Raccoon Posted August 18, 2013 Share #176 Posted August 18, 2013 As a result of 3102, playing on Japanese server Tiamat and noticing something a little interesting- far fewer genitalia/sexual/troll names. Just an odd observation. Also, someone skilled in .gif making needs to take the scene of Bahamut bursting out of Dalamud, put 3102 on his head, and show him wrecking the joint. >_> I always have consider the Japanese better than us thanks to their culture.. Well better than every other nation. That's just romanticizing a people/culture. They have their problems just like everyone else, some the same and some quite different. Link to comment
Zyrusticae Posted August 18, 2013 Share #177 Posted August 18, 2013 That's just romanticizing a people/culture. They have their problems just like everyone else, some the same and some quite different. To be fair, even objectively, you can say they are in many ways better, in terms of things like crime rates, ratio of total population to incarcerated citizens, income equality, and so forth, all of which Japan ranks very highly in. On the other hand, living in Japan means dealing with tons of social pressures from every direction, hence the high suicide rates. But if you ask me, that's a small price to pay for living in a place with that low a crime rate. Link to comment
esperkitty Posted August 18, 2013 Share #178 Posted August 18, 2013 So, I tried to make a character over on the Faerie (NA) server, and 3102 is keeping me from logging into that world because my main, Kiana, is in 'lobby limbo.' I just want to pla~~~~~~~~~~ay!!!! Link to comment
Fates Skein Posted August 18, 2013 Share #179 Posted August 18, 2013 Yep, if you have 3102 the only option is to roll on a Japanese server (as it currently stands). The NA and EU servers are the ones currently being affected- the page on the Squeenix site is up to over 11k reports. Link to comment
Lren Posted August 18, 2013 Share #180 Posted August 18, 2013 Been nice to help my twin out while I sit and play Street Fighter, though I occasional fire off a "I *CENSORED FOR THE KITTIES* hate you." Least it's helped me sell the game to him more. Link to comment

We're corrupting their youths with our odd ideals and values. Plus we're turning them into criminals by making them upload anime and such for our perusal. Such horrible Westerners we are.

Firae Posted August 18, 2013 Share #182 Posted August 18, 2013 Man this is an annoying problem...least its just open beta. they better fix it before full release though Link to comment
Z'karu Posted August 18, 2013 Share #183 Posted August 18, 2013 I tried to log in and was in the gridania loading screen for about half a minute before the error kicked in again, I felt like I was so close So soul crushing. Link to comment
esperkitty Posted August 18, 2013 Share #185 Posted August 18, 2013 Man this is an annoying problem...least its just open beta. they better fix it before full release though Yeah. Better to squish it now than to wait until Early Access / Launch! @Merri - that is cool, too! Link to comment

