I downloaded the patch, then bought the expansion and logged back into expecting to just be able to play, but for some reason I need to download another patch that was about the same size? I can't seem to get anything more than 90-200kb/s too so it'll take all day at this rate.

They realized they hosed up after assuring everyone that asked that they'd send them out. I'm glad I just got it elsewhere and am sitting with 40 bucks in Amazon credit instead, but if you're still sitting on a pre-order from them you're stuck in limbo as they've now charged your account and can no longer cancel and go elsewhere.

Apparently they're manually sending out EA codes now, so lol if you don't have your's yet. Never buy from Amazon for launch.

From what I can tell, either Yes and no one's gotten them yet or they have completely screwed up and given out only one key, thinking it would work for both but it hasn't for anyone. Either way you'll be waiting.

Ever since our drop-off service, I never read a book.
There's always something else around, plus I owe the library nineteen bucks.
I'm sure this has come up already, but the thread's naturally moving pretty fast and I don't want to dig it back up: Is it just me or does new Barrage only last for a single move? Is that a bug or is it what "additional effects only apply once" is supposed to mean? (I assumed it referred to DOTs etc.) Because if it's intended that seems like a really big nerf compared to how much extra damage it used to add.

It makes your next GCD move hit 3 times. It's technically a nerf but it means it works under minuet now, and 3x Sidewinder is going to be wild.

Man I'm really impressed how well the game runs now, crazy how smooth it is.

It looks a lot better, too.

I'm so glad I got a new video card recently. I haven't gone below 45fps in Ishgard and there are scores of players standing around all of the quest NPCs.

The early access codes only went out to people who ordered physical copies, and they're in Extreme Damage Control over the digital ones after realizing they hosed up. Considering every time I asked the past few days they just told me to "go get your ea code from square" in more or less words, I happily obliged and cancelled my order.

Well I'm locked in with the Expansion they gave me, so... I guess I'll just hope this is all settled by the time I come back from vacation. I am not sitting on hold on the phone before I travel somewhere, that's dumb.

I entered my early access code on Mog Station, but I still don'thave the Heavensward registration code in general.

Mog Station recognizes the early access "Standard - FFXIV: Heavensward - Early Access Windows(R)". but the game wont' let me into Ishgard and Square support doens't open for another 3 hours apparently.

Any thoughts? I feel like this whole process has been entirely too convoluted.

I don't think anyone has the game codes proper yet. Have you taken the first MSQ in the little building in Dragonhead, where 2.55 ended?

My download was like this too, resetting Internet Explorer to defaults helped it a bit (since apparently thats what the launcher is based on). You''ll just have to keep an eye on it and restart the client when it stops. :(

The RoI on FATES seems really bad. They take forever and only give 8-16k xp for a gold as far as I can tell.

Also, Deliverance owns and Wrath doesn't give Parry even though the tooltip on the buff says it should.

EDIT: Actually it looks like Abandon isn't giving a crit bonus either, unless that sort of thing wouldn't show up on the stat screen for some reason.

Are you sure about that? I remember FATEs contributing way more, but I guess that was with Armory Buff.

Either way it's a waste of time. You can skip story cutscenes and get ~50k every 5-10 minutes, or you can do a Templeleve and get ~60k slightly slower.

Yeah FATES on your first job were actually kind of slow, they were things you did if your questing took you by them.
Or that stupid gap from 46-49 before Dungeons were worth doing for EXP.

if you are skipping the majority of the content to make a number go from 50-60 the most efficient method is to uninstall ff14 and just open the windows calculator

Then why in the gently caress do you even play this game? There are much less storyline oriented MMOs out there. Like I can't even think of a reason for just grinding your rear end off. Even the raids tie into the storyline.
