Brushfire Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Instance servers are fucked up right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malaki-LEGEND.sys Posted August 24, 2013 Author Share Posted August 24, 2013 Not even lung surgery can keep me from early access to the game! Hit me up on Adamantoise-soon-to-be-Hyperion, folks! Ariadne Marduk! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thin Crust Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Started a new character this morning and I got him to level 11 so far. Sambo is filming an episode of his "Let's Play" series tonight and I just wanted something decent to wear to the occasion. I'll be leveling up a lot slower from now on that's for sure. In the meantime, what does everyone think about the crafting system? There are a lot of recipes preloaded onto your class but does it include the end game high end gear? Or is there some sort of quest to get them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe_cam Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Hey folks, I know I'm not a regular here but I know a good number of OCR folk from MAGFest and years past and if anybody is on Ultros server and wants to meet up, just message Joe Cam. Looking for some XIV company! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Hyral Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 I am on Siren.. have a level 11 Lancer. I like the game, but this playing with nobody thing isn't all that great. Regretting buying it now honestly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theory of N Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 I just bought it. It sucks because I have so many friends that play but they're scattered throughout different servers. Can we update the first post to have like a list of people and what server they're on or something? I'm probably jumping on Cactuar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Native Jovian Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 I'm on Cactuar as well, as Juren Jovian. We should probably make a linkshell or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Jobson Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 You guys need to get in touch with the OP and have them update the main thread with a list of players and what servers they are on. @Theory of N - I know exactly what you mean. I was all excited for Guild Wars 2 last year and played for a month or so but I had ZERO IRL friends who wanted to play that game, and everyone from OCR always changed servers so there was only a few of us on. For me, I feel it's absolutely necessary to play with friends especially in MMOs, otherwise I just simply lose interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thin Crust Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 (edited) I'm on Masamune. There is no way I'm moving from my group because we are that awesome. Come join us if you want. The Distant World Free Company is always open. I was going to wait until the "Let's Play" episode released but I can't hide it anymore. Everyone behold, my linkshell. I'll post the video when it's available. http://assets.enjin.com/wall_embed_images/1377447706_ffxiv_08242013_215202.png P.S. Our chat room was full at 50 so we raised the cap to 75 and maxed out. Raised it again to 90 and maxed out. Raised it again to 120 and it was still full for this event. Our website has now over 1,100 members strong. We only ask that you keep things friendly, help out others when they ask, and just basically be a nice guy. People come to us in droves because of the incredible community we have developed and I wouldn't change it for anything.

Theory of N Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 I can't stand huge groups like that. I much prefer a smaller tight-knit group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Native Jovian Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 I spent like ten minutes this evening trying to get into the server queue for Cactuar. Not spent ten minutes in the queue; spent ten minutes trying to get into the queue. I just got a "the server is full, go away" message. At this rate, between login being fucked for a few days, and then the instance servers being fucked for a day or so, and then the servers getting hammered so hard that I couldn't even get in line to wait to log in, it's probably for the best that I have other plans for the actual launch tomorrow. I can't stand huge groups like that. I much prefer a smaller tight-knit group. Also this. I'd much, much rather roll with 10 or 20 people I know than 1,100 people who just happen to be on the same website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Hyral Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 I was going to try and join Cactuar for some company. But I guess the rest of the world is already in line to hang out with the legendary Brushfire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Hyral Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Don't you have to be dead in order to be legendary? Or really Rare? You could just have a legacy or an occult following. Or just have exploits that are something beyond mortal comprehension. Or just have a name like Brushfire. Says so right here on the "How to be a legend" checklist.

