I'm actually more excited about the new bluray ost than I am for heavensward :v:

Regardless I'll be on around 6ish am (assuming I can even get in) to poopsock with everyone.

Anybody know if they ever fixed the issue with higher resolutions and the cutscene dialogue window being way to small? I play on a 58inch plasma at 1080p and sit a bit aways from the screen but find I have to sit significantly closer on this game. I find it's much more relaxing to poop in a sock laying down on the couch as opposed to having to sit up. Plzhalp.

I think the main issue is the text bubble that comes up during cutscenes along with random npc chat bubbles that pop up. As far as i am aware there is no way to increase the size on these which means i either have to sit fairly closer to the screen than i like or run at a lower resolution.

Yeah my standard protocol for quests it's to click to objective to see it on the map, and if it's not nearby I scroll over to the nearest aetheryte and click it to teleport. So much easier than remembering which town is in which zone all the time.

Been playing ARR since beta and my mind has just been seriously hosed sideways.

Is there a secret way to increase the NPC chat dialogue size? I don't remember the text being this small.

This has come up a lot of times, both here and on the official forums. There doesn't seem to be a way to increase the size and no official word has given on whether they plan on doing anything about it. The only fix is to play at a lower resolution, unfortunately.

It's a generic 'event battle' theme, so it shows up for story instances and cutscenes but I don't think any dungeons or anything like that. (Maybe a guildhest or two?)

In any case, the game files have it as 'bgm_event_battlecommon_02'. I don't know if it's on any of the released soundtracks.

I believe it's called "Fear to Fortitude" or something like that. I know it's on the ARR blu ray soundtrack.

When choosing between a weapon and an armor upgrade does the armor upgrade make you look sexier? If so choose that.

Just got charged for the "Before the Fall" soundtrack. Anybody have any experience with pre-ordering the other soundtracks? Do they send it to you as soon as it's charged? I'm confused on that since it mentioned it wasn't getting released until the 26th.

No, the charge happens a week or so in advance to ensure that the funds are secured, and they'll send it out closer to the release day.

Tis what i figured, but i had my hopes.

So I finally got ACT to work and have been futzing around with it. What's a general length of time to attack a training dummy to get an accurate reading. Obviously it's not going to be as accurate as actual battles but I wanted to get something to start with as a baseline for my deepz.

As DRG I just try to execute my full combo until I run out of tp. Has the bonus effect of helping you practice your rotation as well as keep track of how well you're doing from session to session.

For non tp dependent classes, I'm not sure. It might be best to just set up a 5 minute timer and go to town on the dummy during that time.

Awesome. Thanks.

Do what you can to get on Excalibur. A group of goons ran me thru Coils 1-9 (The original raid from A Realm Reborn) and they did the same thing the day before. You'll get everything from gear thrown at you to goons begging you to let them take you thru a dungeon or three. FFXIV made it fairly lucrative to help out newbies and aside from the handful of times I've been on at odd hours I've always gotten help when I've asked for it.

Well looks like I'm out of commission until Comcast pulls their head out of their rear end and figure out why my connection keeps dropping intermittently every 1-2 minutes. Went thru everything I possibly can to fix it and the earliest they can send someone out is Monday. :'( Was looking forward to poopsocking this weekend.

If you're only seeing the problem with FFXIV its got nothing to do with your connection to Comcast. Its Comcast's peering partner into Montreal, level3 that is dropping your connection.

No it does it with all devices connected wireless and wired. I was just merely stating in regards to ffxiv since that's what this thread is.

I really don't think the gimmicks in Crystal Tower require any prep, with the exception of one of the early fights in World of Darkness which is a little weird.

Then again, the Something Awful community on Excalibur found a way to wipe on Atomos in Crystal Tower, so what do I know? Apparently standing on a button is too complex for them.

If there is one thing we know how to do, and do well, it's ignore mechanics :v:

I moved to TPT and haven't had any issues with chat. At least on the weekends when I primarily get to play everyone seems pretty chatty.

Also I've never been to one of these FFXIV nerd fests. How does it generally work? It looks like entry goes on sale the day before it starts? (the 14th of October)
