Does anyone understand how the Lotting system works. Trying to understand how it decides if you Need it or not. Also wondering if what I am hearing is true about Need always overlots Greed.
Need always wins vs greed and you can only need if your current job can equip it. Sucks for those with multi 50s :(


Ok Exactly what i thought til we had a run that an All Class Ring was Greed for me that I could use for my DPS Lancer but the TANK WAR had it as need for him. Made us think theres more to this Need/Greed than just the fact you can wear it.
I've run across this same issue. There was an All Class ring that would not let me roll 'need'. It would've been very useful to have.



On another note, what should I name my chocobo?
The stats on the accessories are optimized for certain roles (tank, melee DD, mage). So even though they're equipable by all classes, the need/greed system will only let you need if it's meant for the particular role you're playing.

not only this, but i think i remember somewhere about them saying that there are some type of restrictions with the need lotting system so you cannot need every item drop. @krizz, do you remember if you happened to roll a need on the previous drop?

After you unlock your job stone, there is job quests for 35, 40, 45(af head hands leg feet), 45 (skill iirc) and 50 (body, skill).

Im quite curious why they are doing maint again for 10 hours and not adding more servers. Gungnir was fine till they decided to open up the server to create more chars..

The easiest solution is to allow server transfers imo that way people will go to the new server etc

Version update + server fixes,instance fixes,etc

It's all in the notes if you had read it.

to be fair if they added more than 3 servers to begin with it wouldnt be a problem. Really? 3 servers and you had to close digital downloads? Yea you knew you needed more

It's not -just- that. Whatever they did to change/upgrade the hardware,the overall population cap on each server is now higher. Essentially making the game capable of holding more people at once,even on the same number of servers,let alone 3 more. Also,the servers and upgrades/updates have been proving more and more stable,and the character login issues are going down,and the character creation caps are coming off gradually. When I looked this morning I think there was only 5 servers NA/EU still restricted,as opposed to all/nearly all of them last week.

But yes,3 servers is a bit weak,regardless of if the numbers panned out or not.

Because it's still the start of september >_> And I'm sure fixing the servers are more important than transfers. I'd assume the mid september (I dont keep up with the transfer news) was probably given before the servers exploded? And ***happens,stuff gets delayed and pushed back.

Quote:
This is an optional paid service that allows characters from active service accounts for FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn to be transferred to a World of your chooosing.
* Due to fluctuations in World populations, certain Worlds may not be available for transfer.
* World transfer service is scheduled to begin mid-September.

That's from the lodestone page. Not sure when that info was added,or if there have been more recent devs posts about it.

And to use your own argument against you....

Why allow people to trasnfer to a different server when you cant log in on a different server anyways.

Let them fix the game first,add optional services second. If you dont like it? You're free to stop playing. Or if you continue to play,it's obviously not as big a deal as you're making it out to be.

Let me rephrase, anywhere in the UK have stock that isnt selling the standard edition at an inflated price (£19.99 in most places but no stock) or the collectors edition at a reasonable price (I.e under £50).

Like this:

http://www.tesco.com/direct/final-fantasy-xiv-a-realm-reborn-collectors-edition/365-7037.prd?pageLevel=&skuId=365-7037

But its not atcually in stock >.>

Anyone have information on the 2.0 Relic Weapon quest? All I've found is the name of the quest and the NPC you get it from and their location, but not any information on the quest/questline itself. I would like to know what I should be prepared for before I start it, if possible. Focusing on Dragoon and Paladin for the moment.

Yeah, it appears so, but I was told before I bought it for PS3 that I would be able to play on PC/PS4 as well without purchasing the game for them. So, we'll see what SE says when they get back to me.

/sigh

They've already said it multiple times that you need to buy seperate ones for each platform. It's in the official notes >_>

Everyone just jumped on the assumption train that it was like XI instead of reading the actual XIV notes >_>

Well,post back when you officially hear back what I just posted anyways~

Edit: Direct from SE XIV site for you.

Quote:
Play Cross-Platform with Windows PC & PlayStation 3 Users
FFXIV: A Realm Reborn is available on both Windows PC and PlayStation 3, and players from both versions will be able to play together regardless of the version they purchase!
Logging into the Same Account on both Windows and PlayStation 3
It is possible to play with the same account on both Windows and PlayStation 3 platforms. Customers who own a copy of FFXIV for Windows and wish to use their account on the PlayStation 3 version will need to purchase a copy of the PlayStation 3 version. It will then be possible to use your characters on either platform by tying your existing service account to the PlayStation 3 version upon launching it for the first time. Similarly, customers who own a copy of FFXIV for PlayStation 3 and wish to use their account on the Windows version will need to purchase a copy of the Windows version. However, please note that your account will only be able to log into one platform at a time.

Now while it doesnt mention PS4,it's pretty safe to say it'll 99.9% work the same way. Add a new platform with a new code.

Quoting myself for this guy,saw it in another thread.

http://www.dualshockers.com/2013/09/09/final-fantasy-xiv-ps3-players-will-upgrade-to-ps4-version-for-free-ps4-beta-starting-in-february/

You still need a pc code to add pc access though

PLD is odd.

VIT is HP, STR is damage dealt and damaged mitigated via parry and shield block, and DEX is block rate.
