We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
Yes, sorry about not tagging you but I couldn't find that post to confirm the username. Anyway, your post was wonderful, I hope we can add it as a threadmark.
One small tweak I did was putting Interact on Y / Triangle and the Speciality on L3. That was you can interact with things while moving which is useful for trade skills and the frequency of use of the speciality skill (at least for my Deathblade) fits ok for the analog click button.
Does it not work? Is it due to EAC? Is it using the old one, not compatible with Proton?
edit: Jesus, sorry for the double post, am dumb.
Game uses Easy Anti Cheat.
Wouldn't hold out my hopes for Deck support.
This one is so dope !At some point I'm going to stop making characters and actually play one.
Steamworks Development - Steam Deck Anti-Cheat Update - Steam News
Good news for EAC on Deck + Steam Deck test results getting published soon
Why?
Wow at that Castle Siege mission O_o
Is this just the money-shot moment of the game or can I expect more on the scale and spectacle of that later on?
Love it.

From clicking "play" in steam to actually getting to any sort of title menu? A good minute or two.
Queue for Thirian EU is now 17000, usually 3000 queue positions per hour, so thats like a 6 hour queue minimum and its been like that since about 3-4pm. Basically if you want to play at all in the next couple of weeks you are going to have to log in mid afternoon at the latest to have any chance.
Dude, this is EXACTLY the way to go. Because sometimes id accidently use Y (speciality) when I didnt mean to due to Holding R trigger Y for my ability or something. whereas that wont happen with it on the L click
Y as interact and L click as Specialty 2 is WIN WIN (For most classes)
It just doesn't work as well for Gunslinger class unfortanately. I need Character Specific binds (which I hope they give us in the future maybe?).
I made a character on Mokoko last night (well, early morning EU time) because it was one that wasn't "busy" at the time and the name is funny and it looks like one of the fastest to get into. Checked the Era EU guild server and that was a LOT busier (like 2x the queue) so will take a while to make one on there, will leave it a bit.
Made a Bard on the NA Era server though and can get in easy right now so will play there a bit.
My first choice went through, which surprised me when I read that people were taking certain names.
Anyway, I've never EVER played a game like this before. Is the idea to build yourself up and remain stationary while fighting or are you supposed to move around? Because that's a bit awkward TBH 🤣
You can expect bigger.
Remember, that Castle Siege was launch content. This is what the game came with Day 1 on launch in end of 2018
Cursed. Thanks a lot
Can I at least create my character and play the tutorial?
Well it's also years of content and QOL updates that stacked up over the years, but the game looked cool even with its reveal trailer. Who knows if a publisher from half a decade ago would have done right for the western market. It won't pull me back into my diablo grind since i can only do so many mmo things at one time but people aren't starving for content that's for sure.
I mean, they're fundamentally different kinds of game when it comes to combat and how you use those skills. That's not to say that FF's is inherently better or something, it's just different - and inherently more complicated than FF's.
Most of the jobs in FF revolve around very clear 1-2-3 combos, building gauges, spending the gauges, etc. You use the majority of non-combo attacks right as they go off cooldown; auto-attacking is a thing that is literally automatic and is effectively incidental. You may spend more time reading the tooltips due to more skills but it's usually clear enough what to do just from that. There are definitely some like Black Mage where you really do need to go to outside resources for the rotation, unless you just have a much much bigger brain than I do I suppose, but they're mostly an outlier. The thing is, either way, you have a very clear rotation. That rotation is very gradually expanded on (sometimes way too gradually!) as you level and gain new skills. The jobs that start at higher levels may drop more skills on you at first, but they're still designed in a very similar way because they need to be playable from level 1 due to instances syncing you down.
(And… also you can't start as those so that's not really directly relevant to this anyway? When you start the game, you're a level 1 class that barely has any skills, and for a good while you're just building up to your basic combo and maybe some buffs/a ranged attack to use as needed. For some classes (for the worse) you might not even have an AOE combo for like 40 levels.)
