I just wanted to say that I love the death sytem - A WHM

[MysteriousRonin]

I just wanted to say that I love that a lot of people need resurrections in this game. I remember in FFXI how much I loved just wondering around leveling areas and helping random people as a WHM, and I was afraid I wouldn't be able to do that in XIV.

Having it this way really brings the community together because there are so many people willing to help out their fellow players. Just a few minutes ago someone asked for a raise and a few seconds after I got there to resurrect him/her, five other CON/WHM showed up to help. It makes me happy after playing all these other MMO's with toxic communities for so long, that this one has a community willing to help each other out like the good old days of FFXI.

Sorry if this seems like a pointless thread, but I just wanted to add something positive since there has been so much negativity on here lately.


I'm curious, has anyone else find anything that they love about this game that is overlooked by most?

[Deathevan7]

Not much else to add. A nod in agreement to you good sir.

[Milmoko_Gemoko]

Theres some random nice healers/players on Ultros and Phoenix - I've been "cured" a few times by randomers but not brought back from KO.
Anyway I want to say THANK YOU to anyone whoes healed Zack Hyrule [Ultros] or Milmoko Gemoko [Pheonix], sorry I didnt thank you in game as i didnt know who you where and im still getting to hang of sending messeges to players as well - I'm a MMO n00b so please be paitent

Weird, on Leviathan it goes a little something like:

/sh RASE ME
/sh RASE ME
/sh RASE ME
/sh RASE ME
/sh RASE ME
/sh RASE ME

and then if you do it despite them spamming, they simple get up and walk away without so much as a thanks.

[AlyssaImagine]

I agree! Sometimes after I raise or heal someone, they'll even help me take down my monsters without needing or asking them to. There are always those who still ignore, or spam ask, though. They are easy enough to ignore.

[Mysticstrider]

I love that feel, always. XD

Just a note to those needing a raise, please remember to be specific and to use auto translate when possible.

Here's an example shout that'll probably get you raised every time:
/sh <Raise> <Can I have it?> <Please assist.> <pos> <Thank you>

The <pos> part identifies where in the zone you are so that people can click on it to put a flag to you on their map, making it easy to find you. The rest are all auto translate words and phrases, so that even if you and your potential raiser don't speak the same language, the message can still get through. Manners also helps a lot ^_^

I raise people if I can but it can be very disheartening if people don't say where they are and then rage when people trying to help them can't find them.

I love when I can actually play. Can't wait for the server fix next week.

Well given that you can hop on your chocobo in the field and arrive to the place to raise someone generally in less than two minutes, the way this game works makes it a lot less of an inconvenience to go raise someone. Also it's level 12 CNJ ability so it doesn't take long to acquire and a lot of people equip it when playing other mage jobs so it's far more common. It's not so much an effect of the death system... moreso a side effect of the ability to raise being more common and the game being set up such that it's not a major inconvenience to do so.

In XI it was like....

/sea whm 25-
/sea rdm 38-
/sea blm 50-
/sea smn 50-
/sea sch 35-
**hope someone was in the zone...**
/t <randomwhm> (Raise) (can I have it?) <pos> (Thank you.)
**hope they respond**
**receive tell saying it will cost 5k**
FFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU.


Also the fact that there are masses of players online constantly helps here too lol

Sounds like a Ul'dah White Mage has found an interdemention rift between XI & XIV.
