Am I all patched up if my launcher goes to Play right now without an EA key, or is there stuff to download after I put one in?

Why would they have you download the expansion if you can't access it?

I'm really not liking the Dragoon changes to Geirskogul. With the simple change of making it no longer reduce the botd timer, suddenly the whole thing has no point to it. Just bake the extra damage into the jumps, turn the 4th hits into regular parts of the combos, and make Geirskogul a regular ogcd cause botd is going to have 100% uptime anyway.

The increase/decrease got replaced with building up to an empowered Geirskogul you fire off a few times, before everything resets.

I still don't understand the logic of "we are deliberately bottlenecking this so later zones don't crash the server" when it just means that everyone hangs out in the Fringes anyway -- and the servers seem to be completely fine with that.

Dungeons are crashing constantly.

I got a new one now.

Completed a MSQ dungeon no problem, but it didn't trigger quest completion after and dumped me into Mist.

This isn't even in expansion content.


Edit: Teleporting to Dragonhead triggered cutscene and credit.

I don't know if it's Dragonhead specifically because the dungeon is in that zone, or just that it was the first non-city area I'd gone to.

Anyone here playing Monk on high level?
I started leveling yesterday and got to ~25 and it feels nice. Looking on reddit there are quite some people whining about nerfs and Monk being dumbed down.

Or those whining babys or should I maybe look into another class while I'm still very early into the game?

Redmages and Samurais and Ninjas are all only available after I jump through some initial loops right? (Besides paying for the expansion they come with.)

Rogue needs you to finish your level 10 class quest, though it will take you longer to get to Limsa if you didn't start there. Red Mage and Samurai need you to be 50.

Hopefully this isn't a dumb question, but my buddy roped me into trying this and I've never played before. I got the free trial installed yesterday and was finally able to make a character on his server today. I'm probably gonna play that till I hit the wall of whatever the limit on the trial is. But if I want to be playing the newest expansion and have never owned any version of the game -- is there like a "everything you need to play" version of the game, or do I need to buy all of the previous content separately? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

From a trial you'll want to get the Complete Edition.

I played this game a long time ago around ARR launch and got a Black Mage to max level and killed Ultima Weapon, Garuda, Titan (hard mode), and Ifrit (hard mode)(

About how far behind am I? Could I come back and pick this up and not feel like an idiot? I didn't really level any other classes/jobs while I played besides what was required for Black Mage.

Thanks

Sounds like you have all of the post launch content to go, so that's 100 quests before Heavensward.

They lampshade it once or twice. I had one dumb trivial task quest and when it was done the NPC apologized because they didn't realize who I was.

Obviously canonically the WoL will just do anything they're asked so people take advantage of it.

If the job isn't in the same city the one you picked starts in, you'll need to wait a little longer than 10.

Follow up question to what I was asking before. So my tracking information says my package departed and the arrived right back in Miami and I've abandoned all hope of receiving this anytime soon. I assume my account can only have 1 copy of the game on it. So if I bought a standard digital when my CE comes I couldn't register that for the bonus items? I would have to buy digital CE and that comes with all the in game items the physical CE does? Just wanna make sure if I decide to do something drastic.

Pretty much.

Hmmm. The supposed fix I found on the game's support pages didn't work. I have an AMD card, and the launcher for the game/trial says play in DirectX 11. However, I get frequent crashes to desktop that say there was a fatal DirectX error. The support pages for the game said go into my AMD control panel and enable Crossfire, but my AMD settings don't say anything about Crossfire. I've updated my drivers to current, but I'm still getting frequent crashes.

Is this a known issue or does anyone know a workaround?

Crossfire is AMD's 2 videocard synergy thing, you definitely don't need that.

Do you have any screen overlays? Like are you on Windows 10?

Yeah it's not your drivers or anything, it's FF14 doing it. But everyone says it's related to an interaction between DX11 and screen overlays Square hasn't fixed for years.

Windows 10 has an automatic overlay in games with the Xbox app. Nvidia cards with Geforce Experience have one too, I don't know if AMD has a similar thing. But for mine I disabled the Nvidia overlay and removed the Xbox app and haven't had one of those crashes since.

You need to put:
code:
Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.XboxApp | Remove-AppxPackage
...into an admin Powershell to remove it.
