Tomorrow @ 8pm EST
I played for a bit during early launch, but have been busy this past week during the actual launch. I went to log in, and it said I don't have an account. I checked the forums, and it won't let me log in because I don't have an active character. Then I tried the https://secure.square-enix.com site...I see I have FFXIV on there, it says inactive...but I can't find any way to actually subscribe to the game? Am I crazy? What am I missing here?
Of the people willing to run the game all day, I think 51% are willing to download a program to be able to stay logged in. You don't? I mean leaving the game running while you sleep seems extream, but downloading a program, oh god no that's crazy talk.
Man, this is really turning into the worst online launch I have seen.
I haven't been able to play for 2 days straight, and that's from spamming my login for 1-2 hours multiple times a day. Prior to the weekend, I had pretty good luck if I spammed around the 30 min mark or the 50 min mark of each hour, but now it seems like even that doesn't work.
Have they even said what the new stuff they are adding to their datacenter is? I'm really hoping it's increasing the concurrent population per world and not just adding new worlds. Adding new worlds isn't going to fix anything, especially if they don't give free transfers.
Also, being almost a full week after launch and they still don't have an AFK kicker and a proper queue system is just sad.

So guys, what is the best time to try and log in to the game? It's 6.32p.m. here right now, and I can't even get the game to find the NA/EU servers, but I don't feel it's fun to close and restart the client every time to try and get over that one problem. Should I do like Saturday, and wait for tomorrow morning to even hope to get on?

Did you enter your actual game key? Because if you just entered your early access key that would have worked until the 29th, that's why.

You said a login bot. Meaning a bot to keep hitting 0 for you while you login. I'm calling bullshit on that, also on the fact that over 51% of the population would download a bot to stay not AFK.
Hrm, I got two different emails with two different Early Access codes, and nothing else. I assume this is a "call tech support" problem at this point, yes?
[edit] Oh, I was able to get the code through findmyorder.com, lets see if this works...
YEP! Phew. Now to not be able to log in due to no queues!
Not the whole population, just the population already leaving characters logged in (which I think is a small % of the pop.)
And I only mentioned the login bot because its not like you have to get a new Afk bot, there is already a relatively well known bot.
I have no idea how popular the login bot is.
I have a question concerning stat allocation for my Paladin. Strength will increase my blocking reduction and threat mitigation, while Vitality gives me more health. So far I have been increasing my Str/Vit in a 1:2 ratio respectively. I have heard that paladin has a lot less health than warrior but have more damage reduction. Should I continue wit the 1:2 Str:Vit ratio or go with 1:3 ratio?

They took away my start button.
I like how at the moment its popping up 1017 before even selecting a character or world, does away with pesky things like hope
I come home from work, ready to persevere my way into the game, only to met with the most annoying error message yet -- 'Unable to complete version check', popping up after double-clicking the desktop icon(!). I don't even get to the client anymore! Fucking great.
This thread shows others with the problem and it seems most have been able to fix it. Not me though. I've checked the router settings, I've made sure folder permissions are correct and I've replaced my boot folder with a working boot folder. Still nothing. I guess all I can do now is reinstall the whole damn thing.
It worked fine yesterday. My PC's been off all day. I come home and suddenly it doesn't work. I'm exasperated and confused and more than a little fed up. :[
EDIT: Oh, and sorry for the useless post. Allow me the vent.

They tried to do that to me earlier, but I fought the system and kept being persistent. Just keep restarting the launcher.
Got in eventually.
Same here. Then it says something about a lobby error, and closes the game. Wonderful.

I think the grayed out START option kinda says it all about this launch.

Has it been normal for it to be so difficult to get on at this time of day? I just finished work and was really looking forward to an evening of questing...

Thank goodness for tomorrow, I hope this takes care of the issues. Game is fun and beautiful.

Not necessarily, but today is also labor day so there's probably quite a bit more people attempting to login.
It's a long weekend in Canada/US
I'm not signed in right now, but I can't blame anyone who is. Don't blame players for trying to play a game they bought.
who would stay logged in all day if they could come and go as they please

I don't blame them. If I could log in again I'd do the same thing, especially since SE seems to not give four fucks.

So the first content patch is 3 months out? Anything known to be in it besides the small scale pvp stuff?

Failed a dungeon for the first time. Feels bad man.

Probably more story missions.
All the information I've found says "the difference between your highest level and the class you're leveling," but that's not very descriptive at all.

Made it through Copperbell this morning. No problems except for one pull where a bomb exploded (I think) and took eeeeverybody out except for me, since I was standing a ways back. Saw the bomb making a beeline for me and had a "holy shit what do I do" moment before I remembered how to fight (lol), at which point I furiously cure-tanked it until the rest of the party made it back to my location. Good thing it was the only mob left or I probably would've been screwed.
That made me feel good, haha. I need to start shopping around for a guild, though; this PUG stuff is not gonna cut it if the dungeons get harder from here on.

Fucking typical. while I wait for a dungeon on a DPS I want to play some other console so I take out my headphones from my PC to plug into my TV, I get a spot, put them back into my PC and I don't get sound from FFXIV. Why does this shit fucking happen. Not just with FFXIV but other things? Can't it detect that the exact same pair of headphoens are in the exact same hole and still need the sound from the exact same programs running!?
Only way to get sound back is to relaunch the program whch means an hour + in the queues again. Fucking piece of shit windows PC.

FC Housing, crystal tower, hi-level dungeons, more primal hard-fights and probably one new primal.

So like what's the story with this castle and why the hell does it look like that? Do I get an explanation eventually?
Darn this game is so pretty.

but i don't sleep over the weekends
but your health.
When I leveled THM, I noticed a straight up +50% boost to my exp. I already have several classes at 50 so I assumed it was armoury bonus. Hope that helps a bit.
That's the lighthouse, I believe. It just got a crystal smashed into it during the Calamity.

Do they ever explain shit like, why it's called "Scions of the Seventh Dawn"? Or is it just typical Final Fantasy lore not making sense stuff?
aramanKain

Ok, I'm done - can't even get my login macro to go now since the NA/EU server list won't populate, and even before that I am getting 2002 lobby errors all the time. This is vanilla WOW all over again.

If you already have a PC service then yes. If you play on PS3 only then I think you need a copy of the PC game for it to let you login... Not really sure though.
So...this is hardly conclusive, but I turned on the FPS limiter again, and I was able to go through Haukke Manor without crashing. I never had these crashes in beta or the first couple of days of release, and I didn't turn off the limiter until some time after release, though I don't remember exactly when.
It's probably coincidental, but who knows.

Well its the dawn of the seventh age and they're the successors of One of the guys involved in ushering it in
They're trying to lead the world out of the Seventh Umbral Era into another Astral Era. Since the world started in an Astral Era, the seventh dawn would be the start of the Eighth.
...I think.

You need to buy a PC version and register it to your account to play on PC.
The Seventh Dawn refers to the Seventh Umbra era that FFXIV ARR 2.0 starts in. The Sixth Umbra was during FFXIV 1.0, the released of Bahamut herald the Seventh Umbra.
