Hello friends, do you guys know if Fracture is a good skill to use?

Yay I'm back from a month long business trip and can play the game again just in time for early access for my preorder! Only... I can't, I got the code, went to enter it and for some reason its a steam account despite never buying the game through steam? So the code they gave me doesn't work and apparently I couldn't purchase it through steam either since I never paid for it through steam. Is support seriously not open again until monday? I fly out again tuesday so I'm guessing I just wasted money.

The pre order code is 5 groups of 4, activation code is grouped like 6-3-6-3. I cannot purchase the expansion on steam because I do not have the base game on steam despite mogstation apparently thinking I have a steam account so I'm not really sure what to do.

This exact same thing happened to me and I just went ahead and bought the game again (on Steam, this time) since it's basically $5 when you factor in the free month it comes with

However assuming you want access to your existing characters and/or to not waste $5, you should probably go straight to phone support. I submitted a ticket and they took three days to get back to me with an automated message saying "you need to call us," so you might as well skip that time and go right to being on hold

They should be able to do all that in chat.

I had the same thing happen to me earlier today. Went back in queue and eventually got my steam key at least.

This game looks really nice and everything but now and then you see some really questionable fashion sense. Like Yda those pants are really terrible! Then you do a quest and get this as a reward.



This is a silly hat, who made such a silly hat. There are even ear pockets for your ears.

So far the class quests have been quite enjoyable. I'm really liking the arcanist guild, especially with all the quirky people in it. The guildmaster sending you around to dance at boxes and other people. I haven't tried any other classes yet though so I'll have to see how they end up like.

Its a dunce cap and you fell into the trap.

I think Minfilia has the stupidest outfit in the game.

Real answer: Read the OP, there's over 1000 goons regularly playing on Excalibur.

No, yesterday there were 240-250 online in PBC and there's just over 500 in the FC! That's less than 50% online! Game is dying.

I choose to hope that our ability to resurrect at an aetheryte is addressed as canon at some point, and it's used as fuel to poo poo on the Ascians as the unspecial jobbers that they are (especially Lahabrea who will always be a scrub)

I guess we'll find out if Minfilia comes running back up at some point saying "I completely forgot my return aetheryte was back in Othard!"

When I was leveling SCH in super low dungeons I'd tell the party I was gonna AFK outside of bossfights and if that'd be a problem to just tell me not to. Most of the time they said it was fine and they would usually just <se.11> me or whatever if I was needed. :v:

But you missed out on a faster dungeon run with 3 dps instead of 2!

Its possible that they aren't using optimized rotations for the other dps they are comparing them to. The cited reason for ninja being OP at release was that their inhouse rotations weren't as good as the ones the players came up with.

Its also possible that the turret's behavior on the live server is different from the dev server. SMN pet potency seem to be buggy as well according to reddit. Except in the SMN case any potential missing DPS would bring the class from "good" to "lol why did you bring a BLM"

I agree on one thing with the second guy; some "savage mode" dungeons above the current hard mode difficulty would be pretty neat. However I really wouldn't want to dungeon finder them so it doesn't seem like it'd be a good fit for the current game design.

I suppose installing from Steam was a mistake. When I get to the launcher, it keeps saying Heavensward needs to be installed, yet I'm fairly sure Steam already did that. Any thoughts?

You need to do updates through the actual FFXIV launcher, steam won't actually keep it up to date.

Ah yes, the one person in the game that didn't think SCH was anime enough.

Besides, communicating with your pet via sentences like that is too slow for what is depicted in game. You must be using magic, hand signals or very short words to communicate!

For the tech people: I'm looking to upgrade my PC, since I've had to lower my graphics settings since heavensward came out. Which part is holding back my performance more: My Sandy Bridge core i5 CPU, or my Radeon 6970 graphics card? Right now I only have enough in the budget for one upgrade.

Normally I would default to just upgrading the graphics card, but since I've heard that this is a cpu intensive game, I'm not sure.

Heres a potentially useful chart for graphics at least. Its CPU intensive, but that Sandy Bridge i5 should still be fine for the game. How much VRAM do you have?

It's like normal role play, but involves fire and guitar solos. You have to complete Hard Role Play sessions to even start them.

Just trust me, you really don't want to try savage role play.

For arcanist, your allocations go towards ACN, and not SMN or SCH, right? Meaning you can't have a SMN with high INT then switch to SCH with high MND.

Correct, but the number of points isn't all that many. If you play more SMN you go intelligence and get every so slightly more damage in cleric stance when playing SCH. If you main a SCH then mind of course. Its only a couple hundred seals for the GC item that lets you reset them IIRC so its no big deal.

I think I saw some people claim you can survive faust enrage with cooldown usage but I have no idea how that's even possible since he'll still hit you for like 18k with full CDs and also kill you through tank invuln.



Also enjoying my DRK priv by making the tank buster on Oppressor Savage barely hurt with dark mind.

So does "most attacks" on living dead and holmgang mean "everything but hard enrages"?
