FFXIV Random Speculation/Question thread IV: I got beta inv but my 5 year old PC can't run it

Did they do feedback on retainers yet?

The selection process is a bit annoying. Every "next" is a new random and you can't go back to previous if you liked them better. + half of them the camera angle is straight on so all you can see is their chest. This might be a hueg galka retainer problem tho.

I don't think they're random. When I chose mine, it cycled through the same 4 or 5. They were even in the same order the second time through.

Unless you didn't narrow it down by race first, then I think it just cycled through every NPC, and you never got to the end for it to reset.

Is the only market ward available right now in the southern islands? Has anyone been able to access the northern island area?

[GameDragon]

If they did, they wouldn't be having maintenances on each world to "further investigate the issue" now would they?

Hopefully they'll get this shit under control soon though. Not that I'd mind a release date delay...

Very true, but I'm refering to the post they made today.

We are happy to announced that the previously announced login congestion has eased and players should now be able to login properly.

We apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused.

What level were you guys when you started beating some of the harder stuff like Puks, Dodos, Roselings etc. I'm pugilist 9, physical 12 and seem to still be having trouble with rats :/ There's something really off about the difficulty levels, because a bunch of stuff it tells me is light blue, kills me in a couple hits. Not to mention, the same plain rats I've been fighting have gotten harder over the past few levels, somehow. Something weird about level scaling.

"An error has occured on the game server.

The general consensus is that if this happens to you your character is fucked and is gone forever. Cool game S-E.

[Shnaklaha]

where did you hear that? Cause unfortunately i'm getting that message, but I was just assuming it was because i was on SHadowlord and tried to log on early.

[Koff99]

Pretty sure it's just a rumor.

The general consensus is full of shit, we've logged on our characters after error and it worked fine.

I got that error when all of this started at 10 PM and eventually logged on just fine.

[GavinBandura]

Oh god damn it, I am getting the timeout error again when I am trying to get on. Anyone else having this problem?

[shukudai]

Back to login problems, login queues that time out, etc.

[Hyan]

JP primetime has begun from the sounds of it.

[Kurp]

Have any of the servers finished their maintenance and come back online?

[kyosak]

Shadowlord and Garland yeah.
I've been trying to log into Shadowlord though and it's been queue -> error -> queue -> error -> queue, etc.

[viperlasson]

garland went back up, in login queue

[GavinBandura]

This is really stupid, nothing has been resolved.

[Kurp]

I've haven't been able to log-in yet so I was thinking of making a character on one of those servers to try, but it doesn't seem like anything changed post-maintenance.

[GameDragon]

I crashed once and haven't been able to log in for three hours now. Maintenance just started on my server, so hopefully that'll fix it.

[Arcana]

damn lobby server crashes, this sucks i cant even get logged into the line for more than 5mins.
