This is a sad experience. I work all day to come home, try and relax to pay for a game I cannot log into at all. I see everyone complaining, and they have a right too!
What was the point of pre-order early access?
also interesting how the main servers with problems are the NA/EU ones.
How about some server hardware updating?

They've been trying to buy server hardware for a year. There's a global pandemic causing a semiconductor shortage.

12-06-2021, 05:25 AMTylerDurdenThis is a lie. I am an IT engineer/admin for a living and this isn't true. You can order server hardware fairly easily.Quote:

Because JP has more capacity than they could possibly fill. 80% of their space is unused

There is a massive shortage affecting most industries. I doubt they'd shoot themselves in the foot on purpose by just not buying servers - they literally stated that they even tried to buy some at WELL above market price, and still couldn't get them. It's fine to be upset about all this, but inform yourself first, or you risk making yourself look a fool. We all knew months ahead of time about congestion, but the log-in errors are the real slap in the face.Quote:

If there's a chip shortage, and they "tried" to get servers, but they couldn't, then how will this get better? After enough people leave the game and the current servers can handle who is left?

12-06-2021, 07:56 AMijuakos_xqwztsIt's astonishing that even though it's about a half week since launch and SE has no obligation to, they gave everyone a week of free game time to make up for the issues - and it *still* wasn't enough to please people. With some of these peeps' self-entitled ranting, I'd rather they went back to WoW (saying this, as it reminds me a lot of that community).Quote:

What good is it if you can't log in? Here have some headlights for a car that doesn't start.

If there's a chip shortage, and they cannot get servers, how will this work itself out unless enough people leave that the current servers can still handle it. I can find other things to do, I'm not going to obsess over a game, but the points I bring up aren't any less valuable. I see the point of the original post I made eluded you.Quote:

But game time for a game you can't play is pretty much a total waste. I paid for the sub and the Expansion already. They need to fix the errors first and foremost... the queue is horrific but its basically an unplayable game for most people due to 2002/4004 errors. I would bet most of the complaints were drop off if you actually could manage to play without logging in at 4am and finding some way to not get logged out.Quote:

Then they should not have sold the game knowing they could not support it.
-
12-06-2021, 08:23 AMjdavidlolThough I 10000% percent agree, something tells me the publishers and shareholders would make that impossible and on top of that... they may have genuinely not expected this to be this bad (I know.... how could they not expect it to be so busy and popular... but still)Quote:

Being on a software team myself I will say that often times the people with the knowledge of how bad things might be don't get to make the decisions. I don't think Square is blameless in this, but I doubt the dev team had much if any say in itQuote:

At the same time, Yoshi P can leverage say on it and chooses not to. He can remind them of 1.0 and tell them I can let your ass go bankrupt and end up at another studio. Those bean counters are worthless to the company.

12-06-2021, 08:38 AMoaktreeCalling someone a boot licker when they call you out on your idiocy. Just because you're in IT server maintenance (ME TOO BUDDY) shows you're either ignorant of your job and/or just a pissy cry baby. I'd take both after reading your few posts on this thread. It's understandable to be upset, but to think you know every server setup across the globe is fucking ludicrous. Grow up please you're an adult.Quote:

Nope, get used to it, I'm sick of boot lickers ruining shit because they are inflating their egos to the point where they can do no wrong. I don't need to be an IT expert to tell you that your servers are horrible if free to play games can manage better. You charge a subscription to login, you are going to be held to a higher standard and if you can't meet it, then stop charging a sub. It doesn't matter if you make a masterpiece if no can experience it to begin with.

12-06-2021, 09:36 AMArius69I agree with what you said....except the part that how could they know. I bought two licenses...they know by who purchased Endwalker.Quote:

I believe they were trying to get more servers but then Pandemic screwed them over. Something about a semi conductor shortage.

That's the excuse but JP servers don't have the problem though
-
12-06-2021, 09:52 AMVandrakThen my question is, won't that problem continue with no relief in sight since there's a "shortage."Quote:

They don't need to buy more though, they are paying for server space that's not being used. 80% of jp servers are near empty. They should (should have too) distribute resources where it's needed most.
