The weather effects haven't been that noticeable to me. Can anyone enlighten me if it makes a difference between the stock and the krazytwistyshit that I've seen you can swap out in the program path. My lightening comes out as green screen sometimes. Running on Max everything.

Yeah you can jump thank fuck.

Also, for anyone with a heal - if you join a FATE late and it's over halfway, you can just spam heal people and still get gold. It's a lot easier than actually trying to hit mobs that die in 2 seconds.

Do they FATES ever not suck? I'm only 15 and so far they have been huge faceroll clusterfucks.
I think I enjoy them the least so far out of everything. I'm only 15 though, so hoping they get more interesting than what they currently are.

There's nothing fun about them at all to me.

No they pretty much suck. The rest of the game is great, but I totally agree on fates. I remember finding "dynamic events" in Rift to be a lot of fun at first but as time went on it became more and more lame. I really don't enjoy the concept at all anymore. Chain killing with small groups, running instances, and doing story quests is where it's at.

The names are purple. We like purple stuff right?

Fates stop sucking when you realize you just made a shit ton of exp for a few minutes work.
That's the only redeeming factor about them. When you get 12,000 exp for 4 minutes of playing, it's pretty awesome. There are probably some fun ones though. I know that one Malboro in East Shroud (SE corner, Lazy Laurence?) that you need an 8 person group to spawn, is at least a fun spawn dynamic.

Servers crash? I was in the queue to login, then I got a message world server down, and it kicked me off and now the NA servers are gone?

New problem? haha

How do you unlock the first dungeon? Almost 19 and I can't queue for it, the next class quest is locked until 20. I thought by just doing your class quests you unlocked that stuff, apparently not? I know you have to be on the quest "It's Probably Pirates" but I don't have that quest and going to Limsa doesn't seem to help, none of the npcs give the quest.

The first three dungeons are unlocked through the story quest. Just keep doing the story quest until it takes you there.

Thats hilarious that they just decided to start making preparations about that THIS WEEK, instead of last week when they first realized "oh shit... we can't handle the load now, think of how it'll be on the official release day"
Idiots.

Got to 40 this morning... back to work tomorrow. Hope to hit 42+ before tonight, so I can get 50 by the end of the long weekend next weekend. Still have a fucking blast playing. Dungeons haven't gotten hard or anything yet, but they are getting a little bit more complicated. Last boss of Cutters was decent fun learning the colors, and got some good loot. Monk is also fun as hell to me, but god damn - how about some normal/cool looking gear? Cod-piece pink loot at lvl 40.... gg.

The pet isn't that strong - it's mainly good for mitigating/healing damage done to your DPS group members. It definitely can't near keep up heals on the tank during bosses or large pulls, and that's just from experience in Haukke Manor.
What about the scholars actually healing then ? Fine with focusing on tank myself and then letting the pet top off the group as needed.
I'm not a mmo newb by any means and know how to manage mana and not stand in the fire

I guess I never got my main story quest then? Currently level 19 and I have no quests at all. The only quest I see is my Thaumaturge quest that I can get at level 20. Nothing else.

You missed something somewhere.

Actually i did the same thing. I finally realized at like lv 12 that one of the ! had a weird looking boarder around it, and this was the main story quest. So I started to do it at lv 12 lol.
