Yesterday, Square Enix released some exciting new information about Incapacitation, but the sad part is the description was somewhat confusing. Because of this, myself and Zissling were very curious to see how it worked. While he was busy pummeling the mobs to oblivion, I kept him up with my extremely awesome heals. As we both found out, incapacitation is one of FFXIV's best kept secrets (until now)!
Some mobs have body parts that are highly susceptible damage, and certain Disciplines have the perfect ability to do them in. We only used concussive blow during the course of the video, but there are a vast number of skills that rock a particular mob's world. If you are curious as to how they work, take a look at the incapacitation charts from Yesterday's News.
What does Incapacitation Do?
According Square Enix, incapacitation does the following things:
* Weakens the Monster – This definitely applied to the Aldgoat Billy, as his regular attacks hit for way less than before. Sadly, the Billy was near death whenever the horns were knocked off. * Prevent the monster from using Special Attacks – This may work with Certain mobs, but the Aldgoat Billy was still able to use his charge attack. However, the knockback distance was dramatically reduced. * Influence the type of loot dropped – Not only do incapacitation effects affect the type of loot dropped, but the loot is generally better than before. The Skull Eyepatch is a great item that will easily be an upgrade for most Disciplines of War.
Things I Learned about Incapacitation
There are a lot of things I learned that Square Enix doesn't tell you about Incapacitation. Over the course of the few hours tested, I learned a few invaluable things.
* Lay off the DPS. – Let the Discipline responsible for incapacitating the mob do the job before you bring on the damage. When myself and Zissling were fighting Aldgoat Billies, the mob was near death every time the effect happened. Boss fights will probably be somewhat different in this regard, but don't overload on damage when it comes to regular mobs. * It takes longer to kill the mob. – Naturally, it will take a little while longer to kill the mob when holding back on the DPS, but trust me when I say the rewards are well worth the extra time spent. * The loot is much better. – I tested 3 different types of mobs, and you are adequately rewarded for the extra time spent. The Aldgoat Horns are all a key component in Horn Glue, which currently sells for top gil on every server. * It doesn't require a Battle Regimen. – Due to the fact that SE listed both of them together, many people have been led to believe that a Battle Regimen is required to access the incapacitation effects. This isn't true at all, end of story.
Now you should be ready to go incapacitate mobs yourself. If you need any further information, please review the incapacitation charts. Otherwise, please drop a line if confusion persists.

Markets Q. I have read that there are changes planned to improve the market system, but is there any more specific information available regarding these changes and the direction the market system will take? A. We have continued to receive copious amounts of feedback regarding changes that players would like to see made to the market system. As a result, we are planning a number of revisions and additions to the system, the first of which are scheduled to be implemented in the next one to two weeks.
Specifically, market wards will be organized according to specific item types, making it easier to consolidate similar items in the same area. Further, if an item sold within a ward corresponds to that wards’ item type, the tax incurred will be reduced. Items not of that ward’s category may still be sold, but the tax imposed will remain the same as it has up until now.
* Market area names in all cities are subject to change.
We will be closely monitoring the trends and developments of the market system following the implementation of these revisions and new features, and will continue to make further adjustments and alterations to improve player usability and convenience. For example, we are currently looking into options that will provide players with precise information as to which items are located in which market areas, or the ability to seek out specific items without the need for speaking to retainers, and more.
Also, we are now taking steps to increase the number of retainers that a character is able to simultaneously employ.
Anima Q. What is the deal with the anima regeneration rate? A. During the Open Beta, anima was recovered at the rate of one point every six hours (Earth time). Since service began last week for owners of the collector’s edition, however, that rate has been adjusted to one point every four hours.
Food Q. What kind of effects does eating have on my character? A. Eating food serves to temporarily increase certain stats, such as physical and magic attack power, or attributes, such as strength and dexterity. Also, there are foods and dishes suited more to the palates of certain races than others, resulting in more powerful effects.

