I really really wish the 5 dots ARN can use had durations that synced up nicely so i could just recast them in sequence every 30 seconds or whatever
Now I'm gonna have to come up with a rotation and shit
And also that there was a way to make it so only my dots showed up on the boss bar, which is only an issue in fates where it doesnt super matter but still, all that clutter god damn
Your dots and debuffs on the boss bar have the numbering in green so you can see which ones are ticking down. Just noticed that yesterday.
I'm finding it really hard to find areas with a lot of quests for my level. I just hit 23, but I had to repeat a lot of leves and fates to get there. I've travelled between the equivalent level areas around each starting city a good bit to make sure I'm not missing any, but it seems like each level gets me a handful of new ones that get me halfway to the next level if I'm lucky.
I guess it wouldn't be much of a problem if I could advance the main quest and do the instance dungeons, but the duty finder being what it is...
...the duty finder has worked fine since they turned off the login queue 2 days ago?
It has worked exactly once for me, and that time took the greater portion of three hours.

Yeah its is kind of a pale pastel green, which is useful on say a light party dungeon boss where worst case I am one of two ARN and maybe the CNJ or THM are throwing up their one dot each so I can pretty easily tell mine apart
But on a fate boss it is literally impossible to find and track 5 green numbers in a sea of white numbers underneath identical icons
Plus it really just looks ugly to have 50+ skill icons under a boss bar

also I feel insane because I'm looking up DoT durations to try and figure out a good rotation order and everything says thunder only lasts 12 seconds and aero is 18 but I was positive thunder and aero had the same duration
I mean so sure about it that, for 20+ levels, I have been casting Thunder and then Aero immediately after because the durations synced up
I hate to think I'd been wasting a good 4-6 seconds of every Aero for that long

I think either you or whoever wrote what you're reading is confusing Thunder for Thundercloud, the level 28 passive trait for Thaumaturge. Thundercloud gives your Thunder spells a 5% chance per damage tick to make your next Thunder 1/2/3 do all its damage up front and be instant cast with no MP cost. Thunder the damage spell lasts for 18 seconds. The buff that Thundercloud gives lasts 12 seconds.
So, despite them saying you'd get the special subscriber benefits immediately if you paid for 3 months up front
There doesn't actually seem to be a way to just buy 3 months outright. You can set up a 3 month billing cycle, but if you've registered your game that just means you don't get those 90 days until after the 30 day trial is over.
I can't find any way to just straight up pay for 3 months of game time.
Nearest way I can figure those people who have the benefit did it is by allowing their pre-registration accounts to lapse and go ahead and take the bump for the 90 days.
But maybe there is a way, and I'm just missing it in square enix's god awful account website.

My current rotation is Bio 2, Miasma, Thunder, Aero, Bio. The reason I do Bio last is since it's an instant cast that procs the GCD, you're left with a dry spell of nothing to do.
Which is the perfect time to use Energy Drain since it acts outside the GCD. I'm hoping that Fester also acts outside the GCD like Energy Drain does.
Hell, I like how they've done the music in this game over all. I tend to turn off the music in most MMOs because it's just kinda, there, only popping up from time to time.
Man, i keep seeing summoners running around and am left wondering how they did that. did phase 4 of the beta carry over or something? Or are people that dedicated?

phase 4 did in fact carry over, and some people are that dedicated
I love this game. I'm almost 38. I just unlocked Titan after the dumbest question chain. I was farming fates earlier in an 8 man party and it was surprisingly fun.
Please look forward to farming fates from 40-45 in Coerthas cause quests kinda fall away.
The dungeons are all super cool and involved for the most part. I got some upgrades on my Bard.
I'm going away for the weekend so I'm just going to stockpile rested for the road to 50 when I get home. Then I'm not sure what ill do, probably run a bunch of dungeons and try get gear and then level some sub classes and crafting.
There's just so much to do right now. Aaaah.
I am sad that I'm not playing with you guys but most of the goons are good people and our FC is already at max rank and we chain all the buffs!

its the order in which they aggro onto you I think
you mean the little a b c etc next to the names?
so you can tell them apart without using the symbols maybe??? it reminds me of the chain system in ff12 which gave monsters letters like that (or I think it did, I played for like an hour over 3 years ago)
Word on the street is that Sargatanas is temporarily allowing character creation. Not sure how long that will last but if you see this message jump on it!

I have now done 15 lancer on one character and 15 arcanist on the other, switching to conj and going full white mage for a while but man this game is pretty. And chaining is pretty fun too
I'm going away for the weekend. No playing until Sunday. I just want to stay home and grind Botany! Need to catch up to my cooking so I can get the right ingredients.

I am bummed as hell about this.

This is where I got that number from
Glad to know I'm not crazy though

Not exactly mechanically involved as fights go, though better than the average low level claptrap in WoW
But fucking holy moly was that arena cool looking, and Ifrit's model was awesome and and and
you guys
I like this game
Hell, I like how they've done the music in this game over all. I tend to turn off the music in most MMOs because it's just kinda, there, only popping up from time to time.
I probably won't ever turn FF14's music off.
Like I gather Gladiators could really get use out of some more damage abilities, Protect and Cure from Conjurer, etc while soloing
But I could never wrap me head around that stuff
phase 4 did in fact carry over, and some people are that dedicated
they are the crazy though

kind of boring. you also lose aero when you move to summoner
want Dropbox? use my referral! | steam
done

All efficient rotations are pretty boring when you get down to it.
I mean shit, THM 90% of the time can be reduced do:
Have mana? Fire
Don't have mana? Ice.

Gonna jump on everything.
Is that the TP restore?
He may mean Blood for Blood, the quite frankly absurd damage amp, which is 34?
My guess would be next week, when they install those server upgrades they were talking about
