This is hilarious. People are ACTUALLY forming physical lines for that quest XD

hah. I'm still doing the filler quests to freaking start heavensworld, by the time i finally reach this expansion there will be another one out and i won't have to worry about any lines

This is literally Beta phase 3 all over again.

 

[Absoludacrous]

It's a common problem. You can resize it in the options or use the virtual mouse (l1 + r3) and press r2 on a dialogue bubble to resize it.

Awesome, thanks. I scoured the menu and couldn't see anything, but the virtual mouse thing worked perfectly.

 

[Mastamind]

This is literally Beta phase 3 all over again.

Right, no idea why they would not implement an actual queue if players were going to be gated by the instance servers again.

 

[SoraanTribal]

yes

Yep

Correct. It's part of the story that brings you there, so you can't just go right in.

Gotcha OK. Thanks!

Also does white mage not get 10 role ability slots at 60? Do only classes get 10?

 

[iammeiam]

Only classes get 10, jobs get 5.

5 is not enough slots for everything actually useful on a healer, so swapping for content will be a thing.

I'm guessing you mean the ability slots which have replaced the cross-class abilities? If so, you only get the 5. Unless of course they unlock the others between 61-70, which I don't see them doing.

Edit: Am wrongs. Class get the 10.

Boo that sucks lol. I want all my healer role stuff...lol

 

[KZXcellent]

So do you get to do anything cool content-wise before this broken instance? Still downloading Stormblood atm.

 

[Wazzy]

If MSQ is messed up then I guess I won't be as far behind as I originally thought while at work lol

 

[scy]

Nope. It's barely 10-ish quests in, many of which are just go here, go there, etc. types.

 

[RK9039]

I can't even get into the queue to log into the game lol.

 

[BlackJace]

They're out, but choose wisely which job you boost as currently 1/account.

Oh no job potions for me, I just need to jump from the end of ARR to SB.

 

[Cmagus]

Just got off the phone they have to escalate my issue and the dude says hopefully it can get resolved before Stormblood so it looks like early access isn't gonna happen on my end. Seems like I'm locked out of my Mogstation and they don't know why.

 

[gryvan]

I'm level 62...close to 63 grinding FATEs

AND THE FUCKING MSQ IS STILL NOT OPENED

;_;




send help

 

[Retro Edge]

Or in video form, is smoother.

Finally made it to Kugane.

Also if anyone is looking for the mount speed upgrade you can get a "Riding Map" for 250 Centurio/Allied Seals.

 

[R0ckman]

Someone baited a monster over to the npc to get people to scram and I got in lol

 

[Bebpo]

Hey, so melee DPS (NIN) lost Internal Release? That was my big damage non-stop crits barrage. Any way to make up for it?

 

[wamberz1]

Must... complete...MSQ...Before...SAM and RDM's... catch up to 60... and...flood... queue times!

Is it one map per zone or getting that one item is enough to run faster everywhere?

 

[Depths of Orion]

Well good thing I have exams next week. When I jump in next week there should be no problems getting all these quests complete

 

[TheMrPliskin]

Logged off earlier in the day after messing with the Bard changes for a little as I figured I'd wait for things to smooth out. Looks like the main change is that there are more lines instead of just huge circles of people, so I guess that's progress.

Just got off the phone they have to escalate my issue and the dude says hopefully it can get resolved before Stormblood so it looks like early access isn't gonna happen on my end. Seems like I'm locked out of my Mogstation and they don't know why.

That sucks, hopefully it's resolved before the official launch.

/aaction is so useful. As a tank there's more than 5 useful role abilities, and I couldn't be arsed to switcy them manually everytime. So I set a macro to auto do it. One for dungeons, and one for Trials.

Rampart, Provoke and Convalescence will always be there. I have Awareness and Anticipation for dungeons, with them both being switched for Reprisal and Shirk for Trials. Not sure if there's a better way or abilities to choose, but that's what made sense to me.

 

[Caim]

Per zone.

 

[Blitzhex]

No more cleric stance dancing is so good. Feels great to play healer now. Wonder why it took them this long.

