Truth posted:And there are no free transfers? Nope. As noted in the OP, the only ways to get onto Excalibur are to try at a lucky off-peak time or do a transfer (which are never free).

Truth posted:And there are no free transfers? Nope. We have paid transfers but you're better off being patient and trying for a few days. Plus nobody in this thread can agree weather or not paid transferred are subject to the same character creation restrictions so you're better off just saving your money and your time and being patient.

There need to be more things to dump poetics on. I'm constantly getting capped and all there is to buy is the ironworks gear that I don't want/need.

Even if there were free transfers it's not like they would let you transfer ONTO one of the most populated servers in the game.

How is ffxiv? When I left the game the end-game consisted mostly of running the Wandering Palace dungeon about 1,000 times for gear to even have a remote hope of ever raiding. I've heard it's much better lately, but as a general rule, Asian MMOs are extremely, bizarrely, awfully grindy. So I wouldn't be shocked if you had to run dungeons, say, 500 times just to get into end-game. But then again, that's kind of how Asian MMOs roll, as a rule.

Currently, the best way to gear up is to collect a unique currency by running daily dungeon roulettes. The gear you get from that can be upgraded by spending another unique currency that you get through daily mob hunts. There are ways to poopsock those currencies, but only crazy people do that. The newest raid is going to be released soon, but getting good gear is really easy and fun if you do your dailies.

So I haven't played this since release, going through the story on my marauder and I just got to the haukke manor part, and going by the spoilers the next dungeon after that is brayflox. Are there any boss gimmicks or speedrun pack skips or any other stuff people generally expect the tank to know/do that I definitely wouldn't know about? If not, when does that kind of stuff start happening? I don't want to gently caress it all up.

Honestly, just ask the party. The community in this game is pretty good, they'll normally explain mechanics to you if you ask.

So I wouldn't be shocked if you had to run dungeons, say, 500 times just to get into end-game. But then again, that's kind of how Asian MMOs roll, as a rule. FF14 pretty much bears no resemblance to Asian MMOs you're thinking of. Nor has it ever really. Even in the bad old days of Wanderers Palace and Amdapor Keep FF14 did not even exist in the same solar system as, say, Lineage 2. I sincerely doubt you've ever actually played one if you're making that comparison. These days the game works broadly like this. There are a bunch of dungeon roulettes. You've got Low Level Dungeon Roulette which is a random levelling dungeon, high level dungeon roulette is level 50 post game 2.xx cycle dungeons, expert roulette which is whatever the most current dungeons are, and also main scenario roulette and trials roulette. All of these roulettes give bonus tomestones for running them once a day. If you want more than that you can grind expert dungeons. An entry level set of gear is 3500 Law tomestones and you can get about 400 to 500 a day doing your roulettes. You can do the math. Getting basic functionality does not take long. Plus, the roulettes have the added benefit of keeping the queues populated for newbies. It's a very effective system overall.

There are several things that are bizarrely, awfully grindy but all of them are optional. If all you want to do is see the story, run some dungeons and punch raid bosses you won't run into any of the really terrible grinds. Now, if you get involved with crafting, golden saucer, pvp, or the relic questline on the other hand...

Unless they tie it in more with red scrip gear and mastery books, it's going to be pretty ignorable I suspect.

I transferred to balmung, which I think could possibly be more populated than excal, without worrying about the restrictions, so I dunno where the whole "you can't transfer to full realms" thing is even coming from? I can't seem to find a reference to it at all in the information page they have on the site ( here )

That's because the point wasn't to make it so people can't omnicraft, but make it so people don't have to. The specialist skills are to make up for not having cross classes.

Doing your least annoying roulettes (2 dungeons and a boss fight) will get you enough endgame currency for an accessory or a small piece, and almost enough for a big piece or a weapon. You can easily cap out a class in a week without grinding just by doing a couple dungeons a day.

Just wait until you get to T9, its probably the most mechanically intense fight in the game (outside of savage). You should also probably look up a guide for all the coil fights as even outgeared and nerfed, they are still technically raid content and are typically not meant as face-roll casual easy.

Holyshoot posted:You mean the one guy a while back that couldn't and it was because his character was less then 3 days old? It's also kind of bad about inventory space management. It's workable if you're like me and focus on only a couple of classes but if you want to do more (particularly crafting/gathering) you'll quickly find yourself up against the space limit. This is particularly frustrating when you consider the fact that you need to keep a lot of old gear for glamour purposes.

So those crazies with 10 level 100s all pumping out garrison poo poo all day got hit hard. And if you think it was anything but Blizzards way of making the token harder to get you're naive as gently caress.
