Soooooooo, with all the server congestion, the Duty Finder shit itself. Most of it is back up and running but solo instances related to the MSQ are still broken and can't be started. There's a solo instance at lvl 60 in The Fringes so everyone is completely locked out of the MSQ at that point until it gets fixed.

The DPS increase is real. Ravana went down in what felt like almost twice faster.

Ian · June 16, 2017, 03:24:39 PM

The closest sanctuary we get to Ala Mhigo is the Ala Mhigan Quarter right outside the city.

The actual city itself, the giant ass city they've been hyping up since October, is just a 4-man dungeon....

Doma is literally the same, the only "Hub" sanctuaries are Rhalger's Reach and Kugane. No hidden areas, no special place like Idyllshire, that's it. Story better significantly make up for this but so as I can't progress, I can't make any predictions.

I did a thing

Ian · June 16, 2017, 06:16:48 PM

I've been trying to get into the duty since 7am.

Everyone is all like "Do something else like RDM or SAM!" and I totally would, but I don't want to waste rested EXP so I'm kind of stuck into only doing MSQ....

Luciana · June 16, 2017, 06:32:55 PM

Gotta wait until they either fix it or until like 3am.

Ian · June 16, 2017, 07:38:31 PM

Went to go get dinner, stuck a weight on top of the W key, parked myself in a corner and kept my character running in a corner so I wouldn't get auto-kicked lol.

Also, I was gonna say before I left. I saw your video on >Reddit. Hope you got many upboatttttssss.

Ásgeirr · June 16, 2017, 08:28:23 PM

I quite enjoyed getting kicked multiple times trying to get to Nidhogg

Ian · June 16, 2017, 08:32:27 PM

>Everyone on 4chan and Reddit say it's fixed
>I just got back on after sitting in a 1,700 queue after being D/Ced
>Try it again
>D/C's me again and I'm sitting at a 3k queue

If it happens again I'm going to blow my brains out.

Sums up today.

Ian · June 16, 2017, 09:17:46 PM

Yeah, I'm really pissed off right now. I'm waiting in queue again but I'm not trying the duty for another two-three hours. I'm just gonna keep my character idle until either 1am-2am or I see enough proof that the duty is no longer causing problems (as in, no one is huddled around Rabauhn).

I didn't even get to that part. I kept getting kicked. The entire game shut off. I made it as far as Rhalgar's Reach. I'm about to go to bed. I'll try tomorrow.

Ian · June 16, 2017, 11:33:41 PM

Well, I'm done for the night, first day of Stormblood and I have accomplished fuck all.

Heavensward early access also had solo instances early on, once in Abalathia's Spine, and another in the Western Highlands, and that was with PS3 support and the supposed "obsolete" servers, never gave us this issue during its early access.

They made a line? That's great. Reminds me of The Division on launch and people formed a line there. Mine are just all crowded around.

Luciana · June 16, 2017, 11:42:18 PM

So ONE positive came from not being able to advance the story.

I've learned how to play as Red Mage and Samurai and attuned my hotbars to fit what I feel is best.

Hows Red Mage? I like the idea of spellblades, does it deliver?

Ian · June 17, 2017, 09:17:39 AM

36 hours later and still not fixed. Everyone who somehow got past Rabahn is now congested at Pipin's instance too.

Once you know what to do, it's actually really fun and flashy as heck.

Ásgeirr · June 17, 2017, 05:13:26 PM

Just as im about to get the dragon lancers set, single instances shit themselves again.

I want to die

Ian · June 18, 2017, 12:03:02 AM

Still fucking broken....

Ian · June 18, 2017, 12:17:40 AM

This is what my Stormblood Early Access time has come to....

Ásgeirr · June 18, 2017, 09:40:43 AM

Raubahn and Pipin confirmed for hardest raid

Luciana · June 18, 2017, 05:13:19 PM

Luciana · June 18, 2017, 08:41:02 PM

Finally after a year, that damn mask is useful.

I really like not Japan.

Luciana · June 18, 2017, 08:47:33 PM

Wish you were here card

I don't really take time to just "look" at environments enough in this game. It's soothing to just sit back and go a bit slower, not even doing the main story atm

Ian · June 19, 2017, 02:43:38 AM

The Ruby Sea is kind of boring, even the super Jenga tower isn't all that impressive. I'm just waiting until I can get yo Yanxia. Kugane was pretty cool though, it's especially cool at night.

Yotsuyu is a good girl, she dindu nuffin.

And I can't stress just how fucking BADASS that Garlean Anthem is:

YouTube

Gatortag · June 19, 2017, 09:46:20 AM

Garleans are cool. 5.0 when? Only 2 more years...
