    The lobby server or whatever has the NA server list on it has always been one of the bottlenecks. Probably all of us spamming to get in. If they didn't upgrade that, well....

    I remember soloing those guards at the BB docks. Good exp and loots! It also took me 44 levels to figure out that I could outrun NPCs by strafe running. Talk about a lot of needless deaths before that!

    At least when you guys do get in you're usually good to go for the day. My ISP picked a shitty shitty week to start randomly disconnecting me every hour ;\

    Minor quibble, but the 3102 error is still around somewhat. I finally got in a group for one of the many main storyline group dungeon quests, and promptly lost internet for 6 seconds. I then battled the 3102 'character still in game' error for almost half an hour. Maybe when they put in an...

    My internet seems to hiccup a few times a week. I previously didn't mind it. It is now rage inducing as I am once again locked out of the game. I did get worried when I got the infamous 'you still have a character in game, you cannot log in kekeke', but that fixed itself into a World Full...

    This. I'm sure you might be able to find one somewhere, but don't. Wait until they open sales back up(they will), because it will mean they sort of fixed the log in issues. Just hold off for now

    Wow, been losing the log-in battle all day today. I told myself I would not be 'that guy', but man when I eventually do get in I'm not logging out until right before I have to go back to work :P /switch to windowed mode when afk to keep the GPU from melting @ 144FPS

    We do it for you: Misery! No but it's a fun game when you can get in, and weekends are typical good MMO time, especially the rare-spawn "Long Weekend". Now I'm getting 1017'd before even picking a world, they've caught on to my shenanigans! /jk

    Ran the usual log on script this morning trying to get on Malboro. 30 minutes later the NA servers aren't showing. It's been like this for 20 minutes. "Unable to update group NA/EU character list" Anyone else getting this or have I been blacklisted for attempting to log in 300 times a minute? :P

    Speaking of FFXIV-APP, I can't get it to work for the life of me. It attaches to the PID, and the lodestone(whatever that is), but nothing shows up after combat. Odd. Sounds not too useful anyway as I'm an arcanist...well botanist now /flex.

    This is relevant to my interests, I'm running two older cards in SLI (GTX 580s). In FF14 they're both showing 90% useage, PS2? Both around 20% and the framerate shows :P

    True story: I left my G19 macro hitting 0, finally get in the game after an hour, then while stopping the macro my mouse hovers over "EXIT GAME" from my innroom bed, and it does just that ;\

    I almost did this too. Then I though NO... their planning is really that bad and I doubt they'd bother programming in a flag to let people create characters on locked servers if they already have one on it. Tried making a throwaway character, sure enough NOPE. Glad I tested it first lol...

    Oh god I remember that. Also when I cancelled 2 days after installing, they removed the remaining 28 days 'included' time from my subscription when FF11 was first launched in NA. I SE still does that, knowing their horrible accounting.

    Just for boredom's sake: How could this launch have gone any worse? Only thing I can think of is having to reinstall after every server error code. As it is, the setup is pretty laughable: 1) No queue system! (hey, you guys hate waiting in a queue, THEY FIXED IT for ya lol) 2) Random...

    Be careful trying an instance / story quest. I was doing a solo story quest and got a 90000 error, was booted, now server is full again. That'll do pig, that'll do!

    I made it all the way to 37! Then it refreshed the queue numbers and gave me this lovely message. I think I'd take the <InsertWOWGIFimageOf9HourQue> over this hot mess. At least I'd know where I stand.

    Yup, it's amazing how much immersion that adds. FF14 has it and it's amazing. SWTOR? Man those 'worlds' were stale as hell. Sure they lacked more than a day/night cycle but without it they were even more turrible. Just turrible

    If you're bored (LOL) create a new character, then look at what server options you have left. (HINT: It's one. ONE. And that will be gone soon =D ) This is like a nasty accident on the freeway, I just can't help but stare.

    I was looking at your profile. Looking at your weapon sheet, I thought "Damn, how's he so high ranked with few infantry weapon kills?" THEN I see the Lib stats. Lol. I've done very little of that in game, but it looks fun as hell. Yell at me in game if you need a gunner (Trebb). I'll echo...

    Same, and not wasting a weekend 'grinding' stuff. Can someone post when they fix the instancing/duty whatever the fuck it's called? :P Once that stuff works I'll go back to enjoying myself

    I don't mind the BF4's of the world, but only the PC 64 vs 64 type maps. Anything less seems to end up just having kids camping in corners, or one shotting with flavor of the month weapons. PS2 had FOTM shotguns for a while, but it's mostly been nerfed.

    You'd think with their 2.5 second GCD there'd be much less strain on the server per user. Compare that to, say Rift where its 0.5GCD for some classes plus 200 people all in one spot for an invasion, each having 20 different proc/dot/reactive the server has to track. GW2 had much fewer issues...

    Odd, my 20 character from last weekend isn't here. Hmm! Might have to do with the EU --->NA fix they did for me... Oh well at least Gilgamesh is open for new chars! *Edit You can't skip the intro scene? O.o

    Yes yes I am. Getting an ERROR 3: Try again later fromhttp://preorder.eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/. Which scares me on 2 fronts 1) Server might just be down, but 2) how the hell did I end up EU despite picking 'Murica when I made the account O.o
