And everyone in town just mad dashed to the innkeep lol.
EDIT: Protip - follow the FFXIV Windows theme example, and set the inn sleep music to your PC log out theme.
That being said, how do you guys end up forcing yourself to level another class that you may have thought would be a nice secondary main/gathering? When you need the gil, extra skills, or just at a whim?

Managed to finish a level 15 dungeon with 10 minutes to spare! Went on for a bit longer then I had hoped... was not looking forward to having to repeat it since maintenance was coming up.
Don't usually tank in MMOs so it was a new experience. I went as Marauder and I found the roll pretty fun. Position was key so I could build up enmity with Overpowered and I used Tomahawk to pick up adds. I don't think I lost the enemies attention once during the entire dungeon which was pretty nice. Got a unique axe out of the ordeal.
EDIT: I like the game quiet a bit more after getting the airship pass. At this point there doesn't seem to be much direction... just roaming around picking up quest and eventually stumbling back into the main story.

Glorious!
Managed to dash through Sastasha, beat the boss, grab some plundered gauntlets, and get back to the inn before the servers closed. Gotta say, it was hilarious to see everybody dashing towards the Drowning Wench all at once. (All those Little Lallafell and their Lightning Light Leaps!)
Only issue I had was, that I couldn't figure out how to block out chat coming from the Free Company in general. As in, only seeing what my party is saying. This won't be a long term problem mind you, seeing as I'll be going through GAF for most my instanced dungeons in the future, and that I'm going to set up Mumble sometime tomorrow.
Still, it was a bit distracting, especially since my party was busy trying to kill the bare minimum necessary to get to the boss fast, tip-toeing around mobs we didn't want to fight, etc.
Really fun though, I had forgotten how fun those can be, since I didn't have the chance to go through Sastasha last weekend.
So, tomorrow its time for Copperbell I guess. Though I might go through Sastasha once more just to pick up some better equipment.

What started as a slow day (SE's botched instance servers) ended in a pretty productive night:
Got my Whm crystal + unicorn.
Got my Whm crystal + unicorn.
I'm pretty sure it's strain. it makes sense seeing that JP instance problems are non existent with less people there, and I had little problem getting into the lvl 10 ACN instance after a bunch of people logged off. Ir reminded me a bit of trying to tag/kill mobs in certain quests in WoW during expansion launches.
I really hope SE's maintenance + whatever else fixes these issues though. There's way too much progression tied up into them for bottlenecks like that. Not even being able to job switch/craft til i got it done killed a lot of options I could have had for those few hours and clearly there are plenty of people less patient/understanding than me.
Thankfully, not only was I able to finish my ACN quest, but I unlocked inns, Guildleaves and even got Culinarian to 10 and then finished that quest. They took basically everything I hated about 1.0 regarding crafting and threw it out the window. Basic supplies are pretty much all available on site and in unlimited quantities for cheap, and they reward you with basic upgrades rather than forcing you to spend hours farming mats/leveling other crafts to make them. If they get the instance thing sorted out quickly and keep an eye on endgame class balance I think we'll have a winner.

I was able to unlock Summoner and Scholar just before the server went down.

How did you get this? My girlfriend said she'd play the game if she could ride a unicorn.

managed to complete my story quest thanks to everyone logging off before servers went down lol.
I am going to try and avoid that set at all cost.
Really do hope they get the capacity for the instanced servers at least a little higher tomorrow. In retrospect, I guess I could see how this might happen. I mean, once a few people cannot get into an instance, their instinct is to try again and again, then other people come in behind them and try to get in too. Before too long what would've been mere heavy traffic would become a constant barrage of request, since there's no way to alleviate those requests.
So, even a modest improvement in capacity might do it.

bump for answer!
It definitely doesn't shine when standing still, but it isn't so bad when you're moving around in combat.
u can create a chat tab that filters to your liking
THM 30 and ACN 15
Three hours but they've estimated that every time and it has been shorter, so just keep an eye on twitter in a few hours.

I almost wish the game world was real time, so we could have like an entire day of rain or storming or something.
Thanalan's probably the most aesthetically pleasing of the three starting areas. Granted, I'm biased, I think it looks like some of the drier parts of Idaho so, it speaks to me.
Confirmed? ty!

About 30 seconds ago. Well, for me 30 seconds.
I think those arrive on the 27th.

Haha... That looks like someone lost a bet and then hid his head in a bucket.
It goes in the "game" directory (like C:\Program Files\SquareEnix\FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn\game).
>_<;;
I really feel for you, really. Poor timing can just, drive a person batty sometimes.
ok thanks
Me too, but somewhat I'm happy to have a excuse to sleep 2 more hours and off I go.

Xenoblade time then! Though man.... that bites... I keep picking bad times to be free.
I cant wait to see the snow, or how a really hot area looks.
La Noscea looks cool from what i've seen, but its the parts further away from Limsa. I was surprised the flying hawks (or whatever birds those are) actually cast shadows on the ground. In Texas, so I can relate as well (for the most part). The first image anyway.
Anyway so Paladin is Warrior/Conjurer and Monk is Pugilist/Lancer? Someone said the reqs havent changed in the FC, and I just wanted to make sure.

No you are not. I bought the game around 14 hours ago, and still no code. Just sent a message to SEE customer support, asking to cancel my pre order and have my money refunded.
