element, but to me, it was a painful and completely unnecessary setba…
  • Originally posted by Novii DUDE! In fact! I only made this account because I wanted to say thanks for such a great read! You gave me everything I needed to know, and broke so much things down giving me a great deal of things to expect!!! At the sa…
  • Natuxatu~  Back in college my roommates and their boyfriends and I all played WoW together, and even though we all lived together, rather than sharing an account we all ended up having separate accounts so we could play together rather than on the s…
  • Originally posted by Magnum2103 Guildleve limit is 8 (16 actually if you count both regional and local which are on seperate limits) and it's not "daily" it's bi-daily (every 2 days, resets at a certain time on the server). Not sure about the stat…
  • Originally posted by twrule I do have a question though.  Have you gotten a chance to try out the grouping system enough to learn how it works?  I've heard there's some sort of search function where a party leader can specify certain requirements an…
  • Originally posted by Terikan3 Wow dude, it's 2010.  I think 99% of mmo players use the mouse to look around/steer these days.  I can't live without it.  Keep in mind I'm using a laptop, so my mouse = touchpad, which I have to say is not how you …
  • Originally posted by kcypher2000 Nice informative post.  Learned more from reading this then I have from any site so far.  Unfortunately some of the points that you seem to enjoy are lack luster to me.  I can't think of a single good reason to have …
  • Originally posted by shadout00 2). What am I to do besides Leves? Grind? There is absolutely no guidance that I can see besides the tutorial questline that I finished. I am not complaining that I want to be spoonfed and told what to do, I am merely …
