Final Fantasy XIV: Stormblood |OT| Y'all Need to Calm Down
- Thread starter Ken
- Start date
There was once I saw Flames lead. We thought we were going to lose it. We fought hard but it looked like a lost cause. Then at 1400 or something, they choked hard, we got a big crystal, and then we proceeded to slaughter all the players around the crystal after it was done. Adders won again.
I was Adders at the start (mained DRG for a while!) but then saw how atrocious their Hunts gear was. Swapped to Mael like everyone else and their mom for that omnom coat. Haven't swapped back yet.
Ha, cute.
Mael gets devastated sometimes. We have a match where we never even cracked 500 while the other two were fighting it out at 1400 or so. Numbers may be a little closer but it was an embarrassing shutout. Adders just seem to have their shit together more often than Mael, so s'why I given 'em middle fingers out of envy and spite.

I can only speak for my own experiences but I only noticed one prominent AFKer, whom was quickly told off and vote kicked by another member of the party. I can see how it could be a thing with how oblivious some groups are, though.
The system probably needed some kind of participation monitor, IMO. Rather than just AFK pruning, measure role activity and have it suspend players from queueing if they do next to nothing across several games.
I sometimes see that hit with a rebuttal that people wouldn't be able to guard the home point with that in place but I don't feel like that kind of defense has any significant merit anyway. Just seems like an excuse to idle.

I was kicked once for AFK in Frontlines but that wasn't on purpose, I went into the instance, went to get a drink and completely forgot I was in frontlines so I was just browsing GAF and wondering why it was taking so long for my queue to pop then I saw the message in chat about me being kicked for AFK.

Oh, man. Yeah, it's hard to keep track of all the cultural references / gags after a certain point, especially when you have a localization team numbering in the double digits.
It looks like they're also things that show up at completely different times in the game: one in the beginning, one at the end of ARR, and one in SB.
Sure, it looks bad, and yes, they should not get a free pass for it, but man, it IS hard being cognizant of everything you've done over the span of x years.
This could be avoided (probably) if they had stuck with the original text, but then you'd probably get something like "XXX Master I".
I can forgive this kind of oversight as opposed to the Mid rewrite and the Moenbryda minion flavor.

Last queue I was in our group had five healers and the other two groups had none.
I was on Astro so I swapped to Dark Knight for the duration (you get XP on whatever the match finishes on, so you can play whatever and just swap at the end) but no one else did so we were... a very healthy group!

I knew it, I knew I wasn't going fucking insane.
I forgot you can switch! That's how long I was away from FL. Once they nerfed my unstoppable healer train of death I kinda piddled out of it.

I guess they put more enmity as I was stealing aggro with my level 66 rdm pretty much every dungeon today, lol.
Well, they're down right now because patching in the normal mode raid tier (and some other things).
There's no DDoS now, it's maintenance before Omega drops later.
The game is down for maintenance right now. They updating to 4.01.

Does anyone know when the server is supposed to be back up?
Also is this the patch that allows us to buy housing in the new district?

3am PT(so 3 hours from now) is what the notice said.
As others explained that it's not down currently, many MMOs are the target of DDoS attacks. Sometimes it's a hardcore fan of a rival game, othertimes it's someone who is upset at being banned for something. They consider it there way of getting back at the company and costing them money, somehow. Of course it may just be a sociopath who really only gets off anymore people complaining on forums about not being able to connect to their games. I imagine all of these may apply in this scenario equally.
Oooh ok, I don't think my News items had updated on the launcher. Thanks
edit: Downloading the patch now.

Cool thanks. I didn't see housing mentioned in the notes but I thought this was the patch it gets added no?

But the dev team wants us to put alts in crafted or raid normal mode gear like always. But what if we don't want to? Nope, no other solutions but waiting 7 weeks for the weapon and months to gear up. It's real silly and very very lazy to copy paste everything as it was. I expected an endgame that changed, an endgame that would be somehow more exciting with different ways to gear up but nope, we can't have that in FFXIV. I am subbed because I love this game but I think at this point it may even be a few days before I'm playing something else. It depends how long I decide to level classes to 70, etc.
No. Housing is coming in 4.1 probably. That's months away. This is 4.01.

The whole
thing made me want to go back and give Marauder some more play.
Switched over to it only to remember and see it at a lowly Lv6...
Nope, nevermind.
Warriors of Darkness

Nope, nevermind.
The ARR Meteor intro was what made me wanna give it a whack. Steeeeeeel CYCLONE!
I hope they stay a little longer, been enjoying the extra hunts.
Patch is up for download. Servers come back in 1 hour and 48 minutes.
I meant servers, thx.

I'm somewhat drunk and just bought Stormbrood on steam. How do I activate it on my account?
Sorry, reading comprehension fail on my side.
You need to grab the CD key from steam by using view CD keys on the game and then paste it into the right section on the FFXIV mogstation website.

No lie, I HATE it when I get into a dungeon and the first thing in chat is "sorry, super drunk right now". Happens way more often than I thought possible and it's the worst.

It's true.
Even better is when you die and someones like "lol sorry high as fuck keep going"
It's infuriating. I get that some people don't give a shit about their own time, but please stop wasting everyone else's.
