Few days back I finally got to make a character(not on excalibur) and played for a bit. Digging the game so far so I want to switch over to excalibur but I can't seem to because the server transfer tool says I have no characters. This has me pretty flummoxed as I don't know what is wrong, going by what the little mini faq says I seem to be doing everything correctly.

Just wanted to thank everyone for the helpful replies. It sounds like I'm ultimately better off waiting till I upgrade to a ps4 or preferably a new pc. Monk still sounds fun but I'd probably level something else and then use the armory experience bonus. It's a shame they can't use positionals solo, I feel like that would make it hard to get a real grasp of the class until dungeon running. I'm also glad my question spawned a discussion of macros and how they affect GDC, good to know for the future (I like the idea of many buttons over 2 macros anyway but still good info).

Are the videos that Yoship streamed about the process for rebuilding the game still anywhere? Of particular, I'm looking for the one where he apologizes for having to downgrade the graphics, but look at this sweet new eye technology they're putting into the game.

I just saw Joye holding a pistol the cool way in a cutscene. Namely, she had the good /cpose where you hold the gun out like you're prepared for battle (the man one), and not the dumb female one where you're doing what I can only describe as Charlie's Angels but with Downs. Is that a hyur thing or is it just specific to Joye?

Have 600 GP, then go after w/e Cloud banana/Heaven Lemon equivalents are (lowest script giver). then you can guarantee at least 1 turn in per node by doing Discerning Eye + Methodical Appraisal x 2, then Utmost Caution + Modest x 2

Bismarck Extreme is when you start taking long hard looks at your friends who are still wearing Dreadwyrm gear Also you know what? Kind of a bad fight. If they wanna gate poo poo behind a DPS wall great but I swear to god several of the AOEs in that fight hover slightly off the ground making it hard to judge if you've dodged from certain camera angles

Most important is to have at least 600 gp, otherwise it's probably going to be really painful to collect anything that has significant challenge in it (basically anything requiring 450 collection for scrip turnins). It's going to be slow to start out with, but this rotation pretty much maximizes collectability and gives you one gathering attempt at the node. I still use it for high level collection (58, 59) scrip turnins. code:code:I'm using the full trailblazer's set and partially melded HQ i55s for those stats. I also buy Trapper's Quiche from the Ishgard green grocer (there's probably better options if you need perception but it's cheap). staplegun fucked around with this message at 09:35 on Jul 4, 2015 |

Rei_ posted:Bismarck Extreme is when you start taking long hard looks at your friends who are still wearing Dreadwyrm gear I wouldn't mind DPS checks nearly as much if the DPS classes were actually even close in output. I am not talking about WoW style balance issues where Mages being 5% off the top end is an international loving emergency. More like when have tanks literally able to out-DPS classes like MCH. It just seems pretty drat stupid expecting a bunch of random people to be able to be thrown together and somehow beat an arbitrary number when the DPS class output is all over the place in comparison with each other (or in the case of MCH, compared to itself from fight to fight thanks to it's random as all hell proc mechanics on their basic rotation. Even when the results do range from "Meh" to "Why the gently caress are you even trying?" ).

I've just started to level my BOT after not having touched it since 2.0. I'm at 53 now but I haven't got a clue what all this collectible stuff is about. Can I not worry about it until 60 or should I figure it out so it can help me level?

MCH has the same problem pre 2.x DRG's had: they're burst DPS when everyone wants sustained. Except they're worse than DRG's since their basic combo is RNG reliant. I wish Reload had a faster recast/cooldown than it currently does.

It'll be interesting to see how they tweak it, they'll probably have to slightly buff/nerf certain things because just increasing procs or cooldowns is a flat DPS increase, and I expect most of our DPS post-fix is going to come from whatever the hell they do to Gauss Barrel.

My pal xferred from gilg to excalibur at 2pm on a Saturday when there was a 50 person queue just to log on, and the char creation was most definitely locked. edit - just make sure your character is 3 days old and you're golden

Can I not worry about it until 60 or should I figure it out so it can help me level? Lower level gathering collectible turnins (that don't give scrip, only xp) are almost a viable alternative to leves early on. Old world figs, for example, are level 52 and easy enough to meet the minimum requirements to gather 2 or more at a time (assuming you have 600gp) at a high collection. The problem is that the turnin rewards don't scale with level, so when you start to need to do higher level turnins to get the same percent xp to the next level you won't be able to gather as much because the perception requirements will outscale your gear. I think collection for gatherers becomes a lot easier to understand once you get what you can and can't collect and then the terminology they use in the collection minigame. When you collect any item, it's specially flagged as a collectable and becomes uncraftable, unsellable, and unstackable. You can check collectables that Rowena's House of Splendors wants by checking your Timers window (all hers are from unspoiled nodes) and also most everything from Ephemeral nodes (only way to use with aetherial reduction right now). You start collection by fully uncovering an item in a node, enabling the level 50 "collector's glove" ability, then clicking the item to enter the collection window. You then see a window with two new numbers: Wear 0/30, and a rarity progress bar that's 0/1000. Your objective is to get the most amount of rarity (collectability) that you can without exceeding maximum wear or exhausting all of your remaining gathering attempts. If you increase wear past the maximum, your gathering success odds is instantly locked to 10% and you can't use any more appraisal abilities. Rarity can be increased by using one of the three appraisal abilities: Impulsive Appraisal - increases rarity by Perception x.09, increases wear by 10, 30% chance to activate discerning eye, uses one gathering attempt Instinctual Appraisal - increases rarity by Perception x.08 to 1.5, increases wear by 15, uses one gathering attempt Methodical Appraisal - increases rarity by Perception x1, increases wear by 10, uses one gathering attempt (Don't be fooled by the illusion of choice here, methodical appraisal is the only good option here since it doesn't involve rng) The other abilities don't directly affect wear/gathering attempts remaining/rarity gain, but instead affect whatever appraisal you do after activating them. For the most part, the only abilities you should consider using are single mind (next appraisal does not use a gathering attempt), discerning eye (50% rarity gain on next appraisal), and utmost caution (50% reduction of wear on next appraisal). The other two are kind of garbage. So, for Rowena's turnins you try and hit at least the minimum rarity value (called collectability) she wants for the item, then click the collect button to attempt to gather the item (uses your original gathering success odds). You aren't limited to collecting once, you can click collect for as many gathering attempts you have remaining. You can then exchange it to the person in mor dhona for things. Anyway, you should use leves for leveling if you're not saving them for crafters or something. staplegun fucked around with this message at 11:35 on Jul 4, 2015 |

Impulsive Appraisal is currently much better than it sounds. If Impulsive Appraisal procs, it procs Discerning Eye on the hit that procs it as well as the next hit. So it essentially gives you two uses of Discerning Eye if it ever activates. The way I started collected scrip turn-ins at 57 was: Deep Breath Single Mind Impulsive Appraisal x4 If the third Impulsive Appraisal procs Discerning Eye, then you might as well use Methodical Appraisal. If you get multiple Discerning Eye procs, you might even be able to skip the last Appraisal for another gather. This method only requires 500 GP and will pretty reliably get you to 450 collectability for the base level turn-in to start building up more Perception for the higher scrip turnins. This brought me from 57-60 pretty quickly and got me all the scrip gear too.
