Same boat. They are the ones which will contact us, correct? They're not really clear on what needs to be done after you get your ticket # and confirmation email. Just that the process could take up to two weeks.

Seems to me like you missed some stuff, because I don't do fate or leve grinding and I didn't have issues with quests until 45.
Well that would be an AOE attack wouldn't it? I assume you aim it and then click/press X.

For casters, once you activate LB, a target marker appears that you have to manually move by moving your character, and confirm again once it's in the target.
As for why you don't see more lancers in DF parties, longe range DPS avoids worrying about aoe attacks and means less healing overall, so it's an easier option. Also, archers do good damage earlier on, and arcanist having been only recently unlocked means a lot of those, plus thaumaturges and conjurers leveling for summoner and scholar.

Is there a website that shows the locations of the GC hunting logs?
Edit: actually nvm it tells you what location inside the zone they're in...no need for a guide

I heard that Titan was challenging and many people wiped a lot... i went there with expectantions as PLD but we defeated him with no trouble, hell it was even easier than Ifrit for me, how disgusting!

Yea so wake up, time to try to get on finally, and lobby issues keep kicking me out. Fuck this game
So the Lobby area is broken? I had some issue with the Lobby not populating at all last night, but was able to get back in after reopening the client.
People keep saying this, but I've checked everywhere, there are no quests above 30 I can do.
Clearly I've done something wrong though.
Titan's an easy fight if you know some fairly standard endgame MMO tactics. But if you don't and someone gets knocked off the arena, it can end poorly.

How do you change the barding on your Legacy Chocobo? I select the chocobo icon in my character screen, but all that comes up is my GC Chocobo. Can you only use special armor on the GC Chcoobo?

I figured out that some monsters only show up at a specific time of the day, so I think they will actually be in the area indicated, just not right away.

They're coming back up from being borked, which is why. There is a flood of people trying to get back in at the moment.

People weren't kidding when they said getting the chocobo was fast doing fates.
I farmed fates over at Eastern Thanlan - Wellwick Wood for maybe an hour and got just over 2k. Also, made the mistake of teleporting everywhere now i am broke but luckily running to airships and stuff isn't as tedious with the mount. I should be able to hit my maurader to 15 to become a dragoon later today. IS there anything special i need to do once i hit 15 and get my lancer to 30? Do i need to go somewhere for a quest line?

The maximum server capacity for characters is much higher than that. 5000 is only the amount of maximum concurrent users online that the server was configured to handle. Considering that only about 50% of GAF is logged in at any given time, it's more like 2-2.5%.
Right now, all NA servers have character creation and login restrictions but some of the more populated servers will be more difficult to play on than others. In the long run, the community will be much healthier on the more populated servers. If you're really frustrated and not having any luck, It might be a good idea to roll on one of the newer servers and then transfer later.
...but I thought all the communities were rolling on Gilgamesh? I remember when people were pleading with us to go there instead. We were on Ultros from the beginning of the beta. It's not our fault everyone decided to throw their chips in with us on Ultros. As stated above, it will be much better for us in the long run. All the man babies crying right now will be fine in a few weeks or will have moved on to another game.
As mentioned before, it's less than 5%. The large majority are NeoGAF account holders (70-80%) and their family and friends (15-20%).
The Free Company is full but you can send a /tell to one of our leaders for a Linkshell invite. We will be gradually moving players from the Linkshell to the Free Company as space becomes available so that's the fastest way to get into the FC. We are currently prioritizing users based on GAF account and date of application submission. If you haven't registered and submitted an application, please do so at neogaf.guildwork.com.

you can't change it on your legacy chocobo. Only GC chocobo.
I was puzzled why my behemoth barding wasn't showing up until I realized this.
Yea I understand but this week I have tried to log in about 10 times when I have time and have yet to get back in since last Sunday.
Just getting old.. yet I understand it is launch week of an MMO.

The launcher is trying to tell me I haven't registered a serial yet. When I put in my early access serial it just tells me the code has already been used.
Has this happened to anyone else? I've been pretty patient with this game, but now I'm starting to get a little angry.

Japan servers get hammered, people gotta remember it's not just Japan, but all of South East Asia/Oceanic playing on these ones too.
Sucks because I've been trying to get on Tonberry or Tiamat for a while now.
Where did you buy it from? I had to go back to Amazon and get the actual Key they gave me once the game launched.
Managed a run through Copperbell last night. While the we performed messily on the miniboss, the last boss of the dungeon wasn't bad at all.
Even though I am an ACN, I always seem to play the healer role. Guess I should make sure I have Resurrect or Raise for my next dungeon run.

early access is over. You need to put in the serial code from your purchased copy of the game now.