Thin Crust Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Live action trailer. Wasn't too impressed with it though. What did you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe_cam Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 See, I initially joined Ultros in the beta because I love that little bastard. In the beta I bumped into Sixto by absolute chance in Ultros who told me that there was supposedly going to be an OCR group based in Ultros so I stuck with that. I've since been unable to track him down in there and pretty much every other friend I have is on other servers and there is no world transfer service yet. So, yay. Also, it's not like I can ever log the hell in anyways. I post this not to whore out my writing, but only because I'm sure you guys will enjoy where the article is coming from: http://www.savecontinue.com/2013/08/in-depth-hands-on-impressions-with-final-fantasy-xiv-a-realm-reborn/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thin Crust Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Here it is folks, this is the moment I wanted to show all of you. This was filmed last week on Saturday. We waited for 3 hours for him to do all his filming to get to this point. Hope you're amazed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thin Crust Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Further Server and System Improvements As we continue to address server issues, I would like to follow up on my previous announcement regarding the measures being taken to improve this situation. With the maintenance completed on September 4, we have increased the number of concurrent connections allowed across all Worlds by roughly 60,000 users. For the time being, however, we believe it necessary to maintain login and character creation restrictions, even though they have inconvenienced many of our players. With the exception of recently added Worlds, each World can now support 7,300 to 7,800 simultaneous logins. Further increasing this limit runs the risk of causing severe lag in all zones. We will continue monitoring server loads to ensure a stable playing environment as we move forward with our plans. Following the increase in server capacity, we reached 325,000 simultaneous logins, and we anticipate that this number will only increase. Therefore, as our development and operations teams continue to work towards a full-scale upgrade of our servers and systems in order to accommodate more players, we will continue our suspension of digital sales of the game. During this time, we will be monitoring connections during peak times for each data center. Once we have confirmed that all Worlds and the zones within them are stable, we will continue to monitor server loads and populations in real time as we prepare to upgrade our servers and make other extensive improvements. The following is a general outline of our major goals to improve overall server and system stability. Specific details will be announced as soon as they are available. 1. Substantially increase the number of Worlds. 2. Create a third duty finder group to further alleviate server stress. 3. Increase the number of servers used for instances. Even with the increased capacity of all Worlds, the number of simultaneous logins is still reaching the limit. Because increasing server capacity further would result in significant stress to individual zones, frequent restrictions on character creation have been necessary for the most heavily populated Worlds. Furthermore, since simply adding new Worlds would heavily stress the Duty Finder system, a significant increase to the number of Worlds will be accompanied by the creation of a third Duty Finder group for each data center. We will also increase the number of servers used for instances. We believe these steps will allow for a marked increase in the number of concurrent connections our servers can maintain. With that said, we have also noticed that many players are leaving their characters idle in game due to the login restrictions we have set in place to maintain server stability. In response to requests to address this issue, we are working to implement a feature that will automatically log out characters that are idle for a prolonged period of time. The above improvements are scheduled to be implemented next week. We will make an announcement at the beginning of next week with further details. 4. Commence World transfer service. In addition to our above plans to improve server stability, we will begin service for World transfers. Players who were unable to join their desired World due to character creation restrictions will now be able to move to a World of their choosing. We realize many players would like to play together with their friends, and preparations for the World transfer service are a top priority. We are also working towards resuming digital sales for those who had planned to purchase the game but were unable to do so. 5. Begin large-scale improvements for long term operations. Next year will see the PlayStation 4 release and another influx of players. In order to ensure the best experience for all of our customers and customers-to-be, we are carefully monitoring our operations as we continue planning extensive changes to improve the game. Again, we sincerely apologize for any inconveniences caused by the current restrictions to logins, character creation, and digital sales. I assure you that our entire company is working tirelessly to improve your gaming experience, and we hope we can count on your continued support.

Sixto Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 i am reeeeally enjoying it so far, but i'm at the point where i'm going from gladiator to paladin, and i feel like i'm going to have to redo 30 levels doing the same thing. 30 levels of sword and shield all over again, with no story quest...kind of painful when i think about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modus Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 The very definition of a tank is monotony. That's why I could never do those classes and respect the crap out of people who do go through with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixto Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 oh my mistake. apparently, paladin will inherit my gladiator levels, so i will be a level 30 paladin, not level 1. eggsellent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
