Americans..

No. They are just less entitled and have more brains. They will CHECK if an existing thread is up before posting.

"shouganai". Very important cultural difference.

I lived in Europe and played on NA/EU servers for three years so I think I know exactly what westerners are like. That and I still play with my NA/EU friends on a regular basis.


Its not as if we haven't been part of their launch issues before. D3, GW2 ring any bells? Really just western culture - "I paid for it so I have the right to complain". Doesn't excuse the racism though..ugh. Its bad rep for the entire english speaking community.

Actually, we DID bite the bullet. Remember the world lockouts in P4? I didn't see anyone from our (JP) community whine like they do.

"OMG WORLD IS DOOMED SE SUCKS SHIT GAME". Why?

Man you should get on an American ts/vent/mumble. You'll know whine then


Anyway, enough bout that. Must get chocobo tonight! I'm like 1.5k seals away.

Change your weapon. Stats are per-job.

Don't forget to unlock all the classes. It doesn't cost you anything and you get more gear set slots (allows you to quickswap your jobs and not have to re-equip everything)

Select J and E when finding. I found a tank this way.


I also disagree on the class restriction. Its an excellent introduction to the trinity for newbies and has a great learning curve (from Sastasha -> Ifrit).

Can learn some Japanese too. I partied with random JPN players and hadn't a clue what they were saying

Sentence construction? They use Subject-Object-Verb (JP). We use Subject-Verb-Object (ENG) so if you directly translate, it'll sound weird.

Right click on char name.

Biggs and Wedge..oh you.

That is their culture in general. Its typical there to be vocal about things because if you aren't, you won't get what you want. Of course, those are the bad eggs that are the most vocal.

Besides the job requirements, the rest are almost spot on. That should answer some questions that anyone might have, including one I had regarding levels and soul crystals.

Unless you work with server systems, I think you have no business saying whether they're slacking or not. Its not as if you can magically solve problems.

I'm sure you should be aware that getting stuff done in any corporate company requires you to go through the right channels too. Can suddenly sign off additional server racks 1 ah? Right. And how do you know they're hosted on low-bandwidth hardware if you even know how the server architecture is done at all?


I'm sorry but whatever problems people are having (and I've experienced all of them before) does not justify their atrocious behavior all over the internet right now. I have the right to be upset sure, but I do not have the right to make life miserable for others, players and staff alike. Shit, its not as if I haven't been permabanned by ArenaNet for TWO weeks following the 21karma fiasco when they were supposed to unban me within 48 hours.

Its the first three days. Launch week will always be problematic. It has been this way since forever and FFXIV is no exception.

Perfect MMO launch!

..said no MMO dev ever.

Adding more server racks has its own set of problems including but not limited to player demographic spread. They have probably accounted for expected player concurrency a few months down the road before adding servers just like that.

This will not be the case a few months down the road. Adding servers is easy. Removing..less so. There are..complications associated with that, contractual and elsewhere. Most MMOs will see a steady decline in player concurrency following launch week till it normalizes so adding more servers CAN be a bad thing because you're spreading the playerbase. There's also PR bullshit associated with merges that will eventually happen for low pop servers.

That was what I meant. Can add now, but have to account for what to do in the future.

NA/JP/EU (rest of the world).

We fall under EU.
