Final Fantasy XIV: Stormblood - June 20 2017

[Shenrien]

I was telling a friend, "watch the expansion story line will be like 20 minutes long like every other patch", well... I wasn't wrong.

Are you autistic?

[Jem]

Early Access is really that bad? I mean you're basically saying it's better not to have it

[Hioki]

Are you autistic?

What a strong insult! 2kool4me! Not like the rest of the expansion even exists when your stuck behind an MSQ. Might as well be a new Diadem. It was made in jest as most patches we have had were about 15-20 minutes in MSQ. If that wasn't obvious.

[Shenrien]

k so you are, thanks for confirming.

[Hioki]

so just throwing pot shots while waiting on cold steel?

We are FFXIV's unpaid beta-tester team. Paying to beta test? o_o

Are the Stormblood pre-order items worth it and if so where's the best place to order from? I tried to find it through the Mogstation but couldn't.

[Dotsudoku]

As I've expressed already, if you feel like leveling(50-60 or 61+), you probably wouldn't even notice. Their planning with regard to MSQ progression is hilariously bad, but I don't regret early access in the least

Fite me

it's all cosmetic so this is a matter of personal opinion. greenmangaming has it for like $30 or so if you go for standard, got the digital CE for $44 with an additional code. amazon also has 20% off for preorders but I'm not sure if they would still guarantee release day delivery at this point.

I feel the worst for people who can't even do this. The first primal glitch locking them out of their characters entirely with no way of fixing it is fucking brutal, and SE basically told them to just "wait several days for a patch". Hope they get reimbursed their game time because that's fucking dumb.

[Jem]

Assuming the cockblock was the solo instance with Cold Steel in it, I got in the instance at the first try and there was hardly any around Raubahn when I got there (probably like 6 or 7 people). Guess it has eased up by me being a day behind

[Sho]

Hmm so is this instanced thing a Data Center problem or a World problem?

[Obsidian]

It's not really a "problem" in the sense I think you're implying. The same thing happened when 2.0 launched, and 3.0. Too many people requesting instances and Square just doesn't have the capacity to make that many concurrent instances.

[Buffy]

Pretty sure Data Center. Feels like your character is getting kicked when you get handed off from the world instance to the duty instance. Once you are in either you are fine, but the transfer is lagging out. They probably don't have enough servers handling all the handoffs and it's overwhelmed. Although in this day of on-demand auto-scaling, I don't even understand how that is possible.

[Greedouw]

Not only can I not progress the storyline, I can't even enter POTD...

fuck

[Dotsudoku]

Yeahhh I got booted zoning into FL, and have dropped connection with the server when I reach the end of the login queue about five times now

I mentioned being uneffected too many times

[AlastorTGN]

So if Omega Savage turns out to be like Creator, how many people drop the game? A lot of job dissatisfaction floating around right now and it seems people are holding on for more mechanical complexity (for some reason).

[Greedouw]

20ish minutes later and my character is still stuck in the POTD

If I ever get in, I guess I'll just fate grind

[Fiye]

I had a shitton of satisfactions with SAM until I hit 62 and Kenki started building up a lot faster.

I'll wait until 70 to decide whether or not the job is garbo.

[Buffy]

So maybe FATES are the only way to exp till some of the instance demand dies down. Errg.
