pick up group ?

Using the duty finder instead of playing with people you know. It's like a pick up game in basketball when you play with whoever is in the gym instead of real, premade teams.

 

[fluffydelusions]

Blame the fools that leave their systems running and characters logged on while they go to work/school/uni etc etc.

I'd rather blame square for not implementing a proper queue system and AFK kick. If I do get in, I'll stay in as long as I can though I do log off at night.

 

[Rektash]

I can't log into the game this time of the day? Seriously? You'd think, things are a bit better a week after launch. Instead it is worse.

 

[inter]

Also, as a new tank in training, how should I deal with DPS who do their own thing? Had an ARC pulling whatever/whenever he wanted and it was getting a bit irritating when people weren't ready.

 

[BlazingDarkness]

Got 9000 and now can't get back in

Man that sunken temple is brutal. The golem there we ran out of time on it. Could not beat the damned thing. Also was having issues due to the archer doing way too much damage so couldnt pull the boss off of everyone.
Its interesting to see that the class that usually manages to piss off a target so much that it pulls away from the tank is the archer.
It seems that a good number of people dont pay attention to the little hate bars on the side in the party status window.

Found this on the sunken temple. Pretty good info

Sounds tough. Maybe I should do Brayflox some more and gear up before attempting Sunken. > >

After you've destroyed the soulstone once, the golem will ignore aggro from that point onwards. What class are you? I tanked him as a warrior and the aggro bar never changed from red. If you're warrior, make sure to use defiance (doubles enmity gains) and flash every couple of combos go keep hate up. Try using the heavy swing > skull sunder > butchers block combo too for some hefty aggro.

 

[inter]

I'm surprised you guys are having issues this early. I've had problems in the afternoons for sure, but in the morning I'm able to get right on.

 

[Baleoce]

Can't even log on at this time. What a joke.

 

[fluffydelusions]

now unable to update character list

 

[w2000]

Was in a haukke Manor party and the game hard froze on me at the first mini boss. :-( Now on the 1017 fight lol.

2002 lobby error now, my game keeps shutting down

I am so glad Rome 2 is coming out tomorrow. By the time I finish a campaign this SHOULD be fixed.

Was just able to get in. Queue of 21.

FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS TO SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE YOUR CHANCE OF LOGGING INTO THE SERVER ON PC.

ERROR 1017:

STEP 1: Download the program Auto-Keyboard.
http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Miscellaneous/Auto-Keyboard.shtml

STEP 2: When you download Auto-Keyboard. CLICK KEYSTROKE, A new menu will open up.



STEP 3: Put in these numbers above. Press NUMPAD 0 / DELAY 50 / Generate 10000000

STEP 4: Press the "start" button and set it up for F1 (should be automatic).

STEP 5: LOG INTO THE GAME, WHEN YOU GET TO THE CHARACTER SELECTION SCREEN, PRESS F1. (IT will automatically click Num 0 which significantly increases chance to get in).

STEP 6: Go have some coffee, and come back in 15 min.

WHAT THIS DOES NOT FIX
NA/JP ERRORS (If you get this, you have to stop the program by pressing F1) Then reopen client and do it again.
10102 (If you get this logging in, it will kick you out automatically).

WHAT THIS WILL FIX
Error 1017
Q Problem (It will bypass the Q system)
REMEMBER EVERY SINGLE TIME you USE the program, you have to go back into it and reset the NUM 0 (Meaning open it up, click Num 1 then Num 0 again, it will reset it).

Summary: Is this a 100% success rate?, No but it's about 95%, I have gotten in basically every single time within 15/30 min. Be patient.
If you see OTHER errors then 1017, this will NOT fix the problem.

PS - A ton of people on mumble are doing this trick now, And it's gaining huge steam, it's working extremely well, if you have ANY questions. LET ME KNOW.

ok this shit works LEGIT
this must be added to OP

I really think one huge problem was the archer was just spamming the hell out of their skills and didnt realize its pulling all the hate away. As was pretty much doing my usual dance which has worked on pretty much everything till that particular party.

Am running MRD / WAR currently. We wouldnt have run into issues if that didnt happen both times. At least the 2nd time it seemed a lot better, then as usual it went after the archer again and had trouble keeping it off once that started, with the archer constantly running circles spamming skills. Caused the healers to get hit by the AOEs too with the archer pulling the thing all over the place as it ran. :/

 

[Amon-Lau]

Dang, I remember how I used to easily log in at this time after work easily, not anymore it seems... xD;


On the bright side, it took me 20 minutes to get a queue...

