[Megathread] Final Fantasy XIV

[Myrwyss]

Do I need to open up all the guildheists for any MSQ? realize Ive only got up to lvl 30 ones opened.

Yes,unless they changed something you need to do 2 or 3 guildhests for quests in mordhona,but max one is 25 or 30.

That's enough, my highest one is "Annoy the Void - 30" and I've done MSQ.

Uuh I'd like to go and try out the new race, but afraid of queues.

[Veluren]

Well, it looks like Balmung's back up, now if only I could get through this goddamn 2002 error

The servers that have the new instanced zone feature to prevent server issues (most of them anyways). The irony is so real.

You re being really harsh on them imho :/ no matter how much you prepare you can never be fully sure if just how many people will hoard in at once! The fact that the people who did manage to log in have no lag issues is good enough for a sign of an ok launch!

[Aori]

All this hype and cool stuff makes me really wanna play again.

[Granyala]

Heheh, Early access = "server data not found".

Guess the old "never play on patch day" is still valid.

On a more happy note: I managed to get my sweet FX working with DX11. *wee*

I got in fine and was playing before I realised I hadn't actually applied my heavensward code.

Applied code - downloaded game client - tried to log in - keep getting "Error Connecting to Lobby Server".

*sadface*

[Cattleya]

I logged on in one go, used a Fantasia, logged out and..error connecting to lobby server.

Back in again now though.

Apart from getting one error after race changing my character and a queue of 18 people i've had no issues so far.
Its a world of change since i'm used to all the issues wow expac/patch launches gave over the last 6 years...

[Remilia]

Not too bad on my server.
Laggy with so many people clumped up in one area though.

I like how Astrologers are played. A lot of RNG cards though. :P
I'm not sure how I want to set up the cards on the controller. Hmmm...

[Deleted]

I just finished the last but 2 MSQ and got 2 110 items. Not sure if thats what happen previously. Well i got 4 items but 1 set for mnk other for mch

[Deleted]

Not had 1 issue. Not 1. I don't know how they did it but zero lag and no log in problems.

[Forumchibi]

I had one lobby error when I first logged in, and then a 21 person queue after that, but otherwise everything was great.

Sadly, I didn't like the new HW short male haircut as much as I thought I would. It looks great, but on my Hyur male in caster gear, especially with the earrings that I haven't glamoured off yet, he looked a little too girly for my tastes. I'll give it a try for a while and see if it grows on me more.

After the aesthetician, headed straight to the casino to get yesterday's cactpot cards - managed to get 10k on my second card!

Checked out the astrologian gear on the poetics and PvP vendors, not quite what I was expecting. I didn't realize it was a flat board on your back until drawn (I guess I can always hide them when not in-use if I wanted), they didn't look quite as impressive as I'd hoped. But again, just need to let it grow on me more. It'll be a while before I can even play that class anyway.

[Scufflegrit]

Doing the Machinist quest... I rather like the character of Joye. XD

[Nasriel]

My bro and I decided to check out the new classes before levelling our existing ones. He went with Machinist and I went with Astrologican. Havn't had much time to play so far sadly but from what I can see so far I like the new healing class. It looks like alot of fun. Those twirly cards on my weapon and that card picking animation really make me think of Persona. Especially with the talk of Arcana

Currently sitting in queue at the moment. 180 people, even with the long queues I normally don't have to wait longer than a few mins to get into the server. I race changed my Ninja alt to an Au'Ra so I'm gonna play with him for a while before I decide if I want to change my main from a Miq to an Au'ra. No point in doing now as I don't have my free Fantasia yet.

On the plus side I got the E-mail I was looking forward to. The "Your order has been shipped!" message. My credit card is looking sad after the CE put a large dent in it but oh well. It's worth it ^_^

[Fkiolaris]

Logged in Cerberus earlier on today. The queue was about 500 people but it took less than 10 minutes to get in. Also at that point the guildhest queue for dps was literally 1 second and the dungeon queue less than 1 minute. The server was mostly fine, even though we lost a person from the groups due to disconnect, plus there was some lag with some of the mob abilities. But in general I got in fine and it played fine for about 90 minutes that I tried.

Edit: talking about old content, not expansion content

[Forumchibi]

Has anyone seen the old soldiery gear available anywhere? It's not on the vendor anymore that I could tell. Obviously the stats aren't needed with poetics, but I would've wanted some of the pieces for glamour.

I didn't think to check the Calamity Salvager NPC though... maybe I'll try there when I get home.

Also, I notice the weapons are still listed as using Rowen Soldiery tokens rather than Poetics, but I don't think you can get those anymore...?

Yeah the hunt vendor

[Scufflegrit]

You can buy the Soldiery tokens from Auriana same as before, but under a different tab. They cost 65 Poetics IIRC.

DRK achievement mount is a panther. I got it right. XD

[Nasriel]

Wow I just queued Satasha, insta queue even though ti was a specific queue. This Early access has defiantely brought people back into the game which is good
