    Yeah, seriously...what the hell have you been doing Pyros? I played non-stop during P4 and last weekend. I only got my ARC to 31 so far.

    Do what? I've been able to log in just fine when I get #2 (1017 error). I don't know that you really need to restart the client at all.

    Except we haven't done that in...50 years?

    Apparently once you get to the 30+ dungeons, they get pretty difficult too. Highest one I've done is Toto-Rak and we did wipe on one boss, but that's cause the tank sucked.

    Really? I haven't noticed it on Gilgamesh that much. In fact, I find that the GC ends up with more bullshit spamming than shout.

    Small pox is good for like 10-30 years or some shit like that.

    Nope. My first retainer is almost completely filled. My second one is basically old equipment right now. But it'll soon be filling with crafting materials too. That's partly the reason I've started leveling up all my classes, is to get rid of old shit. I'm doing adventurer classes right now...

    War with Syria

    People get plague in the US all the damn time. Also, vaccinated against small pox. Thanks military! I really hope we don't fall for this whole "someone said" shit as far as these attacks go. Sounds exactly like Iraq.

    Keep or broker any crafting materials. Use your food. Sell any allaghan pieces. Sell any equipment you won't use on any classes you don't plan on leveling up. If you have any 100% spiritbound equipment that you would otherwise sell, convert it into materia. Think that covers everything.

    I may have just been lucky, but I got home from work and had few problems. I tried logging on at 4:30pm PDT, and got in the first try. Had to relog due to a bug (explained below) and it took me less than 5 minutes to get back on. I'd say the problems have mostly been fixed. It's still a pain in...

    The code to get your code was just for early access. No idea why they did it that way. But basically they allowed retailers to give you an 18 digit code that you could redeem with Square-Enix for a 20 digit early access code. Then the retailers send you a separate 20 digit box code (normal or...

    I think you're right here. That would explain the brief hiccups yesterday with duty finder. It'd be working well for a while and then crap out, but only for like 5 minutes. I figure they were closely monitoring it, and when they raised the server limits enough it'd cause duty finder to break...

    I thought it was strange how they so blatently ripped off the Empire with those guys. Like, they even had a Darth Vader voice in one of the cutscenes.

    It's really besides the point. A lot of the people on Reddit weren't able to create accounts there either. So while there's an "official" server, it's about as official as Gilgamesh is for Rerolled. A good portion of us are there, but there's also a ton that aren't. At this point, the issue...

    I'm having a blast playing it so far. The problem is a lot of login issues. So it's a bitch to play, but once you do, it's fun. We have an FC (guild) on Gilgamesh, but currently the server is not accepting new character creation. I know last night every single NA/EU server was locked for new...

    You weren't able to get your lvl 30 quest at the class quest person? There's a quest every 5 levels from what I've seen. You should just visit the same one you've been going to for all the others to get it. Once you finish that one, you'll get another immediately after for your job quest, which...

    Saw a post about this on Reddit, but what role did you all go with for your chocobo (or what are you planning on)? I went with DPS. I haven't used it very much yet, mostly because I'm not grinding mobs very often and it sucks summoning it and then having to withdraw to ride it again (fucking...

    I'm a bit worried that it's not their hardware that's a problem, but something in their code sucks. Hopefully if it is hardware related, they took action on Saturday so they can hopefully get it in place soon. But I doubt it. I'd imagine Thursday or Friday at the earliest. But we might be all...

    So tomorrow, when people who haven't played early access yet try to go and create a character and all the servers are locked, what then? They've already said their servers have WAY too many players on them, so they're not going to just open them up.

    I thought a good portion of the rebels were Al-Qaeda? Why the fuck are we choosing sides in this? They're both terrible.

    He's also a proven commodity. RG3, Wilson, and Luck are all still somewhat question marks. Will they repeat their performances last year or suffer sophomore slumps?

    Yeah, not sure how you can't call this one of the worst ever. Just the fact that every single NA/EU server was completely locked to creating new characters yesterday is pretty telling. I mean, it's one thing to not be able to log on. But to not even be allowed to create a character on the...

    GC hunting log is also used for promotions to each "wrung" of ranks. To get promoted to the 5th rank, you need to have completed tier 1. I'm assuming tier 2 will be to unlock rank 9. You still need to spend seals for the promotion though.

    Man, shit load of pages since I read this thread during the last maintenance. I was able to play the entire time and instances even worked. I couldn't figure out why my brother-in-law sent me a picture of his cancellation, but I guess that explains it. As far as the game, not sure I love the...

    I was in, but duty finder was still fucked up. Logged out and now I'm 1017'd. So what the fuck is the point of limiting number of logins if duty finder wasn't working anyway?

    More than likely, you'll be able to play just fine since the servers will be empty. But come Tuesday, shit will be fucked up for a week since it's labor day weekend and Tuesday is launch day.

    The sad part is, at this point we all know this won't fix anything. It'll let people get in one instance a piece before it all explodes again, just in time for the 5:30pm - 8:30pm maintenance window.

    Cantatus, what you said is also very true about Brandon Hantz. And it's clear the people casting the show don't know the difference between a "villain" and an "asshole." They thought people liked to hate Brandon because he was a good villain, but it's really people just hated him because he's...

    2013 NFL Season

    I said the same thing to my wife. I explained to her the Lions 0-16 season that was preceded by the 4-0 preseason. It sounds retarded to root for them to lose a preseason game for reasons like that. The Redskins depth just looks really good right now. I guess that's my one take away from it.

    If you're using that argument, then can't you just play somewhere else for a few days while it clears up and then reroll on Gilgamesh? That way it's only the few people who can't get on that are rerolling vice the entire 100+ FC that's already established.