anyone can teach me how do I get the claim item? I didn't get my goggle in game.. I bought the SE one..
anyway, please add me in "joey chin" at wutai
You have to put the item code at the same place (the same way) you put your game registry AND make a new character and that character (only one character can get it) will get it from the start. The character you already have won't get the item.

haha made a few already. was bored waiting for the server to come up. i think i made like 4 or 5 different chars. just waiting for the server to be up to pop in
Err what I mean is the community from Malaysia is scattered. New players will be wondering which server to join too to at least play together and so.
well, there's a few situation..
gysahl unofficial server for SEA and oceanic.. my guess most of m'sia will go here wutai full of lyners coz we're under 1 ls: afterlife.. unless we recruit somewhere else that have m'sians
so if new player prefer to play with us, he/she are welcome to join wutai.. if he prefer server with most sea/oceanic then better go gysahl.. gysahl also got a few lyners so no worries, we can always gather here discussing
its hard to gather all in one place coz everybody have their own aim n commitment

If you're new to FF online game, it's better you gather w/ own M'sia players since you can get help easily. For current/ex-FFXI players, it just up to your preference in choosing your own path. In the end, we just wanna enjoy the game as much as we could.

One question I would like to ask is, does the game let my type japanese? I saw from a few V back that I can choose the language to install the game? If i did choose JP, does that mean the whole game will be in JP instead of Eng?

Should I get the EU or US version if I wanna play with you guys? Both versions also can play with each other in the same servers?
the servers are shared between all versions so you can get either NA or EU np. It's recommended to get the US though since monthly payment would be in USD and not euro or pound which is more expensive (USD12.99 vs 8.99Pound/Euro i think)

Euro and pound is two different currency and Euro is much cheaper than Pound. BUT!!! SE screw up and paying in Euro is more expensive than paying in pound! sheesh!
1 Euro = 4.20794141 Malaysian Ringgits 1 British Pound = 4.87214213 Malaysian Ringgits
if paying in GBP (British Pound) 8.99 British Pounds = 43.8005578 Malaysian Ringgits
if paying in EUR (Euro) 12.99 Euros = 54.6611589 Malaysian Ringgits

0.o!! How much are you guys paying per month then.
now still zero lor.. game baru launch.. lets see what is the damage next month.. now dowan to think about that.. now enjoying FF14.. later baru regret..
u mean BNM rate is wrong?.. im not a finance person but what i know is BNM is the central bank of malaysia.. every process should get their approval.. if my payment being charge it should go to visa n specific bank that u apply the card (in my case is citibank) then they will exchange the rate and charge it in our statement.. the rate that i show is 'middle rate' from bank negara malaysia, there also selling and buying rate which i dont know what those things are for.. so put aside the technical part, what i want to show is the fact that USD is decreasing and Euro is increasing for the whole month of september, which means it is a good choice if u all go for US region and if u go for EU region, dont take Euro.. pound better (pound is stable around 4.8).. for those who already choose brunei let us pray that SE will do something or pray Euro rate will go down
i emailed them asking if it possible to change the region again.
already did that last week and this is what they replied:
Thank you for your query. In order to play the game, the region of your account registered, must match with the region of the purchased game for example if your account is registered in EU you must buy the EU game to play. Once you have selected your region and country you are unable to change this. We are looking into having more countries on the billing lists.

no, you're not wrong, in fact, you got a good grasp of exchange system in Malaysia. However, banks (foreign especially) will always charge higher than quoted by BNM. Expect to pay more than what you calculate if you're using foreign banks.
I don't understand... why didn't people here use NA version in the first place? I'm happily paying USD12.99/mo.

