[FFXIV] Old HW launch thread

Are DPS still enjoying quick dungeon pops?

Relatively. I tended to wait around 5 minutes sub-50.
I'm not worried. Generally whenever a Lalafel tries to do something they always come up short.
Just imagine the generic big fat crime lord, but as a Lala.
Don't worry, I'm sure this short bout of disrespect will pass and things will start looking up for lalafells.
Little steps.
This is brilliant
Just top notch
I started a Black Mage. Fun so far but I need to look more into this umbral system.
What is the point of being alive if you don't at least try to do something remarkable? ~ Mario Novak
I never fear death or dyin', I only fear never trying.
A pun so top shelf, a Lalafel would need a ladder to get it.
Is this level of developer communication normal for FFXIV?
Very much so, it's a nice change of pace from typical industry standards.

I'm getting this message:
What gives?
Did you actually enter your Heavensward game code or just the early access?
PSN Hypacia
Xbox HypaciaMinnow
Discord Hypacia#0391
Neither?
I don't own Heavensward yet. I'm still well behind the point where the story would take me past the gate, so I haven't yet bought the expansion.
Did they make Heavenswaed mandatory to play last night?
No, HS is and will never be mandatory to play. At least, I can't see any way that would turn out well for them.
Have you had the game long? I did a quick google search on the error and saw some posts from people stating they'd just get it ~1-4 times before getting into the game or that it the message would appear if PSN was down/in maintenance.
Earlyish 3.0 (lvl51):
Had it for a while, yes.
I don't know what I expected but this Zo Ga's pimp swagger is impressive.
He will be a worthy foe.
He has quite an explosive personality.
Anyway. I've got THM at 26 and ACN at 27 and I have no idea where to go to level. Which zone offers the best FATE participation from the community in this level range, and what zone has good/easy Levequests?
You wouldn't be saying that if I was there waving my sward around now would you?
You're getting close to the HW FATE train. Check out Costa Del Sol, probably can do it at 27.
You are not incorrect. But for some reason, HS just makes more sense to me as a shorthand, even if it is incorrect. HW just makes me think of highway.
Also, making it sound like the expansion might be HeavenSward does amuse me.
But I'll use whatever I see people using more.
1) How do SCH skills function when level-sync'd to a lower level? Let's say I queue a duty roulette as a scholar and draw Sastasha, what skills will be available to me at level 15, since Scholars don't even exist until 30?
2) Do scholars work off of INT, or are they a MND class? If they are MND, does that mean that switching back and forth between Scholar and Summoner will let me assign Int and Mind separately? If not, can I "trick" the game by just loading all my points into INT and then cross-class Cleric stance and swap my Int/Mnd? In this instance, it would raise my mind stat to that of a healer? And basically if I was running Scholar I would also always run cleric stance.
3) Which butterfly gives all the cool shields? That's the one I want to use. The draw of being a scholar is shielding people. If I want direct heals, I'll just play WHM, which I've already got at 40.
Not sure about the other two.
The crafting system sounds pretty overwhelming though. Should I already start the crafting stuff or should I wait?

The crafting system is a game in and of itself. You can definitely try it out and mess around with it but be careful it is a very deep chasm

And her voice.
I wish to be cradled in her voice forever.
...Yes, this can be a very deep hole to fall into. Also a very expensive one. Missing three 70% chances in a row suuucks.

Y ou may not have the basic tools to craft yet. Once you get hold of them, completing crafts is fairly simple. HQ'ing them with any degree of reliability or certainty is the challenge
Because as a potion factory, it's garbage.
Potions and a few weapons. Potions are used quite a lot and are a pretty steady income provided you are talking the higher tier stuff and not like hi-potions and such.
It's a niche craft to be sure but the stuff it does make can be pretty consistent profit wise.

"Old-school D&D" he says talking about third-edition. When I started playing classes had race & level restrictions and we liked it! Feats were what gully dwarves walked around on and you made saving throws vs. death if you made saving throws at all!
