Maintenance Rage Thread

[Miseria]

Maintenance is landing RIGHT when my kiddo is taking a nap....hence there goes my only chance at a nice 2 hr block of uninterrupted game time /cry

 

That said does anyone know if there is a OOC linkshell/chat for Balmung? Looks like Gilga has one but that server is locked (made the tough choice of picking between Gilg and Bal easy  )

[Gideon Aryeh]

The offline character creator should still work, the game will autoimport your character back into the game once it goes back up, it should make things a little faster. Besides at least you can have some of the game while you are waiting.

I think it's because NA/EU players QQ more so they like messing with us.

Lol, I was reading that interview that Reinhardt translated yesterday and they seem to really like NA players because they are so direct. "They either dislike the game and will not play or it, or they will play the game." They said after P4 that their NA pre-orders skyrocketed and they broke the record for top preorders on PS3. 

 

That being said, there apparently seem to be waaaayyy more NA players than JP players (which I think is really odd) so we can expect to possibly see even more issues. 

 

Back on topic....ARGH! I literally got to play for 15 minutes before I got kicked while zoning >

[CassandraJean]

*fall in* RAGE!! *roll back out*

 

but no seriously, I think Square Enix is constantly underestimating how many people want to play their game.

[Zakov]

Ugh. I woke up as soon as Early Access started to get my character into Balmung and play a bit. There were so many people and my FPS was crap so I decided to go to sleep and wait for things to cool down a bit. I should've stayed up and played a bit more. >

[K'nahli]

They're trying to make us think the game is more popular than it is! >:v

 

It doesn't really bother me. Shame it happened when I was halfway through an instance but it gave my friend and I an excuse to write some quick tags to close a scene so I am almost happy there was a maintenance TwT

[Gideon Aryeh]

Here are some great anime series to watch while you are waiting. I highly recommend all of them!

 

If you like anime and mmos and haven't watched SAO yet you should not be allowed to watch anime and play mmos.

Sword Art Online

 

The Devil is a part timer! Absolutely hilarious. Final Fantasy fans should absolutely check this one out. Just trust me.

+1 to that. I was dead set against watching Attack on Titan and then a friend of mine just said "You like it when they're well-animated, don't you?"

 

Now i'm eagerly awaiting the next episode. ;___;

Oh man I love AoT it's so freak'n good. Has me on the edge of my seat. I just started watching SwordArt Online and I'm so pleased with the main premises of the plot. Haha. Though might be ironic to watch it, especially when waiting for maintenance during a game's official release. xDDD

LOL omg does anyone we know have an Ocular Rift helmet strapped on and is playing the game right now? :cry:

[Levi Druthers]

Can never go wrong with Ranma 1/2

 

Just watching tv right now, had lunch and taking a nap until then.  Was able to get in to Driftwood though so very happy!

[Sylentmana]

I guess if its going to take so long then I'll just go and get some lunch then it the servers aren't back up, I'm gonna hop on some classic Final Fantasy. Maybe FFVI.

[Eve Malusion]

Well the maintenance is supposedly going to last for another hour and a half, not sure what to do untill then.

[Chakha Malqir]

I still have a bunch of reading to do for college, so I'm not all that disappointed. I have another few hours to sit back and get some reading in.

I can vouch for this one. Kind of gets repetitive during the second half, but that first half is pure gold. What's particularly impressive is how good the animation is throughout, despite the fact that it's a comedy series.

 

I don't know the English name of this one but its got to be one of the funniest and most heartwarming slice of life anime I've ever seen. I adore this series.

http://www.animefushigi.com/anime/chuunibyou-demo-koi-ga-shitai

The literal translation is "I Want a Girlfriend, But She Has 8th Grader Syndrome!" Pretty funny show. Interesting how it gets dramatic towards the end as well.

 

Attack on Titan, one of the greatest ever and its still new and ongoing. Yes its that good.

Attack on Titan

Good show, but there are some pacing and production issues towards the middle. Still, the soundtrack is glorious! Have a taste.

 

The others I haven't seen for myself, so I can't comment on them. Perhaps I'll give them a look-see (though I haven't heard good things about SAO, myself).

[CassandraJean]

Decided to spend the time by watching the dvd that came with the Collectors Edition. I feel a little bit like I'm sitting in a history class...

[Eve Malusion]

Well joy of joys, it got shortened by an hour. "Aug. 24, 2013 from 8:00 a.m. to 9:55 a.m. (PDT)"

 

It was supposed to last untill 11 a.m.

[CassandraJean]

Huzzah! I was able to sign back in just now.

[Salty Lake]

Yeah, I'd want a break too, if I got up to get in at 2 am / 5 am!  But I decided to sleep in until 7:30.  Now I regret not getting up with the rest of you all.

 

If it makes you feel any better, there are many people who were not able to get on at 5am due to the servers locking people out cause of how many were trying to login. My friend who I was going to level with wasn't able to get on at all and had to leave for the day even though he was with me the moment the servers went live.

 

No fun! Glad I slept in. I got up at 2 am last weekend and had to wait about 20-30 minutes before I got in. I was about to fall back asleep!

The Twitters says the game is back up!

Gosh I still can't bring myself to continue watching that after seeing episode 01. That ending just.. gawd. How the music crescendoes at the *right* moment left me speechless for a while. Needless to say, I was able to handle that scene better when I read it despite it being more graphic.

 

Sorry I babbled there. I do like what I've seen of the animation so far. Top-notch! Sadly, I'm still gathering up the courage to continue hahaha... I'm up-to-date with the manga though.

All I can say about SAO is watch it for yourself and decide on your own. It has a huge following for a reason

[Colyer]

Of course.... took advantage of the maintenance to wash my truck and now I hear thunder in the distance :dodgy:

[Levi Druthers]

Sorry for dropping out of the RP in Limsa ...

 

Got hit with the dreaded 90000 error and can't log back in.

 

*sighs*

 

Servers prolly coming down again as the main site is down as well.

[RhotanoBlues]

Huh. What. Are the EU/NA servers down again?

[LiadansWhisper]

Huh. What. Are the EU/NA servers down again?

 

I can't see them at all.  And I got hit with 90k while returning to Gridania.  :-\
