Maintenance has started, eh? Anyone else think it won't help at all, not even a little?

This isnt a normal maintenance. They're adding servers, changing up the way duty finder works (which apparently what was causing the log in issues), among other things.

Yeah we might have an extended emergency maintenance afterwards, but this should solve the vast majority of log in issues.
 
DAT 1-2 Combo Punch!

Remember guys, the 'log in issues' we had weren't the servers crapping out, it was a deliberate throttle put on by SE to stop the duty finder stuff breaking because of too much congestion. If they've altered how the duty finder stuff works, then they'll remove the log-in throttle we've all been suffering with (1017 error)
 
I guess I should fill out my progress report.

MNK 30, SMN 30, LNC 22, THM 15, MRD 14, CNJ 8.

Yes, I used jobs for my Pugilist and Arcanist.

Also, LTW 16, BSM 16, MIN 19.

Still crazy seeing people at max level so soon after release, ut early beta and early access helped. I'm playing with friends though, and we're not really in a hurry.

What the heck, I only have LNC leveled to 25 and Carpenter up to 13. I still need to start on leveling MRD.
 
Maintenance has started, eh? Anyone else think it won't help at all, not even a little?

I keep seeing this posted. I would hope it does. I have been really patient with these issues since they told us what was going on, when they were going to fix it, offered free time as compensation and were pretty open about the hows and the why but that patience will wane if the hardware upgrades dont fix the issue.

People seem to forget what the original issue was. Originally there were very few login issues. The issue was that the instance server couldn't handle the requests so people would not be able to complete any instanced story mission or DF groups because it would time out. As a band aid solution they started limiting logins which snowballed into a log jam because people afk. The maintenance they are doing now should fix the instance server problems thus allowing them to lift the login restrictions. Hopefully it gets fixed.
 
Hoping it helps a lot but I don't expect perfection. Just let me be able to log on whenever I want and not spam the A button at the login screen for hours until it sticks.
Being able to log in whenever w/o spamming? I don't think that'll happen, at least not for a little while more.


The cynic in me thinks that this maintenance will do little more than allow them to start up sales again by having new servers. People on existing servers will be boned until a transfer process in in place.
I expect all of the people going into those new servers to be bombarded with 1017s :p

They seem really confident considering they started selling the digital version again.

We'll see I guess. I fully expect the worst, I'd like to be pleasantly surprised but... no hope allowed!
 
How did you go down in levels in the first class with the two swords?

My main is 50BLM, I took the SC a few days ago for it, when my GLD was @24
Now my GLD/PLD is @35 from leveling, it looks weird

BLM is past, PLD is present
 
There is aliasing in the PS3 version for sure, but it shows up mostly as a bit of shimmering in the grass fields. Honestly after about an hour with the game I didn't notice it at all. I'm sure it pales to the PC version, but if PC isn't an option for some reason the PS3 version is a viable option. Unless you want to wait for the PS4 version next year.
 
Well, in my case, it's still the dual service account thing. Yet another day trying to get through live chat and nothing.

It's 8 days now since I first submitted the ticket saying I created the wrong service account; Thursday, Friday and now today all day trying to get through live chat. Still only errors to bring home.

I fear mainetance will end and this still won't be fixed to me. Every day I care less.

Me too. Been trying to fix it since day 1. They actually sent me an email saying they closed my support ticket without fixing it and if my problem still exists (clearly it does) to submit a new one. I've never heard of anything so ridiculous....
 
I'm really hoping that this improves the condition of servers, but we won't know until we try I guess.

It sounds as though everything should work but this isn't the first time that we got a supposed "fix". It's kind of made me pessimistic, and I'm a pretty positive person.

That being said, I'm leaning more on the "Yes" side of things, but will go with "Maybe" for now.
 
I did some more Brayflox runs today (still haven't seen the battlemage gloves drop once). 2 runs were fantastic, but one was a bit shaky and we ended up wiping 4 times on the last boss for one reason or another (though thanks to the GAF Bard in the party, I was able to just spam cure 2 the tank at certain points, that MP regen song is awesome), and made me notice some really weird behaviors.
For example, for the first engage of the dragon, I had casted Stoneskin on the whole party (prior to starting the fight), the tank engaged, I didn't cast anything at all, and the boss simply turned on me. I noticed this type of behavior from mobs when I drop a regen on people: they will start a fight, and their mob will come and attack me, which makes some sort of sense for a HoT, but just because the target has a stoneskin on?

Another weird thing is that dot damage doesn't break sleep if the dot was on the mob before sleep was cast. Everyone and their mothers knows this by now probably, but I find it weird and I question if it is intended or simply an exploitable bug.
 
Well, I just hit 45 before I logged off, so I can go get my AF now.

Is that part of the main story? I'm 41 and am wondering if I should just FATE grind to get to 45 for that gear or try to get gear from the dungeons between 40-45.
 
Pugilist 20
Thaumaturge 20
Gladiator 20
Miner 20
Goldsmith 20
Alchemist 17
Weaver 15

Yeahhhh... lol
I was waiting for the server issues to subside so I can do the dungeons with DMPrince, because it's pretty hard to co-ordinate when either one of us can't get on. So I mainly bummed around Ul'dah and tried all these classes, will no doubt get ALC and WVR to 20 before even leaving the city, eek. Having lots of fun though! Ul'dah definitely feels like home.

O_O

Slay a bit with all those lvl 20's. what did you do to level them so quick?

Also which one is your main/fave?
 
Did they remove the ability to 0 through the login menus? Both my gf and I find pressing 0 no longer did anything in the menus, lol.

Silly question, how do you take screenshots? I searched for the keybinding but must have overlooked it hundreds of times.

Can't wait for 1017 tomorrow morning :(

Last progress was ACN 24, THM 19, ARC 18, CNJ 8, and a bunch of random for crafting.

If not for the stupid Chimera group I was in I'd already be halfway to my relic ;(

Should I start to level Arcanist after I reach level 30 as a Conjurer to get White Mage or should I get to a higher level first?

There's immediate benefits to being a WHM and the only downside is the loss of cross-class abilities that you probably weren't using much anyway. I went for it and I'd recommend the same.
 
Lol. Just checked the Lodestone and it shows my Title as Being Serpantlady (Should be Serpantlord). Don't know why as I race changed from a male lala to male miqo'te.
 
Is that part of the main story? I'm 41 and am wondering if I should just FATE grind to get to 45 for that gear or try to get gear from the dungeons between 40-45.

They are part of the job quests (lvl 45 for the first 4 pieces and lvl 50 for the body part).

You should just do FATE to 45 if you have bad luck by the time you get those dunegon armors you will be ready for the AF.
