THANKS SE! Quick VENT!

Ah yes, those angry lala eyebrows cannot be messed with. jk.

The lalafell population rises faster than lemmings. It is impossible to sacrifice enough.

That's quitter talk if I've ever seen it.

I am a crafter, I use Reclaim when we know it is a lost cause. Lala sacrifices are just another example of this in FFXIV life.

Just NQ'ed a Nightsteel Greatsword for a friend b/c we all got kicked out of our server!

How exactly did this happen? If you're kicked mid craft, you lose everything. They do post when they're taking the servers down. If you started a craft when they announced they were taking the server down, it's not really SE's fault. Did they change things so you get a NQ if you're kicked? And it's still better than having a 99% chance of an HQ and getting a NQ. LOL.

You can never sacrifice enough of us. We are planning the lalapocalypse! My brothers and sisters are rising up! Standing on each other's shoulders! We shall look you in the eye so we can see the moment that realize your downfall and destruction! Bwahahahahahahah!

Sometimes you don't have room for reclaim! D':

Yeah, I haven't had Reclaim on my cross class list for all my classes for a loooong loooong time... I've been crafting "courageously"! LOL

[Canadane]

You finished the craft.
How is it the servers fault?

Well, servers do handle spikes extremely poorly. If you have any fluctuation in your internet, you either get kicked out or everything freezes. I experienced this today while I crafted the black willow cane. A small lag made the entire game freeze. As a result, my macro jumped a step and it continued without using Byregot's blessing, NQ'ing the cane at 11%. Granted, it's still better than being kicked out and loosing the mats, but still, the servers do this so often, it would be nice to either have them improved or at least have some safety measures for when it kicks you out, which happens a lot.

This is why you should always have a '/cancelmacro' macro on your hotbars, when regularly crafting with macros. It allows you to cancel the current macro if you notice a lag spike, so you can finish the craft normally.

That said, I'm also curious how the OP managed to finish a craft while being kicked off the server, presumably without warning.

Well, that's not what OP was saying. She said she got kicked out of the server while crafting. I have experienced what you're talking about though. You can do the stop macro or I've found that crafting inside your house or apartment greatly reduces the chances of that happening. I think it's because it's in its own instance.

And that’s why you manually craft ... I have experienced slight delays in the game accepting input, and I can see how using a macro would have had that macro skip a step (because its on its own time). Crafting manually, however, you merely wait for the game to accept input again and carry on!
