My GF an I just completed a FF14 long dream.... we managed to buy a house... in Gridania
Top of the Hill, great view 3mil.
Congratulations.
But I would've waited a few more weeks, then you could get a house wherever you want. ^^

Well I got a ce-30022-7 error for my PS4 version as soon as it updated, which means I can't even launch the game. The internet seems to suggest I need to reinstall the game.
Is this likely to be patched again or am I going to have to wait for the physical disc to come in the mail to avoid reinstalling everything since 2.0?

According to Square, that error message means that something has likely become corrupted in the game's data, which is something that only be fixed by redownloading the data to try to replace it with an uncorrupted version.

Great, I guess I'll start on that now. :x
Edit: I guess 150 min isn't that bad.

I have gotten 6 long black screens in the last 5 minutes. Still not getting in though.
Why join the worst server in this time of crisis?
There was no ungodly hour where they worked.
If you're on an NA server, that wouldn't help. No one on the US servers want to give up and just stayed up spamming it all night.
I woke up at 2am UK time and it's now almost 2pm UK time (so like 9 EDT at night until 9am) and it has no calmed down at all.

And just when it starts to calm down... general release will hit!
The issues are the quest blockades, right?
I'm starting fresh, so worst I'll get is queue times, and I mostly play in the mornings and during the day.
This IS the general release. Early access is just marketing. Pretty sure absolute majority of people who give a damn about this game are playing.

Oh, I'm still waiting to be able to play. But then I didn't buy via Steam, so I guess that's my own doing.
Because I am stuck on Pippin Savage I decided to solo some stuff

This is the worst launch I've ever seen.
It's been more than 24 hours and the game is still broken.

You've been lucky if this is the worst launch you've ever seen! There have been far worse, but again you only know about them if you've had to sit through em. This seems pretty bog standard to me at the moment. A little funny almost, that it's an age old problem that you'd think they'd have seen. But here we are!

For those bored of PotD, you don't have to exclusively spam it. Sure, it's faster, but it doesn;'t mean that other methoes are unbearabvly slow. Leves, beast tribe quests, regular roulettes. It's been less than 24 hours since I started and I got my RDM to level 55 and that's including having a full night of sleep, and other regular real life stuff.

I mean, the game is still functional outside of these instances, so it's already better than 1.0 or 2.0.
Mr. Luchador
Member
Yeah, I guess if that's your sample size I can understand your reasoning. However, in general MMO terms this is pretty standard! Not entirely excusable though, but I don't think it's the worse from what I've seen looking in from the outside.
I feel like Diablo3 and Sim City were worse than this, and they weren't even typical MMOs (just silly always online games). It will get better, and you'd hope some good will time will be added to subs to make up for the downtime.

I've played it mainly as single player, with drop-in COOP with a friend now and again. I have no interest in high end raids though, far too time consuming (I blame WoW).

I'm not a hardcore raider, but I still do them. Even if you don't care to do the tiers proper, the 24 mans are usually pretty fun. I also am usually solo, but only because my friend was going to play with me (which is why I joined Exodus) and never actually did.
The battle system takes a while to get interesting. Square took great pain to ease people in which resulted in quite a bit of braindead-easy content.
Dungeons unlock in a couple of levels for you, so I'd say to stick with it for at least a little bit. I'm not really a fan of the It Gets Better™ argument, though, so if you're really not feeling it, I couldn't blame you for giving the game a pass.

It doesn't rewrite MMO troupes by any means, however it does provide a nice Final Fantasy world to spend your time in. This comes from another low levelish player, so I can imagine others will be able to give a more rounded experience.

I remember wow launch with some servers being down for like a week. This isn't even close to this or Rift launch or some other stuff. But for a modern game releasing a 2nd expansion, it is definitely pretty damn bad.

So this is a matter of not having enough servers correct?
This is why I can never agree with online only, servers ain't ever ready for people.

Has your credit card expired since you last bought anything from the Mog Station? That's the only other thing I can think of, but Googling for the i2501 error shows mostly people who have moved to other regions
This YouTuber suggests buying Crysta through Paypal, but when I tried that nothing happened:

It's really infuriating. Fro what I'm reading, there's no way to pay them to get your service running again, unless (in my case) you have someone in your home country log in and enter the pay details for you.
In your case, can you do the Crysta workaround?

My friend and I woke up at 4am est to attempt to get through the two bottlenecks. We made it through within 20 minutes. Good luck to the rest of you.

As someone who has never played FXIV, would now be a good time to jump in. Is this game newbie friendly?
Just spammed?
Dougieflesh
Member
Yep. The servers barely had any traffic on. Spammed and was done with both fairly quickly and then we knocked out the dungeon and went to sleep.

Got up pretty early when the servers were dead this morning, was able to get to the first primal! Wanted to clear a path so when I get off work later it shouldn't be congested where I'm at.
I would say now is the best time since everything got changed
Expansion launches are the best time for new players to get in a mmo actually
Of course! There are plenty of lower-level folks playing, and the game has a system which encourages more established players to run the older content, so you shouldn't have any issues progressing through most of the story.