 

[BlazingDarkness]

But doesn't that cancel itself out of a queue?

 

[Nibiru]

Great game but by far the worst mmo launch since the last version of this game. Of course the last version was just a terrible game but for so many this version can't even be played.

I should add that I have managed a good amount of playtime but many of my friends have not. I know they are increasing capacity but up until now this launch is on par with Simcity.

 

[fluffydelusions]

Anyone for ultimate weapon on ultros? Send me a tell "Fluffy Delusions"

 

[Apoptomon]

Unlocked the Warrior job today, suppose I should get gladiator up from the requisite fifteen for those cross class skills. Jobs are recommended for parties and classes are recommended for solo, do I have the right of it?
Question for MMO pro GAF: I have some trouble maintaining enmity sometimes in dungeons as MRD, any tips?
Oh, and is half int, half mind an accessible attribute spread for ACN? Sorry for so many questions, I'm not new to mmo, just perpetually noobish

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Auto-login scripts work best if you monitor them, when you hit the queue you cancel the script.

 

[RK9039]

I hope you've never once gotten up from your keyboard or alt-tabbed out of the game to do anything for any reason.

It's just a joke from the previous thread.

I personally don't alt+tab because I don't want my game to crash.

The gladiator skills flash and provoke will help a lot. And at level 30 you get defiance, with doubles enmity. It basically gets easier as you go on.

I've found warrior is probably easier to solo as warrior, not marauder. But you might feel different when you get there.

 

[Audioboxer]

Ultros backed up to fuck again.

 

[DimmuBurgerKing]

Been trying to log into my server (Balmung) since 7:30am EST.. world full. Wow. Don't you people have cookouts to get ready for?! ;P

It spams 0 too fast for me to even read if it's a queue or just the usual log-in error lol

 

[Torquill]

Fuck...really? This early? Looks like mountains of people are getting wise to staying logged in. This early, I don't expect many people to log out either. It wouldn't surprise me of we're fucked and can't get in for hours, if it all.

 

[T.O.P]

guess i'll use that "fix" while watching Breaking Bad later lol

 

[GrandHarrier]

So does healing ever get interesting or hard? So far I've been able to pretty much sleep through dungeons. I don't even get the impression there is a ton of strategy to it. But I could be wrong.

Educate me.

Usually for the past 6 hours (and for another hour or two) there's no errors or queues, it should be plain sailing to get in.
They really need to make this server update already :/

 

[inter]

It shouldn't. If you get in the queue, it kicks you back to the character select screen, rather than the title screen and then when you enter world again, it puts you back in your spot in the queue.

 

[potam]

Also, as a new tank in training, how should I deal with DPS who do their own thing? Had an ARC pulling whatever/whenever he wanted and it was getting a bit irritating when people weren't ready.

1. Tell them to stop pulling, focus on same target, etc.

2. Usually I try to manage it, and keep the group alive anyways. I'm used to dealing with DPS in WoW who want to pull, and usually it'll make the run faster than whining about it. Plus, there's no kick function yet.

3. If you wipe, just make sure to blame that guy.

 

[dramatis]

Educate me.

Starting from Brayflox's Longstop (Lvl 34?) onwards, dungeons get more interesting for healers. Watching for status effects, making sure adds don't mob you while the tank and dps are occupied, bosses having larger and tricky attacks/aoe.

Higher level fates though, not hard. Until you get to things like Odin and Behemoth, in which your chief role is not healing but raising.

 

[Baleoce]

Did I read somewhere that they are thinking of giving us another week of free time to make up for server congestion, or was I drunk? Anyone got a URL incase I was sober?

 

[CLBridges]

Just finished defeating

Spoiler

Ifrit

. That fight was pretty cool! We did wipe the first two times because not enough focus was put on clearing the

Inferno Nail

. Otherwise, once that was done the fight was a pretty straight-forward. I think I'll continue on progressing the story for a few hours since things seem to be picking up!

The fact that it's the day after Labor Day screams that it's their server service that won't do it till Tuesday. I'd be shopping for new service. You can't call weekends or holidays for shit this big and this business critical.

 

[Jarekx]

Well, I'm getting 1017 before the character select screen loads. lol

Just lost connection. So did my bro who's playing on PC, same server, Ultros.

Server upgrades?

Edit: now lost connection to lobby server. Error 2002.

What the heck kind of excuse is that? Only people that far in the story can see the name of that thing, so how does that make it any less of a spoiler? If the quest was called "Aeris Dies" it would still make that a spoiler. /boggle
