Final Fantasy XIV: ARR, a Thread Reborn

[Parn]

It's cool, they posted a notice about customers being confused and having this issue and how to avoid making the same mistake on Twitter and their forums.  Not where it might count, like say, on the page where you register your game code where everyone would see it.

I logged in on Diabolos 2 or 3 times today without much waiting. Lucky I guess.

Tonberry was actually the server I was thinking of creating a character on. Hadn't even done any research.

I tried Tonberry just now and it was full so I created on Ixion. Quite a lot of people on Gridania considering it should not be the most active time on the server.
I didn't talk to anyone as to check what language people should be talking at least it's smooth playtime.

just got home and cant log in...bullshit.
btw the queue is still in place it just doesnt do what you think it does.

I'm actually noticing a huge amount of lag in Adamantoise.  Chocobo' that are floating in mid-air, Fates that don't have anyone on screen, yet you hear sound effects.  It must be very congested at the moment.

[Parn]

Man, I can only imagine the overtime being put in.  Despite my venting, I'm sympathetic to workers trying to resolve a major problem with tons of angry people calling for their heads.

I'm hoping they have it figured out before Labor Day weekend.

So here we are. Launch day, and...

NA/EU servers won't even show up and JP servers are restricting character creation.

So... Good luck out there!

[Parn]

Good news!  They're expanding the data centers to accomodate the heavy server load!

For Japan's data center.

They experienced a bit of lag, you see.

Well, if you wanted to make Yoshi the Producer cry, mission accomplished.

So I'm wondering if I should even bother grabbing my copy today at failstop, seeing as I probably can't log in today and all.

This one is going to be hard to for me, first, before my message, we have been doing the Early Access the past 3 days and for those playing on NA/EU server we had to place several maintenance which caused loss of precious play time, and since this event is being broadcasted to worldwide let me apologize, I am really sorry, our long journey is starting from here so I am hoping we will be able to recover this over time.

anyone else getting disillusioned with duty finder times for DD? im actually considering going scholar instead of summoner because of it. also my girlfriend wants mnk so i rolled gladiator so we can have short queue times.

[Raze]

Arcanist has it kind of nice since you don't really need to make that choice. Hit scholar for the instances and swap to summoner for everything else. Leveling two jobs for the price of one.

[Agent D.]

Haven't had a single problem as a marauder for duty finder loading yet. Haven't had many problems after my 3102 during phase 4. Worst queue was 9 people ahead of me, which was oddly my fastest too as my next login attempt got me on.

I'm curious if people are noticing differences between ps3 and pc connectivity. Most people I know who are having problems are on pc. My ps3 buddies are having no issues however...

I just did the boss of the level 35 dungeon.
Holy ****, that was amazing.  Even though it's an optional dungeon he gets the best battle I've encountered so far.

In other news, Titan can right fuck himself. How annoying.  But Titan-Egi is cute. Like a marshmallow.

PS: For all of you SCHs out there, you can cure two people manually, and without AOE, unlike WHM.  Just set Embrace onto your hotbar so you don't let the Fairy do what it wants all the time. You target one, use Embrace, then target the other and use your healing spells. Very, very useful.
