Started playing this a few months ago myself. Enjoying myself more than in recent WoW expansions
On EU Phoenix with a few friends but none are Boards regulars to my knowledge. Currently have a level 64 Scholar. Really enjoyed Heavensward. Hoping Stormblood is also enjoyable. POTD isn't anything to write home about. Doing your MSQ, Job and Daily dungeon/trial is generally a good mix to keep levelling I've found. 0 -

Want to say thanks again Rope for all that info, very helpful.
Bit of an update now, im inching towards level 20, I'm an Arcanist aiming for Summoner.
If i want to try other classes, should i role a new character or just change my current character?
Also would there be any real benefit to get the game now and all expansions for the leveling process?
Like do i get crazy xp boosts? free level booster? loads of helpful items?
I did get a ring with a 30% xp boost which works up until lvl 30, it was only recent i got it to and i think i could have obtained it ages ago, which im a bit mad over
Also professions, do i just pick them all up or best to just pick a few?
I'm found the game very confusing at first but am alot more comfortable now, still lost at times but getting there..0 -
New content/patch out next week. Always look forward to new dungeons to sink my teeth into. Unfortunately, having decked out in full 360 gear on main, I've had little reason to really log in lately as I've avoided savage sigmascape this time around. Having said that, no other MMORPG is able to scratch the itch... WoW is the usual daily filler, hit max-level in TERA and just not feeling up to it, I'm too far behind in Black Desert and Neverwinter, Allods Online has had a new update/class added but as much as I love it, I just can't bring myself to invest in it right now, and Guild Wars 2 failed to re-capture me.
FFXIV is just too good, albeit built around the concept of 'breaks are good'.
Is it not today (Tuesday) the patch is out? I thought thats why the servers have been down all day
I'm currently level 52 (Ninja), i rerolled as i didnt like the look of the summoner i made, he looks grand as a magic caster but anything else and he would look lame which would piss me off :pac:
I'm chipping away, just doing quests to level up, everything else is just overwhelming. I'm not sure ill stick with Ninja long term, its fun and all but eh, ah sure we will see, ill stick with it until 70 and then try something else.. a healer or bard maybe..
I've been advised to not bother with any profession jobs until i max, not sure why, maybe because of an xp boost? I may not even bother with them, are they necessary? I always found leveling professions in wow a chore 0 -

The grinding needed to level other classes once the main quests are done is what made me stop playing this, it takes aaaaages
Anyway, might return for up coming expansion, i did like a lot of what the game had to offer. Just a bit too much of a grind if ya wanna level a different DPS 0 -
It really doesn't, not compared to others. I'm levelling a MNK in WoW out of boredom and it'll take longer to do that than it will to eat your XP food, do your daily roulettes and maybe some leves in FFXIV. It is also infinitely faster if you're levelling a Tank or Healer (for obvious reasons) - I was very happy to spam dungeons. Faster still if you have collector edition items, faster if you're in a guild who keeps the XP buff applied, and faster again if you've got your Command Squad done up and are earning XP scrolls each week. It never took me long to level other classes in FFXIV once you get how it clicks, whereas in WoW you really do feel like paying for a boost would just save you hassle, and even then those last 10 levels feel like an eternity.
I found WoW more fluid though, you arent scrounging for quests in wow. I actually cant really remember what pissed me off in FF, i just remember that i was just doing the dungeon/raid dailies for the sick xp, and then anything else felt like a chore..
But yeah i had the wow leveling down to a fine art and with FF i had trouble absorbing everything, found myself asking what guildies likely deemed stupid questions a lot so yeah, likely right i just didnt know enough to make the leveling life simpler :P:pac: 0 -

Finished up the base storyline and quests on Monday. Very enjoyable at the end. Although for BLM, one of those last fights is nuts.
Didn't get a single chance to attack. Just spent the round dodging blue beams on the the ground while the rest of the raid did the dirty work for me
One thing for BLM in general - I could see a lot of people giving up on it before lvl 40. I almost did myself. But once you have Bliz III and Fire III, the class becomes really enjoyable and even moreso when you hit 50. Also the story is fantastic, if a little sad at the end.
Just about ready to move into Heavensward content now except the game has given me about 200 unlock quests for hard dungeons. Once I've cleared up the quest log I'll move into that.
Side note - I also ran into my first Hildibrand quest line... wtf was that. I honestly sat there with my mouth wide open for most of it. Frickin hilarious.0 -
