I had written off this game due to the backlash and constant laughter at the game's expense but reading impressions on here, reddit and elsewhere it actually sounds fun as hell. I may pick this up on PS4.
You are not entitled to ask this question.
Yep, that's the one. Other than that the launch has been very smooth and that was my first encounter with a quest bug. With maintenance just happening maybe they will fix it.
I keep hearing how great the PvP is which is pretty cool considering I never even considered PvP in this game. So far the PvE is what has me hooked, but it's nice to know that I'll have something equally enjoyable to do for a change of pace.
Any idea how long the maintenance is for? Eager to get back in. I really can't get enough of this at the moment, tried the pvp for the first time and loved it!
On another note, the eu GAF guild is sitting at a fantastic 4 people at the moment, would be great to get some more of you in there.

Anyone here playing a summoner? How is it? (I love pet classes.)

If PC/PS4 servers are shared (Doubtful) I will join in June

They aren't. Every system has separate servers. :/
I'm still not entirely sure myself, though it seems with veteran ranks you get access to otherwise gated content, including access to other alliance's zones.

I was really, really impressed by the PvP. Cyrodiil is enormous, and the way the campaign works, with leaderboards, the emperor, keeps, farms, scrolls and more, is deep and interesting.
The first time i took part in a keep siege i was thinking "this is what i wanted in GW2, WAR, and all the other PvP MMOs".
Siege weapons shooting at the walls (that can be destroyed), battering rams moved by multiple players (awesome animation, by the way), the possibility to put camps for allies to spawn, the way the resource places and keeps are connected... Its just a blast.

God damn. Fearful PS4 servers may be empty...

The PvP is bananas you guys. Even running poorly in the beta due to a performance bug (iirc it was fixed by the last beta) it was Roc beyond what I expected. It was chaos, hundreds of people running around with siege machines laying large scale waste to castles. Felt like I was in LotR.
Eh, it's hard to explain. Anyways, I'll see about joining up later tonight. Being in a guild would help greatly.

Each region has only one server each (US and EU) and I'm guessing it'll sell pretty well on PS4 so that shouldn't be a problem. Still dumb to split the userbase though...

Hope it sells well on EU PS4
lol the NA Guild has 4 also.

Stupid hyperbole almost made me miss out on this game. Gonna try the PvP tonight but so far it's been great!
Get on mumble and get an invite into Acolytes if you haven't =)

Yeah, it's sad considering that FFXI had cross region, cross platform single account play a decade ago. I'm guessing it's to reduce latency for Cyrodiil consisting the amount of people that area can support, and to prevent issues with PvP combat. Still, having to have multiple accounts for PS4, XBO and PC is kinda inexcusable to me.
So my guild is on the Dawnbreaker campaign which unfortunatly is completely outnumbered by AD right now as we are Daggerfall.
We decided to take the fight to them last night, rolled in with 30+ guild members and took back our first keep in no time and then the defense had to begin. AD got angry really quickly with us and started swarming us with over 100+ members. A small group of us stealthed off to Glademist keep and started attacking it to split their forces into 2, we started pushing back really good at that point and our group held off 9 vs 30, but the numbers did us in.
That's when AD came full force back on us and retook the keep, it felt like the movie 300. It was literally us 36 or so guildies vs. 150+ AD at that point. We held as long as we could, but just couldn't keep up with it. Was an amazing experience to start Live PVP. We had some great battles in the closed PTS beta server, but nothing like this.
As a side note I am still undefeated in 1 v 1 and 1 v 2 so far, but I can't win when its 1 v 7 lol

Reading your impressions and I seriously cannot wait until June so I can get my PS4 with this game. If I hadn't a crappy laptop I would've bought it by now.

I know this game is supposed to suck (it doesn't), but I really want class to end so I can get home and hit this hard. Hey Professor, I know Finance is important and all, but can you shutup so I can leave? THANKS

Got this last night. Tried to whisper to @Emenis for a invite to the NA guild. Is there a way to search for a guild and apply?
I started as a sorcerer but I'm not really feeling it. Anybody got any solid builds for a dual-wield type character? Also I really hope they patch in controller support because the controls feel really weird to me.

I am not going to be on till after 10pm cst tonight, but look for higherfewer, flopsy, naup or other officers to get a guild invite.
According to their FAQ, they have no plans to do this.
Why in the hell not? It is seriously ruining the game for me that I have to hunch over my crappy computer desk using my crappy monitor to play this.
ESPECIALLY due to the fact that the entire interface was designed to be used with a controller!
ARGH so frustrating.
I used that third party Pinnacle app to "emulate" a controller, but the look around emulation is godawful. Pushing the stick in any diagonal direction causes the viewpoint to move extremely slowly. Using an emulator is just not an option.
I just don't understand... I mean, they have this game working on the XBone, right? Just put that controller code in the PC!

FlyinJ - I agree. I hate pushing the number buttons while trying to move and I hate the sprint button is shift, it's all over the place. I really don't understand why they won't patch in controller support, its built and ready to go. Maybe I need to invest in one of those MMO mouse with the number buttons on it.
Mouse emulation on an analog stick for moving the camera with Pinnacle is a goddamn travesty.
There is no analog at all. You press hard or light on the stick, and the camera moves at the same rate. The only way to get "faster" movement is to keep the stick held in a direction, and the viewpoint starts accelerating in that direction.
It makes the game extremely hard to play.
Naga Mouse + changing keybinds = your problem solved =P
I do think they'll add keyboard support post console launch though, who knows. I am keyboard/mouse guy though.
Yuck, nevermind then.
I don't think it'll be F2P for at least a year at the minimum, it really depends on how well they retain players with new content. If they can get regular content updates out it will stay subscriber for longer.
The PVP will also help retain players longer as it's easily the best game on the market for this type of PVP.
Not yet, that will probably be in the first content update sometime this month along with Craglorn Adventure zone and the Trials.

I really want to buy this but the no controller support is killing it.

You won't be able to equip a sidearm until level 15, which is kind of a pain. Stealth is also pretty useless in PVE groups, although the damage output is absurd.
Apparently stealth is much more important in PVP.
