Hey, after all the expansion hype I decided to try this game again.
Last time I played I tried dragoon till ~35 and found the gameplay rather boring.

Is there a melee with a more interesting (WoW-esque) rotation? Priorities and procs or something like that? Would go for a caster too, but a melee with a cool playstyle would be best.

Every time I yank a jawbone from a skull and ram it into an eyesocket, I know I'm building a better future.

i've been using this autohotkey script for over 6 hours on my desktop, no luck. Jesus Christ Square.

Ninja is about keeping up a couple of buffs and debuffs, and also has a very satisfying combo system to throw out big moves every 40 seconds or so.
Monk is a lot of linked moves and you have to keep like four or five plates spinning in the air at all times but it can throw out a ton of damage if you get into your groove.

Yeah, think something happened - either SE implemented some fixes or other realms on the data center went down. Cold Steel worked with no drama, and when I was done there were 2/3rds fewer folks around Raubahn. Rhaelgr's Reach is packed with folks doing fetch quests.

*edit - yep, 9000xs at Pipin. Awesome.

They didn't implement any fixes, chances are they just turned off the limiter or relaxed it.

You can now load the instances, get disconnected with 90006, then be unable to get back into the game with 90002. Progress I guess. What a shitshow.

10,000 YEARS WASN'T ENOUGH LURKING
If you get a 90k in an instance it keeps 90k-ing you because it thinks you were just a normal disconnect from an instance and it is trying to reunite you with your lost party/instance. It may a coincidence but logging into (and waiting on the queue) on another character and then doing it again for main character worked for me.

I know this is just going to draw out more white knighting, but this is worse than WoD launch was. WoD was as bad a situation, but it was resolved much more quickly.

Christ, if the mobs in raubahn's duty weren't so insanely inflated I probably could of made it past pipin before the instances broke again.

WoD took a few days, but Blizzard consistently performed rolling restarts.

Are they actually that inflated? I've seen some bitching in shout and yell, but figured people were just bein' grumpy about the wait.

Probably didn't help that I was an ast, and probably I should of focused on the robot more instead of the incidental mobs, but christ it took me like 10 minutes to do. Never have I thought "Dammit why couldn't I draw an ewer?" before.

Just gotta keep walking down that road.
I had almost forgotten how liberating a feeling it is to unlock flight after having been stuck to the ground for so long in a zone, especially in a place like Yanxia where you have to deal with annoying height differences. Really makes you realize just how huge the zones are too.

Also a guy in the Ruby Sea was asking for a guide to the aether currents earlier, they apparently didn't know about the aether compass and had gone through the entirety of Heavensward without using it.

Yeah, I don't remember having this much trouble during WoD, but maybe I just got lucky in dodging the problems.

Rab is just banishing me to the phantom zone now... got a long load then kicked out. All attempts to re-login for awhile are met with a 90002.

It's fine, all MMOs ever had these issues on launch days. Especially in the past 10 years!

WoD's thing was not being able to get into your Garrison instance right? I don't remember that being an issue for more than a couple hours and I think I brute forced my way through that in less than that but I'm old and my memory isn't great.

All your friends and foes,

wod's thing was absurdly bad server stability and quests that bugged out and would not complete: one for your garrison, one with ogres on horde side. blizzard quickly hotfixed to skip both quests with auto completes. i don't think squeenix has the tech to do something similar, their current method seems to be raising the instance cap randomly for about an hour once every day now, and shutting the instance back off as soon as server problems start to crop up.

There's only one thing in the mountains that leaves a track like this. The creature of legend that roams the Timberline. My people named him Sasquatch. You call him... Bigfoot.
WOD's thing was not being able to build your garrison if anyone else tried to click on the things at the same time, and then yeah, the garrison instance going down repeatedly for days and days.

Legion had a similar point of failure, but it was just for a world boss summon that almost no one cared about at launch, not...main story anything.
