Still broke after 2nd maintenance

I can't even get in anymore. Excalibur is full and they don't even have a queue.

People comparing this start to 1.0 have clearly forgotten what 1.0 was like ... this early-start (not even the actual start of service yet) may not be smooth, but you are forgetting one thing , when the game actually does work ... there will be stuff to do in the game!

Go get a beer, masturbate, whatever, just relax.

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.

Unfortulately, I can't progress the story as the storyline quest is instanced, and I can't gather because I have to complete my level 10 class quest first... which is instanced. x_x Can't do leves either (as I've yet to unlock them, as I need to complete my story quest). For those who have already done these, there's still much to do. I've mainly just been going through my hunting log.

Meh, but the problem will be fixed soon and all of this will be history :P

still no word from Se i see this is one pathetic way to treat there players

people keep saying o well other mmos have trouble too. maybe BUT other mmos have not had 2 MAJOR MMO launches Before

im getting really impatient. im getting really over this game. this shouldnt be this difficult. Apparently SE didnt put alot of thought or effort into population with NA EU players? Or even doing this duty finder bullcrap. You talk to the entrance NPC and it pulls up Duty Finder. No back up plans. //headdesk. I have a full party and been in reserve instance for 10 minutes... and made several attempts over the past couple hours. Friends dont know if theyll be able to because its unverified.

Same here, dead in the water.... Time to uninstall and move on.

Resolved by force quitting.

SE has made me *facepalm*. Sorry to all you perpetual apologists out there but SE is a joke there is no way around it. Bug after bug after bug it is like Osama Bin Laden signed up to a terrorist bug regime before he died. Yay lets attack the NA/EU servers only and leave the JPN players (their target audience) alone as they might get angry. It is apparently a duty finder/story issue (which should affect all servers) so why the NA servers are included in being the new bug test central is beyond me.

It is NOT open beta any more this is effectively the real deal. No more excuses apologists or SE excuses will only get you so far and even then only if you actually fix them. This is really not going to bode well for reviews i hope you are happy i was hoping this game will succeed by leaps and bounds.

Well, I managed to get 3 dungeon runs in before it quit on me this time (cactaur)

Stuck in black load screen for instance before ifrit 10 mins now

Midgardsormr: world

Constant errors and nothing working. Game just isn't that playable at the moment which is a disappointment. Hope this is fixed by Launch because it should of been fixed in beta.

For me I get "cannot connect to duty finder server" on the lord of the inferno (lie in wait at the invisible city part). But for me, the duty finder worked a second ago.

I'm on adamantoise

Over two hours and they have not said a word. Stay classy Square-Enix.

Been disconnecting from the server every 15-30 seconds upon logging in, regardless of what I happen to accomplish within that short span.

Trying to do story missions, but none of the solo instances function. Keep getting black screens after several attempts requiring alt+f4 to exit came and re-enter.

If we search, we find


The following is the current situation regarding the issue wherein players are unable to access instances for Worlds under the North American/European Data Centers.

In regards to the emergency maintenance that was implemented earlier, we have resolved the issue for the confirmed character data for certain players that were having that problem.

For the issue with the server in charge of connecting players to the instances, we are still experiencing heavy traffic and are working on a solution to improve the server.

We are currently concentrating all of our efforts to address this issue, so we appreciate your continued patience while we work to address this matter.
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

I suppose if it's pretty much a matter of an overloaded server, there's only so much they can do to 'optimize' it, short of adding a better one.

We're still experiencing a lot of people playing our game and working to find a solution. We are sorry for any inconvenience this has caused.

They replied about 45 minutes ago on their @FFXIV_NEWS_EN twitter and an hour ago on their @FF_XIV_EN twitter both about this issue. And they are at least making an effort to communicate more with us with what's going on. Give them some credit.

Still bugged ...

Cannot join duty finder (cannot connect to duty server, please try again later).

Name: Jadzia Dax
World: Ultros

Can't do quest because duty finder won't work

Character: Dolce Ouellette

Character: Robas Kebas

Adding myself to the list in case I forgot to.

D'ranu Nunh
Midgardsormr

Bean Deiduck

Can't access any instances...

Same error in class quest. lvl 15
A system error ocurrerd during event movement.
Unable to connect to Duty Finder Server Please try again later.

Server: Cactuar
Character: Jonsu Rerezan

Part of the main quest 'Into a copper hell' is bugged too. I don't mind too much, gives me time to level my DoH classes while waiting.

I got this error from the quest ¨Lord of the Inferno¨.

A system error occurred during event movement. Unable to connect to Duty Finder Server Please try again later.

Character: Lailis Sato
Server: Behemoth

Please fix this :( I`m going to go make some cookies.... wrap myself in a blanket and sit on the couch watching tv while the hubby plays next to me without an issue.... such a depressing night.

Character: Erinyes Koios
Server: Midgardsormr

I finished "Into a Copper Hell" and went to talk to the guy back at the Adventurer's Guild in Ul'Dah, only to not connect to Duty Finder, and then be stuck locked on him for the next ten minutes, unable to move or cancel. I cannot advance in either the main quest or my guild quests due to not being able to enter the instance battles. I hope this is resolved soon. =/

I guess I'll actually go do school-related business. Shucks.

They will be doing maintenance to fix it later... http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...86#post1054886

I finished "Into a Copper Hell" and the game doesn't seem to recognize the fact that I did, and I can't complete the quest. I wonder if anyone else is having a similar problem.

link doesnt work

It doesn't work because it was deleted. The related news was in the lodestone/launcher too but it was removed for some reason.

It said something about these new problems are different matter from the earlier and only handful are experiencing them and they are manually to fixing those. Apparently handful = everyone.

Stuck talking to Painted Mesa for "Into a Copper Hell"
Character: Daemius Nocturne
Server: Diabolos

Bah.

yeah and still no new update ...

meanwhile, in japan...
