Whats up folks. Well I have been sinking a lot of time into FF14 (probably waayyy too much) but its just just a massive and fun game. I unlocked the Monk job saturday and its pretty cool. Thing is it does not replace the pugilist class, they are linked and will level together no matter which one you play. The monk gets some stat boosts and some unique skills but retains most of the skills you have as a pugulist. 

So when I get caught up in a game there is no half steppin. The only reason I'm not playing FF14 right now is they are doing maintance. Its been kind of a weekly thing lately. And its probably a good thing, been having some minor issues with response times in really big chaotic battles. Plus this morning someone was spamming the hell out of the dialog box for some website selling gil and levels for REAL money. I hope this does not become commonplace.

I'm not much on multitasking or in this case jumping arounds from game to game. I didn't get to play FF14 at all last night and they are doing maintanence on it tonight. But the new DLC for Borderlands 2 came out today and it is tough. Digistruct Mountain is a large map like many other of the large areas in the game and since it is supposed to be a kind of training area it has a lot of variations from section to section. Your mission is to be a guinea pig and test it out to make sure its not too tough for the new recruits. But much like the circle of slaughter fights , if you die missions over and you got to start again. I was playing solo so there was no one to revive me, deffinitely geared toward being a multiplayer venture.

Life is good in the world of FF14. I have been playing as a cat guy pugilist, kicking butt and takin names for the most part. But after I hit lv 21 I found that it was time to take brake from adventuring and try my hand at a trade. Part of this reason was because I can make materia now and have plenty of gear with slots for it. Yet I can not learn how to attach them to my gear until I have gotten to lv 19 in a skill of the hand.

Well the good is that I was able to get on and play for quite a while this evening, although I did have to wait about ten minute until some people left. The bad happend about 30 minutes ago when the server got stupid and booted me off. There were messages on the log in screen mentioning this was happening accross all the serevers. After several attempts and the same error messages I gave up. I understand that this is likely to happen but it still annoys the crap out of me. One thing for sure I will have zero tollerence for this kind of BS when they start hitting me up for subscrition fees. If I'm gonna pay to play this sucker better be running perfectly and I better be able to play whenever I choose without having to wait.

Just wanted to share this with my fellow Pixlbits. I though it was pretty cool.

So I just wanted to first say that I was angry at how Square handled the release of FF14, but this holds no bearing in how I feel about the game itself. This is my first time playing an MMO and the fact that it is in the FF universe is just too cool. Since getting in I have been really enjoying it quit a bit. So I hope those who were put off by the initial problems at release don't completely write this game off. Square Enix has not sat idle to correct the situation. They are currently adding new server worlds to the Europe/ North America region. I'd say give it a month and this game will be where it needs to be.

Well due to either incompetance on the part of Gamestop or Square Enix or both I first got screwed out of my early access and bonus dlc perks for preorder. I still plan to call both and complain although I doubt it will get me anywhere. That and the set up for this game has been nothing but confusing. I'm still waiting for it to download some more stuff (85 minutes to go).I have not even got a chance to build my character ot pick a world. And most of the worlds are already maxed out. I'm frustrated and annoyed to say the least. When I get to the point where I can choose which world I'm on I'll let ya'll know. The one good thing I have read is that eventually they will set up a feature that allows you to travel between worlds. So even if some of end up in other places we'll eventually get to hook up, if it all goes as planned. So if anyone else is getting on today let me know where your at. Laters.

Well the tlitle says it all and thats about it. Despite all the complications the game is still in development but is not being treated as a priority amoung a couple of other games in production by Sony's Japan Studios. Its going to be a PS4 title but it sounds like it is going to be a download only as part of PSN . And there is not even a hint as to when it will possibly be released.

Talk about timing, I was just days from cancling my Gamefly subscription when they send me Bioshock Infifnite. So admittedly I have the first two games and have put maybe an hour at most into either of them. I really want to like them but the clausterphobic enviroments and creepy denizens make me feel like I'm trapped in a giant underwater asylem.
