From the Tech Support thread:

2 service accounts on 1 ID

Maybe this has already been answered somewhere but I have 2 service accounts on 1 ID, my wife's and mine. We both play at the same time and I'd like for both of us to be able to play on either PS3 or PC. I bought a PS3 copy, registered it to my character and that all went fine. Problem is there's no way to use my wife's character now on Ps3. I tried creating another user on my ps3, setting up a new PSN account and even buying a 2nd copy of ARR on ps3 but since it's considered 1 ID, it says that ID is already linked to a PSN account. Is there any way to get this thing to work? Is there any way to separate each service account into it's own ID?

Another player's response:
Huh, so with this being another issue, why the f*** did they allow multiple service accounts in the first place?

I'm pretty sure ability points are awarded per class and spent per class, so when you switch, you don't take those SCH mind points with you to the other class. They have their own point pool to draw from.

ARC is main class for SCH so any points put into ARC stay there when you switch to SCH. This applies to all the level 30 first sub jobs.

Ah yeah wasn't even thinking about the jobs being overlaid on the classes so that that would be a factor.

If I'm a SCH and want to max my Mind, what if I want to switch to ACN or SMN and DPS for dungeons / raids; I'll still have my Mind maxed out which doesn't help for DPS at all. From what I see it's 10k seals to do a single stat reset each time. Should I just do 50% to Mind and Int?
Click to expand...
I hope they introduce more decisions like this to the other classes (and from the comments about ACN when it was first revealed to be the way it is, my suspicion is that is the current ideal for the design team).

10k seals is a better system than 50/100g in WoW(a few minutes of dailies)... I like that you can reverse your decision, but that it's A) Minor (5-10% ish at most) and B) you can't reverse it every 5 minutes.

Haha, same here. I'm just like...what world?

Apparently the server is up. Dunno what the heck the issue is now.

Maybe they've implemented a queue for the character select screen?

Why they waste so many resources in so many areas I'll never know.

First off, give us an option to select JP/NA/EU servers. On the fucking launcher. I don't care if the JP servers are down - I don't want to wait 20 seconds for it to fucking time out before you give me a shot to select a NA character.

Secondly, they need to have a queue on the launcher. Reserve a fucking player spot when it comes up, for 5 minutes. If you miss that 5 minute log in window, back in the queue for you.

It's just amateur hour, every hour, for this piece of shit.

At least when you guys do get in you're usually good to go for the day. My ISP picked a shitty shitty week to start randomly disconnecting me every hour ;\

I'm looking to trade x2 Savage Might Materia III for Savage Aim Materia III for my relic weapon if anyone's interested. I'm also looking for cheap (or donated) leather for leatherworking. I can make gear to anyone who donates leather, just specify your preference. Currently looking for the following: aldgoat -> toad -> boar -> peiste -> raptor.

Ah so that's how it works.
If you play a summoner you are stuck with all your points being put into mind if you go that route as a scholar planning it for you main since both summoner and scholar use the arc as main base class?
But if you switch to marauder or something to go warrior you then get while new set of stats to do as you level since base class is different ?

What hodj said. There's nothing complicated about it, you just run and then rez the tank.

That being said its a 100% exploit using an in game mechanic to by pass content not meant to be bypassed.
The Japanese are also very serious about banning accounts, and this is a very easy thing for them to detect.

The same exploit existed in Neverwinter, and allot of people were given 3 days suspensions for it.
The Difference being the Japanese rarely suspend an account, they will just outright ban you.

I would love to see a video of a group doing this. I can see how they got to the first 2 bosses, but the amount of one shotting succubus ,casters, and the 4 pull at the lasts boss door would make it very difficult for you to do this rez trick.
