Last time on /xivg/:

Dutyfinder still broken?

2nd for already skipping the story because who cares anyways

ye

What's the verdict on the new UI gauges?

I'm still at work so I haven't had a chance to check out early access.

Xth for being unsure whether to boost SCH/AST/PLD

>need to do instanced battle to advance story
>can't do instanced battle because instances are broken

Too big, look like shit.

We'll get used to it.

How's Omega looking?

Can someone not using steam version tell me how to fix this

I'm exploring Gyr Abania with an elezen~!

>SCH
if you're not doing it for SMN then you wasted your money

>wanna try the expansion out
>no one friends are playing
>game is borderline unplayable alone

reinstall the game

I remember simply reinstalling/cleaning my directory. I may be wrong, it's been at least 2 years since I last had that issue when patching.

>had old account at lv40
>fucked my shit up by purchasing the steam version at some point
>making a new account
>balmung is locked and apparently transfers to it are restricted also
>if I make a character on another realm it'll take 90 days to let me perform a transfer to play with friends

when can I next expect it to open?

>try to do first SAM instance
>game stays at black screen forever

Feels bad guys

Only if you're retarded.

iktf

Do we not get the preorder items until the 20th?

I just posted this in the dead thread but im so roasted right now im putting it here too.

>square enix wont accept my debit card to buy sub time, not even crysta
>forced to buy 60 day card after spending almost half my paycheck on a new ps4 and stormblood
>whatever at least i can play now
>update is 22gb because i couldnt log in before today cause i was trying to get 30 day sub to work
>square enix is capping my DL to 5MB/S
>3hrs to download update
>yesterday i downloaded a 12gb game from psn in 12 minutes

Fuck you square. I like your game but every fucking service that ties into it is absolutely the most user unfriendly shit ive ever dealt with.

>game is borderline unplayable alone
this is basically a single player game for the whole MSQ experience.. playing with someone is so annoying, can't go your own pace with that much reading and cutscenes, this is one of the first times I'm seeing someone post this.

just get in a popular FC to have something to read while grinding

>need DF for MSQ
So where do I get SAM/RDM?

post yfw white mage literally has a better aetherflow

I managed to queue for PotD but eta says >30m

dont bother with sam, it has an instance. read the patch notes to answer your question

Pre order and collector items on the 20th yeah.

Will the WoL ever get laid?

For real, Thin Air basically gives you 8 to 10% MP gain with natural ticks.

>could make my midlander look like rean schwarzer
>go up to MB to check out the 1kats (which are all pretty fucking cool)
>there's a catboy with ugly as fuck hair and shit named rean schwarzer

Samurai was a mistakeurai.

you can still pick up and become a SAM without doing the instanced part though.

Gilgamesh?

how have you rdm/sam anons been leveling without potd? and how is it going speed wise?

anyone else have some graphical glitch with squares?

>people buttblasted they can't face roll PotD all day
Level it up the old fashioned way you fucks with fates

Feels good to be a PLD, 2+ years maining this class to finally be on top

>WHM got fucked
>buy AST boost so I don't have to be a meme
>forgot my mailbox was full
>still haven't gotten my item

>fates is the old fashion way of levelling

Is there a Veeky Forums FC on Moogle?

>adding 2 fucking dps jobs
>queues will be hours long
Well I guess it's time to level PLD

Anyone else not able to start job quests? Looks like the npcs are bugged. Was able to do RDM and SAM fine though.

yeah man, i'm pretty annoyed that all I'm going to do is run around and hit my spin move for hours, what about it? POTD is a half step above that where I can at least use a 1-2-3 combo

probably not

Does using a job you enjoy instead of whatever is currently good make you a selfish prick?

Transfer to Omega

Move to Omega!

I feel unstoppable now with the AoE, new combo line, and ogcd stun option.

...

What tiny ass server do you play on? I'm on a mid-pop server and shit just disappears constantly while everybody quasi-disconnects.

>People mad they cant play 90% of content they paid for when an expansion comes out

Yeah haha fuck them GOT EM

What does the backup tool save exactly? I might need to reinstall my game.

Verdict on RDM and SAM? Worth playing? No place in a party? Cuckshed?

only if you insist on joining group high end content with it

for solo play it doesn't matter

Yes but we're all transfering to Omega in like ten minutes.

What's so great about Omega?

