that queue is always fake btw. whenever i get that, it's going in in about 1 min.
Yeah, we did the same. Wasn't affecting whole group/server yet but was messing with us too much. Not worth the hassle.
I'm surprised there are so many people joining all of a sudden. I guess the PS4 beta has been going well?
Couple of newbie questions:
I googled spiritbind and read up on that. I know items can eventually be turned into materia. Is materia the rough equivalent of WOW's gem socketing?
Also, are there any requirements to getting into the GAF company on Ultros? Or should I just submit an application?

That's why so many (especially Europeans) are really pissed at Sqenix. It's OBVIOUSLY on their end and we have to pay in order to do special encounters. I could NOT do Titan without WTFast or Battleping.
And on top, you have the elite wannabes who claim lag issues are an excuse if you can't play..
I'd love to have 150 ms ping to the servers, but I play just fine which is why I have doubts about how big of a factor those services are for the players in here.
Which one would you recommend? I live in South America so reducing lag is always welcome (currenly using the Leatrix latency fix).
More than minor. When I initially was doing Titan HM all those months ago I could be half a plume outside of a plume and still be hit, but after I tried Battleping I could dodge them comfortably. its still tough in EX but I can manage it.
I don't disagree at all but it doesn't change the reality of it. I don't mind the extra little bit a month because of how much enjoyment I get from the game and my disposable income.
I don't. I was dead before, not anymore. Even now when I forget to start BP before I open the game I get hit by repelling cannons and everything else when with it I can comfortably dodge. Its not a placebo. That said, I am Australian, so my long would be appreciably bad.

Even better, last night I was in a Coil group of nothing but Hyur. Mainly midlanders but some highlanders too!

Finally got my Paladin Allagan weapon tonight.
Also bonus War pic

I got carried through my first relic with Titan being the only section I was dead most of the fight (Ruru and Iffy, not an issue outside of some hiccups on Ruru and very rare hiccups after nail for Iffy). Now I am confident that I only need to worry about/learn the Bombs post-heart to comfortably beat Titan without dying. One time, I didn't even notice the plumes were up but was able to dodge the one aimed at me quickly once I realized compared to before where I would have been hit if I didn't notice it straight away.
And yeah, I've seen a few of those 'elitists', they exist because they don't have these issues. Having had these issues myself for too long, I will always defend someone if they say they have these lag issues because I have seen them myself.
Us too... damn. A bunch of people on Twitter mentioned they were getting 90Ks in other parts of Coil too.
Registered on the guild site (Xha Amariyo). Currently levelling as gladiator, although I fully intend to max all classes/jobs. 
Installed to PC last night and was pleasantly surprised how easy it was to get the DS3 working now (last time I tried it was painful), so I'm playing this with the same settings on PC as PS3. Same resolution as well, although it's annoying that the HUD is a better resolution on the PC to the PS3 (not to mention the irritating pixels lost on the PS3 version).
Also, as I level on one version for some reason it didn't auto-populate the cross hotbar on the other. Is that expected?

This launch all over again! Well, at least we could login alright, so there's that.
Here's hoping that SE fixes these issues quickly. I need
Is 90K'ing FF slang for lag? I'm lost here.
EDIT: UK PS3/PS4 folk, the official PS3 keyboard (works on PS4) is less than £15 here.
Hopefully those people will understand it's a beta. I'm surprised at how much I'm enjoying the PS3 version, I really can't wait for it on PS4.

It's shorthand for a specific error number that usually happens when you're lagging out or disconnected. Was pretty common early on in the game's life.

90k is an error that always disconnects you from the game.
EDIT: Once again having issues with PF idiots and their stupid parser talk. One wipe to EX Titan and already someone whining about dps. Seems like everyone is armed with one and will let you know it after a wipe or two. I feel like just leaving the party once that talk starts up.
And in adventures with Garuda, I feel like hiding my red head in the ground after being the main cause of multiple wipes in a GAF group. First it was getting the spiny killed because my pet kept attacking it even though I kept trying to direct its attention to whatever sister I was attacking. Then got the group destroyed because I wasn't watching stacks (I've never had that spiny go after me as SMN) because the spiny kept making a beeline for me when it appeared and refusing to go anywhere else, causing most of the group to eat a Super Cyclone to the face...=/
I suppose I should watch a video of those fights again or something. Might consider just going back to healing full time.

