I think I need to level my PUG 5 levels or so to unlock Dragoon, then I need to work on getting my AF and a better weapon

I'll have to do some quests on my cat first but I can go conjurer then if you wanna go Archer or something. At least I know where to go since I've done the quests on my 1.0 (though not up to the Dungeon part) My Archer is my most geared up class, but yeah I think it sounds fun lol
Also if you get to 20 if you talk to the right NPC you can instantly get to 15(it's just for the beta though) >_> could have just went to 20 and THEN went for others :( oh well lol
Is it legit though and not just something they forgot to remove? :| It's just there for the beta, guess so you can test out jobs if you want to. I know they had that in phase 1 and 2, didn't know they kept it for phase 3 o.o
What does this super slutty NPC look like, anyway? One of the 2 possible appearances... armour changes depending on what class you picked for them.

I kinda wish we still had them, I liked that aspect of 1.0 :|
although the whole battle chocobo thing has me perplexed... I have yet to unlock that yet ... not really sure how close I am to dungeons ... or any of that mess.

I really like the new retainer outfits...they are like airline hostesses. Sadly, they all seem to have the same personality as of Phase 3--but in some cases maybe that's an improvement.
One of my retainers in 1.23 was such an @$$#0!3...she was constantly giving me attitude whenever I interacted with her. The new generic personality is so much better for her. ^_-
It's unfortunate that even with the reactivation of Legacy characters that we have to redo so many storylines and quests (like rejoining GC's) just to regain points/perks, but I guess that's how they wanted it.

It kinda levels the playing field a bit that way since a lot of people playing will have level 50 characters.

Did you get a chance to reactivate your old chara yet? I had to jump through a lot of in-game hoops with mine.
I was hoping for things like auto-insertion of old gear into Armoury Box, or auto-population of skills into the UI pane, but it doesn't do that. I put in feedback on that, but at this point I am not sure if that was by design or not (i.e. they want players to tweak skills and actions to their preference, or pull out gear from the Calamity Salvager NPCs one-by-one, etc.) :/ Hopefully they change that, as chara recovery is kind of cludgey at the moment, in my view at least.
Was just wondering how others felt on that. All of my other friends are too busy leveling new charas on the beta LOL. ;_;

I played mine for a bit but it was kinda boring when there's no real 35+ content and because you have to do story missions over and over I just hopped on my beta character instead lol. I did poke around and kill some 40+ mobs though, to see what they dropped.
Might just be me but my character felt super weak. Might just be the weapon I had (it was dated because it doesn't exist in the game anymore) but I usually couldn't even 1 shot a level 9 monster on my level 50 lancer with Chaos Thrust.

My only issue is that I can't equip my GC gear so some of my jobs had nothing to wear unless I go buy some random stuff XD

Yah that's what I was mentioning about earlier, in having to jump through a lot of hoops--advancing main missions or whatever just to be able to reach GC-clearance levels, only to be able to wear old GC gear that was part of each of my job-sets. :/
Have to settle on low-level stuff or stored AF's in the meantime. Oh well, it was still nice to see the old chara again, though. :p

Oh, yes, but I didn't tweak the character attribute points before getting into fights...I figured that had something to do with it. But you guys had tweaked all of your points and still had damage-dealing issues?

Yeah it just felt too weak for a 50 :| I mean I had no problem with higher level mobs but I had to spam my abilities to kill them (I avoided the hits so it's not like I was gonna die). I just figured I'd be able to do much more damage as a 50 and not like... 120ish on a level 9 :/

So been seeing ifrit pictures, looks ... amazing D: how's the fight (if any of you have done it) Keep it away :3 The fight itself isn't so bad if you have a competent healer, lots of running for all 4 ppl is required because Ifrit does 2 moves
1. he summons a timed crystal thing that will explode on random people(doesn't seemed like it's enmity based), this all of you have to outrun, does about 200+ dmg even on a mage class;
2. a full zonewide AOE with random safespots after its HP gets lower than 50%, this can oneshot a DD class with 600+ HP.
Avoid these 2 moves at all cost, it puts a burden on the CNJ REALLY HARD
Also, around 60% HP Ifrit summons a fetter, after the fetter is defeated Ifrit will use a unavoidable AOE (Astral flow type move) that does about 200~300 dmg to whole pt, and follow with a conal dmg, DO NOT MOVE IN FOR MEDICA EVEN IF YOU'RE CNJ, YOU WILL DIE.
save Limit Break for till you get 2 bars and start unleashing them @ 20% to ensure victory.
That sums up about the entire fight, it's fun and challenging because you have VERY short time to run from those crystal bombs and the radius is kinda big, small server lag can make you eat the spell, interrupt whatever you're doing and use sprint is advised.

My friend with AF and the Ifrit spear did around the same damage (little higher because it had more damage). I hope they let us deal more damage in Phase 4 and release.

I found my damage at 50 didn't seem as much higher as it should be compared to at lv 1 yeah. Idk if it's just something to do with how damage is calculated vs lower level mobs or something though.

Even on higher level mobs you don't deal a lot of damage. I guess them not having a ton of HP helps but I still felt a bit too weak for a max level. You're supposed to be able to deal high damage when you cap out in a game. That's kind of the point in having levels.

You're supposed to be able to deal high damage when you cap out in a game. That's kind of the point in having levels. It could have to do with them using a gear ladder system as well... Relic weapons were Gear lv90something when I checked someone with one I think so you end up being alot stronger geared at 50 than just 50 with 50 gear. It's also possible their focus on level was survivability and abilities rather than raw damage.

Have you not read the beta schedule? lol
You can only play phase 3 on weekends, phase 4 hasn't started yet.
This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
