Miss you homie.

You gonna try the free trial?

[Cjdamon042]

I'm from the UK so because of time zones and whatnot I don't know if I'll be online when you guys in the US are, but I'm Landrel Squire on Sargatanas wanting to join the GAF group. Currently online if anyone's there to add me.

Not exactly sure how to play the game properly but I'm getting there I guess. Currently a gladiator.

[Dega]

I still get on every now and then. Working on stuff irl that's taking up a lot of my time and that probably won't let up till the end of the year. I dunno, after that I may play some more like before but till then I would rather focus on other stuff.

Oh! The name Kitt Kat was taken away from me after server merger so if you see her online that isn't me. Lol

I made a post on the Official Forums with some ideas for a comprehensive Hamlet Defense system reform.

Hey guys, I asked for a linkshell pearl in the other thread but didn't get a response. Would anyone be able to give me a pearl? I'm in Gridania at the moment just doing story missions at the moment, name is Sinat Tanis. Thanks!

Sad to see a good post be used on such an awful forum. Hopefully it'll get a dev's attention though.

The reps do go to other forums, (They even say they goto BG etc.). I'm sure they are aware that not everyone on the official forum stands for most the games potential or even current population. Personally I think posts like that are good for discussion pieces. To me Hamlet defense is a hamstrung concept in 1.0 while they wait to expand it in 2.0. The thing is almost blatantly designed for a dungeon finder/content finder and all the current drops feel like filler. They have mentioned a bunch in the past that the reason the player limits are in place (Forcing you to have 'exactly' 8 people) is an issue with the server limitation and not a game policy choice. More they hear about needing, wanting changes the more likely its going to happen in 2.0, I don't see it changing much in 1.0.

Basically expect all content added in 1.0 till 2.0 to either be filler/one time only content (Umbral Era quests and live events) or instance stuff designed for a system that hasn't been implemented (Content finder) and they are just tweaking it ever so slightly to be useable in the current game.

Would appreciate people yelling at the first responder for backseat modding. :P

Oo

I wonder, it would have to be limited to server only as each servers level is based on contribution and would be different, I guess we will see though, It would sure make it easier to get a party for it if they did make it part of the content finder.

Its hard to say but from what little we know about their content finder it seems they have pretty big ambitions for it in terms of flexibility. They referenced the possibility fairly recently of people being able to join together from multiple worlds for an EXP party even if its 'instanced' inside another public world. If such facts do turn out to be true someone could flag their server as host and a party is formed from multiple shards or maybe they could make the contributions and point system shared on multiple servers as a large shard. That way it doesn't matter what the level status would be as it is the same on multiple places. What I'm more curious about outside of hamlet is how they intend to implement the faction vs faction vs faction PvP Frontlines into the game and if it will use the 'content finder' to setup parties for it and if it will be a server only affair or over many servers, or if it will be a public instance where only people on the server get to participate.

when you are in the game, send a pm to Jinko Jinko or Eithne Rain, they are pearl sacks, or just send me a tell @ Danorille Pandemo, i can check if anyone with a pearlsack is online to issue a pearl.

It seems selphie haircut lol

[Teknoman]

The NA one looks like some sort of fish thing. Its not a Sahagin, since they dont seem to have long tails.



Unless its a small Wyvern.

pet for drg ?

[Ravidrath]

Axebeak thing from the previous concept art, I think?

[Dineren]

Does anyone happen to know if there going to be a mobile authenticator released (or maybe has been released and I'm not seeing it)? I hate having to keep track of separate devices. Sorry if this is a stupid question that has been answered already, I did a search and everything I can find on the subject is several years old.

Couldn't find a source, but IIRC there's plans for an authenticater app post 2.0.

[Jinko]

It's one of those fish people.

