I'm using a 1070 and approaching the Raubahn dogpile makes my client really unstable and it will usually crash eventually. I never had issues displaying the max number of players before 4.0 though

Instability would probably be CPU related, not GPU. My 1060 has no problems, but my CPU gets under heavy load if I go over medium character display.

Palace of the Dead is completely dead again, disconnected me twice upon attempting to load it, both times resulting in huge queues. It started at 1,150 this time.

This. I guess I'll go try and grind FATEs for a while.

PotD might be faster but not if I have to deal with random disconnects and queues. Really wish the queue had a fast-track for recent disconnects.

Edit: And now I just tried to reconnect, immediately 90k, and kicked back to the queue. I get it SE, you don't want me in an instance right now. I'll do my best to get out if you'll let me.

My 1070 drops to 50ish fps at most - check your drivers. (performance should stay high because of culling)

Yeesh I'm glad I'm at a level where $15 doesn't make or break me. That's like coffee money for a week or so.

No, as I said, I literally could spend $15, but I'd be taking that from funds that are already set aside for other things, like new tires for my car and such I need to buy.

I just didn't plan out i'd need 45+15, but $45. There's a difference.

Made it past Raubahn, thought things would get better, but nope, there's just a handful of fetch quests and then you get another story battle. It's really astounding how badly they hosed this up.

It's probably your CPU yeah. I used to get nasty crashes when I was playing on a 980ti and an overclocked piece of poo poo CPU in crowded spots, but upgrading to a current gen CPU fixed it completely.

I hope it can stay like that until I manage to drag sam into the 60's but they will probably nerf it into the ground as soon as people start complaining

I never had stoneskin so I never did anything between pulls anyway, except maybe draw/spread/RR. But now I can do more things easier during combat, when things matter.

I made it through the first dungeon, and I was wondering if anyone could explain how to avoid the running around thing and the blue pools. Everything was easy enough that nobody knowing the mechanics was fine, but it would still be good to know for future reference.

In other news, the most recent error that booted me out of the game came from taking a screenshot, so the game is still finding new and exciting ways to gently caress up.

Retreat makes you run straight backwards, advance makes you run straight forward, angle yourself for either one so that you don't end up in a pool

Yeah. The fight isn't a joke. I don't remember what ilvl gear we had but it was a full set of lvl 63 green dungeon gear. We were hauling rear end on DPS and still we cutting it uncomfortably close on the DPS check.

You only need one failure on that DPS check to know if your group is in for a long series of retries all ending in failure.

The DPS check reminded me of a more extreme version of Bismarck's carapace.

Why is this so much worse than Heavenward's launch? Things should have gotten better not worse.

Heads should roll for this. Also we should get some extra days.

That makes a lot of sense. I guess actually paying attention to the names of abilities might help... I somehow got a comm as a dps despite not figuring that out.

That will just kill performance even more. there's a reason why we collectively moved to DX11. I mean, I could test it for science, but really, I tanked all of ICC10 on sub-15 FPS, I don't want to have to play my MMOs like that ever again.