 

[duck_sauce]

I'm stupid, where is the red mage trainer for the level 52 levelquest

 

[Soroc]

I'm stupid, where is the red mage trainer for the level 52 levelquest

Would he still be at black brush station in central than? I just picked up the job from him there at 50

Duality can crit, dream within a dream has more potency & lower cool down other various potency buffs as well.

I read through all the changes and it's not as huge of a DPS loss as I thought I'd be. We ninjas gonna be ok, unless we all switch to SAM.

 

[Aeana]

I'm done wasting my time with this crap. It's only going to get worse as the day goes on and people come home from work.

There's a macro that lets you switch role actions on the fly? Care to share it?

 

[fluffydelusions]

Yeah kinda sucks I cant progress in the MSQ =\

 

[_woLf]

I'm suddenly no longer regretting not completing all of post 3.0 content now.

 

[thequickandthedead]

ugh why did I log out earlier. 2.5k people in queue.

 

[E_Darkness]

Judging from what I've read, I'm glad I decided to spend my day just grinding RDM and messing around with SAM.

 

[Etroveria]

This is hilarious. People are ACTUALLY forming physical lines for that quest XD

happened on my server as well.

grinding on side quests and fates is kinda laggy too. thinking to just progress with a tank friend who doesn't have early access but maybe it's just as equally congested on launch date. oh well.

 

[Bowlie]

I lost all energy and will take a nap, maybe they will figure this crap out later today.

 

[skLaFarebear]

Did they really move 5 of WHM's actions over to the role tree? And we can only equip 5 of them? So basically I have to use all my role actions to equip what I already had in 3.0 since its 5 important skills for WHM/Healers. How do we benefit at all from this shit? Do we get more role actions later? I can't even equip cleric stance unless I wanna keep swapping it out for esuna or something else.

I guess its not that important, but still just pretty annoying.

 

[Brandon F]

Guess I'll just grind more light for my relic...

 

[iammeiam]

So I reached the first dungeon, and my leveling buddy is stuck in the RNG clickspamfest that is the stupid first solo story instance.

So I made a short video of why the entire LINE thing is doomed to fail. Here is a random Levi line.

Please note the giant clump of people around the NPC at the end and, importantly, how culling kicks in so severely that you're not going to be able to tell if people are mobbing the NPC if you're a few people back. Conceptually, it's nice, but in reality if you're at the back of The Line you're not going to get progressively closer. The people who benefit are going to be the ones who mob, get in and out unscathed, and have less competition from all the people behaving.

Time to AFK and wait I guess. If they open the floodgates here, the same thing is going to happen fairly shortly after. They should have either had a dungeon prior to the solo instances, to help slow people down, or actually planned for this shit in advance because this is super dumb.

 

[xiaxdragon]

amazon still hasn't given me, my pre-order code yet


time to message them when I get home

 

[neoemonk]

I was on almost seven hours ago now and it might actually have gotten worse.

Maybe I will just work on my crafters and gatherers after work. This seems horrible.

 

[Shahed]

There's a macro that lets you switch role actions on the fly? Care to share it?

I had something like this for dungeons:

/aaction "Reprisal" off
/aaction "Shirk" off

/aaction "Awareness" on
/aaction "Anticipation" on

And just reversed it for when I do Trials. Hadn't got around to setting one up for melee classes yet

 

[PKMNTrainer]

Kind of a simple question here. Trying to get my friends into the game, hoping to hook them up with the free trial that's offered now. I know Stormblood brought a bunch of job combat changes. Are those changes currently live for everyone? Or do only Early Access users have access to these changes?

Live for everyone. Early access is Stormblood zones, levels, RDM/SAM etc.

 

[PowerTaxi]

Did 2 roulettes and got booted. Well, time for dinner while I wait for the hour long queue to go through.

 

[Retro Edge]

Are 4.0 Fates only in the new areas?

 

[Lunafreya Nox Fleuret]

Hmmm, I'm having trouble logging in.

 

[RPGCrazied]

GLD area is where you finish the quest and start the second one

They do. SAM quest is literally in front of the Uldah Aetheryte, RDM quest is in the Uldah market.

Thanks, found them. My 51 on the other character can make them. I really didn't think he has finished 2.0, I guess so.

I'm getting the hang of the samurai. The red mage though still figuring it out.
