Expected? I doubt you, or anyone, expected this level of server / game instability, given that this is the RE-launch of FFXIV, something one would expect SE to not want to mess up (like they are doing ever so gloriously).

They've revamped everything, so I'm not really sure if it does them any good even if they did FFXIV 1.0 before. This is basically an all new MMO, not just some big update on some old one, and well, server problems are always there with the launch of new MMOs. Having server problems early on is hardly cause for some "they are messing up EVERYTHING!!!!!!1!1!!!!11!1" hysteria

 

[GuitarGuruu]

Anyone know if I make a character on a JP server if I can transfer it to a NA one?

 

[RiderKairuu]

I got in! Hopefully this lasts.

 

[TheGrue]

Why does Ultros always say it's full all day long? I just want to play.

 

[aceface]

I'm ready for my first dungeon except that I'm a DPS so you know how that works out. Lol it's a shitload of DPS outside of Sastash a few tanks and absolutely no Conjurers

I'm new to this MMO stuff, does DPS=Thamaturge in this game?

 

[StMeph]

I just realized that basically all of my character progression is from Phase 4, and I have barely got anywhere during this HS period.

gg

 

[Varna]

Seriously, you can't sell dungeon drops on the auction house?

 

[Zafir]

I still don't really get job choices. The guide I read said for Dragoon I needed 30 lancer and 15 pugilist. However some other guides say 15 Marauder instead... Did I waste my time getting pugilist to 15? >.<

I'm a conjurer, and I need to do that dungeon, but I can't get online. Oh well!

Gonna sleep, hope to wake up and find all the issues have been fixed!

Yes unfortunately. It changed from 1.0

How!? Show me the way!

 

[chickdigger802]

Yup, can't wait for them to disappear tbh

you can play atm without buying the game or legacy?

 

[Aeana]

DPS is everything except marauder, gladiator (tanks) and conjurer (healer).

 

[threetri333]

Hey guys, my friend has a FF14 and paid at least 3 months for it, but the question is, how do I get started with the account?

How to get legacy membership?

Edit: The error I get for loggin into their website is: "You could not log in because the service account in question is not registered.
If you would like to log in to the service, please log in to the Square Enix Account Management System and register the service account."

And at my FF14 Service account, I get this: "Code registration currently unavailable."

Help!

 

[chrono01]

A lot of people abused Amazon's pre-ordering system and pre-ordered the game, received the Early Access codes, and subsequently cancelled.

 

[Zafir]

Sigh. All the effort of logging in through this mess of an early access, and I don't even need the damn class.

 

[Salaadin]

Preorder on amazon, get an early access code, cancel preorder, redeem code.

A lot of people playing right now did that and have early access without paying a dime.

 

[aceface]

Ah, ok. Well, I'm none of those.

 

[BooJoh]

Can you rename your Chocobo or are you stuck with the name you give it? I'm stuck just standing here in front of the Chocobo ready to pick it up D:

 

[eudaemonic]

Yeah, heard of people just canceling their pre-order after they got their code. So it's expected some people will probably say fuck it and not be there when they need to put the actual game key in.

I'm also new to the genre. I did find out it means Damage per second. Those classes are Thamaturge, Arcanist, Lancer and Pugist

They'll regret it when they see how awesome the game is.

If they managed to even log in, that is.

 

[RiderKairuu]

How!? Show me the way!

I just kept clicking away. Hopelessly!

 

[LeviGratton]

So Yoshi-P says the problem can't be fixed while so many people are playing at once.

People say make more servers.

If they make more servers then when the inevitable 3 month population decline occurs we get ghost servers and wasted resources.

See: SW:ToR launch.

If they shut down the servers long enough to do any serious upgrades, people will freak out about their loss of early access.

What do you do to win here?

 

[gribbles]

Can someone please explain to me whats wrong with the following macro?

/action "Heavy Swing"
/action "Skull Sunder"

When i use this macro, skull sunder doesn't activate, only heavy swing. Help me MacroGAF!

 

[mattiewheels]

Didn't your PS3 blow up?

 

[SoraanTribal]

Can't wait until I unlock Scholar. No more long waits in the Duty Finder.

The solution is definitely to shut it down and get it fixed. Letting it go with errors is helping nobody.

Both actions are tied to the global cooldown. Put a /wait # macro in between.

Guessing GCD. Is there a wait command?

I have full confidence in that!

I haven't played a whole lot of it this weekend [thanks to the server/login issues], but the small amount I did is enough for me to say that the game will be incredible. It has everything I could possibly want in an MMO, and it helps that it contains Final Fantasy lore [since I love the series].

Will I be playing it a year from now? Hard to say, but if they're consistent with releasing new content/expansion packs, there's an extremely good chance that I will be.

I have a strong feeling that this will be my new addiction...

Fucking hell. Do they expect this to just fix itself or something? Why're they acting so fucking incompetent? Shut down the servers and fix this shit.
I'd be all for ceasing the early access in favour of them fixing this completely.

 

[DarkKyo]

I can't believe I just claimed the name "Panzer Percival" on my server

 

[Isaccard]

Woo, Halatali and Toto-Rak complete, good day

 

[mattiewheels]

I'm surprised 'David Bowie' was still available on mine. They're slacking.

Well, maybe people read the ToS bit about using people's names and trademarked names for characters.

I know server mergers are not something devs want to announce but what if it was something that was per-emptively announced? Announce an outlined plan to have plenty of servers early on, offer free transfers for people that can't group with their friends right away and once the population stabilizes prepare the community for some mergers. I don't see how it could cause too much harm since apparently everyone knows things like the first month is going to be shit anyways and people should just accept it.

Thanks guys. Is there any way to make macros automatically loop? Like I press the button once, and it automatically keeps looping back from the start when it reaches the end of the macro?

This link might help you guys (with MMO terms/slang).

 

[Jacobbles]

So when your World is full and you can't get in, what's the protocol?

Just mash X until you get lucky?

 

[aceface]

New wave just came on Ultros! Welcome from purgatory!

Why not? Saves me the trouble of having to press a button every few seconds.

Made it into ultros.
