This is sad.

This kind of made me cry!

Thank you for the opportunity to test your product, and for your dedication; You're my hero!

I'm just as ashamed of people who take whatever SE dole out and say 'its fine' or 'I'm lucky to be with you' like some abused partner, as I am of people who are personally attacking employees.

There is a point where something is someone's job. Someone clearly was not doing theirs over the weekend and it needed to be addressed. I'm glad they have seen what a bad experience EA was for NA/EU, and now they have to work hard to make it right, and I'm sure they will.

Not looking forward to getting home from work to 1017 for 30 mins trying to get in though...

No ofcourse not, but it will be fixed in time they working hard on it.
I Remeber playing Aion online when they released. They had queue's but i could wait up to 3 to 6 hours or even more.
I diden't post forum about i just had accept it even if it was frustrating.
It is clear that they do not ignore any problems.
Of course it is frustrating to people, but people need to take it easy,
I fully support the XIV team I hope they continuing to develop the game further, It is a great game i have good time again.

But they have done well for a game launch everyone will not be pleased, but they trying atlest..

Yoshi... don't cry. We love you and your game. /hugs!

This is what we're saying, stop attacking Yoshi-P himself and his team. It's the NA/EU third-party holder's fault. Yet the attacks on Yoshi continue.

hmm so attacks is what you call valid criticism now
i bet you dont even know youre using alinsky tactics
calling people attackers, people with valid criticisms is actualy.... an attack, the thing you claim to be against

[Jinzuki]

I think I'm gonna quit this forum. I seriously don't know where all the D-bags came from but they're a lot, and in high numbers.

My FFXIV experience so far:

Day 1: Waited half an hour while server was full. Played many an hour after that. no problem
Day 2: Log in. Play. Log out.

^How can this warrant people screaming "refund"?

I'm starting to miss the FFXI community. they were incredibly elitist but at least they had a average IQ above 80.

So we should apply this same rule to everything in real life. Lets say for example, you buy a new TV that wasn't thoroughly tested before shipped out to the stores. On receiving it you find out it has major issues and the makers needs to continue fixing it and every time you get it back a new issue pops up, and yet you should be grateful for the makers in taking their time in trying to repair it. Is this how we should be when we get a product that isn't working when they had the opportunity to make improvements before rushing it?

They could have extended Phase 4(Possibly pushing the release back), allowed a larger amount of players in, and making sure its very stable. Instead they simply increased Phase 4 by only 6 hours on the NA/EU server when it wasn't even peak time. These issues could have been greatly avoided had they taken the correct steps before release. I can see why many players complain, when you buy something, you expect it to work without any hassle.

This game is 10/10, we were only upset because we couldn't get in.. Even I am guilty of being impatient. But the reason those kids rage so hard is because they tasted of the sweet juicy goodness that is ffxiv and they just neeeed more. Once the pacifier is in their mouths they are okay. I hope Yoshi did not get his feelings hurt by some of the sad members of our community. Most of us are ashamed of how some people treat others..

I will be playing this game for a long time to come. Square Enix has done amazing with everything including their tech support and maintenance's.

The community's anger came from its desperation not its hatred. <33333

[darkliquid90]

way way way to many whiney babies... calm the heck down and realise they are spending hundreds of thousands of dollars for you greedy nerds just to play a few days early. show some respect, wait a whole 3 hours for maintenance, go wash yourself for once cuz god knows most of you havent gotton off your damn chairs for atleast 48 hours.. get laid..do something except sit here and bicker about something that you have no controll over. fat greasy nerds.

[Cueball]

Yoshi-P and staff, you've done an amazing job creating a world for us all to enjoy for years to come. Keep up the great work. /hug
