Constant DCing/30002 error for the past 90 minutes-- anyone else? Had no problems before this today.

**CrstyCptSteveWitherspoon** · 2010-12-24 15:33

So... seems there's a lot of RMT bots now. Anywhere there's a spot that pops 3+ mobs in a small area they set up shop. Always a conjurer that's like 10 levels above the optimal level for that spot, buffs with shock spikes/protect, spams spirit dart and radiance. Always crap gear, no accessories, usually no ls, the constant head turning. We're plauged yet again!

9k lightning shards in 1 day? That's 27k wind/earth shards and you still need more? O_O

There are a lot of RMT bots but they generally stay out of everyone's business. They just sit in the caves and are forced to wait on respawns. The people who need flax for linen and want to lazily sit in a cave all day while only killing every once in awhile are the only ones being hurt by them right now. I still report them on principle but they're not a big deal.

Since nothing is monopolizable at the moment other than NM drops there's little they can do to ruin the game right now. My top jobs are only rank 26 so I dunno if they're affecting higher levels at all.

I have roughly 10k iron squares to go through, that's 5k synths at 7x2 shards on average, so something like 70k shards.

^ At some point that stops becoming a game and more of a second job.

**Sephiroth** · 2010-12-25 23:24

Well, no one forces us to grind crafts in the way we do. You could take it slow and rank up making nothing but gear and mats for gear.

**miokomioko** · 2010-12-26 04:38

It has got to the point where my ability recasts almost never display properly and they all constantly look like they are ready to use at all times as long as I have the TP. It's extremely annoying and completely hinders my fighting when I have to be constantly guessing whether Second Wind is back up or not and repeatedly hitting abilities because I didn't notice the "You can't use ___ at this time" scroll by. This is a really bad glitch and needs to be fixed immediately.

**CrstyCptSteveWitherspoon** · 2010-12-26 09:33

Found a glitch where if you're killed as a mage with your tranquility/exhaltation on cooldown, it's instantly boosted to (I think) a 20 min cool down(or at least above 10 mins in all situation, possibly doubles the current timer?). Also sick of this damn stamina bug I keep getting. Randomly I'll loose all stamina when I first use an ability and have to wait for it to build back up to use said ability. Secondly stamina build up with seem to just cut in half (speed wise) for 10s or so randomly as well. Used to have the timer problem myself on lancer, but I've been playing mages lately and haven't noticed it.

Also had a laugh when I dinged 20. Killing dodos at 19 I was getting 115+ sp per kill. As soon as I hit 20 the same mobs gave 52-58 sp each.

What I'd like to see in the next patch; Purchasable anima - 6~ anima you can buy for 2-5k each every leve reset, current system is fine only if you stay in one area but that's not the whole game?; SP increase by a flat rate of 50% for all mobs 20+ at the very least; Copy and paste XI's LFG system over so people can actually party, this includes lfg flag and basic /sea all rank 20-22 etc.function; SP/XP chains; Item search needs to show if an item you're searching for is in other wards by a little star next to the ward name on the list -this way you don't have to walk through them all randomly looking for stars; Weapon durability needs to decay slower; Guild marks need to be obtainable ON ANY CLASS when doing leves not just the class that the marks are being offered for, rank 20 leves are pointless for me atm because all I get are guild mark offers for rank 10 classes I'm not exping. Probably forgot a few, but personally if these changes were implemented the game would be much better and aside from bug fixes, probable sp tweaks, and content, would almost be enjoyable(especially if parties were easy/worth doing).

**Sephiroth** · 2010-12-26 13:20

The necro leves are stupid. You set the stars high enough to get decent SP, then you kill the mobs that spawn easily. Then the necro spawns after you collect all the pages and you're dead in seconds. You have to go lower the stars just for those mobs if you don't want to die. I can understand SE wanting to pop stronger mobs, but they should be challenging rather than just impossible on the number of stars you killed everything else easily.

**Cureslime** · 2010-12-26 17:14

I think 5 purchasable anima per reset for 3k each would be great.

**kisada** · 2010-12-26 18:53

i wouldn't mind some gl's that give anima as a reward

Trade 1 Crystal or 10 Shards for 1 anima would be a good trade. Just make it an NPC near all the adventurer's guild and no one will complain about anima ever again.

**The Q** · 2010-12-26 22:40

I'd like to be able to pay to ride a Chocobo. Or for teleports. I was quite a fan of how XI's transportation system turned out. Shame to see it stripped down to nothing in this game.

**CrstyCptSteveWitherspoon** · 2010-12-26 23:18

Yea I was hoping to see warp or teleport- return. No such luck.

**miokomioko** · 2010-12-27 00:47

We will eventually have Airships and Chocobos. It's just a matter of time. Anima is already very manageable with the last change, even with daily play. I'm expecting most complaints about Anima to go away once people can Chocobo out to their leves and afk-Airship between cities. Complete reliance on Anima is what's making it look bad.

Keyboard UI is coming too, its just a matter of time. A properly-functioning economy is coming too, just a matter of time.

SE's returns on their massive investment is coming too. Its just a matter of time. Throngs of players are coming eventually. Its just a matter of time.

Be patient, everyone.

**miokomioko** · 2010-12-27 04:16

I wish it was only a matter of time before you stopped posting sarcastic, pointless strawman bullshit by pulling one thing I said out of context.

**Achitophel** · 2010-12-27 18:51

He doesn't like the game, and wants to make sure everyone knows it.

**The Q** · 2010-12-27 18:59

Still yet the main complaint I have with the game currently are the players. Mainly the shitty no-lifers who would defend this game as being "just fine" as it is. The ones who say "GO BACK TO WOW CASUALFAG!!!" if you don't like the ridiculous grind. That claim there is no lack of content. I hate these people. I really do.

Not talking about anyone in particular here or on here in general. Mainly the other popular forums.

Also, while old, I feel this is relevant: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNm-t9eWSvA

**Cureslime** · 2010-12-27 21:39

Thankfully the criticism of the game has been so harsh that S-E has no choice but to swallow its pride and do things sensibly. As recent as the last ward renaming they were still trying to weasel out of adding a search feature because that went against their original plans. Without complainers we'd still be without search and we'd still probably even have alpha combat.

The game can still succeed if they keep up the good post-launch work they've done. They really need to focus on rank 20-40 content and flavor quests now. I salute all complainers and urge them to continue complaining because if they don't we will never get a good game.