Hmm, hotfixes tomorrow. Hope we don't have too many problems tonight.
Report them. You'll get the last laugh and they'll get a vacation. Anyone openly talking about it is asking for it anyhow.
I hope not. We had two disconnects and other lag during T5 that made completing it... well, it didn't happen.
At least you guys can play! I still somehow have myself locked out of Mogstation accepting ANYTHING. Awaiting a response from S-E... so I can finally talk to them... in which case I'll probably get a phone number... and will have maybe 30 minutes to get in touch with them after work on Thursday or Friday.
Honestly I don't think I'm even going to try and renew for a while. Maybe next week. The servers are doomed.

Gee, we scheduled T1-4 and T5 practice for tomorrow, and my PC is busted.
Having to play on PS3 plus this lag people keep mentioning will be.... interesting.

Hyur= best players. We don't need to be special little butterflies we let our skill do the talking.

Edit: Glad to hear about the hotfixes. I've been getting crippling lag on nearly all instances since the last patch.
Excuse you, cat man, but hyurs are perfection!
Low level conjurer healing is so easy that its mind boggling, at level 25 i have been running all the available dungeons so far, even with shit tanks they are a walk in the park compared to other mmo healing rotations, with 2 skills only... single target heal and group heal, thats it.
I'm amazed when people start complementing me for a great job healing... when the only thing i want to respond is that even a monkey can do this.
Does it get more active later on, or will it maintain this level of difficulty?

It gets a bit more active and you'll have more abilities to play with. It's still pretty easy compared to other games though.
Also people complement you because lots of healers DPS since it's so easy. But in doing so, they sometimes forget to actually heal...
Perfect mediocrity.
Is this a case of Se dumbing down content difficulty to allow for console players being able to play and group with pc players? I would imagine healing with a controller to be a bit more involved than my current setup.
Not really. Our two healers both use controllers and we've been through all the content the game has to offer so far. Most of the dungeons in the game are pretty easy.
Do you do anything special for targeting? I changed my left/right target filter to enemies only (with weapon drawn) yesterday, and left up/down to party members.
Haven't done enough to understand if that'll be limiting in later content.
At level 25 you haven't even hit the first mildly challenging content. Healing as a conjurer mostly revolves around saving mana, managing cooldowns in healing intensive fights and straight up knowing said fights,
because reactionary healing can be hard when the mob two or even oneshots your tank. There is no such thing as healing rotation in this game, really. Endgame encounter in this game are usually very movement intensive,
your job as a WHM is to find the time to toss out heals while dodging stuff, burstheal your tank up after big damage and keeping your party topped off.
Some endgame encounters in this game will rip you apart. (Until you beat them for the first time
)Well, uh, I don't use a controller. So I have no idea.
So addicted to this right now. So good.
Is there something wrong with me I get a new haircut every other day? Its tough being a midlander in a world of beautiful people! Though I just got a fantasia potion. Maybe I should save it until i know for sure...temptation...
Is there any way to disable the spam from chat?

Depends on which you're more comfortable with really. Other than that, not really. For me, scrolling up and down on the D-pad feels no different than clicking the member's name on that list. The only thing even remotely tricky about a controller is getting used to where you have things set on your hotbars and becoming comfortable with it. You won't have the luxury of having 3-4 hotbars up on your screen, so you'll have to be economical with the space you dedicate for your skills in terms of ease of access.
As for whatever DPS you want to try to spit out, the two-button filter for scrolling through enemies has never caused me any trouble.

You can set up what shows in your chat log in the settings, just tick/untick the boxes you want to see for each section (General, Battle and Events if you still have it set up with the default tabs).
Yeah, default. Though I spent 30 hours in it so far, still very much learning how to play.
I like the general world chat, just keep getting the spam to buy gil.
I don't think so. I think it's more encounter design. Some fights can be difficult but it's still overall easier I feel as a healer than some other games. It gets better though. Before end game you don't really have to pay attention... It gets even easier once you get Regen I feel.
But eh... Modern MMORPGs all tend to be like this. The "real game begins at max level".

Yeah :/, gil sellers tend to spam /whisper (but do spam other chats too). I usually blacklist them whenever it happens since some of my FC/LS friends whisper me to talk.
I feel like, if you don't skip the optional dungeons, FFXIV really begins when you have your job. You start learning all the skills needed for end game, and you get the ability sets too. Healing has a nice jump in difficulty at Brayflox for sure.

Early dungeons are obnoxiously boring as a healer, let us be lazy when we can.
Nope.
Yes, it's because the content is easy, not that your healers are skilled. "So easy that even controller users can do it!"
