I feel like one thing that they did that was really smart was making gear for crafting relevant. It lets you tap the gear treadmill 3 times instead of just once which I find myself liking a lot.

Nothing majorly awesome, but a lot of things done right:

1) Nice graphics
2) Autoloot rocks
3) gear for crafting, gear for gathering
4) enjoyable story

The slow GCD makes sense now that I've played the game. On PC it is a bit aggravating but it is critical (imo) for playing this game successfully on the console. I haven't tried it on the console yet, but could see myself doing so in the future for stuff of moderate or lower difficulty.

Problem with that script is if you are put into a queue for a server, which basically all servers have atm, it cancels the queue and starts the process all over. So the script is kind of flawed from what i see.

That's the trick - you don't actually lose position in queue. You'll notice you just keep going back to queue but your the line is getting shorter.

So I switched classes to Gladiator, which brings me to a different city so all the little shit quests were there - except after finishing the ones in the city and the few in western thanalan, there's nothing in northern thanalan. Were these all story quests? That seems unlikely. But I'm not sure where to go next to find more side quests.

EDIT: Looks like one of the two noob zones is considered story quests I guess. Found more in west thamalangang

The fog just rolled in while I was fishing as the sun came up.

For all their amateur hour on the infrastructure side , they've actually made a virtual world.

I thought that was a lost art with the shit that's been shoveled to us the past several years.

Was just talking to Threelions in mumble, and he said someone mentioned a way to improve the graphics beyond the max in game - anyone know how to do this?

I love when the loading screen shows for just a few seconds longer than normal, making you think you might have gotten in. Well played, SE, you cuntragging bastards.

I got a THM to 12 and it's OK. There's really not as many abilities as I'd like, and combat is WAY too easy.

I'm thinking of rerolling to warrior; how do you guys rate melee vs ranged. Is tanking fun? I really don't want to sit in queues forever as DPS.

I did get a sleep spell which is great. I love crowd control, but I'm not sure... I'm kind of getting the itch to play melee this game. What about Paladin?

Are you running in full screen mode? I found when I switched to borderless windowed this issue went away permanently.

My 2 biggest annoyances right now are how you can't just get on and off your chocobo once you start using him as a pet, and the home point ressing when you die is retarded, let me res at the nearest stone ffs.

My biggest annoyance is that I deleted my character on Marlboro to remake it and now it's telling me I have too many characters on the server to make a new one. What. the. fuckkkkkkkkkkkkk!!!!

edit: fuck me now it's saying that for servers I never had a character on in the first place.

That is a horrible place to be in. All servers are currently locked, no new characters can be made. It might not allow any new dudes to be made until the new datacenter goes up. Either the end of this week or the start of next. I'd try to make a character "somewhere" as late into the evening, past primetime as you can. But dont spend too much time doing this, odds are you're totally out until datacenter expands.

Rumor is everyone will be getting a week or so extra time due to this crap.
