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.

Hmm. Okay. Sounds good. I got to about 20 as a Conjurer before dabbling in Arcanist and Gladiator for the useful cross class skills. I'm committed to healing but was curious what it was like at later levels.

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

They have a big ass picture of it in the CE art book too, wish I hadn't seen it lol
 
Wish the EU servers were not located physically with the US servers. EU servers are pretty much problem free until the traffic on the US servers bring them all down.
 
Looks like the thing that lists the worlds is down. My plan to log in early in the morning did not work :P
 
so in coerthas you hear that menacing music track playing when you enter it the first time. the area seems oppressive. there must be dangers lurking about behind every rock and tree. then you notice a stampede of chocobos and coerls jumping on a defenseless piece of shit.

that's where the game is at its lowest point currently.
 
I just finished a fishing quest and got a broken rod that says I need a carpenter to repair it. Where can I find a carpenter, or is that purely for other human players?
 
The more connection problems I hear, the more I'm tempted just to blow off the game completely until next month. :p
 
Think I'm just going to wait until tomorow.
Can't be bothered spamming 0 all day, especially considering the congestion's only going to get worse through the day.
 
Decided to download 2.0 since it was free since I played 1.0 and it's a long weekend. Figured I would get to play it a little and I have a couple of friends waiting for impressions. So far the character creation screen is nice. :|

I should of taken advantage of the beta :(

Of course it won't help. Your still going to have same everyone rushing onto these low capacity servers, and without adding a proper queue system to the game... yea nothing will change.
Click to expand...

But the capacity should start getting raised after the maintenance, in theory....
 
1017's when I haven't even gotten as far as choosing a World? WTF?

I've been a fairly large defender/apologist up to this point, but even my patience is starting to wear thin...

Where did they say they are adding more capacity to the servers? All I've seen is they are improving the duty servers and adding more servers, but not increasing an individual servers capacity of players. It ain't going to change anything since most people are not going to abandon their characters and you can't transfer characters off. Everyone spamming the servers to log in are going to be doing he same thing post maintenance. They aren't going to start over on new servers. And without adding a real queue system into the game, it's going to be the same 1017 1017 1017 1017 1017 for quite some time.
 
Is it worth redeeming my key now and potentially wasting a couple of days of sub or should I wait and see how this extended maintenance works out?
 
This is the worst day since I started playing the game, I guess my luck run out.

2002, 1017 eternal loop, since my 90k yesterday I couldn't play.

Of course the more people creates a character in the server the less slots avaliable in each time zone and more AFKers to the club.

I doubt that maintenance is gonna do that much.

Doesn't sound like much will be done to help existing payers except maybe stop people getting booted from duty finders. There is nothing there about increasing general server load, which is the main problem now. Sounds like they're getting new servers going ASAP so they can start up digital sales again.
 
Is there something specific about Aiatar that makes tanks think they can tank his breath attack? Second run on Brayflox's Longstop killed by awful tanking.

Place reminds me of Skyrim but actually good.

Lag is really bad on that attack. You can be in it and not get hit or clearly out and get hit.
Best thing to do is just run as far away as you can get from it.
 
So, was that a reference to a certain game in one of the cutscenes before you get the fly with the
airship?

"Mad Snake? Mad Snaaaaaaaake!!?!!"

And the linkshells are the codecs, hahaha, amazing!

it charges up fast, so if the tank is a lil slow or suffers from lag he will get hit. still, i think you should win even if the tank gets hit many times.

the structure is great. the player direction is terrible.

Is anyone's start button greyed out? SE doesn't want me to play!

A reboot of the client usually fixes it and other server list refreshing problems.

I had to reboot an hour or two ago and didn't get any queues, but had to relaunch the launcher a few times to get it to load.

The window to evade the attack is pretty small.

If you react late for whatever reason you gonna get hit.

Point. It was hard to see if he was trying or not.

I think I'm more mad at the collision detection between Aiatar and the acid pools than the 90000 errors.

Well you have to remember that the original problem on the first day of early access was instance servers and duty finder being overburdened. There weren't login issues and the world itself seemed to manage the load fine on that first day.

It wasn't until day 2 when Square began actively limiting logins in order to keep the instance servers stable.

Adding more servers for duty finder and splitting worlds into battle groups like WoW should theoretically allow them to raise the cap again on each world.

They still need an AFK kick and an actual queue system in place though. I get the feeling Tuesday's maintenance isn't going to help Ultros, unless they open up free world transfers to the new servers.
 
So psyched that Rome 2 is coming out tomorrow! At which point I could not give two shits about logging into this cluster-fuck of a game. How did they manage to make questing even more dull and boring than WoW.
The story missions for the most part are pretty cool, but other than that, the quests are really terrible; completely uninspiring. Fates are pretty bad as well.