The slot for code that i had only 4 slots while in the add services there got 5 slots, is it there?
that 4 sequence code is other stuff.. which till now i didn't bother to understand. it's register by going to the given website, then after you log in, the top right of the page will show your member detail, just under that will be the button "Register your game " something like that, click it and input your 4 sequence code.
Anyone can help for registration? I already install habis, cannot play due to registration issue?
Which country you guy chosen?
mengdez, the registration process is quite complicated unlike usual mmorpg. I suggest you take a look at the manual, inside there's a step by step guide.
the registration number is 5 sequence code... it is found at the back of your FF manual. In addition to the manual, there are 2 papers slotted. 1 for your in game item which is also a 5 sequence code..
Another paper is to use for SE community in UK/US which is only 4 sequence codes. You can ignore this for now.
Remember to type in the registration code which will prompt you to create new/replace OB account.., choose replace if you want to retain your OB character name.. After that key in your item code.. type them here https://secure.square-enix.com/account/app/. if you do not have an SE account, create first.

i pre-order the "digital copy" from offgamer since 1 months ago.. today, they send me the 20digit primary CD-keys and the 16digit rubbish key (label as item code)
explain to them via live chat multiple times, told the item key supposedly a 20digit key... they just denied it =_=
anyway, created a new char in wutai now... may need re-rolls later ><

Added on September 30, 2010, 7:13 pm Nah.. you can see it in the videos in Youtube.
for those who not yet register the game, the code to register game something like this: "AB12-CD34-EF56-GH78-IJ91" (got 5 set of code and each set contains 4 letters n numbers) which can be found at the back of the manual...
dont mistaken it with the "abcdef-123-ghijkl-456" set of code from one of the paper.. that one is useless, unless u want to register any SE game that u bought under SE members
Guys, i just got my SE from gameon. I want to ask, if we dont have a credit card, that means we cant play ? can we buy the card to topup the crysta ?
If you register and bought the NA version, yes, you can. if you buy EU and register in one of the European Union country, you can buy crysta, others are not yet available yet or may not be available at all.
A friend from overseas? I'll be getting my Mastercard Securecode this weekend to try out. I'll buy the lowest denomination of Crysta to be sure it accepts my card. If Crysta isn't available, I'm sure Click and Buy will authenticate the card.

anyone experiencing something like motion blur during cutscenes? I'm using ATI HD 5870, tried playing around with the video setting but to no avail? is it because I didn't use ffshow(?forgot what was it, i select the don't show again tick box and now i cannot find it anymore)
problem I'm facing during cut-scenes are 1. if objects move fast ( camera phasing fast) objects will appear blur 2. i'm using a samsung 24inch full HD monitor, about 1/3 from the bottom of the screen to the middle, there'll be a 1inch thick line which is totally blur when object movement is seen.
gameplay-wise, everything is superb.. just that during video play, it's kinda annoying..

for those who not yet register the game, the code to register game something like this: "AB12-CD34-EF56-GH78-IJ91" (got 5 set of code and each set contains 4 letters n numbers) which can be found at the back of the manual...
dont mistaken it with the "abcdef-123-ghijkl-456" set of code from one of the paper.. that one is useless, unless u want to register any SE game that u bought under SE members
wait....R u sure?
suppose to be 16 numbers on card babe
You mean to tell me he actual RGD is at back of the bronchure?

The pre-order period mostly occurred around june till mid September. If you bought from LYN sellers then you might have this problem. My friend pre-order her CE EU from amazon and she got an extra goggle item while the CE EU I bought from Sanzo doesn't have that, so you can figure out.
Good morning Eorza! xD Lucky I slept through the maintenance.

Sorry but I can confirm as my friend has one and she showed to me in game. The goggles is a pre-order gift for both CE and SE. I'm not having an argument but I saw it with my own eyes so I can't lie about it.

S = Send R = Receive
The ring beside S R is your MS, green = good, yellow = slight good, red = bad.
the first round ball is day/night second is weather. And usually when doing quest that has NPC linkpearls, it will appear and glow beside these balls.
there one more npc beside the one that u took for regional he'll give u local guildleves.. basically u have to craft some stuffs. after accepting it, go meet the npc as told in the leve and receive materials and start crafting

Is what FF is about, exploration, you really need to not be afraid of the darkness and go further everywhere and trial&error here. Personally i would get a party up with my linkshell buddies and try to conquer some dungeons for fun, sake of adventuring is cool and hard ><
cant wait to join up the others to do some dragon killing, but have to wait and spend more time on crafting patient is virtue here.. is totally hardcore as the way i see it =\

