Ocatamai posted:Maybe releasing your hot new game on a Friday is not the best of ideas. Maybe actually thinking about server load when designing your questlines would be the biggest help. I played HW on launch day and don't recall any issues at all. This is just straight up buffoonery on their part. They also hosed up the PS4 UI and NPC text is ridiculously small, and clearly no one tested the pro mode because it makes all text tiny as poo poo and makes me wonder if they even bothered checking it or they have 80 inch tvs.

I'm really not liking the Dragoon changes to Geirskogul. With the simple change of making it no longer reduce the botd timer, suddenly the whole thing has no point to it. Just bake the extra damage into the jumps, turn the 4th hits into regular parts of the combos, and make Geirskogul a regular ogcd cause botd is going to have 100% uptime anyway.

The increase/decrease got replaced with building up to an empowered Geirskogul you fire off a few times, before everything resets.

http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/news/detail/791aac7206bf8db4b353b687c3221440dd7b8156 Congestion at the solo instance is intentional so the servers don't explode. So it's either people have endless crashes or we get line-ups spanning half of the Fringe, damned if they do and damned if they don't. Only time is gonna fix it.

That's only a thing at level 70 though, and even then you don't put any thought into it as that happens naturally as you use your ogcds, unless Mirage Dive reduces your timer which I don't see.

Pay attention to the enemy medal counts and dog pile the guys with a lot. Icons next to their name/class label represent a count thresholds. Avoid attacking people with one coin icons. Prioritize people with bags and treasure chest icons. Protect your people with the same icons.

Here, I have a solution for you: if you are feeling this pissy, why don't you just start playing on Tuesday at Stormblood's official launch instead of four days early, which was a bonus, not something you paid for?

Mordiceius posted:You sure are pissy today. As much as I think strong bird is overreacting, it's not like the servers outside of Stormblood New Stuff are terribly stable. People are getting disconnected from Palace all the time, and the dreaded 90k doesn't discriminate between Raubahn's Wild Ride or Sastasha. Like, it doesn't bother me personally since I'm still at work, but I think it's at least a little bit fair to be upset with the general state of things.

It's OK for people to be upset about a blatantly bad design decision, on top of blatantly bad infrastructure planning. If they don't get this fixed soon, they've hosed lots of people out of something they were promised, on top of wasting a lot of people's time.

I was whining about it in FC chat, but how come now that they've suddenly got a really cool PVP system, they no longer allow for pre-made parties in the feast?! Like, am I missing something here? It was removed in the 4.0 patch.

Well, either way, this is much worse than HW was. The game is basically unplayable if you want to do any sort of instanced content. PoTD is overloaded and kicking people left and right. I guess if I want to try and actually get anything done, I can just try and push through the story. If it's just one instance, maybe I can get it done. It'd mean putting my SAM leveling on the back burner, but otherwise I'm just not gonna play the game until it's actually in a state to be played.
