Is the Duty finder borken? I tried to complete the "It's Probably Pirates" Quest and it requires me to form a party at the Duty Finder and I sat there for 45 minutes and it never progressed beyond just me? Am I supposed to go around and form a party before I go there?
I am on Ultros, can anyone from GAF help me? I would like to join the Gaf Free Company as well, I registered myself on the GAF members doc on the first page. I really need to hire a reatiner and this "It's Probably Pirates" quest is holding me back
Took me about an hour for mine to pop as an archer last night. Sat at 1/4 the entire time until suddenly I got my invite. Worked on leveling up my conjurer while I waited.

What class are you playing as?
Seriously though it's far too soon to say this. To give an honest opinion about MMO you have to play it for 2-3 months to see how good and how long the content lasts, the quality and quantity of the updates/patches and overall gameflow not to mention bugs etc.

What is the deal with skill chains? I'll go through what seems like the same rotations, and maybe half of the time I get "3 Chains" when I kill something. I can't find any info about what an Archer's skill rotation is to get those chains. I found a good youtube vid about Archer rotations for mobs/single enemies/AOE, but no mention of chains.
I've had some luck getting in so far, avoiding most of the login issues. I hope that continues, though I won't be logging in until way late tonight and tomorrow night. Friday is the next big test.

I've read that wait times for non-tanks/healers ranges from 30 to 60 minutes via Duty Finder =x

Depending on your class, it'll probably queue you. Your best best is as a healer.
I waited 55 minutes or so before it popped up for me with a full party, but then I was an archer, and I suspect those are in ample supply. Just let it work and eventually it'll pop in. It'll probably always prioritise matching people who got there before you, so treat it as if you're waiting your turn. You can go and do anything whilst you wait, and the instance will teleport you to the dungeon itself.
I did this mission only last night, and it was fun as heck.

I think those are the exp chains for killing mobs of equal level or above. You get a timer under your exp bar after killing one, if you kill another before the timer runs out, you get a chain.

sweet got 4 messages in the mail which is all my CE items
You are probably confusing kill chains with skill chains. If you kill mobs in a quick succession you get a "CHAIN #X" popup on your screen and an growing exp bonus.
Archers do not have skill chains.
How did you enter you code to get all of your items?

This is normally only a problem if you're a DPS class. My wait times have been so long for Duty Finder that I have just started doing the dungeons and trials with all DPS or 3 DPS, 1 Tank. It works well since I have a small heal, and most other people my level do as well.
So just give forming a random party around the dungeon area a try, you might be surprised how fast you can get it done.
Thanx! My Class is Archer as well, I'm lv 17 and I played most of yesterday as a Botanist and got that to lv 16, Once I have that complete I want to construct items as a Carpenter... hence why I need the retainer, I want to create High-quality items
That was another question I wanted to ask... if I could do something while I'm in the que? Do I have to stay in the same area or could I take the airship back to Grindia? I'm starting to get a little low on gil
What's the best way to make gil besides selling created items since I don't have a retainer.
This needs to be repeated several times and placed at the top of the OP.

Richard Bartle claims that it comes from the baby-crib mobile:
Wikipedia said:
Whichever the origin is, it's a terrible piece of vocabulary that misleads newcomers to the genre.
hmm close enough, the camps should have a few quest chains around the same level range, thanks!
Haven't been able to play my main guy on Ultros for 2 days now, so today I am trying to leave him logged in before I go to work so maybe just maybe it won't kick him and I can actually play when I get home. I hate to do that but I am tired of spamming log in for hours with out ever getting to play.
Anyone can help answer this?

@spandexmonkey, desverger: thanks, I'm still figuring the game out.
FATEs are actually pretty entertaining, how everyone in an area converges on a spot and just goes ham.

You can do anything and go anywhere, but you have to manually change back to the class you registered the duty with to get in.That was another question I wanted to ask... if I could do something while I'm in the que?

