Ainsley McTree posted:How bad is the game doing today? Is it just raubahn/pipin ex that's making things impossible, or are constant disconnects happening too? At least for me, I wasnt disconnecting anymore this morning and ran roulettes just fine but Raubahn is still a wall. (Pipin was just fine for me on Adamantoise)

Minrad posted:I mean, okay, vanilla FFXIV was dog poo poo but it at least had storyline quests you could in theory do if you got enough levels I mean, he's right. This is an unacceptable gently caress up on their part, but you really haven't seen many MMO launches if you think this is the Worst One Ever. Both statements are true. This whole situation would be a lot better if you reached the Foundations equivalent sooner in Stormblood, thus allowing people to spread out and pursue varied interests. Hunts, crafting, gathering etc.

The EU FC on Omega has purchased a house, so if you're playing there and haven't joined them yet, you can now apply at Plot 39, 3rd Ward Subdivision, Lavender Beds (Gridania)

LITERALLY MY FETISH posted:One thing I really hope they take away from all of this: Don't make solo instances for MSQ for leveling content anymore, or at the very least make them much much much later in the story. Ambushing random magitek armors should not be a bottleneck for story, jfc. All they needed to do is make a queue for the solo instances and it would've been fine. Annoying, but fine. For some reason, they opted to not do that and now...

Is there any reason they can't just, like, allocate more solo instance resources to the Raubahn/Pippin instances temporarily? That really seems like something that should be possible. I guess it probably isn't because it seems like a real obvious fix, just take some of the resources for early ARR solo instances and use them for the Stormblood ones until the rush dies down, something like that. I dunno. It's probably not possible. But jesus.

i mean, they already *said* there are more solo instances available. they're just not letting people use them. i don't know how they arrived at whatever dismally low number of solo instances they decided would be stable, but whether by design or by incompetence its not nearly enough.

Reene posted:The bottleneck is just SB content, right? Yes. I haven't had any troubles today with 2.x and HW instances on Excalibur--it's just the bottleneck early in the Stormblood content right now. Well, and really, really long queues for dungeons/duties if you're DPS.

Anarchy Online. It would crash after being in a large zone (like the starting cities) for about twenty seconds, and that's if you were lucky enough not to get kicked back to login first.

KoB posted:FInally got through Rauban Extreme and there was no crowd at Pipin. Benefits of a smaller server i guess. Odin seems to have calmed down now, I only say about a half-dozen people standing by Raubahn and I'm not experiencing intermittent crashes in Rhalgr's Reach or problems with any other instanced content any more. Login queues are still nasty though.

Isn't exactly a great rebuttal to "I'm mad that I'm not able to get to see the content in this expansion." It's the proper rebuttal to "this is worse than 1.0" though I get being frustrated over not being able to access the new content, I am too. The story is by far my favorite part of the game. But the melodrama is really silly.

I can deal with being cockblocked by Elder Primal Raubahn, I'll just level other stuff in the interim. ... maybe, 'cause the leveling queue says "30+ minutes" and I hope to hell it's wrong. Also I enjoyed the first Stormblood black mage quest because right out of the gate it puts you in combat and I haven't played black mage in months. Took a few tries but I guess it taught me how to black mage again.

Level 60 Red Mage took all day and Palace of the Dead sucks a lot but now I have to decide what I should play primarily between RDM, MNK and WHM. I'm maybe leaning RDM but I'm not totally sure. I kind of want to stay loyal to my old main from day one, WHM though I've not really tried it in SB at all yet to see how things are now.
