FFXIV Random Complaint Thread: Look forward to it

[Guitarman]

I really hate I can't play this yet. Got a 3-day weekend for the first time in ever and I was hoping to sit and marathon this :/

[Churchill]

Go to bed, wake up and get logged in 10 hours from now.

Nobody cried harder than you about D3, so I don't know anymore, haha.

lol

Half complaint, half praise.

Doing some quests and randomly get a 90000. It's my first or second one. Have been logged in for over 24 hours so it was a bit of a shock.

Needed to log off soon anyway cause I was procrastinating about getting in the shower/shaving and seeing gf.

90000: saving people's relationship since 3102.

[blythe]

I got cocky and logged out this morning before work, forgetting the long weekend was starting.

Kills me that so many people logged in right now are just sitting there AFK doing the same thing - we desperately need an AFK boot, if even just temporarily until we get server improvements

People are using scripts to auto-login, they'll use scripts to keep from logging out as well. However those numbers are far less than the average person logging in and staying in so it will still have some effect.

[Ksandra]

you know, what was/is ffxi's server capacity?

Somehow I feel like it wasn't that much smaller, and yet people (myself included) would be logged in 24/7 for like bazaaring shit.

Heh, I hadn't heard that. But I'm not surprised people are botting the login screen already - biggest grind of the game so far.

Good question... when I'm logged in, it doesn't feel like the towns/areas are clogged with people. It actually seems like a really healthy population, comparable to FFXI any time right after an expansion. Seems like more people around than 1.0, just because the areas aren't ridiculously big. I think they're just being extremely conservative with the cap so people don't complain about a laggy experience.

[Ares]

I know they introduced a cap in XI during besieged times, i think it was 700 for the zone. But knowing that , I don't think ffxi could support 700 in every zone in the game. In 06 XI had around 200-300k logging in per day as of what wiki said.

Tying every aspect of the game to the main story is just terrible. They should have kept everything separate so players can choose what they want to participate in.

Story is the least important aspect to me in MMO's. Game play, game world, and community are way more important.

[For_Example]

When you spent 2hrs trying to log in and the Now Loading screen is on for like 30seconds, you think you are gonna make it.... and you get a 1017..

This so much. Although I don't agree on the value of good story, I hate that I keep getting cock blocked from doing stuff with friends because I haven't made it far enough in the story. Specific example short time ago someone in ls needed a tank for Brayflox, couldn't join though without going through 2 more hours of feeding peoples cats, getting their mail, etc.

glanced at the first page on this thread:

http://www.bluegartr.com/threads/501...er-Populations

someone mentions seeing 4747 people online. But ya maybe that's the problem though is that for us it's all in the same few zones, whereas ffxi is a lot more spread out.


complaint: crafting quests.

If you've done them, you know...you know.

[Niiro]

I did the first few CUL ones while getting Hasty Hand (only DoH I didn't level), what's wrong with them?

[Akiyama]

I've done crafting quests and I'm afraid I don't know? D: I do know I love them. <3 Some (not sure if you can tell before you accept them), you can repeat..which is SO good. Getting three HQ turn-in quests in one leve is..amazing.

One complaint I do have as of late is it seems like there's still some invisible barriers you just can't jump over that you'd normally think you can. Like.. I'm all 'Gonna make a cool entrance yeee..nope. Wall." Haha. It's so ._. sometimes!

lvl 45 has you hq three lvl 45ish items, which is made worse by the fact that most of the mats you need people sell in stacks of 99 on the ah for like 99k in total.

And then gotta hq the lvl 50 one.

[edit] I am referring to the class quests btw not leve

This makes total sense then, because oh god some of these requirements the class quests have you do are agonizing even at 20/25 ;;

Anybody else not able to get NA/EU list to load? Have restarted launcher like 5 times and spent 10 or so minutes retrying from title screen.
