I just got FFXIV

I just got FFXIV

Any tips?

Get the fuck out of any duty with a PLD tank

Don't heal that shit, don't encourage it. Eventually the faggots will change to a job that can actually fucking tank.

Post the real image.

...

main one class
don't do professions

refund and play wow instead

yeah actually this
tbqh

Refund

Who drew this?

>Don't do professions

Why?

start with a tank (WARRIOR) if you want to fly through MSQ also ask around for a big active FC so you have all the help for dungeons/trials

>suggesting a bloody beginner warrior as first job

People are fucking overstrained with Paladin for Gods sake and tanking in general. Let him get familiar with a dungeon first before throwing him in the drivers seat.

Read. The. Tooltips.

Don't rush the story, it's a FF.

Pass through all the options, turn on Legacy camera.

*DO NOT RUN THE FINAL DUTIES ON DUTY FINDER. OPEN A PARTY FINDER AND ASK FOR PEOPLE WHO'LL WAIT FOR CUTSCENES.*

Never expect ANYTHING more than people auto-attacking. Nowadays, spamming one button is a plus.

Gosh, good luck honestly. If you happen to choose my server I'll even lend you a hand.

If you're from the Americas DON`'T pick Gilgamesh or Balmung.

If you're from the EU DON'T pick Shiva or Moogle or Ragnarok.

This person is telling the truth if you want a single player game. Seriously, those are the only surviving servers

if you bought the steam version, you already fucked up.

>those are the only surviving servers
lol

more people cleared A8S on fucking exodus than on balmung. people only go to balmung to ERP and people only go to gilgamesh to get carried through content.

if you actually want to play the game, go roll on a server like Leviathan or Excalibur. They are full multiple times a day and they have tons of midcore players.

I'd rather wait 10 minutes longer on an invite than playing with choleric, sperg-lords who lose their shit after one minor mistake or someone doesn't follow the orders they bark at people.

Those are some of the most cancerous and toxic servers in all data centres. I'm playing this game long enough to paint a picture.

there was a third one with all 3 at the same time, anyone got that one?

I die every time I do expert and it's a PLD or DRK that doesn't use Darkside.

WAR or bust.

200+ Main Story Quest to complete before you do anything exciting.

Avoid Balmung at all cost just go to Gilgamesh there at least isn't any ERPing faggots.

3 of what?

Do what this user says. I'm on Leviathan and there's a good mix of casual and hardcore content, and there aren't too many sperglords running around.

it was basically like "anime healers" "healsluts" "real healers" all in one image

I only have this one. But I would like to that picture you requested as well.

>"Go to Gilgamesh there at least isn't any ERPing faggots."
Lmao, it has just as many.

Agree plus tons of elitist faggots not even good players just fucking arrogant.

If you wil play healer, for the love of god, learn to stance dance with Cleric stance and DPS.

Also, you will suffer.
Having to carry a bunch of retards is the worst thing possible.

This summer even fucking Leviathan was the third most active NA server.

>Cleric stance and DPS.

It's funny when people post that when the whole point of that story quests was that CNJ need to heal AND deal damage.

>play DPS
>beg healer to do the damage

some people

Guess those people didn't read the dialogue. Makes sense when you see how many people bitch about quests.

Fucking skip everything but then expect sympathy because they're new. I fucking despise those cunts.

Is this whole healslut meme based in reality?

sauce

tanking is the easiest fucking job in game.

>81,199 Active players in North America

>all jobs can do decent dps at lvl60
>not expecting the tanks/heals to do as much as they can instead of being slouches

Only in the imagination of thirsty ERPfags.

just make sure you dont put out shit dps and we wont hate you

I know a guy who fits this profile exactly, it's unreal. 18y/o, super feminine acting and sounding, "flirts" with other dudes.

I'm playing Warrior and he often "jokes" how big my axe looks or my HP is when I pop Thrill of the Battle and calls me [my name]-sama and other borderline gay shit. It's pretty entertaining and I always think of this picture when we raid together.

Avoid the horrible general.

do hall of the novice, even if you know how to play a mmo it gives free shit and a ring that gives bonus exp below level 30
do guildhests, big easy chunk of exp thats available for every job plus gives you advice on some mechanics

I want to discuss XIV but this thread is lookingly vaguely like /xivg/-lite so far.

