This is going out there to others who have surely suffered the same dilemma. I hadn't been able to log into the game since Dec. 24th because they had maintenance then the crazy PSN issues which kept Playstion users from being able to log in. I had Krakka roots, broombushes and (by far the thing that makes me most angry) Thavnarian onions in my garden plots. All of them dead by the time I was finally able to log back in after 2 days of trying unsuccessfully.
I have contacted the GM's through the Mog Station and in game since getting back in to do some sort of item recovery but all I'm getting is "We're sorry for the inconvenience but we can't help you." How is that acceptable?! Do they know how long it takes to get the seeds for those damn onions?!
If this has happened to you please share it here and maybe we will get the attention we deserve and have our wrongfully neglected plants given back to us!
Lost plants due to PSN issues!

Nobody in your free company plays on pc to water the plants?
-
12-28-2014, 01:18 PMViridianaIf it was a personal house, no one else can water them. At least, that's my understanding. . .Quote:

I can understand your frustration. I am trying to get the seeds to make the Onion seeds. I'm a pc player though I know how much stuff costs and how long it can take >.< I'm sorry for your loss but as the previous poster said, you should of contacted someone in your fc thats on pc and ask em if they could water your plants for you so they don't die.

12-28-2014, 01:22 PMTwivanaNot true. I had my bf water my plants when I couldn't pay for my sub and was offline for a couple of days. You can water anyone's plants just can't fertilize them.Quote:

They could at least give everyone some free Thanalan Soil to get started again right away!
Although it did highlight a communication problem with our FC when we are not connected through the game. We'll have to find a working back-up plan for the next hack job. That was reallllly BAD. -
12-28-2014, 01:25 PMTwivanawait what??? You can fetilize them too? Is this like a permissions thingy? If so please tell me sempai :3 So I can let my fc know. We have two houses and can only water the one house thats not "technically" an fc house although it is.Quote:

I know you can tend other people's plants as well as water them; our neighbors from the FC next door do that sometimes.
-
12-28-2014, 01:31 PMHeroSamsonThere are 3 settings.Quote:

They can edit your status to allow you to do those 3 things. -
12-28-2014, 01:33 PMHanzoSteel78
Sadly everyone in the FC is also on Playstion, so no PC users to save the day.
-
12-28-2014, 01:34 PMHeroSamsonNo there is actually.Quote:

Including the 3 I named disposal, harvesting and planting.
Once you have access you can fertilize, water and plant. -
12-28-2014, 01:34 PMTwivanaI know that but what if the house is outside of the free company house such as personal housing?? Our second house technically belongs to one of our officers but is used as our second house so that we can have more plots for gardening and doing cross breeds and such.Quote:

12-28-2014, 01:42 PMTwivanaThen I don't think it's possible. I can tend fertilize, water/tend, and even plant (though I don't with their gardens) with the offical fc plot/housing. But say if someone from my fc came to my personal house, they would only be able to water it. :/ darn I got all excited too! Oh well.Quote:

With all these issues it'd be cool if SE could offer some sort of compensation to PS3 and PS4 players. I mean it's not really their fault and they don't have to, but it'd be a pretty neat goodwill gesture on their part.
-
12-28-2014, 01:58 PMTwivanaWell they did it with the gold dyes why not at least the seeds if not soil? Maybe even 1 onion. It makes a difference ya know? Hopefully a dev will see this post and at least suggest it to their higher ups.Quote:

I'd also suggest everyone who keeps making threads on the subject to go complain to Sony directly, as they are the ones who should be compensating players for loss of service.
-
12-28-2014, 02:02 PMHanzoSteel78You are my hero! I too wish for the same. I mean there have to be people on the customer service side who've played the game and know how much time it takes to get these plants through gardening. I bought none of it, all seeds and soils I harvested so it was A LOT of work getting to this point. Seeing it all rotting in the garden due to this issue with PSN really sucks...Quote:

12-28-2014, 03:17 PMMancub22
It would be awesome if SE could reimburse us psn users for lost plants, had a batch of 7 thavnarian onions in my garden while psn was down, tried to log in a few times everyday to no avail and everyone I play with plays on Playstation so no one I knew could water em for me. Those seeds took weeks of crossbreeding and gathering soil to get, SE I would think highly of you if you could help us PSN users out.
-
12-28-2014, 03:20 PMKyandeisu
Why not make a thread where people can post their server, and their house plot location so that those that wont mind helping out can come check on the plants once a day? At least until this whole fiasco with the PSN is resolved. It wont hurt to put the info out there for those of us that wont mind trying to help can go help out.
-
12-29-2014, 07:26 AMTwivanaHaha ^^ I always try to help people and think of the quality of life for players. Now the question is how can we get a devs attention upon this matter? Is there some kinda bell we can ring? LOLQuote:

12-29-2014, 08:53 AMTwivanaEven so. At least half of the players lil more or less give or take play on ps3 or ps4. They couldn't get on to take care of their plants. It was SE's idea to uses sonys playstations and psn. They should at least give something back to those players who have gardens that are on ps3/ps4.Quote:

Contrary to popular belief not much Sony or MS could have done about it either. No life low lifes will always find a way to get their BS through. It will most likely happen again at some point.Quote:

We have to get over it and move on. I have already replanted and will start the process again. If it happens again, then it happens, and nobody can stop it. -
12-29-2014, 09:21 AMTwivanaDunno why your getting all up tight for. Calm your tits. I ain't attacking anyone. I'm just saying that it was SE's idea to use Playstation platform. It's not their fault for the attacks. Sheesh even SE got hijacked a couple of weeks or month ago. Everyone complained. If I was stuck playing on ps3/ps4 I would be upset that my plants died too. Especially the really rare ones like the onions. It's not that hard to provide us with some soil and maybe even an onion and it wouldn't effect the market board at all. It would only be to those players that have their own gardens and that are only on ps3 & ps4. I mean sheesh even with the event you have a chance of getting an onion. It's not that much to ask.Quote:

Sadly, and I am truly sorry to say... but in my experience SE is most likely going to stick with "Sorry, but nothing we can do. Not our fault." (Played FFXI for a good while)
They have a really cold policy when it comes to "things F#$%ing up", which goes back to them claiming "Hey, you're just paying to be able to access the game. Nothing else guaranteed."
Not to say that they're heartless or "evil" about it..it's just a corporate decision they've decided to stick with. -
12-29-2014, 09:56 AMMiitan
So you want Square Enix to give you compensation (in the form of seeds) because Sony's Playstation Network was down? By this logic, if my internet goes down, can I ask for compensation from my VPN company because I can't use their services?
-
12-29-2014, 10:12 AMTwivanaI actually didn't mean seeds. I meant soil and maybe an onion. I am saying this for the ps3/ps4 players. I play on PC. It's not SE's fault no. But there was an outage. It really isn't that hard to compensate for soil at least now is it? I'm just saying. It would be nice if they do.Quote:
