Why did they remove items from the auto-translation dictionary? Want 1.0 back!!111

/edit: Also: Unicorns. In Final Fantasy. What kind of shit did they smoke? A while or silver Chocobo would have been neat, but a friggin Unicorn. SERIOUSLY?

> On the topic of not being able to buy singles out of stacks on the markets

Been arguing with people on the OF who want the system to say like it is... It's just so counter-intuitive atm.

Also there are still the left/right pointing triangles in the interface which, at first, I clicked away at expecting it to alter the number of items I was purchasing from the stack. So I got double-mad at that for a while...

Might want to fix your link

Guys, about buying individual items instead of stacks in the NPC/markets whatever from NPCs and how YoshiP played too much WoW.... In WoW if you held down the shift key, you can select the quantity if the item instead of buying stacks.

Try it here, you'll never know! I can't get on to try haha

There's other MMOs that do it the same way. In theory you get cheaper stuff for buying in bulk or more expensive if you only want a few, rather than just whoever's is cheapest getting all the sales. Both ways have their pros and cons I guess.

37+ hours of error 1016 and counting. Will support rescue me today or will my suffering continue?!

IMO, ... no, wait, this is a random complaint thread.

F'ING CHOCOBOS ARE JUST TOO SLOW.

Other MMOs don't have fucking dumbshit 99 item stacks when most synths only take 1-3 of the same item.

If items only stacked to 10-30 (like in WoW) then I'd be fine with the current system, but leaving things as they are only means I'm always going to go farm my own materials unless I'm planning to mass-craft something.

[Niiro]

Shit don't say that or their solution will be to limit item stacks to 10 rather than allow you to select the amount of items to purchase.

[Sephiroth]

Items used to stack at 12 for ages in 1.0 and everyone complained so it got changed. I agree the selling thing is retarded but let's not fix it by limiting stacks to 12 again. I can't believe you can't choose how many you want to sell, even 1.0 had that at launch and the market wards were a disaster back then.

I'm still trying to input the code for special edition and it's still down. so much for 3 days early access.

Soo the apology from Yoshi-P didn't really seem to hint at any plans to correct the issue, I was hoping when he spoke about it he would give some insight into what was being done to correct the issue as its only going to get worse.

Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn isn’t due to officially launch until tomorrow. However, those who pre-ordered a copy of the revamped MMO were invited to start their journeys on August 24th.

It’s been a mostly stable launch for publisher Square-Enix. MMORPGs are notorious for day-one queues and log-in errors yet A Realm Reborn has been largely exempt from these issues.

With that said, there has been a number of reported crashes and players unable to access servers due to them having reached full capacity.

Game producer and director, Naoki Yoshida, responded to these complaints with an apology. Though he doesn’t outline a clear strategy to tackle the problem, he does advise new players to spread themselves across the more thinly-populated server worlds.

I’ve been dipping in and out of Eorzea all weekend as I start to pen my review. There were a couple of times that servers weren’t available and a handful of occasions in which I had to queue. However, whenever in-game, I never came across crashes or even the usual minor glitches and bugs.

We’ll have more on A Realm Reborn later this week. Be sure to keep an eye out for our full review too.

I wouldn't unless they get rid of the auction cap per retainer. People forget in WoW it's a lot easier to sell singles because there's no limit to how many you put up. Also, I can't remember if this is the default UI or my addon but I am pretty sure the default lets you select how many singles you put up at a single time, rather than having to do it each time as in FFXIV.

I do admit though, I kinda prefer the WoW way over ffxiv 1.0's way only because you could push mats a lot faster.

Since it's most likely extremely technical in nature, I would assume "we're looking into it" is the best baseline response for the situation. Also doubtful even Yoshi-P would understand 1/2 the shit the data center techs are probably telling him as they scramble around and troubleshoot.

Its in the default UI now.

I guess it's not something that can be fixed by squashing a bug or pressing a button. They need to optimize the canadaservers like they have optimized the jp ones, there's no one solution. :/

Move them out of canada. Someone probably spilled maple syrup on the server, or a moose attacked the data center.

Lets hope, for starters, that they're the same quality servers, and not some commodore 64 servers for NA/EU.

Just so you guys know, I was able to not only log in, but I was able to confirm queues are working again. I had seven people ahead of me.