Try to log in at these time stamps:
:00
:30
:50
I've had success trying to log in around those time stamps, and usually just spamming 0 on my numpad for 10 mins gets me in every time.
Does anyone have any suggestions for changing the keymapping on the keyboard for better access to actions on the hotbar? The contortions I have to do hit Ctl+ and Alt+ combos are unwieldy in hectic scenarios, and I've more than once accidentally hit the Windows key by accident and minimized the game in the middle of a dungeon boss battle.
I also don't have a keyboard with a numpad on it (tenkeyless) so that's causing issues I suppose. I'm thinking of moving all the hotbar keys to the bottom letter row and changing the modifiers to ctl and shift (if it will let me use shift).
Or I just invest in a MMO mouse like the Logitech G600 and move the mappings to that, or a nostromo or an orbweaver or something.

The early access code was only for the early access period. You should have received a product key from your retailer or you will need to use the one inside the box/case of your physical copy. You will need to register this product key (which will add the free trial period to your account) to continue playing.

You filled out the form with the terms you have to accept, correct?
If so, hold onto your ticket number and call their support line to escalate the ticket. I called 2 days ago and it was resolved later that night. However, be warned that there is a long hold time! Took 2 hours and 15 mins before I got a CSR.

I just got it from the Square Enix site, digital download. I'll dig around.
I know tank and dps get scared that the healer isn't performing, but it would be nice to be trusted until healer MP falls below half and the whole party is half dead.
Yep. Can't seem to bring up the server lobby.

Thanks, that DB ended up having some pretty accurate locations. Even the in-game locations of the GC hunting log were wrong, for instance, I chose the Twin Adder GC and the hunting log tells me they're supposed to be at the Sandgate but they're actually east of that at another location entirely.

I'm a going to be buying that Logitech G600 myself because I'm having the same issues. The 12 hotkeys on the side of the G600 is looking like a godsend.
Best Buy has it for $59.99 right now.

So I started making my own parties as a healer ACN - wow, went really well. From Lv16 to 23 in a few hours.
Hey, I have a question about SCH - once I unlock it, do I get to allocate stat points or does it carry over from what I've allocated for my ACN (all points in MND)?

Finished Titan on the first try last night. I was tanking and it was actually pretty straight forward but things got a little hectic toward the end when our Summoner got knocked off the platform with about 25% of Titan's HP left. It was taking so long to finish him off that the WHM ran out MP and I had to start spam casting cure until our Dragoon could finish him off. I died just before the final blow but we made it!
The story after Titan is where things really start to get interesting. This is definitely the best Final Fantasy in the last decade and the game that I had really hoped for after FFXI. I can't wait to continue the main scenario.

I have Aetherflow, also, so I can quickly recover MP within minutes. Plus Ether cooldown isn't that long.
Edit: The only deaths came from mistimed bomb explosions.
I would highly recommend it. I bought it initially for GW2, but it works perfectly for this game. I don't see how I would play this game without it. It really takes no time to learn where to press the buttons.
I feel your pain.
Sucks that we have to resort to tactics like staying logged in indefinately, rapid fire controllers, macros, and rubber band contraptions just to stay or make in a server.
Took me 30 min to make a set up this morning so I'll be able to play when I get home from work.

Is there a program you have to use to set the hotkeys for ARR, or can you do that in-game and it'll be recognized right away?

I just recently bought two of these to replace a pair of Naga Epics. The "Num - 123" switch stopped functioning on one of the Epics and it's currently out of warranty. Rather than roll the dice on another Razer product, I decided to go with the G600. I'm a little concerned about the third mouse button and the wider grip. It also seems like the shape and grooves on the number buttons on the side will make it slower to slide between them. On the plus side, it seems much easier to tell exactly what button your thumb is on. I hope I'll be able to get used to it.
It has been... doesn't seem that way, but it is. Thankfully, many of XII's staff worked on XIV so we can see where the resemblance lies.
Thanks for the tip, looks like I'll be putting that money towards a mouse instead of further paying off my PS4 pre-order!
I only wish they had a wireless version. I guess I'll have to keep my current wireless mouse attached and handy for couch use (or get that wireless logitech keyboard with the integrated touchpad everyone seems to be buying - probably just see if my folks will give it to me for christmas this year, haha).
My thoughts exactly, having a lot of fun with FF XIV, I haven't expierenced the FF XI mythos, so this feels kinda fresh and everything.
Yep. There's a program where you can map each individual button to a key. For me, I just went with 0 through =, which is what the game and mouse software defaults to. So I didn't have to do anything.
There is a third mouse click button on the far right where people seem to be mistakenly pressing it. I personally do not have this problem..it really depends on how you hold your mice. I set that button to hit Ctrl, and in combination with the side buttons, pressing them together makes it so I have access to another row of skills. Really nice feature.
