Here’s the Thing: Try Again

Nate has found an MMO that is actually holding his attention for longer than a week. Square's revamp of Final Fantasy XIV has caught his attention and in turn he's offering advice for other MMO developers.

It's a great MMO. The only downside is having to play with idiots.

Everlastingfate4461d ago

I'm not disagreeing but I am curious, what specific behavior are you referring to?

NegativeCreepWA4461d ago (Edited 4461d ago )

Probably people that don't play as good as he'd like them to. In other words hes one the people that makes the community bad.

Ratty4461d ago (Edited 4461d ago )

@NegativeCreepWA

That or I'm reacting to the people that make the community bad ;p

@Everlastingfate

I'm referring to the kind of people who don't communicate and constantly make the same mistakes, thus getting the party killed over and over again. I acknowledge that some PS3 players don't have a keyboard for some reason and that's not entirely bad but there's no excuse not to read what your team mates are trying to tell you (like WILL YOU PLEASE STOP ATTACKING THE BOSS?)

I'm also referring to the idiots who whine at you for not skipping cutscenes when you're viewing them the first time.

That said, I've partied with some awesome people as well.

Everlastingfate4461d ago

Thank you for clarifying. I have never played an MMO beyond the Beta. I'm really enjoying the Beta but I don't want the frustrations of playing with people like those that you mentioned. I can see how frustrating that could be.

Ratty4461d ago (Edited 4461d ago )

But it's still worth it if you have a good FC. You can also clear a lot of dungeons up to level 30 with the duty finder but it gets harder from there.

Edit: I think the 'skip the cutscenes' thing has been fixed since I left. They upped the currency rewards on non-story dungeons to deter people from farming story dungeons.

Everlastingfate4461d ago

Why the disagree with my question? How can you even disagree with a question?

Ratty4461d ago

I tend to take disagrees like that with a laugh. However, it's also quite likely that bots are the ones "hitting" disagree or agree in those cases.

It's also possible people just don't like the person posting and automatically disagree with all their comments.

Best not to take the agree system too seriously.

Everlastingfate4461d ago

I'm flattered that some one is pathetic enough to follow me around the site and disagree with me over nothing.

Free Company/LS are there for a reason.

Ratty4461d ago

I agree but with my busy schedule, I often needed to patch one or two holes in a party with the finder.

DC7774461d ago (Edited 4461d ago )

Inclined to agree. Great game but being forced to party with idiots to progress became too much. I would rather have had bot team members in dungeons than some of these fools.

Awesome game. Just would rather one could finish it solo then multiplay from there.

Insomnia_844461d ago

I played the PS3 Beta and decided not to buy it because it sucked me in really hard. I went to work with no sleep because of it that day. For my own good I didn't buy it. I found it very addictive.

mr.selfdestruct4461d ago

My friend and I had a blast last night. We're both lvl 11 archers and decided to go exploring we made it from Gridania to Ul'dah. Soo much fun!!!

il-JumperMT4461d ago

I play the full game on PC but I have PS3 and will be upgrading to PS4 version (PS4 Version is smoother then my PC Version)

Here are some tips:

Lancer:
Use Heavy Thrust from Side of Mob to gain damage buff.

As Puglist, Use the following:
From behind: Bootshine, True Strike
From Side: Twin Snakes, Snap Punch.

THM:
Spam fire until out of mana, use transpose then spam ice until you regain mana, then repeat.

Arcanist:
Do NOT use Yellow Carby in groups

Conjurer:
The faster you learn to stance dance with Cleric Stance to DPS and heal the better

Tanks:
You can move out of cone attacks and then go back in during animation and you will not take damage. You have only to wait until the attack bar is max to move in, this allows you to dodge damage without making the mob turn around.
Do the above tips to see your dps skyrocket in groups for melee dps(lvl 15+)

IIZANGETSUII4461d ago

Oh wow i always used the yellow thing in groups LMAO

NegativeCreepWA4461d ago

Its surprising how many Dragoons don't use Heavy Thrust, It should be up at all times.

I main a Tank, I've had Arcanist that literally believe they were queuing as a tank with Topaz Carbunkle.

IIZANGETSUII4461d ago (Edited 4461d ago )

So i was playing the PS4 beta, got to lvl 20 and bam, no more exp, thats it for the beta? Anyone knows?

il-JumperMT4461d ago

Cap is lvl 20. Also for Yellow Carby, he is basically Tank pet. You CAN use him in emergencies or if you know how to micro to help a low level tank who cannot tank multiple mobs, but most of the time you will not need to.
