Dungeon servers STILL broken. =/

Not sure that maintenance did anything, as the dungeon server is STILL broken. Just FYI.

Indeed they are :|

So they wasted 5 hours on maintenance to fix WHAT exactly? I suppose it's my bad for trusting Square again after the amount of times they've screwed up horribly since the 90s.

Seriously, what the hell?

I've been using http://arrstatus.com/ to check the server status and it says all NA/EU are still down...???

probably RPing player staying in dungeon after kill boss ....and hang out there ..

this is getting to be a bit sad...

Yeah, not the best first foot forward to impress the NA/EU crowd....

Got one dungeon in then all instances quit working.

I completed the fight right before getting access to Bowl of Embers then duty finder stopped working. Not a good sign at all especially since they spent 5hrs supposedly fixing the problem. Come tomorrow video game news outlets are going to start reviewing and reporting on FFXIV and they are not going to have anything good to say if the game stays this way.

Good Job Yoshi-P! Bravo!

Pre-order now and you receive early access to game-breaking errors that will leave you angry and hating life!

I want a timer in dungeon after you kill the boss you got 2min to take chest and leave.

CAN YOU PLZ FIX THE ISSUE AT HAND SQUARE-ENIX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ya me 2...Stop being cheap about bandwidth\server size by using Canada's crap bandwidth..

Same problem.. again. God this is annoying now...

It's one thing to have bugs at early launch but to be something so major as the duty finder to be bad where you can't even progress cause you NEED it to enjoy the game and get anywhere. I'm lvl 17 and I can't do anything I already did as much as I can with my hunter log but with out being able to do my class or storyline instance I'm stuck to nothing more than to grind mobs.

I really dont want to be negative since I love this game but this is ridiculous. 2 emergency maintenances for 5 hours and nothing has been fixed. Im stuck in the main story and class quest because of instanced content not working.

SE builds almost all of this games content around instances but doesnt have an instanced server that can handle it. Brilliant.

they are still working on the tweak sets for DF. However they are (mentioned to media) planning to separate instances for quests from DF dungeons

I really think at this point the problem is that they had bad hardware and not a software problem and there just so much overload that it cannot handle the crappy DF xD since like people have mention. your instance quest and instance dungeon are all on the same duty finder.

They rented datacom servers they are hardly crappy. But there is a cue to live issue. So the handlers need to be separated (this is base code like wow uses).

I hope so, I can't see any reason why class quests have to go through the duty finder, especially if the instance can only be entered by a single player.

In retrospect, it would make sense to keep them separate that way you don't have people getting progression blocked should something like this occur. It was clearly a decision to save time and maximize their available resources that backfired. They probably have an idea of what's causing it, but can't replicate the load. Unfortunately testing it live means dropping the servers, running the update, testing it internally to make sure nothing horrific happened in the process, and then pulling everything back up again.

Personally, I'm sympathetic to what they're going through. If they can get it sorted before the weekend is over, I wouldn't bat an eye. The worst part of this is honestly is the perception being given off by it and the number of people who are simply losing their minds because things didn't go perfectly for one or two days on launch day. If people freaked out, called the game a failure and bailed every time there was an issue at launch, this genre wouldn't exist.

At this point it's more of a way to restrict progress during Early Access lol.

Except the beta was far more stable most of the time.

well it is a good time to go through some crafts and gathering sutff.

Fishing can really pass the time and cooking helps allow you to make better food for better buffs.

And this is why phase 4 beta should have been all last week, but hey it is what they get for making phase 4 the weekend before the release and only making it last 3 days with such a low level cap.

Hopefully the upcoming maintenance will fix the issue and we'll be able to enjoy our time. Here's fingers crossed!
