FFXIV Beta 3 Gameplay - 5 Star Difficulty Questing(15 member party) with Commentary by Rocs Lock HD

[Tokysliding69]

What is the maximum amount of people that you can have in a single party(group)?

[JustSayTony]

The Cure in this game seems troublesome. From what I've seen you can not heal a single party member. So basically, healing = more aggro which means quicker death for healers. But maybe I'm wrong.

[WolfgangPain]

is it easier to make some fawking gil ??

[Fantasy11009]

oh one other question i forgot to ask, what city do you suggest starting at?

[Fantasy11009]

is ffxiv worth the buy? like first off is it better than 11 because i loved it and would play for hours. Is there any stupid interfaces that they tweeked with?

[Spectra989]

Hey man Thanks alot for all the videos you put up, your doing a great job, Square enix is really pissing me off with how they are like not showing anything that has to do with this game but shit theatrical trailers.

I hope we can play together, i got the game yesterday had to go through 10 hours of updates and today theres been maintenance all day lmao.... square should really get thier shit together

[SiyReign]

reminds me of FFT

[redscorpio84]

man you guys that played the beta are gonna have a huge advantage when the game comes out.. cheaters..

[SuperxSharpxShooter]

I'm sorry this sound noobish, what's a linkshell?

and where can I educate myself about classes and characters in this game?

awesome video!!

[harlequin018]

@SuperxSharpxShooter A linkshell is just a group of players, similar to a party or a raid.

[Ixidane]

The quest seemed like it was like shooting Jellyfish in a Barrel.

[Scuby04]

FFXIV looks amazing, I been playing FF ever since the original for nes,cant wait till the release date.. Anyone know if there will be any kind of pvp system ?

[inpherno2]

@Scuby04 They have just recently announced that they have plans for PvP. There's already some PvP-specific skills in the game.

[snowbseas]

yo, love the vids man. keep them coming. 2 questions how does the stam thing wor that i heard about. and whats the max lvl?

[Session069]

anyone playing the beta with a nvidia 7200 graphics card?

[Zalaan]

@Session069 lol

[RayCoreMadness]

Ok i have the open beta key and downloaded the beta but when i click it says that it has stopped working ? , is that to do with my computer ?

[shinobi2k8]

Can you repeat quests and get the reward again? -Reply-

[RocsLock]

@shinobi2k8 Get the money but not the item

[VoxLoops]

At first camp you can basicly solo 5star leves. Once you hit lvl 10 leves you need about 5 for 5star leves. Once you hit lvl 20 leaves you need about 8. And at lvl 30 you need around 15.

This is the way it was in BETA 3

[Druscaelan]

Also, you should separate chat channel from combat channel

[Druscaelan]

15 fully armored with steel and magic guys, to kill 2 TERRIBLE jellyfish?

[Phireflies]

Is the Surplus mechanic aka Fatigue system in place while you've beta'd. And what is your views on it?

Also as a Mage, Ranged Caster player, which class would be the most appropriate?

Which class do you find the most fun?

[TheElphin]

Hey rocs, just wondering if we can choose the server or the game chooses the server for you just like in FFXI?

[TL0Wish]

@TheElphin You pick your own server in beta, as well as in the actual game release. Group with your friends!

[Tenkai218]

Does it seem like people try to group in the beta or does everyone usually just solo?

[TL0Wish]

@Tenkai218 It's more popular to solo because the difficulty system is broken. Or was as of beta 3. Picking 5* legion didn't make the mobs any harder. It was more profitable as far as xp gain to solo.

[SuzakuFinix]

i love your vids i just wish you would play GLD more often

[Suskei]

can both mage classes be healers?

[TL0Wish]

@Suskei Yus. They can.

[youGOTpwndFYI]

THANKS ROCSLOCK YOU SOLD THIS GAME TO ME

[youGOTpwndFYI]

@xSabrewulfx look man honestly money should be hard to get in games no matter what. from playing phantasy star universe, money is so easy to come by its rediculous. i would like this game to be difficult and self rewarding.

[AlexLGagnon]

You're talking about doing your Leves for crafting classes. Does that mean crafting leves can give skill points in a specific crafting class? Also, aren't normal leves more profitable for experience, seeing we can only do 8 per 48 hours?

[RocsLock]

@AlexLGagnon yeah you get skill points for either class

[Session069]

which class is the healing class thaumatrage or conjurer?

