  1. Honestly, this is a good problem to have. I can handle congestion knowing it’s because the game is still that awesome. Cheers to a fantastic group behind the scenes!

  2. Man, I love the devs behind this game. Imagine apologising for their game being too popular? And they do seem like they are genuinely wanting to fix things asap. I'm super excited for the game and all the new players, though this DOES make me a tad nervous about what it's going to be like when Endwalker releases o_o

  8. We don't deserve the FF14 dev team..

    I love how they went about this. People have been demanding answers to this issue for the last several weeks, and have been quite upset about it. SE didn't rush an answer out, they waited until they had concrete information. None of this "we're looking into it" lip service.

    I love the depth of information that they provided in this article, showing everybody that the solution isn't quite as easy as many might think it is.

    And atop of that, they are so humble as to apologize for this issue, and kindly ask players to log out when they aren't actively playing. They shouldn't need to do either of these things, but they felt like they needed to anyway, because they are sorry that this sudden influx is impacting players in any way, small or otherwise.

    This is, in my opinion, and ideal dev team. They genuinely love the game on the same level as the players themselves, and are constantly working with full transparency, WITH their playerbase, to evolve the game in a positive way.

  13. That semi-conductor shortage is no joke. When they say they can't throw money at it, they really mean it. The company I work for can't even get a decent supply of products right now for networking equipment because it's so backed up.

  17. Yoshida : Please be polite to your fellow players and log out when you're not playing the game
    Limsa AFKers : HOW DARE! <RAGE>

    Sometimes I really hate the selfishness and immaturity of some of the players of this game. Please people. No one cares about your slutty glam or your 24/7/365 dancing. If you're not actually PLAYING the game, just log out. Also… Square should just keep this as a permanent aspect of the game. Every other MMO I've played forces you out regardless of time of day or level of congestion, and FFXIV should be no different.

  22. I'm doing my part. After playing last year & catching up to the available story and getting a lot of my relic weapons for several jobs I put XIV down for the time being earlier this year. I do miss it but I ran of out content and didn't feel like leveling another job as everything was 50+ except BLU and something like half the classes were at cap if I recall. I've been thinking of catching back up but I think I'll wait until closer to the expansion.

    For now I couldn't be happier as I've finished Trails of Cold Steel 1-4, Ys IX, Godfall, Control, Persona 5 Strikers and I'm almost done with Tales of Vesperia. All while getting the platinum in Cyberpunk, The Last of Us II, Miles Morales, Outriders, Nier Replicant, Star Wars Fallen Order & Scarlett Nexus. 4 of the others games I'm close to platinum and just need to keep playing or replay. Not to mention I have several other RPGs and games I still need to play. Sadly I keep adding to the backlog by purchasing new games lol.

    In all seriousness XIV is a great MMO & I'm happy to see more and more people are jumping into Eorza. I tried getting a few friends into it last year but they all didn't last long. I think one was closing in on lvl cap with DRG but I don't think he got very far once he finished Heavensward.

  30. Hearing some real ball licking here:

    “Free trial cannot sit in que, almost indirectly making they get the starter addition” it’s on purpose come on now lol

    “Staggering log ins” tell me who’s going to be happy about that kind of practice come endwalker

    I’ll believe any of this as I see it, SE has a reputation for talking a lot and not accomplishing much

  31. Still waiting on my apology for GNB haveing next to no unique weapons compared to its other jobs, no 4 lords, no warring triad, no Alexander weapons and 1/3 ultimates, same applies to DNC
