maintenance after maintenance

right this is geting ridiculous. the game has been out a month. today on japanese servers the emergency maintenance is being performed for the 2nd or 3rd time already. and there is still scheduled maintenance incoming!!!

are you kidding me? do you expect me to sub to this game?

Yeah and the EU/Shiva maintenance was supposed to be over an hour ago and still cant get past the start menu. I dont know what the hell is up with that this is getting ridiculous. The little time I have between college that i get to play i can't because of this crap.

I feel yah. It seems every time I get a decent HM Titan group through the DF there's an SE maintenance.

Wish I knew Japanese since I missed the transfer date, kind of lacking in a good LS group on Gungnir to do HM's. This way i wouldn't have to rely on a 1 time DF group.

But oh well what can you do? If its gotta be done better to get it done and over with.

First world problems break my heart. Pick up a book or something. You don't want to play the game til its more stable? That's fine, it is your choice. Unsubscribe. I'm sure SE wants you to stay. I'm sure that they are not just bringing down servers for no reason. They want you to stay subscribed. It's how they make money. If they could fix the problems first time with a magic wand, I'm sure they'd have done so. Unfortunately, in the real world, problems aren't fixed like that. You've got an internet connexion - you can find something else to do.

Gives me time to play my VITA

With new games you normally get plenty of maintenances at the start, a friend of mine said.
Which is true.

He also said that even though that is the case, SE isn't new to mmos nor is FFxiv new.
True again.

Now combine the lag problem still going on and now add the endless maintenances equals an unplayable game.
To add insult to injury, SE said transfers are coming mid Sept and friends are still stuck on other servers,
yet it is the 20th and nothing has even been mentioned yet...

Now we ask you SE, do you 'really' expect us to sub to this?

I'll say no more for the time being...let's see what they do about this.

All the people saying they aren't going to sub will only help relieve the situation for people who stay. Yoshi has explained the maintenance is being caused by people clearing dungeons so fast repeatedly... I'm sure they're trying to fix it, but fixes don't happen magically overnight.

If you want problems to be fixed, then there has to be maintenance.

So, you can either continue to have problems, and no maintenance.

Or, you can have maintenance and hopefully realize "Oh, this means they're addressing some of the problems we've been mentioning"

*sigh*

Everytime I get into a party there is maintenance... URGH. Does anyone know when the servers will be back up? This is my only day off work :/

I cant say Im happy with the downtime but its nothing new. Personally I find the downtime with this game rather mild compaired to most, especially in the earlier days. Even a certain large tittle has huge amounths of emergency maintainance every time they release a (major) patch. Its no justification at all but its hardly worth getting worked up about.

Error 10102, 90000, 1014, unable to connect to NA/EU servers. 40 min past maintenance time and no update from SE. Very irritating.

I finished an art commission during the maintenance, then watched my backlog of Daily Show/Colbert Report. Enjoyed myself, went back to grinding some Botanist levels, and logged out for the emergency maintenance. All in all, I've not been adversely affected, though perhaps this is due to the fact that I haven't married DF and Titan HM or AK, and thus don't feel like I have to live my life in these instances.

I heard weekly maintenances are normal n MMO's but that's only what i heard lol...

Finding something else to do for an hour or two must be really hard to do these days.

If you bothered reading you'd KNOW why the JP servers are having this period of REGULAR maintenance, Yoshi's latest 'state of the servers' post made it abundantly clear to anyone capable of reading and understanding English.

Yes,it's a pain, God knows this is the first MMO in history where the initial post-launch period had big server problems.

Dude, the game JUST launched. Issues pop up with every new launch, and considering how much bitching there is about... well everything... around here, be thankful they are listening to us and trying to fix things. If you can't think of a way to kill a couple hours while SE does maintenance then I feel really sorry for you.
