I thought we could continue the main story at level 10? I am level 10, but talking to Berderon (guy in LL), no option to do so?

Everything seems so slow and unresponsive, especially combat.
Even when I was using the hotkeys, something seemed wrong.
It takes forever just to get skills switched out, go get a an item, etc.
Mobs get buggy, lots of crashes.
Ran out of stuff to do after I did the leves, of which I was only able to do 2 of since the rest bugged out after I crashed.
Then I tried to grind on mobs, hardly any around.
No auto attack is very annoying, spamming 1111111.
Its 2+ weeks till launch, we won't be seeing much of a different game.
I won't be there at launch, canceled my preorder.
Maybe its a blessing in disguise anyway, I got so many other things to do.

This game is hilarious, it has a total hardcore grind thing to it in every aspect of the game almost, Harvesting, leveling crafts, killing stuff for crystals for said craft, but then they cap quest and say it's causal :lol :lol :lol
*edit*
aka I like it, gives me a ff12 feeling sorta. (I liked that game for the gameplay felt like a offline mmo)
The game totally feels like they want you to take time learn stuff and earn your items and way around the world.
Ah I miss mmo's like that to much crap these days tries to fallow wow's spoon fed hand holding style.

So, yeah... the game is infinitely more playable with the hardware mouse enabled. I turned off Ambient Occlusion and Depth of Field, and put shadows on the second highest setting, so the framerate is really good now, too. The game is actually... smooth! It feels much better. I think I'll actually give the gameplay an honest effort now.

FF14 gameplay to me...
Do story quest -> Do Leves -> Pick a craft -> Farm Crystals/Shards you need -> Gather mats -> Craft stuff -> repeat step 1

Why is it that sometime the game tells me "You were unable to make the purchase" from someone's bazaar when they're standing right in front of me?

I don't understand you people.
Is it just me or is leveling a different class too hard? For example, I am physical level 8 and archer rank 5 and decided to rank up Conjurer. I started a rank 1 leve in Gridania and I kept dying. I had to fight Forest Shrooms, but when you attack one, two more aggro you and then poison you and you're done. Am I supposed to grind random mobs first?
What am I doing wrong?
What am I doing wrong?
grrr why do they create leve in the middle of a ton of aggroing lone wolves and bees =.=
yes
the later
you can't reassign ALL your points at once
but moving some over to make your mage class stronger, will help
if u die too fast, add more points to VIT, more HP

In the beta right now, sorta yes. Don't forget bethest as well. I could see some leves giving us instance dungeons, or of course you can exp grind in dungeons. I'm sure there will be rare notorious monsters when game launches too. Plus take into consideration you'll get different types of leves like your own class types that I heard will have their own story/rewards all the way to the endgame point. I'd guess Artifact like armor quests from this later on too.
Really though it's more to do than FFXI which was exp a ton, avoid crafting because it was idiotic to level, camp NM's for gear/sell to make profit, few random quests.
Of course in XI you had things like AF armor quests, the story missions were amazing, and you had areas to busy your time with like Aht Urghan getting assaulted by monsters, or the different areas in the past you can help fight monsters off at.
Content wise FFXIV looks like at launch will have the same as XI did MINUS end game which will show up when there's people who are ready for endgame.
The beta is just a giant hurdle at the start, filled with little direction, and more so content. For me though I've found plenty to do every day between my leves, helping others on theirs, some exp grinding, some crafting(made a helmet for myself today), traveling around different cities for those leves, and answering questions for the linkshell I run.
Too many people in the beta literally want the game to wipe their ass for them because they are too lazy to wipe themselves. Had a guy ask me, "how do you rank up?" Ton of people saying they were too lazy to go from Ul'dah to Gridnia for a level 8 bow.(They were archers) Yet they had time to bitch about not having a new weapon for 30 minutes lol. The community is a lot of whiners---which I understand it's a beta and SE didn't exactly make a lot of good decisions, but at the same time people need to nut up or shut up.
Let me in said:
Yeah screw Gridnia hard. I came all the way from Limsa serveral times to do leves there with people. I always end up saying, "fuck wolves," way too much in party chat. Always puts the level 10 leve target next to, past, or at wolves/bees. They need to either change how tough those wolves are or where the leves ask you to go, because if you aren't with people you will get stomped. Also hate the leves that deal with the opo-opo monkeys because those things are idiotically scaled as well. I've seen them do 900+dmg a shot like wtf? The forest is a maze too which isn't exactly the smartest thing to do for a starting area.

I posted something like this in online, but I guess everyone is mostly talking here now.
I think the sounds of the crafting, repairing, the economy and the issues with things like stats, discipline archetype balance, etc are souring me more than any of the problems with even content or sluggishness so far.
It sounds more and more like they're just piling it to the absolute brim with artificial blocks and time sinks. The lack of an auction house is almost like a sucker punch to those issues. Nothing about this game is casual, if anything it's got more clunk and general bullshit clogging up the legitimate fun than FFXI.
The game is so pretty though, and I really like the pacing and style of it, but in terms of mechanics everything seems fucking retarded and I feel like I'm making myself buy it just because it's the new FF Online I wanted so badly years ago.
My good friend, who is such a jackass apologist for everything in XI, and probably the most tolerant person I know of problems in these games pretty much just exploded on this thing in the teen ranks. That really just took me from "Aw, it'll be iffy at launch but they'll fix it!" to "Oh god it's doomed" :lol
I think I'll just check it out a year or so down the line, it's better than hoping for the impossible in the launch window. Good luck to early adopters.

*flexes* Us manly men will be there on the 22nd. Serious question though has anyone in beta gotten fatigued yet? I myself have not nor do I know of anyone across my 40 some people I'm in contact with from my linkshell. People complain about the game being grindy, but I'm already level 14 marauder and max level is 50 right? That doesn't seem too bad considering right now there isn't that much content to do solid leveling with.
