Selective memory is a bitch for them I guess.

So how do you unlock the second mount speed upgrade?
The funny part is, he's probably not.
People have been stuck at the same point in MSQ since, seriously, the servers came up.
You don't get credit for trying more, you don't move ahead in line, nothing.
So somebody starting right now may face a login queue and some disconnects--which happened at server up too--but once they get to the bottleneck they have the exact same odds as the people stuck there all day.

Should we lock this thread until the expansion is actually available?

Well, I play for 13 hours straight now and I had absolutely no problems so far, literally.
Ok, I just started the main quest an hour ago but it runs good so far.

The MSQ will run fine until you get to the Cold Steel quest then RIPWell, I play for 13 hours straight now and I had absolutely no problems so far, literally.

I tried a Frontlines and it was basically watching half the instance constantly DC and reconnect, resulting in a roving band of those who stayed on hunting out isolated survivors.
But it's shaping up to be such a convenient link for the next time somebody says we should trust that Yoshida knows what he's doing!

If you DC you still get XP. I've been watching Towelliee play and all he is doing is pvp and he is lvl 64. He gets dc'd all the time but when you login you still get the xp even if you do nothing lol

Think I'm liking the Samurai more than the Red Mage, seems more complicated.
It's already unlocked. For upgrades in 2.0 areas, go to the Hunt Billmaster in your Grand Company HQ and buy an upgrade for each region (Middle La Noscea, Outer La Noscea, etc.) for 250 Allied Seals.
For 3.0 areas, go to the Forgotten Knight in Foundation and buy an upgrade for each region (Sea of Clouds, Azys Lla) for 250 Centurio Seals.

I was literally right next to Yoshida for the entirety of E3 since our game was set up right next to Stormblood in the SE booth.
"Available" in the heaviest of quotes.

Oh so I have to farm seals to unlock them?
Can you psychically contact your past self and have him warn Yoshida that people are going to actually try to play during EA.
Maybe there's still time!
Yuuuup!
It sure seems to be trying though. Tanaka be praised.

Perhaps a tear in the space-time continuum will fix things!
Edit: or maybe I tried this and it's what is causing the issues! D:
You know, with both Matsuno and Yoshida working hard on Stormblood, and with all the effort and money and time going into fixing these Day -3 issues, it could well be that FFXIV 4.0 is the earliest we will ever get to seeing a smooth FFXIV launch. I hope they actually get if off the ground eventually. I'll like to play it.

Same. This is infuriating. Taking a break.
I'll take Heavensward's login issues over not being able to play content I paid for in Stormblood due to poor quest design on the part of the development team.
Hey guys, just booted up the game and skipped through some messages that seem to be important. It said something about being in a defensive mode and now I can't select some of my abilities and have a crimson shield like logo in the right upper part of my HUD.
Playing as a Paladin btw, abilities like provoke can't be used.

You probably need to put provoke back in your hotbar because the cross class system has been revamped entirely. The color of the gauge you have is based on which Oath mode you're in.

Did they change gathering nodes? Can't find the unspoiled node in Sea of Clouds for Red Quartz that spawns at 12 ET.
oh wut
Yeah, I noticed some missing HW nodes earlier...
Oh god.
Omega: The Bend of Time
Sorting out what caused the launch problems is the raid. IT ALL MAKES SENSE.

This is awful. I'm getting so much lag and I never had this lag before. MSQ is still borked here and I'm getting kicked out a lot.

That explains it. Thanks a lot. Gonna be strange not casting Bio 1 anymore.
Raubahn is going to be possibly one of the most hated characters in the game after this fiasco.
At this point, all I can think of when I think of him is that slow-ass camera pan with him crouched down.

Wait a second, where is the enmity reducer for bard?

Cold steel shall be in this game's memories.
Honestly the most amazing thing about it is Cold Steel is just kind of a generic fight that probably wouldn't have been remembered without this.
The one after is actually pretty interesting (even as somebody who doesn't care about any of this!), but Cold Steel itself is just anticlimactic af.
It's built into Tactician and Refresh role slots; we don't get Quelling, we get basically Shroud tying our enmity reductions into our resource regen. Which has a lot of weird implications.

Wow thanks, they really did change a lot.
