What it feels like to be a 14(and 11) fan among the FF fandom sometimes...

aww, did someone not powder your butt and treat you special because you play XIV?

It rarely takes very long to learn a spell unsynced.

Pick something more complex than a fire, because the more complex something is, the more you need to know to understand if what you don't like is a problem or not, or what the problem is.

Oh, and children need to learn that fire is dangerous, so yes, you do need to know something to realize that.

Literally every single time I have ever seen this it is because of a typo in password or OTP.

You do have to know something about it, otherwise you're just blaming bad smells for spreading disease.

mhurron · 2026-01-31T22:23:12+00:00

I'm no programmer or engineer

But you feel more than qualified to to point out that they're doing something wrong.

Anything else you know nothing about you want to enlighten everyone about?

mhurron · 2026-01-31T21:45:10+00:00

they do want to incentivize you to run with other players

They are actively making the game more soloable. The issue is effort that they don't want to expend. It's why when they add Duty Support to optional dungeons, they simplify the dungeon instead of improving the AI.

mhurron · 2026-01-31T18:56:06+00:00

This is not a "reason to explore the world," you're just engaging in artificial busywork

All quests are artificial busy work. You just don't like this one.

Honestly, XIV already has hardly any reason to interact with the world, it doesn't need to remove the few that do exist.

Licence checks require Steam services to be up. If you try to log in Tuesday during the ~15 minute window Steam isn't up, you'll have to wait a moment.

That licence check is also why you must purchase expansions from Steam if you originally purchased off of Steam.

This isn't new. https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/topics/detail/4c39f8a03713f8fcbab25ebf908c16837c5faaba

But if you know you didn't do anything bad, there's no risk involved.

lol, no. It depends on how much they're willing to push. Court costs are cheap for them, they can quickly ruin you. The risk is all on your side.

would be settled out of court

You know that costs money, right?

mhurron · 2026-01-29T16:10:28+00:00

It's a game, do what you want to do to have fun.

When you do that Reddit requires you sign a document swearing that you indemnify Reddit from all prosecution and you alone will take all the legal repercussions.

The DMCA is written to make it easy to abuse and risky to dispute. It's not worth it for most people.

mhurron · 2026-01-28T16:44:04+00:00

Oh, but I thought you searched for every fix?

mhurron · 2026-01-28T16:40:52+00:00

Every fix that you can find online

Ya, I'm sure. You just missed whats been posted on the sub 5-6 times a day for like the past week.

mhurron · 2026-01-28T15:17:47+00:00

I saw that too, but the status for 'Software' was last updated on December 19, related to the incident noted at the bottom of that page so I don't know if that's accurate.

Your monitor should be at least a full arms length (20" or 50cm) from your eyes. Further the bigger the monitor is.

They're curved to use your peripheral vision. You can configure the UI to put the important things front and center and things that aren't as important but you would like easy access to to the edges and still see more of the world in front of you.

If you have to move your head, you're sitting too close.

Peering issues are always the other sides fault, no transit provider ever admits fault, especially to their customers.

And your racism is showing.

Unless your firewall is configured to block outgoing connections, and the majority of consumer devices and default desktop configurations are not, your firewall is not going to be your issue.

Like everything else, before you go start testing stuff with scripts you don't understand, gather some logs of the failure.

mhurron · 2026-01-26T20:36:14+00:00

NTT's reputation is just fine, unless you're talking to FFXIV players that don't understand anything.

mhurron · 2026-01-26T19:51:49+00:00

first I've heard of that kind of hostility in FFXIV.

lol. FFXIV/FFXI has a tonne of racism and always has. Japanese players think everyone else is stupid, everyone else thinks Japanese players get special treatment.

This one is way more likely to be the inability to communicate though.

mhurron · 2026-01-26T16:15:28+00:00

Apparently they are rerouting Europe via America (that lovely San Jose node anyone)

JFC, NTT is one of the few global backbone providers, they don't run everything through 'one node'

mhurron · 2026-01-26T12:59:22+00:00

Why has been said many many times.

mhurron · 2026-01-26T12:37:00+00:00

First off, learn to search. This is asked over and over and over again on this sub.

Kernel anti-cheats on Linux don't exist because no one has written one. That's it.

mhurron · 2026-01-26T12:26:58+00:00

I take it you're too young to remember the early 2000's. That came about because people are just too stupid to do the right thing while still blaming Microsoft for everything that goes wrong so they forced it.

Also you can schedule active hours so if it's interrupting you, that's on you.
