Tips and Tales #12: Patch 1.20, Billing Fees, FFXIV 2.0

[bmdshred77]

I just want to say I watched the whole tips and tales playlist tonight while at work. Thank you so much for these videos cuz I was kinda lost at the game coming in this late in cycle. I'm much more secure in my decision to give game a chance again because of your videos and how much more playable game is and will be. Really looking forward to game and the good community that I enjoyed from XI. Something mmos miss today.

[bmdshred77]

I started back now. I want the bard class back. Hope that is one coming in 1.21. Right now my conjurer is lvl 12 and it's definitely better but I'm little lost in a big world of only Asian speaking players. They are very nice but once I reply English they just kinda say sorry to hear that and move on. Lol don't blame em the translator is slow to use.

@bmdshred77 Bard will be unlocked in 1.21. You will need to level up archer to 30 and conj to 15 to unlock it. If you are looking for more people to play with try looking at the server forums at the ffxiv lodestone website for linkshells that are recruiting.

As for stats alignment returning, it was much better having an option to change your stats. Whats the point in having job specific roles and stat choices if when you change your role your stats are still stuck set up for the previous role you used.... fail. I'm not paying for this game no way

[MithraTales]

@Vandarkboco97 You can still customize your class with abilities from other classes. The abilities equipped from other classes just wont be as powerful compared to someone using them with class that can learn the skill. The higher lvl abilities are now class specific because of player feedback to make the classes feel more unique. Also you can set your own attribute points for each class, all classes their own set of points. The ability to change those points will come with 1.21.

[Vandarkboco97]

@MithraTales Well the fact about being able to set stats for each class. I didn't know that and I am ok with that part now. I still miss the old way the ability's worked, I don't think it was the right way to make them more unique. They could have done something much better. Allot of the solo aspect is lost with this patch, and that is a massive disappointment for me as my aim for this game was to be powerful as an individual and in a group. Now it's just like XI all over again.....

[MithraTales]

@Vandarkboco97 I'd agree they could have changed the armory system in other ways. Soloing isn't gone, however. You can't fight monsters easily that are 10 or more levels above you solo anymore but you don't need to. The difficultly of leves and the amount of exp they award has been adjusted for solo play. It's also possible to find a spot to grind solo and get exp chains. That's what my friend Azu was doing in the video before I joined him. Party exp is still better though.

[Vandarkboco97]

@MithraTales Can you still power level well? Or is this also more difficult to achieve?

[MithraTales]

@Vandarkboco97 Well since the fatigue system is gone I'd say its much easier. Some changes were made to how power leveling with lower level players works to prevent exploits but its still possible to do it. According to the 1.21 patch note preview a rested exp bonus is also being added.

[Vandarkboco97]

Hmm I leveled all my jobs to level 50 so I could combine all my abilitys and be awsome... but once again SE are fools and they removed abilitys so you can't customize your classes. Now it's just another FFXI and honestly if I wanted to play FFXI I would just play FFXI.. There are things about FFXIV I liked but now those things are gone so t-.-t.

[ShinOwen2]

Very well done, I like how you did this.

[ImmortalPhoenix13]

The Market Ward was redone!? SWEET!

[Followingalegend]

Will ps3 cross platform with pc?

[bj121997]

You saound like my friend, Paige! =D

[wDeathw]

the image @ 12:23 only lancer could use that armor set? 

[MithraTales]

@wDeathw Yes, those are the first sets of job specific armor.

[wDeathw]

@MithraTales ok thx, i guess ill be using lancer for now on

[Dirtypotatoeater]

Oh, no :( That was very depressing.

[Raptor8762]

Hi, is there any news of there being North America only servers around the time of the 2.0 version? In game language translators are fail and i would really like for everyone on my server to speak my own language so i can communicate with them.

[MithraTales]

@Raptor8762 I can't find a direct quote but it has been said in the past they are considering dividing servers up by language/location. Exactly when or how they will do it is unknown.

[Aitlerify]

@MithraTales Well this would just be fail... I prefer playing with those all over the world, including those I can't speak with!

[masterYIP702]

[Cookietovar1]

[Neocorey11]
