hm.. is there afk kick implemented..
I afk for almost 40mins they kick me off game.
Previously i afk 1hr nothing..

seems like not 8-10pm.
More like jst 22 00 to 0 00 .
Which is 9 to 11.

queve 47..

when rearranging inside the game, suddenly error 900000!!..

Wtf..

i think they going to prolong the server maintenance period. Looks like it's not even stable enough for players to play.
Have to wait till tomorrow lol..

U mean like this 2 ninja ?



I've reported just now. But seems like no action taken.
They're in stealth mode .But as i know, when u stealth u can only walk and cannot run.
These two were flying around through different points outside copperbell mine dungeon entrance.

I think that's like 1% of what we saw. There're already alot more around the world of eorzea.
In Limsa already got bot spamming to sell gills.

It's a common tactic that many players would practice. I believe it's either skin or web u are farming.
Most of us would enjoy the comfort of camping a particular mat all by ourself without any disturbance.
Many times when u notice a player going almost 24/7 on a spot without boredom, it's either a gil farmer or bot.
Unfortunately, there are players who play with such passion that they are willing to go almost around the clock.
But at the same time, gil farmer or bot does the same thing. Just that they caters to different terms.

I've been farming at long hours myself too and notice the immaturity level of players that exist in masamune.
They would fret and get angry over players camping too often at a spot.
Oftenly they would steal a hit on a dying creature that have only 2 to 3% health.
Sometimes , they would gang up upon a player with friends and tried to force the player to leave the spot.

I think that SE/Yoshida has been very loose in addressing steal killing in FF14. Unlike ff11.
It happens to botting and gil farming too.
These are spreading across Eorzea world like a disease.
Player's abuse over the code of conduct was not even looked at.
Many would think that it's just a game.
Causing annoyance and be ignorant in game is nothing but a game.
We cant resolve our daily life's unfairness and unhappiness, we'll resort to express this in game to other players.
This is to show that we conquer in game but squirm in real life.

I really hope SE/Yoshida would be prudent and firm in the game's code of conduct.
This is a game for purely entertainment for matured players and not kids who seek to release tantrum .
Players who seek to release their anger in real life should just go and squeeze a rubber duck.

I've checked a few times that 1st hit doesnt neccessary gurantee will get item.
There's a few time i use dot for instant cast to claim mob.
Mob's name was in red indicating that it's claimed by me.
Another player kill my claim mob in less than 2 hit before my stone2 could land.
I didnt receive any loot. This happen few times.

Now that clears my doubt on that.
As mentioned, i only DOT the mob to claim the mob. The other DPS user uses ws on the mob like around 2 hits and kill the mob after i claim it. I got nothing.
So i was suspecting that something else other than first claim wins the loot.
30% dmg dealt applies as well.
I've encountered a few situation where i engage more than 3 mobs. Though i had taken off more than 50% of each of these and they were smite off the ground by a warrior but i got all loots.


VPN do not improve much on ping rate.
Unless u are rich enough to use lease line for urself alone w~

It's not random for standard drop. I think it's the certain amount dmg u deal + it's first claim = ur loot.
I believe that it might be around 30% or less than that.
It happens randomly only in party for standard drops.

Take note that these crafts /gather is scattered across 3city. Uldah is alchemist, Goldsmith,Weaver,mining. Gridania is leathercraft, woodworking and botanist. Limsa is armorer,Smith,cooking and fishing.

Nothing is as worst as having a dead healer lol...

No understand.. Main quest of course can continue later even ur home point was set at Gridannia while u choose your GC to be Limsa.

In my opinion... both also quite important. Do the one that you are comfortable with.

Usually before engaging a boss, i'll always consult with uncle youtube or nico nico.
Gives you preparation where you'll stand and how you should react to whatever is going to happen.
Unless the player itself is lazy and not be bothered.

Yes u can use user macro for fishing. There's an action for that. except for mining/gathering.
But no point making a macro for it.

I've yet to use english community sites for fishing. I've been relying on Jp site for where to fish and what kind of fish it will have for each area.
Though they are not fully updated.

let's hope not during peak hours maintenance....
I really hate they do that.
They're so many times they can do maintenance at.
Even during morning or noon time.
But why they like to do it during evening.
Where players are going home from work for entertainment. Which is plain silly. This is the timeframe which applies to all asians too.

Most asians are in japan server. Japan server should be operating in Japan. Unless u telling me that they are remoting through teamviewer to maintain japan server from NA or Europe.
5-7pm consider primetime to Japanese. Japan is 1hr ahead of us. Consider the fact that 5-7pm in our time is already 6-8pm their side.
Unless we are speaking of over 1000 or above numbers in your FC operating at after 7:30pm.
But even after maintenance don't expect that everything operating as smooth as butter.
From our past experience, u'll have at least an hour or more downtime right after server went back up.
It's inevitable that us players have to went through the 1017 ceremony when server went backup.
This will persist for an hour or worst u'll never get a chances into the server for that day.

I also find it's kind of vague by that 5 days free limitation term.

Means within 5 days , we can tour through every single FF14 server on the list ?
I'm very tempted to transfer my character to another world and come back.
Just because i want to rename my character.
But the whole chunk of risk was listed there. Which makes me pull back.
Gil limitation also not explained clearly.
And.. this might be a one way ticket trip too lol..

Ya.. i find it also quite blur.. what does 5 day free world transfer mean.

Maybe after i go home and kacau their cs support.

Supposingly if the 5 days free world transfer applies to unlimited transfering, this will cause huge stress on the server.
I do know aware that somehow, they should be a 24hr restriction between each switch.
But imagine thousands abusing this activity on the server.

I have quite a load of materials on me. So i afraid that there will be an inventory flush when switching server.
Gil wont be that headache but accumulating those materials really too troublesome for me..
