How bad is it running today?

· Also it's not about the money...it's about being extremely disappointed that you can't play.

I don't think the $$ is an issue for most.

I don't care about the free 7 days, I care about changing my Elven to a Human :evil: But I have to wait tell my free time is up cause they wont give you the veteran rewards tell they charge you...

looks like the server issues are mostly alleviated... logged in to adamantoise.... a completely jam packed server... at 6PM prime time.... no queue, no issues. sounds like the problems are behind us finally. i recommend everyone check this game out once digital sales are opened up again.Geminon

I found a copy at a local gamestop today.

Cool, I hope to start playing today.

Mine is getting an error while downloading the patches. :(

Think those are only for EU accounts, or so that's what I've been told.

[QUOTE="MBirdy88"][QUOTE="Advid-Gamer"] Nice, I am only level 6 at this point, I dont have the stamina I used to for long play sessions, but I want the fck out of this starting area its boring. I am a mmo vet so I know game sucks early on people in chat tell me not to rush it because there is a good story there but Im not seeing it yet. I guess I m the type of player that likes being high level and doing end game, these find and fetch quests bore me. I am going to stick it outArthas045

Lvl 32 is when it gets real, that's when Brayflox's dungeon happens and needless to say....it can be a pain in the ass, then there's ST (Sunken Temple) at 35 which I've yet to complete.

Created a gladiator last night but didn't make it out of the basic training quest...was late and I was really tired.

Damn that training is long....

[QUOTE="Arthas045"][QUOTE="MBirdy88"] Yea, standard affair there, the classes, story and dungeon difficulty start to pick up after 30 or so. you will find the game ridiculsouly easy/typical until later levels by the producer's design. He designed it around the concept that there will be a lot of newcomers to MMORPG's because of the console situation so everything low level is design to gradually show newcomers how to play (more so than most MMOs). You may also find that your class lacks "buttons to press" early on this is VERY true. with jobs and ectra classes though that changes.Ballroompirate

I'd say the lvl 30 stuff is simple compared to Garuda or the lvl 47+ dungeons.

Garuda was pretty hard because of the one hit KO attacks and the undodgable one she uses.

The super version of her is more of a nightmare.

The lvl 47 dungeon Aurum Vale was the first dungeon to tax me as a healer.

It is literally a healers first nightmare.

The later dungeons really require teamwork.

[QUOTE="Ballroompirate"]

[QUOTE="Arthas045"] I agree with this the game starts to take you in an uphill climb starting about the 3rd dungeon. I heard at 30 is where it really cranks up the heat. I cannot wait actually I am 23 Archer now and can't wait to get a Bard going.... I noticed that when you switch classes say Pugilist for example you get XP bonuses to help you level faster.RyviusARC

Bard is a confused job. It queues as a DPS, it has a healer limit break. Its almost like it wants to be a support but theres no definitive support role in the game yet. It does have the ability to cast anything while moving and even facing the wrong way, so if you like mobility, its by far the best. IxX3xil3d0n3XxI

Um Bard is considered one of the most important spots in a grp right behind tank and healer. You must have Bard confused with Summoners cause they are the worst class in the game atm but it's not cause they suck or do little dmg, it's the fact there's a 30 dot cap on mobs which makes SMNs useless in large fate boss battles and raids if they don't remove the cap when raids are released.

Bard went from a full support/dps with CNJ being the 2nd class required to unlock it but that was removed a week or two before EA to dps/support.

[QUOTE="Geminon"][QUOTE="Arthas045"] Hmm that is very interesting. I was hoping it would queue healer for many reasons, but I am excited about the class. I guess I will see what happens. Ballroompirate

[QUOTE="Geminon"] GL... bard is considered "bad" by most of the population at this point. it has no real role in a party.Geminon

There's a difference between thinking and knowing, and I know you're full of ****, Bards aren't bad. I've seen 0 people complain about them in game, the official forums on the FF14 ARR site, Reddit's FF14 ARR sub forum and Gamefaqs FF14 ARR forum so I have no idea where you get this "majority of people think Bards are bad" cause people are gonna go nuts for trying to have at least 2 bards in a 8 and 24 man with their TP/MP regen songs.

That dungeon has bosses that use large aoe attacks that damage all players and you have to be quick on constantly healing them all while trying to keep yourself and the tank alive.

I love bard because they can give me MP recovery which my White Mage really needs in high lvl dungeons.

Getting decent metacritic, try sticking with it till higher level I guess.

I will say, I like the lack of grind. The fights are over fast for collect X and they do tend to be fairly varied. Still though, prefer the Guild Wars 2 model.

Finally got my Ifrit hard mode weapon :D after.... 18 kills. http://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/character/2229345/MBirdy88

The UI....both in the game and in the armory is so.... so..... Final Fantasy :P

BTW, how's the ARMOUR in this game.  One of the things I love most about MMOs is finding new armour and putting it on the character.

The AF sets are pretty amazing looking, though they wont last very long once you hit to lvl 50, you can also dye armor as long as it's not like the AF armor or part of a set.

The gear starting out is ho hum, but you go through it so fast it doesn't matter. I am level 23 and I feel like my set is starting to look pretty cool.

I'm just not sure what to think of this game yet.

Of course I'm only lvl 5 :P but still....it has not pulled me in just yet.

Finally got my Ifrit hard mode weapon :D after.... 18 kills. http://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/character/2229345/MBirdy88

I got my Ifrit White Mage weapon after the second time of beating Ifrit........but I failed to beat Ifrit 14 times before that because of bad parties.

Oh man that sucks....had that once and it ended up being my DVD drive. Drove me crazy but for some reason it would not read some files.

Anyway, I don't know...maybe create an account and see if there is an option for downloading it?

EDIT let me look after logging in to the site...brb

I have a link in my OP where to download the client.

edit: also use this wiki to learn about the job/class system http://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Jobs