jubant86 Posted August 18, 2013 Share #190 Posted August 18, 2013 I felt this to be necessary. This one works better. Very true. I just wanna get back to brandishing a book at people and things I don't like... and then sling death from the pages! First thing I wanna do, though, if I can get back in before it's over is get a few levels in Thaumaturge so I can sling those spells about from my book'o'doom as well. lol lol this makes me think of deathnote :3 Link to comment
The Hailer Posted August 18, 2013 Share #191 Posted August 18, 2013 In hopes of Square-Enix reading this. Another FFXIV Open Beta Tester here, without the ability to sign into their character...which is already signed in. My character "The Hailer" on Behemoth, has been locked from logging in, since mid-day yesterday, I got to a whopping level 5 before my character was forcefully disconnected. The lack of clarity on the progression of these issues from developers/techs is amazing. The last informational update was regarding added worlds...as if the only problem was over-crowding on worlds, how about those already on a world, unable to log in? Letting users know what is going on, could save users hours of re-install efforts and router reboots, not to mention the frustration while attempting to fix your problem. Allegedly, this is an error that has been a problem since 2010. It is a Beta test, and free, this I fully understand, yet a beta run is for testing errors, if you can not log in, I believe you have undercut the purpose of these very tests. The lack of information is annoying at best. 'Glad' to see SE hasn't gone against my expectations since I left FFXI. :frustrated: I'm posting this as a last ditch effort, in hopes of functionality before the Beta is over. SE, this is not helping your massive advertising campaign for the game. The world we live in has instant communication capability, to say you are late to the game is a colossal understatement. Please fix error 3102. Sincerely, a faithful Final Fantasy customer. Link to comment
Raccoon Posted August 18, 2013 Share #192 Posted August 18, 2013 ...why would SE read it here? Link to comment
The Hailer Posted August 18, 2013 Share #193 Posted August 18, 2013 I was liberally "hopeful" a moderator would see it. SE doesn't exactly leave the option to contact customer support on the weekends. No effort is no gain in my theory. :lol: Link to comment
Felix Sideris Posted August 18, 2013 Share #194 Posted August 18, 2013 My response to Error 3102: Sho Ga Nai. Or, in other words. It can't be helped. What I mean by this is that take what life delivers you and make the best of it. I got locked out myself late Saturday night, so some might argue that I have no room to talk after having enough time to get somewhere decent (although I did work for 8 hours friday so I missed out on some time there as well). Tech issues happen, and they always will. Getting ruffled up about it isn't worth wasting the energy on. After all, we aren't on live yet. Once I give them money I will be expecting more. They had a surge of likely 100,000,000ish players, give or take, trying to log onto and consistently play all at once. It is -expected- to happen. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if game companies purposely allowed the server to lock out randomized IP addresses in order to ease up server stress during times like this. We don't really know. So, fall back onto the forums like we all will when Phase 4 ends. We can sit back, relax, and dream about playing in Eorzea. Oh and I am pretty bummed out myself. I am going to try to log in at 12:00 midnight tonight and see if I can at least run my character into my inn room to log out and get rest. If I an unable to do that then I lose out on all of that rested exp bonus I could have potentially had. So I completely understand. :thumbsup: But I'm happy that I got to log on at all, every time I log onto that game I feel like Kirito from SAO in episode one. Right after he logs in during initial release and fist pumping with the whole "I'm back." Yeah, I totally do that. Cheesy grin and all. If only Eorzea was VR'd and somehow locked us into the game because really Yoshi P is a crazy philosophically curious scientist and wants to see how we all handle/react/behave in that kind of situation.

Yes they have announced they do go on fansites and browse around.. I doubt they will right now. They're pretty busy and would be focusing on their own forums. Link to comment
LiadansWhisper Posted August 18, 2013 Share #196 Posted August 18, 2013 Personally, the error isn't what bugs me. I'm sad that I can't play my character. It's a source of frustration. But that isn't what bugs me. What bugs me is the complete lack of communication from Square. That's what bugs me. That's a deal-breaker for me. So I'm really hoping they learn from this and realize they can't run this game the way they are right now. They need to keep in communication with the players when things go wrong, or they're going to lose players. Update: They just posted this on the NA Twitter: The Beta Test errors 3102 and 90000 are still under investigation and unfortunately we have no new information regarding them at this time. Update #2: We are aware of the frustration these errors are causing and apologize that they are impacting the accessibility and enjoyment of the game. Moar Updates: As soon as we have more details, we'll be sure to announce it. Once again, we apologize for the issues and appreciate your understanding. Link to comment

I couldn't agree more, I LOVE the game thus far, yet the lack of information is what I find frustrating. Thank you as well, for keeping us all updated, not everyone is on social media. Greatly appreciated :thumbsup: Link to comment
LiadansWhisper Posted August 18, 2013 Share #198 Posted August 18, 2013 Now I'm hoping that people will inundate the NA twitter with POSITIVE and ENCOURAGING feedback on the subject of them having communicated with them. We can train this puppy! Puppy treats for the FF Twitter! If we encourage them when they communicate, they're more likely to do so in the future. Link to comment
ScarletAlexis Posted August 18, 2013 Share #199 Posted August 18, 2013 Yea, I had the same. Okey it happened and I cant play on my char (sadface) but the fact that they dont .. Well reply on the forum posts (the ones I could get into) makes me feel as if they are trying to let it pass by a bit. Ofc it could be that they are working 24/7 on it on their end, but even so frustrating Link to comment