Hi guys..Im just started with FFXiV online game..whats linkshell for? Thx
Linkshell is a social group, function like as a party but not a party, is more for a social group, if you're asking if there is some sort of a guild, there will be but not now and it is called Company.

i only die once ... 2nd time i change another side and keep stick to the wall ....
btw just the bird is aggro ... inside got something looks like lion .. no aggro because i lazy walk out i run around the lion thingy it didn't attack me ==
aaaarrgghhh... to me, the beta client if far far more stable then the official client... im currently stuck out of game with error 30002 after i pick my char... 3 hours n still no ff14 for me...
I'm not going to be paying for my 1st month... After beta and my CE, I decided this game is not worth playing at the moment.
1) I hate limitations on guildleve. I'm busy, and when I have time, I play for a LONG time. Why am I limited to 4 battlecrafts and 4 fieldcrafts a day? That's stupid. I want to quest as much as I can when I have time.
2) The UI is laggy. For FFXIV, I bought 2 ATi 5850 Crossfire with a i7 6GB of RAM just to play, but the UI is laggy. Doors hardly open when I go near them.
3) People. FFXIV has the quietest community in a MMO ever. Ask a question in /sh and not a single soul answers. WTF?
4) Trade. I tried crafting, and needed some wind crystals, and I had to run for 30 minutes before finding 1 guy who sold 1 wind crystal. Seriously?
5) Mobs. Maybe the game is just launched, but there's a serious problem with respawn time. Developers are insensitive to launch dates.
I'm not gonna waste my time listing so many more reasons, but all I can say is, I quit. This game is just not worth it right now. Maybe after a year. Don't get me wrong, I played FFXI on NA launch day and absolutely loved it. I finished every mission in FFXI hardmode including CoP hardmode and whacked every single end game boss there was in FFXI up to ToAU. Made absolute lovely memories and met friends such as Kira, but FFXIV is just not worth it.
Till then.

I understand how you feeling. When I play beta FFXIV I feel so a let down. My PC is only C2D E8200 OC to 3.0 Ghz (socket 775) CPU, ram 667 (6gig) and 8800GT 512 Factory OC. I try run the game in many resolution, but best for me is 1920x1080 with low shadow, and other thing is medium or normal. But I still get a nice graphic (not the best though).
Lagging like crazy only when you in town (when so many ppl around). Very smooth sailing when you outside the city. Look like SE still have problem processing data when so many player around. I have problem with door .. but that won't stop me playing this game. Well it is better than beta when no Mouse hardware. Now you can enable it in FFconfig.
My first mmorpg is FFXI play for 4 yrs (not on launching day forgot when I start but it was 2002 or 2003) WoW 6 months, Age of Conan 4 month and War Hammer 2 months and FFXI again for 3 + 4 months (buy the latest expension for the Dancer job) . You can see I still favor FFXI.
As you know FF favor Grinding. And this time SE make game favor solo / casual too. Getting stuffs is terrible since there is AH, I have to agree with you. I hear rumor there will be one when PS3 ver come out in March 2011. I too got problem with no mobs to grind, luckily there is spot where no people around especially in Gridania ^ ^
I have to pause my kaspersky when play the game cuz sometimes it make a process make my game very jerky and make me died a few times lol.
Er I didn't know FFXI got hardmode??? how? XD
Yup agree wait for 1 year but did you get free 30 days? Well you still can play 30days and stop before it charge you XD
I must admit, maybe I'm hardcore .. I still can bare with it.

