I got to the last zone yesterday and  I was wondering when you'd get the Midgardsormr mount. They handled it well. You get a general tour of the zone and then you get the Lv60 MSQ after some heavy plot dumps. I'm a day's worth of hunts away from 60 SMN, and then I can Deathflare forever.

Yeah I think they did a sweet job with Tiamat and explaining the Bahamut situation. Azys Lla is an amazing zone.

New PVP is still going to have GC poo poo because gently caress you. http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/topics/detail/7e3beaf932d55651b2fc21e4ec8cf19aa02499b3

Potato Jones posted:Normal Alex: There are 4 floors, each of which drops various items that can be turned in for loot in Idyllshire. You can only take one piece per floor per week. Each floor drops two chests. Okay, that doesn't sound too bad. I'll probably ignore it for the most part and just be happy if I ever get a useful drop. Thanks for the writeup!

Where does Griffin Crossing (the bridge on which you fight Gilgamesh) lead to?

Right, so giving the game a shot. I cant create anything on Excalibur right now. If I make something at Leviathan, will it be possible for me to transfer if needed? And is it common for EU players to play on US realms?

Until you get to level 50, that is the only benefit of buying the expansion early. Well, that and a cheaper bundle if you buy the base game and the expansion at once.

Rei_ posted:Yeah I was reading the PVP stuff and I was hoping they brought in like a mercenary system like WoW There's a whole bunch of things they need to reconfigure about PVP before it's even remotely on most people's radars: 1) The GC restrictions. 2) The gigantic freaking player numbers needed to start a match. 3) The enormous PVP skill bloat. White Mage has 8 PVP abilities in addition to their regular stuff! Who the gently caress wants to try to manage that? And this is coming from a guy who spent the majority of his time in WoW doing PVP. FF14's current PVP structure isn't at all appealing to me.

Vermain posted:There's a whole bunch of things they need to reconfigure about PVP before it's even remotely on most people's radars: Amen to this. I played WoW PvP at Hero of the Alliance level and yet I still struggle to get into it with this game. The concept of the PvP game itself isn't bad per say but its just all the hoops you have to jump through to get a drat game and be effective is moronic. The GC restriction especially is terrible and should of never left the whiteboard let alone made it in to live. The insane grind to unlock the tiers of skills (and as you mentioned, the insane extra bloat they add) also needs to die in a fire. Like I said, the PvP itself isn't too bad. It's just everything attached to it needs to be torn down and rebuilt with some common bloody sense in mind.

1. GC restrictions aren't any different than faction restrictions in other games except it's easy as gently caress to switch in this game. 2. 24 players is a gigantic freaking number? 3.  It's ok to not like PvP but don't pretend the XIV Frontlines is significantly worse than any other similar scale PvP from another game. Just say you don't like PvP.

Should I bother unlocking this roulette? I've been 50 for like almost 2 weeks and I think I'm almost done the main story quest to start heavensward. So I could do these for exp once I get the expansion I suppose?

So I could do these for exp once I get the expansion I suppose? Two ways to think You can do you other roulettes a each day while questing for exp, then try to get 1-2 high level ones in so you unlock the high level roulette slowly. Or You can say gently caress it because for those 10 dungeons you get 0 exp. If you unlock high roulettes it becomes another roulette that gives you 10% exp each day.

Yeah, HLDR becomes tasty at 60 if you need law, before that it's a bit lackluster. They really need to make it so newbies get exp the first time they run lv50 dungeons IMO.

I am going to give this free trail a whirl and see how it treats me, been wanting to scratch that mmo itch again. Is there anything else BIG I need to know that isn't in the OP before the game finishes downloading? Edit: I when I say finishes I mean in like the next hour and a half finishes.

Belzac posted:1. GC restrictions aren't any different than faction restrictions in other games except it's easy as gently caress to switch in this game. Except that you're talking about 3 factions instead of 2 (WoW, ToR, Rift, etc.), which can make getting groups difficult. I have PVPed in other games and I've never had to wait 40 loving minutes for a queue to pop. Also, games that have factions have already implemented or are working on implementing systems (WoW, ToR) to alleviate any difference in faction counts on the servers/data centers. The GC restriction has been the main thing keeping a lot of people from PVPing in this game, and it has been complained about in both English and Japanese forums, and it's still being ignored. If they keep up this GC poo poo, PVP will have quick queues for about a week or two, and then they'll go to poo poo again.

Of the ones your missing, Haukke Manor (HM) is an awesome dungeon with an awesome atmosphere, Tam Tara (HM) is probably one of the best dungeons they've made with the story around it, Hullbreaker Isle is pretty cool, Amdapor Keep HM is fun, and Wanderer's Palace HM is amazing. I'd say do them, plus it's easy exp to run the roulette on your way to 60.
