Good or bad idea: for Heavensward, they change the Bard into a new "support" class, make the Astrologian the other job in this class, and change one of the DPS slots in the DF to a support slot.

Granted the Astrologian is probably a lot more healing focused so it probably wouldn't be balanced... would lose a lot of DPS unless they gave the job some kind of cleric stance ability.

So maintenance started... Trying to zone out of EXDR, got a 90K, now it's just miles of lobby errors.

Live maint my foot. RIP planning things.

Edit: Yeah, I can't get to any data centers at this point. This is what I get for doing something other than idling in mist.

The irony is not lost on me of this time I spent talking to myself in ls chat.

Somebody tell me what if anything is decided please. I'm giving up on reconnecting for a while, I can't hit any data center.

It's cute that you think it hasn't already started because it has. I know how to count to three very very well already and I have twenty more levels to go. Cumulative level 140 Paladin gogogogogogogozzzz

No one reads my posts though. Zero comments from the bard army about the giant laser is proof.

I saw the laser post originally I just couldn't formulate a response to it. Plus I got sidetracked trying to figure out if they're implying intentionally good crafted gear in the expansion or not.


It is true that I never read Skoje's posts, though. People who level alts to reexperience the story should be shunned!!!!

Damn 90002. I was looking forward to reading the description of the succubus card I just got.

I've seen you post that error code a few times. Just wanted to let you know that one means the client disconnected because of an error on your end.

How does the PS4 version compare to the game on a nice PC? I've noticed on PS4 the framerate does have some issues, depending on area (e.g., around a crowded town it can be low), but other than that, how does it compare just in terms of raw IQ?

I've got a second gen i7, 8 GB RAM, and a GTX 670 FTW. I play at 1440p on my PC and I think it's heads and tails above the PS4 version. PS4 is good for remote play sessions in bed with the Vita though but the PC version outclasses it visually even with my modest specs.

Am I too young to understand this reference?
Really? Austin Powers? You're not that young dude.

I'm already imagining how OP I'll be in 3.0 that I don't even care about Bard lasers.
Well, don't remember if this was said in the reddit post, but he just gave the increased dot damage based on SS as a possible example. The exact specifics of things is still being discussed, but the overall goal is to make SS more appealing to all jobs in different ways, making it a more important stat than it is now. So don't go throwing SMN parades just yet.

I was going to ignore this post but I felt it important to tell you that, as a PLD, it is important you get used to being bored.

Honestly, so much of what he talks about is hypothetical or towards the bigger design goals rather than hard details, it may not be the kind of "good" crafted gear we normally think of. The balance thing he is talking about comes up when he is discussing the current state of crafting, where it's become a case of "you need all crafters" to get anything done and it's HQ or bust. They want crafted items to have more value, but not to the point where gil = power. He never says crafted battle gear specifically either, just crafted items in general and mentions the new materia system in the same breadth.

Personally I think they should let specialists add augmentations or something to gear, maybe like let you change secondary stats like this, so crafters would be important but not to the point where you need HQ/max melded sets of full gear. There is really no way they can introduce actually good fully crafted gear that competes with endgame drops without making gil = power.

Just got to 50 went for a nap to wake up right in maintenance time. And I was looking forward to start figuring out what to do at max lvl.

I was throwing a parade for them remembering we exist!

But, yeah, I'm still on the fence on what this could possibly mean. With so many new things coming anyway, it's not like any real decisions can be made until we're actually playing and seeing what being 60 is like. So it's mostly just wishful thinking and joking about things.

I will say that I'm really looking forward to the previews of skills for the existing jobs. That should be rather interesting.

Reading through old threads such as OTs on here and some OF stuff and other places brings a smile to my face. I regret not being there early on and miss that wonder and newness of the first couple of months. Hopefully Heavensward will make enough of a diversion to feel new and magical again.

It should as long as stuff is openly accessible for the most part / older areas get populated with new things here and there.
 
So far I have had decent success alternating dungeons in hopes of getting a drop. Pharos and Copperbell were one shots but WP took quite a few tries. Not looking forward to running DD and Aurum Vale multiple times though. I wish I had a job that was high enough to take advantage of these dungeon runs.

So it looks like the Crystal Tower run me and other GAF members did right before the maintenance didn't count lol. Well at least I have enough tomes to upgrade my relic now.

EDIT: I teleported to Mor Dhona and the final cutscene started up for me lol

Oh my god these assholes that I have to go find ingredients for to do the Titan quest can suck my fucking dick. Except they'd probably hire some poor bastard to move a mountain a grain at a time before they'd allow him to do it on their behalf.

Get fucked, Wheizkait, you wanker bastard.
 
Continuing Monk training confirmed.

Well I'd say you can't go wrong with either, they're both great melee DPS classes. Even Dragoon is alright now, though still lacking on utility. Hopefully that changes when they get a dragon whelp summon in the expansion, right? Advantage of Ninja I'd say is they don't suck as much when you do solo content like daillies and what not, positional attacks monk with GL3 mechanics is horrible to randomly kill stuff with, meanwhile you one shot mobs with Raiton crits.

Dragoons need utility in the expansion and I'm expecting us to get the best LB out of all the DSP classes.

You haven't even seen the best filler yet in the main scenario quest chains.
