I haven't been watching any patch trailers since they spoiled Brute Justice, cause that was just dumb.

So, if early access begins the 16th...but general release is on the 20th...and PS3 won't go offline until then...does that mean the game is going to have 2 players having significantly different gameplay interacting with each other? (and much bigger differences from ARR to HW, since just off the top of my head even a level-synced SB PLD is going to have access to spamable AOE that a non-updated PLD won't have).

My guess is they'll just scrap ps3 on 16th?

Samurai and Red Mage start at level 50. HW jobs start at 30. Original classes start at 1.

all that i ask for in this game is a primal phase transition that can match the sheer hype factor of shiva's

Same. Shiva's suden stomp into drums into punkrock is the best. Brute Justice is also almost as good. Zurvan's is hilariously edgy, too.

it'd totally overwhelm me if I was a new player.

Why? If you're a new player, all the content is new to you, and there's very little content that's downright annoying (the pre titan slog, but that's like what, 15-20 short quests? other mmos have far worse fillers). Just work your way through the MSQ as you would in 2.x. Maybe visit potd some. Even totorak is just fine first time through, and if I queue low level with my newbie friend, I make sure to queue with goons and we clear dungeons in under 15 minutes by pulling big and blowing poo poo up and it owns and is fun.

To be fair, 3.0 and later MSQ is a couple levels above the 2.x story. 2.x is stretched super thin and then filled with some really bad anime filler that should by all accounts be in optional sidequests.

2+ hours for ldr, once you get to 60 and you need to queue for specific dungeons for quest reasons those probably won't be longer than an hour. This is my guess. Although if everyone just goes to potd, ldr might not be so bad.

Queuing for dungeons you have a bonus for puts you at the front of everyone who doesn't have one, IIRC they changed that sometime during 3.x? So queuing for MSQ poo poo as dps isn't bad, but yeah. I expect hour+ ldr queues for <60 ldr.

Ah, yeah, I'm still in the 2.x MSQ right now. To make sure I understand, did they add that 110 gear to the 2.x MSQ after Heavensward launched to smooth the transition (and therefore they'll likely do the same for the 3.x pre-SB MSQ)?

Yeah, that's exactly what they did. 2.x quests used to give only some gil, no xp or gear.

You like it because it's huge, but then you'd scale it down to make it not take up 90% of your screen and it's be unreadable.

Also, every time I see a video of 1.0, I'm forced to look at the hilariously stupid and bad hotbar system

It's just gonna be green slime enemies exclusively and every time you get hit you get 20s of non-removable heavy.

Also instance timer is 10 minutes and it takes 11 to run from entrance to exit with heavy.

No more having only 400 GP when you switch to a gathering class, so you don't have to waste 2-3 minutes waiting for your GP to tick to full after switching. The GP recovery buff at level 70 is nice too but honestly I think this is more important.

Usually if I do gathering, I'm going to be doing it for an hour or two and set up something to watch on the side and don't really care too much about that tbh.

Definitely a nice change when you're hunting something and you notice the window is up *now* though. Gonna save a couple watered cordials

I didn't mind umbrite at all, but I played very slowly through that step. I'm definitely going to be pissed if there's gonna be some exclusively random drop bullshit like atmas I can't skip though. I'm super super glad I had the relic to skip that one, even if the drop rate wasn't bad, because RNG always fucks me hard when it matters even remotely.
