it did at times, but because it went through POL it was far easier to knock your character offline even if you got stuck in "limbo", which was actually a reason for XIV being the way it is - since people hated the aspect of "if someone gets your info they can hijack your character and knock you offline."
Not to mention you can edit your session for XIV quite easily, it's no surprising it's actually worse in XIV despite being "newer technology."
been trying to log in all day getting 90002 or 10105. Think I logged out in the barracks for first time. Hopefully that is not the problem.
use free trial of wtfast and you should be able to get on
It's a wider problem. Nothing to do with your logout
Yep, america's shit infrastructure being shit as usual. Nothing really new. It's unfortunate but it's a routing issue. I log out in the barracks all the time.
FFXI: here's your relic armor. just sneak around and fight mobs way beyond your level for a chance at a key drop that you won't get and hunt for coffers that won't show up in a zone where if your sneak/invis drops for EVEN A SECOND you will die so many deaths.
FFXIV: here's your relic armor. no, seriously. here it is. and another set for level 50 because WHY NOT?
...I mean I'm not complaining that it's easier now, but god damn did I feel like I earned that RDM artifact gear back in the day :/
To be fair the HW Artifact was, initially, weekly locked with upgrades initially locked behind pepsiman.
So if you saw an AST in a dalamud red outfit then you know they've seen some shit.
That gear is worthless now anyway, just glamour stuff. In XI some artifact pieces were still relevant at 75
Hold onto your butts though, we might have actual relic gear coming in Stormblood! Enjoy grinding for a full set on top of that weapon! (Please Eureka.... be good!)
It sure as hell did. I wouldn't say all the time, but quite a few times I had to wait 5 minutes and/or log in to a mule first before I could play on my FFXI main again. I can still count the times I crashed on FFXIV on 1 hand and of those times I never got the message "currently logged in" like I would in FFXI.
Case in point.. RDM body and hat, but the hat more so, was staple for their entire career. But that was ok because RDM AF looked good. Same with SCH, AF and AF2 could be swapped between each other for quite some time. Some jobs though(BLM, with the hat being the only exception, IIRC) had to swap through many gears at 75.
The biggest difference is you could force yourself off in XI in a few ways, which was double-edged for obvious reasons. However I've personally never been stuck in limbo for 5-20min+ like i've had happen in XIV numerous times I get disconnected, even seen someone get stuck in limbo so badly we couldn't kick them out of the party because they "didn't exist", yet you can clearly see their name in the party menu and (???) on party bar.
XIV's setup is just really prone to serious breaks like that compared to XI. So yeah it happens in XI but in a different manner.
POL though, that is a different story.
As for complaint:
Motherfuckers need to realize, floor 51-100 is not 1-10, if you rush in and think you can face tank 8 mobs that actually hurt you..with no healer, you enjoy those deaths because I'm not touching anything and getting a KO count locking me out of 101-200 lol.
How is that a problem in the first place?
Need a fixed party to enter, why would you then make a party without a tank and/or healer?While floors up to 100 are related to the story of the Palace of the Dead, all floors after were created strictly as a challenge for players. For this reason, you cannot enter floors beyond 100 with a matched party.
Furthermore, players must meet the following requirements to challenge these floors:
Start from floor 1 or floor 51 with a fixed party and clear up to floor 100.
Party KO count must be zero.
Please be advised that the Party KO count will also increase in the event your party abandons the duty or logs out while inside the instance.
Also, even if you touched nothing, you're are probably still fucked. I am just assumming anything between abandon duty and log out also counts for the KO counter, like your scenario.
Is there anything viable for 100+?
I haven't really felt the need to post here much but damn, I was told today after the first boss of Aethero
"maybe, turn a cleaving boss away from ur grp. just a suggestion"
And I going mad here, what is he talking about? I admit I've never paid this guy much attention, he's such an incredibly shitty boss (chasing down targets as a melee isn't fun) but I've never seen him cleave before, even so I turn him away from thegroup on pull out of habit, then he starts jumping everywhere which is out of my hands, and then sometimes he does that massive conal aoe at the end.
I asked what attacks he was talking about:
"he just generally cleaves lol"
"his whole auto attacks"
Said the WHM and BLM
failed PotD at floor 100 with 3Dps & me healer. was fine until 50% until the amount of resurrectibg adds started slaughtering me. How do you stop them fromresurrecting?
