vOv posted:Yeah, I don't understand what the point of that is. I'm sure it's just because it was easier to add the class that way, rather than adding a new check in the MSQ for rogue where baderon tells you to go join the rogues' guild at level 1.

unseenlibrarian posted:I wonder if the "don't need to level a second class" stuff means you'll be able to start as a rogue without leveling another class to ten first. You still need to have some class at level 50 to take one of the expansion jobs, so it wouldn't seem strange to me if Rogue continues to need some class at level 10.

I played this back around A Realm Reborn launch and leveled my Monk to 50. I stopped playing around the time Coil first unlocked (if I recall). There were hit detection issues server side back then, and some issues overall, but a friend of mine says everything has significantly improved over the intervening time and expansion so I figured I'd give it a shot. Also, I wanted to get some play time in to try and get used to changes in this expansion before Samurai gets released in the next one. Am I basically fine to just look for a story quest and keep leveling from 50 to 60 to have it send me to the new zone, or are there old vanilla level 50 quests I have to do before I get to go towards 60? If I recall, I completed just about everything except the raid attunement before I stopped playing, so I should be pretty caught up on the vanilla story. I'm currently in Faerie (in the Aether cluster), is there any stuff that is cross realm within a cluster, or is it all basically still on the server level? If it's the latter, is there any real issue (money aside) if I wanted to just transfer my already leveled character over to the server you guys are on? Hopefully that's not locked to only transferring between worlds within a cluster. Oh, and did they add more quests so you don't have big dead zones where none are available? I remember back when I played the way to level after like 42 was just grinding out mobs in this one FATE as they spawned, and that kind of sucked.

homeless snail posted:If you finished the launch MSQ, then you have exactly 100 more story quests to do before you can get into HW. Picks back up at the waking sands. Duty finder has always been cross server, and they just made party finder cross server also, open world stuff is still strictly single server only though. They haven't really gone back and added many sidequests to existing zones for the most part, but leveling is a lot faster and there are more ways to go about doing it now. ... I can't tell if you're joking about there being 100 quests to do or not. [EDIT] Or do you mean 100 more quests before the level cap content of HW?

It's not a joke. Ffxiv has a lot of patches and support between big releases. Edit: just for reference of how much content there is, the story content at level 50 is about half as long as leveling a new class to 50, and there are more dungeons and duties at level 50 than below it. The capstone to the end of the level 50 story is an hour long cutscene. Tenik fucked around with this message at 00:08 on Mar 13, 2017 |

Zaodai posted:... I can't tell if you're joking about there being 100 quests to do or not. If the last story quest you did was the one that ended release ARR, it's 100 quests to go through the story from that point to 2.55, which was the last story patch before HW, and you can't go to Ishgard and HW content until you do them all. There are more, and actually very good, MSQ quests for HW and right now we're in 3.55, so another large amount of story quest to play through once you hit 60.

Zaodai posted:... I can't tell if you're joking about there being 100 quests to do or not. Currently there are four segments to the main story:
Leveling is significantly faster now -- the main story grants more EXP, the Challenge Log grants weekly bonuses for easy-to-achieve things like doing a few dungeons or commending people, there's a Dungeon Roulette that grants a daily EXP bonus, and instead of FATEs there's now Palace of the Dead, a randomly-generated dungeon for any combination of jobs.

Martman posted:Sorry to go back for nerd tryhard stuff, but I'm pretty sure the weapon damage along with the increase in main stat (which basically adds up to almost +3 weapon damage together) means the i280 weapons are pretty much definitely gonna be better. People have claimed they'd be better even without substats, which I think is an exaggeration, but the substats would have to be insanely godawful to make up the difference. I've already seen pictures of 280 weapons that were fine. The real question is if they're better enough that it's worth going through 4 levels of RNG to get them when you already have or are working on a near equivalent.

Or else another level of RNG in hoping that your 280 has the exact or more amount of accuracy that your relic already had. There are claims that the upgrade is basically like having Balance vs. a party without an Astrologian but I find that pretty specious

Probably because it's the end of the expansion and it was a super low effort method to get people to do grindy busywork content in the meanwhile.

Yeah, as long as you've bought the HW expansion the level cap goes up to 60 and you'll earn XP. I think I got around 1.5 levels from doing the 2.1-2.55 quests.

I'm 54 and just finished Leviathan. I may switch jobs if I cap before finishing the story. This will be my first time as well. I've been doing a lot of the old stuff tho, and making sure to run my daily stuff. I'm working on the old relic weapons right now. It was pretty funny listening to people bitch when they popped in for their Duty Finder Trial to find Hydra waiting for them.

Why would they bitch about getting Hydra? It just kinda falls over dead. Most people running it will be synced down to the equivalent of 130 gear, and it was intended for people at or below 70 gear to be running it.

Roughly how many keybinds should I be worried about having ready access for (for combat rotations)? I've played a bunch of WoW, so I'm used to having a shitload, but I'd need to unbind some stuff for a few of my regular keybinds and I'd avoid doing that if I don't need to. Also, whatever I did to warrant being mailed a fat chocobo mount, I'm glad I did it.

Most classes use 2-3 full rows of buttons. Just get used to playing your keyboard like an organ piano.

I've already seen pictures of 280 weapons that were fine. With the extra weapon damage and mainstats it's going to be next to impossible for the diadem weapons to not be better than relics or alex drops. If a weapon droped and rolled well on secondary stats the gap would be considerable.

The general theme I've noticed is that everyone tends to want easy, consistent access to 6-8 buttons (for your 1-2-3 combos) and the rest you can click. Nin was the first time I had to use shift keybinds (for Mudras) and HW has seen me expand into the shift keybind a bit more (for the occasional 1-2-3-4 combo, Fire 4/Ice 4, etc.) I've got 3 rows of buttons for every class including relevant potions.

Okay, so basically the old glory days of Shaman where you had more skills than the UI had slots to put them in. I'll just bind all my usual suspects and go hunting for new ones from there.

If you include ctrl and shift permutations, I probably use like 20+ buttons on the reg. I couldn't imagine just clicking even half of them.

I bought Roccat Nyth before I started playing FF XIV. The side buttons are modular, I had 6 when I started playing the game and I now have 9, having switched from PLD to DRK. I basically use Q, E, R, F and G in addition to number keys and use Shift modifiers on the mouse side buttons. Technically I could've kept the 6 side buttons and just added Z, X, C to the rotation.

Behold Not pictured is a toggled cluster of 12 off to the side for PvP abilities, bound to the same sets of QWER etc. with ctrl modifiers. Nothing gets clicked because clicking is for babies and caster classes, but I repeat myself
