    Re: Official OS General MMO Information Thread

    One I hit 15ish it felt like the game lost focus to me, not as clear where to go, etc. Doesn't help that it probably had one of the worst maps I've used in an mmo since eq.

    20 now, but the honeymoon period definitely concluding.

      I got lost for a while in beta because I missed the story quest icon for the start of the quest that eventually takes you to the Waking Sands. Other than that though I haven't really had any trouble following it as the NPC you get a story quest reward from is usually also the one who gives you your next story quest.

      Lv. 30 CNJ now, and I've switched off to Arcanist to hit 15 there and unlock White Mage.

          Once you progress far enough in your class (I think it's Lv. 10, right uber?), you're given the chance to join any other guilds. From then on, you can switch between any of the classes you've started on the fly - for example, my starting class was conjurer, but I can switch to any of Pugilist, Arcanist, Alchemist or Botanist anytime because I've joined all of those guilds. So your first class choice isn't really going to matter much in the long haul.

          Given the classes you mentioned I assume you're starting in Gridania, so your initial choice for Disciples of War or Magic will be among Lancer, Archer, and Conjurer. The other cities have other classes available, but you won't be visiting those until later in the main quest. Well, you CAN get to Uldah, but I wouldn't advise trying to get there unless you know what you're doing.

            Thanks, man. I played the previous ff title as a thief but stopped around the time i enlisted (2005).

            Archer sounded like ranger but after further reading it sounds like a support class when bards added. Ill probably roll with lancer but tinker with other classes in case they release new rolls. . The archer/bard clothes look atrocious.

              Yeah, after you finish up your level 10 class quest it opens the armoury system and you then can go join other guilds (become that class.)

              Granted, you'll have to progress to about 16/17/18ish in the story quests to get to the other cities via airship, since the run there at low levels is quite dangerous.

              I'm also intrigued by what you said mestevo. To me the maps are no better/worse than in any other modern big MMO. Everything about the UI is pretty standard-fare. What do you think they could improve on the maps?

                My biggest point of confusion is when there's a quest indicator on a zone line, and then there's nothing on the next map for a quest, and no quest indicator leading you elsewhere.

                I also had quests from other regions that I couldn't figure out exactly where to go because on the map the region's are named something else but then on the quest and/airship launchpad something they're named something more specific.

                Clearly equal parts human error and just some finickyness with the maps I'm sure.

                Minor gripe... why cant I warp from large crystals to smaller ones?

                Im 20 now, when I log in I get a bunch of level 10 levequests recommended to me.

                  Anyone else on their PS3 having trouble choosing their target, especially during a fate? It's driving me nuts because I want my main to be a healer.
                  Is SE planning to open the legacy servers to newcomers in the near future? I had to go on a different server than where the OS guild is located, and well, it stinks playing an MMO by yourself =/

                      They're just closed in general until the data centers get upgraded (Wednesday in Japan time) and everything proves to be stable. They'll open them up when it's proven stable.

                          You've got to mess with your target filters.

                          There's also filters down below those that you can switch through on the fly with L1+ face buttons.

                            Don't have the patience for 1017 tonight, probably give it another shot in a few and make it a Madden/Prototype 2 night instead.

                            Or WoW, randomly re-subbed to that, have a couple more raids I haven't seen to sleep-LFR my way though.

                              So the only reason I haven't picked up FF14 is because I heard that the PS3 version is a little laggy in high volume areas.

                              How does the PS3 perform?

                                Yup...this is absolutely vital for playing with a gamepad.

                                As for PS3 questions, Dakkon's the one to ask about that. I play on PC although I do use a gamepad primarily (keyboard for chat).
