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

[Dotsudoku]

Spoiler: show

still confused as to what the problem is. Is there some sort of direct connection between the subjectmatter and the NPC effected? Just seems like it could apply to any number of characters

[Silenka]

I can't recall ever seeing this loading screen before - because my character data couldn't even be retrieved "due to server congestion", when I tried to log on I got this one:



Aether is fucked emergency maint.

I've never seen it happen to my world/data center, only others lol

[Fiye]

Nah it was going downhill. Was in an A1S farm and DF hit the fan an hour ago.

[The Stig]

So what did that title say lol

The amount of QQ/panic over it is amazing.

Papalymo's final witness.

He stops a surge of aetheric light from a summon (likely omega) by doing the louislox thing. Killing him in the process.

or possibly using him as a puppet until we fight him as a raid boss

If I'm correct that it's the one they're referring to, it says - and this may be a story spoiler for you so you might not wanna read it? -

Papalymo's Final Witness

[edit] beaten D:

I mean, the QQ is legit this time.

Spoiler: show

It's akin to the title of the Half-Blood Prince being "Harry Potter and Oh By the Way, Dumbledore Dies"

[The Stig]

I don't mind the spoilers, no prob lol. Thanks for sharing it with me before it gets adjusted.

I wonder what the Japanese title is, since he specifies the localization as the problematic one.

Japanese, German and French read "The Star Pupil" so it's pretty much just an English client problem.

[Fiye]

The English title is far more fitting though.

[Silenka]

Yeah I'm not digging the original title. I guess it can be tough to think of something good though... I wonder if they'll just change it to the original title.

[Kaisha]

The English title is far more fitting though.

Even then, I find it dumb for something like a title to have differences across languages given the multicultural nature of the game for the four main supported languages. Translate them, don't localize.

Same goes for enemy names.

[Alistaire]

Funny they didn't fix it with this maintenance...I remember when someone whined about "The Crying Game" title that got changed fast.

[Zumi]

Is it just me or do new dungeons bring out the worst DPS in existence.

In both of the new dungeons I had a nin and drg. They were both different people in each run. In both runs the Nin had a ilvl 200 weapon and the drg had a 260 relic. In both runs I would pull 2 trash packs or whatever I could before I would hit a wall. Neither the Nin or Drg would use aoe and single targeted everything. Each run was around 50 min to finish when it should take around 15. And to top all that off they never use the limit break. I wish tanks had a damage dealing limit break cause I would actually use it as soon as I can.

SE really needs to put a weapon restriction when considering item level for entering dungeons. Those Ninjas with 200 weapons just trigger me.

[Fondue]

never queue alone!

[Worm]

"Let's throw" really needs to be added to the canned messages in Feast.

Aether just shit itself again. Functional server software is too much to ask for.

[Scythiroth]

Glad I decided to give this game a shot yesterday or the day before on Aether and now this is two nights in a row the servers have died lol. IT'S A SIGN!

Spoiler: show

I mostly just want to catch up on story and stuff. Might work on more achievements and things too... I'm such a casual now in MMOs, being an adult sucks.

especially with a family/significant other taking all your time.
On the other hand, I think I'm doing my health a lot of favors not spending 12+ hours a day gaming like back when I was a teen lol.

Aether? So basically Balmung and Giglamesh crashing the datacenter due to the new dungeons/24 man raid.

[Silenka]

Yesterday it crapped out, they cited the cause as their server software, and today the same thing has happened again. Kicks off a bunch of people - me included - and then doesn't let them back on, indefinitely says there's a queue to get on (when there's really not).