I usually register as a THM, change to Weaver and start crafting until the queue decides to be nice to me.
They do get a little better as you level, with named mobs especially requiring some coordination and a tank/healer.

The number of people who tried to connect has to be a lot higher because of the severe restrictions they have placed on server logins.
Squenix has a winner here, probably the first really good FF title since the PS2 era. Now they just need to get the infrastructure in place to support all the people who want to play it.
Things end up getting a bit twitchy at higher levels where people rush across huge zones trying to make it to a FATE with enough time to get credit. The XP is good and it keeps you busy, but if you slow down then you'll end up missing out on some good XP.

This is only half-correct -- Amazon and other Digital outlets pretty much stopped selling GW2 immediately after that announcement, and you couldn't buy it digitally on Amazon for -weeks- afterward.
I know because I had to go into a Walmart of all places to get my copy (as my local GameStop and Best Buy were sold out and weren't expecting copies for a week). Sucks because I overpaid by 10 bucks for it, and then I ended up hating the game -_-;
(GW2 was a bit..more on the ball with it though. But you can't exactly halt sales of your game BEFORE it officially starts. That just looks bad.)
Thanx! Looks like I'd be Fate farming in that area while I wait, I find it strange that they limit you to 3 Leve's per 12 hours? I enjoy doing those quests

PC CE edition of ARR finally arrived, and I'm pretty fucking pissed. Everything was surprisingly intact and undamaged for being Digital River, but I hadn't realized that I couldn't attached the PC CE to my existing 1.0 Legacy account. I have no intention of playing the PS3 version but wanted the physical extras, so I purchased the PC CE, operating under the assumption that I could use it to upgrade my existing account, just like how EVERY OTHER GAME IN EXISTENCE OPERATES, INCLUDING FF11. In retrospect, I should've known better than to expect something more than completely arbitrary horseshit from Square-Enix.
I sent a support ticket, I seriously hope they fix this problem quickly.

Aww, I was busy minding my own business, doing quests when I was suddenly kicked off the game with the dreaded 90k error. Now when I try to get back in, my character isn't showing up, but I can still select my name. I try to log in and I'm hit with the 1016 error (World data couldn't be obtained). Sucks.

I did the same damn thing. So bitter about this. PM me with what they reply, if you don't mind (this thread moves too fast).

Was REALLY REALLY hoping that they would have some better solution before this weekend. Wanted to play a lot of XIV this 3 day weekend!
Yeah. It seems like people will probably have trouble logging in for the rest of the week, and the fix don't guarantee to work when they finished implementing it.
I wonder if they're going to offer current customers an extra free month.

Will do, likewise on your end if you don't mind.
Just a heads up. If the game tells you to use duty finder to do a dungeon you don't really have to. Just form a party with dudes standing outside the dungeon and then when you click on the glowing thingy at the entrance (if you're the party leader) it will pop up the duty finder and you can start it up immediately.
Because fuck waiting for an hour when you can find dudes in 5 minutes.

For ps3 I just entered the registraion code in the PS Store then when you login you get the user agreement rundown again and then it will show up in your moogle mail.
I think I realize now that we don't a NPC to talk to for trophies cause you can still get them even if it's not your first i.e. the trophy for completing you first quest you'll get when you complete your next quest after the trophy install.
I don't know if this is a problem yet, but I had originally pre-ordered the Final Fantasy XIV: ARR CE and it didn't come with pre-order code... so a few days before the Early Access I went back to Gamestop and they gave me the EA code, I entered it, and played this past weekend. When I went to pick-up the FFXIV:ARR CE yesterday the clerk told me it was the regulat edition, but they had 1 CE for sale. What really happened is that the Gamestop guy cancelled my old pre-order and then gave me the regular edition pre-order so I could get the EA code.
So on my Square-Enix account I have both the Regular edition & CE Edition registered, I received all 6 items ( 2 EA + 4 CE ) and I can play with no problem, is there anything I should be wary of? Also how do you purchase a subscription? Can I do this through the PSN Store? I have not been prompted to buy a subscription yet?
