Shhh you can't say that. People will get upset.

We have people who are moaning like children then then look back at heavensward and its issues it had it's mighty different and half of the complainers must have not played heavensward early access.

exactly how i feel. I want my money back heh. People took time off of their busy time tables to play this game and spent it ALL WASTED ON RAUBAHN SINCE ALL THE NEW CONTENT IS LOCKED BEHIND HIM. Furious is an understatement. i HATE having my time wasted.

Unlike Stormblood EA, Heavensward EA I was actually able to progress past two levels. I know it's a hard concept to understand, but playing the game leads to a fun experience, not sitting at an npc and clicking them for 4 hours while alt tabbing to watch a show or play a second game.

I dont recall HW EA literally walling us from progress, 90002ing is at every turn etc etc. I remember HW EA clearly. I was with my friends, we were actually able to get past the first and second dungeons no issue.

We were all progressing and talking about how great and full the atmosphere was.

Anyone with the gall to say HW EA was as bad as this is a damn liar. Sure a minority was affected by some things probably but whole data centers getting DCd and walled off?

Did. Not. Happen.

Ya I did not see this sort of issue in HW EA with either the Sea of Clouds or the Coerthas Western Highlands MSQ solo instance.

FWIW: Raubahn is "fixed" for now.

But on my server, RR is so full it won't let anyone in so we can't progress ANYWAY

I log in to 4 people in zone, everyone seems to have gotten through and soon as I try I get 90k'd over and over.

I can't speak for other servers but on Jenova the issue cleared up after the emergency maint they did for susanoo. Did they fix both or odd coincidence? I don't know. Maybe other servers will see an improvement?

The rumor I heard is that one of the other servers on Primal data center went down briefly, and that relieved the pressure on the other servers, so that suddenly people were able to go through the wall. However, Raubhan's Roadbloack was back up within 45 minutes, so only the people on at 7:45 AM EST were able to take advantage. Pippin's Wall remained available even after Raubhan went back up.

So after last night when i finally finished getting rdm to 60, I was in the middle of doing some of the early sb quests and my game crashed. My first thought was FFS not another hour to 3 hour wait again but i was surprised as I logged back in instantly with no wait queue and I was actually able to see my character in the character select screen. I proceeded to do some more quests and got to the point where I was faced with this quest that you guys are having a lot of trouble with. I started the quest and got into the instance straight away with no wait time at all, however I skipped the cutscenes to avoid getting the 90k error as I've read a few people complaining about how the cutscenes are kicking people from the game and wanted to avoid that.

I honestly thought that the servers were perfectly fine last night before i went to bed but was met with dismay this afternoon when I try to log back into the game to be met with a rather large queue again.

Whoa, guess I got lucky then. I was rolling around in bed, unmotivated to get up when I got a message from someone in my static that they got in.. so I got up, passed Raubahn and Pippin without a problem, and Rhalgr's Reach seemed fine. I was hoping that was the magical roadblock clearing that EU/JP got. .__.

I can confirm that I don't know how it is now but it did for a while go down and people were able to get through the Cold Steel Duty actually a lot the huge group people went down very quickly that was standing around Raubahn. Saw someone it said it was working I went and after a few tries as able to get in and finish it on the third try. To those who still trying just keep at it and hopefully soon there will be another break and you'll be able to get in and finish it and if you're able to get in fine even now that's even better to hear.

The line is gone at the Sarg server, everybody is going through!

I was able to get through Raubahn this morning around 8:30am after about 5 minutes and I have a friend who just got in on her first try. I got stopped a Pippin though, I got 90K'ed 3 times and had to come in to work. I don't know if this means anything was fixed, I wish SE was more forthcoming with communication about the situation.

Praise be to Gilgamesh Crashing at least thats the Rumour. Aether Data center seems to be up and running got past Pipin only problem now is that you cant teleport to the Reach have to run to it from the congestion there to do MSQ.

Gilga didn't crash.

In Behemoth I had 90k errors while clicking on Pipin. Ended up being like that for a good 15 mins every time I selected him. I really didn't think I would be able to get in so when I alt+tab out of the game and came back. To my surprise I was actually in the instance.

yeah that's why i said Rumor it was around 3 or 4 hours ago and everyone in my Discord started Shouting that Gilgamesh Crashed and it allowed everyone to get past the Wall i did not even have a Huge Que to get on the game only had like 40 players in front of me at 8 am EST

Leviathan cleared up for about a half hour around that time too. Made it past Raubahn and all the way to Pipin before running into the wall again. Maybe tomorrow I'll get past Pipin.

Well, at least we're not stuck at Raubahn now.

No, that notice is from yesterday.

I just cleared Raubahn just now myself on Zalera. I can finally see th NPCs.

Zalera had some real good up time got through raubaun and pipin I was so greatful especially since I just moved from behemoth because it was way to crowded lol

THIS IS BULL, cause I went to bed I wont be able to make it past now, screw this ill just wait till Tuesday and if its like this doing launch day, im gonna unsub and just play WoW for awhile, ToS will be released.

I got by all of it earlier today. I'm on my way to Kugane. I hope the rest of you will be able to get there soon. I'm crossing my fingers for you!

I cleared it early last night, and everyone in my FC who was stuck cleared it very quickly this morning. It's nice seeing the new areas, and so populated besides!

Confirmed that Zalera had a big batch get through yesterday. Lots of people in Kugane today! Not sure if it was just a blip, or if the issue's fixed. =)

Nope, wall is there, errors all over the place.

From Hyperion, logged on 6 hrs ago to try it out, and it worked! Called my partner to wake him up so he can do his too, lol...

Finished the two "bottleneck" quests, along with instant DF queues.

Now we are in the Kugane!

Cheers,
D.

All I can tell you is that nobody is standing around on Zalera anymore. Everyone has gotten through.

Everyone here mad about not being able to advance while I'm just trying to lv my ninja and paladin in fates.

Assuming each has the population of Leviathan, which is a vast overestimation, that's 65,000 players in total who have reached Othard. There are just over 10 million players trying to play this game all at once. How many are trying to get into Stormblood content is unclear. Doing simple math, it's actually about 0.65% of players have made it to Othard. Keep in mind, that's being generous.

Where the hell did that over 10 million come from? That's not even remotely accurate.
