The Hangout Spot

Hey everyone!

I was browsing the Coeurl forums and noticed that a lot of the threads here are Free Companies looking to recruit and people selling/looking for stuff. I wanted to make a thread to just hang out and get to know a few people.

Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn is definitely a fun game, however any MMORPG is only as good as the people you play it with. Though I have a group of IRL friends that I love dearly that play this game, they aren't online all the time (of course) and because of different time zones and just overall daily activities such as work and school, I don't get to see them too often. Therefore I would love to have more people to just sit around and chat with from time to time in-game. So I decided to start this thread in case anyone else is thinking the same thing and is just looking for a place to chill or people to chill out with.

Enjoy!

Heh, its funny cause i just posted one of those recruitment threads.
But yeah there are not many just chill threads on here. I have run accross a few cool people in the game, but most people do not talk much.

Funny story: The other day i was mining in the copperbell area, and some guy was just running around cheering all the miners on heh.

Aye, there are a lot of recruitment threads. Protip: don't join an FC if they don't plan on being online 90% of the time you are, or their main MMO isn't this one :P

Glad you made one of these kind of "chat" threads. Speaking of mining, I've seen a lovely amount of rocks with invisible miners hitting them. Not stealthing, I mean straight up INVISIBLE.

Nice thread, so far Coeurl seems like a great server pick. Everyone I have met so far has been generally nice. Still unsure of an FC to join, I see a lot of people running around with JOY tags.. wonder if they are any good?

I know that stealth will fade you out a bit, but completly invisible is weird.

A general chat thread is a good idea. How's the view from 50?

I've enjoyed playing so far, just got my first job last weekend (PLD). One thing I'm surprised by is all the complaints about how bad the duty finder is. I play with my wife most of the time who is some kind of DD, and we get matches within 5 minutes usually. I have met some good and nice players through the finder, but unfortunately it's always cross server, so you can't play with them again.

Amazing.

. . . is what I would say if I had anyone to do endgame quests with. No way am I PuGging AK and the HM Primals on my first go as the tank. I've heard enough horror stories of that.

Ive joined a few groups on the duty finder, and had sucess. Most of the time though i run with people from my company.

I'd do that too, but I think the FC I joined was dead on arrival . . .

Hope everyone is enjoying their time on Coeurl!! Its a great server that is delightfully steeped in a thriving hub of majestic crafters, amazing Free Companys, helpful and fun Link Shells, powerful adventurers, and harmonious diversity.

Oh sorry to hear that..If you are still looking for a company you can alwyas join mine. Shoot me an in game mail to Evantide Darkfyre, and we will talk about it.

Has anybody purchased those crafting manuals you can get with company seals yet? I was thinking about getting one to gain crafting levels.

I bought one. My opinion is that it's not really worth the seals unless you have a stash of seal with nothing to get. The fastest way to level up crafting I've found is doing tradecraft leves and turning in HQ items. You get triple the listed xp. Granted you need a little bit of prep to get HQ starter materials and whatnot.

Think I'll take you up on the offer :/ I liked my old FC, but if no one plays, I have to PuG EVERYTHING. After the 37th Ifrit HM PuG, I can't take it anymore. Send me a tell next time you're on, tried to reach you but couldn't.

I've only meant a couple of players that made me look at my TV with disgust, but out of the vast number on the server that isn't anything surprising.
Though certain tasks are difficult as hell. lol

Yeah i found out about the leve crafting quests the other day. It is a great way to level up. Thanks for the post on the manuals.

Right on, We are on almost every day. Most of us stay up late at night during the week, and are also on all weekend. Ill send you a tell in the game when i log on tonight. I am typically on around 10:30 pm- 3:00am central time during the week, and all day during the weekends.

So been away for business and I dont get home until tomorrow night. I cant stop wanting to play, haha. I even told a business associate I would moogle some paperwork over to him and to my surprise, he got the reference lol. This game is too much fun.

I think the only thing I dislike so far, is how much ego is in the game. Sometimes in voip (I have 5 mumble/ts/vent/raidcall, i frequent) there is always several people talking like elitest. As an avid gamer, this is so annoying to me and I end up having to insult these people. I dislike having to do that, but im here playing this game to take a break from "hardcore PvP" mmos with way too much of that drama. A lot of people need to relax and realize how easy this game really is, before going overboard on how good they think they are at it. Its the same people who talk about how bad or broken the game is, or how hacked it is. Yet they play like 10 hours a day!

Relax and have some fun, anything you do in this game has already been done, I promise you, and probably much more effectively. Try to just have fun!!

Speaking of wanting to play...I bought the collector's eddition, and the other day at work i popped in the game music cd it came with. All day i wanted to go home and get online!

Lol, I'm the same way. I had purchased Answers awhile ago and every time it begins to play on my iPod it's like this strong force that demands me to be online. XD
