Pro-Ordering Heavensward Through Steam

Can someone give me some kind of update on what's happening with the pre-order of Heavensward CE through steam? the page for it is up, but there is no option to pre-order, NOR an option to pre-order to the CE. im scared that it wont open up until release, which is horribly unfair to steam users, because i wouldnt hasve even had the opportunity to get the pre-order goodies :(

Yes, please. An update on this would be great right about now. They said pre-ordering through Steam would be ready in May right? Well, it's May 26th. What's going on?

I would love an update. I'm becoming worried that us Steam players can't play on the 19th..

Sorry, but I think this is about as much info as you're going to get:

There's still over 3 weeks to go. They've said it's coming and Steam will be able to get early access so I really wouldn't worry. It's not like they have physical items to make, just digital codes to generate to give to Valve so they could easily do that on the very last day if they really had to (although let's hope not!)

sometime in may? damn it's the 28th as i type this
im actually pretty scared i wont be able to play on the early launch date of the 19th.

I would love some sort of comfirmation myself, I'm scared :(:(

Still nothing? :eek:

Just be patient. It will come, they have said so. early access doesn't start for a couple more weeks anyways. Just hang tight.

I'm trying not to worry because they did say we would get early access.

Also, I'm pretty sure comfirmation was a typo, but I think it'd be a great mashup of confirmation and comfort and it would be very relevant!

I'm not so sure any more...

It was confirmation from SE right? So we can sue them (Just an idea, I'm not willing to do so though) if June comes and Steam still has not pre-order set up, right? Only 1 day and single evening to go. I, as well, am not sure anymore. If there was possibility to remove steam version from my account and add retail one, I'd do so immediately.. But I'm not starting over from beginning because of it. I may be silly.. but I'm not stupid.

No. You can't sue them. Don't say dumb things please.

I'd be satisfied if we could just transfer our accounts off Steam. If I'd known "Not eligible for physical collectors editions", "Going to take its sweet time with getting something as relatively simple as a preorder together", and "Going to wait until the last minute to keep its dates" were all part of the Valve package months ago, I wouldn't have purchased this game through them. But here we are, with what (at the moment) seems like a resounding "whatever" from both companies. This is my disapproval face. First world problems aside, this is a pretty lackadaisacal approach to customer service.

I just leave this here...

Just looked on Steam for Heavensward.
At least, now there's a page that says : "Available : June 23th / this game will be unlocked in approximately 3 weeks, 2 days, 2 hours".

This mean : no pre order on steam.

Thank you so much SE.

Not SE issue they been working with both sony/steam to make things happen and so far noting on both ends.

Thank god i have a 1.0 account and never care to get a steam version of ffxiv.

As we all know, it is the dream of Valve to have no customers at all, as they seriously dislike having to deal with customers. It might look like SE has a similar dream. However, as it is right now, both companies have paying customers... One would think the economically best idea was to set aside the powerstruggle and launch the preorder on any platform. I know it doesnt matter if you get the preorder 1 month before or 1 day before, still it bugs me... Especially since we get no word on anything.....
We were promised the preorder in May, so maybe in a few hours, cuz theres only a few hours left... or arent the SE word worth anything?

So, we're at the end of May and still can't order. Should we panic yet?

No. This does not mean no pre order. Just be patient.

time to Panic!

by the way I think it is pretty horrible and cruel by SE to ignore all these threads.

So it's June now, 19 days to go and no update on Steam...

I've been patient, but now i'm kind of worried.

That's the general release date (and it's correct). If you read the text on the same page it also says:

A asked support and the said there will be preorder and early access.

I already had my eyes narrowed at this nonsense because we weren't allowed to purchase the physical CE (which I will happily blame on Square Enix, because their sales policies are annoyingly anti-third party that way)

At this point, we have nothing to gain from getting the preorder today versus next week, so complaining about that specific aspect is illogical. Sensibility aside, however...

I'm definitely in an imperious, "I don't care whose fault this is, the responsible drone needs to fix it NOW" mode. Without regard to the early access deadline, it does NOT take this effing long to get a preorder together. Somebody in some sales/legal department somewhere is being unreasonably slow for reasons I care nothing about, and it's ruffling my sense of principle.

Tbh, if it met missing out on the steam pre-orders, I'd rather SE give us a way off steam at this point.
