A good bunch of us as nearly-impossible-to-figure-how-to-pronounce Roe names thanks to that! My Agata Blysstahlwyn is among the easier ones.

Without turning off every other voice was specified in the question but yeah... that aside, it really is the only way. I also noticed Archers seemed to be more noisy, for some reason. o_O

Good plan! I didn't even know that existed.

Nope, not possible. Sorry!

There's nothing cheap about it, it's in fact a very straight and honest way to do it. The AoE indicates where the attack will land (most MMO's don't show you so clearly). The casting bar indicates when the attack will be done done (and by the way, it can be interrupted). When the casting bar is full, the attack launches and if you are in the AoE (red) zone at this time, you're hit. Animations are just for show, the above is the actual mechanic. It's simple and straightforward. Most games just show you emote or speech that hint at an incoming AoE and then you have to have studied the boss videos on YouTube and ideally, you have to get such or such 3rd party AddOn program to tell you about those attacks and you have to know ahead of time where you must go for each attack and bleeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaah it's a real PITA. The only issue here is lag.

Bye, hope it gets fixed as quickly as humanly (or computerly) possible.

If you made her in Beta 4, you're good to go! Otherwise... you'll have to keep trying now and then... sometimes it's open, sometimes not, it seems. o_o

Cool! Every time I see someone looking for a group for this or that I'm like "what level?" but now I'll know! Or at least I'll have a list to look at.

The website still hates me and still won't let me in after creating a second account to use (with which I only had limited access for like, a day). I'm giving up on the website, hopefully I can still participate game-side.

So they added a whopping 3 servers? And they think it's going to be enough, even considering they had to suspend digital sales? Even considering they'll be slowly letting people trickle in... once they resume digital sales, it's all going to hell for sure. What are they thinking? o_O

Welcome in! I don't think I've seen anyone else on Lamia around here but who knows!

I have no idea who you or your Sanctus Refero are/were but... Welcome back! ^^

Even as a member of a crafting FC, I'm not sure how to answer that question! My Gilgamain is a Weaver and last time I've done any RL weaving was about 15 years ago in home economics class. o_O I think it's more important to know the mats in game than to have any real life knowledge. There's a lot you can pick up from your chosen craft's guildmaster NPC dialog, too. Like the carpenter on loves to talk about the qualities of the different woods and why they're used in one thing or another.

The US and EU data center is in Montreal, so East coast. I have no idea why they use PDT. o_O When ti first launched though, we did have to connect to the unique Japanese data center. They only added the Canadian one later.

If you guys love FFT, consider grabbing the PSP remake. It has more speshul classes (like Dark Knight! or was it Black Knight? and Onion Knight) and another cool special character (Luso) and is better translated.

And an actual queue instead of this fake spam-log-in crap. >_< Word. I'm all happy to see a 30 people queue and suddenly... lol1017! So evil...

I scored -5 on the Sue test... and I did it with all 4 characters combined. I guess they're all within pretty average for the setting.

It's because they're doing it remotely from Japan. That time is 10:00 AM JP - 8:00 PM JP. True, but my question still stands. 10 AM is a late hour to start and 8PM is late to finish. Most companies start as early as possible so they can expect to be done when people come back from work/school or at least after dinner.

This isn't a magic wand fix at all. This is the exact kind of serious work that is required to fix the issue at hand. Too many players = servers locked. More servers + bigger servers = the amount of players isn't "too many" anymore Now only AFK timer is missing... Either way really hope you guys still locked out can come make characters on Balmung or Gilgamesh. Crossing my fingers.

What kind of maintenance hours is that? o_O Oh well.. at least hey ARE increasing server capacity and not just the amount of servers. That will certainly help us.

You mean, aside from going on an actual adventure? I love the idea of RPing D&D or something in a modern setting... but why characters in a fantasy setting would RP being in a different fantasy setting is beyond me. Then again, in these troubled times, Eorzeans are in need of escapism, I guess...

Having new servers will only help if non-RPers run off to them and we RPers dig in and don't move. Once enough people have left, they will open character creation again. I ask my fellow Balmungians and Gilgameshers to refrain from rolling alts so our exiled friends have better chances of joining us (yes it would affect them.. otherwise why would we be prevented from rolling alts when servers are locked?)

Oh you'll see hyurs in swimsuits too. Mine still has her superspecial godlen bikini (though my catgirl has all colors o_o) from that summer festival back then. That said... I can't agree that roleplay is gameplay... to me gameplay is something that gives xp and I'm not getting xp for RP! Unlike in pen&paper games.

Let's see... A bit of derping around Shadowrun Returns... A bit of derping around Recettear... A bit of derping around GW2... A bit of derping around NWN2... A bit of playing DoW Soulstorm with friends.

I love your sig.
