One Year Ago! - The thread

[DoubleEcho]

I remember release day for CE, and everyone in our group starting out in different areas with different linkshells (we had more than 128 to begin with). We all finally got together the first couple weeks and it was great fun finally meeting everyone in game. Then we all did a run around the world. We went through Gridania, then Coerthas, etc to Mor Dhona and some of our more...eh..."gifted" members decided to attack a Toxic Toad when they were R10ish. 15 newbies fighting a high level mob and then zerging back after dying, with one genius crafting in the middle of the fight.

They got it down about 1/4 of the way though!


Also Eft parties where you spammed Cures because it was the only way to get skill points, and/or everyone was trying to get in as many hits as possible. I still remember when they changed this and it was a godsend.

Ugh... That "SP by contribution" thing was horrid. Try keeping a static party going with that system in place lol. I had a small static of 3 and at least one of us was ALWAYS playing catch up in our spare time thanks to random SP gains.

I look back a year and try to forget it ever happened. I even was on a cruise until Sept 22 and that ended up being a huge disappointment too.

Here's to a brighter future for FFXIV! *clink*

I don't want to reminisce about that, it makes me feel ashamed that I used to defend the state of the game back then.

it's worse than a year ago and yoshi is compounding the issue. it's bad when 2 of the 3 biggest ls's on my server are having to merge to have an active ls again. both of these ls's were over 50-75 active pre 1.18 and now are maybe combined that many if they are lucky. don't try to say all servers have increased in population because i can promise you karnak is not one.

[Zenaku]

how can people say it the same as before? does anyone remember when you d/c just by doing a leve? or how bad the lag was? or how dumb the ward system was?

or the fact you needed to do action to get SP per action lol. ya it the same aright lol.

Huh dude? why do you even have to combine linkshells lol dungeon are done in a 4man or 8man so having anything then i would say 30+ active is way to many for how things are right now.

Even doing the med range NM me and my gf did them all so that pointless to even have more people with you lol. So ya pretty much 4-8 people is good enough to play this game.


And also your in a server no one really goes too so that could be the issue there sadly too ps3 we wont see more people.

1 year later and I almost have all battle and mage jobs to 50. What a ride it's been! I've always loved the game... despite it's growing pains.
