I hate this word so much

Blame WoW. It started among players there, mostly due to their art style.

"Avatar" continues to be the only word used within the developer community.


Such as "Second Life". They use Avatar

Hey guys and galz
So yea I've been doing a little research about 14 cause I have access to the beta testing however, I can't gain access to the game unless I use my GFs computer. But apparently if you are Running windows 7 64 bit OS there this thing called WOW64 which is suppose to run programs that is only made for 32 bit OS to run in Windows on Windows 64. Apparently This is one of the issues that is causing people to get the gray or black screen for when opening the client ie. Downloader. I know my desktop can run it - the graphics card which shouldn't prevent the client/downloader from working properly. so the question is.... Does anybody know how to run programs under WOW64 if so this would be great help to alot of us. Also when I was trying to open the client and got the solution problem checker I went into the event logger and found there is also a compatibility issue I think this may because of the WOW64 not kicking in but I had tried all the possible compatibility mode and still did not work. So therefore, if you have Window 7 64 bit OS be prepared to end up doing alot of tweaking.
my 64-bit Windows 7 is my only machine that runs ffxiv.
Did you have to do any tweaking when you first got access or what?
No.
Huh... I don't understand than cause I've tried almost everything possible to run it. Unless there is some way that a graphics card can stop the client from running which I highly doubt it would do something like that. Before you ask its a Nvidia GeForce 7050 / nForce 620i integrated graphic which I do plan on getting a new PCI express Graphics card but I don't want to get and find out that there is still something else that is preventing me from playing

The action macros are this:

/equipaction [slot #] ["action name"] [main hand or sub hand]

Example:
/equipaction 2 "Wrist Flick" main

/equipaction 2 "Action name" sub
Oh god you have no idea how much I love you right now...

I switch back and fourth between Thau and Blacksmith so much and resetting the spells on thau everytime was driving me *** nuts.

For example, I'm maining pug right now. I would LIKE to switch to a samurai-type job later, assuming they add one. But Pug's main stat is dex, so that's what I've been working. Who knows what the sam-type job will end up needing, stat-wise?

All melee jobs generally need a mix of STR and DEX, I would hope you're not going all out on DEX and leaving STR gimp.

VIT adds +10HP, so shouldn't be missed too much.



No, I'm not, but I'm focusing more on dex than on str. Right now I'm going about 4, 2, 2 for dex, str, vit on some levels, and then on others, I might go 4, 3, 1. Just depends how much more HP I feel like I need. But it'll be disappointing if new classes come out that take better advantage of str or vit than pug does, and then I'm screwed :|

Just a few more questions, 'cuz I'm getting conflicting answers in-game:

- Do we basically only have rank 1 equip/armor available in beta? I've seen some higher rank stuff, but only from player crafters, and for ridiculous sums. (300k for a non rank 1 sword.) The bazaar system is ridiculous -- 70 NPC's haphazardly crowded into a space all selling the same trash mob drops. I hope that's not the only way to find anything.

- Are these the only classes? The lack of differentiation is worrisome. (Nuke and heal roles in the same class?) I'm really hoping that going Gladiator doesn't make me a tank forever, and that I'll get to branch into a prestige class or something later. (A la playing Warrior to get to Samurai in FF11.)

- Is your class selection at character creation basically just to get you starting equipment? The Armoury system implies you can switch classes at will, but my main character info screen "class" doesn't change when I go from say, Gladiator to Conjurer weapon.
The real class list has been released and it has more jobs. As for the Bazaars, unfortunately its the only way to find things. All rank1 equip is sold by NPC. Anything else is either gained by crafting or by doing leves. I can't imagine this going past release though. My guess is the reason you cant buy higher rank stuff from NPCs or the outrageous prices is bc they're encouraging people to craft to iron out the system for now.

Real class list? What other jobs are there?

it was something about .dat files or someshit that someone found. they're not "official" and might just be test classes.

Can you make a single macro equip like 9 spells? Or do I need to make a separate CRTL/ALT + # for each spell?

If they a really did add that, it'd most likely be as to Cor as Lancer is to DRG, or Thau is to RDM.

I don't know, so far I've only seen those macros. I'm an archer so I don't have magic spells.

It does have a ***load of lines though, only way is to test it. Or maybe another mage knows if it does work.

Why didn't my tutors have whips, srsly?

Think I'll learn some whip attacks, then change over to Shepherd to practice my mad skills on some sheep booty.

I dunno, I'm suspecting some kind of NIN / DRK merger.
