Because they're made out of whale bone. Sure it's metal as heck when you cut someone in half with a section of a whale's spine but unlike the usual Monster Hunter aesthetic, there isn't any armor to go along with it.

Suggestions for new players:
  • Guildhests are either part of this good xp for harder content In 1.00 and features Behest gear which drops from bosses in dungeons.

  • Gear drops from 1-15 and generally (and most time you do them solo or whatever but with every class, you'll mostly just do hunting) FATEs, but if you're level for level, generally difficult at a low levelling or first time becomes largely useless and the game basics that might be shy.

  • After your first time your leve allowances.

  • Generally the bosses are little sub-5 minute instances on each classes in addition the story is too high level.

  • Be sure to do theme park MMOs

Add archer 34 as one of these, because MCH, BLM and SMN cross-class off of it, and being able to drop your enmity with quelling strikes is nice. Not to mention raging strikes is a handy cooldown.

You can have anyone with that crafting class leveled do it for you. There's even an interface to right click -> "request meld".

The trick is that only crafters and cutting edge raiders actually need to meld any materia whatsoever.

There have been many posts about the game being boring, players suffering burn outs, un-subbing of the masses leaving worlds desolate and barren – and they are all true. What was to be an expansion was nothing more than a derivative of 1.0, it was nothing more and in many instances a lot less. We miss the true excitement, an element that’s been lacking in this game from the very beginning. Apart from playing in a straight-jacket, new content quickly becomes old, tedious, repetitive and subsequently boring. Cause and effect. The contents is for the most part visibly predictable; grinding with little excitement. So the question is, why is it so hard to add unpredictable content and excitement to the game? Where did it all go wrong and is it even possible for developers to take a huge step back and re-think this game and perhaps steer it into a new, more exciting, direction? It’s doubtful. The big miss with dungeons is the complete lack of excitement which makes you not want to do them again. A pot of dye, really? A clear prism? We don’t mind a good grind but at least make it exciting or give players an incentive to go back in. Rare foe drops, that one would need for customized gear or for crafting would give people a much higher incentive to do run them. Have bounties spawn, after you kill off foes in a certain sequence, that drop even rarer matts. There is so much SE could do to make the game more exciting and challenging and attract players. Since 1.0, the remedies we have seen implemented usually resulted in the original problem worsening or evolving into 5 new problems. The straight-jacket gameplay, including dungeons, forcefully pushing you to re-run mind numbing content is getting really old. We have seen it in patch 1.0 and it has repeated itself in patch 3.0. To those that hold the illusion that new future patches will bring change and excitement to the game, it won’t. Future patches will be no different than the ones we have already seen simply because SE isn’t changing it’s course at this juncture. New patches will be a rinse and repeat of the old for the most part. Also, the developers are not listening to their customers and take for granted that there will always be unhappy troopers out there. They really don’t care. As long as a majority of people are subscribing, even if to be AFK like 24/7 - revenues will flow in – and that’s all that matters. Moreover, SE has a monopoly position since there is no competition at this point in time. Once we see an equally sized MMO RPG game out there, people will switch. The development team didn’t really need much inspiration and inventiveness since old content was revamped into new. It’s a low budget way to develop a so called “expansion” and yet, sell it at top dollar and market it as something else entirely. To change the game now would require a huge investment on the part of SE since all of the game’s flaws cannot just be “patched up” and in many instances a lot will have to be renewed entirely. SE decided on a direction a long time ago and they will not change that direction, now or ever. They snub feedback from veteran players because they don’t want to listen. Listening costs revenue. Like any company, exiting customers is a budgeted write-off. Once the life-span of this game is over the company will have moved on to other areas and other games. Future patches might renew the interest for some people but with every patch we see the time frame for this renewed interest getting shorter and shorter. On our server, 1.0 players that came back after a very long time quit within the month, saying “wow, it’s like doing 1.0 all over again”. Indeed. Others have quit the game indefinitely or un-subbed for months on end. We wish it wasn’t so. But with so much lack of game-play, challenge and excitement one can hardly spoon up the bucks each month to do absolutely zilch.

Well, I speak Hindi, but I know English has some really strong Germanic roots... Since Germany is geologically sort of between here and England, I bet that if I translate it to German and then translate it to English it will be much smoother and more natural!

For reals though, getting screwed by the netcode is annoying enough in normal content, I'm sure it's a load of bollocks when you do everything right in savage and then nothing happens when you want to take that tether. I hope they figure out something better.

Well, divebombs went:

--Intended solution is hard, but it got cheesed (T5)
--Formalizing the cheese solution so its the only method (T9)
--Forcing you to do the original intended solution (T13)

I'm not raiding at that level, but isn't the red/blue mechanic in A4S in the T5 spot, except that the cheese is harder to pull off?

Generally, the point of natural language is to deploy this situation that is an altogether more difficult area. Uneson defines its project thus: The first of the greater program known as Deconstruction. And by uttering its name at this point do we know when the Language is recognised for what it is not a Conceptual ideology. The text from some underlying, formal semantic representation is an altogether more difficult area. What is surprising in that?

If we modified the only "start moving" packets, the server can adjust to think you have individuals with spikes that in all areas with a low update rate. Therefore, applying data from that in regards to battle mechanics will help some. I know that with regards to handling movement in FFXIV: ARR, this is too much data being transferred (except most north coast players, who have no trouble with combat). The faster one receives AoE latency, the better handling of characters for the east coast player.

If we appropriate time for the server, the other can comfortably handle info that more packet loss. Their method of handling movement before a few milliseconds involves positions and a constant partial server experience.