Hardmode in FFXI was before the patch. When CoP came out the hardmode was nuts. Mobs in Promyvion was all IT type and bosses were much more harder. It took a whole alliance just to clear Promy last time. There was lvl cap, Omega fight was nuts because he tend to go rampage and Sea mobs were super hard to kill. I finished all those before the easymode now.
Yeah. I'll be logging in on and off for the next 27 days. ><

Oh you mean hardmode when it got level cap in certain mission? I have a great fun with CoP when the expension came out. But not ToAU, quit the game when I get Lieutenant I think .. cuz many of my friend quit for RL reason. XD Nostalgia FFXI

first and foremost, a number who pre order for Standard got f**ked over Garlond Goggles... those who sell the standard edition over the net have asked their supplier and they said they will get it for sure
when i received the game damn!!! none... what's happening now is that i told the game seller, he asked his supplier who said they should have the code and now they are asking their US supplier seems like Canada the whole region got f**ked... about 90% can't get the goggles
Fine! we spammed SE Customer Service
The Community? my US side is rather quiet too...
Masa, we are coming... lol! maybe with Halflife and Evinkar in the game, we can play properly ^-^

Dude, I do my all my CoP right after the expansion come out (I think some of the quest I do it twice to help friends). For me its not that hard or special. Only I feel joy and fun because played with my fellow LS. And that why there is no reason for me to brag about it.
I still remember every BC we have to queue up and what a long queue >.<. Even fellowship quest have to queue up lol

updating FFXIV...
Mmm... the response to FF XIV doesnt seem good. I'll wait for gamespot review. Will be skipping this game for now. Waiting for Star Wars The Old Republic sci fi MMO for a change. Too many fantasy based MMO currently on the market...
hmmm is there like buy 6 month and get 10usd or something?
so if i wanted to buy,i should buy the US then eh?
EDIT 1 : And 1 more thing, should i wait for ps3 version instead?
If you don't want to upgrade your PC, you can wait for PS3 but you cannot get graphic quality like PC. Your current PC can run with minimum setting. Even though minimum the graphic in FFXIV is still stunning. You read a few post above. There is few players that not satisfied with current UI lag and etc.. maybe you can wait for a few month first. PS3 is in the end of March 2011 Make your choice ^ ^
Guys, in offgamers site got sell ultimate game card for FFxiv payment options. if buy NA version, u guys think its possible to play monthly using that options or not?EU version is a bit expensive lah.
whats the difference between tin ore+1/+2/+3 and tin ore?
When you synt with it, it gave you more higher chance of obtaining better equipment, they give more durability.

when you purchase Ultimate Game Card, it is use for paying with Crysta. You buy UGC, then trade with Crysta, then you pay subscription fees.

Try to party with another person or two, because when one person teleports to a location, you can share the same teleport just by using one person's anima. I'm not too sure if you have to be near each other to do that though, but you must be in a party. Anyhow, try doing quests together to save anima and time.

Poisoning Arz join Palamecia server getting back Our old Midgard memory
my inventory full already =_= don knw which item to sell.. sigh
Do a little bit of research about craftings and stuff that you would want, see the markets about what items are hot on sales (Items like Moko Grass is not needed because is easily to get). Only get stuff you want and sell off the others. Is also important to only have items that suite your level. high tier items (Zinc Ore eg.) should be sell in bazaar a.s.a.p. They are rare and tends to be popular and expensive (Supply vs Demands).
I have advice for future players that are new to SE's(Square-Enix) way of doing MMOs. Is not like WoW, is tends to force users to use their brain to research, examine, trial & error on almost all the things in their Game. Like Crafting, there is now a theory that Weather effect our success or it may not, because there is certain time when you are a high ranking crafters, you try to synthesis a rank 1 items, it failed <miserably> but dont fret about it. This is what a good point of it. Where you get to taste the fail and when you succeed, you felt it worth so much. (Hardwork that pays give good mutual feelings).
And i know most players will have their thought that this game sux, let me tell you that WoW too when in it's initial start was very-very bad launch. Server crash and stuff, bugs and stuff. So give this game 4-5 months top if you feel you cannot handle the stuff. (Well although i dont find anything strange or game breaking to me, i only crash 2 time in gridania due to loading/rendering too much ).
Overall what im trying to say is that, if this game is too hard for you (the crafting, the battle tempo, the man--miqo'te) this game may not be for you as you are not a patient person. Especially crafting, is damn hell hard to do when you reach Rank 10. i cant imagine how to rank up till 20, may take me months (I gave up doing it and just be a supplier xD, although i slowly do so, but not so much, doing it for the sake of repairing.)
Added on October 3, 2010, 3:30 pmA lot of PMs have been send to me, i know sorry if i did not reply i was occupied/suck-in/seduce by the game it self(i admit, i got addicted despise the ui-lag[Yes you damn ui-sonnava ***** lag which im glad that is less lag than the beta's] i still love this game.)
p.s: i will try to get it up by tonight! xD tutorials.
Added on October 3, 2010, 3:42 pmfor researching, for now it may not be a best place to search but there's community, so here are the few site that haz place for market watch.
I cant find palamecia. I guess it's full and i cant join this server.
The character creation for this world is suspended cause over congested. A lot of other worlds the same also... have to wait a few hrs then try again... They should do something about this feature.. >_<;;
So many problem going through this game then ff11. Payment method already took me a week to settle. Now server congestion. Playing ff14 is worse then divorcing lol.

