13 hrs of GLORIOUS gaming.. who's with me?

in Final Fantasy XIV

Man, what a day.

Started by having the usual world errors. Got in around 10.  Spent the entire day fighting, pillaging, chatting.

Man.. a couple of those early cutscenes are mind blowing... like specifically the bad guy reveal.. you were like "WHOA.. I wanna fight those people/things!"

Most people in the game were happy and helpful.  Of course the ribbing of "Oh yea, just got in" "Oh yea?  Server maintenance in 5 minutes".  Can't imagine how that'd be funny for some people but hey whatever.

Otherwise, how's everyone doing?  My Glad is 19.  I'm starting to wonder if I shouldn't have gone healer.  It's a bit late, I kind of just wanna hit 30 before I change over.  Tank kinda makes duty finder painful.  If I were a healer, (like I am in MOST games) I'd jump straight in.  

Anyone have issues with the early taunt for Glad?  I can't seem to keep in instances with archers.  Had an archer CONSTANTLY stealing my aggro.  I ended up flashing constantly until I ran out of MP before I started attacking just to ensure I kept aggro.

Tired of all the negativity.  Been a LONG time since I put in any major time into a game.  Let alone an entire day.  Anyone else have fun today PLAYING the game?

      When I am able to log in and play... I'm having a blast. Have not felt this way about am mmo since FFXI. Can't wait for them to fix the server log in issues.

    Early aggro on a glad takes both hard work and a well coordinated party. We have early on pretty good single target enmity skills but only that one aoe and it's very close range. It's a different tanking feel from my guardian and warden in lotro, but I'm enjoying it. Looking forward to leveling up my marauder as well.

    This is the first day I have not been able to get in at all, and I was trying most of the day.  I guess labor day weekend is the problem.

    Game is awesome, love it.  They fix the stupid login problem then this is the best MMO out there IMO

    No, it's a problem of inadequate server capacity. It will be great getting past Wednesday's big server upgrades and past a lot of the negativity as well.

    Yeah I'm with you, great graphics, combat animations, character models and story. I got on enough to explore the cities and pick up all classes war and hand. Hard time logging in again and since I'm not charged for a few weeks and in no big hurry I'll log back when things are smoother.

    It's funny that someone saying they had fun playing almost seems like a troll post.   Just because it's that hard to play this game.

    I didn't get to play today but I do have glad leveled up to 20. Did the first three dungeons. The best way to keep aggro in my limited experience was to pull with a shield throw, aoe taunt, then setup that move that restores mana and causes threat.

    My main rotation was just cycling through mobs doing the mana regen threat builder combo, and aoe taunt. You also get a stun that uses up precious tactical points, but man its a really handy move. I like the TP/MP management and the abilities that synergize with them.

    First day that I have not been able to play at all even though I was home all day. Spend at least 3 hours in front of the login screen....yup failure.

    I haven't been able to get in very much over the past week, only a few hours of a couple of days, but what little I get to play I do have an extreme blast. I do log out, even if I'm just going to be gone for 20 minutes, and that's the main reason I have not gotten a lot of time in. It's all good though, hopefully the upgrade goes smooth for them on Wednesday and next weekend will be a bit better. Until then, I'll take whatever I can get as far as game time goes :)
