Um, what? There was in 1.0, but that was long since abolished (even before the 1.x servers went down).
Someone in the FC hit 50 today, so if there is, it must be really high.

Darkness no more
I am not one to sit up all day trying to log in. I try once or twice then go do something else. I have been getting errors since the weekend and have not been able to play whenever I try to log in.
Does this game not have a queueing system? This launch seems incredibly amateur, especially for a second launch.

If I had 5 gil for every time I've tried to log in today, I'd be able to buy a house when they become available.
Just had a group give up on killing Titan after 40 minutes of wipes. I don't know if my connection is bad or something, but every 4th attempt I'd get knocked off the edge with his linear attack, even after moving immediately out of it as soon as I saw it. I was baffled.
There was someone faring even worse than me, and the other half of the group were not happy. There was constant bickering and bad feelings the whole time. orz

I hope a large portion so we will all be more able to get on in a couple days.
Thinking about this upcoming holiday weekend is making me laugh/cry simultaneously.
I'm at the same standstill. I managed to play this morning due to thankfully having free time, but that won't happen any other morning this week. It's really sad that there's not a working queue system. Oh well. Hopefully they will fix their queue system soon.
Where do I change gamepad targeting to only enemies? Driving me mad
There's 4 target filter presets you can access with L1+face buttons, and you can configure them somewhere in the options (I forget where, and I can't check because lol).
Sounds like the fatigue system of the original, but it seems that was abolished in favor of just straight up leveling each class/job. Given the approach currently is to treat reaching 50 as more like a tutorial it's probably for the best really, they may've been evening the playing field for people who reliably played from the start but not at the same amounts but it only hurts those coming in alte and wanting to reach their friends sooner than later.

Seriously? I could think of several different things happening in the world right now that would be considered tragic, server login errors wouldn't even come close.
Aaah there we go! Thank you haha. You'll get in soon enough... I somehow randomly got in XD!
I was thinking about resubbing to WoW or Rift to scratch the MMO itch. Then I looked at the games. ARR is so gorgeous.
I guess I'll end up playing FFXII in between fits of spamming 0.
Doing nothing but leveling I guess...or having a whole week off or something? I dunno either. Could've made a ton of progress during the last beta phase I suppose.

Bro, are you reading 1.0 reviews, because it sounds like you are.
Thanks.
Don't be such a killjoy. It's not meant to be taken literally.
There are no reviews on metacritic besides user reviews, unless you're looking at the original FF XIV. That's mostly an entirely different game now. There are plenty of bad 'user scores' on meta critic for arr, but all those are just slamming the messed up login issues.
This IS part of what made me interested in GW2 and is exactly why I'll probably come back to it eventually: game's fairly recent and has no subscription fees. And as a bonus it's recent enough to look nice, nicer in some ways just by not needing to worry about accomodating a now aged console.
Easy, I would assume it would be people who don't work/school/etc. They just eat, sleep, play FFXIV.

Wait, I could've held my key for 2 days? What the hell is going on?
It's a fun game when you can actually log on and play.

In the "Character Configuration" menu from the main menu you can go to the filter tab and change those options. The regular options just let you change what can be targeted when you either have your weapon sheathed or not.
However, I've enabled the "Target Cycling" options below that that utilize LB+[A,B,X,or Y] to set up four groups. The name seems misleading though. Let's say I have LB+A set to Enemies. That made me think if I'm out in the field if I hit LB+A it will cycle through all nearby enemies. However, this doesn't seem to actually cycle, it seems to just let quickly change to a set number of targeting filters - at least in my experience it doesn't "cycle" through targets anyway. I have LB+B set to "Enemies", LB+A set to "all", LB+Y set to "Friends", and LB+X set to a custom grouping that's just party members and non-player characters and items. I use the LB+X combo when I'm in cities and want to be able to target shopkeepers, aetheryte, etc. without having to scroll through a million PCs.
You have until the 29th to enter your key. You don't lose any free time. I have 33 days left on my account.
Played until lvl 26 so far and one thing I don't like about the game is how linear it all feels. The zone look nice, but the dungeons (5 so far) are all single path point A to B affairs. There's no dungeons (like Gnomeregan in vanilla WoW) that come even close to impressing me to this point. Also the zones has not much flavor to them and I suppose that's because of their smaller size and how the main quest keeps jumping around the zones instead really staying in one. The other thing I suppose is also because how convenient questing is, you just go to the point on the map, finish your business and just go. There isn't much exploration involved in that.

GRATS!
The real question is, will they extend the 30 day free sub after this server nonsense is said and done.
I checked my Mog Butt (or Mog Net) and it said 33 days of access, so I take it the EA was already tacked on to it to make up for the weekend.

It says I have 30 days. What about the time people are losing not being able to log in? I think I made a mistake buying this...

Out of all the negative feels that's going on in this thread, I'm the killjoy?

Leveling isn't especially hard, but I'm getting to the point now (26 PGL) where it's definately slowed down if you're only doing quests and the occasional fate that's nearby.
As usual though, there will be the ones that rush to 50 and then get mad that they have "nothing else to do", though the Armory system should make up for the content lack (if there is one) at high levels. I'm leveling at least three classes to 50 right away, not to mention when I stop being lazy (this weekend) and get to work with my crafting.
When you can get it the game is very fun. It doesn't have nearly the focus on group play as FFXI did. Some people dislike that, but for me, I never got into FFXI because it came out right when I was starting grad school at the time and there was no way I had time to spend hours looking for parties in that game, so I never really got far at all in that game.
In FFXIV v2 I feel engaged and can play alot of solo content - at least so far - if I want. The story beats happen fast enough in this setup as well to keep you interested if that's important to you (I like the story beats moreso than an endless traditional MMO grind, so that does it for me).
Slight joke based on your name i'd say.
Whoops.
Sorry! I deleted my original post. Hopefully my stupidity won't spread.