Look at it this way, the servers were officially opened like a week ago (Not counting beta, since beta was a limited amount of players and certain parts of the world only).. So usually the first month they'll be a lot of updates and fixes. But judging from the previous FF11, hopefully it'll become much better.

DS come figaro my ls got few r25 crafters easy to get item lol Just bought a xbox controller for FFXIV, yay
Agree with you on lvl and fun part but if you have crafters in your ls, at least u won't need to go every where just to find your item while can avoid 'potong leher' situation when buying at reasonable price.

really frustrated on how they implement the retainer/bazaar system. When we wanna browse on someone and we saw a damn cheap price item, before we buy it, they ran off and disappear while we forgot to memorize his name..... happen all the time in those crowded bazaar area Orz....
can i know when i able to take new leve i need to exchange with the old 1 ... the star beside means ?
i got no idea what is that and i simply exchange LOL

disabled already only increase to 4kbps ..starting it was downloading at 160kbps i tried ffxiv.zam.com but cannot find the patch..can give specific link Thanks!
Now I'm totally agree with them(Cannot login atm ) shouldn't be giving us a whole crap of xxx while charging us for it... we need another free month in order to give SE chances or we just cancel our payment straight away, bla bla bla....(still cannot login Orz...)
P/S:After I got kicked and login and then another kick... my internet just won't work...reboot and works fine but login to ff again, the internet speed just stop... really frustrating now XD
I've got a question. I have a "Dodoskin Leggings" that doesn't favor the Marauder. Even though it doesn't favor the Marauder class, I'm still able to equip it, what exactly does an equipment favoring a class do? Is there any effect if I wear any equipment that doesn't favor my current class?
Maybe it is too early to introduce the game to my friends. Some of them bought the game after I introduced it to them and now they are quitting due to the bad gameplay and problems.
Felt bad when have to ask them to buy the game and pay monthly subscriptions when they told me even FREE games are way better than this. Felt guilty here.
Anyway I am still trying to continue playing. But mist of the reviews are bad.

Since midnight, I login to solo my r20, the 1st quest was fine and all, so I figured I can continue so I took my 2nd quest w/ guild marks... r0 during 2nd fight then kick out... wtf.... no mood for FF so hit the bed. Wake up early and getting prepared to do my 3rd quest w/ 1xk gil reward, quest started and I'm running towards to area then FF stopped working... omfg, really "sui" like this, made me curse SE more XD...
i think problem is the amount of time u need to spend while se say it will be more casual its not, it is more soloable but it still take huge amount of time to get around and do things.

