Don't do your relic, you get free poo poo that drastically out performs it like 5 minutes into HW

Has anybody tried the fishing yet? I'm curious what kind of new fish they added and what the new skills are like.

Yeah, a relic seems a bit out of the way to get a i80/i90 weapon. Stick to the i70 weapon from a FC chest / the market and keep chugging through the story. Hopefully you'll get a better weapon from a quest, worst case is plow through anyways and use other gear to hit i90 by 2.5 so you can do the rest of the story content. Or try to get hooked up to a HW i115 weapon from the trash merchants from somebody who's already in HW. I assume they're level 50 gear.

Is it too late to get early access? And did they make leveling a second job easier? I already did the main storyline on my main but 30-45 was so boring on additional jobs

ghostinmyshell posted:Is it too late to get early access? Not sure about your first question, but 3.0 buffed the XP gains from 30-40 at the very least. Haven't done it yet, but I'm less scared to level other classes now.

ghostinmyshell posted:Is it too late to get early access? For early access you'll need to get your hands on a preorder code. I'm not sure who is still selling them though. Green Man Gaming still talks about a preorder, maybe they'll give a code? They increased the armory bonus from +50% EXP to +100% which should help some. Sounds like there's a deluge of tanks flooding the lower levle instances so if you 're leveling a DPS now seems like a great time to do it. efb, listen to kob for the armory bonus. It is only +100% to lv50, then it reverts back to +50%

Holy poo poo. They made Radiant Shield an AoE party buff! That has serious potential in phases where the tank takes a lot of hits.

ActionZero posted:Holy poo poo. They made Radiant Shield an AoE party buff! I noticed this when doing low-level roulette and bringing out Ifrit since Garuda is less attractive without Contagion (also noticed Bane affecting more than 3 targets). I quite like it, it at the very least makes the skill not totally useless now. It certainly seems like Summoner is leaning towards being able to blast through megapulls efficiently now.

That's reassuring I suppose. Maybe I'll power dork through the patches tonight and tomorrow or something. Can probably cut a couple hours out of the catch-up if you're willing to skip through cutscenes and watch 'em later. Edit: oh god flare what did they do to you

I still don't get people trying to blast through pre HW content to reach the expansion. Isn't it all new to you? Edit: Has anyone ripped some songs from the expansion yet?

pandaK posted:How long would it take me to get to Heavensward? The Excal character creation thing might never be "fixed" at this point because the server is so high-traffic. Nobody really anticipated this, but that's what it is. Also it won't take as long as you think, because the ARR main story now gives tons of experience, so hop on that train with your catgirl

Anybody know if they ever fixed the issue with higher resolutions and the cutscene dialogue window being way to small? I play on a 58inch plasma at 1080p and sit a bit aways from the screen but find I have to sit significantly closer on this game. I find it's much more relaxing to poop in a sock laying down on the couch as opposed to having to sit up. Plzhalp.

I'd assume you can only get the HW cards from TT players in HW content, although if they're ever added to the random card packs then maybe you can get them? The rest of HW content is gated beyond 2.5.5 afaik. If you're not interested in playing an Au Ra then yeah, don't buy HW until you actually need it.

High Level Roulette seems to be 10% of a level. Probably worth doing with armory bonus for future characters, not so much right now for leveling. The plus side is, you can queue with a partial group for it! Which means insta-queues with a tank or healer friend, if you're dps! (now please add this to lldr yoshi)

Also I've been holding off gushing but drat, this expansion really nails the idea of telling a story and delivering a compelling single player experience compared to ARR. The latter patches did a much better job of it, but so far all the single player instances, class quests, and storylines have been great. Even my friend who could barely stand leveling 1-50 in ARR is really digging what HW is doing so far.
