Official Unofficial Bugs, Thoughts, and Suggestions

Re: Official Unofficial Bugs, Thoughts, and Suggestions

That was their point. They don't want people monopolizing the economy right from the get go. Hence, the bazaars and the prices of things not so constant and easily priced.

The AH is in, but just closed off.

How do you monopolize something using the AH in any way you can't not by using the AH?

I see a lot of people trying to craft, but I doubt a lot of people are going to take it seriously until release.

Yea, but without an auction house, it must be hard to get stuff you need like a shield and pants like I've seen people complaining about on forums, and comments in videos.

Really? That will be useful. I can't really see how there can be any decent economy if everyone needs to run around and buy things from bazaars...

Yea. A LOT of games run off a bazaar system, but very few games actually use an auction house. The ones with the auction house usually tend to have people that have up to date gear, and can be trusted to tank something for you, or beable to deal damage at a decent rate and so on. The game with just abazaar system just make it harder. Its nice to have a bazaar so you can sell stuff of the auction house with out having to run to an auction house every time you want to sell something.

I just hope to see an auction house kinda like a combo of FFXI's and WoW's. Where it doesn't show the price history, but the current rate of all the other items. Like it shows how much some one wants for an item, but you can search it by FFXI's type of search function.

Yes, an auction house in FFXI made life so much simpler. Too bad they don't have one in FFXIV yet. I remember somewhere though that they will be putting on in after the official release.

As far as I can see, there are two places that LOOK sort of like merchant outposts on the map near Ul'dah, the Silver Market and Gold Market or something similar. Anyone on Lindblum and into crafting? I'd love to throw money at you so I can have pants. :<

Ok dude, are you not Dura from Crystal Guardians?

Nope, but I was the guy you ran into earlier. LOL I was in TheEternalFlames on Leviathan server in FFXI.

Re: Official Unofficial Bugs, Thoughts, and Suggestions

Happened to me twice yesterday. Mine randomly crashed earlier today, but was fine after that.

I ran into someone named Durahan Solo today in beta but it wasn't the Dura I know.

Re: Official Unofficial Bugs, Thoughts, and Suggestions

I would kind of like to find some new weapons and armor. There's no players selling anything in the way of either of those, all I've been able to find are 50,000 copies of the same copper ring. Crafting doesn't really interest me because I don't feel like looking for crystals and trying to figure out how to make hats.

I want an auction house!

Re: Official Unofficial Bugs, Thoughts, and Suggestions

Which other MMOs? Comparing a WoW player's level of exploration to an FFXI player's would be idiotic for numerous reasons, mainly the lack of meaningful death penalty and the ability to freely navigate around the zones without invisible walls hampering your progress. Now, if you compared FFXI players with EQ players you're far more likely to see a correlation. So please, get off your high horse and stop taking snide shots at FFXI players.

Suuuuure, did you ever play EQ?

FFXI's death penalty is and always was a slap on the wrist compared to the likes MMOs that preceded it and that didn't stop people in Everquest from exploring. You could be millions in EXP debt and still be willing to hoof it to an alternate camp if one was taken by another party. For that to happen in FFXI today would be a very, very rare moment of dignity and consideration toward others.

Really sucks if you crash during a leve.

Re: Official Unofficial Bugs, Thoughts, and Suggestions

Anyone else getting random crashes?

Like, I run this game almost perfectly. But for whatever reason, at random, the game just crashes. Really sucks if you crash during a leve.
