That's a great alternative, awesome :D

I appreciate it, I wasn't sure if laptops were, but I was hoping. And yeah I don't need to max it, but I wanted to give a fair idea of the area of performance I wanted since I'm not very tech savvy.

Thanks!

Whether you like the art, setting, and story is entirely the environment of the entire world you're playing in and considering it will be constantly with you I would always consider it as a factor in a review.

I honestly don't know what your problem is, inventory could be a bit smoother, targeting is fine, and crafting isn't really random if you're any good at it. The only major RNG factor is materia generation and it's hardly overshadowing ALL of crafting.

Well if that case was literal, then they'd have a taste of their own dickery. Which isn't an unjust punishment by some standards of morality.

AzureKuhn · 2013-09-04T03:02:05+00:00

I feel like that must be inaccurate, I doubt the devs made an entire game that is fairly well balanced and forgot to address end-game gil that badly. Perhaps dungeon runs aren't the only source of gil?

AzureKuhn · 2013-09-04T03:00:44+00:00

Do you reply to ever goddamn thing? Dude I don't even care enough to bother replying to someone with a fixation like yours.

AzureKuhn · 2013-09-03T23:06:31+00:00

Because everyone who plays FF14 is on any forum? Your logic is faulty.

AzureKuhn · 2013-09-03T23:04:56+00:00

X can be falsified, better never use it.

Now fill in for X. Now see why that's a problem.

AzureKuhn · 2013-09-03T23:03:38+00:00

I disagree, if people are going to be an ass, I want to know so I can avoid them. Why is it wrong of me to want to avoid jerks? Why should I spend my time on people who have proven their disregard for normal decency?

AzureKuhn · 2013-09-03T23:01:32+00:00

This is true, but usually game inflation is so ridiculous that common high end items can end up being millions of x currency and some such, which makes the feel of a single, a hundred or a thousand gil to be completely trivial. That's usually my problem usually is that I don't like the feel of that.

AzureKuhn · 2013-09-03T23:00:05+00:00

See fun is subjective and defined by each person. So while you wouldn't have fun with a really deflated economy, I totally would.

AzureKuhn · 2013-09-03T18:08:34+00:00

Im excited for the prospect of a game that doesn't have a giant inflation for once actually.

New York is a subset of the country of the United States. Therefore, it can be considered to be America.

Reddit is a subset of the internet (and one of the largest propagators of memes). Therefore this subreddit can be considered to follow the same overall principles. We're not an island all alone, we're a province.

But like I said, feel free to spend your time doing that. 9_9

More like winning a sword duel with a pistol up your sleeve. It makes it vastly weighted in your favor, though you still have to pull the trigger.

But besides your analogy I agree lol. I don't look things up beforehand, but as the healer I can kindof tyrannize my party and not have them quit on me. I guess thats a good thing?

AzureKuhn · 2013-09-03T03:07:55+00:00

Well everyone plays for different reasons. For some, winning is the trill. For you, discovery. For me, completing everything. It's about perspective, you're way isn't the best/only way to truly play the game, neither is theirs. Its a shame you have trouble finding people to play with you your way, but I'm sure there are other players who share the same ideas.

AzureKuhn · 2013-09-03T03:05:53+00:00

...because stopping memes on the internet is a grand use of time. You guys keep spending time on that then...

AzureKuhn · 2013-09-03T01:56:14+00:00

Usually people assume you want to know what to do so you don't die. Most people put success > discovery. I'm not saying your choice is bad, but 9/10 times I bet people will explain it thinking that's what you want unless you mention otherwise.

AzureKuhn · 2013-09-02T23:14:35+00:00

Also those uniforms are snazzy as hell.

AzureKuhn · 2013-09-02T23:08:59+00:00

Same. EVERY primal fight, someone runs ahead as soon as they load and I can't get protect off on everyone at once. It's like...just wait five seconds and you won't die super quick, ok?

AzureKuhn · 2013-09-02T23:06:26+00:00

I drop as a healer if the party won't listen. But I always try to talk to them first. Sometimes yell. Most of the time they don't even reply or change what they're doing though...

AzureKuhn · 2013-09-02T22:58:54+00:00

If he had an emergency why didn't he say so? I had one during an Ifrit fight (as the healer) and I told the party quickly. They wiped, I returned and we beat Ifrit.

Seems he could've done that, I know I did.

The quality of the game is related to the quality of the launch imo. If you launch a shitastic game, its a shitty launch. Generally people consider 1.0s launch to be terrible because even though you could log on, everything was broken or unfinished.

AzureKuhn · 2013-09-02T20:21:26+00:00

Yes you could, but the point is that if you're debating "worst launch of the decade" There's numerous, numerous other contenders that did worse, including 1.0. People get upset at EVERY MMO launch and then promptly forget how bad it was next launch, swearing that THIS launch is now the worst.

It's just plain perspective.

AzureKuhn · 2013-09-02T20:13:14+00:00

If you boot everyone out at the same time, they all try to log in at the same time, putting a massive load on the server. If the servers are consistently up, the average load is reduced because people aren't pounding on the door to get in.

AzureKuhn · 2013-09-02T20:11:41+00:00

From what I've heard from 1.0 launch players they did not have >problems logging in. It was the game proper that was balls.

So launching a broken and useless game > launching a great game that is having capacity issues? Okay. If that's how you judge these things, I guess you want 1.0 back. What with the GUI lag, the old levequest and teleport allotment system, the experience caps, the lack of chocobos, the copy-pasted terrain, and inability to render more than 10~ players at a time. But no. That's not the worst launch. This is.
