Still broke after 2nd maintenance

Character: Ephemeral Nights
World: Excalibur
when starting the instanced fight to "Victory in Peril" my character got stuck and has been unable to move ever since. been just standing there for 10 to 15 minutes already.

Character: Dyliandra D'eskianna
World: Marboro

Broken again this is beyond sad, 2 server downtimes for what? so u could laugh at everyone who spent money on this game?

Same thing on Moogle server.

I'm somewhat unimpressed with Square's capacity planning (or lack thereof)

Mahna Mahna
Leviathan

Instance servers broken, yet again. This is all too common of a problem, SE. We paid for this time. Beta is over. Fix it already.

I am getting the same thing: "A system error occurred during event movement."

Server: Gilgamesh
Character:Anri Hei

I can't move on because the quests/dutys needed are "Way down in the Hole" and "Ul'dah Most Wanted"

After many attempts, I was able to get into the duty for like...2 min. RIGHT before they shut it down for the second maintenance. Was excited after they started it back up, but like everyone else is saying, it's still not working.
I'm surprised they even shortened the time for when the servers would be offline.

=/ Really disappointed so far, didn't have NEARLY as many problems in Beta phase 3 and 4

No instanced quests work. "A system error occurred during event movement."

A system error occurred during event movement.
OR
Unable to connect to Duty Finder server. Please try again later.
OR
Hung black quest instance loading screen

Character: Stella Rapture
Server: Behemoth

There is a huge line on Leviathan formed to try and complete "Lord of Inferno" and no one is getting in.

Server: Leviathan
Character: Leedora Drae (as well as countless others)

I am in front of the Quest Lord of the Inferno and it keeps showing me the load symbol in the bottom right corner not loading the Duty to start it, this is getting really tiresome when the main quest you need to do to progress in the game does not allow you to continue since you guys didnt fix one damn thing after 2 huge downtimes. I am on Goblin server and there is like 20 players waiting to do it with nothing!!!!!!

This is a bit ridiculous, i mean they were relatively working fine in beta 3, pre-duty finder, makes me think that is the issue....Why did they link the duty finder even to the solo quest?

remember that time that there were NO PROBLEMS like this in phase 3 beta? and then remember that time when you guys initiated this duty / instance messaging system change and everything went to complete shit?

....

me too.

Yep having the same issue. I was able to do 1 duty instance and the rest are giving me the error message. Please address the issue promptly.

Cant use duty finder here either unavailable for everything :-/ ......... Still is this ever going to be fixed or forever stuck In limbo

Server moogle

in the betas and alpha the way we addressed this was by lining up and going one at a time it was a temporary measure but it seemed to work

This is the root of the problem. Forcing ALL instanced content to connect to the duty finder server was a terrible design choice. There's no reason for it in the case of solo quests or people who already have a full PT formed.

One of the first things you learn as a system administrator is to avoid single points of failure.

ATTENTION DEVS:

The Twin Adder Quest "The Company you Keep" is bugged. Please address it. You make dungeons and instanced quests apart of the main storyline. You halt progression by doing so. That is why people are more upset then usual. Need to fix it please!

Still can't enter instances. Lv10 class quests etc.

I'm still having problems with both instanced events in my journal, Axe in the Stone and Lurkers in the Grotto. Behemoth server.

Well to be honest, this is what I would call normal for a MMO release. Even if it's an early access release.
I rememer when WoW launched, they had huge issues aswell. More severe than this, and it took them several weeks to get it sorted out.
But it's getting close to a decade ago now so I guess people have forgotten stuff like that.

Yes it's annoying that you can't progress main story due to some quests require you to do duty finder things. But you can still gather people the old fashioned way to do dungeons. And you can do leve's with the allowences you've gotten so far. And there's fate's around the world to go to, crafting things, gathering things, hunting logs etc..
So stop whining about EVERYTHING is broken.

Is it a vital part that's broken? Probably yes, but it's not like you CAN'T play the game..

Enjoy what you can and the issues will get fixed sooner or later.

I'm the same I want to progress... my pj but I cant... plz fix this... I'm lvl 15 and I cant travel to other places... and get into a GC and other thinks... I'm getting bored only farming exp..

no.. YOU CANT!

ALL dungeons go through the same instance finder...you cannot walk into the instance anymore like phase 3...you go to the entrance and there is a light wall circle thing, and you have to queue through duty finder like a random group

A system error occurred during event movement.

I can`t progress further quest wise so this is really sad :( I wanted to tank some dungeons with my friends and husband on the Duty Finder but I can`t do that because I can`t unlock the dungeons via the quests. Please fix this... so far my enthusiasm for playing FFXIV ARR this weekend has been shattered ( they can play and I`m left behind :( )

This is absolutely ridiculous

You don't seem to realize that You cant pick up a crafting without completing the lvl 10 solo instance. You can't just run into a dungeon after forming a group, You need to go through the Duty Finder even if your a pre-made group.

are you serious ? 2 maintenances and still no fix ? this is beyond stupid

i know SE are working there but off but come on please fix this issue and fast before u lose fans or people because this game dont need more errors and game brakeing to the point of 1.0 !?! just please fix it! asap

its due to server over stress there are like 100k players all going through the one duty finder server trying to access instances some kinda stress

Here is how you fix this issue.

Shut down the Duty Finder until its fixed because its killed the entire game because the design.

Duty Finder should only find groups for players, it should not be built into single player instances which are apart of the story line.
Players should be able to enter the instance without the duty finder period. Stop forcing people to use the DF, if they have a group of 4 people and want to walk into the instance the DF should not pop up and require them to join.
Any instance content like Primals or Guildhest should be the same as instances were full groups can walk into the instance without being forced to QUEUE.

this is it.... reminds me of something though...oh...oh oh oh oh oh oh ... it reminds me of phase 3 ... before they broke it all

Having all these problems on early access, just wait till the actual Release day... Don't even bother trying to play for the 1st week.

Starting to look like 1.0 2 years ago more and more since p4 lol. I had 2 legacy players already quit the game today because they said they've seen this crap before from SE.

Yup still broken lol -.-

Im losing interest mainly because I would like to progress in my story and move on to get my dang classes and other cities. if I could get my conjurer class for my future scholar, I'd be able to keep busy until they fix this dumb problem. Two pointless maintenances and nothing accomplished.

I just want to play....

Well hopefully it will be fully fixed in a few weeks...this happens to MMOs all the time to varying degrees.

this is just dumb cant believe they would let this happen