Only if its cutting edge content. Honestly nobody is gonna give a shit in 4 man content or NM pugs what you play.

game is not officially released yet, I don't understand what you're complaining about
>EA babbies

sam feels boring at 50, but the 60 onward kenki spending moves seem like it'll keep you active and such

Is Ragnarok still active? It's the server I always used to play on.

Not at all, every job is viable in this game.

it's not moogle

So I should just play what's FOTM after all? I don't really see the point in leveling and gearing additional jobs to do nothing worthwhile with them.

What are the "FOTM" DPS picks then? I know tanks and healers, but not DPS.

Except warrior

We get benefits for moving there, it's free, and we get to play in a server that's not overwhelmingly French.

good morning.

So from what im reading here, early access is up but instances arent working at all?

I like the Fringes

anyone 62 yet?

I like the fridges

>tfw made it to stormblood with EB
Is anybody else here drowning in hype seeing so many people running around, FC and linkshells cheering about new items they find, sharing and discovering things again and discovering the game all over again?

Is this game worth starting fresh in? Considering there's 2 expansions now and people claim the leveling is really boring, would there even be enough low levels to do the ''fates'' with?

Are you guys recruiting? I'm on Moogle at the moment, I'm actually French but I've been living abroad for years now, I'm terribly lonely because I don't enjoy playing with French and I'm actually interested in moving to Omega.

I have a nice accent if that helps.

Any reason to bother getting the 'new' patch from Weaver? Looks kind of like a cash grab to me.

did you see how it looks when half the server is doing fates? people and mobs randomly disappear and all is a clusterfuck

Have people found the meta comp yet?
I bet it'll be nothing but jobs I hate anyway

Yeah, message Teorec Evrardoux, I'll invite you.

Old one still works.

Always good to make sure you learn how to swim before trying it first!

>All these people on Mateus now
Muh comfy server...

If you like final fantasy then yes. Fate difficulty just got some adjustments, and most of your levelling follows a string of "main scenario" quests. And all dungeons are included in a dungeon finder queue that gives rewards to all players so getting groups for required content is never too difficult.

I'm at work at the moment but I'll message you when I get home, roughly 4h30 from now.

If you're already on Omega I'll just go there.

DRK
PLD
AST
WHM
MCH
DRG
NIN
BRD

Same shit as HW just different tanks/healers
Casters are still not viable
RDM and SAM are both garbage

It'll be just as dead as it usually is in a week or two
It was like this during HW too and it quickly died down

>transfer still not available

Fact: RDM is the strongest job in the world

So if I already had alts on Mateus, that aren't leveled at all, do I have to delete them and make new ones to get the incentives? Or can I just level the ones I already have?

We'll start transferring in a few minutes, so we'll most likely be there by the time you get home.

Replace the whm with a rdm, since rdm actually does damage.

>Casters are still not viable
>RDM and SAM are both garbage
But what if I like casters? Am I just going to have to sit this one out?

>forced to do fates to level SAM
>none of the HW fates got the overhaul like bonus exp and the rare enemy that gives a bonus xp buff
just fuck my new and exciting fate gameplay up

Casters may very well be viable depending on how Omega works. The user you're replying to is spreading false info based on speculation/Creator meta.

What server should an EU newbie choose? Just wondering because most mmo's have servers that are 90% of a certain ethnicity and they only speak their own language.

Yup. Sucks to be you. Job balance is the worst it's ever been. Pick up one of the good jobs and put up with them even if you don't like them, or quit.

>Katana of the Round is a ducking lightsabre
>make 2 of them, HQ
>post them up for 6mil each
>they sell immediately
>make 5 more
>those sell immediately
>buy out the supplies on the AH
>make 20 or 25 I can't remember
>10 of them sell instantly and the rest kept getting undercut
Oh well, made a good 50mil in under an hour. I'll see if the rest sell by the morning.

>still no instances

Omega is probably the best choice right now.

Omega is the new server, you get bonus playing there so start there.

So are you expected to just level and gear up new classes depending on what works best for a given raid? Or if the new raid tier favors a comp with a class you don't play, do you just have to sit it out? Blow millions of gil on crafted gear to skip that class to current progression level?

Man, Lyse looks fantastic. I hope they start pushing her and WOL together.

that is a good question and I have no clue, I would recreate an alt just to be safe, plus you might've spent the fantasia or something, I can just reinvite you to the ls if you're already in it

Early access is not beta. Its a finished product.
