Instance servers are still broken, in general. I've literally been stuck on "Lord of the Inferno" all day because I can't zone into the solo instance.
I just want my damn chocobo and I can't progress the story to gain access to Grand Companies.
Yeah, I've been stuck at the great wall that is the Level 5 story and class quests since the first afternoon of beta 4. Really hard to do anything in the game when its all locked behind quests that I'm locked out of myself. I'm just gonna wait for either another maintenance tonight (not likely before I go to bed) or try again tomorrow. Feels frustrating and not worth playing in the current state tonight.
My goal for today is to get my chocobo, but right now my gaming PC is giving me fits. I hope giving it a time out will improve its disposition.
FATEs are good ways to get the seals necessary, I got as many as 120 from a single FATE. Also, there is a dungeon you can access around level 20 called Halatali that will have the monsters you need for three Grand Company Hunting Log entries, which will net you around 1k seals. Toss in a Guildleve or four and you should be set for the chocobo.
I'm having trouble trying to complete some of my level 15 crafting leves since you have to get certain mats from other players/professions. One ingredient was only listed once on the marketplace, a crazy stack priced at like 20k, while another didn't have a single listing. I guess I should try joining a linkshell or something, otherwise it's going to be pretty difficult at least at this stage of the game.
With story quests and Duty Finder still down, I decided to focus on Blacksmith. In less than 30 minutes I crafted my way up to level 6, and did some tradecraft leves to hit level 8.
I also managed to create a HQ donning hammer, which can come in handy with my Armorsmith class. Blacksmith can also create tools for all the other crafting jobs as well.
So basically, Blacksmith is the gateway drug to the other crafting jobs.
Ok the instance thing is getting irritating. Strangely the game ran smoother on Beta 4. Guess it didn't have this stress?
With 1/2 the player base locked out due to 3102 error, probably not. I missed over a day to it, many missed the entire thing. That's been fixed now, and the instance server can't handle all these people doing the solo duties.

Just put in my pre-order. Waiting to get my code so I can play.

So in the future I need to double-check the name of the PA Guild I guess. I asked for a FC invite here and then when I got one in-game, I assumed it was legit.
Ended up in a guild of randoms and wondered why there were no shenanigans or wang jokes. I felt very out of place.
So uhh... could Sophia Crookshanks get a FC invite for reals? :P

So I guess it takes over an hour to generate codes? Still nothing from Square. Not even my game code. When I lookup my order no codes are listed. The whole thing seems very disorganized.
Hello, this is FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn Producer and Director, Yoshida.
Thank you for your cooperation on the multiple maintenance correspondence.
With the 2 maintenances that were implemented with the NA/EU Data Center, we have resolved the 90000 error origin and corresponding characters. For the few reports that have been sent after the maintenance, it seems like it is a separate issue, and we will be working on them individually. Thank you for your cooperation with the maintenance.
And we are also currently working on the an even better way to optimize the heavy load of simultaneous access, heavy load on matching and the matching server features for Duty Finder.
Since it is hard to implement them during peak hours and that it might make the matters worse, we are carefully deciding when to do it.
So at Aug. 25 12:00 a.m. PDT, we will be implementing a maintenance to optimize the NA/EU Data Centers. At the same time, we will be implementing all the fixes done for the NA/EU Data Centers to the JP Data Center, so maintenance will be done on the JP Data Centers to get a smoother optimization.
We apologize for the inconvenience that this is causing everyone, but we please ask for continued cooperation for an overall stable environment. The Development and Support Team will continue to work hard for smoother play to our customers, and we thank you for understanding and for your cooperation.

Two hours later, no codes. I can't even get Digital River to send me a password e-mail (for a password I never provided and is different than my SQueenix account password apparently). Smooth as butter.
Stopped playing for the night because its not worth playing without the instances. Character got stuck in the black void of a loading screen trying to progress the story.
I'm thinking its going to be a rough couple days as more people filter in.

Made it to 21-ish. Stuck on the quest for the Grand Company. Kind of a bummer.
Worked on Blacksmithing and Armorer. Made some sweet looking lowbie chainmail.
Got Raise with my CNJ since that spell can be used by anyone making it super useful.
Got GLD and ARC to 10 as well.
All in all a busy, busy day.

I asked this in the SE thread as well, but can we put up a google doc or something in the op as a kind of who's who? There's like 3 people who have names in the FC that are similar to their forum handles.

Yeah, I hit 26 on my Archer and without being able to advance the story, class quests, or dungeon it up, I got bored as hell of doing random quests and grinding out my logs.
By the way, it doesn't seem like there's much fluidity to quests hubs, unless my story quest is supposed to be leading me along them?

I can't stop taking screens either, even though I'm running it on as low as possible (well, except for my shadow)
