Regarding the Duty World Issues on the NA DC

I'm as frustrated as anyone by this stuff but, to be fair, it's not like preordering it was any more expensive than just ordering it on the 20th. Would you really not have ordered a copy of the expansion because you weren't able to start on the 16th? I certainly would have bought it anyways. If you've actually not been online you can probably still get a refund if you bought it on steam though. Maybe through other companies too if you call up.

Ya you did, it was my understanding you needed preorder the one that cost more for early access.

Right, i have been able to see a bit of two new maps and then i was stuck there for more than 48 hours. I wasn't able to see any other new areas. I wasn't able to swim. I wasn't able to gather any new resources because everything is locked behind this first instanced story quest that i haven't been able to do.

I am not saying "i payed for something that i didn't get". But i do say: I haven't been able to enjoy any new content yet besides unlocking the 2 new classes. So to me this wasn't an early access, just early frustration.

Lmao. It was $40 (US) for the base game regardless of early access. What did you pay more for? It's gonna be $40 after the 20th, too.

I didn't even order Storm, but when I try and do a class quest on my Level 25 Marauder, I get kicked, get error 90002 and can't log in for 30 minutes. It wouldn't be so bad if only the new content wasn't available, but the old, regular part of the game is unavailable as well.

Can I see your receipt please? Showing that you paid more to play early access then if you would of just bought it on the 20th. Not including physical CE, the game standard $39.99 and digital CE $59.99 the same if you pre-ordered of if you buy it next week after launch.

I bought the standard edition from Best Buy ($39.99) and got early access code.

Thanks for letting us know. Much appreciated.

Are you talking about the collector's edition? No, you don't need to preorder that to get early access. You just preorder Stormblood in general and you get early access. The preorder I did was the same price that Stormblood will be at full release.

On topic though, thank you for the heads up and communication Zhexos! :D

I would just like some days 1 or two in return..
I went to work today, managed to get off early(5PM)
home at 6:15 - logged on, now it's 8:47PM and still in queue.. i got work again tomorrow.
I might not even be able to play at all

Appreciate the apology.
