Update on patch 2.4: People would rather be able to play than have patch 2.4 implemented so it has been cancelled. Please enjoy your extra 25 hours in-game!

You can post on the forums while you're outside though...

We're going to have to pay for 3.0 because it's a formal expansion. I can't wait to see the nerd tears fall when we have the same downtime for that.
Mmmmm delicious nerd tears...does that make me a cannibal?

Did you know that maintenance downtime is included in your monthly subscription?

I will be surprised if this happens though. Blizzard was known for doing this during massive maintenance.

Your reimbursement is new content for free.

Your reimbursement is being able to play the game again after the maintenance ends.

I think we need to tell the OP that his reimbursement for maintenance is a free patch... 9238 more times.

I will more than gladly accept compensation if offered, because why not? I do/will not demand it though.

I'm thinking, 3.0 might actually take longer than 24 hours, because they will be adding a lot more than usual.

Go back to wow if you miss your reimbursement. The majority of FFXIV players (particularly the ones familiar with FFXI) really don't care about reimbursement for patches and maintenance.

Also "poor dude" likely knew ahead of time posting a thread like this would get many pages of negative/opposite response. It's not like he invented the wheel with this thread.

All the same, I feel bad for OP, too. People shouldn't go through live with such a sense of entitlement. It's not healthy for the ego.

PM'd you. 50 cents a day; with an accumulated 3 days worth of maintenance I expect 1.50 in my paypal account I sent you.

>: And if we were not getting maintenance for new content or if stuff were to be broken and they didn't fix it you'd be the first one whining then too.

15/720 = $0.02 per hour. You lost 80 cents. And that doesn't even take into account the ToS's statement regarding downtime. Are you that desperate to demand reimbursement for 80 cents worth of lost time?

Hate to be that guy, but it's 744 hours in October. Doesn't affect the rest of your calculations though, since the extra day is minimal.

o_O servers being down during large patches is normal....
They aren't being unreasonable with the down time. There is no need for any sort of reimbursement.

And if this happened the devs would not charge anyone for a whole day.

Hate to be that guy, but subscription periods are per 30 day increments rather than calendar month. 720 hours is correct

You know what else you are paying for? For the maintenance. Read the terms of service and stop being so self entitled to some form of "re-payment".

Are they planning on fixing the 9000 frontlines error?

Cause it seems almost like they don't really know or care about it.
10-27-2014, 03:47 AM
Gilraen

I think they're probably out of ideas on how to fix Frontlines and, thus, are working on the servers to maybe solve the problem there. Would also go a long way to fixing lag issues that pop up every so often. To the original post, what do you mean 'we'? I don't have any problems with games taking time to install patches and fix infrastructure. Unless YOU are the community, don't speak FOR the community.

If OP still isn't satisfied with 2.4 content as compensation, here's something else that'll help compensate. We're getting an XP bonus to help get us started on ROG.

typically, an expansion is seperate data that must be downloaded/installed. the likelyhood of it taking longer than a patch is, at least to my exp, relatively small if downtime is even required.
