What is a resource that ffxiv sites don't have that you would like to see? by lerinakin ffxiv

[–]SnakeLinkSonic 1 point2 points ago

Not sure if this is what you're looking for but I've been dumping a screencap archive into my Flickr since I started last month. Here is a link to the photoset: http://www.flickr.com/photos/snakelinksonic/sets/72157629903263409/

Anybody on Ragnarok (or know of any linkshells there)? by SnakeLinkSonicin ffxiv

[–]SnakeLinkSonic[S] 0 points1 point ago

I'll be on in about an hour from now. I'm currently hiking it towards Gridania and am just over half-way there. Meet up in about an hour then?

Debating moving servers after 2 months of play... by ruebeusin ffxiv

[–]SnakeLinkSonic 0 points1 point ago

I'm still trying to grow my little Linkshell. We've got 6 people now at least.

Ah ok. I'm going to Gridania for the first time today so I'll be over in that area for a while. I should be back in Ul'dah sometime soon though. What times will you be playing today?

Gotcha both on my friend's list. Where are your starting cities? I'll give you both Linkshells when I'm able to meet up.

I'm in Limsa, in the Drowning Wench. I'll be playing in about an hour for a while.

Ruebeus would like to start one. Want to give it a go?

I just started and am totally new to the game so I'm more than willing to help start one.

The Mog Log: Ain't what she used to be by SnakeLinkSonicin ffxiv

[–]SnakeLinkSonic[S] 0 points1 point ago

At least it stands a reasonable chance at this point. With the number of people I've seen getting bored with WoW and constant threads on boards and even this subreddit along the lines of "Is it good now?!" & "should I buy it yet!?", it's getting dragged back out into the spotlight by indirect curiosity at the very least. It will be interesting to see how it's received on the PS3 launch too. Doesn't hurt that it's cheap as shit now either.

With the release of Diablo 3, what is your view on "Always Online" DRM? by zuyxin truegaming

[–]SnakeLinkSonic 0 points1 point ago

I was ready to buy it until I heard this last year. There are some lines I won't cross and this is one of them. There's a myriad of situations in my case where I just can't always be connected to the Internet (and even that's assuming the connection is consistently stable and in my control to begin with).

650+ Hours... gone... by hardlyRomanticorein darksouls

[–]SnakeLinkSonic 0 points1 point ago

Damn. This happened to me after the 400 hour mark. It was tough deleting it, but starting over wasn't nearly as hard as I expected it to be. I got back to where I was in less than half the time.

Also, do you know how it happened? Typically it's from turning your game off while the little flame in the top-right indicates saving is in progress.

Ex-FFXI Player, Current WoW Player. Convince me to buy FFXIV. by [deleted]in ffxiv

[–]SnakeLinkSonic 1 point2 points ago*

I only recently found out that XI was recently updated to be more accessible to new players, but I'm coming at this as someone who played the game from 2006-2008 and as you said, it was a game you have to commit to.

I just recently got XIV and as of patch 1.22 (i.e. the game has come a long way from its initial release so don't let an outdated opinion deter or scare you off), the game is far less brutal, though it does vaguely resemble its predecessor in those times. You can certainly get more accomplished in a shorter span of time, but it's still requires a bit more investment than something such as WoW. It's still somewhat sparse compared to the content most people expect from MMOs now, but that's yet to be something that's turned me off from it. Ironically enough, both games can be downright lonely as far as MMOs go, especially if you're someone prone to soloing like me.

As eyekas said though, it's cheap now (I got mine through Amazon for $10). If you loved XI, it's at least worth trying out for a month.

Dark Souls sells over a million in the West by zakislamin Games

[–]SnakeLinkSonic 0 points1 point ago

I guess the primary sentiment around these parts is that it won't be up to par with the console standards, but that's problematic to look at all on its own. Sadly, you may very well be in the minority in not needing all the bells and whistles.

Here's to hoping that it is up to that level at least, though it most likely wont sell even if it is (in which case everyone blames each other for various narrow-minded reasons).
