This is better than the servers just flat being down for the last 36 hours. But I agree that random crashes with the chance of progress would be preferable to what we've got right now.

Kenki is pretty much where all of the complexity is and even then it's just "how do i have enough to kaiten higanbana, use guren, and kaiten midare setsugekka"

8-Bit Scholar posted:Yeah I mean, most of the expansion is literally inaccessible to me. Bottom line, that's a poo poo situation. The really egregious thing is that they had the presence of mind to put the hub city in heavensward available all of 60 seconds after you start the expansion content. No muss, no fuss, just 2-3 cutscenes and suddenly an entire city, market, levequests, hunt marks, all at the player's fingertips well before they have to put any kind of strain on their servers. So this was a solved problem that they decided to backtrack on. Can you imagine what it would be like right now if Samurai and Red Mage started in the new city? There would have been practically nothing for people. If anything I hope they take this as a cautionary tale and all subsequent expansions front-load that kind of content like HW did before anyone gets anywhere near an instance. They should just assume that whatever solo instance they put in first is going to be a

FactsAreUseless posted:It's boring Fates are a million times more boring. Your remaining options for leveling as a dps do not exist, unless you intend to slow roll with beast tribe dailies or something. Fate scaling is kind of dumb, with a handful of players they're over fairly quick, with a ton of players they take forever and don't reward any more. A 50S RAYGUN posted:i don't know who honestly thinks server stability is better than this. i would rather have server instability than, you know, be stuck fifteen quests into the msq. Server stability was nice when I was leveling my RDM to 60.  Instability, presumably its anything like getting DC'd in the middle of a POTD / any time you try to do a duty and periodic world server crashes would not be much better then the wall.

sunken fleet posted:If I server transfer to low pop server can I beat the raubhan encounter? I'm going to go with, no, because the instances are shared among the data center. Also I make bad decisions. Queue into a dungeon and get a 90k error. 90 minutes later I can get back in, so I say I'll do frontlines instead. I'm back in to the queue -> 90k -> queue -> 90k (hour + now). I log on to an alt and it stills shows me as being online.

I'm not defending anything, I'm just saying there's people leveling right now that are happy with being able to level. I'm sure if taking the servers down would help them actually fix poo poo they would, but I think it might just be the case that it wouldn't solve anything at this juncture.

sunken fleet posted:If I server transfer to low pop server can I beat the raubhan encounter? If you server transfer you would need to consider the data centre and not a specific server. The issue is that all instances are grouped by data centre and not by server anymore, to accommodate cross-server DF and PF. So when they have limited slots for Raubahn's fight, those slots are shared between every server on your data centre - so right now, for example, Gilgamesh is loving over every tiny server in the Aether data centre. Sorry about that! Transferring to a tiny NA server won't help as long as one of it's bigger brothers in the same data centre is trying to run the instance too. If you want to do it, then you should be picking specifically an EU or JP data centre for this. And, frankly, you should get some kind of confirmation that servers on those centres are not running into this issue before you make the move.

Also I'm not quite desperate enough to continue the MSQ that I'd shell out for server transferring, just venting a bit  If this still hasn't been sorted out in a couple days I might consider it more seriously though.

The idea that server instability is better is a real dumb idea. That's a good way for a server to crash and lose data.

So doing any instance right now will probably 90k you. Had someone in my party unable to get off their mount, log off or even chat after logging back in. So far I've spent most of my time leveling fishing, if anyone has any tips that'd be great.

For when a boss jumps and you have nothing to do, you can gain some easy Kenki. Like how monks can get chakra on downtime.

So (end of MSQ speculation) I was wondering whether or not we would be facing Zenos right when we hit level 70 or if the liberation of Ala Mhigo was going to be dragged out through the content patches. Being that the quest achievement grants the title "Liberator" and Ala Mhigo is an instance (which wasn't listed in the E3 build), I guess we can assume that we do kill Zenos at the end of the 4.0 MSQ.
