Intoxicated Gaming or How I Stop Discriminating and Learned to Love FFXIV

[darklordsarumon9]

Im stacking Grand Company seals & almost at 50k. Pretty sure Ive bought the important things such as the pet and chocobo armor (dont care all too much about housing stuff). Is this a good time to switch to one of the other Companies? Not much into PVP right now so those achievements are whatever & Ive got Flamelady.

unless you're gonna do the relic weapon which i dont recommend at this stage, and you dont care for the achievements, you might as well switch over

relic uses 60k seals tho if you wanna save for that

As it is you will inevitably learn each part of any boss just by doing it enough times regardless of its difficulty. From there the only other factor is your gear and then you just win. Games "can" be hard obviously if you look at something like touhou where you can't just memorize every bullet. I want to see something insane implemented to where pve becomes a skill based game.

I haven't tried it yet, but I hope pvp isn't a disappointment or else I'm not sure if I will continue playing.

from what little I played of the original ffxiv, pvp would be absolutely abysmal in this game

Got my ilvl 180 weapon. Still working on getting tomes of law to get to ilvl 170 for end game stuff.

So far nothing has even been remotely challenging in this game so I hope I'm not too disappointed. It's been decently fun just exploring and experience the world though. I hope I can have fun with this more as a social thing than an actual game.


Desert Bandit Izzy.

try bismarck ex
it's harder than ravana ex imo

[Coolboyrulez0]

lol

its a braindead dps check but maybe its different on other servers

also savage in one week hype

[Izzy]

Just hit ilvl 170 so now I can join some shit. I'd probably be ilvl 180 by now if queueing for duty finder as a dps didn't take 30 minutes.

Of course I accidentally bought a 2nd whetstone with my Centurio seals instead of the thing to upgrade my gear. There is no refund feature like there should be so I wasted 395 centurio seals and like 6 hours of work.

Bit late to do it, but my FC, Luis and I finally passed T9 (unsynced). I already had 9 clears on it but for everyone else it was a great achievement and burden lifted. Onwards to Final Coil, Savage Second, and Alexander
