You should have seen the forums for the Shadowlands launch day.

SUCH DEVASTATION!

Endwalker's launch is flawless in comparison.

FF14 player: "Wooooooow, I can't believe it took me over an hour to log on!"

WoW player: "You guys' servers were up on launch day....?"

You said the game is unavailable, that's false by your own words:

I mean, 3 hour queues suck, but you CAN play. SE can't control when your playtime is any more than they can control when optimal playtime is, nor can they help that their game is experiencing massive popularity at the moment (though I think they're probably pretty cool with that) but they are working on que times and you CAN play with just a bit of patience and determination.

Unsubbing is just overkill. An kinda whiny besides. It's a statement of a lack of faith in a game that has been running consistently well for a long time.

Sucks when folks leave. Hope you find something else. This will all normalize in a few days anyway.

They gave 7 days free of charge time....

WoW mole spotted. WE ARE NEVER GETTING BACK TOGETHER!

I Expected more lags/Server issues.

This is probably your first launch.. Well i witnessed GW2, SW:Tor, Wildstar, Blade and Soul, WoW classic Launches etc... and this is by far the smoothest so far. I do not understand the complaining... are you guys just little Kids who do not understand how supply and demand works.. damn this World nowadays...only angry egoistical karens out there with anxiety..

---

I witnessed Blade and Soul too and it was very nice launch with very short queue. So are you trolling or made mistake listing your games?

Okay...?

Not sure why this needed a topic. Who are you again?

----

Blade and Soul has a far smaller population then ff14 and didn't suddenly get millions of WoW players jumping over and tons of returning players too at the same time.

Maybe in six months or so. I'm enjoying Endwalker much more than even Shadowbringers. This will likely be my favourite expansion by quite a bit. Yes there are launch issues but I value the content they put out and so I will stay subbed. I went through World of Warcraft Classic's "don't forget to get someone to queue up for you 6 hours before you get home from work, remotely, the day before even" and New World's stupidity, I can survive FFXIV's server meltdown.

Ok, bye.

I support this motion if you all unsub then I won't have to wait in a queue.

I am approaching hour 2 of queue for EU zodiark and its really unfortunate that I cannot leave my pc due to multiple random 2002's. I thankfully have never had the dreaded 4004. Still, 481 to go.. maybe another 20-30mins and I am in.
Really my only gripe is we cannot hop in queue with a reasonable time estimate and go do other things. Wont be unsubbing over it, I love the game even with all the gripes I have over job design choice etc, holy crap the story that I have got to so far is GOOD!

We all knew long queue times were coming, it is the errors that really make it feel bad. Glad to see that they actually are gonna give 1 week free playtime to compensate, didn't expect that one.

Everyone knew there would be queues,EVERYONE. If you are unhappy unsub, see ya later. Come back in a month. But I bet you didn't unsub. Obviously you havent experienced any other game but I have to say in the 35 years or more that I have been playing MMOs this expansion has gone smooth.

Ongoing Congestion Situation and Compensation https://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodes...a8505e75541ab1


"Considering that we are asking players to wait in queues for extremely long periods of time and the ongoing situation making it difficult to play normally, we have decided that during the official release of Endwalker on December 7, we will be granting 7 days of free game time to all players who own the full version of the game and have an active subscription.

I mean they knew before hand, they increased the number of servers for the Japanese region but chose not to for NA nd EU regions, and the Japanese region as far far less players than EU

I am amazed there is a thread about an issue that was foreseeable in its magnitude for like 2 months ahead. So to avoid it you could have already unsubbed back then.
