I don't know if it's just good luck on my end or a sign that the server improvements helped with other areas, but I've also noticed two improvements today:
1. FATE monsters spawn way faster
2. The Duty Finder is way quicker (I got an instant queue into a dungeon as a tank, which you probably would say is no big deal. However, when our CNJ disconnected in the middle of a dungeon, a replacement came in under two minutes. The other party members were quite shocked).
After much grinding of Amdapor and Wanderers, I now have a HUGE hat with blades on it. And its important to note that the blades are CROTCH LEVEL with all those silly tall races....
Is it still possible to buy the collector's edition upgrade?

That makes sense, I'll just do it asap then. I was just thinking I might not want to do it right away if I couldn't create a character on Sarg so I wouldn't be throwing away free days. (I'm committed to joining you classy ladies and gents in <Ghost>) Hopefully, by 9/6 I'll be able to roll a character there anyway. I'm so hyped! All aboard the hype train, w00t w00t!!!

The server congestion on Cactuar seems to be subsiding; I'm seeing people get in every 2-3 minutes now vs 10-30 earlier this evening. I'm guessing afkers are actually logging out now since it's possible to get in in a reasonable amount of time?
Tanking 50 instances in pubs has taken such a massive toll on me. Makes me not even want to play my warrior. Not enough people in my guild are even 50 so i gotta pub.
Gonna play nothing but my arcanist tomorrow, need a break.

The fate migrations in Coerthas are insane. On most of the boss ones, even if I get there as soon as it starts, I can barely usually get a silver. I am guessing most of the people moving en masse from one to another like they do are in an alliance or something?
On my server you would post in /shout that you wanted to join a fate group and then promptly get invited
Then it's an activity of stating where the fates are, rushing to tag and complete it and then coordinating teleports so you can get to the other fates that have spawned quickly.

Usually it's a group of Heavy Parties. when you get to the zone just shout for available parties, join up and off you go!

Things were going pretty great until I tried to do one of the Duties I've been sitting on for awhile. Loading screen ticks for a long time, then error 90000, then error 3102. Wait for the login to timeout, now I keep getting error 10102 over and over and the game is back to being unplayable.

This is hilarious. People are actually camping FATEs.

My wife got an email about suspicious activity on her account that looked super scammy so she ignored it. Then the game crashed when she tried to log in.

There are some fates that give achievements, pets, and a substantially higher amount of XP than others. It's not a terrible idea if you're aiming for specific things. Otherwise it's really easy to miss them, or not get gold (for ones that give pets) if you get there even like 15sec too late.

I guess I get to keep waiting.
This just happened to my friend and I. Queued up, got a dungeon, boom offline and can't get back in. People may want to hold off on dungeons for the moment?
Duty finder, at least on Balmung, is currently locking people in with the string of 90000/3102/10102 errors, so I'd hold off on those if you can. The 3102 error doesn't take long to recover from, but the 10102 is completely random. It took me 10 minutes, a friend of mine has been stuck with it for an hour.

Yeah, 3102 isn't a thing for more than a minute or three, 10102 is the new jerk to the party.
So many Paladins and so few Warriors. I wonder if people are just afraid to play a tank without a shield, or just afraid of the different mechanics?
It's probably fallout from FF11, where Paladins were the only tanking class (other than ones that used an exploit, like Ninjas), and Warriors were high end, but sub-par, DPS.
Was ninja tanking really an exploit?
No, it was emergent game play. The dev's didn't expect it to happen, but when it came about they let it go. Afterwards they tweaked it some so it wasn't so overpowered, but they let the players keep it.
...and when you are done with that; take a folding
chair to Creation and then suplex the Void.

I waited 15 minutes for Haukke as SCH. I gave up.
Edit: If people are getting kicked when they finish the queue, probably nobody queueing, which would explain it. A shame, since SCH queues are a nice way to level arcanist otherwise.

Convenient! Thanks.
Now I see it in the OP too, but I mean, who reads those?
by which i mean, who doesn't read those?
this download has another 20 minutes. if only there were some post to read in that time.
I would post more but I'm in Class ATM
Good news everybody (well everybody who is me). The benchmark worked on my laptop with only a little tweaking, the music and monsters made me super nostalgic for FF goodness and I read delph's OP

The real question is why are you planning on solo grinding when you can group w/ all us fine PA folk on Sarg? =P

you don't have any other options past a certain point
It's really obnoxious, and probably longer than intended, but you can get back in eventually.

Oh. So there are some high end FATEs. Omega FATEs if you will. Interesting. Someone needs to make a list of the special ones.