[Allard]

They unearthed the third panel for the English one and I actually think it might be FFXIV version of Manticore, at first I thought it might be the axe beak we have seen from the .dats from 3 patches ago but the little black 'horn' like tip near the head made me think of Kirin from FFXI, especially the colors. Also the Sahagin already have Concept art and they don't have tails like that :P.

Edit: This is the Sahagin

it's a behemoth, we've seen it in one of the concept arts

Behemoth is the Japanese one, but yes it is an old concept art for people who got the NA collectors edition XD.

[UltraMagnanimous]

So this is going to be $8 today on Amazon? Gonna give it a whirl after being a huge FFXI fan back in the day (i.e. 7 years ago!).

What do I need to know getting started? Do I select a server? What's the NEOGAF one if so?

Sargantas and check the welcome back thread in the main gaming side.

Also I have Diablo-itis.

[Munba]

Are we sure that is only a behemoth and not a pvp mount for 4-6 people? D: We'll see..

[creid]

If I log in tonight but log out before I earn all of my "rest XP", will I still be able to earn the rest of it the next time I log in, or will it be reset?

Don't even joke about that shit !!

[cityhunter]

Left the beta but now I'm back in...

I'm very very novice when it comes to mmos. Also I kinda have a hectic schedule so I'm not considered a very consistent player. But it would be nice to have a linkshell that I can chat and help out when I can.

I'm on Ragnarok. Name is Thousandmaster Springfield. If there's other gaffers on that server wave when you see me around. ^__^)/

Does that mean the new Behemoth Dominion is a big Ranch!!?? ( :P )

Also with some new panel unveilings this morning the German one is either axe beak or possibly a colored Chocobo.

[Teknoman]

You guys are right, NA one feels like a Manticore. One of the others might be that frilly lizard looking enemy. JP is behemoth 100%.

[Ravidrath]

The French one seems like it's something all-new?

Some are speculating Bahamut, but I always (Perhaps wrongly) saw the dragon in opening movie to be Bahamut due to its implied importance in the primal story. Since the dragon never officially got a name in game I guess they could retcon it as Jormungand, he is certainly a long devil.

[Coldsnap]

so what would be on my list of things to complete and how much time would it take? last time i played was ifrit fights

The body looks almost... centaur-like to me, so I'm kind of expecting something like Omega Weapon?

Hmm, I guess they never define it as Bahamut, so it could just be Ouryu or one of Bahamut's dragon minions? Because if Bahamut is a primal he should probably dissipate into aether instead of leaving a corpse, like there is in Mor Dhona.

[Allard]

The two new raids, plus the two new primal fights? There is also several Grand Company quests with one of them requiring 3 lvl 50 people (including yourself). There is also the new job quests, hamlet (Its fun but is a bitch to get the right amount of people). There is also Beastmen strongholds but outside of Job AF few people use them for actual hard content these days, its mostly an extremely good place to spiritbond your gear as the mobs give a crap load of EXP.

The raids don't take long at all to complete especially if you can find a competent group. Primals take a bit more 'prep' time with the key items you need to find first before you can do a fight for the first time but that shouldn't take too long either. If for some reason you had all combat classes at lvl 50, it might take a week to finish the job quests (Pending you got the friends willing to help you do them as religiously as you :P) You can even do the 3 raids and strongholds while doing them as at least 2 AF items for each job comes from one of the 3 raids and strongholds. That's to 'do' the content, getting items from them is an entirely different matter. Not to mention there is also ranking up your grand company rank as it becomes necessary to do Garuda and finish the current quests.

The big dead dragon in Mor Dhona is actually Midgardsormr, it's in the Monk storyline quest. Also info on the crystal tower which is buried under the grave of the Ala Mihgan King in Mor Dhona. It's all in the lore topic on the official forums. ^^

Where is this Lore topic on the forums? I get a brain aneurysm trying to search through it manually XD.

And that would explain why I didn't hear about Midgardsormr (Which is another name for Jormungand; The World Serpent), my only lvl 50 combat class is Archer >.>, My pugilist is only lvl 13!
