Stupid question here, but what is the level cap right now?
Stupid question here, but what is the level cap right now?
Just got the ability to change classes. Am I just supposed to get out there and grind since quests aren't repeatable?
No idea how to get there. And even so, that would support an additional 2 classes I'd imagine? Eventually leveling is going to be a pain, no?

Is that the cap for the beta or will launch be the same?
Will there be a wipe before launch? I don't want to sink time into doing auxiliary quests if so.
There will be a wipe in just under 33 hours, when phase 3 ends.
Then open beta? Apologies if this has been asked ad nauseum.
There's no date yet for phase 4, which is open beta. But it will be in August and rumors say that it'll last 1 week.
Uh, no shit? Are you new to marking mobs? thats how it normally goes downI disagree, sitting there marking each mob one by one would drastically kill the flow of a dungeon run. If anything, just toss a single mark out and charge.
After 27 runs of that last dungeon only one mage piece dropped it was boots and another player got them, so yeah I understand the mage/melee ratio in this game is well bad, but that is just bullshit, I went through the same shit in FFXI and wont do it again for this, just not worth it.
FUSE.

I've had one run where nothing but mage drops and the other members were salty.After 27 runs of that last dungeon only one mage piece dropped it was boots and another player got them, so yeah I understand the mage/melee ratio in this game is well bad, but that is just bullshit, I went through the same shit in FFXI and wont do it again for this, just not worth it.

Nah, that's just your luck which seems to suck. I did 6 Brayflox runs tonight and mostly mage stuff dropped, 1 body, 3 feet, 3 legs, 2 hands, a weapon, and few more pieces from the other 2 sets, with the usual pink pieces from the steel set.
Not sure if my connection is laggy, but in Copperbell Mines (or other dungeons) members will just vanish. Or I'll be beside them and cast heal and it says they're not in range. Or their location on screen and on map are not the same. Ugh, it's frustraiting.
It's just sad when you're CNJ and you watch your mates get pulverized right before your eyes without being able to save them.
The downside to being the tank is you have a lot more responsibility than the DPS. The upside is that you get to keep all the tank drops for yourself, so you can get geared faster so you can tank better so you don't die. As much.

There is something wrong with the instance servers or something. I've died twice in Haukke Manor where I was clearly outside the circle of the bomb which spawns and goes off next to the last boss. One time I was almost to the other side of the room when it blew and somehow the server decided I was still standing right by the boss and I died. WTF Squenix.
Your post insinuates making an "order" kill mobs, so I assumed you were talking about literally sitting there and marking mobs one by one. And I'm saying no, that kills the flow and adds needlessly to the time it takes to complete a dungeon.
I share your feeling about marking mobs, but I find it helpful to at least mark the initial mob from a bunch of 3-4. So what I did was to make a macro with Tomahawk:
/mk attack1 <t>
/ac "Tomahawk" <t>
That marks and obviously attacks the mob with Tomahawk, effectively pulling the group of mobs. I also have the bind1 mark on the hotbar for when I feel like telling the people not to attack that particular mob first, as if pulling with that macro wasn't self-explanatory.
I've heard a lot of people complain about the latency problems, however I have yet to encounter any lag at all during this phase. Maybe I've just been lucky and my connection has always managed to stay lag free, but whatever the case, the problem is still there for some and it must be something hard to either detect or fix, since it doesn't happen to most people, basically is no where near as bad as what happened with 1.0, but I hoped they fix the problem by launch.
Yeah, I just stumbled upon the desert yesterday:
I like it along with the little oasis village. Maybe I just couldn't find the npc, but is there no levequest NPC there? I'd like to do some levequests in the desert, but I couldn't find anyone.
Thank you for being amazing. Running through these things as THM , I sleep one of the many mobs that come down and for some reason the other players think 'OH SHIT MUST HIT THE SLEPT MOB'.
How do I repair equipment?
There's literally nothing (but enemies) in the level 40 areas. I haven't been in the desert nor in whatever area there is in the Black Shroud, but I've been in the La Noscea ones. When you get to the camps only the Aetherytes are active, some don't even have NPCs in them, much less a shop.
Is he...in the market area perhaps?

Look for hammers on the map and most of the NPCs' are called Menders.

When does this beta phase end? Same as the last few?
In just about 30 hours.
Are there any videos of mid level play?

Can't get worse than the 'Big Boobs' character I saw...twice, in Ul'dah and Central Shroud.Also... Today, I stumbled across someone named "Yaoi Fanfic"... >.> <.<
So you don't level jobs? They're just something you unlock along the way that you can use for extra/specialized abilities/traits?
Were we going to get more character customization options before release? I think I'm going to switch to Miqo'te on release so I need to remake my character, but if there's going to be more options I'll wait for the benchmark/character creation thing to come out.
No P, just <2>.Hey i need help with something. I'm trying to create a Macro so i can easily have 3 macro keys assigned to my loadout so i can easily maintain my heals. I have one that is working fine to cast Cure II on myself. I'm trying to get it so i can have it so when i press a macro it will cast for the person who's in Party slot 2, have a macro for the same for each party slot. To give you an example. This is the Macro code i have so far.
/ac "Cure II" <p2>
P2 is there for so i can cast heal on the second person in the party. It's not correct cause its not working for me.
3 tank Brayflox is now a thing. 2 GLD, 1 MRD (me), and 1 CNJ cleared it and man, tanks can DPS a lot better than we expected. It actually didn't take as long as we had feared. It was something like a 45 minutes clear time.
I guess this means I'm done with Phase 3. I can't wait for Phase 4 and launch!
I think that dungeon has easier normal mobs than the mansion personally
