FFXIV Random Complaint Thread II: DPS can't count to potato

[Fievel]

It's 90

[Yuri-G]

He recently hit 50. Dunno if he meets the ilvl requirements yet or not.

this is correct. ilvl 73 and climbing.

[Kiarax]

Have you ran all the level 50 dungeons? I wouldn't waste too much time on ST now, get the sold bonus from all the 2.1-2.5 story and level 50 dungeons and grab the cheapest sold stuff (right side and cheap left stuff like belt/head/hands/feet) to get your ilvl up asap.

[Fiye]

If you got spare gil from the MSQ and don't mind spending it. Make friends with a 4* crafter.

Just do research on which parts are cheapest to make. Don't buy gear straight off the MB and don't find a crafter advertising their services on the PF.

[Patriarch]

servers are imploding

[agrotc]

Yeah, Just got around to finishing up CT for weekly and 6+ people kept D/Cing pretty frequently. Caused a couple of wipes as most of them were in the same party.

[Twilight Sky]

Nice to know the DC I got isn't Comcast being Comcast.

[Qeomash]

Yeah, perfect run during a good T12 farm...we all DC as the phase should push to Bennu phase. Get 5th Bennu, we all die before healers come back.

wait wait wait, 2.1-2.5 gives soldiery? am I reading this right?

I'm doing pretty well on ilvl - lucky drops in Syrcus helped. I'm fully-outfitted in Scylla with a few pieces of upgraded Daystar. going to start WoD tonight and run that for more left-side drops while upgrading right-side with soldiery and oils of time. oh and obviously I've got my Book of Diamonds.

Also, have you done Coil at all yet? Turns 1 and Turns 4 are basically faceroll now; you'll have less trouble with them than you will ST to be honest. i90 accessories.

Basically all the hard mode dungeons that you unlock from 2.1 to 2.5 storyline will give lots of soldiery.

[Yuri-G]

huh. that's neat. wish I had known that earlier!

I'm skipping coil for now; I can gear left side up to 120 from WoD (130 with upgrades!) and right side up to 110 from soldiery and oils. I have no interest in your feeble ilvl 90 accessories, puny human! lol

Pretty much this. Also I'd get used to T4. It's really helpful when you go after your relic.

[gaira]

anyone else had near unplayable lag last few days? i'm talking 5-10 spikes until it finally syncs, but i never actually disconnect. pretty much not worth logging on aside from solo stuff.

[octopus]

Just fine here.

[Yuri-G]

I've had a few moments. taking damage that doesn't alter my health bar for a few seconds, that sort of thing. nothing that made the game unplayable.

8pm-10pm PST the last three nights I've had lag spikes like what you're describing. 5-10 seconds of everyone standing still, then it catches up and is good for ~2sec before going into another 5-10 seconds of standing still.

Only happens when I'm in duty finder and only lasts a few minutes at a time.

Edit: Happened with and without pingzapper, made absolutely no difference.

[Silenka]

Currently my game is fine but all zones are taking 4x as long to load into than normal. Super annoying. I can't say I haven't had a couple of minor lag spikes in the past week, but nothing that rendered the game unplayable.

[Hellfury]

Been having several episodes of lag bubbles the last 2-3 days, crazy annoying, other people I ran into in the DF/on my server have had the same issues.

[Twilight Sky]

Had it last week but that was Comcast and their bullshit throttling. Bitching at them solved it.
