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

[Buffy]

Emergency Maint wut?

[Buffy]

That came out of nowhere too. Something is borked from last night's update

[Jem]

Is that emergency maint in 1hr 30?

[Carth]

SE spilt coffee on their servers again.

[Seravi Edalborez]

Is that emergency maint in 1hr 30?

30min

[Edelweiss]

Maybe the spaghetti code enabled duping in Alexander.

[Jem]

Oh what. Fuck you SE!

Shit day at work. A good friend tells me he's moving out of state in 2 days on my way home. Then get home and can't even play XIV. Awesome!

[Niiro]

Why do they just happen to have to do emergency maint during NA prime.

When was the last emergency maint at noon?

[Kiarax]

Sounds like it's time to go spend some time with your bro. I'm guessing someone found some pretty substantial exploit or something, they're usually pretty good about giving a bigger heads up than this so it must be something they feel needs fixed and fixed now if they're just springing it on us 30 minutes in advance.

Someone in my ls that I barely know claims the maint is to fix a rav 1 shot glitch.

If he was here I would! He's flying back into state right now. So that's for tomorrow night.

But yeah must be something pretty serious for them to spring it on us like this.

Emergency maint get fuckt

Agreed. If your friend is leaving in two days and XIV is down, best thing to do is hang out with that buddy.

Far as the exploit, it makes me curious what it is. Not only are they usually good with giving a further advanced notice, but they usually have their maintenance past midnight.

[Neon_Sea]

Got to squeeze in 2 Alex runs both where Strength tanks just keep getting murdered. Double Drk with Rav weapons, I assume they are not complete mouth breathers so Im sure some of it had to do with healers but they should not be ping ponging to dangerous levels the whole fight and get bopped by a doll and some gobs. You can say what you want about running str but if you go in to pugs in fights with multiple mobs/ mechanics you should probably run vit. It's not about there not being any move in the game that can one shot you, it's about giving the healer a gcd to get a heal off before you hit critical.

[Seravi Edalborez]

If I wasn't rich/crafty enough to have i150 melds, I would veer towards 3VIT/2STR or 4/1 acc specs on pickups I don't trust. I honestly feel uncomfortable in full VIT not just because of the bloated HP but I do sometimes feel a little heavier tug against my enmity when I'm not at least somewhat STR-y.

Someone was saying the maint because of getting like 200 clusters each time you hit an aetherial node. Someone posted a video on how to do it this morning on Reddit.

LOL

[Seravi Edalborez]

That's like, totally intentional though. It's just a good rotation on Epehemeral Nodes. Their whole point is just massive amounts of crystals.

And the reason SE acted quickly, because as always, someone posted it on the OFFICIAL FORUMS. I'm not mad about it, but...sometimes if you find a honeypot don't let alone stick their dick or w/e in it the second you find out. So far I assume it's the node and dupe glitch some reported. The Ravana one I heard about but I couldn't verify it.

Getting a lot is..but not 300 constantly.

[Seravi Edalborez]

It's 600 GP to get that much on one node. You can get that multiple times in the 4 hour window, sure. But you're giving up the opportunity cost of getting Dawnborne/Land/Sea/Earth Aethersand by doing this.

It's not unbalanced. It's combating the RMT market for crystals. Probably.

FFS if the maint really is for this...
