heavensward broke my ps4

Wow, just wow. Are you seriously blaming FFXIV/SquareEnix for your defective PS4?

I called Sony up to tell them about a defective controller (buttons not working) and they were very thorough with trying to find out what was the problem, and sent me a replacement very quickly.

This is true. I'm on a PC, and going into the workshop increases my GPU usage by 20% above the norm for this game. As a result, the temperature of my video card increases a few degrees Celsius (despite the fan throttling higher to compensate). That's really odd when you look at the workshop as a whole compared to.. any other indoor or outdoor environment in the game.

You sir have a screwed up PS4. I bought and switched to PS4 the month ARR was released for it, I play a lot and I don't have these issues, neither does my wife, but she doesn't play as much.

EDIT- Another thing where I live we don't have A/C, but it sure is hot, so I have a small fan pointed toward my ps4 and I also have these cookie cutters that my ps4 sits on. Maybe you should try to find a way to keep your PS4 cooler?

Woohoo, PS4 limitations. Happened sooner than expected.

Im playing on Ps3! Not any problems or weird noises o_O

Lawl.

My video card on my desktop died the 2nd or 3rd day of Heavensward Early Access. Do I blame Square? No. I blame the fact that my machine was 10 years old. Machines can wear down pretty fast sometimes, but that doesn't make it the game's fault.

I mean, unless you were beating the fan with a game disk. Then you can say the game broke your fan. XD

Gotta keep the dirt away from these things. The PS4 does have a cut off for temperature, but it's about the same as a PC. If it reaches extreme high temps before the cut off can react, it can still damage the hardware.

Where the console is situated makes a big difference, mine has free air all around on top of a player cabinet. I've like many players ran it around twelve hours as well with zero frame rate issues or noticeable heat.

The issue being that you either a.) have bad luck with faulty PS4s or b.) you don't ensure your ps4 has adequate ventilation?