[RocsLock]

@Session069 either

[Redemptionx666]

@RocsLock Conjure. thaumatrage has a heal yes but its actually "Sacrifice" not cure..... sacrifice takes hp to cast

[xSabrewulfx]

Hey Rocs Whats up man i got some questions for you.

1. Which Class is the actual main Tank? I see u did pug but didnt seem like much tanking going on just full zerg lol..

2. How is the EXP system does it take a long time to reach party level? ffxi was lvl 10

3. I know this maybe a very early question to ask but how is the Gil/Money in the game.. is it still extremely hard to get Gil like ffxi?

Thanks alot man ill be playing as well on the 22nd

[TL0Wish]

@xSabrewulfx 1. The system was made to make the classes super flexible. A lot of the DoW classes have vokes and whatnot. I guess, if you had to pick one, gladiator would be a popular tanking class.

2. FFXIV lets you level a bit faster than in FFXI, especially with the addition of leves granting bonus xp. We have to wait until real to find it all out though, because xp gain seems to be upped for testers.

[AKIR0Z]

What's this thing I heard about on a forum about fatigue exp? Apparently there's a LOT of hard core gamers that are unhappy about it. I hear it's supposed to be casual-player friendly. Anyone know any more about this "Fatigue Exp" on FFXIV? I'd like to know how exactly it works.

[sergel02]

thanks for the videos.

i was wondering tho what the story is? like what are you supposed to be working towards? and your videos mainly show crafting & classes, but what kind of quests are there in the game? can you maybe show a vid accepting a quest or something like that?

[poisonedsodapop]

Which class are you in this video? I'd like to know which is the better support class or if it helps to dabble in multiple classes to get the best group support skills?

[RocsLock]

@poisonedsodapop I just like to change around for fun. Im Tham in this video.

[GUkraine]

I agree with alot of the people... I'm at work so I can't view your video till tonight, but I've noticed the lack of Gladiators and Archers..... I play on being an archer, but I hope they arnt the dragoons of FFXIV :(

[Humster]

FOR THE OVERMIND!

[Idioteq37]

Have you done a leve 1 star and 5 star to see the difference between the amount of exp you get. I am guessing it is more but I wonder if it is worth the time it takes to form a party and play...rather than solo and get them done quicker.

[Monkeybutt2617]

Whoops sorry, just saw the you already posted that info. At least I think so lol, I don't know if Kefka is a server name but I'm guessing it is.

[Monkeybutt2617]

Great videos RocsLock, keep it up! Any idea what server you're going to play on release? It'd be awesome to group with you sometime.

[RocsLock]

@Monkeybutt2617 not sure, all are fun

[xwarxlegacyx]

no archer in your party :( lol

[Raulong0]

charge! lol

[Zadok12321]

Hey man, you said leave a comment for questions and i sadly haven't gotten into the beta yet haha. So, I got a couple quick questions if you got the time i'd greatly appreciate it.

1. Any perks on the race as far as stats etc...

2. Can you just take one character and max out every class on it? (recommend?)

3. I'm not seeing to many archers in your vids. Are they unfavored/weak?

4. What are you going to play at release?!?!

Alright thanks man, later!

[RocsLock]

@Zadok12321

1. All stats are roughly the same.

2. Yes.

3. I have an archer video I will be uploading, they are great dps.

4. Not sure.

[Zadok12321]

@RocsLock Right on man thanks for responding and posting all these videos, hopefully seeya in game some day. later-

[Raansu]

Your running the game at max? Ambient Occulsion on and Anti-Aliasing on max to? I guess I shoulda gone with Nvidia -_-. I got the AMD 6 core and the Radeon HD 5970 and I got everything maxed out except for AA and AO. My frame rate drops alot when AO is enabled. 8x AA it can handle, but it hiccups alot in the city. What resolution are you playing at? I hope SE adds more support for Radeon. It has gotten a little better. Last patch fixed weather. Dont lag during sandstorms rain anymore.

[lordtyrant420]

Thx for all the vids man. Im hoping you keep posting vids after the release since i like the great job you are doing explaining how things work in game. I am dieing to play but dont have the money to put out for a new PC. So keep the vids coming so i have something to look forward to with the PS3 release.

[YeahHahaDude]

@lordtyrant420 same :/

[2009demonangel]

@lordtyrant420 Yes Please Rocs, please keep posting I too am waiting for the PS3 release and would love to see more vids of the final release.

[RocsLock]

@lordtyrant420 I am planning on it

[Enviros]

Thanks Rocs

[redrosefriendy]

@Cleansoda How mature...
