Are you trolling us?

"In Crimson it Began" is the new "Cold Steel" savage mode MSQ lottery. Hope Pippin is nicer to you than Gatekeeper Raubahn.

What a mess. They can't have been taken by surprise by server congestion... i mean isnt that one of the things Pre-orders predict? 0.o

No joke. Like father like freaking son. I didn't realize early access meant beta testing.

I'm glad that I have been able to take advantage of the market somewhat with the early access, but I hate the apologists who say "you're not paying to play the game early, you're really doing stress testing" with Raubahn and Pipin; if it's borked now it's not going to be get better once you open it up on the official launch day.

I've already dedicated taking time off this week because I was under the impression I'd be able to actually progress through stuff like when Heavensward came out; I'm going to be incredibly incensed if that means I have to play the lottery to get into a single person instance so I can MAYBE continue to MSQ. I could fit a bunch of swear words in here, and while I can play devil's advocate for them to a point like a lack of hardware to support more servers, Square really dropped the ball so far and I'm pretty disappointed.

Also when "try again later" does jack squat for you at 4 in the morning, it's not me, it's you, Square and your inadequate planning for the congestion of solo instance servers. Been doing this shit for more than 24 hours in a row, you tell me when a better time would be when the optimal time still cuts me out.

Much like many others, my patience for this has reached its limit. I've been through many a MMO launch and many an expansion launch, and this is the single worst by far I've seen. It wouldn't be so bad if near the entire expansion wasn't gated behind these quests but they are, so so far this early access has amounted for me to about 1 hour of game play and a whole lot of frustration. This is was an absolute TERRIBLE roll out. You guys should have had a queue system ready to go for this. Worse, I'm not sure ANYONE is getting through. I've been at this off and on for the whole of the day, and much of yesterday and not a single person has declared they got through on my server. And that's the 1st quest, not even the 2nd which is apparently as bad or worse. The least you could do is some real PR here as at this time given the complete lack of progress I've seen, I don't expect this situation to get any better till MAYBE next weekend and that's totally unacceptable.

Nothing like getting to level 68 and yet not getting to play a single new dungeon.
