My static ended up clearing A4S in a one shot this Friday after 4 months of bullshit. Honestly found A3S easier on healing than A4S just because of mana management being trickier with straf doll's wirbelwind.

Can watch the clear video here

aaah that's great to hear.

I signed up for a static specifically for AS once. Funny thing is, when we ran AS1...there were 3 people who were new to the group including myself and we were all DPS.

Well, lets just say the people who knew what to do and has been through AS before had more faults than the newbies in the static.

It was so horrendous and we ended up wiping so many times that the time was up xD

(A little late but) Is anyone here returning for patch 3.2?

I kind of want to but don't really have the time for the game any more ;_;.

Preliminary patch notes can be found here http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone ... 12d9f4f549

also I can make you avatars if you ask nicely :^)

The 3.2 patch coming out on Tuesday, can't wait.

Although, I'm honestly saying that they're making this game more easier as each patch comes out which I don't mind...but sometimes I want a challenge xD

What I mean by that is the ilevel for gear, you're about to have 200+ drops in the new dungeons...

Which means past primals and raids like Alex Savage will be even easier than it was before.

Just do Titan EX minimal ilv sync (ilv 67).
Enjoy

what does everyone think of 3.2?

Midas is kinda interesting. Maybe it wont get as stale as Gordias did.

Containment Bay EX is pretty fun tho

I'm really enjoying 3.2 so far.
Hall of novice has made lower level leveling actually tolerable since more new people know what to do. More roulettes can be done in parties so those don't feel as stale. Midas is actually pretty fun compared to Gordias. I haven't tried the new primal yet, but it looks interesting.

sad about novice hall being implemented so late. the lv30 and below bonus ring is seriously freaking op. midas savage is interesting, to say the least. mechanics on top of mechanics with a side of mechanics. it's better than a savage af dps check tbh (gordias). sephiroth ex was a really well orchestrated fight. took a few hours to learn how to tango but farming it (god fuck pf, never doing that again) was a nightmare.

overall, 3.2 is a step forward in QoL/content. praise square for not flopping on their asses again.

So how has everyone been finding 3.3?

The ~~Wiping~~Weeping City of Mhach was actually way above my expectations; the difficulty just feels perfect for DF.

Nidhogg was also a really good fight, really impressed.

Another big surprise was Aquapolis; didn't expect it so be so intense xD.

Can't wait for Deep Dungeon!

I'm also on Tonberry :3

I just started playing this game 2 days ago and I love everything about it. As a completionist, being able to do every single class and every profession on one character without having to rely on alts is huge for me. Crafting actually is fun and combat doesn't look half bad either. I haven't tried PvP yet but I'm not too much into that either way.

I've played a ton of MMORPGs: WoW, TERA, Aion, Guild Wars 2, 4Story, Metin 2, NosTale, ArcheAge, Wildstar, Elder Scrolls Online and probably some more (granted, not all of them all the way to endgame) but I feel like this is the one I'm gonna play for a long time.

I can imagine it being full again after a short span of time..

Hi There,

I play as a lvl 60 White Mage. It's pretty much the only class I play and my favourite class since it uses magic. I only play magic classes so... to be expected. The server I'm on is "Phoenix" and in the FC, Legion of Saints (SAINT).

IKR, I think I screamed when they summoned Bahamut in the job actions video!

Anyone consider changing jobs for SB? I'm probably going to stay as BLM, Thunder IV and Foul look too good to pass up

I'm gonna stick with SMN (Bahamut bby!), but I plan to continue to alternate between that and BLM (Seems like its getting loads of changes. Enochian for the better. Still don't like how I'm essentially a turret - mainly because I play bad. Teach me how to be mobile without losing dps? D:)

I'm definitely looking forward to trying out Red Mage, though.

Probably sticking with BRD/MCH (or DRG), depends on what my static wants!
I hope they do something to make up for that 30% damage from minuet/GB though..

I mean, there isn't really anything a maintenance would do to fix this. They purposely made it so only a limited amount of people can use that instance at a time so the servers don't explode. Just gotta wait or get lucky :v

Gotta say, expansion is pretty good despite the rocky launch. Raubahn (savage) took some time to get through, but was amongst the more lucky ones to beat this trial in a relatively good time. Thankfully didn't get stuck on Susano either. Summoner at level 70 is pretty fun to play oo which I am happy about (my main since I started playing in 2.5). Now it's time to level gatherers/crafters.
