Did they say what the 4/14 maintenance is for? Could it be this is the maintenance that adds echo/nerfs to final coil? Since in the past SE always waits 2 weeks after unlocking coil to add echo and nerfs, and 4/14 is 2 weeks after final coil was unlocked.
Did they say what the 4/14 matainence was for?

04-13-2015, 06:26 AMTwivanaProbably because the servers have been acting up really bad. Like hugeee server lag spikes and sometimes so bad you can't even do content.Quote:
At the following time, in order to accompany system maintenance operations, we will be performing maintenance on all Worlds. During this period, FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn will be unavailable.

04-13-2015, 06:26 AMSongJooheeDoesn't appear to be any patch to the game (others would say to accompany updates/hotfixes), though as you pointed out usually echo is added 2 weeks after lockout removal, so it wouldn't surprise me.Quote:

Also could be some stuff they are doing to get ready for heavensward.. Maybe SE is going to do launch right this time around :D

Poetic cap increase.
JK I can dream right? -
04-13-2015, 06:36 AMScorvGod I hope so, the original launch of this game was a catastrophe lolQuote:

Sounded like pure baseline system maintenance, nothing noteworthy.

Yesterday, the whole server was lagging while we were running WoD and T13. I guess they're simply fixing that and restarting the network.

There were a bunch of people saying echo/true DF FCoB was coming next week. Dunno if there's an truth to it, but I guess we'll see come Tuesday.

04-13-2015, 08:56 AMChiramuI've noticed lag spiked on Tonberry. First was in Limsa and I thought perhaps it was because there was a lot of people, but then when I moved to Lavender Beds there was still a lot of lag spikes too.Quote:

Sounds like routine maintenance. Got to give the servers a fresh reboot.

PvP is almost unplayable at the moment.
Mass freezes (for over 10 seconds), mass disconnects... -
04-13-2015, 04:43 PMKarstenS
If they would fix something it would be announced as emergency maintenance and hotfix stuff.
So it will be a maintenance to change something. As we don't expect new content till expansion, there is only echo and nerfing FCoB left.
(Or nerfing Steps?) -
04-13-2015, 04:56 PMIntakiAn MMO expansion launch is never going to get "done right". There will be crashes, there will be queues, and there will be emergency server maintenance.Quote:

Uncontrolled Aether flow! (just kidding)
I have noticed Lag spikes when I run, I thought it was my Laptop or connection since no one seemed to have them. Another I felt the game became slower after the last patch. so its reasonable.Quote:

If the devs handle FCoB like they handled BCoB and SCoB, T13 won't be nerfed at all. Remove Echo and you're clear.Quote:

04-13-2015, 06:14 PMJameinPlease dear god do not nerf FCOB, if you have to do anything add echo, that's enough of a nerf to every turn and people who don't want it can click it off.Quote:

04-13-2015, 06:20 PMKuwagamiThere isn't much to nerf anyway... If you want to keep the mechanics that is (SCoB's nerfs didn't remove the mechanics, they just made them mostly insignificant)Quote:

T13 will probably not be nerfed at all besides echo
can't comment on T12 as I've never tried it (was stuck on T11 and sub ran out :( ), but from what I've seen on some streams, only bennu's damage and maybe the brand of purgatory could be nerfed -
04-13-2015, 06:34 PMJameinHonestly, pretty much most of FCOB takes a hit if you add echo, like a huge hit.Quote:

T11 - again, easier add phases the rest of the fight is snooze anyway as long as people understand what they are doing, especially now you overgear it.
T12 - You'd push faster and get less bennus, making the fight pretty easy, as well as healers having an easier time with brands/misplaced tether dives.
T13 - Echo nerfs the fight as mechanically it's easier than T9, it just beats you down like a monster at the moment with high damage, especially if you make a mistake. Without echo everyone needs to be on the ball or it's a complete facesmasher (IMO)
I'm fine with adding echo if they really need to do anything, as people have the option to click it off, but if they start nerfing mechanics in T10-T12 AND add echo..FCOB suddenly becomes 8 man WoD, as I personally found T10-T12 easier than T6-8 pre nerf if you compare the raids when they first came out. T7 had me smashing my head against the desk for quite some time.
Fortunately I don't think they will touch T13 with anything other than echo, just like they did with T9. -
04-14-2015, 02:52 AMSasealSame here on Couerl - worst was last night in mid-Wanderers Palace HM with the FC.Quote:

Unlocked the second tonberry, went back tot where the wall opens up and everyones lined up neatly with the Disconnect symbol over their head. Thought it was just me disconnecting, but that wouldn't show the D/C symbol. One of my FC mates got drop kicked and couldn't log back in for a few minutes. It came back okay, but.... it was kinda Twilight zone - I'm running around that area with the other three FC mates lined up in two rows, staring at a wall like they've been turned into manniquins o_O;;;
Maybe this is where my Cures and Raise went, last night, when I clearly selected the persons and they weren't out of range -_- -
04-14-2015, 02:54 AMSpookyGhostThere's no "if", they will.Quote:

Also, early on there was no afk auto-kick, and many players were leaving themselves logged in to 'preserve' their spot, not caring that by doing so they were preventing others from playing, and making the zone overcrowding worse.Quote:

The biggest issue was they did not plan for the initial demand very well, someone somewhere did not relay the pre-sales data properly to the decision makers, or they simply didn't project the mass login impact. -
04-14-2015, 04:20 AMSasealThis is whats making me wary about taking vacation days for expansion. I've never used vacation days for a game before, but I've got nothing else going on in terms of vacation plans and I need one soon (before I explode) - so might as well make a stay-cation. Even with early access, there's no guarantee we don't just end up twiddling our thumbs for a half a week or more like when the game first opened... *Flops around on the ground in indecision*Quote:
