Temporary Siren General Chat

Opening a thread for people to communicate because of post restrictions.

-I ran out of threads last night so I wasn't able to open a chat here. Hope Siren is doing alright, best wishes! :o

Thanks for starting this thread :).

Thank you! So Siren is one of the newest servers, right? Do you think we'll get an active community here?

Just wanted to post a Hi to all of the FFXI Siren people - Stainless has been reformed on Cactuar hit up Zerosoft Majere (Raistlin) for an invite we are looking for you :cool:

Is the population on this server a healthy one yet? Trying to get away from Leviathan that server is wayyy over populated. Was on Siren this morning around 9am EST, saw a lot of people but no one talked in shout, not even if a question was asked. Has me a bit worried.

I've been on Siren these past few days and the population seems fine. I've seen plenty of people offering help when needed.

Aye, I've seen plenty of folks running around. I think many people are just too focused to chat really. I know I like to poke around, so I'll typically read or reply depending on whats been /shout'd.

Hello there. I'm on Siren. Sorry I don't chat if you've run into me, but it required a fair amount of effort to chat via the PS3.

Hi all Siren folks!

FaceLessMen (F-_-M) is recruiting mature, fun, helpful people. Pst me in game or shout for one of my fellow Assassins.

Hello my fellow Siren people!

Hello all, here's hoping to having a good server.

I'm nominally hanging about Ul-Dah teaching people how to blacklist the gil spammers.

Good to see people from Siren posting here! I'm hoping it's as great of a server as it was in XI.
How is everyone liking the game so far?

IT isnt to bad, just waiting for this creation ban to be lifted to my friends can join me. You?

Old FFXI siren player here, hoping the FFXIV Siren server will be give me then enjoyment and fun memories the old FFXI server gave me. Hope to see more old Siren folks in game. Cheers.

Siren needs some more love!
I'm having a lot of fun on this server, I don't regret it!

Yes it does cause its awesome! Send a tell to Jetiise Shadow if anyone wants a Social LS.

Hello every one!

Hello siren peoples!, few of us long time siren players are here, if any one was in or remembers Temperance or Validus would be cool to play with you all again.

Hey all, i hope to make some friends around here on siren. though i cannot get in and have been trying to since 7 this morning. Looks like our server is also overpopulated. Am i to understand that all servers are over populated, and that they just cannot handle the number of customers they got?

Any ways, hope to see you guys there.

Something like that, they are fixing the issue but that can take another week or so, since they didn't think this many people would want to play after the fail of 1.0, they didn't have servers set up to handle more then 5k people on at a time.

Hello all, New player, new to server, just wanted to say love it here on Siren. The community is helpful and the majority of the players seem friendly. Looking forward to running with some of you down the road.
Is it better to join an existing free company or start one? I usually run with 5 other R/L friends? Thoughts please....

Depends if you guys want to deal with getting a 25 to make the FC, leveling it yourselves, or join one that already exists. I know me and my friends will be making one ourselves when they can finally get on the server.

Really comes down to, do you wana join a FC with 30+ people in it already or make your own that will only have 6.

Hi Everyone, I'm Lycia Dealkirk here! Somewhat new to FF, played 11 for a bit...hated the leveling system (didn't realize I needed to party up lol) Played WoW til the end of WoTLK, and haven't been MMOing for a while. I'm a quasi pro raider (I study fights, know my class, bring materials, don't die and do good DPS) who hopes to be a helpful member of our community. If you need a Rezz, Pst me if I'm on! If you need to run something, and your around my level or lower...hit me up! I hope to get to meet you all personally in game, and have some fun!

Also, I'm wondering from a party stand point if some of us should create some how to videos for new MMO players to teach them how to raid. Would help make battles easier :)

From what i understand there are already a ton of how to videos around already. The game itself seems pretty simple, much simpler then wow was. Though i rather enjoyed Ifrit (simple mechanics though). I am excited to see end game fights and there Mechanics.

I've heard that later dungeons and end game content is much more difficult. This is my first time in an FF world (played other MMOs for years) but this is what older players have been telling me. I've thoroughly enjoyed my play time so far, but I am looking forward to more of a challenge. Can anyone here give an idea of whether this seems true (that the challenge comes later)?

Anyway - I'm excited to be playing on Siren! We wanted to start on a brand new server and watch it grow with the game, should be fun! So far (prior to the 1017 boss kicking my arse) it has been enjoyable, aside from the gold spammers.

If anyone is looking for a new FC, check us out - undermind.us :)

I noticed that their seems to be more misinformation about this game, than general helpful information. On top of that, there isn't a centralized source for people to go to, in order to find out how to truly play their Toon. I've ran instances with other Arcanist, who while the same level as me...didn't use dots. Never tossed Bio up or nothing...I had one guy who had the Topaz Carbie out during a one on one boss fight. General MMO tips will help our server grow and become a blast. I'd love for our server to be so pro, everyone doesn't mind a pug here or there.

As for the Challenge, I'm not able to testify on the level of experience, but one of my FC mates actually fought Titan the other day while I was over at their house, and it was like a harder version of Ifrit... I'm wondering myself if we'll see more fights that involve timing and movement. I guess we gotta get to 50 and find out huh Jezzic?

that we will! :D:D

and...........no dots? How can you even play an arcanist with no dots? :p

Feels good to log in and out without a hassle.

Level 30+ dungeons start to become interesting. Unless you're a healer, then you're raging (tanks who don't get out of the dragon's breathe (rage) or the god-awful Temple Bee's final sting move. Tanks, full health, annnnddddd... dead (@!#$# /spittle).

Maybe its because I pug, but lately my teams have been bomb. Downed Titan with vicious lag (server side because my whole team was getting hit), and one shot the whole Goblin instance. Kinda enjoying the fights :)

I personally find that having a good group is 90% finding a good tank which can be hard at times cause some can't hold aggro for the life... of me. Course I'm a healer so never had to worry bout getting a bad healer ;P

right now all i feel like doing is running some dungeons, [castrum] and run wanders palace for first time etc... but queue is driving me nuts, its so damn boring. need to get a bunch of Siren Dungeon runner linkshells up so we can group for these faster. Guess i will go try lvl up another class while i wait.

I have a lfg linkshell :) join us :D

Hi I always chat on siren. It's not over populated at all. Honestly the game is so boring now until 2.1 comes out all I do is chat lol. It's just nothing left to do.

I wouldn't mind finding a way to get some kind of event started. Something to liven up the server a bit. Preferably something public.

I'd help with that. I'm usually on at really weird hours, though. Usually 3 am - 7 am on weekdays. I'm all over the place. I was thinking about starting a linkshell to donate HQ upgrades to people leveling up. People think I'm too generous on these forums, I think ....... >.>

I think that's a good idea. I know I randomly handed out a couple of 50 GSM pets to people because they were there and I made a couple spares. I've also thought of doing a podcast, but I don't know how to get one of those started, nor do I have people to co-host it (cause talking for an hour by myself isn't all that interesting)