There's not really much to discuss about the game unfortunately since it's so cut & dry with everything it presents.

Then start a discussion people with join in. Besides, OP asked for pointers nothing specific.

does anyone have lewd FFXIV pics?

cool thread

Yeah refund it. Game is literally awful.

do these count?

I don't see people stabbing each other in the back over drama because some one erp cheated

...

I see a lot of lolcumdumphealer shit and shitty images

>drama because some one erp cheated

Good God, does this shit really happen?

Play a tank if you want fast queues. If you're playing DPS expect to suffer with long times.

Whatever you play make sure to pick up necessary cross class skills such as provoke for warrior which you get from gladiator.

If you're healing learn to stance dance. Most of the time you won't be needing to heal anyone so turn on cleric stance and do some DPS.

When some bitch asks you to go to the waking sands the fastest way is teleport to Limsa -> teleport to arcanist guild -> take the ferry.

it's a grindfest in addition to being useless

Those aren't FFXIV specific though. It's healsluts in MMOs/FPS in general.

Stop being autist. Just because some faggots don't know how to play a class doesn't mean the class is shit.

no it's not. in something like sephex or nidex, if the tanks fuck up, everyone dies.

Literally the only time that image gets brought up, it's about XIV.

>almost finished melding out my crafting gear in preparation for 3 4

I'm gonna take all the monies

PLD is by and far the worst class you can take for speedrunning expert dungeons in the current selection though.

Return it because it doesn't have Beastmaster and because of that it's shit compared to glorious FFXI.

someone post the DPS and Tank already

Here's your (you). Don't spend it all at once, shitter-kun.

...

Being slightly slower overall compared to tanks that are actually DPS with larger health bars isn't what we were discussing and has nothing to do with them being shit or not.

Don't feed the trolls dude.

stop being a retard and gtfo

this is still hot and how I imagine it would go

join balmung
hit up some handsome femroes

you're welcome

>(you)

me on bottom

me in the middle

>MFW former roommates are gay and played FFXIV so this is actually pretty accurate for my day to day life back then.

Did anything "happen" ;)

for some reason I can only enjoy playing FFXIV while I'm stoned

Ch2-3 never ever

No, because I'm not gay and they respected boundaries.

aww shit totally forgot to look those up, the first one was way too short.

Tips for levelling DRK from 30-60?

I also want to try healer but having to level conjurer to 30s, thaumaturge to 20s and then arcanist to scholar is going to be the end of me

consider yourself lucky, guess you had good door locks.

read tooltips of all skills and maybe a guide once you're 50, manage your MP.

the job is pretty straightforward.

Later on in dungeons you'll spend more time using your MP combo than your hate combo, and using Unleash a lot to get group hate.

,199 Active players in North America
source? holy shit

here i was thinking it was at least 500k

No, never had to lock my doors because again as I said they respected boundaries and I'm not gay. There are a lot of people out there who are gay who do that, the whole not raping people thing, because they understand not everyone is gay.

82k American players have beaten Final Steps of Faith and completed the last Heavensward story patch.

Source: new XIV census, check Reddit

Fantasia into a Lalafell if you aren't already one. They are the most overpowered playable race lore wise.

Is it a girl or boy?

Take a wild guess.

I honestly don't know

There's still about 500k people playing worldwide. More than that if you count bots and Gil spammers.

psst.

Alice no Takarabako

Boy

EXPAND

Repent.

which is more fun bard or a tanking class?

BRD pre-52. WAR post-52.

>Also, you will suffer.
>Having to carry a bunch of retards is the worst thing possible.

Actually, I think it's pretty great. Feels good to pull a win completely out of your ass. My most recent one was beating Coincounter with a Bard who was kiting the boss and a Ninja and Dark Knight who kept taking 10,000 tonze swings to the face and dying. At a few points everyone was dead except for me.

The previous one was running Brayflox Longstop with a Paladin who just used fast blade, we got to the salamander boss before everyone just gave up, but I did my best heal tanking that I could.

Though when I asked why he was just spamming fast blade all I got back was "Lol, I think I'm breaking my macros. Still thinking like a DRG."

Depends, what do you prefer more, supporting people/AOE damage or being in total control?
