SE dropped the ball

Aaaaaand I'm still having issues getting into duty finder/quest instances. Yay.

This wouldn't be such a big problem if not for the fact that Yoshida made pretty much EVERY SINGLE PIECE OF CONTENT in the game instanced.

its too bad wada isn't around to shift blame on yoshi.

Man that was some great maintenance. So many thing got fixed. I especially like how they got rid of all the colors and I really like the endlessly spinning white icon in the bottom right of my screen. Its super entertaining

That's a recipe to kill this MMO very quickly - don't be silly, also lol at people blaming Tanaka, then Wada and now Yoshi, what next? We're going to blame Camate or the unpaid Intern?

If I had one gold for every whiney person on these forums....

You'd have currency in the wrong denomination?

like how all of u say QQ more when u know at heart that this was completely avoidable with a longer open beta that they didnt provide. It was a mistake on their part and u guys defend them blindly. Here is to smooth sailing for the rest of launch.

Peace!

And if not this problem, it would have been something else. And if not that problem, it would have been something else.

Face it, MMO launches and problems go hand in hand. There will never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, EVER be a problem-free launch. You will die from old age waiting for one. So will your grandchildren and all of your descendants.

Nooo, Im still getting ISP p2p throttling making the game unplayable after 7pm

Except it's not something else, it's never been something else, it's been the same problem over and over again.

I get that there will always be issues at launch, but this isn't even a launch issue, it's been around since beta just like all the 1.0 issues that drove away so many people. Just because you may not want to hear people complaining does not mean they don't have a legitimate complaint.

Now this will blow your minds. Assume Early Launch = Launch day. Then, next week, people who didn't preorder the game can go pick it up and start playing. We're using different terminology, but it is the SAME effect. (Granted, when you preorder a game from gamestop, you aren't required to pay in full until you pick up the game, but people could have ordered the digital copy just a day ago and still gotten early access... so the effect is the same.)

That's some serious cognitive dissonance you have going on there. I'm not going to continuously lower my expectations after every successive failure on SE's part; it'd be foolish to lie to myself over the quality of something I paid for.

You're telling me that it's acceptable for an issue that was prevalent in beta, that locked people out of properly testing the game for almost the full weekend and prompted SE to bring down the servers multiple times, is still present on the paid version of the game? And that even after bringing down the server for maintenance, the bug is still there? As an isolated incident, the 3 hour (turned 1) maintenance isn't a big deal. However, in context of everything that's happened leading up to now, it's just unacceptable.

I'm sorry, but telling me it's phase 5 beta/not really launch/everyone else sucks too doesn't justify it for me, and I doubt it'll justify it for any new players checking out the game.
