heavensward broke my ps4

My PS4 fan gets loud like a jet, but luckily mine hasn't taken off yet. It's still doing the pre-flight safety spiel.

Like others have said, it's probably a defect in your PS4 unit. Kind of off topic, but I had an issue like that happen with my GBA SP with one of the trigger buttons getting stuck. Sent it into Nintendo and they gave me a new system free of charge. Not getting your hopes up, but if you system is indeed defective, Sony could possibly compensate you with a new system or fix the faults your system had and repair it so it's good as new. Companies like Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo are good about their products and fixing things.

Yeah, whenever I go into the company workshop my PS4 spins up pretty loudly. Not sure what's going on in there that isn't going on anywhere else in the game.

Nintendo's also sent me a new Gamecube free of charge when I'm pretty sure it was past its warranty...

Have you tried contacting Sony? I haven't worked with their customer service but they may do something similar. Squeenix isn't going to do anything though since they didn't make the system.

Also: I'm running the client from Early Access and my PS3 isn't noisy. (when I was running the disc on the other hand [For ARR] it did get rather loud, but never overheated and shut down)[sounds like back when I was running my PS3 constantly with the ARR disc it sounded like it was threatening to overheat, but didn't]

This is another benefit of digital copies...you have less chance of overheating and melting something cause you have less stuff in your console spinning.

Yea you gotta go through sony for stuff like that, not Square-Enix as they didn't develop and release the PS4.

I play PS4, and even when playing for 15-20 hours a day during the first couple of days of early access I didn't have any issues. I'm on vacation this week and am putting in roughly 12 hours a day at least, and still haven't had any issues. My settings are at max graphic quality as well, with all VFX turned on, so I'm making my system's hardware work the most it can when I'm playing. And to top it off, I rarely if ever turn my PS4 off entirely, instead putting it into sleep mode at the title screen so I don't have to go through the trouble of putting in my password and security code every time I get back on....

By all rights, if this really is an issue caused by Heavensward, then my PS4 out of anyone's should be a smoldering pile of slag by now. What I'm saying is that this is clearly a hardware problem on your part, and is no fault of SE....

Most likely OP took it to a 3rd party repair shop, and theyre blowing smoke.

Also, this poster is most likely right. Sony would never respond in the matter that you claim, (IE: Blaming a particular game for the issue), unless they had many other cases and were sending out a warning to all players on the system, which SE themselves would have done as well if it was a known issue. It's simply not good business to not warn players if a particular game causes a system failure, as they would be forced to pay potentially millions in repair costs to players affected by their negligence....

TL;DR

OP is either lying about "sending it in to Sony", or is one of very, very few people who have had their PS4, (which run far better than most of the player base's computers, I'm sure, as many players can't afford a dedicated gaming computer), completely destroyed by the expansion, and neither Sony nor SE have sent out warnings regarding the matter......

[SRTtoZ]

PS4's usually sound like a jet depending on the game you play, so you should complain to Sony, not to SE.

I would really look into where you have your PS4 sitting and how its sitting. I have mine sitting straight up (not flat) and in a clear area. I also make it a point to dust the ports every month with one of those air blaster things. My ps4 stays cool. The fans start to become audible when either A. I'm at the end of the month and the ports are getting dusty or B. its hot as hell in my room because I haven't turned my ac unit on.

Take care of the ps4 like you would a PC, don't let the fan intakes/exhaust and ports get gunked up with dust and don't put it near anything that is producing its own heat (Like on-top of a cable box, or in direct sunlight)

[annoyedff14fan]

1st thing its not a rant I love the game and I sent it back to Sony and they asked which game I was playing and they said I wasn't the first and they sent me the postage to send it back they sent me a new one and said if I had any problem to contact them and now the second one is now doing the same and I'm just making people aware of the problem so no need for a dig at me anyway as I don't intend to play the game until this issue is dealt with its bon voyage to ff14 for me and I will play eso which hasn't been a problem and planetside which aren't ruining ps4 eng of conversation

[Hypie]

Wow...i'm astonished how many people forget about their 2 years guarantee...

This would mean in your case that you get that repair for free...because its not your fault that the ps4 took off.
