I'd play one but all the nose options are terrible and it bugs me. Also being tall is the worst since it looks like you are moving slow and just knowing that you aren't doesn't shake that feeling.

The speed problem is always what I have when I change off Lalafell. Tiny races just feel faster.

I have this issue with mounts, too. It feels like I fly way faster on my chocobo than in the reaper, even if I know it isn't true.

Weirdly enough, if ACT overlays are tanking your FPS you might need to turn Aero on. If Aero is off, the overlays absolutely murder my FPS but with Aero on there's no noticeable hit. Worth a shot, assuming the overall marginal performance hit from Aero isn't a dealbreaker for you in other ways.

That's not weird. Aero makes Windows use the 3D accelerated window compositor. With Aero on, all windows become textures and the entire desktop is rendered using the GPU.

With Aero off, it falls back onto what's essentially the ancient VGA model of directly BLTing window contents from main memory into video memory.

So I'm in South Korea for at least a year and apparently I can't connect to the FFXIV servers from here. With the caveat that I am a troglodyte with regard to the intertubes and connecting to things and stuff, is there any thing I can do about this?


EDIT: I can connect to SWtOR just fine so if worse comes to worse I can play that for my MMO fix while I'm here and I unironically like SWtOR a lot, but I'd sure prefer FFXIV!

My understanding is that some korean ip addresses are blocked for whatever reason, but that if you use a VPN for the launcher and then disconnect it before hitting the play button you should be fine.

If that doesn't work you could always try just keeping the vpn up at all times, and if that doesn't work someone more knowledgeable than I would need to help.

I've yet to find a service I could not access from Hong Kong / China when using a socks5 proxy via SSH connecting to a server in the USA. This is a lot less complicated than it sounds.

It's the pvp armor with the yukata hotpants. I don't like most of the pants textures in this game, a lot of them have like wierd leather codpiece things.



Loving the new armor though, I feel like a musketeer.

I don't recall anything saying we were jumping to 3.1.x so quickly. Do you have a source? 3.1 came out November 10th, and if we presume we're on a 3 month cycle again it's more likely to be late December if I had to guess. Especially if they expect random people to decide they want Zetas after the 3.1 nerfs to the chain.

I am generally sensitive to big races in MMOS seeming slower but Roegadames don't feel sluggish to me. It probably is a function of them not having the proportions of a brick.

Honestly I spent 2 weeks in China and never had an issue with any of the stuff you normally hear about being blocked (Facebook, Google, Bittorrent). Could be that the fancy hotel wi-fi connections get a pass through the Great Firewall though.

Someone in guild chat had said that.


On another note, I wonder when we are going to go back to the Ul'dah plot. Ilberd is still out there and Yoshi promised us Omega in 3.x. I feel like the Ul'dah stuff was the only major failing in the 3.0 story. That got wrapped up far too fast in a far too unsatisfying way. It was a real wet fart of a story beat.

If you haven't done the latest MSQ yet, do so, it may address some of your concerns going forward.

I think it's quite evident that the next patch's MSQ will be quite Ul'dah-focused, with the Yda and Papalymo stinger.

Unless it's to try out warrior, I assume you mean.

Speaking of, I've been trying out warrior myself and now that I finally have it up to 54 I need to learn how to triple fell cleave so I can max out my Tomes Per Second

Here's what I've been doing, tell me if I'm dumb and doing it wrong:

Start in Defiance, build up 4 stacks of wrath the slow way
Berserk, switch to Deliverance
Cleave
Infuriate
Cleave
Vengeance (and later, raw intuition when I get it), build up to 5 stacks again
Cleave
Back to Defiance

Is that pretty much it? I mean...it's been working, and I haven't been dying, so I guess it must be fine, but I'm wondering if there's a better way that people are talking about when they talk about triple fell cleaving. Mustn't look incompetent in front of the pubbies

Man, I got MRD up to level 26 simply for mercy stroke, and I was gonna call it quits; but even at that level I was having fun hitting dudes with overpower, keeping up maim, and using berserk. I'm probably going to continue leveling it up, because the LDR queue for DPS has been absolutely atrocious lately (even moreso than usual).

My understanding is this is the best way to do it:

start with 4 stacks
heavy swing
berserk
fell cleave
combo x 2
combo x 3 (back at 4 stacks)
raw intuition/vengeance
fell cleave
infuriate
fell cleave
fracture

This requires you to have a decent chunk of skill speed, but you should be aiming for the 9-hit berserk breakpoint anyways.

International Hotels do get a pass in many major areas, yes. But my point was more that US services like Netflix and Hulu will say you cannot access them from outside the US, and the socks proxy gets around it easily whereas VPNs tend to go to services they blacklist.
