what is being fixed this time?

Just wondering since everything was alright before they shut the servers down...

If its only a hot fix then it can be done while the severs are running but we would have to re log to get that fix updated.
Why do they always seem to take it all down and let us hang?

Yeah, I can't find any notes. Guess the 'emergency' was that someone spilled something on a wire.

Of what's broken: FATEs are still taking aeons to spawn in spite of being 'adjusted'. Some longer than they used to.

I have never seen a maint end early, Only on time or after the scheduled time. Test server could help with this maint and patching...

seems like a system maintenance, nothing related to the gameplay.

Probably a few things. There was a FATE in Central Shroud (a collection FATE) that replaced the English names of the mobs with their Japanese text names. It might also fix the Syrcus Tower loot lockout glitch (where people can not roll Need or Greed on something when they have not received anything from ST) as well as this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t21kCv80gNM

Amon wanted to greet us personally.

Friends in my FC also had that bug with Amon, so that seems a very likely candidate.

I know A-Ruhn-Senna NPC was glitched in the WHM job quests. But I don't think that is really what I'd call an emergency.

Yeah I had that glitch and it was pretty creepy.

Possibly a hamster fell off his wheel or something? Although ps4 users were getting launcher errors and there was a tone of log in issues last night so that might be the case.

There was mass 90k yesterday (between 4 and 5 PM GMT) on all EU/NA servers, and then there was noticeable lag at least till the time I logged out (9 PM GMT), so it could be related.

A lot of weird 90k and lag in frontline as well.

The following issues have been addressed according to Square-Enix in the thread:

[NA] FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn Hotfixes (Aug. 21, 2014)



An issue in “Crystal Tower: Syrcus Tower” wherein ground-targeting actions such as Shadow Flare used in the Golden Sacristy could also cause damage to monsters on the floor above.
An issue wherein, if a currently held weekly elite mark bill that was accepted during a previous week had the same target as the current week’s elite mark bill, and the elite mark was slain, then the current week’s elite mark bill, even if it is still unaccepted, is also counted as being completed.
An issue wherein the graphics for the NPC “A-Ruhn-Senna” did not display properly during cutscenes.

Does that answer your question?^_^

Lol yeah that Amon glitch happened on our run too ... So funny xP

Tuesday I saw that happen, but not just with Amon, but with trash mobs.

There was an bug that occurred. My chocobo was in the stable. I was in frontlines and I tried to ride my choco. And a message popped up saying that my chocobo was missing.

That would certainly explain why Amon was targeting the SMN.

Ragna suffered from some massive DC these 2 days.

Not true either

Only if SE did a weekly maint like every other MMO they might have less issues and downtime during updates

Sounds like the ST fix was the only critical thing, this early in the lockout period. For Hunts- if some ppl who had accidentally gotten extra marks for one that's been in their log forever, great for them they prob weren't getting a lot through hunting if that were the case. Hopefully that's something they slipped in on the side and not something they'd consider emergency patch-worthy on its own.

You can't call your chocobo while it is in the stable. Just call another mount.

I wonder if they fixed the 'Heavy' icon inflicted by the first boss of Stone Vigil HM having the tooltip for 'Ingenuity'...