Agreed, i totally hated the levequest system that resets every 36 hours... and was frustrated when i was doin a levequest last night reward worth 6k gil .. i got DCed halfway, i cant get a new 1.. and have to wait 36 hours? Bah~~~

yup.. they should change the system a bit.. it was frustrated when u doing the best reward leve quest then u dc due to unforeseen circumstances.. instead of fail right away, they should let the timer continue and if we didnt return to game to finish it till the time out, then the leve will fail
hmm i played for about 2hour in Wutai..didnt encounter any dc problem. but got lost in da game afew time hehe (1st time playing) i also want one!(also a glad without shield)
im always broke in game too... luckly got LS to sponsor thier 2nd hand shields, rings n so on.. hahaha... i just realise that im using sheepskin harness not the dodoskin ones...
anyway.. have u all done the main story quest for Rank 15? super cool weih... (i did the Limsa story line) worth all the errors and bugs.. hhahahaha.. cant wait to turn 20 so i can continue with the quest...
I personally want AUCTION HOUSE back lol.......... wuts the point of so many craftsman job and all u got is the bazaar, ppl only put items in bazaar to avoid tax in ff11 cause some items selling for 45 million will get a lot of tax.........

i also want auction house, it shorten our time wasted.. but i think SE wont allow auction house bcoz they want to control the economy.. lets say i want to sell 1 stack of copper ore, the first thing i do is search for the lowest price ppl sell so i can sell it cheaper than him, then another one do the same thing and sell cheaper than me, in the end copper price will drop drastically.. i think this is what SE wants to avoid..

so currently where ppl sell their items atm?? is there a convenient place for us to look for items that is crafted by another crafter?

It will scale down. check the difference by "counting" it lol.

It's like only less than a week since the game launched (don't count beta). So as most mmorpgs.. the first first few weeks there will be more downs than ups while they tweak, patch and make the game better. For now, just enjoy the game as it is, not nec to go hardcore, unless you really want to. Throw some feedbacks about ups and downs of the game on SE site. Even with previous FF11, it was a month to two before everything started stablising and the game got better.

Hehe enough of complain and whining. We should head to ffxivcore forum in their review section for more of these reviews topic.
You can read comments and reviews from players with various background even ffxi fans.
Have fun~
If we don't complain to SE then how are we able to expect them to do what they suppose to do in the 1st place - make the game suck less and improve on day to day basis. I'm happy as I've tried since OB till last night when the incident happened. Of course people will whine but if the whining is continuous, then we should take note.
I've sent a comment to SE and hope they will improve the current problem which most players are facing - server congestion.
I'm cool now since I'm in office lol . Just that when something unfortunate happen to not only me but other players too, I feel for them. Tonight will pray to all 'gods' 1st before I launch my game lol

I don't mean that we shouldn't give constructive comments. Check this thread, some of the players are annoyed with all these whiners.
SE won't come and notice lowyat forum and we just complaints among Lowyat community. So as I wrote there we should go to MAJOR site and forum to give our view and discussions.
Cool down man. Good thing you sending msg to SE.
Try check the replies on earlier post, ppl are annoyed with all these dy.

1st, I already cool as my office is damn cold...
IMHO, major or minor sites doesn't matter much to SE(unless you're JP). The best way is just write a comment to SE directly regarding this issue. I hope they will at least alert new players(if possible restrict) to get into other server w/ less people to avoid congestion because most asian players' play time are the same.
se most likely wont listen to ur complains lol, after 8 years i already gave up having the idea that they will listen to players....
i do noticed outside of town i can max my settings with my 480 sli but it drops in town to half even if its empty with no one around, anyone else having similar thing?

It's true they won't listen lol, as they read players' comment, jk . I never had much problem during my FFXI years till this one lol which really hit my nuts. They know they cannot screw up because if they do, they'll break their promise to make FFXIV better than WOW or worse, no more $$/fans/new players, so I give them chance to repay me back my frustration.
Argh... Finally at last I can play. The internet is up at last, no thanks to TM. Had to tinker with the port cabinet myself, well, with my trusted friend ahaha What the hell, change internet port pun susah nak tukar ke? Keje 5 minit pun tangguh sampai 2 minggu
Anyways, any Afterlife members at Wutai now? I wonder how to get linkpearl from juine?

You'll need less than an hour to get from lvl 1 - 8. One hour every 36 hours is enough.
