wow... rested experience just wow...

[Kiote]

I wish I could have extracted that info from the letter myself, but I could not.

Basically, I expect rested Exp to be comparable to the Guardian aspect in potency, but with more flexibility. Maybe a bit stronger for really casual player, but then again, I really don't know.

I trust the devs here for balancing they are aware of all that stuff that people bring here

If you had taken the time to actually read this forum, you would have noticed that i am discussing Rested XP as it was implemented in every other MMO since it was thought up. You may be astonished to know that it has never changed.

That being said, I already stated, which you would also have found out by reading before you comment, that it is possible for this system to be different. That, however, does not mean that we should not discuss the flaws of a system and how they could possibly impact the system already in this game. That is, after all, why these forums exist.

There is a blatant flaw in the Standard Rested XP system when it is applied to FFXIV. That is the simple fact that we already receive far to much XP to maintain a decent leveling curve without the majority of player out leveling the game. There is no need for Bonus XP for a grind party in a Game that at Max level currently requires only 100 Kills to level.

Oh awesome! Which ones and what's your role?

Rhomagus!! I really haven't looked into it but what ever happened to the Dodo Stampede!?

I miss your sexy voice.

[Rhomagus]

I'm blown away by all the facts.

I never knew.

My entire worldview has completely changed.

What?

Are you one of the computers that was programmed to love?

What sorcery is this?

To be honest though a lot of things happened. Aniero put it best on this last week's episode of Push to Talk;

"Getting people together for a podcast is like herding cats."

How true that is.

Also creative differences.

Also real life/work/holiday season.

On the upside, I do plan on releasing something here soon. Still have to write up some show outlines. I'll probably have something available around 1.21 or so.

This is the second time someone called me out on the forums in reference to the show. It really is a pleasant surprise ^^b

p.s. also skyrim

It just amazes me, forums really are no different no matter which game you play. People will complain about everything they possibly can, and they will make up any excuse for it, no matter how silly or insignificant.

I swear, if SE gave us an in game item as a gift for supporting them, people would not only complain about the gift itself, they would complain about it being handed to them, despite it being a gift.

Oh wait...

I still complain about that gift but shhh ^.^

The chemistry you all have is perfect, its a shame you have scheduling issues, I haven't laughed so hard listening to a podcast since Chinchilla was on PFA (*sniff*)!

Plus, you do have a hot voice.

I do hope there is a future for your podcast! ;_; I will be happy to see what you have in store.

I'm floored by the compliments. Thank you very much, especially the Chinchilla reference. I too have not laughed so hard listening to a podcast since Chinchilla was on PFA.

*to the drawing board*

Now you are assuming what I have read or not, or understood or not, and these assumptions you make are the exact reason that I disagree with some of your points; that does not mean that I am attacking your argument as a whole.

I entirely agree with the bolded part. Now if you try to understand my point rather than trying to find reasons to discard my posts, you will notice that what I want to point out is that I don't see why people are assuming the worse, and yes, they do.

For instance, there is no reason to assume that such bonus will be more potent than the current guardian aspect, so no reason to assume that it will make leveling easier than it is now. Is current leveling too easy? That is a different problem. There is no reason to assume that it will be totally unbalanced and ruin the game.

I respect that you work in MMOs and appreciate your input, but do you think that the dev team has overlooked such basic aspects that you point out even tho you don't know the specifics? Don't forget that the game is being built for 2.0's content and playerbase, it will never deliver a satisfying amount of content to keep maxed players busy until that time.

Of course it's worth discussing it, that's what those forums are for. But assuming a failure based on what we don't know is not constructive. Propositions, like that "Lag before accumulating bonus" thingy you brought, are constructive.

From within the pressing crowd walks out a lone child... a small tear sliding down her weathered cheek. A nearby man attempts to restrain the child, shouting verbal warnings in a frantic tone. Nervously the little girl escapes the man's ever fading alerts and continues to walk forward, her eyes affixed on the writhing creature.

Weak from mental and physical exertion, the creature spasms uncontrollably yelling curses in a monotone drone, it's eyes moving dully with a lucidity liken to insanity.

As the girl draws nearer to the creature, the monster begins to move toward the girl in psychotic jerks with an eerie sluggish motion.

A moogle appears between the two...
It squeaks, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, KUPO!"

The girl is startled.
The monster looks startled.
The moogle is suddenly wearing a shirt with large black letters that read "FFXI"!

The moogle speaks again in it's squeaky yet cute voice, "Why oh why... kupo... young girl you know this monster will kill you yes, kupo? And monster... you know you're about to kill this innocent girl, yes kupo?"

The girl nods.
The monster nods.

The moogle seems baffled, yet amused, "Then why kupo are you... kupo... going through with it?... KUPO?!?!?!?!?!?!"

The girl replies softly in a thick british accent, "'cause imma innocent lil o' girl, sur" *making a sadface*

The moogle nods partially and then looks at the monster expectantly with a *you should know better* look on it's face.

The monster grunts in a voice sounding much like the depths of hell made manifest, "IM A SCIENTIST! UMM...." *the creature seems confused and intent on chasing the thought indefinitely escaping the tiny thought catcher in his head* "S.T.A.R-rRRRR-RRR-RR-RRRRRRRRRRR... MMO MAKE... ME... SAD... ME KILL... ALL THING IN WORLD... !!1!1!1!1!!11"

The moogle winces at the now screechingly loud beast and sighs... "why... kupo.. are you so messed up kupo?"

The beast BASHES A CAR WITH HIS BAREFIST! "S.T.A.RZzzZzzZ!!!!!!!! ME DESTROY ALL! ANGERRRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrr!"

Yoshi-P appears and slaps everyone in the face, "LOOK! IM TIRED, I BARELY SLEEP! IM STARTING TO LOOK LIKE AN OLD GRANDPA AND THIS FFXIV PROJECT IS STRESSING ME THE ****(Danish for cheese) OUT!! SO GET A LIFE AND STOP BASHING MY ****'ing GAME OKAY?!"

The moogle and everyone else gasps and nods in agreement. However, the monster is more enraged! The beast shrieks in some unkown language directed straight at Yoshi-P! "ME BETTER THAN YOU!!! DIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"

The beast attempts to strike Yoshi-P. Yoshi sees the fatal destructo blow nearing and...

DELETES THE MONSTERS ACCOUNT.

The End.

*huggles* :3

You know, maybe this is just me being a Grammar Nazi, but I really can't take anyone seriously as any kind of halfway decent professional if they don't even know the difference between "to" and "too". The odd typo? Fine. But mistaking the two words, every single time, tells me that you failed at English, and hence, have communication skills too poor to make you a valuable asset to any business worth its salt.

In other news, rested experience kills all MMOs -- that's why WoW was so unpopular. Shit died after like a month. Why would FFXIV be stupid enough to take cues from such a failed product?

Derpa derpa.
