Seriously, just do other poo poo in the meantime or hammer the NPC. Chances are they'll need to reset servers to fix this issue eventually anyway.

Can confirm still busted on Brynhildir. Are they even trying to do something about it?

Or... wait, does it work in the Japan servers? I have a mind to say that they gonna take the problem nice and slow for us in NA and maybe EU if Japan is working fine. Yep, I said it, I think they don't very much care for us if their Japan audience is doing fine.

If its also not working on the Japan side then what the heck are you doing, SE?! Get to fixing this!

I also think the false hope situation of clicking on a duty that fails over and over is a big part of the problem too. If there was a massive queue or even just a notice that it's flat out broken, a lot of people would have done other things. If people spammed it for a couple (or more) hours with the expectation that they'd get in though, of course they're upset.

This goon gets it. If they just put people in a long rear end queue or took the servers down entirely people would be less pissed than they're getting by clicking on an NPC for 6 hours, and it doesn't help that some people DO get in so the hope is there.

It takes a lot of bravery to forum post, these days, due to the many and aggressive fanbois who verbally abuse anyone who has anything even remotely negative to say. And yet, you blatant jerks do not get to silence us, not even one of us. Because we pay for the game as well and are entitled to our opinions. Have fun attacking people, glad I could help brighten your day.

As for the nonsense you lot keep reposting about rocky launches, I have played over 40 MMOs in the last 25 years, stretching back to MUDs and I can't think of a single MMO content launch that had this degree of initial content block. Crashing, bugs, sure all of that...but this was something special.

I do not remember ARR or HW being this bad with side quests, do 1-3 MSQ and get flooded with 4-10 side quests. Please for the love of this game, on next expac cut back on the side quests and give MSQ and needed side quests (ones with aether winds or item rewards) more exp.

Edit: Oh and no more chained side quests. This is Final Fantasy NOT Everquest.

Oh, honestly, I saw people complaining about the main plot earlier and by and large I understand why people were cooler on it than HW but I have to admit I forgave a lot because this was basically Suikoden 6: Final Fantasy XIV, almost bluntly so. They did a good job with the character beats and the general "liberation" tone and the feeling that you're building up an army that I forgave the actual core plot being pretty basic. It scratched my itch for a Suikoden game better than 3 of the last 4 Suikoden games so I'll excuse a lot for that. I was genuinely pleased for the entire expansion.

Suikoden 5 was pretty good. though 2 is king and probably the best JRPG ever made. I got some serious Grasslands vibes from the Steppe too.

For Monks, the indignities never end


Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuullshit, the old PvP style was way better, because you had to actually think about what you were doing and which skills and cooldowns you used, instead of mashing the autocombo button until either you or the other guy mashing his own autocombo button keels over dead. The only people new PvP is better for is people who somehow failed to grasp that MMOs, in fact, sometimes expect you to press several - and sometimes even many! - buttons

You're wrong.

Feast is better in almost all scenarios except losing super fast
Frontlines are almost always worse, something like a 40% nerf if you come in third now, which averages out to a 15-20% nerf depending on game length and if you win or lose more often.

Glad I got the Garo mount from Frontlines while queues were still instant, I guess.

In addition to what was already said, the races can interbreed, and the resulting kid has some characteristics of both patents. The only examples I can think of are Hilda (elezan/Hyur with less pointy elf ears), the guy in the Ala mhigan resistance (I thiiiink he was just mid/highlander though), and a princess from An Ra history whose parents were hyur and au ra and she was born with barely any scales.

Supposedly this mixing is really looked down upon, like Hilda has clearly been shunned for her heritage and there's the gay hyur/catboy couple who talk about their love being forbidden. But at the same time basically every time sexy stuff is brought up by npcs it's stuff like catgirls dancing for mixed race crowds (who are clearly Horned Up) or the much less savory lalafell ladies aboard the Shatasha crew with no lalafell men in sight. In other words, who knows. Also alphy <3 krile :333

It's supposed to be a like a 99% chance of the kid of a mixed race just popping out as whatever the mother is, and a 1% chance of it having traits of both actually, which explains why they're so rare/looked down upon.

As much as I enjoy the changes to PVP, opening the floodgates to people who will openly not try to win or afk just to get quick exp is really infuriating.
