Did you cast your spell and then switch? Or the other way around?

Is this a Japanese thing where they don't really post on the SE forum or did Japan have a really smooth launch in every aspect? (not just server times, but also getting their codes etc..)
No and no.
Quest enemys have an icon over them. Also hunting log enemies have a different icon over their head. If you ever see those icons KILLLLLLL
Just a handy symbol to let you know they are for a quest you have flagged.
I can't vouch for later on, but on the 1st dungeon, I was MRD with a PUG, I was hitting for as much as a PUG if not slightly less (2-4pts) per certain skills. Don't remember lvls, but I think we were the same. Maybe the PUG attacks faster though.
You're not killing them with the correct class I imagine.

That means those monsters are required for an active quest.

You won't be able to queue as a DPS for duty finders, but they seem to do respectable single-target damage if they don't have Defiance on. The weakness is that Overpower generates high threat, and they don't have any other AoE to speak of.

Maybe it's cool that I can't get in today, I was already getting a bit bored of it all when I hit Lv21. I guess I should look into the crafting and stuff, is that entertaining?

Happened to me three times now. About every hour. Twice while healing a dungeon. Then about 20 minutes later I try and get on a queue.

Subbing this... I may be interested. Won't get it until server stuff is resolved, plus I'm juggling like 5 new releases (why did everything come out in august?)
How well is graphic downgrading handled? I assume pretty well since it's Square artists, but I'm just wondering. I won't upgrade my videocard until Black Friday.

So do registration codes even work at the moment via digital download? Want to get a copy for the Mrs. but unsure if that's even going to work.
It went:
Two enemies appear
I sleep dodo 1
manually select dodo 2, cast fire
Here, I thought it would stay on the enemy I selected, but it defaulted back to dodo 1
My next spell hits dodo 1, dodo 1 wakes up and starts to eat me.
BTW, just in case people missed it, it IS confirmed that SquareEnix is expanding their data centers to meet capacity.
It'll take a few days to get the new servers up and running though. They're saying late this week, early next. That makes sense, since setting up a new server isn't as easy as sliding a debit card and pushing a button. It'll take time to set up the software, stress test the hardware, etc etc.
So, yes, between the gradual leveling off of traffic, and increased capacity, congestion woes should be a thing of the past soon.

Everyone does the same damage at that level. That said a mrd competing for threat against other tanks ain't a good idra

My understanding (which could totally be wrong) of those options menu refers to tab targetting. Like if you want to just select enemies, you set the Enemies preference for when your weapon is out. Then, when you target, you have to use the dpad (or whatever the keyboard equivalent is). Just facing something and pressing X won't necessarily follow your targeting preferences.
When you switch targets, you have to confirm it, so pressing X or A or whatever your controller button is. If you just switch without confirming, after you do your first action you'll go right back to whatever your last confirmed target is.

What in the actual fuck is going on over at SOE? I want to play with a friend on Diabolos, yet they have actually closed character creation on not one, but like TWENTY servers?
That is so far beyond acceptable I don't know what to say. My buddy is trying to play as we speak and he can ONLY create on a Japanese server. From Portland.
Is this permanent?

This probably isn't the case, but just to rule it out. You aren't using any skill macros that involve setting a "focus target" and perhaps casting on it?
BananasWithGuns

For fast targeting pretty much.
I don't really use it but it probably is the most useful for a healer. Set the tank as a focus target so you can quickly switch back to them and heal.
I typically just use F1-F4 for that but it might have some applicable use later on when you grow to 8 and 24 man parties.
No, it's not permanent. They've been rotating character creation on servers for the past few days, in order to spread out the population and such.
My server, Midgardsormr is still open. Had very few problems in the past couple of days.

I'm getting a 3035 error when I'm trying to create a character on Malboro and Fairy, the only ones temporarily open. Does that mean that they're full again?
What's the JP exile server of choice? I'm thinking I might as well go there, if the servers are in the US it wouldn't be much of a ping difference anyway.

No, of course it isn't. They're working right now as pointed out above at getting new datacenteres up to expand worlds.

How did you get that? Is there a way to pay for the days now?

Maybe you can Ctrl+F the big bad, and then after you're done killing adds you can focus right back, I guess. I dunno.

Thanks for the good news. Was just shocked because the verbiage on the forums sounded ominous, and I needed a good freak out session for a game I don't yet own.
Mission accomplished!

Probably late here. I sat there and listened to each of the speeches and chose my GC based on what they actually said. I think a few stat differences on some stepping stone gear is less of a concern to me.

Well this is some good news that they are getting new servers. I know there was some confusion abou the original message because of minor issues occuring with JP servers over the weekend being mentioned in the release. My guess is that these servers won't be in till after Labor Day unless they get them in late this week. I wonder if they are actually buying servers or renting them...
It seems like it may be the case until they can add in those new servers.

Absolutely disgusted with SE over this double service account saga. They've been making people both fill out the form *and* contact customer support. What's the point of the detailed form then? And when people do queue (which by the way people have been doing for hours all day) they've had a popup telling them that their place in the queue is "cancelled". Then at another point they stopped us being able to actually get through to them via live support. And all of this because of them directly misleading us. The people who have actually managed to get through to them have been given the clear runaround. I don't even know what to say at this point.
This might be it. I'll have to test.
Nope, thought it was really weird. If the above is true, I would wonder why me casting a spell on the 2nd enemy isn't confirmation enough that I want to attack it, haha.

Bitching on official forums isn't really Japanese gamer style. Unofficial boards are a lot funnier.
There also hasn't been the same amounts of people trying to get in, leaving their characters idle, or concentrating in particular servers. They have, however, been having server issues as well. Conspiracy's done.
At the moment PUG/LNC/ARC are your DPS class and Archer even has a slight 'buffing' aspect with the Bard Job. Arcanist is the first pet class in this game.
Now having said that though there is still hope you will have more options in the future. The other classes are getting 2 jobs too, its not going to just be Arcanist that gets that and Yoshida has already said the second jobs will have new mechanics that when you change to them it might even change how old abilities fundamentally function (like how summon command changes depending on your job and switching of main stats). There will also be new classes with their own accompanying jobs in the future but Yoshida and company have been mum on how quickly we can expect to see them, he did say they are not currently planning them to be expansion content and hope to implement them with patches.
The Final Fantasy series has the beastmaster job so I expect sometime in the future it will become available, maybe on an existing class or a whole new one which might fill your hunter niche. Would be kinda cool to add it to MRD if they dont make a Viking or Beserker Job as their second one (Beserker seems the most appropriate considering their primary weapon plus its legit FF job that happens to fill the DPS niche WAR doesnt have at the moment). Hopefully Musketeer and maybe a Ronin class (And then have NIN and SAM split off from that!) are added and maybe one more mage class and then they just focus on getting everyone two jobs and hopefully the game will be in a good place. Yoshida mentioned his next class type he wants to add to the game is a 'scout' class like Thief or Rogue, trick mechanics and sneaky damage etc.

They're buying server farm space from Cogent. Their own data center is used for development and not for actually hosting as far as I know.

I'd probably say FATES are and while you're doing FATES queue up for dungeons
