2 days now I've been stuck at 94% on this update. I have 60+ connections, but 0 upload/download.... what the fuck SE?

http://www.ffxivcore.com/topic/12719...-instructions/ wash, rinse, and repeat. You could've been playing the same day you got your reg key. I hope SE fixes their stupid downloader before the retail version comes out >_>.

Edit: Right after I typed this, I went to login and today's download 2010.09.05.2000 froze at 94.6% after downloading most of it within a minute. SE GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER!

Not a bug report, but check out my new sig ...

If there's a ton of this stuff in the game, I'm gonna stick around for a bit longer

lol yeah I read that too, I find the translation of FFXIV so far to be interesting to say the least.

Re: Official Unofficial Bugs, Thoughts, and Suggestions

If we were to compare FFXI to other MMOs in terms of players and the desire to explore, FFXI's community would be a laughing stock.

Which other MMOs? Comparing a WoW player's level of exploration to an FFXI player's would be idiotic for numerous reasons, mainly the lack of meaningful death penalty and the ability to freely navigate around the zones without invisible walls hampering your progress. Now, if you compared FFXI players with EQ players you're far more likely to see a correlation. So please, get off your high horse and stop taking snide shots at FFXI players.

Re: Official Unofficial Bugs, Thoughts, and Suggestions

Don't be ridiculous. Having full zone maps in FFXI never stopped anyone from exploring. No in-game map is going to tell me "The view at this beach in Buburimu is gorgeous at night" or "You should really check out this part of Lufaise." FFXI's maps left out a lot of hidden tunnels or areas as well.

Players that wanted to explore and travel in FFXI were an immensely rare breed of player and they only got more rare when SE made the mistake of creating hub areas and warps to go with them. And even back in the CoP and RoZ days once the well-worn path was established - even if there were a few alternative EXP camps - hardly anyone ever deviated from what was known.

If we were to compare FFXI to other MMOs in terms of players and the desire to explore, FFXI's community would be a laughing stock.

Really, though, the best way to do it is to compromise. You start with no map and the system auto-maps areas for you. Oldie but a goodie. This way to complete your map, you have to explore, but from that point forward you have a permanent map.

That's much better than FFXI's willy-nilly approach. You get some starter maps, some maps you have to buy, others you have to quest, some are found in treasure chests. All that's a bit too tedious.

Re: Official Unofficial Bugs, Thoughts, and Suggestions

its your weapon its talking about if I think

Might be bugged then, I had the npc fix everything that was repairable, but it didn't go away.

EDIT: Just logged back in again and it dropped back to yellow. When I logged off earlier it was red. My weapon was at 89% so I'm thinking it probablyy wasn't that.

Re: Official Unofficial Bugs, Thoughts, and Suggestions

Large picture, needs spoiler tags

I don't read that language SE... Apparently it had something to do with my armor needing repaired, but after I got it repaired by the NPC it didn't go away. So I am wondering if that has something to do with the fatigue system. Before I logged off, it turned into a red color and said "Heavy Damage".

Re: Official Unofficial Bugs, Thoughts, and Suggestions

Exploration is the process so that people don't get lost anymore and discover where they are and stuff.
You can't "explore" if you already know where's what.

Sigh, I guess some people need mmorpgs to hold them by the hand these days, mew

So those maps show everything there is to know about the region and not just the general terrain layout information? That sounds very convenient.

For a second there I thought it was just another XI map with missleading info about the area you where in, and nothing more.

Exploring and getting lost are not the same thing.

Anyway, I think this game need more monsters. There is too little around. Also where the heck is the conjurer guild? I can't find it in all 3 city.

Re: Official Unofficial Bugs, Thoughts, and Suggestions

Yea, in Gridania's opening missions one of the NPCs opens a random map and says "Go here", and then puts a marker there. The player has no idea what map that is, how to get there, or even what direction it's in. After a little prodding, the NPC linkpearl tells you to go South, but that's about it.
