Edit: Well. This isn't a great page-topper.adhuin posted:Me with Paladin changes: Literally nothing changed for my rotation. Our non-Requiescat oGCDs now have the same 30 second cooldown, instead of being offset from each other. This, tied with us already having a rotation that doesn't fit nicely into Fight or Flight's 60 second cooldown has messed up my ability to keep them constantly rolling. It's weird that such a small change has been giving me headaches. At level 90 I'm also fighting my instinct to apply my DoT after spell spam instead of immediately going into Atonement spam, so that's not helping. cheetah7071 posted:I think a true fix to the 2002 issue probably requires rewriting the login client to the point where by the time they have it ready, the queues won't be an issue anymore. Right now it has the baffling decision for the client to close when it can't contact the server, rather than trying again. That just didn't matter before so there was no need to fix it (though I kind of judge them for not anticipating the problem). Unfortunately, it's just not the kind of thing they can deploy in a hotfix. Maybe it'll show up in 6.1? I think Error 2002 closing the client makes some sense, though I'm just guessing at whether it's an intended feature or just a side effect. When working correctly, Error 2002 pops up when there's too many people trying to access the login servers. However, rather than thinking of it as people, view it instead as a certain number of connections being attempted in a certain timeframe. YoshiP can ask the players to please wait before trying again when congestion happens, but everyone knows that only a part of the user base will. So, without restriction, a player can input back-to-back connection attempts. Currently, that would be roughly an attempt every second or two. Forcing the player to log back in and go through loading everything drastically reduces that to once every 10-30 seconds (or longer). There are absolutely other ways to handle this, all of which take time, resources and potentially can't be implemented outside of certain framework (i.e. a full patch instead of a hotfix). The worst would be adding a queue to join the queue. That's just frustrating, and where would those connection requests sit? It's just another server, something already in short supply, doing what the current servers can't handle, not to mention another point of failure in a system that's already making people angry when it struggles. A more sensible solution would be building a cooldown into the client that prevents you from trying again, forcing players to wait without making them completely start over. This could be automated, but I immediately thought of a couple reasons it shouldn't be (players that otherwise decide to do something else and lessen the load may instead stick around contributing to it; being an automated system not tracked by their servers, and thus can't be regulated if there's problems, it might drastically worsen the issue in certain circumstances). Unfortunately, neither of those options would fix their current problem of Error 2002 kicking people out mid-queue. That's genuinely something they have never seen before, and couldn't have because there's never been so many people trying to play. I'm not a coding specialist of any degree, so I don't really know what's possible on a short timeframe, but in the long run to prevent this happening for the next major release I could see them changing Error 2002. Keep it around with some tweaks to work exactly as it is currently intended to, but add a new error that the current client sees when a connection is cut during the queue and have it not close the client. I wouldn't have it automatically try to reconnect, except maybe with a strictly limited number of attempts, because having it keep trying endlessly could cause overload issues. This would almost certainly require major changes to both the server connection structure and client procedures, so it probably couldn't be implemented without a major patch and certainly couldn't without some serious testing to avoid other problems popping up. Gearhead posted:There is a possibility left open that maybe he just collapsed. Or maybe he died. Maybe we'll see him again. Maybe we won't. One way or another, I don't expect to see him again any time soon. I'm reasonably certain he's dead, unless they pull another fake out. They very specifically fill your entire screen with his torso, and you can see him breathing. And then he stops, completely still, dead.

Regalingualius posted:I was meaning more in the sense of trying to just up and leave him without fighting while trying to tell him to get a loving hobby that isn’t you I would have liked this. From Zodiark on, the WoL's attitude towards Zenos has been "I don't even think about you." I'd have loved to continue that with a dialog choice along the lines of. "No, it isn't so. (Turn and walk away)" Though I think it's valid they don't give you that because you can't take the risk of leaving him alive. homeless snail posted:I'm not going to stop playing FF14 but if 6.1 came out and was total garbage, like offensively bad, I wouldn't feel too bad about pretending Endwalker is the end of it. The story would have been a perfectly acceptable ending, but I don't think I could stop here because they don't give you any real closure with the core Scions. A celebration dinner or the discussions about breaking up the Scions where you could talk to them about what you've been through would have been nice. Cutting straight from the ship returning to "The Scions are beaking up, (sort of, for now) go talk to everyone for a few seconds to see where they're going (and some future plot hooks)" doesn't really cut it. Now that I think of it, not showing the Heroes' Welcome in Sharlayan or any kind of celebration feels like something missing regardless.

89 dungeon: man, really went through the wringer in every way possible I know some folks say to do this and the trial with Trusts (just catching my breath before trusting the trial because it feels like I have to) but the experience with other players for the dungeon ended up being epic in its own right. It's like the game knew I was going to do this tonight because earlier in roulettes I got both Castrum and Syrcus tower lol. So I enjoyed the callback to Livia... and then all the fallen friends... I had to Pay my Respects to all of them. But it was the final fight that really went into overdrive. The healer and DPS died at like 75% HP because we didn't know that "Right" meant his right, lol. But the tank wanted to keep going so we did, and I learned the fight pretty quickly. Because of Syrcus Tower when he started casting Curtain Call I was like "This is Unix... I know this!" Except I was waiting for a pillar to hide behind and there was nothing as the castbar kept going up... When Shiva/Ysayle started circling around the arena I legit started tearing up goddamn. I could have done without the Asahi stuff afterward though lol, a bit anticlimactic

I'd be shocked, and a little disappointed, if you ever saw all the scions in the same place again outside of extremely extraordinary circumstances, like in FF11 when they bring back Lion for a fun cameo.

One thing I've noticed is missing from the English translation (probably because it'd sound kind of funny if translated literally) is that Estinien constantly refers to the WoL as "partner" (like almost every time he speaks to you).Captain Oblivious posted:Please don’t be weird. I wasn't being serious, that's why I put "proof" in quotes. It's funny how the relationships between the WoL and the other characters can seem different even though they're all behaving the exact same regardless of your WoL's characteristics.

Oh yeah I got Holos on Sage, I figured it would be like Stardiver where it looks badass when you use it but if you try to gpose with it you find out pretty much immediately that it's one giant smear frame and you look ridiculous. As it turns out, Holos just makes your dude do a kickass magical girl pose for the entire animation:

All of y’all wanting to not get into a fist fight with out best friend. smdh. I’m just glad they finally gave me the big goku energy answer the last time right before the fight. Also, Zenos has the echo. Even though it’s a stolen echo. He only dies if he wants to die. The bigger issue is recovering his body.

Has anyone bought anything from the Mogstore during this level of congestion? Usually anytime I buy something just exiting the game fully and relogging back in makes the item appear (hitting the button on the mailbox feels like a placebo and never has worked) but I bought something this morning and haven't gotten my item in like an hour, logging in and out does nothing. Was hoping to get it before the servers hit 6k queue or whatever but I guess that's not happening.

I saw the healer eat poo poo at the same time I did, then y'all duo'd the boss from like 59%. Warriors have incredible sustain now. I went ahead and did the trial afterward in a trust, took three tries before I realized the edge of the arena outright kills you if you touch it. I only did one trust in ShB, I wish the NPCs had more voiced lines, or they said their one line less often. It was really noticable in the 87 (?) dungeon, the one in zone 5.