Here… no, I'm looking at my Sorcereress skills and I don't actually know how to use them. Yes, I've read the tooltips, I know what they do. I don't know how to actually use them in battle effectively. Like is there an order I should be using them in for buffs/debuffs/crowd control, or are they more situational and I won't be screwing up my damage as long as I'm doing something? Should I be doing them all as they go off cooldown or saving them for those situations? Is some skill worthless and a dps loss to use? Do I care about auto-attacking, and if so, when? To be clear I'm 100% not saying this needs to be the same combat as FF or something, it's a different genre and that's cool and appealing to me, it just needs more explanation as a result.
When I can login later I'll go do the training stuff and it'll hopefully help; might watch a guide over my lunch if I can find a good one too. And obviously this is something that won't matter later when you've learned the class, it's purely a matter of the way you're dumped into combat. It's just definitely a little overwhelming to just be dropped in with 0 explanation, especially when it then prompted me to do some mechanics mid-battle but didn't take that opportunity to actually explain it.
My Internet went down for a few minutes, the game crashed. But I was able to get back online without waiting time. I guess the game reservers your slot for a certain time for cases like this? Would be nice.
Try things out. Use the skills you like and that work for what you are doing.
The game has action combat and all enemy attacks are random. There are some classes that have a bit of a "rotation" but none of that stuff really works cause you are constantly moving and dodging.
During the 1-50 leveling, just try all the skills, put some points in them, try out the different tripods on them to see how they change the skill, switch skills out when you get new ones to test them.
You can not die, you can't do anything really wrong here, this is all content for you to just mess around in and get through to get to the actual game.
Just remember, it's an action game you see from the top. Don't think MMO combat, especially not tab target and holy trinity based stuff.
Yeah it is supposed to do that! Glad to see it works.
You will figure it out as you play. One of the reasons it doesn't outline a rotation clearly like in games like FF14 is because you can change the nature of all of the skills when you spec them in the skill tree. Now in the 30s I have built my own rotations/setups and it just came to me naturally.
It's totally an option to ignore it, it does help you along if you keep at it though.
Strongholds will get a huge update sometime in the future so maybe then it'll be more interesting for you.
yes. once you get to the actual content. this usually starts after you get to 50.
All this talk of long queues is pushing me towards just waiting a couple more weeks before playing. 2+ hour is wild, yet oddly normal for an mmo.
Stagger type checks are the only notable ones that come to mind. And you get that tutorial during the story as well, for what it's worth. Beyond that, I guess normal concerns about animation lock and then stuff like mobility, super armor, etc. type things? That said, that's only my experience through T1, I should hopefully be into T2 this weekend.
So is guild prgress meant to be incredibly slow or what? We finished the one guild task that we had and we cant do the next level of it yet, and we cant accept another one, and we cant reaseach andying, and when we complete this task we wont even have leveled up. And this task won't complete until the weekly reset? Yikes
Wish you could have a first and last name for characters but seems to have an issue whenever you put a space in the name. All the first names I could think of were already taken lol. Just quickly created a character on Mari earlier this morning in case it locked down again, but not sure I got a name I fully like yet. Not that it really matters, but one of those details I like when creating a new character.

You can also see the archetype popularity in game but that's just for the server I believe.
I just tried both pinnacle profiler and joy2key and neither work when I assign RB to right stick press
Is there any way to remap right stick press in the actual game? I can't believe this is the default for such a commonly used input. Dragging anything is absolute hell on my thumb
Yes guild progress is generally slow and the only way to speed it up is getting more members.
That's why fully leveled guilds are super precious
You swap them out. You can only ever have 8 skills + your ultimate + your identity.
Are you by any chance in Korean Audio? If so there's a known issue where you can set it to Korean without having actually downloaded the files associated with it. You have to acquire the free DLC through steam, install it, close the game that auto-opens, let the download finish and then it'll work
Hmmm I am not totally sure what you tried but you want to use joy2key to directly map mouse left click to the button you want, not map the button to right stick.
Also you may have missed how I set it up for dragging, so you can just have pick up and drop instead of having to hold anything. V. Nice https://www.resetera.com/threads/lost-ark-ot-path-of-diablo-xiv.549307/post-81975625
